OPEC has put up a decision on cutting oil production until December 17th. OPEC members met in Cairo to discuss falling oil prices and whether members were complying with a 1.5-million-barrel per day output cut announced in October.

A fight between two women at a Toys "R" Us checkout5 in Palm Desert, California ended with two men dead. Police say the two men intervened to break up the fight. They began arguing then pulled out their guns and shot one another. No one else was hurt. Police say the argument was not over a toy.
And the crew of the space shuttle Endeavor is waiting on their official go-ahead from mission control to head home. The shuttle is due back on earth on Sunday but nasty weather in the Southeast may delay its return. Endeavore's astronauts have enough supplies to last until Tuesday if the weather doesn't cooperate. During their 16-day mission, Endeavor delivered extra bathroom, kitchen and bedrooms and a new waste recycling system to the International Space Station.
