YAHOO News - sraeli leader backs out of Mandela funeral, Dec 09, 2013

 "JERUSALEM (AP) — Fresh off a series of scandals over his high-flying lifestyle and expensive habits, Israel's prime minister says he will skip Nelson Mandela's funeral on Tuesday due to the high cost of the trip. Related Stories Israeli top leaders not attending Mandela funeral Reuters Israel leaders hail Mandela as builder of peace AFP Netanyahu missing Mandela memorial for cost reasons AFP Palestinians remember Mandela as an inspiration Associated Press Mood music mixed after Palestinians hold talks with Kerry Reuters Benjamin Netanyahu's decision stood in contrast to the mad rush by world leaders to attend the event, and seemed to underscore the embattled Israeli leader's isolation on the world stage. Nearly 100 heads of state, along with tens of thousands of mourners, are expected at the memorial in a Soweto soccer stadium."

Yahoo News - NASA: Ancient Martian lake may have supported life, Dec 09, 2013

 "LOS ANGELES (AP) — NASA's Curiosity rover has uncovered signs of an ancient freshwater lake on Mars that may have teemed with tiny organisms for tens of millions of years, far longer than scientists had imagined, new research suggests. The watering hole near the Martian equator existed about 3.5 billion years ago. Scientists say it was neither salty nor acidic, and contained nutrients — a perfect spot to support microbes. "This just looks like a pretty darn ordinary Earth-like lake in terms of its chemistry," said project scientist John Grotzinger of the California Institute of Technology. "If you were desperate, you could have a drink of this stuff."
