| China's Xi says anti-graft fight no "House of Cards" power play | |  By Michael Martina SEATTLE (Reuters) - China's fight against entrenched corruption is not a "House of Cards"-style power struggle, President Xi Jinping said on Tuesday as he began his first state visit to the United States, vowing to press on with his campaign. Xi has warned that corruption threatens the ruling Communist Party's survival and his three-year anti-graft campaign has brought down scores of senior officials in the party, the government, the military and state-owned enterprises. There has been repeated speculation at home and abroad - and sources with ties to the leadership have told Reuters - that the graft crackdown is as much about Xi taking down his enemies as it is about cleaning up the Communist Party.

| Justice deal with Colombia rebels will not please everyone - Santos | |  A deal with leftist FARC rebels on how they would be punished under a peace accord for crimes during Colombia's 51-year war will not please everyone, President Juan Manuel Santos said on Tuesday, as negotiators finalize talks on the point. Santos has maintained that members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, must pay for human rights violations and other crimes in order for a peace deal to be signed. "Not everyone will be pleased but I am sure that in the long-term this will be better, because it doesn't matter if some are discontented," Santos said.

Johnson SEATTLE (Reuters) - Chinese President Xi Jinping, facing a skeptical audience on the first day of a week-long U.S. visit, sought to reassure business and government officials on Tuesday over a long list of irritants, from economic reform to cyber attacks, human rights and commercial theft. China will not manipulate its currency to boost exports and will never engage in commercial theft, he said, adding it will not discriminate against foreign businesses, will speed its market opening and make efforts to improve human rights.

| U.S. judge rules copyright for 'Happy Birthday' invalid | |  A U.S. judge on Tuesday ruled that Warner/Chappell Music does not own a valid copyright to one of the world's most recognizable songs, "Happy Birthday to You," a decision that brings the song into the public domain. The highly-anticipated ruling comes in a putative class-action lawsuit filed by several artists against Warner/Chappell, the music publishing arm of Warner Music Group, over the song in 2013 seeking a return of the millions of dollars in fees the company has collected over the years. In order to make his ruling, U.S. District Judge George H. King had to delve into the song's long and complicated history, which began in 1893 with the publication of a melody called "Good Morning to All" in a kindergarten songbook, written by a Kentucky woman named Mildred Hill and her sister, Patty.

"Falun Gong practitioners have been put into forced labor camps, prisons, and mental hospitals, and they have been killed for their organs," said Michael Green, 38, of Seattle.
