about whether anyone ever noticed something fishy going on at the Cleveland home where <a

held for more than nine years.</p> <p>While the Cleveland Police Department has denied getting reports of suspicious activity, neighbors tell CNN they called 911 on as many as three occasions because of concerns about what was going on at the home where three women were held captive for a decade, but nothing came of it. The department is now facing some serious questions about whether it missed clues in this case, and it is not the first time the department has been under fire.</p> <p>Police said they never had reason to suspect anything out of the ordinary was happening behind the boarded windows at the house on Seymour Street.<br/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510071608/http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/2013/05/09/neighbors-cleveland-police-missed-early-clues/" class="more-link">FULL POST</a></p> </div> <div class="cnnPostFooter"> <table> <tr> <td> <div class="cnn_mugshot"> </div> </td> <td valign="top" class="cnn_padb20 cnn_author_info"> <span class="cnnBlogFiledBy">Posted by</span> <span class="cnn_author"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510071608/http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/tag/jake-tapper/" rel="tag">Jake Tapper</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510071608/http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/tag/kim-berryman/" rel="tag">Kim Berryman</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510071608/http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/tag/shaneika-dabney/" rel="tag">Shaneika Dabney</a></span> <br/><span class="cnnBlogFiledBy cnn_categories">Filed under: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510071608/http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/category/national-lead/" title="View all posts in National Lead" rel="category tag">National Lead</a></span> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </div> <div class="cnn_clear"></div> <div class="cnn-large-embed "></div></div> </div> <div class="cnn_post_separator"><div class="cnn_gap"></div><div class="cnn_gap cnn_gap_right"></div></div>   <div class="cnnPostWrap cnn_wh1600_post_separator"> <div class="cnnWideImage"> <div data-video-height="406" data-video-width="640" id="cnnCVP2" class="cnn_video cnn_video_large" data-video-class="cnn_video_large" data-video-url="us/2013/05/09/lead-senator-elizabeth-warren-student-loans.cnn" data-ssid="cnn.com_blogs_jaketapper" data-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510071608oe_/http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2013/05/09/lead-senator-elizabeth-warren-student-loans.cnn" data-context="640x406_stop_embed_onsite" data-image-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510071608im_/http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/130509171124-lead-senator-elizabeth-warren-student-loans-00025021-horizontal-gallery.jpg" data-preset="blog_large" data-source="CNN" data-source-url="" data-video-headline="Senator wants discounts on student loans " data-actual-vid-height="391"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510071608/http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2013/05/09/lead-senator-elizabeth-warren-student-loans.cnn">Click to watch video</a></div> </div> <div class="post-3396 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-world-lead cnn_ie7_background_fix"> <div class="category-highlight cnn-cat-highlight-world-lead"><p>world lead</p></div> <div class="cnnLeftPost"> <div class="cnnFcIcon"></div> <div class="cnnBlogContentDateHead"> May 9th, 2013 </div> <div class="cnnGryTmeStmp">07:08 PM ET</div> <div class="cnn_share_links"> <div class="cnnOverlayMenuContainer"> <div id="cnnShare3396" class="cnnOverlayMenu"> <div class="cnnShareThisBox"> <div class="cnnShareBoxHeader"><div class="cnnShareBoxHeaderTL"></div><div class="cnnShareBoxHeaderTR"></div></div> <div class="cnnShareBoxContent"> <div class="cnnShareContent"> <div class="cnn_share_this_content"> <div class="cnnShareThisTitle"> <a href="javascript:cnnHideOverlay('cnnShare3396');"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510071608im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/img/2.0/global/icons/btn_close.gif" alt="Close" title="Close" width="12" height="12"/></a><span>Share this on:</span> </div> <div class="cnnShareThisItem"> <a class="cnnShareFacebook" title="Share Sen.

Warren proposes deep discounts for federal student loans</a></h2> <div class="cnnBlogContentPost"> <p class="cnn_first">On average, student loan borrowers end up carrying debt loads of $27,000. The interest rate on federal student loans is set to double this summer if Congress does not do anything about it. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts, has introduced her first piece of legislation - a bill that would give a steep, temporary discount, taking the interest rate from 3.4% to less than 1%. </p> <p>The U.S. government has been lending money at a rate of about 0.75% to financial institutions for years, said Warren. </p> <p>"We have students out there borrowing money to get an education, working hard. My view is if the American taxpayer is going to invest in those big, financial institutions by giving them a great deal on their interest rate, let's invest in those students by giving them the same deal," said Warren. </p> <p>But critics say comparing the student loan rate to the federal reserve discount rate is not quite apples and apples. The federal rate involves virtually no risk because it is short-term. </p> <p>"There is no risk in lending to the big financial institutions because they've got too-big-to-fail backing them up," said Warren. "That doesn't seem like the right approach to me."<br/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510071608/http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/2013/05/09/sen-warren-proposes-deep-discounts-for-federal-student-loans/" class="more-link">FULL POST</a></p> </div> <div class="cnnPostFooter"> <table> <tr> <td> <div class="cnn_mugshot"> </div> </td> <td valign="top" class="cnn_padb20 cnn_author_info"> <br/><span class="cnnBlogFiledBy cnn_categories">Filed under: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510071608/http://thelead.blogs.cnn.com/category/world-lead/" title="View all posts in World Lead" rel="category tag">World Lead</a></span> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </div> <div class="cnn_clear"></div> <div class="cnn-large-embed "></div></div> </div> <div class="cnn_post_separator"><div class="cnn_gap"></div><div class="cnn_gap cnn_gap_right"></div></div>   <div class="cnnPostWrap cnn_wh1600_post_separator"> <div class="cnnWideImage"> <div data-video-height="406" data-video-width="640" id="cnnCVP3" class="cnn_video cnn_video_large" data-video-class="cnn_video_large" data-video-url="us/2013/05/09/lead-benghazi-latest-dana-bash.cnn" data-ssid="cnn.com_blogs_jaketapper" data-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510071608oe_/http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2013/05/09/lead-benghazi-latest-dana-bash.cnn" data-context="640x406_stop_embed_onsite" data-image-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510071608im_/http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/130509180453-lead-benghazi-latest-dana-bash-00003121-horizontal-gallery.jpg" data-preset="blog_large" data-source="CNN" data-source-url="" data-video-headline="Benghazi: Congress wants answers" data-actual-vid-height="391"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510071608/http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2013/05/09/lead-benghazi-latest-dana-bash.cnn">Click to watch video</a></div> </div> <div class="post-3382 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-world-lead tag-dana-bash tag-jake-tapper tag-sherisse-pham cnn_ie7_background_fix"> <div class="category-highlight cnn-cat-highlight-world-lead"><p>world lead</p></div> <div class="cnnLeftPost"> <div class="cnnFcIcon"></div> <div class="cnnBlogContentDateHead"> May 9th, 2013 </div> <div class="cnnGryTmeStmp">06:27 PM ET</div> <div class="cnn_share_links"> <div class="cnnOverlayMenuContainer"> <div id="cnnShare3382" class="cnnOverlayMenu"> <div class="cnnShareThisBox"> <div class="cnnShareBoxHeader"><div class="cnnShareBoxHeaderTL"></div><div class="cnnShareBoxHeaderTR"></div></div> <div class="cnnShareBoxContent"> <div class="cnnShareContent"> <div class="cnn_share_this_content"> <div class="cnnShareThisTitle"> <a href="javascript:cnnHideOverlay('cnnShare3382');"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510071608im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/img/2.0/global/icons/btn_close.gif" alt="Close" title="Close" width="12" height="12"/></a><span>Share this on:</span> </div> <div class="cnnShareThisItem"> <a class="cnnShareFacebook" title="Share Benghazi: Congress wants answers, Kerry ready to give them on Facebook" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510071608/http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fthelead.blogs.cnn.com%2F2013%2F05%2F09%2Fbenghazi-congress-wants-answers-kerry-ready-to-give-them%2F" target="_blank">Facebook</a> </div> <div class="cnnShareThisItem"> <a class="cnnShareTwitter" title="Share Benghazi: Congress wants answers, Kerry ready to give them on Twitter" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510071608/https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=http%3A%2F%2Fthelead.blogs.cnn.com%2F2013%2F05%2F09%2Fbenghazi-congress-wants-answers-kerry-ready-to-give-them%2F&text=Benghazi:%20Congress%20wants%20answers,%20Kerry%20ready%20to%20give%20them&hashtags=cnn" target="_blank">Twitter</a> </div> <div class="cnnShareThisItem"> <a class="cnnShareDigg" title="Share Benghazi: Congress wants answers, Kerry ready to give them on Digg" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510071608/http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http%3A%2F%2Fthelead.blogs.cnn.com%2F2013%2F05%2F09%2Fbenghazi-congress-wants-answers-kerry-ready-to-give-them%2F" target="_blank">Digg</a> </div> <div class="cnnShareThisItem"> <a class="cnnShareDelicious" title="Share Benghazi: Congress wants answers, Kerry ready to give them on del.icio.us" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510071608/http://del.icio.us/post" onclick="window.open('https://web.archive.org/web/20130510071608/http://del.icio.us/post?v=4&partner=cnn&noui&jump=close&url=http%3A%2F%2Fthelead.blogs.cnn.com%2F2013%2F05%2F09%2Fbenghazi-congress-wants-answers-kerry-ready-to-give-them%2F','toolbar=no,width=700,height=400');

Schrute was many things: paper salesman, beet farmer, lovable dork. Though he came from Amish stock, Schrute showed more interest in martial arts than Bibles and buggies.</p> <p>But the man who played Schrute for nine years calls religion central to his life, and as Rainn Wilson transitions to life after “The Office,” his Baha’i faith is taking center stage.</p> <p>Wilson is on the forefront of a campaign called “Five Years Too Many” that calls for the release of seven Baha’i volunteer leaders who have been imprisoned in Iran for the past five years.</p> <p>“People need to know that this has happened and that this is happening and they don't,” Wilson said. “There are Baha'is rotting in jail on a 20-year sentence on trumped up charges simply because they have a certain set of faith beliefs that run against the theocracy in Iran."</p> <p>The move from actor to advocate for a world religion is a big shift for Wilson. After a failed movie career and a lot of soul searching he is at peace with his television success and knows that his career might have peaked with “The Office,” which ends next Thursday after nine years on the air.</p> <p>“It is probable that this was the high point in my career and the most awesome thing I'll ever be involved in,” Wilson told CNN’s Jake Tapper in an interview. “I just feel tremendous gratitude.”</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130510071608/http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2013/05/09/rainn-wilson-has-faith-in-life-after-the-office/">FULL POST</a></p> </div>
