Surprising win brings hope to some California Republicans

A conservative activist believes California can once again be Republican if the GOP is careful to send the right message.

With a Republican's recent win in a Democrat and Hispanic county, Republicans in the Golden State feel a new hope that the party can once again secure California. Democrat runner Leticia Perez lost the Senate seat to Republican farmer Andy Vidak, who courted and won much of the Hispanic vote in California's central valley. Democrats have secured both houses of the state Legislature, but Republicans say the party's new lows are allowing the GOP to come back stronger than ever. Martha Flores-Gibson is a candidate for the Long Beach City Council.

"I believe the GOP is on its rise up,? Flores-Gibson says. ?With the GOP, the only way it can go is up ??it can't go down because they have continually gotten hit on various issues."

She asserts that Republicans must re-coin the term "democracy" if they want to win the Hispanic vote.

"When you look at the Hispanic population ??let's look at the Hispanics in California ??they're very conservative in every area; however, they are really confused about democracy ? so the term is very confusing,? she explains. ?However, when you have them one small group at a time, or even one person at a time, you get their vote because they believe that if they work hard, they are going to get ahead."

The state's newly elected GOP Chairman Jim Brulte said it is possible for California to become Republican again. Republicans are depending on Brulte's experience to help them win seats and rebuild the party.

Stocks open higher; S&P 500 cracks 1700-point barrier

stocks

JeeYeon Park CNBC

3 hours ago

Stocks soared to fresh closing highs on Thursday, one day before the government releases critical jobs figures that could help determine whether the economy is healthy enough for the Federal Reserve to begin to slow down its stimulus package.

The rally, in which the S&P 500 went through the 1,700-point level for the first time, was sparked by a plethora of upbeat economic data ahead of the widely-watched jobs report set for Friday morning.

Analysts polled by Reuters expect to see a gain of 184,000 jobs in July, after a 195,000 uptick in the previous month.?

(Read more:?July jobs report key to Fed action)

"The jobs numbers have been decent as of late, but the problem is the quality of employment," said Lance Roberts, chief economist at StreetTalk Advisors. "There's also clearly a divergence between the stock market and real economy and that's because of the artificial stimulus from the Fed.

"The problem is that they're not seeing that stimulus being translated into the economy so the worry we should have is that we're inflating valuations and the issue of potentially blowing an asset bubble is very real."

On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve?declined to signal when it would start tapering its bond-buying program, which has buoyed the markets. However, it did raise concerns about rising mortgage rates and flagged the risks of inflation falling too far below its target. In addition, the central bank slightly downgraded its outlook for economic growth.

But several reports on Thursday boosted the views of many analysts that the economy is getting healthier. Weekly jobless claims?dropped to a 5-1/2 year low, according to the Labor Department. And the number of planned layoffs at U.S. firms?declined modestly in July, with employers announcing 37,701 cuts last month, down 4.2 percent from June, according to the report from consultants Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

In another positive sign, the pace of growth in the U.S. manufacturing sector accelerated in July to the?highest level since June 2011 as new orders surged, according to the Institute for Supply Management.?

The positive economic data have stimulated the stock markets recently. Major stock averages closed out their?best July since 2010 on Wednesday and so far this year, the Dow and S&P 500 have spiked more than 19 percent, while the Nasdaq has surged an impressive 21 percent.

On Thursday, the?Dow Jones Industrial Average spiked to close 128 points higher and set a fresh all-time high of 15,650.69, lifted by Bank of America and P&G. ExxonMobil was among the few Dow components in the red.

The?S&P 500 and the?Nasdaq both put on 1 percent, with the S&P 500 piercing the 1700 barrier to close at 1706.87. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, slid below 13.

All key S&P sectors closed in positive territory, led by financials and industrials.

"The rising asset prices will help instill confidence and that will breed more confidence," said Matthew Kaufler, portfolio manager of the Clover Value Fund at Federated.?

"However, we've had a great run in the market and at some point there will be a correction in the near point?still, my sense would be that there's enough momentum that we'll end the year up a few percentage points higher than where we currently are."

(Read more:Short the S&P atall-time highs? Absolutely!)

Asian stocks rallied after China's official PMI (purchasing manager's index) data showed the country's manufacturing sector continued to expand in July, defying forecasts of a contraction. But the picture was mixed, with a private gauge of factory activity by HSBC showing an 11-month low of 47.7 in July. Japan's Nikkei rallied to a one-month peak on the news, the Shanghai Composite hit a one-week high and South Korea's Kospi touched a seven-week high.

"Official PMI is more skewed to larger companies, and the HSBC figure reflects the smaller companies and that is where you get this divergence," said Frederic Neumann, co-head of Asian economics research at HSBC.

(Read more: Will China PMI mark the end of negative data surprises?)

In Europe, the European Central Bank kept its main interest rate unchanged at a record low of 0.5 percent, and reiterated that rates would remain at present or lower levels for an extended period of time.

"Labor market conditions remain weak. Looking ahead to the remainder of the year and 2014, euro area growth should benefit from a gradual recovery in global demand," said ECB president Mario Draghi in a press conference following the announcement. "Our monetary policy stance remains accommodative for as long as necessary. We have unanimously confirmed the forward guidance we gave last time."

Euro zone manufacturing activity grew for the first time in two years in July, with the purchasing manager's index (PMI) climbing to 50.3 in July. A reading above 50 indicates an expansion.

And the Bank of England left its interest rates unchanged at 0.5 percent, as expected, under its new governor, Mark Carney.

Man Repays $500,000 in Insurance Money With 4 Tons of Quarters

When Roger Herrin learned that a court had ordered him to repay $500,000 he had received in insurance payments for the death of his son, he decided to protest the order in an unusual way: he paid approximately a third of the money back in quarters, which, altogether, weighed nearly four tons.

Herrin's 15-year-old son, Michael, was killed in a car accident in 2001. Because Michael was the only one of the four passengers in the car who died, Herrin received the bulk of the $800,000 settlement from the car's insurance. Herrin also received $1.65 million in other insurance payments as a result of his son's death.

The other crash victims and their families contested the ruling, and a legal battle continued between the families until an appellate court ordered Herrin to refund his share to increase the other families' take

"They can have all the money in the world, and I'd take my son back,? Herrin told WSIL. ?To support, my deceased son and ex-wife, I have to fight it to the very end, and this is the final end.?

The 7,500 pounds of quarters were packed in 50 pound, transparent bags, and transported from the Federal Reserve in St. Louis to the law offices of the attorneys representing the other families on a flatbed truck and in an armored truck. Naturally, the attorneys receiving the quarters weren't pleased.

"We've been on pins and needles because we had a lot of cash suddenly laying around [and] it was publicized," Mark Prince, an attorney for the car's driver and her son, said. "We don't have safes or vaults, and we lock our front door. Advance notice would have been nice, because we could have made arrangements to have it delivered to the bank."

Not that Herrin regrets the inconvenience he caused. "I really wanted to do it in pennies,? he told NBC News.

'Fosters' to air TV's first post-DOMA wedding

TV

Maria Elena Fernandez NBC News

8 hours ago

Adam Taylor / ABC FAMILY

Stef (Teri Polo) and Lena (Sherri Saum) walk down the aisle on "The Fosters" in TV's first gay wedding since DOMA was struck down.

On the historic day this summer that Paul Katami and Jeff Zarrillo were married in Los Angeles and Kristin Perry and Sandy Stier exchanged vows in San Francisco, a similar wedding took place in the backyard of a house in Long Beach, Calif.

The third nuptials belonged to fictional characters Stef Foster and Lena Adams of ?The Fosters??TV?s first gay characters to say ?I do? since the Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act. The ABC Family drama?s creators, Bradley Bredeweg and Peter Paige, credit ?universal synergy? with the impeccable timing of the filming of the garden ceremony on June 28, the same day two of the couples challenging Prop 8 in California (which bans gay marriage) became legally wed.

The wedding is part of the show?s first season finale, which airs on Aug. 5.

?I will never forget that day when Peter and I were sitting behind the monitors in our directors? chairs, just looking at the wedding on screen and looking at each other realizing what happened here on this day,? Bredeweg said. ?There were tears, there were hands being held. It was just quite a celebration of the show, of what was happening historically for gay and lesbian couples. It was beautiful.?

Stef and Lena's is certainly not the first same-sex marriage on television. Although NBC's "Friends" received a lot of kudos for its lesbian wedding in 1996, two other sitcoms had already broken that ground. The first show to feature a gay wedding was Fox's "Roc" which showed a ceremony between two men; "Roseanne" followed suit in 1995.

In anticipation of the Supreme Court ruling in June, the script for "The Fosters" finale called for a wedding ? no matter what the higher court decided, said Paige, who is best known for his role on Showtime's ?Queer as Folk," which also featured two gay weddings. But it was ?an incredible moment,? Paige said, to shoot Stef?s (Teri Polo) and Lena?s (Sherri Saum) wedding within the context of real marriages taking place in the state for the first time in five years.

?From our earliest conversations, we were going to have a wedding,? Paige said. ?We thought if Prop 8 goes the way of the Fosters, it would be fantastic to be the first legal wedding in California on television after the decision. If it doesn't go our way, then it?s an opportunity to make a statement that no matter what anybody says we won?t be bowed.?

But that?s not the only statement ?The Fosters? is making. The family drama also stands out in the TV landscape as the first show to depict foster care from the point of view of the parents, the children already living in the house and the new ones joining the family. Stef and Lena are raising Stef?s biological son from a previous marriage, two Latino children they fostered and later adopted; and two new siblings they have taken into their home.

With other shows, like "Modern Family" and "The New Normal," paving the way in terms of portraying gay parenting, Bredeweg and Paige decided their non-traditional family would be headed by a lesbian couple instead of two gay men. They chose to set it in the world of foster care after Paige participated in federally funded study about LGBT youth in foster care.

?It?s sort of amazing to me that it hasn?t been done,? Paige said, who sits on the board of the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center. ?Being a kid is so difficult but being a kid who is completely unmoored, I don?t know how you survive. Certainly, it?s been done before as far as having foster kids as characters, but it?s always backstory. I don?t think we?ve ever truly explored in the moment what it?s like to be a foster child. Usually, the foster kid in Hollywood is the bad seed. We?ve just been so moved and impassioned by what we?ve heard from these foster kids, that it has to be told.?

Executive producer Joanna Johnson, a white lesbian mother with a Latino wife and two adopted biracial children, runs the show and mines her life for story ideas. It seems to be working. With 2.5 million total viewers, ?The Fosters? is summer?s top cable series among 12-to-34-year-olds. (The network's core demographic is 14-34). It?s also shaping up as the network?s fourth highest-rated series of all time. The show will return in January with new episodes, ABC Family announced on Tuesday.

?When we go online and we read the tweets and we listen to the way kids are responding to the show and their parents are responding to the show, they?ve just embraced the family more than we ever expected,? Bredeweg said. ?Yes, we have two women standing at the front of our household, but we?re dealing with the exact same issues like any other family in America or most of the world. People are accessing our family just as their family. For us, it?s such a joy to see that happening.?

That sense of satisfaction will increase exponentially when the wedding episode airs, said the show?s creators who are both gay. ?When I was 15, the age of what probably makes up the bulk of our viewing audience, I didn?t believe there was any possibility ? it didn?t even enter my frame of reference ? that one day I would be able to get married,? Paige said. ?For me, it was a profound healing moment.?

Bredeweg got married in Los Angeles before Prop 8 passed five years ago.

?I had a backyard wedding much like Lena and Stef amongst friends and family, and it was one of the most important days so far in my life,? he said. ?To sit there with Peter next to me and watch this happen and to know we can all do this again, it was such a real thing. It was hard to wrap our head around at first. But then it just became a celebration because, to me, it was a day that we never thought would come so quickly and now that it?s here, it was overwhelming.?

Veterans of WWII raid holding 70th reunion in Ohio

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) ? Veterans of a daring and costly World War II low-flying raid on Axis oil fields are gathering in Ohio this week for a 70th anniversary reunion.

Those participating in the Ploesti Raid reunion at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force near Dayton will arrive Tuesday, gathering for dinner followed by private events Wednesday. On the raid anniversary Thursday, there will be a public memorial service at the museum and a chance to meet veterans.

One of the reunion coordinators is Air Force history buff Mark Copeland of Lakeville, Minn. He says organizers expect nearly a dozen raid veterans to take part. He says organizers are pleased with the response, given the men's ages and travel challenges.

Among others expected is a sister of Maj. John Jerstad, a pilot who was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously. With his plane heavily damaged and still taking fire from anti-aircraft guns, Jerstad's plane released its bombs before crashing into the target area. His was among five Medals of Honor awarded for the raid.

Dubbed "Operation Tidal Wave," the Aug. 1, 1943, raid targeted heavily defended oil fields in occupied Romania. The B-24 bombers that flew from bases in North Africa attacked in daylight, some flying only yards above ground while in fierce air-ground fighting with German forces.

Nearly a third of the 177 planes were shot down, and about a third of 1,758 participants were killed, captured or missing in action. The 44th Bomb Group received the Distinguished Unit Citation.

Copeland said the last reunion was in Salt Lake City 10 years ago and drew 85 veterans. He says fewer than 70 are alive today, so it's likely this will be the last reunion of what's known as the most highly decorated U.S. military mission.

"We're just very passionate about honoring this raid," said Copeland about the reunion event organizers.

He said participants are expected from as far away as California.

Among private events for the participants will be a museum tour and special viewing of a fully restored B-24.

Texas A&M said Tuesday that redshirt freshman Polo Manukainiu and a teenager joining the Utah football team this fall were among three people killed in a single-car rollover crash in the high desert of northern New Mexico, just days before fall practices begin.

Manukainiu, a defensive lineman for the Aggies, and Gaius "Keio" Vaenuku were among three teens killed in the wreck, officials from both schools said. One of the survivors, Salesi Uhatafe, is an incoming freshman football player for Utah.

The wreck happened Monday evening on U.S. 550 near Cuba, about 85 miles north of Albuquerque. State police said Manukainiu, 19, and Vaenuku, 18, were passengers in a southbound 2002 Toyota Sequoia, according to the school's statement.

The vehicle drifted off of the road, the driver overcorrected, and the vehicle rolled several times.

Manukainiu and another passenger, Andrew Uhatafe, were ejected and died at the scene, the statement said. It was not immediately known if he was related to Salesi Uhatafe.

Vaenuku was transported from the scene but was pronounced dead in an ambulance. The driver and another passenger were transported to a hospital with minor injuries. Officials said alcohol wasn't involved and it appeared the driver was the only one wearing a seatbelt.

Manukainiu played football at Trinity High School in Euless, Texas, west of Dallas, and was part of the Aggies' 2012 signing class. He was a recreation, parks and tourism science major, the school said, and is survived by his mother, Lima Uhatafe of Euless.

"We lost a terrific young man," Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin said. "Polo was loved by his teammates and coaches. Anyone who came in contact with him was struck by his sense of humor and smile. My heart aches for his mom and family members."

Texas A&M finished last season ranked No. 5 after an 11-2 season, their first in the Southeastern Conference. They were led by quarterback Johnny Manziel, who became the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy, and are expected to be highly ranked again this year.

It is the second such tragedy for Texas A&M in less than two years: Senior offensive lineman Joseph Villavisencio, 22, was killed in a December 2011 car accident after veering head-on into the path of an 18-wheeler 40 miles from College Station. He had spent part of that day delivering gifts to families at a local shelter. Manziel mentioned Villavisencio during his Heisman acceptance speech last year.

Vaenuku was a defensive tackle who had planned to play one year at Utah before going on a two-year Mormon mission, the Deseret News of Salt Lake City reported in January when he committed.

"Everyone who knew Gaius is heartbroken today," Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said. "He was the kind of young man who lit up a room and his future in football and life had no boundaries. Words cannot express our devastation over the loss of Gaius."

Vaenuku was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and considered playing at church-owned Brigham Young but he said he felt more at home in Salt Lake City playing for the Utes. His bio on the Utah website says Vaenuku he had three brothers and three sisters and enjoyed acting and singing.

The news stunned Trinity High School in Euless, where Manukainiu, Vaenuku and Uhatafe all played football.

Principal Mike Harris said the deaths have affected a majority of the Euless community, where there is a tight-knit Polynesian community.

"They were students with bright smiles that everybody knew and everybody loved," the principal said.

Texas A&M associate athletic director Alan Cannon said Manukainiu was known for his sense of humor and "will be sorely missed as a person you enjoyed being around." He said the football staff was working Tuesday to notify teammates of his death. Players are scheduled to report to campus Sunday to begin practicing for the upcoming season.

Cannon said Manukainiu was to wear jersey No. 90 and that it was too early to determine if players will affix the number to their uniforms as a tribute. The NCAA must approve any such recognition, Cannon said.

Killer Bees Kill Horses: 30,000 Bees Overwhelm 2 Horses in Texas, Owner Stung 200 Times in Horror Attack (VIDEO)

July 28, 2013|9:26 pm

(Photo: Reuters/Kham)

Bees are seen in this file photo.

According to reports, the two horses were "so covered in bees they shimmered" before being completely overcome and succumbing to the mass of bees stings they were forced to endure.

The two horses were called Chip and Trump, and belonged to owner, Kristen Beauregard, 44. She herself was stung a horrifying 200 times trying to protect her horses in the attack, which is believed to have included more than 30,000 bees.

Beauregard's boyfriend was also injured in the bee swarm attack, and he was stung about 50 times.

Beauregard has said, "They were chasing us down, they were following us. We swept up piles and piles of them? it was like a bad movie."

The attack took place as the North Texas woman was exercising Chip in the local area. However, the mass swarm of killer bees then moved in and attacked them, covering the horse, repeatedly stinging it.

The owner even described thow she and her boyfriend attempted to jump into a pool to try and get the bees away, but they were undeterred and continued their fierce attack.

Beauregard said, "It got all dark, like it was nighttime there were so many bees? We were trying stand up in the water but every time we stuck our heads out for air, they would cover us and start stinging us. We were trying to breathe and they were stinging us in the face and in the nose."

Equine veterinarian Patricia Tersteeg attempted to save the horse, but was unable to help Chip recover from the severe injuries. She said, "He was so overwhelmed by bites that his body could not handle it? That's way too much for any 250-pound mammal to survive."

The other horse, Trump, managed to survive the initial attack, but died the following night.

As well as the two horses, and the two adults who were attacked, it has been reported that five hens were also killed by the killer bees.

The killer bees are currently being tested to determine if they are "Africanized" strains.

New knowledge about permafrost improving climate models

[unable to retrieve full-text content]New research findings document that permafrost during thawing may result in a substantial release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and that the future water content in the soil is crucial to predict the effect of permafrost thawing. The findings may lead to more accurate climate models in the future.

Sony's flagship Honami smartphone sneaks into FCC's database

In the past, Sony hasn't been too strict about issuing confidentiality requests when slipping its Xperia smartphones into the FCC's database. The Honami, however, is no typical Xperia. For those unaware, manufacturers generally submit equipment to the FCC for testing shortly before the product is ready to launch on US shores -- once its radios are cleared for use on the airwaves that the FCC controls, precious little stands between said product and your hands.

We've seen a stream of Honami leaks over the past few weeks, but none have indicated quite so clearly that it's nearly ready for a formal debut. The filing masks all internal and external photos, but a software version entitled "s_atp_honami_1_25_1" (seen after the break) makes obvious what device we're looking at. This, Motorola's X, and an impending iPhone refresh? Looks like we're in for a star-studded autumn in the handset universe.

A mixed batch of earnings results gave investors little direction on Friday as traders began looking ahead to a packed schedule next week.

The?stock?market slumped in early trading, climbed steadily the rest of the day, then ended little changed.

Volume was thin as traders prepared for a deluge of potentially market-moving events next week: a Federal Reserve meeting, the government's monthly employment report and much more.

"Traders seem to be erring on the side of caution today," said Jeffrey Kleintop, the chief market strategist for LPL Financial.

Expedia plunged 27 percent, the worst fall in the Standard & Poor's 500 index. The online travel agency reported earnings late Thursday that badly missed analysts' expectations. Higher costs were the main culprit. Expedia lost $17.80 to $47.20.

The Standard & Poor's 500 index inched up 1.40 points, or 0.08 percent, to 1,691.65. The index ended the week with a tiny loss, the first this month.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 3.22 points, less than 0.1 percent, to 15,558.83. The Nasdaq composite index edged up 7.98 points, or 0.2 percent, to 3,613.16.

It's halftime in the second-quarter earnings season, and corporate profits are shaping up better than some had feared.

Analysts forecast that earnings for companies in the S&P 500 increased 4.5 percent over the same period in 2012, according to S&P Capital IQ. At the start of July, they predicted earnings would rise 2.8 percent. Nearly seven out of every 10 companies have surpassed Wall Street's profit targets.

The results aren't exactly impressive, said Sam Stovall, the chief equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ. Investors often argue that analysts set the bar for earnings so low that most companies are bound to jump over it. On average, more than six of every 10 companies beat Wall Street's targets every quarter.

Starbucks posted results late Thursday that beat analysts' estimates. Lower costs for coffee beans and better sales of salads and sandwiches helped. Starbucks jumped $5.19, or 8 percent, to $73.36.

The?stock?market hasn't ended the week with a loss since June 21, when speculation that the Federal Reserve would start easing off its support for the economy rattled financial markets.

Kleintop cautioned against reading too much into the market's moves on Friday or the weekly loss. The S&P 500 is still up 5.3 percent for the month and 18.6 percent for the year.

"It's just one week down after four up," he said. "If the market just goes higher and higher week after week, you would see a major swoon when it runs into some disappointing news."

In the market for U.S. government bonds, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note slipped to 2.56 percent from 2.57 percent late Thursday.

Long-term interest rates have swung in a wide range since early May as traders attempt to anticipate the Fed's next move. The yield on the 10-year note went as low as 1.63 percent on May 1 and as high as 2.74 percent on July 5.
