BONN, Germany ? U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday the U.S. has "`serious concerns" about the conduct of Russia's parliamentary elections.
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's party saw its majority in Russia's parliament weaken sharply, according to preliminary election results released Monday.
Some opposition politicians and election monitors said that even a result of around 50 percent for Putin's United Russia party was inflated because of vote fraud. Their claims were backed by international observers, as Clinton noted during remarks in Bonn, Germany.
She said her opinion matters less than that of Russian voters, whom she says deserve the right to know their votes were fairly cast and counted.
Clinton said that international monitors have raised questions about possible ballot-stuffing and manipulation of voter lists "and other troubling practices."
She said Washington is also concerned that internal Russian election monitors were harassed, including by cyber attacks on their web sites.
"Russian voters deserve a full investigation of all credible reports of electoral fraud and manipulation and we hope in particular that then Russian authorities will take action" on reports that come forward, Clinton said.
She said "the Russian people, like people everywhere, deserve the right to have their voices heard and their votes counted. That means they deserve free, fair, transparent elections and leaders who are accountable to them."
She travels next to Lithuania for a meeting of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, which monitors election fraud.

BEIRUT (AP) ? Syria said Sunday that it is negotiating with the Arab League to allow observers into the country, as Arab leaders prepare to tighten sanctions slapped on the regime for its crackdown on an 8-month-old uprising.
Arab leaders have given Syria a new deadline ? Sunday ? to respond to the League peace plan, which calls for the admission of observers to prevent regime violence against protesters.
Syria's failure to meet a Nov. 25 deadline to allow observers saw the imposition of a raft of measures, including a ban on dealings with the country's central bank.
In addition to sanctions imposed by Western countries, the Arab measures are expected to deal significant damage to Syria's economy and may undercut the regime's authority.
Syria is now signaling that it might still be willing to comply with the Arab League's peace plan, and that its objections to the plan are simply a matter of details.
"Messages are being exchanged between Syria and the Arab League to reach a certain vision that would facilitate the mission of observers in Syria, while preserving Syrian interests and sovereignty," Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi told reporters in Damascus.
Damascus may simply be playing for time. Qatar's prime minister said Saturday during a meeting of Arab foreign ministers in the Gulf country's capital Doha that he expected Syrian envoys to sign an agreement on Sunday.
Sheik Hamad Bin Jassem Bin Jabr Al Thani said that failure to reach an agreement may lead to U.N. involvement in the Syrian crisis, although he did not spell out what that meant.
Arab ministers have continued to meet to work out enforcement of the existing sanctions package.
Some sanctions ? the central bank ban, a halt to Arab government funding of projects in Syria, and a freezing of Syrian government assets ? went into effect immediately.
Saturday's Arab ministerial meeting was intended to work out further details of the sanctions, including a list of 19 Syrian officials subject to a travel ban.
Among them are President Bashar Assad's younger brother Maher, who is believed to be in command of much of the crackdown, as well as Cabinet ministers, intelligence chiefs and security officers. The list does not include the president himself.
The punitive action is meant to pressure the Syrian regime to stop its crackdown on an 8-month-old uprising in which more than 4,000 people have been killed.
The revolt against Assad's rule began with peaceful protests in mid-March, triggering a brutal crackdown. The unrest has steadily become bloodier as defectors and some civilians take up arms, prompting the United Nations' human rights chief to refer to it this week as a civil war and urge the international community to protect Syrian civilians.

An otherwise nondescript binary star system in the Whirlpool Galaxy has brought astronomers tantalizingly close to their goal of observing a star just before it goes supernova.
The study, submitted in a paper to the Astrophysical Journal, provides the latest result from an Ohio State University galaxy survey underway with the Large Binocular Telescope, located in Arizona.
In the first survey of its kind, the researchers have been scanning 25 nearby galaxies for stars that brighten and dim in unusual ways, in order to catch a few that are about to meet their end. In the three years since the study began, this particular unnamed binary system in the Whirlpool Galaxy was the first among the stars they've cataloged to produce a supernova.
The astronomers were trying to find out if there are patterns of brightening or dimming that herald the end of a star's life. Instead, they saw one star in this binary system dim noticeably before the other one exploded in a supernova during the summer of 2011.
Though they're still sorting through the data, it's likely that they didn't get any direct observations of the star that exploded ? only its much brighter partner.
Yet, principal investigator Christopher Kochanek, professor of astronomy at Ohio State and the Ohio Eminent Scholar in Observational Cosmology, does not regard this first result as a disappointment. Rather, it's a proof of concept.
"Our underlying goal is to look for any kind of signature behavior that will enable us to identify stars before they explode," he said. "It's a speculative goal at this point, but at least now we know that it's possible."
"Maybe stars give off a clear signal of impending doom, maybe they don't," said study co-author Krzystof Stanek, professor of astronomy at Ohio State, "But we'll learn something new about dying stars no matter the outcome."
Postdoctoral researcher Dorota Szczygiel, who led the study of this supernova, explained why the galaxy survey is important.
"The odds are extremely low that we would just happen to be observing a star for several years before it went supernova. We would have to be extremely lucky," she said.
"With this galaxy survey, we're making our own luck. We're studying all the variable stars in 25 galaxies, so that when one of them happens go supernova, we've already compiled data on it." The supernova, labeled 2011dh, was first detected on May 31 and is still visible in telescopes. It originated from a binary star system in the Whirlpool Galaxy ? also known as M51, one of the galaxies that the Ohio State astronomers have been observing for three years.
The system is believed to have contained one very bright blue star and one even brighter red star. From what the astronomers can tell, it's likely that the red star is the one that dimmed over the three years, before the blue star initiated the supernova.
When the Ohio State researchers reviewed the Large Binocular Telescope data as well as Hubble Space Telescope images of M51, they saw that the red star had dimmed by about 10 percent over three years, at a pace of three percent per year.
Szczygiel believes that the red star likely survived its partner's supernova.
"After the light from the explosion fades away, we should be able to see the companion that did not explode," she said.
As astronomers gather data from more supernovae ? Kochanek speculates that as many as one per year could emerge from their data set ? they could assemble a kind of litmus test to predict whether a particular star is near death. Whether it's going to spawn a supernova or shrink into a black hole, there may be particular signals visible on the surface, and this study has shown that those signals are detectable.
The team won't be watching our sun for any changes, however. At less than 10 percent of the mass of the star in supernova 2011dh, our star will most likely meet a very boring end.
"There'll be no supernova for our sun ? it'll just fizzle out," Kochanek said. "But that's okay ? you don't want to live around an exciting star."

NEW YORK (AP) ? A rally that drove major stock indexes up 7 percent this week stalled Thursday. Stock indexes ended slightly lower, a day after the market posted its biggest gain in two and a half years.
Goldman Sachs and other banks, the previous day's star-performers, gave up some of their gains. Costco, Nordstrom and other retailers rose after reporting stronger sales for November.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 25.65 points, or 0.2 percent, to close at 12,020.03. Travelers Cos. Inc. lost 2.2 percent, the biggest drop of the Dow's 30 stocks. Boeing Co. had the biggest gain, 3.3 percent.
The Dow soared 490 points Wednesday, its seventh-best gain on record, on news that central banks around the world slashed borrowing costs for banks in order to shore up the European financial system and prevent the region's debt crisis from getting worse.
If a major European bank were to fail or if one or more countries defaulted, investors fear it could result in a freeze-up in global lending markets like the one that occurred in 2008 when Lehman Brothers collapsed.
Another rise in applications for weekly unemployment benefits dampened the mood Thursday. The Labor Department said initial applications rose to 402,000 last week, the second weekly increase in a row. The figures didn't change expectations for the government's monthly labor report, which comes out Friday. Economists forecast that the unemployment rate will remain at 9 percent.
The S&P 500 index slipped 2.37, or 0.2 percent, to 1,244.59. The Nasdaq inched up 5.86, or 0.2 percent, to 2,626.
Investors often turn cautious following giant leaps, said Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ. The Dow shot up 813 points in the first three days of the week as fears ebbed that Europe's debt crisis would turn into a global panic. Another trigger for the rally that started Monday was news that a record number of shoppers went to stores over the Thanksgiving weekend.
"It's almost like rooting for a football team that won by a very big score," Stovall said. The next day, people are likely wondering whether the big victory was a one-off event or the start of a lasting trend.
"Lately, it seems like nothing lasts that long," Stovall said. News out of Europe has sent stocks swinging from large gains to deep losses. One week ago, the S&P 500 was down 7.9 percent for the year. The index is now within 13 points of breaking even.
Daily moves in the S&P 500 index have been three times more volatile in the past 13 weeks compared with the long-term average, Stovall said. Since 2000, the S&P 500 index moved up or down by 2 percent an average of 14 days every three months. Over the past 13 weeks, that's happened 45 times.
Traders took little encouragement Thursday from a better manufacturing report. The Institute for Supply Management said that manufacturing grew last month at the fastest pace since June.
The euro inched higher against the dollar as investors became less fearful about Europe's financial problems. Borrowing rates for France and Spain eased after both countries had successful auctions of new debt.
In corporate news:
? Macy's Inc., Costco Wholesale Corp., Limited Brands Inc. and other retailers reported sales that surpassed Wall Street estimates. Nordstrom Inc. jumped 4 percent. Costco rose 2.1 percent.
? Kohl's Corp. slumped 6.4 percent. The department store chain reported that a key revenue measure dropped sharply in November and fell far below Wall Street forecasts. Sales at stores open at least a year fell 6.2 percent; analysts had expected an increase.
? Barnes & Noble dropped 16 percent after the bookseller posted a third-quarter loss instead of the slight profit analysts had expected. Sales also fell below analysts' estimates.
? Finisar Corp. lost 12 percent after the maker of fiber-optics components reported revenue that was lower than analysts were expecting.

Not all invasive species must be fought back using electrified barriers, natural enemies imported from afar, campaigns to turn them into food, or other, often pricey means.
Instead, it appears that in some unusual cases organisms that have flourished unwanted outside their native range simply retreat on their own.
Researchers in New Zealand have watched this happen to colonies of Argentine ants, Linepithema humile, a non-native species first spotted in the country in 1990. [ Gallery: Invasive Species ]
A natural invader
These ants have traits that appear to set them up for success as an invasive, including an omnivorous diet, a lack of pickiness about nesting sites, a lack of conflict amongst themselves, a high reproductive capacity thanks to multiple queens in a colony, and an affinity for living near humans, according to Meghan Cooling, a study researcher and graduate student at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand.
The Argentine ants live at high densities that allow them to push out native ant species, but unlike the invasive fire ants in the United States, they don't sting, according to Cooling.
"What makes them so annoying is the extremely high population densities they can reach, so that they just take over a garden or yard and make sitting outside very unenjoyable. They also invade people's homes and cupboards in search of food, particularly sweet things," Cooling wrote in an email to LiveScience. "They can be a serious problem for agriculture as well, because they tend and protect hemipteran pests [also called true bugs], such as aphids and scales insects, which can lead to outbreaks of these pests."
In 2002, the cost of controlling them was projected to climb to roughly $52 million per year once the ants had established themselves throughout their predicted range.
Invasive species are frequently the targets of elaborate and sometimes expensive efforts to eradicate them, or at least reduce their numbers. For example, an electrified barrier has been installed to keep Asian carp out of the Great Lakes; researchers are turning to European weevils to control invasive garlic mustard in North America; and lionfish in the Caribbean, likely aquarium escapees, are the subject of a cookbook.
Vanishing ants
However, in 2011, Cooling and her colleagues checked on 150 locations where ant populations were spotted between 1990 and 2008. They found that 60 of these had vanished and more than 30 of the remaining sites had only small, low-density populations remaining, according to Cooling.
So why appear to thrive, then disappear? Argentine ant populations have shown low genetic diversity before, so the researchers suggest that inbreeding may have left them vulnerable to disease.
Other invasive populations, like the yellow crazy ant in the Seychelles and the giant African land snail, have declined or collapsed, however, few studies have documented this phenomenon, according to Cooling.
In places where Argentine ants lived in high density, the researchers found few, if any, other ant species. But other species were abundant around small, remnant Argentine ant populations. It appears that other ant communities are recovering after large populations of Argentine ants decline, the researchers write in an article published Nov. 29 in the journal Biology Letters.
An invasive's future
Looking at climate in these regions, they found that the Argentine ants seemed to last longer in regions with higher temperatures. While work overseas has indicated that rainfall can affect the ants' persistence, the relationship in New Zealand remains unclear, according to Cooling.
Climate change appears to give the ants something of a reprieve. From projections created by climate modeling, the researchers found ant populations in part of the country could be expected to stick around a few years longer before disappearing.?
"Given the local presence of this invasive species for short durations of 10?20 years, and the apparent recovery of the resident communities after their collapse, it seems that the long-term ecological or evolutionary effects of Argentine ants in New Zealand may not be as dire as first feared," they write.

The Mercedes-Benz Attention Assist system will flash a warning if a motorist appears to be ready to doze off.
By Paul A. Eisenstein, the Detroit Bureau
If you?ve ever felt yourself nodding off when you?ve spent a little too much time behind the wheel you?re not alone. According to a recent study by the AAA Foundation more than two in five drivers admit they?ve fallen asleep, even for a moment, when driving.
While most motorists now recognize the dangers of drunk driving, AAA officials fear that there?s a more casual attitude when it comes to drowsy driving.? But new technology is designed to not only alert drivers who have begun to drift off while behind the wheel but also help them avoid an accident.
Calling drowsy driving a ?serious concern,? Ford Motor Co.?s global product chief Derrick Kuzak recently revealed that the maker?s updated 2013 Lincoln MKS sedan will be able to tell when a driver is distracted or, worse, beginning to doze.? The luxury model?s Lane Keeping System will initially sound an alert if the vehicle drifts out of its lane.? If necessary, it will then add a bit of torque to the steering wheel to gently nudge the MKS back into its lane.
If the system senses that the driver is repeatedly drifting it assumes it?s time for a break and will flash a coffee cup-shaped warning to alert the driver to stop an rest.
Lincoln?s new system ? which will also be available on the 2013 MKT crossover ? is the latest in an array of new technologies designed to keep track of drivers and warn them when they may be over-tired.? In some of its models, Lexus uses a special camera designed to watch head movements, which can provide the telltale first signs of drowsy driving.? Mercedes-Benz, meanwhile, tracks driver inputs through the steering wheel?with its Attention Assist system and will also flash a warning if a motorists appears to be ready to doze off.
The problem is not insignificant.? Though 96% of those surveyed by AAA said that drowsy driving is unacceptable, nearly one in three, or 32%, admitted doing it in just the past month, and one in 10 acknowledged actually falling asleep behind the wheel at some point during the previous year.
?Although the vast majority of drivers recognize the serious threat of drowsy driving, a ?do as I say, not as I do? attitude exists when getting behind the wheel. Drowsy driving kills, just as sure as drunk, drugged and distracted driving does,? AAA Foundation president and CEO Peter Kissinger said in a foundation news release. ?Drivers have a tendency to underestimate the impact being tired has on their driving ability, which puts themselves and others at risk.?
The safety organization suggests there are a number of signs to watch for: including ??difficulty keeping your eyes open and focused; difficulty keeping your head up; drifting from your lane; hitting rumble strips; missing traffic signs or driving past your exit; yawning repeatedly and rubbing your eyes; or feeling irritable and restless.
Safety experts suggest that it?s a good idea to travel when you?d normally be awake and take an overnight break rather than pressing on during a long trip.? Other tips to minimize drowsy driving include:
But be aware that caffeine takes about a half hour to enter the bloodstream so don?t simply grab a soft drink or energy drink at the rest stop and pull back on the road.? Give it some time to take effect before driving again.

TORONTO (Reuters) ? Canada's competition regulator has "serious concerns" about a C$3.8 billion ($3.7 billion) proposal to take over TMX Group, a deal that would bring most of the country's financial exchanges under one roof.
Maple Group's bid would unite the Toronto Stock Exchange and the TSX Venture Exchange for small-cap stocks with their largest competitor, Alpha Group, a so-called alternative trading system. Maple is also seeking to put the exchanges under the same umbrella as CDS, which clears and settles all trades in Canada.
The Competition Bureau's main concerns are the impact the proposal would have on equities trading as well as clearing and settlement services. The news pushed TMX shares down 2.8 percent by midday on Wednesday.
A source close to the deal said the regulator's concerns did not mean the merger plan was dead. Still TMX and Maple - a consortium of 13 Canadian financial institutions - would have to make concessions for the watchdog to bless the deal.
"This is not a deal breaker," said the source, who was not authorized to speak on the record. "But it tilts the scales against the deal in a way it did not a month ago."
The TMX deal is one of a wave of proposed acquisitions in the exchange industry as bourses seek to gain scale in a bid to reduce costs. Competition concerns have emerged as a hurdle in other jurisdictions as well.
Earlier this month, Deutsche Boerse and NYSE Euronext offered to sell some businesses and give rivals access to a major derivatives clearing house to win support for their $9 billion combination.
Possible concessions the Competition Bureau might exact from Maple could revolve around greater powers to the Ontario Securities Commission to regulate. The body may also place controls on trading fees to ease concerns about pricing.
That said, Maple has already said that regulatory approval of its acquisition of Alpha and CDS is a necessary condition for the overall takeover deal, which it argues will benefit Canada's capital markets.
In addition to federal approval, the C$50-a-share bid needs the blessing of the powerful securities commissions of Quebec and Ontario, as well as two other provincial watchdogs.
The Competition Bureau's concerns come just a day ahead of what are shaping up to be intense public hearings before the country's most powerful provincial regulator, the Ontario Securities Commission.
The competition watchdog's concerns came as a surprise to the consortium. Maple had said only last week that it was confident the deal would win approval after the first public hearings, staged by regulators in Quebec.
According to the TMX-Maple statement, Competition Commissioner Melanie Aitken has not reached a final conclusion. Changes to the regulatory regime, as well as certain commitments by the parties involved or other remedial measures, might sway her opinion, the two sides said.
Maple and TMX said they intend to keep working closely with authorities to address the commissioner's concerns.
DEAL IN "SOME JEOPARDY"
The main sticking point lies in the plan to unite TMX's exchanges with Alpha, Canada's biggest alternative trading system. Together that would give TMX-Maple control of more than 80 percent of all Canadian stock trading.
"I interpret the commissioner's comment about 'equities trading,' as being broad and not just Alpha-related," said Chris Damas, an independent analyst and long-time TMX shareholder.
Damas, who recently sold his TMX shares partly in anticipation of objections that regulators might raise, said he expects the bureau to review the matter for at least another 30 days.
"This puts this deal is some jeopardy," he said. "It's a cryptic comment. It's not a judgment."
Another big concern centers on Maple's plan to bring into its fold the country's non-profit national clearing and settlement shop, the Canadian Depository for Securities. Critics says that would lead the monopoly control over fees.
"It is very important that the clearing mechanism be open and accessible on a competitive price basis to all brokers. And to my mind that's the choke point - that's the one they're concerned about," said Thomas Caldwell, a TMX shareholder and a one-time prominent opponent of the Maple bid.
Maple has indicated it would extend its offer beyond the January 31 deadline if it has not received all regulatory approvals by then.
Shares of TMX were down C$1.27 at C$43.48 in afternoon trading on Wednesday. Early trading in TMX's stock and many others was hit by technical problems at the Toronto Stock Exchange. The glitch was unrelated to developments surrounding the acquisition.
