FILE - In this 1970 file photo, Moammar Gadhafi is shown at the Cairo Airport in Cairo, Egypt. Gadhafi was many things over many years: a dashing icon of Libyan revolution, a brazen patron of terrorists, the custodian of vast oil wealth, a dictator whose flamboyance masked grit and guile, and a longtime pariah on the road to rehabilitation in the West. From his cadre of female bodyguards to his penchant for pitching a tent on foreign visits, he was an object of fascination, ridicule and revulsion. Now, in perhaps his final reinvention, Gadhafi is an apocalyptic figure, the dispenser of terrible bloodshed who seeks to keep power four decades after he ousted King Idris in a coup when he was an army captain. (AP Photo, File)AP - President Barack Obama pledged Tuesday to increase diplomatic and political pressure on Moammar Gadhafi to compel the Libyan strongman to step down.

As cities and counties across the country grapple with shrinking budgets and soaring pension costs, how will they handle a workforce that long saw in the public sector a stable living and now finds itself at risk. (AP Photo/Orange County Register, Kevin Sullivan) MAGS OUT; LOS ANGELES TIMES OUTAP - Gov. Jerry Brown cut off budget negotiations Tuesday with Republican lawmakers, effectively ending his plan to ask Californians to vote on tax extensions in a June special election and creating uncertainty about what steps he and the Legislature will take to close the rest of California's deficit.
