NEW YORK - The fate of Dow Jones & Co. now rests with the Bancroft family, the company's longtime controlling shareholders, who must decide whether to sell the publisher of The Wall Street Journal to Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., a global media conglomerate that owns Twentieth Century Fox and the Fox News Channel.
The board of Dow Jones said late Tuesday it was ready to sign off on Murdoch's proposal to buy the company for $5 billion. However, the key remains with the Bancroft family, whose three dozen members have been deeply divided over whether to sell to Murdoch. The are expected to meet Monday to discuss the deal.
Dow Jones wound up agreeing to Murdoch's initial …
Rory Sabbatini has already won at Hogan's Alley. Now he shares the lead going into the final round at Byron Nelson's tournament.
"Anything associated with his name would be an absolute honor," Sabbatini said after a 5-under 65 Saturday to keep a share of the lead at the Byron Nelson Championship.
Two years after his last victory, at the Colonial where Ben Hogan's larger-than-life statue is prominent, Sabbatini is in position to win again after five birdies in a seven-hole stretch midway through his third round.
Sabbatini and John Mallinger, who entered the third round tied as co-leaders, both shot 65 to get to 13-under 197. That is two …

As the price of a vehicle goes up, so too does the power of the magnifying glass with which I scrutinize it. And at nearly $62,000, I feel justified in hauling out the microscope for BMW's tank-like X5. Ironically, the luxury SUV looks pretty darned good when viewed that closely, but when I pull back for the macro view I find some annoying flaws and noteworthy virtues.
First on the "annoying" list are the X5's doors, which are so unbelievably heavy that my 6-year-old daughter couldn't get in and out of the vehicle. To those who rationalize all things German, this might symbolize that the door is extremely strong and sturdy, which I'm sure it is. But so are many lighter and …

South Africa's new president says he wants his ousted predecessor to continue working to bring political factions in neighboring Zimbabwe together in a unity government.
President Kgalema Motlanthe says in a statement released Thursday that he is confident Thabo Mbeki can build on "the historic successes" of his mediation effort so far.
Zimbabwe's opposition leaders and its President Robert Mugabe signed a power-sharing agreement mediated by Mbeki on Sept. 15. But implementing the agreement has stalled because the parties cannot decide how to allocate key Cabinet posts.
Without a political agreement, Zimbabweans cannot move on to tackle a growing political and economic crisis.
Valencia has reportedly rejected a euro47 million (US$69.5 million) offer from Real Madrid for Spain striker David Villa.
Valencia officials met Monday to discuss Madrid's offer, which several board members were willing to accept, the Web site of sports daily Marca said.
Madrid's bid could have been an attempt to test the resolve of Valencia's new president Vicente Soriano, who said on taking charge that neither Villa nor teammate David Silva would be sold. Silva recently signed a new five-year contract.
Valencia needs funds to finance the club's move to a new stadium.
Juan Villalonga _ who was hired as Valencia's financial consultant and then fired two weeks later _ estimated the club's debt at euro739 million (US$1,091 million) a month ago. Villalonga is the former chief executive of Spanish telecommunications giant Telefonica.
If Villa joined Madrid, it would likely hasten the departure of Madrid forward Robinho to Chelsea.
Robinho pleaded with the Spanish champions last Friday to sell him to the London club before the European transfer window closes at the end of the month.
However, Madrid president Ramon Calderon said the Brazilian would have to pay a large sum to break his contract, which has two years to run.
While Robinho's buy-out fee is set at euro150 million (US$220 million), Calderon is said to be willing to accept around euro50 million (US$73.9 million), a sum which would fund the club's reported bid for Villa.
Villa was the top scorer in the European Championship in June with four goals and helped Spain to win the tournament.
The 27-year-old player, who has spent three years at Valencia, played at Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Sunday in his team's 4-2 defeat in the Spanish Supercup second leg. Madrid won 6-5 on aggregate.
Oil prices settled lower Wednesday after swelling gasoline supplies offset a tumble in crude oil stockpiles to their lowest level in more than three years.
Crude inventories fell by 6.8 million barrels, or 2.3 percent, to 282.8 million barrels during the week ended Jan. 4, the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration said in its weekly report. It marked the eighth consecutive decline, dragging supplies to their lowest point since October 2004.
The drop was more than 8 times the 800,000 barrels that analysts surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had forecast. However, gasoline inventories beat expectations, rising sharply by 5.3 million barrels, or 2.6 percent, to 213.1 million barrels. Analysts forecast stockpiles would climb by only 1.6 million barrels last week.
"The gasoline market won the tug of war," said Tim Evans, an analyst at Citigroup Inc. in New York.
Contributing to the drop in crude oil stocks were efforts by Gulf Coast refineries to minimize their inventories, which are subject to year-end taxes, he said. Crude supplies also tend to bottom out early in the year, Evans said.
"When we have weak gasoline demand, as we do now, and when we have swelling gasoline inventories, as we do now, it's hard to make the case that the overall petroleum market is critically tight," he said.
Light, sweet crude for February delivery lost 66 cents to settle at $95.67 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It rose as high as $97.97 after the inventory report.
February gasoline fell 3.84 cents to end at $2.4355 a gallon. Rising energy prices and a shaky economy have dampened demand for the motor fuel.
In London, February Brent crude fell $1.17 to settle at $94.37 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.
The weekly report also showed that inventories of distillate fuel, which includes diesel and heating oil, rose by 1.5 million barrels to 128.7 million barrels. Analysts had expected a drop of 300,000 barrels.
Heating oil futures fell 2.29 cents to $2.6134 a gallon. Natural gas prices climbed 13.2 cents to settle at $8.099 per 1,000 cubic feet.
U.S. refineries ran at an average 91.3 percent of total capacity, an increase of 1.9 percentage points, beating the expected 0.1 percentage point gain, the report said.
Oil was supported somewhat by a surge in the price of gold, analysts said. Gold futures surged above $880 an ounce Tuesday to their highest level ever, not accounting for inflation.
A monthly EIA report Tuesday predicted oil supplies will be tight this year but ease in 2009. The EIA predicted oil prices will average $87 a barrel this year, up from a previous estimate of $85. The average price will then fall to $82 a barrel in 2009, it said.
A barrel of light, sweet crude surpassed $100 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange for the first time last week.

Major cotton producing provinces and regions will considerably reduce their cotton fields this year, as cotton growing areas sharply increased last year.
The key reasons for the reduction include: (1) The supply of cotton far exceeds demand on the global market because global cotton production reached an all-time high last year. (2) The income of local cotton growers has sharply decreased because cotton prices have been falling since the second half of 2001. At the end of 2001, cotton prices decreased by 19.4% compared to the same 2000 period, and even fell by 50% in some regions.
The cotton growing areas in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Anhui and Henan Provinces (China's three largest cotton producers) are expected to decrease by 21.8%,17.7% and 10.3% respectively. The areas in Hunan, Hubei, Shandong and Jiangsu Provinces are to be reduced in the range of 7% to 9%.

Republican John McCain raised the specter of a nuclear Iran in a speech to a pro-Israel group, once again chastising Democrat Barack Obama for his willingness to meet with leaders of Iran and other U.S. foes.
McCain has criticized Obama for saying in a debate last year that he would meet leaders of Iran and other U.S. foes without preconditions. The Arizona senator argues Obama is naive and inexperienced to think that such a meeting would yield progress.
"It's hard to see what such a summit with President (Mahmoud) Ahmadinejad would actually gain, except an earful of anti-Semitic rants, and a worldwide audience for a man who denies one Holocaust and talks before frenzied crowds about starting another," McCain told the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
He criticized Obama for seeming to suggest that Iran is trying to develop a nuclear program because the U.S. refuses to engage in presidential-level talks. McCain said the Clinton administration in particular tried to engage Iran for two years, even lifting some sanctions, to no avail.
"Even so, we hear talk of a meeting with the Iranian leadership offered up as if it were some sudden inspiration, a bold new idea that somehow nobody has ever thought of before," McCain said as dozens in the audience laughed.
His campaign said he was referring to Obama's comments in an interview last month with Fox News: "Iran is stronger now than when George Bush took office. And the fact that we have not talked to them means that they have been developing nuclear weapons, funding Hamas, funding Hezbollah. We have had no impact whatsoever as we pursue our policies."
Obama's campaign said Monday that McCain supports an Iraq war that has made the U.S. and Israel less secure.
"He promises to continue a war in Iraq that has emboldened Iran and strengthened its hand," Obama spokesman Hari Sevugan said. "He promises sanctions that the Bush administration has been unable to persuade the (United Nations) Security Council to deliver."
In his speech, McCain called for measures aimed at increasing pressure on Iran, such as severely limiting Iranian imports of gasoline, targeted sanctions such as denying visas and freezing assets and a worldwide campaign to divest from companies doing business with Iran.
McCain called for financial sanctions on the Central Bank of Iran, which he said aids in terrorism and weapons proliferation, and he criticized Obama for opposing a measure to designate Iran's Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization responsible for killing U.S. troops in Iraq.
McCain has warm relations with the group, which is influential in the Jewish community. His call for sanctions against gasoline imports is a priority that AIPAC's members plan to lobby for on Capitol Hill later in the week.
In contrast, Obama has worked to reassure Jewish voters who have expressed some unease about his candidacy.
"I welcome the Muslim world's accurate perception that I am interested in opening up dialogue and interested in moving away from the unilateral policies of George Bush, but nobody should mistake that for a softer stance when it comes to terrorism or when it comes to protecting Israel's security or making sure that the alliance is strong and firm," Obama said in an interview last month with The Atlantic magazine. "You will not see, under my presidency, any slackening in commitment to Israel's security."
(This version CORRECTS UPDATES with Obama comment and background; corrects that Obama voted against Revolutionary Guard measure sted Central Bank measure.)
On the one hand, they wanted Blagojevich to be convicted and to just go away. They got their first wish -- the lone felony count of lying to the FBI -- but not the second, because we'll be hearing from him all the way up to the crucial midterm elections.
Meanwhile, that political class has always wanted to see U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald embarrassed and for him to just go away. They've gotten their first wish with this verdict -- what with Lincoln refusing to roll over in his grave -- but not the second. Fitzgerald will live to fight another day.
When I speak of the political class, by the way, I'm not just talking about Democrats, although they are the ones moaning in pain at the moment at the prospect of having the airwaves filled with GOP election ads attacking them over Blagojevich the same way they, just four years ago, bludgeoned Republicans with George Ryan.
But let's start with the Democrats, since today, ominously, is the Governor's Day rally at the state fairgrounds in Springfield. Let's just say that Pat Quinn, Alexi Giannoulias, Mike Madigan and all the other Dems won't need a corn dog to get indigestion.
They'll get that from reporters asking their thoughts on the fiscal wisdom of retrying an already impeached, broke, convicted former governor when the state and federal governments are bleeding red ink and there aren't enough cops to protect kids from being gunned down in our streets.
Citizens are fed up with a government that many believe has done little for them in the way of jobs and public safety.
And so, suddenly, neither Rod Blagojevich nor Patrick Fitzgerald is getting a lot of love.
Blagojevich, who became the first Democratic governor in a quarter century to head a state in which his party controlled everything -- the House, the Senate and virtually every executive office -- used his awesome power to peddle a populism that he couldn't translate into accountable, transparent, effective government.
Fitzgerald, who is anything but a politician, used his own awesome power in this case with too heavy a hand. And so Blagojevich wasn't hit with a federal indictment but a veritable Mack truck of complicated and redundant charges.
The feds are accustomed to winning. They wear it, too often, as a righteous entitlement. There is value in this loss.
But Blagojevich, who now faces five years in prison, thought he could play his populist game while turning government into his own pay-to-play profit center. The feds were investigating him almost from the beginning of his first term -- and for good reason. What part of that did he not get?
And so the political class is stuck with Blagojevich on radio, TV and, heaven help us, more reality TV for a lot longer. That won't help the Democrats.
And they're stuck with Fitzgerald, who will not only retry Blago but will very soon go after Bill Cellini, one of the most powerful, least-known Republicans in this state. It was some of Cellini's political pals, in concert with Blagojevich's inner circle, who in 2004 tried to persuade the Bush White House to dump Fitzgerald. It was outrageous and didn't work.
Cellini's trial won't help the Republicans.
Citizens, meanwhile, are left in the lurch. Not feeling good about much of anything at the moment.

Different technologies are available to reduce moisture content of wet manure and help create valueadded products.
ONE SOLUTION to nutrient overloading from manure is creating value-added products that can be economically shipped outside of an overburdened watershed. Value-added manure products can be produced by composting, chemical stabilization, dehydration and pelletizing. For all of these technologies, the manure must be reasonably dry at the start. With the exception of litter from broiler and turkey farms, most manure comes out of the barn wet. Typically, moisture contents of raw manure range from 85 to 98 percent, depending on how much bedding is used and how the manure is collected (e.g. flushed or scraped).
Moisture content can be reduced by adding dry amendments, as is often practiced in composting. However, it is often preferable to reduce moisture content simply by removing water - dewatering. Unlike adding dry amendments, dewatering minimizes the amount of material that needs to be handled and processed. Several technologies are used for reducing the moisture content of wet manure, including gravity separation (e.g. settling), natural drying, mechanical separation and drying with heat (i.e. dehydration). Each technology has its target applications and limitations in removing water.
GRAVITY SEPARATION
Gravity separation methods, such as settling basins, are often the first step in dewatering liquid manure. In a settling basin, the velocity of liquid manure flow decreases, causing the solids to settle by gravity to the bottom of the basin. The mostly-liquid portion above drains away through a pipe or over a weir. Periodically, the solids are harvested from the basin. Various types of settling devices are used, from concrete vessels to earthen ponds. They are used for liquid manures, primarily to capture solids from liquid streams rather than lower the moisture content of solids. Gravity separation is only partially effective. A large amount of solids escapes with the liquid, and the harvested solids still have a very high moisture content. However, it is now practical to dry the solids by other means.
NATURAL DRYING
Under the right climatic conditions, evaporation beds, ponds, and small piles can effectively remove moisture by natural aeration. Essentially, these devices promote evaporation, maximizing the exposure of the manure to air, wind and solar radiation. Agitation is often used to enhance drying. Natural drying methods are mechanically simple and inexpensive, although they require a relatively large land area. Potentially, they can produce very dry manure. However, they are at the mercy of the weather so natural aeration techniques are only effective in dry climates or dry seasons.
MECHANICAL SEPARATORS
Because of the limitations of gravity separation and natural aeration, many farms use mechanical dewatering equipment. Mechanical dewatering techniques are used both to reduce the solids load on liquid manure handling systems and to recover solids at a lower moisture content for composting or as bedding. Mechanical separators employ a combination of pumps, screens, conveyors, rollers and other devices to separate water from manure solids. Several different mechanical separators are used. Stationary screens, roller presses and screw presses are three common types. Most stationary screens are simple sloping screens. After liquid manure is pumped on the screens, the liquid drains through the holes while solids remain on the surface and eventually slough off into a pile. Roller presses also use screens (flat or circular) but add a set of rollers that squeeze out additional water from the solids before they leave the screen. Screw presses squeeze water from manure with a rotating auger or screw inside the press. The auger forces manure against a screen, pushing water out the screen holes. The squeezed solids are conveyed out of the press by the auger. Stationary screens can produce solids with a moisture content in the 80 to 90 percent range. Solids from roller and screw presses typically range from 75 to 80 percent moisture.
DEHYDRATION
Driving off moisture by heat and air flow is warranted when the manure must be very dry and natural drying isn't feasible. In a sense, composting and lime stabilization perform this using the heat generated by the process to fuel drying. Most manure drying systems use fossil fuel for heat. Dehydration take places in vessels such as rotary drums or cyclones. Cyclone type mechanisms employing high-speed air are attracting interest because they can both evaporate moisture efficiently and reduce particle size.
Drying systems - whether natural or with fuel-heated air - concentrate the nutrients in the solids, although some nutrients, such as ammonia, are lost in the process. In contrast, gravity and mechanical separation produce two materials that must be managed liquids and solids. The lion's share of the nutrients remains with the liquid.
Chicago's broadcast newsrooms rose to the occasion Monday asflood waters rose throughout the Loop.
From midmorning on, all three network-owned television stationsdumped their regular daytime lineups of soap operas, game shows andgabfests to air live, continuous reports on the crisis.
Radio's one glaring exception to otherwise predictable coveragewas the decision by "all-news" WMAQ-AM (670) to cut away from thenews to broadcast the Chicago White Sox home opener during theafternoon.
Not since the death of Mayor Harold Washington in 1987 has onelocal news story so thoroughly dominated the air waves around theclock. Held together by top-gun news anchors, broadcast coverage wasprofessional, responsible and, for the most part, remarkably free ofhysteria.
"I can't imagine anything as big as this story," said oneseasoned television news executive, who asked not to be identified."You've got about a million people affected by a freak accident forwhich the city had no backup plan. The impact is incalculable."
Even the nation's top-rated network newscast, "ABC World NewsTonight with Peter Jennings," saw fit to lead with the Chicago story.
Handicapped by electrical power shutoffs prompted by the floodswas WLS-Channel 7 (with studios at 190 N. State and transmitter atthe Sears Tower both within the affected area). The station wasknocked off the air for about four minutes around 11:30 a.m., withcolor bars filling the screen. Regular broadcasting resumed thanksto a backup generator that supplied limited power.
"We're operating with maxiTurn to Page 43 Continued from Page 15 mum staff and minimum equipment," Channel 7 news anchor Mary AnnChilders told viewers. For several hours, the station was forced todo without its usual array of graphics, maps and othercomputer-generated visual enhancements.
Although nonbroadcast personnel also were evacuated from NBCTower as a precaution, WMAQ-Channel 5 was up and running with thestory from the start of its "Chicago Live" program at 9 a.m.
Channel 5 news anchor Ron Magers, who performed masterfullyalongside Warner Saunders in the studio, showed no sign of fatigueeven though he had been working since pre-dawn hours Monday asfill-in newscaster for Jonathon Brandmeier's WLUP-AM/FM (1000 and97.9) morning show.
WBBM-Channel 2 was the last of the big three to go on withcontinuous coverage, although it quickly recovered once news anchorBill Kurtis rushed in to the studio from out of town, and reporterJay Levine took command at the Chicago River accident site.
At one point, Levine immodestly but truthfully told viewers: "Ithink we're in the right spot - but we have been for much of themorning." His panoramic vantage point - on the eighth floor balconyof an attorney's office overlooking the scene - was unbeatable.
Perhaps hardest hit of all Chicago television outlets wasWCIU-Channel 26, which was knocked off the air for hours when powerwas lost at its studios in the Chicago Board of Trade building, 141W. Jackson Blvd. Also affected for limited periods were WTTW-Channel11, WPWR-Channel 50 and WEHS-Channel 60, all of which share SearsTower transmitter space with Channel 7 and Channel 26.
On the radio side, officials of seven local stations held theircollective breaths for most of the day as they faced the prospect oflosing their transmissions from atop Sears Tower.
WBBM-FM (96.3), WJMK-FM (104.3) and WCKG-FM (105.9) had nobackup transmitters to employ if power to their Sears site had beencut. The four others, WLIT-FM (93.9), WLS-FM (94.7), WTMX-FM (101.9)and WWBZ-FM (103.5), had auxiliary transmission plans in place.Sears Tower never shut off its antennas, however.
Elsehwere on the air Monday: WMAQ described its decision to switch to the White Sox broadcast at1:15 p.m. as a "tough call." News director Jim Frank said: "In ourview the (flood) story had stabilized itself by 1 o'clock and theworst of the crisis had passed." The station's competitors wereflabbergasted by the call. WJMK and sister station WJJD-AM (1160), which lost power temporarilyat its 180 N. Michigan studios, played tapes for about two hoursduring the middle of the day. No one answered phones at the station. After power was cut at the 333 N. Michigan studios of ABC Radiocommentator Paul Harvey, WLS-AM (890) invited Harvey to broadcastfrom its facilities at 190 N. State. All-talk WLS also was the firstto take out newspaper ads urging listeners to "keep your head abovewater!"
