This is AP News Minute. President Barack Obama has toured a devastated neighborhood in Joplin, Missouri one week after a tornado struck. The president promised residents they'll get the help they need, saying "We are going to be here long after the cameras leave." There are now 40 people who remain unaccounted for in Joplin. More than 130 people have been reported killed. Tallying and identifying the dead and the missing has proven a complex process. Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin is starting our East Coast bus tour on a motorcycle. She arrived at the Pentagon on the back of a motorcycle as thousands of bikers across the country gathered for Rolling Thunder. And space shuttle Endeavor is wrapping up its final space voyage. Sunday morning, the crew said goodbye, then closed the hatch. It's scheduled to return to Florida Wednesday. I'm Matt Friedman, the Associated Press with AP News Minute.
