In this Nov. 13, 2012 photo provided by David Bazarsky, a set of 18th century Torah finial bells are seen on display at the Museum of Fine Arts, in Boston. A disagreement over the ownership of the bells has prompted lawsuits between leaders of the nation's first Jewish congregation and the nation's oldest synagogue. The dispute started after leaders of the Touro Synagogue in Newport, R.I., agreed to sell the bells for $7.4 million to Bostonâs Museum of Fine Arts so they can set up an endowment to care for the synagogue.

In a photo provided by the Office of the governor, outgoing North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue signs pardons Monday, Dec. 31. 2012 to the Wilmington 10, a group wrongly convicted 40 years ago in a notorious Civil Rights-era prosecution that led to accusations of the state holding political prisoners. Perdue issued pardons of innocence Monday for the nine black men and one white woman who combined were sentenced to nearly 300 years in prison for the 1971 firebombing of a Wilmington grocery store after police shot a black teenager. The pardon means the state no longer thinks the 10 _ four of whom have since died _ committed a crime. (AP Photo/North Carolina Governors Office)
