In this Jan. 28, 2009 photo, new Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed, second from left, is welcomed by Representative Bubose Prorter, D-Dublin, left, and other House members as he enters the chamber of the capital in Atlanta. 2010 brings Reed to the Capitol not as a member of the General Assembly, but as the city's 59th mayor.

And he's taking similar steps to build goodwill in Washington.

Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness leaves a meeting during a break with senior party colleagues in Dublin, Ireland, Saturday, Jan. 23, 2010 as the party met to discuss progress on devolution of policing and justice powers to the Northern Ireland Assembly. Three years ago Sinn Fein backed the new policing arrangements in Northern Ireland on condition the Assembly eventually took over political responsibility for law and order from Westminster. But with unionists insisting that the conditions must be right before completing the transfer of the powers, and with Sinn Fein demanding they close a deal, the long-running dispute has now reached crisis point.
