From the CNN Center in Atlanta, I am Naamua Delaney. Thanks for checking in with us this St. Patrick's Day. Here is a look at what's happening NOW IN THE NEWS.


 In Albany New York, David Paterson has been sworn in as the new governor of New York. Paterson replaces Eliot Spitzer, who announced his resignation last week shortly after reports of his connection to a high-priced call girl ring became public.


 Today Democrats 1 in Florida could put an end to the idea of a mail-in presidential primary. The state was stripped of delegates to the party's nominating convention because it held its regional primary too early. The Orlando Sentinel reports that Florida State Democratic chairwoman will decide by today whether to call for a re-vote by mail. That idea doesn't have the support of Florida's Democratic Representatives in Congress.


 Police say a female suicide bomber 2 is responsible for a deadly attack on a mosque 3 in Karbala, Iraq. At least 33 people have been confirmed dead. Iraqi officials say dozens more were injured. The blast happened a half mile from the Imam Husayn shrine 4, one of the holiest sites for Shiite Muslims.


 Vice President Dick Cheney says the past five years in Iraq have been difficult and challenging, but successful. He made an unannounced visit to Baghdad today and met with Iraq's Prime Minister. It's been five years since the US led the invasion of Iraq. Cheney says there has been significant progress since he visited the country 10 months ago, and he believes the next US president should keep US troops in Iraq.


 New York police report search crews have recovered another body from the rubble 5 of a construction crane collapse 6 in New York. That brings the death toll 7 from the weekend incident to six. Four construction workers died when the 19-story crane fell in a Manhattan neighborhood Saturday. The accident injured dozens of others and damaged six buildings. City officials say the crane passed a safety inspection 8 Friday and a new section was being added when it fell.


 Crews in downtown Atlanta are cleaning up after a tornado 9 tore through the city Friday night. The twister damaged skyscrapers 10 as well as landmarks 11 like the CNN Center. Broken glass, bricks and other debris 12 still litter the ground. Some commuters have been finding it hard getting into the area. Dozens of traffic lights are still out and many streets remain closed. At least 27 people were hurt in the storm, but no deaths were reported in the city. Two people were killed elsewhere in the state.


 Well, be sure to stay with CNN.com 24/7 for news from around the world, and of course, we'll have updates right here throughout the day.
