This weekend, Curiosity successfully landed on Mars. Now the one-ton roving robotic laboratory, part of NASA's four-ton Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft, gets down to business. Its task? Determining whether Mars ever did or could support life. That's the big question. To quote Humphrey Bogart's Rick in "Casablanca": "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world," why should life occur only on planet Earth? Living organisms are found in the most improbable places -- in the dark, sulfurous depths of the oceans and in the driest deserts. News: Curiosity rover lands on Mars All it takes is some water, carbon, a few other elements and energy.

Question:
James was born on December 30, 1984 in Akron, Ohio to a 16-year-old mother, Gloria Marie James, who raised him on her own. When James was growing up, life was often a struggle for the family, as they moved from apartment to apartment in the seedier neighborhoods of Akron while Gloria struggled to find steady work. Realizing that her son would be better off in a more stable family environment, Gloria allowed him to move in with the family of Frank Walker, a local youth football coach, who introduced James to basketball when he was nine years old. As a youth, James played Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) basketball for the Northeast Ohio Shooting Stars.
At the conclusion of the 2008-09 season, James finished second in NBA Defensive Player of the Year voting and made his first NBA All-Defensive Team, posting 23 chase-down blocks and a career-high 93 total blocks. He also became only the fourth postmerger player to lead his team in points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks in a single season. Behind his play and the acquisition of All-Star guard Mo Williams, Cleveland went a franchise record 66-16 and fell just one game short of matching the best home record in league history. With final averages of 28.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game, James became the first Cavalier to win the MVP Award. Reflecting on James's performance for ESPN, John Hollinger later wrote, "He's having what is arguably the greatest individual season in history, and it's time we gave him his due for it." In the playoffs, Cleveland swept the Pistons and the Atlanta Hawks to earn a matchup with the Orlando Magic in the Conference Finals. In Game 1 of the series, James scored 49 points on 66 percent shooting in a losing effort for the Cavaliers. In Game 2, he hit a game-winner to tie the series at 1-1. Cleveland would lose the series in six games, and following the loss in Game 6, James immediately left the floor without shaking hands with his opponents, which was an act that many media members viewed as unsportsmanlike. For the series, he averaged 38.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 8 assists per game, finishing the postseason with a career playoff-high 35.3 points per game. In February of the 2009-10 season, James was forced into a temporary point guard role following a series of injuries to the Cavaliers' backcourt. Behind his leadership, Cleveland lost no momentum, finishing the year with the best record in the league for the second consecutive season. Due in part to his increased minutes as the Cavaliers' primary ball handler, James increased his statistical production, averaging 29.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 8.6 assists, 1.6 steals, and 1 block per game on 50 percent shooting en route to another MVP Award. To open the playoffs, Cleveland advanced past the Bulls to earn a matchup with the Celtics in the second round. James was heavily criticized for not playing well in Game 5 of the series, shooting only 20 percent on 14 shots and scoring 15 points. The team suffered its worst loss in franchise history, and at the conclusion of the game, James walked off the court to a smattering of boos from Cleveland's home crowd. The Cavaliers were officially eliminated from the postseason in Game 6, with James posting 27 points, 19 rebounds, 10 assists, and nine turnovers in the losing effort.

Question:
Giuseppe Fortunino Francesco Verdi (Italian: [dZu'zeppe 'verdi]; 9 or 10 October 1813 - 27 January 1901) was an Italian opera composer. He was born near Busseto to a provincial family of moderate means, and developed a musical education with the help of a local patron. Verdi came to dominate the Italian opera scene after the era of Vincenzo Bellini, Gaetano Donizetti, and Gioachino Rossini, whose works significantly influenced him. By his 30s, he had become one of the pre-eminent opera composers in history.
The writer Friedrich Schiller (four of whose plays were adapted as operas by Verdi) distinguished two types of artist in his 1795 essay On Naive and Sentimental Poetry. The philosopher Isaiah Berlin ranked Verdi in the 'naive' category--"They are not...self-conscious. They do not...stand aside to contemplate their creations and express their own feelings....They are able...if they have genius, to embody their vision fully." (The 'sentimentals' seek to recreate nature and natural feelings on their own terms--Berlin instances Wagner--"offering not peace, but a sword.") Verdi's operas are not written according to an aesthetic theory, or with a purpose to change the tastes of their audiences. In conversation with a German visitor in 1887 he is recorded as saying that, whilst "there was much to be admired in [Wagner's operas] Tannhauser and Lohengrin...in his recent operas [Wagner] seemed to be overstepping the bounds of what can be expressed in music. For him "philosophical" music was incomprehensible." Although Verdi's works belong, as Rosselli admits "to the most artificial of genres...[they] ring emotionally true: truth and directness make them exciting, often hugely so." That is not to say his operas did not come as great innovations. What sounds to a modern listener as derivative of the bel canto, his first major success, Nabucco, came as a something entirely new. Never before had opera been so harmonically complex and direct. No longer was there the empty vocal display of the bel canto period composers. Granted, there is a significant amount of vocal fireworks, but they exist for the purpose of drama, not to show off singers. Aside from this, his use of the chorus was entirely new. Before Nabucco, an opera's chorus was limited to be only a background voice, another instrument. In Nabucco, this is abolished; he uses the chorus as character, to show the suffering and consensus of the people. The famous "Va, pensiero" is an example of this. The first of his "big three" operas, Rigoletto, followed by La Traviata, and ending with Il Trovatore, also was revolutionary. In a letter to Rigoletto's librettist, Francesco Maria Piave, he says, "I conceived Rigoletto almost without arias, without finales but only an unending string of duets." And that it is. Rigoletto is one of, if not the earliest operas to abandon the traditional distinction between the sung aria, and the more speech-like recitative. After these three operas, his works took an increasing amount of time to finish, were significantly longer, and more masterfully orchestrated.

The truth behind Costa Rica’s renewable energy
This month, Costa Rica’s state-run electricity company announced that the country had gone 75 days using only renewable resources for electricity. Costa Ricans are the first in the world to power their country for so long without the use of fossil fuels, and the record-breaking achievement was quickly picked up by news agencies all over the world.
Costa Rican residents have certainly benefited from the clean energy, with electricity prices set to tumble between 7% and 15% in April. But despite the world’s congratulatory backslaps for the renowned green country, its clean energy production is not likely to last at this scale, nor is it a model that would work in many other parts of the world.
Related: Conservationist murders threaten Costa Rica's eco-friendly reputation
Costa Rica gets most of its electricity from hydroelectric plants and a recent period of unusually heavy rain allowed the country to reach the milestone. This clean power is bolstered by geothermic energy from the country’s volcanoes and a small amount of wind and solar power. Most years, these sources allow Costa Rica to generate approximately 90% of its electricity without burning fossil fuels.
The abundance of natural resources, combined with Costa Rica’s strong commitment to environmentalism, spurred policymakers to set a goal for carbon neutrality by 2021. If Costa Rica meets the target, it will likely become the first carbon-neutral country in the world, but there are obstacles.
The downside to hydropower is that it requires consistent rainfall. Though the dams in Costa Rica are now full, just months ago the country was suffering one of the worst droughts in its history. This forced Costa Rican utility companies to burn fuel to generate power, releasing greenhouse gases and causing rate rises.
This unpredictability in rain patterns isn’t unique to Costa Rica and is considered to be one of the primary effects of climate change. Ironically, this means that the bulging reservoirs that gave Costa Rica its green energy surge are likely to be attributable, at least partially, to climate change. And while there is plenty of clean power today, it could just as easily be gone tomorrow.
Even if Costa Rica were able to sustain 100% clean electricity production, the country still relies on petroleum for transportation, and emissions from this sector are the largest hurdle the country faces in reaching its carbon neutrality goal. The environment ministry reports that fuel burned by cars, buses and trains accounted for almost 70% of the country’s carbon emissions in 2014. According to customs there are only 200 or so hybrid cars in Costa Rica to take advantage of the energy produced by renewables on the grid.
The fact that even a country like Costa Rica, which has made major investments to produce clean energy, still struggles with these obstacles, shows just how difficult it would be for larger, more industrialised nations to follow in its footsteps.
With a population under 5 million and no major industry, Costa Rica uses much less power than most developed countries, and its geography of tightly packed volcanoes, rivers and mountains is more suited to producing clean power than most. Though small, Costa Rica is able to produce enough energy to power itself while leaving much of its wilderness intact.
To tap into all of the natural resources in the rest of the world would require environmental loss of a different kind, by altering rivers, displacing people and animals, and destroying vegetation. Solar and nuclear power offer other alternatives for clean energy but need more research and investment to make them cost-effective and safe. Even if it were possible to power the world’s largest countries with renewable energy, the destruction required would be unfathomable with only the current technologies.
These limitations, along with a lack of political will, are what has meant the world relied on fossil fuels for almost 90% of its energy since 1999. As admirable as Costa Rica’s feats in energy production may be, its model is not realistic for the world’s largest energy consumers.
But what most of the industrialised world lacks in natural resources, it more than makes up for with other assets. To seriously make a difference in global energy consumption would require significant investment in the research and design of new sources of non-polluting energy, a task most easily funded by richer nations.
While the world may not be able to tailor its energy programmes to Costa Rica’s geography-specific model, the lesson here is not about science and infrastructure, but about volition and ideals.

Problem: Article: Bright colors pop and get people’s attention. Add vibrant pinks, greens, or blues to the flyer so it stands out. For example, you could make the background of the flyer magenta or turquoise and add a vibrant-colored border around it. Contrasting colors are colors that are opposite on the color wheel. Colors that contrast make each other stand out, so incorporating them into your design can help people notice the flyer more easily. Some contrasting colors you could use are blue and orange, yellow and purple, and green and red. Try using only shades of blue or all reds. You don't have to use a lot of colors for the flyer to catch people's attention; people just want to look at something aesthetically pleasing. You can achieve that with one eye-catching color. A high-quality photo will get people's attention, just make sure it's relevant to the event. Avoid using photos that are blurry or low-quality. For example, if you're advertising an event at the beach, you could use a photo of a palm-tree-lined beach that has vibrant greens and blues.
Summary: Use bold, vibrant colors in your design. Use contrasting colors to make the flyer pop. Stick to one color for a simpler flyer. Add a crisp, colorful photo to your design.
INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Wash and dry your face so it is a clean palette. Using a makeup sponge or your clean fingers, apply a dab of foundation that is lighter than your skin tone on your forehead, cheeks, and under your chin. Blend in the foundation so it covers your entire face, but leave the area around your eyes and your lips bare. You can also use white face paint and apply it with a makeup sponge. You want to appear very pale and dead to achieve the ideal vampire look. You should apply the foundation on your neck and your chest, especially if these areas are going to be exposed when you are in your vampire costume. To give your face more definition, you can apply a light gray face paint or foundation under your cheekbones and your jawline so your face appears more hollow and skeleton like. Keep your foundation or face paint in place by applying a press powder in a very pale shade. You can use a brush to spread the powder over your face or press the powder to your face using a makeup sponge. Start by making your eyebrows appear more dramatic with a black brow liner or black eyeshadow. Apply the brow liner or eyeshadow to your eyebrows with a makeup brush. This will help to highlight your eyeshadow and eyeliner and give you a more bold look. Then, use the purple eye shadow to create dramatic eye circles under your eyes. Apply the purple eye shadow on your eyelids, on the area below your eyebrows, and under your eyes using a makeup brush. Do not be afraid to make the circles noticeable on your face; they are part of the dead look after all! Alternatively, you can use the red eyeshadow to give your eyes a more blood like look. Apply black eyeshadow to your eyelids first, making the shadow appear darker on the inside area of your eyelids. Then, apply red eyeshadow above the black on your eyelids so it sits right underneath your eyebrows. Blend the red eyeshadow a little bit with the black eyeshadow. Finish your eyeshadow look by applying red eyeshadow underneath your eyes so your eyes appear spooky and dead-like. Finish your eye makeup by applying black eyeliner along your waterline, which is the line underneath your eye, and smudging the eyeliner with a makeup brush. Apply black eyeliner to the top line of your eyes and smudge this eyeliner as well. The eyeliner should appear smoky and blended against your eye shadow. For a glam vampire look, you may decide to create wings with your eyeliner. Use a small thin makeup brush to draw the eyeliner out into an upward wing shape on either side of your eyes. You can then darken this wing shape with more eyeliner and blend it using black eyeshadow. You can also apply black mascara to your eyelashes. This will make your eyes appear bold and dark. If you are familiar with how to apply false eyelashes to your eyes, you can also use fake black eyelashes for a very dramatic vampire look. Once you have completed the eye makeup, you can move on to your lips. For a dramatic effect, give your lips a blood red look using red lipstick or red lip color. Before you apply lipstick, use a lip brush to outline your lips and make your lipstick stay put. Then, apply the red lipstick to your lips, making sure you cover both lips well and evenly. You can also use a lip brush to apply red lip color to your lips. Start by lining your lips with lip liner and then using a makeup brush to apply the red lip color. . You can buy white contact lenses at your local drugstore or at a costume shop. They are not required for a vampire makeup look but they will make you look more scary and dead-like. Vampires are often depicted as having eye color that ranges from from soft, dark gray to blood red (if they're super hungry). If you want, you can get contact lenses that also change the iris color to one of these, or any color in between. Insert the contact lenses using clean fingers. Be careful not to smudge your eye makeup as you insert the lenses. Complete the vampire makeup by applying your fake fangs and the fake blood. Use the adhesive for the fangs to attach them to your mouth or your teeth. Apply the fake blood by holding the open tube by one corner of your lips. Let the blood drip out of the tube onto your face so it rolls down your chin and dries. Use clean fingers to smudge the blood by the corner of your mouth slightly so it looks more realistic. Repeat the same process on the other side of your mouth so it looks like you have two long drips of blood by your mouth. The blood will help you look like a more convincing and scary vampire.
SUMMARY: Start with a very pale foundation or white face paint. Use a press powder to set the foundation or paint. Apply brow liner and eyeshadow. Use black eyeliner and mascara. Apply lip makeup. Insert the white contact lenses Finish your look with fake fangs and fake blood.
In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Bond agents typically have offices near local jails or criminal courts, and they often have a lot of information about people who've been arrested or charges that have been filed. Much of a bond agent's business comes from being easily accessible and easy to find, so it should be easy to locate a number of bond agents nearby. Bond agent offices frequently are open late hours and weekends, so it may be easier to track down a bond agent than it is to call the jail. Particularly if the person has already been booked, a bond agent with an office near the jail may have information on whether the person has been arrested or is being held at the local jail. Even if you end up not using the bond agent to bail the person out, they typically are willing to provide you any information they may have. A bond agent also may be able to help you if you aren't sure about the person's legal name. If they were present when the person was booked, they may be able to recognize the person from a physical description. How much information a bond agent will have often depends on how busy the jail was on that particular night. If the bond agent is located in a small town or relatively rural area, you probably can get more information than if you live in a densely populated urban area. If the person has been arrested and booked in the local jail, and you want to help get them out, the bond agent can help you find out whether the person's bond has been set and what you can do to pay it.

(CNN) -- If anyone wants to transform the old, lifeless, "white-guys-in suits" caricature of the Republican Party, look no further: Your dream candidate has arrived. Gabriel Gomez is an antidote to the stuffy Republican establishment that only says "No" and scares next-generation voters away. Sledding uphill in traditionally Democratic Massachusetts, the young and energetic Gomez is running to fill Secretary of State John Kerry's vacated Senate seat, calling himself "a new kind of Republican." Surprisingly, in this bluest of states, he has drawn within single digits of his Democratic challenger. Even stranger, perhaps, is that GOP money and support has not matched the flood of Democratic money that is pouring in on behalf of his opponent. Gomez has made it a close race with only a modicum of GOP help.

Q:
Jimmy Feigen on gas station incident: 'I'm so sorry for the drama this has caused'
Jimmy Feigen, one of the swimmers caught up in the Olympic gas station hold-up that wasn’t, has issued an apology for “the drama this has caused in everyone’s lives” and admitted he left out details of the story to try to protect his team-mates.
Feigen, 26, was one of four swimmers who Ryan Lochte said had been held up at gunpoint and their possessions taken after a night of partying. But the story was not quite as it seemed: Lochte admitted that he “overexaggerated” the details of what happened, although he did say two security guards from the gas station pointed their guns at the swimmers in a dispute about an apparent act of vandalism.
“First and foremost I would like to apologize for the serious distractions from the Olympics, Rio de Janeiro, and Team USA,” Feigen said in an apology posted on his lawyers’ website on Tuesday night. “It was never my intent to draw attention away from the tradition of athletic competition and the symbolic cooperation of countries participating in the Olympic games.
“I am so sorry for the drama this has caused in everyone’s lives. I am very thankful to be home in the United States with my family and that this ordeal has come to an end.”
Lochte, in an interview with NBC on Saturday, acknowledged it was his “immature behavior” that started the drama. He apologized for his “stupid mistake” and said such “shenanigans” would not happen again.
In his statement, Feigen explained what happened after he, Lochte, Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger left a party at 5am and headed back to the Olympic Village. He said the swimmers urinated on some grass behind the gas station but did not vandalize the restrooms.
“We pulled over to a gas station to use the bathroom but the door was locked,” Feigen wrote. “We did not force entry into the bathroom, nor did we ever enter the bathroom. We did, however, make the regrettable decision to urinate in the grass behind the building.
“On our way back to the cab, Ryan Lochte pulled a poster in a metal frame off a wall. I got back into the cab and waited for the others. One of my team-mates told me that a man with a gun was standing outside the cab. The man with the gun spoke with the cab driver, who got out of the cab. We then got out of the cab and I paid the driver the fare. As I walked away, the man with the gun pointed it at me and my teammate and ordered us, in Portuguese, to sit. This was the first time I have ever had a gun pointed at me and I was terrified.
“I put my hands up and sat down on the curb. It became apparent that the man with the gun was telling us to pay, and I was unsure if they were affiliated with the gas station. Gunnar Bentz and I gave the man some money. We were then allowed to leave and we took another cab to the Village, arriving around 7am. Later that day, a Rio police detective came to the USA House to take a statement. Since I was the only person available, I was told by a USOC official to provide a statement.
Feigen had his passport seized while the matter was being investigated. He reached an agreement with a Brazilian judge to pay a $10,800 fine in exchange for the return of his passport so he could leave the country.
He said he left out some of the details of what happened to shield his colleagues.
“I realize that I made a mistake for omitting these facts,” Feigen said. “I was trying to protect my team-mates and for this I apologize.”

Q:
Iranian news agency says the U.S. is secretly run by Nazi space aliens. Really.
Screenshot of Fars News' English edition.
Iran's semi-official news outlets have something of a reputation for taking conspiracy theorism to the next level. They've written on Israel's secret plans to annex Iraq, the conspiracy by Western media to fabricate quotes by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani condemning the Holocaust and the secret Jewishness of the British royal family. You may notice a certain theme here.
On Sunday, the hard-line semi-official Fars News dropped one of its biggest bombshells yet: The United States government has been secretly run by a "shadow government" of space aliens since 1945. Yes, space aliens. The alien government is based out of Nevada and had previously run Nazi Germany. It adds, for timeliness, that the controversial NSA programs are actually a tool for the aliens to hide their presence on Earth and their secret agenda for global domination. This is all asserted as incontrovertible fact with no caveats.
There are so many wonderful details here. As proof that aliens were secretly behind the Nazis, the report explains that Germany built hundreds of submarines toward the end of the war, far more than would have been possible with mere human technology. It does not explain why aliens with access to interstellar travel built subs that were so grossly incapable against the British navy, or why all-powerful extraterrestrials were unable to help the Nazis resist an invasion by Allied forces that are mere cavemen relative to their own technology. So far, these are pretty unimpressive aliens.
In any case, after losing the war, the aliens apparently installed themselves as the secret force behind the United States government. President Obama is said to be a tool of the aliens, though anti-alien factions within the U.S. government are fighting to topple him. Their present aim is to install a global surveillance system that will, somehow, allow them to finally impose a one-world government and enslave humanity.
The best part to all this, to me, is the sourcing. Fars News takes us through a veritable hall-of-mirrors of sources "confirming" their scoop. The progenitor of it all, of course, is ostensibly NSA leaker Edward Snowden, who has waited until now to reveal that the real reason for all those NSA programs is aliens. As best I can tell, Fars claims that Snowden gave this information to Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB). They also say it was independently confirmed by former Canadian defense minister Paul Hellyer. (Hellyer, who is 90, does indeed argue that aliens have visited Earth many times, though I haven't seen him comment on this particular story.) The FSB, they say, put all this information down in a secret report, which was inexplicably obtained by the ultra-fringe conspiracy theory Web site, Whatdoesitmean.com.
Yes, this story is highly entertaining, as are many of the bizarre conspiracy theories proposed by official or semi-official news agencies in authoritarian states. But there's also a more serious undercurrent here. A worldview that sees the U.S. as an evil hegemonic force so irrationally driven toward global domination that it must be run by space aliens is not a worldview that is predisposed toward negotiation or accommodation. It's one that justified, or perhaps even necessitates, total resistance and a refusal to compromise. To be clear, this does not appear to be the present view of the Iranian president; the ongoing and highly public friction between Rouhani's moderate-minded camp and Fars is proof enough of that. But the fact that there are people anywhere within the Iranian system sympathetic enough to this viewpoint to let through an article like this is a reminder of how some hard-liners see the world.

Jared Fogle's weight-loss story made him a celebrity, but his career may be forever damaged after police searched the Subway spokesman's home two months after an associate's arrest on child pornography charges.
The FBI, Indiana State Police and U.S. Postal Service on Tuesday grabbed documents, electronics and other items from Fogle's Zionsville home. From early morning through early evening officials streamed back and forth between the house and a large evidence truck parked in the driveway.
Authorities would not comment on the nature of the investigation.
Fogle is assisting investigators, his attorney said.
"Jared has been cooperating, and continues to cooperate, with law enforcement in their investigation of unspecified charges and looks forward to its conclusion," attorney Ron Elberger said in an email. "He has not been detained, arrested or charged with any crime or offense."
Subway in a statement Tuesday said the fast-food giant and its everyman pitchman were "suspending their relationship" because of the probe. Earlier in the day the company said it was "shocked" over the news. By the end of the day it had pulled a page on Fogle from its website.
Fogle's rise as a sandwich spokesman turned the Hoosier into a celebrity. He was a 425-pound freshman at Indiana University when he embarked on an unusual diet of turkey and veggie subs in 1998. After losing 235 pounds he began to appear in television commercials for Subway.
He has since starred in more than 300 Subway commercials, appeared in numerous television shows and movies, wrote an autobiographical book and pulls in $5,000 to $10,000 for personal appearances. His net worth now may exceed $15 million, estimates celebritynetworth.com.
Officials from the FBI and the Indiana State Police referred questions about the search of Fogle's home to the U.S. attorney's office. A spokesman there said Department of Justice policy prohibits confirming or denying the existence of an investigation.
The search follows the May arrest of a man hired in 2008 to run Fogle's nonprofit, The Jared Foundation, which through trips to schools and other events encourages children to develop habits of healthy eating and exercise.
Russell Taylor, 43, of Indianapolis, was charged with seven counts of production of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography. Detectives said Taylor had produced and possessed child pornography involving children — both boys and girls — as young as 9 years old, court documents said.
Two thumb drives found in Taylor's home office appeared to have a link to Fogle or his foundation, according to court records.
One drive, police said, contained "commercially made child pornography from Eastern Europe similar to that seized on other investigations" and "revealed a document file with Taylor's employer listed in the file name."
In the documents, the investigating detective described another drive in which "videos of child pornography and child erotica were recovered as were documents related to his employment as director of a foundation."

Fogle, who founded The Jared Foundation in 2004, fired Taylor soon after his arrest. Fogle issued a statement saying that he was "shocked" and that his foundation was "severing all ties" with Taylor.
Taylor while in custody at the Marion County Jail on May 6 attempted suicide. He survived and was put on life support.
Tim Horty, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office, said Tuesday that Taylor's health has improved and that he was in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
A tip from a woman who reached out to Indiana State Police prompted the investigation into Taylor, court records said. The woman said Taylor offered to send her images and videos of young girls by text message, and she also raised concerns about bestiality and other sexual matters.
Officers searching Taylor's home in the 1300 block of Salem Creek Boulevard on April 29 found several digital media cards and thumb drives that included "multiple video files of nude or partially nude minor children," court documents said. More than 400 videos of child pornography were found.
Many of the images appeared to have been made in bedrooms and bathrooms at Taylor's former and current homes, police said. "Many of these videos showed the exposed genitals or pubic area of the children," both boys and girls, court records said. The "minors did not appear to be aware that they were being filmed."
The court documents also said Taylor had an interest in bestiality and shared images with an unnamed person involving a "dog licking the nude genital area of an adult female."
Taylor has not been charged with any crimes related to bestiality.
The attorney on record for Taylor did not respond to a request for comment after his initial arrest.
On June 3, federal authorities asked for additional time in which to present the case against Taylor to a federal grand jury for indictment. According to court documents, that request was granted two days later. The court ordered that the government's time to review the evidence in the case could be extended until Aug. 3.
Authorities began searching Fogle's home in the 4500 block of Woods Edge Drive before sunrise Tuesday morning. By 7:30 a.m. officers were seen removing electronics, documents and other items and loading them into the evidence truck.
FBI spokeswoman Wendy Osborne did confirm that the agency was conducting a criminal investigation in Zionsville but declined to elaborate further.
Subway said in a statement that it is "shocked" by the news and believes the search of Fogle's home was related to Taylor's arrest.
Fogle stepped out of the evidence truck before leaving in a black Lexus with his attorney, who returned to the home later in the day without Fogle.
The home was surrounded by police, media and curious neighbors. About two dozen vehicles lined the nearby street, including several squad cars and at least two media satellite trucks.
An officer from the Zionsville Police Department walked back and forth on the street. Curious neighbors and passersby also walked by, pausing to gawk at the spectacle.
Neighbors said the Fogle family was cordial but private. Other residents declined to discuss their neighbors.
"He's a private guy," Jacob Schrader, 19, said.
Schrader said he saw Fogle walking the neighborhood or getting his mail. Other neighbors said Fogle would appear outside from time to time and give a friendly wave.
On Tuesday, the blinds were drawn on the home.

Investigators raided the Indiana home of longtime Subway pitchman Jared Fogle on Tuesday, seizing electronics in a search that the sandwich chain says might be linked to the earlier arrest of someone who once worked for him.
Agents took computers from Fogle's home in Zionsville, just north of Indianapolis, after arriving at about 6 a.m., Fogle attorney Ron Elberger said, without disclosing what they were looking for.
Elberger said Fogle, the man who soared to fame 15 years ago after saying he shed more than 200 pounds in part through a Subway diet, has not been arrested or charged with any crime.
The sandwich chain said Tuesday that it was parting ways with Fogle.
"Subway and Jared Fogle have mutually agreed to suspend their relationship due to the current investigation," a Subway spokesman said in a statement. "Jared continues to cooperate with authorities, and he expects no actions to be forthcoming. Both Jared and Subway agree that this was the appropriate step to take."
Tuesday's raid comes more than two months after the executive director of the Jared Foundation -- Fogle's organization that aspires to combat childhood obesity -- was arrested in Indianapolis on federal child pornography charges.
Authorities haven't said anything linking the search at Fogle's home to that case or any other investigation.
Attorney: He has not been charged with any crime
"Jared has been cooperating with law enforcement in its investigation of certain unspecified activities and looks forward to its conclusion," Elberger said.
FBI Special Agent Wendy Osborne, responding to questions, said that the agency is "conducting investigative activity in the area," but that she couldn't discuss the nature of the probe. U.S. Attorney's Office spokesman Tim Horty said he couldn't confirm or deny an investigation.
But Subway said that it believed the search was "related to a prior investigation" of someone who used to work for Fogle's foundation.
"We are shocked about the news and believe it (Tuesday's search) is related to a prior investigation of a former Jared Foundation employee," a Subway spokesman said. "We are very concerned and will be monitoring the situation closely. We don't have any more details at this point."
Subway didn't name the former Jared Foundation worker or elaborate on that case.
Foundation's former executive director charged
Authorities have previously said that the foundation's former executive director, Russell C. Taylor, 43, of Indianapolis, was charged in early May with seven counts of production of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography.
During a late April search at Taylor's home, authorities found "a cache of sexually explicit photos and videos Taylor allegedly produced by secretly filming minor children" there, federal prosecutors said in a May news release.
Adam Brower, an attorney for Taylor, declined to comment on the allegations Tuesday.
After Taylor's arrest, Fogle issued a statement saying that he was shocked at the allegations and that his foundation was severing its ties with Taylor, WTHR reported.
On Tuesday, a nonuniformed man escorted Fogle from his home into a white truck parked in his driveway, video from CNN affiliate WTHR showed. The video shows gloved investigators carrying electronics from the home.
Later, WTHR reported, Fogle left the property in a car with his attorney.
Authorities have spoken to Fogle previously about the case involving his foundation's former executive director, Elberger said.
Subway commercials brought fame
Fogle became famous in 2000 when the sandwich chain released a commercial centered on his claims that he dropped about 245 pounds -- from a peak weight of 425 -- in one year as an Indiana University student, thanks in part to exercise and a simpler diet involving Subway subs.
He served as a Subway pitchman in the ensuing years.
In 2013, he told CNN's "Piers Morgan Live" that he traveled almost 200 days a year for his job with Subway, and that he still was focused on keeping weight off.
"I don't eat (Subway) every single day anymore. (It's) in moderation. I tell you, I kept the weight off for 15 years. I still probably average eating it three or four days a week," he said. ||||| Jared who?
Subway is shelving its relationship with longtime spokesman Jared Fogle, the restaurant chain announced Tuesday afternoon, hours after reports surfaced that federal authorities had raided Fogle’s suburban Indianapolis home.
"Subway and Jared Fogle have mutually agreed to suspend their relationship due to the current investigation," the company said in a statement. "Jared continues to cooperate with authorities and he expects no actions to be forthcoming."
No charges have been filed against Fogle, and federal authorities would not confirm the investigation, but a former executive with Fogle's Jared Foundation was charged in May with making and possessing child pornography.
Earlier Tuesday, Subway announced that it was "shocked by the news" about Fogle, and it set about removing the spokesman’s presence from its website, starting with pages detailing Fogle's story and history with the company. It was at least another hour before Subway scrubbed a game called "Jared's Pants Dance" from its kids site.
Subway is probably "hedging its bets" and following good crisis management, said Ira Kalb, assistant professor of clinical marketing at the USC Marshall School of Business.
The chain will have to drop Fogle if he's charged, but in the meantime it should stay quiet and avoid promoting any rumors, Kalb said.
"If something happens to his reputation, that is going to spill over to the brand," Kalb said. "That is why many brands use mascots…. People sometimes get into trouble, and if they do, they take the brand with them."
Kalb cited several examples of brands dropping spokespeople who are experiencing bad press: Temple University severed ties with Bill Cosby last year amid allegations of sexual assault; Aflac dumped Gilbert Gottfried as the voice of its duck after the comedian joked about victims of Japan’s massive 2011 earthquake; and the Florida Citrus Commission dropped beauty queen Anita Bryant in the 1970s after she made anti-gay comments that sparked national backlash.

Some brands dropped athletes such as Kobe Bryant amid a rape case and Tiger Woods after his sex scandal, though Kalb said that athletic brands tend to hang on to athletes unless they cheated in the sport -- such as the case with Lance Armstrong.
"The problem is that the people who are on these huge pedestals – when they have a fall, they come crashing down," Kalb said.
Fogle, 37, has appeared in the sandwich chain's ads for more than 15 years, touting the "Subway diet," which he claimed helped him lose 245 pounds. Known to many as "the Subway guy," Fogle helped the restaurant become a central part of a burgeoning healthy eating movement, at one point joining First Lady Michelle Obama at an event as part of her campaign to combat childhood obesity.
He rose to fame after Men's Health magazine reported on his weight loss, which began when he was an obese junior at Indiana University. He became a relatable model for those seeking healthier lifestyles — he exercises, but doesn't love it, and still splurges "plenty of times," he told The Times in 2012.
Fogle has been crucial to Subway's marketing. Sales fell 10% after ads featuring him briefly stopped airing in 2005, according to AdAge. Subway also stuck with Fogle after he gained 40 pounds in 2010, encouraging him to run and finish the New York City Marathon that year, AdAge said. Subway also stayed with Michael Phelps after a photograph emerged of the swimmer hitting a bong at a party, which resulted in a three-month competition ban and cost Phelps a reported $500,000 deal with Kellogg’s.
The "before and after" images of Fogle at his highest weight and after his Subway diet are a "very positive association" for the brand, Kalb said.
According to local station WTHR-TV, Fogle's Zionsville, Ind., home was raided by federal and state agents about 6:30 a.m. Tuesday. The station reported that he was detained outside his home but was not under arrest. His wife and children left the home shortly after the raid began, the station reported, and Fogle left with an attorney Tuesday afternoon.
Tim Horty, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office for the Southern District of Indiana, would not say whether his office was investigating. The FBI and Indiana State Police confirmed they were assisting with an investigation in Zionsville, but declined to confirm that he was involved and referred questions to Horty's office.
An attorney for Fogle did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The reported raid at Fogle's house comes two months after the former executive director of the Jared Foundation, which Fogle founded, was arrested on child pornography charges.
Federal prosecutors filed a criminal complaint on May 4 against Russell Taylor, 43, charging him with seven counts of production and one count of possession of child pornography.
A joint task force of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, the Indiana State Police and the FBI raided Taylor's home April 29 after getting a tip that he was in possession of illegal pornographic images. Investigators said they found more than 400 videos of child pornography in Taylor's home office.
Investigators said Taylor "sexually exploited four children" to produce pornography in the bathrooms and bedrooms of his home between 2012 and 2015, according to the criminal complaint. The complaint indicates the children, both male and female, did not know they were being filmed.
Shortly after Taylor's arrest, Fogle released a statement saying he was "shocked" about the allegations and was severing all ties with Taylor, the Associated Press reported.
The investigation into Taylor started in September after a woman he was texting sexual messages to reported him to police, according to the complaint. The woman told police he offered to show her child pornography.
Times staff writer Christine Mai-Duc contributed to this report.

What is a summary? | – Jared Fogle hasn't been charged with anything, but after an FBI raid on his home yesterday, Subway didn't waste any time in cutting its ties with its longtime spokesman. The company announced that they had "mutually agreed to suspend their relationship due to the current investigation"—which is believed to be linked to the child-porn arrest of a former Fogle employee—and his presence, including his history with the company and a game called "Jared's Pants Dance," was scrubbed from the Subway website within hours, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Question: Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dali i Domenech, Marquis of Dali de Pubol (11 May 1904 - 23 January 1989), known professionally as Salvador Dali ( Catalan: [s@lb@'do d@'li]; Spanish: [salba'dor da'li]), was a prominent Spanish surrealist born in Figueres, Catalonia, Spain. Dali was a skilled draftsman, best known for the striking and bizarre images in his surrealist work. His painterly skills are often attributed to the influence of Renaissance masters.
Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dali i Domenech was born on 11 May 1904, at 8:45 am GMT, on the first floor of Carrer Monturiol, 20 (presently 6), in the town of Figueres, in the Emporda region, close to the French border in Catalonia, Spain. In the summer of 1912, the family moved to the top floor of Carrer Monturiol 24 (presently 10). Dali's older brother, who had also been named Salvador (born 12 October 1901), had died of gastroenteritis nine months earlier, on 1 August 1903. His father, Salvador Dali i Cusi, was a middle-class lawyer and notary whose strict disciplinary approach was tempered by his wife, Felipa Domenech Ferres, who encouraged her son's artistic endeavors. When he was five, Dali was taken to his brother's grave and told by his parents that he was his brother's reincarnation, a concept which he came to believe. Of his brother, Dali said, "[we] resembled each other like two drops of water, but we had different reflections." He "was probably a first version of myself but conceived too much in the absolute." Images of his long-dead brother would reappear embedded in his later works, including Portrait of My Dead Brother (1963). Dali also had a sister, Anna Maria, who was three years younger. In 1949, she published a book about her brother, Dali as Seen by His Sister. His childhood friends included future FC Barcelona footballers Sagibarba and Josep Samitier. During holidays at the Catalan resort of Cadaques, the trio played football (soccer) together. Dali attended drawing school. In 1916, he also discovered modern painting on a summer vacation trip to Cadaques with the family of Ramon Pichot, a local artist who made regular trips to Paris. The next year, Dali's father organized an exhibition of his charcoal drawings in their family home. He had his first public exhibition at the Municipal Theatre in Figueres in 1919, a site he would return to decades later. In February 1921, Dali's mother died of breast cancer. Dali was 16 years old; he later said his mother's death "was the greatest blow I had experienced in my life. I worshipped her... I could not resign myself to the loss of a being on whom I counted to make invisible the unavoidable blemishes of my soul." After her death, Dali's father married his deceased wife's sister. Dali did not resent this marriage, because he had a great love and respect for his aunt.

Answer: Dali's older brother, who had also been named Salvador (born 12 October 1901), had died of gastroenteritis
Problem: Anberlin was an American alternative rock band formed in Winter Haven, Florida in 1998 and disbanded in 2014. Since the beginning of 2007, the band consisted of lead vocalist Stephen Christian, guitarists Joseph Milligan and Christian McAlhaney, bassist Deon Rexroat, and drummer Nathan Young. Members of Anberlin originally formed a band under the name SaGoh 24/7 in 1998, releasing two studio albums before disbanding, with the members having a change in musical direction and name. Anberlin was formed in 2002; within a year of forming, they had signed with semi-independent record label Tooth & Nail Records and released their debut album, Blueprints for the Black Market.
In an interview with Common Revolt, Stephen Christian stated that the band had begun work on their next album. A few songs had been written, including one with the working title "Control" (later renamed Orpheum), and a song influenced by the events in Egypt (later confirmed to be "Someone Anyone"). The band announced via Facebook and e-mail in February 2012 that they would be returning to Aaron Sprinkle to record their upcoming album. The band recorded their first three albums with Sprinkle; not only is he a good friend of the band but also a fan favorite. The band will begin recording around the start of March, and are not expected to be finished until May. In a recent interview, Stephen Christian announced their new album is finally done. On June 11, during the Nashville show of their acoustic tour, Stephen Christian announced that the title of the new record would be Vital, calling the record "their most aggressive to date" and also announced a fall release date. On July 31, the band announced on their official website that Vital was to be released on October 16. The new album's opening track, "Self-Starter",' was streamed on Billboard.com for free listening on August 17., and the album's second single, "Someone Anyone" was released on August 22. Infectious Magazine reported on October 26, 2012 that the band had already "made a lot of headway writing for the next record". The band released "City Electric" on September 20, 2013. It is the first of three new and previously unreleased tracks from their rework of Vital, Devotion which was released on October 15, 2013.

– Syrian rebels have killed 28 soldiers at three army checkpoints, including about 10 who were reportedly shot after surrendering, Reuters reports. The latter executions, apparently caught in a (graphic) video, are a "potential war crime," says an Amnesty International spokeswoman, reports the New York Times. The incident "demonstrates an utter disregard for international humanitarian law by the armed group in question." The rebels in the town of Saraqeb, along a major highway connecting Damascus and Aleppo, called the soldiers "Assad's dogs," kicking them and forcing them to lie on top of each other before firing, according to the video, which has not been authenticated. The pro-opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the executions were the work of the rebel group Jabhat al-Nusra, an al-Qaeda-influenced group.
Expand this summary. | This crawl of online resources of the 112th US Congress was performed in Fall of 2012 and early winter of 2013 on behalf of NARA. ||||| A new video from the Syria conflict that circulated via the Internet on Thursday showed antigovernment fighters armed with rifles kicking and summarily executing a group of prisoners, apparently soldiers or militiamen, in what human rights activists called evidence of a war crime and another indication that both sides were increasingly committing atrocities.
The graphic video, which could not be authenticated independently but still attracted the attention of Amnesty International and other rights groups, appeared to have been made in Saraqib, a town in Idlib Province in northern Syria that has been the scene of particularly brutal fighting between rebels and loyalists in the 20-month-old conflict.
In the video, 10 prisoners are shown being forced by their captors to lie next to or atop one another in what remained of a largely destroyed structure that may have been a military checkpoint. The antigovernment fighters, whose precise identity or affiliation was not clear, yell “Allah Akhbar!” or “God is great!” as they kick and herd the prisoners into a pile. Then they open fire.
“This shocking footage depicts a potential war crime in progress, and demonstrates an utter disregard for international humanitarian law by the armed group in question,” said Ann Harrison, deputy director of Amnesty International’s Middle East and North Africa program.
She said, “We will continue to investigate the incident and once again urge all sides to respect the laws of war and to refrain from torturing, ill-treating or killing their prisoners.”
While much of the video and other evidence filtering out of the Syria conflict has depicted government atrocities against civilians, increasingly there have been instances of abuses against government forces and their sympathizers. On July 31, videos posted on YouTube showed rebels in the northern city of Aleppo executing by ad hoc firing squad several members of a prominent family with close ties to President Bashar al-Assad. The victims died in a 45-second hail of bullets after they were forced to sit along the wall of a local school decorated with a mural of Mickey Mouse and SpongeBob SquarePants. ||||| 1 of 8. Free Syrian Army fighters walk near a building damaged after a Syrian Air Force fighter jet loyal to Syria's President Bashar al-Assad fired missiles at Marat al-Numan near the northern province of Idlib October 31, 2012.
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Anti-government rebels killed 28 soldiers on Thursday in attacks on three army checkpoints around Saraqeb, a town on Syria's main north-south highway, a monitoring group said.
Some of the dead were shot after they had surrendered, according to video footage. Rebels berated them, calling them "Assad's Dogs", before firing round after round into their bodies as they lay on the ground.
The highway linking the capital Damascus to the contested city of Aleppo, Syria's commercial center, has been the scene of heavy fighting since rebels cut the road last month. Saraqeb lies about 40 km (25 miles) south of Aleppo
In other developments, China put forward a new initiative to resolve the 19-month-old conflict, including a phased, region-by-region ceasefire and the setting up of a transitional governing body.
A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said Beijing had made the proposal to international peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi - whose own call for a truce over the Muslim holiday of Eid was largely ignored by both sides.
The United States meanwhile has called for an overhaul of Syria's opposition leadership, signaling a break with the largely foreign-based Syrian National Council to bring in more credible figures.
A meeting in Qatar next week of foreign powers backing the rebels will be an opportunity to broaden the coalition against President Bashar al-Assad, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in Zagreb on Wednesday.
The United States and its allies have struggled for months to craft a credible opposition coalition, while Assad has counted on the support of Russia, Iran and, to a lesser extent, China. International efforts to end the violence have all foundered.
More than 32,000 people have been killed since protests against Assad, an Alawite who succeeded his late father Hafez in ruling the mostly Sunni Muslim country, first broke out on city streets. The revolt has since degenerated into full-scale civil war, with the government forces relying heavily on artillery and air strikes to thwart the rebels.
CHECKPOINT ATTACKS
The army has lost swathes of land in Idlib and Aleppo provinces but is fighting to control towns along supply routes to Aleppo city, where its forces are fighting in many districts.
The head of the pro-opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdelrahman, said two of the attacked checkpoints at Saraqeb were on the Damascus-Aleppo highway. The third was near a road linking Aleppo with Latakia, a port city still mostly controlled Assad's forces.
"The rebels will not stay at the checkpoints for long as Syrian warplanes normally bomb positions after rebels move in," Abdelrahman said.
Five rebels died in the fighting and at least 20 soldiers were killed at the third site, including those shot after surrendering, he said.
The video footage showed a group of petrified men, some bleeding, lying on the ground as rebels walked around, kicking and stamping on their captives.
One of the captured men says: "I swear I didn't shoot anyone" to which a rebel responds: "Shut up you animal ... Gather them for me." Then the men are shot dead.
Reuters could not independently verify the footage.
The Observatory said the al Qaeda-inspired Jabhat al-Nusra rebel group was responsible for the executions.
Islamist rebel units are growing in prominence in the war - a cause for concern for international powers as they weigh up what kind of support to give the opposition.
U.S. President Barack Obama's administration has said it is not providing arms to internal opponents of Assad and is limiting its aid to non-lethal humanitarian assistance. It concedes, however, that some of its allies are providing lethal assistance.
Russia and China have blocked three U.N. Security Council resolutions aimed at increasing pressure on the Assad government, leading the United States and its allies to say they could move beyond U.N. structures for their next steps.
China has been strongly criticized by some Arab countries for failing to take a stronger stance on the conflict. Beijing has urged the Assad government to talk to the opposition and take steps to meet demands for political change.
"More and more countries have come to realize that a military option offers no way out, and a political settlement has become an increasingly shared aspiration," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said in Beijing.
He said China's new proposal was aimed at building international consensus and supporting peace envoy Brahimi's mediation efforts.

Answer: It saddens me to write such a bad review for one reason - I might be Fuego Bistro's biggest fan. So you can imagine how excited I was when I heard they were opening a taco place right around the corner from where I live. Sometimes excitement quickly turns to disappointment and sadness, and such is the case with Fuego Tacos. Let's just go start to finish: -Salsa is inedible. Way too spicy, and not good spicy, it's damn take this away spicy -Drinks - half the size of the ones at Fuego Bistro, no good. Not enough alcohol and the Sangria (which is top-notch at Bistro) tasted more like red Kool Aid -Food - not so good. I got the veggie tacos, which tasted more like a taco shell filled with sweet (not good-sweet, bad-sweet) corn salsa. -Service - not too bad, but management response was a turn off. We went in with Enamor coupons that clearly stated there were no limits, and they would only let us use one even though we were 2 parties with 2 checks. Owner was called on the phone and didn't provide a great response. -Atmosphere - would be awesome, but not for this place. More of a trendy could-be club guised as a fancy taco place. Please, check out the reviews for Fuego Bistro and go there. It quite possibly offers the best food, service, and patio dining in Phoenix. Fuego Tacos needs an overhaul, and I can for sure say I won't be back.

Answer: Service was overall lacking. Staff was generally rude/unhelpful/incompetent. The suite rooms were nice looking but kind of cheesy and the couch in the sunken living room was kind of gross (like it seemed impossible to clean). The casino was not as nice as other hotels but not as cheesy as others. Kind of middle of the road hotel (which for the price seems like it should be better) with bad service. Pool was okay--crowded not refreshing and slow pool service. Writing this review has been sad.

Answer: | Teller Isaac was outstanding, polite, always inform me what he is going to do before he left the counter to get me things, always have a natural caring smile and warm voice, and did extra effort to help me in multiple ways. However, someone he called to help me, a woman name Jessenia, was awful: it took her forever to come out talk to me, while there was no client with her; then she speaks very fast and in in-complete sentences, her attitude was very impatient and irritable (while she obviously doesn't know too much beside what she was told to say about online/ app banking). She was so rude, I had to just choose to leave there because she was unpleasant and unhelpful. I will be happy just call the number teller Issac wrote down for me before she came! I really think she shouldn't be in the customer service position. Worst BoA experience. But the teller was good, like other helpful tellers in other branches. This is the First time and Last visit of this branch for sure. There are another BoA just 5 min away on Sahara and they are always great! | Flan2021 | yelp_polarity_reviews:0.2.0 | fs_noopt |

Summarize this article:
In addition to pruning your spirea shrub, you might also consider dividing it. After a few years, shrubs like spirea can become a little lackluster. Dividing them at the root is one way to revive them and remove old growth. You’ll also get more plants by doing this. A cloudy overcast day is a good time for dividing plants as the roots dry out too much in sunny hot weather once they are exposed above ground. Give your plant a good watering the day before you plan to divide it. The day after watering, dig out the plant and remove as much soil as possible from the roots without damaging them. A hosepipe works well for this. To divide your plant: Using something like a spade or saw, cut the root crown into quarters. Each piece should have a healthy bit of root and above-ground growth. Remove any old root sections at the narrow tip and get rid of any damaged roots or any parts of the plant that seem rotten. Give the parts of the plant above ground a prune when you do this, removing any damaged or dead growth and some of the thicker oldest wood stems. Replant the root sections and you’ll have new, vigorous growth when the plant re-emerges in the spring. | Consider dividing your spirea. Divide your spirea in the late fall when the plant is dormant.

The 20th Republican debate! I have now spent more time watching the Republican presidential candidates on television than two seasons of “Downton Abbey.” Perhaps it would be easier if Newt Gingrich wore a tuxedo.
Also, I am pretty sure the folks at Downton Abbey never spent an episode arguing about earmarks. Republicans, why are we still discussing earmarks? If the American people cared passionately about earmarks, wouldn’t they have elected John McCain?
My personal favorite debate moment on Wednesday night was when the candidates were asked to describe themselves in one word and Newt Gingrich said “cheerful.” Not an adjective you frequently hear when Newt is the topic, but you do appreciate the aspiration, particularly when Mitt Romney went for “resolute.”
Remember Newt Gingrich? Won the South Carolina primary? Now he’s an also-ran, and his latest solution to his dwindling poll numbers has been to buy time for an infomercial in which he sits behind a desk and talks about energy for 30 minutes. Newt has always had a touching faith in the attention span of the average voter.
Over on the other end of the table — exciting breakthrough, that table — was Ron Paul. He, too, has a new TV ad, directed at the youth of America, which begins with a picture of Rick Santorum. “Is this dude serious?” the announcer demands. “Fiscal conservative? Really?”
The ad then goes on to say that Santorum’s votes to raise the debt ceiling were “not groovy.” I am not an absolute expert on the speech patterns of young people, but I am feeling pretty confident that they do not use the word “groovy.”
Still, welcome back, Ron Paul! Good luck with that recount of the Maine caucus vote!
The prime seats at the center of the table went to Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum, one of whom is going to be the nominee for president of the United States.
Take your pick, Republicans. On one hand, the guy who once drove to Canada with the family dog strapped to the roof of the car. On the other, the guy who won his first Congressional race by criticizing his opponent for moving his family to Washington. And then later moved his own family to Washington, but said it didn’t count because the Senate was different from the House.
Much of the debate involved the two front-runners squabbling, and Santorum proved that even if the subject was rutabagas, he would still find a way to point out that Massachusetts passed its universal health care law when Mitt Romney was governor.
When the topic turned to a murky discussion of contraception, in which birth control pills seemed to get the blame for rising rates of unwed motherhood, Santorum suddenly said: “The whole reason this issue is alive is because of the bill that you drafted in Massachusetts, Romneycare.”
Romney then announced that everything — I think this included both unwed motherhood and the Obama health care reform — happened because Santorum had endorsed Arlen Specter for the U.S. Senate in 2004.
The Arizona crowd was totally on Romney’s side. This was no easy task, since it required a lot of booing and cheering at those obscure earmark arguments. But Mitt needed all the help he could get. He’s facing a must-win primary next week in Michigan, which is, of course, his home state. Along with Massachusetts and New Hampshire and California, where he has, um, homes. Michigan appears to be the only Romney home state where Romney does not have an actual residence.
In his attempts to make up for that oversight, Mitt has really been laying it on thick. “I love this state!” he told Michiganders at one campaign stop. “It seems right here! Trees are the right height!”
In another ploy to re-win the love of the state whose major industry he wanted to send into bankruptcy, Romney got Donald Trump to record robo-calls that will tell innocent Michigan phone answerers that Mitt Romney, is a “good man” while Rick Santorum, is a “career politician.”
Romney thinks Michigan voters will like him better because he has earned the respect of Donald Trump. A person who claimed he had to postpone plans to run for president himself and save the nation because of a conflict with the airing dates for “Celebrity Apprentice.”
Well, there’s always Santorum. The career politician! Actually, Trump was entirely unfair on this point — Santorum has been out of office since 2006, when he was defeated for re-election by one of the widest margins in American history.
Take your pick, Republican primary voters. If neither one works for you, there’s always Newt. Or Ron Paul. Some choice, dudes. Not groovy. ||||| The ad then goes on to say that Santorum’s votes to raise the debt ceiling were “not groovy.” I am not an absolute expert on the speech patterns of young people, but I am feeling pretty confident that they do not use the word “groovy.”

About 100,000 bats dead after heatwave in southern Queensland
Updated
About 100,000 bats may have died as a result of last weekend's heatwave in southern Queensland, the RSPCA says.
Mass deaths at about 25 separate colonies have been reported since the weekend, including at Mt Ommaney, Redbank, Boonah, Palmwoods, Laidley and Gatton.
RSPCA spokesman Michael Beatty says the heatwave was a significant hit to the population of bats across the state.
"The heatwave was basically a catastrophe for all the bat colonies in south-east Queensland," he said.
"That's obviously going to have a pretty disturbing impact on those colonies and those colonies are vital to our ecosystem."
The smell of bat carcasses has caused problems for locals.
The Scenic Rim Regional Council, west of Brisbane, has organised rubbish collectors to clear up the carcasses of about 2,000 bats.
Residents near Boonah's Athol Terrace lookout say they have been putting up with the stench of the dead animals for four days.
Hundreds of bats also lie dead in trees and nearby bushes, and are being eaten by maggots.
The council today advised local residents it will not send workers into nearby bushland to collect the remaining bat carcasses, as it could cause further disruption to the nearby colony.
One resident has told the ABC she is receiving anti-viral treatment after being scratched by a baby bat while clearing the dead animals out of her tree with a rake.
Further north, Lockyer Valley Regional Council says it also faces a massive task of cleaning up thousands of dead bats from around Laidley and Gatton.
Sunshine Coast Regional Council has sent workers out to collect thousands more dead bats near Palmwoods.
At least 16 people across south-east Queensland are receiving anti-viral treatment after coming into close contact with a bat.
Queensland Health is advising people not to touch the animals and to call authorities for help in clearing them away.
Sammy Ringer from Bat Rescue echoed those concerns, saying it was best to call a wildlife volunteer or a vet.
"Don't touch them, they're stressed," she said.
"If they do bite or scratch you and break the skin you can get a vaccination, you can get a shot for the lyssavirus."

First posted ||||| Queensland heatwave: Brisbane set to roast as weekend temperatures soar
Updated
The scorching heatwave gripping much of Queensland is being felt in Brisbane today, with residents set to roast in temperatures of up to 41 degrees Celsius.
At 9:25am, the mercury had already hit 35.1C, with the apparent temperature hovering at 37.4C, according to the Bureau of Meteorology website.
By 1:00pm, the temperature had risen to 38C, although the apparent temperature was 41C.
Queensland's interior has been sweltering through record-breaking heat in recent days, along with parts of Central Australia and north-western New South Wales.
The heatwave continued as a Bureau of Meteorology report revealed 2013 was the hottest year on record in Australia.
The mass of hot air causing the extreme weather again led to searing temperatures in central and western Queensland on Friday.
St George topped the temperature list with 47.2C, while Winton and Longreach also had scorchers at 46.4C and 46.3C respectively.
Charleville followed on 46.1C, while Blackall, Roma and Thargomindah all recorded temperatures just above 45C.
Brisbane's top for Friday was 34.3C, but the mercury is predicted to reach 41C today as northerly winds push the heatwave south.
Further evacuations not expected
Firefighters are confident no further evacuations will be needed as they battle a large bushfire on Stradbroke Island.
Firefighters are confident no further evacuations will be needed as they battle a large bushfire on Stradbroke Island.
The Gold Coast's beaches have been packed with people keen to beat the heat, and that is sure to be the case over the weekend.
Queenslanders have also been urged to put their health first during the current heatwave.
Last summer, paramedics responded to more than 350 cases of heat-related illness across the state.
Steven Clarke from Queensland Ambulance says drinking plenty of water is the key.
Mr Clarke says families should ensure loved ones are coping with the heat, with the elderly particularly vulnerable.
"For the elderly and people with chronic illnesses, especially with kidney problems, diabetic problems, obese people, they need to take extra care," he said.
"Probably a critical point to make is family need to check their loved ones - grandad and grandma living on their own - they need to ring them up, they need to go around and visit them and make sure they are doing the right thing.

"Especially with the elderly. They'll lock their windows to make themselves feel safe; they live on their own. Family need to spend the time and go visit them."
Meanwhile, cooler weather has arrived in South Australia's outback, after two days of scorching heat and a catastrophic fire danger rating.
It reached 49.3C at Moomba in the state's far-north-east on Thursday, but conditions are set to ease to 32C today.
The state's fire danger rating has been reduced by two levels to severe.
In New South Wales, Walgett recorded 49.1C on Friday, which is the highest temperature recorded in NSW since 1939, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
Former tropical cyclone Christine has further weakened as it passes into northern New South Wales, and the system can now barely be seen on satellite images.
2013 was hottest year on record
The weather bureau's Annual Climate Statement shows that in 2013, average temperatures were 1.20C above the long-term average of 21.8C, breaking the previous record set in 2005 by 0.17C,
All states and territories recorded above average temperatures in 2013, with Western Australia, Northern Territory and South Australia all breaking annual average temperature records.
Every month of 2013 had national average temperatures at least 0.5C above normal, according to the statement.
The country recorded its hottest day on January 7 - a month which also saw the hottest week and hottest month since records began in 1910.
A new record was set for the number of consecutive days the national average temperature exceeded 39C – seven days between January 2 and 8, 2013, almost doubling the previous record of four consecutive days in 1973.
The highest temperature recorded during 2013 was 49.6C at Moomba in South Australia on January 12, which was the highest temperature in Australia since 1998.
Australia has experienced just one cooler-than-average year in the last decade - 2011.
Australian temperatures have warmed approximately 1C since 1950, consistent with global climate trends

First posted ||||| About 100,000 bats have fallen from the sky and died during a heatwave in Australia that has left the trees and earth littered with dead creatures.
In scenes likened to "an Alfred Hitchock thought bubble", a heatwave across the north-east state of Queensland in recent days caused mass deaths of flying foxes from an estimated 25 colonies.
"It's a horrible, cruel way to die," a conservation worker, Louise Saunders, told The Courier Mail .
"Anything over 43 degrees [Celsius, 109F] and they just fall. We're just picking up those that are just not coping and are humanely euthanising what we can."
Health experts have warned residents not to touch the dead creatures amid concerns about the spread of virus or bites and scratches from bats that may still be alive. At least 16 people have been are receiving antiviral treatment after coming into close contact with a bat.
"If you find a bat it is very important not to touch it because of the risk of infection with Australian bat lyssavirus," the state's chief health officer, Dr Jeannette Young, told APN.
"Some bats may appear dead but they are not and when people have attempted to remove them they have been bitten or scratched. Bats also have a claw on their wings which is a frequent cause of injury."
The stench from the rotting carcasses has begun to disturb residents of Brisbane and large towns. Authorities have dispatched rubbish collectors to pick up thousands of carcasses from populated areas.
The RSPCA said the heatwave could have a devastating effect on the state's wildlife.
"The heatwave was basically a catastrophe for all the bat colonies in south-east Queensland," a spokesman, Michael Beatty, told ABC News.
"That's obviously going to have a pretty disturbing impact on those colonies and those colonies are vital to our ecosystem." ||||| | – As the US emerged from that whole "polar vortex," Australia saw an intense heatwave last weekend—leading to the deaths of 100,000 bats, many of which reportedly dropped from the sky. In one video that went viral, a man filmed what he estimated to be more than 1,000 bat carcasses in his backyard, the Guardian reports. "The heatwave was basically a catastrophe for all the bat colonies in southeast Queensland," a rep for the RSPCA tells Australia's ABC News, noting that mass deaths were reported at 25 colonies. Bats are fragile and can't withstand temperatures above 109 degrees, a conservation worker explains. (Queensland's Brisbane got as hot as 106 on Saturday, notes ABC News.) "They just fall," she says. "It's a horrible, cruel way to die." Another problem: The stench from the bodies is bothering locals. In one area, residents say they've had to live with the smell for days; in others, teams of trash collectors have been put together by regional councils to clean up the carcasses. In addition to those that fell to the ground, hundreds of bodies are still in trees and bushes, and maggots have already set in. As if all that isn't enough, at least 16 people have had to undergo anti-viral treatment after getting scratched or otherwise coming into close contact with a bat. | Flan2021 | multi_news:1.0.0 | zs_noopt |

Yunnan is a province of the People's Republic of China, located in the far southwest of the country. It spans approximately and has a population of 45.7 million (as of 2009). The capital of the province is Kunming, formerly also known as Yunnan. The province borders the Chinese provinces Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan, and the Tibet Autonomous Region, and the countries Vietnam, Laos, and Burma.
Yunnan is situated in a mountainous area, with high elevations in the northwest and low elevations in the southeast. Most of the population lives in the eastern part of the province. In the west, the altitude can vary from the mountain peaks to river valleys as much as . Yunnan is rich in natural resources and has the largest diversity of plant life in China. Of the approximately 30,000 species of higher plants in China, Yunnan has perhaps 17,000 or more. Yunnan's reserves of aluminium, lead, zinc and tin are the largest in China, and there are also major reserves of copper and nickel.
The Han Empire first recorded diplomatic relations with the province at the end of the 2nd century BC. It became the seat of a Sino-Tibetan-speaking kingdom of Nanzhao in the 8th century AD. Nanzhao was multi-ethnic, but the elite most-likely spoke a northern dialect of Yi. The Mongols conquered the region in the 13th century, with local control exercised by warlords until the 1930s. From the Yuan dynasty onward, the area was part of a central-government sponsored population movement towards the Southwestern frontier, with 2 major waves of migrants arriving from Han-majority areas in northern and southeast China. As with other parts of China's southwest, Japanese occupation in the north during World War II forced another migration of majority Han people into the region. These two waves of migration contributed to Yunnan being one of the most ethnically diverse provinces of China, with ethnic minorities accounting for about 34 percent of its total population. Major ethnic groups include Yi, Bai, Hani, Zhuang, Dai and Miao.

Rani Mukerji (born 21 March 1978) is an Indian actress. She has won several awards, including seven Filmfare Awards. Her film roles have been cited as a significant departure from the traditional portrayal of women in Hindi cinema. Although Mukerji was born into the Mukherjee-Samarth family, in which her parents and relatives were members of the Indian film industry, she did not aspire to pursue a career in film.
Rani Mukerji was born in Mumbai on 21 March 1978. Her father, Ram Mukherjee (born to the Mukherjee-Samarth family), is a former film director and one of the founders of Filmalaya Studios. Her mother, Krishna Mukherjee, is a former playback singer. Her elder brother, Raja Mukherjee, is a film producer and director. Her maternal aunt, Debashree Roy, is a Bengali film actress and her paternal cousin, Kajol, is a Hindi film actress and her contemporary. Another paternal cousin, Ayan Mukerji, is a scriptwriter and film director. Despite her parents and most of her relatives being members of the Indian film industry, Mukerji was uninterested in pursuing a career in film. She said, "There were already too many actresses at home and I wanted to be someone different". Mukerji received her education at Maneckji Cooper High School in Juhu and graduated with a degree in Home Science from SNDT Women's University. She is a trained Odissi dancer and began learning the dance form while in the tenth grade. As part of an annual tradition, the Mukherjee family celebrates the festival of Durga Puja in the suburban neighbourhood of Santacruz every year. Mukerji, a practising Hindu, takes part in the festivities with her entire family. In 1994, director Salim Khan approached her to play the lead female role in his directorial, Aa Gale Lag Jaa. Her father disapproved of a full-time career in film at such a young age, so she rejected the offer. At the age of eighteen, Mukerji experimented with acting by portraying a supporting role in her father's Bengali language film Biyer Phool (1996). The film starred Prosenjit and Indrani Haldar in lead roles and narrates the story of two sisters; Mukerji played the younger sibling of Haldar's character. Soon after, Khan approached her with another film offer to play the protagonist of the social drama Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat, Mukerji accepted the role due to her mother's insistence that she continue to pursue acting on an experimental basis. Before she began work on the film, Mukerji trained at Roshan Taneja's acting institute.

FIBA Americas: Canada's Olympic hopes take hit with heartbreaking loss
Canada suffered a heartbreaking 79-78 loss to Venezuela at the FIBA Americas on Friday night, putting on hold their hopes of qualifying for the 2016 Olympic Games.
The Canadians will now play for bronze against Mexico on Saturday.
Canada needed to advance to the championship match to qualify for Rio through the FIBA Americas. The men's team will, however, have one more opportunity to earn a spot in Rio next summer at the world qualifying tournament.
"It's very disappointing, obviously. Our dreams have been put on hold," said Head Coach Jay Triano.
Kelly Olynyk score 34 points and added 13 rebounds for Canada while Brady Heslip chipped in with 10 off the bench.
"They out-hustled us, they out-worked us. I didn't lead my team today. I'm disappointed. It happens," said Cory Joseph, Canada's team captain.
Canada's men's squad hasn't participated in the Olympics since Sydney 2000.
Gregory Vargas made a free throw with 0.3 seconds left after being fouled on an offensive rebound as Venezuela stunned Canada.
Windi Graterol scored 20 points, and Heissler Guillent added 19 — eight in the final 4 minutes — to help Venezuela qualify for the Olympics for the first time since Barcelona in 1992.
With the score tied at 78, Vargas pulled down the offensive rebound and was fouled by Aaron Doornekamp. The officials reviewed the play and determined the foul came before the buzzer. Vargas made his first attempt and missed the second on purpose to end the game.
"Canada is a great team, but we thought that a big one can fall. It was David versus Goliath and we came on top, we leave everything out there," Venezuela coach Nestor Garcia said.
"This is an historic day for Venezuela. Many people doubted that we were capable of this. I'm proud of this team."
Andrew Wiggins added nine points for Canada.
Venezuela was an after-thought to qualify because of the absence of three starters, among them point guard Greivis Vazquez of the Milwaukee Bucks.
In the second semifinal, Argentina earned a spot in the Olympics, overcoming an 11-point deficit to beat Mexico 78-70.
Luis Scola had 18 points and 10 rebounds for Argentina, and Facundo Campazzo added 15 points.
Argentina reached the Olympics for the fourth straight time, advancing with a team featuring only two members of the teams that won the gold medal in 2004 and a bronze in 2008.
Jorge Gutierrez scored 17 points for Mexico.

Leeds climbed to fourth above Reading, who lost 3-0 to Brighton.
Wood, given lots of space as Wednesday appealed unsuccessfully for offside, poked in from inside the penalty area.
Owls striker Jordan Rhodes had a chance to equalise after Souleymane Doukara fouled Sam Hutchinson, but Green pushed his spot-kick onto the post.
Wednesday remain sixth, five points above seventh-placed Fulham, who drew 2-2 at Cardiff City on Saturday.
A game of few chances was settled by a simple finish by Wood, who has found the net in 21 separate competitive games for Leeds this season.
And it is still possible that the New Zealand striker could score league goals against all 23 Championship clubs during 2016-17, having already netted against 16 different opponents so far this term.
Meanwhile, visiting forward Rhodes has scored only once in six appearances since his loan move from Middlesbrough in January.
Leeds head coach Garry Monk:
"We were playing a very good side in Sheffield Wednesday. I thought they put some pressure on but we dealt with it extremely well.
"I can't remember them having any shots on goal apart from the penalty so that was very pleasing.
"The pressure that's there to win these types of games, both teams on the same points, a derby game. I thought we handled the pressure really well today and I'm very pleased with the players."
Sheffield Wednesday boss Carlos Carvalhal:
"We didn't lose today because we didn't try. We fought a lot and created a big chance with the penalty.
"We win together and we lose together. The responsibility is not too any one player. Individual mistakes are part of the game and we must understand them. It is normal in football."

Text: Determining the amount of troops necessary to win a war is never an easy decision for a commander in chief and his military commanders if history is any guide. The Obama administration is working on a strategic review of improving conditions in Afghanistan. And it's a dilemma President Obama faces as pressure mounts on him to decide what strategy will improve conditions in Afghanistan. The president and his top military, national security and foreign policy advisers are conducting an intensive strategic review of the U.S. military presence in the war-torn nation. Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, is calling for a counterinsurgency strategy that would add as many as 40,000 troops. But others in the administration want a different approach. Vice President Joe Biden has called for a counterterrorism strategy, which would focus on using special forces and technology to reduce the number of al Qaeda insurgents on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. If the president should listen to McChrystal and adopt a troop "surge," the question remains: How many is enough? One expert said such a large number is needed to reduce violence throughout the country -- the 40,000 troops would allow the U.S. military to "reverse the momentum of the insurgency, which has been on the rise," said Kimberly Kagan of the Institute for the Study of War, who has advised McChrystal on Afghanistan. That number, Kagan said, would help fill in gaps around Kandahar in the southern part of the country where Taliban forces have amassed. But she warned that eventually, troops would also be needed to tamp down the insurgency in other parts of the country. "If we had 40,000 more troops, it is likely that the initiative would be wrested from the enemy, and the U.S. and coalition forces would be able to mount a counteroffensive that would proceed in stages over time," she said. Even with more troops, the fight will be a tough one if the last few weeks are any indication. Just last week, eight U.S. soldiers were killed in an intense firefight with hundreds of insurgents in Nuristan province, a remote area in northern Afghanistan. It was the second deadliest attack in a single day so far in the war, which recently entered its ninth year. Read soldiers' accounts from the battle. The White House is getting pressure from all sides of this issue. Many on the right have said the president should take the advice of the commanders on the ground. Sen. John McCain, a staunch supporter of the 2007 troop surge in Iraq, said Sunday that any added military deployment in Afghanistan smaller than 40,000 troops "would be an error of historic proportions." Asked whether he thought the war in Afghanistan could be won with fewer troops, the Arizona Republican said, "I do not." "I think the great danger now is a half-measure, sort of a -- you know, try to please all ends of the political spectrum," McCain told John King on "CNN's State of the Union." "And, again, I have great sympathy for the president, making the toughest decisions that presidents have to make, but I think he needs to use deliberate speed." Democrats are split over increasing troops. Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said U.S. troops would be put in "jeopardy" if Obama does not listen to McChrystal. "I don't know how you put somebody in who's as crackerjack as Gen. McChrystal, who gives the president very solid recommendations, and not take those recommendations if you're not going to pull out," she said on ABC's "This Week." But Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Massachusetts, who also appeared on ABC, said that enlarging the U.S. footprint in Afghanistan would be a mistake. Watch more on the varying advice Obama is receiving from lawmakers ». "We need to come up with a strategy that includes an exit strategy, because it'll also put pressure on the government of Afghanistan to step up to the plate, which it has not done so far." McGovern said adding more troops and resources will make the country go "bankrupt." "We have wars in Iraq, in Afghanistan, hundreds of billions of dollars that are all going onto our credit card. Our kids and our grandkids are paying for this." But the troop number argument is nothing new for presidents and their defense secretaries. Criticism surrounded then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld as conditions in Iraq deteriorated and insurgents increased attacks on U.S. forces. He was largely criticized for not sending enough troops early in the Iraq war. Rumsfeld's plan, observers have said, was to win the war in Iraq with smaller troop numbers and a large emphasis on technology, which would in turn let democracy take root. At the beginning of the war in 2003, troops quickly filled the country, took out Saddam Hussein's government and gained control of Baghdad, the capital. The force was small, and success came quickly. But three years later, civil war broke out, and U.S. forces struggled to maintain control of cities they had once secured. Rumsfeld admitted in a 2006 CNN interview that no one was well-prepared for what would happen after major combat ended. "Well, I think that anyone who looks at it with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight has to say that there was not an anticipation that the level of insurgency would be anything approximating what it is," Rumsfeld told CNN for the 2006 documentary, "CNN Presents Rumsfeld -- Man of War." CNN's Tom Evans and Kate Bolduan contributed to this report.
Highlights: The war in Afghanistan passed the 8-year mark last week. Obama and his national security team are working on a new strategy. His top commander there has reportedly called for 40,000 more troops.
in: Chelsea's early season form may have led to comparisons with the Arsenal 'Invincibles' side, but Gary Neville believes they aren't even as good as the Chelsea side from 10 years ago. Jose Mourinho's side are currently four points clear at the top of the Premier League, but after letting leads slip against both Manchester City and United, their killer instinct has been called into question. 'If a team are going to be playing for a 1-0 then you better see it out,' Neville said on Monday Night Football. 'When I saw Jose Mourinho two weeks ago he talked about the 2005 (Chelsea) team and (compared) the team he had then to the team he has now and he said the killer instinct's missing. Chelsea have dropped more points from winning positions this season than they did in the whole of 2004/05. Chelsea took the lead against both Manchester United and Manchester City, but drew both matches. 'When I look at the statistics they are staggering - 28 times they (the 2004/05 team) scored first (in Premier League matches), 27 the season after and they only dropped two and four points (respectively). 'This team this season, even though they're at a really high level, have scored first seven times and already dropped four points. They've got to get to that next level.' 'When (Manchester) City went down to 10 men I thought Chelsea let them off the hook and yesterday at 1-0 up I think Chelsea let United off the hook. 'There's a mentality shift. Gary Neville was talking on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football show with Sportsmail's Jamie Carragher. Robin van Persie scores Manchester United's injury-time equaliser against Chelsea at Old Trafford. The away side had appeared to be in control of the game but were undone with just moments remaining. 'At Manchester City they went from 55 per cent possession for the 10 minutes before the goal, and the 10 minutes after they went to 26 per cent possession, and City had 10 men. That can't be an instruction from the manager. That's a shift in the players. 'Yesterday (against Manchester United) they went from 64 per cent (possession before scoring) to 45 per cent (after scoring). They switch off. 'This is not the manager changing it. The players who have worked themselves into a 1-0 lead have then sat deeper.'
out: | Chelsea are four points clear at the top of the Premier League. Jose Mourinho's side have proved themselves to be early title favourites. But Gary Neville believes there is still room for improvement. The former Manchester United defender criticised their lack of killer instinct. Chelsea dropped points against both Manchester clubs. | Flan2021 | cnn_dailymail:3.4.0 | fs_opt |
Problem: Reuters is an international news agency headquartered in London, England. It is a division of Thomson Reuters.
Until 2008, the Reuters news agency formed part of an independent company, Reuters Group plc, which was also a provider of financial market data. Since the acquisition of Reuters Group by the Thomson Corporation in 2008, the Reuters news agency has been a part of Thomson Reuters, making up the media division. Reuters transmits news in English, French, Arabic, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Urdu, and Chinese. It was established in 1851.
The Reuter agency was established in 1851 by Paul Julius Reuter in Britain at the London Royal Exchange. Paul Reuter worked at a book-publishing firm in Berlin and was involved in distributing radical pamphlets at the beginning of the Revolutions in 1848. These publications brought much attention to Reuter, who in 1850 developed a prototype news service in Aachen using homing pigeons and electric telegraphy from 1851 on in order to transmit messages between Brussels and Aachen.
Upon moving to England, he founded Reuter's Telegram Company in 1851. Headquartered in London, the company initially covered commercial news, serving banks, brokerage houses, and business firms. The first newspaper client to subscribe was the London "Morning Advertiser" in 1858. Afterwards more newspapers signed up, with "Britannica Encyclopedia" writing that "the value of Reuters to newspapers lay not only in the financial news it provided but in its ability to be the first to report on stories of international importance." Reuter's agency built a reputation in Europe and the rest of the world as the first to report news scoops from abroad. Reuters was the first to report Abraham Lincoln's assassination in Europe, for instance, in 1865. In 1872, Reuters expanded into the far east, followed by South America in 1874. Both expansions were made possible by advances in overland telegraphs and undersea cables. In 1883, Reuters began transmitting messages electrically to London newspapers.

Problem: (CNN) -- Rutgers quarterback Philip Nelson has been dismissed from the football team, the school's coach said Tuesday.
Nelson had been arrested Sunday and charged in connection with an assault that apparently left Isaac Kolstad -- a former linebacker for Minnesota State University, Mankato -- in critical condition.
"The Rutgers football family's thoughts and prayers are with Isaac Kolstad and his family," football coach Kyle Flood said, referring to the young man whom Nelson is accused of assaulting.
Nelson, 20, faces one count of first-degree assault and one count of third-degree assault.
Authorities in Minnesota also arrested a second person in connection with the assault, a Mankato, Minnesota, city spokeswoman said.
Trevor Stenner Shelley, 21, was arrested Monday afternoon. He is charged with first- and third-degree assault.
Officers found Kolstad, who graduated in December, near a downtown intersection. He was transported by ambulance to a local hospital.
Kolstad, 24, was in critical condition after suffering a severe head injury, his family said.
Nelson was a recent transfer to Rutgers. A native of Mankato, Minnesota, he played at the University of Minnesota, according to Rutgers' website. Nelson never played a down for Rutgers before his dismissal.

Problem: The Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) is a family of standards specified by the IEEE Computer Society for maintaining compatibility between operating systems. POSIX defines the application programming interface (API), along with command line shells and utility interfaces, for software compatibility with variants of Unix and other operating systems.
Originally, the name "POSIX" referred to IEEE Std 1003.1-1988, released in 1988. The family of POSIX standards is formally designated as IEEE 1003 and the international standard name is ISO/IEC 9945.
The standards emerged from a project that began circa 1985. Richard Stallman suggested the name "POSIX" to the IEEE instead of former "IEEE-IX". The committee found it more easily pronounceable and memorable, and thus adopted it.
Unix was selected as the basis for a standard system interface partly because it was "manufacturer-neutral." However, several major versions of Unix existed—so there was a need to develop a common denominator system. The POSIX specifications for Unix-like operating systems originally consisted of a single document for the core programming interface, but eventually grew to 19 separate documents (POSIX.1, POSIX.2, etc.). The standardized user command line and scripting interface were based on the UNIX System V shell. Many user-level programs, services, and utilities (including awk, echo, ed) were also standardized, along with required program-level services (including basic I/O: file, terminal, and network). POSIX also defines a standard threading library API which is supported by most modern operating systems. In 2008, most parts of POSIX were combined into a single standard "(IEEE Std 1003.1-2008", also known as "POSIX.1-2008)."

Article: Just because she flirts with your boyfriend does not mean she’s trying to steal him. She might flirt with him to build up her own self-esteem or because she wants to be friends with him. Does she flirt with everyone, or just with your boyfriend specifically? If she generally comes off as flirty, it’s doubtful that your boyfriend is a special case. If she makes special effort to flirt with your boyfriend, she might have a crush on him.Here are some flirty behaviors to watch for: She puts her hand on his arm or touches him frequently. She makes eye contact with him. She laughs at all of his jokes. She moves her body so that she faces him. She initiates conversation with him. If the girl wants to be alone with your boyfriend, it demonstrates that her flirting is not just for social power and self-esteem. Make note of when they spend time alone together. Look out for the following things: She invites him for outings where it will be just the two of them, such as the movies or lunch at a coffee shop. She asks him to do her favors (such as change a lightbulb) where he would go somewhere alone with her. She asks him to go on walks with her. When he says he’s going to do something, such as get a glass of water in the next room, she invites herself and goes with him. Is your boyfriend secretive about his texts with her? Does she call or text him more than you would with a platonic friend? Although this communication does not mean that she wants to be more than friends, it can be a red flag. If you see your boyfriend texting someone frequently, ask him who it is. If he is dodgy or defensive about it, it might be her. Going through your boyfriend’s texts might be an invasion of privacy. If he seems as though he is lying, have a conversation with him about trust.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Notice how she flirts. See if she wants to be alone with him. See if she texts or calls him frequently.
Problem: Article: Most pieces of furniture will have a cleaning code on the tags under or inside the article. Looking for this code can provide you the recommended and safest way to clean velvet furniture items. In general, velvet is coded as “S,” which means that it requires cleaning with solvents or dry cleaning and will not react well with water. Call the manufacturer if you cannot locate the cleaning code. Most companies will have a database of furniture items and can provide you important information about the cleaning code and caring for the piece. Ask any questions you may have in the course of your call. If you are unsure about your velvet furniture’s code or the piece is an heirloom or has special meaning to you, take the safest route and hire a professional cleaner. It may cost you a bit more, but a professional cleaner has the training and know-how to most effectively and safely clean velvet items. Consider using a commercial dry cleaning kit for smaller household items such as pillow covers or duvets. Make sure to read the cleaning code and the kit information before you start any cleaning efforts. If you decide to spot clean your household velvet item, you should always vacuum it before you begin any washing efforts. Use your vacuum’s brush attachment and run it along the nap, which is the raised and fuzzy surface of fabrics like velvet. This will puff up the fabric and prepare it for cleaning. One of the most effective ways to remove a stain from a velvet household item is gently applying a solution of lemon juice and baking soda. These two potent ingredients can lift and remove any stains from your item. Mix two tablespoons of baking soda in a bowl filled with lemon juice. Stir the mixture until it form a good amount of foam, which is what you will use to clean the item. If you are cleaning larger objects, use a larger bowl or tub. Before you begin cleaning any stains or spots, or wash the entire item, it’s important to do a spot test. This can let you know if the mixture is too potent for your item. In this case, you should allow a professional to clean the object. Apply a small amount of the mixture to a spot on your item that is not visible. The can be under the object or at an inconspicuous seam. Make sure to test the mixture using the same gentle dabbing method you would on other spots. Just as with velvet clothing, you need to be delicate when cleaning stains on your household items. Gently dabbing or wiping away stains can ensure that your item gets clean and remains lustrous and beautiful. Skim the foam from the top of your mixture with a soft, clean cloth. Using long, straight movements, gently wipe or dab at the stains along the nap of the velvet. Make sure to not rub the solution into the fabric, which may cause stains to go deeper into the velvet or damage the item. Check the spot in between wipes to see if the stain is gone. Continue to repeat the process until the item is clean. Remove excess solution or residue by rinsing out the cloth and dabbing the spots until you can’t detect anything on the velvet. Make sure to wring out the cloth before dabbing it on the velvet so that it doesn’t soak the item and ruin the nap or texture. In most cases, it won’t take a long time for a household item to dry from cleaning it. However, you may want to give it a few hours or full day to completely dry before letting others use it. This can ensure that the velvet stays lustrous and isn’t exposed to any other potential staining agents.
Summary: Check the cleaning code. Hire a professional. Vacuum the item. Make a lemon juice and baking soda solution. Test the mixture. Wipe away stains gently. Allow the item to dry thoroughly.
Weeds will compete for the soil’s nutrients and slow the development of young thyme plants. Control the weeds around seedlings either through weeding or mulching. Mulching with limestone gravel or builder’s sand can improve drainage around the plants and prevent root rot. You can try other mulches made of organic matter like leaf mold or straw, as well. Thyme is a hardy, drought-resistant herb. You need to water the plants on a regular schedule, but not often. Too much water will cause root rot. Give the plants a good watering when you see the soil around them has gone completely dry. Soak the ground thoroughly and wait until the soil dries completely before watering your plants again. Once your seedlings take off, the plants will need very little attention to thrive. Thyme doesn’t need a lot of nutrients to survive and too much fertilizer will cause it to lose its flavor and become gangly. Mulch your plants in autumn with organic matter like leaf mold, well-rotted animal manure or compost. This will deliver the minimal nutrients thyme requires all year long, as well as protect the plants from frost once winter arrives. If you want your plants to continue being bushy and producing tender stems, you will need to prune your thyme back to half its previous height every spring. Do this after the last frost. If you do this, the next spring it will flourish again. After three to four years of growth with the same plants, their stalks will become woody and the plant will produce fewer leaves. At this point you may want to start a new batch of seedlings, especially if you cultivate thyme for culinary purposes. Use an almanac to check when the last frost usually occurs. After this date, it may be safe to cut back the thyme.

Article:The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) has issued a warning after the spike, which coincided with a spell of dry, sunny weather.
Area Commander Maurice Rafferty said the conditions had "provided a tinderbox landscape" for gorse fires.
He added the arson attacks put lives and risk and put pressure on resources.
The fire stations which dealt with the most gorse fires over the past week were Downpatrick, County Down, which had 26 call-outs and Lurgan, County Armagh, which tackled 22 gorse fires.
During the same period last year, 1-5 May, NIFRS attended 19 gorse fires in total across Northern Ireland.
Mr Rafferty appealed to the public, and young people in particular, to "support their fire and rescue service by acting responsibly".
"Tackling gorse and wild land fires is extremely challenging for us. It means deploying firefighters and equipment to remote locations.
"This can be for prolonged periods of time with our crews working under hazardous and intense heat to bring the fires under control.
"These fires can easily spread and even a slight change in wind direction can pose a serious risk to life, property and the environment."
Summarize the main points of that article. | Firefighters have tackled 221 gorse fires across Northern Ireland over the last five days and said 92% of them (204 fires) were started deliberately. | Flan2021 | huggingface:xsum | zs_noopt |

Question: A comic-book character popular in Mexico for generations has run into a cultural barrier at the border, where Americans see him as a racist caricature. Comic book character Memin Pinguin is "a disgrace," an African-American activist says. For more than 60 years Mexicans have followed the adventures of "Memin Pinguin." But the dark-skinned Memin's exaggerated features in "Memin for President" came as a shock to Houston, Texas, Wal-Mart shopper Shawnedria McGinty. "I was like, OK, is that a monkey or a boy?" McGinty said. "To me it was an insult." She'd never heard of "Memin Pinguin." She bought a Spanish-English dictionary and tried translating but still didn't like what she saw. Watch what upset McGinty ». "So I asked my boyfriend, does that look like a monkey to you?" she said. "And we went back and forth and he was like, no, that's a black woman," referring to the character's Aunt Jemima-like mother. McGinty and Houston community activist Quannel X want the comic books removed from the stores. "This is absolutely insensitive toward race, in particular the African-American culture, and also people of color," Quannel X said. "This is poking fun at the physical features of an entire people." But Mexican readers who grew up following the shenanigans of Memin say critics need to look beyond the cover and understand the stories. "They will bring a smile to their face because we're so fond of that character," said Javier Salas, a Spanish-language talk show host on Chicago radio station WRTO. "We respect him, we love him. And that's why it's so absurd for us to hear complaints from people who don't know, don't understand Memin." Memin is a poor Cuban-Mexican kid with bug eyes, thick lips and protruding ears. The mischievous and caring boy helps his mother by selling newspapers and shining shoes. "We grew up reading, learning and educating ourselves with a lot of the topics they always touched on, which was honesty, justice, tolerance. He was a very unique character," Salas said. Wal-Mart spokesman Lorenzo Lopez said the retailer has instructed stores to remove the books from shelves and discontinue sales. "We received the customer complaint regarding the book, which we knew was based on a popular cartoon character in Mexico. We looked into it further, and we decided to no longer distribute the book and are in the process of removing the books from the stores." The store has received no other complaints about Memin, Lopez said. "We have a wide array of products that we provide to Hispanic customers, but when we looked at this more carefully and given the sensitivity of the topic, we thought it was best to no longer carry the book in our stores," he said. He did not know how many copies of Memin books the chain had or how long it would take to remove them from displays. Memin is no stranger to controversy. Three years ago, a series of Mexican stamps honoring Memin ignited an international uproar. The stamps were discontinued because of protests from African-American leaders. "This is saying we respect and regard the African-American community by making them look like Sambos on a stamp?" the Rev. Al Sharpton said at the time. "This goes over the line." Quannel X called the comic book "a disgrace." "Look how they portray his mother, with huge ethnic lips, dark skin, making her look like the big gorilla and him like the little monkey." But fans of Memin say the valuable lessons of a beloved comic book character tackling real-life problems have been lost in translation.

Question: A former America's Next Top Model (ANTM) finalist was sentenced to 12 years in prison on Wednesday after pleading guilty to various criminal charges. She was also ordered to pay $58,679.58 in damages to her victims. Renee Diane Alway, 28, pleaded guilty to to four felony burglary counts and one count each of vehicle theft and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Alway also pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of identity theft for various crimes in Palm Springs in June 2013, reports News Channel 3. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO. In court today: Renee Diane Alway, 28, was sentenced to 12 years in prison on Wednesday after pleading guilty to various criminal charges and sported more hair than she did during her court appearance last year. Downward spiral: Renee Diane Alway pictured in 2007 (left) and in her mug shot last year (right) turned to a life of crime after the show aired and she did not win the title. Last year: Troubled America's Next Top Model finalist Renee Alway shaved her head for her 2013 court appearance after her burglary arrest. Alway was dismissed of more than a dozen other counts under a plea agreement. Some of those counts were resisting an officer, possession of a controlled substance, and receiving stolen property. The Desert Sun reports that Alway has been in custody since last year at the Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility on $150,000 bail. The ANTM finalist was arrested on June 28 in 2013 for investigation of burglary, fraud, narcotics possession, committing a felony while on bail and other charges, the Palm Springs Police Department said in a statement at the time of the arrest. Officers responding to a report of a suspicious woman walking around a neighborhood spotted a condominium with an open back door, police said. Neighbors told officers the residents were out of the country and Alway was found hiding in the garage allegedly armed with a gun, police said. Authorities believed an armed man also was in the condo and the SWAT team was called in for the ensuing six-hour standoff. When Alway appeared before a judge last year she shaved her head for her court appearance in Palm Springs where she was given a drug evaluation. Her sister told TMZ after the 2013 court appearance that her sister wanted to 'start over' and that's why she chose to shave her head. Alway finished in the top three of Cycle 8 of 'Top Model,' which aired in 2007. Guilty: Alway (pictured last year) will serve 12 years in prison for various burglaries and thefts in Florida.

Ashanti Shequoiya Douglas was born on October 13, 1980, in Glen Cove, New York. Her mother, Tina Douglas, is a former dance teacher, and her father, Ken-Kaide Thomas Douglas, is a former singer. Her mother named her after the Ashanti Empire in Ghana; in this nation, women had power and influence, and Tina wanted Ashanti to follow that model. Her grandfather, James, was a civil rights activist who associated with Martin Luther King, Jr. in the 1960s.
After a four-year hiatus, Ashanti released the song "Never Too Far Away", which was featured in Morgan Creek's film Dream House starring Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz with Naomi Watts.

input: Thompson has heavily criticized a number of video games and campaigned against their producers and distributors. His basic argument is that violent video games have repeatedly been used by teenagers as "murder simulators" to rehearse violent plans. He has pointed to alleged connections between such games and a number of school massacres. According to Thompson, "In every school shooting, we find that kids who pull the trigger are video gamers." Also, he claims that scientific studies show teenagers process the game environment differently from adults, leading to increased violence and copycat behavior. According to Thompson, "If some wacked-out adult wants to spend his time playing Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, one has to wonder why he doesn't get a life, but when it comes to kids, it has a demonstrable impact on their behavior and the development of the frontal lobes of their brain." Thompson has described the proliferation of games by Sony, a Japanese company, as "Pearl Harbor 2". According to Thompson, "Many parents think that stores won't sell an M-rated game to someone under 17. We know that's not true, and, in fact, kids roughly 50 percent of that time, all the studies show, are able to walk into any store and get any game regardless of the rating, no questions asked." Thompson has rejected arguments that such video games are protected by freedom of expression, saying, "Murder simulators are not constitutionally protected speech. They're not even speech. They're dangerous physical appliances that teach a kid how to kill efficiently and to love it," as well as simply calling video games "mental masturbation". In addition, he has attributed part of the impetus for violent games to the military, saying that it was looking "for a way to disconnect in the soldier's mind the physical act of pulling the trigger from the awful reality that a life may end". Thompson further claims that some of these games are based on military training and simulation technologies, such as those being developed at the Institute for Creative Technologies, which, he suggests, were created by the Department of Defense to help overcome soldiers' inhibition to kill. He also claims that the PlayStation 2's DualShock controller "gives you a pleasurable buzz back into your hands with each kill. This is operant conditioning, behavior modification right out of B. F. Skinner's laboratory." Although his efforts dealing with video games have generally focused on juveniles, Thompson got involved in a case involving an adult on one occasion in 2004. This was an aggravated murder case against 29-year-old Charles McCoy, Jr., the defendant in a series of highway shootings the previous year around Columbus, Ohio. When McCoy was captured, a game console and a copy of The Getaway were in his motel room. Although not representing McCoy and over the objections of McCoy's lawyers, Thompson succeeded in getting the court to unseal a search warrant for McCoy's residence. This showed, among other things, the discovery of additional games State of Emergency, Max Payne, and Dead to Rights. However, he was not allowed to present the evidence to McCoy, whose defense team was relying on an insanity defense based on paranoid schizophrenia. In Thompson's estimation, McCoy was the "functional equivalent of a 15-year-old," and "the only thing insane about this case is the (insanity) defense".
Answer this question "What was the claim in that case?"
output: This was an aggravated murder case against 29-year-old Charles McCoy, Jr., the defendant in a series of highway shootings the previous year around Columbus, Ohio.
input: Burton was the host and executive producer of Reading Rainbow starting in 1983 for PBS. The series ran for 23 seasons, making it one of the longest-running children's programs on the network. The series garnered over 200 broadcast awards over its run, including a Peabody Award and 26 Emmy Awards, 11 of which were in the Outstanding Children's Series category. Burton himself won 12 Emmy awards as host and producer of the show. After Reading Rainbow went off the air in 2006, Burton and his business partner, Mark Wolfe, acquired the global rights to the brand and formed RRKIDZ, a new media company for children. Reading Rainbow was reimagined as an all new application for the iPad in 2012, and was an immediate success, becoming the number-one educational application within 36 hours. At RRKIDZ, Burton serves as co-founder and curator-in-chief, ensuring that the projects produced under the banner meet the high expectations and trust of the Reading Rainbow brand. On May 28, 2014, Burton and numerous coworkers from other past works started a Kickstarter campaign project to bring back Reading Rainbow. To keep with the changing formats to which young children are exposed, his efforts are being directed at making this new program web-based, following the success of the tablet application he helped create in recent years. His desire is to have the new Reading Rainbow be integrated into the classrooms of elementary schools across the country, and for schools in need to have free access. The Kickstarter campaign has since raised over $5 million, reaching triple its goal in only three days.
Answer this question "What is the goal of the campaign?"
output: His desire is to have the new Reading Rainbow be integrated into the classrooms of elementary schools
input: See also (Economy of Hong Kong) and (Education in Hong Kong) The implementation of compulsory universal education in 1971, following with an extension to nine years in 1978, give rises to an increased number of women elites. Besides, the transform of social environment in Hong Kong also contribute to the rise of women education. In the past, if a family does not have enough money to send both their son and daughter to school, they will choose to educate the son over the daughter. Nonetheless, owing to the economic growth since 1960s, Hong Kong has become a wealthy society with a significant change in population at the same time. The birth rate in Hong Kong steadily decreased from 16.8% in 1981 to 8.6% in 2014. It reveals that the nuclear family structure nurturing only one to two children in a family is common, in which girls could receive better education due to the more concentrated resources within the family. According to the report of Hong Kong Annual Digest of Statistics by Census and Statistics Department of Hong Kong, a trend of universalism for boys and girls could be observed since the 1970s; and girls' enrolment rate in general was higher than the boys' since the 1980s. The gap between male and female enrollment in post-secondary education has narrowed down and female students even outnumber male students in entering University Grants Committee (UGC) funded programmes in recent decades. The percentage of females and male students enrolled in UGC-funded programmes was 53.7% and 46.3% in 2014, which is quite different from 32.9% and 67.1% respectively in 1987. However, when specifically comes to research postgraduate programmes, more male students were recorded since the programmes are largely related to sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). People in Hong Kong have gender bias in STEM fields, perceiving women as less capable of mastering the STEM knowledge and pursuing related careers. Half of the teenage girls in Hong Kong were discouraged to focus on mathematics and sciences during secondary school, which lead to their lessened self-concept in STEM. Thus, the sex ratio of students enrolled in UGC-funded engineering and technology programmes is imbalance, which is 29.5% for female and 70.5% for male in 2016. The situation is not much improved as compared with 14.1% for female and 85.9% for male in 1996.
