Rome prepares for beatification of John Paul II
More than one million people are expected in Rome this weekend for the beatification of Pope John Paul II, the biggest event in Vatican City since his death six years ago.
Hundreds of thousands of Catholic faithful will gather in St. Peter's Square to witness the ceremony, the penultimate step towards John Paul II's sainthood.
Beatification means the candidate can be referred to as "blessed," and that one miracle has been confirmed in his or her name, according to CNN's John L. Allen, Jr. Another miracle is required for canonization, the formal act of declaring someone a saint.
While normally a person cannot become a saint until 50 years after their death, John Paul II was put on a fast track to sainthood by the current Pope Benedict XVI, who waived the normal five-year waiting period to begin the beatification process.
While Rome is used to hosting big crowds, there is something special about this weekend's celebration to commemorate the late pope's road to sainthood, according to the city's mayor....

Seriously though, if you don't think asexual representation is important, you need to get educated, because it is really hard to live in a sex-centric culture and not be interested in sex.
I have seen so many posts about finding out about asexuality after joining tumblr and you know what word almost all over them have in common? Broken.
And that's fucked up.
Trying to sleep in summer with the covers on

Southampton will look to preserve the Premier League's best defensive record on Saturday against a Fulham side fresh from two wonder goals.
Mauricio Pochettino's men have the meanest rearguard in the top flight, having conceded just the three times so far, but Martin Jol's side are likely to test that to limit following their goalscoring exploits last time out.
The London side – who have only three wins in the new campaign – registered a superb 4-1 triumph over Crystal Palace on Monday, which included two stunning strikes from Pajtim Kasami and Steve Sidwell.
Kasami struck an early goal-of-the-season contender when he controlled the ball on his chest before smashing a long-distance effort into the top corner of the net to equalise, before Sidwell then put his team in front with another sensational volley.
Less spectacular efforts from Dimitar Berbatov and Philippe Senderos comfortably sealed the three points for Jol's men, who must now look to build on that result as they seek a third win on the bounce.
They are likely to face a significantly tougher test at St Mary's, with Southampton on a dominant run of home form that has seen them stay unbeaten in front of their own fans in the new campaign.
Fulham have never won at the south-coast venue either, with their last victory away from home against Southampton coming at The Dell when they won 1-0 in September 1998.
Pochettino must decide whether to hand a return to the starting XI to Rickie Lambert.
The 31-year-old, who earned his England international debut in August, was benched against Manchester United last weekend but is vying to assume his position up front from the start on Saturday.
Pochettino will also potentially need to tinker with his midfield, with Northern Ireland international Steven Davis facing a last fitness test after taking a knock in training on Wednesday.
Fulham boss Jol has his own concerns, and he could be without defender Brede Hangeland and striker Bryan Ruiz, who will face late assessments over leg and back problems respectively.

I was concerned about the property after reading reviews & was
pleasantly pleased with everything about the hotel. Noise was not an
issue as so many reviewers said. But it is a city so there will be some.
We closed our windows at night & slept well. Great location. Buses
out front. IHop across the street. Staff went out of their way to help
whenever approached. I would stay here again. - Anonymous
We stayed in an ocean view suite on the 21st floor. We actually had a view of the ocean and the mountains from our room which was really nice. The rooms were updated and very clean and the staff was very helpful. The location was convenient to everything!!! We were a block away from the beach, and the Beach walk shopping area was right downstairs from the hotel. There was plenty to do in the area and we did not need a car. I would definitely stay here again. - Anonymous
The room was quiet, bed comfortable.
The staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was always cleaned well.
The location was very convinent, bus service and walking friendly. The breakfast were good (coffee excellent). The lobby was very nice for having coffee and reading the AM paper. Again it was nice and quiet with wee view of ocean, Diamond head and city. Could leave the sliding door open all night. - Anonymous

Staff were extremely nice and helpful. We needed to stay over an

The Great White reviews
Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for The Great White, a roller coaster at SeaWorld San Antonio. (The minimum height to ride is 54 inches.)
Written by Neil Preece
The Great White is a 'hanging' coaster where you can lose your shoes if they aren't tied on tight. Great speed and two large loops and many twists and turns. The wait is usually not long and worth it at any time. It is loacted at the back of the of the park near the games center.max queue time is around 30 mins.
Readers' rating:
A good coaster. I thought Goliath @ SF Fiesta Texas & Batman @ SF Over Texas were better. - Will Gibson
Your typical Batman the Ride w/a different name. Still good but a bit weird calling it a different name. - Adrienne McDonald

Argentina to restart soy exports as farmers forced to sell
Grains powerhouse Argentina will jump-start soy exports over the weeks ahead as farmers, who have hoarded beans to protect themselves from the weakening peso and galloping inflation, are forced to sell by the time harvesting starts in March.
The country is the world's No. 3 soybean exporter and top supplier of soymeal at a time of booming Chinese demand.
A wobbly currency and fast-rising consumer prices have prompted growers to save in soybeans rather than in pesos, drying up Argentine supply and providing a boon to U.S. exporters.
The official exchange rate is 18.5 percent weaker this month while the black market peso has slumped 22.5 percent. The Rosario soy market has virtually shut down in recent weeks as growers pile up beans on their farms to protect themselves from inflation fueled in part by the anemic peso.
With the March-May soy harvesting season approaching, farmers say they will be forced to re-start selling.
"You have structural expenses on any farm, so at some point you just have to sell your reserves," said Alexis de Noailles, a grower in the bread-basket province of Buenos Aires.
"Most of us pay income taxes around March, for example, and they cannot be paid in soybeans," he said. "And you wouldn't want to wait until the last minute to sell your soybeans because there is a lot of soy in the world this year and the closer we get to March the lower prices are likely to be."
A resumption of farmer selling is expected once the harvest begins, but has not yet been fully priced into the futures market, said Rich Nelson, chief strategist with agricultural trade consultancy Allendale Inc.
March futures on the Chicago Board of Trade may fall to $12.50 a bushel by mid-February, about 17 cents below levels today, and July futures may sink to $11.75 a bushel by the peak of harvest, down about 65 cents from today, as export volumes from both Argentina and Brazil increase, he said.
Argentina's upcoming soy crop is seen at 53.0 million tonnes, up from 48.5 million in the previous season, according to the Buenos Aires Grains Exchange.
"The local soybean market will come back to life when the harvest starts coming in. Farmers will need to sell 20 percent of their 2014 soy crop to pay production costs that cannot be bartered for in beans," said farm consultant Pablo Adreani.
"You will see at least 11 million tonnes of new soybeans hit the market between now and May," he said.
Over the months ahead big harvests are also expected in Brazil (89.0 million tonnes) and Paraguay (9.4 million), according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and private analysts. Demand is driven by China, where beans are crushed into cattle feed for the country's fast-growing beef industry.

Aaron Ramsey urges Arsenal to attack at the San Siro
Monday 13 February 2012
Aaron Ramsey has urged Arsenal to go for goals as they seek to maintain their 100 per cent record at the San Siro in Wednesday night's Champions League clash with AC Milan.
The Gunners travel to Italy tomorrow ahead of the first leg of their mouthwatering last-16 showdown with the Italian champions, who also went top of Serie A at the weekend.
Manager Arsene Wenger could be forgiven for playing it safe on Wednesday night considering his own side's Jekyll-and-Hyde performances this season.
But Arsenal famously won on their two previous visits to the San Siro and midfielder Ramsey believes away goals could prove crucial to the outcome of the tie.
He told Arsenal TV Online: "If we can go there and get a few goals and then come back to the Emirates then that's going to be a fantastic result for us.
"Hopefully, we can get a couple of goals and keep them out as well."
The Gunners have certainly not struggled to find the net in the past couple of weeks, netting 11 times in four matches to bounce back from a mini-slump.
The turnaround has coincided with the return of the legendary Thierry Henry for a loan spell which expires after Wednesday night's game.
The 34-year-old has scored three goals - two of them winners - since answering an SOS from manager Arsene Wenger last month.
Henry also bagged a brace on the Gunners' first ever visit to the San Siro, 2003's iconic 5-1 thrashing of Inter Milan.
But the Frenchman was coy on whether he was dreaming of signing off in style with another goal there on Wednesday.
"I have not thought about it," he said.
"I just want to help Arsenal on the night. I am an Arsenal player for one more game.
"Milan is Milan. It is another type of game and it is never easy to win away in the Champions League."
Henry, who said he would always be around to answer Arsenal's call, admitted the impact of his second coming would not sink in until he returns to New York Red Bulls.
He added: "I will look back on it afterwards and see what happened. It has all been kind of unreal."
Ramsey had no doubt about the difference Henry had made.
"It's been a fantastic period for him coming back to the club that he supports and has done so much for," he said.
"It's a great story for him so far."
Ramsey admitted his own goalscoring exploits had not lived up to expectations after netting for just the third time this season in Saturday's 2-1 Barclays Premier League victory at Sunderland.
The 21-year-old, who equalised at the Stadium of Light before fellow substitute Henry snatched the winner, said: "I set myself targets at the beginning of the season which I haven't quite achieved yet.
"But there are still a few games left and hopefully I can get a few more now."
Ramsey's strike helped move Arsenal above Chelsea into fourth place on goals scored as the race to qualify for next season's Champions League took another dramatic twist.
Ramsey said: "It's nice to be level on points in fourth place and back in a Champions League place, where we want to be.
"We're going to take each game as it comes.
"Now we'll concentrate on the big game on Wednesday."
Indeed, league concerns are very much on the back burner for almost a fortnight, with the Milan clash followed by Saturday's FA Cup fifth-round tie at Sunderland.
Ramsey said: "We have a few more big games this week now.
"Milan's the first and hopefully we can go there and get a really good result and then it's all wide open."

Differentiated InstructionMore Related Discussions
I have been teaching for about 9 years, and every year I try to do a little bit more differentiation. This year I am ramping up my DI but it's certainly a lot of work, trying to analyze students' individual learning styles, multiple intelligences, etc. and then create different tiers of instruction and assignments. I am curious to hear from the group at Edutopia if anyone has suggestions and advice for creating a completely differentiated classroom, along with the management and preparation that goes with it.
Comments (137 Replies)Sign in or register to postSubscribe to comments via RSS
Rebecca - You talked about how some students finish work quickly and then you try to give them more work or when you give students work they may ask why it is different from someone elses. This year I created a packet for students. Each student had a different packet based on their skill. I tried to give them the same type of work but change the difficulty by creating my own activity or whiting out and then filling in the problems. I had a few students always asking to get their packet to work on it. A colleague of mine has also set up group activities structured like a web quest. She assigns students different tasks for the group project. The more challenging jobs are given to the more capable students in the group. This way everyone in the group is learning and everyone is working toward the same goal.
Kari - Wow, I had never heard of this before. What grade do you teach? Do your students like it?
Being able to differentiate seems to be so helpful but also so time consuming. I have about 30% of my second grade class with some type of learning disability typically. Many of my assignments do need to be adapted for these students. Sometimes, I must admit, the adaptation is just a shortened assignment. Each year I am trying to truly adapt. My struggle is when I change the end project, I have to spend so much time explaining what I want (since I try not to just have different worksheets). does anyone have any good resource books?
You have to change up the groups depending on the lesson your teaching. Try not to keep your groups set in stone because they should be ever changing.Differentiating is not easy.
Both the "what and how" of differentiated instruction instruction are crucial to successful implementation of DI in the classroom; however, the "how" must be teacher-directed and make pedagogical sense. Check out Differentiated Instruction-the What and How
to read this important dialogue between DI authors Mark Pennington and Rick Wormeli.
Perhaps a return to the first DI environment. Let's return to the one room school house, grades 1 - 12 in one room, with the teacher running non-stop trying to attend to every student's needs individually. We have now gone full circle, AGAIN...
The only real objection to ability grouping is the parent whose child is not in the high group. Other than that, it is the only effective way to teach.
Nothing wrong with flexible ability grouping, per se. However, once teachers examine student diagnostic data (See http://penningtonpublishing.com/assessments.php for examples), it becomes quite apparent that most fixed ability groupings do not make much sense in light of the unique and individual challenges of each student. The "bluebirds" group may actually be quite heterogeneous. My point is that teachers need to adjust instruction (the how) to the individual needs(the what)of each student. The instructional methodology will certainly involve some ability grouping and collaborative learning for efficiency sake. Few of us want the one-room schoolhouse. The point is not to find an "effective way to teach," but rather to provide an "effective way to learn."
I don't expect to trade rhetoric with a published author, LOL, so this is only for the reality of it. Putting 4 G & T Students in a classroom with 4 special needs [read challenged or ??] and filling up the rest of the desks with your top of the bell curve doesn't serve the G & T students, the Special Needs students OR the regular "I'm ready to learn" group. Making the G&T students act as "peer tutors" is not fair to them, but that is what is done on a daily basis in the public schools.
As a constructivist, I am amazed at the quickness that seasoned educators discarded all their experience and now teach only to the "state standards" and to the "state test". Shame on all of us for letting government dictate every iota of content. [sorry, separate topic there Mark lol ]
Our school district has begun doing guided math groups using the same concept of guided reading. Introduce the skill whole group then call small groups based on readiness levels focusing on the skill. Other students are working on math tubs that reinforce the skills previously taught.
I will be teaching 2 co-taught chemistry classes next year. I would be very grateful for any suggestions to help differentiate instruction. I have been told these classes will have low functioning studets with poor math skills, discipline problem student and slightly below average students.

The food was fine. Had the special, which was $9, pricey for breakfast. Hipster kind of place. Lots of flies if you sit outside in the summer.
We found this great cafe when in search of good "real" coffee in Nashville. Heathy sandwiches, homemade soup and desserts and cake and not a deep fryer on the premises. The warm roast beef sandwich was superb on sour dough bread and great coffee.
We ate breakfast at the Frothy Monkey on the last day of our Nashville vacation. The line was long but moved quickly. My husband had the omelet with a mocha and I had the Lucy salad with iced coffee. The food was fresh and tasty and the atmosphere was trendy and comfortable. We enjoyed our visit.
I always try to go to Frothy after 2:00 pm, because the lunch lines are gone. My favorite sandwich is the "Buck", aka a Reuben, LOVE LOVE LOVE eating here !
Food was great and well priced. It was perfect for a sit down breakfast that didn't take all mornining. Coffee was really tasty! Very cute inside. Love the atmosphere.
This was a wonderful little stop. The coffee was great, and the food tasted wonderful! The service was friendly and fast too.
Always wanting to keep it local while on vacation, I decided to skip my usual morning go to, (Starbucks) and try the FM, while in Nashville. Without reservation--I'm going to applaud the Monkey for serving me the very best non fat, no whip, Mocha I have EVER had...then I bit into a delicious donut muffin & the day somehow managed...
Based on rave reviews from folks I trust I've visited this location and the one in Franklin a few times each and have not been impressed. The coffee is consistently mediocre or worse. The staff has been okay at best and rude normally. Even though they occasionally have gluten free items, no one can tell me if they're dairy free...
My mom and I walked from our downtown hotel to this place twice for breakfast/brunch. The food was fresh and delicious. My cappuccino was pretty and it tasted fantastic. I would definitely return.
I made it my mission to try as many local coffee houses as I could on my first trip to Nashville. I give Frothy Monkey two thumbs up, and a promise to return if I can on my next trip! First of all, I LOVED the atmosphere inside and out, I felt comfortable bringing my kids and my stroller and...

Alan Pardew headbutt: Manager issued £100,000 fine and given formal warning by club after astonishing clash with David Meyler
FA are likely to hit manager with heaviest possible punishment
KC Stadium
Sunday 02 March 2014
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew has been fined £100,000 and issued a formal warning from the club after being sent off for head-butting the Hull City midfielder David Meyler.
Senior figures within the game lined up to condemn his unprecedented flash of temper in yesterday's 4-1 Premier League win here. Two former Newcastle managers, Alan Shearer and Graeme Souness, condemned his conduct, which they said could lead to his dismissal.
Speaking on beIN Sports, Shearer said: ''I have never seen anything like that. Even if he doesn't want to resign, the club might be saying to him you resign.'' Souness said: ''This is a sackable offence.''
But the early indications were that Newcastle, whose owner Mike Ashley was not at the stadium, intend to stand by Pardew if possible. The Football Association will be less forgiving and last night confirmed they will punish Pardew, who has a history of touchline clashes. He will probably receive the longest managerial ban and largest fine ever handed out for such an altercation.
Alan Pardew has admitted he moved his head towards Hull midfielder David Meyler during the 4-1 victory for Newcastle Pardew clashed with Meyler in the 72nd minute after the ball went out of play in front of the visitors' dugout. As they squared up to each other, the Newcastle manager pushed his head into the face of the player and then thrust it forward. He claimed afterwards that it was not a head-butt but he offered an immediate apology. "I massively regret it," he said. "I didn't mean to do anything aggressive but my head moved forward.
"I shouldn't be there really. The incident was right on top of me. He pushed me away, I tried to ease him away and I obviously put my head in a forward motion. You just can't do that. I apologised to him, to everyone at Hull and in particular to my own fans as well. I don't think it was a head-butt. It wasn't a motion that was quick like a head-butt."
Greg Dyke, the FA chairman, said: "Clearly it looks serious and we will investigate."
Steve Bruce, the Hull manager, said: "I was in a state of shock at the time. I have never witnessed that before. It's for Alan to live with and deal with the consequences. As far as I'm concerned the matter is over.
"We accept his apology and David accepts his apology and we'll move on. There's no question that Alan led with his head. I'm sure Alan will regret it and look back on it later and wonder what the hell he's done."
A history of touchline tantrums:
January 2014
Pardew directed foul-mouthed abuse at Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini when the teams met this season. The Newcastle manager had to apologise after being heard to shout 'f****** old c***' at Pellegrini in the wake of a decision to disallow Cheick Tioté's first-half goal as the Magpies went down 2-0.
August 2012
Pardew got a two-match touchline ban and a £20,000 fine for shoving assistant referee Peter Kirkup in Newcastle's win over Spurs. Pardew was angered by a failure to award his side a throw-in. He was banished to the stands by referee Martin Atkinson.
November 2006
Pardew had a dispute with Arsène Wenger after celebrating West Ham's win over Arsenal. Wenger claimed he was provoked into pushing Pardew after Pardew's celebrations at West Ham's late win. Wenger was later fined by the FA, while Pardew was cleared of the charges in January 2007.

Six years ago Thursday, Gregg Popovich traded for a starting center, made him a backup and gave him 18 minutes a game the rest of the season. The San Antonio Spurs went on to win the 2005 NBA title.
Thunder's Nazr Mohammed familiar with trades, success
Thursday, the Thunder traded for a starting (mostly) center, made him a backup and probably will give him about 18 minutes a game the rest of the season.
Same guy. Nazr Mohammed.
The Thunder acquired the 6-foot-10 Mohammed on Thursday from the Charlotte Bobcats. Mohammed is a 33-year-old, defensive-minded center (7.3 points a game for the Bobcats this season; 6.9 for his career).
He's not going to make a highlight reel. He's also not going to let players get to the basket easily. Mohammed provides strong inside depth behind newly-acquired center Kendrick Perkins.
When the Thunder traded Nenad Krstic and Jeff Green for Perkins, it left the Thunder a little shallow in the middle. Rookie Cole Aldrich suddenly was in the interior rotation.
Mohammed's trade a few minutes later fortifies the Thunder interior even moreso.
Mohammed, whose father is from Ghana, was raised in Chicago and played for Rick Pitino and Tubby Smith at the University of Kentucky. He played little on UK's 1996 NCAA title team but was a major part of the Wildcats' 1998 NCAA title team.
More good pedigree from Mohammed: He was drafted by the 76ers om 1998 when Larry Brown was coach, then played again for Brown at Charlotte. If Brown likes your defense, that's a good endorsement.

↳ orpheus & eurydice
Eurydice was a nymph and the bride of Orpheus, a legendary musician and poet. On their wedding day, she got bit by a viper and died from the poison. The despairing Orpheus played such sad songs on his lyre that even the gods wept and told him to go to the Underworld to bring her back. Orpheus did so and finally played in front of Hades and Persephone, whose cold hearts were thawed by his song. They allowed for Eurydice's return on one condition: Orpheus must walk in front of her and not look back until they're out of the Underworld. Along the way, Orpheus began to suspect that he'd been deceived, that Eurydice was not there with him at all. Just as soon as he reached daylight, he looked back, and she disappeared back into the Underworld. However, when Orpheus was later killed by the Maenads, his soul was reunited with hers in the Underworld.

Linc. Four letters that say it all. To all who knew him, he stood tall. And like the friendly giant, he gathered you in.
It didn't matter to Linc whether you were a prime minister or a street person. He treated everyone with dignity and respect. And even though he broke his way through a colour barrier to become the first black Member of Parliament, he never saw people through the lens of colour.
Some privately criticized him for that, wanting Linc to be more vocal about the racial barriers he faced in his climb to the top. But that was never his mantra.
Instead, he encouraged everyone to get an education, which Linc firmly believed was the key to a better life. The common denominator of encouraging young people to stay in school became his watchword wherever he went in life.
From his call to the bar, to his arrival in Parliament, from his stint at the Workmen's Compensation Board to his investiture as the first black lieutenant-governor of Ontario, Linc used his considerable persuasive powers to preach the importance of a good education.
And that power of persuasion was considerable.
I was very young when I first met Lincoln Alexander. The details are fuzzy but I remember trailing around with my dad to a local event when he was the mayor.
This huge man stared down at me with a great, bellowing laugh and a wonderful warm smile. He was blacker than most people I had yet met in my young life. But he didn't frighten me. Instead, he enveloped me, with warmth and kindness, in a way that created an instant bond.
That bond with people became his benchmark. Even with his so-called political enemies, Linc was always ready to reach out. At any event, even after he retired from politics, Linc always went out of his way to make sure that every politician in the crowd warranted a friendly mention.
Linc was truly a Progressive Conservative, a model in a time when Red Tories were the linchpin of their party. In those days, it was still considered a political must for all parties to reach out on important issues like worker safety and abolition of poverty.
When Linc became the first black labour minister in Canadian history, he fought for workers rights and defended the little guy. That reputation made for an easy transition when he left politics in 1980 to accept an appointment at what was then known as the Ontario Workmen's Compensation Board. In that capacity, Linc was responsible for all the compensation claims from workers who suffered on-the-job injuries or accidents.
Our paths crossed again soon, as my first nationally televised news conference was an attack on work practices at the WCB.
At the time, I was a newly minted Member of Provincial Parliament from Hamilton Centre. Someone called the office with a complaint that medical records were flying around the parking lot outside the WCB offices in Hamilton. I went down to the site, and sure enough, a dumpster full of medical records was not secured, and files were flying across the parking lot.
Smelling a scandal, I issued a press release, inviting the national media to a news conference the next day in a dumpster. Every media outlet in Toronto, and CHCH, were there in force, with some carrying the story live on the noon news. It went national, and within a day, Linc ordered shredding machines for every WCB office in the province.
The next time I bumped into him, I thought Linc would be upset. On the contrary, he reassured me that there were no hard feelings. He knew it was nothing personal and I had only been doing my job as an Opposition member.
Linc was a consummate gentleman in a time when even political opponents were friends.
During his long life, times changed and so did politics.
We only wish we could recapture the kinder, gentler times that were personified in the life's work of Lincoln Alexander. Linc, you will be missed.

In Benghazi testimony, Petraeus says al Qaeda role known early
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former CIA Director David Petraeus told Congress on Friday that he and the spy agency had sought to make clear from the outset that September's deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, involved an al Qaeda affiliate, lawmakers said.
Petraeus told lawmakers "there were extremists in the group" that launched the attack on the diplomatic mission, describing them as affiliates of al Qaeda and other groups, said Representative C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, the top Democrat on the House of Representatives intelligence committee.
"The fact is that he clarified it," Ruppersberger said.
Petraeus appeared behind closed doors before the House and Senate intelligence panels the week after quitting his CIA post because of an extramarital affair. He made no public remarks.
Another lawmaker, Republican Representative Peter King, said Petraeus' account in the closed-door session differed from the assessment the CIA chief gave to Congress two months ago, just days after the September 11 attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
"He also stated that he thought all along he made it clear that there were significant terrorist involvement, and that is not my recollection of what he told us on September 14," King said.
Petraeus last week admitted to an affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell. Lawmakers said a somber Petraeus told them his resignation had nothing to do with issues related to Benghazi or any reluctance to testify before Congress.
"The general did not address any specifics of the affair, of that issue," Democratic Representative Jim Langevin said. "What he did say in his opening statement was that he regrets the circumstances that led to his resignation."
The assault on the U.S. mission and nearby CIA annex in Benghazi has turned into a flash point between President Barack Obama, a Democrat, and Republicans.
Republicans accuse the White House and in particular the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, of misleading the public just after the attack by suggesting the assault was a spontaneous act instead of a planned terrorist operation. The Obama administration denies misleading anyone and says it discussed information about the Benghazi tragedy as it came in.
Some Republicans have suggested the administration initially wanted to avoid the idea that it had failed to prevent a terrorist attack, which might have dampened the president's re-election chances on November 6. Obama has denied that implication.
Petraeus, a retired Army four-star general, slipped in and out of the closed sessions unseen by a swarm of media. Capitol police cleared journalists and others from hallways where the former CIA director might have been spotted.
"You can blame it on us," Senator Dianne Feinstein, Democratic chairwoman of the Senate intelligence committee, told reporters who complained about not even seeing Petraeus. "The general was both eager and willing to give us his views on this, and his experience on it, and that's very much appreciated. ... We didn't want to make it any more difficult for him."
Although he has left the CIA, Petraeus was asked to testify about Benghazi in part because he had gone to Libya before his resignation to interview people about what happened in Benghazi on September 11.
Lawmakers appeared to treat the question of Petraeus' personal life with kid gloves. They said the questioning was sometimes awkward against the backdrop of the Broadwell scandal and because some of them have known Petraeus for years and think highly of his military service in which he ran the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
"I consider him a friend, which made the questioning tough, to be honest with you," King told reporters.
"I've known him for nine years now. I actually asked him to run for president a few years ago," he said.
Petraeus' affair has raised questions about whether any classified information was divulged to Broadwell that would affect national security. So far, FBI investigators have not discovered anything to suggest that was the case, law enforcement sources said.
Democratic lawmakers emerging from the sessions with Petraeus said it was clear Rice had been speaking from talking points that were approved by the U.S. intelligence community when she discussed the Benghazi attack.
In five Sunday talk show appearances on September 16, Rice said the assault was prompted by an anti-Muslim video and then morphed into a more violent act. But she also told CBS's "Face the Nation" that day that it was "clear that there were extremist elements that joined in and escalated the violence."
"I don't think she should be pilloried for this," said Feinstein, who was carrying a copy of the talking points that were probably given to Rice and read them aloud to journalists.
"She did what I would have done, or anyone else would have done, that is going on a weekend show. You would have said, 'What talking points can I use?'" Feinstein said. "It's almost as if the intent is to assassinate the character."
Senator Saxby Chambliss, the intelligence committee's top Republican, told reporters the problem with Rice's talk show appearances was that she did not stick with the talking points she was given on the Benghazi attack.
"She knew at that point in time that al Qaeda was very likely responsible in part or in whole for the death of Ambassador Stevens," he said.
Some senior Republicans have vowed to block Rice's potential nomination for secretary of state or another top Cabinet post because of her Benghazi comments. Rice is believed to be on Obama's short list to replace Hillary Clinton, who has said she intends to leave her State Department job.
