Your daily look at late-breaking news, upcoming events and the stories that will be talked about Friday, March 8 (times EST):
1. WHO WILL ATTEND CHAVEZ’S FUNERAL
At 10:30 a.m., world leaders and celebrities will join Venezuelans to honor and mourn the late socialist leader in a funeral shrouded in astonishing secrecy.
2. WHAT EXPERTS ARE SAYING ABOUT NORTH KOREA THREATS
They say Pyongyang lacks the technology for a nuclear strike on the U.S. and analysts say the rhetoric has the added effect of reaching North Korea’s own people.
3. WHO IS OPPOSED TO TSA ACTION
Flight attendants, pilots, federal air marshals and even insurance companies are part of a growing backlash to a new policy allowing passengers to carry small knives and sports equipment onto planes.
4. HOW THE BUDGET BATTLE MAY AFFECT WORKERS
Federal workers at HUD, Homeland Security and the EPA face the possibility of furloughs — of varying lengths.

7. CALLING IT A POLITICAL CAREER
Democrat Carl Levin, a six-term senator, will not seek re-election in 2014, calling his decision “extremely difficult because I love representing the people of Michigan.”
8. RACISTS NEED NOT APPLY
A police chief hired to rebuild a tiny Tennessee department dismantled by scandal is using a lie-detector test in a bid to keep bigots off his force.
9. WHAT YOUR FACEBOOK NEWS FEED WILL LOOK LIKE
