ABC News - Vatican installs new chimney ahead of pope vote, Mar 09, 2013

"The Vatican has installed a special chimney on the Sistine Chapel from which white smoke will signal the election of a new leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics as cardinals prepare for the centuries-old tradition starting on Tuesday. The conclave of 115 cardinal electors will be held under Michelangelo's famous frescoes to choose the 266th pope, after the ageing Benedict XVI became the first pope to resign since the Middle Ages saying he wanted to be "a simple pilgrim" again. French cardinal Andre Vingt-Trois, the Archbishop of Paris, said there were about "half a dozen possible candidates"."

Sailor dies in rough seas during California race, Mar 09, 2013

"SAN DIEGO, Calif. — One sailor died and five others were rescued after abandoning a racing boat that lost its steering capability and drifted to an island off southern California, where it was broken apart by crashing waves. The crew issued a mayday call Friday night after the nine-metre sailboat’s rudder failed and the craft began drifting toward the rocky shore of San Clemente Island, said the U.S. Coast Guard. The crew declined assistance from the coast guard and requested a towboat. However, 2.5-metre swells and strong winds kept that boat from reaching them. An organizer of the Islands Race says the crew encountered more bad luck when attempts to deploy a life-raft and anchor the boat failed. © Copyright (c) The Province"

THE ATLANTIC - We're Screwed: 11,000 Years' Worth of Climate Data Prove It, Mar 09, 2013

"Back in 1999 Penn State climate scientist Michael Mann released the climate change movement's most potent symbol: The "hockey stick," a line graph of global temperature over the last 1,500 years that shows an unmistakable, massive uptick in the twentieth century when humans began to dump large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. It's among the most compelling bits of proof out there that human beings are behind global warming, and as such has become a target on Mann's back for climate denialists looking to draw a bead on scientists.
