4B Daily News – Thursday, March 14, 2013 WORLD BRIEFING Argentine Jorge Bergoglio elected Pope VATICAN CITY (AP) — Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina was elected pope Wednesday, becoming the first pontiff from the Americas and the first from outside Europe in more than a millennium. He chose the name Francis, associating himself with the humble 13th-century Italian preacher who lived a life of poverty. Looking stunned, Francis shyly waved to the crowd of tens of thousands of people who gathered in St. Peter's Square for the announcement, marveling that the cardinals needed to look to ''the end of the earth'' to find a bishop of Rome. In choosing a 76-year-old pope, the cardinals clearly decided that they didn't need a vigorous, young pope who would reign for decades but rather a seasoned, popular and humble pastor who would draw followers to the faith. The cardinal electors overcame deep divisions to select the 266th pontiff in a remarkably fast, five-ballot conclave. Francis asked for prayers for himself, and for retired Pope Benedict XVI, whose surprising resignation paved the way for the conclave that brought the first Jesuit to the papacy. He also spoke by phone with Benedict after his election and plans to see him in the coming days, the Vatican said. ''Brothers and sisters, good evening,'' Francis said to wild cheers in his first public remarks as pontiff. ''You know that the work of the conclave is to give a bishop to Rome. It seems as if my brother cardinals went to find him from the end of the earth. Thank you for the welcome.'' Authorities: 57 charged in Fla. gambling scandal ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Florida's lieutenant governor resigned and nearly 60 other people were charged in a widening scandal of a purported veterans charity that authorities said Wednesday was a $300 million front for illegal gambling. Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll's resignation came a day after she was questioned in the investigation. Her public relations firm did work for the St. Augustine-based charity Allied Veterans of the World, but she has not been accused of wrongdoing. Authorities said the probe involved 57 arrest warrants and 54 search warrants issued at gambling operations in 23 Florida counties and five other states: South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Nevada and Pennsylvania. Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi said charges, which will be formally filed next week, include racketeering, conspiracy, money laundering and possession of slot machines. ''It's callous and it's despicable,'' Bondi said of the alleged scam, which she said ''insults every American who ever wore a military uniform.'' Pope Francis is known in Latin America for Senate criticizes military simplicity and humility for little progress in VATICAN CITY (AP) — In unadorned white robes, the first pope from the Americas sets a combating sexual assault tone of simplicity and pastoral humility in a church desperate to move past the tarnished era of abuse scandals and internal Vatican upheavals. The choice of Argentine Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio — who took the name Francis — reflected a series of history-making decisions by fellow cardinals who seemed determined to offer a message of renewal to a church under pressures on many fronts. The 76-year-old archbishop of Buenos Aries — the first from Latin America and the first from the Jesuit order — bowed to the crowds in St. Peter's Square and asked for their blessing in a hint of the austere style he cultivated while modernizing the Argentina's conservative Catholic church. In taking the name Francis, he drew connections to the 13th century St. Francis of Assisi, who saw his calling as trying to rebuild the church in a time of turmoil. It also evokes images of Francis Xavier, one of the 16th century founders of the Jesuit order that is known for its scholarship and outreach. Francis, the son of middle-class Italian immigrants, is known as a humble man who denied himself the luxuries that previous Buenos Aires cardinals enjoyed. He came close to becoming pope last time, reportedly gaining the secondhighest vote total in several rounds of voting before he bowed out of the running in the conclave that elected Pope Benedict XVI. WASHINGTON (AP) — In a stinging rebuke of the military's efforts to curb sexual assault, members of a Senate panel hammered Defense Department officials on Wednesday for making too little progress in combating the crimes and failing to improve a military justice system that victims described as slow and uncaring. During a two-part hearing, the panel heard harrowing testimony from several victims, who said military justice is broken and pushed for Congress to take action to stem the rape, sexual assault and sexual harassment that they said are pervasive in all the service branches. Pentagon officials said they are taking the problem seriously. ''Sexual assault in the military is not only an abhorrent crime that does enormous harm to the victim, but it is also a virulent attack on the discipline and good order on which military cohesion depends,'' said Robert Taylor, the Pentagon's acting general counsel. ''The Air Force has zero tolerance for this offense,'' added Lt. Gen. Richard Harding, the judge advocate general of the Air Force. But lawmakers pointed to a decision by an Air Force general to reverse a guilty verdict in a sexual assault case as evidence of how the military fails the victims who come forward to report the crimes. Under military law, a commander who convenes a court-martial is known as the convening authority and has the sole discretion to reduce or set aside guilty verdicts and sentences or to reverse a jury's verdict. World's Catholics join global leaders in welcoming Bergoglio GOP draws stark contrasts with Obama LONDON (AP) — World leaders sent in their congratulations and Catholics around the world were celebrating Wednesday after the Vatican announced the election of Argentine Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio to the papacy — making him the first pontiff from the Americas. Moments after the decision was announced, President Barack Obama offered ''warm wishes'' to Pope Francis and said the selection speaks to the strength and vitality of the Americas. ''On behalf of the American people, Michelle and I offer our warm wishes to His Holiness Pope Francis,'' Obama said. ''As a champion of the poor and the most vulnerable among us, he carries forth the message of love and compassion that has inspired the world for more than 2,000 years.'' British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Francois Hollande also issued statements of congratulations. Wednesday was ''a momentous day for the 1.2 billion Catholics around the world,'' Cameron said. Egypt government inquiry finds police shot most of nearly 900 dead CAIRO (AP) — The highest-level inquiry into the deaths of nearly 900 protesters in Egypt's uprising has concluded that police were behind nearly all the killings and used snipers on rooftops overlooking Cairo's Tahrir Square to shoot into the huge crowds. The report, parts of which were obtained by The Associated Press, is the most authoritative and sweeping account of the killings and determines that the deadly force used could only have been authorized by Hosni Mubarak's security chief, with the ousted president's full knowledge. The report of the fact-finding commission, created by Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, could weigh heavily in the upcoming retrial of Mubarak, as well as his security chief, former Interior Minister Habib el-Adly, and six top police commanders. It is likely also to fuel calls for reforming the powerful security forces and lead to prosecutions of members of the police force. The findings were leaked at a sensitive time for the country's police. Still hated by most Egyptians, the force is in upheaval, with seg- LEGAL NOTICE ments of police on strike and its chief, Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim, pleading not to drag it into politics. The force is also facing a challenge from Islamist groups threatening to set up ''popular committees'' to fill what they call a security vacuum created by the police strike. Part of the force also is protesting what some officers see as an attempt by Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood to control the force. The Brotherhood denies the charge. WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans drew stark contrasts with Democrats on tricky budget issues as President Barack Obama came to the Capitol on Wednesday in a stepped-up effort to improve relations with lawmakers whose votes he needs to enact his second-term agenda. Obama held a rare meeting with House Republicans geared at thawing political gridlock, even though he conceded in an interview airing hours earlier that a political accommodation may be impossible. ''It was good. I enjoyed it. It was useful,'' Obama told reporters as he emerged from the roughly 90minute meeting. Many Republicans who long have chided Obama for failing to engage their party on the nation's biggest problems are applauding his newfound outreach — part of a concerted effort by the president to mend ties with Congress in hopes of reaching a grand compromise on fiscal issues. Neither side is backing down from entrenched positions that have prevented deals in the past — a status quo scenario that Obama acknowledged could preclude any agreement. Detroit-area woman, 75, who shot teen grandson testifies at murder trial PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) — A 75-year-old woman charged with first-degree murder sobbed on the witness stand Wednesday as she told jurors how she repeatedly shot her teenage grandson after he kicked her in the abdomen and demanded money and a car to leave Michigan. Sandra Layne described herself as an overwhelmed grandmother who took Jonathan Hoffman into her Detroit-area home after his parents divorced and moved to Arizona. She said she ''adored'' the 17-year-old, but their relationship changed when the teen got involved with drugs. ''Did you want to kill this young man?'' defense attorney Jerome Sabbota asked. ''Of course not. I still love him,'' Layne replied. She told jurors that Hoffman used drugs and spent time with friends whom she didn't know or trust. Layne said he couldn't control his temper if things went wrong, destroying computer equipment and kicking doors and the car dashboard.
