HONOLULU
President Barack Obama says the colorful Hawaiian aloha shirts are out when it comes to world leaders.
Obama on Sunday chose not to continue a tradition started by President Bill Clinton nearly two decades ago.
The 21 leaders at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Obama's native Hawaii were photographed together in the customary, stodgy presidential wear — neckties and dark suits — not the casual aloha shirts that many were hoping to see them in.
There wasn't even a single floral lei.
"I got rid of the Hawaiian shirts because I looked at pictures of some of the previous APEC meetings and some of the garb that appeared previously and I thought this might be a tradition that we might want to break," Obama said.
HOUSTON
A Texas man accused of attempting to sneak out of the country with restricted U.S. military documents, money and equipment in order to join al-Qaida was convicted Monday of trying to help the terrorist organization.
Barry Walter Bujol Jr. was convicted of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and aggravated identity theft. He faces up to 20 years in prison.
Bujol, who is a U.S. citizen, represented himself at his trial, which was heard at his request by a judge instead of a jury. The verdict by U.S. District Judge David Hittner came after a trial that lasted less than four days, with testimony ending last week.
NEW YORK
The stock market fell Monday after a jump in Italy's borrowing costs reminded investors of how much work remains to be done to contain Europe's debt problems.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost nearly 75 points. European markets also fell and the euro weakened against the dollar.
Major indexes closed higher last week as Greece and Italy took steps toward getting their debt troubles under control. New governments are taking over in both countries, which are at the center of the crisis.
The Italian government had to pay 6.29 percent at an auction of five-year bonds, the highest rate since 1997. Italy paid a much lower rate of 5.32 percent at a similar auction last month.
LONDON
The parties will be at the palace at least during next year's Summer Olympics.
Queen Elizabeth II has approved renting out fancy rooms at St. James's Palace as party venues during the 2012 London Olympics.
Buckingham Palace says holders of royal warrants — companies with longstanding ties to the royal family — will be given a chance to rent the rooms, called state apartments, during the games, which begin July 27 and last until Aug.12.
A palace spokesman, who spoke on condition of anonymity, declined Monday to say which state apartments would be available, but the palace has the Throne Room, the Tapestry Room and the Queen Anne Room, among others.
EVENT
Harvard professor alum to visit campus
Former vice chairman of Goldman Sachs, Robert S. Kaplan, will speak on campus Thursday and Friday.
Kaplan, a professor at Harvard Business School, was with Goldman Sachs until 2005. He is also a University alumnus.
Kaplan will speak at the Dole Institute of Politics 7:30 p.m. Thursday, and at the Gridiron Room in the Burge Union at 11:30 a.m. Friday. Both events are free and open to the public.

Administrator elected to AMA Board of Trustees
A KU administrator will have the chance to wield influence over the American Medical Association, the University announced Monday.
Julie Goonewardene, associate vice chancellor for innovation and entrepreneurship, was elected to the AMA's Board of Trustees as a public member, the third person to fill the position since its creation in 2001.
The AMA is the largest association of doctors and medical students with 215,000 members. Goonewardene hopes her position will help boost the University's profile.
"I look forward to supporting physicians
and patients as we work on our nation's health care challenges, as well as promoting KU's incredible health assets to partners nationwide." Goonewardene said in a news release.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said Goonewardene's position would draw attention to research at the University.
"Not only will Julie contribute to the AMA's mission, but she'll also be an ambassador for KU and help connect our researchers and health care practitioners with opportunities nationwide," Gray-Little said in a release. "This will benefit her effort to drive innovation, job creation and the commercialization of research here at KU."

ODD NEWS
Barber lets clients name their price
CANTON, Ohio — An Ohio barber whose customers are cutting back on haircuts is trying to boost business by letting people trim prices to what they can afford.
Gregory Burnett has put a sign in the front yard of his Canton shop that reads "Times are hard" and "Pay what you can pay for a cut."
The Repository newspaper reports Burnett has accepted as little as $5 for haircuts normally
Burnett says his name-your price deal helps both him and the community.
He's trying to appeal to customers such as Mike Cheek, whose visits used to be every few weeks but are now separated by months. Cheek says he sometimes lets his son or other relatives cut his hair these days, or tries to "mess with it" himself.
