Q: (CNN) -- The Senate on Thursday passed its version of the health care bill, inching the country closer to the biggest expansion of medical coverage since Medicare was enacted more than four decades ago. Senate Democrats declared victory after the 60-39 party line vote, but one of the most complicated tasks is still ahead. A conference committee must reconcile the differences -- notably a public option, how to pay for the plan that emerges, and coverage for abortion -- and merge them into one. The House and Senate will then have to pass the revised plan before it can be sent to President Obama's desk. Each chamber needs a simple majority vote for final passage.Conference committee must merge House, Senate billsBills differ on public option, abortion language, fundingFinal bill will look a lot like the Senate bill, congressional scholar saysLawmakers might try to extract favors in final negotiations, Ornstein says

Q: (CNN) Two hapless criminals picked the wrong place when they held up a McDonald's in France. Eleven armed members of an elite paramilitary force happened to be eating inside. The pair allegedly burst into the Ecole-Valentin branch of the fast-food restaurant in the eastern French city of Besancon on Sunday. They fired a shotgun at the ceiling, yelling at the customers inside to get on the floor, the city's prosecutor Edwige Roux-Morizot told CNN. One of the robbers then stole about 2000 euros ($2,269) from the registers before the men ran away, she said. Unfortunately for them, among the 40-odd customers grabbing burgers at the time were 11 members of the GIGN (National Gendarmerie Intervention Group), an elite special operations unit of the national gendarme which specializes in counter-terror and hostage situations.French criminals mess up by targeting a McDonald's where elite troops are eatingThey belong to special operations unit specializing in counter-terror and hostage situations

Q: No doubt Middlesbrough came here looking for a statement performance to justify their tag as Championship promotion favourites. Alas, it wasn't to be. They were stifled by a workmanlike Preston North End side simply delighted to be back at this standard and certainly not looking out of place. Perhaps there is still a hangover from that disappointing May afternoon at Wembley when Boro saw their chances of a long-anticipated Premier League return dashed by Norwich City.
