Reuters - U.S. police officers cleared tents from an "Occupy" protest site in downtown Washington on Sunday, but demonstrators said even without the camp they would continue to fight for economic equality and other issues.

Special Report: Bloomberg reloads in push for gun control (Reuters)

Reuters - Among the slick, million-dollar ads for the likes of Pepsi and Honda during the Super Bowl this Sunday, viewers in Washington will see a far more modest spot. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino will be sitting on a couch touting an issue most politicians avoid like the plague: gun control.

Obama could alter stance of federal appeals courts (AP)

In this photo taken Oct. 8, 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court justices pose for a group photo at the Supreme Court in Washington. Three justices will turn 80 before the next presidential term ends: Associate Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, right, who leads the closely divided court's liberal wing, Antonin Scalia, second from left, a conservative, and Anthony Kennedy, second from right, who leans conservative, but on some issues provides a decisive vote for the liberals. A titanic confirmation fight would ensue if it allowed a Republican president to cement conservative control of the court, or a Democrat president to give liberal appointees a working majority for the first time in decades. Others seated are Associate Justice Clarence Thomas, left, and Chief Justice John Roberts, center; standing from left are Associate Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer,  Samuel Alito Jr., and Elena Kagan. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)AP - A second term for President Barack Obama would allow him to expand his replacement of Republican-appointed majorities with Democratic ones on the nation's appeals courts, the final stop for almost all challenged federal court rulings.



As colleges obsess over rankings, students shrug (AP)

In this Thursday, Feb. 2, 2012 photo, students walk through the campus of Claremont McKenna College in Claremont, Calif. When US News & World Report debuted its list of “America's Best Colleges” nearly 30 years ago, the magazine hoped its college rankings would be a game-changer for students and families. Arguably, they've had a much bigger effect on colleges themselves. A senior administrator at Claremont McKenna, a highly regarded California liberal arts college, resigned after acknowledging he falsified college entrance exam scores for years to rankings publications such as US News. The scale was small: submitting scores just 10 or 20 points higher on the 1600-point SAT math and reading exams.

No more Naptown: Super Bowl boosts Indy's image (AP)

FILE - In this Friday, Feb. 3, 2012 file photo, people crowd the streets through Super Bowl Village, in Indianapolis. Indianapolis was once called Naptown and India-No-Place for a reason. For decades, there was no reason to stay downtown after dark. This week, as 150,000 visitors descend on a new, vibrant district before Super Bowl Sunday, even cynics agree that the city has successfully shed its image as a bastion of boredom in what was once called “flyover country.”  The New England Patriots are scheduled to face the New York Giants in NFL football's Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday, Feb. 5, in Indianapolis. (AP Photo/Jeff Roberson, File)AP - Indianapolis was once called Naptown and India-No-Place for a reason.
