Q: At least Raheem Morris finally has the name of the Bucs' starting quarterback in the back of his mind.
He wants to make sure he made the decision with his head and not just his heart.
That's why Morris declined to name his choice between Byron Leftwich and Luke McCown on Friday until after one last consultation with his coaching staff.
After that Morris said he would inform the owners then his team before making the eagerly awaited announcement. Players were off Friday so an announcement could come this morning.
"We'll have a decision here in the near future " Morris said. "I think we've got to go with who we think gives us the best chance to win.
A: Raheem Morris
Rationale: Here the main entity is Raheem Morris since the main topic of the document is about him starting as quarterback.
Q: David Shapiro’s smear of Jeff Sessions in a Chicago Tribune op-ed suggesting that the attorney general is a racist is consistent with other failed partisan efforts to distort and delegitimize the former senator’s record on race and law enforcement. Apparently Shapiro missed Sessions’s confirmation hearing in which the same smears were attempted only to be refuted one by one by witnesses — mostly black — who actually know the facts and the man.
Shapiro asserts Sessions’s directive to staff on criminal sentencing related to drug crimes is “the latest in a series of attempts by the Attorney General to tear down protections for people of color.” Mr. Shapiro seems to have forgotten that during the height of the crack epidemic ravaging the black community in the ’80s it was Congressman Charlie Rangel and other members of the Congressional Black Caucus who voted for the Anti-Drug Abuse Act (“ADAA”) which established the 100-1 sentencing ratio for crack and powder cocaine. Were Rangel and other members of Congress racist?
The rest of Shapiro ’s piece is character assassination of the worst kind. As U.S. attorney for Alabama Sessions successfully sought the death penalty for Klan members. He defended black voting rights. He hired blacks for prominent positions. As a member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights I’ve known and worked with Jeff Sessions for years and consider him the most principled and decent person in Washington a man of the highest integrity.
Shapiro ’s complaint seems to be that Attorney General Sessions is actually doing his job — enforcing the law as Congress passed it. In contrast former attorneys general Holder and Lynch under the veil of “prosecutorial discretion ” failed to enforce the law. Select immigration and sentencing laws were simply ignored virtually wholesale. That’s not the role of the attorney general whether his name is Holder or Sessions. Such a sweeping use of prosecutorial discretion effectively nullifies or rewrites federal law. If drug laws need to be changed Congress needs to change them. Holder’s and Lynch’s actions were a plain derogation if not usurpation of legislative authority. That Attorney General Sessions is being criticized for restoring both the rule of law and the Justice Department to their proper roles is an indication of how debased respect for the rule of law has become.

Input: Consider Input: The primes are "suspicious solitary numbers " Giordano writes. Perhaps they would prefer to be ordinary numbers "but for some reason they couldn't do it." And he elaborates: There are some that almost touch -- 17 and 19 41 and 43 -- but are separated by an even number. As the numbers expand these so-called twin primes become ever rarer and the presentiment develops that these were accidents and "that solitude is the true destiny." But then if you count long enough you'll find another pair of twins "clutching each other tightly." Giordano depicts with aching vividness the traumas out of which Alice and Mattia emerge disabled. Alice's ski fall might be only that despite a permanently crippled leg. But we get horror seen from within: a father who bullies her even if lovingly into enduring the cold the awkwardness the fear of something she has so little taste for that she humiliatingly befouls her ski pants. Adults cannot suspect what furnishes a child's nightmare; here the reader is made to live it.
Giordano remarkably and movingly portrays the hesitant groping toward warmth that works beneath the pair's emotional disabilities. Alice unable to tolerate not just food but also the vitality it stands for assumes a touchingly decisive if frail seductiveness with the shaky Mattia. When at 22 he brings himself to tell her about his sister she embraces him they kiss and for a moment it seems things will change.
Only briefly; Mattia retreats goes off to Scandinavia. Upon his return years later there is another almost-moment. That too will vanish. Alice's reaching out though tentative is genuine. His response describes a parabola: rising seeming to converge dropping away. He is the man who fell to earth; she is earth though crumbly.
What is even more distinctive and transforming is the writing. The author works with piercing subtlety. He manages -- moving from math to physics -- an exquisite rendering of what one might call feelings at the subatomic level emotion's muons gluons and quarks. Take that kiss: "All Mattia saw was a shadow moving toward him. He instinctively closed his eyes and then felt Alice's hot mouth on his her tears on his cheek or maybe they weren't hers and finally her hands so light holding his head still and catching all his thoughts and imprisoning them there in the space that no longer existed between them."
Output: Alice
Input: Consider Input: James Harden scored a game-high 41 points for the Rockets. (Photo: Isaiah J. Downing USA TODAY Sports)
James Harden had 41 points and eight rebounds Chris Paul scored 23 points and the Rockets beat the Nuggets 119-114 on Sunday night for their 12th straight victory.
Harden had 27 in the first half and seven in the fourth quarter when the Rockets held off a late Denver rally. Harden has scored 40 or more points nine times this season. He finished with seven assists.
"Having a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter we've got to finish games off like that " Harden said. "It was a good thing we finished the game off the right way down the stretch. We got stops when we needed to and we made shots."
That was when Harden took over. He scored 14 points in the last 2:47 of the period and assisted on Houston's other two baskets to end the period when the Rockets extended the lead from five to 13.
Houston led by as many as 18 but Denver rallied in the fourth. Jokic's tip with 2:12 left made it 110-106 and after Joe Johnson missed from the corner Gary Harris had a chance to cut it to a point with a 3-pointer. But the Nuggets' leading scorer who finished with six points on 2-of-12 shooting misfired and Harden hit two more free throws to make it 112-106 with 1:17 left.
DIFFERENT DEFENSE SAME RESULT: The Nuggets lost by 25 and 30 points in Houston earlier this season so they changed how they guarded the Rockets on Sunday by switching more on defense. Harden found himself going against the 7-foot Jokic and 6-11 Mason Plumlee a lot of the night. The new look didn't bother him .
"We've seen a lot of defenses and no matter who they put on James it's a pretty good chance he 's going to score " Trevor Ariza said. "We give him the ball and let him make plays. It's been working out for us."
SIDELINE ASSIST: With Houston ahead 106-99 and 4:51 left Ariza tried to save a ball off Harden 's miss as it went into the crowd but a fan sitting courtside grabbed the ball before he could get to it. Ariza pleaded with the referee that he had a chance to save it and then had a lighthearted exchange with the fan.
Output: James Harden
Input: Consider Input: Thomas Homan US Immigration and Customs Enforcementâs acting director told Fox News that the mayorâs warning on Twitter was âbeyond the paleâ and compared her to a gang lookout who tells people when a police car is arriving. Homan said the Justice Department is looking into whether Schaaf obstructed justice.
It was unclear how many people would have eluded capture without the mayorâs warning but Homan squarely blamed her for 800 and said her actions jeopardized officer safety.
âThereâs over 800 significant public safety threat criminals these are people who are here illegally and committed yet another crime been convicted of a crime â he told Fox. â She gave them warning and thereâs 800 that we were unable to locate because of that warning so that communityâs a lot less safe than it would have been.â
Homan âs statement of 800 missed targets â plus the 150 arrests â in only three days suggests an unusually large operation by the agencyâs standards. Two weeks ago it arrested 212 in a five-day operation in the Los Angeles area. A Texas operation in February resulted in 145 arrests over seven days.
Asked about Homan likening her to a gang lookout she said the âTrump administration is trying to distract the American people convince them that these immigrants are dangerous people. That could not be further from the truth and it is based in racism.â
The warring words are the latest sign of escalating tension between California officials and the Trump administration over immigration enforcement and âsanctuaryâ jurisdictions. Homan vowed that immigration agents would have a stronger presence in California since a state law took effect in January to sharply limit cooperation between state and local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities.
Dozens of protesters marching outside the agencyâs offices in San Francisco after Homan spoke chanted âShut down ICE!â David Chiu a Democratic state assemblyman said Trump âhas declared war on our immigrant communities.â
Homan in announcing the arrests late Tuesday renewed his warning that Californiaâs limits on cooperating with ICE in local jails will lead to a bigger presence of immigration agents on the streets.

Q: But courtroom one is now an active crime scene after the dramatic events when former Bosnian Croat military leader Slobodan Praljak tipped the contents of a small brown bottle into his mouth and died shortly afterwards in hospital.
The unprecedented gesture came as Praljak 72 angrily denied being a criminal after judges rejected his appeal and upheld his 20-year jail term for atrocities committed in a breakaway Bosnian Croat statelet during the 1990s wars.
It remains a mystery exactly what Praljak drank and how he managed to evade tight security to smuggle the bottle into the tribunal.
There are also questions about how he acquired the substance and if it was in the fortress-like UN detention centre in The Hague where he was being held.
Under court rules everyone entering the detention centre is subjected to tight security âirrespective of his or her status nationality function or ageâ.

Problem: There's a limit to the Women's March's support for women â and Rose McGowan has apparently met it .
After McGowan argued with a trangender activist who attempted to derail a planned speech about her abuse at the hands of Harvey Weinstein the Women's March hit out at McGowan for her "transphobia" and for "denying" a trans woman's identity.
The Daily Wire covered the incident which took place at a Manhattan Barnes & Noble. While McGowan was giving her speech a "trans activist" heckled her from the audience accusing her of abrogating her responsibility to trans women and failing to acknowledge the violence trans woman face as though McGowan was competing to be the most injured victim of men.
McGowan was confused and then hurt. When the activist was finally removed McGowan broke down.
Please read this interview with the activist who engaged with Rose McGowan last night. Transphobia and denying trans womenâs identities is never okay. The pain we feel does not excuse the pain we cause others. [Link] â Women's March (@womensmarch) February 2 2018

Input: Consider Input: Sarah L. Myers 41 worked as a special ed teacher at North Boone High School in Poplar Grove Illinois â just northeast of Rockford the stateâs third-largest city. The ex-teacher was sentenced to a ten-year prison term after pleading guilty to two sex acts Fox News reported.
The victim who was not a special ed student reported the sexual encounters with the teacher in April and told authorities he had been having regular sexual encounters with Myers since November of last year.
Myers was credited with 261 days of time spent but she will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of her life the judge ruled. She will not be eligible for parole until 85 percent of her sentence has been served.
But during the hearing news broke that yet another student implicated the teacher in a sex act. Myers is now accused of a sexual encounter with a student in nearby Champaign County. She will also face charges in that case officials say.

Input: Consider Input: On Saturday Mark Wahlberg pledged to donate $1.5 million to Time's Up in Michelle Williams's name the amount he was paid to reshoot scenes from All the Money in the World compared to his co-star's $80 per day. But it doesn't change the fact that the actress's salary was still a hell of a lot less than her male co-star's for her work on the film.
According to the Hollywood Reporter Williams earned an eighth of Wahlberg's salary for her leading role in All the Money in the World despite the fact that they shared the screen for about the same amount of time. He reportedly took home $5 million while she walked away with just $625 000.
The massive salary difference may not seem that surprising to many female performers in Hollywood but it's worth noting that Williams has been nominated for four Oscars to Wahlberg's two as Vulture points out. She was also nominated for a Golden Globe for role in the John Paul Getty III biopic.
The pay disparity is a particularly brutal dagger considering how passionate Williams is about the Ridley Scott project. She reportedly gave up her Thanksgiving to reshoot the scenes with Christopher Plummer who replaced disgraced actor Kevin Spacey at the last minute.
"I said I'd be wherever they needed me whenever they needed me " she told USA Today. "And they could have my salary they could have my holiday whatever they wanted. Because I appreciated so much that they were making this massive effort."

Now, solve this instance: Riggio and the company criticized Burkle as an opportunist who sought a stealth takeover of the company. Burkle argued that the Riggio family had failed to prepare Barnes
Noble for digital books and had used the company to profit at shareholders' expense.
"I feel great and I feel relieved " Riggio said after the meeting. "It's been a long four to five months."
Burkle who was not at the shareholder meeting said in a telephone interview that he would now press Barnes
Noble management to support the highest bid that emerges from the sales process. He indicated that he was leaning against making a bid of his own.
Noble put itself up for sale in August about 20 companies have expressed interest in making preliminary bids which are due in October according to people briefed on the process.
Riggio said that had he lost the proxy contest potential bidders could have walked away from the process. It was not clear whether Riggio might bid for the company though the people briefed on the process said that he might eventually partner with a promising suitor.
And while Riggio won Tuesday's board battle he still has a war on his hands.

Question: At a time when so many young Americans are ineligible to even be considered for the military extending protections for "Dreamers" also would have a positive impact on the armed forces former Defense Secretary Robert Gates wrote in a column for The New York Times.
"That is why we need legislation that will provide a pathway to citizenship for those immigrants who among other attributes are serving or have served in the military whether they are in America legally or were brought here illegally as children " Gates wrote for the NYT.
"That kind of policy will help the military recruit new service members and improve readiness " Gates wrote.
"In light of the service and sacrifice of those immigrants — legal or not — it is also the right thing to do " Gates wrote.

Question: Amber Harding a staff attorney at the Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless said her organization is arguing for multiple changes to the legislation including requirements for proof of residency and the creation of a presumption absent proof to the contrary that anyone named as an occupant on a lease is ineligible for shelter.
She said both provisions would be especially burdensome for the young parents â commonly between the ages of 18 and 24 â who often seek shelter since they may not have adequate documentation of where they live or may still be listed on leases at the homes of parents unwilling to host their families.
âThe purpose of the right to shelter is to prevent people from freezing to death â Harding said. With the current bill she added âWe will guarantee that people will be left out on freezing nights who are D.C. residents and are eligible for shelter just because theyâve put up these bureaucratic hurdles.â
Nadeau said the bill has evolved in a way that softens some of the original shelter eligibility rules proposed by the mayor. It now includes a provision that shelter applicants would meet the residence requirement if they are already receiving certain other D.C. government benefits for the poor she said. The bill has also been modified to require only one proof of residency rather than the original two she said.
âWhen we say that we canât keep spending $80 000 a night . . . itâs not because we donât want to support the people in hotels â she said. âItâs because we want a better intervention for them. We can spend $80 000 a night in so many ways that help people more.â

[EX Q]: For his profession Lowell Bailey wears a .22 caliber rifle strapped to his back. It has taken him across the world and to four Olympic Games most recently to the biathlon mixed relay Tuesday night at Alpensia Biathlon Centre where he skied the anchor leg for a United States team that finished 15th. His sport and his livelihood revolve around shooting. His competitors from other countries often wonder about his country's relationship with guns.
Biathlon and mass murder of innocent people share no connective tissue other than the broadest definition of the tool used. Even understanding that intellectual fact Bailey and his teammates often experience a visceral need to reconcile the shooting portion of their sport and the destruction guns have caused in their country. They are shooting rifles while representing a country where debates over gun control have once again become a central issue.
Tuesday night under the lights and in front of a packed grandstand Bailey spoke out.
"I support an assault weapons ban " Bailey said. "I really do. Our country needs to wake up. Our country needs to change. There's just no excuse. I compete against all of these other World Cup nations â Germany Norway. How good are they on the range? They're great at rifle marksmanship. Do you know how strict their gun controls law are? It's a travesty America hasn't changed and continues to go down this path. It just makes me want to cry."
"We're really aware we are a firearm sport that we are a shooting sport " Firesteel Reid said. "A lot of us have pretty strong opinions about this. I think we get grouped into a certain type of person and I don't think any of us are that type of person. That has been quite fascinating."
While the rules here are extreme U.S. gun laws confound biathletes from other countries. Bailey said he has discussed the U.S. laws with rivals and mostly they are left at a loss.
"They're absolutely baffled " Bailey said. "They're baffled at the political landscape of the United States and how we can continue to put assault weapons in the hands of anyone who wants to walk into a gun store and buy one."
"We're a sport that uses a .22 caliber rifle " Bailey said. "A .22 caliber rifle with a bolt action that shoots a single round is a much different thing than an AR-15. In my opinion there's just no reason for assault rifles to be in the hands of ordinary citizens. I understand the Second Amendment. I appreciate hunting. I appreciate rifle marksmanship. You're talking about rifles. You're talking about targets. You're not talking about weapons that are designed to kill people.

[EX Q]: 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.

Example Input: It started when White read a news report that Dr. Donald Cline a retired Indianapolis fertility specialist faced charges for lying when he denied he 'd inseminated unwitting patients with his own sperm decades earlier. He searched out Cline 's address online recognizing it as the location of his mother's former doctor. Then he Googled the doctor's name. When a photo popped up he was stunned: He looked like Cline .
"It was just too similar to be coincidental " he says. White had long known he was a donor baby but that day he had an eerie feeling he was staring at the man who was likely his biological father.
Around the same time Julie Harmon saw a TV news story about Cline . She'd discovered years earlier that her blood type indicated she was not the child of both her parents. She didn't follow up to find out why but the report about Cline her mother's fertility doctor was unnerving.
The TV story featured Jacoba Ballard whose mother had also gone to Cline and whose complaint to the state helped launched an investigation. Harmon contacted Ballard through Facebook and they traded photos. There were striking similarities.
These two women and White recently crowded into an Indianapolis courtroom to hear Cline receive a one-year suspended sentence for lying to investigators when he denied wrongdoing; DNA tests determined he is the biological father of Ballard and another woman whose mother was his patient. Cline apologized "for the pain my actions have caused" but didn't specify how often he used his own sperm in procedures â court documents say he told Ballard about 50 times.
Cline 's sentencing though was not the end of this story. Instead in an extraordinary epilogue three one-time strangers â White Harmon and Ballard â have forged a kinship as brother and sisters even as they wrestle with the revelation about their identities. They've also reached out to 21 other men and women all in their 30s who've been identified through DNA tests as half-siblings â evidence they say that Cline is likely their father as well. About a half-dozen of them live in central Indiana.
Many stay in touch through a private Facebook page and several gathered last fall for a cookout with their spouses children and three mothers who'd been Cline patients. Others have gone on social outings shared childhood photos taken note of similarities (most of the men are over 6 feet tall) and at times confided in one another private details of their lives.
Jacoba Ballard was angry when she sat in court in December describing a three-year ordeal that determined Cline is her biological father.
Ballard 37 says Cline told her mother he used donor sperm from medical residents. She 'd known since she was 10 that she was a donor child but in 2014 Ballard grew curious about her family history and thought she might be able to track down some brothers and sisters. She took a DNA test from 23andMe.com a biotech company that uses saliva samples to determine ancestry and identify distant and close relatives health risks and physical traits.
Clients can choose whether to be identified in a "DNA relatives tool" that connects them to others. When Ballard's results came back they listed seven half-siblings all but one identified by name. Ballard and two others got together assembled a family tree and realized one common thread: Their mothers had gone to Cline for fertility treatments.
Ballard and a half-sister arranged to meet with two of Cline 's adult children. At first she says they denied their father had been a donor then said he'd done so in a small number of cases. About a month later Ballard and a group of the half-siblings met with Cline himself and she says he told conflicting stories finally saying he'd donated sperm about 50 times to help unknowing patients who desperately wanted children.
When Ballard filed a complaint with the Indiana attorney general's office Cline responded in a letter that anyone accusing him of being a donor "was guilty of slander and/or libel." At his sentencing he acknowledged using his sperm. "I was foolish in my actions and I should not have lied " he said.
Ballard's DNA match to Cline was 99.9997 court records show.
The case wasn't the first of its kind. In Virginia Dr. Cecil Jacobson was convicted in 1992 of fraud and perjury for using his sperm to impregnate patients without telling them. Cline was convicted of obstruction of justice for lying to investigators but a measure pushed by Ballard and others was introduced in the Indiana Senate this year to make it a crime for doctors to treat patients for infertility by using their own sperm or egg without consent. The measure didn't receive a hearing so it's dead for this session; its sponsor has not yet decided if he'll reintroduce it.
If there is any comfort she says it's in the camaraderie that's developed among several half-siblings. They've gotten together for concerts an occasional softball game for one of their kids and a few Christmas celebrations. White and Harmon attended the high school graduation ceremonies of Ballard's two children and the two women speak every day. They laugh about their similar tastes; they even prefer the same order at McDonald's â no onions.
"I went from not having a care to wanting to know everything " says the 34-year-old White. He tracked down a medical school graduation photo of Cline and studied photos of Cline's son online noticing similar facial traits â a round face and high forehead.

Example Input: Another recent poll obtained by Breitbart News shows that Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN-07) has a big lead over Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) among Tennessee Republican primary voters.
Marsha Blackburn is viewed favorably by nearly half of Republican voters (47%) and has ample room to grow with around 2 in 5 who either donât recognize her or who do recognize her but havenât formed an opinion yet (16% & 20%). In contrast a majority of Republican primary voters are split on Corker (39% favorable 41% unfavorable) leaving only 1 in 5 who have yet to form an opinion. This translates into a 19-point lead for Blackburn on the primary ballot.
Ragnar Research Associates concluded that â Marsha Blackburn has a strong lead in a hypothetical matchup versus Senator Bob Corker among Republican primary voters (+19). Her lead is significant among self-identified conservatives (70% of Republican primary voters) and her image (fav/unfav) is in a much stronger position than Senator Corkerâs. (+31 for Blackburn versus -2 for Corker) â adding:
Furthermore Blackburn has room to grow as 36% of Republicans donât know her or havenât formed an opinion of her. The opportunity especially exists in East Tennessee where her ballot lead is only +7 compared to middle Tennessee and west Tennessee (areas she has represented in the House) where her ballot lead is +24 and +31 respectively. As Blackburn becomes more known across the state she has the opportunity to build upon her already strong image and solidity Republican support heading into the 2018 general election.
A Senate Conservatives Fund poll released last week prior to the withdrawal of former Rep. Stephen Fincher (R-TN-08) from the race showed Blackburn with a 49 percent to 26 percent lead over Corker with Fincher in third place with nine percent.
A subsequent poll released by the Committee to Defend the President that did not included Fincher showed Blackburn with a 55 percent to 26 percent lead over Corker.
Corker announced on September 26 that he would not be seeking a third term in the United States. Blackburn announced her candidacy the following month.

Q: The department's narcotics division began the investigation when a source told them about the group officials said. The buys were conducted by undercover officers who infiltrated the group according to Anthony Riccio chief of the department's organized crime division.
Riccio said there are “dozens and dozens of these secret groups a lot of them used for illegal things including trafficking the guns and firearms. It's dozens of them out there.”
He said many of the guns had defaced serial numbers making them difficult to trace. “These are guns that are winding up in the South Side West Side of the city being used in gang shootings ” Riccio said.
He said the Facebook group selling guns and drugs would not be found by searching and that someone had to vouch for anyone who wanted to join them.
“I absolutely think Facebook has a responsibility to monitor this and for this very reason ” Riccio said. “There’s other illegal activities — I want to point out this is phase one — there's other illegal activities going on on Facebook. We're looking at potentially human trafficking things of that nature as well. There's a lot of tentacles going out here.

Q: Ben Zobrist? Kyle Schwarber? Kris Bryant? Anthony Rizzo? The Cubs donât seem worried as they scored 822 runs last season despite Schwarberâs struggles eventually dropping him from that spot. Assuming they donât acquire a leadoff specialist theyâll likely rely on a combination of players seeking to provide the production Dexter Fowler supplied in 2016.
The Cubs had minus-9 defensive runs saved at that position last year. Without a strikeout-heavy rotation defense takes on a greater role. Schwarber has slimmed down to help his agility. Ian Happ has been prone to taking curious routes to the ball. Ben Zobrist isnât fast but he âs dependable.
Zobrist turns 37 on May 26 and he played in only 128 games in 2017 because of wrist and back injuries. Manager Joe Maddon faces the delicate balance of getting Zobrist ready without taxing him . Happ is lined up to receive more playing time to preserve Zobristâs health.

Question: Wa Lone 31 and Kyaw Soe Oo 27 were detained on Dec. 12 after they had been invited to meet police officers over dinner. Family members have said the two told them they were arrested almost immediately after being handed some documents by the officers they had gone to meet.
“They arrested us and took action against us because we were trying to reveal the truth ” Wa Lone told reporters as he and Kyaw Soe Oo were led out of the court and back to Yangon’s Insein prison after the 30-minute hearing.
In the court Kyaw Soe Oo embraced his wife and held his daughter for a couple of minutes. His daughter began to weep as he was escorted away and he had to hand her back to other family members.
Wa Lone’s wife gave him a few small pieces of cake that she had brought.

Question: Texas guard Andrew Jones is battling leukemia the school announced Wednesday.
Jones is the Longhornsâ second-leading scorer this season and was coming off a wrist injury when coaches noticed he was sluggish and playing with little energy. A sophomore who decided to return to school this year instead of entering the NBA draft Jones saw limited action the last two games as he attempted to come back from the injury that cost him four games last month. Something much more serious was at play.
âAfter undergoing a number of tests and evaluations over the past week Andrew has been diagnosed with leukemia â the Jones family said in a statement. â He has begun treatments and we hope everyone will keep him in your thoughts and prayers.â
In statement posted on Twitter Texas athletics director Chris Del Conte pledged the schoolâs full support and said âWe will do everything in our power to provide all of the resources we can to assist Andrew and his family.â
Last Thursday Texas coach Shaka Smart indicated Jones âhas not had the energy â and âweâre trying to figure out through the different testing what his ailment is. Thereâs something else some type of sickness.â

"Speaking for our entire team and staff we love Andrew and will do everything we can to support his family and help him get back to health â Smart said in a statement. âI want to thank everyone for being respectful of the privacy that the Jones family needs at this time.â
Jones played 11 minutes on Jan. 1 and the school said he saw limited action because Jones was under the weather according to reports.
âIâd love to have him back to 1 000 percent today. But he âs not just been feeling like himself â Smart had said. âItâs not for lack of trying ⦠He goes out there and really really wants to play obviously and wants to help his team. But he just to this point has not had the energy.â
Jones has started treatment which can vary depending on how fast his leukemia is growing. For more aggressive strains treatment would include chemotherapy radiation and possibly stem-cell transplants.
Answer: Andrew Jones
Question: Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart is going to court to unmask the person who alleged in emails to politicians Chicago police investigators and journalists that Dart attacked his wife at their South Side home.
Dart filed the legal papers Wednesday in his personal capacity not as sheriff and hired lawyer John F. Winters Jr. who specializes in defamation cases. Such court filings are often a prelude to a defamation lawsuit filed against the person behind anonymous emails or web postings.
“ Tom has been subjected to sustained attacks on his integrity and even threats to his life during his tenure as sheriff ” said Dennis Culloton who is acting as Dart ’s personal spokesman in a statement. “Over the past several months these attacks have escalated to include false and vicious rumors involving his wife and family perpetuated by cowards who hide behind fake email addresses and anonymous blogs. Through this filing we hope to hold those people accountable.”
The first of two October emails cited in the filing allege Dart “committed a Domestic Battery” on his wife “causing visible injuries to her face” that were observed by responding Chicago and Cook County sheriff’s police on either Oct. 11 or 12. They allege a police report was taken but that the attacker was listed as “unknown” and that a 911 call was placed to Dart ’s home.
“This incident is being attempted to be swept under the rug ” the email’s author who describes himself as a “Cook County taxpayer” named “Dan ” writes. “Tom Dart should not be able to get away with this!”
Records show a complaint was also made to a Chicago police oversight agency in October alleging that police refused to act or take reports “in regards to an incident that occurred at Sheriff Tom Dart’s home that involved his wife and his girlfriend.”

Q: CBS News has suspended veteran journalist Charlie Rose after eight women accused him of sexual misconduct in interviews with The Washington Post. Three additional unnamed women came forward in a story published by Business Insider later on Monday.
Interested in Charlie Rose ? Add Charlie Rose as an interest to stay up to date on the latest Charlie Rose news video and analysis from ABC News. Add Interest
" Charlie Rose is suspended immediately while we look into this matter. These allegations are extremely disturbing and we take them very seriously " CBS News said in a statement.
Five women told The Washington Post that Rose an anchor for "CBS This Morning " groped them; two said that he walked naked in front of them; and one accused Rose of firing her after he allegedly touched her inappropriately and made sexually charged remarks to her.
The newspaper reported that Rose 's accusers either worked with or aspired to work with him on his PBS show "Charlie Rose " from the late 1990s to 2011. At the time of the alleged incidents the women ranged in age from 21 to 37 according to the newspaper.
Rose issued an apology to the Post and later he shared it on Twitter.
My statement in full. pic.twitter.com/3kvFrqF2dT — Charlie Rose (@charlierose) November 20 2017
Kyle Godfrey-Ryan a former assistant to Rose in the mid-2000s and one of the three accusers who spoke to the Post on the record claimed that Rose walked nude in front of her at one of his homes in New York City and called her in the wee hours to describe fantasies of watching her swim naked. She said that she reported his calls to Rose 's longtime executive producer Yvette Vega who apparently told her "That's just Charlie being Charlie." Vega told the Post and later confirmed to ABC News that she regretted not doing more for Godfrey-Ryan and others who mounted similar complaints.
“I should have stood up for them ” she said. “I failed. It is crushing. I deeply regret not helping them.”
Godfrey-Ryan said that ultimately Rose fired her and she later left journalism.
“He took me out to lunch and told me how embarrassed he was how he didn’t treat me like that ” she said. “It was really about how I got it wrong and obviously I couldn’t work there anymore.”
Reah Bravo who worked alongside Rose beginning in 2007 claimed to the Post that she was groped -- sometimes forcefully -- by Rose on more than one occasion. In 2008 she said that as she prepared to accept a new job Rose offered her a position in Washington D.C. and the opportunity to live in his Georgetown residence. She declined.
“I was leaving because I was getting away ” she said. “I would never want to live someplace where he had keys.”
Megan Creydt the third woman who spoke to the Post on the record overlapped with Godfrey-Ryan when she worked as a coordinator on Rose 's show from 2005 to 2006. Creydt claimed that Rose put his hand on her thigh which alarmed her .
"I don’t think I said anything ” she said. “I tensed up. I didn’t move his hand off but I pulled my legs to the other side of the car. I tried not to get in a car with him ever again. I think he was testing me out.”
In a statement to ABC News Yvette Vega executive producer on “ Charlie Rose ” said: “I should have stood up for them. I failed. It is crushing. I deeply regret not helping them.”

Q: But Pat Robertson doesn’t see it that way. In his mind this nation’s unfolding tragedy is a direct fault of people who don’t respect Donald Trump and the American flag enough. Yes really.
What are Pat Robertson’s possible motives here? While people still fought for their lives after the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history why did a televangelist feel the need to issue a statement this useless? He wasn’t trying to provide comfort. He wasn’t helping to make sense of the tragedy because his thoughts here are violently stupid.
Robertson wasn’t trying to be helpful. He was trying to insert himself into a story that had nothing to do with him. He couldn’t help it. He can never help it. Because Pat Robertson is an evil man . He ’s been so evil for so long that one has to wonder whose side he ’s on.
Let’s do a quick topline comparison between Satan the Prince of Darkness and Pat Robertson the Prince of Doddering.
Robertson has spent decades lying and obfuscating throwing himself into the middle of discussions in which he wasn’t invited to offer opinions that nobody wanted. He ’s weighed in on the Iraq War 9/11 sex outside of marriage Hinduism the earthquake in Haiti abortion and every other topic du jour tragic or zeitgeist that can help boost Pat Robertson Awareness. He ’s thrown his fortunes in with warlords hucksters and profiteers.
He ’s claimed he can leg-press 2 000 pounds thanks to the aid of a protein shake.
Pat Robertson has built a billion-dollar empire by saying he ’s a person who knows what God wants other people to do. As host of The 700 Club he ’s spent thousands of hours on the bleakest television channel preaching to his followers about how they can emulate Jesus how they can send him money in an extremely holy way. Meanwhile he has lived a life of wealth and privilege at the expense of dupes.
What Robertson has said about Las Vegas is so much worse than his usual praying for attention. He ’s rebranding cruelty as sanctimony nastiness as wisdom. He ’s the answer to the question “What Wouldn’t Jesus Do?”
What’s the difference between Pat Robertson and Satan? Satan’s not real. Unfortunately Pat Robertson is.

Q: * Democratic governor candidate Chris Kennedy will meet with voters at a Brown Line stop then later have a announcement with Chicago principals association President Troy LaRaviere.
* Kennedy tosses out the term "immoral" regarding Pritzker Biss: Democratic governor candidate Chris Kennedy ramped up his rhetoric against rivals J.B. Pritzker and state Sen. Daniel Biss on Tuesday questioning their morals and ethics while billing himself as the one who has the âmoral frameworkâ to govern.
The campaigns of Pritzker and Biss fired back accusing Kennedy of having acted in ways he is criticizing.
Surrounded by supportive African-American clergy at a Bronzeville campaign stop Kennedy labeled as âimmoralâ assessment reductions Pritzker sought for his property and asked âDo you want someone who says âWhat I did do was legal therefore itâs right?â That is not the ethical the moral framework that we want as the leader of our state.â
Kennedy went on to criticize Biss an Evanston lawmaker for his sponsorship of legislation later deemed unconstitutional that would have reduced pension benefits to public employee retirees. Biss âepitomizes the brutality of government (with) the idea that he would go and take away the retirement security from hundreds of thousands of people living in our state and do it illegally â Kennedy said.
Asked later by a reporter if he was claiming he was the only moral candidate in the contest Kennedy said âI claim no morality myself.â But in earlier remarks he said of himself âDo you want someone to lead this state whoâs prepared to lead who has a moral framework and ethical background who understands the difference between right and wrong?â (Rick Pearson)
*Pritzker hits back: Pritzker campaign manager Anne Caprara accused Kennedy of resorting âto the Donald Trump playbook of calling names.â
âWe understand Chris Kennedy really wants to win but for him to question the morality of his opponents is frankly disturbing â Caprara said in a statement.
*So does Biss: Biss campaign spokesman Tom Elliott noted Kennedy âs use of the property tax assessment appeal system including getting a reduction for the familyâs Wolf Point development.
âChris Kennedy has no moral authority here â Elliott said in a statement.
âBoth Kennedy and Pritzker have taken advantage of a broken system they now want to fix â Elliot said. âAnd while hiring well-connected lawyers or ripping toilets out of their homes to reduce their property taxes arenât technically illegal they do raise serious moral and ethical questions and puts into perspective where their priorities were before they decided to bankroll their campaigns for governor."

Problem: "I assure you that we don't want bags of cash " Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin testified on Tuesday during an appearance before the House Financial Services Committee. "We want to make sure that we can collect our necessary taxes and other things."
Last week a top Treasury official wrote in a letter to lawmakers that the department is "consulting with law enforcement" about whether to maintain the guidance for depository institutions. Last month a Mnuchin deputy testified at a Senate hearing that the banking document remains in effect while the administration weighs whether to revoke it.
At the Tuesday hearing Mnuchin confirmed that the department is "reviewing the existing guidance." But he clarified that he doesn't want to rescind it without having an alternate policy in place to address public safety concerns.
Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) told Mnuchin that simply deleting the banking memo "would really make it better for armed robbers in my community because there'd be huge amounts of cash at the local marijuana dispensary."
"We specifically haven't taken it down " Mnuchin said of the 2014 memo. "We are looking at what Justice has done. And again as I said we're sensitive to the issue of dealing with the public safety issue and also making sure that the IRS and others have ways of collecting taxes without taking in cash."

OK. solve this:
A Cook County Stateâs Attorney asked the detective Reynaldo Guevara 74 to review police reports and testimony he âd previously given in the case. Guevara refused quickly flipping the pages and then handing them back.
Seated in the courtroom gallery were family members of 11 people who say Guevara framed them and four more people whom Guevara helped put in prison but whose convictions have since been overturned.
âThis morning I prayed that maybe God would touch his heart and he would tell the truth â said Esther Hernandez the mother of two sons who claim Guevara framed them in a 1997 murder.
âThatâs an acute case of amnesia â said Jose Montanez who was exonerated last year of a 1993 murder after spending 23 years in prison. Guevara was one of the lead detectives on his case.
Since 2009 when a federal jury issued a record $21 million to a man whom Guevara was found to have framed the retired detective has repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment and refused to testify.
But earlier this year Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx offered Guevara immunity in exchange for his testimony. His lawyers argued he would still be vulnerable to perjury charges.
Todayâs hearing was part of an appeal by two defendants Gabriel Solache and Arturo Reyes who say that Guevara beat confessions out of them. Prosecutors called Guevara to the stand to rebut that claim. Since he testified he didnât remember the case prosecutors asked the court to allow Guevaraâs previous testimony from two court appearance in 2000.
âI hope people know how fucked up that is â said Jennifer Bonjean an attorney representing other Guevara clients. âItâs pretty mindblowing that the state is literally vouching for the prior testimony when Guevara wonât himself .â
An attorney for Solache Karen Daniel told the court that Guevara was âdisavowing his prior testimonyâ in the 2000 case and that he âs essentially pleading the Fifth âunder a different guise.â
The state has called several other officers prosecutors and medical personnel who were at the police station the night of the alleged beating. They testified that neither defendant complained of abuse. A paramedic called to the stand today testified he conducted medical evaluations of both defendants two days after Guevara allegedly beat them and didnât note signs of abuse.
In 2013 Chicago hired a law firm to conduct an independent investigation of allegations of misconduct by Guevara . Those investigators rejected Solache and Reyesâs innocence claims but called the case against them âvery thin.â

Now, solve this: Hurricane Irma Leaves Devastation Of 'Epic Proportions' In Caribbean
A string of tiny Caribbean islands have been left stunned and devastated by the destructive force of Hurricane Irma one of the strongest storms ever to hit the region. Some islands appear to have been spared but others suffered loss of life and damage on a near-apocalyptic scale.
In Barbuda communications were severed as Irma made landfall just before midnight on Tuesday. Antigua 25 miles to the south dodged the full force of the storm prompting Prime Minister Gaston Browne at first to declare it a miracle that his nation had been spared.
"I journeyed to Barbuda this afternoon and what I saw was heart-wrenching absolutely devastating " Browne said on state-owned television Wednesday afternoon. "In fact I believe that on a per capita basis the extent of the destruction in Barbuda is unprecedented. And it is unprecedented based on the type of storm. Hurricane Irma would have been easily the most powerful hurricane to have stormed through the Caribbean and it is extremely unfortunate that Barbuda was right in its path."
Some six hours later Irma smashed into St. Martin about 60 miles northwest of Barbuda. The island was directly in the storm's path and the half-French half-Dutch island suffered horrendously as a result.
North of St. Martin the low-lying British island of Anguilla took what U.K. Foreign Office Minister Alan Duncan described as the full force of Irma.
The British and U.S. Virgin Islands popular tourist and charter boat destinations were next in the path of Hurricane Irma. The outer bands of the approaching storm began to lash the islands early Wednesday afternoon.
"We are very grateful to be able to report that all of our team on Island have been accounted for as safe as well. Necker Island felt the effects of Hurricane Irma and sustained extensive damage the extent of which we are still assessing."
Although Irma passed just north of Puerto Rico sparing it a full-on hit from the storm the island's precarious electrical infrastructure couldn't withstand the glancing blow. More than 1 million Puerto Ricans were reportedly without electricity.
Like the Dominican Republic Haiti is only getting a sideswipe from Irma but unlike its neighbor on the island of Hispaniola the land in French-speaking Haiti has been largely denuded of trees leaving it especially vulnerable to landslides and flooding from heavy rains.
"It looks like Haiti won't get a direct hit from Irma and that's fortunate because the country is still struggling to recover from Hurricane Matthew which wiped out the country nearly a year ago " said Hervil Cherubin country director for Heifer International a nonprofit working with 15 000 farming families across Haiti.

Input: Consider Input: It was supposed to be a triumphant year for White House Senior Adviser Jared Kushner . Part of the team that guided his father-in-law to victory in 2016 the young Kushner was catapulted into the highest echelons of power.
He was handed a broad portfolio that included making peace in the Middle East and was reportedly a key part of Trumpâs inner circle and decision-making team. But as 2017 dragged on the man known as Mr. Perfect had anything but a perfect year.
Here are Kushner âs worst moments from 2017:
When Kushner visited Iraq in April he obviously did not want to abandon his dedication to preppy style. But the image of the senior adviser sporting a flak jacket (with âKushnerâ scrawled on it) along with a blazer and khakis brought on a torrent of mockery.
This pic of Jared Kushner in Iraq with a military bullet-proof vest over his usual Thurston Howell III outfit really says it all pic.twitter.com/Qbt90NiqV4 â Amy Westervelt (@amywestervelt) April 6 2017
Although Kushner stepped down as head of Kushner Companies in January his real-estate firm gave him a number of headaches throughout 2017. Perhaps the biggest one was its use of the EB-5 visa program which allows wealthy investors to gain visas in return for investing in the U.S.
Jared and Ivanka are reported to be scaling back their roles in the White House after officials have become annoyed by their presence. The move came shortly after Trumpâs decision to back Sen. Luther Strange in the Alabama Senate primary backfired spectacularly and Strange was crushed by conservative challenger Judge Roy Moore. Kushner was widely believed to have been a key voice in urging Trump to get involved in the race and back Strangeâa decision Trump himself admitted may have been a âmistake.â
Kushner was also widely reported to be a key official encouraging President Trump to fire FBI Director James Comeyâa move which has since turned out to be seen as a mistake as it directly led to the appointment of FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller whose probe has dogged the Trump administration throughout 2017.
FBI Special Counsel Robert Muellerâs appointment was announced in the wake of the firing of FBI Director James Comeyâa decision reportedly backed by Kushner . But as the probe has gone on Kushner has apparently become a key figure for Mueller.
Kushner was part of a 2016 meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer at Trump Towerâa meeting which Trump Jr. said he took as it promised information that would âincriminateâ Hillary Clinton.
Kushner was questioned by Muellerâs team in November during which he reportedly answered questions about a meeting with the Russian ambassador during the transition. It later emerged that Kushner was the âsenior Trump officialâ who directed former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn to contact the ambassador about a U.N. vote on Israeli settlements.
While it is not clear if the Mueller team believes Kushner did anything wrong Muellerâs interest in him has no doubt led to a tough 2017 for Kushner .
Kushner spent much of 2017 aggravating congressional lawmakers with his lack of disclosure about his foreign contacts and other information deemed importantâparticularly over various investigations into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Two Senate committees have complained about his failure to hand over certain documents and that they have learned certain details from the media. Lawmakers on the Senate Intelligence Committee were angered in September when they discovered from media reports that Kushner used a private email account occasionally for White House business.
Lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee wrote to Kushner âs lawyer in November saying the document collection he provided to the committee was incomplete.
Newsweek reported in December that Kushner is still using an interim security clearance after he initially omitted dozens of foreign contracts from his original form submission for clearance.

Mitt Romney the former governor of Massachusetts is now a Senate candidate in Utah â and the announcement of his candidacy shows he âs sensitive about being labeled a carpetbagger.
âUtah â the Republican says at the beginning of a video he shared Friday morning on social media âis admired not only for its beauty but also for the character of its people. Utahns are known for hard work innovation and our can-do pioneering spirit. But more than these weâre known as a people who serve who care and who rise to any occasion.â
It goes on like this for more than two minutes. One reporter joked on Twitter that he lost count of how many times Romney said âUtah.â The strategy telegraphed in recent days is clear and multipronged: Romney who fell short in two previous White House bids and emerged as one of Donald Trumpâs fiercest critics is trying to persuade voters that he is laser-focused on his adopted state and not on the president or the job heâs pined for in the past.
Though on paper this should be a cakewalk â Romney is hardly a stranger in Utah and Democrats have little chance of picking up the seat â two prominent Republicans have made an issue of Romneyâs Trump-bashing and his relocation to the West. One of them State Auditor John Dougall told BuzzFeed News that GOP activists in and outside Utah have been encouraging him after he said this week that he was seriously considering challenging Romney .
Dougall added that Romney had called him Thursday evening to inform him of his imminent announcement which has been anticipated since Sen. Orrin Hatch made his retirement plans known last month. âI wished him all the best â Dougall said of Romney .
A Romney spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Dougall declined to say who is encouraging him to run. But he suggested support would come from those concerned about electing someone who would not be aligned with Trump. For weeks on his Facebook page Dougall has been arguing against a âcoronationâ of Romney .
After the phone interview Dougall added via email: âI should have also mentioned that âIt's clear that Utahns have a very favorable view of Mr. Romney . The odds are strongly in his favor.ââ
Earlier this week Utah Republican Party Chair Rob Anderson noted Romney âs criticism of Trump and spoke dismissively of his Utah credentials in an interview with the Salt Lake Tribune: âI think heâs keeping out candidates that I think would be a better fit for Utah because letâs face it Mitt Romney doesnât live here his kids werenât born here he doesnât shop here.â
Anderson later apologized to Romney .
âIâve no doubt that Mitt Romney satisfies all qualifications to run for Senate â said Anderson in a Wednesday statement posted on Twitter âand as chairman of the Utah Republican Party I will treat all candidates equally to ensure their path to the party nomination is honest and fair.â

Papini disappeared Nov. 2 while jogging near her home in Shasta County about 215 miles north of San Francisco.
Her husband found her phone and earphones near their home after she failed to pick up their children at daycare and called police. He was initially a suspect but the sheriff said Wednesday that the husband passed a lie detector test and offered to take another.
Authorities also said a Detroit man Papini texted and planned to meet shortly before her disappearance has been cleared of involvement.
Papini was found alongside Interstate 5 in Yolo County about 100 miles from her home. Her nose was broken and she was wearing a chain restraint around her waist. Her blonde hair had been cut to shoulder length and she had a "brand" burned into her right shoulder.
Investigators declined to discuss the "brand" in detail. Papini has said she was not sexually assaulted and has described her abductors as two women who took her at gunpoint.
Sheriff's Sgt. Brian Jackson said the sketches drawn by FBI artists are being released 10 months after her disappearance because of Papini 's difficulty in recalling what her abductors looked like.

* * * France isn’t the first killjoy to quit the smartphone party. In 2015 the Canadian artist Garnet Hertz invented a cheeky device called “Phonesafe ” a masochistic lockbox designed to incarcerate smartphones for a set period of time. Hertz meant Phonesafe as a provocation but the same idea quickly became a product. Today you can buy similar but mass-produced containers on Amazon and multi-phone lockers have become a mainstay in corporate offices and schools around the world. A McDonald’s in Singapore has even installed a locker designed to promote “family togetherness” and face-to-face conversation. If you attend a Guns n’ Roses concert or a comedy performance by Dave Chappelle ushers will require you to lock your device in a neoprene pouch and take it into the show in that state. The phone-locking pouch made by a San Francisco company called Yondr has a wide opening at the short end for inserting a smartphone. A magnetic locking mechanism similar to those on anti-theft tags in retail stores engages to hold it closed. After the show this clasp is swiped across a counter-magnet which releases the lock. Yondr is a surefire way to cut down on bootleg YouTube videos. In Wired Alice Gregory recently took a tough look at the device. Gregory recounts her experience at a Chris Rock performance where audience members waiting in the lobby had to forgo smartphone usage. The affair reduced them to “a roomful of jonesing fiends ” as she puts it. Ultimately Gregory connects Yondr to a thorny question about civil liberties: the right of the people to keep and bear smartphones.
It’s an ironic conclusion because Yondr is sold as a tool to provide freedom rather than to take it away. To “Be Here Now ” as the company’s tagline puts it. It’s a promise to deliver presence—a tricky calling to say the least. Presence has a long history in religion and philosophy from Buddhist practices to the metaphysics of the 20th-century philosopher Martin Heidegger. Today presence is most common in the various mindfulness trends that have overtaken individual and corporate life in Silicon Valley in particular—collectively the critic R. John Williams has called them “technê-zen.” Cutting through the history and the rhetoric it’s productive to think about presence in terms of attention. You’re present where you focus your attention—and you only have so much attention to pay. In the case of Chris Rock he wants attention directed toward him live on stage. Rock’s show might involve awkward improvisation or new material that he doesn't want circulated online. Teachers are less concerned about copyright than comedians are but they still demand attention. I have tested Yondr’s effects on mind-wandering in classroom experiments with Dan Smilek of the University of Waterloo Vision and Attention Lab. Our research is based in part on the assumption that instructors want students to focus on the course materials and not on Instagram Facebook or other distractions. Yondr can be a remarkably effective tool for enforcing digital abstinence in these contexts thanks primarily to its portability. Rather than locking away devices inside lockers or even inside a disused Catholic tabernacle as I have done in a performance piece Yondr buffers the anxiety of being isolated from your device.
Given that the mere presence of one’s smartphone can reduce cognitive capacity Yondr offers a way to surf between the waves of a device’s presence and absence. You can hold it but you can’t use it. This might be an especially important balance in classroom situations where students see a teacher’s “phone shoebox” as an unwelcome imposition of authority. * * * Needless to say Yondr is still an imposition. And controlling attention requires more than just locking a device in a binge-breaking neoprene pouch. Joelle Renstrom has reported the results of her own Yondr experiment in a class at Boston University where she had her 30 students lock away their devices over the course of a semester. At first 37 percent of the students found the policy annoying but by the end of the term that figure had dropped to 14 percent. Those are promising if tentative results but Renstrom’s anecdotal comments about the experiment may be more instructive than the data she collected. Renstrom describes her students’ initial experience of Yondr as “akin to caging a pet a clear denial of freedom.” Moreover she observes that some students left their cases unlocked as a sign of rebellion even though they didn’t remove the phones from them. Rather than becoming “active resistors to technology ” as the scholars Christine Satchell and Paul Dourish call people who choose to ignore their devices Yondr users are ultimately the victims of technological disenfranchisement. When implemented as a mandatory smartphone prophylactic Yondr becomes a means of control not of choice let alone of presence.
Such top-down tactics might be enforced easily at live performances as one of my research assistants observed firsthand at a Chris Rock show in Niagara Falls. However as a daily ritual for high-school students all-or-nothing digital abstinence enforced by an authority figure seems destined to backfire possibly leading to rejection—or even worse a legal complaint. In an attempt to tackle this disciplinary problem I have been offering workshops to schoolteachers that riff on and revise the design Yondr originated. In the workshops I provide a kit that allows students to make their own digital abstinence case but with an obnoxiously loud Velcro enclosure rather than a silent magnetic clasp. This semipermeable design—the Resistor Case I call it—is intended to promote self-regulation not authoritarian control. The Velcro acts as a gateway to conscience: It provides just enough resistance and noise to make its owner think twice before opening it. Michael I. Norton Daniel Mochon and Dan Ariely coined the “IKEA effect” to name the increase in value people assign to self-made products. With the Resistor Case I’m counting on a similar effect that students who fist construct and then choose to make use of their DIY phone lockers might be more compelled to use them. Of course the kit will only work if the teacher provides a context for it that includes a discussion of responsible smartphone use. (The kit provides a series of cards to prompt this conversation.)

A woman named Leigh Corfman says that when she was 14 years old in 1979 Roy Moore the current GOP Senate candidate in Alabama initiated a sexual encounter with her when he was 32 years old according to The Washington Post.
Moore approached Corfman outside a courtroom in Alabama the report said while her mother was inside at a child custody hearing and struck up a conversation with her.
He asked for Corfman's phone number and picked up a few days later near her house and drove her to his home in the woods 30 minutes away the report said. Moore told Corfman "how pretty she was and kissed her " the report said.
Moore on a second visit took off Corfman's shirt and pants and he removed his own clothes the report said which added that he touched her over her bra and underwear and " he guided her hand to touch him over his underwear."
Three other women told the Post in recent weeks the report said that Moore pursued them when they were between the ages of 16 and 18 and he was in his early 30s working at the district attorney's office. He gave some of them alcohol -- at a time when the legal drinking age was 19.
Corfman is the only woman who had sexual contact with Moore the report said and they did not have intercourse. The legal age of consent in Alabama is 16 years of age and sexual contact between someone who is 19 years of age or older and a person who is 12 to 16 years of age is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year. The Post points out that enticing a child under 16 years of age into a home with the purpose of proposing sexual contact is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. The statute of limitations on the felony charge would have run out in three years in 1979. Corfman never filed a police report.
"Judge Roy Moore has endured the most outlandish attacks on any candidate in the modern political arena but this story in today's Washington Post alleging sexual impropriety takes the cake. National liberal organizations know their chosen candidate Doug Jones is in a death spiral and this is their last ditch Hail Mary." "The Washington Post has already endorsed the Judge's opponent and for months they have engaged in a systematic campaign to distort the truth about the Judge's record and career and derail his campaign. In fact just two days ago the Foundation for Moral Law sent a retraction demand to the Post for the false stories they wrote about the Judge's work and compensation. But apparently there is no end to what the Post will allege." "The Judge has been married to Kayla for nearly 33 years has 4 children and 5 grandchildren. He has been a candidate in four hotly-contested statewide political contests twice as a gubernatorial candidate and twice as a candidate for chief justice. He has been a three-time candidate for local office and he has been a national figure in two ground-breaking judicial fights over religious liberty and traditional marriage. After over 40 years of public service if any of these allegations were true they would have been made public long before now." "Judge Roy Moore is winning with a double-digit lead. So it is no surprise with just over four weeks remaining in a race for the U.S. Senate with national implications that the Democratic Party and the country's most liberal newspaper would come up with a fabrication of this kind." "This garbage is the very definition of fake news and intentional defamation."
In a statement following the Post's report Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell suggested if the allegations against Moore were in fact true " he must step aside."
National Republican Senate Committee Chairman Cory Gardner echoed those calls calling the allegations "deeply troubling" adding "If these allegations are found to be true Roy Moore must drop out of the Alabama special Senate election."

Los Angeles Times political columnist David Horsey body shamed White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders in his latest anti-Trump hit piece referring to her appearance as like a âchunky soccer mom.â
Horsey originally wrote Wednesday that Sanders âdoes not look like the kind of womanâ that President Trump would chose for the high-profile role assuming he would prefer âsleek beauties with long legs and stiletto heelsâ who could pass for âarm candyâ in addition to serving as the White Houseâs top spokesperson.
âBy comparison Sanders looks more like a slightly chunky soccer mom who organizes snacks for the kidsâ games â Horsey wrote. âRather than the fake eyelashes and formal dresses she puts on for news briefings Sanders seems as if sheâd be more comfortable in sweats and running shoes.â
" Sanders looks more like a slightly chunky soccer mom who organizes snacks for the kidsâ games" - L.A. Times columnist David Horsey
âYet even if Trump privately wishes he had a supermodel for a press secretary he is lucky to have Sanders â he wrote.
Sanders who was promoted from deputy press secretary when Sean Spicer stepped down earlier this year is the daughter of former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. She has been working in politics her entire adult life and is well respected among GOP insiders.
However the Times columnist went on to call Sanders a liar a âfailureâ and a âproâ at being ignorant. He also in another recent column about the recent allegations of powerful men sexually harassing women referred to Trump as a âsexually aggressive creep.â
Itâs curious to think what Horsey who is politically correct when itâs convenient would feel about fat shaming Sanders on a day when it doesnât fit his anti-Trump agenda.

Example Input: Amber Harding a staff attorney at the Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless said her organization is arguing for multiple changes to the legislation including requirements for proof of residency and the creation of a presumption absent proof to the contrary that anyone named as an occupant on a lease is ineligible for shelter.
She said both provisions would be especially burdensome for the young parents â commonly between the ages of 18 and 24 â who often seek shelter since they may not have adequate documentation of where they live or may still be listed on leases at the homes of parents unwilling to host their families.
âThe purpose of the right to shelter is to prevent people from freezing to death â Harding said. With the current bill she added âWe will guarantee that people will be left out on freezing nights who are D.C. residents and are eligible for shelter just because theyâve put up these bureaucratic hurdles.â
Nadeau said the bill has evolved in a way that softens some of the original shelter eligibility rules proposed by the mayor. It now includes a provision that shelter applicants would meet the residence requirement if they are already receiving certain other D.C. government benefits for the poor she said. The bill has also been modified to require only one proof of residency rather than the original two she said.
âWhen we say that we canât keep spending $80 000 a night . . . itâs not because we donât want to support the people in hotels â she said. âItâs because we want a better intervention for them. We can spend $80 000 a night in so many ways that help people more.â

Example Input: H.R. McMaster U.S. President Donald Trump's national security adviser said at the Munich Security Conference that the federal indictments showed the U.S. was becoming "more and more adept at tracing the origins of this espionage and subversion."
"As you can see with the FBI indictment the evidence is now really incontrovertible and available in the public domain " McMaster told a Russian delegate to the conference.
McMaster also scoffed at the suggestion that the U.S. would work with Russia on cyber security issues.
"I'm surprised there are any Russian cyber experts available based on how active most of them have been undermining our democracies in the West " he said to laughter. "So I would just say that we would love to have a cyber dialogue when Russia is sincere."

As he continues to back up through the street one officer pulls out his Taser and after the other officer is heard shouting "tase him " fires it. Chatfield is knocked to the ground instantly.
The city agreed to pay $900 000 to Chatfield's family over the incident one of the fastest settlements in a Taser case in the state ever according to the family's lawyer. Chatfield remains in the hospital after suffering bleeding on his brain due to the fall according to ABC affiliate WCIV.

New input case for you: Actress Jennifer Lawrence has a “pretty good speech” prepared for when she meets President Donald Trump.
Though the actress has never met Trump she revealed in an interview last year that she had once come close to crossing paths with the president at a concert. Lawrence told the UK’s Graham Norton Show that she had been at a concert and heard Trump was in attendance and ordered her security team to find the then-presidential candidate.
“Because I was adamant on finding him and then making a video of me going ‘Hey Trump f*ck you!'” she said then.
Lawrence has been a vocal critic of Trump since well before the November 2016 presidential election.
And just a few days after the election Lawrence penned an essay urging liberals to become energized by Trump’s victory.
Lawrence announced this year that she would take a hiatus from acting. Her last film the horror thriller mother! marked the worst opening-weekend box office of her career and earned a rare “F” CinemaScore from audiences.
The actress has also begun working with Represent.us an organization working to end political corruption.

PROBLEM: (CNN) Iraq war veteran Taylor Winston became a hero on the night of the mass shooting in Las Vegas after he used a stranger's truck to rush critically wounded victims to the hospital.
Now Winston has a new truck of his own.
An Arizona car dealership rewarded him Monday with a free customized Ford F-150 in appreciation for his bravery and quick thinking on October 1 when Winston made two trips to the hospital while officials were still scrambling to get ambulances to the concert venue. Winston credited his military training for helping him keep a "cool head."
"It was still quite scary but we just knew they (the victims) had to get to the hospital immediately " Winston told CNN's Anderson Cooper last week. "No ambulances were immediately available. There was far too many casualties for anyone to handle."

PROBLEM: The ombudsman says it is investigating claims President Rodrigo Duterte 's bank accounts had hundreds of millions of pesos (millions of dollars) which he failed to disclose as required by law (AFP Photo/NOEL CELIS)
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has said he would not cooperate with a special anti-corruption prosecutor's investigation into allegations he acquired ill-gotten wealth vowing he would "not submit" to its authority.
The ombudsman said last week it was investigating claims Duterte 's bank accounts had hundreds of millions of pesos (millions of dollars) which he failed to disclose as required by law.
Duterte responded by lashing out at the ombudsman calling the agency "lousy" and saying allegations against him were "lies based on baseless" information.
"I will not submit to the jurisdiction (of the ombudsman) " Duterte said in a curse-laden speech to local lawyers on Saturday night.
"Waving fabricated evidence lying to his teeth in front of the nation and then you want me to submit to the jurisdiction of the ombudsman " Duterte said referring to Deputy Ombudsman Melchor Arthur Carandang who had announced the probe.
Duterte 's remarks contradicted his spokesman's statement last week that the president respected the ombudsman and trusted its impartiality.
Duterte 72 won last year's presidential elections on a brutal law-and-order and anti-corruption platform.
During the election campaign Duterte had said he came from a poor family and lived a modest lifestyle which boosted his image as an anti-establishment politician representing the common folk analysts said.
The ombudsman probe stemmed from a plunder complaint filed before the elections by opposition senator Antonio Trillanes who alleged Duterte embezzled government funds during his more than two-decade stint as mayor of the southern city of Davao.
On Saturday Duterte said his family had properties and businesses including an ice plant and lumberyard adding his late father was a provincial governor.

PROBLEM: Norwegian authorities were told that Ebadi's medal was seized "within the last week or so" from a safe-deposit box in Iran along with personal effects including the diploma awarded with the medal the Foreign Ministry said. Spokeswoman Ragnhild Imerslund said Norwegian authorities have been "in touch" with Ebadi since the incident.
Ebadi a human rights lawyer won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2003 for her efforts in promoting democracy. She has long faced harassment from Iranian authorities for her activities -- including a raid on her office last year in which files were confiscated.
Ebadi was out of the country at the time of the vote and has not returned since saying she is "in an effective state of exile."
The opposition claims that hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's re-election was fraudulent. Ebadi urged the international community to reject the outcome and called for a new vote monitored by the United Nations. She has strongly criticized the clerical leadership's postelection crackdown on dissent. During the past months hundreds of pro-reform activists have been arrested and a mass trial has sentenced dozens to prison terms.
Ebadi could not be reached on Thursday for comment.
Ebadi said in an interview published Nov. 17 in the Italian daily Corriere della Sera that her apartment pension and her bank account and those of her relatives had been seized along with her Nobel and Legion of Honor.
"I live in an effective state of exile " she was quoted as saying from a hotel in New York where she had been attending U.N. meetings. "They say I owe them $410 000 in back taxes because of the Nobel; it's a complete lie given that the Iranian fiscal law says that prizes are excluded."
She nevertheless said she plans to return to Iran when she can be more useful in the country than outside it.
"Nothing frightens me any more even if they threaten to arrest me for fiscal evasion upon my return " she said.

OK. solve this:
The inauguration of President Trump on Jan. 20 2017. (Jonathan Newton /The Washington Post)
During his campaign and tumultuous first year in office President Trump demonstrated little knowledge of policy details. He was not interested in advice that conflicted with his instincts and it was often impossible for White House staff to figure out what course he wanted to take. One compared it to âtrying to figure out what a child wants.â
Trump is depicted as presiding over a chaotic White House struggling to settle into his new reality and eagerly trying to maintain his normal golf habits.
In the book set to be officially released next week Wolff writes that Trump became upset that he couldnât give a Supreme Court seat to a friend rather than someone he didnât know. He casts Trump as having âlittle or no interestâ in Republican attempts to overhaul the Affordable Care Act. And Wolff says aides were incredulous over Trumpâs claims that President Obama had âwiretappedâ Trump Tower during the 2016 campaign.
Trump aides vigorously sought to undermine the book on Wednesday with White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders saying in a statement that it is âfilled with false and misleading accounts from individuals who have no access or influence with the White House.â
Wolff says that his book is based on 200 conversations over the past 18 months with Trump most members of his senior staff some of whom he talked to dozens of times and many people with whom they had spoken. Some conversations were on the record while others were off the record or on âdeep background â allowing him to relay a âdisembodied description of events provided by an unnamed witness to them.â
At a White House briefing Wednesday afternoon Sanders said Trump only had âone brief conversationâ with Wolff and that most dialogue with White House staff was coordinated by one person: former chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon whom Trump dismissed in an unusually harsh statement saying he âhas nothing to do with me or my presidency.â
[ Trump slams Bannon: âWhen he was fired he not only lost his job he lost his mindâ]
During the campaign â which few aides expected Trump to win â and the transition that followed Wolff writes about several instances in which Trumpâs lack of knowledge and interest in public affairs was evident.
Early in the campaign for example Trump aide Sam Nunberg was sent to explain the Constitution to the candidate Wolff writes and Nunberg offered this assessment of the experience: âI got as far as the Fourth Amendment before his finger is pulling down on his lip and his eyes are rolling back in his head.â
Wolff reports that in early August 2016 Trump asked former Fox News chairman Roger Ailes to take over management of the campaign. Ailes turned him down Wolff writes because he knew of Trumpâs disinclination to take advice âor even listen to it.â
After Trump prevailed Trump turned to Ailes for advice on a chief of staff the book says.
âWhoâs that?â Trump reportedly asked unaware that Boehner had been the speaker of the House until he was forced out in a tea party putsch in 2015.
Wolff also writes that Reince Priebus â the chairman of the Republican National Committee who later became the chief of staff â was alarmed how often during the transition Trump offered people jobs on the spot including many he had never met before.
Wolff writes that one of the reasons Trump didnât want John Bolton a famously hawkish diplomat as his national security adviser was because of his mustache.
âBoltonâs mustache is a problem â Wolff quotes Bannon saying. â Trump doesnât think he looks the part.â

Now, solve this instance: John Sculley is the former CEO of Pepsi and Apple. He was brought on by Steve Jobs to be the then-young founder's "adult supervision. "
Sculley started his career at Pepsi driving its trucks and eventually became its CEO.
He stayed at Apple for 10 years and had a tense relationship with Jobs that led to Jobs' temporary departure from the company.
After Apple Sculley became a tech investor and he 's now a founding member of a healthcare startup that he thinks could one day generate even more revenue than Apple.
John Sculley remembers the first time he met Steve Jobs . He was CEO of Pepsi at the time and he flew to California to meet with the then-26-year-old cofounder of Apple about a potential CEO role there.
Jobs had met about 20 other candidates and been unimpressed. But after 5 months of getting to know Sculley he was sold and offered him the job. Sculley initially turned it down. Then Jobs dropped a now-famous line on him that made Sculley change his mind:
"Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life? Or do you want to come with me and change the world?"
Sculley spent a decade at Apple and it was a roller coaster ride. So was his relationship with Jobs . During one particularly tense moment Jobs planned a coup to unseat Sculley . When Sculley learned about Jobs' plan he held a board meeting that resulted in Jobs running from the room crying and taking a long sabbatical. It's a moment Sculley now regrets.
"In hindsight now that I have decades of perspective I didn't appreciate how important founders are " Sculley said in an interview for Business Insider's podcast "Success! How I Did It."
"This was not a power struggle; this was two different points of view of how do you make the company sustainable. I can't change it that's history but it's actually beautiful that Steve did eventually come back to Apple and of course he ended up becoming a very successful CEO. Steve Jobs 2.0 had matured tremendously from Steve Jobs 1.0."
After Sculley left Apple he became a tech investor. He 's now the cofounder of a healthcare startup that he thinks could become even bigger than Apple someday RXAdvance. He says 5% of the US population â the chronically ill â accounts for $1.5 trillion in spending. And he thinks he 's figured out a way to solve it.
"It turns out that the avoidable drug impacted medical costs âthis is out of that $3 trillion of health spending âadds up to about $840 billion. That's many times bigger than most industries certainly in high tech and of that $840 billion it's estimated that $350 billion is avoidable expense " Sculley explained.
Sculley discussed his career his friendship and eventual falling out with Steve Jobs and his new healthcare initiative on the podcast which you can listen to below.
John Sculley : Thank you.
Sculley : Oh I wish you wouldn't bring that up! I was in Hawaii because we would introduce market by market and fortunately those days we didn't have cable television so that you could see something that happened in Hawaii all the way back on the mainland. But I was being interviewed live in Honolulu and the lady interviewing me as people were taking the Pepsi Challenge taste test said âWell why don't you take the challenge test?â And I sort of hesitated but there wasn't much I could say so unfortunately I picked Coca-Cola.

Q: Stop Hating On Ed Sheeran's Fundraising Ad Say Critics
Radi-Aid a nonprofit group in Norway was running its annual contest asking folks to vote for the nominees. And the winner (or loser) for worst charity ad was a 5-minute spot for Comic Relief in which pop star Ed Sheeran visits orphans in a slum in Liberia talks to one homeless boy and asks viewers to help the children.
Maybe it's not such a bad idea to show a rich guy giving money to a kid on the streets argues Tariro Mzezewa in an op-ed this week in The New York Times: "Ed Sheeran Raises Money For Liberia â And Is Promptly Shamed." Mzezewa a staff editor for The Times' opinion section writes: "The reaction to this video is not only overblown but also harmful to the people who need help and those who may want to offer it."
Others agree with Mzezewa including Beyan Flomo Pewee the Liberian founder and executive director of YOCEL a nonprofit youth organization in Monsterrado Liberia. "I personally think that the video was not really bad given he was raising funds and Liberia benefited " he wrote in an email to NPR. "Especially the closing part of the video where he demonstrated commitment to help the boys."
"Poor Ed Sheeran he only wanted to help."

Q: Last Saturday the couple wed outside of Dayton OH. But before the two said âI do â their friend Jake Clark set the stage for their walk down the aisle as âflower man.â
According to Yahoo Style Clark approached the couple after they got engaged and volunteered himself to be part of the wedding party. Amanda and Daniel took him up on the offer and now the pictures of Clark 's walk down the aisle have received nearly 200 reactions and over 60 shares on Facebook.

As for the multiple fanny packs Clark wanted to âgo big or go home.â
âI figured if Iâm going to be flower man Iâm going to go all out â go big or go home â Clark tells Yahoo. âI could have just carried around a basket but I thought âHow could I make it a little more over the top?â So I decided three fanny packs not one. The showcase fanny pack was actually a unicorn fanny pack.â
Clark wasnât the only unconventional part of the wedding â later in the evening an unexpected blaze broke out.

Input: Consider Input: Stephen Paddock fired hundreds of rounds out of a 32nd story window in the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on Sunday night police have said killing 59 and injuring over 500 in the deadliest mass shooting in recent US history.
Paddock had no military training. According to Paddockâs family and the ongoing police investigation he had a penchant for guns and some experience hunting. But there is no indication he had formal training.
Nevertheless he managed to kill dozens and wound hundreds from 32 stories above the ground and a distance of three to five football fields between him and his victims.
The reason he was able to carry out the massacre lies largely with the tools at his disposal and the completely helpless nature of his targets.
Some of the weapons had scopes to increase his effective range. The length of the bursts of fire suggest Paddock likely used extended magazines to store many times a firearmâs normal capacity in ammunition.
All of Paddockâs guns legally belonged to him. Nevada where Paddock lived allows the sale of high-capacity magazines high-caliber weapons and ammunition and military-style weapons but it doesnât allow fully automatic weapons.
Paddock got around the limitation of government-mandated semi-automatic weapons by using something called a âbump stock â which effectively turns a semi-automatic rifle into an automatic according to The Associated Press.
From 300 to 500 yards away the crowd of 22 000 were essentially âfish in the barrel â which is how country singer Jake Owens who was on stage in Las Vegas described that night. It wouldnât take a military operative or master marksman to inflict grievous damage on a crowd with the tools Paddock had available.
Paddock simply rained down bullets on an unsuspecting crowd that was focused on the stage. Because bullets from high-powered rifles travel at supersonic speeds the first shots probably hit the victims before the sound of the rifle even rang out.

PROBLEM: The good news for Indy is that the only coaching vacancy still looks pretty attractive â if Andrew Luck is healthy.
Luck meanwhile continues to be the big question as he rehabs from last January's surgery for a partially torn labrum in his throwing shoulder.
Some believe McDaniels' sudden change of heart was related to doubts about Luck 's health.
On Wednesday though he attempted to alleviate lingering concerns about Luck while acknowledging the franchise quarterback still hasn't thrown a football since returning from Europe late last year.

PROBLEM: What happens when the one and only Bill Murray recites American literature and flexes his pipes on songs from the great American songbook backed by three accomplished classical musicians at a packed Orchestra Hall?
âNew Worlds: Bill Murray Jan Vogler and Friendsâ was the name of the show the famed Wilmette-raised actor and comedian along with cellist Jan Vogler violinist Mira Wang and pianist Vanessa Perez brought to Symphony Center on Tuesday night as part of a national tour in support of their new Decca Gold album of the same name.
Murray sang a little danced a little cracked a couple of jokes. The inveterate Cubs fan traded his tuxedo jacket for a Cubs windbreaker at the end prompting a roar from audience members one of whom had draped a Wrigley victory flag over the side of the platform that was put up on stage to accommodate extra seats.
The tone shifted from light to serious and back again. Murray sometimes recited over musical accompaniment; sometimes his recitations stood on their own. One selection merged into the next in a seamless two-hour flow of spoken word song and instrumental music. Like all highly skilled actors Murray is a virtuoso of tone and timing. His typically laid-back manner fools no one for thereâs always a finely honed theatrical sensibility and command of craft peeking through.
Who could resist James Fenimore Cooperâs evocation of a pristine early 19th-century American woodland (from âThe Deerslayerâ) as recited with all due wonderment by Murray over a movement from a Schubert piano trio?
Or Murray âs thoughtful rendition half-sung half-spoken of âJeanie with the Light-Brown Hair â a nostalgic slice of early America I have never heard so poignantly done as here? Murray may not have classically trained vocal technique but his baritone is pleasant and musical and absolutely true to the words and the deep emotions they convey and that was all that mattered.
There was so much else to savor all evening long. You havenât heard âIt Ainât Necessarily Soâ until youâve heard Murray âs sassy jazzy transformation of that beloved Gershwin classic. Nor are you likely to forget the gutsy intensity of feeling he brought to Van Morrisonâs soul standard âWhen Will I Ever Learn to Live in God.â
After that number Murray flung long-stemmed roses to the fans who were up on their feet loudly cheering the hometown favorite. âThanks for coming â itâs nice to be home â he told them as he Vogler Wang and Perez waved their goodbyes.
If this is what it takes to sell light classical music and renew interest in neglected classics of American literature to a mass concert public maybe Murray and friends are on to something. Long may their team flourish.

PROBLEM: Chinese President Xi Jinping claps while addressing the media as he introduces new members of the Politburo Standing Committee at Beijingâs Great Hall of the People on Oct 25. (Ng Han Guan/AP)
Chinaâs constitution is set to drop the two-term limit for president allowing Xi Jinping to extend his rule beyond 2023. Here are three things to know about Xiâs increasingly personal rule:
1. Xi has broken a decades-old norm of collective rule
Deng Xiaoping the Chinese leader who spearheaded reform after Mao passed spoke against personal rule in 1980: âOver-concentration of power is liable to give rise to arbitrary rule by individuals at the expense of collective leadership.â Most China watchers expected Xi to follow his predecessor Hu Jintaoâs example and rule for only 10 years but now there is consensus that Xi will stay on after this period.
[ Xi Jinping just made it clear where Chinaâs foreign policy is headed ]
In China Xi packed key government positions with his supporters while purging rivals. He also created significant new organizations such as small leadership groups that he controls to circumvent rival power centers. With these latest constitutional changes he has rigged the game in his favor too. The Chinese Communist Party is a massive and powerful organization but increasingly it is an institution ruled by just one man Xi Jinping.
Beyond this Xi has initiated a substantial anti-corruption campaign that has gone after tens of thousands of officials at all levels including retired top leaders such as Zhou Yongkang. Some targets no doubt were Xi rivals but there is good reason to believe that the Communist Partyâs pervasive corruption had become a major source of economic and political risk.
Even if Xi is interested in the party and the broader regime rather than his own aggrandizement going after top-level retirees broke a norm of exemption. This makes it difficult for Xi to retire as he could become a target given his familyâs wealth â despite their efforts to shed assets.
To be sure the proposed constitutional revisions do not stop at allowing Xi a third term. They call for inclusion of a reference to âcore socialist values â a âpublic oath of allegiance to the constitutionâ for state officials upon assuming office and for listing a supervision commission as a new state organ.
These changes are evidence that power is centralizing in Beijing â in addition to being concentrated in Xi . Local government officials enjoyed relatively free rein for much of the post-Mao period as long as the economy grew and tax revenue came in. But the central government increasingly is investing in its monitoring capacity and offering a rhetoric of governing morally with a mix of Confucian and Communist Party virtues.
SOLUTION: | Xi Jinping

New input: MIAMI GARDENS Fla. (AP) — Alex Hornibrook 's first pass of the night was a wobbler one that seemed to slip out of his hand.
Nearly everything else he threw was just about perfect.
Hornibrook threw four touchdown passes three to Danny Davis and No. 6 Wisconsin capped off the winningest season in school history by topping No. 11 Miami 34-24 in the Orange Bowl on Saturday night.
"We were pretty relaxed " Hornibrook said. "We knew we had what it takes to win this game."
The Badgers dominated time of possession holding the ball for nearly 40 minutes. Hornibrook completed 23 of 34 passes for 258 yards going 20 for 25 in the final three quarters.
Travis Homer and Deejay Dallas had rushing scores for Miami (10-3) which lost on its home field for the first time in 2017. Lawrence Cager had a touchdown catch for the Hurricanes while quarterback Malik Rosier was 11 for 26 passing for 203 yards — with three interceptions.
"We're all coming back " Hornibrook said. "But nothing is going to happen if we don't put in the work."
Wisconsin: Hornibrook became just the third Badgers quarterback in the last 15 years to have multiple games with at least four touchdown passes in the same season. Scott Tolzien had a pair of four-TD games in 2009 and Jim Sorgi had games of four and five TDs in consecutive weeks back in 2003. From 2012 through 2016 the Badgers never had a quarterback throw for four scores in a game.

New input: North Korean leader Kim Jong Il has put his youngest son in charge of the country's spy agency as a prelude to handing over control of the communist regime a news report said Wednesday.
Kim visited the headquarters of the State Security Department in March along with his 26-year-old son Kim Jong Un and told agency leaders to "uphold" his third son as head of the department the Dong-a Ilbo newspaper reported citing an unnamed source.
Kim also told department leaders to "safeguard comrade Kim Jong Un with (your) lives as you did for me in the past " and gave them five foreign-made cars each worth some $80 000 as gifts the mass-market daily said.
It said Kim visited a college that educates spy agents last month and made similar remarks there.
Pyongyang's State Security Department is the backbone of Kim's harsh rule over the totalitarian nation. It keeps a close watch over government agencies the military and ordinary people for any signs of dissent. It also engages in spy missions abroad.
The move to put Kim Jong Un in charge of the agency illustrates the elder KimKim's concern about any possible backlash that the father-to-son succession could prompt the Dong-a said.
The paper also said the younger KimKim oversaw the handling of two American journalists detained in March while on a reporting trip to the China-North Korea border. The reporters were sentenced to 12 years of hard labor earlier this month for illegal border crossing and hostile acts.
Kim Jong Il inherited North Korea after his father and founding leader Kim Il Sung died in 1994.
On Tuesday the North's main Rodong Sinmun newspaper carried a remark by Kim Jong Il that could be seen as a justification of the father-to-son succession.

[Q]: LONDON (AP) — A British judge is set to decide Tuesday whether to quash or uphold an arrest warrant for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange who has spent more than five years evading the law inside Ecuador's London embassy .
Assange 's lawyers argue that it's no longer in the public interest to arrest him for jumping bail in 2012 and seeking shelter in the embassy to avoid extradition to Sweden where prosecutors were investigating allegations of sexual assault and rape made by two women. He denied the allegations.
Swedish prosecutors dropped their investigation last year saying there was no prospect of bringing Assange to Sweden in the foreseeable future. But the British warrant for violating bail conditions still stands and Assange faces arrest if he leaves the embassy.
Assange 's lawyers asked for the warrant to be withdrawn since Sweden no longer wants him extradited but the judge rejected their request last week.
Assange 's attorney went on to argue that arresting him is no longer proportionate or in the public interest. Lawyer Mark Summers said that the 5½ years Assange has spent inside the embassy were "adequate if not severe" punishment for his actions and cited a report by a U.N. committee which said the 46-year-old was being arbitrarily detained.
He said the fact remained that Assange had chosen to enter the embassy to avoid arrest
Even if the judge lifts the British arrest warrant Assange 's legal problems may not be over. He suspects there is a secret U.S. grand jury indictment against him for WikiLeaks' publication of classified documents and that American authorities will seek his extradition

[Q]: Ja Du a transgender white person from New Orleans also claims to be transracial and identifies as Filipino.
Du was born Adam Wheeler and grew up loving Filipino food and culture -- so much so Du now identifies as Filipino even driving a purple motorized rickshaw Du called a Tuk Tuk an Asian-derived vehicle used for public transit in the Philippines.
âWhenever Iâm around the music around the food I feel like Iâm in my own skin â Du told WTSP. âIâd watch the history channel sometimes for hours you know whenever it came to that and you know nothing else intrigued me more but things about Filipino culture.â
The comments make Du a member of a small but growing community of people who consider themselves transracial -- meaning to be born one race but identify with another.
âI think things that made no sense to most people make sense to us on an individual level in almost every person like a swelling feeling you feel when you listen to dramatic music â Du told the Huffington Post. âItâs all sound and vibration but something in it relates to your soul on such a subconscious level that you connect with it and [thatâs] how I feel about the Filipino culture.â
Many members of the Filipino-American community however are not pleased with some even expressing outrage at Duâs assertion saying Du is overlooking the hundreds of years of struggle Filipinos have endured.
âJa Du says he feels like himself when heâs around Filipino food and music and that is fabulous but to then say you are that race is both unrealistic and problematic â she said. âBeing Filipino means enduring racism discrimination and micro-aggressions all the time.â

Input: Consider Input: DENPASAR Indonesia (Reuters) - Indonesia raised its warning for Baliâs Mount Agung volcano to the top level four alert on Monday closed the holiday islandâs airport and told residents around the mountain to immediately evacuate warning of an âimminentâ risk of a larger eruption.

Baliâs airport was closed for 24 hours from Monday morning disrupting 445 flights and some 59 000 passengers due to the eruption and the presence of volcanic ash from Agung but local officials said the closure could be extended.
âThe potential for a larger eruption is imminent â it said referring to the visible glow of magma at Agungâs peak overnight.
Residents were warned to âimmediately evacuateâ a danger zone that circles Agung in a radius of 8-10 km (5-6 miles).
Agung rises majestically over eastern Bali to a height of just over 3 000 metres (9 800 feet). Eastern Bali is relatively undeveloped with traditional rice paddies doting the landscape and the occasional budget resort unlike the heavily populated southern tourist hub of Kuta-Seminyak-Nusa Dua.
Agung âs last eruption in 1963 left more than 1 000 people dead and razed several villages.
Analysis suggested the threat should not be as great this time because âenergy at Mount Agungâs magma chamber is not as bigâ and with the ash column only around a quarter as high so far as the 20 km (12 miles) reached in 1963 said Sutopo.
Tourism business has slumped in Bali since September when Agung âs volcanic tremors began to increase.

According to the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre in nearby Darwin Australia there is âash confirmed on the ground at Denpasar Airportâ as well as ash at FL300 (which refers to flight level at 30 000 feet) in the vicinity of the volcano .
Baliâs I Gusti Ngurah Rai airport which is about 60 km (40 miles) from the volcano will be closed for 24 hours according to its operator. A total of 445 flights - 196 international and 249 domestic - and 59 000 passengers had been affected.

The alert level on Agung had been raised to the maximum in September but was lowered in October when seismic activity calmed. However volcanologists now say the volcano has entered a new phase with magma now visible at Agung âs peak meaning a greater risk of a larger eruption.

South Africa's former police chief and ex-president of Interpol Jackie Selebi was convicted Friday of corruption for accepting bribes from organised crime.
Selebi had denied the charges against him which he said were part of a broader political conspiracy that reached to the top levels of government.
The trial laid out his startling links with the criminal underworld in particular with convicted drug smuggler Glenn Agliotti who was accused of giving him cash and luxury gifts.
Selebi was accused of taking bribes from Agliotti totalling more than 1.2 million rand (166 000 dollars 122 000 euros) between 2000 and 2005.
What finally emerged was a picture of Agliotti who was also accused in the murder of a local mining magnate indulging Selebi's fondness for designer clothing which the police chief rewarded by feeding Agliotti inside information.
While in office Selebi acknowledged his friendship with Agliotti saying "Glenn Agliotti is my friend finish and klaar (end of story)."
It was Agliotti's drugs conviction that lifted the lid on Selebi's activities sparking a lengthy investigation into his life.
His first arrest warrant was issued in September 2007 but he was not charged reportedly due to protection by then-president Thabo Mbeki.
On January 11 2008 he was charged with corruption and defeating the ends of justice due to his friendship with Agliotti.

New input case for you: Russian President Dmitry Medvedev after his meetings with Hu also underscored the importance of coordinated regional measures to combat the global crisis.
"Of course today our attention is centred on those measures necessary to prevent or minimise the negative influences of the global financial crisis which of course have an effect on our bilateral ties " Medvedev said.
"The main goal is not only to preserve the relations existing between our states but to give them a new impulse " he added.
Medvedev hailed Hu's visit as "friendly and constructive " adding these were qualities "that characterise relations between our two countries."
The Chinese president ended his talks with the Russian for "Thank You".
Medvedev and Putin did not mention these figures instead citing bilateral trade with China worth over 55 billion dollars in 2008.
China and Russia also agreed to boost the use of their domestic currencies in trade Medvedev added as Moscow seeks to lessen the global dominance of the US dollar.
"Another very important task -- which today has become very timely -- is the question of using national currencies in mutual payments " he said. "We agreed to take additional measures in this direction."

Taylor Swiftâs lawyers are trying to shake off claims that the âShake It Offâ singer stole lyrics with a new court motion.
Swift was sued in September by songwriters Sean Hall and Nathan Butler who created the song âPlayas Gonâ Playâ for the girl group 3LW in 2001. The duo claimed that Swift stole their lyrics and used them in her famous hit single âShake It Off.â
On Wednesday the singerâs lawyers asked the federal judge to dismiss the copyright lawsuit against Swift and argued that the concepts of players playing and haters hating are common music phrases and âpublic domain clichésâ that canât be claimed as copyright according to Variety.
Swift used the familiar phrase in the chorus of her song which says âPlayers gonna play play play play play and haters gonna hate hate hate hate hate.â
âThere can be no copyright protection in âplayas they gonna play and haters they gonna hate â because it would impermissibly monopolize the idea that players will play and haters will hate â Swift âs lawyers said. âPlaintiffsâ claim to being the only ones in the world who can refer to players playing and haters hating is frivolous⦠Providing a copyright monopoly in the phrase would prevent others from sharing the idea that players play and haters hate.â
To further prove their argument Swift âs legal team went on to cite other examples of famous songs that use the âplayerâ and âhaterâ phrase such as âDreamsâ by Fleetwood Mac in which the song says âPlayers only love you when theyâre playing â and âPlaya Hater â by the Notorious B.I.G. where the phrase âplaya playa haterâ is used as the part of the songâs chorus.

Behzad Mesri was charged in a seven-count indictment with computer fraud wire fraud and other crimes. He is believed to be in Iran and likely beyond the reach of American authorities but federal prosecutors and the FBI scheduled a lunchtime news conference to discuss the case.
Bill Sweeney assistant director in charge of the FBI's New York field office said that Mesri "lurked in the alleyways of the Internet identified the vulnerabilities of his victim and pickpocketed their information from thousands of miles away. After he had successfully identified their proprietary secrets he held their future for ransom. Today's charges show that international cybercriminals are never beyond the reach of U.S. laws."

question:
Greg Zanis first heard the news about the Las Vegas shooting when an employee from ArchAngels Biorecovery showed up at his door around 7:30 Monday morning with a check from the Aurora clean-up company for $1 200.
The donation was gas money for Zanis so he could take a pick-up truck filled with crosses to Las Vegas where at least 59 people have been killed and more than 500 wounded after a gunman opened fire at an outdoor Jason Aldean concert on Sunday evening.
"At first when he told me what happened I didn't believe him " said Zanis of his early-morning visitor. "And then I just cried."
It wasn't long before the phone calls started coming in to his home on Church Road. From the media of course. And more importantly from the mayor's office in Las Vegas asking Zanis to bring his unique anti-violence crusade to the desert city that has become the latest — and sadly the largest — mass murder site in this country.
Zanis is hoping that by Wednesday morning — after he 's received the identities and photos of the victims and attached them to the crosses — he will be ready to head to Vegas where the crosses will be planted on Sunday. Zanis says he 's already made a trip to the local pantry to get the food he will need for the trip. Money is tight as always but having made more than 20 000 crosses since this crusade began 20 years ago — all of them chronicled in more than 77 notebooks Haas noted — the retired carpenter always finds a way to create the white crosses and get them to their destinations.
