Article:Summit chairman Donald Tusk said 40,000 would be relocated to other EU states over the next two years.
No agreement on a proposed quota system has been reached at the summit.
The Greek debt crisis is also on the summit's agenda. Greece and its international creditors remain deadlocked after talks on Thursday.
Earlier, Mr Tusk called on EU member states to share the burden of the boat loads of illegal migrants who have crossed the Mediterranean.
New figures from the UN refugee agency UNHCR show that 63,000 migrants have arrived in Greece by sea this year and 62,000 in Italy.
"Leaders agreed that 40,000 persons in need will be relocated from Greece and Italy to other states over the next two years," Mr Tusk told reporters. "Interior ministers will finalise the scheme by the end of July."
Leaders also agreed to resettle another 20,000 refugees from outside the EU.
The BBC's Damian Grammaticas in Brussels says Hungary, which has seen thousands of migrants cross its border by land, and Bulgaria, one of the EU's poorest countries, have both been granted exemptions.
The UK has opted out of the scheme, while nations in eastern Europe refused to accept set quotas, so it will be only voluntary. This angered Italy's Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, who called the plan "modest".
Italy has sought more help from its EU partners to handle the boatloads of migrants.
The migrant crisis has been high on the agenda for the EU summit, which opened on Thursday.
153,000
migrants counted on Europe's borders
149% increase from 2014
63,000 migrants reached Greece by sea
62,000 migrants reached Italy by sea
10,000 on Hungary/Serbia border in May
Why is EU struggling with migrants and asylum?
EU summit: Greece and migrants to dominate agenda
The crisis is being fuelled by the many Syrians fleeing the civil war in their country.
More than three million refugees are being housed in countries on Syria's borders - far more than the EU has taken in.
But many thousands are also fleeing chaos, violence and dire poverty in Eritrea, Somalia and other countries of sub-Saharan Africa.
Meanwhile, the impasse in the Greek debt talks has threatened to overshadow the summit.
Only once agreement on economic reforms is reached between Greece and its creditors - the European Commission, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) - will the final €7.2bn tranche of bailout funds be released to Greece.
The cash-strapped country must make a €1.6bn (£1.1bn) IMF debt repayment by Tuesday or face default and a possible exit from the euro.
On Thursday, a meeting of eurozone finance ministers also broke up without progress on the issue.
It was the fourth time in a week that the Eurogroup had met in an attempt to prevent a Greek debt default. They will meet again on Saturday.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that meeting would be "decisive" in finding a solution.
IMF head Christine Lagarde said lenders had been presented with a counter-proposal by the Greek parties "at the last hour" on Thursday and needed more time to assess it, Reuters reported.
Also during Thursday's talks, UK Prime Minister David Cameron outlined his plans to renegotiate the terms of Britain's membership of the EU.
Mr Tusk said EU leaders should consider British concerns but "only in a way that is safe for all of Europe".

Jane's doll, Samantha, was a magical doll. Jane kept Samantha hidden from her friends, even Julie, who was her best friend. Jane didn't want all the other girls from school, like Wanda and Ruth, to find out that she had a magical doll. Samantha could do things other dolls couldn't. Jane would whisper in her ear a secret word, and all of a sudden Samantha would come to life, hopping around, running all over. But Samantha did more than run, she could talk. Jane told Samantha everything, and Samantha understood. One day, Jane was naughty and lied to her mother. Jane's mother put Samantha on top of the refrigerator where Jane could not get to her. Jane was very sad. The one person she told everything to was out of her reach. The next day, Jane had one of the worst days of her life. She needed to tell someone, but Julie wasn't around. She needed Samantha. She had no ladder, chair, or stool to reach her. Julie moved the kitchen table forward towards the refrigerator, and hopped on top. She started to climb up to reach for Samantha, and grabbed her quickly. She came down, dropping Samantha on the floor, and broke Samantha. Jane whispered the secret word, but Samantha didn't awake. Samantha's powers were gone. She couldn't walk, run, talk, or listen. Jane hurt her the one person she could trust the most. Then, Samantha moved, looked at Jane, and a tear came from her eye.

Last night skywatchers were treated to the annual Eta Aquarid meteor shower. But later this month we might be in store for a meteor storm that has never been seen before as Earth passes through the tail of a comet. As our planet passes through debris from Comet 209P/LINEAR, astronomers say we could see as many as 1,000 shooting stars per hour. On the nights of 23 and 24 May sky watchers could be in for a treat as Earth passes through the debris left by Comet 209P/LINEAR. This could provide observers in the US and Canada with up to 1,000 meteors an hour in what has been described as a 'meteor storm' The event will occur on the nights of 23 and 24 May, when Earth’s path crosses that of the comet, and will first be most visible from the northern US and southern Canada as well as parts of Europe. From the UK the event is not expected to be visible, although on before dawn on 24 May some meteors may still be visible. As our planet moves into the 'blizzard' of of ice and rock chunks, they will burn up in the atmosphere, providing observers below with slow moving but bright meteors. The reason we could see so many meteors is because all of the debris it has ejected between 1803 and 1924 will be in Earth’s path. ‘This potential new shower is so new that astronomers aren’t sure what to expect,’ said Jane Houston of Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. ‘Predictions run from less than 100 meteors per hour up to an unlikely but possible meteor storm as high as 1,000 per hour.’ The comet was first spotted back in February 2004, but this is the first chance encounter between it and Earth. The discovery was made by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project. It. completes an orbit of the Sun every 5.09 years, with its orbit ranging. from just inside that of Earth to almost as far as Jupiter. Following. our encounter with its tail, the comet will be as close as 5 million. miles (8.3 million kilometres) to Earth on 29 May before it makes its. way out towards Jupiter again on its orbit. The meteor storm will be visible in the night sky from the northern US and southern Canada, as well as other swathes of the Northern Hemisphere (see next picture). The best views will be towards the North Star (Polaris) above Camelopardalis, with this meteor storm being dubbed Camelopardid. However, there is still a chance the event will not be as impressive as predicted. ‘The idea of a brand new meteor shower is indeed very exciting,’ astronomer Gemma Lavender from All About Space magazine tells MailOnline. ‘The shower has been referred to as a "meteor storm", however, judging by recent calculations, the idea of a phenomena that will see 1,000 meteors per hour is in fact dwindling. ‘We’re more likely to see a strong shower rather than a storm of meteors. ‘However, of course, we won’t know it’s true strength until we head outside and observe the meteor shower for ourselves when 209P/LINEAR arrives.’ Amateur astronomers are advised to keep their eyes on the sky as Earth makes its way through the comet's tail later this month. On its first night the meteor storm will be visible in the US and Canada. As Earth rotates and moves, however, parts of Europe should also be treated to a view. As the extent of the meteor storm is unknown, your best bet is to keep an eye on reports as the event draws near. This 30 April 2014 image was taken using the Nasa Marshal Space Flight Center 20" telescope located in New Mexico. Comet 209P/LINEAR (pictured in circle) was first spotted in February 2004, but this will be its first encounter with Earth. The comet completes an orbit of the sun roughly every five years.
What are highlight points for this article? | A remarkable new meteor shower is set to take place later this month. Event will occur during the nights of 23 and 24 May in the US and Canada. The origin of the shower is Comet 209P/LINEAR, first spotted in 2004. But this will be the first time Earth has passed through its 'tail' of debris.

The Roots is an American hip hop band, formed in 1987 by Tariq "Black Thought" Trotter and Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. The Roots are known for a jazzy and eclectic approach to hip-hop featuring live musical instruments. Malik B., Leonard "Hub" Hubbard, and Josh Abrams were added to the band (formerly named "The Square Roots"). Since its first independent album-length release the band has released 10 studio albums, two EPs, two collaboration albums (with other artists), and also collaborated on recordings and in live shows with a wide variety of artists in many musical genres.
The Roots' original lineup included Tariq "Black Thought" Trotter (MC) and Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson (drums), classmates at the Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts. As they began to play at school and on local streets, they added bassist Josh "The Rubberband" Abrams, who went on to form the jazz group The Josh Abrams Quartet. They later added another MC, Malik Abdul Basit-Smart ("Malik B.") and Leonard Nelson "Hub" Hubbard (bass), and Scott Storch (keyboards). Kenyatta "Kid Crumbs" Warren (MC) was in the band for Organix, the Roots' first album release. Another MC, Dice Raw, joined the band in cameo appearances on later albums. The band filled Storch's position with Kamal Gray (keyboards), who continues in that capacity. Kamal Gray did not play with the Roots on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon between April or May and early September 2012. His absence was not publicly explained, however on the September 17, 2012 (NBC's 'Late Night' 700th) episode, Gray returned to the group. Beatboxer Rahzel was a band member from 1995 to 1999. Alongside Rahzel was turntablist/vocalist Scratch, who also DJ'd in live concerts. However Scratch left abruptly in 2003. Malik B. left the group in 1999 due to personal reasons but continued to record, making occasional cameos on some albums. Guitarist Ben Kenney, had a brief stint with the group and contributed to the Phrenology album, but left to join Incubus as bassist. Percussionist Frank Knuckles joined the lineup in 2002 and guitarist Kirk "Captain Kirk" Douglas replaced Kenney. Vocalist Martin Luther toured with the Roots in 2003 and 2004 and contributed to the Tipping Point album. The group announced in August 2007 that its longtime bassist Leonard Hubbard was leaving. Owen Biddle was the band's bassist in 2007-2011. The band announced on August 25, 2011 that Owen Biddle left the band, replaced by Mark Kelley. On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, James Poyser plays additional keyboards. Because most of the band members hail from Philadelphia and its surrounding area, they showed their support for the Phillies during the 2009 World Series against the Yankees, displaying Phillies memorabilia when performing on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. On the episode which aired the day after the Yankees clinched the title, Questlove stated "No comment!" on the show's intro (when he usually states the episode number), and had a Yankees logo purposely displayed upside-down on his drumset. In 2010, the group showed support for the Flyers during their run to the Stanley Cup Final by having the team logo on their drumset, and again in 2014 when the Flyers faced the New York Rangers in the first round of the playoffs on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. In April 2017, Frank Knuckles left the Roots due to family issues, and has not appeared on The Tonight Show since then. Later in August 2017, Knuckles sued Questlove, Black Thought and the band manager Shawn Gee over unpaid royalties. In June 2017, Questlove announced in an interview that producer and performer Stro Elliot is an official member of the Roots.

For many years, the Rose Bowl had the largest football stadium capacity in the United States, eventually being surpassed by Michigan Stadium (107,601). The Rose Bowls maximum stated seating capacity was 104,091 from 1972 to 1997. Some of the seats closest to the field were never used during this time for UCLA regular season games, and were covered by tarps. Official capacity was lowered following the 1998 Rose Bowl. Slightly different figures are given for the current capacity, for the lower level seats behind the team benches are not used for some events since the spectators can not see through the standing players or others on the field. UCLA reports the capacity at 91,136. The Tournament of Roses reports the capacity at 92,542. The 2006 Rose Bowl game, which was also the BCS championship game, had a crowd of 93,986. In the 2011 contest between TCU and Wisconsin, the listed attendance is 94,118. As of 2008, the Rose Bowl is the 11th List of American football stadiums by capacity, and is still the largest stadium that hosts post-season bowl games. For concerts held there, the Rose Bowl holds almost 60,000 people.

Cartman takes over the world on "South Park."
(CNN) -- Bill Cosby probably wasn't happy with Wednesday night's "South Park."
For that matter, neither were police officers, the Washington Redskins and mindless tweeters.
The long-running animated show's season finale, featuring a holiday special called "The Washington Redskins Go F*** Yourself Holiday Special," managed to work in the cultural and pop-cultural obsessions of 2014 in a kitchen-sink approach.
The episode ostensibly revolved around a generation gap between TV-watching "grandpas" (that is, anybody not glued to his or her own portable screen) and the hashtag-, YouTube-obsessed younger generation, typified by Kyle Broflovski's little brother, Ike -- but that was just an excuse to let loose on everyone.
For example, there was the South Park police force, which doesn't seem to know how to handle African-Americans. Upon being notified that there's a black man in the police station, the officers' first reaction is to laugh, as if it's a setup for a joke. Then they get serious.
"Did you choke him?" asks Sgt. Yates. "Did you shoot him?"
The joke was later repeated.
Kyle has a gentle hashtag, #savethelivingroom, hijacked by television executives, thanks to a visit by Cosby, who tells him about a TV special that's being put together. The special turns out to be part of a nefarious plot to get everybody across generations watching TV -- zombified by the old electronic hearth.
Few things escaped "South Park's" scorn. Iggy Azalea's buttocks spoke. A Kurt Cobain hologram sang with a shotgun. Tweets filled the bottom of the screen, some wondering the point of the episode.
And Cosby sang a version of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" with Taylor Swift, offering her a drink, a reference to the Cosby rape allegations.
In the end, as a commentating Cartman threatened to take over the world, the gang turned to Ike and his youthful friends, who sounded distinctly like the "Peanuts" crew in "A Charlie Brown Christmas." With the help of a new hashtag, #webelieveinyou, and the real-life YouTube star PewDiePie, everything was returned to normal by the end.
Few viewers, obviously aware of "South Park's" bent, took offense. In fact, many approved.
"I think we take for granted how Trey Parker can jam a heap of current issues into a storyline thats a smart and funny #SouthPark episode," wrote Brent Veale.
"I love #southpark for ripping on the police for their mistreatment of black people," tweeted Dalyxman's World.
"Oh Lorde, CartmanBrah, dead celebrity holograms, murdering cops, this #SouthPark episode is certainly making #SaveTheLivingRoom happen," added Brett Pender.

Select the correct sentiment of the following review: The Five Deadly Venoms is a great kung-fu action movie wrapped in a whodunnit mystery. There are all the usual telltale signs of a kung-fu flick: great choreography, awful dubbing, different "styles" of fighting, and a wide range of greatly exaggerated, often cheesey human emotions. However the plot certainly is better than average. It's interesting and holds your attention throughout the non-fight scenes. Occasionally it's even able to fire up the audience, such as when X character receives horrible injustice.
Another thing I love about the Five Deadly Venoms is the beautiful simplicity of the movie's morals and themes. Just about everyone gets what's coming to them. The cowardly, greedy, and corrupt lose out. The bad guys, consumed by selfish greed are ultimately destroyed by their own treachery and backstabbing. The good guys use teamwork, planning, and integrity to overcome the odds and come out on top.

Article: Incestuous matings by the purple-crowned fairy wren Malurus coronatus result in severe fitness costs due to inbreeding depression (greater than 30% reduction in hatchability of eggs). Females paired with related males may undertake extra pair matings (see Promiscuity#Other animals for 90% frequency in avian species) that can reduce the negative effects of inbreeding.

The kid was going for a quick swim. He loved to get out and hop back into the water. When he was out of the pool he liked to dance and run around. Sometimes when he got out he would sit in the chair and get some sun. He liked to work on his skin color. Just like his mommy. He would take his toys and hop in the water with them. He liked to play football in the water the most. He was taller than the other kids his age, so he could play football and not worry about the bigger kids. He could jump into the deeper section of the pool as long as he got back to where he could touch before his mom worried too much. The pool was his favorite place in the world. The boy could imagine he was doing anything. All of his problems went away. It was a very nice place for him to get his energy out and make friends for when he wasn't at the pool.

The premise of this awaited sequel was really good and after the huge success of the remake I expected a lot sincerely.
The sad truth is that this movie is really absurd and inept. The situations are dumb and beyond reason and the acting is truly awful.
This time there aren't likable characters or violins unlike the remake. Also, the gore is not that abundant and when it happens it's truly bad.
The violence is minimal and it's a shame because there are many arguments that make you think that there's room for heavy violence. I mean, there's a SWAT team that is hunting a family of cannibal mutants. You surely expect something different! When I watched it on the movies I wanted my money back.
Anyways this is a clear example of how rushed out movies turn out to be a mess and demonstrate poor quality on all aspects.
A mess that let down the fans of the remake like me. That's why sequels are never welcomed; at least this movie isn't as terrible as the 1985 sequel to the original.

Article:The former Florida governor told a conservative Christian audience: "I'm not sure we need half a billion dollars for women's health issues."
But he later said he "misspoke", after criticism of his remarks.
Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton had tweeted to him: "You are absolutely, unequivocally wrong."
Appearing on stage at the Southern Baptist Convention in Tennessee on Tuesday, Mr Bush was asked about healthcare provider Planned Parenthood, to which Republicans have been trying to cut funding.
His response was: "The next president should veto Planned Parenthood'', which drew applause.
It was then that he said "women's issues" did not need so much money as half a billion dollars.
But later, the Bush campaign team clarified his remarks with a statement from him.
"With regards to women's health funding broadly, I misspoke, as there are countless community health centres, rural clinics and other women's health organisations that need to be fully funded," it said.
It added that he was referring to the "hard-to-fathom" $500m government funding for Planned Parenthood.
The organisation at the centre of the row issued a statement saying Mr Bush "told the rest of America what Florida women have known for years, which is that he doesn't believe women's health is worth much".

(CNN) -- The last of 11 people facing felony hazing charges tied to a Florida A&M University band member's death turned herself in on Sunday, four days after prosecutors announced the charges, the state said.
Lasherry Codner, 20, was released on a $15,000 bail shortly after she was booked into Orange County jail Sunday. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement had said Friday that it had been in contact with her family in Georgia.
She joins 10 others who have reported to jails throughout Florida after being charged with felony hazing in the death of 26-year-old Robert Champion.
State law provides a prison term of up to six years for a conviction on this charge, Ninth Judicial Circuit State Attorney Lawson Lamar said last week.
The FAMU Marching 100 drum major died after collapsing on a band bus after a November 2011 football game in Orlando, Florida. He died within an hour after being badly beaten, medical examiners reported.
Two others are charged with misdemeanor hazing, which typically carries at most a year-long prison sentence.
Among those facing felony hazing charges is Aaron Golson, who was also charged in December with hazing and felony battery, after another FAMU band member, Bria Hunter, said she had suffered a cracked femur, deep bone bruise and blood clots after being beaten repeatedly on the thighs.
As to Champion's case, the victim's mother, Pam Champion, has said her family is disappointed the suspects didn't face more serious charges. She also accuses authorities of botching the investigation, saying they didn't properly process the bus for evidence and failed to immediately question students who were on board.

Seattle's economy is driven by a mix of older industrial companies, and "new economy" Internet and technology companies, service, design and clean technology companies. The city's gross metropolitan product was $231 billion in 2010, making it the 11th largest metropolitan economy in the United States. The Port of Seattle, which also operates Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, is a major gateway for trade with Asia and cruises to Alaska, and is the 8th largest port in the United States in terms of container capacity. Though it was affected by the Great Recession, Seattle has retained a comparatively strong economy, and remains a hotbed for start-up businesses, especially in green building and clean technologies: it was ranked as America's No. 1 "smarter city" based on its government policies and green economy. In February 2010, the city government committed Seattle to becoming North America's first "climate neutral" city, with a goal of reaching zero net per capita greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.

FIFA President Sepp Blatter has said that sport and politics should not mix, and criticised calls to remove the World Cup from Russia. Blatter, who was on a visit to Moscow for the unveiling of Russia's official World Cup emblem, made the comments following calls to move the 2018 tournament to a different country due to Russia's conflict with Ukraine. 'A boycott never achieves anything and does not have a positive effect. FIFA is fully supporting the World Cup in Russia,' said the 78-year-old in an interview given to ITAR-news and R-Sport. Sepp Blatter (left) talks with Vladimir Putin (right) at FIFA's World Cup emblem unveiling. Blatter insisted that football should be kept separate from politics and that the World Cup would stay in Russia. The FIFA 2018 logo for the Russian World Cup was released on Tuesday evening. The official logo was presented on the facade of the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. 'When we received letters from North America, we answered that this is football. We believe in the country (Russia) and their government. 'The mass media should help us with this. We have experienced such things in the past at the Sochi Olympics. However, during and after the (Winter) Games there was not one bad word written about the event. 'You know, Russia is in the focus of the world press. Football cannot only unite Russia, but can also show the whole world that it is stronger than any protest movement,' he said. Putin shows Blatter a model of the Luzhniki stadium, and Russia's preparations are on schedule. According to Blatter, 'a boycott never achieves anything and does not have a positive effect' Russia and Ukraine might be put into different groups at the 2018 World Cup finals if the Ukrainians qualify and relations between the two countries do not improve, FIFA said on Tuesday. However, FIFA denied a comment attributed to President Sepp Blatter, who was quoted by the R-Sport agency as saying 'you can be sure about this' in reply to a question about whether the two countries would be kept apart. 'The President did not say that they would be kept apart or that such a decision has been made. It seems (there was) a translation mistake,' said FIFA in a statement. Blatter also refused to consider scrapping the third-place playoff, despite complaints from some teams. Holland came third in Brazil after beating the hosts in what is usually considered to be a meaningless match. 'What the FIFA president actually said was that, in any qualifying campaign, the aim is always to avoid problems as was done in the past between teams where high tensions can be anticipated. 'On Ukraine/Russia situation, he said that we have to see how this evolves but, if the geopolitical situation were to remain as it is now, when it comes to the final competition then FIFA could decide that the respective teams would not be in the same group.' Blatter said he was pleased with Russia's preparations for the tournament. Blatter praised Russia for being in a better position at this stage than the previous World Cup, won by Germay. 'In comparison with Brazil's preparations for the 2014 World Cup, Russia is well ahead of them with four years to go.' He also said the third place playoff will be kept despite calls from teams to abolish it. 'We will not be getting rid of it. It's very important. If there was no third place playoff then the head of (European body) UEFA, Michel Platini, would never have taken home a bronze medal. These games are always well fought,' the Swiss said. Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

The body of Austin Bellew, 41, from Llandudno, Conwy county, was found off Hoylake, Wirral, in February.
His sister, Sandra, told the hearing officers were "dismissive" of the threat claim and did not investigate.
The inquest at Ruthin, Denbighshire, was adjourned with North Wales Police given 28 days to provide a statement.
Mr Bellew had been missing for a month when his body was found six miles off shore by a boat crew.
His sister said: "There are too many question marks about how he ended upon the sea", with the family raising concerns about an "insufficient police investigation".
Adjourning the inquest, North Wales East and Central assistant coroner Nicola Jones said: "We might not get any further and if the police did carry out an investigation, then fine."

Wood Mackenzie said tax relief on scrapping platforms and pipelines would "wipe out" the government's expected future income from the North Sea.
The figure is in line with previous industry estimates but higher than the Treasury's forecast of £16bn.
The Treasury said forecasts would differ given timing uncertainties.
The Wood Mackenzie report said: "Decommissioning is arguably the single biggest issue in the minds of those interested in UK oil and gas right now, weighing on operators, oilfield services companies, prospective asset buyers and sellers.
"There are a number of uncertainties surrounding this market, from fundamental questions such as how much will it cost, when will it happen, through to what happens if someone defaults on their liabilities.
"There are, mercifully, some certainties in the decommissioning sector. The UK has stringent regulations that set out the obligations of what needs to be removed, how to handle companies defaulting on obligations and decommissioning relief deeds which guarantee the rate of tax relief."
It added: "It is clear that no one is in a hurry to decommission and no one is rushing to pay for it.
"There is a clear mutual benefit for government and industry to achieve cost savings in decommissioning projects and extend the productive life of assets."
A Treasury spokesperson said: "The oil and gas industry has contributed £330bn in taxes since production on the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) began.
"We're committed to maximising the recovery of the UK's oil and gas while ensuring a fair return for the nation.
"We provide tax relief for the decommissioning of oil and gas infrastructure, whilst also working with industry and the OGA (Oil and Gas Authority) to reduce decommissioning costs."

Hit U.S. TV shows have many fans in China. Authorities have cracked down on file-sharing sites used to download shows. Starting April next year, regulator plans to screen all foreign TV shows.
Article: | Beijing (CNN)When it comes to access to their favorite shows, millions of Chinese fans of U.S. TV series find the plot thickening as 2014 draws to a close. In late November, many found their entertainment lifeline cut off as authorities shut down two of the country's most popular file-sharing sites -- one with countless episodes of U.S. TV series, and the other with meticulously translated Chinese subtitles for those shows. State media called the sites known copyright infringers. The sites themselves claimed to be free platforms for people who want to learn about American language and culture -- not money-making ventures. Worse still, fans quickly realized their only viable alternative -- China's legitimate video streaming sites -- may soon fall victim to the censors' tightening grip. Fleeting optimism. Almost no current U.S. TV series air on China's broadcast and cable networks. In February, viewers and critics hailed the release of hit political thriller "House of Cards" on video site Sohu at the same time it aired on Netflix in the U.S. as a sign of liberalization in China's strictly-controlled media market. Many Sohu users binge-watched all 13 episodes of the second season, which appeared uncensored despite unflattering story lines about China's ruling Communist elite. It had clocked more than 103 million views by mid-December, more than double Netflix's 50 million global subscribers. But the sense of optimism among fans quickly dissipated when in April, without warning, the government banned four popular American TV series -- including the top-rated sitcom "The Big Bang Theory" -- on all streaming sites. Officials cited violations of copyrights laws and content regulations without giving specifics, even though the shows had been purchased and allowed to stream online for several seasons. Stockpiling shows. Fans are bracing for more disappointment. China's broadcast regulator has strongly hinted from April 2015 it would only approve "healthy" content to be streamed online -- a troubling prospect for followers of such shows as zombie horror drama "The Walking Dead" and steamy period drama "Masters of Sex." What's more, online broadcasters may have to wait for a show's entire season to air in the U.S. before streaming it in China. Hardcore followers say they dread the prospect of having to wait to watch chopped versions of their beloved shows on streaming sites. Many young, urban and well-educated fans insist, given the rising government restrictions, only illicit file-sharing services offer the quick and unfettered access they crave. "I've been stockpiling shows by downloading as much as possible -- it's the only way to make me feel safe," explained Zhao Tianshu, 30, a Beijing lawyer who considers watching American legal dramas like "The Good Wife" -- one of the four shows banned in April -- on his iPad in the gym a daily highlight. "I understand copyright concerns, but the policy just seems arbitrary," said Feng Huiling, 23, a social work graduate student in the Chinese capital who breathlessly lists more than a dozen American TV shows that she regularly watches. Ideological threat? What alarms censors, fans and analysts argue, is the immense popularity of those shows -- with a new episode often attracting millions of views or downloads within hours. "The following used to be small -- but now it's gotten so huge that officials become nervous about the impact and feel compelled to do something about it," said Wu Yeni, 32, a Beijing-based corporate publicist who compares watching American TV series to getting a cup of Starbucks coffee -- another of her addictions. Jeremy Goldkorn, a leading commentator on China's media landscape, said it was surprising how American TV series posted on Chinese video sites had been allowed to proliferate with very little government interference. "They are now putting these measures in place to make sure it doesn't become an ideological threat," he said. "This helps them better micromanage the content and frighten Internet companies into complying with regulations." Even shows that manage to get into China sometimes disappear. "Madam Secretary," a new political drama that debuted this past autumn, is widely streamed online in China. Nowhere to be found, however, is its fourth episode, which features some of China's taboo subjects: the Tiananmen crackdown, the one-child policy, and a territorial dispute between China and Japan. People will wearily accept the "new normal" of rising censorship under an increasingly powerful and hardline President Xi Jinping, predicts Goldkorn. "Anybody associated with thought work or ideology or the image of China -- everything is being squeezed or tightened or limited," he said. New normal. Goldkorn also said the new rules have a commercial rationale. "They don't want people to get too hooked on foreign shows and not to watch any Chinese content." Long Danni, the president of EE-Media, a major entertainment company based in Shanghai, told CNN that the new policies help domestic TV producers like her. "We'll have plenty more high-quality original programming to conquer not just the Chinese but the global market." Fans of American TV are not so sure. For now, many try to explore technical workarounds to new government restrictions and insist that, no matter what happens, they won't watch domestic shows known for their over-the-top propaganda and low production values. "If they totally shut the door to American TV, it would be tragic," said Wu, the corporate publicist who equates her desire for U.S. shows to that for caffeine. "It would be just tragic if you couldn't even choose your own entertainment." | 8 | Flan2021 | cnn_dailymail:3.4.0 | zs_opt |

(CNN) -- This is a tale of two cities tied together by two tornadoes of the most wicked order, the apocalyptic EF-5 -- and by acts of charity that followed. It demonstrates how one good turn -- or town -- deserves another. First, the town of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, got hit by a twister on April 27, killing 41. So, like many others across the country, the residents in and around Joplin, Missouri, dispatched volunteers and relief goods to the Alabama community. Melodie Schultz of Joplin even participated in a fund-raiser. "I got involved just by seeing that they needed the help in Tuscaloosa, and a friend of mine started just a group of us: 'Joplin Helping Tuscaloosa, Alabama,' " Schultz told CNN.

We like AJs, and generally enjoy shopping in them. We were over this way and decided to stop in for a couple of items. As the three of us wandered the aisles, we were more than taken aback by some of the prices. They seemed even higher than our local AJs. It never occurred to me that different stores, had different prices. Well this led to an interesting discussion on how to rate this AJs? In terms of hard to find upscale products, or for variety, hands down all AJs are Four Stars. Particularly, if price is no object. But in the real world, where price and value do matter; they're the Needless-Markup (Neimann Marcus) of food retailers. For instance, a bottle of wine which I normally pay $18.99, was going for $24.99 here. So, Two Stars for price and value, and yes, we've experienced better. I wonder if Oakville will ever considering coming back?
