absolutely critical. timing a huge problem here. the report comes sandwiched between a national holiday and summer weekend. many trader are on vacation. that means we can see an overreaction to the data whether good or bad. volume is going to be low. volatility can be very high. another story this morning, apple sued by boston university in a patent case seeking to halt iphone as well as ipad sales. this is a big one because the school is seeking to ban the tech giant from selling these devices claiming patent infringement. b.u. said one of its professors invented a semiconductor patent apple violated. >> start checking labels in your clothing. more are going to say made in the u.s.a. major retailers like brooks brothers and saks says quality is better and wait time shorter. they are hiring american workers but have a long way to go to return the 800,000

disappear from this region. >> that's really interesting. the jersey shore was one of the hardest hit areas during superstorm sandy. the storm reduced blocks of homes, boardwalks, businesses all to complete rubble and tourism at the shore is an extremely part of new jersey's economy especially during the summer months. we recently visited the jersey shore to see where the recovery stands. >> the boardwalk is back having gone from this post-sandy to this today. >> i would say everybody's excited to be back, but everybody's a little nervous. >> this is one of the many boardwalk business owners in bell mar we met in march as she prepared to reopen her business, hoping for the best. >> i have the right attitude, the right energy and the people are here and i stay on top of it, it could be the best ever. >> after a lot of work and

a few tears, her temporary store, a tricked out trailer, is back on the boardwalk. >> we did it in 48 hours with a crew of energetic employees. there were nine million boxes in here. we couldn't see straight, but everybody was organized and working together, and it came together in 48 hours. >> are you proud of it? >> yeah. >> her faith in that endeavor is wavering slightly with profits down 29% compared to the same time last year. >> i hear a lot of amazing, good for you! and they keep walking. they don't realize it took a lot of effort, a lot of time and a lot of money to get back here for all of us in business. we need the support. pick up the bottle of lotion, the t-shirt, the umbrella instead of going to wal-mart, target, wherever you're going, try to get that one item here to support the locals. that is what we really need. we love the encouragement, but we need the support. >> in many senses this is

of course a very different summer for businesses right along the jersey sure. but in one sense it's skaebt the same as -- exactly the same as every other summer. it depends on the weather. having delivered the crippling blow of sandy last fall, the weather gods are still not smiling on the jersey shore. >> i'm talking to mother nature on a daily basis and she's not listening to me. we're trying. get the information out to her. help! >> she and her fellow business owners didn't give up post-sandy and they're not about to give up now. they even have a new slogan for the summer. >> i'm jersey girl. i'm sure of myself. i've been stirred. i'm not shake *6 -- shaken. we just need good weather and need everybody to show up. >> shaken, not stirred. the time is 25 after the

there somewhere. >> heather, it's a love story 70 years in the making. as you celebrated the 4th, an arizona couple celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary. they met in the early 1940's. paul said he met phyllis right before he left to serve in world war ii. >> when i got ready to go, i grabbed my sister and kissed her. she was standing there so i grabbed her and kissed her. i told the sister i'm going to marry him someday. >> the two say they hope for many more years together. that is your five at 5:30. >> taking a look at the monthly jobs report, what will the numbers mean for an already volatile market? doug luzader is live in washington, d.c. with the latest on that story. >> we may learn today that june was another month of positive job growth but nothing spectacular. economists think we added

about 165,000 jobs last month. not bad. probably not enough, though, to make much of a dent in the overall unemployment rate. after taking a day off, the stock market is going to pop back to life today, or maybe we will fizzle. today's jobs numbers have been eagerly anticipated to see if job growth has been keeping pace with other encouraging signs. >> i think the news is improving. the american economy is starting to slip into a higher gear. >> there is no question that low interest rates are helping fuel rebound and housing purchases and car sales. consumer confidence is on the rise, the best it's been in more than five years. but much of that may be due to the federal reserve which has been juicing the economy every month. if the unemployment rate falls and the economy shows big signs of growth, the fed may begin dialing back on all of that cheap money causing interest rates to spike and investors to run. still, one bright spot may be energy.

u.s. oil reserves are putting the country on a path towards energy independence. >> we have the potential to produce upwards of 50% of the entire increase on a global scale. what that means is the united states is becoming the new epi center of oil and gas production in the world. >> as far as the overall economy is concerned, we're seeing sparks of life here and there and bits of goodws. but the economy itself is growing at a pretty sluggish rate, and that's expected to continue for some time. >> still very tepid. thank you, doug. >> this morning egypt remains very much on the edge. supporters of ousted president mohamed morsi are vowing to retaliate today in what's being called the friday of rejection. live in cairo with the latest. >> while the new government here in egypt is only about 24 hours old or so, they

will face a very tough challenge today. members of the muslim brotherhood and pro-morsi supporters, initially they were shocked. now they are angry and now they are expected to turn out in hundreds of thousands in the streets today in cairo and across the country. yesterday they held peaceful sit-in protests but now they are going to hold traditional protests. they plan to turn out in tahrir and other places in cairo and across the country. the military has begun moving its troops and equipment into key areas. they want to try to limit the amount of violence. the muslim brotherhood has called for peaceful protest, calling it a day of rejection, but continually said they want these to be peaceful protests. but already we are seeing signs of violence across the country. there were attacks in the sinai desert at military and police check points. we're told at least 16 people have been killed in violence across the country in the last 36 hours. hundreds have been injured. the pro-morsi supporters

are angry. they believe they have been cheated by the democratic movement here. they also feel as though they have been cheated by the military here. tahrir judiciary is fairly quiet right -- tahrir square is fairly quiet but we expect it to be packed with people later today. how much violence erupts across the country and here in tahrir is a big unknown but it will be a real test for this new government. they tried to project an image of control and stability, but if things break out here it will be very tough to continue with that image of stability and control. a lot of big questions coming forward in the next two or three hours. >> connor powell, live in egypt. thank you. >> switching gears, time now to entertain this and the minions are raking in the millions.
