U.N. secretary-general? Women's advocate? U.S. president? Grandmother? Ed Rendell, David Brooks, Dee Dee Myers, and more offer ideas for Clinton after she steps down as secretary of state. The Daily Beast's Michelle Cottle reports.

AWKWARD

What is said on the campaign trail stays on the campaign trail? Let's hope that's so for President Obama and Mitt Romney, who will meet for lunch at the White House on Thursday, Obama Press Secretary Jay Carney said on Wednesday. In Obama's victory speech, he invited Romney "to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward." Thursday's visit will be Romney's first to the White House since the election. Try not to get those tears on the furniture, Mitt.

Feeling Lucky?

Tonight's Powerball jackpot hit a record $550 million. With hours to go before the drawing, past winners tell The Daily Beast's Caitlin Dickson how their windfalls did—and didn't—change their lives.

DEADLY

At least 34 people were killed and 83 people were injured early Wednesday morning in a series of bomb blasts in Damascus, with Syrian state television blaming the attack on "terrorists." "When people gathered to try to rescue those injured in the first explosion, another explosion took place," said Al Jazeera's Rula Amin, reporting from Damascus. Syrian state television said that most of the victims were killed after a "suicide attacker" blew up his car. The blasts occurred in a Damascus neighborhood that is mainly Druze and Christian—two groups who have not predominately joined the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad yet, although the rebels indicated the government may have orchestrated the attack to turn the minorities against each other. Meanwhile, government fighter jets reportedly bombarded rebel-held portions of the Damascus suburb of Daraya.

HORROR

New York City's alleged "killer nanny" pleaded not guilty on Wednesday, when she faced a judge at the hospital where she is being treated for self-inflicted stab wounds. Yoselyn Ortega has been accused of stabbing Lucia Krim, 6, and Leo Krim, 2, to death in the family's apartment, and then turning the knife on herself when the children's mother returned home with her 3-year-old daughter. Ortega allegedly had been having family and financial troubles, and she reportedly told police she resented the family for giving her an extra five hours of work a week.
