Tragic: Little Isabella Mia Tolentino, died of complications from appendicitis in July 2012. A grief-stricken Texan mother is to sue her health insurance provider because she claims they were negligent and too cheap to fly her little girl back home for treatment after she fell ill with appendicitis. University of Texas Medical nurse Marissett Tolentino is seeking unspecified damages from Blue Cross Blue Shield - blaming them for the tragic death of her six-year-old child Isabella last year while on vacation in the Dominican Republic. Needing immediate surgery, Tolentino says that the insurance company told her that Isabella's condition was not an emergency and she was forced to undergo an operation on the Caribbean island during which her child fell into a coma from which she never woke up. The lawsuit was filed last week in a Galveston court last week and alleges that the insurance firm actively worked with the Dominican Republic hospital to keep Marissett Tolentino and her husband in the dark about their daughters condition and hiding paperwork before getting her home. The Tolentino's allege that the decisions made by Blue Cross Blue Shield cost their daughter her life and that they were kept in the dark about any potential complications. 'Blue Cross Blue Shield was aware of the severity of Isabella's condition, yet they knowingly delayed the process and placed administrative prerequisites above the urgency required to save Isabella's life,' says the lawsuit according to the Houston Chronicle. Complications: Isabella's parents tried to ensure that they had full and total health insurance for their trip to the Caribbean. A spokesman for the provider said that they would not comment on the pending litigation. According to the lawsuit, the Tolentino's were wary of traveling to the Caribbean for their vacation but did so knowing the health facilities provided at their resort as well as the nearby hospital were part of their insurance. 'I did my homework," Marissett Tolentino said. 'I was scared to travel out of the country.' At their resort Isabella began to experience serious abdominal pains on Jul5th and was diagnosed with appendicitis by doctors at Hospiten Bavaro. 'We strongly urged them that we didn't want her to have her surgery in the Dominican Republic,' Tolentino said. 'I was willing to put her on a commercial airplane - that was how scared I was of putting her in surgery over there.' However, upon consultation with their pediatrician in the United States, Tolentino decided her best mode of action was to ask for a private medical jet - costing $18,000. Sister: Isabella was advised to return to the US for treatment but her parent's provider would not pay for the jet she needed. According to the lawsuit, the Tolentino's were wary of traveling to the Caribbean for their vacation but did so knowing the health facilities provided at their resort. This was denied by the insurance company and the Tolentino's were told that appendicitis was not an emergency. 'I just thought, I've been paying all these premiums all these years and then when I really needed them, they wouldn't pay for an $18,000 flight,' Tolentino said. I have to deal with the daily struggles of losing my child over something so stupid - them flying her home.' Having allowed against their wishes to have their daughter operated on in the Dominican Republic, under anesthesia, Isabella's breathing tube became clogged with vomit and blood and she fell into a coma. There were alleged complications with the surgery according to the lawsuit including an intubation tube that was too small for the girl. Eventually Isabella was transported from the Dominincan Republic to Miami where doctors declared her brain dead from lack of oxygen. She was taken off life support on July 18. 'The brain is an organ that we don't fully understand,' Tolentino said. 'There are always these miracles - that's what I was hoping for.'
Here is a summary of the highlights for this article:

Isabella Tolentino, 6, died on July 18, 2012 after falling into a coma because of the treatment she received in the Dominican Republic for a case of appendictis. He mother Marissett wants to sue - alleging the hospital was negligent in its care because the insurance company would not pay for a private jet to fly her daughter to the US for help.

How to avoid penalties for early retirement withdrawals

The law allows employer-sponsored retirement plans to extend loans, but it is up to the plan whether or not it wants to allow loans. Accordingly, you should check to see if your plan allows loans to be made.
pick from the following.
A). Note which states have passed laws relating to the use of a 401 (k), which dictate for instance that loans must not be made in an active unemployment day program. Establish a retirement plan that becomes available immediately..
B). If the plan administrator agrees to give you a loan, then you can take it without the 10% penalty. Some plans might allow you to take a loan but limit what you can spend the money on..
C). If your plan doesn't allow loans, then you shouldn't take it. However, if you do have to take a loan, then sign a warning notice in the future that says " no loans are made..
D). Local governments are not authorized to reduce deposits to public savings accounts, but there are many advantages to doing so, such as medical and dental insurance programs are open for people able to pay off outstanding loans, and identity theft is almost guaranteed. Wait 3 years before a payout..

Richard I (8 September 1157 - 6 April 1199) was King of England from 1189 until his death. He also ruled as Duke of Normandy, Aquitaine and Gascony, Lord of Cyprus, Count of Poitiers, Anjou, Maine, and Nantes, and was overlord of Brittany at various times during the same period. He was the third of five sons of King Henry II of England and Duchess Eleanor of Aquitaine. He was known as Richard Coeur de Lion or Richard the Lionheart because of his reputation as a great military leader and warrior.
Richard had already taken the cross as Count of Poitou in 1187. His father and Philip II had done so at Gisors on 21 January 1188 after receiving news of the fall of Jerusalem to Saladin. After Richard became king, he and Philip agreed to go on the Third Crusade, since each feared that during his absence the other might usurp his territories. Richard swore an oath to renounce his past wickedness in order to show himself worthy to take the cross. He started to raise and equip a new crusader army. He spent most of his father's treasury (filled with money raised by the Saladin tithe), raised taxes, and even agreed to free King William I of Scotland from his oath of subservience to Richard in exchange for 10,000 marks. To raise still more revenue he sold the right to hold official positions, lands, and other privileges to those interested in them. Those already appointed were forced to pay huge sums to retain their posts. William Longchamp, Bishop of Ely and the King's Chancellor, made a show of bidding PS3,000 to remain as Chancellor. He was apparently outbid by a certain Reginald the Italian, but that bid was refused. Richard made some final arrangements on the continent. He reconfirmed his father's appointment of William Fitz Ralph to the important post of seneschal of Normandy. In Anjou, Stephen of Tours was replaced as seneschal and temporarily imprisoned for fiscal mismanagement. Payn de Rochefort, an Angevin knight, was elevated to the post of seneschal of Anjou. In Poitou the ex-provost of Benon, Peter Bertin, was made seneschal, and finally in Gascony the household official Helie de La Celle was picked for the seneschalship there. After repositioning the part of his army he left behind to guard his French possessions, Richard finally set out on the crusade in summer 1190. (His delay was criticised by troubadours such as Bertran de Born.) He appointed as regents Hugh de Puiset, Bishop of Durham, and William de Mandeville, 3rd Earl of Essex--who soon died and was replaced by Richard's chancellor William Longchamp. Richard's brother John was not satisfied by this decision and started scheming against William. When Richard was raising funds for his crusade, he was said to declare, "I would have sold London if I could find a buyer".

If you have been drinking, have someone else drive you, take a taxi, or just walk. Don't put yourself in the position of getting into serious trouble and possible injuring other people.
Available choices:
1). If you are driving your car, try to watch for obstacles as you drive. If you do see an oncoming police car, do not drive it to your car unless you are having difficulty with stopping..
2). You can also minimize the possibility of getting stopped by making sure that your car is in good operating order, that all your headlights and taillights are working properly, and by obeying all the rules of the road. Be courteous and respectful if you are stopped..
3). If you have a felony for any reason, break off a few minutes to play on an air conditioning unit in your vehicle and quickly go to your local pd headquarters. If you have a dui of any kind, stay away from that unit..
4). If you must, call your local police department or look at an online resources source. Only use a dui to help an injury, however minor..

Ryan Matthew Dunn (June 11, 1977 - June 20, 2011) was an American stunt performer, television personality, comedian, actor, writer, musician, and one of the stars of the MTV reality stunt show Jackass. Dunn rose to fame in the late 1990s as a member of the CKY Crew with his long-time friend, Bam Margera, for their extreme stunts and pranks recorded on camera, which led to the rise of Jackass. Dunn also hosted Homewrecker and Proving Ground, and appeared in the feature films Blonde Ambition and Street Dreams, as well as in Margera's films Haggard and Minghags. Dunn died in a car crash in 2011, on the 10th anniversary of Jackass.
On June 20, 2011, at around 3:30 a.m. EDT, Dunn and Zachary Hartwell, a production assistant on Jackass Number Two, were killed when Dunn's Porsche 911 GT3 veered off the road, hit a tree, and burst into flames in West Goshen Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. Dunn turned 34 nine days prior. He was buried at Highland Drive Cemetery, Brecksville, Ohio. Hours before the crash, Dunn had posted a photo to his Twitter account of himself and Hartwell drinking at a West Chester bar. Dunn was identified in the police report as the vehicle's driver, and a subsequent toxicology report showed Dunn had a blood alcohol level of 0.196 g/dL - more than twice the state's maximum legal limit of 0.08%. The police report stated "speed may have been a contributing factor in the crash" and preliminary investigations suggested the car had been traveling between 132 and 140 miles per hour (212 and 225 km/h) in a 55 miles per hour (89 km/h) zone. In August 2012, the parents of Zachary Hartwell filed a civil suit in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, naming the co-administrators of Dunn's estate as defendants, along with Barnaby's West Chester, the Pennsylvania bar where Dunn drank prior to the fatal crash. The suit claims negligence and recklessness, as well as wrongful death in the incident that killed 30-year-old Hartwell. The plaintiffs claim that Mr. Dunn displayed negligence and recklessness in failing to have his vehicle under adequate and proper control, operating his vehicle under the influence of alcohol, operating his vehicle at an excessive speed and violently veering off a road and into a tree, among other alleged transgressions. They are seeking unspecified punitive and compensatory damages, as well as interest, court costs and "delay damages as the law may allow."

Article:
The news that President-elect Donald Trump is expected to nominate Rex Tillerson, the chairman and chief executive of ExxonMobil, as his Secretary of State is astonishing on many levels. As an exercise of public diplomacy, it will certainly confirm the assumption of many people around the world that American power is best understood as a raw, neocolonial exercise in securing resources.
Tillerson figures prominently in “Private Empire: ExxonMobil and American Power,” a book I wrote about the corporation that came out in 2012. He declined my requests to interview him for that project, but I turned up at several public appearances he made and asked him a few questions from the reporters’ gallery. I also studied his public remarks, reviewed accounts of his activities reported in State Department cables obtained by Freedom of Information Act requests or released by WikiLeaks, and conducted interviews with other ExxonMobil executives, retirees, friends, competitors, civil-society activists and business partners from Asia to Africa to the Middle East.
trump_in_transition_inside_wp
Tillerson’s success within Exxon was attributable in part to the work he has done in Russia. He has forged close relations with both President Vladimir Putin and Igor Sechin, the close Putin ally who runs Rosneft, one of Russia’s oil-and-gas giants. In 2011, Tillerson flew to the Black Sea resort of Sochi to sign a joint-venture agreement with Putin under which ExxonMobil would partner with Rosneft to produce oil from the Arctic, a project made easier by the retreat of Arctic sea ice, due to global warming. Economic sanctions imposed on Russia because of its annexation of Crimea and its military interference in Ukraine have slowed this collaboration. If Tillerson is confirmed, he would be in a position to benefit the corporation where he spent his career, by, for example, advocating for the easing of Russian sanctions. In general, Tillerson and ExxonMobil have argued against economic sanctions as an instrument of American foreign policy. Tillerson’s compensation over the years has included large amounts of Exxon stock; he would presumably be required to divest those holdings, but at a minimum, the appearance of a conflict of interest would remain, because of his long service at Exxon and the wealth it has given him.
The main themes of “Private Empire” involved the ways that ExxonMobil saw itself as an independent, transnational corporate sovereign in the world, a power independent of the American government, one devoted firmly to shareholder interests and possessed of its own foreign policy. Exxon’s foreign policy sometimes had more impact on the countries where it operated than did the State Department. Take, for example, Chad, one of the poorest countries in Africa. During the mid-two-thousands, the entirety of U.S. aid and military spending in the country directed through the U.S. Embassy in the capital, N’Djamena, amounted to less than twenty million dollars annually, whereas the royalty payments Exxon made to the government as part of an oil-production agreement were north of five hundred million dollars. Idriss Déby, the authoritarian President of Chad, did not need a calculator to understand that Rex Tillerson was more important to his future than the U.S. Secretary of State.
In Kurdistan, during the Obama Administration, Tillerson defied State Department policy and cut an independent oil deal with the Kurdish Regional Government, undermining the national Iraqi government in Baghdad. ExxonMobil did not ask permission. After the fact, Tillerson arranged a conference call with State Department officials and explained his actions, according to my sources, by saying, “I had to do what was best for my shareholders.”
The goal of ExxonMobil’s independent foreign policy has been to promote a world that is good for oil and gas production. Because oil projects require huge amounts of capital and only pay off fully over decades, Tillerson has favored doing business in countries that offer political stability, even if this stability was achieved through authoritarian rule. As he once put it, “We’re really thinking about, well, what is it going to be fifteen, twenty years from now, and so what are the conditions in some of these countries likely to be?” The corporation maintains a political-intelligence and analysis department at its headquarters in Irving, Texas, staffed by former government officials, which tries to predict the stability of countries many years into the future by analyzing demographics, employment, political control, and other “fundamentals.” Although ExxonMobil has a stated policy of promoting human rights, and has incorporated the advice of human-rights activists in its corporate-security policies, it nonetheless works as a partner to dictators under a version of the Prime Directive on “Star Trek”: It does not interfere in the politics of host countries. The right kinds of dictators can be more predictable and profitable than democracies. ExxonMobil has had more luck making money in Equatorial Guinea, a small, oil-rich West African dictatorship that has been ruled for decades by a single family, than in Alaska, where raucous electoral politics has made it hard for Exxon to nail down stable deal terms. Similarly, ExxonMobil promotes the rule of law around the world—especially that part of the rule of law that favors international investment and makes international contracts enforceable.
Although ExxonMobil hires former State Department, Pentagon, and C.I.A. officials from time to time in order to bolster its political analysis and negotiations, some of the Exxon executives I interviewed spoke about Washington with disdain, if not contempt. They regarded the State Department as generally unhelpful, a bureaucracy of liberal career diplomats who were biased against oil and incompetent when it came to sensitive and complex oil-deal negotiations. They managed Congress defensively, and as just one capital among many in the world, a place more likely to produce trouble for Exxon than benefits. In nominating Tillerson, Trump is handing the State Department to a man who has worked his whole life running a parallel quasi-state, for the benefit of shareholders, fashioning relationships with foreign leaders that may or may not conform to the interests of the United States government. In his career at ExxonMobil, Tillerson has no doubt honed many of the day-to-day skills that a Secretary of State must exercise: absorbing complex political analysis, evaluating foreign leaders, attending ceremonial events, and negotiating with friends and adversaries. Tillerson is a devotee of Abraham Lincoln, so perhaps he has privately harbored the ambition to transform himself into a true statesman, on behalf of all Americans. Yet it is hard to imagine, after four decades at ExxonMobil and a decade leading the corporation, how Tillerson will suddenly develop respect and affection for the American diplomatic service he will now lead, or embrace a vision of America’s place in the world that promotes ideals for their own sake, emphatically privileging national interests over private ones. ||||| Focused crawls are collections of frequently-updated webcrawl data from narrow (as opposed to broad or wide) web crawls, often focused on a single domain or subdomain. ||||| In 2013, Vladimir Putin awarded ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson the Order of Friendship, one of the highest honors Russia gives to foreign citizens.
The silver badge underscores the close ties that have existed for many years between Russia and Tillerson, the leading candidate to be President-elect Donald Trump's secretary of state.
The 64-year-old Tillerson, a lifetime Exxon employee, came up through the ranks by managing the company's Russia account.
In fact, his close relationship with Russia is one of the major reasons Tillerson was selected to succeed Lee Raymond as CEO of Exxon (XOM) in 2006, according to Steve Coll's book "Private Empire: ExxonMobil and American Power."
Once he became CEO, Exxon bet billions on Russia's vast but notoriously-elusive oil resources through a bold partnership with Russian oil giant Rosneft. Putin himself attended the 2011 signing ceremony for the deal with Rosneft, which is majority owned by Moscow.
Russia has already indicated it would welcome Tillerson being named America's top diplomat.
"Trump continues to amaze," Alexey Pushkov, the head of the foreign affairs committee in the lower house of Russian parliament, said on Twitter. He said that selecting Tillerson would be a "sensation" and noted he has "a lot of experience working with Russia."
But Tillerson's close links to Russia are likely to receive scrutiny from U.S. lawmakers should he be nominated.
Russia faces U.S. sanctions over Moscow's annexation of Crimea. This weekend, a bipartisan group of U.S. senators called for an investigation into Russia's role in the 2016 election. The lawmakers said reports of Russian interference "should alarm every American."
Trump praised Tillerson on Fox News Sunday as "much more than a business executive" and a "world-class player." Trump cited the fact that Tillerson "knows many of the players" and does "massive deals in Russia" for Exxon.
Tillerson's biggest deal in Russia was announced in 2011 with Rosneft. The companies were focused on drilling for oil in three key Russian regions: the Arctic, the deepwaters of the Black Sea, and Siberia.
In 2012, Igor Sechin, a close ally of Putin and chairman of Rosneft, hailed the partnership as a "giant leap forward" and argued it's "more ambitious than man's first walk in space or sending a man to the moon."
The Exxon deal meant a great deal to Russia. Sechin, who was also then the deputy prime minister of Russia, bragged that after the Exxon agreement was signed, the valuation of Rosneft soared by $7 billion in just five days.
The partnership also gave Rosneft the chance to get a stake in Exxon's North American projects, including ones in West Texas and in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Tillerson himself seemed hopeful that the Exxon deal could lead to even closer ties between the two countries. "It cannot be anything but helpful to broadening the relationship between the American people and the Russian people," Tillerson said at the time.
Putin later awarded Tillerson the Order of Friendship, which is given to foreign citizens for "special merits in strengthening peace, friendship, cooperation and mutual understanding between peoples." It is also awarded for those who make a "great contribution" to "large-scale economic projects" in Russia.
In 2014, Exxon was hit hard by a round of U.S. and European Union sanctions that targeted Russia for its intervention in Ukraine. Exxon said it could have lost up to $1 billion due to the sanctions, according to regulatory filings.
Exxon would likely stand to gain if sanctions are lifted on Russia by the new administration.
"We are very anxious to get back to work there," Tillerson told industry analysts in March when asked if Exxon would be interested in restarting its venture with Rosneft in Russia.
Tillerson noted that it would take time to resume operations, especially in the Arctic, because "we had to dismantle all of the capability and the infrastructure" due to sanctions.
Tillerson said he's "thankful" the Russians haven't done anything to "make the situation worse." To the contrary, Tillerson said Russia has "done things to help us hang on to the rights we have" in the wake of the sanctions. ||||| Donald Trump’s leading candidate for secretary of state, ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson, would accelerate the president-elect's collision course with Congress over his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin and raise new questions about Putin’s role in the election.
Tillerson, whom Trump officials now call the front-runner for America’s top diplomatic job, has spent hours with Putin negotiating billions of dollars in Russian oil projects, and is believed to be on friendlier terms with the Russian autocrat than all but a handful of Americans. He has also been critical of U.S. sanctions imposed on Russia since 2014.
Story Continued Below
The potential selection of a Putin friend for the critical post is raising alarm in both parties that Trump intends to act on his campaign talk of refashioning a U.S.-Russian relationship now at its most adversarial point since the end of the Cold War.
Republican Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham are likely to mount aggressive opposition to Tillerson, according to sources familiar with their thinking.
“I don’t know what Mr. Tillerson's relationship with Vladimir Putin was,” McCain said in a Saturday interview with Fox News. “But I’ll tell you it is a matter of concern to me."
On Friday, McCain’s former longtime chief of staff, Mark Salter, tweeted that Tillerson would “sell out NATO for [Russian] oil and his pal, Vlad. Should be a rough confirmation hearing, and a no vote on the Senate floor.”
Democrats are also pledging a rough path to confirmation.
“The Putin relationship will be a major focus” of any Tillerson confirmation hearings, said a Senate Democratic aide. “Tillerson and the company opposed sanctions efforts on Russia, he has received an award from Putin, and has done extensive oil business generally in the country," the aide said.
In a Saturday afternoon statement, a Democratic National Committee spokesman called Trump’s presumed choice of Tillerson “outrageous,” calling it "another victory for Vladimir Putin, who interfered in our election to help elect Trump and now has a close ally with no foreign policy experience serving as America’s top diplomat."
Tillerson’s rising stock at Trump Tower comes at a particularly volatile moment. On Friday, U.S. officials disclosed that the CIA has concluded Putin’s government sought to influence the November presidential election in Trump’s favor. On Friday night, Trump’s office issued a defiant statement saying that U.S. intelligence officials are “the same people that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction” and that it’s “time to move on.”
But Democrats and many Republicans are not ready to do so. Also on Friday, President Barack Obama’s homeland security adviser, Lisa Monaco, said that Obama has ordered an intelligence review of election-related Russian hacking. The findings of that report could fuel planned GOP hearings on Russian cyber activities. Incoming Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer is also demanding bipartisan congressional action on the issue early next month, POLITICO reported Saturday.
“[I]f they’re able to disrupt elections, then it’s a national security issue, obviously,” McCain told reporters on Friday. He has been the most outspoken critic of a potential thaw with Russia, issuing a statement days after last month’s election warning that “the price of another ‘reset’” with Russia “is unacceptable.” (Obama and his former secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, pursued a Russia “reset” policy in his first term, though his counterpart at the time was not Putin but then-Russian President Dimitri Medvedev.)
A confirmation hearing for Tillerson would surely involve tough questions about his connection to Putin, who awarded Tillerson and several other energy executives an Order of Friendship medal in 2012.
“I agree, as you point out, that nothing strengthens relationships between countries better than business enterprise,” Tillerson told Putin during a June 2012 meeting at an oil refinery on Russia’s Black Sea coast.
Western sanctions on Moscow, imposed as punishment for Putin’s annexation of Crimea and his support for a pro-Russian insurgency in Ukraine’s east, have hit ExxonMobil hard. Tillerson, who became the company’s CEO in 2006 after starting his career as a production engineer there in 1975, signed agreements with Moscow to explore or drill in Siberia, the Black Sea and the Russian Arctic.
The sanctions have halted Exxon projects in the country, including a $700 million joint venture with the Russian oil giant Rosneft to drill in the Arctic Kara Sea. In a 2015 Securities and Exchange Commission filing, the company estimated its maximum potential losses due to Western sanctions at $1 billion.
Tillerson is hardly the only Western executive to do business with Putin, whose country is one of the world’s largest energy exporters. But at least one of Exxon’s major deals with Moscow was sealed after Putin’s 2014 seizure of Crimea began a new period of hostility with Washington.
That’s why Tillerson could face hard questions from several GOP Russia hawks who sit on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which must vote to advance any secretary of state nomination to the full Senate. They include Florida’s Marco Rubio, who has called Putin “a gangster and a thug”; Wyoming’s John Barrasso, who has complained of Putin’s “belligerence”; and Johnny Isakson of Georgia, who said in October that the U.S. “should really have physically gone in” to Ukraine to defend it from Russian aggression.
Tillerson could also be an awkward fit with Trump’s pick for defense secretary, James Mattis. The retired Marine general told an audience at Washington’s Heritage Foundation in May 2015 that the threat from Russia “is much more severe and much more dangerous than we have acknowledged.”
Other reported top candidates for Trump’s secretary of state also take a dim view of Putin, including former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, retired Army Gen. and former CIA Director David Petraeus, and retired Navy Adm. James Stavridis.
The idea that Trump might dictate the U.S.-Russia relationship is a source of enormous frustration to congressional Democrats, and particularly former aides to Clinton’s presidential campaign, who have been impatient to see the Obama White House take stronger action in response to what the intelligence community has concluded was the Kremlin-backed hacking of Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign emails.
While the CIA believes Russia was actively working to elect Trump — which would be consistent with a strongly anti-Clinton, pro-Trump bent in Kremlin-backed media — The New York Times reported in October that FBI and other intelligence officials reportedly believed that Russia was trying only to disrupt the U.S. election.
“One would also have to be willfully blind not to see that these Russian actions were uniformly damaging to Secretary Clinton and helpful to Donald Trump. I do not believe this was coincidental or unintended,” Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said in a statement Saturday. Schiff called for a “thorough investigation” by the House and Senate Intelligence Committees.
Though the hacked Democratic emails lacked a bombshell revelation, they created a steady drumbeat of embarrassing and negative stories — including several about the machinations of the controversial Clinton Foundation — that distracted from Clinton’s message and fueled GOP attacks against her. In the view of some Democrats, those revelations may have tilted the electoral balance in Trump’s favor. Clinton currently holds a 2.7 million-vote lead in the popular vote, but Trump carried the Electoral College thanks to narrow wins in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania by a cumulative total of little more than 100,000 votes.
Clinton aides remain furious that media coverage focused on the emails themselves and not the Russian role in their release, mostly via the website WikiLeaks.
Many Democrats and Obama administration officials would like to see stronger White House action to punish Putin for staging what some believe was a kind of soft coup. Some fantasize about seeing Putin’s reputed vast wealth exposed through leaked documents.
"Whether you attack us by MiG [fighter jet] or by mouse, it's an attack. It requires a response. It's clear that they were responsible for the cyberattack on our country in this past election,” Sen. Ben Cardin, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told reporters in mid-November.
Their hopes were raised when Vice President Joe Biden, in a mid-October interview, said with a grin that the U.S. would respond “at the time of our choosing, and under the circumstances that have the greatest impact.”
But officials say Obama’s options are limited.
The White House fears that Putin is likely more willing to escalate such a conflict. More importantly, they say he would have an advantage in a widening cyber war because the U.S. and Western Europe are far more integrated into the internet — making them more vulnerable targets than Russian government and industry.
Obama has also been openly wary about the precedent of a cyber war.
After a September meeting with Putin in China last month, in which he is believed to have raised the DNC email hack, Obama said he was wary of “a cycle of escalation” in the cyber realm.
“What we cannot do is have a situation in which suddenly this becomes the wild, wild West, where countries that have significant cyber capacity start engaging in unhealthy competition or conflict through these means,” Obama said.
Obama could impose new sanctions on Russia or its top officials through executive orders. But Trump could reverse them with a stroke of his pen next month. |||||
What is a summary?

– The surprise news that ExxonMobil chief Rex Tillerson is the leading candidate to be secretary of state has led to a slew of stories about how he might transition from the business world to the diplomatic one. The 64-year-old has been at the company 41 years. A sampling: "He is much more than a business executive. He is a world class player. He is in charge of, I guess, the largest company in the world," Trump himself said on Fox News. "And to me, a great advantage is that he knows many of the players. And he knows them well." Watch the video here. Tillerson has no public sector experience (which would be a modern first in the post), he's a lifelong Boy Scout, and he received a prestigious Russian honor from Vladimir Putin in 2013. The Washington Post digs into these facts and more here. He "has spent hours with Putin negotiating billions of dollars in Russian oil projects, and is believed to be on friendlier terms with the Russian autocrat than all but a handful of Americans. He has also been critical of U.S. sanctions imposed on Russia since 2014." From Politico. In fact, he rose through Exxon's ranks largely because of his work with Russia on various deals, observes CNNMoney, which takes a deeper look at them here. Because of those ties, however, a blogger at Vanity Fair sees a "collision course" ahead in the confirmation process, should Tillerson be named. Marco Rubio is among those who does not like the pick. Under Tillerson, Exxon "acknowledged, for the first time, the science underlying climate change. It has said it supports the creation of a carbon tax, which most Republicans have opposed, and it also supported the Paris climate agreement," which Trump has vowed to abandon. See the New York Times. Author Steve Coll wrote a book about Exxon in which Tillerson features prominently, and he finds the pick "astonishing," he writes at the New Yorker. "It is hard to imagine, after four decades at ExxonMobil and a decade leading the corporation, how Tillerson will suddenly develop respect and affection for the American diplomatic service he will now lead, or embrace a vision of America’s place in the world that promotes ideals for their own sake, emphatically privileging national interests over private ones."

Here is a question about this article: Gorbachev also radically expanded the scope of Glasnost, stating that no subject was off-limits for open discussion in the media. Even so, the cautious Soviet intelligentsia took almost a year to begin pushing the boundaries to see if he meant what he said. For the first time, the Communist Party leader had appealed over the heads of Central Committee members for the people's support in exchange for expansion of liberties. The tactic proved successful: Within two years political reform could no longer be sidetracked by Party "conservatives." An unintended consequence was that having saved reform, Gorbachev's move ultimately killed the very system it was designed to save.

Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett are also said to be appearing in the heist movie, which begins filming in October.
The movie is a spin-off from George Clooney and Brad Pitt's hit Ocean's franchise.
The all-female version will be helmed and co-written by Gary Ross, who previously directed The Hunger Games and Pleasantville.
It will be produced by Steven Soderbergh, who directed Clooney's Ocean's Eleven.
The new film, dubbed Oceans Ocho, follows on the heels of the recent all-female remake of Ghostbusters, which failed to meet up to box office expectations.
Released in 2001, Ocean's Eleven told the story of career thief Danny Ocean and his 10 accomplices who plan to rob three Las Vegas casinos at the same time.
A remake of the 1960 Rat Pack movie starring Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, it was followed up with two sequels.

After Charles VII's successful Normandy campaign in 1450, he concentrated his efforts on Gascony, the last province held by the English. Bordeaux, Gascony's capital, was besieged and surrendered to the French on 30 June 1451. Largely due to the English sympathies of the Gascon people, this was reversed when John Talbot and his army retook the city on 23 October 1452. However, the English were decisively defeated at the Battle of Castillon on 17 July 1453. Talbot had been persuaded to engage the French army at Castillon near Bordeaux. During the battle the French appeared to retreat towards their camp. The French camp at Castillon had been laid out by Charles VII's ordnance officer Jean Bureau and this was instrumental in the French success as when the French cannon opened fire, from their positions in the camp, the English took severe casualties losing both Talbot and his son.

Opening Statement of Bruce Sewell before the House Judiciary Committee | Tuesday, March 1, 2016
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It’s my pleasure to appear before you and the Committee today on behalf of Apple. We appreciate your invitation and the opportunity to be part of the discussion on this important issue which centers on the civil liberties at the foundation of our country.
I want to repeat something we have said since the beginning — that the victims and families of the San Bernardino attacks have our deepest sympathies and we strongly agree that justice should be served. Apple has no sympathy for terrorists.
We have the utmost respect for law enforcement and share their goal of creating a safer world. We have a team of dedicated professionals that are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year to assist law enforcement. When the FBI came to us in the immediate aftermath of the San Bernardino attacks, we gave all the information we had related to their investigation. And we went beyond that by making Apple engineers available to advise them on a number of additional investigative options.
But we now find ourselves at the center of an extraordinary circumstance. The FBI has asked a Court to order us to give them something we don’t have. To create an operating system that does not exist — because it would be too dangerous. They are asking for a backdoor into the iPhone — specifically to build a software tool that can break the encryption system which protects personal information on every iPhone.
As we have told them — and as we have told the American public — building that software tool would not affect just one iPhone. It would weaken the security for all of them. In fact, just last week Director Comey agreed that the FBI would likely use this precedent in other cases involving other phones. District Attorney Vance has also said he would absolutely plan to use this on over 175 phones. We can all agree this is not about access to just one iPhone.
The FBI is asking Apple to weaken the security of our products. Hackers and cyber criminals could use this to wreak havoc on our privacy and personal safety. It would set a dangerous precedent for government intrusion on the privacy and safety of its citizens.
Hundreds of millions of law-abiding people trust Apple’s products with the most intimate details of their daily lives – photos, private conversations, health data, financial accounts, and information about the user’s location as well as the location of their friends and families. Some of you might have an iPhone in your pocket right now, and if you think about it, there’s probably more information stored on that iPhone than a thief could steal by breaking into your house. The only way we know to protect that data is through strong encryption.
Every day, over a trillion transactions occur safely over the Internet as a result of encrypted communications. These range from online banking and credit card transactions to the exchange of healthcare records, ideas that will change the world for the better, and communications between loved ones. The US government has spent tens of millions of dollars through the Open Technology Fund and other US government programs to fund strong encryption. The Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technology, convened by President Obama, urged the US government to fully support and not in any way subvert, undermine, weaken, or make vulnerable generally available commercial software.
Encryption is a good thing, a necessary thing. We have been using it in our products for over a decade. As attacks on our customers’ data become increasingly sophisticated, the tools we use to defend against them must get stronger too. Weakening encryption will only hurt consumers and other well-meaning users who rely on companies like Apple to protect their personal information.
Today’s hearing is titled Balancing Americans’ Security and Privacy. We believe we can, and we must, have both. Protecting our data with encryption and other methods preserves our privacy and it keeps people safe.
The American people deserve an honest conversation around the important questions stemming from the FBI’s current demand:
Do we want to put a limit on the technology that protects our data, and therefore our privacy and our safety, in the face of increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks? Should the FBI be allowed to stop Apple, or any company, from offering the American people the safest and most secure product it can make?
Should the FBI have the right to compel a company to produce a product it doesn’t already make, to the FBI’s exact specifications and for the FBI’s use?
We believe that each of these questions deserves a healthy discussion, and any decision should be made after a thoughtful and honest consideration of the facts.
Most importantly, the decisions should be made by you and your colleagues as representatives of the people, rather than through a warrant request based on a 220 year- old-statute.
At Apple, we are ready to have this conversation. The feedback and support we’re hearing indicate to us that the American people are ready, too.
We feel strongly that our customers, their families, their friends and their neighbors will be better protected from thieves and terrorists if we can offer the very best protections for their data. And at the same time, the freedoms and liberties we all cherish will be more secure.
Thank you for your time. I look forward to answering your questions. ||||| Image copyright AFP/Getty Images Image caption Apple has resisted attempts to be made to unlock an iPhone
A judge in the United States has ruled that Apple cannot be forced to give the FBI access to a locked iPhone in a case that echoes an ongoing legal battle.
The judge in Brooklyn denied a motion by the US Justice Department to get Apple to unlock a phone in a drug case.
In an unrelated case, the FBI wants Apple to unlock the iPhone of Syed Rizwan Farook, who killed 14 people in San Bernardino, California in December.
But Apple has resisted, calling that demand "dangerous" and "unprecedented".
The ruling in Brooklyn on Monday centres on the same point as the San Bernardino case.
Analysis: Dave Lee, BBC North America technology reporter, San Francisco
The two court cases are not linked - the magistrate in San Bernardino doesn't have to pay any attention to the ruling and remarks from the New York judge.
But Apple feels the decision in New York gives added strength to its position. A senior Apple spokesman told reporters in a conference call that he was confident the San Bernardino judge would carefully analyse the New York ruling.
Most promising for Apple is the reason for which Judge Orenstein threw out the New York case.
He said he was not at all convinced the All Writs Act, a law more than two centuries old, could be used to force Apple to comply. The same law is being used in San Bernardino.
The All Writs Act is designed to give law enforcement powers not specifically addressed in other laws - but using it requires meeting certain strict criteria, too burdensome to detail here.
No legal precedent has been set here - but as the magistrate in San Bernardino considers her ruling, momentum certainly appears to be with the computing giant.
Apple v the FBI - a plain English guide
Apple's boss hits back at FBI conduct
Bill Gates calls for terror data debate
Fourteen people were killed and 22 injured when gunman Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik opened fire in the Californian city in December.
A court order in California demanded Apple help circumvent security software on Farook's iPhone, which the FBI said contains crucial information.
Apple's CEO Tim Cook said the request was "an overreach by the US government" and risked giving authorities "the power to reach into anyone's device to capture their data". Last week, the company asked a court to overturn the ruling.
The same Act from 1789 that was used by the FBI in the San Bernardino request was applied in the Brooklyn case. But Judge James Orenstein said the Act was not applicable in this case, adding that it was not right to impose "on Apple the obligation to assist the government's investigation against its will".
The US Justice Department said it planned to appeal against the Brooklyn ruling. |||||
Summary:
|
– A judge in New York has handed Apple a major victory in its encryption battle with the federal government. In a case involving the locked iPhone of a suspected drug trafficker , the judge ruled that the government can't use the 1789 All Writs Act to force Apple to weaken its security measures and create a way for investigators to access the phone, Gizmodo reports. The government is trying to use the act in a way so far-reaching that it would "produce impermissibly absurd results," New York Magistrate Judge James Orenstein wrote, noting that the government is clearly trying to obtain "crypto-legislative authority" in the courts "rather than taking the chance that open legislative debate might produce a result less to its liking." The government is also trying to force Apple to unlock the iPhone of San Bernardino shooter Syed Farook. The two cases are unrelated and the New York ruling will have no bearing on the California one, but Apple believes the new decision adds weight to its position ahead of a congressional Judiciary Committee hearing on the Farook case Tuesday, the BBC reports. TechCrunch reports that in his opening statement, Apple general counsel Bruce Sewell will argue that strong encryption is a good and necessary thing, and that weakening it will "only hurt consumers and other well-meaning users who rely on companies like Apple to protect their personal information." He plans to say that the FBI's request will set a "dangerous precedent" that will make all iPhones less secure.

Admission to the bar in the United States
Admission to the bar in the United States is the granting of permission by a particular court system to a lawyer to practice law in that system. Each U.S state and similar jurisdiction (e.g., territories under federal control) has its own court system and sets its own rules for bar admission (or privilege to practice law), which can lead to different admission standards among states. In most cases, a person who is ``admitted'' to the bar is thereby a ``member'' of the particular bar.
-- no;
-- yes;
Is this statement correct "do you have to be a member of the bar to practice law"?

(CNN)A winter storm dumping snow and disrupting travel in the central United States is headed toward the Northeast. The storm put the metropolitan Chicago area's more than 9 million people under a blizzard warning Sunday, and another 65 million people are under a winter storm warning across 18 states. More than 2,000 U.S. flights were canceled Sunday, many of them in and out of Chicago, according to Flightaware.com, an online flight-tracking service. Already for Monday, more than 1,000 flights have been scratched. Chicago could get as much as 15 inches of snow from the storm system, CNN meteorologist Michael Guy said. "The streets will stay plowed and passable so people will be safe and secure," Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel promised at a news conference Sunday. More than 350 pieces of equipment, including plows and salt spreaders, fanned out across the city, officials said. Still, Chicago Public Schools canceled classes for Monday, according to its Twitter page. Up to a foot of snow was forecast in parts of Iowa, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. The storm will move east and affect major metropolitan areas such as New York City and Boston on Monday, Guy said. "New York City could see a wintry mix of precipitation just in time for the morning commute with a possibility of sleet and ice," and Boston will "get another round of wintery weather with new snow accumulations from 10 to 12 inches," he said. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio issued a severe weather warning and hazardous travel advisory for Monday. "The biggest threat in this case would be ice. We would expect a lot of icing on our roads and sidewalks -- up to a quarter inch of ice in some places, and a lot of that would happen in the early morning hours, so we'd want people to be very, very cautious tomorrow," he told reporters. Slippery driving conditions could start as early as Sunday night. "For anyone leaving Super Bowl parties, you're going to have to be ready to be careful at that point," said de Blasio. "I want to urge people to think ahead." CNN's Kimberly Hutcherson, Joe Sutton, and meteorologist Derek Van Dam contributed to this report.

Review: For Urban Cowboy John Travolta plays one of the stronger alpha males ever portrayed on the big screen. He's a decent enough young kid who leaves his parent's homestead and strikes out for the big city of Dallas where his uncle Barry Corbin has promised to find him work in the petrochemical industry. In 1980 that was beginning to boom and Texas was definitely a growing place in the USA.
Travolta does a good job in making we the audience care about his character who when you come right down to it is a sexist pig. He meets and marries Debra Winger who's from the same background, but she's got some ideas that women should not be shadows of their men. And when she beats him at Gilley's mechanical bull, a man's game, that's it for him.
Scott Glenn who's an ex-convict is working at Gilley's and this film was his breakout role. He's a real snake in Urban Cowboy, he gets Travolta's goat with a mere look and he moves in on Winger. Travolta in turn takes up with rich girl, Madolyn Smith Osborne who's slumming at Gilley's.
Despite the characters, Urban Cowboy was really one gigantic commercial for the self-styled biggest honky tonk in the world. Gilley's is no longer there in the suburban Texas community of Pasadena, but the memories do live on. And the best thing about Urban Cowboy is the wonderful score of country/western songs that were featured in the film. I'm not sure if some of the songs were not written specifically for Urban Cowboy, but it's the only reason I can think of why the Motion Picture Academy ignored the musical aspects of this film. I especially liked Johnny Lee's Looking For Love, if it was specifically written for this film, it's a disgrace that it wasn't nominated for Best Song.
I liked Debra Winger's character best in this film. She doesn't lose a trace of femininity, but she stands up to Travolta and does it in style. And this review is dedicated to that yet as unknown woman who will one day be the first woman bull-rider in the Professional Bull Riders.

By. Daily Mail Reporter. A California high school wrestling coach has been suspended after video emerged of him using wrestling moves as he subdued a male student in a classroom on Friday. Mark Black had been teaching his science class when it allegedly came to his attention that the unnamed student had drugs in his possession. A confrontation ensued and video shows what happened thereafter, but what seems like a case of a teacher going too far has some of Black's colleagues cheering him on. Scroll down for video. Shocking? A shocking physical altercation between student and teacher was caught on a cell phone camera Friday. In a letter sent to parents by Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District, Superintendent Sandra Lyon makes her stance that the well-regarded wrestling coach and teacher crossed a line. 'We really don't want teachers putting their hands on other students,' she wrote, calling the 'physical restraint' he used 'unaceptable.' At the heart of the confrontation was the student's alleged marijuana possession. 'The little boy was selling drugs in class,' student Kylan Townsend told KTLA. 'The wrestling coach told him to stop...I guess he didn't listen and tables were thrown. They started fighting.' There were no punches thrown, no kicking, and no yelling during the altercation. However, Black was suspended even before an investigation was conducted. These. facts, paired with the student's alleged illegal activities have some. area students, teachers and parents flocking to Black's side. A. petition called Reinstate Mark Black at Santa Monica High School has. quickly appeared on Change.org with an accompanying Facebook page. Take down: The video shows Santa Monica High School wrestling coach and science teacher Mark Black using his moves to take down an unnamed student. The student is alleged to have had drugs in his possession. Supporters of Black's say the well-liked teacher was attempting to subdue him while waiting for authiroties. 'Mark Black, longtime science teacher and wrestling coach at Santa Monica High School, was attacked on the morning of April 4, 2014,' reads the petition. 'Mr. Black, a wrestling coach with over 30 years experience, placed the student in a restraint hold to stop the student from further attacking him. This was in an effort to get the situation under control,' it goes on to explain. The Change.org page received nearly 2,000 isgnatures before the weekend was out and the Facebook page 'We support Coach Black of Samohi' had nearly 8,000 likes. 'Mark Black is an incredible man, coach, and mentor who has helped shape my son, and countless students, into incredible loving, responsible young adults,' wrote parent Tanja Elliott on the Change.org petition. On Friday, Lyon wrote:. 'As a parent, I know that we want our children to be safe at school. This is a fundamental expectation that I honor and respect. I am committed to ensure that any disciplinary action taken in this matter is based on facts, the law and all students’ right to a safe learning environment.' No punches were thrown, nor was there any kicking or yelling during the incident which got Black suspended before an investigation could take place.

A Public Policy Polling survey released Tuesday found Walker is the clear favorite of one in four GOP voters, with both moderates and the tea-party right wing giving him high marks. That 25 per cent showing is well ahead of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, whose 17 per cent showing is a poor indicator of any public-opinion muscle his gargantuan fundraising advantage might earn him. Even Dr. Ben Carson, an outsider who only brought on a campaign finance chairwoman this week – former Newt Gingrich fundraising coordinator Amy Pass – placed one point ahead of Bush, with 18 per cent support.

In 2007, the county authorized EnviroCAB, a new taxi company, to operate exclusively with a hybrid electric vehicle fleet of 50 vehicles and also issued permits for existing companies to add 35 hybrid cabs to their fleets. As operations began in 2008, EnvironCab became the first all-hybrid taxicab fleet in the United States and the company not only offset the emissions generated by its fleet of hybrids, but also the equivalent emissions of 100 non-hybrid taxis in service in the metropolitan area. The Green transport taxi expansion was part of a county campaign known as Fresh AIRE, or Arlington Initiative to Reduce Emissions, that aimed to cut production of greenhouse gases from county buildings and vehicles by 10 percent by 2012. Arlington has a higher than average percentage of households without a car. In 2015, 13.4 percent of Arlington households lacked a car, and dropped slightly to 12.7 percent in 2016. The national average is 8.7 percent in 2016. Arlington averaged 1.40 cars per household in 2016, compared to a national average of 1.8.

What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
Acetone is a solvent that is often used for stripping paint or cleaning off nail polish but it can be used for melting some types of plastic. It is available at most hardware and beauty supply stores, as well as from online retailers. Get pure acetone, as it will work better than a mixed solvent solution for dissolving plastic. Since you will be using a chemical that dissolves plastic, you want to make sure that you are using a container that won’t be dissolved as well. Consider using a metal or glass bowl. Acetone can be a skin irritant, can be painful and irritating if it gets in your eyes, and it is extremely flammable. Because of these characteristics, it's important to be cautious when using it. Wear gloves that are chemical resistant, eye protection that will block splashes, and don't use the acetone anywhere near an open flame or ignition source.
Summary:
|
Purchase acetone to use for melting plastic. Put the plastic in a non-plastic container. Use caution when handling the acetone.

Please answer a question about the following article about Light-emitting diode:
LEDs have also been used as a medium-quality voltage reference in electronic circuits. The forward voltage drop (e.g. about 1.7 V for a normal red LED) can be used instead of a Zener diode in low-voltage regulators. Red LEDs have the flattest I/V curve above the knee. Nitride-based LEDs have a fairly steep I/V curve and are useless for this purpose. Although LED forward voltage is far more current-dependent than a Zener diode, Zener diodes with breakdown voltages below 3 V are not widely available.
What LEDs have a very steep I/V curve?
|
Nitride-based LEDs
