Obama ponders life on a Republican-dominated Capitol Hill. Police find the Philadelphia kidnapping victim. And a California city taxes your sweet tooth. It's Thursday and here are the 5 things to know for your New Day 1. OBAMA POLITICS The aftermath: President Obama pledged to push ahead with his agenda in the aftermath of a midterm election that saw the Democrats lose control of the Senate. "To those of you who voted, I hear you," Obama said. To those who didn't vote, "I hear you too." During a 90-minute news conference yesterday, the president didn't do much to suggest that his White House would work differently now that Republicans hold at least 52 seats in the Senate and their biggest majority in the House since World War II. Two words: veto pen. 2. PHILADELPHIA ABDUCTION Suspect arrested: A 22-year-old woman was found alive, three days after her abduction that was captured on a surveillance video in Philadelphia sparked an all-out manhunt. Carlesha Freeland-Gaither was found southwest of Baltimore in Jessup, Maryland, the FBI said. The suspect has been taken into custody and identified by authorities as 37-year-old Delven Barnes. Investigators aren't sure whether Freeland-Gaither knew her abductor, although there's no indication that she did, police said earlier. 3. NEGRO IS OKAY Another N-word: It's not the worst N-word, but it still caught people's attention. A newly published U.S. Army regulation says a service member can be referred to as a "Negro" when describing "black or African American" personnel. The Army confirmed the language is contained in the October 22 edition of "Army Command Policy," but it's uncertain when it was added. It might have been a long time ago. An Army spokesman says the use of the word comes from an outdated section, is currently under review, and will be updated shortly. 4.

SODA TAX The price of sweetness: Satisfying your sweet tooth in in Berkeley, California, is about to get more expensive - about a penny an once more. Three-quarters of voters in the city approved a 1-cent-an-ounce tax on sugary sodas and energy drinks, according to unofficial results released by local officials. That adds about 12 cents to the price of a can of soda and about 68 cents to a two liter bottle. The measure exempts 100% juice drinks, chocolate milk and diet sodas. Supporters point to the links between the drinks and diabetes, heart disease and tooth decay. Source: http://newday.blogs.cnn.com/
