INTERNATIONAL 1. Nun from Palestine moves closer to sainthood
Ghattas helped found the Sisters of the Most Holy Rosary of Jerusalem in the 1880s. The order, highly regarded in Palestinian communities, continues to run schools for Palestinian girls in Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
NAZARETH, Israel — A Palestinian nun who co-founded a charity dedicated to educating Arab girls on Sunday took an important step toward sainthood.
Thousands of worshippers gathered in the biblical town of Nazareth to attend the beatification of the late Sister Maria Alfonsina Damil Ghattas.
2. Storms in England lead experts to check bridges
LONDON — Police and army experts say they're urgently checking the safety of about 1,800 bridges in northern England amid some of the worst storms ever recorded in Britain.
Heavy rainfall has ravaged England's popular Lake District, with more than 1,000 homes flooded and several river crossings destroyed. Police said Sunday that concerns over the safety of bridges have crippled the region's road network.
A police officer was swept to his death Friday when a major bridge collapsed close to Cockermouth, the hardest-hit town.
Britain's Met Office said a record 12.3 inches (314.4 millimeters) of rain had fallen near Cockermouth in 24 hours. Military helicopters were scrumbed Friday to winch people from rooftops, while debris floated down the town's flooded main street.
3. Space-ship designer from Russia dies at 83
Feektistov played key role in the development of the Vaskhod.
MOSCOW — Russian spaceship designer Konstantin Feektistov, the only non-Communist space traveler in the history of the Soviet space program, has died at the age of 83.
Approval of his flight met resistance from the Politburo since Fecktistov was not a Communist Party member at the time.
The Russian Space Agency said in a statement Sunday that Feoktistov died of unspecified causes late Saturday in Moscow.
In 1964, he traveled aboard the Voskhod spaceship as part of the first group space flight in history.
Until 1990, Feoktistov helped design Soviet space ships and stations such as Soyuz, Progress and Mir.
NATIONAL 4. Proposed health bill splits Senate Democrats
WASHINGTON — Moderate Senate Democrats threatened Sunday to scuttle health-care legislation if their demands aren't met, while more liberal members warned their party leaders not to bend.
The dispute among Democrats foretells of a rowdy floor debate next month on legislation that would extend health care coverage to roughly 31 million Americans. Republicans have already made clear they aren't supporting the bill.
Final passage is in jeopardy, even after the chamber's historic 60-39 vote Saturday night to begin debate.
5. Airport bottlenecks may pose problems in NYC
NEW YORK — Fewer people are expected to fly this holiday season, but travelers shouldn't expect a full reprieve from the horrid flight delays of Thanksgiving past, especially if they need to land anywhere near New York City.
Despite some recent improvements, the Big Apple's three major airports continue to be the country's worst air travel bottleneck.
Through the first nine months of the year, they ranked first, second and third worst in ontime arrivals among the 31 major U.S. air hubs, according to federal statistics.
The problem doesn't affect just New Yorkers. Because such a large percentage of the nation's flights pass through the city sometime during any given day, delays there have a tendency to ripple elsewhere.
6. Earthquake, aftershock rock Southern California
A San Bernardino County Sheriff's dispatcher says there have been no reports of damage or injury.
LOS ANGELES — A magnitude 3.7 earthquake has rattled Southern California's Big Bear Lake area, followed by a sharp aftershock.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the first quake struck at 7:55 a.m. Sunday, about seven miles north of Big Bear City.
The same area was rocked by a 2.4 magnitude aftershock two-and-a-half minutes later.
Big Bear Lake is in the San Bernardino National Forest about 80 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.

RELIGION Communion withheld from Patrick Kennedy
EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. The Roman Catholic bishop of Rhode Island said he asked Rep. Patrick Kennedy to stop receiving Holy Communion in 2007 because of the lawmaker's support for abortion right'
