Students vandalize U.S. Embassy: Some 1,000 university students pelted the U.S. Embassy in Damascus with stones, branches and bags of rubbish on Wednesday to protest the deaths of Palestinians in clashes with Israeli security forces. The demonstration was one of several across the Middle East, where reports on the bloodshed dominated newspapers and television screens. About 500 riot police used batons and tear gas to stop students from entering the U.S. Embassy in Damascus, but one man managed to reach the roof and began to bring down the U.S. flag.

F ilm m a k e r H a s d ie s : Polish filmmaker Wojciech Has, who won an international cult following with “The Saragossa Manuscript” and headed Poland’s renowned Lodz Film School in the 1990s, died Tuesday. He was 75. Has, who suffered from diabetes and underwent surgery twice in September, died at a hospital in Lodz, said the head of the school's directing depart­ ment, Juliusz Janicki.

But bears? Oh my. Phoenix and its exploding suburbs are suddenly a magnet for black bears, which live in the mountains outside town. Some are coming so far into the city you would swear they took the bus. Arizona’s Game and Fish Department nabbed a bear Wednesday in Mesa, less than a day after finding one in Scottsdale.
