Cassidy showed great composure to round Crokes keeper Shane Murphy and score after running from halfway following Rogers' initial burst.
However, Cooper's goal levelled proceedings seven minutes later after Daithi Casey had run through the centre of Slaughtneil's defence.
In fairness, Slaughtneil had been warned a few minutes earlier when White missed a pointblank chance after charging unchallenged from halfway.
The half ended in the worst possible fashion for the Derry champions as two quickfire Brian Looney points were followed by Cassidy's dismissal, as the Kerry side led 1-6 to 1-5 at the break.
Paul Bradley's free got Slaughtneil on terms eight minutes after the restart but as scores began to dry up, points from young substitutes Micheal Burns and Jordan Kelly helped Dr Crokes take a three-point lead which proved enough to land the Kerry outfit's second title, after their 1992 success.
Burns' 46th-minute score was a morale-sapper for Slaughtneil after McKaigue had hit two wides from difficult positions as the Ulster side struggled to set up scoring chances despite dominating possession for a couple of minutes.
The European Commission has ordered Ireland to claw back up to €13 billion (£11.1 billion; $14.5 billion) in back taxes from Apple.
The European Union has never ordered a company to pay this much before, with Tuesday's decision smashing the €1.4 billion (£1.2 billion; $1.6 billion) levied against the French energy giant EDF in 2015.
Margrethe Vestager, the EU's competition commissioner, announced the figure at a European Commission press conference.
"Member states cannot give tax benefits to selected companies — this is illegal under EU state aid rules," Vestager said in a press release ahead of her speech. "The commission's investigation concluded that Ireland granted illegal tax benefits to Apple, which enabled it to pay substantially less tax than other busines...
Apple said the decision would affect how much it invests in Europe and how many people it employs in the region.
An Apple representative said: "The European Commission has launched an effort to rewrite Apple's history in Europe, ignore Ireland's tax laws, and upend the international tax system in the process. The commission's case is not about how much Apple pays in taxes — it's about which government collects the money. It will ...
"Apple follows the law and pays all of the taxes we owe wherever we operate. We will appeal, and we are confident the decision will be overturned."
Ireland's finance minister, Michael Noonan, said in a statement: "I disagree profoundly with the commission's decision." He added: "The decision leaves me with no choice but to seek Cabinet approval to appeal the decision before the European courts."
Apple, which is the world's most valuable company, saw its share price fall 1.6% in premarket trading after the decision was announced, according to Reuters.
The European Commission started to look into Apple's Irish tax rate in 2014, so the decision is the culmination of a three-year investigation.
The commission concluded that Apple received "illegal state aid" from Ireland — essentially a sweetheart deal that allowed the computer maker to unfairly reduce its tax bill in a way not available to other companies.
At the press conference, Vestager highlighted that Apple's so-called head office had no employees, no premises, and no real business. "This was possible under Irish law, which until 2013 allowed for so-called stateless companies," she said.
She added that in 2011, for every million €1 billion (£852 million; $1.11 billion) made in profits, Apple paid just €500 (£427; $558), extending to just €50 (£42; $55) in 2014.
Both the Irish government and Apple have said they plan to appeal the ruling, which could push back the final decision by five or six years, according to the Irish Independent.
The ruling is likely to trigger one of the world's biggest tax disputes and a political showdown between Europe and the US.
The Obama administration has been watching the case with concern, and it had warned the commission of potential consequences if it ruled against Apple and Ireland.
The US Treasury said in a white paper published Wednesday that it "continues to consider potential responses should the commission continue its present course," and it accused the Brussels investigation of being "supranational."
Apple CEO Tim Cook has criticised the international tax system as "not good," and he previously vowed to appeal the decision if he felt that Apple didn't "get a fair hearing."
"Let me explain what goes on with our international taxes," Cook told The Washington Post. "The money that's in Ireland ... is money that is subject to US taxes. The tax law right now says we can keep that in Ireland or we can bring it back.
"It's important for everyone to understand that the allegation made in the EU is that Ireland gave us a special deal. Ireland denies that," Cook said. "The basic controversy at the root of this is, people really aren't arguing that Apple should pay more taxes. They're arguing about who they should be paid to. And so th...
Microsoft will start shipping Windows 10 on July 29 for PCs and tablets. The upgrade includes the Cortana digital assistant, a whole host of new apps and the return of the start menu.
Lenovo is bringing three budget laptops to market in June, including one that can be equipped with Intel's RealSense 3D camera.
Asus took a jab at the MacBook Air and iPad with three new PC convertibles it claims offer better design and performance. Unfortunately, the products fall a tad short of offering the premium feel found in competing Apple devices.
New season of "Serial" to launch in the fall.
Great news for fans of "Serial" -- the hit podcast will launch a second season in the fall, and a third season should arrive next spring.
"We are hard at work reporting not one, but two distinct new series," the podcast's producers wrote in a newsletter emailed to fans of the podcast.
The new stories are "very different from Season One, but no less interesting to us," the producers wrote. They did not provide details of the stories.
"Serial," which was created by This American Life producer and former Baltimore Sun reporter, Sarah Koenig, shattered records when it was released last fall, becoming the most popular podcast of all time.
Season One focused on the 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee, a star student at Woodlawn High School in Baltimore County. The producers examined the case against Adnan Syed, a fellow student and ex-boyfriend of Lee, who was convicted and sentenced to life plus 30 years for Lee's murder.
Adnan Syed's bid for a new trial gained more momentum Monday, when a state appeals court ruled an alibi witness should testify on behalf of the subject of the "Serial" podcast.
Syed, who has maintained his innocence, scored a break last week when the state's second highest court ruled that an alibi witness could testify on his behalf.
An early episode of "Serial" focused on the claims of that witness, Asia McClain, a fellow Woodlawn student who said that she had seen Syed at the library at the time the murder was believed to have occurred.
Syed's defense attorney at the time did not contact McClain or arrange for her to testify.
"Clearly the appellate judges are aware the public is watching," the producers wrote, although they declined to speculate about if they believed the decision was influenced by the podcast.
Couples are being turned down for NHS fertility treatment in some areas of England because the man is too old or too fat, despite neither criteria forming part of national guidelines or being proven to affect the success of IVF.
Ninety-one per cent of local clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) also refuse access to IVF on the NHS if one of the couple has a child from a previous relationship, a process criticised as social rationing by the campaign group Fertility Fairness.
The group carried out an audit of 195 CCGs and found that 27% of them used a man’s body mass index (BMI) to determine whether a couple could be referred for IVF. Fourteen CCGs, or 8%, stipulated that men must be younger than 55.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) guidelines, which advise CCGs on best practice, says men with a BMI of 30 or over should be informed that they are likely to have reduced fertility. Nice also says couples should be told that “female fertility [and to a lesser extent] male fertility decline w...
Neither male age nor weight affect the success rate of IVF, according to Raj Mathur, a gynaecologist and Fertility Fairness committee member. “Male age and BMI are not in the Nice guidance as criteria for IVF and there is no strong evidence of impact on clinical outcomes of IVF,” he said.
Mathur also criticised the quarter of CCGs that insist a woman’s anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level and/or antral follicle count (AFC) should be at a specific level. AMH is a hormone secreted by cells in developing egg sacs. Doctors can investigate the number of eggs a woman has left by measuring AMH in her blood or by...
“AMH and antral follicle count are in the Nice guideline as predictors of ovarian response, but not as predictors of the chance of having a baby through IVF. Commissioners are making unjustified extrapolation in using them for rationing,” said Mathur.
23% offer two IVF cycles.
13% offer three IVF cycles.
In the last two years, 30 CCGs, or 15.3%, have slashed NHS fertility services, and one in 10 are consulting on cutting or removing NHS fertility treatment.
Sarah Norcross, the co-chair of Fertility Fairness, said: “It is shocking to see CCGs introducing their own ‘access to IVF’ criteria, as well as reducing the number of IVF cycles they offer. It is not the CCG’s job to decide the criteria for accessing NHS fertility services.

When I read the response from the believers in our community, I wished 200-plus residents of Saxony Village could have signed that letter.
Come on, folks. Dance with God. Doing God's will is like leading. He leads, we follow. Jesus is our dancing partner through life. Without him, life is jerky and unfulfilled.
Truth be told, if we all over the world were a community of believers, the words "community organizer" would be unnecessary to say. We would praise him and love one another. Indeed, without Jesus, we have nothing but eternal damnation.

CHESTER, Va. -- Members of Redemption Church showed up to service with a little something extra on Sunday. They brought hundreds of pairs of gently used shoes for a drive called, Soles 4 Souls.
This is the first time Redemption Church on W Hundred Road in Chester took part in this drive. Soles4Souls is a nonprofit organization that encourages community members to fill a KIA Soul with shoes with the aim of providing everyone around the world with a pair of shoes.
"It's an organization that is all over the world," said Chrisman White, an event organizer and Redemption Church member. "And what they do is they collect shoes and other clothing items that can either be reused as shoes or repurposed in small businesses that are like start ups in villages."
Sunday's goal was to collect 500 pairs of shoes, and members donated about 300 pairs.
White said seeing the community come together was exciting and motivates the congregation to continue the drive next year.
If you'd like to donate shoes, you still have time. Redemption Church leaders will put Soles4Souls boxes outside the church were you can drop off your gently used shoes.

Even if the U.S. Supreme Court strikes down some or all of the nation's health-care law, economic forces will continue to transform the way most people get care.
The high court could decide as early as today whether the backbone of the federal law -- a requirement that nearly everyone purchase health insurance -- is constitutional. The court also is expected to weigh in on new and forthcoming rules under the law that affect how consumers purchase insurance.
But Arizona health-care leaders say major changes are already coming that, with or without the Affordable Care Act, will alter the way most people access and pay for care.
"It's simply a matter that costs are not sustainable and the status quo is not sustainable," said Patricia "Corki" Larsen, a principal with benefits consultant Mercer in Phoenix.
Most Arizonans who get health insurance through their employer can expect to pick up a larger share of their health-care tab. Employers have embraced high-deductible insurance plans that offer cheaper rates but require employees to spend from $1,000 to $10,000 before substantial coverage kicks in. This has prompted con...
Consumers will have more tools, such as websites that allow them to evaluate health costs and gauge the quality of care from hospitals and doctors. Because consumers are paying more, they will use the Internet to research cost and quality to make more informed choices, analysts say.
Economic forces are prompting doctors to join larger practices or align with hospitals to better coordinate care. These practices often include a team approach that emphasizes preventive care and can track patients and the services they require. Many programs also provide financial risks and rewards for medical groups ...
Financial incentives have prompted hospitals to pay closer attention to patients after they leave the hospital. They are hiring physicians, nurses and case managers to make house calls to help patients manage their health so they don't need to return to the hospital.
"Forces within the health-care system are pushing for change," said Marjorie Baldwin, an economics professor at Arizona State University's W.P. Carey School of Business who participated with President Barack Obama's health-reform task force. "That is true whether we had the (Affordable Care) act or not."
Banner Health, Arizona's largest hospital system, is aggressively preparing for changes. The Phoenix-based hospital system has recruited a network of doctors and medical providers called Banner Health Network and is negotiating contracts with private and government insurers.
Banner has reached a deal with Aetna to provide health care to small businesses. Under the arrangement, Banner Health Network will be paid based on how well it improves patients' health, coordinates care and reduces costs.
This model, called an accountable-care organization, is a change from the existing "fee-for-service" method that pays doctors and hospitals for each visit or procedure.
Banner is negotiating similar arrangements with other companies. By the end of the year, Banner Health Network expects to provide care for more than 220,000 Arizonans.
"We are going down this path, and how the Supreme Court rules really has no effect on us pulling this organized body together to perform care at a lower cost," said Banner Health CEO Peter Fine.
Banner also expects to enroll 50,000 Medicare recipients in Arizona who typically would have about $500 million in annual medical costs. The Medicare pilot, which the federal agency expects will save $1.1 billion nationwide over five years, is part of the new law.
If Banner meets health-quality measures for those patients at lower costs under the Medicare program, it can recoup a portion of the savings. The network also may have to pay if it fails to meet benchmarks.
One key way that Banner Health plans to meet its goals is by closely monitoring the sickest and most frail patients. It has identified about 1,500 people who require regular house calls from nurses who manage their care.
Although the Obama administration has highlighted the accountable-care organization as one example of how the Affordable Care Act seeks to save Medicare money, some analysts say the law does not go far enough. The Medicare Trust Fund's annual update, issued in April, estimates that the fund will be depleted in 2024.
Medicare faces a number of challenges: a flood of Baby Boomer retirees; medical technology that allows people to live longer; and a struggling economy that is not creating enough jobs, which reduces the number of workers paying into the trust fund.
"The (Affordable Care) act did not deal with the problems of Medicare," ASU's Baldwin said. "Medical technology is outpacing what society can afford. Technology is amazing, but it is also expensive."
Other health-care providers are paying closer attention to patients who frequently use hospital emergency rooms for non-urgent health care, which includes people who have lost their health insurance or who don't have a primary-care doctor.
Under existing federal law, hospitals are required to assess people who show up to an emergency room.
St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center has sought to cut down on unnecessary visits to the emergency room, where care costs are most expensive, by expanding the hours and outreach of its family-medicine clinic.
St. Joseph's also has reduced its emergency-room costs by 12 percent per visit among patients who are enrolled in a special program through Mercy Care, a plan offered by the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System. One example cited by hospital officials was that of a woman who had returned to the St. Joseph's emer...
The family-medicine clinic assigned a doctor to track the woman and meet with her to ensure that she was getting proper care. Her visits to the emergency room tapered off after she received such personalized care. She also had fewer CT scans.
The concept is called patient-centered medical home. Doctors know their patients by name, and teams of doctors, nurses and social workers regularly discuss cases in an effort to coordinate care.
