Catherine V. "Ginny" Kilgore of Oxford, an attorney with North Mississippi Rural Legal Services, has been recognized for her dedication to serving the indigent. Kilgore - who oversees delivering legal services to the disabled and elderly in 39 north Mississippi counties - is recipient of the University of Mississippi School of Law's 2002 Public Service Award. The award was announced recently at a dinne r, held in Kilgore's honor and hosted by law school Dean Samuel M. Davis, who presented her with an engraved plaque. "Ginny Kilgore is a public servant in the truest sense," said Davis. "Her selection continues the tradition of this award in recognizing those who have labored in the trenches, with little or no compensation but with great professional and personal satisfaction in helping to bring justice and equality to those who need it most." "This award means a great deal to me," Kilgore said, pointing to others so honored. "The work of those who received the award before me has been so important; I feel very honored." After earning bachelor's and master's degrees in education and a few years teaching, Kilgore enrolled at the UM law school. Upon graduation in 1975, she entered private law practice in Oxford, joining NMRLS in 1978. Since then, she has earned promotions from managing attorney, senior attorney, then director of the Council on Aging project. Since 1990, she has worked in the Administrative Law Unit and Resource Development, and directed the Elder Law Project, serving the northern half of the state. She also is an adjunct professor in the UM law school's Civil Law Clinic. She held a similar post a few years ago in the school's Elder Law Clinic. Kilgore says she's found her niche. "I've always thought it was important to do work to help people. I really enjoy it. The issues I've dealt with through the years have been on the side of helping people maintain the basics of life - home, healt h care, jobs and family." She says her desire to serve others was sparked early, growing up in a single-parent home, aware that her widowed mother faced certain challenges as she supported her four children through public school and college.
Question: "What did Ginny Kilgore receive at a dinner as recognition for laboring with little or no compensation to residents in the 39 north Mississippi counties?"

Madrid, Spain (CNN) -- Relatives of a woman killed in a Spanish airline crash were erroneously given the remains of another victim, and then were asked by authorities to return them, CNN partner network CNN+ reported Thursday. The victims of the crash were first laid out at a Madria convention center. A Madrid judge has opened an investigation into the error, and judicial sources say the initial indication is that the mixup occurred not in the proper identification of the victim, but in delivering the wrong remains to the family in question, CNN+ reported. The family Wednesday received an urn numbered 104, and were told it contained the ashes of their loved one, Pilar Gonzalez Ferreira, who died in the crash. But as the family was preparing to leave Madrid, officials called to tell them about the error and asked for the return of urn 104, CNN+ reported. Instead of urn 104, the family was supposed to have received urn 134, which actually contains the remains of Pilar Gonzalez, CNN+ reported, citing judicial sources and another family which also lost a relative in the crash. The Spanair MD82 jet crashed last week at Madrid's airport as the plane was trying to take off, killing 154 people. The aircraft, bound for Spain's Canary Islands, managed to rise only slightly before coming down quickly to the right of the runway, its tail section hitting the ground first, just off the asphalt. Then the out-of-control plane skidded and bounced at least three times as it careered 1,200 meters (3,840 feet) across uneven terrain and exploded, coming to rest in a gully, a top official of the investigative commission told a news conference in Madrid on Tuesday. Many of the bodies were badly charred from the fire, and authorities have used DNA samples to carry out numerous identifications.
Choose from options: Based on the paragraph, does the response "The aircraft, bound for Spain's Canary Islands, managed to rise only slightly before coming down quickly to the right of the runway, its tail section hitting the ground first, just off the asphalt" correctly answer the question "How did the crash happen?"?

Background: Dario Fo (Italian pronunciation: ['da:rjo 'fo]; 24 March 1926 - 13 October 2016) was an Italian actor-playwright, comedian, singer, theatre director, stage designer, songwriter, painter, political campaigner for the Italian left-wing and the recipient of the 1997 Nobel Prize in Literature. In his time he was "arguably the most widely performed contemporary playwright in world theatre". Much of his dramatic work depends on improvisation and comprises the recovery of "illegitimate" forms of theatre, such as those performed by giullari (medieval strolling players) and, more famously, the ancient Italian style of commedia dell'arte. His plays have been translated into 30 languages and performed across the world, including in Argentina, Chile, Iran, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka Sweden, the UK and Yugoslavia.
Context: An eldest child, Fo was born at Sangiano, in Lombardy's Province of Varese, near the eastern shore of Lago Maggiore. His younger brother Fulvio would become a theatre administrator, their younger sister Bianca Fo Garambois, a writer. Their mother, Pina Rota Fo, from a peasant background, wrote a book of reminiscences of the area between the wars, Il paese delle rane (Land of Frogs, 1978). Their father, Felice, was a station master for the Italian state railway, and the family frequently moved along the Swiss border when Felice was transferred to new postings. Felice, a socialist, was also an actor, appearing for an amateur theatre company in works by Ibsen among others. Fo learned storytelling from his maternal grandfather and Lombard fishers and glassblowers. Among the places in which Fo lived during his early years was Porto Valtravaglia, a glassblowing colony in which, it has been claimed, resided the highest percentage of insane people in Italy. In 1942, Fo moved to Milan to study at the Academy Brera Academy. However, the Second World War intervened. Fo joined the fascist army of Mussolini's Repubblica Sociale Italiana. Years later, Fo did not deny this affiliation but supported this moot thesis: he did it to avoid arousing suspicion, because his family was active in the anti-fascist Resistance and Fo helped his father to smuggle refugees and Allied soldiers to Switzerland by disguising them as Lombard peasants. His father is also thought to have helped smuggle Jewish scientists to the safety of Switzerland. As the end of the war approached, Fo joined an anti-aircraft division of the navy, anticipating an immediate discharge due to a shortage of munitions. He was mistaken and was instead dispatched to a camp in Monza at which Benito Mussolini himself arrived. Fo soon deserted with the aid of false documents and wandered for a while before joining a parachute squadron. He then deserted this as well, prompting a further unsuccessful search for the Resistance movement during which he slept rough in the countryside. After the war Fo returned to the Brera Academy, also taking up architectural studies at the Politecnico di Milano. He started a thesis on Roman architecture, but becoming disillusioned by the cheap impersonal work expected of architects after the war, he left his studies before his final examinations. He had a nervous breakdown; a doctor told him to spend time doing that which brought him joy. He began to paint and became involved in the piccoli teatri (small theatres) movement, in which he began to present improvised monologues. He considered his artistic influences to include Beolco, Brecht, Chekhov, De Filippo, Gramsci, Mayakovsky, Moliere, Shaw and Strehler.

Context: Hoping to build on their surprising victory over the Jaguars, the Texans flew to LP Field for an AFC South showdown with the Tennessee Titans. After a scoreless first quarter, the Texans trailed early, as Tennessee QB Vince Young ran 20 yards for a touchdown. Houston would respond with kicker Kris Brown nailing a 27-yard field goal. However, things started getting ugly as Titans DE Tony Brown returned a fumble 40 yards for a TD. In the third quarter, QB David Carr lasted for only one drive, which resulted in a fumble recovery for Tennessee. He would be replaced with back-up QB Sage Rosenfels. However, a Rosefels interception resulted in Young completing a 20-yard TD pass to WR Bobby Wade. The Texans would respond with Rosenfels completing a 10-yard TD pass to WR Andre Johnson. In the fourth quarter however, CB Pacman Jones returned a punt 53 yards for a touchdown. Houston would try to retaliate, as Rosenfels completed two touchdown passes (a 1-yarder and a 2-yarder to rookie TE Owen Daniels), but in the end, any hope for a comeback resulted in a fumble, dropping the Texans to 2-5.

Economic sanctions against Russia agreed by EU governments

European Union governments reached a deal on Tuesday to impose economic sanctions against Russia, targeting its oil industry, defence, dual-use goods and sensitive technologies.
The sanctions will be reviewed after three months, a diplomat said.
Details of the EU sanctions are still to come but could also include a ban on the country's biggest state-owned banks from selling stock or long-term debt on European markets. The Dutch foreign minister, Frans Timmermans, said on Tuesday that sanctions under consideration on Russian capital markets would have a "far-reaching and immediate effect".
Calls for widened sanctions have gained momentum since the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine, which the US and allies have said was was almost certainly shot down by pro-Russian separatists using a Russian-supplied surface-to-air missile. Russia has denied supplying such a missile.
The White House has said signalled that the US, which is concerned Moscow could still launch a full-scale cross-border intervention into Ukraine, will follow the EU and escalate sanctions. "We expect the European Union to take significant additional steps this week, including in key sectors of the Russian economy. In turn, and in full coordination with Europe, the United States will implement additional measures itself," Tony Blinken, a national security adviser to Barack Obama, said after a video conference call between the US president, and four European leaders: the British prime minister, David Cameron; the French president, François Hollande; Italy's prime minster, Matteo Renzi; and Germany's chancellor, Angela Merkel.
The US secretary of state, John Kerry, said on Tuesday there's been "no shred of evidence" that Russia is willing to help end the violence and bloodshed between the Ukraine separatists backed by Moscow and the government in Kiev and reiterated further US sanctions could come.

Louisiana 25-acre sinkhole brings mini-earthquakes, explosion fears
Scientists are now saying they will need to monitor for decades an enormous -- and growing -- Louisiana sinkhole that has already forced hundreds to evacuate, contaminated an aquifer and has been registering increased seismic activity, including mini-earthquakes.
What is known as the Bayou Corne sinkhole in southern Louisiana is now reportedly 25 or so acres in size and 350 feet deep, having opened in August 2012 when the wall of a subterranean salt mine collapsed and the ground above it was seemingly swallowed by the earth. It has since filled with water.
"While it was a manmade action that started this, it’s geology and natural forces that are making everything happen," Patrick Courreges, a policy analyst for the Louisiana Dept. of Natural Resources, told TheVerge.com. "And geology happens slow."
When it occurred, Assumption Parish reportedly ordered the 300-or-so nearby residents to evacuate their homes. Hundreds have done so, although more than a few have remained behind, regardless of the danger.
According to TheVerge.com, recent studies show a good deal more methane gas than the initial estimate of 45 million cubic feet have leaked into a nearby aquifer and, “the fear is that the highly combustible gas will collect in a crevice or enclosed space and then ignite.”
Meanwhile, a YouTube video garnering nearly 7 million views since its posting in August shows the sinkhole, which is expected to at least double in size over time, swallowing numerous trees.
The video was reportedly shot by John Boudreaux, a local official coordinating efforts to hamstring the sinkhole’s growth, in hopes of attracting a measure of national attention to the affected residents’ plight.
And WAFB reports Gov. Bobby Jindal and Attorney General Buddy Caldwell announced their intention in early August to file a lawsuit against the salt mine’s former operator, Texas Brine, Co., to recoup its estimated $8 million in expenses related to the state’s ongoing mitigation work.
The station also reported two weeks ago a “second” crack had been discovered in one of the numerous stabilizing berms installed around the sinkhole.
Texas Brine reportedly elaborated on what happened in a statement, saying, “There has been a recent increase in seismic activity detected on the Texas Brine seismic instrumentation over the last ten days. These occurrences consist primarily of minor tremors or "micro-earthquakes" (MEQs) and not extended events or very long period (VLP) tremors.”
Mike Schaff is among those who have chosen to remain in his home.
He tells TheVerge.com, “My wife lives in another part of the state. We were planning on retiring here. Now, instead of coming up and enjoying the weekend, sitting on the patio drinking a few glasses of wine, we wake up in the morning and we go look for houses. That’s the new reality.”
For its part, Texas Brine had offered 92 buyout offers to local residents, and 44 had taken the deal as of mid-July. And although numerous residents now reportedly receive weekly checks from the company in the amount of $875, many continue to pay their mortgages and utility bills in hopes of one day returning.

If you watched "The Rachel Zoe" project on Bravo, you'll recall that a good portion of each episode was dedicated to Rachel saying "Bananas" and "I die." Of course she trademarked the sayings. She wouldn't want Taylor Jacobson or Brad Goreski or anyone else using them to get famous. [NY Mag] ||||| Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)
Rachel Zoe’s clothing empire might soon be in shreds — sources say her line isn’t selling well in stores and her Bravo reality show may also be in trouble.
The pin-thin stylist-turned-designer has become a household name from styling A-list clients including Jennifer Garner, Anne Hathaway and Demi Moore, and through her Bravo reality show, “The Rachel Zoe Project.” Last summer, she launched a clothing line with Chinese retail giant Li & Fung.
But despite the large promotional platform of her Bravo show, we hear the line isn’t doing well at stores including Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s and Nordstrom, with industry insiders snipping that interest in the line has “peaked.”
We hear Li & Fung “is panicked” about Zoe’s collection, and there are also rumblings that “The Rachel Zoe Project” may not return to Bravo for a fifth season.
To add insult to injury, sources tell us that Zoe’s assistant, interior designer Jeremiah Brent, is getting his own reality show on the network. Brent, who redecorated Zoe’s Hollywood home on the show, appeared on “Zoe Project” in Season 4, having been fired and rehired by Zoe and her husband, Rodger Berman.
Brent appears to have moved on and started his own business, Jeremiah Brent Design, as shown by photos of his office on Twitter. He would be the third Zoe assistant to get a reality show, including Brad Goreski (“It’s a Brad Brad World”) and Taylor Jacobson, who appears in Oxygen Network’s upcoming “Hollywood Unzipped: Stylist Wars.”
A rep for Zoe, who will show at Lincoln Center during New York Fashion Week, didn’t comment. But Alan Chartash, the chief strategy officer for Li & Fung USA, said: “We’re very happy. Apparel launched a year or so, and since that time, we’ve launched footwear, handbags and we’re launching a line of jewelry exclusively with Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman. We’re supportive of Rachel and the continuation of the brand. Like any clothing line, it ebbs and flows, but we’re very happy with the apparel sales.” |||||

– Rachel Zoe is probably "dying" over this news, and not in a good way. The celebrity stylist's fashion line has apparently "peaked" and is no longer performing well at Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, and the like, sources tell the New York Post. Zoe's partner in the line, Li & Fung, "is panicked," a source says. Making matters worse, reality show The Rachel Zoe Project is also having issues—it may not be invited back to Bravo for season five. But yet another one of her minions—interior designer Jeremiah Brent—is getting his own show on the network. It’s a Brad Brad World, starring ex-assistant Brad Goreski, premiered on Bravo in January. Oh, and previous former assistant Taylor Jacobson will appear on an upcoming Oxygen show. Bananas!

Left, Michael Phelps warms up prior to competing in the men's 400-meter freestyle preliminary race, and right, Cleveland Browns' Johnny Manziel (2) sits on the bench during the second half of an NFL football game against the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, N.C. (AP)
Addiction is a disease that does not discriminate. Hollywood’s brightest, athletic champions and political leaders mingle with CEOs, academics and average moms, dads, sons and daughters amongst what the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD) estimates are 17.6 million Americans who suffer from alcohol abuse and 20 million people who have used an illegal drug within the past 30 days.
Two standout athletes recently entered treatment facilities in hopes of salvaging their careers, but not before finding themselves under scrutiny for where their social habits led them: The NFL’s Johnny Manziel, who debuted as a rookie quarterback last season for the Cleveland Browns after a storied career at Texas A&M, and Michael Phelps, the 18-time Olympic gold medalist swimming champion.
Manziel’s hard-partying ways were well-documented on his social media accounts and in the tabloids as the 22-year-old drank poolside in Las Vegas, surrounding himself with bottles of high-priced alcohol and hit the club scene regularly – resulting in a questionable July 2014 photograph where he was seen rolling up a dollar bill in a bathroom. Phelps was handed his second drunken-driving arrest in September 2014, reportedly following an eight-hour gambling binge at a local casino. The 29-year-old Olympian was then handed a second suspension by USA Swimming – the first came in 2009 when he was photographed inhaling from a marijuana pipe and was subsequently dropped by major sponsors like Kellogg.
For both men, it took being humiliated in multiple public instances before they sought treatment, which according to one expert is typically the case when dealing with a professional athlete.
“What will get them into treatment is something that happens, like they get arrested, or they get fired from the team, have some marital problems,” Dr. Louis Baxter, who did not treat either athlete, told FoxNews.com. Baxter, the director of the American Board of Addiction Medicine and president and CEO of the Professional Assistance Program of New Jersey, serves as a substance abuse consultant to both the NFL and NBA.
“The major obstacle is the athlete’s competitive mindset,” Baxter said. “First of all, they don’t want to acknowledge that they have a problem, they don’t want to lose fame or a starting position, they may in fact hide injuries and hide difficulties they are having with substances.”
There’s another element of an athlete’s mind that plays against them, according to Sally Greer, a former professional tennis player who battled alcohol and pill addiction and is now a counselor.
“You have this entitled person who thinks they can control everything,” Greer, who also was not involved in the treatment of either athlete, told FoxNews.com. She added that because society often regards addiction as a weakness, it’s difficult for an athlete to admit a problem.
“It’s very difficult for an athlete to admit to themselves, number one, that they have a problem – but that happens to everybody,” she said. “What’s difficult for athletes is to get them to understand that it isn’t the weakness in character, it is something that needs to be treated as a disease.”
“What I find more often than not is that they tend to relapse a lot because they continue to think ‘I can do it, I can do it, I can do it,’ and the truth is, they can’t,” Greer said.
Even once an athlete completes treatment, the obstacles surrounding their own environments remain. Because of their fame, and the money that follows, it may be difficult for a player to weed out who is and isn’t supportive of their new lifestyle. The athlete and his friends think he’s “super human” and telling him that he can’t control his disease makes it especially difficult.
“When you’ve got people like Johnny Manziel, they have a lot of people around them that do a disservice,” Greer said. “They’re in an environment where they can easily have access to anything they want so with that attitude and the availability then it’s just really, really difficult for them to just give it up and just admit that they have a problem.”
Baxter said there are many places that an athlete may turn before they turn to the team for help. They may seek out a private physician to prescribe pain medication, or a find a friend who can provide it for them. In the instance of a substance abuse issue, it may be the athlete attempting to hide an injury, or chronic pain.
“The mind of an athlete, professional and otherwise, is that they are always looking for an edge, and they are really trying not to reveal if they are having injuries or if they are having substance problems,” he said. It poses a risk to the athlete for injury, because they are then able to perform beyond the pain, which is the body’s way of causing an athlete to slow down to avoid further injury, he said.
When an individual decides to be treated for his or her disease, doctors must first determine what the pain condition is, if medical or surgical intervention is necessary, and the severity of the addiction. Once it’s determined that they meet the criteria for dependence or addiction, a proper level of care must be selected whether it’s an outpatient, individual, group or residential setting.
“In my experience, I think that especially professional athletes do better in a residential setting because they’re taken from their star environment and placed in a more therapeutic environment,” Baxter said. Greer, who founded 1 ON 1 Addictions Counseling for Athletes, an individual counseling program, agrees. In her experience, she said, she found that even if an athlete entered a group in-patient treatment facility, they were still given star treatment by other patients who wanted autographs, or stories from the glory days.
The founders of Athlete’s Recovery, a facility outside Houston that is specifically geared toward athletes seeking treatment, also agree. Former NFL cornerback and Division 1 collegiate football coach Kenny Greene watched many of his teammates struggle with substance abuse. Together with his wife Tina, a health care professional, they opened the center in partnership with Summit BHC. As a team they have also partnered with a performance sports facility so that while athletes seek recovery for their addictions, they may also continue their rehabilitation for an injury, or they may continue training in a state-of-the-art facility. Neither Phelps nor Manziel were treated at the Greene's facility.
“Athletes are so used to being around other athletes,” Tina Greene told FoxNews.com. “It gives them a comfort level that they would understand the other guys dealing with the other stressors and pressures they’ve been dealing with, it gives us that base,” she said of the athletes-only center. She added that another advantage is that the facility’s alumni network allows for a younger player to reach out to another player for support.
“We felt like there was a tremendous need, there’s a vast amount of current or former athletes that are struggling with addictions,” Kenny told FoxNews.com. “We want them to have a place where they can stay safe and know that their best interests are in our hearts.”
The basis of treatment at Athletes Recovery, which at any point has up to 30 professionals and staff and hundreds more in their network, revolves around the need of the athlete and what will be most beneficial to them, Kenny said. Their treatment plan revolves around addressing the pressures that they feel, whether it to be performance related, general stress or pain.
Tina said a major aspect of their facility’s mission is to provide the athletes with a team network of support, rather than focus on the clinical terms .An athlete is geared toward reaching goals, achieving titles and relying on coaches. Once the athlete takes the time to unveil and deal with the deep rooted issues in residential treatment and counseling, their recovery is much more likely to succeed, Tina said.
“Many times you go in [to treatment] and you don’t have anyone who has played a sport, and wouldn’t understand. All of our staff in some way can relate to sports,” she said. The treatment also involves family-based therapy, which includes both biological family members and team members. Often a coach, or teammates, agents and others will enter the plan for aftercare.
A critical part in recovery is going from a contained environment back to the environment where the athlete himself is making the choices.
“We stay in contact and monitor any red flags that might come up, have they missed a meeting or is it the family saying, ‘Hey, I’m seeing things that are not appropriate,’” Kenny said. “Our position is, we don’t want them to relapse, we want to get it before it becomes a problem again.”
Following treatment, it is imperative that the athlete not return to their former hangouts with the crowds who encouraged their destructive habits, Greer said.
“The problem with family is if they’re not in recovery themselves, then they don’t understand what it’s like to be an addict or an alcoholic. They don’t understand why can’t you just have one, because it’s a disease.”
It remains to be seen what the future holds for both Manziel and Phelps. On Thursday, Phelps returned to the pool and bested fellow champion Ryan Lochte in the 100 fly, acknowledging that he has made mistakes but saying he is ready to return to the sport and has grown as a person since his time away. And after being seen for the first time since leaving rehab at a Texas Rangers game Tuesday night, Manziel issued an apology to the Browns organization and fans.
“When you’re in recovery, it’s up to you, it’s up to nobody else, nobody is putting a gun to your head, you have to take responsibility for everything,” Greer said.

Wolves were once present in Great Britain. Early writing from Roman and later Saxon chronicles indicate that wolves appear to have been extraordinarily numerous on the island. Unlike other British animals, wolves were unaffected by island dwarfism, with certain skeletal remains indicating that they may have grown as large as Arctic wolves. The species was exterminated from Britain through a combination of deforestation and active hunting through bounty systems.

TEXT:This is possibly the worst film I've ever seen. The fact that it has a flimsy storyline is bad enough, that they've hooked it around the subject of football violence makes it 100 times worse.
I had severe doubts about the premise of this film even before I started watching, but went into it open minded enough even to accept the way that the writers saw fit to introduce Elijah Wood's character Matt into the hooligan scene.
But the film throws up inaccuracy after inaccuracy, to the point that by the middle of the film each one makes you cringe harder than the time before.
Let's clear up a few things: Hooligans don't tend to virtually smash up their own pub before a run-of-the-mill league game; they don't set out to kill each other; they don't ONLY wear Stone Island (and others in the crowd, hooligans or not, do). They most certainly don't, when having taken exception to a new firm member, trot off to their rival firms territory for pie and mash. And I'd love to meet the hool who would go and grass on his firm's top boy to the rival firm. (Although you can scratch what I said about setting to out kill each other if one does exist).
Don't get me wrong,I'm yet to see a film on the subject that doesn't contain some fantasy whims, but this is on a par with The Firm for cluelessness.
I found it ironical that Wood's American nemesis is morally condemned by his character for being a cocaine user, when this is part and parcel of the British hooligan scene. The film chooses not to challenge Wood's morals and instead steers clear of any of the firm using coke.
I could go on, but I think I've made my point.
As for the plot, it's highly unimaginative, and I'm sure if I hadn't spent the entire film bemoaning the points, and more, made above then I would have guessed what was going on sooner than I did. And believe me, I was well in front.
I get the distinct impression this film is aimed at men, with the hope that women will enjoy the injection of emotional issues that are raised.
If I'm right, then the makers have failed completely. It's too unrealistic to be enjoyed by anyone who knows about the scene, and I can't believe the kind of female who looks for emotive films would give a damn about any of the characters given their violent tendencies.
Are there any good points? Maybe the fight scenes are well choreographed and filmed, but I'm rarely impressed by slow-mo action, certainly not when it's a fight as the point is a ruck is rousing enough anyway.
There are some funny, if unrealistic moments. Wood's trip to school did raise a smile for me. But a few mildly funny moments hardly make up for watching two hours of complete fabricated dross.
If you're British avoid like the plague, if only not to further develop misconceptions of the scene if you're not in the know. If you're American, you may enjoy it, as it's clearly tailored to the market. But no one can deny the plot is flimsy, predictable and ultimately over the top.

Parker was born in Bruges, Belgium, and raised in France. His father, Tony Parker Sr., an African American, played basketball at Loyola University Chicago as well as professionally overseas. His mother, Pamela Firestone, is a Dutch model. Parker's great-uncle Jan Wienese is an Olympic gold medalist in rowing.
On August 1, 2014, Parker signed a three-year, $43.3 million contract extension with the Spurs. The Spurs finished the 2014-15 season with a 55-27 record, but lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Los Angeles Clippers in seven games. Parker struggled in the playoffs due to injury and averaged 10.9 points a game on 36% shooting. In the 2015-16 season, Parker helped the Spurs win a franchise-best 67 games while averaging 11.9 points per game. In the 2016 playoffs, the Spurs swept the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round, but were eliminated in the second round by the Oklahoma City Thunder in six games. Heading into the 2016-17 season, Parker lost longtime teammate Tim Duncan to retirement. The Spurs finished the season with a 61-21 record, as they registered back-to-back 60-win seasons for the first time in franchise history. Parker played 63 games and averaged 10.1 points per game, his lowest average since his rookie season. In the 2017 playoffs, the Spurs were once again matched with the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round. San Antonio again defeated Memphis 4-2, with Parker averaging 16.3 points per game in the series. After scoring 18 points in Game 2 of the second round, a win against the Houston Rockets, Parker left the game with a rupture of his left quadriceps tendon that ended his season. Game 3 of the series marked San Antonio's first postseason game without Parker since 2001, which ended an NBA record of 221 straight playoff appearances for Parker. The injury required surgery and led some to speculate Parker could miss significant time, if he came back at all. On November 27, 2017, in a 115-108 win over the Dallas Mavericks, Parker had six points and four assists in 14 minutes in his first appearance since tearing his quadriceps tendon. On November 29, Parker had 10 points and five assists while playing 18 minutes in his second game back.
Did he ever recover?

– To anyone born after 1995, the floppy disk is better known as that thing that resembles the "save" icon. To the Pentagon, it's the gizmo that controls America's nukes. A report from the Government Accountability Office finds US government agencies spend $60 billion a year operating and maintaining outdated systems—three times more than is spent on upgrades, per CNN. One such system: the Pentagon's IBM Series-1 computer which uses 8-inch floppy disks "in a legacy system that coordinates the operational functions of the nation's nuclear forces," including intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear bombers. For youngsters, the big floppy disks were the precursor to the 3.5-inch ones, before the CD came around. "This system remains in use because, in short, it still works," a Pentagon rep tells the AFP, per the BBC, which notes you'd need 130,000 8-inch floppy disks to get the storage capacity of a 32GB memory stick. "However, to address obsolescence concerns, the floppy drives are scheduled to be replaced with secure digital devices by the end of 2017," the rep says. Other system upgrades are expected by 2020. "Maybe we'll have Nintendo Gameboys controlling our nukes by the next presidential election," quips CNN's Jake Tapper. The Treasury, Commerce, and Veteran Affairs departments should also look into upgrading. The report finds all three use computer code introduced in the 1950s, per the Verge. (Floppy disks are partly to blame for lost scientific data.)

(CNN) Want to launch a nuclear missile? You'll need a floppy disk.
That's according to a new report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), which found that the Pentagon was still using 1970s-era computing systems that require "eight-inch floppy disks."
Photos: Gadget graveyard Photos: Gadget graveyard Floppy discs – Eight-inch floppy discs became commercially available in the 1970s. They allowed up to 1.2 megabytes of storage capacity. Today, a flash drive can hold up to 1 terabyte and comes in all sorts of practical novelty designs.

Journos loved them, particularly if you worked in radio as editing was a breeze. These durable gadgets took up little space and were anti-skip, unlike (pre-memory) CD players. Per the original Walkman, it was a Sony product. The company laid the MD to rest earlier this year.

But Atari went from high score to game over, when it filed for bankruptcy in January this year. The rise of gaming on PCs and mobile devices has impacted the console videogame industry.

Such disks were already becoming obsolete by the end of that decade, being edged out by smaller, non-floppy 3.5 to 5.25-inch disks, before being almost completely replaced by the CD in the late 90s.
Except in Washington that is. The GAO report says that U.S. government departments spend upwards of $60 billion a year on operating and maintaining out-of-date technologies.
That's three times the investment on modern IT systems.

The US nuclear weapons force still uses a 1970s-era computer system and 8-inch floppy disks, a government report has revealed.
The Government Accountability Office said the Pentagon was one of several departments where "legacy systems" urgently needed to be replaced.
The report said taxpayers spent $61bn (£41bn) a year on maintaining ageing technologies.
It said that was three times more than the investment on modern IT systems.
The report said that the Department of Defence systems that co-ordinated intercontinental ballistic missiles, nuclear bombers and tanker support aircraft "runs on an IBM Series-1 Computer - a 1970s computing system - and uses eight-inch floppy disks".
"This system remains in use because, in short, it still works," Pentagon spokeswoman Lt Col Valerie Henderson told the AFP news agency.
The floppy disk - what is it?
Image copyright Eyewire
Also called diskette or disk, it became popular in the 1970s
A standard 8in (200 mm) floppy disk had 237.25kB of storage space, enough for 15 seconds of audio
You would need more than 130,000 8-inch floppy disks to store 32GB of information - the size of an average memory stick
In the 1990s, the 3.5in floppy became the norm, with a 1.44MB of memory
Dell stopped making computers with inbuilt floppy disks in 2003. Very few manufacturers still make them
They are still in use in some 1990s technical equipment too valuable to scrap
"However, to address obsolescence concerns, the floppy drives are scheduled to be replaced with secure digital devices by the end of 2017."
She added: "Modernisation across the entire Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications enterprise remains ongoing."
The report said that the Pentagon was planning to fully replace the system by the end of 2020.
According to the report, the US treasury also needed to upgrade its systems, which it said was using "assembly language code - a computer language initially used in the 1950s and typically tied to the hardware for which it was developed". ||||| The Pentagon and other US agencies still rely on outdated technology to carry out important functions — including some nuclear operations — according to a new government report. The report, published by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), shows that a command and control unit tasked with coordinating "the operational functions of the nation's nuclear forces" still uses 8-inch floppy disks and runs on an IBM / Series 1 computer — a model that was first produced in 1976. Other agencies, including the Department of the Treasury and the Department of Veteran Affairs, reported using IT systems that are at least 50 years old.
The report once again raises concerns over the government's use of obsolete technologies, and the costs associated with them. According to the GAO, taxpayers spent $61.2 billion last year to maintain outdated systems, while just $19.2 billion went toward updating federal technology. The Pentagon says the nuclear command and control unit will phase out floppy disks by the end of 2017, and that it will fully modernize the system by 2020.
"This system remains in use because, in short, it still works," Pentagon spokeswoman Lt. Col. Valerie Henderson told the AFP.
The Office of Management and Budget has launched an initiative to replace old IT systems, but it has not yet been finalized. Until it's put into place, the report says, "the government runs the risk of maintaining systems that have outlived their effectiveness." ||||| This crawl of online resources of the 115th US Congress was performed on behalf of The United States National Archives & Records |||||

Claim: The one child policy results in sweeping human rights violations
What evidence supports this claim?
|
1. The One Child policy is often strictly enforced in China and many parents are given information about contraception to prevent any chance of an unplanned pregnancy .
2. Not only does a forced abortion represent a significant attack on a womans bodily autonomy , procedures of this type are officially contextualised as correcting the results of wrongdoing .
3. However a large number of pregnancies - within any population - are inevitable , despite the precautions that parents may take .
4. The woman is not counselled or assured that she is not morally culpable for her actions ; she is placed in a position where the destruction of her foetus is portrayed as the inevitable result of her own lack of responsibility .
5. Whether as a result of defective medication , irresponsible behaviour , or simple bad luck , sufficiently frequent sexual activity will always lead to pregnancy .
6. Again , forced sterilisation in this way causes large psychological harms due to the manner in which the persons body is violated .
7. Life Site News .
8. This has happened in some cases almost immediately after birth , which is incredibly traumatic for the people involved .
9. Further , should these people ever leave China it prevents them from raising a family in the future with more than a single child .

DENVER — Angie Zapata was a tall woman with striking black hair and eyes who would attract the attention of men, even those who knew she was biologically male. But prosecutors say when Allen Andrade found out, he beat her to death with a fire extinguisher. Her sister discovered her battered body under a blanket in her Greeley apartment last July. Andrade, 32, of Thorton, is scheduled to go on trial Tuesday on charges including first-degree murder and a bias-motivated crime, which could add three years to his prison sentence if convicted.

Summarize this article:
Chinese are growing more outspoken about the "fog," now accurately calling it "smog," covering cities like Beijing.
BEIJING—While China’s chief climate negotiator is getting rock star treatment at the Durban climate summit this week, his peers back in the capital are suffering a third straight day of foul air.
As a leading Canadian newspaper put it, China provided “the few glimmers of hope at the stalled negotiations” in Durban, where "photographers and television journalists swarmed around the chief Chinese negotiator, Xie Zhenhua, as he entered a news conference on Monday to announce his list of conditions for considering a legally binding treaty on carbon emissions after 2020."
It seems that despite being the world's biggest carbon emitter, China could be the key to a deal on a legally binding agreement to reduce emissions.
However, not many glimmers of hope could be spotted back home.
From the China Daily website A grid image posted on the China Daily newspaper showing the dramatic changes in air quality in Beijing in the past four days.
A persistent 'fog'
The Chinese state-run print media all ran headline stories Tuesday morning on the persistent "fog" that has blanketed Beijing and parts of the country’s northeast since the weekend. (See video above of the "hazardous" level of smog on Monday).
Much of the coverage focused on the hundreds of flights cancelled at the Beijing Capital International airport—the world’s second busiest hub—or the rising and very vocal concerns about air pollution. Some local reports referred to sales of air filter masks and air filter machines spiking in the past week.
Still more reports tried to cast the air pollution issue as one of sovereignty. "The heavy fog or smog that has shrouded Beijing in the past couple of days has triggered a renewed round of debate over the different air pollution standards applied by China and the United States," said an opinion piece in the Global Times, a state-run newspaper with a strong nationalist overtone.
But at least these same newspapers are now calling it "smog" rather than "fog," as they were just a day ago. The China Daily, another state-run newspaper, ran a headline on page 3 crying, "Exposure to smog is severe hazard." Later in the day, the paper’s web site posted four stark images of the same location showing changes in air visibility. (See photo above). The images are pretty staggering.
Only 13 days of 'good' air this year so far
And as we write this, the ever-trusty and ever-reliable @BeijingAir Twitter feed has been down five hours, prompting followers to wonder whether the pollution has finally gotten to the air quality index monitor that lives on top of the U.S. Embassy in Beijing.
Post by @TomVandeWeghe An image of an iPhone app circulating on Twitter this afternoon, showing the @BeijingAir monitor out of commission.
A sobering analysis of the @BeijingAir feed can be found in this post by China Dialogue, which notes that the improvements in air quality claimed by officials at the Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau "are due to irregularities in the monitoring and reporting of air quality – and not to less polluted air."
Moreover, based on the analysis using the @BeijingAir data, this year there have only been 13 days of "good" air quality.
Buried further amidst the quantitative data was one more alarming point: "…if Beijing’s fine particulate concentration even reached the polluted levels of Los Angeles, life expectancy may increase by over five years."
We at NBC News Beijing are trying to claw back a few months to our life span. We have just taken delivery of two air filter machines for the bureau. ||||| Beijing’s pollution dropped from unhealthy levels as a cold front swept through the Chinese capital, allowing flights to resume after four days of smog that spurred criticism of the government’s environmental record.
Fog and snow forced the cancellation of almost 700 flights since Dec. 5, with 27 called off this afternoon, according to the Beijing Capital International Airport website. Pollution levels dropped below “unhealthy” for the first time since Dec. 3, according to data collected by a U.S. Embassy monitoring station.
The smog led people to buy more air filters and pollution masks, the Global Times and China Daily newspapers reported today. The Global Times, a newspaper owned by the Communist Party’s People’s Daily, published an editorial saying the nation needed to “face the reality” of its pollution problem.
“Our pollution has become severe,” the unsigned editorial said. “It is time for us to shift our focus from development to protection.”
The U.S. Embassy’s pollution monitor, which measures air pollutants on a 500-point air quality index, had dropped at 2 p.m. to 57, classified as “moderate,” from 268, or “very unhealthy” six hours before. At 7 p.m. on Dec. 4, the U.S. monitor was above 500, or “beyond index.”
Source of Tension
The U.S. Embassy’s pollution feed on Twitter has been a source of tension with the Chinese government because it monitors pollutants of 2.5 micrometers in size. The Chinese government only releases data measuring pollutants that are 10 micrometers large, and its readings are often not as severe. Access to Twitter is blocked in China.
While the U.S. Twitter feed was reporting hazardous pollution levels on Dec. 4, for example, the China Environmental Monitoring Center released data showing that Beijing had been slightly polluted, with a measurement between 101 and 200, in the previous 24 hours. Fog warnings were issued for Beijing from the afternoon of Dec. 4 until this morning.
Today’s Global Times editorial said the discrepancy between the two readings was becoming an argument about credibility that the government could lose. Chinese environmental protection “is hardly a functional system,” it said.
The Global Times and China Daily, also state-controlled, ran stories reporting that sales of air purifiers, masks and humidifiers had risen since November. Chris Buckley, owner of Beijing-based Torana Clean Air Center, said business for air purifiers had been “tremendous” in the last few months as pollution reached unhealthy levels and the government switched on coal-fired heating plants.
“Toxic Soup”
“When the weather gets cold and the coal burning kicks in, you get this kind of toxic soup effect that’s happening,” Buckley said in a phone interview. “You see this haze anyway when you get a lot of pollution but on moist days it creates this smog effect which is fog with pollution in it.”
A second China Daily story today reported that lung cancer rates were expected to rise for the next 20 to 30 years even as smoking rates remain flat, and that worsened air pollution “could be a major culprit.” The report cited Shi Yuankai, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Cancer Hospital
Before hosting the 2008 Olympics, Beijing imposed driving limits, suspended work at construction sites and moved factories out of the city to clean up the capital’s air. Beijing has targeted transforming all its heating plants to burning natural gas instead of coal by the end of 2015.
Restrictions started for the games that barred half the city’s privately owned cars from roads each day were eased afterwards so that each of the city’s automobiles is barred from driving one day a week depending on the last number of their license plates.
“There was some improvement in the run-up to the Olympics,” Buckley said. “In 2010 and 2011 it’s gotten bad again and we’ve definitely seen more sales as a result of that.”

Summary:
|
– Those shadowy days that appear in mid-afternoon in Beijing aren't just caused by fog after all, Chinese officials are finally admitting. It's throat-choking, eye-watering, blinding smog. And it's been so atrocious the last few days that authorities have had to cancel flights out of Beijing International Airport, the world's second busiest hub, reports MSNBC. State-run media had been complaining about a persistent "fog," but are now talking about the health threats of pollution—and residents have been scooping up masks and air filter machines for their homes. The timing was poignant as officials from China, the biggest carbon emitter in the world, are at the Durban summit negotiating a binding agreement to reduce emissions. A cold front today was beginning to clear the air, but not quickly enough to stem harsh criticism of authorities. The Global Times, owned by the Communist Party’s People’s Daily, published an editorial saying the nation needed to “face the reality” of its pollution problem. “Our pollution has become severe,” said the unsigned editorial. “It is time for us to shift our focus from development to protection.” Chinese environmental protection “is hardly a functional system,” it said. The US embassy's pollution monitor in Beijing today was down to "moderate" from "very unhealthy" the previous day. Pollution on Sunday was so bad it was beyond the monitor's ability to measure it, reports Bloomberg.

Gallagher was born in Ballyshannon, County Donegal in 1948. His father Daniel was employed by the Irish Electricity Supply Board, who were constructing Cathaleen's Fall hydroelectric power station on the Erne River above the town. The family moved, first to Derry City, where his younger brother Donal was born in 1949. His mother, Monica, and the two boys then moved to Cork, where the brothers were raised.
Gallagher played a worn sunburst 1961 Stratocaster (Serial Number 64351) for some years. It was reputedly the first in Ireland,and was ordered from Fender by Jim Connolly, a member of The Irish Showband. In 1961, Connolly ordered a cherry red Stratocaster through Crowley's music shop of Cork's McCurtain Street. When Fender shipped a sunburst Stratocaster instead, it was put up on sale in 1963 as a second-hand instrument, which Gallagher bought in August 1963 for just under PS100. Speaking about Gallagher's purchase, his brother Donal recalled: "His dream ambition was to have a guitar like Buddy Holly... This Stratocaster was in the store as a used instrument, it was 100 pounds... in today's money you couldn't even compare you might as well say it was a million pounds... my mother was saying we'll be in debt for the rest of our lives and Rory said well actually with a guitar like this I can play both parts, rhythm and lead, we won't need a rhythm player so I can earn more money and pay it off so the Stratocaster became his partner for life if you like." The guitar was extensively modified by Gallagher. The tuning pegs and the nut were replaced, the latter interchanged a number of times. The pickguard was also changed during Gallagher's time with Taste. Only the middle pick-up is original. The final modification was the wiring: Gallagher disconnected the bottom tone pot and rewired it so he had just a master tone control along with the master volume control. He installed a 5-way selector switch in place of the vintage 3-way one. Most of the paint was removed from the guitar in 1967 or 1968 during the Taste period, as evidenced from contemporary photographs. Although the Strat was left abandoned in a rainy ditch for days after being stolen from the back of a tour van in Dublin, this is not believed to have caused any ill effect. A borrowed Telecaster was also stolen at the same time but never recovered. When the Strat was recovered two weeks later, Gallagher swore he would never sell it or paint it. The paint removal and appearance of extensive road wear was in keeping with Gallaghers public persona and image. It also had a period of time of having a replacement neck, with the original neck bowing due to the amount of moisture it absorbed during continuous touring. The neck was taken off and left to settle, and was eventually reunited with the Strat after returning to its correct shape. Other quirks include a 'hump' in the scratch plate which moves the neck pick-up closer to the neck on the bass side, and a replacement of all of the pick-ups, though this replacement was due to damage rather than the perception of a tonal inadequacy. One final point of interest is that one of the clay double-dot inlays at the 12th fret fell out and was replaced with a plastic one, which is why it is whiter than the other clay inlays. On 21 and 22 October 2011, Rory's brother Donal brought the guitar out of retirement to allow Joe Bonamassa to perform with it on his two nights at the London Hammersmith Apollo. Bonamassa opened both night's performances with his rendition of "Cradle Rock" using Gallagher's Stratocaster.

The Bengals took an early 7-0 lead after Carson Palmer threw a 43-yard touchdown pass to Terrell Owens. At the end the first quarter, the Buccaneers pinned the Bengals back at their own 6-yard line. One the first play of the second quarter, Cody Grimm intercepted Palmer, and returned the ball 11 yards for a touchdown for a 7-7 tie. A Mike Nugent 31-yard field goal gave the Bengals a 10-7 halftime lead. In the third quarter, Tampa Bay drove 80 yards for their second touchdown, and a 14-10 lead. the Bengals replied with a field goal, to trim their deficit to 14-13.

Background: Piers Morgan was born Piers Stefan O'Meara on 30 March 1965 in Newick, Sussex, England, to Vincent Eamonn O'Meara, an Irish-born dentist, originally from County Offaly, and Gabrielle Georgina Sybille (nee Oliver). He took his stepfather's surname and became known as Piers Stefan Pughe-Morgan. He attended the independent school Cumnor House from the ages of seven to thirteen, and then Chailey School, a comprehensive secondary school in Chailey, near Lewes, East Sussex, followed by Priory School for sixth form. Morgan studied journalism at Harlow College.
Context: In partnership with Matthew Freud, he gained ownership in May 2005, of Press Gazette, a media trade publication together with its "cash cow", the British Press Awards, in a deal worth PS1 million. This ownership was cited as one of the reasons many major newspapers boycotted the 2006 awards. Press Gazette entered administrative receivership toward the end of 2006, before being sold to a trade buyer. First News was launched by Morgan on 4 May 2006. A weekly paper aimed at seven to 14-year-olds, he claimed at its launch that the paper was to be "Britain's first national newspaper for children". Morgan was editorial director at First News, responsible for bringing in celebrity involvement. He referred to the role as "editorial overlord and frontman". Morgan was filmed falling off a Segway, breaking three ribs, in 2007. Simon Cowell and others made much of Morgan's previous comment in 2003, in a Mirror headline after former U.S. President George W. Bush fell off a Segway: "You'd have to be an idiot to fall off wouldn't you, Mr President". In 2012, following the revelation of Jimmy Savile's sexual abuse against children, Morgan claimed to have "never met" Savile in his lifetime - although it was pointed out that in a 2009 piece by Morgan in The Mail on Sunday's Night & Day magazine claiming that "As I left, Jimmy Savile came up to me. 'Your TV shows are BRILLIANT!. he exclaimed. ... I've always loved Jimmy Savile." Later, in 2017, Morgan accused Ewan McGregor of being a "paedophile-loving hypocrite" for his past support of Roman Polanski cancelling an appearance on Good Morning Britain due to Morgan's comments opposing the Women's March on Washington. He became the editor-at-large of the Mail Online website's US operation in September 2014 and Morgan writes several columns a week. He also writes a weekly diary for the Mail on Sunday Event magazine, having also written one for its predecessor Live.

Clemens was born in Dayton, Ohio, the fifth child of Bill and Bess (Lee) Clemens. He is of German descent, his great-grandfather Joseph Clemens having immigrated in the 1880s. Clemens's parents separated when he was an infant. His mother soon married Woody Booher, whom Clemens considers his father.
Clemens unexpectedly appeared in the owner's box at Yankee Stadium on May 6, 2007, during the seventh-inning stretch of a game against the Seattle Mariners, and made a brief statement: "Thank y'all. Well they came and got me out of Texas, and uhh, I can tell you it's a privilege to be back. I'll be talkin' to y'all soon." It was simultaneously announced that Clemens had rejoined the Yankees roster, agreeing to a pro-rated one-year deal worth $28,000,022, or about $4.7 million per month. Over the contract life, he would make $18.7 million. This equated to just over $1 million per start that season. Clemens made his 2007 return on June 9, defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates by pitching six innings with seven strikeouts and 3 runs allowed. On June 21, with a single in the 5th inning against the Colorado Rockies, Clemens became the oldest New York Yankee to record a hit (44 years, 321 days). On June 24, Clemens pitched an inning in relief against the San Francisco Giants. It had been 22 years and 341 days since his previous regular-season relief appearance, the longest such gap in major league history. On July 2, Clemens collected his 350th win against the Minnesota Twins at Yankee Stadium, giving up just two hits and one run over eight innings. Clemens is one of only three pitchers to pitch his entire career in the live-ball era and reach 350 wins. The other two are Warren Spahn (whose catcher for his 350th win was Joe Torre, Clemens's manager for his 350th), and Greg Maddux, who earned his 350th win in 2008. His final regular season appearance was a start against the Red Sox at Fenway Park, in which he allowed 2 hits and 1 unearned run in 6 innings, and received a no-decision. Clemens finished the 2007 regular season with a record of 6-6 and a 4.18 ERA. Clemens was forced to leave Game 3 of the 2007 ALDS in the third inning after aggravating a hamstring injury. He struck out Victor Martinez of the Cleveland Indians with his final pitch, and was replaced by right-hander Phil Hughes.

In 1998, after the return of Steve Jobs, Apple consolidated its multiple consumer-level desktop models into the all-in-one iMac G3, which became a commercial success and revitalized the brand.

(CNN) -- Presidential candidates Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain are detailing their plans for solving the country's energy crisis and criticizing each other's proposals this week as they campaign in battleground states.
Here's a look at the candidates' energy proposals:
Overall strategy
McCain, the presumptive GOP nominee, has proposed a national energy strategy that would rely on the technological prowess of American industry and science.
McCain has said he would work to reduce carbon emissions 60 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. He has said he would commit $2 billion annually for 15 years to advance clean coal technology.
He also has pledged to oppose a windfall profits tax on oil companies that, according to his campaign Web site, "will ultimately result in increasing our dependence on foreign oil and hinder investment in domestic exploration."
McCain also believes the U.S. needs to deploy SmartMeter technologies, which collect real-time data on the electricity use of individual homes and businesses.
Meanwhile, Obama laid out his comprehensive energy plan Monday in Lansing, Michigan.
"If I am president, I will immediately direct the full resources of the federal government and the full energy of the private sector to a single, overarching goal -- in 10 years, we will eliminate the need for oil from the entire Middle East and Venezuela," the presumptive Democratic nominee told a crowd.
Obama's plan also would invest $150 billion over the next 10 years and leverage billions more in private capital to build a new energy economy that he said would harness American energy and create 5 million new jobs.
