Police seek suspects in Ferguson, Missouri, police 'ambush'By Kate Munsch FERGUSON, Mo. (Reuters) - Two police officers in Ferguson, Missouri, were shot and wounded in what officials called an ambush early on Thursday, in the latest spasm of violence arising from months of tension between African-Americans and the city's mostly white police force. An intense manhunt was under way for a suspect or suspects in the shootings of the officers, who were treated and released from hospital, St Louis County Police said. A 41-year-old St. Louis County Police officer was struck in the shoulder and a 32-year-old officer from nearby Webster Groves Police Department had a bullet lodged near his ear after it passed through his cheek, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said. You don't understand that it's going to happen." The shots rang out as a rally in front of the city's police headquarters was dispersing hours after the local police chief resigned.


North Dakota's job landscape shifting (for now) away from Big Oil

Tom Tow, a field foreman for Great Plains Gas Compression, looks at an application at a job fair in Williston, North DakotaBy Ernest Scheyder WILLISTON, N.D. (Reuters) - Halliburton Co, Schlumberger NV and other large energy companies were conspicuously absent from a major North Dakota job fair this week, a telling sign as employers in the No. 2 U.S. oil-producing state grapple with sliding crude prices. Instead of roustabouts, the state's oil industry wants pump technicians, gas-processing plant operators and truck drivers to help sustain existing production of 1.2 million barrels of oil per day - not to necessarily grow production. "When a well is out, you still have to service it," said Cindy Sanford of Job Service North Dakota, which helped organize the two-day job fair in Williston, capital of the state's oil boom. Halliburton was a key participant in last year's Williston job fair.

Lead industry negotiator Royal Dutch Shell Plc did not comment.

Matt Bai: The real source of Hillary’s transparency problem

Posted: 12 Mar 2015 03:06 AM PDT

Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton speaks during a news conference at the United Nations in New YorkWith Hillary Clinton, we always assume she's holding something back. What was striking during her press conference Tuesday was how little she seems to appreciate this circumstance and her own role in creating it. The truth is that during the Clintons' rise, an America cleaved by generational and ideological change would never have accepted them any other way. But this isn't 1992. Transparency and authenticity are paramount in the social media culture, and the lack of them is fatal.
