Vatican: Cardinals could meet sooner to choose new pope
Rome (CNN) -- The cardinals who must pick a
successor to Pope Benedict XVI after he steps down on February 28
could meet to make the decision sooner than thought, a Vatican
spokesman said Saturday.
The conclave, the meeting which will bring together
the 117 cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church, could start before
March 15 if all the cardinals are already in Rome, Father Federico
Lombardi said.
Lombardi had previously said the conclave was likely
to start between March 15 and 19.
But he gave new details Saturday, saying that
because the pope had resigned rather than the conclave being
triggered by his death, there was scope for the time frame to be
brought forward.
The decision may not come until after Benedict's
departure and lies in the hands of the cardinals, he added.
Opinion: Pope Benedict shows true leadership by
resigning
Benedict is the first pope to step down in nearly
600 years, throwing the Vatican into some confusion.
Experts are working on points of the Apostolic
Constitution that need to be clarified or interpreted, Lombardi said,
and are expected to give pointers on the new protocol soon.
Lombardi said he had met with the pope Saturday
morning and found him "calm and relaxed even in these so
emotional days."
Benedict, 85, shocked the world Monday when
heannounced his intention to stand down at the end of the month,
citing the frailty of old age.

While Benedict won't be directly involved in his
successor's selection, his influence will undoubtedly be felt. He
appointed 67 of the 117 cardinals that are set to make the decision.
Messi passes another milestone as Barça ease 15 clear
(CNN) -- Lionel Messi scored his 300th goal for
Barcelona then promptly scored his 301st as the La Liga leaders came
from behind to beat Granada 2-1 on Saturday.
The Argentine pounced when Granada keeper Tono could
only parry a Cesc Fabregas drive in the 50th minute to level the
scores after Nigeria striker Odion Ighalo has given the home side the
lead in the 26th minute.
The poacher then turned game-winner 17 minutes from
the end, curling a free kick over the wall and past the flailing hand
of Toto to register his 36th goal of the Barca's league campaign.

Write about a history of a product
In May, 1886, Coca Cola was invented by
Doctor John Pemberton a pharmacist from Atlanta, Georgia. John
Pemberton concocted the Coca Cola formula in a three legged brass
kettle in his backyard. The name was a suggestion given by John
Pemberton's bookkeeper Frank Robinson.
Until the 1960s, both small town and
big city dwellers enjoyed carbonated beverages at the local soda
fountain or ice cream saloon. Often housed in the drug store,
the soda fountain counter served as a meeting place for people of all
ages. Often combined with lunch counters, the soda fountain declined
in popularity as commercial ice cream, bottled soft drinks, and fast
food restaurants became popular.
