The director of a French magazine says his publication is using freedom of expression to comment on the news in a satirical way. And the news that the magazine is commenting on involves the Islamic religion, its prophet Muhammad and an anti-Islam film that led violent protests last week. The French publication is a humor magazine, it has a reputation for being a little outrageous, and it`s using cartoons to comment on the last week`s news. The director says, "The Humorous" aimed at the film, which he calls grotesque. But the cartoons include drawings of a figure who resembles the Prophet Muhammad, and for many Muslims any picture of Muhammad is very offensive, in some Arab countries it would be illegal. It`s not in France. As of Wednesday, there weren`t any reports of violence related to the cartoons, but France was planning to close its embassies in some nations later in the week just in case. The journalists who work at the magazine said they are not trying to provoke anger or violence, the goal is to laugh. One French official said, he supports his country`s freedom of press, but he also said, there is a question of responsibility.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Is this legit? Atlantis was the last space shuttle built by NASA.

Nope. Atlantis flew the final space shuttle mission, but Endeavour was the last shuttle built by NASA.

AZUZ: The last shuttle is making its last journey this week, but not in the space. NASA ended the space shuttle program last year, and the remaining vehicles are flying off in the retirement. Oh actually they are more like hitching a ride. This is Endeavour piggybacking on a 747 jet. Starting from Florida to Los Angeles where it will become a museum, the other shuttles are going to be on display as well. Endeavour is making some stops, as it travels across the country. Yesterday it touched down in Houston. NASA says, these stops are a good chance for more people to see the shuttle and say good bye. Endeavour is said to make its final landing in L.A. on Friday.

Here is something that hadn`t happened in more than a week. Chicago students heading in the school. Classes have been canceled since teachers went on strike, that strike was suspended on Tuesday evening, in a proposed deal between the teachers and school officials both sides got some victories.

KYUNG LAH, cnn CORRESPONDENT: This is very much seen as a bit of a give and take. But teachers overwhelmingly are telling us that they are simply relived that it is over, after seven days on the picket line, they are glad to get back to the classroom, and here is what one teacher told us shortly after that vote came down.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Everybody is happy to go back to work, get with the kids, it`s been long enough, so I think we`ve accomplished what we wanted to.

A few people are not happy, but you know, no matter what you do, nobody is going to be completely happy, so I think we`ve done the best we could.
