This is Newsy Now and here are the headlines you need to know. In U.S. news-- President Obama visited Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to push what he called the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership. WZZM has the details.

ANGELA CUNNINGHAM: “The goal is to get industry, universities and the federal government all working together to invest in emerging technologies. and the University of Michigan will be very much involved with this. Over the past year or so manufacturers have begun to bounce back from the recession. Obama believes the way to continue that is to figure out ways to invest more in technologies such as information technology, bio technology and nanotechnology.”

In world news-- euronews reports former Rwandan Minister for Women’s Affairs has been convicted to life in prison for her involvement in the Rwandan genocide.

ANCHOR: “The voice of the judge at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda sentencing former Women’s Minister Pauline Nyiramasuhuko to life in prison for genocide and encouraging the rape of Tutsi women. The judgement signalled the end of a ten-year trial by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. The 65-year-old is the first woman convicted by the UN-backed court. She was found guilty of seven of the 11 charges which she faced and denied all of them. Her son was also found guilty of atrocities committed in Rwanda.”

In business news-- it just never ends. MSNBC says the Winklevoss brothers are at it again.

REBECCA QUICK: “We thought maybe we finally heard an end yesterday when the twins decided not to take this to the Supreme Court. the expectation was that they would lose at that point. so we thought we were finally rid of this, but they are back just a day later now saying that they are filing with the U.S. district court in Massachusetts. They are seeking to try and prove that Facebook intentionally suppressed evidence.”

In tech news-- it appears other hackers are getting fed up with Lulzsec. But Lulzsec doesn’t seem to care very much.

According to TG Daily-- the infamous hacking group sent out several tweets online criticizing fellow hacker “The Jester,” who put up several post logs from the group. They said the Jester was just trying to get attention from their notoriety and insulted his coding skills.

And in entertainment-- the hit game Team Fortress Two is now completely free to play. Buzz:60 has more.

MAUREEN ALADIN: “There’s nothing like being able to play one of the most action packed for PCs and Macs online for free. Team Fortress 2 is now available for everyone’s playing pleasure. and this is not a demo version. It’s the full experience. The creators of the game wanted to reach as many online players as possible so playing for free fit their multiplayer game model.”
