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.

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.

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.”
