DENVER, July 3 (Reuters) – U.S. Senator Mark Udall’s younger brother, who had been missing for more than a week, was found dead on Wednesday in a Wyoming mountain range, but no foul play was suspected, authorities said.

The body of James “Randy” Udall, 61, who had been the subject of a search since failing to return from a week-long backcountry hike, was discovered in a remote area of the Wind River Range, according to Sublette County Sheriff Dave Lankford.

But the state Legislature this week approved an idea that might ease the economic dread for future philosophy and art history majors. The concept – called Pay It Forward – calls for students to attend public universities tuition free and loan free.

As Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) readies to announce “exciting future plans” on Monday, some Texas residents appear to have no interest in a 2016 presidential run being a part of that news.

A Public Policy Polling (PPP) survey released Wednesday finds that Lone Star State voters are more interested in seeing Sen. Ted Cruz (R) run than a Perry redux. Of 500 registered voters asked, including 318 Republicans, 27 percent selected Cruz as their top choice, followed by 15 percent for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) and 11 percent for current Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R).

Perry finished a distant sixth on that question, at 7 percent. Perhaps the most glaring number for the governor was 74 percent going against the idea of him running in 2016 altogether.

CAIRO — “The armed forces couldn’t plug its ears or close its eyes as the movement and demands of the masses calling for them to play a national role, not a political role as the armed forces themselves will be the first to proclaim that they will stay away from politics.

The armed forces sensed – given their sharp vision – that the people sought their support, not power or rule but for general services and necessary protection of the demands of the revolution. This is the message that the armed forces received from all over urban Egypt, its cities, and its villages; it (the military) recognized the invitation, understood its intentions, appreciated its necessity and got closer to the national scene hoping, willing and abiding by all limits of duty, responsibility and honesty.
