But, it is not the real story here. \n  \n That real story is that mere hours after Trump held a call with a foreign leader, the fact that he had gone against the advice of his national security team and congratulated Putin was leaked to the press. \n  \n a) Trump had congratulated Putin on his \"win\"; \n  \n b) Trump's briefing papers had contained the phrase \"DO NOT CONGRATULATE\"; \n  \n c) Trump didn't broach the subject of the poisoning of a former Russia spy and his daughter on British soil; \n  \n d) Trump was urged via talking points to bring up the poisoning. \n  \n That level of information suggests a closeness to the President that doesn't come from some junior staffer popping off. This feels like a purposeful leak at the highest levels of presumably the national security apparatus designed to publicly embarrass the President. \n  \n Why? Because there is clearly a belief among some (many?) of Trump's advisers that the only way to really get your point across is to put it into the papers and on cable TV. That simply finding a quiet moment to counsel the President as to why he really shouldn't have congratulated Putin on the call wouldn't work -- that Trump would either not listen or never allow that conversation to happen in the first place. \n  \n And THAT is a massive story. Because a White House -- any White House -- in which the confidential details of a call between the President of the United States and the President of Russia leaks out hours after it happens is a dysfunctional one. \n  \n According to CNN's Kaitlan Collins and Jeff Zeleny , Trump and White House chief of staff John Kelly is livid about the leak and plans to address it sometime Wednesday. \n  \n \"This is unacceptable,\" one White House official told CNN , suggesting that some within the White House view the leak as a deliberate attempt to embarrass both Trump and national security adviser H.R. McMaster, who was in the room for the call. \n  \n Which, um, no duh! \n  \n \"All White Houses leak. Sometimes the leaks are big, sometimes small. But there are always people willing to talk to reporters about the 'real' story or about why the chief executive made a mistake in regard to some decision he made. \n  \n That said, I've never seen so much leaking so quickly \u2014 and with such disdain for the President \u2014 as I have in the first six days of Donald Trump's presidency.\" \n  \n So problematic did the leaks grow that when Kelly was brought in as chief of staff, one of his signature pronouncements was that he would get a handle on the leaking of the President's private communications and thoughts. \n  \n Didn't work. Not only does this White House still leak like a sieve, but the nature of the leaks themselves continue to suggest a dismissiveness bordering on dislike for Trump. \n  \n He -- and some around him -- will likely attribute the leaks to the alleged \"Deep State\" burrowed within the federal government that continues to work to discredit him. \n  \n Since I don't believe in conspiracy theories, I think the real motivation for the leaks is that some within particularly the national security apparatus have decided that leaking things to the media is the only way to a) get the President's attention and b) possibly change his mind. \n  \n And that is no way to run a railroad. Or a White House. ||||| Russian President Vladimir Putin addresses Russian Paralympics Athletes who competed in the 2018 Pyeonchang Winter Paralympics, in the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia, Tuesday, March 20, 2018.

Tehran does not recognize the Jewish state, and supports anti-Israeli militants like Lebanon's Hezbollah and Palestinian Hamas. \n  \n Israel has threatened to strike Iranian nuclear installations that the West suspects have a military dimension. Iran denies the charge, saying its nuclear program is aimed at peaceful purposes like power generation and cancer treatment. \n  \n Over the years, Israeli officials have mentioned various timeframes for how close Iran is to developing a military nuclear capability. In his address at the U.N. last year, for instance, Netanyahu said Iran would enter the final phase of enrichment by mid-2013. Israel has since backed away from that assessment. Israeli officials say the changing assessments are the result of Israeli and international pressure that have forced Iran to slow its efforts. \n  \n Later on Thursday, Zarif said that talks between Iran and world powers planned for later in October should peacefully resolve the nuclear issue, despite pressures from Israel. \n  \n \"We know that Netanyahu and hard-liners in the U.S. are very concerned,\" he wrote on his Facebook page. \"But we do not allow Netanyahu to decide the future of our talks.\" He said a majority of Americans now prefer to settle the nuclear issue through talks although they preferred a military option months ago. \n  \n Also on Tuesday, Iranian foreign ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham accused Israel of lashing out at Iran because of the effectiveness of its outreach to the United States. \n  \n \"The pressure by the Zionist regime is because of its isolation, and the fact that that Iran's policy has been accepted on a global level,\" Afkham said at a regular media briefing in Tehran. \"Zionists will apply pressure in various fields and their propaganda will continue,\" she added. \n  \n She said the White House should resist calls for war against the Islamic Republic, and that the U.S. was currently undergoing \"a test to prove to what extent it can resist the war mongers.\" \n  \n \"We expect U.S. officials to have a realistic attitude toward the great Iranian nation and to address it with respect,\" she added. |||||", "targets": "\u2013 Benjamin Netanyahu took his turn at the UN General Assembly podium today, and used it to blast Iranian President Hasan Rouhani and his much-celebrated outreach efforts. \"Now I know, Rouhani doesn't sound like Ahmadinejad,\" he said, according to CNN.

It sounds like a lot, but Venezuela's runaway inflation means that sum is worth just $3.83 at the current exchange rate that millions of citizens follow closely. \n  \n Once the child is born, mothers will receive an additional 1 million bolivars, or $5.48. \n  \n Maduro didn't give a specific reason for the new handouts. Despite the fact that the sums aren't worth much in reality, he received a standing ovation from his supporters after announcing them. \n  \n Amid the country's collapsing economy, Venezuelans suffer from extreme shortages of medicine, food, toiletries and other essential items. The payments for pregnant women are unlikely to help them get hold of those things. \n  \n And the paltry sums will almost certainly be worth less in a matter of days as Venezuela's hyperinflation devours people's paychecks and salaries. \n  \n One dollar currently equals about 182,000 bolivars, according to a widely followed unofficial exchange rate. That's up from just over 41,000 bolivars in November. \n  \n The vast majority of citizens don't follow the government's official rate because it's believed to overvalue the bolivar. \n  \n Related: Venezuela's oil production plummets \n  \n Inflation in Venezuela last year rose above 4,000%, according to Steve Hanke, a professor of applied economics at Johns Hopkins University and an expert on hyperinflation. \n  \n The new handouts for pregnant women highlight Maduro's enthusiasm for announcing plans to dish out the country's rapidly devaluing cash. \n  \n He has raised Venezuela's monthly minimum wage several times in recent years. In November, he gave out a \"Christmas voucher\" worth 500,000 bolivars (roughly $12 at the time, but about $2.74 now) to 4 million families. \n  \n Maduro has also tried to control prices in the economy. Earlier this month, he ordered private supermarkets, which set their own prices on most items, to slash food prices, causing confusion among customers. \n  \n Related: Venezuela plans its own version of Bitcoin \n  \n The president often claims he's trying to aid Venezuelans as the United States and other nations wage what he calls an \"economic war\" against his regime. Independent economists say government mismanagement, unsustainable policies and widespread corruption have crippled the nation of 30 million people. \n  \n One key rub to the payment for pregnant mothers is that they must have Venezuela's new national ID card. It's seen in the country as a symbol of support for Maduro, and many citizens opposed to the government don't carry it. It is unclear if pregnant women without the card will still receive the government handouts. \n  \n Maduro estimated that about 151,000 pregnant women would soon receive the monthly payments. \n  \n -- Stefano Pozzebon contributed reporting to this article from Caracas |||||"}
{"inputs": "Article:\nA Tibetan lama believes he cured his gangrene-stricken leg by meditating for a year. Now scientists are studying his brain, hoping to discover a medical miracle. \n  \n Can the power of the mind help humans self-heal? That\u2019s what a group of scientists are hoping to help determine by studying a Tibetan lama who believes he cured himself of gangrene through meditation. \n  \n When Tibetan Lama Phakyab Rinpoche immigrated to the United States in 2003, he was a 37-year-old refugee with diabetes and Pott\u2019s Disease. His afflictions had gotten so bad that his right foot and leg had developed gangrene. He was hospitalized and examined by three different doctors in New York City who all gave the same treatment recommendation: amputate. \n  \n Can meditation cure disease? (Getty Images) \n  \n Few people would go against such medical advice, but Rinpoche (pronounced Rin-Poh-Chey) is no average person. Born in 1966 in Kham, Tibet, he was ordained at the age of 13 and named the Eighth Incarnation of the Phakyab Rinpoche by the Dalai Lama himself when he was working toward the highest level of Tibetan Buddhist study, the Geshe degree, in 1993. A deeply spiritual man who has devoted his life to the teachings of Buddhism, it was only natural that he should reach out to his mentor, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, when deciding whether to allow his leg to be cut off. \n  \n The Dalai Lama\u2019s response was shocking: Do not amputate. Instead, Lama Rinpoche says, the Tibetan spiritual leader advised his prot\u00e9g\u00e9 to utilize his virtuoso skills at Tsa Lung meditation\u2014heal himself, and then teach others the value of the ancient tradition. He sent a letter prescribing additional mantras, such as the Hayagriva, which, at the outset of new endeavors, is said to clear obstacles and provide protection in their tradition. \n  \n It was a decision that would require an incomprehensible leap of faith. But Rinpoche says there was no doubt within him. Though doctors had made it clear he could die, he was not afraid. \u201cAs a Buddhist, what is the worst thing that could happen if I die?\u201d he told The Daily Beast through a translator. \u201cI would be reborn again. But to lose a leg in one lifetime because I didn\u2019t try to save it didn\u2019t make sense.\u201d \n  \n And so he began to meditate. Rinpoche says he took no medicine and his diet was an ordinary one. He would break for meals\u2014when the lama he was living with came home from work, they would have dinner and enjoy conversation\u2014but then he would return to meditating before getting a good night\u2019s sleep at the end of the day. In the morning, he would awake and return to his routine. \n  \n In the early days of this ritual, Lama Rinpoche remembers, the putrid ooze from his leg ran black; a few months later it turned cloudy, he said, and bruising started to appear. The swelling increased and it was more painful. The odor was sickening, he recalls. But still he felt no doubt. \n  \n The progression of the degradation wasn\u2019t simply halted\u2014his leg was back from the dead. \n  \n Then, after nine months, he says something began to happen that many Americans would consider a miracle. The liquid leaking from his disabled leg began to run clear. The swelling went down. Soon he could put some weight on it. At ten months, he could walk again, first with crutches. A short time later he was down to one crutch, and then, before even a year had passed, he was walking on his own. \n  \n The progression of the degradation wasn\u2019t simply halted\u2014his leg was back from the dead. His diabetes and complicating Tuberculosis are gone today as well. ||||| Now, a group of doctors at New York University have begun studying Rinpoche\u2014specifically, his brain. Practitioners of Tsa Lung meditation like Rinpoche visualize a wind (or \u201clung,\u201d or \u201cprana\u201d) that is one with the mind, moving down the center channel of their bodies, clearing blockages and impurities before moving on to ever-smaller channels. \n  \n \"This is a cognitive-behavioral practice that present East-West science suggests may be more effective that any existing strictly Western medical intervention,\u201d says Dr. William C. Bushell, an MIT-affiliated researcher in medical anthropology and director of East-West Research for Tibet House in New York. Gangrene is not curable by current medical intervention once past a certain point in its progression, except by amputation. \n  \n This month, Dr. Bushell and NYU neuroscientist Zoran Josipovic, Ph.D. won Lama Rinpoche\u2019s cooperation in undergoing a functional MRI scan of his brain while he meditated inside the scanner at NYU\u2019s Center for Brain Imaging. In this first scan the Rinpoche participated in an ongoing study of the effects of different types of meditations on anti-correlated networks in the brain that Dr. Josipovic has been conducting at NYU. \n  \n Bushell wrote a scientific analysis of the processes occurring in the same form of meditation used by Rinpoche in a letter to Joshua Lederberg, Nobel Prize winner in medicine, some 10 years ago. Dr. Lederberg was one of the giants of modern science, father of molecular biology, infectious disease medicine, and modern genetics. His foundation published the letter, which is actually an adaptation of a scientific paper, posthumously on his website. It speaks of the mild to moderate hyperthermia resulting from the practice, which kills bacteria and aids the body in healing. \n  \n \u201cIt is not entirely clear from a Western science perspective what the winds are, but the scientific evidence suggests to me and others that the meditative process involving winds includes increased local blood flow, metabolic activity, and oxygenation,\u2019\u2019 Bushell explains. \u201cThe original scientific model I developed (which is largely in a theoretical state) was based on, among other things, the pioneering work of Thomas K Hunt, MD, on the antibiotic properties of oxygenation in the blood and surrounding tissues, and was sponsored by the Institute of Noetic Sciences in Petaluma, Calif. Research shows that mental imagery directed to sites of the body, both superficial as well as deeper tissues, can with practice eventually lead to increased local blood flow, metabolic activity, and oxygenation. Such increases could in principle combat even powerful bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, which not only can be the cause of gangrene, but is now often times resistant to antibiotics.\u201d \n  \n Dr. Bushell\u2019s colleague Dr. Josipovic was also very curious about Rinpoche\u2019s abilities and, in particular, about the way they may have affected the functional and structural organization of his brain. The early results of the test are significant at first glance, he says. They show changes in a wide network of brain areas mediating attention and awareness. The team will publish their findings next year. \n  \n \u201cOver the past 10 years research into the effects of meditation on the brain has been gaining unprecedented public and scientific attention,\u201d Dr. Josipovic explains. \u201cWhat these studies have shown is that it is possible to optimize one's life experience through cultivation of subtle cognitive states generated through meditation, and that these are accompanied by changes in the anatomical structure of the brain, or neuroplasticity. But what soon became evident was that a great variety of meditation techniques and states of consciousness they engender, pose a considerable challenge for understanding them in terms of the established constructs of Western science.\u201d \n  \n Dr. Josipovic says that a major new discovery in the field of neuroscience, that of spontaneously fluctuating resting-state networks in the brain, has the potential to shed some light on this issue. \u201cOn a global level, the brain appears to be organized into two large-scale networks: extrinsic, or the task-positive network, composed of the brain areas that are active when we are focused on some task or external environment, and the intrinsic, or \u2018default\u2019 network, composed of the areas that are active when we reflect on ourselves and own experience.\u201d \n  \n These networks are usually anti-correlated in their activity\u2014that is, when one is \u201cup\u201d the other is \u201cdown,\u201d he says. \u201cWhile this antagonism serves some healthy functions, for example, of allowing us to focus on a task and refrain from being distracted by daydreaming or irrelevant concerns, we suspect it may also underlie some unhealthy aspects of our everyday experience, such as excessive fragmentation between self/other and internal/external\u2014in other words the \u2018dualistic mind\u2019 that many contemplative traditions see as the root of our suffering.\u2019\u2019 \n  \n Those who wish to begin a Tsa Lung practice, which is an advanced but achievable discipline, are encouraged to seek a teacher. Rinpoche himself teaches often across the country, and is adding a website www.awakeningmindfoundation.org and Skype to his teaching sessions to reach more people around the world. This year he will lead a special New Year gathering in Tubac, Arizona sponsored by Pocket Sanctuary and the Helen Graham Park Foundation. \n  \n MaryAnn Zitka, a medical researcher and senior student of Phakyab Rinpoche explains that the word Rinpoche is a Tibetan Buddhist honorific title that literally means the precious one. \u201cThis is a very appropriate title to me,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s not often that you meet someone so committed to helping others. Rinpoche freely teaches his wisdom traditions to all who wish to learn, and his only request is to practice.\u201d \n  \n Maureen Seaberg is a NYC-based journalist whose work has appeared in the New York Times, the Daily News, Irish America, ESPN the magazine and on PBS and MSNBC.

The 44-year-old never got to see his children grow up because of a crime now known he didn't commit. \n  \n His parental rights were terminated in 1997 because El Paso County social workers believed he sexually assaulted his then-4-year-old daughter in Colorado Springs. \n  \n Pitman was never arrested, but that didn't matter to a family court judge, who approved the termination recommended by the El Paso County Department of Human Services. \n  \n On June 16, 1996, a stranger broke into an apartment occupied by Pitman's ex-wife, 4-year-old daughter and 6-month-old son. \n  \n According to the El Paso County Sheriff's Office, the suspect gained entry through an unlocked window in the middle of the night, entered the girl's bedroom and sexually assaulted her. \n  \n According to a taped interview obtained by the FOX31 Problem Solvers, one day after the attack, the girl told a detective, \"He hurted me when I was sleeping in bed and I started screaming for mom and she hear me screaming and the stranger walked out of my house to mom's room and jumped out her window.\" \n  \n Deputies dusted the windows for fingerprints and recovered a left palm print on a kitchen window screen. \n  \n \"There was forcible entry to the residence. It was a stranger that probably committed this crime,\" remembered Lt. Chery Peck, the first law enforcement investigator on the scene. \n  \n \"I had asked (the 4-year-old girl) that, if it was somebody that she knew and she said no. She had never seen the person before.\" \n  \n During the videotaped interview with a detective on June 17, 1996, the victim wasn't able to give a good description of her attacker, saying, \"I don't know what he, he maybe looked like my dad. He maybe has skin like brown like my dad.\" \n  \n Peck isn't surprised the girl would compare the attacker to her father. \n  \n \"That's the male figure in her life that she knew at the time,\" Peck said. \"That's who she compared this individual to because it was a male that committed the crime.\" \n  \n \"The word she used in the one interview was 'dark' like my dad. At the time I was framing houses so I was really suntanned,\" Pitman said. \n  \n The 24-year-old had just separated from his ex-wife two weeks before the attack and was living with friends across town. \n  \n His ex-wife called him moments after the break-in to say their daughter had been assaulted. \n  \n Pitman said he drove to the apartment and followed an ambulance to the hospital. Deputies would later replicate Pitman's drive to the apartment to prove he could not have attacked his daughter and still drive home fast enough to receive a landline phone call from his ex-wife. \n  \n But a few months later, his daughter's story changed. In a videotaped interview from February 1997, his daughter told a therapist hired by the El Paso County Department of Human Services \"that's what my dad did ... hurted me.\" \n  \n \"Repeatedly ask a 4-year-old 'did your dad do it' I think sooner or later they're going to believe you did it,\" Pitman said. \n  \n Pitman was never arrested, but court records show social workers wrote, \"Mr. Pitman will take responsibility for the sexual/physical abuse\" adding \"Mr. Pitman is to participate in a psychological and/or sex offender evaluation.\" \n  \n When Pitman refused, insisting he was innocent, the El Paso County Department of Human Services filed a motion for termination, taking away Pitman's parental rights to his daughter and baby son. \n  \n \"I've been in prison for 20 years now. That's more or less what it feels like. I might not have went to jail, but I've been in prison for 20 years,\" Pitman said. \n  \n The 44-year-old was only fully exonerated because of a federal grant given to New Jersey State Police in 2014. \n  \n Investigators were able to go back through old physical fingerprint cards nationwide and add them to a digital database. \n  \n That's when the fingerprint from the the 1996 Colorado Springs sex assault was linked to a 1998 burglary in Garland, Texas, committed by Joel Market. \n  \n Market was stationed at Fort Carson Army Base in 1996, less than a mile from where the 4-year-old girl lived. \n  \n In 1996, the same neighborhood had seen five other break-ins, some that were sexual in nature. At the time, deputies released a composite sketch of a black male but never identified a suspect. \n  \n Investigators said they suspect Market committed all of the crimes but the statute of limitations expired on every crime except for the one involving Pitman's daughter because she was a minor. \n  \n In October 2016, the fingerprint from the kitchen window screen would help convince a jury to convict Market of sex assault on a child. In January, an El Paso County judge sentenced Market to 24 years in prison. \n  \n \"It is the nightmare that everybody thinks about, it was a stranger breaking in, in the middle of the night and assaulting children,\" said El Paso County Assistant District Attorney Justin Vasquez. \n  \n \"The entire family really suffered from that. He didn't take anything from the house, but he robbed them of a life together.\" \n  \n El Paso sheriff's Det. Kurt Smith detective began investigating Market in 2014 after the fingerprint match. \n  \n \"I feel for Brad,\" Smith said. \"Even during trial, I believe there was still some belief that the father had done this and I don't think they fully believe that it was (Market), but I think they were starting to come to terms after he was found guilty.\" \n  \n Pitman has always suspected social workers shaped false memories in the mind of his daught and remains bitter the El Paso County Department of Human Services hasn't apologized for terminating the parental rights of an innocent man. \n  \n Rick Bengtsson's tenure at the department predates the 1996 sex crime, though he was not the director at the time of the attack. He is the person who could offer Pitman an apology. \n  \n \"I'm not going to share in the media, acknowledge that we even have an open case,\" Bengtsson said. \n  \n When asked if it's not an open case and why can't the department apologize, Bengtsson said, \"I'll just leave it as I will leave it as an open invitation anyone would like to meet with me, a citizen they are more than welcome to do that.\" \n  \n Bengtsson did offer to meet with Pitman. \n  \n \"They messed up. Admit you did wrong,\" Pitman said. \n  \n Pitman did try reaching out to his now-24-year-old daughter on Facebook a few years ago but she told him she wanted nothing to do with him. \n  \n Even though Market has been convicted, Pitman said he can't bear the thought of being rejected again so he hasn't tried to reach out to his daughter again. ||||| An ex-Fort Carson soldier linked to the 1996 rape of a 4-year-old girl was sentenced to prison Wednesday. \n  \n Joel Market, of Mesquite, Texas, bowed his head and wept as 4th Judicial District Judge Gregory Werner sentenced him to 24 years behind bars - near the top end of the 10-32 years that Market faced after his October conviction for sexual assault on a child. \n  \n After a three-day trial, an El Paso County jury found Market guilty of breaking into the girl's Fort Carson-area home and assaulting her as she lay in bed, inflicting injuries so severe she required five follow-up surgeries to recover. \n  \n Market, 50, was tied to the crime in part by a palm print left on a kitchen window. \n  \n His arrest and conviction absolved the girl's father of suspicions that have divided the girl's family for two decades. Although Brad Pitman wasn't charged with a crime, his ex-wife became convinced he was responsible, fueling a continuing estrangement that Pitman said robbed him of a relationship with his now-grown children. \n  \n \"It'll never be over - my kids hate me,\" he said after the sentencing. \"I've more or less spent 20 years in prison, even if I wasn't behind bars.\" \n  \n Now living in Gillette, Wyo., where he is married with three stepchildren, Pitman said he tried unsuccessfully to reach out to his daughter on Facebook and plans to try again now that Market has been sentenced. \n  \n His children changed their last name after their parents' divorce became final, he said. \n  \n His son is a college student in California. He said he believes his daughter is living in the Pikes Peak region, but he isn't sure. \n  \n The case went cold despite a lengthy investigation by El Paso County sheriff's investigators. \n  \n New evidence surfaced in 2014, after the New Jersey State Patrol received a federal grant to process a backlog of fingerprint cards from cold cases, many of which were sent to them by law enforcement agencies from across the country. \n  \n When the agency transferred physical fingerprint cards to a federal database, they came up with a match to Market, whose prints were on file after a 1998 burglary conviction in Texas. \n  \n Prosecutors say Market confessed to the rape while under interrogation, though his court-appointed attorney disputed the claim. \n  \n The 1998 burglary conviction - which resulted in a deferred sentence - was Market's only previous brush with the law. \n  \n El Paso County sheriff's investigators said in an arrest affidavit that they suspect Market in a series of other 1996 burglaries around Fort Carson, but he hasn't been charged with other crimes. \n  \n -- \n  \n Lance Benzel \n  \n Legal Affairs reporter \n  \n 719-636-0366 \n  \n Body-justified |||||\nWhat is a summary?", "targets": "\u2013 It's a parent's worst nightmare\u2014a stranger breaks into the home and sexually assaults a young child. But in Colorado Springs in 1996, things actually got much worse from there for Brad Pitman, the father of a 4-year-old girl hurt so badly she required five surgeries, per the Gazette. Through a convoluted series of events, suspicion was cast on Pitman; though he was never arrested, he ended up being denied parental rights to his daughter and then-6-month-old son. But in 2014, a federal grant supplied the resources needed to add old physical fingerprint cards from around the country to a national database\u2014and Pitman's name was cleared as a result. A handprint found on a kitchen window after the girl's rape matched up with Joel Market, a man who lived less than a mile away at the time, reports KDVR. \"I might not have went to jail, but I've been in prison for 20 years,\" says Pitman, 44, whose family still wants nothing to do with him. The crime took place in June 1996, two weeks after Pitman and his wife had separated. The girl's screams woke her mother, who called Pitman; he rushed over. In an interview, the girl described the perpetrator as a stranger. But in February 1997, she said her dad \"hurted me.\" Cops determined there was no way Pitman could have assaulted his daughter and driven to his apartment in time to answer his wife's call, but social workers insisted that he participate in a \"sex offender evaluation\" and \"take responsibility for the ... abuse.\" He said he wouldn't, and the El Paso County Department of Human Services had his parental rights terminated. Market was sentenced to 24 years for the crime in January."}

(Photo: EPS) \n  \n At Wells Fargo, two former executives are giving back and some of its once former employees are going back. \n  \n Wells Fargo said Monday it is clawing back $75.3 million in additional compensation from top former executives after an internal investigation of the bank's unauthorized accounts scandal found that the ex-leaders acted too slowly to investigate allegations of \"improper and unethical behavior\" in retail sales practices reaching back more than a decade. \n  \n The clawbacks are among the highlights of a report that said aggressive sales practices in the community banking division of Wells Fargo (WFC) for years distorted \"culture and management performance\" and \"created pressure on employees to sell unwanted or unneeded products to customers, and, in some cases, to open unauthorized accounts.\" \n  \n Also on Monday, Wells Fargo CEO Tim Sloan said that roughly1,000 employees who left the bank over the questionable sales procedures have been rehired. \n  \n Produced by independent board members of the bank, along with outside legal investigator, the report blasted Wells Fargo executives for failing to properly investigate the activity, cultivating an atmosphere of unrealistic expectations and hiding information about the extent of the crisis that ultimately led to millions of dollars in fines, plus lawsuits and additional investigations. \n  \n Wells Fargo board Chairman Stephen Sanger also acknowledged in a Monday conference call with reporters that board members \"could have pushed more forcefully to change leadership at the community bank.\" \n  \n While conceding he could not \"promise perfection\" in the efforts to regain trust from customers and regulators, Sloan said, \"I'm very confident we're on the right track.\" \n  \n He succeeded former CEO John Stumpf who resigned in October amid the scandal fallout. Stumpf will lose an additional $28 million in compensation beyond the $41 million and 2016 bonus he previously agreed to forgo, the report said. \n  \n The report also said the bank has canceled $47.3 million in additional stock options owed to Carrie Tolstedt, who previously headed the community banking division where the scandal erupted. Tolstedt, who previously lost $19 million in compensation, resigned in June. \n  \n The report's findings compound the San Francisco-based bank's crisis ahead of an April 25 annual meeting, where board members will stand for reelection. Stockholder advisory group Institutional Shareholder Services last week recommended that Wells Fargo shareholders vote against re-election for 12 of the company's 15 directors. Wells Fargo, which is scheduled to report quarterly earnings on Thursday, last week rejected the ISS recommendation. \n  \n Stumpf could not be reached for comment. However, Stumpf \"took responsibility\" for the improperly aggressive practices, and was \"totally cooperative\" with investigators, said Stuart Baskin, a Shearman & Sterling law firm partner involved in the bank's internal investigation. \n  \n Tolstedt declined to be interviewed on the advice of legal counsel, Baskin said. An attorney for Tolstedt, Enu Mainigi, in a formal statement said: \u201cWe strongly disagree with the report and its attempt to lay blame with Ms. Tolstedt. A full and fair examination of the facts will produce a different conclusion.\u201d \n  \n . \n  \n In all, Wells Fargo has acknowledged it may have opened up to 2.1 million accounts without customers' permission, along with unwanted credit cards and other financial products. The sales resulted from community bank managers pressing lower level bank employees to meet aggressive cross-selling targets that for years had made Wells Fargo the envy of the banking industry as the sales boosted the bank's bottom line. \n  \n But the sales practices also triggered numerous complaints from employees. Spurred in part by a December 2013 report on the practices by the Los Angeles Times, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Los Angeles City Attorney's office hit Wells Fargo with $185 million in fines and penalties last year. \n  \n At that time, Wells Fargo acknowledged that an estimated 5,300 employees had been fired as the magnitude of the sales excesses emerged. Many bank workers complained that they had been victimized for acceding to their bosses' sales demands. Tolstedt allegedly \"minimized and understated\" the problems in a 2015 report to the board, whose members only learned of the extent of the employee firings when regulators penalized Wells Fargo last year. \n  \n The bank took action after the penalties, launching its internal probe even as lawsuits mounted and new investigations by the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission got underway. \n  \n In addition to clawing back compensation from Stumpf and Tolstedt, the bank on Feb. 28 reduced compensation for eight current executives by $32 million, including eliminating 2016 bonuses and halving 2014 performance payouts. Although the internal report found that Sloan's \"direct involvement with sales practice issues was limited,\" his 2016 bonus and 2014 performance share payouts were reduced as part of the compensation cuts. \n  \n Related: \n  \n Additionally, Wells Fargo in January overhauled its compensation plan to remove financial incentives for aggressive sales of financial products to customers. Four present or former senior managers were fired the following month for their alleged involvement in the scandal. On Monday, Sanger said no additional firings or compensation clawbacks are planned. \n  \n As part of the investigation, Shearman & Sterling conducted 100 interviews with current and past workers, reviewed more than 35 million documents and coordinated with FTI Consulting to conduct forensic analysis of the bank's digital archives. \n  \n Wells has previously acknowledged that aggressive sales incentives and pressure prompted many frontline bank employees to open fake accounts to meet their goals. The report focused on that issue at length, blaming senior executives for tolerating \"low-quality accounts\" and failing to terminate the people responsible for them. \n  \n The internal report singled out Tolstedt for allegedly having been \"insular and defensive\" and having \"effectively challenged and resisted scrutiny from within and outside\" her community banking division. \n  \n Stumpf downplayed problems and failed to investigate the allegedly unethical activity when the possibility of problems came to his attention, according to the report. \"Stumpf's long-standing working relationship with Tolstedt influenced his judgment,\" leading him to stand by her even though \"he was aware that many doubted that she remained the right person\" to continue leading the division involved in the scandal, the report concluded. \n  \n When an internal investigation launched after the Los Angeles Times report revealed that about 1% of Wells Fargo employees were fired annually for sales integrity violations, Stumpf and Tolstedt \"received the figure positively,\" according to the bank's internal probe. \n  \n \"Stumpf was by nature an optimistic executive who refused to believe that the sales model was seriously impaired,\" the report said. \"His reaction invariably was that a few bad employees were causing issues, but that the overwhelming majority of employees were behaving properly. He was too late and too slow to call for inspection of or critical challenge to the basic business model.\" \n  \n While the report tried to close a chapter on major parts of the scandal, at least one issue remains. Shearman & Sterling investigators have not identified a pattern of retaliation against Wells Fargo employees who complained about the sales practices. But interviews and record-checking involving potential whistleblowers are continuing, the report said. \n  \n Follow USA TODAY reporters Nathan Bomey and Kevin McCoy on Twitter: @NathanBomey and @kmccoynyc \n  \n Read or Share this story: http://usat.ly/2oR4NZG ||||| Wells Fargo\u2019s board said on Monday that it would claw back an additional $75 million in compensation from the two executives on whom it pinned most of the blame for the company\u2019s scandal over fraudulent accounts: the bank\u2019s former chief executive, John G. Stumpf, and its former head of community banking, Carrie L. Tolstedt. \n  \n The clawbacks \u2014 or forced return of pay and stock grants \u2014 are the largest in banking history and among the largest in corporate America. A four-person committee of Wells Fargo\u2019s directors investigated the extensive fraud. \n  \n Wells Fargo\u2019s board said in a report issued on Monday that Mr. Stumpf had turned a blind eye to the fraudulent accounts being created under his nose and that Ms. Tolstedt, who ran the branch system, had focused obsessively on sales targets and withheld information from her boss and the board. \n  \n Wells Fargo\u2019s misdeeds, which came to light in September, have at least temporarily become a more widely recognized symbol of the bank than its signature stagecoach.

Meanwhile, former head of community banking Carrie Tolstedt, who resigned last June, will have $47.3 million in stock options pulled back, which piles onto the $19 million in compensation she'd already lost. The 113-page report put together by the Shearman & Sterling law firm found that due to a lack of any real central authority, executives like Tolstedt were given general autonomy to carry out the bank's sales tactics as they saw fit. Tolstedt in particular was found to have been behind much of what the Times calls the \"pressure-cooker climate\" at Wells Fargo, where some employees said they suffered health issues from \"unreasonable\" sales goals resulting in \"negative outcomes and improper behavior,\" per the report; one ex-banker said she even started drinking hand sanitizer to alleviate stress, a 2016 New York Times article revealed.

Richards/AFP/Getty Images. \n  \n I didn\u2019t make a lot of friends in the retail and publishing industries last week when I suggested that independent bookstores were the spawn of Satan. I argued that by making it cheap and easy for people to buy a lot of books, Amazon has been a boon for the book industry and \u201cliterary culture\u201d in a way that many bookstores can\u2019t match. \n  \n Many defenders of bookstores countered that by focusing on dollars and cents, I\u2019d missed the whole point of these establishments. Bookstores, it turns out, don\u2019t primarily exist to sell books\u2014instead, they\u2019re more like bars for readers. \u201cBookstores provide a space to meet friends, cruise for a date, and hide out when you have nothing to do on a Saturday night,\u201d Will Doig wrote at Salon. I suspect that many bookstore lovers agree with Doig, which is exactly why many of these shops are going out of business. Bars can survive because alcohol is an extremely profitable good. Books aren\u2019t\u2014so if you think of your favorite bookstore as a comfortable spot to find well-read potential mates rather than as a place for commerce, you\u2019re not helping its owner. \n  \n If you want bookstores to stick around, you should root for them to improve the way they sell stuff. Booksellers won\u2019t survive the Amazon onslaught by merely wagging their fingers at the retail giant. Their only hope is to match the commercial innovations Jeff Bezos has brought to shopping. Indeed, this applies to all retailers, not just bookstores. The Internet has revolutionized how we buy stuff, but the main beneficiaries of this revolution have been warehouse companies like Amazon rather than firms that maintain a physical presence in your neighborhood. But it doesn\u2019t have to be this way. This month, Amazon offered customers a discount to purchase stuff online while they were shopping at local establishments. It\u2019s time neighborhood retailers fought Kindle Fire with Kindle Fire. Indeed, tablets and smartphones could be store owners\u2019 best weapons against Jeff Bezos\u2014if only they\u2019d embrace them. \n  \n Advertisement \n  \n  \n  \n Take reviews and recommendations. Pretty much everyone uses the Web to research products before they purchase them. Amazon has turned this fact into a competitive advantage; by collecting and curating reviews for more than a decade\u2014and by creating an efficient recommendations engine based on millions of purchase decisions\u2014the firm has become the first place many people look for product information. This database, which Bezos\u2019 firm spent a huge amount of time and money to build, can just as easily be harvested by local retailers who invested nothing in its creation. If I ran a hardware store, I\u2019d put up a sign encouraging in-store research: \u201cLooking for a drill? People on Amazon love the Black & Decker 9099KC. We offer free Wi-Fi, so feel free to pull out your phone and browse online reviews!\u201d Bookstores could do the same thing: \u201cConfused about which baby sleep-training book is best? The No-Cry Sleep Solution gets nearly 5 stars on Amazon.\u201d \n  \n Of course, many stores are skittish about letting customers browse online. I often look up product reviews and prices when I\u2019m shopping, and I\u2019ve been busted several times by employees enforcing a strict no-barcode-scanning policy. I\u2019m always offended by such policies\u2014why shouldn\u2019t I research the best gas grill before I purchase it?\u2014but I can see the stores\u2019 rationale. Prices online tend to be cheaper, so if I\u2019m looking something up on my phone, there\u2019s a good chance I\u2019ll be attracted to the discount and walk out of the store empty-handed. Market research backs this up. One survey sponsored by Motorola found that in many retail categories\u2014especially consumer electronics, sporting goods, and books\u2014people use their phones primarily to compare prices; checking product reviews is usually a secondary use. \n  \n But fighting the price checkers is a futile endeavor. People think of their phones as constant companions, so you\u2019ll never convince them to keep them stuffed in their pockets. Plus, according to the same Motorola study, price isn\u2019t always the primary reason that people decide to walk out without buying anything. Respondents said that the main reason they leave bookstores \u201cwithout the item that you wanted\u201d is that the store didn\u2019t have the book they came looking for. That was true at toy stores, furniture shops, and drugstores, too. Other popular reasons for leaving a store without buying stuff? The customer couldn\u2019t find the item, thought the lines were too long, or found the staff unable to answer questions. \n  \n Smartphones could help stores address each of these problems. AisleBuyer, a startup based in Boston, has created a way for local stores to make their own smartphone apps. Among other features, these custom apps let customers make purchases from their phones\u2014when you\u2019re ready to buy that book, just press a button and walk out the door. AisleBuyer also collects and mines sales data from many of its clients, which means that over time, it will be able to build the sort of recommendations engine that powers Amazon. If your local record store uses an AisleBuyer app, then, it might suggest\u2014based on your previous purchases\u2014that you come in to get the new Adele album. Because the app tracks how often you\u2019ve bought stuff, the store could even give you a discount for loyalty. \n  \n Apple could also serve as a model for other retailers. Just before Thanksgiving, the company released an updated version of its retail app, which you can fire up when you enter an Apple Store. In addition to letting you buy products from your phone and pick up stuff you\u2019ve purchased online, the app connects you to sales staff who can answer your questions. Say you go to an Apple Store to buy a laptop. You look at the various MacBooks, and you narrow your choice down to the 11- and 13-inch MacBook Air. Which should you buy? Just pull out your app and hit Get Help. This alerts an employee, who sees a map of the store on his iPod Touch; your location is highlighted on his map. So he walks over to make the sale. Anyone who\u2019s ever tried to wrangle help in a busy electronics store\u2014or a home improvement shop, a shoe store, a bookstore, anywhere\u2014will recognize that this is a killer feature. ||||| Have you heard about nootropics?

She was unaware of the film's anti-Muslim content and that the pages of the script she received had no mention of the prophet Muhammad, according to her complaint. \n  \n The lawsuit states Garcia responded to an ad and thought she was appearing in an ancient Egyptian adventure film.

{"inputs": "Article:\nAfter the 2016 election, Mark Zuckerberg went on a \u201clistening tour\u201d while Sheryl Sandberg reportedly orchestrated an oppo campaign against Facebook\u2019s critics. Photo illustration by Slate. Photos by Josh Edelson/AFP/Getty Images and Scott Eisen/Getty Images. \n  \n The leaders of Facebook can no longer pretend they are special people running a special company. Facebook is now just another normal sleazy American company run by normal sleazy executives, engaged in normal sleazy lobbying and corporate propaganda. \n  \n Thanks to some deep reporting by a team of New York Times reporters, we now know that CEO Mark Zuckerberg spent the year after the 2016 presidential election largely checked out and clueless about the monster he had created. And we know that COO Sheryl Sandberg, in the face of growing scrutiny of the company, was so desperate to repair the leak in the price of Facebook stock that she went into cahoots with a number of suspect figures across American politics\u2014including a right-wing opposition research shop dabbling in the PR dark arts as well as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who ran interference for the company within his party. \n  \n Over the past three years, Facebook has been outed for abusing the trust of its users, sharing personal data with third parties like Cambridge Analytica, unwittingly hosting Russian-backed propaganda intended to undermine American democracy, amplifying calls for religious and ethnic violence in places like Sri Lanka and Myanmar, and promoting violent authoritarian and nationalist leaders like Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines and Narendra Modi in India. As these stories piled up and public trust eroded, the Times reports, Zuckerberg consistently exempted himself from crucial discussions with the Facebook security team and acted generally baffled that anyone would question his baby. After all, didn\u2019t he just want, in his words, to \u201cbring the world closer together?\u201d \n  \n The Times report makes clear that Zuckerberg and Sandberg played no-cop-bad-cop while troubles rolled across their screens and into their board meetings. \n  \n Sandberg, a veteran of the Clinton administration and a thoroughly connected member of America\u2019s corporate and cultural elite, called in all the favors she could and appealed to some of the baser instincts of potential allies. Crucially, Sandberg brought on Republican lobbyists like Joel Kaplan, last seen lending public support to his old friend, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, during his fraught confirmation hearings. \n  \n Kaplan reportedly led the charge internally to water down Facebook reports about the breadth of Russian attacks on American democracy for fear of angering President Donald Trump and conservative power brokers. Sandberg consistently backed Kaplan, denying the American public a full account of a hostile foreign power\u2019s attempts to influence an election and, just as important, the fundamental vulnerability of Facebook to being hijacked by almost any small but determined force. \n  \n Sandberg also reportedly unleashed a propaganda campaign that leveraged the right-wing meme machine\u2014the same machine that so deeply pollutes Facebook with misinformation and disinformation about life in America. Perhaps the most disturbing allegation in the Times report is that Facebook\u2019s right-wing agents tried to link some high-profile Facebook critics to financier George Soros. Given that Soros is the go-to boogeyman in many recent anti-Semitic campaigns, we should be shocked that Facebook stooped so low. All the while boasting of transparency and concern for the health of our communities, Facebook clandestinely played with the very villains who regularly warp and pollute our culture and politics. \n  \n After months of stalling and dodging and under intense pressure from Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the ranking minority member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Facebook finally revealed in late October 2017 that Russian propaganda had reached at least 126 million American Facebook users. Because of Facebook\u2019s propensity to algorithmically amplify content that generates strong emotions, University of Pennsylvania professor Kathleen Hall Jamieson concludes in her new book Cyberwar that Russian activity in the 2016 election \u201cnot only infected the news agenda but also tilted the balance of discourse in battleground states against the Democratic Party nominee.\u201d \n  \n Warner, one of the few in this drama who comes off as more concerned about the fate of the republic than the prospect of Facebook campaign contributions, has been such a strong and consistent interrogator of Facebook that his party leader, Schumer, felt compelled to defend his old friend Sandberg. (As the Times also points out, Schumer\u2019s daughter is a marketing director at Facebook.) The Times reports that he told Warner to back off from his scrutiny of Facebook and that \u201cMr. Warner should be looking for ways to work with Facebook, Mr. Schumer advised, not harm it.\u201d \n  \n Schumer has always been a transactional politician. But Facebook has not always been just a regular, sleazy company. It\u2019s become one lately, largely as a result of the rush of trouble that has rendered Zuckerberg verbally stunned and Sandberg morally stunted. \n  \n For most of its history, Facebook made too much money to care about money and had too strong a reputation to care about its reputation. It was golden. Just as Zuckerberg and Sandberg graced the covers of magazines, Facebook scaled the peaks of the stock market and the public imagination. \n  \n What explains the cravenness of Facebook\u2019s leadership now? They must realize, as social media scholars have been warning for many years, that Facebook is vulnerable by design. All of the scandals and crises the company has facilitated in recent years are examples of Facebook working as it was supposed to. \n  \n The three features that make Facebook Facebook also make it the ideal platform for working on behalf of dangerous and violent forces. The first is scale. Facebook gathers posts from more than 2.2 billion people in more than 100 languages. The second is algorithmic amplification. Facebook promotes extreme content like hate speech and conspiracy theories over thoughtful, balanced, deliberate work. And the third is the best advertising system ever created. Facebook can put an ad in front of exactly the type of person who might respond to a sales pitch or a call to political action and ignore those who might not. \n  \n Zuckerberg and Sandberg can\u2019t fix Facebook because to fix Facebook is to scrap one or more of these essential attributes. The problem with Facebook is Facebook. \n  \n We are stuck in the world Facebook made. It was a terrible idea in the first place, but as long as advertisers, authoritarians, and Chuck Schumer protect it, Facebook will face little significant pressure in most of the world. All Zuckerberg and Sandberg need to do is ride out this moment, boast about making a good effort to clean the thing up, and keep those campaign contributions flowing. Facebook will be just fine. Democracy will not. ||||| Three years ago, Mr. Zuckerberg, who founded Facebook in 2004 while attending Harvard, was celebrated for the company\u2019s extraordinary success. Ms. Sandberg, a former Clinton administration official and Google veteran, had become a feminist icon with the publication of her empowerment manifesto, \u201cLean In,\u201d in 2013. \n  \n Like other technology executives, Mr. Zuckerberg and Ms. Sandberg cast their company as a force for social good. Facebook\u2019s lofty aims were emblazoned even on securities filings: \u201cOur mission is to make the world more open and connected.\u201d \n  \n But as Facebook grew, so did the hate speech, bullying and other toxic content on the platform. When researchers and activists in Myanmar, India, Germany and elsewhere warned that Facebook had become an instrument of government propaganda and ethnic cleansing, the company largely ignored them. Facebook had positioned itself as a platform, not a publisher. Taking responsibility for what users posted, or acting to censor it, was expensive and complicated. Many Facebook executives worried that any such efforts would backfire. \n  \n Then Donald J. Trump ran for president. He described Muslim immigrants and refugees as a danger to America, and in December 2015 posted a statement on Facebook calling for a \u201ctotal and complete shutdown\u201d on Muslims entering the United States. Mr. Trump\u2019s call to arms \u2014 widely condemned by Democrats and some prominent Republicans \u2014 was shared more than 15,000 times on Facebook, an illustration of the site\u2019s power to spread racist sentiment. \n  \n Mr. Zuckerberg, who had helped found a nonprofit dedicated to immigration reform, was appalled, said employees who spoke to him or were familiar with the conversation. He asked Ms. Sandberg and other executives if Mr. Trump had violated Facebook\u2019s terms of service. \n  \n The question was unusual. Mr. Zuckerberg typically focused on broader technology issues; politics was Ms. Sandberg\u2019s domain. In 2010, Ms. Sandberg, a Democrat, had recruited a friend and fellow Clinton alum, Marne Levine, as Facebook\u2019s chief Washington representative. A year later, after Republicans seized control of the House, Ms. Sandberg installed another friend, a well-connected Republican: Joel Kaplan, who had attended Harvard with Ms. Sandberg and later served in the George W. Bush administration. \n  \n Some at Facebook viewed Mr. Trump\u2019s 2015 attack on Muslims as an opportunity to finally take a stand against the hate speech coursing through its platform. But Ms. Sandberg, who was edging back to work after the death of her husband several months earlier, delegated the matter to Mr. Schrage and Monika Bickert, a former prosecutor whom Ms. Sandberg had recruited as the company\u2019s head of global policy management. Ms. Sandberg also turned to the Washington office \u2014 particularly to Mr. Kaplan, said people who participated in or were briefed on the discussions. |||||Summary:", "targets": "\u2013 A New York Times investigative story about Facebook presents a brutal picture of how Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg handled the controversy over Russian hacking in the 2016 election. The Times uses three words to sum up company strategy: \"delay, deny, and deflect.\" The story, based on interviews with more than 50 people, makes the case that Zuckerberg and Sandberg \"ignored warning signs\" that Russians were exploiting the platform, \"then sought to conceal them from public view.\" Distracted by personal projects and issues, the pair delegated to subordinates key decisions on security and privacy. And when the scope of the problem became clear, Sandberg then oversaw an aggressive lobbying campaign to not only undermine its critics but to shift public anger toward rivals such as Google, according to the story. One key part of that campaign was to have a GOP opposition-research firm link vocal anti-Facebook critics to liberal financier George Soros. Another was to depict the Facebook criticism as anti-Semitic. The story doesn't present a flattering view of Sen. Chuck Schumer, either, asserting that he did his best to blunt criticism of Facebook on Capitol Hill. At one point, he ordered Sen. Mark Warner to back off his repeated criticism of the company. Schumer received more money from Facebook employees than any other member of Congress in 2016, and his daughter is a marketing manager there. One early reaction to the piece comes from Siva Vaidhyanathan at Slate: \"Facebook is now just another normal sleazy American company run by normal sleazy executives, engaged in normal sleazy lobbying and corporate propaganda.\" (Read the full Times story here.)"}

They also state that \"virtually all client investments\" were deposited with Chase. \n  \n As part of the deal, the bank has agreed to a deferred-prosecution agreement, which means the company can avoid criminal charges as long as it adheres to specific legal requirements for two years.

The court sits for a new portrait shortly after swearing in a new member. Time \n  \n President Trump added five new names to his list of potential Supreme Court nominees on Friday. (Photo: Eric Thayer, Getty Images) \n  \n WASHINGTON \u2013 President Trump added five names Friday to his list of potential Supreme Court justices in a move that precedes the possible, but still unannounced, retirement of Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy. \n  \n The biggest new name was that of Brett Kavanaugh, a judge on the powerful U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Many Supreme Court justices have come from that circuit, and Kavanaugh tops the list of judges most often named as Trump's next pick. \n  \n Like Justice Neil Gorsuch of Colorado, who was confirmed to the high court in April, Kavanaugh is a conservative who once clerked for the more moderate Kennedy. When Trump selected Gorsuch for the late Justice Antonin Scalia's empty seat, it was viewed as a move that might entice Kennedy, 81, to step down. \n  \n \"The president remains deeply committed to identifying and selecting outstanding jurists in the mold of Justice Gorsuch,\" the White House said in a statement. \"These additions, like those on the original list released more than a year ago, were selected with input from respected conservative leaders.\" \n  \n The White House released the list on the second day of the conservative Federalist Society's annual meeting in the nation's capital, a confab that attracts many of the nation's leading conservative legal thinkers. It appeared to come out of the blue; no Supreme Court vacancies are known to be imminent. \n  \n \u201cThere\u2019s no inkling of any vacancy, but the fact of the matter is that you would be foolish to wait for one,\u201d said Leonard Leo, executive vice president of the Federalist Society and a top adviser to the White House on judicial nominations. \"You never know when there will be a vacancy.\u201d \n  \n The move also was a not-so-subtle signal to Trump\u2019s core supporters that the president may still have the ability to deliver on his promise to nominate conservative justices. It comes amid ongoing confirmation battles over his lower court nominees. \n  \n Trump has won confirmation of eight appellate judges in his first year, more than any president since Richard Nixon, despite nearly unanimous opposition from Democrats. \n  \n Another possible motive: Democrats have increased their likelihood of picking up a Senate seat in Alabama, where Republican Roy Moore is embroiled in a sexual harassment controversy. Republicans now have 52 votes in the Senate and would need at least 50 to confirm a new justice, with the tie-breaking vote of Vice President Pence. \n  \n The other new names on Trump's list are Amy Coney Barrett, a former Notre Dame law professor just confirmed last month to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit; Kevin Newsom, confirmed in August to a seat on the 11th Circuit court of appeals; Georgia Supreme Court Justice Britt Grant, a former state solicitor general; and Oklahoma Supreme Court Justice Patrick Wyrick, also a former state solicitor general. \n  \n Aside from Kavanaugh, Barrett was the most notable addition to Trump's original list of 20 judges and one U.S. senator, Mike Lee. She drew sharp questions about her Catholic faith from Democrats during her confirmation hearings, prompting Republicans to complain about \"Catholic bigotry.\" \n  \n Kavanaugh was left off the original list of 21 in part because his jurisdiction is Washington, D.C., and Trump was elected as an outsider. When Trump's first two lists were released last year, totaling 21 names, they tilted heavily toward judges from \"red\" states, including many state Supreme Court judges with no federal court experience. \n  \n One name that remained missing from the president's new list of 25 is former U.S. solicitor general Paul Clement, another favorite of legal conservatives who worked in George W. Bush's administration and has been mentioned for years as a logical Supreme Court nominee for a Republican president. \n  \n Trump's choices won instant acclaim from conservatives. \n  \n \"These men and women have spent years in the trenches of state and federal government fighting for the Constitution and the rule of law,\" said Carrie Severino, general counsel at the Judicial Crisis Network. \"They represent a diverse range of backgrounds, including both state and federal judges, three who were former state solicitors general with first-hand experience protecting our constitutional balance of powers.\u201d \n  \n Liberals were not impressed. \n  \n \"It\u2019s obvious that any of these nominees, if they replaced Justice Kennedy on the Supreme Court, would demolish large portions of his legacy,\" said Marge Baker, executive vice president of People for the American Way. \"Trump\u2019s nominees all fit the same pattern: narrow-minded elitists who protect corporations and the wealthy over the rights of all Americans.\" \n  \n Read or Share this story: https://usat.ly/2irFhVX ||||| The White House announced Friday that President Trump has added five judges to his running list of possible Supreme Court nominees, touting Trump's successful nomination of conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch to the bench. \n  \n The updated list of 25 judges includes Judge Amy Coney Barrett from the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, a former clerk for the late Justice Antonin Scalia. \n  \n Barrett, a vocal opponent of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision who has referred to it as an \"erroneous decision,\" was confirmed to her post by the Senate in October. \n  \n Trump also added Judge Brett Kavanaugh of the appeals court for the District of Columbia, the nation's second most powerful court, who clerked for Justice Anthony Kennedy. \n  \n Kavanaugh has been rumored before as a possible Republican nominee for the high court. \n  \n ADVERTISEMENT \n  \n The list includes two state Supreme Court justices: Britt Grant of Georgia and Patrick Wyrick of Oklahoma. Grant previously clerked for Kavanaugh at the D.C. Appeals Court. \n  \n Former Alabama Solicitor General Kevin Newsom is another recently confirmed judge on the list. He currently serves as the judge for the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. \n  \n Carrie Severino, chief counsel and policy director for the conservative Judicial Crisis Network, was quick to praise Trump for the additions, calling the candidates the \"best and brightest judges in the nation.\" \n  \n \u201cThese men and women have spent years in the trenches of state and federal government fighting for the Constitution and the rule of law,\" she said. \n  \n \"They represent a diverse range of backgrounds, including both state and federal judges, three who were former state solicitors general with first-hand experience protecting our constitutional balance of powers,\u201d she said. \n  \n The Judicial Crisis Network spent $10 million on an ad campaign to get Trump's first Supreme Court appointee, Gorsuch, confirmed to the bench. \n  \n Trump's update of the list comes after Alabama Gov.

Now, a new report exposes the back-channel diplomacy between Facebook and producers of 'The Social Network,' and the desire of execs at the hugely popular website to ignore the movie when it opens Oct. 1. But can they? \n  \n Filed under: Movie News \n  \n In a New York Times article published this weekend, 'Social Network' producer Scott Rudin talks about his largely futile attempts to involve Facebook, or at least obtain their tacit blessing on the film -- which depicts Zuckerberg as an ambitious player and willing betrayer of his cohorts, while also capturing the enormous achievement of his vision. Now 26, Zuckerberg declined to comment for the article.With no apologies, Rudin says Zuckerberg is \"simultaneously a builder and a destroyer.\" He adds, \"It's a big subject. It's a big American subject.\" (Zuckerberg doesn't seem to think it is. He told ABC's Diane Sawyer in July, \"The real story is actually probably pretty boring....We just sat at our computers for six years and coded.\")And what's Sorkin's take on his hero/antihero? The script leaked online clearly portrays Zuckerberg as a 19-year-old brainiac with nothing more than a motivation to be accepted socially, and the tech savvy to make it happen. Much of the story is reportedly based on depositions in cases (settled by Zuckerberg and his company's attorneys) that were filed in efforts to vie for a stake in Facebook.According to the Times, David Kirkpatrick, author of 'The Facebook Effect' (which is not source material for 'The Social Network'), insists that too many details in the movie are fictional and \"horrifically unfair.\" And Chris Hughes, a Facebook cofounder who left the company three years ago, concurs: \"All of a sudden Mark becomes this person who created Facebook to get girls or to gain power....That's not what was going on. It was a little more boring and quotidian than that.\"Rudin says that during production, he reached out to show the script and a cut of the film to top Facebook execs, who he says \"saw the movie a while ago, and they do not like it.\" Rudin admits the filmmakers did accomodate small requests for changes to the script, but says, \"We made exactly the movie we wanted to make.\"In recent weeks, Zuckerberg -- considered the youngest billionaire in the world -- has been consistently reluctant to even acknowledge 'The Social Network,' dismissing it as \"a distraction\" and insisting, \"The movie is fiction.\"Obviously this goes without saying, but anyone wanting to learn more about 'The Social Network' can always visit...its Facebook page ||||| Lloyd Grove talks to The Social Network writer about empathizing with Mark Zuckerberg\u2014and the art of creating a new personality from scratch. Plus, View Our Complete Coverage of The Social Network \n  \n In some ways, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg couldn\u2019t have had a more empathetic interpreter of his life for Hollywood than Aaron Sorkin, the acclaimed screenwriter of The Social Network. \n  \n \u201cHere\u2019s how I empathize with Mark,\u201d Sorkin tells me at New York\u2019s Harvard Club (Zuckerberg is a Harvard dropout), where the Columbia Pictures promotional machine has him being charming and witty in 15-minute increments to a conveyer belt of press junketeers. \u201cI watch the show Entourage and I think, \u2018Wow, that looks really cool. I wish I could be part of that life.\u2019 Not only am I part of that life, I\u2019m on Entourage playing myself. And I still feel like I\u2019m on the outside looking in! I empathize with Mark for another reason. He\u2019s got right now\u2014frankly, because of me\u2014the whole world wondering if he\u2019s an asshole, OK? He\u2019s got to pick up the paper every day and see that.\u201d And yet: \u201cThe reaction of most people who see the movie is they want to give him a hug.\u201d \n  \n The movie\u2014directed by David Fincher, starring Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, and Justin Timberlake, and based on Ben Mezrich\u2019s partly fictionalized book The Accidental Billionaires and Sorkin\u2019s own research, including talks with some of the key players\u2014seems a good bet for big box-office and Oscar nominations. And even the media-shy Zuckerberg, who has made no secret of the distress it has caused him, seems resigned to being turned into grist for mass entertainment. \n  \n \u201cIt\u2019s a movie\u2014it\u2019s fun,\u201d he said last week during an Oprah Winfrey Show appearance in which he announced a $100 million grant to the Newark, New Jersey, public school system. It was a spectacular bit of largesse that many suspect was timed to deflect attention from his less-than-appealing depiction in The Social Network. \u201cA lot of it is fiction. Even the filmmakers will say that. They\u2019re trying to build a good story,\u201d Zuckerberg added. \u201cThis is my life\u2014so I know it\u2019s not that dramatic.\u201d \n  \n Although two decades and billions of dollars separate the 49-year-old Sorkin from the 26-year-old Zuckerberg (net worth: $6.9 billion), both men are brilliant, intense, misunderstood, envied, and attacked. Both have been accused of being arrogant and controlling; both have had to defend themselves against complaints of taking credit for other people\u2019s ideas; and both have made a deep footprint on the popular culture. \n  \n And\u2014if one accepts Sorkin\u2019s vivid version of Zuckerberg as compellingly portrayed by Eisenberg in this critically admired film, opening October 1\u2014both are motivated by a healthy dose of insecurity and anger. \n  \n  \n  \n It\u2019s debatable whether the real-life Zuckerberg, who presents himself as calm and confident, resembles the celluloid version. \n  \n But there\u2019s little doubt that Sorkin\u2014whose impressive writing credits include such commercial and critical successes as A Few Good Men, both the play and the film, The American President, and television\u2019s The West Wing\u2014is in touch with his inner misanthrope. \n  \n When I ask if he feels any kinship with the much-sued Zuckerberg because of his own experiences as an Emmy-winning writer fending off claims from less successful detractors (especially since Zuckerberg's defendant status in various intellectual property lawsuits form the movie\u2019s dramatic spine), Sorkin seethes. \n  \n \u201cThis absolutely infuriates me,\u201d he says. After a studio publicist protests my line of questioning, the interview is halted. It is left to Sorkin to salvage the train wreck a few minutes later, taking me by the arm and flashing a grin as he suggests we resume the interview. \u201cLet\u2019s be friends,\u201d he says\u2014and then he thoughtfully answers the question that originally set him off. ||||| Days before The Social Network hits theaters, critics are saying to forget the Oscar race\u2014David Fincher\u2019s Facebook movie has already won.

This brilliantly entertaining and emotionally wrenching movie is built around a melancholy paradox: in 2003, Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg), a nineteen-year-old Harvard sophomore, invents Facebook and eventually creates a five-hundred-million-strong network of \u201cfriends,\u201d but Zuckerberg is so egotistical, work-obsessed, and withdrawn that he can\u2019t stay close to anyone; he blows off his only real pal, Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield), a fellow Jewish student at Harvard, who helps him launch the site. The movie is not a conventionally priggish tale of youthful innocence corrupted by riches; nor is it merely a sarcastic arrow shot into the heart of a poor little rich boy. Both themes are there, but the dramatic development of the material pushes beyond simplicities, and the portrait of Zuckerberg is many-sided and ambiguous; no two viewers will see him in quite the same way. The debate about the movie\u2019s accuracy has already begun, but Fincher and Sorkin, selecting from known facts and then freely interpreting them, have created a work of art. Accuracy is now a secondary issue. In this extraordinary collaboration, the portrait of Zuckerberg, I would guess, was produced by a happy tension, even an opposition, between the two men\u2014a tug-of-war between Fincher\u2019s gleeful appreciation of an outsider who overturns the social order and Sorkin\u2019s old-fashioned, humanist distaste for electronic friend-making and a world of virtual emotions. The result is a movie that is absolutely emblematic of its time and place. \u201cThe Social Network\u201d is shrewdly perceptive about such things as class, manners, ethics, and the emptying out of self that accompanies a genius\u2019s absorption in his work. It has the hard-charging excitement of a very recent revolution, the surge and sweep of big money moving fast and chewing people up in its wake. \n  \n We know from \u201cThe West Wing\u201d that Sorkin can write the smartest and swiftest dialogue since Ben Hecht and Preston Sturges. His adrenaline-pumped men and women anticipate one another\u2019s best shots; they fill out or overturn one another\u2019s half-finished sentences, answering what\u2019s implied rather than simply what\u2019s said. Sorkin\u2019s script for \u201cThe Social Network\u201d is his best work yet\u2014incisive and witty from moment to moment but expansive over all as a picture of college social life, hipster business enterprise, friendship, and rivalry. But Sorkin\u2019s particular skills in \u201cThe Social Network\u201d are familiar. The unexpected element is David Fincher\u2019s work. The director of \u201cFight Club,\u201d \u201cZodiac,\u201d and \u201cThe Curious Case of Benjamin Button\u201d is a master of sullen menace, convulsive violence; he loves creating an aura of the magical and the uncanny. Yet he treats Sorkin\u2019s real-world situations with extreme delicacy and precision. Fincher has always been obsessed with outsiders and rebels, but now, in mid-career, he has transferred that obsession into a subtler, more telling form, with both comic and tragic implications. \n  \n \u201cThe Social Network\u201d draws on a 2009 book, \u201cThe Accidental Billionaires,\u201d by Ben Mezrich. Mezrich also went to Harvard, and in both the book and the movie the Harvard lore is laid on a little thick. The eager suburban co-eds trucked in for parties, the rabbity competitiveness and status-seeking among the men, the terrific excitement of being \u201cpunched\u201d for one of the all-male \u201cfinal clubs\u201d (off-campus social sites for the chosen \u00e9lite)\u2014to outsiders, all this frenzied self-importance seems slightly mad. Yet the filmmakers don\u2019t satirize Harvard, and you can see why: they needed to re-create the pressures and the social stratifications that led to Zuckerberg\u2019s revolt. Fincher has often worked within a frantic boys\u2019 world\u2014by way of having fun in \u201cFight Club,\u201d guys literally punch one another, to a pulp\u2014but here the violence is emotional, not physical. Watching Zuckerberg and his friends toss beer-bottle caps and ideas at one another in the dorm, we\u2019re meant to think that they really are the brightest (and perhaps the most obnoxious) kids in the country. In the opening scene, Zuckerberg tells his lovely and intelligent girlfriend, Erica (Rooney Mara), that he could introduce her, a mere Boston University student, to important people if he gets into one of the clubs. He\u2019s prickly, overprecise, condescending; he keeps wrong-footing her and then scolding her for not keeping up. Yet, even as he acts like a jerk, you feel for him, because at some level he wants Erica, and the harder he tries to impress her the faster he drives her away. Sorkin created an emotionally stunted, closed-off young man, and Fincher pulled something touching out of Jesse Eisenberg. Slender, with curly light-brown hair and dark-blue eyes, Eisenberg pauses, stares, then rushes ahead, talking in bristling clumps, like a computer spilling bytes. The self-assurance he gives Zuckerberg is audacious and funny. It\u2019s also breathtakingly hostile. Yet, after many of Zuckerberg\u2019s haughtiest riffs, a tiny impulse of regret quivers across his lips. \n  \n As Zuckerberg and his friends lay siege to computers in marathon sessions\u2014the pace is giddy, Beck\u2019s-enhanced\u2014they turn women into objects, even prey. In the end, Facebook becomes gender neutral, but the movie is sparked by a bitterly comic irony: a worldwide social revolution, capable of rattling authoritarian governments, began with nothing more urgent than the desire of two middle-class Jewish boys to be considered cool at college and meet girls without having to endure the humiliation of campus mixers. By focussing on the moment of creation, Fincher and Sorkin are getting at something new. From the first scene to the last, \u201cThe Social Network\u201d hints at a psychological shift produced by the Information Age, a new impersonality that affects almost everyone. After all, Facebook, like Zuckerberg, is a paradox: a Web site that celebrates the aura of intimacy while providing the relief of distance, substituting bodiless sharing and the thrills of self-created celebrityhood for close encounters of the first kind.

Schnatter declined to comment. The Papa John\u2019s board declined to comment, according to spokesman Peter Collins. \n  \n Papa John\u2019s shares fell 1 percent on Tuesday to $50.88 at 9:35 a.m. in New York.

On Sunday, a special committee of independent directors ordered the termination of a so-called founder\u2019s agreement that designated Schnatter as the brand\u2019s face and voice. Papa John\u2019s has requested he cease media appearances on behalf of the firm and evicted him from the headquarters, according to a company statement. \n  \n Schnatter, 56, stepped down as chairman at the request of the board on July 11 after a Forbes report that he used a racial slur and graphic descriptions of violence against minorities in a conversation with the company\u2019s former media agency, Laundry Service. That was just months after he exited the chief executive officer job over critical comments about the National Football League\u2019s national-anthem controversy. The restaurant chain said last week that it plans to appoint a replacement chairman. \n  \n Schnatter admitted to using the slur but said he was taken out of context. \u201cRegardless of the context, I apologize. Simply stated, racism has no place in our society,\u201d he said, according to a statement emailed last Wednesday. \n  \n A spokeswoman for Wasserman, the talent-management agency that owns Laundry Service, declined to comment. \n  \n Papa John\u2019s said Friday that Schnatter will no longer be featured in any of the company\u2019s advertising or marketing materials. The New York Yankees said the same day that it was suspending its relationship with the firm. The University of Louisville announced that the school will change the name of its football stadium from Papa John\u2019s Cardinal Stadium to Cardinal Stadium. \n  \n Schnatter is still on the company\u2019s board of directors and is its largest shareholder, and the board can\u2019t just remove him, according to people familiar with the matter. Shareholders would have to take that step at the next annual meeting, which is typically held in May. Schnatter, meanwhile, still owns almost 30 percent of the company, which could complicate a potential vote on his ouster. \n  \n Schnatter\u2019s tied to the company in other ways, too. His wife, Annette Schnatter, is a Papa John\u2019s franchisee with one restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky, according to the company\u2019s latest proxy statement.

Korea calls North missile tests calculated provocation \n  \n (AFP) \u2013 14 hours ago \n  \n Seoul \u2014 South Korea on Friday labelled North Korea's test firing of four short-range missiles a calculated, provocative act timed to coincide with South-US joint military exercises. \n  \n North Korea test-fired the missiles into the Sea of Japan on Thursday, three days after the joint drills kicked off in the face of vocal opposition from Pyongyang. \n  \n \"With the exercises underway, we see the firings as a calculated, provocative act,\" defence ministry spokesman Kim Min-Seok told journalists. \n  \n He noted that the launches also came days after an incursion by a North Korean patrol boat across the disputed Yellow Sea border that has been the scene of brief but bloody naval clashes in the past. \n  \n Kim said the tests were of Scud-type missiles at the longer edge of the short-range spectrum, with an estimated reach of 300-800 kilometres (185-500 miles) -- capable of striking any target in the South. \n  \n \"If the North re-engineers Scuds or tests them, we always undertake a serious analysis to consider counter-measures,\" he said. \n  \n Kim stressed that the annual military drills with the United States would continue as planned. \n  \n In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki urged North Korea \"to exercise restraint and take steps to improve its relations with its neighbours\". \n  \n But Pentagon spokesman Colonel Steven Warren acknowledged that such short-range tests did not put the North in breach of international resolutions. \n  \n \"We view this as an unannounced weapons test that we see somewhat regularly,\" he told reporters in Washington. \n  \n It is not unusual for North Korea to carry out such tests and observers said they were unlikely to trigger a significant rise in military tensions. \n  \n Despite the start of the South Korea-US drills on Monday, which the North routinely condemns as rehearsals for invasion, relations between Seoul and Pyongyang are currently enjoying something of a thaw. \n  \n This year's drills overlapped with the end of the first reunion for more than three years of families divided by the Korean War -- an event that has raised hopes of greater cross-border cooperation. \n  \n Pyongyang had initially insisted that the joint exercises be postponed until after the reunions finished on Tuesday.

The FDA has approved Xiaflex, a drug that targets Peyronie's disease by reducing the build-up of a protein that creates scar tissue in the penis, the LA Times reports. That scar tissue can cause the penis to curve by 30 degrees or more when erect, making sex impossible. \"It\u2019s a soul-destroying disease,\" says a plumber in Colorado Springs who started an association for Peyronie's disease advocates, reports the New York Times.

(Until now, doctors have used less-expensive treatments like a generic blood-pressure drug.) So far, Xiaflex is only available in a restricted program because it's a little dangerous: Health care providers must carefully \"model\" the injected penis, which may experience adverse reactions such as ruptured penile tissue.

{"inputs": "\u2013 A \"music video\" filmed at South Carolina's Kershaw Correctional Institution made inmates famous on the Internet last year. They're now paying the price, big time. Public documents obtained by the Electronic Frontier Foundation show seven inmates were handed a combined 20 years in solitary confinement for the clip, which shows inmates rapping, beatboxing, and dancing in a cell. Filmed in 2014 and posted to WorldStarHipHop.com, the video became a key part of their sentencing, as prison officials pointed out the use of gang signs, a cellphone to film the clip, and social media to make it public, the New York Daily News reports. The inmates also lost visitation hours and other privileges. \"South Carolina becomes the poster child for abuse of solitary confinement\" with the move, says Dave Maass, an investigative researcher with the EEF. The digital rights group has set its sights on the state before: Back in February, the EFF found the South Carolina Department of Corrections doled out stints in solitary confinement to hundreds of inmates caught using Facebook\u2014including 37 years to an inmate who posted to the site 38 times, though such punishments are often shortened, per Buzzfeed. The SCDC's director said severe punishments for the use of contraband cellphones and social media were warranted, noting a corrections officer \"was shot six times in his home due to an attempted contract killing via a contraband cellphone.\" Still, the SCDC in February revised its policy, saying it wouldn't let an inmate stay in solitary for more than 60 days. In explaining the length of the latest punishments, a rep says they are justified because the inmates \"are gang members and a continued threat to safety.\" (Here's how solitary confinement breaks the mind.)\n\nExpand this summary.", "targets": "Last year, the South Carolina Department of Corrections (SCDC) launched an investigation after the group of inmates released a rap video that made its way to WorldStarHipHop: \n  \n The investigation into the rap video and the punishment were revealed in public records obtained by Dave Maass, an investigative researcher at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. \n  \n Seven inmates in a South Carolina prison were punished with a combined total of nearly 20 years of solitary confinement \u2014 for making a rap music video and posting it on WorldStar. \n  \n Records show five of the inmates received 180 days in \"disciplinary detention,\" while two others received punishments of 270 and 360 days, for \"creating or assisting with a social media site.\" \n  \n But additional punishments for \"security threat group\" (gang-related) materials and possessing a contraband cell phone added up to a combined 7,150 days, or 19.75 years, in solitary confinement for the inmates. \n  \n The inmates also lost years' worth of canteen, phone, and visitation privileges, as well as good time accrued. \n  \n  \n  \n The disciplinary records note that \"video from www.worldstarhiphop.com was used as evidence.\" \n  \n \"When the video went viral the first time, viewers caught a fleeting glimpse of the creative energy that exists behind bars,\" Maass told BuzzFeed News. \"Now that we know how dearly each inmate paid for their participation, the video takes on all new significance. People in this country are still sacrificing their freedom and well-being for expression.\" \n  \n The South Carolina Department of Corrections (SCDC) came under fire earlier this year after the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit digital rights group, obtained public records showing that corrections officials punished inmates with dozens of years in solitary confinement for using Facebook and other social media. \n  \n  \n  \n For example, Tyheem Henry received 13,680 days, or more than 37 years, in disciplinary detention in October 2013 \u2014 as well as more than 74 years\u2019 worth of telephone, visitation, and canteen privileges \u2014 for 38 posts on Facebook. \n  \n Space constraints often lead to those punishments being suspended or lessened, though. According to the EFF, for the inmates it reviewed the average time served in solitary was 512 days. \n  \n In February, the SCDC announced it was changing its policy for solitary confinement, making 60 days the maximum punishment in solitary confinement for an infraction. It also stopped making each post on social media an individual infraction. \n  \n However, Stephanie Givens, a spokesperson for the SCDC, said the inmates' punishments were reviewed and found to be appropriate. \n  \n \"Their placement is not just tied to that rap video,\" Stephanie Givens, a spokesperson for the SCDC, told BuzzFeed News. \"It\u2019s the fact that they are gang members and a continued threat to safety.\" \n  \n The seven inmates are serving time for a variety of serious crimes, such as armed robbery, burglary, and voluntary manslaughter. \n  \n David Fathi, the director of the ACLU's National Prison Project, said the punishment of the seven inmates raised First Amendment questions. \n  \n  \n  \n \"It's hard to believe that South Carolina prison officials don\u2019t have better things to do than troll the internet looking for prison videos,\" Fathi told BuzzFeed News. \n  \n  \n  \n While Fathi said that it's clear that inmates can be punished for contraband materials, and that prison officials can limit inmate's speech for security purposes, the inmates' punishments are \"disturbing to the extent that prisoners are being punished for pure speech that\u2019s posted on the internet.\" \n  \n \"They\u2019re finding them guilty of a separate violations of creating or assisting with social networking site,\" he continued. \"That seems like a First Amendment violation on its face.\" \n  \n The ACLU and many other human rights groups also oppose the use of extended solitary confinement as punishment. \n  \n \"The more we learn about solitary confinement, the more we know how profoundly damaging it is to physical and mental health,\" Fathi said, noting that a United Nations expert on torture has called for solitary confinement over 15 days to be completely abolished. \"We know there are measurable changes in the brain after seven days in isolation. A year or six months is grossly excessive.\" \n  \n However, Bryan Stirling, the director of the SCDC, said that allowing prisoners to have access to social media can be a grave security threat. \n  \n \u201cWe have to look no further than our own S.C. corrections officer, Captain Johnson, who was shot six times in his home due to an attempted contract killing via a contraband cellphone,\u201d Stirling said earlier this year. \u201cWe take the use of contraband cellphones and social media by inmates very seriously, and the punishments for using them are severe. We are no different from any other corrections department across the country dealing with this issue.\u201d \n  \n The SCDC estimated earlier this year that roughly 1,400 state prisoners remain in solitary confinement for disciplinary infractions, down from 1,700 last year.

{"inputs": "\u2013 Well, this is awkward: Maryland's attorney general, who has gone so far as to film a public service announcement against underage drinking and who is also currently running for governor, was at a wild-looking teenage party in June. The Baltimore Sun broke the news this week, running a photo (see it here) of Doug Gansler at the party (in the same shot, there are three scantily-clad teens dancing on a table). Gansler said he was simply there to talk to his son (who he says wasn't drinking), and he initially insisted he had no \"moral responsibility\" to intervene. But at a news conference yesterday, he admitted, \"Perhaps I should have assumed there was drinking going on, and I got that wrong. There could be Kool-Aid in the red cups, but there's probably beer in the red cups.\" Gansler and other parents helped organize and pay for the week-long beach trip that preceded the party, as a high school graduation gift, and the teens were apparently only instructed not to drink hard alcohol, with no similar rule about beer. He says he helped pay the rent on the Delaware house, where almost a dozen grads were staying, the Washington Post reports. Two other adults (ostensibly the \"chaperones\" he referred to in the news conference) are shown in the photo, one of them apparently holding a wine glass. This isn't the first controversy to threaten his gubernatorial campaign: Last week, it came out that he allegedly ordered state troopers to speed and run red lights while driving him even to routine appointments, and in August, he made racially charged comments about an opponent. (Meanwhile, some Connecticut parents reacted very differently to their teens' party.)\n\nExpand this summary.", "targets": "Attorney general and gubernatorial candidate Doug Gansler listens to reporters after his remarks during a Thursday news conference in Silver Spring. (Bill O'Leary/The Washington Post) \n  \n A month after launching his campaign for governor, Maryland Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler was entangled Thursday in yet another controversy, this time acknowledging a lapse in judgment when he appeared at a beach-house party and did nothing to stop apparent underage drinking going on there. \n  \n At a half-hour news conference in Silver Spring, Gansler (D) said that when he stopped by a party for graduating high school students in June, he should have been more vigilant about ensuring that the teenagers were not doing anything illegal. A photograph shows Gansler in the middle of a party scene, surrounded by young people. He said that failing to more thoroughly investigate what was going on at the party was \u201ca mistake I made.\u201d \n  \n \u201cIn hindsight, I probably should have assumed there was drinking and talked to the chaperones about what they thought was appropriate,\u201d Gansler said. But Maryland\u2019s top law enforcement official said he was there as a parent, hoping to talk briefly to his teenage son about travel plans, and not as \u201ca police officer or anything else.\u201d \n  \n He saw teenagers drinking from red plastic cups that night, Gansler said. \u201cThere could be Kool-Aid in the red cups,\u201d he said, \u201cbut there\u2019s probably beer in the red cups.\u201d \n  \n Gansler, 50, called the news conference in response to a Baltimore Sun story that included a photograph of him amid a throng of teenagers, three of whom were dancing on a tabletop. \n  \n At a news conference Thursday in Silver Spring, Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler (D) said that he should have investigated whether there had been underage drinking at high school \"beach party\" where he stopped by to visit his son. (WJLA/NewsChannel 8) \n  \n At the news conference, Gansler was shown a copy of the photo that appears to show him holding a phone. When asked whether he was taking a photo with it, he said he had not yet learned how to do that with his new iPhone. He said he thought he was reading a text message. \n  \n Gansler told reporters that he visited \u201ca dance party with loud music\u201d to tell his son what time they had to leave Delaware in the morning. \u201cWhat I\u2019m doing in that picture is walking through \u2014 my son was upstairs; he was the DJ,\u201d he said. \u201cI walked through the party, walked through the dance floor, walked upstairs, talked to my son, walked downstairs and left.\u201d \n  \n In the photograph, two other adults can be seen in the corner of the room, one of them holding what appears to be a wine glass. \n  \n The June 13 party took place at a six-bedroom rental home in South Bethany, Del., where Gansler\u2019s son was staying with close to a dozen other graduates of the Landon School in Bethesda during \u201cbeach week.\u201d Gansler said that his name was not on the lease but that he contributed to the rent. \n  \n He said that he faced the tensions facing any parent of a teenager: \u201cHow much do you let them go? How much do you rein them in? . . . I\u2019m really no different from any other parent.\u201d He said neither he nor his son was drinking. \n  \n Other photos and videos posted on social media from the party depict a wild environment at the house, with teenagers standing on a bar and perched on a banister in the main room as others dance below to Neil Diamond\u2019s \u201cSweet Caroline.\u201d \n  \n Gansler\u2019s appearance at the beach party is the latest episode to detract from the fledgling Democratic primary campaign, in which Gansler faces Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown and Del. Heather R. Mizeur (Montgomery) in June. \n  \n Last week, The Washington Post reported that written accounts by the Maryland State Police alleged that Gansler regularly ordered troopers assigned to drive for him to speed and run red lights, even on the way to routine appointments. Gansler accused a police commander who documented those concerns of being a politically motivated \u201chenchman\u201d trying to help Brown\u2019s campaign. \n  \n In August, before Gansler \u00adformally announced his long- \n  \n anticipated bid for governor, The Post reported that he was secretly recorded at a meeting with volunteers saying that Brown was relying on his race to get elected and that his campaign slogan was: \u201cVote for me, I want to be the first African American governor of Maryland.\u201d \n  \n Gansler said Thursday that he remained undeterred by the controversies and was eager to talk about issues affecting Marylanders. He said he is a \u201ca big boy\u201d and understands the scrutiny that comes with running for governor. \u201cWe\u2019re in it,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m going to win it.\u201d \n  \n As attorney general, Gansler has taken on the issue of underage drinking. He appeared in a public- service announcement less than a year ago for the Century Council, a group that works to combat teen drinking. \u201cParents, you\u2019re the leading influence on your teen\u2019s decision not to drink,\u201d Gansler said in the video. \u201cIt\u2019s never too early to talk with your kids about smart ways to say no.\u201d \n  \n Among other battles, he took on Pabst Brewing in a strongly worded 2011 letter. He and other attorneys general called for an end to a fruit-flavored, high-alcohol malt beverage that he said was packaged as \u201cbinge-in-a-can\u201d and designed to appeal to young people. \n  \n And Gansler\u2019s office got behind legislation this year to help prevent would-be underage drinkers from surreptitiously purchasing alcohol at a grocery store by checking out with a self-scanner. \n  \n Mothers Against Drunk Driving issued a statement Thursday saying that the group was \u201cdisheartened\u201d to learn that Gansler may have attended an apparent underage drinking party. Gansler is considered a leader on the issue, the group said. It said that adults must \u201ctake the lead and make it clear to their children that drinking any alcohol before age 21 is both dangerous and illegal.\u201d \n  \n The legal drinking age in Delaware, as in Maryland, is 21. According to Delaware state law, an adult who buys or gives alcoholic beverages to people younger than 21 or allows someone under his or her supervision to consume alcohol can be subject to a fine of up to $500 and sentenced to perform community service and serve up to 30 days in jail. But the law does not apply to family members within the private family home. \n  \n It is not clear how the law would apply to a rental home with chaperones and underage teenagers from many different families. A spokesman for Delaware\u2019s attorney general said the office would not comment on hypothetical scenarios. \n  \n But Gansler told the Sun: \u201cAssume for purposes of discussion that there was widespread drinking at this party. How is that relevant to me? . . . The question is: Do I have any moral authority over other people\u2019s children at beach week in another state? I say no. \n  \n \u201cMy responsibility is only to my child,\u201d Gansler added. \u201cEverybody has their own moral compass. Mine is to raise my own child.\u201d \n  \n He softened that at the news conference, which drew national media attention, acknowledging that he should have at least approached the chaperones to ensure everything was all right. He emphasized, however, that he did not witness anyone in danger or exhibiting signs of intoxication. \n  \n \u201cI didn\u2019t see anybody in front of me clearly in danger or in any risk,\u201d he said. \n  \n Earlier on the night of the party, Gansler had appeared in Ocean City at an event sponsored by the Maryland Bar Association, according to his campaign. \n  \n Timothy Dickson, a Virginia man who owns the South Bethany beach house, said he is seeking a legal remedy for significant damage to the house that he said is believed to be connected to the tenants who stayed there during the week of the party. \n  \n Police have said the damage probably occurred during a break-in after tenants departed \u2014 a scenario that Gansler said Thursday was his understanding of what occurred. \n  \n At a town council meeting a few weeks later, damage at the property was said to be about $50,000, according to the minutes. \n  \n Dickson said he had forwarded to police some documents discovered in the home after the tenants left. They include a roster of the boys who stayed there that week and a list of parent chaperones throughout the week. \n  \n A \u201cDoug\u201d is listed as a chaperone on the Saturday and Sunday before the Thursday party, according to a copy of e-mails sent to parents that were obtained by The Post. Gansler\u2019s attorney general e-mail address is among the recipients. \n  \n Gansler spokesman Bob Wheelock said Gansler never filled a chaperone shift. \u201cHe wasn\u2019t a chaperone for those two nights or any other night,\u201d Wheelock said. \n  \n Wheelock said Gansler, who was staying in another beach house in the area that week, dropped by the house where the teens were staying one night earlier in the week. Gansler might have had a beer that night with the chaperones on duty, Wheelock said. \n  \n Robert Lynch, a parent who was scheduled to chaperone the night of the June 13 party, declined to be interviewed by The Post on Thursday. \n  \n \u201cIf this is about the Doug Gansler thing, I\u2019m not going to comment,\u201d he said before hanging up the telephone. \n  \n A list of \u201c2013 Beach Week Rules\u201d included in the documents says that \u201cno hard liquor or controlled substances may be consumed.\u201d \n  \n The rules also note that \u201cchaperones will record any DAMAGE to house and inform incoming chaperones. Damages will be discussed with boys as it happens, if blame can be placed on an individual, his security deposit will reflect damage.\u201d \n  \n At Thursday\u2019s news conference, Gansler was asked whether he was accompanied by a Maryland state trooper the night of the party. \n  \n Gansler hesitated, then said: \u201cI may have, but I really, really doubt it.\u201d \n  \n Susan Svrluga, Peter Hermann, Mark Berman, T. J. Ortenzi and Jennifer Jenkins contributed to this report. ||||| This photo -- obtained by ABC News -- was taken at a party attended by Doug Gansler. ( ) \n  \n Maryland Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler said Thursday that showing up at a \"beach week\" party of teenagers and not investigating whether there was underage drinking was \"a mistake that I made.\" \n  \n \"Perhaps I should have assumed there was drinking going on, and I got that wrong,\" Gansler said. \n  \n He said he stopped only briefly at the party in Delaware last June to see his son and left without asking the teenagers \u2014 including shirtless boys and a girl dancing on a tabletop \u2014 about the red plastic cups scattered around the party. \n  \n \"There could be Kool-Aid in the red cups, but there's probably beer in the red cups,\" he told reporters. \n  \n Gansler, Maryland's chief law enforcement officer and a candidate for governor, held a news conference Thursday after The Baltimore Sun published a photo that showed him at the center of the party in South Bethany, along with his comments that he had no \"moral responsibility\" to intervene. \n  \n The image and Gansler's assertion made national news Thursday. Gansler has been an outspoken advocate for stricter laws against underage drinking. \n  \n The episode delivers the latest blow to Gansler's campaign for the Democratic nomination next year. \n  \n \"Can things get any worse?\" asked Matthew Crenson, professor emeritus of political science at the Johns Hopkins University. \n  \n Gansler has faced allegations that he ordered the state troopers on his security detail to drive recklessly and speed, failed to pay for traffic tickets and described his chief Democratic political rival Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown, an African-American, as relying on his racial heritage to get elected. \n  \n In each case, analysts said, the damage was amplified by Gansler's response. \n  \n \"He's just had one mistake after another,\" Crenson said. \"I just can't believe people are going to put up with this.\" \n  \n At the news conference in front of his Silver Spring campaign headquarters, Gansler dismissed suggestions that his bid for governor had faltered. \n  \n \"We're in it. We're going to win it,\" Gansler said. \"The people of Maryland, they want somebody with the character, judgment, record, vision, authenticity, who is genuine and going to make the best Maryland. We're fine.\" \n  \n At the same time, Gansler reversed some of his comments about his responsibility at the party. Campaign spokesman Bob Wheelock said the change came \"after reflection.\" \n  \n The party came at the end of a weeklong trip Gansler and other parents helped organize and finance for a dozen boys who had just graduated from the Landon School, a private school for boys in Bethesda. \n  \n Written rules given to the teens who were staying at the house for the week forbade drinking \"hard liquor,\" but included no such instructions about beer. \n  \n On Thursday, Gansler described himself as a father facing \"the tension for all parents\" of teenagers about to leave for college. \n  \n \"How much do you let them go? How much do you sort of rein them in?\" he said. In hindsight, he said, \"I should have assumed that there was drinking.\" \n  \n Gansler said his son wasn't drinking at the party. \n  \n The report sparked a vigorous debate on Baltimore talk radio about the responsibilities of parents to monitor the alcohol use of their underage children. Former Ravens owner David Modell called in to WBAL-AM to demand Gansler's resignation. |||||"}

Ted Strickland tried restricting his spending last week to the $77 the wage offers, and by Thursday, he failed, he writes at Politico. The experience involved skipping meals, turning to unhealthy food, and walking to meetings because he couldn't afford other transportation, he writes. \"When I actually caught a cold, I felt lucky to already have medicine at home that would help with the symptoms,\" Strickland notes. \"Medicine, along with any other unexpected or additional expenses, often prevents the budget from stretching as far as it needs to stretch.\" But many in Washington don't realize that thanks to their insulated lifestyles, he writes. Strickland, a Democrat, is among officials and activists trying to \"Live the Wage\" and calling on members of Congress to do so, too, \"before opposing an increase that would help millions of Americans who currently live in poverty.\" Click for his full piece.", "targets": "In The Arena I Tried to Live on Minimum Wage for a Week \n  \n For all of last week, I worked hard to live on the budget of a minimum wage worker. That meant I had $77 to spend on food, transportation, activities and other personal expenses for the week. I didn\u2019t make it. \n  \n Most mornings started with eggs and toast, bought last Sunday during a grocery trip costing more than $15. Lunches were normally leftovers, macaroni and cheese or McDonald\u2019s. There were no big dinners or coffee stops on a whim. But the challenges were beyond food. \n  \n Wednesday morning, I had a meeting about a mile from my apartment, but in the opposite direction of my office. I would normally take a cab, but this time, I took off my jacket and walked the mile in 90-degree heat, then walked back almost 2 miles to my office. Walking made me late to my meeting, but a minimum wage budget doesn\u2019t allow for extra transportation costs, making it my only option. \n  \n And early in the week when I actually caught a cold, I felt lucky to already have medicine at home that would help with the symptoms. Medicine, along with any other unexpected or additional expenses, often prevents the budget from stretching as far as it needs to stretch. That was a lesson I learned when my budget ran out on Thursday evening. \n  \n These are just some of the small realities I have learned about life on the minimum wage. \n  \n Washington is in a bubble that keeps our representatives away from the experiences of those they actually represent. We need to understand the challenges faced by Americans who are being left behind in our economy. That\u2019s why I joined members of Congress and dozens of organizations in taking the Live the Wage challenge (www.LivetheWage.com), and asking those in Congress to actually try living on the minimum wage for a week before opposing an increase that would help millions of Americans who currently live in poverty. \n  \n For the week, I walked as much as I possibly could to avoid paying for transportation, skipped meals to save money \u2014 and I ate much smaller and less healthful meals when I did eat. Because fresh fruits and vegetables are hard to find at a price within a minimum wage budget, I turned to bread, peanut butter, bananas and bologna more than anything else. That was what I could find when I took this budget to the grocery story last Sunday. And that\u2019s why I ate lunch from the McDonald\u2019s dollar menu. ||||| This crawl of online resources of the 115th US Congress was performed on behalf of The United States National Archives & Records |||||"}

And it is not even the next big hill, called Cardiac. (If your legs have not burst, maybe your heart will.) \n  \n It is not the treacherous plunge toward the ocean, the crooked depths and broken steps of Steep Ravine, even the poison oak that crowds the skinny trails and tickles the legs before blooming into a postrace rash.

It is like unloading a zoo\u2019s worth of animals in reverse order of mobility and releasing the cheetahs at the end. ||||| These crawls are part of an effort to archive pages as they are created and archive the pages that they refer to.

And its unique handicapping system has made winners of men and women of all ages. Because of its beauty and challenge, it is a very popular event, and because of safety and environmental concerns the number of runners is limited to about 1,500.

Held since 1905, it's thought to be the country's second-oldest race behind the Boston Marathon, and it has two highly distinctive features. One is the course, which is treacherously steep, involves nearly 700 stairs to climb in the first mile alone, and allows for shortcuts. The other is that handicapping, which places children and the most elderly runners at the front of the pack; at the rear are men ages 19-30. In the middle are runners distributed \"by a complex algorithm of gender and age\" now handled by an MIT-educated engineer, with waves released every minute for 25 minutes. That's allowed an 8-year-old girl and 72-year-old man to win the June race in recent years. The winner of the 2017 race was a 46-year-old woman named Chris Lundy. There's a heck of a lot of passing involved, and by extension, \"a lot of touching, hands on sweaty backs and shoulders, to keep in control.\" As for Branch, he started out six minutes before the young male runners.

She was 84.\"Legendary singer and performer Eydie Gorme passed away peacefully today at Sunrise Hospital following a brief illness,\" Bragman said in a statement. \"She was surrounded by her husband, son and other loved ones at the time of her death.\"In his own statement, Steve Lawrence said: \"Eydie has been my partner on stage and in life for more than 55 years.

Spanish was spoken in the home, while at William Howard Taft High School she became the Taft Swing Band's lead female vocalist.Her gift for languages helped land her a job as a translator at the United Nations shortly after high-school graduation, and her mellifluous voice soon got her an audition with Tex Beneke's Big Band. A year's tour followed, as did a contract with Coral Records.She met Lawrence, a cantor's son (his original surname was Leibowitz), in September 1953 on Steve Allen's Tonight show. Booked for two weeks as the program's vocalist, she ended up staying five years. Lawrence was also a regular on the show, and the two were often paired in musical numbers and comic sketches.Once married, in 1958 they had their own summer TV show, which was canceled after the one season because Lawrence was drafted into the Army. Gorm\u00e9 then performed in nightclubs around Washington, D.C., where he was stationed, and after his discharge in 1960, the \"Steve and Eydie\" act was born, as was their legend.So accustomed were the two to appearing together, that when Lawrence did a show by himself in 2009 \u2013 Gorm\u00e9 had retired and took up blogging on her and her husband's website \u2013 he told Newsday that it was strange. \"It's also about the first time in 50 years I'll be able to finish a sentence without being interrupted.\"Not that they didn't have successes on their own. In 1962, Lawrence had his great hit, \"Go Away Little Girl.\" A year later, Gorm\u00e9 scored on the Billboard charts with \"Blame It on the Bossa Nova.\" The bouncy number made her an international star, and she became a Latin crossover artist when she began singing in Spanish the following year.Gorm\u00e9 and Lawrence had two sons: David, a composer, and Michael, who died in 1986, at 23, from an undiagnosed heart condition. Steve and David Lawrence survive her, as does a granddaughter and generations of fans. \"Services are pending and will be private,\" said Bragman.\"A prolific 93 albums, 12 Emmys, 2 Grammys and innumerable national tours later, they're still singing together,\" The New York Times reported in 2004, when the two headliners performed to an appreciative crowd in Westbury, Long Island.The newspaper added: \"At the end of a show that lasted nearly three hours, Ms. Gorm\u00e9's sign-off, 'God bless us all,' prompted a standing ovation.\" ||||| Eydie Gorme, the popular nightclub vocalist and half of the longtime musical partnership Steve & Eydie, died in a Las Vegas hospital Saturday after an undisclosed illness. She was 84 years old. \n  \n Together with her husband, Steve Lawrence, Gorme was known for a breezy, easy listening style that merged well with the adult contemporary pop sound of the time. As a solo performer, she performed the Grammy-nominated 1963 hit \"Blame It on the Bossa Nova,\" which was written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil (listen below). \n  \n Gorme -- who was born to Sephardic Jewish parents in New York City -- also earned fame for Spanish language recordings, including the 1964 collection of standards \"Amor,\" which was recorded with the Mexican group Trio los Panchos. \n  \n Gorme's big break happened as she joined the cast of Steve Allen's New York television show in 1953, which is where she first began working with Lawrence in musical and comedy segments. The collaboration continued as Allen's show became \"The Tonight Show,\" and she and Lawrence married in 1957. \n  \n Eventually billed as Steve and Eydie, the duo won a Grammy in 1960 for best performance by a vocal group and became known for a repertoire of nightclub-ready standards that included songs by Irving Berlin, Cole Porter and Rodgers and Hammerstein.

She was unarmed. \n  \n That was enough for Harteau. \n  \n Harteau acknowledged it was rare for a chief to speak so strongly so early in an investigation into an officer\u2019s conduct. \n  \n \u201cRare, but each situation is different, and I can certainly speak on what the public knows,\u201d she said. \u201cThe death of Justine should not have happened.\u201d \n  \n Harteau\u2019s remarks came so many days after the shooting because she was on vacation, backpacking in what she called a \u201cremote\u201d mountainous area with only sporadic cellphone coverage. \n  \n \u201cFor a chief, this is a nightmare, not only to have an event like this occur but to not be here,\u201d she said in response to repeated questions from several reporters. She added: \u201cBut I assure everyone in this community that there wasn\u2019t anything that didn\u2019t get done.\u201d \n  \n She said the impact of the shooting, which has drawn international attention, particularly from Australia, has not been lost on her. \n  \n \u201cThis has had a negative impact on the trust we\u2019ve built,\u201d she said. \n  \n More than once, Harteau implied that blame should fall squarely on Noor. \u201cWe are talking about one individual\u2019s actions,\u201d she said. \n  \n Harteau said she had spoken with Damond\u2019s family and promised them \u201cjustice.\u201d \n  \n Noor has expressed sympathy through an attorney but has refused to speak with BCA investigators \u2014 his constitutional right. However, he could face discipline or even lose his job if he refuses to speak with Minneapolis police internal affairs investigators. \n  \n Harteau said she hopes Noor will talk. \n  \n \u201cI would prefer Officer Noor would speak, whether it be to our internal process or the BCA,\u201d she said. \u201cThere are questions that need to be answered.\u201d ||||| Video (01:55) : In her first public remarks since returning from a hiking trip in Colorado Thursday, Minneapolis Police Chief Janee Harteau condemned the actions of officer Mohamed Noor. \n  \n In her first public appearance since a Minneapolis police officer shot and killed Justine Damond, Chief Jane\u00e9 Harteau said the department will work on regaining the public\u2019s trust, acknowledging that \u201cJustine didn\u2019t have to die.\u201d \n  \n The shooting and any possible misconduct are still under investigation by the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, but Harteau repeated several times at a news conference Thursday that the death was unnecessary and the officers should have turned on their body cameras, casting the shooting by officer Mohamed Noor as \u201cone individual\u2019s actions\u201d and not reflective of the department. \n  \n \u201cBased on the publicly released information from the BCA, this should not have happened,\u201d Harteau said, referencing a preliminary investigative report released earlier in the week. \u201cOn our squad cars you will find the words \u2018To protect with courage and serve with compassion.\u2019 This did not happen.\u201d \n  \n \u201cI believe the actions in question go against who we are as a department, how we train and the expectations we have for our officers,\u201d she continued. \u201cThese were the actions and judgments of one individual.\u201d \n  \n Harteau stopped short of calling the shooting was legally unjustified, saying \u201cthat\u2019ll be part of the criminal investigation.\u201d \n  \n The brief but expansive news conference gave no more information as to why Noor shot Damond after she called 911 to report a possible sexual assault last Saturday in south Minneapolis. The death of the 40-year-old spiritual teacher, who was engaged to be married, drew international attention and widespread mourning. In an interview Thursday, Mayor Betsy Hodges also reiterated calls to reform the city\u2019s body camera policy. \n  \n Minneapolis Police Chief Janee Harteau made her first remarks Thursday since the high-profile shooting death of Justine Damond. Behind Harteau was Assistant Chief Medaria Arradondo. \n  \n Harteau\u2019s news conference, attended by several members of the Australian media, spanned from Noor\u2019s training to why Harteau had been absent from public eye since the shooting. Harteau said she did not know Noor well, and had only spoken to him in passing, but that he \u201cabsolutely\u201d performed well in his training. She dismissed claims from critics such as former Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, who on Wednesday called Noor, who is Somali-American, \u201can affirmative action hire.\u201d \u201cThis is about an individual officer\u2019s actions. It is not about race or ethnicity,\u201d Harteau said. \u201cWe have a very robust training and hiring process. This officer completed that training very well, just like every officer. He was very suited to be on the street.\u201d \n  \n Harteau emphatically maintained that based on what she knows, both officers body cameras should have been running. Plans are in place to enhance the current policy for when they should be on \u2014 and that\u2019s in multiple scenarios, she said, \u201cCertainly when you\u2019re going to have interaction when you\u2019re dispatched to a call.\u201d \n  \n However, she said the program is only eight months old, so \u201cIt\u2019s not second nature for officers to put those cameras on yet.\u201d \n  \n Harteau said she spoke with Damond\u2019s fianc\u00e9, Don Damond, who told her he worried the shooting would send a message to the community that it\u2019s unsafe to call 911. \n  \n \u201cAlthough disheartening, I understand the fear and why it exists,\u201d she said. \u201cThis has had a negative impact on the community trust we\u2019ve built. Moving forward, we will work toward regaining the trust with everything we do.\u201d \n  \n Harteau said she wishes Noor would reconsider his decision to refuse to be interviewed by investigators, because \u201cthere are questions that need to be answered and he is the only one that has those answers.\u201d \n  \n Noor\u2019s partner that night, Matthew Harrity, told investigators that as he was driving in an alley he was startled by a loud sound near their squad, according to a BCA report released Tuesday. \n  \n Damond approached the driver\u2019s side window of the squad car \u201cimmediately afterward,\u201d according to the BCA. Noor shot from the passenger seat, across his partner and through the window, striking Damond in the abdomen. She died at the scene 20 minutes later. \n  \n Asked about firing the shot from inside the squad, Harteau was succinct: \u201cThat\u2019s not how we train.\u201d \n  \n The BCA has declined to provide any additional information into the investigation. A spokesman for the Hennepin County attorney\u2019s office said Thursday that the BCA has not provided a timeline for when the investigation will be completed. \n  \n Harteau has been out of town since the shooting, and she said Thursday she was backpacking in remote mountains on a personal trip, but receiving briefings. \n  \n Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges expressed similar sentiments to Harteau Thursday, saying that the fatal police shooting of Justine Damond should not have happened \u2014 and that the lack of body camera footage from the incident is unacceptable. \n  \n \u201cGiven the facts that we know that the investigators have given us, those body cameras should have been on,\u201d Hodges said in an interview. \u201cWhy weren\u2019t they?\u201d \n  \n Hodges said she expects the police department \u201cto make any and all changes needed to our policy so that we can be sure we will have bodycam footage when we need it,\u201d and to take the events surrounding Saturday\u2019s shooting into consideration when making those changes. \n  \n Earlier this week, Damond\u2019s family hired Twin Cities attorney Robert Bennett, who is known for working on high-profile police misconduct cases. He recently represented Philando Castile\u2019s mother in a lawsuit, settled for $3 million, over the police shooting death of her son. \n  \n Bennett said Damond\u2019s relatives are seeking a transparent investigation, body camera policy reform and changes in how officers are trained and selected. He added that they also want swift discipline \u2014 including possible termination \u2014 for Noor. \n  \n Following the criminal investigation, Bennett said it is likely Damond\u2019s family here and in Australia will consider a lawsuit. \n  \n \u201cI can\u2019t conceive the circumstances where they wouldn\u2019t,\u201d he said. \n  \n Staff writers Hannah Covington, Brandon Stahl and Miguel Ot\u00e1rola contributed to this report. |||||\nWhat is a one-paragraph summary of the above article?", "targets": "\u2013 \"Justine didn't have to die,\" Minneapolis Police Chief Janee Harteau said Thursday in her first public comments on the shooting of an Australian bride-to-be who had called 911 to report hearing a possible sexual assault.

{"inputs": "Here is a news article: \u201cWhen it comes to short-term memory, it seems to work almost the same for all animals. It's a bit surprising that apes do not remember better than rats, but the results are clear. Human memory stands out because it is so susceptible, anything seems to stick in the memory for a very long time,\u201d says Johan Lind, associate Professor of ethology at Stockholm University. \n  \n 100 memory experiments \n  \n Researchers at the Centre for the Study of Cultural Evolution at Stockholm University and Brooklyn College have conducted the study, a meta-analysis of nearly 100 memory experiments on 25 different species. The study shows that animals have different memory systems. Simply put, animals have short term memory and specialised memories. In short-term memory, animals store information about almost anything but the information disappears quickly. Animals also have a variety of specialised memories that, on the one hand, can only store a certain type of information, but on the other hand, the information is stored for a very long time. \n  \n Short term memory and specialised memories \n  \n As an example, one can take a hoarding crow bird that remembers the location of the hidden nuts for months, but the animals have trouble remembering other things in other contexts for even a minute. Specialised memories hold information for a long time, consider for example that animals can remember other individuals, places rich in food, or if certain foods are toxic, for very long time periods. However, memories of events that trigger these specific systems disappear in a matter of seconds or a few minutes. \u201cThis seems to apply to all animals except man,\u201d says Magnus Enqvist, Professor of Ethology at Stockholm University. \n  \n Sometime in our prehistory, we developed mental abilities that enabled people to speak, learn to read and build complex societies. \n  \n \u201cOur study helps to better understand how human psychology changed over the past millions of years,\u201d says Stefano Ghirlanda, a professor of psychology at Brooklyn College. \n  \n This is how the experiments were made \n  \n The experiments were analysed, using so-called delayed-matching-to-sample tests, examining short-term memory and starts with an animal may see a stimulus, such as a red dot. The red dot disappears, and after some time the animal may see two stimuli, one of which is the same as the first, while the other is different, for example a black square. The animal is rewarded if it chooses the same stimulus after the break as it saw before the break, in this case the red dot. ||||| We performed a meta-analysis of over 90 data sets from delayed matching-to-sample (DMTS) studies with 25 species (birds, mammals, and bees). In DMTS, a sample stimulus is first presented and then removed. After a delay, two (or more) comparison stimuli are presented, and the subject is rewarded for choosing the one matching the sample. We used data on performance vs. delay length to estimate two parameters informative of working memory abilities: the maximum performance possible with no delay (comparison stimuli presented as soon as the sample is removed), and the rate of performance decay as the delay is lengthened (related to memory span). We conclude that there is little evidence that zero-delay performance varies between these species. There is evidence that pigeons do not perform as well as mammals at longer delay intervals. Pigeons, however, are the only extensively studied bird, and we cannot exclude that other birds may be able to bridge as long a delay as mammals. Extensive training may improve memory, although the data are open to other interpretations. Overall, DMTS studies suggest memory spans ranging from a few seconds to several minutes. We suggest that observations of animals exhibiting much longer memory spans (days to months) can be explained in terms of specialized memory systems that deal with specific, biologically significant information, such as food caches. Events that do not trigger these systems, on the other hand, appear to be remembered for only a short time. \n  \n This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: In Honor of Jerry Hogan. ||||| James Owen \n  \n National Geographic \n  \n Published February 26, 2015 \n  \n The next time your dog happily greets an old friend, remember this: Your pup likely can't remember the last time they met. \n  \n We often say someone has \"a memory like an elephant,\" or, if it's a forgetful person, \"a goldfish.\" But in comparing our memory with that of animals, what's the truth? (Read \"Animal Minds\" in National Geographic magazine.) \n  \n A recent investigation of short-term memory suggests animals don't remember specific events much at all\u2014instead, they store away useful information about what could help them survive. \n  \n Covering 25 species that ranged from dolphins to bees, the study found the average short-term memory span of animals was 27 seconds (which was the midway point before the memory is lost), according to a team led by Johan Lind, an ethologist at the Centre for the Study of Cultural Evolution at Stockholm University, Sweden. (See \"Dolphins Have Longest Memories in Animal Kingdom.\") \n  \n Dogs forget an event within two minutes. Chimpanzees, at around 20 seconds, are worse than rats at remembering things, while the memory spans of three other primates\u2014baboons, pig\u2014tailed macaques, and squirrel monkeys\u2014exceeded only bees (the sole study participant that wasn't either a mammal or a bird). \n  \n Since chimps are our closest living relatives, Lind said he was surprised by their poor performance. It suggests human capacity for memory evolved after we branched from the most recent shared ancestor with chimps, over six million years ago. \n  \n Reported in late 2014 in the journal Behavioural Processes, the findings drew on data from almost a hundred studies of captive animals that used a memory test of recent random events known as the delayed matching-to-sample (or DMTS) method. \n  \n In this test, an animal is typically shown a visual stimulus such as a red circle. The red circle disappears, then, after a delay, it's shown again with another sample stimulus\u2014a blue square, say. The animal, usually with the incentive of a food reward, has to select the original sample it saw. \n  \n Compared with animals, humans find this type of test a breeze\u2014we pick the correct sample effortlessly after 48 hours or more, studies have shown. (Also see \"A Message From Your Brain: I'm Not Good At Remembering What I Hear.\") \n  \n \"The data tell us that animals have no long-term memory of arbitrary events,\" Lind said. Based on the new study, \"we think humans' ability to remember arbitrary events is unique.\" \n  \n Memories Not Created Equal \n  \n This ability is also called episodic memory, and it allows us to remember almost any occurrence, however trivial, for long periods. \n  \n \"We experience this daily when we remember where we parked the car or that we have to pay a bill next week,\" Lind said. \n  \n While there are plenty of examples of animals with long memories\u2014elephants never forgetting a face, the cat that's scared of the pet carrier after a past visit to the vet, swallows returning to last summer's nest\u2014they aren't using episodic memory, according to Lind. \n  \n Such cases \"are due to associative memories,\" he says. They're not based on \"memories of specific events. In the second case, the cat associates the carrier with danger. Such memories are very robust and will stay for a long time\u2014for life\u2014in animals.\" \n  \n That's because animals may have specialized memory systems hardwired to remember certain \"biologically relevant information\" (such as where to find food), the study authors proposed. \n  \n Take the example of the western scrub jay, a food-caching bird whose ability to remember and choose between its buried stores has been reported as evidence of episodic-like memory in animals. (See \"Bird-Brained Jays Can Plan for the Future.\") \n  \n But, said Lind, \"if these scrub jays had an episodic memory, as humans do, they would have no problem solving the matching-to-sample experiment.\" \n  \n The scrub jays' performance in the experiment is really no different than that of other birds, however. Their \"memory will decay within half a minute,\" he said. (See pictures of animals that are smarter than you think.) \n  \n Photograph by Vicent J. Musi, National Geographic \n  \n Mental Time Travel \n  \n Scientists see this memory distinction as key to trying to understand what mental skills we share with other animals and what's unique about the human mind. (Read about the amazing human memory in National Geographic magazine.) \n  \n \"The study of episodic memory is crucial, since it is still under debate whether other animals can retrieve memories of personal past events in the same way humans do,\" Gema Martin-Ordas, who studies animal and human cognition at Newcastle University's Institute of Neuroscience in England, said in an email. \n  \n \"For example, I remember that I went for a run to the park yesterday, and I am perfectly aware that this memory is part of my personal past experience,\" said Martin-Ordas, who wasn't involved in the new study. \n  \n Given our current knowledge, however, \"it might be too early to argue that humans are the only ones who are able to mentally travel back and forward in time,\" she added. (See this interactive: \"Mapping Memory in 3-D.\") \n  \n Martin-Ordas's own research has found evidence that great apes do remember episodic-like details for days and even years, noted Victoria Templer, a psychologist at Providence College in Rhode Island. \n  \n Both researchers urged caution in interpreting the results of the new study. \n  \n As the study authors themselves observed, \"some species or individuals might adjust well to a laboratory environment, and some may not,\" Templer said. \n  \n For instance, it could be that chimpanzees recollected worse than rats in the DMTS experiments because the rats had more training in the memory task. \n  \n But if the short-term memory spans of chimps and other primates really are as mediocre as the DMTS tests indicate, \"the study reminds us that evolution is not a unidirectional ladder of improvement with humans at the top and apes close behind,\" Templer said. \n  \n That's something for us humans to remember\u2014we might not be as smart as we like to think. |||||\nA summary of this is?", "targets": "\u2013 When it comes to short-term memory, animals have very short ones indeed. A new meta-analysis examined more than 90 memory experiments carried out on 25 species encompassing birds, mammals, and bees. Researchers at Stockholm University and Brooklyn College found that for dogs, events are forgotten after about two minutes\u2014and that's on the long end of the spectrum. The average memory duration for all animals studied is 27 seconds, with chimps' memory as short as 20 seconds; that's a length of time that rats beat, reports National Geographic. Humans subjected to similar studies have had no problem remembering a sample stimulus they had seen as many as two days prior. In fact, based on these findings, \"we think humans' ability to remember arbitrary events is unique,\" one researcher says. Animals' memories can be broken into two categories\u2014short-term and longer-term \"specialized\" memories, reports the University of Stockholm. And while animals can have excellent specialized memories (think birds remembering the exact locations of previous nests), memories of specific events tend to disappear in a span \"ranging from a few seconds to several minutes,\" per the researchers' findings, published in December in Behavioural Processes. That said, one researcher not involved in the study pointed out that some animals have shown the ability to capture episodic memories the way humans can\u2014great apes have been shown to do so for days, if not years\u2014while another cautioned that \"it might be too early to argue that humans are the only ones who are able to mentally travel back and forward in time.\" (Dolphins, meanwhile, can recall whistles 20 years later.)"}

He's also asked Pelosi, Reid, Boehner and McConnell to each choose another four members and one staffer specializing in health care policy to attend the meeting. \n  \n  \n  \n \"This leaves a lot of unanswered questions.

The official said more details will be released going forward. \n  \n  \n  \n The invitation lays out the meeting agenda: Obama will deliver opening remarks, it explains, then hand the mic off to \"a Republican leader chosen by the Republican leadership and a Democratic leader chosen by the Democratic leadership.\" \n  \n  \n  \n \"The President will then open and moderate discussion on four critical topics: insurance reforms, cost containment, expanding coverage, and the impact health reform legislation will have on deficit reduction,\" says the invite. \n  \n  \n  \n The invite also nudges back against GOP complaints that Obama did not make good on his campaign pledge to air health care negotiations on C-SPAN - a criticism that Obama has said is legitimate. \n  \n  \n  \n In highlighting the efforts over the past year to craft health care legislation, the invitation points out that \"there have been hundreds of hours of committee hearings and mark-ups in both the House of Representatives and Senate, with nearly all of those sessions televised on C-SPAN.\" \n  \n  \n  \n \"The Blair House meeting is the next step in this process,\" the invitation says. \"The session will begin at 10:00 a.m. and be broadcast live in its entirety.\" \n  \n  \n  \n Joining Obama at the meeting from the White House will be Vice President Biden, Nancy-Ann DeParle, director of the Office of Health Reform, Sebelius and a representative from the Office of Management and Budget. \n  \n  \n  \n The congressional invite list and the full letter are below: \n  \n  \n  \n Senator Harry Reid, D-NV, Majority Leader \n  \n Senator Mitch McConnell, R-KY, Republican Leader \n  \n Senator Richard Durbin, D-IL, Majority Whip \n  \n Senator Jon Kyl, R-AZ, Republican Whip \n  \n Senator Max Baucus, D-MT, Chairman of the Finance Committee \n  \n Senator Chuck Grassley, R-IA, Ranking Member of the Finance Committee \n  \n Senator Tom Harkin, D-IA, Chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee \n  \n Senator Mike Enzi, R-WY, Ranking Member of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee \n  \n Senator Christopher Dodd, D-CT, Member of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee \n  \n  \n  \n Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-CA \n  \n Representative Steny Hoyer, D-MD, Majority Leader \n  \n Representative John Boehner, R-OH, Republican Leader \n  \n Representative James Clyburn, D-SC, Majority Whip \n  \n Representative Eric Cantor, R-VA, Republican Whip \n  \n Representative Charles Rangel, D-NY, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee \n  \n Representative Dave Camp, R-MI, Ranking Member of the Ways and Means Committee \n  \n Representative Henry Waxman, D-CA, Chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee \n  \n Representative Joe Barton, R-TX, Ranking Member of the Energy and Commerce Committee \n  \n Representative George Miller, D-CA, Chairman of the Education and Labor Committee \n  \n Representative John Kline, R-MN, Ranking Member of the Education and Labor Committee \n  \n Representative John Dingell, D-MI, Chair Emeritus of the Energy and Commerce Committee \n  \n  \n  \n --- \n  \n  \n  \n Dear Speaker Pelosi, Senator Reid, Senator McConnell, and Representative Boehner: \n  \n  \n  \n We are writing to ask that you join President Obama for a bipartisan meeting at the Blair House on February 25 to discuss health reform legislation. \n  \n  \n  \n We have seen again in recent days that when it comes to health care, the status quo is unsustainable and unacceptable.

There have been hundreds of hours of committee hearings and mark-ups in both the House of Representatives and Senate, with nearly all of those sessions televised on C-SPAN. The Senate spent over 160 hours on the Senate floor considering health insurance reform legislation and, for the first time in history, both the House of Representatives and Senate have approved comprehensive health reform legislation. This is the closest our Nation has been to resolving this issue in the nearly 100 years that it has been debated. \n  \n  \n  \n The Blair House meeting is the next step in this process.

As celebrities, including Jane Fonda and the film's stars Cher and Christina Aguilera , mingled around a rooftop pool, Chasen moved among the revelers with a songwriter whose work she was promoting.Ronni Chasen: An article in the Nov. 17 Section A about the fatal shooting of Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen in Beverly Hills incorrectly described a witness who heard gunshots. Nahid Shekarchian is a 33-year resident of the neighborhood, not 33 years old. The article also misspelled the last name of publicist Stan Rosenfield as Rosenfeld. \u2014\"She was happy-go-lucky and gossipy and fun, just like she always was,\" said Jim Dobson, a publicist who crossed paths with Chasen around midnight.Less than an hour and a half later, Chasen was dead, gunned down in her Mercedes in an assault that baffled police and made a woman who spent her career touting others, the talk of Hollywood. When word of the slaying broke, some studios canceled meetings and conference calls that had been scheduled to strategize their Oscar campaigns \u2014 Chasen's specialty. One publicist set up a reward fund and others closed their offices for the day.\"I'm devastated by this,\" said Academy Award-winning producer Richard Zanuck , who had worked with Chasen since 1982 and had talked to her earlier in the day about the awards season campaign for his movie \"Alice in Wonderland.\"Detectives with the Beverly Hills Police Department spent Tuesday trying to piece together the final minutes of Chasen's life and discern a motive for the killing of a 64-year-old single woman who, according to friends, had no enemies.\"She was not a drinker. She never did drugs\u2026. She had solid, really nice people as clients who became sort of her family,\" said New York publicist Kathie Berlin, a friend of 45 years.Chasen attended the movie premiere and after party with client Diane Warren , who wrote the song \"You Haven't Seen the Last of Me\" for the \"Burlesque\" soundtrack. Sometime after midnight, she steered her new E350 sedan away from the W Hotel in Hollywood, apparently en route to her Westwood condominium. At 12:28 a.m., residents of Whittier Drive, a quiet, tree-lined street often used as a cut through between Sunset and Wilshire boulevards, heard gunshots.Nahid Shekarchian, 33, said she was in her house on Whittier when she heard gunshots \u2014 \"boom-boom-boom\" \u2014 and opened the curtain of her upstairs bedroom to see a Mercedes crashed into a light pole. Shekarchian rushed to the car and peered through the shattered passenger's side window. She said she saw Chasen in the driver's seat bleeding profusely from her head and chest.Another neighbor, she said, walked to the window and asked, \"Can I help you?\" Shekarchian said Chasen was breathing \"very heavily\" and did not respond.Chasen was pronounced dead at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center at 1:30 a.m., according to the Los Angeles County coroner's office. Coroner's spokesman Ed Winter said she sustained multiple gunshot wounds to her chest.Shekarchian told police she didn't see anyone else in the vicinity. She said officers told her that the perpetrator might have been on foot.Beverly Hills police fanned out across the Westside on Tuesday in search of clues. Officers were seen removing computer hard drives, compact discs and file boxes from her luxury high-rise apartment. Investigators also searched her company, Chasen & Co., in West Hollywood. Police declined to say whether any of Chasen's belongings were missing from the vehicle.Beverly Hills Police Sgt. Lincoln Hoshino said the investigation remained open. Detectives were pursuing a range of possible scenarios, including one in which the perpetrator followed Chasen home from the hotel and another in which she was the victim of road rage.\"We don't know what the motive is,\" Hoshino said. \"This is a fresh, active investigation.\"Asked whether officers were reviewing video surveillance from businesses or the many mansions Chasen would have passed on her drive along Sunset, Hoshino said, \"The department will conduct a thorough investigation and that will be part of it.\"Investigators were questioning Chasen's friends and associates, many of whom had seen and talked to her in the hours before her death. Vivian Mayer-Siskind, a close friend for many years, said Chasen's employees told her that Chasen had called the office from her cellphone at 12:22 a.m. \u2014 six minutes before she was shot \u2014 leaving a to-do list for the following day on an answering machine.\"That was typical of Ronni,\" said Mayer-Siskind, referring to what she described as her tireless work ethic. ||||| Sponsored Links \n  \n (Nov. 16) -- Beverly Hills, Calif., police found the body of famed publicist Ronni Chasen, 64, inside her black Mercedes Benz E-350 when they arrived at the scene of a car crash early Tuesday monring.

Rick Scott signed a bill that will reinstitute the death penalty in Florida. The Orlando Sentinel's Gray Rohrer explains why Florida's death penalty law went off the rails and what the new law does to get it back on track. \n  \n No sanctuary: A House committee has passed a bill filed by state Rep. Larry Metz, R-Yalaha (pictured), that would crack down on so-called sanctuary cities, local governments that provide safe haven for immigrants who enter the country illegally.

Rick Scott over the state's system for getting voting rights back to felons. In Florida, felons lose the right to vote for life unless that right is given back to them by the state. The lawsuit doesn't argue that process is itself unconstitutional, but rather that the process by which the rights are given back is capricious, with no standards that give equal opportunity to all felons attempting to have their rights restored.

Rick Scott on Thursday afternoon after refusing to seek the death penalty in the case. \n  \n Aramis Ayala, the state attorney for the 9th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida, said earlier Thursday that her office would not seek the death penalty in any cases. \n  \n Loyd faces 11 counts, including murder and firearm charges, for allegedly killing his pregnant ex-girlfriend Sade Dixon and Orlando police Lt. Debra Clayton . Loyd's arrest followed an extensive manhunt. He was captured January 17 \n  \n Ayala's decision not to seek the death penalty for Loyd sparked immediate criticism from several Florida leaders, including Orlando Police Chief John Minda, who said he was \"extremely upset\" by it. Scott called on Ayala to recuse herself from the case midday Thursday. After she refused, Scott reassigned Loyd's case to 5th Circuit State Attorney Brad King, he said in a statement \n  \n \"[Ayala] has made it clear that she will not fight for justice and that is why I am using my executive authority to immediately reassign the case to State Attorney Brad King,\" Scott said. \"These families deserve a state attorney who will aggressively prosecute Markeith Loyd to the fullest extent of the law and justice must be served.\" \n  \n Death penalty not in the 'best interest' of the community \n  \n Earlier Thursday, Ayala said capital punishment in Florida had led to \"chaos, uncertainty, and turmoil.\" \n  \n She argued that evidence showed the death penalty was overly expensive, slow, inhumane and did not increase public safety. Ayala said after \"extensive and painstaking thought and consideration,\" she determined that pursing the death penalty \"is not in the best interest of this community or the best interest of justice.\" \n  \n \"Some victims will support and some will surely oppose my decision,\" she said. \"But I have learned that the death penalty traps many victims, families in a decadeslong cycle of uncertainty, court hearings, appeals and waiting.\" \n  \n The US Supreme Court ruled in January 2016 that the state's Capital punishment has been in limbo in Florida recently.The US Supreme Court ruled in January 2016 that the state's death penalty process was unconstitutional , and the state's high court ruled against a proposed fix to that law late last year. \n  \n On Tuesday, the governor signed a new death penalty bill, which was crafted to stand up to those legal challenges. \n  \n 'Right side of history' \n  \n Several organizations sided with Ayala. \n  \n \"Today's announcement is on the right side of history as momentum against the death penalty in the United States continues to build,\" Margaret Huang, executive director of Amnesty International USA, said in a statement. \n  \n Sherrilyn Ifill, president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund Inc., said Ayala's \"acknowledgment that the death penalty system is irreparably broken puts her at the forefront of smart-on-crime prosecutors,\" according to a statement. \n  \n The stance is significant because Orange County, where Ayala is a chief prosecutor, is among four of Florida's 67 counties that has produced more than five executions since 1976, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund said. \n  \n The county is also among 10 Florida counties that together account for half the state's death row population, the organization said. \n  \n Backlash to the decision \n  \n \"I have seen the video of Markeith Loyd executing Lt. Debra Clayton while she lay defenseless on the ground,\" Mina said. \n  \n Lt. Debra Clayton was shot and killed near a Walmart on January 9. \n  \n \"She was given no chance to live. A cop killer -- who also killed his pregnant girlfriend -- should not be given that chance. The heinous crimes that he committed in our community are the very reason we have the death penalty as an option under the law.\" \n  \n Loyd and Dixon had been involved in a relationship and had a child on the way, authorities said. He had been on the run since her fatal shooting at an Orlando residence. \n  \n Clayton received word January 9 that Loyd was near a Walmart and tried to confront him. \n  \n Mina said the suspect \"basically opened fire on\" Clayton as soon as she told him to stop and continued to shoot even after she was down. \n  \n State Attorney General Pam Bondi, a Republican, said it \"sends a dangerous message\" not to seek the death penalty. \n  \n \"It is a blatant neglect of duty and a shameful failure to follow the law as a constitutionally elected officer,\" Bondi said. \n  \n Shawn Dunlap, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Orlando Lodge 25, slammed the decision as an \"epic injustice.\" \n  \n \"The death penalty is the law of the land in the state of Florida, and I believe that if there ever was a case for its use this would be the one,\" Dunlap said. \n  \n Charges dropped against 2 accused accessories \n  \n Charges of acting as accessories after the fact against Zarghee Mayan and Jameis Slaughter were dropped, according to a review of an Orange County court docket. \n  \n Authorities said Mayan did not contact officials after meeting with Loyd, who allegedly told him he had killed Dixon. \n  \n Slaughter was accused of collecting money to give to Loyd, a former boyfriend, while police were searching for him, authorities said. \n  \n The court filing said the case is not suitable for prosecution. \n  \n Slaughter still faces a misdemeanor charge of giving police false information. She's accused of lying about her communication with Loyd while he was on the run. \n  \n Trials set \n  \n When asked to enter a plea this month, Loyd responded: \"For the record, I want to state that I am Markeith Loyd. Flesh and blood. I'm a human being. I'm not a fictitious person. I'm not a corporation,\" he said. \n  \n Chief Judge Frederick J. Lauten entered a not guilty plea on Loyd's behalf. \n  \n Loyd had a series of verbal outbursts when he questioned why the court placed charges against him. \n  \n Court documents indicate Loyd has not been diagnosed with a mental issue, has 10 years' worth of schooling and has a GED certificate. \n  \n A pretrial hearing for the Dixon case is set for April 17, Lauten said. Jury selection for that trial will begin on May 1. The case is expected to last about two weeks. \n  \n On June 19, Loyd will stand trial, accused of killing Clayton. A pretrial hearing is scheduled for June 12. \n  \n The next status hearing is scheduled for Monday. ||||| Photo via Orange County Jail \n  \n Orlando Police Chief John Mina says he's \"extremely upset\" that prosecutors won't seek the death penalty for Markeith Loyd, a man accused of killing his pregnant ex-girlfriend and fatally shooting an officer who tried to detain him.Mina released the statement on Twitter after speaking with Orange-Osceola State Attorney Aramis Ayala and confirming she would not pursue the death penalty for Loyd.\"I have seen the video of Markeith Loyd executing Lt. Debra Clayton while she lay defenseless on the ground,\" Mina says in the statement. \"She was given no chance to live.

The heinous crimes that he committed in our community are the very reason we have the death penalty as an option under the law.\"The 41-year-old suspect is accused of shooting and killing his former girlfriend Sade Dixon in December. After being on the run for a month, witnesses spotted Loyd at a Walmart on Princeton Street and alerted Orlando Police Lt. Debra Clayton. When she tried to stop him, Loyd ran away and turned around to fire at her. Clayton was hit, but she was able to return fire and retreat. Authorities say Loyd returned and shot Clayton in an \"execution-style\" manner before escaping. Police found Loyd hiding in an abandoned home a week later and eventually took him to the Orange County jail, where he's been held since January. Loyd has been acting as his own attorney during appearances in front of a judge.Shawn Dunlap, president of Orlando's police union, also criticized Ayala's decision on Facebook \"This would be an epic injustice to the family of Lt. Debra Clayton as well as every single law enforcement Officer in the 9th Judicial Circuit,\" he writes. \"The death penalty is the law of the land in the state of Florida, and I believe that if there ever was a case for its use this would be the one. Not only did Loyd kill Lt. Clayton, he killed his girlfriend, her unborn child and his manhunt directly caused the death of Deputy Norm Lewis.\"Dunlap suggested Ayala was not seeking the death penalty for Loyd because during her 2016 campaign against then-State Attorney Jeff Ashton, a political action committee linked to liberal billionaire George Soros poured thousands of dollars into her campaign.\"I believe we are quickly seeing the results of the $819,734 that anti-death penalty, progressive liberal George Soros' spent to assure the candidate who aligns with his philosophy won the race for State Attorney,\" Dunlap says. \"There is no shortage of reports of how Soros has manipulated political races across the country.\" |||||\nWhat is a summary?", "targets": "\u2013 Orlando's police chief said this week he was \"extremely upset\" to hear prosecutors wouldn't be going for the death penalty in the case of a man accused of killing a cop and his own ex-girlfriend, the Orlando Weekly reports. Those feelings may be soothed after hearing Florida Gov. Rick Scott's latest news: that he's reassigned Markeith Loyd's case to another attorney in a nearby district, USA Today reports. Instead of State Attorney Aramis Ayala of Orange County's 9th Judicial Circuit Court handling the first-degree murder probe, State Attorney Brad King will be taking on the case instead after Ayala refused to recuse herself, per a release from Scott's office. \"These families deserve a state attorney who will aggressively prosecute Markeith Loyd to the fullest extent of the law,\" said Scott, who added he was \"outraged\" and \"sickened\" by the murders Loyd is accused of. Loyd has been hit with 11 counts of murder and firearm charges, among others, after allegedly killing his pregnant ex, Sade Dixon, in December, then gunning down Orlando Lt. Debra Clayton in January, per CNN. Ayala had noted before she was kicked off the case that, after \"painstaking thought,\" she'd decided not to seek capital punishment in any cases, as she doesn't think it's effective or humane. \"The death penalty traps many victims, families in a decades-long cycle of uncertainty,\" she noted, just two days after Scott signed a bill reinstituting the Florida death penalty, per the Sun Sentinel. While human rights groups like Amnesty International took Ayala's side, Orlando Police Chief John Mina railed against her in a statement, noting \"heinous crimes\" like the one Loyd is accused of \"are the very reason\" for capital punishment.

Even so, movement along sections of the M-10 highway largely was limited to foot traffic, not vehicular traffic, as trucks and cars sat motionless. \n  \n Efforts to clear roads had some impact by early evening, by which time tie-ups were down to 34 miles along the M-10 highway, reported the State Automobile Inspectorate, a division of Russia's Interior Ministry. The length of the traffic jam was shrinking about three-fourths of a mile every hour, a spokesman for that agency told the state news outlet. \n  \n That is an improvement, but still a far cry from the \"normalization\" of traffic that Russia's Emergencies Ministry said would occur by 6 p.m. Sunday, according to RIA Novosti. \n  \n An Emergencies Ministry spokesman reported that, by then, one lane in each direction of the M-10 was clear of snow -- allowing trucks to creep along at 5-10 kph (3-6 mph). \n  \n Blame for the slow slog goes, at least in part, to bad weather. The traffic headaches began Friday, when heavy snow began falling in western Russia.

Others said some gas stations had run out of fuel, or grumbled that authorities weren't much help. \n  \n Video showed an inflatable tent popped up on the side of highway, with tables inside full of people filling up on food and drinks. In addition to hot food and warming stations, the RIA Novosti report noted the Emergencies Ministry was making psychological support available to those having trouble coping with the days-long traffic nightmare. \n  \n \"(Emergencies Minister Vladmir Puchkov) is making sure that all necessary measures are being taken and that all vital personnel in afflicted regions have everything they need,\" a ministry spokesman said. |||||\nWhat is a one-paragraph summary of the above article?", "targets": "\u2013 And you thought your commute was bad: Snow in Russia caused an insane traffic jam this weekend, with thousands of cars and trucks stuck on a major highway yesterday.

The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings. \n  \n Infrared readings from a space telescope confirm that water vapor is rising from the surface of Ceres, and that discovery is likely to heat up interest in a strange world that's the biggest asteroid as well as the smallest known dwarf planet. \n  \n The find comes just in time. Next year, NASA's Dawn spacecraft is due to go into orbit around Ceres and is likely to address some of the questions raised in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature: Where is the water vapor coming from? How is it getting into space? And what are the implications for Ceres' place in the solar system? \n  \n \"This is what you might call the 'smoking gun,'\" Mark Sykes, CEO and director of the Arizona-based Planetary Science Institute, told NBC News. \"The implications could be huge for the future of astrobiology and planetary exploration.\" \n  \n Sykes wasn't involved in the Nature study, which is based on data from the European Space Agency's Herschel Space Observatory. Nevertheless, Ceres is close to his heart: He's a co-investigator on the $466 million Dawn mission and has long suggested that the dwarf planet might possess subsurface liquid water \u2014 and perhaps even traces of life. \n  \n Reservoirs of water \n  \n The findings from Herschel don't go nearly that far, but they do provide the strongest evidence yet that Ceres contains reservoirs of water ice. Past missions turned up indirect evidence for water, but nothing conclusive. It took Herschel's sensitive HIFI infrared detector to pick up the spectral signature of water vapor, apparently emanating from two dark spots on Ceres' surface. \n  \n  \n  \n \"Possibly, the dark regions are warmer than the average surface, resulting in efficient sublimation of small water-ice reservoirs,\" the researchers, led by ESA's Michael K\u00fcppers, wrote in the Nature paper. (Ice can consist of different ingredients on different worlds: Mars, for example, has water ice as well as carbon dioxide ice.) \n  \n K\u00fcppers and his colleagues estimated that Ceres was giving off about 13.2 pounds (6 kilograms) of water vapor per second. If that much vapor were condensed into liquid, it would amount to a little more than a gallon and a half (6 liters) of water. \n  \n The researchers speculate that the water vapor could come from a cometlike layer of surface ice, or from volcanoes that eject ice instead of lava. \n  \n \"The cryovolcanism hypothesis requires a warm interior, and it is possible there there is a layer of water (subsurface ocean) somewhere,\" K\u00fcppers told NBC News in an email. \"In the cometary sublimation scenario, there is 'just' an ice layer that is locally close to the surface and heated by the sun. In this case, there may be conditions for liquid water somewhere in the interior as well, if pressure and temperature happen to be right.\" \n  \n Implications of an ocean \n  \n The researchers saw more evidence for the comet hypothesis, based on the fact that the signature of water vapor became stronger when Ceres came closer to the sun in its orbit. However, there's not yet enough data to settle the matter. Dawn's observations should provide the required data. \n  \n  \n  \n Ceres is the biggest object in the main asteroid belt that lies between Mars and Jupiter, orbiting at a distance of about 257 million miles (414 million kilometers) from the sun. Like Pluto, Ceres is considered a dwarf planet because it's massive enough to take on a round shape. \n  \n K\u00fcppers said his group's findings lend weight to the idea that impacting asteroids and comets contributed water to the early Earth's oceans. And if Ceres really does harbor a subsurface ocean \u2014 something that the Jovian moon Europa and the Saturnian moon Enceladus are already thought to possess \u2014 that could strengthen the argument for life on Ceres. \n  \n  \n  \n \"This raises the possibility that Ceres could replace Europa as the prime target for planetary investigation,\" Sykes said. \"It's going to upend the cart a bit, but that's science.\" \n  \n  \n  \n More about Ceres: \n  \n In addition to K\u00fcppers, the authors of \"Localized Sources of Water Vapour on the Dwarf Planet (1) Ceres\" include Laurence O'Rourke, Dominique Bockelee-Morvan, Vladimir Zakharov, Seungwon Lee, Paul von Allmen, Benoit Carry, David Teyssier, Anthony Marston, Thomas M\u00fcller, Jacques Crovisier, M.

Depending on your definition, it\u2019s either the largest asteroid or the smallest dwarf planet -- but for a few glorious decades in the 1800s, the rocky sphere was a full planet in the solar system's pantheon. \n  \n Now, astronomers have discovered water vapor steaming off this mysterious little planetoid \u2013- and the discovery, published in the journal Nature, could have fascinating implications for the evolution of our solar system. \n  \n \u201cNow we have really for the first time discovered water in the asteroid belt,\u201d said lead author Michael K\u00fcppers, a planetary scientist based in Spain with the European Space Agency. \n  \n Ceres sits in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter \u2013- and it\u2019s the only dwarf planet in the inner solar system. It\u2019s 590 miles wide and roughly spherical, which is part of why it's considered somewhat planet-like \u2013- like Pluto, it's massive enough for its own gravity to crush it into a more or less spherical shape. \n  \n But Ceres soon lost its title as full planet when astronomers realized that its rocky body wasn\u2019t alone: It was sitting in a vast field of rocky bodies, or asteroids. Ceres was named the first and the largest among them. \n  \n K\u00fcppers had been looking to do a little reconnaissance work on Ceres before NASA\u2019s Dawn mission visits the planetoid next year. The major question hovering around the dwarf planet: Was it rich in water, or not? \n  \n Ceres\u2019 relatively low density told astronomers that it could potentially have a high amount of water ice stored away. Astronomers in the 1990s picked up the chemical fingerprint of hydroxyl -\u2013 a fragment of the water molecule -\u2013 in the light coming from Ceres, but a study in 2011 with more sensitive instruments could not back that claim up. \n  \n But using the European Space Agency\u2019s powerful Herschel Space Observatory, K\u00fcppers and his team were able to look for the chemical fingerprint of full water molecules, which gave them a much stronger signal. They spotted clear signs of water coming from two separate dark spots, on roughly opposite sides of the little world. \n  \n Water was coming off Ceres at a rate of 6 kilograms, or about 13 pounds, per second -\u2013 and the scientists think there could be so much ice packed in the dwarf planet\u2019s mantle that its melted contents would add up to more fresh water than we have on Earth. \n  \n The scientists aren\u2019t exactly sure how the ice is stored on Ceres or how it's escaping as vapor. It could be that some residual internal heat is causing the water to rise up and explode into geyser-like blasts of water vapor -- not liquid, as liquid water requires a thicker atmosphere (like Earth's) to remain stable. It could also simply be that exposed ice on the surface in these two areas is sublimating from a solid to a gas when the sun hits it. \n  \n Whatever the mechanism, the larger question remains: Why is Ceres so wet? \n  \n \u201cOne of the most puzzling questions about the origin and evolution of asteroids is why Vesta and Ceres are so different,\u201d Humberto Campins and Christine Comfort of the University of Central Florida wrote in a commentary on the Nature paper. \n  \n After all, Ceres is roughly the same distance from the sun as the lumpy asteroid Vesta, which is volcanic and bone dry. So how did Ceres hold onto this water when Vesta did not? \n  \n It turns out Ceres may not be native to this part of the solar system. It probably originated somewhere beyond the \u2018snow line\u2019 -- that imaginary boundary in the solar system beyond which water ice can exist in space, largely out of the reach of the sun\u2019s rays. \n  \n Ceres may have been one of the wanderers set loose in a major migration in the solar system\u2019s history. Massive Jupiter, for example, is thought to have traveled both closer in and then farther out from the sun than where it started -\u2013 and its gravitational influence yanked the other planets around the solar system and left scars in the asteroid belt. \n  \n The icy asteroid also supports the idea that asteroids aren't as dry as expected, K\u00fcppers said. Icy comets are the usual suspect for having brought water to Earth, but it could just as well have been an asteroid, he said. \n  \n Answering more questions about Ceres, and what it can tell planetary scientists about the solar system\u2019s history, will have to wait. The Herschel Space Telescope ran out of the coolant needed to keep its instruments working last year. But researchers won\u2019t have to wait too long: NASA\u2019s Dawn spacecraft, now that it\u2019s done exploring Vesta, will reach Ceres in spring 2015 and give scientists a close look at this strange, distant world. \n  \n \u201cI\u2019m excited to see what Dawn is going to find out,\u201d said K\u00fcppers, who works on the space agency\u2019s comet-hunting Rosetta mission. \n  \n ALSO: \n  \n The secret to dolphin speed?

Trump has argued that he has extensive experience with foreign policy through his career as a business executive and blames Clinton for many of the nation's stumbles in foreign policy. \n  \n Meanwhile, the candidates deployed their top supporters to the Sunday shows to take early jabs at their opponents and lower expectations for a showdown expected to draw 75 million viewers \u2014 many of them disenchanted with both candidates, the least-popular presidential hopefuls in history. \n  \n Facts and who will determine them during the 90-minute debate seemed to be a top concern of the campaigns' strategists given Trump's habit of saying things that are untrue and the public's general distrust of Clinton. \n  \n Robby Mook, Clinton's campaign manager, told ABC's \"This Week\" that he is concerned Trump will continue his habit of sometimes saying things that aren't true and still get a passing grade. He called on moderator Lester Holt to correct any inaccuracies made by the candidates. But Trump's campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, said it's not the job of debate moderators to fact check. \n  \n Trump's vice presidential running mate, Mike Pence, meanwhile, said that Gennifer Flowers will not attend the debate. Trump had tweeted that if frequent Trump critic Mark Cuban attended the showdown, he'd put Flowers, allegedly the former mistress of Clinton's husband Bill, in the audience too. Conway said that Flowers had a right to be there if \"somebody else gives her a ticket.\" But Pence drew a harder line. \n  \n \"Gennifer Flowers will not be attending the debate tomorrow night,\" Pence said on \"Fox News Sunday.\" \n  \n The candidates were focused on other matters Sunday. \n  \n Trump's campaign said that during his meeting with Netanyahu, the Republican presidential nominee promised, \"extraordinary strategic, technological, military and intelligence cooperation between the two countries\" if he's elected. \n  \n The press was barred from covering the meeting between Netanyahu and Trump, but Trump's campaign said in a statement that the men, who have known each other for years, discussed \"many topics important to both countries,\" including \"the special relationship between America and Israel and the unbreakable bond between the two countries.\" \n  \n Among those topics: the nuclear deal with Iran, the battle against Islamic State militants, military assistance provided by the U.S. to Israel and other security issues. \n  \n ___ \n  \n Kellman reported from Washington.

Clinton was also expected to meet Netanyahu in New York on the eve of the debate. \n  \n \"Trump acknowledged that Jerusalem has been the eternal capital of the Jewish people for over 3,000 years, and that the US, under a Trump administration, will finally accept the long-standing congressional mandate to recognise Jerusalem as the undivided capital of the state of Israel,\" his campaign said in a statement. \n  \n Israel captured the Arab eastern half of Jerusalem during the 1967 Arab-Israeli war and annexed it in 1980, declaring all of Jerusalem Israel's unified capital. \n  \n The United States, and most other United Nations member countries, do not recognise the annexation and consider Jerusalem's final status to be a key issue to be resolved in peace negotiations with the Palestinians. \n  \n The US Congress passed a law in October 1995 calling for an undivided Jerusalem to be recognised as Israel's capital and to authorise funding for moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. \n  \n But no US president, Democrat or Republican, has implemented the law, regarding it as an infringement on the executive branch's authority over foreign policy. \n  \n No mention by Netanyahu \n  \n Netanyahu's office issued a statement about the hour-long meeting but made no mention of Trump's pledge on Jerusalem. \n  \n \"Prime Minister Netanyahu discussed with Mr Trump issues relating to Israel's security and its efforts to achieve stability and peace in the Middle East,\" it said. \n  \n The Trump statement said he promised Netanyahu that Washington would provide Israel with \"extraordinary strategic, technological and military cooperation\" if he is elected. \n  \n Netanyahu's meetings with Trump and Clinton come after the US recently completed a 10-year, $38bn military aid package for Israel. \n  \n Clinton said in a statement that it would help \"solidify and chart a course for the US-Israeli defence relationship in the 21st century as we face a range of common challenges\". ||||| Jerusalem: Before 1967 \n  \n The armistice line drawn at the end of the 1948 war divided Jerusalem into two. Between 1949 and 1967, Israel controlled the western part of Jerusalem, while Jordan took the eastern part, including the old walled city containing important Jewish, Muslim and Christian religious sites. \n  \n Jerusalem: After 1967 \n  \n Israel captured the whole of Jerusalem in 1967 and extended the city's municipal boundaries, putting both East and West Jerusalem under its sovereignty and civil law. In 1980 Israel passed a law making its annexation of East Jerusalem explicit. The city's status remains disputed, with Israel's occupation of East Jerusalem considered illegal under international law. Israel is determined that Jerusalem be its undivided capital, while Palestinians are seeking to establish their capital in East Jerusalem. |||||"}

It\u2019s probably just a Google employee testing the company\u2019s new augmented-reality glasses. \n  \n On Wednesday, Google gave people a clearer picture of its secret initiative called Project Glass. The glasses are the company\u2019s first venture into wearable computing. \n  \n The glasses are not yet for sale. Google will, however, be testing them in public. \n  \n In a post shared on Google Plus, employees in the company laboratory known as Google X, including Babak Parviz, Steve Lee and Sebastian Thrun, asked people for input about the prototype of Project Glass. Mr. Lee, a Google product manager and originally worked on Google mapping software Latitude, mobile maps and indoor maps, is responsible for the software component and the location-based aspects of the glasses. \n  \n \u201cWe\u2019re sharing this information now because we want to start a conversation and learn from your valuable input,\u201d the three employees wrote. \u201cPlease follow along as we share some of our ideas and stories. We\u2019d love to hear yours, too. What would you like to see from Project Glass?\u201d \n  \n The prototype version Google showed off on Wednesday looked like a very polished and well-designed pair of wrap-around glasses with a clear display that sits above the eye. The glasses can stream information to the lenses and allow the wearer to send and receive messages through voice commands. There is also a built-in camera to record video and take pictures. \n  \n The New York Times first wrote about the glasses in late February, describing an augmented-reality display that would sit over the eye and run on the Android mobile platform. \n  \n A video released by Google on Wednesday, which can be seen below, showed potential uses for Project Glass. A man wanders around the streets of New York City, communicating with friends, seeing maps and information, and snapping pictures. It concludes with him video-chatting with a girlfriend as the sun sets over the city. All of this is seen through the augmented-reality glasses. \n  \n University of Washington \n  \n Project Glass could hypothetically become Project Contact Lens. Mr. Parviz, who is also an associate professor at the University of Washington, specializes in bionanotechnology, which is the fusion of tiny technologies and biology. He most recently built a tiny contact lens that has embedded electronics and can display pixels to a person\u2019s eye. \n  \n Early reports of the glasses said prototypes could look like a pair of Oakley Thumps \u2014 which are clunky and obtrusive sunglasses \u2014 but the version Google unveiled Wednesday looks more graceful. There are reportedly dozens of other shapes and variations of the glasses in the works, some of which can sit over a person\u2019s normal eyeglasses. \n  \n People I have spoken with who have have seen Project Glass said there is a misconception that the glasses will interfere with people\u2019s daily life too much, constantly streaming information to them and distracting from the real world. But these people said the glasses actually free people up from technology. \n  \n One person who had used the glasses said: \u201cThey let technology get out of your way. If I want to take a picture I don\u2019t have to reach into my pocket and take out my phone; I just press a button at the top of the glasses and that\u2019s it.\u201d \n  \n Project Glass is one of many projects currently being built inside the Google X offices, a secretive laboratory near Google\u2019s main Mountain View, Calif., campus where engineers and scientists are also working on robots and space elevators. ||||| Google is developing a wearable smartphone screen as part of its 'Project Glass' initiative. \n  \n NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Siri is about to get one-upped by Google. \n  \n The company on Wednesday unveiled a long-rumored concept called \"Project Glass,\" which takes all the functionality of a smartphone and places it into a wearable device that resembles eyeglasses. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n The see-through lens could display everything from text messages to maps to reminders. They may be capable of showing video chats, providing turn-by-turn directions, taking photos and recording notes -- all through simple voice commands, according to a concept video produced by the company and released on YouTube. \n  \n Project Glass is nowhere near complete, and Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) says it only went public with its effort to gather outside feedback. The stealth project has been in development for two years by a small team of engineers. \n  \n The \"heads-up display\" glasses were born in Google's Google X lab, which is the same future-thinking research facility that developed a driverless car and is working on a space elevator. \n  \n Google has no timeline for when the device will go on sale, but Google X engineers are beginning to use prototypes outside of the lab's walls. \n  \n One thing they're working on in field tests: The researchers haven't yet decided whether the glasses should be stand-alone or be wirelessly powered by a smartphone. \n  \n The precise look and feel of the hardware and software is still in the early design phase, but Google produced a concept design that looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. They're not quite what you'd see on RoboCop or Geordi LaForge, but they'll never be mistaken for normal eyeglasses either. \n  \n The Google concept shows a video camera and a small piece of glass over the right eye, with no lens on the left. That half-and-half design was an intentional choice. \n  \n \"We think technology should work for you -- to be there when you need it and get out of your way when you don't,\" the company said on its Google+ page. \n  \n The software design appears a lot cleaner than the hardware, with friendly icons and unobtrusive notifications. But Google's concept video portrays perhaps the loneliest vision of the future ever. \n  \n A man starts his morning by putting his glasses on, then goes through most of his day talking to himself, without actually interacting with anyone face-to-face, save one friendly pat of a bulldog and a super-quick visit to a coffee truck with a buddy. \n  \n A notification delivered in the morning to \"See Jess tonight at 6:30 p.m.\" turns out not to be an actual date, but a video chat. As the sun sets, Google's protagonist remotely serenades his friend's avatar with a ukulele. \n  \n What Google's final version will look like -- and whether it will actually end up on store shelves -- is anyone's guess. \n  \n But Google X's futuristic sketch proves that those little plastic rectangles we've been accustomed to communicating through could soon be outdated technology. ||||| Smartphones have Google Goggles, an image-recognition search app, but consumers may one day have \u201cGoogle glasses.\u201d Google has introduced Project Glass, a concept for glasses that integrate directly with Google services. It may sound like a silly project, but there\u2019s a reason the device makes sense. \n  \n Smartphones already have Google Goggles, an image-recognition search app, but consumers may one day have \u201cGoogle glasses.\u201d The search company publicly introduced Project Glass on Wednesday, a concept for wearable glasses that integrate directly with Google services. \n  \n Google is sharing this video to kickstart ideas and gather feedback for the connected, wearable device concept. It may sound like a silly project, but when you think about it, the device actually makes sense. \n  \n The initial design vision is for lightweight frames that don\u2019t actually have full-sized, traditional glass lenses. Instead, a small display is available up and to the outside of the right eye so that information doesn\u2019t interfere with viewing the world around. And as shown in the video, there would be some type of eye-tracking mechanism allowing users to interact with data on the small display \u2014 similar to a touchpad tap \u2014 although much of the interface could be controlled through spoken commands. \n  \n  \n  \n 1 / 5 1 / 5 1 / 5 1 / 5 1 / 5 Next Previous \n  \n As silly as the idea may look or sound to some, I find merit in the approach, as it seems like a logical next step. We have gone from immobile desktops to portable laptops and now we are toting tablets and pocketable smartphones. Where can we go from here if not to the growing number of connected, wearable gadgets that we have been reporting on for well over a year? \n  \n From a consumer perspective, Project Glass also forwards another theme that has been growing. Touchable user interfaces have reinvented how we use mobile devices, but hardware design is advancing to the point where the interfaces are starting to disappear. Instead of holding an iPad or other tablet, people are interacting directly with an app, Web page, photo or other digital object in a reduced interface, with either voice or minute gestures. In essence, such glasses would allow people to digitally interact with the physical world around them without a device or user interface getting in the way. \n  \n This quote, told to the New York Times from someone who tried the glasses, says it better than I can: \n  \n They let technology get out of your way. If I want to take a picture I don\u2019t have to reach into my pocket and take out my phone; I just press a button at the top of the glasses and that\u2019s it. \n  \n I expect that any first-production version of these glasses would heavily leverage a smartphone\u2019s connectivity, much like many smart watches do today. The glasses would likely have a low-powered wireless connection to a phone, which would provide Internet connectivity, a place to store photos or a way to shoot them to the cloud, a GPS for location purposes, and so on. \n  \n Think of these spectacles as the next iteration of a smartphone, just one that you can wear and not look geeky. Well, not too geeky anyway. I\u2019m all for wearable gadgets, so if Google is looking for beta testers, I\u2019m in. How about you? |||||Summary:", "targets": "\u2013 That report in the New York Times several weeks ago was right on the money: Google is working on a pair of \"eyeglasses\" that functions as a computer of sorts.

{"inputs": "Summarize this article:\n\nUPLAND, Calif. \u2014 The long road to Lance Armstrong \u2019s downfall began here, across the world from the French Alps where he climbed to the pinnacle of cycling, at a strip-mall tattoo parlor in the foothills east of Los Angeles. \n  \n Covered in ink from his legs to his neck, Kayle Leogrande, the owner of this shop, competed full time as a professional cyclist for only a couple of years. He met Armstrong only once, he said, at a 2005 race in Ojai, Calif. \n  \n \u201cI talked to him briefly after the race,\u201d Leogrande, now 35, said. \u201cI\u2019m sure he thought, \u2018Who is this stupid tattooed guy?\u2019 \u201d \n  \n But whether Armstrong remembered this tattooed guy or not, their fates would soon become intertwined. \n  \n Four years ago, the United States Anti-Doping Agency suspended Leogrande for using a blood-boosting hormone known as EPO. His case grew into the lengthy investigation that culminated in Armstrong\u2019s lifetime ban from the sport. \n  \n \u201cWhen I see what\u2019s going on with Lance now, I have to laugh to myself a little bit,\u201d Leogrande said as he sat in his shop this week, still dumbfounded that he played a pivotal role in the fall of one of the most accomplished cyclists in history. \n  \n Travis Tygart, chief executive of the antidoping agency, said Leogrande\u2019s doping sparked a series of events that led the agency and federal investigators to Armstrong and his United States Postal Service team. \n  \n \u201cWithout Leogrande, who knows, the Armstrong investigation maybe never would have happened,\u201d Tygart said. \n  \n Just a few years ago, that kind of connection would have seemed impossible. In 2004, as Armstrong was wrapping up the sixth of his seven consecutive Tour de France titles, Leogrande had not touched a bike in years. \n  \n A high-level cyclist as a teenager, he gave up racing at 17. He married, had children, divorced and worked at a series of tattoo parlors. \n  \n But after watching Armstrong on television in that 2004 Tour, Leogrande began riding again. Despite his long layoff, he was still a talented rider, and the next year, he was signed by a professional team. \n  \n By this point, however, the landscape of competitive cycling had shifted drastically from the one Leogrande had departed a decade earlier. When he began to race competitively again, other professionals started talking to him about doping. \n  \n \u201cThey would just talk about it in the way that most people would talk about eating healthy,\u201d Leogrande said. \u201cI immediately knew I shouldn\u2019t do it. I knew there would be consequences. But I was strangely attracted to it at the same time.\u201d \n  \n He added, \u201cI wanted to see what the effect would be.\u201d \n  \n Leogrande said he first bought EPO in late 2006 from Joe Papp, a former pro cyclist who has since pleaded guilty to distributing performance-enhancing drugs. Without a doctor to advise him, Leogrande was not sure how much EPO to take, or when to take it. The first few times he took it, he said, it left him feeling as if he had the flu. \n  \n In 2007, he signed with the Rock Racing team, where he was introduced to former teammates of Armstrong\u2019s. He also began doping more regularly, he said. \n  \n Leogrande said he continually felt like a child skipping school. After training rides, he would study every car parked by his house, worried that drug-testing officials were waiting for him. \n  \n But improved results followed. After leaving his professional team, he won the amateur national championship in 2006, then finished in the top 10 in the professional division at the national championships in 2007. Racing in the Tour de France suddenly seemed close enough to taste. \n  \n \u201cThat was the year I felt like I could do anything I wanted on a bike,\u201d Leogrande said. \u201cI could climb with the climbers. I could win a sprint.\u201d \n  \n But during a race in July, he was required to take a drug test. Worried that he would fail, he confided in one of his team\u2019s assistants, Suzanne Sonye, the soigneur, about his doping. \n  \n \u201cI remember thinking she was O.K. with it because that\u2019s what cyclists did,\u201d Leogrande said. \u201cI was na\u00efve. I knew cyclists on other teams that did it, and we would talk about it. But Suzanne wasn\u2019t O.K. with it.\u201d ||||| That casual confession \u2014 not the drug test \u2014 opened a Pandora\u2019s box. Though Leogrande had no firsthand knowledge of Armstrong\u2019s doping, the confession provided the initial thread that would lead investigators to others who did. \n  \n Leogrande\u2019s drug test did not come back positive. But Sonye reported his confession to the antidoping agency. Her testimony, and evidence provided by Papp \u2014 photographs of Leogrande with EPO and a handwritten note \u2014 sank Leogrande. \n  \n At the end of 2008, the antidoping agency suspended him for two years based on \u201cnonanalytical\u201d evidence, rather than failed drug tests. \n  \n Soon after the suspension he moved out of the house he had been renting, leaving behind a box of EPO in the refrigerator. When his landlady found it, he said, she called and asked him what she should do with the \u201cbox of drugs.\u201d \n  \n Depressed, with his biking career derailed and his second marriage on the cusp of divorce, Leogrande said he did not care \u2014 even after she threatened to call the authorities. He did not try to stop her, or go back and pick up the box and dispose of it. He told her, \u201cDo what you need to do.\u201d \n  \n She called the Food and Drug Administration. A few weeks later, Leogrande said, Jeff Novitzky, the F.D.A. investigator who had connected several high-profile athletes to steroids, including Marion Jones and Barry Bonds, showed up at his door. \n  \n Leogrande talked. He said he told Novitzky what he knew about doping in cycling, without naming names. \n  \n Novitzky had just begun his investigation into doping in professional cycling. But already, Leogrande said, he asked about Armstrong. \n  \n \u201cHe would ask, \u2018Do you think Lance is doing this?\u2019 \u201d Leogrande said. \u201cI would tell him: \u2018He\u2019s racing in these barbaric cycling races in Europe. If you were a rider at that level, what would you do?\u2019 \u201d \n  \n More than a year later, in spring 2010, Floyd Landis, one of Armstrong\u2019s former teammates, had come clean about his own doping, telling officials from the antidoping agency that he and other top riders, including Armstrong, had doped while on the Postal Service team. Landis also said he had information that Michael Ball, the team owner of Rock Racing, was involved in doping. \n  \n Those antidoping officials suggested that Landis reach out to Novitzky with information about Ball, because a criminal investigation into Rock Racing was ensuing. They also said he should tell them what he knew about doping on the Postal Service squad. \n  \n After that initial connection was made between Landis and Novitzky, federal agents began knocking on the doors of other former Armstrong teammates, some of whom later testified against Armstrong. \n  \n As the case moved slowly toward Armstrong, Leogrande had his own legal problems. \n  \n While he was still part of the Rock Racing team, he sued the antidoping agency and brought a defamation case against Sonye. When the lawsuit against Sonye was dismissed, the court ordered him to pay her legal fees, a crippling sum, he said. \n  \n Leogrande served his suspension. He focused on tattooing. And last year, after admitting that he had doped \u2014 \u201cI even called Usada and apologized,\u201d he said \u2014 he began racing again on a new team that he founded. \n  \n He knows he will never race in the Tour de France. But now, he said, he views his suspension in part as a blessing, for allowing him to regain perspective and spend more time with his children. \n  \n \u201cI\u2019m happy with where I\u2019m at,\u201d he said. \u201cI knew better the whole time, just like I\u2019m sure Lance knew better.\u201d |||||", "targets": "\u2013 When professional cyclist and tattoo artist Kayle Leogrande was busted for doping, he never imagined it would lead to the downfall of one of the most celebrated bikers of all time. But that's pretty much what happened, explains the New York Times. The heavily tatted biker was an aspiring cyclist as a teen, but took a break\u2014until he was inspired by Armstrong in the 2004 Tour de France. He signed on with a pro team and soon discovered that doping was ubiquitous in the sport. He joined in. Leogrande got suspended (thanks to his own confession, not a failed test), in 2008. When he left behind drugs in the freezer of an old apartment, his landlord called the feds, who questioned Leogrande about the sport in general and Armstrong in particular. Asked if he thought Armstrong doped, he recalls responding, \"If you were a rider at that level, what would you do?\" It wasn't long before the FDA started interviewing Armstrong's teammates.

In a strongly worded complaint, the plaintiffs cite \"extreme and catastrophic injuries and emotional distress\" resulting from the flight crew's \"woeful violation of numerous international and United States airline industry standards,\" the Wall Street Journal reports. Their lawyer calls the crew's behavior \"egregiously reckless and negligent,\" noting that \"these pilots were unable to do the most basic task\u2014land on a runway in the middle of a clear day with no wind.\" Expect more lawsuits to come, the AP notes: A Chicago law firm has filed a petition for discovery following the crash\u2014an effort to preserve evidence. That comes ahead of a potential suit against Boeing; the law firm, Ribbeck Law Chartered, says the plane's autothrottle may be to blame in the disaster. The firm says it may also take action against Asiana and other parts makers. Asiana itself had threatened to sue a San Francisco TV station for the racist fake names in a report on the crash. But KTVU-TV has apologized, and now Asiana says it won't take the station to court, the AP reports. In other AP news: Under a safety consulting program, South Korea asked the airline to \"review its safety policies\" two months before the crash, says a transport ministry official. With Asiana planning an expansion, authorities urged the company to boost the hiring of pilots, engineers, and cabin crews, the official notes. The flight's four pilots have been hospitalized over health concerns both physical and psychological, South Korea says; they could face more questioning tomorrow depending on their conditions.\n\nExpand this summary.", "targets": "Asiana Airlines said Wednesday it no longer plans to sue a San Francisco TV station over the use of racially offensive names. \n  \n The South Korean air carrier said that KTVU-TV has already apologized for using fake names for four pilots on a plane that crashed in San Francisco on July 6. It will no longer sue, as it had said it would do. \n  \n Asiana says it wants to focus on supporting passengers and families. The crash killed three and injured dozens. \n  \n Last week, an anchor for KTVU-TV read the fake names _ apparently someone's idea of a prank to use fake Asian-style names that sounded out distress calls and curse words _ on air and then apologized after a break. \n  \n Asiana earlier said the report seriously damaged its reputation. It said Monday that it would sue the TV station to respond to the racially discriminatory report that disparaged Asians. ||||| Two passengers aboard the Asiana Airlines flight that crashed while landing in San Francisco have sued the carrier, claiming they suffered \"extreme and catastrophic injuries and emotional distress\" as a result of the accident. \n  \n The suit is believed to be the first following the July 6 crash. A lawyer for Asiana didn't respond to a request for comment. \n  \n Asiana flight 214 hit a sea wall in front of a runway at San Francisco International Airport and skidded to a stop before catching fire. Three passengers died and dozens more were injured. \n  \n In their initial probe, National Transportation Safety Board investigators didn't find evidence of equipment malfunctions, agency Chairman Deborah Hersman said last week. The agency was looking into whether the pilots had received adequate training, according to people familiar with the investigation. \n  \n Asiana officials have repeatedly said the pilots were both highly experienced and the airline's training programs meet all international and South Korean requirements. \n  \n The lawsuit was filed in San Francisco federal court by Younga Jun Machorro and her son, Benjamin Hyo-Ik Machorro. Also joining the suit was Hector Machorro, the husband of Younga and father of Benjamin, who wasn't aboard the flight. He claims losses stemming from his wife's injuries. \n  \n \"The conduct of Asiana's flight crew was egregiously reckless and negligent,\" said Michael Verna of Bowles & Verna LLP, the Walnut Creek, Calif., lawyers for the plaintiffs. \"These pilots were unable to do the most basic task\u2014land on a runway in the middle of a clear day with no wind.\" \n  \n Mr. Verna said that both Ms. Machorro and her son were treated at San Francisco General Hospital after the crash. X-rays revealed no broken bones, said Mr. Verna, but both suffered injuries to their backs and were still undergoing treatment. \n  \n Under an international treaty, Asiana, of South Korea, is liable for up to $150,000 in damages per injured passenger\u2014damages that likely would be paid by the airline's insurers, legal experts said. Passengers might recover more if they can show the airline was at fault for the crash, as the Machorros allege. \n  \n The crash \"occurred due to the gross negligence and recklessness of the Asiana flight crew on Flight 214,\" reads the complaint, \"in woeful violation of numerous international and United States airline industry standards and established flight rules.\" \n  \n The Montreal Convention allows victims of the crash to sue Asiana in U.S. courts if they are permanent U.S. residents, purchased tickets in the U.S. or were flying into the U.S. as a final destination. All three plaintiffs are U.S. citizens, according to the suit. \n  \n Litigation over air disasters typically takes months or longer to unfold. Often, lawsuits are consolidated and handled by a single federal judge, a process known as multidistrict litigation. \n  \n Ladd Sanger, an aviation lawyer and commercially rated pilot in Dallas, said this would likely happen to any suits related to the Asiana incident. \"We're going to see a lot of these filed in the weeks to come,\" he said. \"This is probably the first of many.\" \n  \n The crash has stoked a long-running debate over how aggressively plaintiff attorneys are permitted to seek out clients after an aviation tragedy. \n  \n Federal law mandates what is effectively a 45-day moratorium, during which lawyers are barred from directly soliciting to represent commercial air-crash victims or their families. The restrictions often aren't enforced effectively, and veteran lawyers are replete with stories about how the rules have been skirted. \n  \n But in the case of the Asiana crash, federal accident investigators and local law-enforcement appear to have tried particularly hard to make lawyers toe the line. \n  \n James Kreindler, a veteran aviation litigator with the New York law firm Kreindler and Kreindler LLP, said he has never experienced such a show of force by local police to keep certain lawyers from entering the hotel where many family members were staying after the Asiana crash. \n  \n \"I've never seen such tight controls,\" he said. \"You couldn't get through the front door unless you had a prearranged meeting with a specific hotel guest.\" \n  \n Mr. Kreindler said he supports such restrictions because it prevents lawyers from trying to land clients with unfounded or exaggerated promises. \n  \n The NTSB also stepped up its game. Several days after the crash, the agency's general counsel's office sent out a mass email to members of the San Francisco Bar Association about the 45-day rule. \n  \n \"We are closely following the activities of attorneys,\" the message said, \"and will immediately notify state bar ethics officials and other appropriate authorities if impermissible activity is suspected.\" \n  \n A spokeswoman for the NTSB said \"it is typical for local law enforcement to secure the family center,\" or hotel where family members are housed. \n  \n \u2014Joe Palazzolo and Jon Ostrower contributed to this article. \n  \n Write to Ashby Jones at ashby.jones@wsj.com \n  \n A version of this article appeared July 18, 2013, on page A5 in the U.S. edition of The Wall Street Journal, with the headline: Asiana Jet Passengers File Suit. ||||| South Korea's transport ministry said Thursday it asked Asiana Airlines Inc. to review safety measures two months before an Asiana flight crash-landed in San Francisco. \n  \n Kwon Yong Bok, director general of aviation safety policy at the transport ministry, said the government informed Asiana on April 30 it should hire more pilots, engineers and cabin crew as the airline planned to increase its fleet of airplanes by 20 percent by 2017. It currently has 80 planes. \n  \n \"We asked the company to review its safety policies once again,\" Kwon said by phone. \n  \n He said the ministry also recommended that Asiana centralize its safety management system and set up an oversight team for aircraft maintenance. \n  \n The recommendations were made as part of a safety consulting program that the ministry set up for the airline industry to minimize the risk of accidents. \n  \n Asiana Flight 214 crash-landed at San Francisco's international airport on July 6, killing three people and injuring dozens. Twelve people are still hospitalized including five cabin crew, South Korea's transport ministry said Monday. \n  \n The crash of the Boeing 777 was Asiana's first accident since a cargo plane landed in waters near South Korea's Jeju island in 2011, killing two pilots. Its deadliest plane accident was in 1993 when a domestic flight crashed south of Seoul, killing 66 people. \n  \n The cause of the San Francisco accident is still being probed but investigators have so far found no evidence of mechanical problems with the plane. ||||| A Chicago law firm has taken steps to sue Boeing Co. on behalf of 83 people who were aboard the Asiana Airlines flight that crash-landed in San Francisco earlier this month, alleging that a malfunction of the plane's autothrottle may have caused the crash. \n  \n Ribbeck Law Chartered on Monday filed a petition for discovery, which is meant to preserve evidence, in Cook County Circuit Court in Chicago, where the aircraft manufacturer is headquartered. The firm said in a news release that additional pleadings will be filed against Asiana Airlines and several component parts manufacturers in coming days. \n  \n In addition to potential problems with the Boeing 777's auto throttle, some emergency slides reportedly opened inside the plane, injuring passengers and blocking their exit, and some passengers had to be cut out of their seatbelts with a knife, the firm contends. \n  \n Three Chinese teenage girls were killed when the airplane, carrying 307 passengers and crew on a flight from South Korea to San Francisco International Airport on July 6, approached the runway too low and slow. The plane clipped a seawall at the end of a runway, tearing off the tail and sending the plane spinning down the runway. The impact caused the plane to catch fire. \n  \n \"We must find the causes of the crash and demand that the problems with the airline and the aircraft are immediately resolved to avoid future tragedies,\" attorney Monica R. Kelly, head of Ribbeck's aviation department, said in a written statement. \n  \n Boeing spokesman John Dern said the company had no comment. \n  \n The petition asks a judge to order Boeing to identify the designer and manufacturer of the airplane's autothrottle and its emergency evacuation slides. It also seeks information on the systems that indicate the airplane's glide slope and that warn how close it is to the ground. Kelly said the firm wants to protect the wreckage \"from destructive testing\" and to obtain maintenance records, internal memos and other evidence. \n  \n A passenger filed a lawsuit against Asiana in San Francisco federal court on Monday, saying the airline showed \"wanton and willful disregard for the rights and safety of all passengers,\" the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Younga Jun Machorro and her 8-year-old son, Benjamin Machorro, were seated toward the front of the plane and both suffered back and neck injuries, their lawyer, Michael Verna, told the newspaper. \n  \n The pilots of Asiana Flight 214 have told investigators they were relying on automated cockpit equipment to control their speed. Inspectors found that the autothrottle had been \"armed,\" or made ready for activation, but investigators are still determining whether it had been engaged, the National Transportation Safety Board has said. \n  \n Two of the plane's eight slides malfunctioned, opening inside the cabin and pinning two flight attendants underneath. ||||| The wreckage of Asiana Flight 214, which crashed on Saturday, July 6, 2013, seen at San Francisco International Airport, in San Francisco, Friday, July 12, 2013.

Just got on w/thought.\u201d \n  \n He also released a statement lashing Erickson and the decision to exclude him. \u201c\u2026 not only is Erick a total loser, he has a history of supporting establishment losers in failed campaigns so it is an honor to be uninvited from his event. Mr. Trump is an outsider and does not fit his agenda.\u201d \n  \n Nevertheless, Trump was a hot topic of conversation at the RedState event. Speaking there, Republican 2016 candidate Mike Huckabee said, \u201cThe Republican Party is not engaged in a war on women, the Republican Party is not engaged in saying things about Megyn Kelly,\u201d he said. \u201cOne individual is.\u201d \n  \n Carly Fiorina, the only female Republican presidential candidate in the race, took to Twitter to condemn Trump. \n  \n \u201cMr. Trump. There. Is. No. Excuse,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI stand with @megynkelly.\u201d \n  \n In a tweet sent Saturday, Gov.

John Kasich tweeted a statement, saying, \u201cEveryone deserves respect and dignity, whether they agree with you or not. You don\u2019t tear people down just because they disagree with you or stand up to you or question you.\u201d \n  \n In a statement, Sen. Lindsey Graham said, \u201cI applaud Erik [sic] Erickson for doing the right thing when he disinvited Donald Trump from a gathering of Republican activists. As a party, we are better to risk losing without Donald Trump than trying to win with him. Enough already with Mr. Trump.\u201d \n  \n Also in a statement, Sen. Rand Paul called Trump\u2019s statements \u201cinappropriate and offensive.\u201d \n  \n And then there was the nature of the target itself. Unlike undocumented immigrants, John McCain or Rosie O\u2019Donnell, the Fox News anchor enjoys a huge following among the network\u2019s viewers, who happen to make up the core of the Republican primary electorate. So picking a fight with Kelly \u2014 as Trump did when he chided her during a tough debate question about insults he\u2019s lobbed at women, dissed her in the spin room, and tweeted his complaints about her \u2014 carries risks that Trump\u2019s other feuds do not. \n  \n So does making such a gendered attack on a journalist at a time when his party is battling the perception that it\u2019s waging a \u201cwar on women.\u201d \n  \n But if Trump world is worried about taking on the only person who might be more popular with the Republican base than their boss is right now, they\u2019re not showing it. \n  \n Trump\u2019s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, maintained that the mogul\u2019s willingness to take on Kelly makes him the kind of equal-opportunity brawler Republicans will need next fall. \n  \n \u201cIf the Democratic nominee is going to be Hillary Clinton, then you would want a strong person to stand up to make America great again,\u201d he said earlier on Friday, before the \u201cblood\u201d comment. \n  \n Trump political adviser Roger Stone sounded a slightly more cautious note. \u201cCertainly Fox reaches a disproportionate number of Republican primary voters,\u201d he said, adding that as of Friday afternoon he hadn\u2019t yet sorted out his thoughts about the matter. \n  \n Stone said Trump was satisfied with his debate performance when the two conferred last night. And Stone offered a positive assessment, if not a ringing endorsement, of his boss\u2019s performance. \u201cHe held his own. He was fine. He made all his key points.\u201d \n  \n But Trump and his associates clearly had a bone to pick after a debate in which Fox\u2019s moderators, especially Kelly, trained some of their toughest questions on the controversial front-runner. Trump\u2019s annoyance showed during the debate when he told her, \u201cI\u2019ve been very nice to you, although I could probably maybe not be, based on the way you have treated me\u201d in response to a question about his name-calling of women (which he joked he\u2019d only ever done to his longtime Twitter nemesis O\u2019Donnell). After the debate, Trump said Kelly \u201cbehaved very nasty to me.\u201d \n  \n It only devolved from there. \n  \n In the early morning hours on Friday, his Twitter account tweeted that Kelly was \u201cnot very good or professional\u201dand retweeted anti-Kelly tweets from supporters, including one calling her a \u201cbimbo.\u201d \n  \n Trump\u2019s deputy and surrogate, Michael Cohen, retweeted a tweet from a Trump fan (@hawaiiluvstrump) after the debate that included the hashtag \u201cboycottmegynkelly\u201d and the message \u201cwe can gut her.\u201d \n  \n Cohen told POLITICO that he does not believe the tweet implied any sort of physical violence but did not back down from his beef with Kelly. \u201cIt is interesting to note that the only attacks against Mr. Trump last night came from the moderators,\u201d Cohen said in a statement. \u201cIt appeared to all viewers that it was a coordinated effort. Megyn Kelly clearly tried the hardest and failed as Mr. Trump has been deemed the winner of last night\u2019s debate by multiple polls and media outlets.\u201d \n  \n Because he works for Trump Enterprises, rather than the campaign, Cohen said that his being in conflict with Kelly shouldn\u2019t affect Trump\u2019s political fortunes. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter if I am or I\u2019m not,\u201d he said. \n  \n Monmouth University pollster Patrick Murray told POLITICO after Thursday\u2019s debate that Trump\u2019s back-and-forth with Kelly, in which he dismissed her question about insults lobbed at women as \u201cpolitical correctness,\u201d could end up hurting him with female Republican primary voters, a group he is currently winning, though by a smaller margin than he\u2019s winning men. \n  \n And despite the negative reaction of a focus group convened for Fox News by Republican messaging guru Frank Luntz to Trump\u2019s interactions with Kelly, as well as his refusal to pledge to support the eventual Republican nominee, there were indications that his trademark Trump bluster continued to play well with important Republican constituencies. \n  \n (Trump tweeted that Luntz \u201cis a low class slob who came to my office looking for consulting work and I had zero interest.

(Associated Press) \n  \n The National Weather Service predicts the Yellowstone River, swelling with mountain snowmelt amid hot summer temperatures, will peak at Billings on Tuesday afternoon _ a day after Exxon Mobil Pipeline Co. President Gary Pruessing promised to do \"whatever is necessary\" to mop up oil spilled from the duct at the river bottom. That pledge included sending crews to walk the river banks in search of pooled oil once the flooding river recedes. \n  \n The 12-inch pipeline burst Friday upstream from a refinery in Billings, where it delivered 40,000 barrels of oil a day. Up to 1,000 barrels, or 42,000 gallons, of crude oil oozed into the legendary Yellowstone before the leak was stopped, according to Exxon Mobil estimates. \n  \n After downplaying assertions from state and federal officials that damage from the spill was spread over dozens of miles, Exxon Mobil acknowledged under political pressure Monday that the scope of the leak could extend far beyond a 10-mile stretch of the river. Company officials also said their statements were misconstrued. \n  \n \"We're not limiting the scope of our cleanup to the immediate site,\" Pruessing said at a news conference along the river near Laurel, as crews mopped up oil in the background. \"We are not trying to suggest in any way that that's the limit of exposure.\" \n  \n The 20-year-old Silvertip pipeline followed a route that passes beneath the river. It was temporarily shut down in May after Laurel officials raised concerns that it could be at risk as the Yellowstone started to rise. Also twice in the last year, regulators warned Exxon Mobil of several safety violations along the line. \n  \n The company decided to restart the line after examining its safety record and deciding it was safe, Pruessing said. \n  \n The cause of the rupture has not yet been determined, but company and government officials have speculated that high waters in recent weeks may have scoured the river bottom and exposed the pipeline to damaging debris. \n  \n The Yellowstone River at Billings had dropped nearly 2 feet by Monday from its peak Saturday morning, according to the National Weather Service. But temperatures reached the mid-90s Sunday, causing the melt of mountain snow to accelerate. \n  \n It is possible cleaned areas would become fouled again as waters rise. \n  \n Gov. Brian Schweitzer, who earlier criticized the company's inspection of the spill, planned to tour the damaged areas Tuesday. \n  \n Underscoring rising anger over the spill among some riverfront property owners, Pruessing was confronted after his news conference Monday by a goat farmer and environmental activist who said his partner was sickened by oil fumes and had to be taken to the emergency room. \n  \n \"I need to know what we've been exposed to. People are sick now,\" Mike Scott said. Scott's partner, Alexis Bonogofsky, was diagnosed Monday with acute hydrocarbon exposure after she experienced dizziness, nausea and trouble breathing, he said. \n  \n Pruessing said air and water monitoring had not revealed any health risks. But he told Scott the company would provide the public with more information. \n  \n The Environmental Protection Agency said in a statement Monday afternoon that officials were still taking air and water samples to determine the impacts. \n  \n EPA officials said they and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service personnel conducted an aerial assessment of the Yellowstone from Laurel to 30 miles downstream of Billings, finding oil deposits along the river banks, in slow water and in small pools in backwaters at intermittent points. \n  \n The U.S. Department of Transportation, which oversees pipelines, notified Exxon Mobil in July 2010 of seven potential safety violations and other problems along the pipeline. Two of the warnings faulted the company for its emergency response and pipeline corrosion training. \n  \n Transportation Department spokeswoman Patricia Klinger said the company has since responded to the warnings and the case was closed. \n  \n The company also was cited for \"probable violations\" in a February letter. Those included inadequate pipeline markers in a housing development, a section of pipeline over a ditch covered with potentially damaging material and debris, vegetation in a housing area that covered a portion of line and prevented aerial inspections, and a line over a canal not properly protected against corrosion. \n  \n The company responded in a March letter that it had corrected all of the problems, most of them within a few weeks of being notified. Company spokesman Alan Jeffers said there was no direct connection between those problems and the pipeline failure. \n  \n \"These are important things we needed to take care of, and we took care of them by the time we got the notice,\" Jeffers said. No fines were issued, he said. \n  \n The Yellowstone spill has amplified calls from some safety advocates and environmentalists who want the government to impose more stringent regulations on the industry. \n  \n Anthony Swift, a policy analyst with the Natural Resources Defense Council, said the fact that Exxon Mobil's Silvertip line was apparently in compliance with federal rules underscores that those rules need to be strengthened. \n  \n \"These are the sort of spills that we shouldn't be tolerating,\" Swift said. \"We need to incorporate tougher safety standards.\" \n  \n The company said only one case of wildlife damage _ a dead duck _ had been reported, but Pruessing said that could not be confirmed. A local newspaper, the Billings Gazette, has run pictures of a turtle and a group of pelicans apparently with oil on them. \n  \n If another surge of water pushes oil further into back channels as expected, it could be a potential threat to fisheries, said Bruce Farling, executive director of Trout Unlimited's Montana chapter. Farling said there are many fish eggs and recently hatched fish in those channels. \n  \n The stretch of the Yellowstone where the spill occurred contains sauger, bass catfish, goldeye, trout and, farther downstream, below Miles City, native pallid sturgeon. \n  \n \"If we get a bunch of oil in some of these backwater areas, these are precisely where these small fish rear,\" Farling said. \n  \n ___ \n  \n Associated Press correspondent Matt Volz in Helena, Mont., contributed to this report. ||||| \u2014 Oil from a Yellowstone River pipeline has spread at least 15 miles beyond the initial leak, Exxon Mobil acknowledged Monday \u2014 five miles farther than the company estimated a day earlier.Exxon Mobil Pipeline Co.

That will happen when the river recedes, he said.\"The river is well over its banks, very turbulent,\" he said at a news conference along the Yellowstone near Laurel. \"I've never seen the river like this in my life.\"The spill's effects on wildlife were unclear Monday, but the Audubon Society and experts from International Bird Rescue would be on hand to help, Pruessing said.Exxon Mobil is continuing to test air and water for safety, he said, and will make the results available to the public.After the news conference, Pruessing was confronted by an angry goat farmer and environmental activist who said his wife had been sickened by oil fumes and had to be taken to the emergency room.\"I need to know what we've been exposed to.
