Supporters rally for embattled San Diego Mayor Bob Filner
The situation involving embattled San Diego Mayor Bob Filner may be reaching a tipping point. NBC's Lester Holt reports.
By Jeff Black, Staff Writer, NBC News
As San Diego Mayor Bob Filner met with attorneys and city leaders over what could be crucial negotiations over his future, a diverse group of his supporters rallied in front of San Diego City Hall on Monday, calling for people not to prejudge him.
Filner, who is accused of sexual harassment in a lawsuit, also faces a formal recall effort as well as federal and local investigations into his behavior on the job.
"Let?s get back to the business of moving the region forward with Mayor Bob Filner,? said organizer and human rights activist Enrique Morones, who led the rally, which was staged in front of reporters.
Morones was joined by other supporters, including campaign volunteers, former city officials and other activists, many of them women, including one who maintained Filner was "far more than sloppy kisses."

San Diego Mayor Bob Filner speaks during a news conference on July 26 in San Diego. Filner was expected to appear at City Hall on Monday.
Some supporters carried signs that read, "Due process for Mayor Filner" and "Vets for Bob," NBCSanDiego.com reported?via a live video stream of the rally.
Floyd Morrow, a former San Diego City Council member, called allegations against Filner "chatter" and likened media coverage to a ?public hanging.?
?I know that the law not only demands due process, but also the presumption of innocence,? Morrow said.
The group of supporters, dubbed ?San Diegans for Mayor Bob Filner,? which was organized on Facebook, had intended to hold the rally as Filner returned to City Hall for the first time after weeks away for what staffers said was therapy and personal time.
But Filner was not seen at the rally or at City Hall. Instead, he was in a high-rise building a couple of blocks away meeting with city leaders, including City Council President Todd Gloria, Councilman Kevin Falconer and City Attorney Jan Goldsmith. Gloria Allred, the L.A. attorney representing various women accusing Filner of inappropriate sexual advances, also attended the meeting, which were characterized as a mediation session,?NBCSanDiego.com reported.
"Judge Lawrence Irving, a former district court judge is the mediator," Allred said. "He has asked us not to comment except to say mediation is ongoing."

The precise subject of the meeting was unclear, although one local media report suggested Filner and his attorneys could be in?negotiations with city officials for a potential resignation. That has not been confirmed by NBC News.
The latest developments came a day after hundreds of people rallied in downtown San Diego calling for Filner's resignation and kicking off a signature campaign to recall him from office. Recall organizers have until Sept. 26 to collect the 101,000 valid signatures needed to qualify for the November ballot.
A San Diego radio station hired skywriters to spell out the message "Surrender Bob" in an effort to get the city's embattled mayor to resign.
On Monday, former San Diego City Councilman Carl DeMaio, a congressional candidate who lost to Filner in last year?s mayor?s? race, called on elected officials to join in the recall effort.
"To have elected officials stand on the sidelines, cautiously waiting, is inexcusable," DeMaio told the San Diego Union-Tribune on Monday. "It's abdication of leadership. So I'm calling on these elected officials to put into action their networks of supporters, their resources, their campaign committees."
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, one of the numerous public people who have called for Filner's resignation, has said that he should spare San Diego the pain and expense of a recall election.

Outbound calls from desktop Gmail are back, with free calling to the US and Canada
Today Google has brought back the ability to make phone calls from desktop Gmail, Google+ and via its Chrome extension, and also announced that calls to the US and Canada are free (from countries where Hangouts calling is available. The feature disappeared when Google introduced its new Hangouts setup, but a post on the Gmail blog claims that now it's better than ever. According to the company, "Hangouts is designed to be the future of Google Voice," with making and receiving calls just the beginning. For now, users can enjoy new features like adding multiple phone numbers and video participants to the same call, and using sound effects from the Google Effects app. Current Hangouts users should see a new phone icon in Gmail, or a "call a phone" menu item in Google+ and the Chrome extension.

Shell names van Beurden as surprise choice for CEO
By Sarah Young and Kate Holton
LONDON (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell
Analysts and investors had not considered van Beurden, who has worked for the company for 30 years, as a possible contender to replace Voser next year.
Their early focus was on Finance Director Simon Henry and other divisional heads Marvin Odum, Matthias Bichseland and Andrew Brown.
Voser, who built the oil company into a leader in liquefied natural gas (LNG) and was finance director at the company before taking the helm in 2009, shocked the industry by announcing his early departure over two months ago.
Shares in Shell gained 1 percent in early trading on Tuesday following the appointment of the relatively unknown van Beurden, who only joined the company's executive committee in January.
"It's initially something of a surprise. The question is, who is this guy," Royal Bank of Canada analyst Peter Hutton said.
Shell said van Beurden, a 55-year-old Dutchman, had a deep knowledge of the industry, having worked across a range of businesses and countries since he joined the firm in 1983.
"Ben will continue to drive and further develop the strategic agenda that we have set out, to generate competitive returns for our shareholders," said Chairman Jorma Ollila.
Van Beurden, whose new job will start next January, has worked in both the upstream and downstream parts of the company including within the increasingly important LNG business for 10 years.
His appointment comes as the company and its industry face huge challenges.
Shell is the western world's number two company by production behind Exxon Mobil
Amongst the other candidates who had been tipped as possible replacements for Voser were the company's head of upstream operations in the Americas, Marvin Odum, director of projects and technology Matthias Bichseland and Andrew Brown, who became head of international upstream last year.
RBC's Hutton pointed out that while the appointment of van Beurden was a surprise, Shell had in the past named bosses from the downstream, or refining, part of the business including Voser's predecessor Jeroen van der Veer.
He oversaw the initial stages of a recovery at Shell, which a decade ago was engulfed by crisis following a dramatic downgrade of reserves which rocked investor confidence when it became public in 2004.
Van Beurden, a chemical engineering graduate, has first-hand experience of the reserves crisis. He worked at the time as management assistant to Phil Watts, the CEO who was sacked as a result.
"He was clearly a high-flyer then and I am not surprised at all that he's made it all the way to the top," said a former colleague who no longer works for Shell.
