FILE - This May 2, 2013 file photo shows The Carnival Miracle docked in Juneau, Alaska. The nationâs largest cruise ship company will adopt technology from power plants and automobiles to reduce air pollution from the massive diesel engines powering its ships. In a tentative agreement reached Thursday with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Carnival Corp. will deploy scrubbers to reduce sulfur dioxide and filters to trap soot on as many as 32 ships over the next three years. At port, ships will plug into the electrical grid, rather than idle, to reduce pollution. (AP Photo/Becky Bohrer, File)

FILE - This Oct. 11, 2012 file photo shows a basket of medical supplies await storage in Brookhaven, Miss. The No. 1 question about President Barack Obamaâs health care law is whether consumers will be able to afford the coverage. Now the answer is coming in: The biggest study yet of premiums posted publicly by states finds that the sticker price will average about $270 a month if youâre a 21-year-old buying a mid-range policy. Thatâs before government tax credits that will act like a discount for most people, bringing down the cost based on their income. (AP Photo/Rogelio V. Solis, File)

FILE - In this Sept. 3, 2013 file photo, President Barack Obama speaks in the Cabinet Room of the White House in Washington. In declaring Syria a national security threat, the Obama administration is warning Americans as much about the leaders of Iran and North Korea as about President Bashar Assad. And Americaâs credibility with those countries will be an immediate casualty if fails to respond to Syria now, administration officials say in making their case for U.S. missile strikes. Itâs a connection thatâs not immediately clear to most Americans _ especially after the White House refused to send military support earlier in the Syrian war. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster, File)
