VOLGOGRAD, Russia (AP) — Russian security forces hunted Tuesday for the husband of a suicide bomber a day after she blew herself up on a bus in southern Russia, killing six people and wounding more than 30 others. They also raised the possibility that Moscow, not Volgograd, was the bomber's original target.

Investigators say 30-year-old Naida Asiyalova, a native of the volatile province of Dagestan in Russia's North Caucasus region, was married to an ethnic Russian man who had joined Islamic militants. They say her husband, Dmitry Sokolov, has become a top rebel expert in explosives and could have been involved in equipping his wife for the suicide mission.

Sokolov has been on the run since he left his home in a Moscow suburb in the summer of 2012.

The bombing Monday in the southern Volgograd region was the first attack against a civilian target outside the volatile North Caucasus region in years, raising fears of a new wave of terror just three-and-half months before the start of the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi.

Volgograd lies 650 kilometers (400 miles) northeast of the North Caucasus, where an Islamic insurgency has been simmering for more than a decade after two separatist wars in Chechnya. In Dagestan, the center of the insurgency, bombings and shootings occur almost daily. The Tsarnaev brothers, accused of carrying out the Boston Marathon bombings, have roots in Dagestan and Chechnya.

It was not clear why Asiyalova chose Volgograd, since she had a ticket for Moscow, authorities said.

Vladimir Markin, the spokesman for the Investigative Committee, Russia's main investigative agency, said authorities were trying to determine whether Asiyalova had planned her attack in Volgograd or made an impromptu choice along the way. He said Asiyalova took a Moscow-bound bus from Dagestan, but left it in Volgograd and took a local bus, where she detonated her explosives Monday.

The bomb was rigged with shrapnel, which caused severe injuries and left many of the wounded in grave condition. Most of the passengers were students coming home after lessons.

Dmitry Yudin, a student who suffered a concussion and arm wound, said he had noticed Asiyalova when she boarded the bus because she wore a dark Islamic headscarf. He told The Associated Press the suspected attacker looked "calm and collected" and kept a low profile.

Rasul Temirbekov, a spokesman for the Investigative Committee's regional branch in Dagestan, said Asiyalova met Sokolov, a university student, in Moscow and recruited him to join the rebels in Dagestan. He studied Islam and the Arabic, took the nom de guerre of Abdul Jabbar and quickly gained a reputation with the militants.

Investigators believe Sokolov had prepared explosives for a suicide bomber who blew herself up outside the regional branch of Russia's Interior Ministry in Dagestan in May, killing 12 people.

Temirbekov said Asiyalova had a fatal bone illness, but her mother countered that, telling the daily Izvestia newspaper that her daughter had some stomach problems after taking diet pills but nothing serious.

Ravzat Asiyalova also said her daughter became strongly religious three years ago. She told Izvestia she disapproved of that and her daughter rarely called her, mainly to avoid arguments.

In an apparent retaliation for Monday's bombing, unidentified attackers set threw firebombs late Monday at a Muslim prayer house in Volgograd, police said. A custodian managed to put out the fire.

NEW YORK (AP) — Slavery in the United States was once a roaring success whose wounds still afflict the country today.

So says Henry Louis Gates, Jr., who examines both its success and shame in "The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross," his new PBS documentary series that traces 500 years of black history.

"Slavery is a perfect example of why we need limits on the more unfortunate aspects of human nature," he says. "Slavery was capitalism gone berserk."

The horrifically profitable practice of slavery and the brutal inhumanity of Jim Crow loom large in "The African Americans" (premiering Tuesday at 8 p.m. EDT; check local listings), which, through its six hours, performs a neat trick: Its reach extends far beyond American shores, venturing through the Caribbean region and all the way to Africa, while deftly folding this sprawl of black history into the larger American story that, too often, has kept the role of black America shunted to the margins.

Slavery — "the supreme hypocrisy" — was always an essential ingredient of the American experiment. White America always drew heavily on the labor, culture and traditions of blacks while denying them due credit in exchange, not to mention their human rights.

The father of our country was one of its largest slave owners, even as one of his slaves, Harry Washington, understandably fled to join a British regiment and fight against the patriots.

"Because of the profound disconnect between principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and the simultaneous practice of slavery, we've had historical amnesia about slavery," Gates was saying in a recent interview. "We still see the effects, and feel them."

Even the site for the nation's capital city — Washington, D.C. — was chosen to accommodate the mighty bloc of Southern slave owners.

And the series also notes that, among too many other cruel paradoxes, slaves cut the stone and laid the bricks for the U.S. Capitol.

"The African Americans" doesn't fall prey to white scapegoating. For instance, Africans practiced slavery long before white Europeans cashed in, and Gates journeys to Sierra Leone, where he visits with Africans whose forebears profited from it.

Gates — an author, Harvard scholar, social critic and filmmaker — is more interested in recognizing and discovering oft-neglected pieces of the American puzzle.

The series starts with what Gates deems a downright scoop. It turns out the very first African to come to North America was a free man accompanying Spanish explorers who arrived in Florida in 1513. This was more than a century before the first 20 African slaves were brought to the British colony of Jamestown by pirates who traded them for food.

Thus does his series roll the clock back 106 years to a largely unknown starting point in African-American history.

From there, it covers slavery, the Civil War, the Jim Crow era and the rise of civil rights. It concludes on a high note, exactly 500 years from where it began, with the second inauguration of Barack Obama, the nation's first black president.

Even so, Gates says he didn't want to sound a false note of triumph: "By nature, I'm an optimist, but we end the series with the message, 'This is the best of times, the worst of times.'"

Worst? He points out many dismaying facts. A disproportionate number of black men are imprisoned today. A huge percentage of black children are born out of wedlock to single mothers.

And it's no secret that, while a winning number of Americans cheered on Obama, many others disdain the idea of a black man in the White House, a mindset Gates sees as yet another legacy of slavery and the racism it perpetuated.

One possible solution — and one mission for his series — is to bring the big picture to the nation's schools, where Gates hopes to place "The African Americans" as part of a permanent curriculum.

"If we start with first grade, in 12 years we'll have the whole school re-educated about the real nature of American history," he says. "The series is designed to inspire black people about the nobility of our tradition in this country, and to inspire ALL people about the nobility of that struggle.

"If we confront the excesses and sins of the past," he says, "it will help us understand where we are today."

U.S. job growth seen having revved up before budget fight hit

By Lucia Mutikani

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. job growth likely picked up a bit in September, suggesting the economy enjoyed rising momentum before an acrimonious budget fight in Washington took some of the wind out of its sails.

Nonfarm payrolls are expected to have increased by 180,000 workers, a step up from August's gain of 169,000, according to a Reuters survey of economists. The unemployment rate is seen having held steady at a near five-year low of 7.3 percent.

The Labor Department will release its closely watched monthly employment report on Tuesday, more than two weeks later than originally scheduled because of the partial shutdown of the federal government earlier this month.

The data regularly sets the tone for global financial markets. Economists, however, said the shutdown has lessened its importance, with officials at the Federal Reserve likely to hold off any decision on scaling back the U.S. central bank's bond buying until the extent of the economic damage from the budget fight is clearer.

"They haven't had good information on the economy. We know there is an extra layer of drags due to the shutdown. The Fed is going to take a cautious approach," said Robert Dye, chief economist at Comerica in Dallas.

Fed officials will meet next week to discuss monetary policy, on October 29-30. They surprised markets last month by sticking to their $85 billion per month bond-buying pace, saying they wanted to see more evidence of a strong recovery.

Now, many economists think the Fed will hold off on scaling back economic stimulus until next year.

"We continue to believe that the first tapering will not be seen before March," said Michelle Girard, chief economist at RBS in Stamford, Connecticut.

Economists estimate the 16-day government shutdown shaved as much as 0.6 percentage point off annualized fourth-quarter gross domestic product, through reduced government output and damage to both consumer and business confidence.

They fear that lawmakers will engage in another bruising round early next year when Congress must agree on a budget to fund the government and once again raise the nation's borrowing limit.

HOPES FOR FALL IN UNEMPLOYMENT

If job growth accelerates as expected in September, it would top the average gain of 160,000 seen over the past six months.

"It's more than enough over time to keep the unemployment rate coming down," said Jim O'Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics in Valhalla, New York. "Overall, the economy is chugging along, but we have to see how the whole budget saga affects the trend."

The unemployment rate has declined 0.6 percentage point so far this year, though some of the decrease has been because people are dropping out of the labor force, partly due to frustration over dim job prospects.

The pattern of employment gains in September is expected to mirror the prior months, with the private sector creating all the jobs.

Government payrolls are expected to have been unchanged after increasing by 17,000 in August. Economists attributed some of the rise in August to difficulties adjusting for seasonal fluctuations at the start of the new school year.

Within the private sector, a rebound is expected in employment in the information sector, which dropped by 18,000 in August as the motion picture industry shed workers.

Little change is expected in construction payrolls, which have been weak in recent months, suggesting a leveling off in home building.

Manufacturing probably saw modest job gains, while retail employment is expected to have again advanced solidly.

Other details of the employment report are expected to be fairly encouraging, with average hourly earnings rising 0.2 percent in September. The length of the average workweek was seen steady at 34.5 hours.

Small Kentucky Town Makes High Tech Glass Amid Bucolic Farmland

The small farming town of Harrodsburg, Ky., is the home of Willow Glass, thin and flexible, soon to find it's way into the marketplace. It's made by Corning in the same plant that developed Gorilla Glass, the protective cover for Apple's iPhone, and now used by more than thirty other makers of personal devices.

AUDIE CORNISH, HOST:

From NPR News this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Audie Cornish.

MELISSA BLOCK, HOST:

I'm Melissa Block. And it's time now for All Tech Considered. This week, we visit the small farming town of Harrodsburg, Kentucky. It's the home of something called Willow Glass, glass that's super thin and flexible and soon find its way into the high-tech marketplace. It's made by Corning in the same plant that developed Gorilla Glass, that's the stuff Apple uses to make the protective cover for its iPhone.

NPR's Noah Adams visited the town and sent this report.

NOAH ADAMS, BYLINE: Harrodsburg is in central Kentucky, 8,000 people, surrounded by fields with stone fences, cattle, corn, and quite a bit of tobacco ready for harvest.

ZACK ISON: We just finished housing the crop today. We got done at lunchtime today, finally got it all in the barn.

ADAMS: How long you been farming tobacco?

ISON: My first crop that I raised, I was 15 years old. I'm 30 now.

ADAMS: This is Zack Ison. He always knew he was going to farm, but he understands about his friends from high school who went the other way.

ISON: The reason that a place like Corning comes to this area is to hire guys that have grown up on farms. They know how to work.

ADAMS: There's also now a Wausau Paper plant here and Hitachi has a big operation. Corning has been in town 60 years. They have 250 hourly union worker and now 100 engineers in Harrodsburg. Half of them have arrived from outside Kentucky.

I talked with two of the veteran engineers: Stephanie Sisk, who's from Georgia, Shawn Marcum from New York state.

STEPHANIE SISK: One of the things we love to do is we raise cattle on a 150-acre farm. And so, when particularly when our Asian colleagues come over we like to bring them over for supper because they're so - it such a different concept for them.

(LAUGHTER)

SEAN MARCUM: When you tell someone where I live and where I work, they're surprised that we have this high-tech manufacturing operation in the bluegrass area, that's known for Bourbon and horses and farmland.

UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Four thirty-five crate change requested.

ADAMS: Corning has production in 15 countries, but the folks here in Harrodsburg say they've got the go-to shop. And Gorilla Glass might prove that. Gorilla Glass is already protecting one and a half billion personal devices. It started with the iPhone early in 2007.

CASEY DUFFEY: Apple's a sexy operation. It's a great thing to be associated with that customer.

ADAMS: This is Casey Duffey. He's the plant manager at Harrodsburg. The word had come down from Corning, New York: Steve Jobs will not have that old, scratched-up plastic screen on the brand new Apple iPhone. Steve Jobs wants hard and silky-smooth. He wants glass. This was in January, the iPhone introduction was promised for late June. The iPhone did come out on time with the glass Corning had never made before.

CASEY DUFFEY: Now we didn't have the glass that ultimately we used for Apple ready. But we had compositions and expertise in this area that led us to believe that we could develop something pretty quickly.

ADAMS: We put on eye protection and go out into the Corning plant and up to the top floor to watch sand from West Virginia, start glowing and melting into glass.

TERRY OTT: Now, you start to get a little bit of feel for the temperatures that are involved when you stand closer. At this elevation, we're easily well over a thousand degrees.

ADAMS: Terry Ott is the engineering manager for the plant. He won't talk about what other minerals are added to the mix, except to say they're all on the periodic table.

UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Four thirty-seven (unintelligible).

ADAMS: This Corning Glass plant in Kentucky is always runs - all day and all night. The big work is done by robots. We watch a full sheet of new glass slide into a vertical work space where it will be scored, and the edges removed.

OTT: The robot will come up and grab it and pivot to separate it and pass it down the line.

ADAMS: That robot looks like a big yellow duck.

OTT: Yeah. And, you know, in this case it's very similar to what the robots that are classically used in the auto industry and everything else - and just adapted for our purpose.

ADAMS: We move to a different production line and Terry Ott shows me a large roll of just finished Willow Glass. It's glass about as thin as a dollar bill. Terry Ott, the top engineer, is uncharacteristically reverential.

OTT: So this is 200 to 100 microns thick, roughly a meter wide and basically spooled as one continuous ribbon. This is relatively revolutionary for a pristine untouched glass.

ADAMS: Willow Glass from Corning is soon to be on the market. And an engineer at Harrodsburg might well go home after work these days imagining interactive white boards in every classroom in the world, huge highway and airport signs, antibacterial countertops in hospitals, computer displays you can roll up like a poster. And in Kentucky, you get to think about this sort of thing, maybe out on the porch watching the cows come across the field at feeding time.

AKA's Javier Mendez fires back at Roy Nelson, looks ahead to Werdum, Jones

Among the biggest winners from Saturday night was Javier Mendez. The AKA head coach watched as his pair of star pupils dismantled their opponents back-to-back at UFC 166, beginning with Daniel Cormier's outclassing of Roy Nelson then culminating with UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez's bloody five-round beating of Junior dos Santos.

In the eyes of both Velasquez and Mendez, the champ's main event performance, one eerily reminiscent of his brutal UFC 155 victory over dos Santos, put a definitive stamp on this era's premiere heavyweight trilogy.

"For the most part, [Velasquez] did what him and I had discussed for months on end," a happy Mendez said on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour.

"He actually executed it to a tee. The only thing he didn't do is the part I mentioned about if we're going to change things, then we're going to change. Because there was an area there in the third round where we wanted him to separate when he knew dos Santos was ready to go, and Cain still stuck to the plan. He didn't separate long enough to add more punches."

While Velasquez later secured a fifth-round TKO finish as dos Santos' head collided with the cage floor and the Brazilian turtled up in exhaustion, several observers -- including UFC President Dana White -- believed the violent bout should've been stopped much sooner, either by referee Herb Dean, dos Santos' corner, or the cageside doctor.

"I would've been torn, to be honest with you. I might've stopped the fight," Mendez admitted when asked if he would've thrown in the towel had the two sides been switched.

"But I would've been like, ‘Man, I don't know, because my fighter is such a great warrior, he takes good shots, he still has a chance to win.' Man, it would've been a tough call."

Just as he had during the pair's second fight, Velasquez set the tone early and stifled dos Santos with relentless pressure from the outset. Yet in retrospect, one of the night's most indelible images may've come before the fists ever started flying.

Instead of standing idly by as dos Santos performed his customary pre-fight ritual of ‘throwing down of the gauntlet,' Velasquez stormed out to meet dos Santos and stand nose-to-nose in the center of the cage. Even Mendez admits, he didn't see that coming.

"I didn't have any idea," Mendez said. "But I did frame it like this. I said, ‘Look, this is what I want you to do. Remember, if he puts his fist in front of you, you do one better. Whatever he does, you do one better.' And while they were walking back and forth, Cain was looking down and JDS was mad-dogging him, and I was yelling at him, ‘Look back at him! Give it back to him!' So then, if you guys watch the tape, you can see all of a sudden Cain looks at him. From that point, Cain was going to do one better."

Following the fight, which tied Velasquez at two for most consecutive defenses of the UFC heavyweight title, White announced that Brazilian grappling savant Fabricio Werdum will be the next man in line for a shot at Velasquez's belt.

Mendez admits that he still believes dos Santos is the second-best heavyweight in the division, but acknowledges that Werdum presents his own challenges and is a formidable opponent in his own right.

"Fabricio's been getting better all the time," Mendez said. "He's got new tricks all the time, and he's got incredible -- he's probably got the best jiu-jitsu out of all the heavyweights in the world. He definitely can pose a different kind of threat for Cain, so Cain needs to be up for him like he was for Junior, otherwise we could be in trouble. He's definitely a worthy challenger."

As for the other half of Mendez's night, the AKA coach grades Daniel Cormier's performance against Nelson a perfect "A+."

Competing at the lowest weight of his career, 224 pounds, Cormier outclassed the much larger Nelson from pillar to post to claim an easy unanimous decision victory. Though afterward Nelson derided Cormier for a conservative approach, stating that the former two-time Olympian didn't engage throughout all three rounds.

"I don't know what fight he was at," Mendez scoffed. "When you get tattooed the way [Nelson] was, I mean, you shouldn't be complaining about ‘the guy didn't come to fight you.' He outhit you, he outstruck you, he outwrestled you, he outsmarted you. You didn't come to fight. He came to play checkers when [Cormier] came to play chess."

While Cormier may not have made an explosive statement against Nelson, his victory was unquestionably dominant and serves well to set up Cormier's entry into the UFC's light heavyweight division.

Cormier and Mendez both acknowledge that an immediate title shot against Jon Jones isn't a likely possibility considering the way the division is presently set up. However they're in agreement about what's next, as Cormier spoke about fighting Alexander Gustafsson at Saturday's post-fight press conference and Mendez echoed the thought on Monday's show.

Both men concur, a win against Gustafsson would prop Cormier up for a long-awaited grudge match against Jones.

"I don't think he'll win (against Jones) easily, and I'm not 100-percent sure he's going to win. I'm 100-percent sure that it's going to be a hell of a fight and it's going to be the biggest challenge of [Jones'] life. That I'm 100-percent sure of," Mendez said in closing.

"[Cormier's] going to meet an individual who's got the height and knows how to use it, knows how to use it really well. But what Jones is going to meet, he's going to meet a wrestler like he's never faced before. Someone of that level. Now Jones has got to be concerned about going on his back. He can't be thinking about, ‘Okay, it's going to be difficult to take me down.' Now he's 100-percent has a legit reason to be careful what he does, because he's going to be on his back whether he likes it or not."
