For security reasons, passengers are asked to present for check-in 3 hours before their flight is scheduled to depart for Lima, Guayaquil, Bogota or Mexico City.

Jessee's Q & A
Who's your favorite sports team, and why?
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. It's become a really horrible team name, because I became a fan when I was a kid and they were the "California Angels." I grew up going to games with my uncle, which inspired me to play softball later on, and collect baseball cards.
What's your favorite movie quote?
From "Night at The Roxbury": when the bouncer asks the Butabi brothers: "Are you guys brothers?" and they respond, "Nooo... yyesss!"
What's your favorite video game, and could you kick our butts at it?
Street Fighter II - I could probably still kick some butt; I've been playing it since I was 9 years old.
Piercings/Tattoos (How many? Where?)
Just my ears and one on my belly button (that my mom tried to pull out the day I got it.)
What's the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
"Bye Bye Bye" by N*Sync
What's your best party trick?
Body shots
What's the most memorable pick-up line you've ever heard?
A guy whispered in my ear at a nightclub "I wear a size 12 shoe." I made him repeat himself because he was whispering at a nightclub!
What's the worst job you've ever had?
Working at a bikini pool hall was probably the worst job I've ever had. Reasons: catty girls and they only served beer (why not a full bar?!?)
What's the most dangerous thing you've ever done?
Once some random guy walked up to me outside a nightclub and asked for some gas and a ride to his truck. I took him to get gas (that I bought), then drove him to his truck one block away in a dark parking lot.
It's 4AM after a crazy night out – what are we eating?
Chicken soft tacos from Del Taco, complete with shredded cheese and sauce our faces.
What's the strangest thing in your fridge right now?
Filipino banana ketchup
What's the naughtiest thing you've ever done in public?
Take my panties off in a nightclub.
What do you feel sexiest wearing?
A long, slim tank top with no bra. It's like a really short dress, so you can see my silhouette and my bottom butt cheeks are exposed - I think it's hot.
Tell us a joke.
A mother and her young son were flying Southwest Airlines from Kansas City to Chicago . The little boy (who had been looking out the window) turned to his mother and asked, "If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?" The mother (who couldn't think of an answer) told her son to ask the flight attendant. So the boy went down the aisle and asked the flight attendant, "If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?" The busy flight attendant smiled and said, "Did your Mother tell you to ask me?" The boy said, "Yes, she did." "Well, then, you go and tell your mother that there are no baby planes because Southwest always pulls out on time. Have your mother explain that to you."

There is something special about a prestige cuvée that is truly a blend of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir. For many, it's what makes champagne, "champagne".
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that a 50/50 blend makes the "best" champagnes. Besides, most prestige cuvees are "close" to being a 50/50 blend so it's somewhat of a moot point.
But it is said that a perfectly even balance of CH and PN creates a unique tension in the mouth and in the wine.
I think if I was a cellar master, I would designate that my finest cuvée would always be an exact 50/50 blend each and every vintage. I think it would make the blending an interesting yet firmly stated challenge. If I had trouble doing that with a vintage champagne, then I might opt to make my prestige cuvée a blend of vintages a la Grand Siecle. I could then tinker with older vintages but always return to making sure it was precisely 50 CH and 50 PN.
Anyway, I found that only a few "big name" prestige cuvees are a perfect 50/50 blend (or so they are stated):
Heidsieck & Monopole Diamant Bleu for the years of 1995, 1996, 1998
Laurent-Perrier 90/93/95 Grand Siecle
1990 Dom Perignon Rose
1996 Dom Perignon
2000 Dom Perignon
Dom Perignon seems to pride itself on being "nearly" 50/50 every year. And it is always one of the most finely balanced champagnes, in my experience. Just a coincidence?
Perrier Jouet's famous Belle Epoque bottles are also "fixed" in their nearly even percentages every year except they always include 5% Pinot Meunier in the cuvée.

Blogger Bree Hester of Baked Bree shares her recipe for Hot Fudge Sundae Cupcakes. What could be more fun than a cupcake frosted with hot fudge topping, then topped with a dollop of whipped cream topping and a cherry? These cupcakes are simple, yet perfect for a bake sale or kids party. Kids and adults alike love the whimsical presentation. A cute presentation like this one also lends itself to many, many more cake flavor and topping combinations--butterscotch, strawberry, marshmallow and caramel are just a few topping suggestions.
If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes. Then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.
For a more authentic hot fudge sundae cupcake, add a scoop of ice cream.
How about peanut butter sundae cupcakes? Use any variety SuperMoist® chocolate cake and frost cupcakes with marshmallow topping. Top cupcakes with a dollop of whipped cream topping and sprinkle with candy-coated peanut butter pieces and Betty Crocker® Parlor Perfect™ chocolate sprinkles.

6 3/4 yards background fabric (this will be used for the backing as well)
First, cut your focus fabric. Trim off the selvage edges and square up the ends. The center panel measures 43" x 63".
Cut 2 pieces of 4" x 50". Sew to the top and the bottom of your center panel. Trim any excess. (there should be about 1/2" extra, depending on how exact your seam allowance is.) Press well.
The first border is complete.
Take 7 squares from the layer cake and cut each piece into 4 strips---each 2.5" wide, for a total of 28 strips. These will be for the next border. Mix up the fabrics so they will be placed randomly around the quilt.
Join 6 strips of fabric end to end. Make 2.
Attach these borders to the sides of the quilt first, centering them along the edge, cutting off the excess after sewing the border on.
Then attach the top and bottom borders, again centering them and then cutting off the excess.
Now, to finish off the quilt, cut 6" strips for the final border. I cut two pieces 53" x 6" for my quilt, but you will want to measure your own quilt top at this point.
I like to make a pieced backing for my quilts, so I added a little checkerboard to the top and the bottom of the quilt using more of the layer cake pieces. Of course you can skip this step and back the quilt with one fabric if you would like.
Attach to the checkerboard strips to the top and the bottom of the center panel.
Cut two more pieces of background fabric 11" x 68". Attach to the top and the bottom of the checkerboard strips.
Here's the front, complete:
And the back.
A two sided Christmas quilt that measures 64" x 88". Large enough to use on a twin sized bed or perfect for snuggling on the couch.

Most sources said containerized scrap prices for an 80/20 mix of No. 1 and No. 2 heavy melt to Taiwan dropped this week due to limited participation from buyers.

Just as I extolled the virtues of NFL passers in the Week 7 Preview, it turned out that this was a rather fair week to hit the ground running. Ten different runners gained at least 80 yards on the ground this week, some of whom were barely on the running back radar entering Week Seven. Scott Cullen looks at the week's noteworthy performances including Chris Johnson, Adrian Peterson, Drew Brees and more.
RISE OF THE TITAN It's been easy to get down on Titans RB Chris Johnson this season, considering he had been held under 55 yards from scrimmage in four of the first six games of the season but, after gaining 114 yards on 23 touches against the Steelers in Week Six, Johnson broke through for his best game of the season (18 carries, 195 yards, 2 TD) against Buffalo.
The day could have been even more spectacular, but backup Jamie Harper scored a pair of tochdowns, even though he ran for a total of eight yards on seven carries.
YO, ADRIAN Vikings RB Adrian Peterson has been remarkable this season, just by the mere fact that he's been able to contribute so soon after suffering a torn ACL in January, but he stormed to his best game of the season (23 carries, 153 YDS, 1 TD) in the win over the Arizona Cardinals, averaging 6.7 yards per carry against a Cardinals team that had allowed just 3.9 yards per carry going into the game.
MARSHAWN MARCHING Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch delivered (20 touches, 116 YDS) against San Francisco's stout run defence, the sixth time in seven games that he has accumulated at least 90 yards from scrimamge.
GORE BULLS HIS WAY TO BIG DAY Across the field from Lynch, 49ers RB Frank Gore was outstanding (21 touches, 182 YDS) against a Seattle run defence that was allowing just 70 yards per game on the ground. It was the fifth-highest yardage total in Gore's career, and highest since a September 20, 2009 win over Seattle.
RUNNING BILLS Buffalo couldn't hold their lead against Tennessee, but their running back duo of Fred Jackson (120 yards on 17 touches) and C.J. Spiller (102 yards, 18 touches) both gained more than 100 yards from scrimmage. It's tough to gauge which one will be the primary ball carrier but, at this point, both are productive enough to be valuable.
INTO THE PITT With news that Rashard Mendenhall and Isaac Redman would miss the game at Cincinnati, that presented Jonathan Dwyer with an opportunity to not only play, but produce and produce he did (17 carries, 122 YDS) against the Bengals. Baron Batch could be considered a challenger for touches, but with 38 yards on 18 carries (2.1 ypc), he hasn't shown enough to suggest that he could handle the starting job, even in the short-term.
COLT ACTION Though Vick Ballard didn't do much in his first game starting in place of Donald Brown, Ballard responded with a much better (103 yards on 21 touches) performance in his second start, against Cleveland. Brown may not be too far away from returning to the lineup, but Ballard's showing Sunday ought to give them more comfort that the running game isn't completely lost.
RUNNING IN BIG D Felix Jones was the marguee waiver wire addition in many league last week because of DeMarco Murray's foot injury. As it turned out Jones, who suffered a shoulder injury but returned to action, ended up splitting carries with Philip Tanner. Jones was the more productive (74 YDS, 20 touches) of the two, so he should hold value for at least as long as Murray remains out of the lineup.
CARD CARRIER The fourth man to get a chance to carry the mail for the Arizona Cardinals this season, LaRod Stephens-Howling, had a strong showing (20 carries, 104 YDS, 1 TD) against Minnesota's strong defence.
Stephens-Howling is undersized, but may be the best option (ahead of a cast of journeymen) for Arizona's running game going forward.
COOL BREES After another big-time (377 yards, 4 TD) game against Tampa Bay, Saints QB Drew Brees is hiding from the rest of the league in an admittedly pass-happy league, his 349.5 passing yards per game, 48.3 yards per game ahead of the second-most prolific passers, the Manning brothers, who are tied at 301.3 yards per game.
Brees is also averaging 3.0 touchdown passes per game, ahead of Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers (2.71) at the top of the chart.
With Brees in fine form, that helped Lance Moore (9 REC, 121 YDS) in his return to the lineup after a couple of weeks on the shelf. Moore is an underrated contributor, but ranks 14th in the league with 81.6 receiving yards per game.
While it's too soon to consider him fantasy-relevant, Saints WR Joseph Morgan is an intriguing threat that will be worth keeping an eye on if he stays healthy (he suffered a lung/rib injury in Sunday's game). He has three catches, the last two of which have been 80 and 48-yard touchdown receptions.
RGIII, AGAIN It's not a surprise anymore, but there's no escaping how dynamic Redskins rookie QB Robert Griffin III has been. In the last two weeks, he has rushed for 227 yards and two scores and is now on pace for 3659 passing yards and 1070 rushing yards this season. His 468 rushing yards ranks 12th in the league.
JETS TAKE TO THE AIR It's easy enough to get down on Jets QB Mark Sanchez, but he did pass for 328 yards and a touchdown against New England, connecting with WR Jeremy Kerley (7 REC, 120 YDS) and Dustin Keller (7 REC, 93 YDS, 1 TD) the most.
Kerley is averaging 62.1 receiving yards per game, the same as Baltimore's Torrey Smith. Keller is finally healthy and should be a primary target for Sanchez for the rest of the season.
THAT'S SO RAVEN With Ray Lewis out, take note of Ravens ILB Dannell Ellerbe, who registered a dozen total tackles against Houston. Ellerbe now has 43 total tackles on the season, leading Baltimore's healthy linebackers.
JAGS HURT Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew suffered a foot injury at Oakland Sunday, leaving Rashad Jennings to handle the running game and Jennings gained 102 yards from scrimmage on 28 touches (44 yards on 21 rushes, 58 yards on seven catches). Jones-Drew will miss at least a week, if not more, with the injury, so Jennings will get the opportunity that he thought was awaiting him when Jones-Drew was a holdout during training camp.
QB Blaine Gabbert didn't play in the second half at Oakland due to a shoulder injury, giving way to Chad Henne. Henne struggled (9-of-20 for 71 yards), but in the short-term doesn't figure to be any worse than Gabbert.
PACK MENTALITY Any early-season concerns about Green Bay's passing game seem to have diminished, or altogether evaporated, in the last two weeks. In the win at St. Louis, both Randall Cobb (108 yards, 9 touches, 2 TD) and Jordy Nelson (8 REC, 122 YDS, 1 TD) went over 100 yards from scrimmage and, along with James Jones, they have more than made up for the absence of Greg Jennings.
GIVEN A CHANCE Rams WR Chris Givens, starting in place of Danny Amendola contributed three catches for 73 yards against Green Bay. The fourth-round pick out of Wake forest has registered a catch of 50 yards or more in each of the last four games.
BUCS PASSING Maybe it has something to do with facing Kansas City and New Orleans defences but, suddenly, the Tampa Bay offence is starting to look more dangerous. QB Josh Freeeman has passed for 758 yards and six touchdowns in the last two weeks, with WR Vincent Jackson reaping the rewards. After his monster game (7 REC, 216 YDS, 1 TD) Sunday, Jackson now ranks fifth among wide receivers with 97.7 yards per game and is tied for fourth with five touchdowns.
PONDER THIS I argued in favour of Christian Ponder in last week's Three and Out, noting that Arizona's strong pass defence numbers could be attributed in large part to the subpar cast of quarterbacks they have faced. Unfotunately, after Ponder's worst game (8-for-17, 59 YDS, 1 TD, 2 INT) in the win over the Cardinals, he may not quite be ready to leave the subpar quarterbacks grouping.
WILD CARD While all the focus in the Arizona passing offence is on WR Larry Fitzgerald, that has provided the opportunity for Andre Roberts (7 REC, 103 YDS, 1 TD at Minnesota) to deliver in a supporting role. Through seven games, Fitzgerald has averaged 65.6 yards per game, with three touchdown catches while Roberts has 55.6 yards per game with five receiving touchdowns.
NEXT IN LINE With Brandon Bolden sidelined, Patriots RB Shane Vereen responded (eight carries, 49 yards) with a bigger role against the Jets.
BUSY BURFICT Bengals rookie OLB was active against Pittsburgh, registering 15 total tackles, 13 solo, in the Bengals' loss. He ranks third on the Bengals with 46 total tackles on the season.

Dear Lauri,
Last night I dreamed I had braces on all my teeth. I removed all the braces and half of my teeth came out along with my tongue. It looked like a creepy science experiment, but it all grew back instantly. The weirdest part was my tongue. It had all kinds of weird colors and stuff on it, and I put it in a large glass of fruit punch. So creepy! - Dave 36, Cleveland, OH
Lauri: Sounds like you're having a major communication issue. When any part of the mouth is brought to attention in a dream you can bet it is referring to something you have said recently. The braces suggest you have been trying to "straighten something out" verbally. But since your teeth and your tongue all came out in the dream, you must have said a lot of things that you wish you could take back and put back in. Placing your tongue in fruit punch seems like a totally random and bizarre thing to do but I think it reflects that, after this communication, you felt like you were "punched." But fear not, your dream is giving you good news despite the embarrassment you must have experienced. It all grew back instantly, meaning that you'll bounce back just fine. You have, "saved face," so to speak.
Dave Replies: Yesterday I called me ex, told him I was sorry and asked him to take me back, etc. It was a stupid move. This makes sense. Thank you.

The popular wine known as "Two-Buck Chuck" will need a new name after the bargain beverage's price was raised.
The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports that over the past decade shoppers at Trader Joe's California stores paid $1.99 for a bottle of Charles Shaw shiraz or cabernet sauvignon.
The niche grocery market even refers to the "Two-Buck Chuck" name on its website in a description for the Charles Shaw Chardonnay.
The new $2.49 price tag had shoppers searching for new names. Some customers joked that the brand should now be called "Inflation Chuck" or "Upchuck."
Trader Joe's sold about 5 million cases of the wine last year.
The maker, Bronco Wine Co., said it was able to keep the price so low because it owns 45,000 acres of vineyard, which insulated it from large fluctuations in grape prices.
But bad crops in 2011 and 2012 impacted the price.

Cara, I'm so glad you were able to check in. I hope that the power stays on, but if not, I'm glad y'all are able to come here to get out of the main storm.
I really hope that NO does better than they're predicting. I fell in love with the city after going this past January and DH and I had planned on going back every January for our Christmas present to each other. I've been glued to Fox and Weather Channel just watching to see what's happening. I'll be praying for your family and hoping that NO is spared(along with the rest of the Coast).
Keep us posted on how things are going in BR, Cara. I had thought about calling you today to find out if y'all were doing ok, but figured you had enough to deal with today. Glad you were able to check in.
I'll let everyone know how it goes here.

On his Green Bay radio show this week, James Jones was asked how he'll feel seeing Greg Jennings on Sunday Night Football. That's Johnathan Franklin at left by the way. Of course he's looking forward to seeing him, but doesn't want him to have a big day.
Then it got funny. Seems the Jones' and the Jennings' spent some time Facetiming this week. Hear about it in this video.

Peter Thomas Roth: Travel Favorites : Oily
Peter Thomas Roth
Peter Thomas Roth's passion for skin care is derived from his quest to find effective products to treat his own personal skin care concerns. Initially his primary issue was acne and as time went on anti-aging issues as well. His interests eventually grew into a desire to find the best tools to combat acne, the many signs of aging, as well as protecting the skin from sun damage. His mission: to combine effective and potent ingredients with advanced technology.
As the first generation child of Hungarian parents, skin care is an inherent part of Peter's heritage. During the 1800s and early 1900s, Peter's family owned and operated two spa resorts in Hungary. When Peter launched his company in 1993, he started with the basic soothing and healing philosophies of the many muds and minerals found in Hungarian thermal springs. While still giving credit to old-school remedies, Peter now uses the latest innovative and effective ingredients to improve on the formulas blending old Hungarian philosophies with 21st century skin care technologies to create effective skin care that does what it promises to do!

Peter Thomas Roth Customer Reviewsnice product - 9/22/2014 1:14:16 PM I used Obagi, and EstrogC sp? and decided to try something new. I disagree with some reviewers that packaging is bad. I found it just fine. It is absorbing quickly. I cannot testify for an effect, it was less than a month. I have no irritation (I use retinol every day, so I have some tolerance).Best lightweight oil - 9/7/2014 9:16:44 AM Better than other oils on the market, absorbs quickly, no smell. I use it all over body particularly on hands and cuticles. Hope it is not discontinued.Nice for nighttime - 9/5/2014 2:03:53 AM I haven't tried this over a lip color, but instead keep this by the bedside and apply a thick layer before sleep. In the morning my lips are soft and supple and they stay that way for several hours. A little goes a long way, so it's a great value, too.wonderful, instant results - 9/4/2014 10:01:06 AM I've never used anything like this. It goes on easy & starts "pilling" (away the dead skin,I assume) as you massage it on your face. Then just rinse & see instant glow! I use it about 3x per week, after using retinol the night before. The retinol sort of leaves a dullness that this product lifts right away. I love it & will use it forever. My daily serum & other products seem to go on much better after using this.Amazing Product - 8/18/2014 12:03:55 PM I received a sample of this and was amazed when I tried it. Had a little problem with the flaking but I think because I used the sample several times and it was drying out. I immediately ran out and bought the full size. I put it on and walked out of the room and my husband said "Wow - you look so young" (I kid you not - he said this). I now have to try the rest of his products. ps My skin is a mess with scars - this product smooths everything out!UNBELIEVABLE!! - 8/17/2014 11:02:40 AM I just used a sample that I received with another product. THIS is the BOMB!! I can't believe how well it works! Will definitely buy the product, and can't thank you enough for the sample! I would not, however, recommend it for around the eye...it is that powerful and will draw the skin around the eye down.It works! - 8/13/2014 6:56:07 PM Under eyes completely smooth and translucent. Tried this product in my forties, so-so, twenty years later and WOW.Face Lift - 8/7/2014 8:25:44 AM I have found it to be the new fountain of youth-it tightens the skin-but you must be careful not to put too much because it will flake when you put your make up on-so what I have been doing is mixing it with a cream that I put on and it works better that way for me anyway. Bottom line-it works and I won't be without it-it's a face lift in a tube.Not this best... - 8/1/2014 8:51:26 AM I really wanted to like this SPF, and after having read all of the glowing reviews, I thought that it would be the perfect one for my combination skin...I was wrong. It feels quite tacky on my skin and gives it a bit of a greasy look. I don't mind "dewy", but this makes it downright shiny. I did finally find one that I LOVE, and it's also a PTR product; Ultra-light oil-free SPF 30. It's the perfect amount of moisture and SPF, and while my skin has that fresh, dewy look, it's smooth and absorbs everything so it doesn't have that tacky feel.Loved it had to find it on the net - 7/27/2014 7:22:25 PM While we were in Chi-town , at the Drake Hotel, this product was there , we, my husband and I used it , loved it , have to get some for home.

Suicide bombing kills Turkish guard at US Embassy in what Washington calls a terrorist attack
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) -- In the second deadly assault on a U.S. diplomatic post in five months, a suicide bomber struck the American Embassy in Ankara on Friday, killing a Turkish security guard in what the White House described as a terrorist attack.
Washington immediately warned Americans to stay away from all U.S. diplomatic facilities in Turkey and to be wary in large crowds.
Turkish officials said the bombing was linked to leftist domestic militants.
The attack drew condemnation from Turkey, the U.S., Britain and other nations and officials from both Turkey and the U.S. pledged to work together to fight terrorism.
"We strongly condemn what was a suicide attack against our embassy in Ankara, which took place at the embassy's outer security perimeter," said White House spokesman Jay Carney.
Jobs report pushes stocks higher, with Dow closing above 14,000 mark
NEW YORK (AP) -- The Dow closed above 14,000 on Friday for the first time in more than five years.
It was just a number on a board, but it was enough to raise the hopes of some investors and cause others concern about an overheated market. And it brought reminders of a different era, back before the financial crisis rocked the world economy.
The Dow Jones industrial average, a stock market index that is traditionally considered a benchmark for how the entire market is faring, had been rising fairly steadily for about a month. On Friday, strong auto sales and optimism about U.S. job growth pushed it over the mark. The Dow is now just 155 points away from its record close.
"There's a newfound enthusiasm for the equity market," said Jim Russell, regional investment director at U.S. Bank Wealth Management in Minneapolis.
But market watchers were divided over what the Dow milestone -- or even what a potential new all-time high -- really means. To some, it's an important booster to hearts and minds, making investors feel optimistic and thus more willing to bet on the market.
Birth-control coverage: Obama administration offers faith groups new accommodation on mandate
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Facing a wave of lawsuits over what government can tell religious groups to do, the Obama administration on Friday proposed a compromise for faith-based nonprofits that object to covering birth control in their employee health plans.
Some of the lawsuits appear headed for the Supreme Court, threatening another divisive legal battle over President Barack Obama's health care overhaul law, which requires most employers to cover birth control free of charge to female workers as a preventive service. The law exempted churches and other houses of worship, but religious charities, universities, hospitals and even some for-profit businesses have objected.
The government's new offer, in a proposed regulation, has two parts.
Administration officials said it would more simply define the religious organizations that are exempt from the requirement altogether. For example, a mosque whose food pantry serves the whole community would not have to comply.
For other religious employers, the proposal attempts to create a buffer between them and contraception coverage. Female employees would still have free access through insurers or a third party, but the employer would not have to arrange for the coverage or pay for it. Insurers would be reimbursed for any costs by a credit against fees owed the government.
Mayhem outside Morsi's palace as Egypt protesters clash with police, 1 person killed
CAIRO (AP) -- Protesters denouncing Egypt's Islamist president hurled stones and firebombs through the gates of his palace gates on Friday, clashing with security forces who fired tear gas and water cannons, as more than a week of political violence came to Mohammed Morsi's symbolic doorstep for the first time.
The streets outside the presidential palace were a scene of mayhem for hours into the night.
Security forces pumped volley after volley of tear gas, set fire to protester tents and at one point dragged a protester to the ground, stripped him and beat him. Protesters burned tires and hurled stones and fireworks. A 23-year-old died when he was shot in the chest and forehead, the Health Ministry said.
The march on the palace, where Morsi was not present, was part of a wave of demonstrations in cities around the country called by opposition politicians, trying to wrest concessions from Morsi after around 60 people were killed in protests, clashes and riots.
But many of the protesters go further, saying he must be removed from office, accusing his Muslim Brotherhood of monopolizing power and failing to deal with the country's mounting woes. Many have been further angered by Morsi's praise of the security forces after the high death toll, which is widely blamed on excessive use of force by the police.
SUPER BOWL WATCH: Katrina, $100M coin flip, Cruz on Lewis' squirrel dance, fans on Goodell
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Around the Super Bowl and its host city with journalists from The Associated Press bringing the flavor and details of everything surrounding the game:
One of the liveliest debates this weekend in New Orleans could be not about the Super Bowl itself, but on whether late Baltimore Ravens owner Art Modell should be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of fame.
In Cleveland, many fans haven't forgiven Modell for deciding to relocate his Browns franchise to Baltimore 17 years ago. But his supporters contend he helped create America's most popular sport.
Clinton's last day: Resignation, farewell to staff, disappointment at critics; Kerry sworn in
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Hillary Rodham Clinton formally resigned Friday as America's secretary of state, capping a four-year tenure that saw her shatter records for the number of countries visited. John Kerry was sworn in to replace her.
In a letter sent to President Barack Obama shortly before she left the State Department for the last time in her official capacity, Clinton thanked her former opponent for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination for the opportunity to serve in his administration. Clinton said it had been an honor to be part of his Cabinet.
"I am more convinced than ever in the strength and staying power of America's global leadership and our capacity to be a force for good in the world," she said in the letter.
Her resignation became effective at 4 p.m. EST, when Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan swore in John Kerry as the top U.S. diplomat. The former Massachusetts senator and 2004 presidential candidate is the 68th secretary of state.
"I'm just very, very honored to be sworn in and I'm very anxious to get to work," Kerry told reporters after the private ceremony at the Capitol. "I'll be reporting Monday morning at 9 o'clock to do my part," he said, but he refused to say what global hotspot he would visit first.
Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan to retire after nearly 30 years with agency
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan announced his retirement Friday, bringing to a close a turbulent period for the law enforcement agency that included a South American prostitution scandal and a pair of White House gate-crashers.
In nearly seven years as director, Sullivan had to answer serious questions from lawmakers on two occasions about his employees' actions on the job and off.
Last May, in testimony before Congress, Sullivan apologized for the conduct of Secret Service employees caught in a prostitution scandal in Colombia. Thirteen agents and officers were implicated after an agent argued with a prostitute over payment in a hotel hallway in Cartagena, Colombia.
The employees were in the Caribbean resort city in advance of President Barack Obama's arrival for a South American summit in April. After a night of heavy partying in some of Cartagena's bars and clubs, the employees brought women, including prostitutes, back to their hotel. Eight of those Secret Service employees were forced out of the agency, three were cleared of serious misconduct and at least two were fighting to get their jobs back.
The incident prompted Sullivan to issue a new code of conduct that barred employees from drinking within 10 hours of the start of a shift and from bringing foreigners to their hotel rooms
Twitter says hackers gain access to 250,000 user accounts in latest cyber security breach
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- In the latest online attack, Twitter said Friday that hackers may have gained access to information on a quarter of a million of its more than 200 million active users.
The social media giant said in a blog posting that earlier this week it detected attempts to gain access to its user data. It shut down one attack moments after it was detected.
But it discovered that the attackers may have gained access to usernames, email addresses and encrypted passwords belonging to 250,000 users. Twitter has reset the pilfered passwords and sent emails advising users that they'll have to create a new one.
"This attack was not the work of amateurs, and we do not believe it was an isolated incident. The attackers were extremely sophisticated, and we believe other companies and organizations have also been recently similarly attacked," the blog said. "For that reason we felt that it was important to publicize this attack while we still gather information, and we are helping government and federal law enforcement in their effort to find and prosecute these attackers to make the Internet safer for all users."
The hack is the latest high-profile cyber-attack on U.S. media and technology companies recently. The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal reported this week that their computer systems had been infiltrated by China-based hackers.
Barney, President George W. Bush's Scottish terrier who starred in 'Barney-cam' videos, dies
DALLAS (AP) -- Thanks to a tiny video camera on his collar, Barney offered a dog-level holiday tour of the White House in 2002 while shuffling from room to room and menacing the Christmas tree.
The video starring President George W. Bush's black Scottish terrier was a hit, drawing 24 million online tourists the first day. It also helped reopen the White House after it was closed to tourists the previous holiday season following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Bush and his wife, Laura, released a statement Friday saying their famous 12-year-old pooch had died after suffering from lymphatic cancer.
"Barney was by my side during our eight years in the White House," Bush said. "He never discussed politics and was always a faithful friend. Laura and I will miss our pal."
With public access to the White House more restricted in the aftermath of 9/11, first lady Laura Bush sent Barney out to prowl the building with the camera. Barney Cam's 4.5-minute video tour of the mansion decorations was such a hit that his movies became an annual feature for the rest of Bush's presidency.
Now on opposite sidelines in the Super Bowl, Harbaugh brothers wouldn't mind working together
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Working separately, John and Jim Harbaugh each guided their team to the Super Bowl. They will be on opposite sidelines Sunday, John as head coach of the Baltimore Ravens and Jim with the San Francisco 49ers.
Imagine how effective they could be if working together.
At their joint news conference Friday, someone asked the brothers if they would consider teaming up if either should be forced out of his current post.
"No question about it," John said. "We've had that conversation in the past. It just never really worked out timing-wise. I'd love to work for Jim. It would be the greatest thing in the world."
Jim, coach of the San Francisco 49ers, said, "Definitely, I would work for him."

One man is dead after officials say he fell off of a truck bed.
By LISA CORNWELLAssociated Press
CINCINNATI (AP) - Military veterans eligible to claim Ohio bonuses of up to $1,500 are running out of time. And veterans officials are worried thousands of veterans may miss out.
Ohio voters in 2009 approved a $200 million bond issue to fund bonuses for veterans of the Persian Gulf, Afghanistan and Iraq war eras. The Persian Gulf-era application deadline is Dec. 31. And state and county officials urge veterans not to wait since some time is needed to verify and process applications.
They say over $55.7 million has been paid to more than 66,000 veterans or family members for all three bonus periods since August 2010. But officials say there could be as many as 90,000 who haven't applied, including probably several thousand from the Persian Gulf era.

When they applied for a SAMHSA Campus Suicide Prevention Grant for Tufts University, Michelle Bowdler, M.S.P.H., and Bonnie Lipton, M.P.H., already had cultural competency on their minds.
"As an institution, Tufts really values diversity," said Ms. Bowdler, Senior Director of Health and Wellness Services. The university operates six culture centers:
Each center has a full-time director.
Tufts University students celebrate "Mental Health Awareness Week."
"When we wrote the grant proposal, we informed the center directors about our plans for cultural competency focus groups," said Ms. Lipton, Program Coordinator and Evaluator for Tufts Community Cares. "We asked them what mental health topics would resonate with their students."
In spring 2009, Tufts held focus groups with each center, speaking to more than 50 students in total.
"We wanted to learn more about what mental health issues students are facing, how they cope, who they turn to for help, and what else the university can do to help," Ms. Lipton said.
Focus group questions related to five different areas:
All six groups discussed how much stress students experience. "Tufts is a rigorous school, so the students are under a lot of academic stress," Ms. Lipton said. "They also may feel they need to compete with their classmates."
As a result of this feedback, Tufts Community Cares sponsored stress management sessions at the Africana Center during finals in fall 2009. More sessions are planned, focusing on ways students can take better care of themselves, such as getting enough sleep and reducing barriers to asking for help.
"The focus groups allowed us to talk to students about what their culture, race, ethnicity, or religion might lead them to think about mental health care," Ms. Bowdler said. "That information is helping us to create programs and products that will be effective for suicide prevention."
For example, the Latino Center will hold a discussion with first-generation students about their experiences. Planning is under way for discussions open to all first-generation students at Tufts.
In addition, some members of the Asian American focus group expressed concern about how positive and negative stereotypes affect them. A general presentation and another focusing on women's mental health will be held in spring 2010.
The focus groups had another positive effect on the students. In their evaluations, many students indicated that the discussion helped make them more willing to talk to someone.
Ms. Bowdler feels that Tufts is on the right track. "The simple act of inquiring how to respond to the needs of a specific community helps people feel more comfortable asking for help."

With terror striking the Boston Marathon, many wonder how safe it is to attend other major sporting events, especially here in metro Detroit where our teams draw huge crowds.
For example, the Big House in Ann Arbor is the largest sports venue in the country. And in a post 9-11 world, security here is always on high alert.
Chief Joe Piersante of U-M police told Fox 2, "We work very closely with all our law-enforcement parties, including the federal agencies, the State Police, the County Sheriff's Department, and the Ann Arbor Police Department. And that includes the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security."
In 2011, on the eve of the 10th anniversary of 9/11, Michigan played in their first ever nighttime game against Notre Dame, heightening security even further.
"We had a sell-out crowd. We know that we have the largest venus in the U.S., those are things that keep me up at night. But we do the best we can to maintain a safe and secure environment for our fans at the stadium. We bring all the resources we consider necessary in for game-day safety," added Chief Piersante.
Sporting events have long been a target for an attack. A Red Wings practice on Tuesday, players talk about how they feel when they walk into the arena.
Goalie Jimmy Howard told us, "It almost gives you the feeling that you can't do anything anymore. And it's a terrible feeling to have, but the Americans that we are, its always have the comradery, and everyone helping each other [at the Boston Marathon] is great to see."
Head Coach Mike Babcock adds, "Part of living in the free part of the world, is there's going to be some things that go wrong. In saying all that though, is, you can't let people - I don't believe anyway - get in the way of what you like to do. And our thoughts and prayers go out to the families involved, it's a sickening, sickening thing. I assume they're going to really heighten security now. You like to think things like this will never happen again, but you and I both know they will, and it's sad."
Security in closed stadiums, such as the Joe Louis arena or the Big House, is more controlled than parade-like events outdoors, as in the Boston Marathon. Here in Detroit, the Free Press Marathon is six months away, and organizers are taking precautions to keep you safe.
"Once we know more about the Boston situation, we will really work with those entities to assess whether we should make any changes to our run," says the Executive Race Director, Rich Harshbarged.

Boks leapfrog Wallabies
France's resounding victory over Australia was more than mere payback for a run of defeats stretching back to 2005 - it has also given Les Bleus a head start in the race to Rugby World Cup 2015.
The 33-6 win at Stade de France on Saturday evening ended a five-match losing sequence against the tourists and lifts the Frenchmen to the coveted fourth spot in the IRB World Rankings. That defeat has also cost Australia one place on the rankings as the Wallabies fall below South Africa into third position.
On 3 December, the rankings will determine the seedings for the 12 directly qualified teams for England 2015. The teams ranked one to four will be kept apart at the pool stage, which makes the battle for a top-four spot especially relevant.
England is the team to suffer most from France's win as it falls out of the top four. Stuart Lancaster's men were convincing in their victory over Fiji but did not benefit on the rankings table due to the sizable gap that exists between the two teams. Victory over teams ranked lower on the table are not as valuable as those against relatively stronger sides.
With plenty more international action coming up over the coming weeks, there will be ample opportunity for teams to make improvements on the IRB World Rankings table. France host Argentina in Paris on Saturday while England welcome Australia to Twickenham on the same day.
Further down the rankings, Ireland slipped one place to eighth after losing to South Africa in Dublin while Argentina made the most of beating Wales in Cardiff by progressing one place to seventh.
A comprehensive 42-12 victory over Canada in the IRB International Rugby Series in Colwyn Bay on Friday consolidated Samoa's position in 10th, while the USA (17th) notched a 40-26 away win over Russia to send them down one place to 20th.
Japan's 34-23 win over Romania in Bucharest, meanwhile, lifts them one place to 15th.
IRB Rankings
1 New Zealand 92.91
2 South Africa 85.50
3 Australia 84.82
4 France 84.58
5 England 83.09
6 Wales 80.60
7 Argentina 80.29
8 Ireland 79.04
9 Scotland 77.97
10 Samoa 77.14
11 Italy 76.61
12 Tonga 74.22
13 Canada 71.39
14 Fiji 70.60
15 Japan 68.89
16 Georgia 67.95
18 Romania 63.58
19 Spain 61.63
20 Russia 61.51
As was the case for the RWC 2011 draw, the 2015 draw will include the 12 directly qualified teams (the top three teams in each RWC 2011 pool). Those teams will be split into three bands according to their position in the IRB World Rankings as of 12 midday (GMT) on December 3.
If the draw happened today:
Band 1: New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, France (currently 1-4 in IRB World Rankings)
Band 2: England, Wales, Argentina, Ireland (currently 5-8 in IRB World Rankings)
Band 3: Scotland, Samoa, Italy, Tonga (remaining four automatically qualified teams in order of rankings position)
The eight qualifying places will be allocated into the other two bands as follows:
Band 4: Oceania 1, Europe 1, Asia 1, Americas 1
Band 5: Africa 1, Europe 2, Americas 2, Repechage winner
Please note that the impact on the rankings can only be predicted for one round of matches at a time. The impact of future results cannot predicted until the week of those matches.
With thanks to the IRB
