Yemen: 2 militants killed in US airstrike
SANAA, Yemen (AP) ? Yemeni security officials say a U.S. drone airstrike has killed two al-Qaida militants in a southern town.
They said one was a midlevel al-Qaida Yemeni operative who escaped a U.S. drone attack 10 years ago. The other was said to be a Jordanian.
The officials said Monday's airstrike on Radda in Bayda province also critically injured three militants.
The Yemeni militant, Abdel-Raouf Naseeb, escaped death in the first recorded drone attack in Yemen, on Nov. 3, 2002. That strike killed Abu Ali al-Harithi, suspected of masterminding the October 2000 attack against the USS Cole warship in a Yemen port.
A member of the Naseeb family confirmed his death to The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity fearing government reprisal.
The security officials also requested anonymity according to regulations.

VATICAN CITY (AP) ? Pope Benedict XVI marked Christmas Eve with Mass in St. Peter's Basilica and a pressing question: Will people find room in their hectic, technology-driven lives for children, the poor and God?
The pontiff also prayed that Israelis and Palestinians live in peace and freedom, and asked the faithful to pray for strife-torn Syria as well as Lebanon and Iraq.
The ceremony began at 10 p.m. local time Monday with the blare of trumpets, meant to symbolize Christian joy over the news of Christ's birth in Bethlehem. As midnight neared, chuch bells tolled throughout Rome, while inside the basilica, the sweet voices of the Vatican's boys' choir resounded joyously.
Christmas Eve Mass at the Vatican traditionally began at midnight, but the start time was moved up years ago so as to give the 85-year-old pontiff more time to rest before his Christmas Day speech. That address is to be delivered at midday Tuesday from the basilica's central balcony.
A smiling Benedict, dressed in gold-colored vestments, waved to photo-snapping pilgrims and applauding church-goers as he glided up the center aisle toward the ornate main altar of the cavernous basilica on a wheeled platform guided by white-gloved aides. The platform saves him energy.
In his homily, Benedict cited the Gospel account of Mary and Joseph finding no room at an inn and ending up in a stable which sheltered the baby Jesus. He urged people to reflect upon what they find time for in their busy, technology-driven lives.
"The great moral question of our attitude toward the homeless, toward refugees and migrants takes on a deeper dimension: Do we really have room for God when he seeks to enter under our roof? Do we have time and space for him?" the pope said.
"The faster we can move, the more efficient our time-saving appliances become, the less time we have. And God? The question of God never seems urgent," Benedict lamented.
The pope worried that "we are so 'full' of ourselves that there is no room left for God." He added, "that means there is no room for others either ? for children, for the poor, for the stranger."
With his voice a bit hoarse, and looking somewhat tired as the two-hour ceremony neared its end, Benedict decried that history has suffered through "misuse of religion," when belief in one God became a pretext for intolerance and violence. Still, he insisted that where God is "forgotten or even denied, there is no peace either."
"Let us pray that Israelis and Palestinians be able to live their lives in the peace of the one God and in freedom," the pope said.
Benedict also mentioned his hope for progress in Syria, which is mired in civil war, as well as Lebanon and Iraq.
Reflecting the Vatican's concern about the exodus of many fearful Christians from the Muslim-dominated Middle East, Benedict expressed hope that "Christians in those lands where our faith was born maybe be able to continue living there" and that Christians and Muslims "build up their countries side by side in God's peace."
Hours before the basilica Mass, Benedict lit a Christmas peace candle on the windowsill of his studio window overlooking St. Peter's Square.

Freshmen Shine in Season Opener - Yale Bulldogs
December 9, 2012
Four Bulldogs Add Their Names to Yale Record Lists
NEW HAVEN, Conn. ? The Yale women's track and field team competed in its first meet of the year on Saturday at Coxe Cage. Though the meet was unscored, the Bulldogs did not hold anything back from competition, as six won their events and four added their names to the Yale record lists. In particular, the freshmen class turned in several solid performances for the Bulldogs.
Perhaps the most outstanding result by a freshman was posted by Karleh Wilson, who claimed first in the shot put as well as fifth all-time at Yale in her first collegiate competition. Her heave of 39'6.5" (12.05m) bested the rest of the field by three feet and established Wilson as a member of the class of 2016 to watch. Senior Antonia Renker also won a field event: she heaved the weight 46'1.5" (14.06m) to place first in the weight throw.
The rest of Yale's wins came in the middle and long distance events. Freshman Shannon McDonnell won the 1,000-meter run in 3:01.46 and freshman Elizabeth McDonald won the 3,000-meter in 10:29.30. Sophomore Anna Demaree placed first in the 5,000-meter run in 17:45.02 after an abbreviated rest from cross country season. Senior Annelies Gamble won the one mile run by 10 seconds as she finished in 5:04.75.
Sophomore Alisha Jordan set a collegiate record in the triple jump with a leap of 38'11" (11.40m). Her second-place effort was also good enough to place her eighth on Yale's all-time list in the event. Junior Kristen Proe was fourth in the triple jump in 34'10.25" (10.62m).
Senior captain Allison Rue also climbed the Yale record list with her personal record of 1:16.47 in the 500-meter dash. She was second in the event and is now sixth all-time at Yale.
Another freshman wrote her name in the record book on Saturday. Renee Vogel was third in the pole vault with a leap of 10'4" (3.15m), which is the sixth-best mark ever posted by a Yale athlete. Junior Emily Urciuoli was second in the pole vault at 10'10" (Urciuoli is third all-time).
Junior Amanda Snajder was third in the long jump with a jump of 17'1.5" (5.22m). She was also eighth in the 60-meter hurdles in 9.64. Senior Dakota McCoy lead Yale in the hurdles with a fourth-place finish. Her time of 9.49 put her just ahead of fifth-place sophomore Emily Cable in 9.52.
Freshman Sydney Cureton was fourth in the 60-meter dash. She survived a field of 25 athletes, posting a time of 8.07 to advance from her heat to the finals. Cureton shaved 0.10 seconds off her time to finish in 7.97 while her first time would have left her tied for sixth in the final. Cureton also finished ninth in the 200-meter dash (26.44).
Another freshman jumper competed well on Saturday: freshman Megan Toon. She posted a mark of 4'11" (1.5m) to finish fourth as Yale's lone competitor in the event.
The Bulldogs will be back in action on Jan. 12, when they host the Yale Invitational at Coxe Cage.

10 Smart Tips For Remodeling Your Bathroom
Big items like the vanity top and special-order tile can take several weeks to arrive. So be patient: Before you take a hammer or Sawzall to you bathroom, make sure everything you're going to need? including the vanity, plumbing fixtures, any new lighting, the tub, and tile?is on hand. You might get frustrated waiting around for parts to arrive, but it's better than tearing up your fixtures and having an unusable bathroom until the components arrive. Plus, when your new products are on hand, you'll know if you need to do extra work, such as moving the plumbing lines for the sink location or running new cable for your lights, before you rip up and then patch the walls.
