Meanwhile, Chelsea are keen to give David Luiz a new contract to ensure he stays beyond the end of the season, according to the London Evening Standard. The Brazil defender’s current deal expires at the end of the campaign, but the club are planning to open talks over a one-year extension, the paper claims.
Ilay Elmkies: Manchester City are reportedly interested in the Hoffenheim youngster. Reports in the German media suggest the 18-year-old has caught the attention of Pep Guardiola after some impressive performances for Hoffenheim’s youth side this season.
Daniele Rugani: The Chelsea target’s contract talks with Juventus have stalled, according to reports. Italian outlet Calciomercato claims he is yet to reach an agreement with Juventus after snubbing a switch to Stamford Bridge in the summer, and the Sun says Blues boss Maurizio Sarri could be tempted to make another bid.

Harris said Monday’s deal falls “far short” of the “ironclad guarantee” of protections for recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), an Obama-era program that allowed undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children to secure approval to work and go to school here.
Harris said that she doesn’t trust McConnell’s promise to bring a DACA bill to the floor in the next month.
The deal reached Monday would reopen the government and fund it through Feb. 8. McConnell has promised to bring an immigration bill addressing those protected under DACA within the next month. The program is set to expire in March.
“Now there is a real pathway to get a bill on the floor and through the Senate,” Schumer said Monday.
But the deal falls short of Democrats’ initial demands, raising questions among liberals about the point of the government shutdown and what they got in return for agreeing to reopen it.
Senate Democrats had initially demanded that Republicans agree in principle to a deal that would provide permanent protections for DACA recipients.
April 1, 1931, Albuquerque, New Mexico. Albuquerque Flight Service Station (FSS) will provide air traffic advisories, pilot briefings, en route communications and VFR search and rescue services, assist lost aircraft and aircraft in emergency situations, provide Notices to Airmen, broadcast aviation weather. In addition, the Flight Service Station will provide En Route Flight Advisory.
FEBRUARY 25--A new pilot training syllabus was issued which added a course in Advanced Seaplane Training and returned the courses in Bombing and Torpedo, and Observation and Gunnery, dropped in November 1929, thereby expanding the regular flight course to 258.75 hours and, for those also taking Advanced Combat, to 282.75 hours. The ground school course was also expanded in some areas and with the inclusion of a short course in photography, totalled 386.5 hours.
MARCH 31--When a disastrous earthquake shook Nicaragua and destroyed most of the city of Managua, Lexington was ordered from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to assist other Navy and Marine units in relief operations. Early the next afternoon, she inaugurated carrier aircraft relief operations in the U.S. Navy, by launching five planes carrying medical personnel, supplies and provisions to the stricken city.
APRIL 2--A contract for the XFF-1 two-seat fighter, the first naval aircraft to incorporate retractable landing gear for the purpose of improving aerodynamic cleanness and thereby increasing performance, was issued to Grumman.
APRIL 9--A contract was issued to the Glenn L. Martin Company for 12 BM-1 dive bombers. This aircraft, which was a further development of the XT5M-1, was the first dive bomber capable of attacking with a heavy (1,000 pound) bomb to be procured in sufficient quantity to equip a squadron.
JUNE 1--New specifications for aircraft marking were issued which directed use of 20-inch-wide colored bands around the fuselage of section leader planes, assigning royal red, white, true blue, black, willow green and lemon yellow for sections 1 through 6 respectively. The same order permitted use of distinguishing colors on the empennage whenever two or more squadrons of the same class operated together.
Scene Sharp™ USA will formally introduce the Fuze Go™ Plugin for ENVI® this week at the Esri User Conference in San Diego. The plugin gives ENVI software users access to Fuze Go MS Sharp, an automated multispectral image fusion software which can simultaneously fuse up to 30 spectral bands of data from inside the popular ENVI geospatial processing package.
“The Exelis ENVI software is widely known for its multi- and hyperspectral image processing capabilities and is an ideal platform for geospatial information users to access the automated Fuze Go MS Sharp image fusion software,” said Ian Lucas, President and CEO of Scene Sharp Technologies Incorporated™.
Scene Sharp will demonstrate the Fuze Go™ plugin for ENVI® along with the full line of Fuze Go software products in booth #410 at the Esri User Conference being held July 14-18 in San Diego.
The plugin gives users the option of accessing the Fuze Go MS Sharp software either within the ENVI workflow or outside of it so that fusion can be performed as a stand-alone application. This frees up the ENVI software license for other image processing activities. No GIS or image processing experience is needed to utilize the Fuze Go tools.
Fuze Go is a fully automated technology that enables users to quickly and easily fuse data sets to add color to non-colorized satellite and aerial imagery with just a few mouse clicks. One of its most common applications is pan-sharpening. By colorizing image data, GIS users can visualize and extract richer information content from remotely sensed data to make better informed decisions.
Also at the 2014 Esri UC, Scene Sharp USA will demonstrate the powerful processing capabilities in its Fuze Go SAR Sharp application, which was designed for more effective exploitation of data captured by satellite-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors. Fuze Go SAR Sharp fuses gray-scale radar data with optical multispectral bands to colorize the SAR data set. An industry first is the “Dynamic Reader” which allows pre-process on the fly viewing of SAR imagery with real time adjustment of color intensity being added to the scene.
Fuze Go MS Sharp and SAR Sharp are available for purchase for an annual license fee. Batch processing versions of the software packages are also offered to perform automatic fusion of multiple optical or SAR scenes.
To learn more about the Fuze Go products, please contact Kevin Marasch at 1-216-901-9800 or email kevinmarasch@scenesharp.com. Please visit www.fuzego.com to try the software at no charge for 15 days.
The Academy Award-winning movie "Spotlight" showcases what is now recognized as the global tragedy of childhood sexual abuse. The opening scene captures the central conflict as it played out in the Archdiocese of Boston.
The film begins with a late-night scene at a neighborhood police station. A local priest has been brought in for questioning as a distressed single mother and a livid uncle are in the back room complaining that a priest has molested the family's children. They are there to press criminal charges.
But, with help from the assistant district attorney, the bishop is summoned to the station to quietly assure the family that the priest will be taken out of the parish and they're told, "This will never happen again."
A rookie cop asks a veteran cop what the press will do when the charges are read at the arraignment. He's told, "What arraignment?" The older cop has seen this before. He knows the priest will walk.
The bishop and priest then quietly slip out of the station, into the back seat of a black sedan, and into the dark night.
The priest being portrayed is the notorious Father John Geoghan. With over 150 victims, he is one of the worst serial molesters in the history of the Catholic Church.
Geoghan was murdered in prison by his cellmate in 2003. Most predators however, having never been even arrested for their crimes, are still out there. And they could be your neighbor.
Pennsylvania may well be considered the national epicenter of sexual abuse scandals.
While the Penn State/Sandusky nightmare continues to garner national headlines and the ongoing Bill Cosby trial continues, the attorney general recently announced a statewide investigation into the remaining six catholic dioceses.
This was generated following the flood of hotline calls received in the wake of the scathing Altoona-Johnstown grand jury report that was released in March.
I did not, however, realize the magnitude of this epidemic until, as a state representative, my office received letters, emails, phone calls and personal visits from victims from every corner of the state and beyond.
I heard heartfelt pleas from grown men and women whose lives had been destroyed by ministers of every denomination, scout leaders, public and private school teachers, coaches, missionaries and worst of all, family members.
Obviously, childhood sexual abuse in not just a catholic clergy problem, it's a societal problem.
We can't help but compare the outcry in Libre's case to the stalled legislation that would give the victims of child abuse a better chance of confronting their abusers and winning some measure of redress in the civil court system.
The Boston police, public officials and the church hierarchy turned a blind eye for years to the pattern of collusion and systematic cover-up of the sexual abuse of children in order to protect that institution's reputation and coffers.
Are things any different in Pennsylvania since Phil Saviano first brought his case as a victim of childhood sexual abuse to The Boston Globe, 25 years ago?
In April, legislation that would fix the statute of limitations overwhelmingly passed the House 180-15. My colleagues showed they had the political courage to do the right thing.
But the key retroactive component was gutted in the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Senate then passed a version of a reform bill that would clearly benefit the Insurance Federation and the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference over victims.
To date, these lobbyists have spent millions to block statute of limitations reform here in Pennsylvania. I often wonder how they sleep at night.
We legislators should have a second chance to vote an amended H.B. 1947 before the session ends, which will help all victims of childhood sexual abuse, past, present and future.
It's been 12 years since that first grand jury in Philadelphia recommended affording past victims, who had aged out of their arbitrary statute of limitations, the opportunity to bring civil suit, if they have the evidence to do so.
Attorney General Bruce Beemer, State Victim Advocate Jennifer Storm, many district attorneys and others across the state defend the constitutionality of H.B. 1947 with its revival provision.
The excuses that existed with the first votes are gone.
We legislators should insist that our leaders let the process take place so we can demonstrate to our constituents that we support victims over predators.
We legislators don't want to be asked, as was asked in "Spotlight," "What took you so long?"

Usain Bolt has turned down a two-year deal from Maltese champions Valletta FC, as he continues his pursuit to become a professional footballer.
The winner of eight Olympic sprinting titles, who retired from athletics in 2017, is currently on trial at Australia's Central Coast Mariners.
Bolt, 32, scored two goals in a recent pre-season friendly but has not been offered a contract.
"Usain does not wish to pursue this Malta opportunity," said his agent.
"There is a lot of interest in Usain playing football," Ricky Simms also told ESPN. "We regularly receive similar approaches."
In response, Valletta chief executive Ghasston Slimen said: "We wish Usain Bolt all the best with his football career. The Valletta FC offer is always on the table."
Australia's Daily Telegraph reported that Bolt and Mariners chief executive Shaun Mielekamp spoke about the Jamaican's future at the A-League club, who begin their domestic campaign on Sunday.
The Mariners are said to be waiting for governing body Football Federation Australia to decide whether it will contribute to a potential $3m Aus (£1.63m) offer to the 100m and 200m world record holder.
Mariners coach Mike Mulvey was reluctant to talk about Bolt on Thursday, adding he was not involved in negotiations.
"I'm really not interested in it [contract speculation] to tell you the truth," he said.
"He's been great among the guys and I was happy for him last week with the two goals he scored, but we move on."
Lisa Boulton reads her book, "Toby Bear and the Healing Light" to children at Nevada City School of the Arts.
For more information on crowdfunding to provide a bear that accompanies the book for hospitalized children, contact Lisa Boulton at LisaMarieBoulton@gmail.com.
In 2009, Lisa Boulton went in for a routine check up and within a matter of minutes, her life would never be the same.
The doctor found a lump in her breast, and after further tests, she was diagnosed with cancer. Her mother had died of breast cancer 25 years earlier.
Her life became a series of trips from Nevada City to Oakland surgeons for routine treatments.
Once a portable catheter was surgically imbedded into her chest for chemotherapy, Boulton discovered that seat belts were incredibly uncomfortable.
When her cousin Toby heard about this, he bought a little brown bear at Foothill Mercantile that could serve as a cushion from the seatbelt.
Investing fully in her fight to save her own life, Boulton shifted to an all-organic diet rich in nutrients and began to practice meditation, yoga, breathing exercises and visualization. It helped.
That was “the call,” said Boulton, and just as quickly the fuzzy brown bear from her cousin became the vehicle for her mission — to help children with serious illnesses understand there is more to healing than medicine.
She would write stories for children who are ill, featuring the brown bear — whom she aptly named Toby.
In collaboration with photographer and illustrator Lisa Redfern, “Toby Bear and the Healing Light” was published in 2012 by Little Mountain Publishing in Grass Valley.
The book features the journey of “Toby Bear” from a local toy store into the arms of a sick child who is hospitalized.
Photo illustrations are set in businesses and houses throughout Nevada County — including Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital.
Toward the end of the book, Toby and the little girl practice simple yoga poses to gain strength.
“Toby Bear and the Healing Light” is now on sale at The Book Seller in Grass Valley, as well as Harmony Books and Inner Path in Nevada City.
When Maryellen Beauchamp, Nevada County’s Public Health Nurse Case Manager for California Children’s Services, heard about Boulton’s book, she ordered copies to give as gifts to the age-appropriate children in her program.
Beauchamp oversees and orchestrates multifaceted medical assistance for nearly 300 Nevada County children with severe health issues.
These can range from growth plate or skull fractures, endocrine, neurological, orthopedic, and metabolic disorders to cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy and premature infants.
These families are often required to make long drives to special care units at the likes of UC Davis, UC San Francisco and the Stanford University Medical Center.
Given the positive reception of “Toby Bear and the Healing Light,” Boulton says the new book is just the first step for the little bear.
She is now in the process of organizing a crowd-funding effort to provide actual, cuddly Toby Bears for hospitalized children to go along with each book.
Fiji's Western Division Commissioner says they must ensure that people have enough food following the devastating floods earlier this month.
More than 600 people are still sheltering in sixteen evacuation centres in the western division after their homes and food gardens were destroyed by the floods.
Joeli Rokovada says there's enough food that's being distributed among the affected people, but he adds they must also look into the near future to ensure supply.
"The focus is the maintanance of food security. We are implementing the agriculture re-distribution programme through the provision of seedlings to the farmers to ensure that crops, like sweet potatoes and vegetables, they should be ready in say three months time."
Joeli Rokovada says officials are also focusing on disease control and community education programmes.
Antivirus software vendor Sophos has reported the discovery of a DoS vulnerability in some of its products. According to the security advisory, specially crafted attachments to emails can bring down Sophos E-mail Appliance, Pure Message for UNIX and Sophos Anti-Virus Interface (SAVI). For the attack to succeed, the MIME attachment has to have a length of zero. Sophos says that only Linux/UNIX installations are affected.
Apparently, the flaw only turned up after the recent July update – signature version 4.31 and engine 2.75. The flaw has already been updated in SAVI with new virus signatures. Sophos has reactivated the old updates – 4.30 and 2.7 – for Appliance and Pure Message, respectively, and is now working to fix the underlying flaw in the engine. The vendor will then release a new update.
A polarized nation is now more deeply divided.
In a single flurry of elections Tuesday, Democrats took control of the House of Representatives. Republicans held their grip on the Senate. And the breach that divides Americans — urban from rural, white from black, conservative from liberal — stretched ever wider.
The midterm results highlight a political sorting in America that has accelerated during Donald Trump's presidency. Race, class and geography separate the parties as much as ideology, with the president as the dividing line.
Democrats surged to their new House majority by picking up seats in more affluent and highly educated suburban districts. Voters in the suburbs skewed toward Democrats by a nearly 10-percentage-point margin, according to AP VoteCast, the national survey of the electorate.
