Vice President Joe Biden said President Barack Obama is exploring executive orders to help stop mass shootings.

CNN) -- President Barack Obama is exploring executive orders to help prevent mass shootings in America, Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday.

"The president is going to act. Executive orders, executive action, can be taken," Biden told reporters before meetings with groups representing survivors of mass shootings. "We haven't decided what this is yet, but we're compiling it all with the help of the attorney general and all the rest of the Cabinet members."

Legislative action also is needed, Biden said.

"I'm convinced we can affect the well-being of millions of Americans, and take thousands of people out of harm's way, if we act responsibly," he said.

In anticipation of the 2014 World Cup, prostitutes in one of Brazil's biggest cities are signing up for free English classes.

Cida Vieira, president of the Association of Prostitutes in the city of Belo Horizonte, said Tuesday that 20 have already signed up for the courses and she expects at least 300 of the group's 4,000 members to follow suit. The association is organizing the classes and seeking volunteer teachers in Brazil, where prostitution is legal.

"I don't think we will have problems persuading English teachers to provide services for free," she said. "We already have several volunteer psychologists and doctors helping us."
She said classes are expected to begin in March and last up to eight months.

Unlike Rhimes' hit, NBC's new series seems to tiptoe around what it means to have a black leading lady.

(The Root) -- The comparisons were inevitable and obvious. NBC's newest murder mystery, Deception,starring Meagan Good, looks a lot like ABC's Revenge, a show that has chronicled the lifestyles of the rich and homicidal since last season.

Nearly every mention of Deception, which premiered Monday night, is sure to cite the new show's clear nod to the ABC hit. Although scandal and the wealthy have always made for must-see TV, in an interview withUSA Today, Good bulleted the disparate plotlines as if they were practiced talking points.

"I think this is really different, in the sense that it has all these elements from great shows that people love, but it's really its own thing because of the love triangle, the family drama, the murder mystery, and because this girl is living a double life," said Good, making a case for a fresh take on an old subject.

But Deception has something in common with another ABC hit -- something that isn't getting much attention. I'm talking, of course, about Scandal, the Kerry Washington-led ensemble soap in which another strong (if flawed) black leading lady has made it her job to solve problems while being mired in her own

  • Urooj Khan, 46, won $1 million before taxes on an Illinois lottery scratch ticket in June.

    CNN) -- One day, Urooj Khan literally jumped for joy after scoring a $1 million winner on an Illinois lottery scratch ticket.

    The next month, he was dead.

    The Cook County medical examiner's office initially ruled Khan's manner of death natural. But after being prompted by a relative, the office revisited the case and eventually determined there was a lethal amount of cyanide in Khan's system.

    "That ... led us to issue an amended death certificate that (established) cyanide toxicity as the cause of death, and the manner of death as homicide," Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Steve Cina said Monday.

    Why did Khan, an Indian immigrant who was described as a well-liked, hardworking and successful businessman, die? And who is responsible?

    Finding that out is now up to the Chicago police. No arrests have been made.

    "We are investigating it as a murder, and we're working closely with the medical examiner's office," Chicago police spokeswoman Melissa Stratton said Monday.
