Security Council opens talks on Syria draft amid veto concerns
The United Nations Security Council began closed talks Friday on a new Arab European draft resolution to end the Syria crisis but Russia rejected the current wording citing red lines including an arms embargo. Britain urged unity backing the Arab League effort while France and Germany urged a clear stand. Russia and China previously vetoed a similar measure.

Economy shows healing but not yet healthy growth
The 4th quarter growth at 2.8 percent marked the fastest pace since spring 2010 and a third straight gain, yet economists warn the momentum may fade. Unemployment sits at 8.5 percent after a six month rise in hiring, with 2012 outlook modest. Inventory buildup drove much of late 2011 gains, with forecasts for slower growth in early 2012. The Dow fell as markets absorbed the data.
