Hamas targets Jerusalem in major escalation as Israel girds for Gaza invasion
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) -- Palestinian militants took aim at Jerusalem for the first time Friday, launching a rocket attack on the holy city in a major escalation of hostilities as Israel pressed forward with a relentless campaign of airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.
Israel called up thousands of reservists and massed troops along the border with Gaza, signaling a ground invasion of the densely populated seaside strip could be imminent. The attack on Jerusalem, along with an earlier strike on the metropolis of Tel Aviv, raised the likelihood that Israel would soon move in.
Israel launched its military campaign Wednesday after days of heavy rocket fire from Gaza by assassinating the military chief of the territory's ruling Hamas militant group. Since then it has carried out hundreds of airstrikes on weapons-storage facilities and underground rocket-launching sites.
It has slowly expanded its operation beyond military targets and before dawn on Saturday, missiles smashed into a small Hamas security facility as well as the sprawling Hamas police headquarters in Gaza City, setting off a massive blaze there that threatened to engulf nearby houses and civilian cars parked outside. No one was inside the buildings at the time.
A separate airstrike leveled a mosque in central Gaza, damaging nearby houses, Gaza security officials and residents said. The military had no comment on that attack and it wasn't clear whether weapons or fighters were being harbored in the area.
Petraeus to Congress: CIA believed early on that terrorists were behind Libya consulate attack
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Testifying out of sight, ex-CIA Director David Petraeus told Congress Friday that classified intelligence showed the deadly raid on the U.S. Consulate in Libya was a terrorist attack but the administration withheld the suspected role of al-Qaida affiliates to avoid tipping them off.
The recently resigned spy chief explained that references to terrorist groups suspected of carrying out the violence were removed from the public explanation of what caused the attack so as not to alert them that U.S. intelligence was on their trail, according to lawmakers who attended Petraeus' private briefings.
He also said it initially was unclear whether the militants had infiltrated a demonstration to cover their attack.
The retired four-star general addressed the House and Senate intelligence committees in back-to-back, closed-door hearings as questions persist over what the Obama administration knew in the immediate aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks and why its public description did not match intelligence agencies' assessments.
After the hearings, lawmakers who questioned Petraeus said he testified that the CIA's draft talking points in response to the assault on the diplomatic post in Benghazi that killed four Americans referred to it as a terrorist attack. Petraeus said that reference was removed from the final version, although he wasn't sure which federal agency deleted it.
Officials: Few of Gen. Allen emails potentially problematic out of 20,000-plus pages reviewed
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Two U.S. officials say just a handful of the emails between the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan and a Florida woman are potentially problematic, but the vast majority of the 20,000-plus pages of documents reviewed by investigators were routine.
The disclosure puts a clearer perspective on the breadth of questionable communications between Gen. John Allen and Tampa socialite Jill Kelley. Officials have described some emails as inappropriate and "suggestive." Allen has said he's done nothing wrong.
One of the officials put the number at five. The officials were not authorized to publicly discuss the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Kelley is a key player in the scandal that uncovered ex-CIA Director David Petraeus' affair with his biographer and led him to resign.
Allen's nomination to lead the U.S. European Command is on hold while the investigation continues. He continues in his job as commander of the Afghanistan war.
After meeting with Obama, congressional leaders voice confidence in deal to avoid fiscal cliff
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Congressional leaders from both parties voiced fresh optimism Friday after meeting with newly re-elected President Barack Obama about avoiding year-end "fiscal cliff" tax increases and spending cuts that would hammer the middle class and risk plunging the economy into recession.
House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio said Republicans are willing to consider increased revenue "as long as it is accompanied by spending cuts" as leaders in a divided government get to work on a possible deal after a fierce election campaign.
He presented a framework that one official said called for a deficit down-payment of unspecified size by year's end, to be followed by comprehensive tax reform and an overhaul of Medicare and other benefit programs in 2013.
Democrats indicated some spending cuts would be fine with them. "I feel confident that a solution may be in sight," said House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California.
The goal of the high-pressure talks to come is to produce a multitrillion-dollar deficit-reduction plan that can take the place of the across-the-board tax increases and spending cuts that are slated to take effect on Jan. 1.
Judge denies preliminary injunction that sought to halt work on Calif. high-speed rail system
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- A judge denied a request Friday from Central Valley farmers who sought to halt work on California's ambitious high-speed rail project, allowing work on the $68 billion project to continue at an aggressive pace.
Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Timothy Frawley denied a request for a preliminary injunction, saying that the agency overseeing the project "acted reasonably and in good faith" in trying to comply with California environmental law.
Groups representing Central Valley farmers had hoped to stop the California High-Speed Rail Authority from all planning and engineering work because of their claims that the authority did not thoroughly weigh the potential environmental harms of the project.
Frawley did not rule on the merits of their case, which is expected to be heard this spring, but said he was persuaded that the state generally sought to comply with California's rigorous environmental laws, and that the potential harm to the state was much greater than the potential harm to farmers along the route.
The rail authority's chairman, Dan Richard, applauded the decision.
Train slams into parade float, killing 4 veterans and injuring 16 in West Texas
MIDLAND, Texas (AP) -- Cheered on by a flag-waving crowd, a parade float filled with wounded veterans and their spouses was inching across a railroad track when the crossing gates began to lower and a freight train that seemed to come out of nowhere was suddenly bearing down on them, its horn blaring.
Some of those seated on the float jumped off in wide-eyed terror just moments before the train -- traveling at more than 60 mph -- crashed into the flatbed truck with a low whoosh and a thunderous crack.
Four veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan -- including an Army sergeant who apparently sacrificed his life to save his wife -- were killed Thursday afternoon and 16 people were injured in a scene of both tragedy and heroism.
For some of the veterans who managed to jump clear of the wreck, training and battlefield instinct instantly kicked in, and they rushed to help the injured, applying tourniquets and putting pressure on wounds.
"They are trained for tragedy," said Pam Shoemaker of Monroe, La., who was with her husband, a special operations veteran, on a float ahead of the one that was hit.
Political prisoners, war, unrest: Despite Myanmar reforms, much remains to be done
YANGON, Myanmar (AP) -- In the west, terrified villagers flee burning homes after an explosion of ethnic and religious violence. In the north, refugees from a civil war cower in chilly camps, desperately short on life's basic necessities. And in dank jails, hundreds of political prisoners languish behind bars, wondering when they'll ever be freed.
This is not the Myanmar that President Barack Obama will see when he becomes the first American head of state to visit this pagoda-studded country on Monday. He wants to encourage the stunning democratic transformation Myanmar has undergone since last year, but there are concerns his visit may be premature.
The nation's warp-speed revolution is fragile. Its nascent transition has already been bloody. And much unfinished business remains: from repealing harsh laws that helped silence a generation of pro-democracy dissidents, to overhauling a political power structure still tipped heavily in favor of army rule.
"If President Obama doesn't put his full weight behind further urgent reforms in Myanmar, this trip risks being an ill-timed presidential pat on the back for a regime that has looked the other way as violence rages, destroying villages and communities just in the last few weeks," said Suzanne Nossel, the U.S.-based director of Amnesty International.
White House officials cautioned Thursday that Obama's visit to Myanmar, also known as Burma, should not be viewed as a "victory celebration." They reiterated that urgent action is still needed, particularly on freeing political prisoners and ending the unrest in western Rakhine state.
Gulf oil platform fire leaves 4 workers critical, 2 missing; images similar to 2010 disaster
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- The Coast Guard was searching Friday for two workers missing after a fire erupted on an oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico, sending an ominous black plume of smoke into the air reminiscent of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion that transformed the oil industry and life along the coast.
The fire, begun while workers were using a torch to cut an oil line, critically injured at least four workers who had burns over much of their bodies.
The images were eerily similar to the massive oil spill that killed 11 workers and took months to bring under control. It came a day after BP agreed to plead guilty to a raft of charges in the 2010 spill and pay a record $4.5 billion in penalties.
There were a few important differences with the Deepwater Horizon explosion that killed 11 workers and began one of the nation's biggest environmental disasters: Friday's fire was put out within hours, rather than burning for more than a day and causing the rig to collapse and sink. It's a production platform in shallow water, rather than an exploratory drilling rig looking for new oil on the seafloor almost a mile deep.
Still, the accident was a vivid reminder of the dangerous business of offshore drilling and the risk it poses to the Gulf of Mexico's ecosystem and shoreline.
From banana-filled cakes to American icon to punch line, the (everlasting) life of the Twinkie
Let's not panic. We all know that Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Wonder bread and the rest of Hostess Brands' oddly everlasting foods aren't going away any time soon, even if the food culture that created them is gasping its last.
Yes, Hostess is shutting down. And odds seem to favor the roughly century-old company disappearing from our corporate landscape. But before you rush out to stockpile a strategic Twinkie reserve, consider a few things. Namely, that Twinkies never die. You know full well that the snack cakes down at your corner 7-Eleven are going to outlive us all. Probably even after they've been consumed.
And then there's the acquisition-happy nature of the business world, an environment that increasingly prizes intellectual property above all. It's hard to imagine the fading away of brands as storied and valuable as Ho Hos, Ring Dings and Yodels. Within hours of announcing the closure Friday, the company already had put out word that Zingers, Fruit Pies and all the other brands were up for grabs.
Even if production really did stop, how long do you think it would take for some enterprising investor intoxicated by a cocktail of nostalgia and irony for the treats Mom used to pack in his G.I. Joe lunch box to find a way to roll out commemorative Twinkies? Special edition holiday Ho Hos? It's just the nature of our product-centered world. Brands don't die, even when perhaps they should.
But let's pretend for a moment they did. What would we lose if Twinkies fell off the culinary cliff?
Person familiar with negotiations says Melky Cabrera reaches 2-year, $16M deal with Blue Jays
NEW YORK (AP) -- The busy Toronto Blue Jays struck again Friday with their latest big deal: All-Star game MVP Melky Cabrera is set to join them in his return from a drug suspension.
A person familiar with the negotiations said the free agent outfielder and the Blue Jays have reached agreement on a two-year contract worth $16 million. The deal is pending a physical, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because there was no official announcement.
ESPN Deportes first reported the agreement Friday.
Earlier this week, the Blue Jays got All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes and pitchers Josh Johnson and Mark Buehrle from the Miami Marlins in a blockbuster trade that could involve a dozen players.
Toronto has not reached the playoffs since winning its second straight World Series in 1993, and has often been stuck behind big spenders in the AL East. After going 73-89 this year, the Blue Jays have made quite a splash in the offseason.

Chihuahua guards children's toys, and growlsby Dr. Lisa Radosta
Question: I have a strange question. We have a Chihuahua that is constantly stealing our daughter's stuffed animals and makes a bed and places them in certain spots.
She will lie on them – it's almost like she is trying to mother them because when we come near them, especially our kids, she growls at them. Just wondering why she would be doing this. If we take it away at first she whines, and then stops, but the minute we take the toy back out she almost does back-flips.
It's not bothersome, just curious. Please let me know. — Becky
Answer: Your dog is resource guarding. This is very common in dogs and is actually a normal behavior.
Resource guarding is a dog's way of telling you the toy is really important to her and she really, really wants to keep it. The toy could be extra special to her because it is different and novel (she doesn't get to play with it often) or because she is closely bonded to your daughter.
Resource guarding can become dangerous as the dog's level of aggression escalates in an effort to keep her toy. The resource guarding can be reduced by giving your Chihuahua lots of great toys that are similar to the ones that your daughter uses. Rotate the toys daily so that her own toys seem new and fabulous.
Do not let your children take a toy from her. It is safer for you to do it. Use a key phrase ("drop it") when you are taking the toy from her and hand her something better when she relinquishes it to you. This way, you will convince her to play with her own things and when she does get your daughter's things, she will happily give them back to you.

This Weekend: Brunch Begins at Buccan
By M.M. Cloutier
After having garnered a substantial dinner following—not to mention a position in must-eat-there chitchat about Palm Beach restaurants—Buccan begins Sunday brunch service this weekend with live musical entertainment.
Clay Conley—a notable chef and an appreciator of regional and native cuisines, whether from his native Maine or Asia—hasn't finalized the brunch menu, but items one can expect include jumbo shrimp and grits with aged cheddar, sherry and red peppers, and buttermilk-fried chicken with black-pepper gravy and mashed potatoes.
Also anticipated: ham and egg pizza with fontina and asparagus; butternut-squash beignets; and eggs Benedict with roasted heirloom tomatoes and bacon.
In addition to brunch items, selections from Buccan's dinner menu will be offered, such as tuna tartare.
Dishes during brunch will be priced from around $10 to $25.
For more information, call Buccan (350 S. County Road) at 833-3450.
Buccan's web site: http://www.buccanpalmbeach.com. The brunch menu isn't posted there yet, but an example of the dinner menu is, reflecting Chef Conley's international, eclectic and wood-fired cooking range.

The Norman Invasion-------
Mother of Pearl's Maia Norman—surfer chick-turned-fashion designer—always puts Mother Earth first. So for her dinner in London last night, she chose Senkai, the Japanese restaurant that sources all of its food locally and abides by a sustainable and ethical menu. "You have to respect nature and heed its power," Norman said over salad and sushi. "When I design, I think of the elements. When I am out there surfing, I need to be insulated from the wind and the water. When I am on my motorbike, I need to be well protected and padded if I ever fall off. I think there are so many of us whose clothes need to conform to their lifestyle, not vice versa." That may explain why her profile is growing swiftly in Asia and the Middle East.
Norman's clothes—leathers and cashmeres in Smartie candy shades—conform to the less sporting part of her own lifestyle: her long relationship with husband Damien Hirst. Artist collaborations have become a calling card of the line (in the past, she has worked with the likes of Jim Lambie and Fiona Banner), and last night she offered a glimpse into the the Fall '12 collection she's currently preparing: its visiting artist is New York sensation Fred Tomaselli. "Fred is a good friend and his work is wild, inspiring. I asked him once, twice, and three times to collaborate—each time he said no. Finally, years on, he had a change of heart and said yes."
Reason enough for friends like Lulu Kennedy, Polly Morgan, Richard Mortimer, and Pam Hogg to raise a glass. Hogg had something to celebrate, too: One of her pieces just made the cover of British Vogue. Gisele is wearing "leggings I made eight years ago!" she revealed. "It's amazing that they liked them enough to keep them that long."

Situated above the recently opened Tillings Cafe in Gomshall, Surrey, the Bourneside Gallery is a real gem. Having heard great things about the cafe, I went over there this afternoon to see what all the fuss was about. And, whilst the place is nice and I did enjoy my wonderful orange and fig cake, the upstairs gallery – run by Judy and Pete Hill – really stole the show. With a carefully curated selection of mid-century furniture, art, ceramics and glassware, as well as an impressive collection of contemporary works by notable local artists, the gallery makes such a refreshing change from the hundreds of fusty antique shops dotted around the Surrey Hills. Its proprietors really know their stuff, sourcing unusual pieces with stories to tell, and exhibiting some really exciting original prints. What's even better is that everything is very reasonably priced, so it's highly unlikely you'll be leaving empty-handed. Exhibitions change on a regular basis – I can't wait to see what they've got in there next time I pop in!

Chicago, Ill. – Oct. 23, 2013 – Elyse Clair, MSN, APN, ENP-BC, FNP-BC, nurse practitioner in the Emergency Department at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, was recently one of the first in the nation to be board certified as an Emergency Nurse Practitioner by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC).
Clair, who had previously received her board certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner has worked in the Advocate Illinois Masonic ED since 2009 and has been a nurse practitioner in emergency medicine since 2000. She also serves as a content expert for ANCC for the new certification and is the first nurse practitioner in Illinois to have received the new certification.
Clair said there are only a handful of advanced certifications for nurse practitioners, so she appreciates the opportunity to earn certification in her area of clinical expertise.
"This new certification validates our practice even further," she said. "I feel that this is a great accomplishment professionally. It's very exciting."
According to the ANCC, those looking to earn their Emergency Nurse Practitioner certification must:
"I love working in the Emergency Department," Clair says. "I love the diversity of patients we serve. We have the privilege to help those in need when they are most vulnerable. We really meet the needs of each patient as a whole person."
Clair said she was inspired early on to become an emergency care clinician, following a visit to a local emergency room on a field trip.
"I experienced something there. It was the start. It sparked a passion in what I wanted to do."
With her new certification, Clair said she hopes to help establish a nurse practitioner residency program in emergency care.
"A residency program will help to even further validate emergency care as a clinical area of expertise for nurse practitioners," she said.

Scout's Eye: Flacco is disproving doubters
A polarizing figure in NFL scouting circles, Ravens QB Joe Flacco proved he could win the big game in an emotionally charged win over Pittsburgh Sunday night.
‹‹ previous 1 2 3 4 next ››
Flacco signed a new contract Monday worth $120.6 million over six years, making him the highest paid player in NFL history. threw 11 touchdown passes and no interceptions during the recent postseason||||||| The Super Bowl MVP will receive a $29 million signing bonus and $52 million in guaranteed money. He will be paid $51 million over the first two years of the deal. "It's not really about the money, it's about that respect," Flacco said minutes after signing. The 28-year-old Flacco is the first starting quarterback in NFL history to make the playoffs in each of his first five seasons. He has clearly proven his status as an elite QB.
A person with knowledge of the deal tells The Associated Press that Flacco has agreed on a new contract with the Baltimore Ravens.||||||| Flacco played out his rookie contract last season for $6.76 million and led Baltimore to the NFL championship. He cashed in Friday with the new deal, although terms were not immediately available. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement has not officially been announced. The 28-year-old Flacco is the only quarterback to win a postseason game in each of his first five pro seasons.
The Baltimore Ravens and Flacco's agent plan to meet this weekend in their first attempt to reach a new contract for the Super Bowl MVP.||||||| After the team and Flacco couldn't agree on an extension or a new deal last summer, Flacco played out the final year of his rookie contract - and struck it big. Flacco had 11 touchdown passes and no interceptions in the postseason. Flacco made less than $7 million in 2012, and even if the Ravens franchise him, he would at least double that salary for next season.
Flacco was named the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, leading the Ravens to a 34-31 win over San Francisco.||||||| Flacco was outstanding, compiling a 124.2 passer rating while completing 22 of 33 passes for 287 yards with three touchdowns. It may have also been his last appearance for the Ravens since he's scheduled to be a free agent in the offseason. He may be headed for one of the richest contracts in NFL history.
Flacco was 21 of 36 for 240 yards with three second-half TDs and no INTs in Sunday's AFC championship game win at New England.||||||| No NFL quarterback _ not Tom Brady, not Peyton Manning _ has more than Flacco's 62 victories, including the postseason, since the start of the 2008 season. No NFL quarterback has more than his six postseason wins on the road. And no other quarterback has a postseason victory in each of his first five seasons during the Super Bowl era.

The Drupal 7 open source content management system is expected to reach a beta release stage next month, with the general release due to follow several weeks later, Drupal founder Dries Buytaert said.
In an interview with InfoWorld at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON 2010) conference in Portland last week, Buytaert also reiterated that version 7 would be slower than version 6 but still superior. He also offered perspectives on open source and the upcoming cloud version of Drupal, called Drupal Gardens. Now CTO of Acquia, Buytaert began working on Drupal around 10 years ago and released it as an open source technology in 2001.
[ See InfoWorld's continuing coverage of OSCON, including presentations about programming from XML co-inventor Tim Bray, now of Google, and Google executive Rob Pike. ]
InfoWorld: When will Drupal 7 be released?
Buytaert: We still don't know, but we're down to 44 critical bugs. My hope is that we'll have a beta release of Drupal 7 around the beginning of August.
InfoWorld: When would the general release happen?
Buytaert: I think it's going to happen somewhere in [the] September, October timeframe.
InfoWorld: At the DrupalCon conference in April, you said Drupal 7 was going to be slower than Drupal 6. How much slower, and what's the reasoning behind that?
Buytaert: We added a lot of features. You have Drupal core, which is the base platform, and then we have contributed modules, which are being developed by other members in the community. We actually moved [about] 70 contributed modules into Drupal core. So Drupal core got bigger, it has more features. One side effect is that it becomes a little bit slower because there's extra features and functionality. We've made really significant improvements to Drupal usability. It was our key focus, is to make Drupal easier to use for end users. We hired some of the best usability people in the world -- Mark Boulton, he did the BBC website.
InfoWorld: What do some of the modules do?
Buytaert: One of the most popular contributed modules is called CCK. It stands for Content Construction Kit and basically allows people to define custom content types from within their browser. For example, if you want to do a review site or something, you can create a review content type. [Also] we made it a better, more flexible platform, [which] definitely impacts performance a little bit. The other thing is as Drupal gets bigger -- actually I should say as the users of Drupal gets bigger -- there's bigger Web sites adopting Drupal. We were able to learn from that and we were able to make some architectural changes that improved scalability. But scalability is not to be confused with performance. So the trade-off that we made is that it's easier to scale Drupal to really large websites across multiple servers but the performance of Drupal on a single server will be a little bit affected by that. While Drupal becomes a little bit slower, it's actually possible to build bigger websites with it. We thought that was a fair trade-off.
InfoWorld: I understand that Drupal 7 will break APIs and feature a redesigned interface for nontechnical users. Are you concerned about offending any longtime devotees or developers?

Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood is challenging kids around the country to step away from their screens.
Screen-Free Week is an initiative that starts April 29 and lasts through May 5 and encourages individuals to turn off the television, video games, iPads, smartphones and other screens they use for entertainment.
The campaign is aimed at children who are spending increasingly more time with technology. It's a testament to our evolving society, but also a red flag in the eyes of health experts. Adults are also encouraged to heed the campaign's advice.
"The American Society of Bariatric Physicians knows all too well that obesity is a growing problem in our communities," Deborah Bade Horn, vice president of ASBP said in a release. "There is a dose-response relationship between screen time and health. As screen time is decreased, measures of health like BMI, physical fitness and self-esteem improve, especially in children."
Today, technology serves as a critical ingredient in a child's learning environment, but any as with any activity, it can be beneficial to take a rest.

By Beth Weinhouse
When the days grow longer and the sun warmer, most families can't wait to take to the outdoors. But when there's an infant in the family, being outside requires special precautions. In fact, most pediatricians advise keeping infants out of direct sunlight entirely. Infant skin is thinner and more delicate than adults', or even than older children's. And because the skin's sun protection mechanism isn't fully developed yet, newborn and infant skin burns more easily. Even babies with darker skin need to be protected. While keeping a baby indoors all summer may be the ideal from a medical point of view, it certainly isn't practical. Few babies spend an entire summer cooped up indoors. So if you plan to be outside with your baby this summer, learn how to protect the littlest family members so they can have safe fun in the sun, too. Dermatologists caution that the damage from the sun is cumulative, and most people receive up to 80 percent of their lifetime exposure to the sun before age eighteen. Beginning a sun protection program early will help protect babies from sunburn now... and from skin cancer later. Minimizing Sun Exposure
Dressing the Part Even shade is not total protection from the sun, since the sun's rays can be reflected off many surfaces, such as sun, sand and concrete. Dressing babies properly will help protect them even when they're not exposed to direct sunlight.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — As the world's Roman Catholic cardinals head to the Vatican to select the next pope, speculation abounds that Boston's own Cardinal Sean O'Malley is among the contenders.
The world has yet to have an American pope and the thought that the leader of the Boston archdiocese is receiving serious consideration surely is fascinating. However, O'Malley, or any other American for that matter, would have to be a longshot.
The cardinals, historically, keep their own counsel. And they surely will again when they gather early in March to elect a successor to the retiring Benedict XVI.
But even casual observers of the process can detect certain trends. The foremost is that, despite recent history, popes are usually Italians. The elevation of Polish Cardinal Karol Wojtyla as Pope John Paul II in 1978 began the first non-Italian papacy in 455 years. Benedict, the retiring pope, is German.
When popes are selected from outside Italy, it usually serves some broader Church purpose. John Paul's selection in 1978 helped strengthen the Church in the then-communist countries of Eastern Europe. As the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger stood for the Church's conservatism in the face of demands for liberalization of doctrine, a position his elevation as Benedict XVI reinforced.
When Benedict announced earlier this month that he would resign due to declining health, speculation began immediately as to who would be his successor. Many observers see Cardinal Angelo Scola of Milan as the leading candidate. But Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn of Vienna, Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana and Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires are also contenders.
Americans generally are unlikely prospects for pope supposedly because the cardinals fear combining U.S. political power with spiritual authority. But O'Malley's name keeps surfacing in the Catholic press as an American with prospects. John Allen, Vatican correspondent for the National Catholic Reporter, has noted that the Italian press has put O'Malley on a list of "papabili" — Italian for those regarded as capable of serving as leader of the Catholic Church.
O'Malley's reputation as a modest, spiritually dedicated reformer is what puts him on that list. He is seen has having done well in the wake of the sex abuse scandal that saw Cardinal Bernard Law resign as leader of the Boston archdiocese. O'Malley's service to the poor and devotion to the pro-life cause also make him an appealing candidate, observers say.
"There are 117 cardinals and probably 116 of them would love to be pope," Thomas Groome, theology professor at Boston College told NBC News. "The one who wouldn't is O'Malley and that could be why he gets it."
O'Malley himself laughs off the idea that he might be pope, joking that he has purchased a two-way plane ticket to the conclave in Rome.
The papacy is an ancient and powerful human institution and the elevation of a pope is a rare event. It is fascinating for Catholics and non-Catholics alike to see the process in action.
Even the cardinals themselves cannot predict what will happen. There is an old saying that "he who enters the conclave a pope, leaves it a cardinal." Meaning: front-runners are often disappointed.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The chairman of a House committee investigating the alleged Secret Service prostitution scandal is predicting more firings, but lawmakers and President Barack Obama's top campaign adviser are expressing confidence that the agency will effectively deal with the incident.
House Homeland Security Committee chairman Peter King says "every possible lead is being examined" in the case. King says he's baffled by the alleged behavior, telling NBC's "Meet the Press": "What they were thinking is beyond me."
So far, six agents have lost their jobs while another six are being investigated along with 11 members of the military.
Appearing on ABC's "This Week," Sen. Susan Collins of Maine says she wonders whether having more female agents as part of the Secret Service team in Colombia might have kept the incident from taking place.
Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod calls the alleged behavior disturbing, but tells CNN's "State of the Union" that the misdeeds of a few individuals should not tarnish the overall work and reputation of the service.

Finding Background Information - Cultural Characteristics, Data about Media
Note: You may use Wikipedia as a starting place and a way to find other sources, but do not use it or cite it as a source.
Make sure you know what year the data you find represents. Try to use data from the last 5 years if possible.
EIU (Economist Intelligence Unit) - general overview of political and business environments of individual countries
UN Data - United Nations, general data
BBC Country Profiles - for general information; see also "Media" tab
CIA World Factbook - "Select a country or location" pull down menu
Europa World (not just Europe; media, TV, radio, newspapers...) Region > Country name > Directory: Society and Media
EMarketer - data on media usage (for some countries)
UIS Country Profiles on Media (2011-2012) - UNESCO Institute for Statistics
UC Berkeley Library Statistics Databases
The international encyclopedia of communication (reference book - but from 2003)
Topic: Image of African American women in advertising
potentially relevant disciplines:
African American Studies
Gender and Women's Studies
Ethnic Studies
Media Studies
Developing appropriate keywords/search terms is an essential part of research. First, break your topic into components. Develop a list of synonyms and alternative terminology for each component. Think about broader and narrower concepts and word variants. What words can you exclude?
Topic: Image of African American Women in Advertising
image(s) or stereotyp(es)(ing) or depict(ion) or portray(al)...
african american(s) or black(s) or minorit(y)(ies)
women or gender
advertis(e)(ing) or media
Remember to be creative with your terminology! More examples:
people of color and environmental activism*
environmental justice
environmental justice and hazardous waste*
environmental equity
environmental discrimination
environmental racism
environmental injustice
To find books, DVDs, maps, sound recordings, manuscripts, and much more - everything except articles - use a library catalog.
OskiCat = most UC Berkeley libraries
MELVYL = all UC campus libraries, including all UC Berkeley libraries
What's the difference? more details here
For each item make sure you know the name of the physical library, call number, and whether or not it's checked out, library use only, etc.
Call numbers are on the spine of the book; learn how to read them so you can find what you need on the shelves.
Media Resources Center lists of media by subject area
Media Resources Center list of feature films
You can also find non-print media of all types in OskiCat; search by keywords, author, subject, title, etc. and pull down the "Entire Collection" menu to the type of resource you want (maps, films, etc.)
All Media Resources Center materials must be used on-site.
Search an article database to find citations (title, author, title of journal, date, page numbers) for articles on a particular topic. The Library gives you access to over 200 article databases covering different disciplines.
1. Think about which academic disciplines might write about your topic. Examples: literature, film, anthropology, history...
2. Find the appropriate article database by subject (academic discipline or department). Look for "Recommended" databases.
Library home > Articles > Article Databases by Subject
Once you've searched a database to find articles, you may need to use to link to a PDF or html file if the full text is not immediately available. Each database is a bit different, but a good rule of thumb is this: when you see the Uc-eLinks icon click on it to view your article access options, which can range from full text to a call number to an Interlibrary Loan request:
For more information, here's a tutorial on using UC-eLinks.
Choose an interdisciplinary articles database; add other databases as appropriate (NOTE: this is not a complete list of all possible databases - just the ones available from this company)
Library home > Articles > General Article Databases > Academic Search Complete
choose databases: includes Communication Abstracts, Film and Television Literature Index, Music Index, RILM Abstracts of Music, Art Source, etc.
1. Search keywords; split topic into concepts; allow for variant word endings
iran* (select a field - optional)
television (select a field - optional)
* = truncation symbol or wildcard; child* = child, childs, children, childish, childhood
2. Narrow search by using official subject terms (aka descriptors):
iran* (subject terms)
television (subject terms)
3. Narrow search by adding another term
iran* (subject terms)
television (subject terms)
policy (select a field - optional)
Find articles about Business:
Library home > Articles > Article databases by subject > Business > Business Source Complete
"latin america" (select a field - optional)
radio (select a field - optional)
"latin america" (subject)
radio (subject)
in the left sidebar, click on the Geography category, then check off latin america
Find Newspapers from all over the World: Access World News:
Library home > Articles > News Article databases > Access World News
(all text) "hong kong" and "music industry"
too broad? instead of searching the full text, search heading and lead paragraphs:
(headline and lead paragraph): "hong kong" and "music industry"
Library home > Articles > News Article databases > Lexis Nexis Academic
(larger and scarier than Access World News)
to find sources from a particular country/region, go to the top of the screen: browse
select a country; leave the other pull down at "all topics"
click on the News folder...etc.

Murdoch: I was cover-up victim
11:39am Thursday 26th April 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
News International bosses fell victim to a "cover-up" over the hacking scandal, Rupert Murdoch has told the Leveson Inquiry into press standards.
The media mogul said senior executives were not informed, or misinformed, and "shielded" from what was going on.
"I blame one or two people for that, who perhaps I shouldn't name because for all I know they may be arrested yet," he said.
"But there is no question in my mind that maybe even the editor, but certainly behind that, someone took charge of a cover-up which we were victim to and I regret."
Asked by counsel to the inquiry Robert Jay QC where the "cover-up" emanated from, the tycoon replied: "I think from within the News of the World. There were one or two very strong characters there who I think had been there many, many years and were friends of the journalists.
"The person I am thinking of was a friend of the journalists, drinking pal, and was a clever lawyer and forbade them to go and see the evidence, or there have been statements reporting that this person forbade people to go and report to Mrs Brooks or James (Murdoch). That is not to excuse it on our behalf at all, I take it extremely seriously that that situation had arisen."
"I have to admit that some newspapers are closer to my heart than others but I also have to say that I failed. And I am very sorry about it."
Mr Murdoch said he had not paid enough attention to the News of the World, probably "throughout all the time that we have owned it".
"I was more interested in the excitement of building a new newspaper and doing other things," he said. "All I can do is apologise to a lot of people, including all the innocent people in the News of the World who lost their jobs as a result of that."

Students from India's Heritage Institute Gain Hands-On Training at NJIT's Summer Research Experience Symposium
NEWARK, Oct 8 2008
NJIT conducted a summer research program in partnership with the Heritage Institute of Technology (HITK) in Kolkata, India. The 20 students enrolled in NJIT's Undergraduate Research Experience Symposium were able to participate in a state-of-the-art research facility with world-class faculty. They were accompanied by Srabanti Basu, a senior lecturer in biotechnology at HITK. The program was initiated and managed by Durga Misra, PhD, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at NJIT, who also encouraged the participation of faculty and the Albert Dorman Honors College students who mentored the HITK students after hours in their residence hall. "The Summer Research Experience is a rare opportunity to receive hands-on training with NJIT professors and students at the university's facilities," said Misra. "A group of three students worked in NJIT's new Vincent A. Stabile Systems Engineering and Management Laboratories to gain experience with the Stabile Laboratories' Festo System." Student research projects included low-power microchip design, drug delivery systems, nanoelectronics, ultrafiltration to scalable web search, clean slate Internet design and management systems analysis.

Imagine your child's school bus suddenly fills with smoke. Will the bus driver know what to do? Tyler Independent School District wanted to make sure their drivers could handle a situation like that, so they had a training day enacting this scenario and other emergencies.
Five days a year TISD bus drivers prepare for the worst, and one day a year they experience it. John Bagert, Director of Transportation for TISD, hopes they never have to use the training.
"We train all the time, and what this does is take that training into an actual application stage, so when this occurs in real life; there's an event, then it becomes second nature at that point," Bagert said.
Drivers were put through the paces, squeezing through narrow passages and backing into tricky spaces. Bus monitors like Lydia Martin got some training with a fire extinguisher and got familiar with a smoky bus.
"We got a chance to look at some films and get knowledgeable on fire, and got a chance to actually put out some fire, even though, even though my extinguisher ran out, but I still got a chance to put it out," Martin revealed.
The Tyler Fire Department used their training facilities to give the transportation department real experiences, like using their smoke machine on a school bus.
"It smelled like real plastic burning so it gave us a real sensation as to what is going on, so when we're on the bus with the kids we know what to smell and what to do and get them evacuated first. Actually I didn't know we were supposed to go left to right, and now I do know. Get the kids off left to right and that way I can get them off a lot safer," Martin said.
Employees also learned the proper way to cut a seat belt off, just in case.
"I feel like I will be more prepared to handle an emergency situation more so than I would have," Martin concluded.
No one can foresee all circumstances that may arise, but TISD has covered the basics to keep your children safe on the bus.
