JERUSALEM (AP) — An Israeli court on Wednesday found former Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman innocent of all charges in a graft trial, clearing the way for one of Israel's most powerful and polarizing figures to return to his post as the nation's top diplomat and raising his clout in a bitterly divided government.

The decision handed the 55-year-old Lieberman a resounding victory in a case that had threatened to derail his political career and reshape the makeup of the coalition government. Instead, he could return to the political arena stronger than ever.

"This chapter is behind me. And I am focusing on the challenges ahead, and there are plenty of challenges," the triumphant Lieberman said outside the courtroom after the verdict.

After leaving the court, the fiercely secular Lieberman donned a prayer shawl and skullcap and worshipped at the Western Wall, Judaism's holiest prayer site. "It's a very good day," he told The Associated Press as he left the site.

Lieberman, an ally and sometime rival of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was forced to step down as foreign minister early this year to face the charges. Lieberman would not say whether he intends on returning to the job, but it appears to be only a matter of time.

Since a parliamentary election in January, Netanyahu has left the post vacant for Lieberman while awaiting a verdict. In the meantime, Lieberman was permitted to keep his seat in parliament.

Following the ruling, Netanyahu called Lieberman to congratulate him and said he was looking forward to Lieberman's "return to the government," according to a statement from the premier's office.

Lieberman, an immigrant from the former Soviet republic of Moldova, has long been dogged by allegations of corruption. This case was the first time he had been accused of criminal behavior.

He was charged with fraud and breach of trust for allegedly trying to advance the career of a former diplomat who relayed information to him about a separate criminal investigation into Lieberman's business dealings.

The court verdict said "the defendant acted improperly," but was not guilty of criminal activity. Prosecutor Michal Sibel-Darel said her office respected the decision and would study it before deciding whether to appeal.

Following the verdict, opposition leader Shelly Yachimovich said the Israeli public "is left with a corrupt man in a key senior position." She called on the attorney general to appeal and urged Netanyahu not to re-appoint Lieberman.

"It is impossible to shake the feeling that Lieberman succeeded in fooling the justice system in Israel and manipulating it," she said.

Lieberman gained political popularity through a hard-line stance that has appealed to nationalistic Israelis.

With a tough-talking message that has questioned the loyalty of Israel's Arab minority, criticized the Palestinians and confronted Israel's foreign critics, he has at times alienated Israel's allies while becoming an influential voice at home.

During his stint as foreign minister, he pushed a series of legislative proposals that critics said were discriminatory against Israel's Arab minority, including a failed attempt to require Israelis to sign a loyalty oath or have their citizenship revoked.

He also embarrassed Netanyahu by expressing contrary views to the government, including skepticism over the odds of reaching peace with the Palestinians.

Wednesday's decision coincided with a visit by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who is in the region trying to promote faltering Israeli- Palestinian peace talks.

A longtime skeptic of the peace process, Lieberman is likely to become more outspoken in his criticism of the Palestinians following his acquittal.

Before the January election, Lieberman led his nationalist Yisrael Beitenu into a merger with Netanyahu's Likud Party. But the alliance, meant to solidify a victory by Israel's hardline bloc, backfired and the combined list fared poorly.

Lieberman is now considering whether to break up the merger. Israeli media said Yisrael Beitenu would likely hold a vote on the matter on Nov. 24.

Such a move could increase his influence since he could potentially rob Netanyahu of his parliamentary majority.

He might also pressure Netanyahu to shuffle the coalition to bring in hardline religious parties and get rid of the more moderate factions in the government — which would mean trouble for peace efforts.

"I am happy that Lieberman will return to the Foreign Ministry so we can cooperate," said Cabinet Minister Naftali Bennett, leader of the religious nationalist party Jewish Home.

Lieberman rose to prominence as the engineer of Netanyahu's successful run for prime minister in 1996, and he later became Netanyahu's chief of staff. He is a powerful behind-the-scenes mover who lives in a West Bank settlement.

He created the Yisrael Beiteinu party in 1999 to represent the more than 1 million immigrants from the former Soviet Union.

But his standing has suffered, in part because much of his power base integrated so well into mainstream Israeli society over the years. He also was embarrassed last month when a close ally lost the mayoral race in Jerusalem. Lieberman had invested considerable time and effort promoting his candidate.

Why KitKat can't help older Android hardware

Android 2.3 Gingerbread has become Google's Windows XP: the very popular but outdated OS version that just won't go away. Lots of older smartphones run Gingerbread, which debuted in December 2010, but unlike many older PCs that can be upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7, most Gingerbread-era smartphones can't run either of the Android 4 versions (Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean). Their hardware isn't capable enough. By contrast, Apple's iPhone 4 and iPad 2 from the same era can run today's iOS 7, though a bit slowly and with some capabilities removed, such as Siri support and home-screen background effects.

Android 4.4 KitKat, unveiled last Thursday, is supposed to bring these older phones into the modern Android world. Google said that goal was the big rationale for KitKat, in fact. After all, Gingerbread can't run many newer Android apps -- including, not so coincidentally, Google's own data-mining apps like Google Now on which its business is based.

The problem is that KitKat won't in practice bring most older Android smartphones into the modern Android world, partly for reasons outside Google's control.

The big change in KitKat to allow it to run on Android smartphones stuck with Gingerbread is that its memory footprint and application set have been shrunk and restructured so that KitKat can run in devices that have as little as 512MB of RAM. Furthermore, Google took many core components of Android and now delivers them as separately upgradable components in KitKat. That way, future OS upgrades will be less cumbersome for carriers to deliver to end-users.

In the Android world, Google has no ability to make OS updates available to users -- that's up to each carrier, which have a poor track record of updating users' devices. One reason is economics: In the United States, carriers like to keep their customers locked into service contracts, so they tend to dangle new smartphones toward that goal. Providing timely upgrades would lessen customers' incentives, while testing and distributing those upgrades on the wide range of older Android models would cost those carriers money. Outside the United States, where phones are rarely subsidized, the economics favor keeping operational costs low, which again leads to avoiding the cost of handling OS update testing and distribution for old devices. The bottom line: There's little incentive for carriers to deploy KitKat to those Gingerbread smartphones. Likewise, there's no incentive for Android device makers to test KitKat on those old devices, much less update their proprietary OS extensions to be compatible with it.

Some users might install the new KitKat anyhow using a third-party service like CyanogenMod (technically a hack that kills your warranty, but these phones are typically out of warranty anyhow). But these users may find they didn't get much for their troubles. As Cyanogen itself has pointed out, "[KitKat] does not mean a sudden resurrection of older hardware, [since] there are dependencies beyond the RAM." In other words, Google's slimdown approach doesn't address all the hardware issues that keep some smartphones stuck on Gingerbread.

Over time, those Gingerbread smartphones will get retired as they fail or as customers feel left too far behind, forcing them to get new devices. But right now, it's a bad idea to look at KitKat as a silver bullet to make these old smartphones do what new ones can.

Detroit voters elect Duggan mayor of broke city

DETROIT (AP) — A former medical center chief defeated a county sheriff to become the next mayor of financially troubled Detroit, though the job holds little power while the city is being run by a state-appointed emergency manager.

Unofficial returns showed Mike Duggan defeating Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon 55 percent to 45 percent. Napoleon conceded defeat late Tuesday in a race where he was outspent by Duggan by about 3-to-1 heading into Tuesday's election.

Both candidates had said during the campaign that the state-appointed emergency manager should leave the city and allow the new mayor to fix Detroit's finances when he takes office in January.

"I'm going to try to shorten Kevyn Orr's stay," Duggan told The Associated Press heading into the election.

But the reality is that Duggan will have little power under emergency manager Kevyn Orr, who in July filed to take Detroit into bankruptcy.

Duggan, an ex-county prosecutor and former chief of the Detroit Medical Center, said he wants to convince Orr's boss, Gov. Rick Snyder, to allow him to develop a team and a plan to resuscitate the city's fiscal condition if elected mayor.

Both Duggan and Napoleon campaigned on fixing Detroit's deteriorating neighborhoods and reducing the high crime rate in a city that struggles to respond to 911 calls on time. Detroit has more than 30,000 vacant houses and buildings. Bing's administration has demolished about 10,000 empty and dangerous houses during his four-year term.

But anything the new mayor wants done that requires money must first get Orr's approval.

Snyder did not endorse a candidate, but after testimony last week in bankruptcy court, he held firm in his decision to appoint Orr and keep him in place until Detroit emerges from bankruptcy and its finances are fixed.

"Detroit's fiscal crisis was six decades in the making," Snyder said in a statement. "My job is to make the tough decisions to resolve the problems we face today, not ignore them."

Detroit's mayor cannot remove Orr. Under state law, that only can be done by the governor or an act of the state legislature. However, once Orr's 18-month contract ends a supermajority vote by the city council and mayor can choose not to renew it.

Current Mayor Dave Bing did not seek re-election. He has always been opposed to Detroit having an emergency manager and has been frustrated by the relationship he has with Orr, saying that Orr hasn't communicated well with the mayor's office.

Duggan becomes Detroit's first white mayor since the early 1970s. The city is more than 80 percent black.

Voters across the country faced ballot measures Tuesday ranging from whether to approve seven casinos in New York to the fate of Houston's iconic Astrodome. Here's a look at some of the questions.

___

MARIJUANA AND ALCOHOL

COLORADO: Voters approved a 25 percent tax on newly legal recreational marijuana to fund school construction. Opponents argued the tax rate would benefit black market sales.

MAINE: Voters in Portland, Maine's largest city, declared victory on a measure to legalize possession of recreational amounts of marijuana.

MICHIGAN: Voters in Ferndale, Jackson and Lansing approved proposals offering some legal protection to users of small amounts of marijuana.

UTAH: Residents in the small town of Hyde Park are voting on whether to allow beer sales in a proposal that has divided the conservative, mostly Mormon city. Hyde Park is among a handful of dry cities left in the state, and the ordinance would only allow the sale of beer with the alcohol content of 3.2 percent.

___

SECESSION

COLORADO: Eleven rural Colorado counties delivered a divided vote on an effort to form a 51st state called North Colorado. Six counties voted against the idea — including Weld County, whose commissioners spearheaded the effort, citing frustration with the Democrat-led state government that they claim neglects rural interests. Five counties voted for it.

___

GAMBLING

NEW YORK: New York voters bet big on casino gambling as an economic energy shot, agreeing to let seven Las Vegas-style gaming palaces be built around the state, including eventually in New York City.

MASSACHUSETTS: Voters in Palmer rejected Mohegan Sun's plan for a $1 billion resort casino and entertainment complex. And Suffolk Downs says it will reassess plans to build a resort casino at the 78-year-old thoroughbred race track after voters in a Boston neighborhood rejected its proposal and residents of a neighboring community approved it.

___

ASTRODOME'S FUTURE

TEXAS: Voters rejected a plan to authorize bonds to turn the Houston Astrodome, the world's first multipurpose domed stadium, into a giant convention and event center and exhibition space. The outcome means the stadium is likely to be torn down.

___

MINIMUM WAGE

WASHINGTON STATE: Early returns showed voters in the small Seattle suburb of SeaTac were passing a measure that would raise the minimum wage for workers at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and nearby large hotels to $15 an hour. Washington state already has the highest minimum wage at $9.19.

NEW JERSEY: Voters approved a constitutional amendment raising the state's minimum wage by $1, to $8.25 an hour, and to provide for automatic cost-of-living increases, as 10 other states already do.

___

HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT

MAINE: Residents of South Portland rejected a proposal aimed at blocking the flow of tar sands oil from western Canada to the city. Environmentalists say the thick, gooey oil is more difficult to clean up than conventional crude oil, contains harmful chemicals and releases more greenhouse gases. Supporters of a pipeline say a ban would hamper the growth of existing petroleum-based businesses.

WASHINGTON STATE: A measure that would require mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods was failing with more than 980,000 ballots counted in unofficial returns. Washington would be the first state to put such requirements in place, and the campaign has shaped up to be one of the costliest in state history.

___

GAY RIGHTS

MICHIGAN: Residents of the Detroit suburb of Royal Oak approved an ordinance making it illegal to discriminate based on sexual orientation and a number of other factors.

___

SCHOOL FUNDING

COLORADO: A kindergarten-through-12th-grade school-finance overhaul was rejected; it would have increased income taxes about $1 billion a year and revived a progressive income tax structure abandoned in the 1980s.

ASBURY PARK, N.J. (AP) — The 2016 overtones were clear in this year's two most high-profile elections.

Republican Gov. Chris Christie's resounding re-election victory in Democratic-leaning New Jersey sets the opening argument for a possible White House run while Terry McAuliffe's gubernatorial victory gives fellow Democrats — if not his confidante Hillary Rodham Clinton, herself — a road map for success in the pivotal presidential swing-voting state.

Christie became the first Republican to earn more than 50 percent of the New Jersey vote in a quarter-century. McAuliffe is the first member of the party occupying the White House to become Virginia governor since 1977.

Among a slate of off-year balloting from coast to coast, New York City voters also elected Bill De Blasio, making him the first Democrat to lead the nation's largest city since 1989. Colorado agreed to tax marijuana at 25 percent, and Houston rejected turning the Astrodome into a convention hall, likely dooming it to demolition. Alabama Republicans chose the establishment-backed Bradley Byrne over a tea party-supported rival in a special congressional runoff election in the conservative state.

Turnout was relatively light — even in the most hard-fought races. Without presidential or congressional elections on the books, voters were primarily hard-core partisans. But to win, both gubernatorial victors sounded a tone of pragmatic bipartisanship — at a time of dysfunctional divided government in Washington — and, because of that pitch, they managed to cobble together a diverse cross-section of voters from across the political spectrum.

In Virginia, McAuliffe eked out a smaller-than-expected victory over conservative Republican Ken Cuccinelli. Exit polls found Cuccinelli fared well among core right-flank constituents — tea partyers, gun owners and rural voters. But the victor, McAuliffe, held advantages among unmarried women, voters who called abortion a top issue and the vote-rich Washington suburbs.

"Over the next four years most Democrats and Republicans want to make Virginia a model of pragmatic leadership," said McAuliffe, a Democrat taking the helm in a state where Republicans control the Legislature. "This is only possible if Virginia is the model for bipartisan cooperation."

Democrats won the top two offices in Virginia, while the attorney general's race was too close to call. Democrats, who already control both Senate seats, hoped this election would give them control of all major statewide offices for the first time since 1970, a rejection of the conservatism that has dominated for the past four years.

"Virginia's on its way becoming reliably blue," Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said.

In New Jersey, Christie coasted to a second term, defeating little-known Democratic state Sen. Barbara Buono.

He assembled a winning coalition with broad support among constituencies that don't reliably vote Republican. Exit polls show that Christie carried a majority of women and split Hispanics with Buono. He improved on his share of the vote among blacks in 2009 by more than 10 percentage points.

Christie's advisers saw his ability to draw support from Democrats, independents and minorities as a winning argument ahead of 2016, pitching him as the most electable candidate in what could be a crowded presidential primary field.

"As your governor, it has never mattered where someone is from, whether they voted for me or not, what the color of their skin was, or their political party. For me, being governor has always about getting the job done, first," Christie told supporters inside a rowdy convention hall in Asbury Park, N.J., just steps away from the same Jersey Shore that was devastated by Superstorm Sandy a year ago.

Taken together, the results in individual states and cities yielded no broad judgments on how the American public feels about today's two biggest national political debates — government spending and health care — which are more likely to shape next fall's midterm elections.

Even so, Tuesday's voting had local impact.

Other races of note:

—In Alabama, the GOP's internal squabbles played out in the special congressional runoff primary election. Bradley Byrne, a veteran politician and the choice of the GOP establishment, won against tea party favorite Dean Young. The race was the first test of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's promise to try to influence primaries. The group had pumped at least $200,000 into supporting Byrne.

—Big city mayors: In New York, de Blasio cruised to victory over Republican Joe Lhota after Michael Bloomberg's 12-year tenure. Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, Minneapolis, Seattle and other cities also chose mayors.

—Colorado: Voters agreed to tax marijuana at 25 percent and apply the proceeds to regulating the newly legalized drug and building schools. And 10 rural counties refused to approve secession from the state. One county narrowly voted to secede, but it was a symbolic gesture.
