ACROSS AMERICA The gift a Waukesha, Wisconsin, woman gave her mother-in-law held the promise of life.
It was a single kidney bean in a box, a symbol of the much-better gift that radio host Elizabeth Kay wanted to give her mother-in-law, who learned the week of Christmas that she was in stage 4 kidney failure and needed a transplant.

NASHVILLE, TN The man believed to be responsible for the Christmas Day bombing that tore through downtown Nashville blew himself up in the explosion, and appears to have acted alone, federal officials said Sunday.
Investigators used DNA and other evidence to link the man, identified as Anthony Quinn Warner, to the mysterious explosion but said they have not determined a motive. Officials have received hundreds of tips and leads, but have concluded that no one other than Warner is believed to have been involved in the early morning explosion that damaged dozens of buildings and injured three people.
