Cardinals ''This is a great historical moment but we have hold final got to do it properly, and I think that's why there talks amid isn't a real rush to get into things,'' Cardinal Wilfrid debate over Fox Napier from South Africa said as he left the manager or session Monday. pastoral pope New pontiff VATICAN CITY (AP) — Cardinals enter the faces raft of Sistine Chapel on Tuesday to elect the next pope challenges amid more upheaval and uncertainty than the Catholic Church has seen in decades: There's no front-runner, no indication how long voting will last and no sense that a single man has what it takes to fix the church's many problems. On the eve of the vote, cardinals offered wildly different assessments of what they're looking for in a pope and how close they are to a decision. It was evidence that Benedict XVI's surprise resignation has continued to destabilize the church leadership and that his final appeal for unity may go unheeded, at least in the early rounds of voting. Still, the buzz in the papal stakes swirled around Cardinal Angelo Scola, an Italian seen as favored by cardinals hoping to shake up the powerful Vatican bureaucracy, and Brazilian Cardinal Odilo Scherer, a favorite of Vatican-based insiders intent on preserving the status quo. Cardinals held their final closed-door debate Monday over whether the church needs more of a manager to clean up the Vatican's bureaucratic mess or a pastor to inspire the 1.2 billion faithful in times of crisis. The fact that not everyone got a chance to speak was a clear indication that there's still unfinished business going into the 3A Custom Designs Signs Wraps Auto Glass Car Alarm Window Tinting Car & Marine Audio www.arauz_3A@me.com Join us at; arauz_3A@me.com 448 Antelope Blvd., Ste 38 530•351•8180 Respecting People.

Main Street www.expresspros.com VATICAN CITY (AP) — The moment Cardinal Albino Luciani learned his colleagues had elected him pope, he responded: ''May God forgive you for what you've done.'' The remark, by the man who became Pope John Paul I, was seen as an expression of humility — but also a commentary on the mammoth task ahead. There is no job like that of pope. He is the CEO of a global enterprise, head of state, a moral voice in the world and, in the eyes of Roman Catholics, Christ's representative on earth. And the man who emerges as pontiff from the conclave starting Tuesday has a particularly crushing to-do list. Judge strikes down NYC's sugary-drinks size rule NEW YORK (AP) — A judge struck down New York City's ban on big sugary drinks Monday just hours before it was supposed to take effect, ruling that the first-in-thenation measure arbitrarily applies to only some sweet beverages and some places that sell them. ''The loopholes in this rule effectively defeat the stated purpose of this rule,'' state Supreme Court Justice Milton Tingling wrote in a defeat for Mayor Michael KWIK KUTS Family Hair Salon 20 % off ANY RETAIL PRODUCT with any chemical service of $50 or more 2 Regular $ Haircut 00 off Reg. $13.95 Not good with other offers Expires 3/31/13 With coupon 1064 South Main St., Red Bluff • 529-3540 INCOME TAX PREPARATION Fast, Friendly, Reasonable Fees Fee for Short or Long form includes all the tax credits and E-filing with direct Deposit.

Further, the city Board of Health intruded on City Council's authority in approving the size limit, the judge said. The restriction was supposed to start Tuesday. The city said it will appeal the ruling as soon as possible. Supreme Court is New York's triallevel court. ''We are confident the Board of Health's decision will ultimately be upheld,'' said Michael A. Cardozo, the city's corporation counsel.

North Korea cancels armistice SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A state-run newspaper in North Korea said Monday the communist country had carried out a threat to cancel the 1953 armistice that ended the Korean War, following days of increased tensions over its latest nuclear test. A U.N. spokesman said later in the day, however, that North Korea cannot unilaterally dissolve the armistice. North Korea also followed through on another promise: It shut down a Red Cross hotline that the North and South Korea used for general communication and to discuss aid shipments and separated families' reunions. Enraged over the South's current joint military drills with the United States and last week's U.N. sanctions imposed on Pyongyang for its Feb. 12 nuclear test, North Korea has piled threat on top of threat, including a vow to launch a nuclear strike on the U.S. Seoul has responded with tough talk of its own and has placed its troops on high alert. Tensions on the divided peninsula have reached their highest level since North Korea TOM'S Glass & Muffler 214 MAIN ST., RED BLUFF 530 527-5767 ✓ TUNE-UPS ✓ SMOGS ✓ AIR CONDITIONERS ✓ AUTO GLASS ✓ MUFFLERS ✓ GENERAL REPAIRS Enrolled Agent 855 Walnut St. #2 530-529-9540 92ND APRIL 19, 20, 21, 2013 1921 ~ 2013 NEW START TIME FOR SATURDAY ROUNDUP EVENTS 2:30 PM Visit us at: www.redbluffroundup.com Visit us on facebook (530) 527-1000 1-800-545-3500 rained artillery shells on a South Korean island in 2010. Afghan villagers threaten uprising MAIDAN SHAHR, Afghanistan (AP) — An Afghan policeman gunned down two U.S. special forces on Monday in Wardak province, less than 24 hours after President Hamid Karzai's deadline expired for them to leave the area where residents have grown increasingly hostile toward the Americans. Despite Karzai's orders, the American special operations forces remain in the province where dozens of villagers accuse them and their Afghan partners of intimidation through unprovoked beatings, mass arrests and forced detentions. The shootout, which also killed two Afghan policemen, only deepens the distrust. The U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan says it has found no evidence to support the claims of abuse. But infuriated by the villagers' allegations, Karzai two weeks ago ordered U.S. special operations forces to withdraw by midnight Sunday from Wardak province, 45 kilometers (27 miles) south of the capital, Kabul. Most international forces are scheduled to withdraw from Afghanistan by the end of 2014. Wardak, like the rest of the country, is slated to be eventually handed over to Afghan forces, but U.S. Gen. Joseph Dunford, the top commander of U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan, indicated on Sunday that the troops were not leaving Wardak province just yet. ''The only issue is the timeline and the methodology, and we're still working on that,'' Dunford said.

Jury convicts ex-Detroit Mayor of corruption TEHAMA COUNTY 527-2151 insurgents to keep Afghanistan weak. But with President Barack Obama committed to two more years of U.S. combat, Karzai appears to believe he can have it both ways — gain favor at home with anti-American rhetoric and still enjoy foreign military protection. And he is probably right. The Obama administration believes that it must stay the course, gradually handing off security responsibility to Afghan forces and then ending the combat mission in December 2014. Departing sooner would risk a collapse of the government, a return to power for the Taliban and perhaps a boost for alQaida. Just last month, Obama announced that he would bring home 34,000 U.S. troops in the coming year, leaving about 32,000 for a final withdrawal in 2014. He is expected to announce soon a post-2014 military mission for several thousand American troops, even though he has said that by then ''our war in Afghanistan will be over.'' ''Beyond 2014, America's commitment to a unified and sovereign Afghanistan will endure,'' he said Feb. 12, though the nature of that commitment will shift to training Afghan forces and pursuing remnants of al-Qaida and its affiliates. DETROIT (AP) — Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was convicted Monday of corruption charges and then sent to jail to await his prison sentence in yet another dramatic setback for a man who once was among the nation's youngest big-city leaders. Jurors convicted Kilpatrick of a raft of crimes, including racketeering conspiracy, which carries a maximum punishment of 20 years behind bars. He was portrayed during a fivemonth trial as an unscrupulous politician who took bribes, rigged contracts and lived far beyond his means while in office until fall 2008. Kilpatrick wore a surprised, puzzled look at times as U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds read the jury's verdict: guilty of 24 charges, not guilty on three and no consensus on three more. Kilpatrick declined to speak to reporters as he left the courthouse. Four hours later, he was handcuffed and led to jail after prosecutors asked the judge to revoke his bond. US citing national security in censoring public records WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration answered more requests from the public to see government records under the Freedom of Information Act last year, but more often than it ever has it cited legal exceptions to censor or withhold the material, according to a new analysis by The Associated Press. It frequently cited the need to protect national security and internal deliberations. The AP's analysis showed the government released all or portions of the information that citizens, journalists, businesses and others sought at about the same rate as the previous three years. It turned over all or parts of the records in about 65 percent of all requests. It fully rejected more than one-third of requests, a slight increase over 2011, including cases when it couldn't find records, a person refused to pay for copies or the request was determined to be improper.
