Obama Pays Tribute as Mandela Health Looms Large
Barack Obama met Mandela's family in Johannesburg while Mandela, 94, remained hospitalized with a lung infection. He urged African leaders to pursue deals that keep benefits in Africa and pressed for jobs and manufacturing to stay in the continent. The trip highlighted U.S. economic ties with Africa as Obama also addressed youth in Soweto and met Mandela’s relatives at the foundation offices.

First responders removed the tree, and police need to interview the injured occupants before releasing details.

Opponents ask court to halt California gay marriages
The Alliance Defending Freedom filed an emergency motion asking the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene after the Ninth Circuit lifted a stay and allowed same sex marriages to resume in California. They contend the circuit acted prematurely and that Proposition 8 backers still have 22 days to seek reconsideration while awaiting higher court review. The high court earlier cleared the way for marriages and also overturned a federal benefits bar for same sex couples.
