Police have video recordings to help them search for a man who spray-painted Pablo Picasso's "Woman in a Red Armchair" at a Houston art museum.

Officials say the vandalism happened Wednesday afternoon at the Menil Collection, where the 1929 painting is one of nine Picassos. Menil spokesman Vance Muse tells the Houston Chronicle (http://bit.ly/KIxpuX) that museum security officers detected the vandalism almost immediately, when the paint was barely dry. Chief conservator Brad Epley began repair work immediately, and Muse says the painting has "an excellent prognosis."

Justin Bieber had an unplugged performance at the Apollo Theater on Monday, but it wasn't intentional — a problem caused a power outage during the singing sensation's big concert.

Germany advanced to the European Championship quarterfinals without playing brilliantly.

They didn't have to.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has pledged to continue his international career with Sweden, already looking ahead to the 2014 World Cup after an early exit at the European Championship.

Sweden was eliminated after losing to Ukraine and England in its first two group games at Euro 2012, leading some to wonder whether the 30-year-old Ibrahimovic — who has taken breaks from international duty in the past — would return to the team when World Cup qualifying starts.

There's a form of extra-sensory perception called psychometry, whose practitioners claim to learn things about objects by touching them. Smartphones set to be released this month by Samsung and Sony will have some of that ability: they'll learn things when you touch them to pre-programmed "tags."

For example, you can program a tag with your phone number, and stick it on your business card. When someone taps their phone to the card, the phone would call you. Or you can put a tag on your night stand. Place the phone there, and it goes into "alarm clock" mode, holding your calls until the morning.

UEFA has given German referee Wolfgang Stark his second top assignment at the European Championship, working the Spain vs. Croatia match on Monday.

A Lebanese-born inmate is too mentally ill to be executed for the killings of his wife and brother-in-law, a U.S. judge ruled Friday in a decision that comes just a week after the governor issued a reprieve hours before the man was set to die.

"Abdul Awkal presently lacks the capacity to form a rational understanding as to the reason the state intends to execute him," county Judge Stuart Friedman said. "Abdul Awkal may not be executed unless and until he has been restored to competency."

Watching Spain play is a lot of fun for Germany striker Mario Gomez, and it will be even more enjoyable if he can beat the land of his father at the European Championship.

Germany was beaten by Spain at the last two major tournaments — in the final of Euro 2008 and in the semifinals of the 2010 World Cup.

New Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova says the Spanish club is looking to reinforce its defense and hopes to hold on to Dani Alves and Seydou Keita.

Vilanova, who signed a two-year contract Friday to take over from Pep Guardiola, said "we want to add to our defense. We have had problems and have been forced to adjust at both left back and center back."
