VATICAN CITY (AP) — Cardinal Bernard Law, who resigned in disgrace as Boston's archbishop in 2002 after the priest sex abuse scandal erupted in the United States, has retired from his subsequent job as head of a major Roman basilica.
The Vatican said Monday that Pope Benedict XVI had accepted the 80-year-old Law's resignation as archpriest of St. Mary Major basilica and had named Spanish Monsignor Santos Abril y Castello to replace him.
Law's 2004 appointment as the archpriest of one of Rome's most important basilicas had been harshly criticized by victims of priestly sex abuse, who charged that bishops who covered up for pedophile priests should be punished, not …
An Indian laborer was beaten to death on a train, the latest attack on migrant workers in the country's financial and entertainment capital, police said Wednesday.
Police have opened a murder inquiry and detained two people for questioning, said K.P. Raghuvanshi, additional director-general of Railway Police.
Dharamdev Rai, 25, and three other laborers from impoverished Uttar Pradesh state were attacked Tuesday by a half dozen people aboard a local train, Raghuvanshi told The Associated Press.

VIENNA, Austria - North Korea is prepared to extend wide cooperation to the International Atomic Energy Agency in its mission to help shut down Pyongyang's weapons-capable nuclear facilities, an IAEA report made available Tuesday to The Associated Press suggests.
The confidential four-page report outlines events linked to the agency's foreseen role in shutting down North Korea's plutonium producing Yongbyon facility, up to last week's visit by a high-ranking agency delegation.
It also documents North Korea's stated willingness to provide agency experts with needed technical information, access and other help needed for IAEA experts to do the job.
The report will …
President Barack Obama is reaching out to the Iranian people in a new video with Farsi subtitles, saying the U.S. is prepared to end years of strained relations if Tehran tones down its bellicose rhetoric.
The video released Friday was timed to the festival of Nowruz, which means "new day" and marks the arrival of spring. It's a major holiday in Iran.
"So in this season of new beginnings I would like to speak clearly to Iran's leaders," Obama said in the video. "We have serious differences that have grown over time. My administration is now committed to diplomacy that addresses the full range of issues before us, and to pursuing …

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Petroleum giant Chevron Corp. said Friday it plans to get out of the coal industry by the end of the year.
The decision came after the company determined that new coal technologies were developing too slowly to make staying in the industry a good strategy, Chevron Mining Inc. spokeswoman Margaret Lejuste said.
One of the technologies is known as coal-to-liquids, in which coal is processed into diesel, gasoline or other fuels.
"Those technologies are so far into the future, 10 to 15 years in the future, they made the strategic decision to focus on other operations other than mining," she said of the company.
Chevron intends to sell off three …

LONDON With its full-scale, athletic and loving rendition of"Oklahoma!" the Royal National Theatre has approached Rodgers andHammerstein with the same care and intellectual respect it would showto Ibsen.
Oscar Hammerstein II is often underrated because of hissimplicity. "Oh, what a beautiful morning/Oh, what a beautiful day"is the lyric that starts the show, soaring through the theater on thewing of a perfectly shaped melody (and on Hugh Jackman's lovelytenor). Hammerstein's writing has all of the elegant directness ofthat lyric - the elemental, inevitable quality of a Shaker chair.Adapting the Lynn Riggs play "Green Grow the Lilacs," he fashioned amusical about a territory on the verge of statehood.
Save one, his characters are likable, particularly the cowboyCurly (a thoroughly winning Jackman) and his sometimes ornery girl,Laurey (the graceful Josefina Gabrielle). Their courtship is hauntedby the farmhand Jud (Shuler Hensley), a creepy pariah who becomes theviolent emblem of the disenfranchised.
Director Trevor Nunn begins the show with a kind of reverenthush, ringing a false alarm that the evening will be stiff andformal. As the overture starts, Nunn lets the audience glimpse theorchestra at the back of the deep stage. Scrims lower and raise togive us new images: a forlorn, angular prairie house in the middleground, then in the foreground, a high field of corn.
Next, the show's title is projected on a blank curtain, as if itwere the frontispiece of an expensive, shrink-wrapped book, with theword "Oklahoma!" written as if with a cowboy's rope. But Nunn isonly clearing his throat; he gets the fusty, presentational style outof his system and does not look back.
He is helped immeasurably by Susan Stroman's choreography.Cowboys pair off with women in calf-length skirts that swirlperfectly as they leap, recalling the work of the originalchoreographer, Agnes de Mille. As much as any other element in theshow, these dances define the pre-neurotic and uninhibited way thesecharacters deal with their emotions.
In Nunn's production, Jud is the show's central performance.Living in a squalid smokehouse, with nudie pictures for decoration,Hensley's Jud is a swampy thing full of fetid anger that is strongereven than his desire for love.
Set designer Anthony Ward employs stark lines for his windmilland farmhouse. In the background, the orange arc of a prairie andlooming blue sky imitate the aching emptiness of regional prairiepaintings. Though one might argue with some of Ward's flat, uglycolors, his lines are exactly right.
They suggest we view this show as a valuable document, one thatcan tell us something about our origins. Set in the beginning of thecentury, written in the middle of it, now at century's end, a Britishproduction reminds us that "Oklahoma!" is an American treasure, bothprimitive and profound.

Being single isn't the equivalent of being desperate.
I bring this up because some people seem to believe that I wouldbe-no, make that should be-willing to go out with any man rather thannot have a boyfriend.
Worse yet, they take it as a personal insult if I don't follow upon their offers to set me up.
Case in point: A good pal, who herself is unattached, suggestedthat I have lunch with her friend. I wanted to know why she didn'tdate him herself. She mumbled something about him beinggeographically undesirable.
Uh huh.
It's never a good sign when they use that as a reason, 'causefrankly, if the guy is great enough, you'll board an airplane to seehim again.
She told me a little about him-a writer who shared none of myinterests. Then she showed me his picture, which didn't do anythingto help his cause.
So I politely declined her offer.
Imagine my surprise when she tsk-tsk'd me and said, "Oh, Jae.You're not exactly in a position to be picky."
Excuse me? When did I suddenly become a member of the unchosenones?
I realize that no one's going to mistake me for Tyra Banks andthat Keanu Reeves probably won't be knocking on my door any time soonwith an engagement ring (although a girl can always dream). But I'vegot a good career going, my mental health is stable and I'm debt-free.
In some countries, I would be considered a good catch.
But still, her words stung and I convinced myself that maybe shewas right.
So I went out with her friend. He spent most of the mealcomplaining about his ex-girlfriend, his job and why he hated thedairy industry. Halfway through the date, I forced myself toconcentrate on a blister on his face. That was the only way I couldblock out his mind-numbing diatribe.
The whole event reminded me of a high school gym class. There weretwo non-whites in class-me and another Asian boy. Almostautomatically, everyone in class said we should be boyfriend andgirlfriend since we had so much in common. Our common factor? We wereboth Asian.
Likewise, my friend assumed that since her friend and I were bothsingle, we should hook up. When I told her that there wouldn't be asecond date with Writer Guy, she got snippy with me.
I shared this story with another friend of mine who had justbroken up with a long-term boyfriend.
My pal said that a married colleague of hers tried to pair her upwith a man she had met. When my friend declined the offer, sayingthat she wasn't ready to date again, the colleague told her to getover it, and then blamed her for being a snob.
It's a weird world we live in when it's considered better to bewith someone-anyone-than to go home alone.
And it's a sentiment that I am guilty of having myself sometimes.
After a recent breakup, I repeated a line that Chandler said on"Friends" a few seasons ago: "I am going to die alone."
A particularly patient friend took me aside and made a commentthat made me re-think my statement.
"Even Chandler found love," she said. "He's marrying Monica."
So he is.

SAN ANTONIO Testing for a gene mutation may enable doctors topredict whether some breast cancer patients will have a relapse orwhether their cancer will spread, scientists said at a symposiumhere.
By detecting the presence of the mutated gene, doctors may beable to determine which breast cancer patients need strongchemotherapy and extensive surgery and which will survive withsurgery to remove only the tumor.
A German researcher at the meeting reported a related finding:By measuring certain substances produced by tumor cells, doctors maybe able to identify breast-cancer patients who are in danger ofrelapsing and treat them with chemotherapy.
The test for the mutant gene also may help low-risk people avoidthe unpleasant and often serious side effects of high doses ofchemotherapy, including hair loss, nausea, vomiting and infections,Dr. Ann D. Thor, of Harvard Medical School in Boston, said at the14th Annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.
With new laboratory techiques, this gene, called the p53 gene,can be easily studied and measured, and it is being implicated inmany types of human cancers, she said.
The normal p53 gene suppresses growth in all human cells. Butthrough mutation it loses its normal function and may promote cellgrowth.
In her study of 300 patients, Thor found that women who had themutant gene when their breast cancer was diagnosed had a much worseoutcome and survival rate.
Women with a family history of breast cancer were more likely tohave the mutated gene, Thor said.
Women who might benefit most from the new gene findings likelywill be those whose breast cancer has not invaded nearby lymph nodes, Thor said.
In the second breast cancer finding reported at the meeting, aGerman researcher described the role of two substances produced bytumor cells which he said can be used to predict how invasive breastcancer will be.
By measuring the substances, doctors can identify patients whoare in danger of relapsing and treat them with chemotherapy, whilesparing those who are not at high risk, said Dr. Fritz Jaenickeof theFrauenklinik/Women's Clinic of the Technical University of Munich inGermany.
About 45,000 American women are expected to die this year frombreast cancer, according to the American Cancer Society.
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Haitian lawmakers have delayed plans to vote on choosing a new prime minister for the Caribbean nation.
Senate President Rodolphe Joazile says the vote didn't happen because not all the senators had received copies of the portfolio of Garry Conille, the man nominated by President Michel Martelly to be Haiti's next prime minister.
Joazile said the vote was rescheduled for Tuesday.
Conille is a doctor and was an aide to Bill Clinton in the former U.S. President's role as U.N. envoy to Haiti.
Haiti has been without a prime minister since Martelly took office in May, which has slowed earthquake reconstruction. Martelly's two earlier picks were rejected by parliament.
SHARM EL-SHEIK, Egypt - President Bush's top national security aides said Tuesday their double-barreled show of diplomatic and military support for friendly Arab allies this week is not a shot across Iran's bow.
"We are out here to talk about the long term," Defense Secretary Robert Gates said, as he and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice began two days of meetings among Persian Gulf allies and Egypt. Gates noted that U.S. relationships in the Gulf and beyond predate the current unease over Iran's ambitions and influence.
If Iran perceives the joint visit and U.S. overtures differently, "that's in the eye of the beholder," Gates said.
The Cabinet secretaries also said during a joint press conference in this Red Sea resort that they heard worries from Arab allies about the future of the U.S. military presence in Iraq.
"There clearly is concern on the part of the Egyptians, and I think it probably represents concern elsewhere in the region, that the United States will somehow withdraw precipitously from Iraq, or in some way that is destabilizing to the entire region," Gates told reporters after he and Rice wrapped up meetings with Egypt's top leaders.
He pledged "understanding that this needs to be done carefully and not leave Iraq in chaos."
Gates and Rice later traveled to Saudi Arabia to meet with King Abdullah and other leaders.
The United States won no specific new promises of Arab help for struggling Iraq on Tuesday, but Rice said she heard the right expressions of support after a gathering of several nations listed as recipients of an expanded aid and weapons package for friendly states in the region.
Iraq's Arab neighbors repeated a general pledge to promote stability in Iraq, torn by more than four years of war and bitter sectarian divisions that have killed thousands and driven far more from their homes.
"I think we know what the obligations of the neighbors are," Rice said, adding that Egypt and other U.S. allies are working to meet past promises of relief of Iraq's heavy international debt, additional foreign aid and help tamping down violence inside Iraq.
Rice and Gates were making a rare joint show of diplomatic force during two days of meetings with Arab allies - part of an 11th-hour effort to rally diplomatic and practical help for the U.S.-backed Shiite-led government in Baghdad. The tour also opens talks on a proposed U.S. arms package for Arab states worth more than $20 billion.
But at a press conference with her Egyptian host, Rice pointed to no fresh commitments from the Arabs. A statement issued following a nine-nation meeting promised only "to continue to support Iraq and expand their financial and political support," and restated a general commitment to blocking would-be terrorists and financing that supports them from entering Iraq.
"The ... commitment was always to help a united Iraq to reach that point of full stability, and that we have been trying to do over the last four years," Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said following the joint meeting.
Bush's top diplomatic and military managers have a tough assignment to convince skeptical, mostly Sunni-led Arab nations that they have more to lose if Iraq fails than they stand to gain by waiting until the U.S. leaves or Bush's term ends.
The Cabinet secretaries are also trying to solidify what the U.S. sees as a bulwark of generally moderate Arab states against an increasingly ambitious and unpredictable Iran.
"We have also been calling for the noninterference of any foreign powers into Iraq," Aboul Gheit said. "That is something we would renew."
Unity against Iran is not a hard sell. But Washington has had far less success in rallying Arab help for Iraq that goes much beyond words.
Arab money and diplomatic support has lagged behind Europe's, and some of Iraq's neighbors quietly tolerate, or may secretly support, attacks inside Iraq. Some of the violence targets U.S. forces and some of it Shiite militias and neighborhoods.
For their part, Arab countries may be worried that escalating opposition in the U.S. to the war in Iraq may signal a declining commitment to security in the region.
WASHINGTON - Low and middle income taxpayers are paying millions of dollars in fees to file their tax returns because of an IRS decision to end a free telephone filing service, an inspector general said Tuesday.
"Once again the IRS has made a taxpayer service decision based on questionable data," said J. Russell George, Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.
George, whose office does independent oversight of the IRS, said about 2 million individual and joint taxpayers used the TeleFile program in 2005, when the IRS, citing declining usage and increasing costs, shut it down.
He said about half of these reverted to filing paper tax returns, slowing the refund process and increasing IRS processing costs, while those who paid tax preparers or purchased software paid nearly $24 million to file their taxes in 2006.
The TeleFile program, instituted in the early 1990s, allowed people with simple individual or joint tax returns to file at no cost by using a telephone keypad.
"The IRS made a foolish mistake in eliminating Telefile, and their error is costing hardworking Americans time and money," said Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., who joined the top Republican on the committee, Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, in criticizing the IRS decision.
The IRS, in response to the inspector general's report, said it believes it acted appropriately in choosing to end the program and did not think the move would have any long-term negative consequences on its goal of getting more taxpayers to file electronically.

Scott Upshall scored with 3:04 remaining in the third period and the Philadelphia Flyers advanced to the Eastern Conference final with a 6-4 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night.
Upshall deflected Jeff Carter's shot past Carey Price to give Philadelphia its second and final lead of the game as the Flyers won the conference semifinal in five games.
The Flyers are the second team to reach the conference finals after the Presidents' Trophy-winning Detroit Red Wings got there in the West by sweeping the Colorado Avalanche.
Philadelphia will face the winner of the Pittsburgh Penguins-New York Rangers series. The Penguins lead 3-1 and Game 5 is Sunday in Pittsburgh.
R.J. Umberger had two goals and an assist and Martin Biron stopped 31 shots for the Flyers, whose last appearance in the East final was in 2004 when they lost to Tampa Bay.
The Flyers' win also assured the first all-U.S. Stanley Cup final since 2003 and extended Canada's title drought to 15 years. Montreal was the last Canadian team to win it all in 1993.
Mike Richards and Scott Hartnell scored as Philadelphia got three second-period goals to take a 4-3 lead. Mike Knuble scored into an empty net with 50 seconds left.
Andrei Kostitsyn scored at 2:13 of the third to draw Montreal even at 4.
Kostitsyn took Tomas Plekanec's drop pass and used Flyers defenseman Kimmo Timonen as a screen to put a wrist shot past Biron.
Price returned to the Montreal net after he was replaced in Game 4 by Jaroslav Halak. The 20-year-old rookie made 32 saves, including a huge left pad save to stop Daniel Briere's shot on a breakaway with 8:19 remaining.
Guillaume Latendresse drove a slap shot off the right post during a Canadiens power play before Upshall's winner.
Philadelphia scored three times in the second, beginning with Richards' goal at 14:02 of the second period which drew the Flyers within 3-2.
Richards got credit for his fourth goal of the playoffs when he put up his left hand as Umberger's shot sailed past him and Price. A video review upheld the goal.
Umberger scored his second goal of the game at 15:44 to tie it at 3 and Hartnell's third goal of the playoffs at 17:00 gave the Flyers their first lead of the game at 4-3.
Montreal got its first lead of the series _ other than Tom Kostopoulos' overtime winner in Game 1 _ when Plekanec scored on a power play at 4:29.
Plekanec got between Flyers defensemen Derian Hatcher and Braydon Coburn to tip Patrice Brisebois' shot from the right point past Biron.
Umberger tied it with a second-effort goal at 10:20 as he swiped his own rebound past Price after he shot on a 2-on-1.
Alex Kovalev got credit for his fifth goal of the playoffs as he restored the Canadiens' lead at 11:28 when Maxim Lapierre's wraparound shot went in off Kovalev's skate.
Notes:@ Briere and Biron both went over to shake hands with Canadiens coach Guy Carbonneau and his coaching staff after shaking hands with the Montreal players. ... The Canadiens' players raised their sticks as they drew a standing ovation from the crowd following the game.
Lawyers for a man accused of hacking into U.S. military computers say they have been granted a judicial review to assess whether he should be extradited.
Home Secretary Alan Johnson has approved the extradition of Gary McKinnon, who is accused by U.S. prosecutors of hacking into computers shortly after the Sept. 11 2001 attacks.
McKinnon's supporters have protested, saying the 43-year-old man suffers from a form of autism and is a suicide risk. They argue that extraditing him would be a breach of his human rights.
McKinnon's lawyer Karen Todner said Wednesday she was delighted that Johnson's decision will be reviewed. She said a High Court judge will rule in a hearing expected to take place by May.
