Bishop Eddie Long apologizes for last week's ceremony at New Birth in which he was wrapped in a Torah scroll and hoisted atop a chair as he was declared a king.  In a letter to the Anti-Defamation League, Long said he never intended to offend anyone of the Jewish faith by taking part in the ceremony.  Bill Nigut with the ADL says he was "horrified" by the event, but that he accepted Long's apology as "heartfelt and humble."

At church services Sunday, Long reiterated that apology, adding, "I sincerely denounce those actions that depict me as king, although as in Scripture, all of us are kings and priests."

A video shows Rabbi Ralph Messer, a Messianic preacher, wrapping Long in a large scroll that is purported to be the Torah. Messianic Jews believe Jesus Christ is the Messiah, which is at odds with traditional Jewish theology.

A student researching a class project at Brown University in Rhode Island finds a 1961 recording of a speech Malcolm X made there in 1961.  The then-35-year-old uses blistering humor and reason as he tells the mostly white audience that black Americans cannot wait for racial integration and must forge their own identity and culture, and talks about the chilly reception blacks find in white society. 

The crowd of mostly students and some residents was 800 strong in a venue meant to hold 500.  Tickets sold for 50 cents each.  The legacy of slavery and racism, he told the crowd of 800, "has made the 20 million black people in this country a dead people.  Dead economically, dead mentally, dead spiritually.  Dead morally and otherwise.  Integration will not bring a man back from the grave."

At the time, he was a loyal member of the Nation of Islam.  Malcolm X, who became El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, would be assassinated four years later after leaving the group and crafting his own more global, spiritual ideology.

Georgia's top court has struck down a state law designed to discourage assisted suicides.  Today's decision comes after a legal battle brought by four members of a suicide group who said it also violated free speech rights.  The four were challenging the case brought against them after the 2008 suicide of a 58-year-old cancer patient.

A plan by Atlanta Public Schools to redraw district lines that will force many elementary age students to change schools was the focus of a protest march Sunday outside E. Rivers Elementary in Buckhead.  About 200 parents with balloons, ribbons and signs walked about a mile down Peachtree Road in opposition of a proposal which would take children out of E. Rivers and put them into a not-yet-built school.  No plans are final; a school board decision is expected in the spring.

The state Board of Regents may approve a slate of new engineering graduate degrees for University of Georgia this week.  In 2010, the board approved some UGA undergraduate engineering programs, over the objections of Georgia Tech.  Now, the first civil engineers will enroll at Georgia this fall; mechanical and electrical engineering majors will follow in 2013. 

Passengers on a third cruise ship get sick from a stomach virus.  Royal Caribbean's Voyager of the Sea left New Orleans a couple of hours late because of people coming down with norovirus.  Earlier in the weekend, a pair of Princess Cruise Line ships sailing from Fort Lauderdale reported outbreaks of the illness.

Newt Gingrich is wooing NASCAR voters. As he charts a possible course to the Republican nomination, aides say Gingrich will paint frontrunner Mitt Romney as the candidate of the PGA golf tour while the former House speaker pursues the blue collar mantle of Dale Earnhardt. It could pay dividends once the GOP race again swings South.

Wednesday's Powerball jackpot has grown to $250 million after Saturday's drawing came and went without a big winner.  Powerball tickets now cost $2.00, which was a change the lottery promised would lead to bigger jackpots.
