In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) – As John Kerry prepares for a meeting Friday with Russia’s foreign minister in London, he’s issuing a warning to Russia that it will face a “very serious series” of steps from the U.S. and Europe if it annexes Ukraine’s Crimea region. Residents of Crimea vote Sunday on whether to join Russia — but the U.S. and the European Union say the referendum violates Ukraine’s constitution and international law. Still, Russia says it will respect the results.
 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – Amid the intensifying rhetoric between the United States and Russia over Ukraine, the stock market was  in retreat Thursday, with the Dow dropping 200 points in afternoon trading. Traders looking for safety have been piling money into U.S. government debt and utility stocks.

 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama has signed a presidential memorandum directing the Department of Labor to devise new overtime rules to make more workers eligible for time-and-a-half pay. The memorandum is one of the most far-reaching executive actions by the president this year. New rules would likely not take effect until 2015. Obama has pledged that when necessary, he will bypass Congress to act on his own on economic initiatives.
 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – Florida Republican David Jolly has been sworn in as the newest member of the House. Two days ago, Jolly edged out Democrat Alex Sink in a special election that Republicans cast as a referendum on the president and his unpopular health care law. The Tampa-area district had been considered a tossup. Jolly fills the open seat that had been held by Republican Bill Young for decades. Young died in October.
 
     DENVER (AP) – People have been lining up for two blocks to attend Thursday’s marijuana industry job fair in Denver. Organizers had heard ahead of time from more than 600 job seekers who were planning to be there. A company that makes vaporizers and other devices to be used with marijuana organized the fair to meet its own staffing needs and to help others in the industry.
