In this undated photo provided by the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in New York, the 36-foot tall church stands near the base of the World Trade Center towers.  It took a decade, but a deal has finally been struck to rebuild a New York City church destroyed on 9/11. The new St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church will be about 3½ times as large as the old one. It's just a short walk down Liberty Street from the ruined chapel it had occupied for 85 years. The resolution of the dispute was announced Friday, Oct. 14, 2011 by the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The church will rebuild on Port Authority land.

In this Oct. 12, 2011, photo, Republican presidential candidate Texas Gov. Rick Perry speaks at GOP forum in Indianapolis. Republicans aren’t sold on Mitt Romney and they’ve been looking for other presidential candidates.

At least eight other Republicans, including Perry, have seen their standings soar in GOP primary surveys since the year began.  (AP Photo/Michael Conroy)AP - Gov. Rick Perry is calling the controversy over rival Mitt Romney's religious faith a campaign distraction, saying out of work Americans aren't interested in "side issues and sideshows." Appearing on morning television, Perry again defended himself against criticism in the wake of statements by a supportive minister from Dallas who asserted that Romney is not a Christian, and that Mormonism is a cult.
