Surveillance video shows McDonald's drive-thru robbery, attack
A Houston area sheriff's office is asking for help identifying four suspects caught on surveillance video robbing a fast food store via its drive-thru window.
Investigators said at about 12:45 a.m. Wednesday, March 8, a subject in a gray, four-door sedan pulled up to the drive-thru window of a McDonald's.
When the employee opened the drive-thru window to accept payment for the driver's order, three other subjects concealing themselves outside the vehicle rushed the cashier, jumped through the window and forced their way into the restaurant.
Once inside, the suspects struck the employee with a handgun and forced him to give money from the cash registers.
The males then climbed back out the window and sped off in the sedan.
The subjects are described as males slim in build, varying in height from 5-foot-6 to roughly 6-foot.
Anyone with the information on the identity of these subjects is urged to call the Harris County Sheriff's Office Robbery Division at 713-274-9210.

Analysis of Simple Moving Average:
Chart patterns can be difficult to read given the volatility in price movements. Moving averages can help smooth out these erratic movements by removing day-to-day fluctuations and make trends easier to spot. Since they take the average of past price movements, moving averages are better for accurately reading past price movements rather than predicting future past movements.
The most common type of moving average is the simple moving average, which simply takes the sum of all of the past closing prices over a time period and divides the result by the total number of prices used in the calculation.
Moving averages are a powerful tool for traders analyzing securities. They provide a quick glimpse at the prevailing trend and trend strength, as well as specific trading signals for reversals or breakouts. The most common timeframes used when creating moving averages are the 200, 50 and 20-day moving averages. The 200-day moving average is a good measure for a year timeframe, while shorter moving averages are used for shorter timeframes. These moving averages help traders smooth out some of the noise found in day-to-day price movements and give them a clearer picture of the trend.
Vale S.A. (VALE) stock price performed at a change of -6.49% from 20 day SMA and stands at a distance of -7.79% away from 50 day SMA. At present time the stock is moving -11.50% away to its 200-day moving average.
Short Ratio of stock is 1.38. Vale S.A. is a part of Basic Materials sector and belongs to Industrial Metals & Minerals industry. Vale S.A. (VALE) finalized the Monday at price of $11.98 after traded 25256104 shares. The average volume was noted at 23177.1K shares while its relative volume was seen at 1.05. Volume is an important technical analysis tool to learn and understand how to apply to price movements. Volume increases every time a buyer and seller transact their stock or futures contract. If a buyer buys one share of stock from a seller, then that one share is added to the total volume of that particular stock. Volume has two major premises:
When prices rise or fall, an increase in volume acts as confirmation that the rise or fall in price is real and that the price movement had strength. When prices rise or fall and there is a decrease in volume, then this might be interpreted as being a weak price move, because the price move had very little strength and interest from traders.
Vale S.A. (VALE) reported down change of -3.93% in last trading session. It is a positive indicator for investor portfolio value — when the price of a stock Investor owns goes up in value. On the other side it is not a negative indicator for Investor portfolio value — when the price of a stock Investor owns moves down in value.
In the liquidity ratio analysis; current ratio was 1.2 while Total Debt/Equity ratio was 0.4. The return on assets ratio of the Company was 4.10% while its return on investment ratio was 19.20%. Price to sales ratio was 1.84 while Price to sales book ratio stands at 1.48. 19.80% shares of the company were owned by Institutional investors and Insider investors hold stake of 38.50%.
Keep Eyes On RSI Indicator:
The stock's RSI amounts to 35.76. Wilder believed that when prices rose very rapidly and therefore momentum was high enough, that the underlying financial instrument/commodity would have to eventually be considered overbought and a selling opportunity was possibly at hand. Likewise, when prices dropped rapidly and therefore momentum was low enough, the financial instrument would at some point be considered oversold presenting a possible buying opportunity.
There are set number ranges within RSI that Wilder consider useful and noteworthy in this regard. According to Wilder, any number above 70 should be considered overbought and any number below 30 should be considered oversold. An RSI between 30 and 70 was to be considered neutral and an RSI around 50 signified no trend. – Some traders believe that Wilder's overbought/oversold ranges are too wide and choose to alter those ranges. For example, someone might consider any number above 80 as overbought and anything below 20 as undersold. This is entirely at the trader's discretion.

MARIKANA, South Africa (Reuters) - South African mines producing half the world's platinum shut down on Thursday as the sector's main union began a strike for hefty wage hikes their employers say they cannot pay.
Members of the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) walked out at Anglo American Platinum (AMSJ.J), Impala Platinum (IMPJ.J) and Lonmin LMI.L, the top three producers of the metal used in catalytic converters in cars.
The chief executives of the three companies have said the wage demands are "unaffordable and unrealistic" and warned the industry could ill-afford further production and job losses.
The latest wave of labour unrest put the rand on the ropes, knocking it to a new-five year low of 10.9795 against the dollar as investors fretted about the impact of the strikes on an already fragile economy.
Amplats said the strike had affected mining at its Union, Rustenburg and Amandelbult sites, where low attendance was recorded. All processing operations were operating normally.
Implats closed its mines and processing units at Rustenburg, northwest of Johannesburg, before the strike began.
Implats expects to lose about 2,800 ounces of platinum daily while smaller rival Lonmin estimates losses at some 3,100 a day.
Lonmin mining and processing operations were suspended on Thursday and it said it would assess the situation daily.
"The strike action certainly wasn't a surprise to anyone though so they might have strategically stockpiled a bit of metal especially as the market expected prices to rally on the back of strike action," said Investec analyst Marc Elliott.
AMCU has as many as 100,000 members in the platinum belt, 120 km (70 miles) northwest of Johannesburg.
"This is a revolution of the economy of South Africa, to benefit all who live in it," AMCU president Joseph Mathunjwa told reporters after a mass rally at a football stadium marked by prayers, songs and dancing.
Basic wages for miners are about 5,000 rand ($460) a month and AMCU wants that hiked to 12,500 rand ($1,100).
Several AMCU activists called on President Jacob Zuma and the African National Congress (ANC) officials to "stop the foolishness".
"We are paid peanuts. And the cost of living is too high," said one striker at an Amplats mine who did not wish to be named. "If they don't meet our demands, we will keep striking."
The government has offered to mediate to end the dispute that threatens to squeeze an already struggling economy.
Besides economic damage, Zuma and the ANC want to end labour unrest before general elections due in about three months.
But the government has been unable to soothe tensions in the platinum belt, where miners are angry about their lack of economic progress two decades after the end of apartheid.
"There is no concrete government action to prevent the kind of rolling strikes that we are seeing now for eleven months of the year," labour economist Loane Sharp said. "The government has lost control of the labour movement in South Africa."
AMCU is seeking a more than doubling of the basic entry-level wage from the three producers. The companies are offering increases of 7.5-8.5 percent, well above the 5.4 percent inflation rate.
The companies were battered by wildcat strikes in 2012 rooted in a turf war between AMCU and the National Union of Mineworkers in which dozens of people were killed.
Mindful of the bloodshed and violence of the last two years, police deployed in force, especially near Lonmin's Marikana mine where 34 miners were shot dead by police 18 months ago.
It is hard to estimate the duration of the stoppage amid recent signs of divisions in AMCU's ranks.
Dissidents said this week they planned to form a rival union, accusing Mathunjwa of recklessly pursuing a damaging strike they say many miners do not want and cannot afford.
Mathunjwa dismissed reports of divisions in the ranks as attempts to "undermine AMCU".

I have enjoyed reading about everyone's Valentine weekend. It sounds as if many of you were spoiled by Cupid! The Beau and I started out the Valentine weekend by doing something very, very romantic ... I am not sure if it is even appropriate to share on the blog. However I don't like to hold much back so here goes. I had been out of town for an entire week so ..... we did ..... (keep in mind we only do this kind of thing once a year) .... our taxes. I know, right? You wish you were me.
After dinner we went to Cafe Intermezzo, which I highly recommend, for more dessert and coffee cocktails!
Sweet, simple Valentine's Day with my sweet husband and sweet friends!!! I wouldn't have had it any other way.

"When stuff is coming to an end, people freak out and they act crazy," says Liz Lemon.
Liz and all the characters of "30 Rock" are doing just that on the series finale, airing at 8 tonight on NBC, as they produce one last installment of their show-within-that-show, "TGS," while anticipating life apart from one another.
But Jeff Richmond wasn't freaking out, not even with the end (and a tight deadline) breathing down his neck: Just last Friday he was in a studio in midtown Manhattan, closeted with an eight-piece string ensemble, his baton raised, recording interludes of background music for that final episode.
After seven seasons (plus 14 Emmys, six Golden Globes and a Peabody Award), there are many reasons to remember "30 Rock" fondly:
The silky self-importance of soon-to-be-former Kabletown CEO Jack Donaghy (played by Alec Baldwin). The naked, comically off-kilter ambition of "TGS" star Jenna Moroney (played by Jane Krakowski). The manic abandon of her co-star, Tracy Jordan (played by Tracy Morgan).
There's Kenneth, the toothy true believer (played by Jack McBrayer), who last week was promoted from janitor to president of NBC.
And could any viewer ever forget the unexpected newlywed and mother of adopted twins played by "30 Rock" mastermind Tina Fey? As the frazzled, none-too-spunky producer of "TGS," Liz Lemon has been a new-millennium Mary Richards for whom "you're gonna make it after all" always seemed a long shot.
But Jeff Richmond — an unseen, unsung hero of "30 Rock" — has been essential, too, for his service as the composer and arranger of the show's distinctive score (in addition to his duties as executive producer and, by the way, being Fey's husband of 12 years).
At the show's inception, Richmond composed the "30 Rock" theme song, which, in its tight 17 seconds, teems with cultural references and preparation for the show it introduces.
"It's got a Gene Krupa drum thing and a baritone saxophone, like you'd hear in a burlesque show," he says, listing some of its influences, "and it's very New York — Cy Coleman, Frank Loesser. And the doo-wop singers make it feel a little retro."
For fans of "30 Rock," that theme by now seems second-nature.
But every week since the show debuted in fall 2006, Richmond has fashioned the background music that sonically frames the madcap action.
"The writers do such a great job creating these intricate stories," he said. "The music helps clue the audience in to the recurring patterns and themes."
Thus is the music Richmond conjures a guide and an organizing principle. It is treasure buried just beneath the surface of the viewer's consciousness, enhancing the personality of "30 Rock" — without the audience even needing to notice.
On Friday, Richmond was presiding at a major scoring session for the hourlong finale at John Kilgore Sound & Recording.
"I'm tired of writing goodbye music for all the characters," Richmond said with a laugh.
For instance: The show's "Liz" theme — a bouncy, familiar tune heard since the very first episode that was often arranged with a Scott Joplin lilt, but here was reimagined as lush and sentimental.
With Richmond busy in the studio, Kilgore was in the control room piloting software that resembled a souped-up version of GarageBand while "30 Rock" music producer Giancarlo Vulcano logged the progress on a laptop and old-fashioned sheet music.
Next to be recorded was a piece that sounded like a mash-up of Aaron Copland and Leonard Bernstein; "Hoedown" meets "On the Town."
"Jeff, I like that take," said Vulcano at one point. "But it should be, almost, ethereal, yeah?"
"This is Jack's big happy montage," agreed Richmond. "He's finally happy. He's finally killing it!" Richmond addressed his musicians: "You ever see that movie 'The Natural'? Like, when Robert Redford hits that ball up in the air?"
Everyone laughed.
A large recording session isn't the norm for "30 Rock." More often, Richmond layers the instruments one on another, with many of them played by him.
"It's not because I'm a great player, it's out of necessity: I work so late, I generally can't write charts for seven or eight pieces of music and bring players in," he explained. "I play the piano and saxophones and clarinets. Giancarlo is very gifted with the guitar, banjo and ukulele." Strings and percussion are usually synthesized, "but every triangle you hear is real."
Late in the process, Richmond and Vulcano could typically be found at Sync Sound, a Manhattan post-production house, where in a cozy room on a Tuesday afternoon a few weeks ago, they were laying in finished tracks of music while scenes from the episode unfolded on a monitor.
"As an executive producer, I'm around for the writing and the read-throughs, so I know where the scripts are heading," said Richmond, 52, who has curly, tousled hair, a beard and black-rim glasses, and speaks in eager bursts.
By a typical Monday, "I'll feel like we mostly have it, and we start laying it in. But then we may find we have some holes, or realize this piece of music isn't working, so let's take it out. I start digging around for something, maybe a clarinet part from another piece, and I throw it over a scene to see if it works."
If this all sounds a bit helter-skelter, the process is actually painstaking and exacting. A lot of "one more time" is heard.
It is only by Tuesday evening that the finished music joins the dialogue and sound effects, then merges with the finished video.
A little last-minute? "It happens quickly," Richmond acknowledged, "but that's just the way our schedule is, and it's been that way for a long time."
Now the end of "30 Rock" was approaching. What's next for him? Maybe a collaboration with Fey on a Broadway musical version of her 2004 film "Mean Girls," he said. Maybe scoring a movie. "I'm open for anything."
As the minutes ticked by last Friday afternoon, Richmond wasn't freaking out.
"It's all lining up nicely," he said, exuding confidence as he cued the strings for another take. "But I'm still not finished writing. I'm still figuring out the last piece of music you'll ever hear in the series. I'll record it over the weekend."

Critique: Exploring "Explore Evolution"
In 2007, a new "intelligent design" book entitled Explore Evolution ("EE") appeared on the market.
Explore Evolution is explicitly marketed to public school teachers. For example, at a 2008 Biola University symposium for science teachers a pitch was made for adopting Explore Evolution. The quote below comes from the symposium's website:
A US Supreme Court decision allows teachers to teach biology in a way that incorporates "a variety of scientific theories…with the clear secular intent of enhancing the effectiveness of science instruction." The new supplemental textbook Explore Evolution, when coordinated with other materials, empowers teachers and students to better fulfill these public educational goals.
Biola Science Teacher Symposium 2008 (accessed August 8, 2008.)
But students who read Explore Evolution will come away with a flat-out wrong understanding of evolution.
This book uses the creationist "evidence against evolution" and "teach the controversy" strategies to misrepresent scientific consensus and distort the conclusions of legitimate scientific research. Explore Evolution offers anonymous "critics" in place of substantive analysis.
Explore Evolution promotes "intelligent design" creationism. Four of the book's five co-authors are closely tied to the "intelligent design" creationism movement. Lead author Stephen C. Meyer is a Discovery Institute (DI) vice president and program director of the DI's Center for Science and Culture. Paul A. Nelson is a fellow of the DI. In 2005 in the Kitzmiller trial, Scott Minnich testified in favor of teaching "intelligent design" in public schools.
Beneath all its distortions, all its misrepresentations of modern evolutionary science, Explore Evolution uses familiar and long-refuted creationist anti-evolution arguments. Students who are required to read this book in a science classroom will be confused by its flagrant inaccuracies, and will be put at a disadvantage in standardized tests which require an understanding of modern biology.
NCSE and a team of consulting scientists have prepared this detailed chapter-by-chapter, page-by-page analysis of the book's errors, failings, and distortions.
Each link below corresponds to a chapter in Explore Evolution. Each chapter expands into a list of specific problems in Explore Evolution.

FLORENCE, S.C. (WPDE) - A viewer sent us a picture Wednesday morning of a fountain at Francis Marion University in Florence overflowing in soapsuds.
This is the third fountain in the past four days to be filled with soap, bubbles or dishwashing detergent, causing a sudsy mess.
The fountain near the "Welcome to Florence" sign across the street from Magnolia Mall on David McLeod Boulevard spilled over in apparent soapsuds last Saturday night.
Several viewers took pictures of it and told us soapsuds were all over the place.
A viewer also sent us a picture of the fountain bubbling up in downtown Florence on Evans Street in front of FMU's medical college.
We've contacted Florence police and FMU officials to learn if they're investigating the incidents as apparent pranks or something more serious. We'll let you know what we find out.

Where is Al Gore when we need him?
As good jobs continue to evaporate in Campbell County, the unemployment situation almost certainly will get worse before it gets better.
Campbell County needs new jobs, and county commissioners recognized that last week when they voted to move forward with finding a fulltime industrial recruiter to attract new industry.
Even with fuel prices at rock-bottom levels right now, consumers know cheap gas can't last, and they're clamoring for more-fuel-efficient small crossovers.

text: Networking Networking is a key skill in today's economy and in job search security. Through networking, you can generate offers of support, contacts and other resources; you don't have to conduct a job search alone! Since a significant number of position openings are never advertised (50-85%), the job changer or seeker needs to know how to tap into this hidden market. Networking can help you identify hidden opportunities. Conventional wisdom says, "It's all about who you know". But, the reality is that it's also about who you meet and the quality of relationships you develop with these people. The most successful networkers build relationships of mutual benefit. They tell who they are and what they are interested in and ask for information and advice. In turn, they acknowledge the experience and expertise of the networking contact and share their resources and offers of mutual assistance with the contact person. See also the following resources on networking from Regis Career Services: Networking Relationships: The Key to the Hidden Job Market Networking Guide Information Interviewing Guide E-Networking E-Networking is a process and resource that takes traditional networking techniques and launches them into cyberspace. It allows you to create a community of virtual contacts who can provide critical information on industry trends, possible job openings and contact names for your job search. Because the process is focused on building relationships, it needs to be tended to regularly and each email needs to be clearly thought through and grammatically correct. Abbreviations, acronyms and emoticons should be avoided. Your written communication skills make the first impression as you network with professional contacts. In addition to referrals from your own network, you can be active on some of the networking sites listed near the end of this document. Advantages of E-Networking Online interactions make it easier for the job seeker who is intimidated by calling strangers (even with a referral) or setting up personal meetings. Although successful networkers use a combination of traditional and e-networking, they can use cyberspace to jumpstart the complete networking process. E-Networking gets more immediate responses. People who are email fluent regularly check their mail and typically respond within 48 hours. Someone who is not interested simply won't respond. Everyone on the Internet is accessible to you. You can initiate contact and develop a relationship with anyone who has publicized their email address. You also can use lists that are internal to many sites. These might include sites for professional associations, business directories and trade journals, chambers of commerce, and resources like Hoovers Online Directory of Companies. Some sites sponsor in-person networking events which then allow you the opportunity to enhance the relationships you've developed online. Successful E-Networking Tips Make initial contacts broad but continue selectively. Focus on those that meet your needs. Use "business casual" language so you can strike a tone somewhere between a formal business letter and a casual note to a friend. Identify yourself and your intent to improve your job search methods in such a transparent way that someone would feel comfortable networking with you. Remember: a contact's reputation is at stake when he/she makes a referral (as is yours). You need to make a solid connection with each contact. Let you contact know how you found their name and contact information. Identify common interests and be prepared to ask relevant questions. Be visible with thoughtful contact when you email. An example is the creation of a monthly online newsletter about your progress, which you would send to your solid contacts. Thank each contact for their help, advice, information and referrals. Invite them to call you when there are ways you can reciprocate. Be a source! If you learn something of interest to a contact, call or email the contact to share this. Keep relevant networking contacts current! Online Safety Tips While e-networking is a fast and efficient means of communicating with professional contacts, you want to be certain of the terms, conditions and risks of using online networking sites. Make sure you are fully aware of all charges for any site you use. Stick with sites that are free of charge when possible and be aware of costs you may face following an introductory period. Be aware of the security provisions on the site, including encryption on any site where you enter your credit or debit card number. Remember that any information you post on a website can be read by persons to whom you did not intend to grant access. Hackers look online for personal information to steal; never enter your Social Security Number, date of birth, mother's maiden name or other personal identifiers online.

Italy and Croatia ends in stalemate
Italy 1 Croatia 1:Mario Mandzukic scored his third goal in two Euro 2012 games to leave Croatia and Italy's quarter-final hopes in the balance, a picture that will be a little clear after the Republic of Ireland's game against Spain.
Italy deservedly led at the half-time interval courtesy of Andrea Pirlo's stunning free-kick, but were never the same attacking force in the second period, allowing Mandzukic to equalise in the 72nd minute.
With four points from two matches, Croatia now face a challenging final clash with reigning world and European champions Spain. As for Italy, who have now drawn both of their matches, they know they will have to beat the Republic of Ireland on Monday to be in with a chance of a quarter-final spot.
Although Italy coach Cesare Prandelli remains unbeaten in competitive internationals with eight wins and four draws, he will likely feel this was a game that should have been won in the first half. Italy signalled their intent inside three minutes, via Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli in particular.
Receiving Emanuele Giaccherini's left-wing ball inside the area and with his back to goal, Balotelli made one touch and a sharp turn before firing a 12-yard left-foot shot narrowly wide.
It was the start of a predominantly one-sided half, with Claudio Marchisio shaving the crossbar with a rasping 20-yard drive just eight minutes later. A further opportunity for Balotelli, with a snap shot straight at goalkeeper Stipe Pletikosa, and an Antonio Cassano flick through the six-yard box sandwiched Croatia's one significant chance.
That came in the 20th minute when Darijo Srna played a piercing low ball from the right into the near post. All that was required was the merest of touches from Nikica Jelavic that would potentially have been enough to beat Gianluigi Buffon, but instead the veteran was allowed to collect.
Italy, though, retained their stranglehold on the game and should have taken the lead eight minutes from the break, only for Marchisio to twice be denied by Pletikosa.
After a delightful touch to leave Srna for dead inside the area following a through ball from Cassano, Marchisio's initial left-foot shot was superbly saved by Pletikosa, who then blocked the follow-up at point-blank range.
But with the danger still present, Ivan Ratikic fouled Balotelli on the edge of the area, allowing Pirlo to whip a 21-yard right-foot free-kick over the wall and inside Pletikosa's right-hand post.
It left Slaven Bilic's side going into the break knowing they had to up the tempo and chase the game in the second half, which they at least started with greater urgency.
But after Luka Modric first fired a 20-yard shot a yard over the bar the encounter turned scrappy, dominated by niggly fouls and challenges until Balotelli came within inches with a fierce drive on the hour.
Then finally, in the 72nd minute, Croatia made their presence felt in the right way as their two-goal hero from the 3-1 win over the Republic of Ireland struck again. Ivan Strinic's ball from deep on the left wing was missed by Giorgio Chiellini, allowing Mandzukic to control and beat the advancing Buffon in off the right-hand post from six yards.
Croatia finished the game the stronger as they went in search of the winner that would have sealed their last-eight place, but it was not to be, leaving both sides facing a dramatic final group game.

Hi guys
I've had a good look at this forum and it has lots of info, but I'm wondering if anyone can help me? I've got 5 weeks holiday, all of Feb til 8th March 2013. I've seen the post about the best places to go in Feb but I'm a beginner, at body dragging stage at the moment, so I think my list of requirements are a little bit different from all you experienced guys! I have all my own kit, a 6m and 9m kite and I'm looking for somewhere kind of warmish with flatish water and cheapish (ie not an all inclusive spa hotel in the Caribbean!) I will need to take a few lessons from a school to progress onto the board. A fellow kitesurfer went to Mui Ne and said there were too many fishing nets tripping kitesurfers up and it was pretty choppy for a beginner. I don't think the wind is strong enough in Feb in Naqb (it didn't make the Feb list!), maybe someone can prove me wrong? How about Cancun/Cozumel/Tullum, Hua Hin, Florida? Someones post said there wasn't any flat water in La Ventana and it rained in Borocay in Feb!!!
I realise that no place is perfect and you can't guarantee the wind but I really want to crack it and practice as much as I can.
I'd appreciate any information you can give me as the more I read the more confused I get!! Many thanks. By the way I'm on the South Coast of England which is amazing but way too cold in the Winter and I love travelling!!

Obama honors WWII, 9/11 generations at Normandy
COLLEVILLE-SUR-MER, France — Seventy years after Allied troops stormed the beaches at Normandy, President Barack Obama returned Friday to this hallowed battleground in what he called a ''powerful manifestation of America's commitment to human freedom'' that lives on in a new generation.
''Our commitment to liberty, our claim to equality, our claim to freedom and to the inherent dignity of every human being — that claim is written in the blood on these beaches, and it will endure for eternity,'' Obama said on a morning that dawned glorious and bright over the sacred site he called ''democracy's beachhead.''
Obama spoke from the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, where nearly 10,000 white marble tombstones sit on a bluff overlooking the site of the June 6, 1944, battle's most violent fighting at Omaha Beach. He described D-Day's violent scene in vivid terms, recalling that ''by daybreak, blood soaked the water'' and ''thousands of rounds bit into flesh and sand.''
Veterans of that fierce battle traveled long distances to the remote historic site and removed their hats as the audience delivered a long standing ovation when Obama recognized them.
''These men waged war so that we might know peace,'' Obama said. ''They sacrificed so that we might be free. They fought in hopes of a day when we'd no longer need to fight. We are grateful to them.''
The anniversary commemoration is putting fractures in the World War II alliance on display, with Russian President Vladimir Putin attending events along with leaders who are standing against his aggressive moves into Ukraine. Putin posed with the leaders for a photo outside a lunch at the Chateau de Benouville, then filed inside directly in front of Obama. He and Putin appeared to be deliberately trying to avoid each other. Obama chatted with Queen Elizabeth II and did not acknowledge Putin in front of the assembled media before the group went inside for the private meal.
Obama's speech at the morning ceremony came after he met privately with seven of the dwindling number of surviving troops who fought Adolf Hitler's Third Reich, along with seven members of the military who have served since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Among them was Sgt. 1st Class Cory Remsburg, an Army Ranger who served 10 deployments and was severely wounded by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan. Obama recognized Remsburg at the emotional high-point of his State of the Union address earlier this year, after first meeting him five years ago at the Normandy commemoration.
Obama held Remsberg up Friday as an example of the sacrifice of his generation, telling the D-Day veterans, ''Your legacy is in good hands.''
''For in a time when it has never been more tempting to pursue narrow self-interest, to slough off common endeavor, this generation of Americans, a new generation, our men and women of war, have chosen to do their part as well,'' Obama said. He recognized the commitment that women and immigrants are making in today's more diverse U.S. military.
The president mentioned that his grandfather served in Patton's Army and his grandmother was among the many women who went to work supporting the war effort back home, in her case on a B-29 bomber assembly line. Obama's grandparents helped raise him, and he broke from his prepared text to observe wistfully that there was never a time he missed his grandfather more or would have loved to be with him.
''Someday, future generations, whether seventy or seven hundred years hence, will gather at places like this to honor them,'' Obama said. ''And to say that these were generations of men and women who proved once again that the United States of America is and will remain the greatest force for freedom the world has ever known.''

On this day — the Senate refuses to go along with the House/Gov. Perry on TWIA reform; another red meat issue for Tea Party activists is added to the special session call; more reaction and reviews of Gov. Rick Perry's speech in New Orleans; the Governor's office makes another run at sealing travel records that newspapers have sued for; and in 'The Clips,' Amazon takes another run at Texas' sales tax.

***Simpson's Bill Gets Another Chance
Houston Chronicle/San Antonio Express-News Austin Bureau Chief Peggy Fikac reports that Rep. David Simpson's anti-TSA/anti-groping bill has been given new life by Gov. Rick Perry, who put it on the to-do list for the special session.
Gov. Rick Perry, under pressure from tea party activists, on Monday added to lawmakers' to-do list a ban on airport security searches.
The measure died in the regular legislative session in the wake of warnings from federal officials that it would conflict with federal law and could force flight cancellations if the safety of passengers and crew couldn't be assured.
"We can't let threats from the federal government stop the Legislature from passing legislation that we believe is wanted by our citizens. I do not believe they will shut down our airports," said Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston. Patrick is pushing the bill with Rep. David Simpson, R-Longview.
The legislation would provide that federal employees, if they perform a search that involves touching a person's private parts without probable cause, commit the offense of official oppression.
***Senate Rebels On TWIA
The Texas Tribune's Brandi Grissom reports that Sen. John Carona's committee was in full blown rebellion against a TWIA overhaul bill that would dramatically restrict the rights of home owners to sue the much maligned insurer.
State Sen. John Carona, R-Dallas, didn't get enough support in the Senate Business and Commerce Committee this morning to pass out the TWIA bill. In fact, it appeared he was the only one supporting the measure, and he did so only because his name was on it. With fewer than 10 days remaining in the special session, Carona said he hoped that lawmakers could find a compromise that would eliminate the need for a second 30-day special session this summer.
"We've had too many cooks in the kitchen," Carona said.
The measure is meant to overhaul the claims process for homeowners along the coast whose properties are damaged by hurricanes and to ensure that TWIA, the state's insurer of last resort, remains solvent. But lawmakers are unable to agree on how much to limit homeowners' ability to sue TWIA and to recover damages when the agency fails to honor its policies. The House wants a very strict bill; the Senate's isn't as stringent.
***Gov's Office Makes Another Attempt to Seal Travel Vouchers
The Houston Chronicle's Patti Hart reports that the Governor's office is making another bid at making travel reimbursement vouchers filed by his DPS security detail permanently confidential.
Gov. Rick Perry's office has asked lawmakers hammering out details of a school finance bill to include an unrelated provision that would keep secret the expenses of the Department of Public Safety team that provides security when he and his wife, Anita, travel.
The issue is pending before the Texas Supreme Court, which is considering an appeal of two lower court decisions favoring the public's right to review the travel records under the Texas Public Information Act.
The Houston Chronicle, the San Antonio Express-News and the Austin American-Statesman filed suit in 2007 to obtain records after the DPS withheld them, claiming security concerns.
Lawmakers during the regular session failed to pass two proposals to keep the travel expenses private, but Perry's office last week resurrected the issue by asking lawmakers to add it to the school finance bill, according to members of the conference committee.
Below the fold — more on Gov. Rick Perry's speech in New Orleans and the political world's reaction to him; plus Amazon says: exempt us from the sales tax and we'll bring those jobs right back.
***Perry Makes South Carolina Plans
– The Dallas Morning News' Wayne Slater reported via Twitter that Gov. Rick Perry has made plans to attend a gathering of conservatives in South Carolina instead of a key Iowa straw poll.
– The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that Perry's advisers have taken planning for a potential campaign to a new level of intensity.
Mr. Perry's team is now preparing a list of the hurdles the governor faces, including criteria for coming debates and filing deadlines for Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina and other early contests. Aides say they have made inquiries in Iowa to assess the logistics of competing in a closely watched straw poll there in August.
If it drew money and media attention, a Perry bid would make the odds all the longer for lesser-known candidates, such as former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, who is expected to enter the race Tuesday. Those candidates are hoping to position themselves as the top alternative to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who has assumed front-runner status in recent national polls.
"Perry probably swallows up the rest of the air in the race," said John Ryder, a member of the Republican National Committee from Tennessee. "He would give Romney a run for it."
Mr. Perry will sift the pros and cons of a presidential run at the end of Texas's special legislative session later this month, aides say, with the aim of making a decision in July.
– The Atlantic Wire reads between the lines of the aforementioned WSJ story.
– The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza breaks down the will he or won't he run math for a Perry candidacy.
– And Politico offers up what may be the most poorly written story about Perry's possible 2012 presidential bid so far.
The crusted-over rumors were in the ether among some attendees at a dinner hosted last week by the Manhattan County GOP, where Perry gave the keynote speech.
But Team Perry, asked about how it's prepared to handle them when they emerge if he runs, said it remains "false and misleading."
***More from Gov. Rick Perry's New Orleans Speech
Reaction to Governor Rick Perry's speech to the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans continues to pour in from the Internet. The conservative Washington Times wrote:
Mr. Perry, in his third term and enjoying the distinction of being the longest serving governor in Texas history, uncharacteristically read from a script spread on the podium before him when giving his address on Saturday.
Missing was his usual striding back and forth across the stage, gesticulating and using eye contact with the audience to create a connection that draws listeners into his world – and onto his side.
"Rick thought he needed to be scripted rather than just speak from the heart as he always has in the past," said Texas Republican National Committee member Bill Crocker, acknowledging what others, who saw Mr. Perry excite audiences at the Conservative Political Action Conference and the Council for National Policy earlier this year, said was a stiffness to the address.
The Texas governor didn't even mention the tea party movement, an omission not made by the other declared and possible candidates.
Veteran GOP strategists and operatives generally agreed that Mr. Perry, though "over-scripted" by his aides this time, performed well enough to keep him in the top tier of announced and possible 2012 candidates.
– MSNBC's Morning Joe offers his thoughts on a Perry candidacy and no one on the show gives Perry high marks for his New Orleans performance. Joe Scarborough is a former Florida congressman, who was lobbied by John Cornyn to run for the Florida Senate seat in 2010.

***The Clips
– The Austin American-Statesman reports that giant online retailer Amazon.com has come to the state of Texas and said "let's make a deal" on sales tax.
Amazon.com is negotiating a deal with Texas officials that would see the online retail giant promise to create more than 5,000 jobs and invest $300 million in the state over the next three years.
In exchange, lawmakers would have to grant Amazon a 4½-year exemption from collecting tax on online sales in Texas, according to documents obtained by the American-Statesman.
The proposal would be attached to Senate Bill 1, the fiscal matters bill being debated in the Legislature's special session. SB 1 is a must-pass measure essential to balancing the state's 2012-13 budget.
The American-Statesman obtained a draft copy of the conference committee report that would add the language to SB 1, in an action that critics called a Hail Mary pass for Amazon in its dispute with Texas over whether it should have to collect sales taxes on Texas transactions.
– Chronicle/Express-News Bureau Chief Peggy Fikac reports that Sen. Jeff Wentworth and eight other Republicans took out an ad in the Express-News, accusing Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, of race-bating.
Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, head of the Senate Democratic Caucus, cited legislation to ban so-called sanctuary cities that she said "will bring shame to this state" and a congressional redistricting plan that she said "diminishes the voting strength of the growing Hispanic electorate."
Saying that no major Texas city claims to be a sanctuary for those in the country illegally, she wrote in an opinion piece published June 11 in the San Antonio Express-News, "This is just another cover for the anti-Hispanic agenda being advanced by the governor and his Republican cohorts in Austin."
Sunday's ad was purchased with campaign funds by GOP Sen. Jeff Wentworth, who, like Van de Putte, is from San Antonio. Wentworth said he bought space because he didn't want the text to be edited or cut.
"Van de Putte is attempting, for partisan political advantage for the Democratic Party, to ascribe to Republicans and anti-Hispanic agenda … Not true," said the ad, which Wentworth said cost about $8,900.
The ad called the charge "baseless" and "race-baiting, pure and simple." Its headline said Van de Putte was being " 'called out' for repeated pattern of race-baiting."

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Yale University has announced that construction of Phase II of the Reese Stadium Project will commence on Nov. 9. Phase II, which is projected to be completed in 10 months, will consist of a new stadium structure which will include four team rooms, expanded bleachers, a press box, VIP seating areas and an entryway plaza. It will also feature the names of all former soccer and lacrosse players on the archways leading into the stadium.
This news is the culmination of the extraordinary recent efforts of the Yale Soccer and Lacrosse Associations' "Winning Goal Campaign," and their work in conjunction with the staff of both the Athletic and Development offices. In addition, leadership donors Jon Reese '90 and Jason Reese '87, the Kempner family, and an anonymous soccer match gift were an integral part of this project's success.
"This new facility is a reflection of what can be accomplished with amazing team work. The partnership between our Associations and the leadership of the University to make this vision a reality is incredible. I believe Reese Stadium is a tremendous indicator of the great future in store for Yale Athletics and the commitment we make to providing a world-class experience for our student-athletes," Director of Athletics Tom Beckett said.
In addition, all of the head coaches associated with the facility agreed that the upgrade would be a boon for recruiting the next generation of Ivy Champions to New Haven and a venue that all former players would take great pride in visiting.
Head Men's Soccer Coach Brian Tompkins commented, "The newly renovated Reese Stadium will bring our recruiting to the next level. I am so grateful to the Soccer and Lacrosse Associations, and the University, for their tremendous support of this project and help in making our new home a reality."
Further, Anne Phillips, the Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Women's Lacrosse, said, "I am thrilled that Reese Stadium is the new home of Yale Women's Lacrosse. The support of the Lacrosse and Soccer Associations has validated our move and has created a strong foundation for our success moving forward."
Phase I of the project included a new field-turf surface and lighting and was completed in 2005. For more information on the project and additional naming opportunities, please contact Assistant Athletic Director Alison Cole at 203-432-3344.

Pursuant to Department of Labor regulation 20 CFR 655.734, Ericsson Inc. is providing notice to potentially affected workers that H-1B workers are beeing sought at the worksites listed below. All labor condition applications are avaliable for public inspection at our administrative headquarters for immigration matters located at:
6300 Legacy Drive
Plano, Texas 75024
Complaints alleging misrepresentation of material facts in the labor condition application and/or failure to comply with the terms of the labor condition application may be filed with any office of the Wage and Hour Division of the United Stated Department of Labor.
Important notice: fraudulent job offers
It has come to our attention that emails and job adverts have been created and circulated by unknown individuals for the purpose of attempting to defraud candidates.
Potential candidates should be wary of approaches that appear to be offering a job for which they have not applied, especially if personal details or money must be sent in order to proceed with the recruitment. Neither Ericsson nor any commissioned third parties recruit in this manner. Such approaches are almost certainly fraudulent attempts to gain details of identity for illegal use.
Ericsson is taking all necessary steps to investigate this matter further.

Rapper Wiz Khalifa has his model wife Amber Rose to thank for paving the way for his collaboration with Adele after she bonded with the singer over motherhood at the 2013 Grammy Awards.
Model Rose was heavily pregnant with the couple's first child as they walked the red carpet on music's biggest night in February, and new mom Adele was among the guests who ran up to Rose to chat about her pregnancy.
Khalifa tells Rap-Up.com, "She was like, 'Amber! Amber!' and told her how beautiful she looked."
The British singer eventually turned to Khalifa and the brief red carpet meeting prompted Adele's representatives to reach out to the rapper and propose plans to work together in the studio.
He adds, "Her people contacted some of my people when they found out we were working on the album and sent some ideas through, so we were able to knock some things out."
The track is due to appear on Khalifa's forthcoming album, "Blacc Hollywood," which will also feature a duet with Miley Cyrus.
Rose gave birth to son Sebastian just three weeks after the Grammy Awards.

Nation & World
Egypt's military blames Mohammed Morsi's supporters for violence
In a battle over the narrative of what's happened here during the past eight dramatic days, the new Egyptian government accused former President Mohammed Morsi on Thursday of being obstinate in his final days, claimed that his supporters in the Muslim Brotherhood had killed some of their own to frame the military and asserted that its decision to oust Morsi may have saved the nation from "possible civil war."
In a rare briefing with foreign reporters three days after a shootout with Morsi supporters that claimed 55 lives, military and government spokesmen used unusually provocative language to describe the Muslim Brotherhood, the secretive organization through which Morsi ascended to the presidency and that was, until a few days ago, the country's dominant political power.
The military defended its decision to remove Morsi on July 3 and name a new president, and it accused the Muslim Brotherhood of conducting a "propaganda war," though it was clear the spokesmen were waging a counteroffensive, all but calling the Brotherhood an enemy of the state, even as they pleaded with it to join the new government.
The war of words pits the country's best-organized political movement against its most revered national institution, and there seemed little reason to expect anything approaching reconciliation.
The news conference began with a broadside from the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that offered no quarter.
"What we have witnessed over the past year is some kind of exclusion. That is not going to happen again," Badr Abdelatty said in his opening comments, referring to the allegation that the Muslim Brotherhood had maneuvered to make certain it held all the reins of power. Minutes later, he said that in the days leading up to Monday's shooting, the Brotherhood engaged in an "incitement campaign."
"We have a just cause because the people went to the streets, and nobody can move against the will of the people," Abdelatty said.
Military spokesman Col. Ahmed Mohammed Ali and Mohammed Badr Eldin Zayed, the chairman of the State Information Service, joined in the assault. The officials said Morsi was being "held for his safety." He hasn't been charged "yet," Ali said.
Ali said the Muslim Brotherhood had used increasingly vitriolic language against the military in the days that led up to Monday's violent confrontation with Morsi supporters near the Republican Guard headquarters, where many Morsi partisans think the deposed president is being held.
Ali said the military had worked hard to avoid bloodshed. It passed water to the crowds and tried to calm tensions with talk. But around dawn Monday, the Brotherhood tried to storm the Republican Guard headquarters, Ali said. The military used tear gas, rubber bullets and blank rounds before firing live ammunition. He said the troops had aimed at non-vital parts of the body, an assertion contradicted by several doctors, who told McClatchy of victims who'd been shot in the head, neck and chest.
Ali also accused Brotherhood sympathizers of killing some of their own number to make the army look bad.
"I doubt we have killed the number they are announcing," he said.
"We are witnessing a sustained campaign of incitement for the use of violence," Abdelatty added.
Such assertions offered little hope that a government investigation, called by transitional President Adly Mansour, will reveal what happened. The military said it had no recording that showed how the incident had started.
And on Thursday, officials charged that the Muslim Brotherhood and "terrorists" in restive Sinai are still attacking them.
The officials were dismissive of other reports of violence, as well. Asked about sexual abuse and harassment in Tahrir Square, Ali said there'd been "not one act of violence" on June 30, when millions called for Morsi to step down. Zayed called the reports of scores of sexual assaults there "a side issue."
The news conference set the stage for a Muslim Brotherhood protest set for Friday. The Brotherhood has called its planned protest the Million Man March, and it will be a metric of the group's continued support if that number turns out.
Ali estimated that somewhere between 23 million and 30 million had protested June 30 in a nation of 90 million, nearly double the military's estimates of 14 million a week ago.

She broke it in the trials when she ran 8.03 seconds, then broke it once more when she finished first in 7.97 seconds. She finished one-tenth of a second off the provisional qualifying mark for the NCAA Division III Championships.

"We moved some people around in some events, and we rested some people, we used this meet to get ready for conference next week," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Steve Gardiner. "We've had a really good January and start of February, and we're looking forward to the conference meet next week at Southern Maine."
The Corsairs will return to action at the Little East Conference and New England Alliance Championships at Southern Maine next Saturday.
