FILE - In this Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2011 file photo, the Zenit-2SB rocket with the Phobos-Ground probe blasts off from its launch pad at the Cosmodrome Baikonur, Kazakhstan. Some of the recent failures of Russian spacecraft may have been caused by hostile interference, Roscosmos chief Vladimir Popovkin said. Popovkin made the comment when asked about the failure of the unmanned Phobos-Ground probe, which was to explore one of the Mars twin moons, Phobos, but became stranded while orbiting Earth after its Nov. 9 launch. The spacecraft is expected to fall to Earth around Jan. 15.

More US Catholics take complaints to church court (AP)

In this Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2012 photo, Rev. Patrick Lagges stands in front of a statue of Saint Francis in Chicago. Lagges, a canon lawyer for three decades in the Catholic Church, helped lead the canon law society workshop last year. It was once assumed that disagreements between Roman Catholic clergy and lay people would end one way: with the highest-ranking cleric getting the last word. That outcome is no longer a given. Lately, those trying to resolve such disputes in the U.S. have increasingly turned to the church's internal legal system, according to canon lawyers. Reasons for the uptick reflect changes in church and society; the American concern for individual freedoms likely has played a role as has the explosion of information on the Internet. But the change is also an unexpected consequence of the clergy molestation crisis. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green)AP - Parents upset by the admission policy at a parochial school.

Silenced musical treasures languish in Mich. vault (AP)

In this Dec. 7, 2011 photo, a three-row harpsichord from the University of Michigan's Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments lies in storage in Ann Arbor, Mich. Spanning centuries and continents, the instruments in the collection, worth at least $25 million by their chief caretaker’s estimate, are packed and stacked in an out-of-the-way storage room with water-stained ceilings. It’s hardly the environment envisioned for them when Detroit businessman Frederick Stearns gave the University of Michigan the base of the collection a century ago with instructions that the instruments be exhibited — not invisible. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya)AP - A massive cache of musical treasures that's grown to include a fragile harp-piano, the pioneering Moog synthesizer and the theremin used for "The Green Hornet" radio show has been shuffled over the years from a theater to an unheated barn and now languish, rarely seen or heard, in a Michigan storage vault.
