6B Daily News – Tuesday, May 15, 2012 Syrian unrest spills into Lebanon for 3rd day, raising fears of wider conflict rocket-propelled grenades, Lebanese gunmen clashed in street battles Monday as sectarian tensions linked to the 14- month-old uprising in Syria bled across the border for a third day. Lebanon's second-largest city since the gunbattles erupted late Saturday, security officials said. Residents say differ- ences over Syria are at the root of the fighting, which pits neighbor against neighbor and raises fears of broader unrest that could draw in neighboring countries. Lebanon and Syria share a complex web of political and sectarian ties and rivalries, which are easily enflamed. Tripoli has seen bouts of sectarian violence in the past, but the fighting has become more frequent as the conflict in Syria worsens. The fighting camps break down along sectarian and polit- ical lines. On one side are Sunni Muslims who support the rebels trying to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad. On the other are members of the tiny Alawite sect, followers of an offshoot of Shiite Islam who are Assad's most loyal sup- porters. At least five people have been killed and 100 wounded in TRIPOLI, Lebanon (AP) — Firing assault rifles and WORLD BRIEFING Greek talks to enter 9th day ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Marathon efforts to break Obama campaign attacks Greece's post-electoral paralysis are lurching into a ninth day amid the country's worst crisis in decades, with fractious party leaders summoned to a yet another emergency meet- ing Tuesday that could see the reins of government surren- dered to non-politicians. The hectic haggling in Athens cast a deep gloom over global markets, which fell Monday on fears that the debt- crippled country will have to hold another election within weeks — the only way out if squabbling party leaders fail to strike a power-sharing deal. That would squander vital time earmarked for reforming Greece's fast-shrinking economy. In return for the two mas- sive international bailouts that are its only shield from bank- ruptcy, Greece has committed to implement further cut- backs. It will otherwise face the catastrophic prospect of bankruptcy and an ignominious exit from the euro, which would cause unknown consequences for Europe and the world. European finance ministers on Monday urged Athens to struggle on with its reform schedule, warning that a euro exit was no longer inconceivable. On May 6, a Greek electorate exhausted by nearly 2 1/2 years of constant income cuts, tax hikes and horrific unem- ployment expressed its anger in the voting booth. The recent clashes were sparked by the arrest of Lebanese national Shadi Mawlawi, an outspoken critic of Assad. The Sunni fighters say the root of the latest conflict in Tripoli is across the border. Chase shareholders facing Dimon owned up to stock analysts and went on TV to accept blame for a $2 billion trading mistake. Next he faces share- holders, who are considerably less wealthy since the blunder was disclosed. crisis without Dimon NEW YORK (AP) — JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie While Dimon may be greeted by colorful protesters and tough questions at the JPMorgan annual meeting in Tampa, Fla., on Tuesday, shareholders are unlikely to call for his head. For them, facing the crisis without Dimon might be a big- ger nightmare than the trading loss itself.

HELP OUR CHILDREN Romney's record at Bain WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama tried Monday to tarnish Mitt Romney as a corporate titan who got rich by cutting rather than creating jobs, opening a new effort to undercut the Republican's claims that his background of business success is just what America needs in a time of deep economic uncertainty. At the center of the Obama campaign effort are a new website, TV ad and online video including interviews with onetime workers at a Kansas City, Mo., steel mill that Rom- ney's former private equity firm failed to successfully restructure. Workers lost jobs and health care benefits. Pen- sions were reduced. ''It was like a vampire. They came in and sucked the life out of us,'' says steelworker Jack Cobb. Add John Wiseman: ''Bain Capital walked away with a lot of money that they made off this plant. We view Mitt Romney as a job destroy- er. Countering the criticism, Romney's campaign said the former Massachusetts governor welcomes an election-sea- son conversation with Obama about jobs. In fact, Romney alone helped spur more public and private jobs than Obama has for the nation, the Republican campaign argues. .Both candidates are seeking to pivot to voters' No. 1 issue, the economy, and away from the social issues that dominated after the president announced his support for gay marriage last week. Vatican mystery want someone of his caliber to shepherd it through,'' said longtime JPMorgan shareholder Michael Holland, chairman and founder of money manager Holland & Co. That has not been a universal opinion since Thursday, when Dimon disclosed to analysts that the bank had lost $2 billion by making a bad bet with so-called credit derivatives.

It won't be an easy task, given that Yahoo Inc. has now gone through four full-time CEOs in a five-year stretch marked by broken promises of better times ahead. Instead, Yahoo's revenue and stock price have sagged during a time when rivals such as Google Inc. and Facebook Inc. are growing as advertisers spend more money online. ''Yahoo has been floundering for years and it looks like there is going to be at least several more months of indi- rection now that another CEO is coming in,'' said Adam Hanft, who runs a consulting firm that specializes in brand reputation and crisis management. Yahoo's hopes are now resting on Ross Levinsohn as its interim CEO. Levinsohn had a successful stint running Internet services within Rupert Murdoch's media empire at News Corp. before one of Yahoo's former CEOs, Carol Bartz, hired him in November 2010 to help her in her mostly fruitless attempt to fix the company.

Medical experts took samples from the remains of Enri- co De Pedis and also took boxes of old bones from the near- by ossuary, according to a De Pedis family lawyer, as part of the investigation into whether Emanuela Orlandi may have been buried alongside him. Orlandi was 15 when she disappeared in 1983 after leav- ing her family's Vatican City apartment to go to a music les- son in Rome. Her father was a lay employee of the Holy See. De Pedis, a member of Rome's Magliana mob, was killed in 1990. His one-time girlfriend has reportedly told prosecutors that De Pedis kidnapped Orlandi, and an anony- mous caller in 2005 told a call-in television show that the answer to Orlandi's disappearance lay in his tomb. Amid a new push to resolve the case, the Vatican said last month it had no objections to opening the tomb. On Mon- day, Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi said the inspection of the De Pedis tomb was ''certainly a posi- tive fact'' aimed at carrying out ''all possible steps so the investigation could be completed. headless bodies near border MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — Authorities struggled Monday to identify the 49 people found mutilated and scat- tered in a pool of blood in a region near the U.S .border in the presumed fight between Mexico's two dominant drug cartels to outdo each other in bloodshed and expand their ter- ritory and smuggling routes. Authorities strive to identify 49 More than 24 hours after the gruesome discovery, offi- cials had yet to identify any of the corpses, found without heads, hands or feet. So far, no sign of gunshots had been found on any of the bodies, Nuevo Leon state security spokesman Jorge Domene told Milenio television. There were no reports of mass disappearances in the area and only one couple had visited the morgue in the city of Monterrey where the bodies were taken. None of the six female bodies matched their missing daughter. The 43 men and six women found Sunday were dumped at the entrance to the town of San Juan in the municipality of Cadereyta on a highway that connects the industrial city of Monterrey with Reynosa, across from McAllen, Texas.
