NATO to discuss downing of Turkish plane by Syria

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) ? NATO ambassadors will discuss this week whether to respond to Syria's downing of a Turkish jet in what Turkey insists was international airspace, although the likelihood of any military action by the alliance is low. The plane's downing has further hiked regional tensions over the conflict in Syria, where some 40 people were said to have died Sunday in new clashes between rebels and regime forces.

The jet's wreckage was found in the Mediterranean at a depth of 4,265 feet (1,300 meters), Turkish state media reported Sunday. The two pilots remain unaccounted for.

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said the jet was on a training flight to test Turkey's radar capabilities, not spying on Syria. He said the plane mistakenly strayed into Syrian airspace Friday, but was quickly warned to leave by Turkish authorities and was a mile inside international airspace when it was shot down off the coast of Latakia.

Syria insisted Saturday that the shooting was "not an attack" and that the aircraft had violated its airspace. But Turkish authorities say Syria didn't warn the Turkish plane nor send its own jets to confront it. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was expected to make a statement Tuesday and might announce some retaliatory steps.

"No one should dare to test Turkey's capabilities," Davutoglu said Sunday.

Meantime, at the request of Turkey, NATO's governing body will meet Tuesday to discuss the incident, said Oana Lungescu, a NATO spokeswoman. The consultations were called under article 4 of NATO's founding Washington Treaty.

"Under article 4, any ally can request consultations whenever, in the opinion of any of them, their territorial integrity, political independence or security is threatened," Lungescu said. The North Atlantic Council ? the ambassadors of the 28 NATO countries ? will decide whether to respond, she said.

The last time article 4 was invoked was nine years ago ? also by Turkey ? after tensions with neighboring Iraq escalated. However, that case did not lead to the invocation of article 5, which declares that an attack against any single NATO country shall be considered as an attack against them all.

Despite some opposition leaders' calls for Western military intervention in Syria, the United States and allies have been hesitant to get involved in what could prove a protracted conflict, preferring the diplomatic route. Syrian allies Russia and China have already shielded Syria from U.N. sanctions and stridently oppose any military intervention.

It's unlikely the downing of the Turkish plane will change those calculations, despite Ankara's appeal for the NATO meeting.

In October 1989, two Syrian MiG-21s violated Turkish air space and shot down a Turkish plane on a geographical survey mission, killing all five crew members. Syria at the time promised to severely punish the pilots, who disregarded Turkish orders not to enter Turkish airspace.

Dogu Ergil, a professor of political science at the Ankara University, told private NTV television that Turkey had repeatedly sent its jets across the Syrian border for several weeks to show its military muscle at the time.

The plane's downing drew criticism from other countries pushing Syrian President Bashar Assad to end his crack down on an increasingly armed popular uprising. Opposition activists say the conflict has killed 14,000 people, most of them civilians, over the past 15 months.

British Foreign Secretary William Hague said Sunday he was "gravely concerned by the Syrian regime's action in shooting down" the plane.

"This outrageous act underlines how far beyond accepted behavior the Syrian regime has put itself, and I condemn it wholeheartedly," Hague said in a statement. "The Assad regime should not make the mistake of believing that it can act with impunity. It will be held to account for its behavior."

Hague met last week with United Nations and Arab League special envoy Kofi Annan for talks on plans for an international summit, while British officials discussed the issue in Geneva on Saturday with members of Annan's team. Hague noted Sunday that "The UK stands ready to pursue robust action at the United Nations Security Council."

Italy's foreign minister decried the shooting down of the plane as "a further, very grave and unacceptable action by the Assad regime." In a written statement, Giulio Terzi promised that Italy will play an active role in the NATO meeting Tuesday.

Syrian activists reported violence in different parts of the country Sunday, saying nearly 40 people were killed.

The deadliest incident was in the northern town of Ariha where a shell hit a home killing seven members of the same family, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.? A video posted online showed the seven men's bodies, some badly mutilated, including one who had part of his head blown off.

Activists also reported intense shelling and clashes between rebels and troops in the eastern city of Deir el-Zour and the central city of Homs, which has been under a government attack for the past two weeks.

Earlier Sunday, activists said rebels captured a military base in the northern Syrian province of Aleppo, confiscating large amounts of ammunition. The Observatory said 16 government troops died in the attacks on the base near the rebel-held town of Daret Azzeh and nearby checkpoints early Sunday.

Area activist Mohammed Saeed said the rebels had removed hundreds of artillery shells from the base. Saeed added via Skype that troops retaliated with intense shelling on the area using helicopter gunships.

On Friday, state media said 25 people were kidnapped by "terrorists" and killed in Daret Azzeh. Activists said the 25 killed were pro-regime gunmen known as shabiha.

Syria's state-run SANA news agency, meanwhile, said gunmen from Turkey clashed with Syrian border guards in Rabiah, a region in the coastal Latakia province. SANA said several infiltrators died in the late Saturday clash, while others reportedly returned to Turkey. It said several Syrian border guards were hurt, but didn't specify how many.

Turkey denies sheltering armed Syrian rebels, although many Syrian refugees have fled to camps on the Turkish side of the border.

Also on Sunday, Syrian opposition groups met in Brussels to hash out differences and plan for a democratic transition. The disparate groups are divided over whether outside military intervention would help or hurt and whether to engage in dialogue with Assad's regime. The conference, attended by some 50 people, will continue Monday.

Jordanian Information Minister Sameeh Maaytah, meanwhile, said Sunday that three other Syrian pilots had defected last week, even before a pilot flew his warplane into neighboring Jordan. He said the other three crossed overland into Jordan. He was unsure if the four pilots knew each other or had coordinated their escape from Syria.

Amanda Nejat, Danville Mother, Banned From Nordstrom After Leaving Infants In Car (VIDEO)

A mother of 11-week-old twins has been banned from the Nordstrom in Pleasanton, Calif., after authorities discovered she left her infant children locked inside her SUV while she shopped.

Amanda Nejat, from Danville, Calif., was arrested in February after a woman discovered the children inside the car and called the police. She has pleaded no contest to the crime on Wednesday.

(SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO)

According to the Contra Costa Times, the judge also barred the new mother from leaving her children unattended and required her to take 26 parenting classes and attend counseling.

Nejat, 46, refused to comment to the media.

The incident unfolded at Pleasanton's Stoneridge Mall on February 8 after a women discovered the two crying infants in the back seat of Nejat's Cadillac Escalade. Pleasanton Police Officer Larry Cox told Danville Patch that based on security footage, it appeared Nejat had been inside Nordstrom for at least 40 minutes.

Cox said that Nejat originally told authorities she had to use the bathroom, and later admitted she returned some items to Nordstrom. Her infants were unharmed and released to the custody of their father.

Nejat's criminal conviction expunged if she follows the terms of her agreement for two years. For more, take a look at CBS News' video report on the case below:

Americans represented in 2nd round of NHL draft

PITTSBURGH (AP) ? Anthony Stolarz tried to drink in the biggest moment of his life.

The crowd inside Consol Energy Center never gave him a chance, booing the lanky 6-foot-5 goaltender the moment he stepped onto the stage after being selected by the Philadelphia Flyers in the second round of the NHL draft.

Hey, it's what happens when you wear orange and black at the home of the Pittsburgh Penguins, even if it's over a suit. And Stolarz knows it's only going to get worse if he ever makes it to the big club.

"It's good to know there's such a passionate rivalry there," he said.

The not-so-friendly welcome to the NHL for Stolarz was about as eventful as it got during a quiet final day of the draft. Six drama-free rounds whizzed by Saturday without the fireworks produced Friday night, when the Pittsburgh Penguins shook up the league by sending center Jordan Staal to Carolina and defenseman Zbynek Michalek to Phoenix.

"Starting in the last week, some of the things going on behind the scenes felt more like free agency or a trade deadline than a draft," Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma said.

Maybe for the Penguins. Not so much for the rest of the league. The only trades Saturday consisted mostly of an exchange of draft picks as some of the biggest names out there ? namely Columbus Blue Jackets forward Rick Nash and Vancouver goaltender Roberto Luongo ? stayed put.

"I'm not surprised," said Canucks general manager Mike Gillis. "You need a lot of synergy to get trades done. You need compelling reasons to do them. If we're considering trading a very high end player, you need compelling reasons to do it. We're going to go through and we exhaust every one of those reasons."

Besides, it likely won't remain quiet for long. There could be more movement over the next week before the free agency period begins July 1.

"There was certainly plenty of offers that were made, at least that came my way," Penguins general manager Ray Shero said. "I think you'll see these things start to pick up once we get to July 1. There might be a domino."

No wonder teams seemed to be in a hurry to get out the door and on to bigger things. After they needed four hours to get through the first round Friday, the final six rounds were completed in under three hours.

The Blue Jackets opened the second round by taking Swedish goaltender Oscar Dansk with the 31st overall pick, though he was quickly followed by a number of Americans.

There were 56 Americans selected in the draft, including nine in the second round, led by winger Nicolas Kerdiles. The 18-year-old from California was taken with the 36th overall pick by the Anaheim Ducks.

The Winnipeg Jets grabbed center Lukas Sutter with the 39th pick. Sutter is the son of former NHL player Rich Sutter and the cousin of new Pittsburgh center Brandon Sutter, who was traded to the Penguins on Friday in exchange for Staal. Uncle Darryl coached the L.A. Kings to their first Stanley Cup earlier this month.

Lukas Sutter sounded an awful lot like the rest of the members of hockey's most prodigious family when talking about his future.

"I'm the kind of gritty two-way player teams need," Sutter said.

There were plenty of players from that vein chosen Saturday in a draft that lacked the kind of offensive firepower of recent years.

The Edmonton Oilers drafted dynamic Nail Yakupov with the No. 1 pick Friday, hoping the speedy Russian can provide the once-proud franchise a much-needed boost. But the first round was dominated by defense.

While the first-round picks are considered near locks to one day get a shot in the NHL, the road to the league is longer for those chosen on the second day. That's not a big deal for players like Stolarz, who never imagined he'd be in position to get drafted a year ago.

The New Jersey native grew up rooting for the Devils and idolizing Martin Brodeur. He was cut by a pair of Eastern Junior Hockey League teams last summer before catching on with the Corpus Christi IceRays following an open tryout.

Yes, they play hockey a couple hours north of the Mexico border. It was news to Stolarz too.

"I heard it was right on the beach," he said with a laugh. "That was good enough for me."

Stolarz, who is 6-foot-5 and has a wingspan of nearly 7 feet, will play at the University of Nebraska-Omaha next year, and it will likely be several years before he's NHL-ready. The same can be said for most of the 181 players selected Saturday, if they make it to the league at all.

Former IRA commander to meet Queen Elizabeth II

LONDON (AP) ? The Irish Republican Army-linked Sinn Fein party says one of its leaders, Martin McGuinness, will meet Queen Elizabeth II next week ? a once-unthinkable symbol of progress toward peace in Northern Ireland.

McGuinness, a former IRA commander, has been invited to attend an event with the queen in his role as deputy first minister of Northern Ireland's Catholic-Protestant power-sharing government.

Neither Sinn Fein nor Buckingham Palace revealed detailed plans for the meeting. Britain's Press Association news agency said McGuiness and the queen would meet and shake hands in a private room at the beginning of the engagement. But even if it amounts to little more than a quick handshake, the meeting will have great symbolic value.

The queen and her husband, Prince Philip, will visit Northern Ireland on Tuesday and Wednesday as part of her United Kingdom-wide tour celebrating 60 years on the throne.

Sinn Fein leaders declined to meet the queen last year during her first state visit to the neighboring Republic of Ireland, arguing it was still too soon after the end of decades of conflict and bloodshed.

But party President Gerry Adams said Friday the party has decided McGuinness should meet the monarch, a decision that is sure to meet opposition from some Irish republicans, who want to end British rule in Northern Ireland.

"We don't have to do it. We're doing it because it's the right thing to do, despite the fact that it will cause difficulties for our own folk," Adams said.

[Slideshow: Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee celebrations]

"But it's good for Ireland. It's good for this process we're trying to develop. It's the right time and the right reason," he added.

Buckingham Palace said it understood McGuinness had been invited to Wednesday's event in Belfast for the Co-operation Ireland charity, which works to bring Catholic and Protestant communities together.

It was a sign of progress toward peace that the royal visit was announced several weeks in advance.

The queen has regularly visited Northern Ireland over the past four decades of bloodshed, but none of her previous visits had been announced even a minute ahead of time to minimize the risk of attack.

Threats against the royal family have been real, as evidenced by the Provisional IRA's 1979 assassination of Lord Louis Mountbatten, Prince Philip's 79-year-old uncle. Several small IRA splinter groups still launch gun and bomb attacks in Northern Ireland.

But the situation has been transformed since the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 brought a virtual end to a conflict, known as "the Troubles," that saw about 3,000 deaths over three decades.

Political reconciliation has advanced rapidly since 2005, when the Provisional IRA renounced violence and disarmed, and 2007, when Sinn Fein entered a power-sharing government alongside Northern Ireland's British Protestant majority. Their unlikely coalition has proved remarkably stable.

The meeting with McGuinness follows the queen's historic visit to the Ireland in May 2011, the first by a British monarch since the republic gained its independence from Britain almost a century ago.

During the trip she laid a wreath at a monument to Irish rebels who fought against British rule, spoke a few words in Irish during a speech, and expressed sympathy "to all those who have suffered as a consequence of our troubled past."

McGuinness has since said he was struck by these gestures of reconciliation.

Peter Hain, a former Northern Ireland secretary in the British government, said the meeting is "of huge historic importance."

"It does not mean Sinn Fein have departed one inch from their commitment to an independent Ireland. Nor does it mean the queen will forget the assassination of her uncle, Lord Mountbatten," Hain said.

"But it does show in shining terms how everybody is turning their backs on the past of horror and violence and moving towards peace between previously bitter enemies," he added.

Better NJ Nursing Homes for Greater Golden Years

For those with aged loved ones within their family, taking these much loved relatives to a health care center might be one of many toughest selections they deal with. The problem in your labor and exclusive life and the increasing care specifications of your senior cousin might force you to agree them to a care center. Recent modifications among nursing homes in NJ may make the decision easier, though.

Change In Employees

One of the greatest improvements is among personnel. Maybe you are familiar with the stereotype of the nursing home staff, because of their cold, unsmiling faces and colder approach.

The staff in the nursing homes in NJ today differs from that stereotype. It is certain the people who looks after your senior relative will do so with friendliness and the greatest care about their needs. They are now practical and mindful of the needs of people under their care and their relatives.

The modern stereotype these staffers intend to make is that of a kind, caring and professional health professional who attends to the wants of their charges, directly cooperates and coordinates with relatives and the elder's health care professional, and makes certain the senior enjoys the twilight of their lives.

Home Aside From Home

In the past, elderly care amenities appeared and felt like a ward. Nowadays, several nursing homes in NJ experience a lot more like a home. Aside from the numerous functions that assist care for citizens, a number of these amenities have amenities that retain their inhabitants busy and lively.

A few innovations consist of providing seniors individual plots of land to cultivate or equipment to assist with a hobby to engage in. A few engage their neighboring areas in functions for the inhabitants, such as regular trips and participation in neighborhood occasions.

Many NJ nursing homes also promote exclusive pastime rooms. They are open to inhabitants who desire for peaceful contemplation or sleep. These are growing to be a typical attribute in these amenities, along with the more traditional communal dining and social halls.

Great Principles Of Medical Care

Today's nursing homes in NJ are performing their best to keep up the best requirements of health care excellence, as they know some individuals may have specific health issues. The new standard is to provide inhabitants with the latest in health care in the nursing home, including state-of-the-art rehabilitate amenities for the grandparents who need it.

In hiring employees, they select individuals with the correct credentials, especially in elderly care. Resident doctors are now obtainable, along with consultants. Non-medical employees also obtains considerable training in managing seniors. Faith based and religious services are usually available today.

Perhaps the biggest change among nursing homes in NJ could be the special coordination between family doctors and facility's employees. This makes certain tailored care based on the wants of the person, including the application of specific diet programs. This new example also means the delivery of appropriate quantities of health care to inhabitants happens in a timely way.
