Input: Consider Input: Separate requests were made for the extradition of Cesar Duarte who governed the northern state of Chihuahua from 2010 to 2016 a source in the attorney generalâs office said on condition of anonymity.
It is not clear where Duarte is now though current Chihuahua Governor Javier Corral has repeatedly said he is in the United States.
Duarte denied accusations of wrongdoing before disappearing from public view. His whereabouts have been unclear since around the time his term finished in October 2016.
A member of the center-right opposition National Action Party (PAN) Corral was among those who called for Duarte âs extradition.

Input: Consider Input: But that bipartisan spirit was tested Thursday as Republican Chair Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and ranking Democrat Maria Cantwell (Wash.) clashed over whether to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling.
With the tax package on center stage in the House the senators sparred on the other side of the Capitol over whether to allow drilling on one of few undisturbed parcels of land in the United States. The sparring foreshadows the partisan rifts that are likely to divide the upper chamber over paying for a tax package that Republicans need to claim as an accomplishment.
âFor those of us who call Alaska home to suggest that we would despoil our environment for short-term gain is offensive â Murkowski said.
The committee meeting turned tense at times with Cantwell pressing her Republican counterpart about why the bipartisan energy bill has been abandoned to take up the ANWR question yet again.
âThis hearing is a great departure from the strong working relationship that Sen. Murkowski and I have set to work together on an energy agenda that will move our country forward â Cantwell said.
âI almost want to call this âcaribou for millionairesâ because it is the most ridiculous idea Iâve heard as it relates to meeting the tax reform agenda â she added.
Cantwell and Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) countered that that figure discounts the impact of roads airports and pipelines necessary to bring the oil out of the refuge and to the stateâs primary petroleum artery the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System.
At one point Cantwell held up a map showing she said that drilling âwill take up a significant portion of the refuge.â

In a letter posted on the White House web site Tuesday John Brennan assistant to President Barack Obama for homeland security and counterterrorism said Schmidt will have regular access to the president and play a vital role in the country's security.
Schmidt's selection comes more than 10 months after Obama declared cyber security a priority and ordered a broad administration review.
A senior White House official said Obama was personally involved in the selection process and chose Schmidt because of his unique background and skills. Schmidt will have regular and direct access to the president for cyber security issues the official said. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the selection process.
At the same time cyber experts and potential job candidates have complained that the position lacks the budgetary and policy-making authority needed to be successful. Schmidt will report to the National Security Council and closely support the National Economic Council on cyber issues.
Schmidt's selection suggests that economic and business interests in the White House held more sway in the selection process. Schmidt president and CEO of the Information Security Forum a nonprofit international consortium that conducts research in information security has served as chief security officer for Microsoft and as cyber security chief for online auction giant eBay. He was reportedly preferred by Lawrence Summers director of the economic council.

New input: A secretive British police investigation focusing on journalists who have worked with Edward Snowden’s leaked documents is still active more than four years after it was launched The Intercept has learned.
The disclosure that the probe remains active prompted criticism on Monday from the National Union of Journalists the U.K.’s largest journalists’ organization. Sarah Kavanagh a spokesperson for the group said that news reports based on the Snowden documents had exposed unlawful covert surveillance activities in the public interest.
“The media are often the only group in society able to reveal the intelligence and security forces have exceeded their legitimate powers and remit ” Kavanagh said. “The Met Police should be condemned for keeping journalists under investigation because they worked on the Snowden leaks. The investigation should be halted immediately. Journalism is not a crime.”
The origins of the investigation can be traced back to May 2013 when Snowden a National Security Agency contractor turned over a cache of classified documents about government surveillance to journalists including Intercept co-founder Glenn Greenwald who was at that time working for British news organization The Guardian. Among the documents were details about mass surveillance programs operated by the U.K.’s largest spy agency Government Communications Headquarters or GCHQ.
In August 2013 detectives from the Metropolitan Police used a counterterrorism law to detain and interrogate David Miranda Greenwald’s partner while he was passing through London’s largest airport. Miranda was carrying a batch of encrypted Snowden documents to aid Greenwald’s reporting on the files. The police seized Miranda’s possessions – including a mobile phone laptop camera and flash drives – and began a criminal investigation.
British authorities argued that publishing the Snowden files was itself a terrorist act thereby explicitly conflating journalism with terrorism. Prior to Miranda’s arrival in London a memo authored by the Metropolitan Police and domestic spy agency MI5 was circulated to U.K. border entry points. It asserted that “the disclosure [of the Snowden documents] or threat of disclosure is designed to influence a government and is made for the purpose of promoting a political or ideological cause. This therefore falls within the definition of terrorism.”

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela âs President Nicolas Maduro railed at two of his main international critics on Wednesday chiding Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy for âmeddlingâ and mocking U.S. President Donald Trump for geographical ignorance.
The United States has recently imposed sanctions on Venezuelan officials and Spain is pressing for the European Union to follow suit as international pressure grows on Maduro over his record on human rights and democracy.
âWhy is the global right wing so obsessed with our homeland?â leftist Maduro responded in an address on state TV.
Lampooning âlittle Marianoâ for mispronouncing his name âMaderoâ Maduro said the conservative leader should focus instead on Spainâs internal problems Cataloniaâs independence push and Europeâs problematic relations with Washington.
âForget talking about Venezuela which is a homeland of dignity â Maduro said. âI reject and repudiate Mariano Rajoyâs meddling rude absurd comments against Venezuela.â
Maduro faces global criticism that he has turned Venezuela into a dictatorship with the creation of an all-powerful Constituent Assembly jailing of political opponents and quashing of protests this year in which 125 people died.
Having in recent days labeled Trump a âHitlerâ and âimperial emperorâ supporting violent coup-plotters in Venezuela Maduro took aim this time at the Republicanâs intellect.

Maduro repeatedly calls opposition leaders pawns of the United States intent on toppling him by force. He says the Constituent Assembly elected in August in a vote boycotted by the opposition and condemned by various foreign powers has brought peace to the nation of 30 million.

Evertonâs Ronald Koeman became the third managerial casualty of the Premier League season on Monday and Bilic is at risk of suffering the same fate if he does not turn things around after last Fridayâs 3-0 home loss to Brighton and Hove Albion.
West Ham are 16th in the table with eight points from nine games but Bilic said he would not walk away from the challenge.
âYou ask me about Koeman there are always three four five managers in those positions and Iâm definitely one of them â Bilic said ahead of the League Cup fourth round clash at Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday.
British media reports said West Hamâs owners have given Bilic the next two games to turn things around and save his job but the 49-year-old is not worried.

Now, solve this instance: Inspired by a visit to China South Africa's Transport Minister Sibusiso Ndebele is championing the construction of a multibillion-rand high-speed rail link between the coastal city of Durban and the commercial hub Johannesburg.
Addressing the media in Cape Town on Tuesday Ndebele said his interest in a high-speed rail link was heightened by a recent visit to China which was busy constructing a high-speed rail link between Shanghai and Beijing.
This led him to the idea about South Africa's national transport master plan until 2050.
Speaking before his budget vote speech in the South African parliament on Tuesday Ndebele said that details of the ambitious project were being finalized and he would ask the South African cabinet in this financial year to approve a feasibility study.
Ndebele said the high-speed rail link between Durban and Johannesburg would cut transport times from about 12 to three hours.
Speaking before his budget vote speech in the South African parliament on Tuesday Ndebele said that details of the ambitious project were being finalized and he would ask the South African cabinet in this financial year to approve a feasibility study.
Ndebele said a fast link between Durban and Johannesburg would encourage the move from road to rail on what was the country's busiest most congested route.
The project would catapult South Africa's rail system into the modern age of hi- tech transport which Ndebele said was the most efficient mass mover of people.
Ndebele has proposed a road infrastructure maintenance fund which would require provincial and local governments to dedicate a certain percentage of their budgets to maintenance which was usually sacrificed when budgets came under pressure.
"The current state of our road infrastructure particularly in provinces and municipalities is reflective of lack of sustained investment in maintenance over many years " Ndebele said.
"We will develop a ring-fencing mechanism which will set aside funds earmarked for maintenance. A passenger rail investment plan will ramp up investment in rail infrastructure and rolling stock."

If you have a pulse and own a stock you probably have seen Peter Tuchmanâs face. But a household name he ainât.
Tuchman âs histrionics play out on the stage of the New York Stock Exchange where the 60-year-old trader â âIâve been 55 for five yearsâ â is known as the most photographed person at the NYSE.
Tuchman is the money setâs Rorschach test. His facial expressions mirror the aspirations and disappointments of investors the world over: Anguish. Anticipation. Desperation. Triumph.
You can spot him on CNBC roaming around in the background the white-haired blue-jacketed trader personal computer in hand. He is all over the Internet and news sites as the background prop to a thousand stock market stories.

Meet the one guy whoâs happy about the wild swings in the stock market
Mr. Myatt used his knack for forgery and knowledge of art history to produce fake after fake more than 200 in all. Fake Giacomettis. Fake Paul Klees. Fake Chagalls. Some sold for well over $150 000. (Only 80 or so have been recovered by the police; the rest are still at large although Mr. Myatt said he did not know where.) But while he provided the art it was the smooth-talking Mr. Drewe who drove the operation cooking up the ersatz provenances and handling the sales. In 1999 Mr. Drewe was sentenced to six years in prison. Mr. Myatt who pleaded guilty to fraud and testified for the prosecution served 4 months of a 12-month sentence.
He makes an unlikely ex-convict.
He is so well regarded in this Staffordshire community where he is the organist and choir director at the local church that when he was in jail his neighbors banded together and refurbished his kitchen. Visitors to a recent London exhibit of his work -- new works in the style of famous artists with the words "Genuine Fake" written in indelible ink on the back -- included the foreman of the jury that convicted him ; his defense lawyer; and Jonathan Searle the Scotland Yard detective who arrested him and who when Mr. Myatt got out of prison commissioned a portrait from him (as did a prosecutor in the case).
Mr. Myatt now gives lectures on art forgery alongside officers from Scotland Yard. At his London exhibit he sold everything he displayed -- 68 fake Miros Picassos Giacomettis and the like -- at prices from $875 to more than $8 000. (The cheapest picture was a Myatt original titled "Ceci N'est Pas Une Magritte.") Besides the Van Gogh Mr. Myatt's house is chock-full of other fake great works -- Matisses Ben Nicholsons Braques. His studio is filled with half-finished Monets. Now 60 trim with thinning gray hair and a very dry sense of humor he talks forthrightly but with a residue of shellshock about his life of crime.
AFTER studying art in college Mr. Myatt discovered his talent for forgery when oddly enough he was working as a songwriter in the 1970's. ( His song "Silly Games" hit No. 1 on the British charts but that is another story.) His boss mentioned that he wanted to buy some Raoul Dufy paintings then worth more than $100 000 each.
But he didn't need to. "I painted a couple of Dufys for him " Mr. Myatt said. His boss paid £250 apiece slapped them in £600-pound frames and hung them up. "We all thought it was very funny " Mr. Myatt said.
The get-solvent-quick potential of the enterprise appealed to him later when he was broke and wondering how to raise two children under the age of 3. He placed an advertisement in the satirical magazine Private Eye offering legal forgeries for £250.
Everything was above board at first. Someone commissioned Mr. Myatt to paint his father a retired navy commander in the style of Joshua Reynolds. "We took a painting of some fabulous old guy gazing out with lots of medals and just changed the face " Mr. Myatt said. " He thought it was brilliant."
Then Mr. Drewe called identifying himself as a physics professor who wanted to dazzle his girlfriend with his new art collection. Mr. Myatt painted more than a dozen pictures for him at £250 each. The enterprise crossed into illegality when Mr. Myatt painted the fake Albert Gleizes that Mr. Drewe without a word to Mr. Myatt passed off to Christie's as a family heirloom. From then on Mr. Myatt supplied the pictures and Mr. Drewe did everything else. He tipped cups of black coffee on the works to make them look old. He put them in period frames. He concocted false provenances and false explanations for how he came to have them.
Mr. Myatt stayed willfully ignorant unquestioningly accepting whatever Mr. Drewe paid him .
Meanwhile Mr. Drewe was getting weirder and weirder Mr. Myatt said spinning stories about the royal family and Mossad. "And I thought this is the stupidest thing I've ever done." Having made about £90 000 in all ( Mr. Drewe made about £1.5 million prosecutors said) he told Mr. Drewe he had had enough.
Scotland Yard came calling a year later as part of its larger investigation into Mr. Drewe whose by then ex-girlfriend had turned him in.
MR. MYATT passed his jail time drawing portraits of inmates and guards. When he got out he married his second wife Rosemary who sings with him in the church choir and runs the increasingly successful Genuine Fakes business. Michael Douglas has bought the rights to his story.
Until then there is a new wrinkle to contend with he said: an unidentified forger who has been selling fake Myatts.

New input case for you: This capital city was on the brink of collapse when Yuri M. Luzhkov became mayor in 1992 with food shortages trash-strewn streets and rampant crime. Cigarettes one of the few luxuries available to the masses in the Soviet era were in such short supply that Muscovites blockaded the city's main thoroughfares in protest.
Eighteen years later as Luzhkov steps down after being fired Tuesday by Russia's president Dmitry A. Medvedev he is leaving behind a humming metropolis of skyscrapers luxury boutiques and traffic jams. Opponents also describe a legacy of corruption and nepotism that has left the mayor and his circle exceedingly rich -- and possibly disgraced.
Not a word has been heard yet from Luzhkov whose motorcade sped out of city hall shortly after the news was delivered. Even after a blistering smear campaign in the Kremlin-controlled media in recent weeks Luzhkov had been defiant vowing as late as Monday to hang on to power. It was clear he was not yet ready to speak of his legacy.
But those who have followed the long arc of the mayor's career and who took stock of his tenure Tuesday spoke of two Luzhkovs.
They described the mayor of recent years who ran Moscow like a personal fief crushing opponents while surrounding himself with a small team of allies who enriched themselves through their control of the city's main avenues of commerce. Under his leadership his wife Yelena Baturina a billionaire real estate developer responsible for many of the new high-rise buildings in Moscow became Russia's richest woman.
But those who knew Luzhkov from his earliest days as mayor also recall a tireless crisis manager who largely through the blunt force of his will pulled this city through the chaos of the Soviet collapse.
"Frankly speaking he simply saved Moscow in 1992-93 when there was a total deficit of everything " said Sergei B. Stankevich a political analyst who worked with Luzhkov in the city government in those early years.

Jay Sekulow chief counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice introduces Republican presidential candidate and former Florida governor Jeb Bush during a presidential candidate forum at Regent University in Virginia Beach on Oct. 23 2015. (AP Photo/Steve Helber)
Jay Sekulow a member of the legal team counseling Trump on special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's wide-ranging Russia probe said Tuesday that a second special counsel should be appointed to focus on FBI and Justice Department investigators.
Sekulow 's call for a second special counsel was first reported Tuesday morning by Axios.
Sekulow did not allege wrongdoing on the part of Mueller or his team telling The Washington Post that his call for a second special counsel has ânothing to do with Bob Mueller.â
But Sekulow argued that alleged conflicts of interest among FBI and Justice Department officials demand a full investigation by a special counsel. He singled out a Fox News report last week that Bruce G. Ohr a senior Justice Department official was demoted amid an investigation of his contacts with Fusion GPS the opposition research firm that commissioned a salacious dossier documenting Trump's ties to Russia.
âThis is the kind of situation that in my view warrants a special counsel â Sekulow said.
Asked whether he was speaking on Trump's behalf or whether the president agrees with having a second special counsel Sekulow would not answer. He said he does not speak publicly about his conversations with the president.

Clinton said the session in Geneva "was a worthwhile meeting " as the Iranians had agreed to inspections of all nuclear sites to ship low-enriched uranium abroad for processing and to another round of talks later this month.
"But as the president has said and I and others have also made clear this is not by any means a stopping point. There is much more to be done. We expect much more " Clinton told CNN in a joint interview with Gates.

She added that "on balance what came out of the meeting in Geneva was positive."
Asked if the Iranians were committed to resolving the dispute over their nuclear program Clinton said: "We don't know yet. We don't know."
Clinton in an interview taped before an audience at George Washington University said a team of technical experts would meet later this month "to see how to put into action what we certainly believed was an agreement in principle."
She added: "nothing is finished until it's finished."
Clinton said the progress at the Geneva talks had bought time to assess Iran's actions and that while engaging with Tehran the administration was working with other world powers to prepare punitive sanctions in case negotiations failed.

Trump himself labeled the media-generated hubbub a political âgift.â Bradford Richardson of the Washington Times reported âPresident Trump continued his feud with Rep. Frederica S. Wilson in a tweet on Sunday calling the Florida Democrat the âgift that keeps on givingâ for the Republican Party...
â[Trump tweeted:] â Wacky Congresswoman Wilson is the gift that keeps on giving for the Republican Party a disaster for Dems. You watch her in action & vote R!â
âIn a tweet the previous day Mr. Trump encouraged the media to focus on Mrs. Wilson .
â[Trump tweeted:] âI hope the Fake News Media keeps talking about Wacky Congresswoman Wilson in that she as a representative is killing the Democrat Party!ââ
Trump is right; there would be nothing better for Republicans than to make Frederica Wilson the face of the Democrats. There is scarcely a more shining example of the utter intellectual bankruptcy of the party than the Florida congresswoman but the same could be said of most Democrats including of course Nancy Pelosi Maxine Waters Adam Schiff or Senators Chuck Schumer Elizabeth Warren or Al Franken.
By adding Wilson âs name to the more well-known troupe not only do you glimpse a bad comedy act that isnât funny you now have an elected official who dresses up for Halloween every day of the year and doesnât even realize it. Wilsonâs stood out since the beginning of her tenure in Congress having been one of the first to suggest the 2012 killing of Trayvon Martin was due to racism (the facts be damned!).
Similarly Wilson labeled General Kellyâs âempty barrelâ description of her as a âracist term.â Wilson âs become the standard-bearer for everything thatâs wrong with the Democrat party today a substance-less privilege abusing politician whoâs crawled her way to the top of local politics and is now entrenched in Congress for as long as she chooses to stay because thereâs no organized partisan opposition in her district.
In other words Wilson is the poster-child for term-limits.
Charles Hurt of the Washington Times described her best. Hurt wrote â Congresswoman Wilson is living proof that literally anyone â no matter how stupid â can get elected to Congress. And the fact that there is actually a party in American politics that would allow someone so dumb in their caucus only proves how unseriously Democrats take themselves and how much contempt party leaders have for innocent American voters.
â Congresswoman Wilson has long been known for pretty much only one thing: the ridiculous colorful feathered and sequined cowboy hats she sports around the halls of Congress. Otherwise she is ignored because of her stultifying ignoranceâ¦
âFor the good of humanity â not to mention the notion of self-governance in America â this woman must be removed from public office.â
No doubt humanity would benefit from such an occurrence but I have to say I agree with Trump â instead of being rid of a dolt like Wilson itâs much better for the Republican Partyâs cause to keep her around; and the more she talks the more enriched conservatives will be.
As amply noted the Republican Party has massive issues of its own; the entrenched GOP establishment will take years to vanquish and the #NeverTrump âconservativesâ have dug themselves a very deep hole from which they cannot emerge without losing face within their own circles. But âclownsâ like Rep. Frederica Wilson make a mockery of the entire Democrat Party â a circumstance that will only worsen with every absurd word she utters.

Question: Andrew Conley showed no remorse or emotion as he described choking to death Conner Conley as the two wrestled Sunday a probable cause affidavit said. He told investigators the child's last words were "Andrew stop."
Conley said he dragged his brother's body to his car before driving to see his girlfriend who told investigators the teen "seemed happy more happy than she had seen him in a while " according to the affidavit. Conley said he dumped the body near a park in his town of Rising Sun about 90 miles (145 kilometers) southeast of Indianapolis.
Prosecutors filed preliminary charges of murder against Conley along with a supporting affidavit Thursday. He is being charged as an adult and will appear Friday in court Negangard said.
Conley's family did not return messages for comment Thursday. Negangard said Conley had an attorney but none was listed in the affidavit.
The teen told investigators he had had fantasies about killing someone since he was in eighth grade including cutting somebody's throat and felt "just like" the serial killer Dexter on the Showtime television series of the same name.
Negangard said he will consider seeking the maximum prison term of life without parole. Conley's age makes him ineligible for the death penalty.
The teen had no juvenile record and his teachers considered him a good student Negangard said.

Question: The navy said that a Russian warship the Admiral Gorshkov passed close to British territorial waters Saturday and that the St. Albans frigate was dispatched to escort it as it passed through the North Sea. It released several grainy photographs of the two ships sailing closely to each other in what appeared to be choppy waters.
Because the Admiral Gorshkov is still in sea trials it probably does not yet pose a military threat said Michael Kofman an expert on the Russian military at the Center for Naval Analyses.
The Gorshkov is a prime example both of the strength of the Russian naval rearmament and of its shortfalls. NATO leaders have said that Russian naval activity is at levels unseen since the end of the Cold War the payoff of a modernization and investment program that started shortly after Russiaâs incursion into Georgia in 2008.
But progress has been hampered by shoddy construction and technical difficulties. The Gorshkov is the long-awaited flagship of a new class of stealth missile frigate. Originally scheduled to enter service in 2013 shipbuilders said Monday it was still undergoing tests 11 years after construction started.
âUnfortunately no chances have been left to raise the flag aboard the Gorshkov this year â the president of the United Shipbuilding Corp. Alexei Rakhmanov told the TASS newswire agency on Monday. He said the shipâs advanced technology was still undergoing evaluations and that once they were done it would skip a further testing period and enter military service immediately. The accelerated schedule is a possible sign of pressures following years of delays.

Question: The financial services sector which accounts for about 12 percent of Britainâs economic output and pays more tax than any other industry potentially has a lot to lose from the end of unfettered access to the EUâs post-Brexit market of 440 million people.
But it is particularly vulnerable to a Brexit shock because about a third of the transactions which take place on its exchanges and in its trading rooms involve clients in the EU.
This has led some politicians and economists to predict London will lose its pre-eminence as a financial center after Brexit although supporters of leaving the EU say Britain will benefit over the long term by being able to set its own rules.
According to Savills commercial property prices in the City of London have dropped more since the Brexit vote in June 2016 than at any point since 2009 the last year of the global financial crisis.
So far Brexit seems to be having no impact here. The number of venues such as bars and restaurants applying for new licenses to sell alcohol in the City of London in the first eight months of 2017 is at a record high data from the municipal local authority that runs the district shows.
âBusinesses are naturally hesitant to plan and execute growth hires due to the uncertainty around Brexit â said Hakan Enver a director at Morgan McKinley.
The findings suggest that the first wave of job losses from Brexit may be at the lower end of estimates by industry lobby groups and firms which could mean London will keep its place as the continentâs top finance center at least in the short term.

Problem: Two attorneys representing key Donald Trump associates say they consider it possible that special counsel Robert Mueller could end up indicting the president for obstruction of justice Politico is reporting.
Neither attorney claimed to have inside information about Mueller 's plans and based their comments on their understanding of the law according to Politico.
But the website noted many legal experts maintain Mueller lacks the standing to bring charges against Trump.
Still one of the lawyers who represents a senior Trump official said Mueller could try to indict the president even if the move brings challenges from Trump's attorneys.
"It's entirely possible that Mueller may go that route on the theory that as an open question it should be for the courts to decide " the attorney said. "Even if the indictment is dismissed it puts maximum pressure on Congress to treat this with the independence and intellectual honesty that it will never ever get."
And one legal expert maintained Mueller will never indict the president.
" Mueller will not indict Trump for obstruction of justice or for any crime. Period. Full stop. End of story. Speculations to the contrary are just fantasy.

Now, solve this: Speculation has persisted that Koike a former LDP member and defense minister would resign to run for a seat in parliament needed to make a bid for the premiership.
“I have been saying I will not run for the election from the beginning ” Koike said in an interview with the Yomiuri newspaper reported on Tuesday.
If Koike does not personally contest this election then analysts believe she would hope her party positions itself to win the next national poll and that she gains a voter boost from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
But Koike ’s new Party of Hope - launched just last week as a “reformist conservative” alternative to Abe’s equally conservative LDP - has clouded the outlook amid signs voters are disillusioned with Abe after nearly five years in power.
Koike ’s dilemma was whether to run for a seat now and face a backlash from voters for quitting as governor little more than a year since she defied the LDP to run successfully for the post or risk letting a shot at the top job slip through her fingers.
“ Koike is tough she ’s resilient and she can tap into the fact that Abe’s negative ratings are pretty high and a lot of people out there are unhappy with him ” Kingston said.

Image caption Chisako Kakehi is said to be suffering from dementia
Chisako Kakehi is accused of using cyanide to kill her lovers and make millions from insurance payouts. Her lawyers plan to appeal the sentence.
Prosecutors said she targeted wealthy men who were mostly elderly or sick.
She became known in Japanese media as the Black Widow after the female spider which kills its mates after sex.
Kyoto District Court ruled that Chisako Kakehi used cyanide "with a murderous intention" in the four cases and that she should be held responsible for the crimes even though she had been diagnosed with dementia.
Kakehi who was wearing a hearing aid and asked the judge to speak loudly during the proceedings showed no emotion when the sentence was handed down.
Ms Kakehi was accused of murdering her fourth husband 75-year-old Isao Kakehi on 28 December 2013 a month after they got married.
She was also accused of killing two other boyfriends aged between 70 and 80 and the attempted murder and robbery of another boyfriend - who later died of cancer - between 2007 and 2013.
The trial heard that she had joined matchmaking services in which she had specifically requested to meet men who were rich and childless.
She reportedly inherited around one billion yen ($8.8 million) in all although she later lost some of it through the stock market.
During the 135 day trial Kakehi appeared to admit killing Isao Kakehi saying he had not treated her well financially but later retracted it.
Her lawyers said at the time that her testimony could not be trusted because of her dementia. They have appealed against the death sentence to a higher court arguing that her dementia means she cannot be held criminally liable.

Mrs May was applauded by other leaders at dinner in Brussels on Thursday night after she made a speech about Brexit.
But the round of applause during Thursday's dinner suggests the process is more or less on track - and indicates a degree of support in Europe for Mrs May says the BBC's Europe correspondent Kevin Connolly.
During the dinner with the 27 other EU leaders Mrs May urged them to approve an agreement to move Brexit talks on to a second phase.
In a brief speech she stressed her keenness to get on with shaping a "deep and special" future partnership as quickly as possible leaving no doubt that she believes she was "on course to deliver Brexit".
She said she made "no secret" of wanting to move on to the next phase and to approaching it with "ambition and creativity".
"A particular priority should be agreement on the implementation period so that we can bring greater certainty to businesses in the UK and across the 27 " she said.
In applauding Mrs May Mr Juncker said her EU colleagues "felt that she did make a big effort and this has to be recognised" while Austrian Chancellor Christian Kern said he appreciated " her efforts and engagement".
Mrs May has said the Brexit process is still "on course" despite her defeat in a Parliamentary vote on Wednesday night.
Speaking in Brussels Mrs May said she was "disappointed" at the vote on the EU Withdrawal Bill but the legislation was making "good progress".
Meanwhile Mrs May is facing a further challenge next week when MPs vote on a government amendment to enshrine the Brexit date of 29 March 2019 in law.
The BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg said there was no sign so far that Mrs May was going to budge on the issue but further compromises could be "forced on her ".

Problem: In her witty new book Australian technology author and TED celebrity Rachel Botsman tells us why it did not work. Who Can You Trust? How Technology Brought Us Together and Why It Could Drive Us Apart might be a bit too perky for some but it reveals some deep truths.
With industrial power collapsed social media’s “distributed trust” began its run to win popular trust. Botsman even claims to have predicted the next stage of evolution anticipating Airbnb Zipcar and Uber in her previous book. At first the masses took to social technology like ducks to water but few thought through the costs of power flowing from institutional experts to less sophisticated individuals. It turned out that these social media had institutions too if less hierarchical but still leading to someone at the top with a great degree of control over the people’s “open” media below them.
Botsman says she would not have written her book if she did not think distributed networks could solve many problems and develop popular trust but the many examples presented in her book demonstrate that “distributed trust always seem to lead us back to centralized power ” with Facebook Amazon and Alibaba leading the list.
Her thesis is that distributed systems need to know who is telling the truth in order to be social but their media technology develop so fast and anonymously it becomes difficult to trace accountability. Perhaps 75 percent of automobiles will self-drive by 2040. How can sufficient trust develop in such a major activity in such a short time? Blockchains like Bitcoin may replace governmental currency and financial transactions. Robots threaten to take everyone’s job. The most famous bot was HAL 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey and we all know what happened then. Some “trust pause” will certainly be necessary for such major social transitions.
Take the number one social media technology guy Mark Zuckerberg who created Facebook to be an open forum for public discussion. Yet after social media was accused of biasing the presidential election even he had to reluctantly concede (the second time) that there was an abundance of fake news on his site which he then promised to fix in a socially positive way. His solution was to balance alternative views by adding “additional perspectives ” including noting after doubtful material that fact checkers disputed the claims in the original published news. But who would do the “fact checking”?
Botsman does not mention it but Google’s top scientist Ray Kurzweil had bigger ideas. Computers would be thinking for themselves by 2014 with humans becoming immortal soon after. Humans would become immortal under Kurzweil’s Calico project to replicate nature’s control of mitochondrial DNA by moving toxic bacteria into the cell nucleus to stop aging. With age under control people would live forever. At the same time artificial intelligence would develop computers that learn by themselves. Ageless individuals could then link an AI machine to their brain so they could give accurate and immediate responses to every kind of question. But if this takes place instantly is that a person still a person or a computer?
China’s Social Credit System would produce a “social credit score” for every Chinese citizen and introduce national networks of shame to ameliorate and control unruly segments of the population. This system should have a bullish future in much of the world now under authoritarian governments. Botsman quips: “Today China tomorrow a place near you.”
Not a place in the U.S. with its democratic government protecting privacy right? One big obstacle to such protection mentioned by Botsman is that government regulation simply cannot keep up with the explosive rate of change in private social media technology. There is that free speech and press stuff but Congress just approved another renewal of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act seventeen years after 9/11 and few doubt that some similar future horrendous terrorist act would make the government’s surveillance even more intrusive.
Botsman ’s general solution to increase social trust is to rely upon reputation which is sound but extremely difficult to evaluate as her book proves.
How do we even know if Botsman isn’t a bot already predicting China for us all?

Fish who is well over 6 feet tall approached Kitman from behind put his hands around her neck and applied pressure according to four people with knowledge of the incident.
One person said Fish meant it as a joke but took it too far. He left red marks on Kitman âs neck the four sources said. Shaken by the encounter Kitman tried to downplay it .
Board member Victor Navasky and The Nation Instituteâs lawyer at the time were briefed the following day about the incident. They told Fish to apologize and Kitman didnât want to take things further.
In an email to HuffPost Fish said: âThe incident with Taya Kitman did not happen as described. Taya has been a friend and colleague of nearly 20 years I have the utmost regard for her and the work she had done at the institute. We were partners in building the organization and we continue to collaborate on projects that we created together. I know it sounds self-serving but anyone who knows me knows I would never harm a woman or another person.â
Kitman declined to comment.
Reached by phone last week Navasky praised Fish and insisted he didnât know anything about the alleged physical altercation between Fish and Kitman . âI donât know what youâre talking about so thereâs nothing to deny or not deny â he told HuffPost on Friday. âThe Nation Institute is a private thing and the trustees arenât supposed to talk about anything that happened there and Iâm obeying their rules. But Iâm just telling you that Hamilton was a great partner for me. Period.â
Kitman is now executive director of the institute.
âI know that Taya recognized that Ham was a problem and did everything she could to get him out of there â Berman said. âThings have been much better since Taya took over. Sheâs respected by the staff. Sheâs respected by the fellows. Sheâs respected by the donors. Sheâs very hardworking. Taya is literally the exact opposite of Ham and I mean that in the best way possible about her.â
Berman added: âWhen Taya took over the office became a lot more functional and pleasant to be in.â
After this story was first published Taya Kitman released the following statement:

PROBLEM: âDespite the government shutdown (the department) determined the operational necessity of television and radio broadcasts constitutes them as essential activities â chief Defense Department spokeswoman Dana White said. âWe will continue to find solutions to support our troops at home and abroad.â
Her announcement followed outcry about overseas U.S. service members not being able to see the two games Sunday afternoon particularly since officials have said military personnel wonât get paid during the furlough which started overnight Friday.
White described some legal and manpower maneuvering to get the games on air. She said two of the eight Armed Forces Network channels -- news and sports -- will remain on despite the network being run by civilians who have been furloughed in the shutdown.
âWith minimal manning we can keep the sports channel up without incurring any additional cost or manpower-complying with shutdown guidance " White said in a statement. âThanks to uniform leadership at AFN our comptroller and legal team.â
She said the news channel remains on because the contract has already been paid and the sports channel was turned on because âit doesn't cost any more money or manpower to manage a second channel.â
Still White had some sharp words for Congress whose failure to pass a temporary spending resulted in the shutdown.
âThe shutdown requires us to do a lot of tedious work â she said. âCongress needs to pass a budget.â

In a letter posted on the White House web site Tuesday John Brennan assistant to President Barack Obama for homeland security and counterterrorism said Schmidt will have regular access to the president and play a vital role in the country's security.
Schmidt's selection comes more than 10 months after Obama declared cyber security a priority and ordered a broad administration review.
A senior White House official said Obama was personally involved in the selection process and chose Schmidt because of his unique background and skills. Schmidt will have regular and direct access to the president for cyber security issues the official said. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the selection process.
At the same time cyber experts and potential job candidates have complained that the position lacks the budgetary and policy-making authority needed to be successful. Schmidt will report to the National Security Council and closely support the National Economic Council on cyber issues.
Schmidt's selection suggests that economic and business interests in the White House held more sway in the selection process. Schmidt president and CEO of the Information Security Forum a nonprofit international consortium that conducts research in information security has served as chief security officer for Microsoft and as cyber security chief for online auction giant eBay. He was reportedly preferred by Lawrence Summers director of the economic council.
Solution: White House picks new cyber coordinator

New input: Eminem "Revival" (Interscope)
The A-List collaborators on Eminem 's new album scream "I want a radio hit " with Beyonce Ed Sheeran Pink and Alicia Keys co-starring on the songs.
It wouldn't be hard to believe especially since Eminem 's last major hits have relied heavily on Rihanna from "Love the Way You Lie" to "The Monster." But thankfully on " Revival " Eminem returns as the star of his show.
Beyonce sounds beautiful on opener "Walk On Water " but Em's words are even better as he delivers honest lyrics that sound and feel true to him .
"Every album song I was spazzin' the (eff) out on/And now I'm gettin' clowned and frowned on " he raps.
Eminem is no longer hip-hop's most prized wordsmith and the adjustment is tough for any performer once known as one of music's most celebrated acts.
But on "Revival " his ninth studio album Eminem makes himself relevant with his smart rhymes which is refreshing in the age of "mumble rap." The album artwork is of the American flag with race and President Donald Trump recurring topics throughout the 19 tracks.
"So hands in the air let's hear it for the start of a brand new America without him and be proud of where we're from " Eminem raps on "Like Home " featuring a stellar-sounding Keys.
Eminem co-produced some of the songs also getting help from Rick Rubin Dr. Dre Alex Da Kid Mr. Porter and Skylar Grey the singer songwriter and originator of "Love the Way You Lie."

Question: Scott Lloyd and other Trump-Pence administration officials are willing to put women's health lives and rights at risk to further their own extreme agendas. This ends now. [Link] pic.twitter.com/81evfdwg3F â Planned Parenthood (@PPact) December 22 2017
In declining to authorize the illegal immigrantâs abortion ORR director Scott Lloyd wrote in a memo âI disagree â with the notion that declining to help a woman who became pregnant as a result of rape to obtain an abortion is âa form of violence against the mother.â
âThis memo makes clear that Scott Lloyd should immediately be removed from his position as director of ORR â said Dana Singiser Vice President of Public Policy and Government Affairs of Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA). âHe is unfit to serve in government. Lloyd is imposing his personal beliefs on the young women in his agencyâs careâto control their bodies and violate their constitutional rights. His overreach and abuse of power puts these young womenâs lives in danger.â
Scott Lloyd may think that undocumented women are not entitled to basic rights or control over their own bodies but they deserve support and justice. Scott Lloyd must go: [Link] #JusticeForJane pic.twitter.com/wvGjMzl559 â Planned Parenthood (@PPact) December 24 2017
Planned Parenthood is urging its supporters to send letters to their members of Congress demanding that Lloyd be fired.
â Scott Lloyd and other Trump-Pence administration officials are willing to put womenâs health lives and rights at risk to further their own extreme agendas â states the abortion provider adding:
Scott Lloyd may think that as undocumented immigrants these women are not entitled to basic rights or control over their own bodies but these women deserve support and justice. This is unconstitutional and unacceptable. Itâs time for Scott Lloyd to go.

Scott Lloyd director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement knew that Jane Poe was pregnant as a result of rape and that her mind was made up about wanting an abortion. He still denied her right to abortion care. #JusticeforJane â ACLU (@ACLU) December 21 2017
Lloyd explained in his memo that the illegal immigrant teen referred to as âJane Poe â claimed she became pregnant as a result of rape by an attacker but also said she had âa boyfriend in her home country with whom she had intercourse.â
âSeveral weeks after the assault she made the journey to the United States where she attempted to cross the border illegally but was apprehended at the border â he continued further indicating the teen was persistent in expressing her desire for an abortion.
âAt nearly 22 weeks the child has at least a fighting chance at survival if born â Lloyd wrote. âThe most likely method of abortion in this instance is Dilation and Evacuation abortion. This particular form of abortion is one that even many abortionists find troublesome.â
Lloyd cited the words of abortionist Dr. Lisa Harris who admitted âThere is violence in abortion especially in second trimester procedures.â
Lloyd continued:
Certainly it is understandable that a woman who is pregnant from the vile actions of a criminal would want to terminate her pregnancy. I do not and am in no position to judge anyone who has taken such an action or supported another in doing so. But I cannot authorize our program to participate in the abortion requested here even in this most difficult case. Here where the pregnancy is advanced to such a late stage we have in stark relief the reality that abortion entails as Dr. Harris candidly admitted violence that has the ultimate destruction of another human being as its goal. ⦠Implicit here are the dubious notions that it is possible to cure violence with further violence and that the destruction of an unborn childâs life can in some instances be acceptable as a means to an end. To decline to assist in an abortion here is to decline to participate in violence against an innocent life. She remains pregnant but this is not the intent of our actions. Moral and criminal responsibility for the pregnancy lies with the attacker and no one else.

Question: Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney speaks to members of the media at the main clubhouse at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster , New Jersey , on Nov. 19 .
Romney acted quickly and imposed a sense of fiscal rectitude .
Romney nixed five-star travel accommodations , scrapped costly segments of the ceremonies and swapped out color marketing brochures for black-and-white ," as Time noted .
In the 1990s , Romney stepped in to rescue the Salt Lake City Olympics after a bribery scandal had cast a pall over the upcoming games .
In short , it requires Mitt Romney .
Next , Romney served as the executive of a territory somewhat larger than Puerto Rico .
To a degree , Romney 's public image is associated with his failed bid to unseat President Obama in 2012 when he ran a highly partisan , often disingenuous campaign .
Because until that time , Romney had shown himself to be one of the more competent people in American public life .
Working with Democrats , Romney engineered a new system of mandates , exchanges , subsidies , and requirements on insurance companies , essentially the precursor to Obamacare .
Romney was n't a particularly good political campaigner .
If he could n't be the CEO of the whole country , Romney apparently decided that he 'd be the CEO of nothing .
Romney 's name has surfaced in Utah politics as a potential successor to Sen. Orrin Hatch .
But it 's pretty clear how someone like Romney would proceed : Audit the finances to get a firm grip on the situation , strike deals with creditors , line up new investors to help fund the region going forward .
The politics of this might be messy : Romney is not particularly liked by Democrats or Republicans .
Romney had a long career as a private equity investor and executive at Bain Capital , a discipline that requires the simultaneous application of business engineering and financial engineering to a range of different industries -- and a willingness to resolve huge financial problems by walking away from them or restructuring them .
But there 's no downside for either party to embracing a role for Romney .
But Romney and his talents would be wasted in the do-nothing Senate , just as they would have been wasted if President Trump had appointed him to be his secretary of state .
Romney was n't a particularly good political campaigner .

Part 3. Exercise
Gen. Sarath Fonseka retired from the army in mid-November after months of tension with Rajapaksa who has staked his re-election campaign on the resounding military victory over the Tamil Tiger insurgency in May.
Fonseka led a tough counterinsurgency strategy that took small teams of fighters deep into the jungles of northern Sri Lanka striking a mortal blow to a rebel army that had battled the government for more than two decades.
"We have done away with the terrorists " Fonseka told reporters at a news conference on Sunday. "But now you can't leave the country in the hands of a tin-pot dictator."
After the war was won Rajapaksa moved Fonseka into a largely ceremonial post and the uneasy alliance between the two men crumbled. A coalition of nationalist and left-wing opposition parties named Fonseka as its candidate to face Rajapaksa.
In his resignation letter Fonseka criticized what he described as "appalling conditions" at the camps. He promised to shift to Parliament much of the power that comes with the office of the president. He also accused Rajapaksa of failing to bring Sri Lanka together after the long and bloody war with the Tamil Tigers.
Still many of Sri Lanka's Tamils and other minorities remain skeptical of Fonseka because of his role in prosecuting the war and his strong alliance with the nationalists from the ethnic-Sinhalese majority.

On Jan. 23 Californians Adam Schiff and Dianne Feinstein respectively the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee and a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee sent a letter to Twitter demanding an explanation for the surge on the site of tweets bearing the hashtag #ReleaseTheMemo a reference to a controversial Republican memo that alleges Justice Department impropriety in the FBI's Trump-Russia probe.
Twitter sent Schiff and Feinstein its response late Friday evening. Representatives for the two legislators declined Monday and Tuesday to share the letter and it's unclear if it will ever be released. Twitter declined to release the letter on its own.
Schiff and Feinsteinâs concern had compared the role of Russian botnets in the #ReleaseTheMemo campaign to the malign role of Russian trolls in spreading false news during the 2016 election.
"If these reports are accurate we are witnessing an ongoing attack by the Russian government through Kremlin-linked social media actors directly acting to intervene and influence our democratic process â Schiff and Feinstein said in their letter to Twitter. âThis latest example of Russian interference is in keeping with Moscow's concerted covert and continuing campaign to manipulate American public opinion and erode trust in our law enforcement and intelligence institutions.â

NEW YORK (Reuters Breakingviews) - Time beat the clock. After rejecting at least two earlier entreaties the publisher of Fortune Sports Illustrated and other magazines agreed to be acquired by rival Meredith for $1.8 billion which includes a hefty 46 percent premium. It’s a lucky break because a go-it-alone strategy looked doomed. Bountiful cost savings however will go to the buyer and its new billionaire backers.
Fortunately for Time shareholders Meredith has been a persistent suitor. After failed merger efforts over the last few years the $18.50-a-share all-cash offer provides nearly $600 million more than the target’s market value when deal talks surfaced on Nov. 16.
The presence of Charles and David Koch whose private equity fund is kicking in preferred equity to help pay for the acquisition may create concern for some readers because of the brothers’ history of supporting conservative causes. They aren’t getting a board seat though. The investment which resembles one Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim made in the New York Times also includes a solid financial rationale.
Meredith is touting between $400 million and $500 million of cost savings within two years of the companies uniting. Once taxed and capitalized at the low end of that range they would be worth some $2.4 billion today – on a $2.8 billion deal including debt. If nothing else that should buy Meredith and the Kochs some time.

Undeniable is available for purchase on Amazon . DIE BABY KILLERS The graffiti was crude and unimaginative . The words were scrawled across a ten - foot section of the corridor wall in tall letters the color of blood . Drips ran down from the thick spots where the vandal activist started and stopped his strokes . The scent of aerosolized acrylic lingered in the air . Security guard Burt Dobbin pressed a finger to one of the spots — the paint felt tacky . He wiped the residue on the wall and pressed the send button on the microphone clipped to the epaulet of his uniform . “ Charlie you copy ?” “ Yeah ” a voice crackled back . “ I ’ m on six main corridor near the conference room . Some nut job musta got in and spray painted a nastygram on the wall .” “ How the —? Hold on I ’ m toggling the cameras .” Dobbin could hear Charlie Sparks breathing over the walkie - talkie . Same with the stairwells .” “ I take it this death threat wasn ’ t here during your rounds an hour ago .” “ Hell no .” “ Well call it into Central double - check the doors and get up here . We need to do a room - by - room sweep .” Ten minutes later Dobbin ’ s partner on the night shift scaled the stairs to the top floor of the six - story commercial loft in the heart of Manhattan ’ s Tribeca District . The nineteenth - century warehouse building had fallen on hard times and then found new life with a renovation that transformed it into the national headquarters of Heartland Family Planning . As he closed the stair door behind him Sparks swiped a card key through the jamb reader to set the door into alarm mode . The illuminated display changed from green to red . He then joined his partner by the defaced wall . “ Damn ” Sparks hissed through his teeth . “ We set ?” Dobbin asked . “ Main floor perimeter is locked down . The elevators are parked on one and if they pop a stair door without a card key we ’ ll hear about it .” “ Good . Let ’ s start with the conference room and work our way around .” Sparks nodded . The pair drew their side arms and moved into position on the strike side of the door to the floor ’ s large conference room . Sparks swiped his card key to unlock the door . On Dobbin ’ s signal Sparks grabbed the lever handle and opened the door . Sensors inside the room detected the sudden motion and the lights suspended over the conference table flickered on . They entered and visually swept the room their eyes tracking in concert with the barrels of their Sig Sauer P250s . Both signaled a thumbs - up confirming that the room was clear . Sparks locked the door as they exited and the pair moved on to the next room . The sixth floor housed the administrative offices of Heartland Family Planning a nationwide network of clinics and counseling facilities offering a full range of women ’ s reproductive health services . No patients or clients visited the Tribeca facility . This building contained only the back - office legal and administrative functions associated with the specialty healthcare provider . The guards searched counterclockwise around the floor checking the offices belonging to Heartland ’ s senior staff and finding nothing amiss . Halfway through their circuit Dobbin led the way through the open office area that served as the antechamber to the chief executive officer ’ s inner sanctum . Finding no one hiding under the desks the security guards proceeded to an imposing wood door . Sparks again cleared the electronic lock opened the door and followed Dobbin in . As the senior man Dobbin believed in leading by example especially with a new guard like Sparks who had only spent a few weeks on the job . He took two steps into the room then felt his partner move into position behind him . The city glistened through the arched windows of the large office . And as the lights came on Dobbin saw a can of spray paint on top of the CEO ’ s glass and steel desk . He took a step toward the desk quietly thankful for its open frame construction that offered no place of concealment . The office smelled of fresh acrylic and a single word clung wetly to the glass desktop : MURDERER . “ Our perp must still be in the suite ” Dobbin said just above a whisper . Then everything went black for Dobbin . Sparks watched his partner collapse onto the carpeted floor the unconscious man ’ s awkward descent ended with a muffled thud and the clatter of his dislodged sidearm . A satisfied smile curled in the corners of his mouth — his time playing the role of Charlie Sparks was over and Byron Palmer ’ s real work could now begin . The device in his hand bore a passing resemblance to a Taser though its technological innards were considerably more sophisticated . A fan of Star Trek from his youth Palmer called his invention a disrupter because it did exactly that to the low - voltage current that powers the human body . It was much like flipping a switch and depending on the intensity the effect could be temporary or permanent . Palmer left his former partner where he fell and sat behind the CEO ’ s desk . During his rounds over the previous weeks he had loaded select computers with keystroke traps collecting legitimate usernames and passwords . Bit by bit he fashioned a temporary identity with unfettered access to the wealth of information stored in Heartland ’ s data center . He slipped a flash drive into the USB port and the programs it contained came to life . A window opened on the CEO ’ s flat screen monitor displaying the status of Palmer ’ s data mining effort . Satisfied that all was performing as planned he left the office whistling the dwarf ’ s work song from Disney ’ s Snow White . In addition to scouring Heartland ’ s electronic archives the programs Palmer unleashed tapped the building ’ s security network bypassing live camera feeds with prerecorded imagery . He made his way through the building to the loading dock . Just outside the service door he found the pair of homeless men he had befriended over the past few weeks . “ Look it ’ s Charlie ” one said warmly his face expectant like a dog ’ s upon the return of his master . Both men staggered to their feet hopeful for another few dollars to carry them through the coming day . “ Hey fellas real cold out tonight . Wanna step inside and warm up a bit ?” “ C - can we ?” one asked surprised by the offer . I ’ ll kick on the dock heaters .” Palmer led the two men through the open door . Once inside he quickly stunned both with the disrupter . He then stripped the men and dressed the one closest to his height and build in an identical guard uniform . The other wino he clad in activist chic — used jeans a hooded sweatshirt and a careworn army field jacket . Palmer stuffed the threadbare grimy rags he had peeled from the men into a large black trash bag that he set beside the loading dock door . He loaded the two men on a dolly along with a pair of backpacks and checked his watch — right on schedule . Once on the sixth floor Palmer set the stage . He laid the fake guard on the floor outside the CEO ’ s office door where Palmer had stood when he incapacitated Dobbin . He dragged the faux activist into the office setting him against a credenza between two of the arched windows and placed both backpacks on top of the desk . From one he removed a pair of jeans and other layers appropriate for this time of year in the city . He quickly changed clothes and stuffed his uniform into the empty backpack . Palmer waited for the computer to chime then he withdrew the flash drive and tucked it into his pocket . He saw the fading remnants of the programs erase themselves and knew that all traces of their actions would disappear from the internal network . Satisfied he reached into the second backpack and activated a timer . As it counted down he slung the backpack containing his uniform over his shoulder and departed . Down on the main floor Palmer picked up the black trash bag and slipped out the back door into the alley . He followed a meandering course away from the building and dumped the trash bag in a pile of refuse awaiting the 5 : 00 a . m . garbage collection . He heard a low dull rumble as he neared the subway station and then saw a bright flash as flames leaped skyward from the top floor of the Heartland building .

Q: In a letter posted on the White House web site Tuesday John Brennan assistant to President Barack Obama for homeland security and counterterrorism said Schmidt will have regular access to the president and play a vital role in the country's security.
Schmidt's selection comes more than 10 months after Obama declared cyber security a priority and ordered a broad administration review.
A senior White House official said Obama was personally involved in the selection process and chose Schmidt because of his unique background and skills. Schmidt will have regular and direct access to the president for cyber security issues the official said. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the selection process.
At the same time cyber experts and potential job candidates have complained that the position lacks the budgetary and policy-making authority needed to be successful. Schmidt will report to the National Security Council and closely support the National Economic Council on cyber issues.
Schmidt's selection suggests that economic and business interests in the White House held more sway in the selection process. Schmidt president and CEO of the Information Security Forum a nonprofit international consortium that conducts research in information security has served as chief security officer for Microsoft and as cyber security chief for online auction giant eBay. He was reportedly preferred by Lawrence Summers director of the economic council.

In late March Timothy Nguyen a 25-year-old coach at Quicksilver a USA Swimming-affiliated club in San Jose quit after an underage swimmer told the clubâs head coach that Nguyen had sent her suggestive messages through social media. The head coach informed USA Swimming officials but no one told law enforcement.
Two months later on May 30 Elizabeth Hoendervoogt a USA Swimming official and abuse prevention specialist called San Jose police to report Nguyen and send over messages the coach had exchanged with three swimmers all aged 14 to 16.
In one exchange police allege Nguyen asked a girl if sheâd been sexually active yet discussed the specifics of several sex acts and then suggested they could be âfriends with benefits.â In another police say Nguyen asked a girl for nude photos. One girl told police she had improved as a swimmer under Nguyen and she had been concerned he would stop coaching her if she didnât respond.
In late June police arrested Nguyen . Then they learned Quicksilverâs head coach and USA Swimming officials had known about some of Nguyenâs behavior in March. In California coaches are mandatory reporters and must inform authorities within 36 hours of learning of suspected sex crimes involving children.
USA Swimming spokesman Matthew Farrell said it took two months for the Olympic sports organization to report Nguyen to police because it took time to collect the text messages. When asked whether USA Swimming or the club should have handled the report differently Farrell replied: âIâm not aware of any substantive changes that USA Swimming or the club would make.â

Input: Consider Input: Supporters of the Syrian regime rejected any link to a chemical weapons strike. They claimed the reports were fabricated by terrorist groups in Idlib and suggested the fatalities were the result of an explosion at a supposed al-Qaeda chemical weapons factory. Russian authorities whose warplanes are flying in support of the regime said they had not conducted a strike in the area around the town. But the broader international reaction was vehement â and put the blame squarely on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad .
Such strikes are a regime tactic to further demoralize the flagging rebellion. " Assad calculates reasonably that military dynamics play in his favor. By using chemical weapons and other weapons he is demonstrating the powerlessness of international actors " Emile Hokayem a Middle East analyst at the International Institute for Strategic Studies told The Washington Post.
"Today's chemical attack in Syria against innocent people including women and children is reprehensible and cannot be ignored by the civilized world " said White House press secretary Sean Spicer. "These heinous actions by the Bashar al-Assad regime are a consequence of the past administration's weakness and irresolution."
It's seemingly a bizarre line of attack for the Trump administration to choose. In 2013 the Obama administration contemplated a military response after a suspected regime chemical weapons attack on rebel-held districts in the suburbs of Damascus killed more than 1 000 people. The mounting international pressure at the time compelled Assad to agree to eliminate its chemical weapons program.
The fact that Obama chose to back off from confronting the Assad regime which allegedly used chemical weapons numerous times in the years since will forever haunt the former president's legacy. Much of the Washington foreign policy establishment has excoriated him for it. But Trump in 2013 â then a private citizen with the same itchy Twitter finger â was opposed to American intervention in Syria.
The irony is that Trump's position on the Syrian conflict isn't that far removed from Obama's â although it's more conspicuous in its indifference to the plight of Syrian refugees. The previous administration called for Assad 's departure but it did little to actually push for regime change fearing that any deeper involvement in the Syrian conflict would risk the sort of blowback and chaos that rocked Iraq after the 2003 U.S. invasion. Trump meanwhile has insisted on multiple occasions that he is not interested in nation-building in the Middle East or dictating regime change. His lieutenants indicated as recently as last week that the White House does not prioritize removing Assad from power.

Input: Consider Input: We spent most of the episode â spoiler alert â inside and around the Sanctuary the main compound of Neganâs Saviors. We finally got back to Negan Father Gabriel and their unintended cohabitation in a trailer besieged by walkers.
Meantime Rick and Daryl were on the road and as eventually happens with most people who travel together there was a disagreement. Plus a chokehold. Plus an explosion. Between these two and Negan and Gabriel itâs obviously so hard for men to truly be friends.
So whatâs going to happen inside the Sanctuary? Will Rick and Daryl patch it up? Is it possible that Gabriel just has the flu?
3. Negan and Gabriel: Theyâre no Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy. Still although their tense togetherness wasnât buddy-movie material it made for some pretty good television.
He and Gabriel it turned out really were still in the walker-beset trailer where we left them four episodes ago. And it was looking pretty grim like they would end up as strange bedfellows but in a death bed.
Ah but Gabriel had a plan. âI think Iâm here to take your confession â he told Negan. So while the latter tried to figure a way out or wait for his compadres to come try to rescue them Gabriel just kept gnawing on the confession bone.
Finally as the zombies were starting to punch through the side of their makeshift fort Gabriel confessed to Negan that he had locked his parishioners outside the church when the plague came and listened to them die.
Negan responded sort of like an actual human. He told Gabriel of cheating on his first wife before the disease came and then not being able to âput her downâ when she died amid the plague. Itâs not an earth-shattering confession but as a therapist might say there was a lot of progress this session.
Gabriel meanwhile was put into a Negan prison cell â âgently â said the big guy fondly remembering their little interlude. In the last shot Gabriel was sweating and obviously very sick. Did he get bitten sneaking then fighting through the zombies? Or is he just wracked with guilt over the several more chances he had to kill Negan and didnât take? How can a guy off his whole parish but not the one obviously most potent baddie he âs met?
First though the guy they had to get rid of to get it managed to struggle up to the roadside mostly so he could let the duo know that Ezekiel and Carol lived but almost nobody else from the Kingdom forces. Then he conveniently died.

Now, solve this: LeBron James was experiencing pain and inflammation in his elbow over the summer so he changed his shooting motion to minimize the discomfort.
Through four games this season James is posting career-high shooting percentages across the board.
James ' numbers may fall off as the season goes on but it could be a positive new development in his game in his 15h season.
In his 15th season in the NBA LeBron James is shooting the ball differently and better than ever.
Through four games James is averaging 27 points per game while shooting 64% from the field 44% from three and 88% from the free-throw line. All three percentages would be career-highs over the course of a season.
According to ESPN's Dave McMenamin the change is not random â James changed his shooting motion during the summer to deal with an injury and it appears to be helping him .
James told McMenamin that shortly after the Cleveland Cavaliers' season ended he began experiencing discomfort in his elbow as it swelled to the size of a tennis ball. James was concerned enough to get an MRI on it but it came back negative with no structural damage.
Rather than halt his offseason work James began shooting with a higher release to minimize discomfort.
"It was just me " James told McMenamin. "I'm at a point now in my career where I know if I need to make an adjustment here or there."
James said the elbow inflammation went away on its own but he stuck with the new motion.
"I shoot it higher " James said. "When the swelling went down I just continued to do the same motion the same motion. My free throws my 3s my pullups all that."
The difference is not very noticeable. Here's a three-pointer James made in November of the 2016-17 season:
And a three-pointer James made on Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls:
Four games is a small sample size. Over the course of his career James has never shot better than 56.7% from the field 40.6% from three and 78% from the free throw line.
According to McMenamin Korver issued the 50-40-90 challenge to James â meaning a player shoots over 50% from the field 40% from three and 90% from the free throw line for a season â and James balked slightly.
"I definitely got the 50 " James said. "The 50 ain't s---. I can shoot 50 in my sleep. I'm almost damn near 60. I can shoot 60 ... I can go 50-40-85. Maybe. We'll see."

NEW YORK (AP) â Hillary Clinton says she should not have let a senior campaign adviser keep his job after a female staffer accused him of sexual harassment in 2007.
"The most important work of my life has been to support and empower women " Clinton wrote on Facebook Tuesday night . "So I very much understand the question I'm being asked as to why I let an employee on my 2008 campaign keep his job despite his inappropriate workplace behavior. The short answer is this: If I had it to do again I wouldn't."
Clinton said that senior campaign staff and legal counsel confirmed that the behavior by faith-based adviser Burns Strider had occurred after the woman came forward. Her campaign manager recommended that Strider be terminated but Clinton said she instead demoted him docked his pay required counseling separated him from the victim and warned him that he'd be fired if he did it again.
Clinton said that there were no further complaints against Strider during the rest of the campaign but that she is troubled that he was terminated from a job leading an independent political action committee supporting Clinton for inappropriate behavior several years later.
"I believed the punishment was severe and the message to him unambiguous. I also believe in second chances " Clinton said in the post published shortly before the start of President Donald Trump's State of the Union address. "But sometimes they're squandered."
She said that the reoccurrence of the behavior "troubles me greatly" and leads her to question whether it would have been better if she had fired him.
"There is no way I can go back 10 years and know the answers. But you can bet I'm asking myself these questions right now."
Clinton said that her first thought after the Times report "was for the young woman involved" and that she reached out to her "to see how she was doing but also to help me reflect on my decision and its consequences."
"She expressed appreciation that she worked on a campaign where she knew she could come forward without fear " Clinton said. " She was glad that her accusations were taken seriously that there was a clear process in place for dealing with harassment and that it was followed. Most importantly she told me that for the remainder of the campaign she flourished in her new role. "

When Ava Gardner first met Frank Sinatra in 1943 the duo couldn’t have suspected that six years later after the actress faced two disastrous divorces before the age of 25 they would happily dive into a controversial love affair.
Sinatra may have still been married but an insistent Gardner reportedly made the singer ask Nancy for a divorce. The mother of his three young children initially refused but she eventually granted Sinatra a divorce in 1951. One week after his divorce was final Sinatra married Gardner.
“I don’t think [Frank] wanted to hurt Nancy ” said Uzarowski. “But at the same time I don’t think he went out of his way to hide [the affair]. They did get into quite a lot of trouble with the public. There were angry letters hate mail coming in every week to the studio.
“She really liked Ava ” said Uzarowski. “She could have had a very bad attitude towards Ava because she basically stole her father away from her mother. She could have been resentful. But there was none of that… Tina and Nancy were both very friendly with Ava .”
“The first time she met Ava when she was a little girl of 4 or 5 Ava got down on her knees so she [could] have eye contact with her ” said Uzarowski. “And she really treated her with a lot of attention and a lot of warmth. That obviously really impressed her as a child. She still remembered that after all of these years.”
Still Gardner and Sinatra wouldn’t share a happily ever after. Their marriage was plagued by jealousy fiery tempers and insecurity. They also publicly battled. The relationship was reportedly so tumultuous that Gardner had two abortions during their marriage which she later publicly admitted.
According to Tina Gardner later wondered what the couple could have done differently.
The marriage lasted for less than two years. In 1953 MGM announced their separation. Then in 1957 Gardner and Sinatra were divorced. However they apparently never got over each other. There were even rumors of a possible reconciliation.
Gardner would move on and live a quiet life in London for more than 30 years seeking salvation from the paparazzi. She never remarried.
One of Sinatra’s biggest tragedies would come in 1990 when Gardner died at age 67 of pneumonia.
“[Tina] said it was such a huge blow to him ” said Uzarowski. “ She said he never got over it… It was such a huge shock to him . She was the love of his life by all accounts. When she did pass away he was devastated.
"Tina said the actual pain he experienced was so much more. He wouldn’t share that with anyone because it was too personal… There was a story that Nancy said in another book that he just locked himself in a room for 24 hours… and wouldn’t speak to anyone.”

GOP gubernatorial hopeful Sen. John DeFrancisco blasted Gov. Cuomo on Tuesday saying he failed to release most of $2 billion in school funding some of which could be used for safety measures.
The state regularly processes applications and only has 10 outstanding before the review board that Cuomo controls his office said. Both sides agree only $400 million has been spent.
The Syracuse state senator said one superintendent in Newburgh told him he had an application in for several years.
While DeFrancisco put the blame on Cuomo saying his administration is either âincompetentâ or waiting to release the money during his re-election Cuomoâs staff said it âs the Senate-controlled State Education Department thatâs responsible for the backlog.
They also denied DeFranciscoâs claim that 250 school districts across the state are waiting for the money because Cuomo âs people wonât release it.
âDeFrancisco is either a liar intent on politicizing every part of state government or he didnât read the bill he voted for â Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi said.
The review board awarding the funds has approved 427 plans for projects covering 322 school districts and 20 special education schools Azzopardi said.

Better to avoid romaine lettuce for now said Jean Halloran director of food policy initiatives at Consumers Union the nonprofit policy arm of Consumer Reports.
â(The CDC and FDA are) being very conservative and cautious about this but for consumers itâs a very simple thing to do to buy another kind of leafy green until more is known about the risk â Halloran said.
Itâs unusual for Consumer Reports to issue a food warning when the CDC and FDA havenât issued a recall Halloran said. But given the size of the outbreak and the severity of the risk which is worse for elderly people and children the magazine felt it was the right decision she said.

Women walk past a roadside poster of Chinese President Xi Jinping on Oct. 24. Xi Jinping Thought will now be taught researched and promoted in universities across China. (Greg Baker/AFP/Getty Images)
A day after thousands of Communist Party delegates voted to have President Xi Jinpingâs thought included in the official party dogma one of the countryâs elite universities immediately opened a research center dedicated to his ideology.
Within the next few days around 40 universities followed suit scrambling to set up their own centers for âXi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in a New Era.â
Itâs the latest example of the narrowing space for independent thought in modern China and the ever tighter ideological controls being imposed under Xiâs rule foreign and domestic experts said. It is also at odds with Chinaâs ambitions to be a global power in academia as the space for constructive debate narrows.
The first to announce a research center dedicated to Xi Jinping Thought was Renmin University of China in Beijing one of the nationâs most respected higher education institutions with links to more than 200 other universities around the globe.
It opened the center on Oct. 25 just one day after thousands of Communist Party delegates unanimously voted to absorb the cumbersome phrase into their constitution alongside Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory.
âFrom the aspect of the development of our country the establishment of the research center is of great historical significance â Liu Wei president of the university and director of the new center told Chinese media. âIt is an important responsibility given to the school by our times â

[EX Q]: And it would appear that some of those funds come from helping disgraced provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos make money.
Earlier this month following ThinkProgress’s reporting Yiannopoulos parted ways with Shopify a Canadian company that had prior provided Yiannopoulos with a means of monetizing the latest white nationalist memes — even though Yiannopoulos had collaborated with white supremacists and was fired from Breitbart for his seeming willingness to condone pedophilia.
On Monday however Yiannopoulos launched “Dangerous ” which he claimed would be “the leading destination for media from the New Right.” The site was password-protected sometime Monday afternoon but the “Dangerous Boutique” store that went live alongside it remains online — as is Yiannopoulos ’s apparent partnership with Stripe.
Yiannopoulos ’s current slate of products range from “Feminism is Cancer” mugs to Batman-ripoff T-shirts. He is also selling a shirt that reads that “Milo did nothing wrong ” an apparent reference to his pedophilia-related comments that forced him out of Breitbart.
Stripe’s involvement with Yiannopoulos ’s new store – which remains one of his sole sources of revenue following his recent fallout with hedge fund manager Robert Mercer – becomes clear when users try to purchase any items from Yiannopoulos ’s store.
ThinkProgress’s questions to Stripe went unanswered and it remains unclear if Stripe is aware that Yiannopoulos is using their service to make money and build his brand. Nonetheless Yiannopoulos has not hidden his mutually beneficial relationship with Stripe.
As Collison told BBC “As long as the internet economy continues to grow Stripe will continue to grow.” And it appears that as long as Yiannopoulos ’s new business grows so too will Stripe.

[EX Q]: HAVANA (Reuters) - With revolutionary leader Fidel Castro dead and his brother Raul vowing to step down as president in 15 months it will soon be the hour of heir apparent Miguel Diaz-Canel an advocate for modernizing Cuba's state-run media and abysmal internet access.
Diaz-Canel was elevated to the position of first vice-president in 2013 putting him next in line for the presidency.
At 56 he is a relative youngster in the ruling Communist Party's leadership and will need to appeal to younger generations if Cuban communism is to thrive beyond the Castro brothers.
He has already established press and internet freedom as signature concerns a potentially disruptive change in a one-party state that has monopolized the media for nearly 58 years.
Otherwise however he has a much weaker public profile than the Castros and it is not clear what policy changes he would push through.
Until now he has held to the party line or avoided public comment on key issues such as economic and political reforms or relations with the United States which were overhauled by Raul Castro and U.S. President Barack Obama over the past two years.
Still experts say his position as heir apparent is solid and that he would have to stumble badly for someone else to leapfrog him and become the next president in Cuba's arcane system for choosing its leader.
Born after the Castros took power in 1959 Diaz-Canel is a child of their revolution who rose through the Communist Party by cultivating relationships within the political elite while avoiding the show-boating that ended the careers of other pretenders.
" He has the advantage of having outlived his predecessors (as heir apparent) " Christopher Sabatini a Cuba expert at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs said on Monday.
Diaz-Canel has been careful not to eclipse Raul Castro and is so cautious as to come off as dull and gray his public statements largely unmemorable.
" He 's sublimated any ambitions he may have had so the question is what his role and power will be among the old guard. Most people try to imagine him bridging the new generation and the historic one. That should be challenging " Sabatini said.
That reserved behavior and the government's secretive nature make Diaz-Canel largely a mystery to all but Cuba's political elite.
U.S. officials say they know little about him and most Cubans outside his hometown of Santa Clara know even less.
If he does take over in 2018 Diaz-Canel will be following 59 years of rule by the Castro brothers one who was gifted with abundant charisma and the other who commanded the absolute respect of top military and political figures.
" He will be the first civilian president of the revolution and that will require the confidence of the military " said Arturo Lopez Levy a former political analyst for the Cuban government whose mother taught Diaz-Canel at university.
Diaz-Canel chose to pedal. He would navigate the provincial capital Santa Clara vying for space on narrow streets clogged with horse-drawn carts motorcycle taxis and pedestrians.

[EX Q]: Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) the ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) fell for a spoof by Russian pranksters who promised in a call with the top House Democrat to furnish him withâkompromatââcompromising dirtâon President Donald Trump.
The notorious Russian pranksters who the Daily Mailâs Alana Goodman notes are âcomedians nicknamed âVovanâ and âLexusââ who have become famous for âtheir phony calls to high-ranking American officials and celebrities including UN Ambassador Nikki Haley and Elton John â posed as leading Ukrainian officials in their call to Schiff in early 2017.
âOn an audio recording of the prank call posted online Adam Schiff can be heard discussing the committeeâs Russia investigation and increasingly bizarre allegations about Trump with a man who claimed to be Andriy Parubiy the chairman of the Ukrainian Parliament â Goodman wrote in the Daily Mail.
On April 10 2017 an assistant to Adam Schiff the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee which is investigating Donald Trumpâs campaign for possible collusion with the Kremlin patched in a long-planned call from Andriy Parubiy the speaker of the Rada the Ukrainian parliament. Parubiy said he had some potentially explosive information about Trumpâs visit to Moscow for the Miss Universe pageant in 2013.
The call per the audio available on YouTube begins with platitudes and introductions and Schiff thanks the man he thinks is Parubiy for his time addressing him as âMr. Chairman.â
The man then pitches that he wants to provide materials to Schiff for his committeeâs investigation on âTrumpâ and the âRussian government â to which Schiff cautions him that the Russians were likely listening to the call.
âI would just caution that our Russian friends may be listening to the conversation so I wouldnât share anything over the phone that you donât want them to hear â Schiff said.
After the Russian prankster posing as the Ukrainian official said he had no concerns with what the Russians may or may not hear he proceeded to tell Schiff about what would have been explosive allegations against the now-sitting president of the United States if they were true.
Sobchak has extensive ties to Putin the prankster told Schiff adding that she is âalso known as a person who provides girls for escort for oligarchs. And she met with Trump and she brought him one Russian girl celebrity Olga Buzova.â The prankster even told Schiff that Sobchak is a âspecial agent of Russian secret service.â
In reality Sobchak is actually anti-Putinâan ex-Playboy model running against the Russian president on an anti-corruption platform after her time as a television anchor. But no matter to Schiff ; he was entranced by the possibility of âkompromatâ on Trump.
After per the Russian pranksters posing as Ukrainian officials in their conversation with Schiff Sobchak introduced Trump to Buzova Buzova âgot compromising materials on Trump after their short relations.â
Schiff per the Atlantic report âbetrayed no emotion.â
âAnd so Putin was made aware of the availability of the compromising material?â Schiff asked the man he thought was a Ukrainian leader.
Adding insult to injury the pranksters convinced Schiff that they had a recording of Sobchak and Buzov discussing this during a recent visit to Ukraine and that the Ukrainian officials would provide said recording to the FBI and the House Intelligence Committeeâs Democratic minority staff.
But thatâs not all. The pranksters told Schiff that Trumpâs ex-National Security Adviser Michael Flynn met with Russians in Brighton Beach in Brooklyn speaking in code words. From the Atlantic piece here is more:
He told Schiff about meetings that Trumpâs former national-security adviser Michael Flynn had had with a Russian pop singer who served as an intermediary for the Kremlin. Theyâd met at a café in Brighton Beach a Russian-immigrant enclave in Brooklyn where Parubiy said âthey used a special password before their meetings.â One would say âWeather is good on Deribasovskaya.â The right response was âIt rains again on Brighton Beach.â

Q: In a letter posted on the White House web site Tuesday John Brennan assistant to President Barack Obama for homeland security and counterterrorism said Schmidt will have regular access to the president and play a vital role in the country's security.
Schmidt's selection comes more than 10 months after Obama declared cyber security a priority and ordered a broad administration review.
A senior White House official said Obama was personally involved in the selection process and chose Schmidt because of his unique background and skills. Schmidt will have regular and direct access to the president for cyber security issues the official said. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the selection process.
At the same time cyber experts and potential job candidates have complained that the position lacks the budgetary and policy-making authority needed to be successful. Schmidt will report to the National Security Council and closely support the National Economic Council on cyber issues.
Schmidt's selection suggests that economic and business interests in the White House held more sway in the selection process. Schmidt president and CEO of the Information Security Forum a nonprofit international consortium that conducts research in information security has served as chief security officer for Microsoft and as cyber security chief for online auction giant eBay. He was reportedly preferred by Lawrence Summers director of the economic council.

In the Florida Keys a shortage of affordable housing has become a crisis after Hurricane Irma. More than 27 000 homes were damaged or destroyed by Irma's high winds and storm surge. A lot of those were mobile homes or trailers. And NPR's Greg Allen reports that this is having an impact on the service and tourist economy in the Keys.
ALLEN : Yeah. How many do you think are gone now?
ALLEN : Todd Sabin has lived in the Driftwood Trailer Park for decades. He's retired now. He and his wife are lucky. When they returned after Irma their mobile home was intact. Most others weren't as fortunate. Some received enough damage that their mobile homes are slated for demolition. For many like Sabin this is a second home.
ALLEN : Sabin's longtime neighbor Jimmy Aurelio has stopped by. He's moving out. He owns his own business - a towing company. He's staying with a friend for now but says he's looking for a new place to live in the Keys.
ALLEN : Steve Miller has lived on Big Pine Key for 35 years. Like more than a dozen of his neighbors his mobile home was destroyed in Hurricane Irma. This island has long been one of the most affordable places to live in the Keys. One reason for that Miller says are the mobile homes - many of them old but available for rent.
ALLEN : Miller says he has many friends who have already left. He worries many more will follow unless local officials act quickly to make more affordable housing available for the people who staff the Keys' restaurants hotels schools and hospitals. But in the Keys like other resort communities proposals to build workforce housing are often met with strong opposition. At a recent county commission meeting Bill Hunter was one of several residents worried that workforce housing would increase density and traffic in his neighborhood.
ALLEN : This problem the need for workforce housing isn't a new issue here. County Commissioner Heather Carruthers says over the last several years with incentives and help from the county developers have built more than 800 units reserved for workforce housing. But she says Irma has turned a longstanding problem into a crisis. Carruthers says it's about more than protecting the vital tourist economy.
ALLEN : Carruthers says the county is looking at available land where it can build workforce housing. But she knows that's something many residents will oppose.
ALLEN : Carruthers acknowledges that even the fastest plans to build more workforce housing will take a year or more to carry out. That does little to help workers who are struggling to find a place in the Keys where they can afford to live right now. Greg Allen NPR News Miami.

âI had never been with two people at the same time before. Itâs different strokes for different folks but I would say itâs a pretty fun sex life â Earnest said.
âIn regards bed placing it does complicate things. Matthew and I used to sleep on opposite sides and then Cait came long â Chris said. âIf I wanted to stay on the same side Cait would have to be in the middle and we found quickly she didnât like that.â
Both Cait and Matthew experienced bouts of jealousy at the start of their relationship experiment but said thatâs now all in the past.
âIt was a struggle even for me. The insecure part of me was like âChris loves me more because heâs been with me longer â but then he told me âI love you just as much as I love Cait â so I was like âI need to come to terms with that ââ Matthew said.
Cait said she isnât shy about sharing her relationship status.
âWhen we meet somebody at a bar I will usually say âHi Iâm Cait and these are my two boyfriends.â People often ask if Iâm joking â she said adding that even her grandpa is on board and asking when she âs planning on getting pregnant.

[EX Q]: and Sen. Ted Cruz -LRB- R-Texas -RRB- , who trailed right behind the frontrunners in the Republican and Democratic primaries , will debate each other and field questions from audience members in a town hall on CNN .
CNN 's Dana Bash and Jake Tapper -- who questioned Republican primary candidates like Cruz during a debate in 2015 -- will moderate Wednesday night 's debate at 9 p.m. ET .
The two senators diverge dramatically on the ideological spectrum , with Sanders describing himself as a "democratic socialist" and Cruz often seen as a staunch conservative .
While Sanders has vilified rich corporations for their alleged greed , Cruz advocated for more than halving the corporate tax rate in September .
According to Reuters , Cruz sought a 15-20 percent tax rate , similar to proposals issued by Trump and much lower than the current 35 percent rate .
Cruz has argued for eliminating the estate tax , also known as the "death tax ," while Sanders has called for a progressive estate tax structure .
Earlier this year , CNN hosted a debate between Sanders and Cruz on health care reform .

[EX Q]: WNBA star Breana Stewart is now sharing a story of her own in light of the #MeToo movement.
In an essay called "Me Too" on The Players' Tribune Stewart revealed that she was sexually abused as a child by a man who lived in one of the houses of her relatives. She said the man was a construction worker and smoked cigarettes but did not identify her abuser.
Stewart said she turned to basketball during this time because it "became a sort of safe space" for the current Seattle Storm forward.
"In some ways I'm still the same 11-year-old who just wanted to go to practice " Stewart wrote. "I've never been to therapy. I didn't want to talk about it. I didn't want to relive it. It's something I've tried to tuck away as far back on the shelf as I could. But that only works to an extent. I've cried. I cry most after I tell someone who's important to me. Talking about what I went through explaining all of it -- it guts me. I'm forced to relive it. That's when it hits that what happened is real. It wasn't just an awful nightmare. It wasn't some other life I lived at another time."
The 23-year-old said she told her parents about the abuse when she was 11 years old and the man was later arrested and confessed his crimes. Stewart said she wishes she could forget the memories of her experience.
"I'm angry he took advantage of me as a child. I'll never get that time back. And what memories I still have I'll never be able to erase them. Sometimes I wish for a few more black holes " Stewart said.
Breanna Stewart said basketball became a safe space for her as child. (Jessica Hill/AP)
Stewart said she decided to come forward with her story because the movement is something bigger than her .
Stewart was a basketball star for the UConn women's basketball team. She won the NCAA national championship four times and was given the Naismith Award for college basketball's most outstanding player on three occasions.
So far she has seamlessly transitioned to the WNBA and was given the Rookie of the Year award in 2016.

PROBLEM: Detroit resident Darrell Standberry doesn't navigate streets of the Motor City without his licensed handgun and it already has saved his life once.
âI never leave home without my weapon â he said. âYou never know when or what youâll encounter.â
It was 2011 when Standberry stopped at a gas station on Six Mile Road after attending his sonâs football practice. After filling up the tank of his SUV he left the car running and went inside to pay only to spot a man jumping in behind the wheel.
âI went back over and told him to get out of my car " said Standberry 46 aformer bar owner who is now a college student. "He told me to get the hell out of there and drove off.â
âI never leave home without my weapon. You never know when or what youâll encounter.â - Darrell Standberry
Standberry stood frozen as the bandit peeled away but then felt his heart pound when the thief doubled back. His hand moved down to his hip and gripped a holstered .45-caliber SIG Sauer as the man who had stolen his car bore down on him .
âI saw him pulling out his gun to shoot me â Standberry recalled. âSo I pulled my gun out and shot him .â
The shot went through the windshield and hit its target a criminal with a long record who made a short-lived getaway before crashing into a tree and dying. Standberry âs claim of self-defense was never questioned by local cops.

PROBLEM: A San Francisco Superior Court jury on Nov. 30 found Jose Ines Garcia Zarate 45 not guilty of murder and manslaughter charges in connection with the July 1 2015 shooting death of Kate Steinle. Jurors found him guilty of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
A San Francisco judge on Friday sentenced Garcia Zarate to three years in prison on the firearms charge said San Francisco District Attorneyâs Office spokesman Alex Bastian.
Garcia Zarate a Mexican national has been behind bars since his 2015 arrest so his sentence has been completed after factoring in credits Bastian said.
Garcia Zarate had found the gun that killed Steinle. It accidentally discharged with the bullet ricocheting off the ground at a crowded pier before striking the 32-year-old woman his defense attorneys have said.
Prosecutors claimed Garcia Zarate intentionally fired the gun but they said they accepted the juryâs verdict.
On Dec. 5 just days after he was acquitted in San Francisco Garcia Zarate was indicted on federal charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm and being an undocumented immigrant in possession of a firearm.
He remains in the custody of the San Francisco Sheriffâs Department and will be handed over to U.S. Marshals on warrants stemming from the federal charges said sheriffâs department spokeswoman Nancy Crowley.
The latest criminal counts against Zarate would not violate the constitutional protection against so-called double jeopardy which prohibits a person from being tried twice on the same charges because they differed legally from the state court charges a U.S. Department of Justice spokesman said last month.
Garcia Zarate faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison on each charge if convicted.

New input: Kyle Enos 25 was sentenced to eight years in prison for selling drugs.
He traded fentanyl a powerful opiate for bitcoin to anonymous buyers.
Enos posted doses in envelopes at his local Post Office in South Wales.
Police released the text of his dark web sales pitch after his sentencing.
This is how drug dealer Kyle Enos attracted customers to his online opiate store trading drugs for cryptocurrency on the dark web.
He traded in fentanyl the powerful painkiller that can be 50 times as strong as heroin and which contributed to Prince's death by offering customers supermarket-style "buy one get one free" deals in exchange for bitcoin.
Police also released footage from Enos 's custody interviews in which he describes how the drug operation works.
Enos told officers he did not make fentanyl himself but ordered the substance in bulk every few weeks and sold smaller doses to individual customers. He used his local Post Office in Newport South Wales to ship the drug in envelopes.
They communicated anonymously over the dark web he said in exchange for bitcoin. The footage does not give any sense of how much money he was making.
The text from Enos 's storefront is in some ways very prosaic â he has a summary of delivery times offers refunds and guarantees and emphasises the quality of his customer service.
However the illicit nature of the exchange is also obvious from Enos 's pre-emptive warnings about keeping receipts: Customers needed to be reassured that their information would not be preserved in case Enos were ever caught which of course is exactly what happened.
