^Progressives split on how to block a centrist from nomination<
DEMOCRATS-2020-PROGRESSIVES:BLO _ Progressive Democrats are growing increasingly concerned that their preferred presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders risk splitting the movement’s vote and handing the Democratic nomination to Joe Biden.
The anxieties have led to calls by some for one of the two candidates to drop out before the March 3 “Super Tuesday” contests and endorse the other, in order to coalesce the left behind one standard-bearer. But others reject that approach and say both Sanders and Warren should stay in to amass delegates and join forces at the nominating convention in July.

^Early voting is coming to Pennsylvania in time for 2020. But it won’t be the same for everyone<
PA-2020-VOTING:PH _ Early voting is coming to Pennsylvania in time for the presidential election. Sort of.
Under a new law, people will have the option of requesting and submitting an absentee ballot during one in-person visit to county elections offices, starting more than a month and a half before an election day. It’s not technically what most people understand as “early voting” _ people won’t be using the usual voting machines _ but it’s a method for people to cast ballots in person in advance of the actual election without worrying about deadlines and mail problems.

^Florida stands to lose millions for undercounting children in census<
CENSUS-FLA-CHILDREN:OS _ Florida’s infants and toddlers face the greatest risk of being undercounted in the upcoming 2020 census _ an error that could cost the state “staggering” amounts of federal funding for everything from schools to children’s health care to food stamps.
Research of the previous census, in 2010, show that Florida had the second-largest loss in the nation from undercounting residents younger than 5 _ at least $67.5 million a year for the past decade _ and some advocates fear this year’s results could be worse.

^’We finally put a name and a face to this monster.’ Illinois officials ID killer of 16-year-old girl in 1976. Man, now dead, believed to be linked to other cases.<
ILL-COLDCASE:TB _ An unsolved string of killings of young suburban Chicago women in the 1970s frustrated police for decades. Now authorities in DuPage County, Ill., believe that by cracking one of those cold cases, they may have uncovered the trail of a serial killer.
By digging up the remains of the suspect, and matching his DNA to the crime, investigators were able to identify Bruce Lindahl as the killer of 16-year-old Pamela Maurer in Lisle in 1976.
Though Lindahl died a violent death himself long ago, police believe they may have uncovered a series of his victims, and may finally be able to render some measure of justice to his victims and their families.

^Benedict XVI disowns co-authorship of controversial celibacy book<
RELIG-POPE-CELIBACY:DPA _ Retired pope Benedict XVI never agreed to appear as the co-author of a controversial book on priestly celibacy, his personal secretary, Archbishop Georg Gaenswein, said Tuesday.
It was a remarkable disavowal of a work seen by many as both an attack on Pope Francis’ authority and a serious breach of Benedict’s promise to remain “hidden to the world” following his retirement in 2013.
In the book, Benedict is presented as arguing against a relaxation of the celibacy rule for priests, wading into a topic on which Francis is due to make a decision within a few weeks.

^10 years after Haiti’s earthquake: A decade of aftershocks and unkept promises<
HAITI-QUAKE-10YEARS:MI _ For nearly three years after the Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake, Haiti’s main public square was a densely crowded tent city packed with makeshift huts made from cardboard, plywood and bedsheets in the shadow of a ruined presidential palace.
Walk through the Champ de Mars today and the displaced survivors of the quake who once called it home are long gone _ replaced by ice cream vendors, novice student drivers and a new government administrative corridor in the center of the city.
As a disaster-prone Haiti marks the 10th anniversary of an unimaginable catastrophe, Haitians and the international community that pledged to help the country rebuild can point to a few signs of progress.
But a decade of political and economic aftershocks and billions of dollars in mismanaged and unaccounted-for aid have left the country struggling with its recovery, and no more ready today to withstand another massive tremor than it was the day the 7.0 magnitude quake struck.

^To this man, Islamic State’s ideology ‘just made sense.’ Now, he rejects extremism<
ISLAMICSTATE-SYMPATHIZER:LA _ On a rainy morning, Imran Rabbani returned to the Essex County Juvenile Detention Center so he could reunite with his former keepers.
Four years before, Rabbani had arrived at the facility in shackles after being swept up in an Islamic State-inspired plot to set off a pressure-cooker bomb in New York. He was 17.
Now, just starting his third semester at New York University, the 22-year-old Rabbani wanted to give thanks to the people who guided him away from Islamist extremism. As he waited in the library last summer, glancing at books that had proved crucial to his transformation, the room slowly filled with city officials, staff and guards.
