HuffPost’s Ryan Grim reports:
Mitt Romney continued his long slog toward the Republican nomination Saturday, heading toward a victory in heavily Mormon Nevada ahead of Tuesday contests in Colorado and Minnesota.
Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, looked poised to handily win the caucuses, despite playing in the home state of Newt Gingrich’s chief financial backer, casino magnate Sheldon Adelson. The comparatively poor showing by Gingrich, the former House speaker, makes the seemingly inevitable Romney campaign appear that much more inevitable. For a campaign predicated on electability, such an appearance is essential.

Rick Santorum spoke with voters in Colorado Saturday night, saying the Republican presidential primary is “down to crunch time.”
“We will win this election if we have someone who goes out and paints bold contrast,” Santorum said, noting that the GOP candidate needed to “get Washington under control.”
Santorum again insisted he was the candidate to beat Obama, claiming that “name recognition” is what he needs to beat Obama. He took shots at both Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, claiming their popularity was due to aggressive and hostile campaigning.
“I didn’t engage in petty, personal politics,” Santorum said.

Older people feel that their health problems pose a challenge to their sense of independence, dignity and identity and sometimes the health care they are given makes things worse.
According to research funded by UK Research Councils’ New Dynamics of Ageing programme (NDA), healthcare providers must avoid taking a ‘blanket view’ of how to help older people cope with the ageing process.
The study carried out by Dr Liz Lloyd and her colleagues found that people were often surprised by the impact that illness and growing old had on their lives. Their sense of ‘self’ was affected by the limitations imposed by their age and illnesses. “Growing old and coming to terms with illnesses is complex and demanding at times – physically, mentally and emotionally,” Dr Lloyd said. “When health goes, it can come as quite a shock.”
The research shows that older people work hard at maintaining their health and independence, while coming to terms with becoming dependent on others. The participants’ views show how, with the struggle to maintain day-to-day activities, their dignity can quickly and easily be lost. One participant, Mary, told researchers: “Inside I feel as though I ought to be able to do things. But I’m not and it’s hard to accept.”
While some were positive about making changes, others found it harder to adjust their day-to-day routines. All participants made great efforts to find new activities or adapt old ones. For example several learnt to use computers and others took art classes at day centres. All tried to maintain their health in a variety of ways.
Dr Lloyd believes the research shows there are significant differences in the way that people define dignity and independence, and that these are influenced by their relationships, abilities and life experiences. She states, “You can’t impose a blanket view of what dignified care is. Of course, there are certain standards that should apply in all circumstances but enhancing dignity needs a lot more than guaranteeing minimum standards.”
“In old age when your health fails, it affects your sense of self. Understanding that from an older person’s perspective is crucially important. Care and support can enhance dignity or it can worsen the loss of it if not given in the right way. Good support is essential in terms of how people make the adjustments they need to make.”
Dr Lloyd highlights that the relationship between dignity, identity and independence is complex. “Loss of independence involves a change in your identity and is a challenge to your dignity,” she states. “It is through the support of others that individuals are able to rebuild their sense of identity in their changed circumstances.”
Support and care need to be responsive to what people are going through and to see things from the perspective of the person on the receiving end of care. “Older people are going through enormous changes and the people who are helping them need to be aware of these.”

Search called off for missing cruise ship passengers
Italian emergency officials say they are calling off a search for missing people in the submerged part of the Costa Concordia cruise ship, due to the danger to rescue workers, according to the Associated Press.
KINGSTON, Ontario ? A jury on Sunday found three members of an Afghan family guilty of killing three teenage sisters and another woman in what the judge described as “cold-blooded, shameful murders” resulting from a “twisted concept of honor,” ending a case that shocked and riveted Canadians.
Prosecutors said the defendants allegedly killed the three teenage sisters because they dishonored the family by defying its disciplinarian rules on dress, dating, socializing and using the Internet.
The jury took 15 hours to find Mohammad Shafia, 58; his wife Tooba Yahya, 42; and their son Hamed, 21, each guilty of four counts of first-degree murder. First-degree murder carries an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years.
After the verdict was read, the three defendants again declared their innocence in the killings of sisters Zainab, 19, Sahar 17, and Geeti, 13, as well as Rona Amir Mohammad, 52, Shafia’s childless first wife in a polygamous marriage.
Their bodies were found June 30, 2009, in a car submerged in a canal in Kingston, Ontario, where the family had stopped for the night on their way home to Montreal from Niagara Falls, Ontario.
The prosecution alleged it was a case of premeditated murder, staged to look like an accident after it was carried out. Prosecutors said the defendants drowned their victims elsewhere on the site, placed their bodies in the car and pushed it into the canal.
Ontario Superior Court Judge Robert Maranger said the evidence clearly supported the conviction.
“It is difficult to conceive of a more heinous, more despicable, more honorless crime,” Maranger said. “The apparent reason behind these cold-blooded, shameful murders was that the four completely innocent victims offended your completely twisted concept of honor … that has absolutely no place in any civilized society.”
In a statement following the verdict, Canadian Justice Minister Rob Nicholson called honor killings a practice that is “barbaric and unacceptable in Canada.”
Defense lawyers said the deaths were accidental. They said the Nissan car accidentally plunged into the canal after the eldest daughter, Zainab, took it for a joy ride with her sisters and her father’s first wife. Hamed said he watched the accident, although he didn’t call police from the scene.
After the jury returned the verdicts, Mohammad Shafia, speaking through a translator, said, “We are not criminal, we are not murderer, we didn’t commit the murder and this is unjust.”
His weeping wife, Tooba, also declared the verdict unjust, saying, “I am not a murderer, and I am a mother, a mother.”
Their son, Hamed, speaking in English said, “I did not drown my sisters anywhere.”
Hamed’s lawyer, Patrick McCann, said he was disappointed with the verdict, but said his client will appeal and he believes the other two defendants will as well.
But prosecutor Gerard Laarhuis welcomed the verdict.
“This jury found that four strong, vivacious and freedom-loving women were murdered by their own family in the most troubling of circumstances,” Laarhuis said outside court.
“This verdict sends a very clear message about our Canadian values and the core principles in a free and democratic society that all Canadians enjoy and even visitors to Canada enjoy,” he said to cheers of approval from onlookers.
The family had left Afghanistan in 1992 and lived in Pakistan, Australia and Dubai before settling in Canada in 2007. Shafia, a wealthy businessman, married Yahya because his first wife could not have children.
Shafia’s first wife was living with him and his second wife. The polygamous relationship, if revealed, could have resulted in their deportation.
The prosecution painted a picture of a household controlled by a domineering Shafia, with Hamed keeping his sisters in line and doling out discipline when his father was away on frequent business trips to Dubai.
The months leading up to the deaths were not happy ones in the Shafia household, according to evidence presented at trial. Zainab, the oldest daughter, was forbidden to attend school for a year because she had a young Pakistani-Canadian boyfriend, and she fled to a shelter, terrified of her father, the court was told.
The prosecution said her parents found condoms in Sahar’s room as well as photos of her wearing short skirts and hugging her Christian boyfriend, a relationship she had kept secret. Geeti was becoming almost impossible to control: skipping school, failing classes, being sent home for wearing revealing clothes and stealing, while declaring to authority figures that she wanted to be placed in foster care, according to the prosecution.
Shafia’s first wife wrote in a diary that her husband beat her and “made life a torture,” while his second wife called her a servant.
The prosecution presented wire taps and mobile phone records from the Shafia family in court to support their honor killing allegation. The wiretaps, which capture Shafia spewing vitriol about his dead daughters, calling them treacherous and whores and invoking the devil to defecate on their graves, were a focal point of the trial.
“There can be no betrayal, no treachery, no violation more than this,” Shafia said on one recording. “Even if they hoist me up onto the gallows … nothing is more dear to me than my honor.”
Defense lawyers argued that at no point in the intercepts do the accused say they drowned the victims.
Shafia’s lawyer, Peter Kemp, said after the verdicts that he believes the comments his client made on the wiretaps may have weighed more heavily on the jury’s minds than the physical evidence in the case.
“He wasn’t convicted for what he did,” Kemp said. “He was convicted for what he said.”
NEW YORK?? The embattled president of Yemen arrived in the United States on Saturday for medical treatment, Yemen’s foreign press office said.
President Ali Abdullah Saleh arrived at an unspecified location in the U.S., after a journey that took him from Oman through London.
His staff has said he is in the United States to be treated for injuries suffered during an assassination attempt in June.
Saleh’s travel plans in the United States have not been disclosed for security reasons.
After months of unrest, Saleh agreed in November to relinquish power.
The U.S. and its allies have pressured Saleh to leave Yemen permanently, but it is unclear how long he will remain in the U.S.
In a speech before he left for Oman, he promised to return home before Feb. 21 presidential elections.
Washington has been trying to get Saleh to leave his homeland, but it does not want him to settle permanently in the United States, fearing it would be seen as harboring a leader considered by his people to have blood on his hands.
Saleh was traveling on a chartered Emirates plane with a private doctor, translator, eight armed guards and several family members, an official in the Yemeni president’s office said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
In November, Saleh handed over his powers to his vice president and promised to step down completely after months of protests by millions across the country demanding an end to his nearly 33-year rule. A national unity government was formed between his ruling party and the opposition.
But opponents say he has continued to interfere in the work of a unity government through his allies and relatives in key posts ? particularly his son and nephew, who command the country’s most elite and powerful military units. As a result, the past two months have seen persistent violence, power struggles and delays in reforms.

Saleh agreed to step down in return for a sweeping immunity from prosecution on any crimes committed during his rule, a measure that has angered many in Yemen who want him tried for the deaths of protesters in his crackdown on the uprising against him. Protests have continued demanding his prosecution and the removal of his relatives and allies from authority.
Even since the protests against his rule began a year ago, Saleh has proved a master in eluding pressure to keep his grip, though over the months his options steadily closed around him. He slipped out of signing the accord for the power handover three times over the months before finally agreeing to it.
He was badly burned in a June explosion in his compound in Sanaa. He received medical treatment in neighboring Saudi Arabia for three months. American officials had hoped he would remain there, but the Yemeni leader returned home and violence worsened anew.
His maneuvering and the turmoil on the ground left the United States struggling to find a stable transition in the country to ensure a continued fight against al-Qaida militants based in the country, who make up the most active branch of the terror network in the world. Saleh was a close ally of Washington in the fight, taking millions in counterterrorism aid.
During the past year of turmoil, al-Qaida-linked militants outright took control of several cities and towns in the south, including Zinjibar, the capital of Abyan province.
On Friday, government forces battled with the militants near the town of Jaar, which they also control. At least five people were killed in the fighting, Yemeni security officials said Saturday, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the press.

LOS ANGELES, Jan 26 (TheWrap.com) ? Relativity has found what it thinks is the fairest release date of all for “Mirror Mirror.”
The studio’s Snow White project has finally landed on March 30, Relativity said Thursday.
One of two Snow White movies coming out in the next few months, “Mirror Mirror” has had several release dates.
Originally, Relativity planned to release Tarsem Singh’s movie — which stars Julie Roberts, Armie Hammer, Lily Collins and Nathan Lane — on June 29.
But last May, Universal decided to change the release date of its “Snow White and the Huntsman” from December 21 to June 1. That would have put Universal’s movie about a month ahead of Relativity’s.
Relativity responded by moving “Mirror Mirror” ahead of Universal to March 16. Now, it has pushed the movie back about two weeks, leaving Sony’s “21 Jump Street” the only major movie opening on March 16.
The studio says it is not making any changes to the movie, merely tweaking its busy release schedule.
“Mirror Mirror” now opens against the Warner Bros. action movie “Wrath of the Titans.”
Relativity also switched the release date of “The Raven” from March 9 to April 27 and “House at the End of the Street” from April 20 to September 21.
