Starting in 1996, Alexa Internet has been donating their crawl data to the Internet Archive. Flowing in every day, these data are added to the Wayback Machine after an embargo period. ||||| Madonna may be one of the biggest pop stars in music history.
But long before selling out arenas and millions of albums, she was just a girl with a dream who wanted to make it big in New York City.
In a candid new interview with Sirius XM's Howard Stern Show, the Rebel Heart singer opened up about her big move from the Midwest to New York City. As it turned out, that first year living in the Big Apple was quite the difficult journey.
"First I was in shock, I didn't know a soul," she told Howard Stern when reliving her move to the East Coast. "I was saying hi to people on the streets like a dork." |||||

– During the first year a young Madonna lived in New York, she was raped, and she opened up about it during an interview with Howard Stern yesterday, E! reports. She needed money for a payphone, and a man she asked for change convinced her to make her call from his apartment—then raped her. But she never reported it, she said: "You've already been violated. It's just not worth it. It's too much humiliation." She also revealed that she once dated Tupac Shakur. She was dating the rapper when she made an F-bomb-filled appearance on David Letterman's show in 1994, she explained, and Shakur "got me all riled up on life in general. So when I went on the show I was feeling very gangsta." The news of their relationship surprised Stern, though Madonna said she thought it was public knowledge. (The Material Girl also recently revealed why she doesn't date men her own age.)

Here is a question about this article: The Suez crisis and the choice of Eden's successor led in 1957 to the first major personal criticism of the Queen. In a magazine, which he owned and edited, Lord Altrincham accused her of being "out of touch". Altrincham was denounced by public figures and slapped by a member of the public appalled by his comments. Six years later, in 1963, Macmillan resigned and advised the Queen to appoint the Earl of Home as prime minister, advice that she followed. The Queen again came under criticism for appointing the prime minister on the advice of a small number of ministers or a single minister. In 1965, the Conservatives adopted a formal mechanism for electing a leader, thus relieving her of involvement.
What is the answer to this question: When was a formal mechanism for electing the Minister adopted?
****
So... 1965

In June, Truman became the first president to address the NAACP. His speech was a significant departure from traditional race relations in the United States. In front of 10,000 people at the Lincoln Memorial, the president left no doubt where he stood on civil rights. According to his speech, America had "reached a turning point in the long history of our country's efforts to guarantee freedom and equality to all our citizens…Each man must be guaranteed equality of opportunity." He proposed what black citizens had been calling for - an enhanced role of federal authority through the states. "We must make the Federal government a friendly, vigilant defender of the rights and equalities of all Americans. And again I mean all Americans.":40

In the city of Dujiangyan, south-east of the epicenter, a whole school collapsed with 900 students buried and fewer than 60 survived. The Juyuan Middle School, where many teenagers were buried, was excavated by civilians and cranes. Dujiangyan is home of the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, an ancient water diversion project which is still in use and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The project's famous Fish Mouth was cracked but not severely damaged otherwise.
What highways into Wenchuan were damaged?
A: All of the highways
Question: Read this and answer the question
The game pad controllers were more-or-less copied directly from the Game & Watch machines, although the Famicom design team originally wanted to use arcade-style joysticks, even taking apart ones from American game consoles to see how they worked. However, it was eventually decided that children might step on joysticks left on the floor and their durability was also questioned. Katsuyah Nakawaka attached a Game & Watch D-pad to the Famicom prototype and found that it was easy to use and had no discomfort. Ultimately though, they did install a 15-pin expansion port on the front of the console so that an arcade-style joystick could be used optionally. The controllers were hard-wired to the console with no connectors for cost reasons.
What was installed on the front of the console so the joystick could be used?
Answer: 15-pin expansion port
Problem: Since 1947, Canadian military units have participated in more than 200 operations worldwide, and completed 72 international operations. Canadian soldiers, sailors, and aviators came to be considered world-class professionals through conspicuous service during these conflicts and the country's integral participation in NATO during the Cold War, First Gulf War, Kosovo War, and in United Nations Peacekeeping operations, such as the Suez Crisis, Golan Heights, Cyprus, Croatia, Bosnia, Afghanistan, and Libya. Canada maintained an aircraft carrier from 1957 to 1970 during the Cold War, which never saw combat but participated in patrols during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
What are some of the wars the Canadian Military was involved in?
The answer is the following: Cold War, First Gulf War, Kosovo War
Input: Article: The PLP, the party in government when the decision to join CARICOM was made, has been dominated for decades by West Indians and their descendants. (The prominent roles of West Indians among Bermuda's black politicians and labour activists predated party politics in Bermuda, as exemplified by Dr. E. F. Gordon). The late PLP leader, Dame Lois Browne-Evans, and her Trinidadian-born husband, John Evans (who co-founded the West Indian Association of Bermuda in 1976), were prominent members of this group. They have emphasised Bermuda's cultural connections with the West Indies. Many Bermudians, both black and white, who lack family connections to the West Indies have objected to this emphasis.
Now answer this question: Why are some Bermudians against the emphasis of West Indies cultural connections?

Article:
The House will vote Wednesday on a five-year farm bill unveiled by House and Senate negotiators from both parties on Monday night.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said he would personally support the compromise bill, giving it further momentum ahead of the House vote.
The bill includes nearly $1 trillion in funding for agriculture subsidy, crop insurance and food stamp programs over the next 10 years.
ADVERTISEMENT
It would reduce food stamp funding by about $8 billion, much less than what Cantor and other House Republicans had demanded.
Overall, the bill is expected to save $23 billion over 10 years compared to existing funding.
“Despite the Senate's unwillingness to challenge the status-quo and include all of the critical reforms to important programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the finalized Farm Bill will include a new initiative that allows states to implement work requirements for able-bodied adults as well as initiatives to help move individuals from dependence to self-sufficiency and independence,” Cantor said in praising the measure.
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said he also supports the farm bill.
“I have voted against the last two Farm Bills because, in my view, they made farm and food stamp policy worse rather than better. This legislation, however, is worthy of the House’s support,” he said.
House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas (R-Okla.) touted the bill’s “significant savings and reforms” in a statement.
“We are putting in place sound policy that is good for farmers, ranchers, consumers, and those who have hit difficult time,” he said.
Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) said the bill “saves taxpayers billions, eliminates unnecessary subsidies, creates a more effective farm safety-net and helps farmers and businesses create jobs."
Although House Agriculture ranking member Collin Peterson (D-Minn.) said he did not support all of the provisions, he also announced he will vote for it. His support brings a significant contingent of rural Democrats that could be necessary for the bill’s passage this week.
“While it’s no secret that I do not support some of the final bill’s provisions, I believe my reservations are outweighed by the need to provide long term certainty for agriculture and nutrition programs. This process has been going on far too long,” he said.
Peterson's support comes after a compromise was found on dairy subsidies and dairy lobbyists voiced their support. The compromise discourages milk overproduction by limiting how much milk can be insured in the future and also has a provision allowing the Agriculture Department to buy up some excess production.
Farm lobbyists backing the bill said they would work overtime to get it approved by both chambers. Opponents include some House conservatives and the meat processing industry.
But in another hopeful sign for the bill, Rep. Steve Southerland (R-Fla.), a member of the conference committee and top proponent of new food stamp restrictions, said he would support the bill.
“Some of the reforms in this farm bill are fantastic,” he said in reference to provisions affecting food stamps, dairy programs and direct payments. “You’ve got to crawl before you walk and walk before you can run.”
The House bill had initially made a $39 billion cut to the food stamp programs.
The food stamps cuts are achieved, as expected, by making it more difficult to qualify for nutrition assistance by virtue of receiving home heating aid. The threshold is raised to $20 per month from $1 per month. The bill contains funding for a new pilot program aimed at encouraging able-bodied recipients to find work and more than $200 million more for food banks.
Southerland said after leaving Boehner’s office on Monday that the Speaker appeared to be onboard with a compromise on the dairy program after demanding changes to an earlier draft.
“We believe the Speaker is satisfied with the dairy [provision],” Southerland said.
Boehner forbade any dairy reform containing milk supply management from inclusion in the bill. The compromise bill does not contain the management mechanism in the Senate bill but has other "tweaks" meant to address overproduction concerns, sources said.
On farm subsidies, the bill offers producers a choice between a shallow loss revenue insurance long favored by Northern crop growers and price-based supports supported by those in the South. The target prices for the Price Loss Coverage (PLC) option are the same as in the House-passed farm bill. The Agricultural Risk Coverage (ARC) program is triggered when revenue falls below 86 percent, up from 85 percent in the House bill and down from 89 percent in the Senate bill.
Negotiators have altered payment limit provisions contained in both the House and Senate farm bills. The limits are now capped at $125,000 per individual or $250,000 per couple, but caps within that total for PLC, ARC or marketing loan deficiency payments have been removed.
The compromise also changes restrictions on the so-called “actively engaged” provision. The criteria for management has been strengthened compared to current law, a source said, but the provision appears to be scaled back from the labor requirement in the earlier versions of the bills.
The bill resolves a long-running dispute over whether commodity subsidies should be tied to current production or historical production. With a number of caveats, it ties subsidies to historical production but allows famers to update their "base acres" once in the life of the farm bill. Critics of the original House bill had said linking support to current production would distort trade and invited retaliation.
The 2008 farm bill expired on Oct. 1 and, without a new measure, spring planting decisions are up in the air. The Agriculture Department technically should now be enforcing a reversion to 1949 law that would spike milk prices.
A top agriculture lobbyist sounded upbeat Monday but not 100 percent sure of passage.
“I think there is real progress, but we have a lot of work to do before this comes to the House floor,” the lobbyist said.
Part of the concern erupted due to a fight over two livestock provisions not included in the bill.
Meat and poultry lobbyists vowed to oppose the farm bill on Monday, after two of their core priorities were left on the cutting room floor.
Language aimed at curtailing a meat country-of-origin labeling (MCOOL) requirement and one aimed at restricting activities by the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) was left out. The development was supported by growers but opposed by processors.
Senate negotiators won on MCOOL and GIPSA and also prevailed by keeping out of the bill an amendment by Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) aimed at stopping California from banning eggs hatched from hens in tiny battery cages.
In another last minute decision, Senate Agriculture Committee ranking member Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) succeeded in keeping in place a catfish inspection program that importers and Vietnam have called an illegal trade barrier.
— This story was updated at 7:20 p.m. ||||| WASHINGTON — House and Senate negotiators on Monday agreed on a new five-year farm bill that will eliminate or consolidate dozens of agriculture subsidy programs, expand government-subsidized crop insurance and cut about $8 billion from the food stamp program over the next decade.
The bipartisan agreement, two years after lawmakers began work on the nearly $1 trillion bill, is a major step forward in reauthorizing hundreds of farm and nutrition programs that must be renewed every five years. And, at least for now, it brings an end to the partisan fighting that stalled two previous attempts to pass the legislation. The bill would reduce spending by about $23 billion over the next 10 years.
The House is expected to vote on the measure on Wednesday. It is unclear when the Senate will take up the legislation. Many Senate Democrats are likely to be unhappy with the food stamps measure, which cuts roughly twice as much as senators approved in May.
Yet the food stamp cuts may not be large enough to appease House conservatives, who in June helped defeat a bill backed by Speaker John A. Boehner of Ohio that would have cut $20 billion from the program. The House eventually passed a bill covering only nutrition programs that would have sliced nearly $40 billion from food stamps.
The negotiations were headed by the leaders of the House and Senate Agriculture Committees, Representative Frank D. Lucas, Republican of Oklahoma, and Senator Debbie Stabenow, Democrat of Michigan.
The deal “puts us on the verge of enacting a five-year farm bill that saves taxpayers billions, eliminates unnecessary subsidies, creates a more effective farm safety net and helps farmers and businesses create jobs,” Ms. Stabenow said.
Mr. Lucas said, “I am proud of our efforts to finish a farm bill conference report with significant savings and reforms.”
Farmers also welcomed the news of the agreement.
“The bill is a compromise,” said Ray Gaesser, an Iowa farmer who is president of the American Soybean Association. “It ensures the continued success of American agriculture, and we encourage both the House and the Senate to pass it quickly.”
Antihunger advocates criticized the agreement.
“They are gutting a program to provide food for hungry people to pay for corporate welfare,” said Joel Berg, executive director of the New York City Coalition Against Hunger.
The new bill would make the most significant changes to farm programs in decades. It would create a new milk insurance subsidy program and place a cap on farm subsidy payments.
The full details of the bill have not been released.
It is expected to leave in place the federal sugar program, which is a combination of import restrictions and production quotas that are intended to keep the price of American sugar well above that available on the world market and which has long been criticized by candy makers and bakers.
It also is expected to keep a controversial catfish-inspection office at the Agriculture Department that is supported by Southern lawmakers and the catfish industry, but has faced opposition because it duplicates a similar program at the Food and Drug Administration. Some countries that export catfish, like Vietnam, say the program protects American catfish producers.
Among the most significant changes to farm subsidies would be the elimination of so-called direct payments. They have been in place since 1996, cost about $5 billion a year and go to farmers and landowners whether they grow crops or not.
Some of the savings from the elimination of direct payments will be added to the crop insurance program, in which the federal government covers losses from poor yields or declines in revenue. It also has its critics.
“It’s a classic bait-and-switch proposal to protect farm subsidies,” said Vincent H. Smith, a professor of farm economics at Montana State University and a longtime critic of agriculture subsidies. “They’ve eliminated the politically toxic direct payments program and added the money to a program that will provide farmers with even larger subsidies.”
Antihunger advocates like Mr. Berg say crop insurance expansion would come at the expense of millions of people who depend on food stamps.
The farm bill would avoid some of the drastic measures that were part of the House bill, like work requirements and drug testing for food stamp recipients, but antihunger advocates said the $8 billion cut would reduce benefits by about $90 a month for 850,000 households. The bill does contain financing for a pilot program aimed at encouraging recipients who can work to find work. Nearly two million people will be affected by the cuts.
“This vote is a tragic, heartless and economically counterproductive departure from America’s bipartisan history of fighting hunger,” Mr. Berg said. “Members of Congress who voted for this should be ashamed.” ||||| The compromise farm bill announced Monday by congressional negotiators sets policy for food stamps and farm programs. The bill would cut food stamps by around $800 million a year and continue generous farm subsidies. Agriculture programs in the bill:
— The end of so-called direct payments, paid to farmers whether they farm or not. The payments now cost around $4.5 billion a year.
— A new revenue insurance subsidy that would pay farmers in the event of "shallow losses," or revenue losses incurred before their paid crop insurance kicks in. That program might kick in sooner than previously thought as some crop prices have dropped in recent months.
— A separate subsidy program would trigger payments when crop prices drop. This is similar to current subsidies, though the new programs would kick in sooner, especially for cotton and rice, the crops that depend the most on the direct payments that would be phased out. Producers would have to choose between these subsidies or the revenue insurance.
— Stricter limits on how much money an individual farmer can receive — $125,000 annually on all payments and loans, when some were previously unrestricted. The agreement is less strict than either the House or Senate bills, which had put limits on how much a farmer could receive from individual programs. Language that would limit how many people in a farm operation may receive such payments was also passed by both chambers but taken out of the compromise bill, which would kick the issue to the Agriculture Department.
— More money for government-subsidized crop insurance programs. A Senate amendment that would have lowered crop insurance payouts for the wealthiest farmers was struck from the final version. ||||| Updated 9:07 p.m.
Negotiators agreed Monday evening on a new five-year farm bill that slashes about $23 billion in federal spending by ending direct payments to farmers, consolidating dozens of Agriculture Department programs and by cutting about $8 billion in food stamp assistance.

House leaders said they planned to pass the 950-page bill by Wednesday evening -- meaning that for the second time in two weeks lawmakers will vote on a bill running hundreds of pages just hours after its formal release. Congress already passed a $1.1 trillion omnibus spending package this month within days of its release and with little formal debate.
But the farm bill is already more than two years overdue and a final version has been delayed for several weeks amid haggling over the finer details of government support programs for the dairy industry, concerns with payments to the managers and owners of family farms and labeling for livestock born in other countries but slaughtered in the United States.
The agreement cuts about $19 billion in farm programs, including the end of direct payments to farmers -- some of whom weren't actually farming at all. The program has existed since the 1990s and has been singled out by President Obama and members of both parties in recent years as a prime example of government inefficiency. Another $6 billion will be saved by cutting from 23 to 13 the number of conservation programs operated by the Agriculture Department and its agencies. Another $8 billion will be saved by closing loopholes and ending other misuse of the food stamp program, formally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
Supporters said the measure will slash billions of dollars and help support 16 million jobs in the agriculture industry -- making it the only bipartisan, money-saving jobs bill to pass Congress in recent years.
"We never lost sight of the goal; we never wavered in our commitment to enacting a five-year, comprehensive farm bill," House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank D. Lucas (R-Okla.) said Monday night as he asked colleagues for support.
“This bill proves that by working across party lines, we can reform programs to save taxpayer money while strengthening efforts to grow our economy," Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) said in a statement.
House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) and Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) announced support for the legislation and said the House would vote on the bill Wednesday. Boehner called the deal "a positive step in the right direction" while Cantor said, "This was not an easy task, and it took hard work to arrive here."
Both leaders have expressed concerns with the size and scope of previous farm bills and their tepid support Monday evening signals that many fiscal conservatives will be unhappy that the new agreement doesn't go farther to reduce spending, especially to SNAP.
Over the summer, the House voted to slash about $40 billion over the next decade from the program. The Democratic-controlled Senate voted over the summer to cut only $4 billion. The final agreement achieves savings by tweaking a loophole in a federal heating assistance program that has allowed about a dozen states to pay out as little as $1 to some recipients and boost that person's eligibility for food aid. The changes will require states to pay more in order to qualify people for "heat and eat" benefits and will reduce, but not eliminate, SNAP payments by about $90 monthly for about 850,000 households.
The bill also for the first time establishes pilot programs to encourage food stamp recipients to seek jobs and bars USDA from using money to recruit new beneficiaries or to advertise the program on television, radio and billboards. Addressing years of documented evidence of misuse and abuse of the program, USDA will need to ensure that illegal immigrants, lottery winners, college students and the dead cannot receive food stamps and that people cannot collect benefits in multiple states.
Advocates for low-income families blasted the deal Monday as unfair to the nation's poorest and several urban state lawmakers have said they likely will vote against the overall bill because of the food stamp cuts.
"Only in Washington could a final bill that doubles the already egregious cuts to hungry families while somehow creating less total savings than originally proposed be called progress," Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) said Monday evening in announcing her opposition to the overall bill.
For the first time, the bill authorizes colleges and universities to grow industrial hemp for research purposes in states that permit growth and cultivation of the plant. Currently 11 states -- Colorado, Hawaii, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, Vermont, Washington and West Virginia -- have such laws. Aides noted that the new hemp-themed provisions are among hundreds of policy and spending details buried in the legislation, but the decision is likely to contribute to a growing national debate about the legalization of marijuana both for medicinal and recreational purposes.
Industry groups said Monday night that they were reviewing the legislation, and while the agreement is expected to upset some associations for different reasons, several signaled early support Monday evening, as did organizations pushing for changes to foreign food aid included in the bill.
"The bill is a compromise," said Ray Gaesser, president of the American Soybean Association. "It ensures the continued success of American agriculture, and we encourage both the House and the Senate to pass it quickly." |||||
What is a summary?

– In another outburst of things actually getting done on Capitol Hill, House and Senate negotiators have rolled out a bipartisan farm bill—only two years overdue. The nearly $1 trillion, five-year bill cuts federal spending by around $23 billion, including about $8 billion from the food stamp program. The bill will be voted on in the House tomorrow but it's not clear when it will reach the Senate. The New York Times predicts that the food stamps measure could be a problem both for Senate Democrats, who approved a cut half the size last year, and for House conservatives, who initially approved a whopping $39 billion food stamp cut. The AP details the changes to subsidies, which will remain generous, although direct payments paid whether farmers actually farm or not will end, saving around $4.5 billion a year. There will be more money for crop insurance programs, but the money an individual farmer can receive on all federal payments and loans will be capped at $125,000. Farm lobbyists are broadly in favor of the bill, the Hill finds, but meat and poultry lobbyists will oppose it because two key priorities were not added, including a measure to ditch new country-of-origin labeling rules. Anti-hunger groups are also firmly opposed to the bill because of the food stamp cuts. "They are gutting a program to provide food for hungry people to pay for corporate welfare," fumed the chief of the New York City Coalition Against Hunger. Buried deep in the bill is a provision that will please marijuana legalization advocates, the Washington Post reports. For the first time, colleges and universities will be allowed to grow hemp for research purposes, at least in the 11 states that allow cultivation of the plant.

Problem: Widow of slain officer: body armor failed to stop bullets
Jul 5, 2016 4:53 PM EDT Crimesider
By Crimesider Staff / AP
ATLANTA -- A Georgia police officer's body armor failed to stop bullets from piercing his back, killing him as he worked an off-duty security job, his widow alleges in a federal lawsuit.
Tammy Jordan filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court, saying a vest from Michigan-based Armor Express failed to save the life of her husband, former Griffin Police Officer Kevin Jordan. Jordan was shot five times while intervening in a fight at a Waffle House in Griffin, Georgia, in 2014, according to the lawsuit.
In court documents, Armor Express denied that one of its vests failed to meet standards. The company hasn't seen the vest, and hasn't been given specific information about it, such as how it was being worn, or exactly where Jordan was shot, lawyer John Dixon wrote in court documents. Dixon and a representative of the company did not immediately return phone calls Tuesday.
The vest was designed to protect Officer Jordan "from bullet wounds or being shot by a .40-caliber handgun in his upper, middle and low back areas," Tammy Jordan contends in the lawsuit. "The armored vest specifically physically covered" the parts of Jordan's back where he was shot, she said.
The 43-year-old officer was a father of seven. Tammy Jordan is suing on behalf of herself and the children.
Jordan was working his off-duty security job when he tried to detain a man who was fighting with patrons at the Waffle House on May, 31, 2014, according to the lawsuit. A grand jury later indicted Michael Dwayne Bowman on multiple charges, including murder and aggravated assault of a police officer.
The lawsuit was filed Friday in Georgia's northern district of federal courts after being transferred from a court in Spalding County, Georgia. Tammy Jordan lives in Hampton, Georgia.
The company does business as Armor Express, but is also known as Central Lake Armor Express of Central Lake, Michigan, according to the lawsuit. Armor Express has done business with the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force, along with numerous U.S. and international police forces, according to the company's website.
The site includes examples of shootings in which the company claims that its body armor saved officers from death and injury, such the February shooting of a sheriff's deputy in Lawrence County, Illinois; and the April 2015 shooting of a deputy in Lockport, New York.
Write a one or two sentence summary.
Summary: Georgia police officer Kevin Jordan died after being shot five times in 2014, even though he was wearing a bulletproof vest
Problem: The Twists of the Sean Bell Case (7 Letters)
The trials of the individual officers may address only the symptomatic ills of a society in which institutional racism pervades the systems of law and order. But if the trials encourage the nation to take a closer look at the ways in which Sean Bell’s death was part of a broader pattern of structural violence, then they will do more for the pursuit of justice than senseless killings have ever done.
Emma Tai Providence, R.I., March 20, 2007
In his haste to exonerate the officers charged in the shooting of Sean Bell, Robert Leuci dismisses claims of police racism by noting how two of the shooting officers are black. But the point of identifying police racism is not to identify singularly racist officers. Rather, it is to note that black men are inordinately subject to violence at the hands of the state.
Frequently, this violence is justified with a statement that the officers feared for their safety. And almost invariably, juries sympathize with the officers. Perhaps the racism comes in not because individual offers set out to beat or shoot black men, but because officers and jurors are prepared to see black bodies — such as, we remember, the severely beaten body of Rodney King — as sites of potential violence.
As with most injustices in our world, the source is not individual evil, but structural conditions that bestow great suffering on specific populations.
Chad LavinAtlanta, March 20, 2007
Sure, many of us laypeople are quick to judge the actions of the police under duress, and most of us admit that we cannot imagine what we would do in the situations they face. But just as Robert Leuci warns us to beware of characters like Al Sharpton, who “have made careers out of demonizing the police,” it is equally important to be aware that some cops do take their aggression out on the public.
My own experiences with the police, however few, have been positive, leaving little basis for judgment. But there certainly are cops who react violently at the first sign of danger, real or imagined. Some are rookies, overly enthusiastic about their new authority, some are veterans harboring years of frustration at infinite injustice. Regardless, concluding that “you had to be there” is no less dangerous than assuming that cops who shoot are mechanically corrupt.
Stephanie Gray Chicago, March 20, 2007
I would add a comment to Robert Leuci’s excellent article. In a combat situation it is taught that you keep firing until the threat is eliminated. There is no such thing as an absolute number of shots that is justified across the board.
In addition, there is no such procedure as “shoot to disable.” That is a fantasy from movies and television: shoot the assailant in the shoulder, shoot the gun right out of the assailant’s hand.
Bob Raphael New York, March 20, 2007
Robert Leuci shows the blind spots that he admits plagued him after the Abner Louima tragedy — he assumes the officers acted as he would. There are other explanations for the events he describes, explanations that don’t require believing that Sean Bell, for no reason at all, tried to kill a police officer.
Late at night, shady neighborhood in the aftermath of a heated argument. You’re approached by a man with a gun — but no uniform. You had to be there, but ask yourself, what would you have done?
Eric C. Williams Brooklyn, March 20, 2007
While Robert Leuci makes a strong case for the officers now indicted in Sean Bell’s death, his own rationale may undermine his argument.
Mr. Leuci believes that the officers indicted — under intense pressure, or mortal danger — reacted the only way they knew how; therefore, Sean Bell is to blame. But can’t we say the same thing for Mr. Bell? If he didn’t know that the men approaching him were cops, and believed that his life was in danger, then he reacted the only way he knew how and is not to blame.
If this truly is the case, furthermore, Mr. Leuci is wrong in saying that Mr. Bell used his car as a “3,000-pound weapon” and “twice tried to run the officer down.”

"He earnt that through considered, sound consistent performance," Mr Morrison told reporters in Canberra on Wednesday.
"A treasurer could ask no more, a country could ask no more of a Reserve Bank governor."

Three months had slipped away since the evening on which Wheeler had discussed the subject of shingle-splitting with his companions. Nasmyth stood outside the shanty in the drenching rain. He was very wet and miry, and his face was lined and worn, for the three months of unremitting effort had left their mark on him. Wheeler had secured the timber rights in question, and that was one difficulty overcome, but Nasmyth had excellent reasons for believing that the men who had cast covetous eyes upon the valley had by no means abandoned the attempt to get possession of at least part of it.
He had had flood and frost against him, and his money was rapidly running out. A wild flood swept through the cañon. The heading was filled up, so that no one could even see the mouth of it, and half the rock he had piled upon the shingle had been swept into the rapid, where it had formed a dam among the boulders that could be removed only at a heavy expenditure of time and powder when the water fell. He was worn out in body, and savage from being foiled by the swollen river at each attempt he made, but while the odds against him were rapidly growing heavier he meant to fight.

Veteran actor Victor Spinetti, who starred in all three Beatles films, has died at the age of 82. The Welsh star, who also appeared in a string of acclaimed movies as well as taking roles in the West End and on Broadway, died after a fight with pancreatic cancer. Close friend Barbara Windsor, on whose Radio 2 show he made a recent appearance, was one of his final visitors before his death this morning at a hospice in Monmouth. Respected: Victor Spinetti was told by the late George Harrison he had to star in all the Beatles films, pictured here in 1972. Tributes: Actor Victor Spinetti, pictured left in 2010, died today at a hospice - one of his last visitors was close friend Barbara Windsor, pictured right with the actor in the 1960s. Spinetti’s agent, Barry Burnett, said: 'He had cancer for a year, but he was very cheerful to the end. I spoke to him on Friday and he was talking about his plans and everything.' The versatile actor was able to easily turn his hand from serious classical roles to comedy performances and roles in sitcoms. He was also known as successful stage director, wrote poetry and randomly became known for his appearances in a Jaffa Cake ad campaign as the Mad Jaffa Cake Eater. Star: Victor with John Lennon and Yoko Ono at the National Theatre, in 1969 - the actor starred in all three Beatles films. However, for many fans, Spinetti will always be known for his roles in The Beatles’ three live action films - A Hard Day’s Night, Help! and Magical Mystery Tour. It was his close friendship with the Beatles at the height of their fame which put him on the map. Spinetti was born in Cwm, Wales, on. September 2, 1933, attended Monmouth School and the Cardiff College of. Music and Drama of which in later life he became a fellow. The Wild Affair: Victor Spinetti starred in the hit British satire in 1963. However, his working life began as a waiter and factory worker before he sprang to prominence in three Beatles films of the 1960s: Hard Day’s Night, Help! and Magical Mystery Tour. The late George Harrison once said to him: 'You have got to be in all our films. If you are not in them, my mum won’t come and see them because she fancies you.” During his versatile career, Spinetti appeared in more than 30 films, including Zeffirelli’s The Taming of the Shrew, Under Milk Wood, with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, Voyage of the Damned, The Return of the Pink Panther, and The Krays. Treading the boards: Victor Spinetti in The Merry Widow with Karl Daymond. His work with Joan Littlewood’s Theatre Workshop produced many memorable performances including Fings Ain’t Wot They Used T’Be and Oh! What a Lovely War, which transferred to New York, and for which he won a Tony Award for his role as an obnoxious drill sergeant. His West End appearances included Expresso Bongo, Candide, Cat Among the Pigeons and Chitty, Chitty, Bang Bang, He also played the principal male character in the feminist play, Vagina Rex. He also appeared on Broadway in The Hostage and The Philanthropist. With the Royal Shakespeare Company he appeared as Lord Foppington in The Relapse and as the archbishop in Richard III. Veteran: Victor Spinetti directed and won numerous awards over his 60-year career. Spinetti also co-authored John Lennon In His Own Write, which he directed at the National Theatre. He also directed productions of Jesus Christ Superstar and Hair. His many TV appearances included Take My Wife, and the sitcom An Actor’s Life For Me. Spinetti also wrote poetry, notably Watchers Along The Mall, and prose which have appeared in several publications. His memoirs, Victor Spinetti Up Front, was filled with anecdotes, including the claim that Princess Margaret was instrumental in securing the necessary censor permission for the first run of Oh! What a Lovely War.

"Looks are obviously a big one for guys -- there's no question about that -- but other factors are where a woman is in life, the kind of career she's in and the success or ambition that reflects. Sincerity and loyalty, all of those values that guys appreciate. We ask them to try to really assess the candidates as prospective girlfriends and rank them according to that.

Prime Minister took part in Great Brook Run for the third time. Participating for first time in Oxfordshire run since becoming PM in 2010. Russian President Putin is renowned for his macho exploits. Putin has been pictured competing in judo and holding a rifle while topless.
|
By. Neil Sears. PUBLISHED:. 12:00 EST, 27 December 2012. |. UPDATED:. 20:48 EST, 27 December 2012. Vladimir Putin enjoys posing bare-chested on horseback and with hunting rifles to perpetuate his macho image. In Britain, however, our leader has shown his Russian counterpart how a real action man does it. This was David Cameron yesterday as he got a full soaking during a race along a swollen icy stream in the Cotswolds. The Prime Minister sported a support bandage on his right knee as he took part in the fund-raising competition close to his constituency home in Witney, Oxfordshire. Anything you can do Mr Putin... David Cameron braved muddy conditions and cold water in the Chadlington Brook Run. Feat: David Cameron took part in the Great Brook Run on Thursday afternoon. Tough: The Prime Minister was forced to climb through a low tunnel as part of the annual race. Success: Mr Cameron posed with his wife Samantha after receiving a medal for completing the race. The Great Brook Run requires. competitors to cover a course just over a mile long, and this year. involved considerably more water than usual thanks to recent heavy rain. The stream close to the village of. Chadlington, known as the Great Brook, was raging so much this year that. children normally allowed to compete were barred from wading through. some sections. Cut: The Prime Minister's knee support did not stop him sustaining a nasty-looking graze on his shin. Ready to go: Mr Cameron rubbed his hands in anticipation at the start line of the race. Victory! The exhausted politician was still happy to pose for photographs at the end of the race. Support: Well-wishers cheered on the Prime Minister as they took pictures of his exploits. Hilarity: The fun race is intended as a charity fund-raiser and ends at a local pub. Mr Cameron, however, was able to secure plenty of. photographs of himself taming the torrent. The Prime Minister finished 46th out. of a field of 109 (a few places behind a man dressed as Father. Christmas) with a time of 18 minutes, 23 seconds. He was greeted by wife Samantha at the. end of the run at the Tite Inn. After asking his wife if she had any. money he announced he was planning to have a burger to celebrate. At the end of the race, Mr Cameron was presented with the medal that is given to all competitors. The Great Brook Run, which was first held in 2006, starts and ends at the Tite Inn in Chadlington and aims to raise funds for local good causes. This year, the £5 entry fee was donated to the Chadlington Memorial Hall. Mr Cameron may have been the most famous competitor in this year's race, but he was not the only well-known runner - Olympic medallist hockey player Beth Storry was also invited to run in the race. Joining in: This is the third time Mr Cameron has taken part in the Great Brook Run. Evasive action: The race may not be very long, but runners must brave a cold and muddy stream. Laid-back: He may be the most powerful man in the country, but Mr Cameron sported casual lycra and a pair of shorts nonetheless. Tired out: The Prime Minister relaxed with a fellow competitor after reaching the finishing line. Ice cold: Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin swims in a cold lake during a vacation in southern Siberia.

output: Phoenix is lucky to have a theater like this, and by that I mean one that brings in the documentaries, foreign films, and award nominees that don't get play in the regular multiplexes. Sure, other towns sometimes have one art theater that will play a limited selection of these movies, but to have a multi-screen theater that runs these films continuously throughout the year is just a treat and Harkin's Theatres should be commended for making this available. Yes, it's a little dated inside, and I do wish they had stadium seating, but those are minor complaints. In fact, I'm old enough to remember going to see Tron when it was first released in 1982 at the Camelview (before the mall even had another theater) and I loved the theater then and I still love it today. I certainly hope the rumors that this theater will be demolished to make room for more mall expansion are just rumors because the Camelview Theater is a shining point of light for cinephiles in the Valley and it deserves to remain so.

After shopping on Black Friday with the scorching heat, we decided to dine indoors instead of the patio. Not the greatest idea, we should have just sat outdoor in the heat. It has the cool misters. The wait services and prices are much better in the patio. Two appetizers, three sandwiches, 2 fountain drinks, and 1 alcoholic beverage, our tab came out to $60 (tips not included). $20/person for lunch? Expensive. We should have tried Blue Wasabi in the same complex. (sighs...next trip)

Use the following highlights to write an article:
Ghana is a country rich in history, culture and natural beauty. Mole National Park is home to more than 93 species of mammal. Elmina Castle is the oldest remaining slave castle in Africa. Osu, in Accra, offers visitors a vibrant nightlife.
|
Upon arrival at Kotoka International airport in Ghana's capital city Accra, you are immediately greeted by a sign that says "Akwaaba," which means "Welcome" -- and this is exactly how you will feel when visiting this beautiful West African country. A success story of African development, democracy and stability, Ghana is a nation made up of people that are as warm as its climate. Rich in history, culture and natural beauty, it's the perfect introduction to Africa if you are a first-time traveler to the continent, or a great alternative for those who have exhausted the Safari circuit, and crave a different African experience. There is something for everyone in Ghana, ranging from nature trails and UNESCO World Heritage sites to bustling markets, tranquil beaches and vibrant nightlife. Wildlife. There are 15 national parks and reserves across the country. A must see is Kakum National Park, in the central region. The area is covered with stunning tropical rainforest and rare animals, and a long series of hanging bridges known as the Canopy Walkway. Not for the faint hearted, the walkway is located at the forest canopy level, and is secured by a series of nets and wires for safety. The walkway provides tourists with a spectacular vantage point of the beautiful surroundings. Another great place to visit is Ghana's largest wildlife refuge, Mole National Park. The park is located in northwest Ghana, and the park's entrance is reached through the nearby town of Larabanga. It is home to over 93 mammal species, with large mammals including elephants, hippos, buffalo, and warthogs. The park is considered a primary African preserve for numerous antelope species; olive baboons, black-and-white colobus monkeys and the green vervet are among the monkey species resident there. Slender-snouted and dwarf crocodiles are among the 33 known species of reptiles that call this breathtaking park home. Read more: 26 of the most stunning spots in Africa. Heritage. The country became a major economic hub with the emergence of the slave trade, and several slave castles erected by the Europeans in 15th century remain standing. Built by the Portuguese in 1482, Elmina Castle is the oldest remaining slave castle in Africa. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it has become a pilgrimage site, drawing thousands of visitors from around the world -- in particular African-Americans and Caribbean people seeking to connect with their heritage. The town of Elmina surrounding the castle is a vibrant, robust fishing community with an incredible amount of energy and color. Accra. If you don't want to venture far from the capital, there is a lot to do right in Accra. For beach bums, Labadi beach is perfect for soaking up the African sun, and being entertained while you do it. Drumming, cultural dancing and music can all be seen and heard on holidays and during the weekend. Tourists can also visit local cultural attractions such as Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, W.E.B Dubois Center or head to the Arts Center, where a multitude of stalls sell crafts from all around the country. After a day of relaxing at the beach or visiting the cultural sites, visitors can head to the upscale area of Osu, in central Accra, to sample the nightlife. Locally referred to as the "West End," Osu boasts an impressive number of local and international restaurants offering a range of cuisines. There are also several options for club hoppers and lounge goers. One of the latest additions to nightlife in Accra is Republic Bar and Grill. With indoor and outdoor seating the bar has a retro vibe, and celebrates Ghanaian food, music, culture and art. Republic has a wonderful list of drinks, ranging from cold local beers, to exotic cocktails and herbal teas made with fresh ingredients. The bar also serves a wonderful menu of finger foods including fried yam/cassava, kelewele (fried plantain seasoned with delicious spices) and chicken wings seasoned with local spices. Read also: What Ghana can teach the rest of Africa about democracy. Kumasi. If Accra whets your city-touring appetite to then a trip to Kumasi is highly recommended. The five-hour bus ride from Accra is a great way to see more of the country, and the VIP coaches are cheap and comfortable, showing local movies to entertain you. There is plenty to do upon arrival to Ghana's second-biggest city. Kumasi is home to the bustling Kejetia Market, which has more than 10,000 stores and stalls, and is said to be the biggest in West Africa. Visitors can buy a wide variety of items such as hand-crafted wooden sculptures and masks, paintings, native fabric, spices, handmade jewelry and much more. Kumasi is also home to the National Cultural Centre, the Menhya Palace and Lake Bosumtri. The lake is the only natural lake in Ghana and the area is peaceful and tranquil. Like Accra, Kumasi also has a vibrant nightlife with restaurants and entertainment to suit all tastes. When it comes to accomodation, Ghana offers everything from homestays to five-star accommodation. Major international chains include Golden Tulip, Novotel, Best Western and Movenpic. The Marriot, Sheraton and Hilton Hotels are set to open later in 2013.

Write an article based on this "Play with more than one person. Increase the mathematical difficulty by adding nubs. Use leftovers to make the game last longer."
article: You can have three players, or you could have a whole circle of players. Everyone should stand in a circle and face toward the middle so that everyone's hands are visible. Take turns going clockwise or counterclockwise, and keep in mind that you aren't limited to only tapping the people directly next to you. Adding people will make the game stretch on much longer. This method requires much more focus to win. With so many people playing, there may be a person with a hand about to reach five fingers who splits their fingers and it goes unnoticed by the group. Make sure that everyone is following the same set of rules before starting. There is no wrong way to play but make sure everyone is in agreement with rules before starting a round. Rather than having fully extended fingers for the whole game, you can used curled fingers or "nubs." Nubs are created by splitting an odd number of fingers on one of your turns. Two nubs equal one finger so it takes longer to make a combination or nubs and full fingers equal enough for a dead hand. Decide if nubs are allowed at the beginning of the game. A desperate player will often add the nubs variant when they are about to lose. An example for splitting fingers into nubs can look like this: there are two fingers on your left hand and three on your right. If you split them, you can put 2.5 fingers or, two fingers and a nub, on either hand. Nubs are most beneficial for when you have a total uneven amount of fingers. You must complete someone's nub in order to make it a full finger. To make a dead hand you must have five full fingers, not four full fingers and one nub. A hand does not die but instead stays in the game or comes "back to life" when a tapped hand exceeds five fingers in a turn. When using leftovers, you can add three and four fingers together to get 7 fingers, which equals a dead hand plus two more. Sometimes this variation is called "zombies." This rule could make the game could go on forever since you recycle fingers. The only option for a dead hand is that it equals exactly five fingers when tapped.
Write an article based on this "Take a short nap during the night or right before it starts. Make sure the lights are on and bright. Stay busy, and move. Cool down the room."
article: Okay, this isn’t exactly staying up all night, but taking a nap for even a few minutes can improve performance and minimize signs of sleepiness. Even a little shut eye can help you stay up for the rest of the night. One study found that people did better with just a 26-minute nap. So shut your eyes for just a little bit, and you should find it easier to make it through the entire night and next day. The key here is to take a short nap because otherwise you could end up in a deep sleep, which is very hard to wake out of. You could also sleep a little bit longer the night before you know you will be up all night. The body will “bank” the sleep, and it will be easier to get through the stretch of sleeplessness without it. Your body clock is actually aware of changes in light and darkness, and you will feel more awake in the light. The body clock is linked physically to the eyes. If you’re super tired the next day, go outside. The sunlight will also function to wake your body up more. The darkness causes the body to produce melatonin, which is the sleep hormone. People’s instinct is often to turn down the lights at night, but that’s probably going to make you more sleepy as the body perceives it’s time to call it a night. Turning the lights higher than normal will trick the body. The brain is going to be more alert after you move a bit. If you don’t have time to exercise, you could just engage in a conversation, wash the dishes – do something to focus your body on a new action for a time. Changing an activity also might wake the body up more. The body will become more alert to compensate for the new activity. The body feels less tired when you’re busy because it will focus on the task instead of the lack of sleep. Mental activities also may help you stay awake by keeping your focus on something other than the fact you're tired. So try playing a game. Some mental activities, like reading a book, may make you more sleepy, though, especially if you do them while lying down. You could listen to a talking radio show though. The body temperature naturally lowers during sleep, so people sleep better when it’s colder. However, a hot room is probably going to make you feel drowsy. Other ways to trick the body into feeling more wakeful include taking a cold shower and getting dressed up for your day. In addition to turning down the room temperature, you could also open a window. The breeze should help you stay awake, in addition to the lower temperature (if it's cool outside).

Problem: The Airbus A321, operated by the Russian airline Kogalymavia, took off from Sharm el-Sheikh airport at 05:58 (03:58 GMT) on 31 October.
At 06:14 Egyptian time (04:14 GMT), the plane failed to make scheduled contact with air traffic control based in Larnaca, Cyprus.
The plane disappeared from radar screens six minutes later while flying over central Sinai. Egyptian authorities said no SOS calls were received by air traffic controllers.
Russia's Interfax news agency cited a source in Cairo as saying "uncharacteristic" sounds were picked up by the cockpit voice recorder before the plane disappeared from radar screens. "The recordings suggest that an emergency situation occurred on board unexpectedly and took the crew by surprise," the source said.
Data released by the flight tracking website Flightradar24 showed that just before the radar signal was lost, the aircraft reached an altitude of more than 33,000ft (10,060m), then started to descend with a vertical speed of about 6,000ft a minute. The plane's forward speed meanwhile dropped to around 170km/h (105mph), slower than the speed necessary to continue safe flight.
Egyptian military aircraft subsequently located the wreckage of the plane in the Hasana area, 95km (59 miles) south of the Mediterranean coastal town of el-Arish.
Russian officials said the wreckage was scattered across a 20 sq km (7.7-sq mile) area, meaning that the plane broke up in mid-air before falling to earth.
Russia said on 17 November that a "terror act" was responsible for the crash and that "traces of foreign explosives" were found on debris of the Airbus.
UK security service investigators say they suspect someone with access to the aircraft's baggage compartment inserted an explosive device inside or on top of the luggage just before the plane took off.
A US official told AP on 4 November that US intelligence agencies also had preliminary evidence that suggested a bomb planted by the local affiliate of the jihadist group Islamic State (IS) brought down the plane.
Militants from that affiliate, known as Sinai Province, said they brought down the plane shortly after it crashed, with a spokesman claiming this was "in response to Russian air strikes that killed hundreds of Muslims on Syrian land". But he did not provide evidence, asserting: "We are not obliged to disclose the mechanism of its demise."
Egyptian officials have said it is too early to draw conclusions on the cause. Both of the plane's "black boxes" have been recovered as part of the investigation.
Sinai plane crash: Four theories
Could Islamic State have bombed Flight 9268?
Egypt is leading the investigation, with the help of Russian and other international experts.
Air accident investigators from France - home of Airbus, which manufactured the plane - are also involved.
As the plane was registered in Ireland - the home of the company that leased the aircraft to Kogalymavia - a team of Irish investigators have also travelled to Egypt.
German experts are also involved because the plane was assembled in Germany in 1997, and its flight recorders were made there.
The plane was carrying 224 people in total, including 219 Russian citizens, four Ukrainians and one Belarus national. Of the 217 passengers, 17 were children. Most of the passengers were tourists.
Many of the victims were members of the same families. A large number of them shared the same last name, and it appears that in some cases three generations of the same family perished in what is believed to be the worst air disaster involving a Russian plane.
Sinai plane crash: The victims
The twin-engine A321 has a range of up to 7,400km (4,000 nautical miles). It can accommodate up to 220 passengers.
The plane which crashed was 18 years old, making it one of the oldest A321s in service. It had flown for 56,000 hours over nearly 21,000 flights, according to Airbus.
It was produced in May 1997 and delivered to the Lebanese carrier Middle East Airlines. It changed hands eight times before being leased in 2012 to Kogalymavia, an airline based in western Siberia that also operates under the name Metrojet.
The plane was registered in Ireland and leased to Kogalymavia by Willmington Trust SP Services (Dublin) Ltd. According to the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA), it passed an annual airworthiness certificate in March 2015.
However, the plane had been damaged in 2001, when it was operated by Middle East Airlines, suffering a tail strike on a Cairo runway.
Kogalymavia has said that the damage was fully repaired and would not have affected the plane.
The plane's engines had also been checked on 26 October, Kogalymavia said, and it underwent a major maintenance inspection and overhaul in Turkey in March 2014.
The A321 has a generally good safety record. According to a study by aircraft manufacturer Boeing of crashes between 1959 and 2014, there were 22 incidents in which a plane from the A321 family was damaged beyond repair - known in the industry as a "hull loss".

Problem: The Deal or No Deal host claimed he has suffered "deep distress and public humiliation" because of the scandal.
He alleges that Mark Dobson, a HBOS manager who was jailed, helped destroy his business called Unique Group.
Mr Edmonds's lawyers have written to Antonio Horta-Osorio, chief executive of HBOS owner Lloyds, seeking payment.
Two former employees at HBOS's Reading office were part of a £245m loans scam that cheated small business customers by insisting that they use a specific turnaround firm.
The HBOS managers were then compensated with bribes including cash and prostitutes. They were eventually jailed along with four other people involved in the scam.
Lloyds subsequently set up a £100m fund to compensate 64 victims of the fraud.
Mr Edmonds's lawyer Jonathan Coad, from Keystone Law, said he would be pressing for half that amount to go to his client.
"We expect half of the £100m to go to my client, and we expect Lloyds will have to increase their provision substantially," Mr Coad said.
Lloyds has said it would increase the amount of compensation if a review found that to be necessary.
The letter to Mr Horta-Osorio says that Mr Edmonds' "reputation as a successful business entrepreneur was destroyed by humiliating media coverage of the collapse of his business empire".
Mr Edmonds confirmed that his lawyers had sent a letter. He said: "I am now trusting that Mr Horta-Osorio is true to his word and ensures that I am 'fairly, swiftly and appropriately' compensated for both the destruction of my businesses and the significant damage to my reputation.
"If he is not, then I will pursue my claim against Lloyds via the courts."
His lawyer said Mr Edmonds had litigation funding in place should legal action proceed.
Lloyds said last month it would start making compensation offers to HBOS fraud victims in May, with payments expected to begin in June.

Text: But the Scottish Government has urged residents and those travelling in difficult weather conditions to remain vigilant.
Finance Secretary John Swinney said he will consider emergency funding for local authorities to help deal with the flood damage.
The Bellwin Scheme was activated after representations from Moray Council.
Elgin's £86m flood alleviation scheme was put to the test on Monday when the area was hit by the remnants of Hurricane Bertha.
But 200 homes were evacuated over fears the River Lossie would burst its banks where the project is not completed.
Roads company, Bear Scotland, said "good progress" was being made in removing debris that closed the A835 Ullapool road at Leckhelm on Monday.
Bear Scotland said the road would continue to operate under a convoy system at least on an hourly basis until flood water in the area receded.
Bridge comparison
One of the most photographed landmarks during the height of Monday's flooding was the Old Bridge of Carr at Carrbridge, a village near Aviemore.
Kumaran Krishnan photographed the crossing two days earlier and said the scene at that time was "serene".
The high span, humpback rubble bridge was constructed in 1717 so pedestrians and horses could cross the River Dulnain.
According to the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland's Canmore site, it is said to have been known as a funeral bridge.
This was because it was used for the carrying of coffins to a nearby burial ground.
It was said to have been built at the expense of the local parish by stonemason John Niccelsone at a cost of £100.
Properties in parts of Aberdeenshire were also evacuated on Monday as the water level rose.
In Huntly, residents in local care homes were moved to the town's Jubilee Hospital, while about 150 people staying in a caravan park in Ballater were also evacuated.
Finance Secretary John Swinney said: "We know, and I have seen for myself, just how devastating the effects of flooding can be for our communities. That is why I have today agreed to activate the Bellwin Scheme to provide support to affected councils to assist with immediate and unforeseen costs of dealing with the aftermath of the severe weather.
"As the full impact on local communities continues to be assessed, we stand ready to provide urgent assistance and the Scottish government will consider applications from local authorities for emergency funding through the Bellwin Scheme."
Environment and Climate Change Minister, Paul Wheelhouse, said some parts of Scotland had experienced some of the worst flooding in years.
He said: "I'd like to pay tribute to all those involved in supporting communities affected.
"The councils, local fire and rescue services, other emergency services, utility companies and volunteers in local communities reacted very swiftly to minimise the impact of rising water levels."
Torrential rain brought by ex-Hurricane Bertha caused the wettest day of the year so far, with Fair Isle in Shetland seeing 132.6mm of rain between 10:00 on Saturday and 10:00 on Monday - almost double the 70.3mm full-month average for August.
Lossiemouth in Moray was deluged with 100mm of rain during the same time, despite a full-month average of 61.9mm. Parts of Aberdeenshire saw wind gusts of 50mph.
Arrangements were made for some of the evacuated residents to be taken to a rest centre set up at Elgin High School.
A Moray Council spokesman said: "We evacuated homes along the River Lossie but it was very much as a precaution. No homes have been damaged at the moment but the river was getting perilously close to bursting its banks.
"It's an area that's been badly affected be flooding in the past so we wanted to act quickly."
Sand bags were distributed to residents, with areas along the rivers Spey, Dee and Deveron on alert.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) earlier had almost 40 flood warnings in place, indicating flooding is expected, but this has since been reduced to 14.
Six flood alerts, where flooding is possible, have also been issued.
Drivers have been urged to exercise caution on northern routes.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said crews attended more than 50 incidents in the Highlands, many of which involved people being stranded after attempting to drive through flooded sections of road.
On the rail network, flooding at Kingussie mean trains are not running between Perth and Inverness and there are no trains between Aberdeen and Inverness. Replacement bus services have been put in place.
ScotRail said trains in the Highlands and the north east would not be fully operational until Wednesday at the earliest.
The Mountaineering Council of Scotland (MCofS) said an important footbridge for walkers in the Cairngorms had been washed away.
The footbridge across the Derry Burn at the foot of Glen Derry - a link to the famous Lairig Ghru Pass - was lifted from its foundations and swept downstream.
The MCofS said the Lairig Ghru was impassable by the Luibeg branch of the foot track.
A large area of rock fall caused by torrential rain has left a popular in Cairngorm footpath in an unstable and dangerous state.
The MCofS said slabs from the cliffs above the Goat Track path in Coire an t-Sneachda had fallen across the track.
summary: Most people evacuated from flood-hit areas amid torrential downpours have returned to their homes.
input: Article: Osman Iqbal, who was an officer based in Birmingham, was jailed in September for seven years for running a brothel.
Iqbal, 37, whose crimes can only now be reported in full for the first time, was in court again on Wednesday, when he admitted three misconduct offences.
Ch Insp Martin Brennan said Iqbal's "greed had been his downfall".
The crooked policeman's double life as a gangster was unveiled as a result of his decision to drive the Ferrari to Kings Heath police station.
Colleagues became suspicious and West Midlands Police's counter-corruption unit began investigating.
Officers discovered Iqbal, from Ward End, had bank accounts for two non-existent businesses that were being used to launder "hundreds of thousands of pounds" from brothels in the Covent Garden and Marylebone areas of London.
During their investigations, detectives also found Iqbal had attempted to access police intelligence systems.
Iqbal was asked by Nahiem Ajmal, a Birmingham religious leader, to obtain information on behalf of Sajad Khan, West Midlands Police said.
It was for these crimes that Iqbal appeared in court on Wednesday, admitting three counts of misconduct in public office. Ajmal and Khan were both convicted of the same offence.
The lifting of restrictions means it can now be reported that Iqbal is already serving a seven-year sentence.
He was jailed in September along with other gang members after admitting conspiracy to run a brothel, conspiracy to launder money and possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply.
Ch Insp Brennan, from the serious and organised crime unit, said: "Their greed was their downfall and when they were seen driving around in their supercars it didn't take us long to piece together exactly what they were up to and take action."
Insp Tracey McGrath said: "Occasionally there are people who disgracefully betray the public and even their own colleagues by exploiting their status for their own gain.
"Let me reassure people that my counter-corruption team are on to people like Iqbal and there's nowhere for them to hide.

Defeated: Charles Saatchi with his new girlfriend Trinny Woodall When he successfully blocked a neighbour’s plans for a huge basement conversion, Charles Saatchi thought he had reason to celebrate. But now the multimillionaire advertising tycoon has suffered a triple blow. For not only has the neighbour been given permission for a scaled-down version of the project but two other residents in the exclusive Chelsea street have announced plans for basement conversions of their own. Saatchi, 71, faced allegations of hypocrisy when he and his then wife Nigella Lawson objected to the original plans three years ago. The couple had just spent a fortune turning their £12.3million property into a seven-bedroom dream home.

Nick Clegg today refused to back George Osborne’s demand for massive cuts in the welfare bill, arguing parents aged under-25 should not be banned from claiming housing benefit. The Liberal Democrat leader said he would ‘knock on the head’ the idea of Conservative plans for a £10billion cut to the welfare budget. But he said he was open to the idea of some limits on housing benefit, putting himself at odds with Lib Dem deputy leader Simon Hughes who said last night: ‘We’ve not signed up to cutting housing benefit and I don’t imagine for a moment we will.'

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Fill a 5 gallon (18.9 L) bucket with sand, rocks, concrete, or even water. Use it to do curls or attach two of them to a bar or board and use as a bench press. Take 2 packs of 6 bottles each and duct tape them symmetrically to an iron bar you can grip easily. This barbell will be good for any exercise you do with a barbell, like lifts and presses. If these 2 packs are too much, don't use half filled bottles. Half-filled bottles will slosh around and shake the bar. Instead, tape individual filled bottles to the bar. If 2 packs aren't enough, use four or six packs of bottles taped to the bar. Alternately, tape individual bottles to each end of the bar. First line them horizontally along the bar side by side, then stack them on top of each other. Make sure to leave plenty of room for your hands to grip the bar in wide and narrow grips. The taping must be functional. Make horizontal, vertical, and diagonal rounds to wrap the packs to the bar. Tires are used in many workout and bodybuilding routines. You can add additional weights to regular tires when doing workouts, or you can go to a junkyard and find tractor tires. Flipping them and tying a rope to them to pull behind you are only two ways you can use a tire as a weight. Slosh tubes are long plastic tubes filled with about 40 pounds of water. But the workout benefits come from the uneven, sloshing water, which makes you use muscles as you try to keep the water balanced as it goes from one end of the tube to the other. You can make your own slosh tube with a PVC pipe. The pipe should be about 4 inches in diameter and 9-10 feet long. Place a cap on one end, then fill the pipe halfway with water. Cap the other end. Sandbags are similar to slosh tubes in that they are unstable, shifting weights that require you to engage more muscles. To make an easy sandbag, fill 5 or 6 gallon freezer bags with sand. You want the sandbag to be around 50 or 60 pounds. Double bag the bags so they don't break, and then tape the end. Place the bags into the duffle bag. Zip up the duffle bag, and you are ready to work out! An alternate way to make a sandbag is to use an old army/navy rucksack or canvas laundry bag. Use contractor garbage bags to fill with pea gravel. You can fill them with 10, 20, or 25 pounds. Fill 5 or 6 bags with gravel, and secure them with duct tape. Add them to the bag until your desired weight. Add and remove bags of sand or gravel for different weights. Use a scale to determine how heavy the bag is before you start working out, and add or remove weight accordingly. If you don't want to change the weight, you can add the sand or gravel directly into the bag. You cannot easily remove the weight or add weight if you do this. Make sure to leave some room in the interior bags so the sand or gravel can move around. If you are adding a large amount of weight, use a sturdier duffle bag.
Summary: Use 5 gallon (18.9 L) buckets. Make a barbell with water bottles. Find old tires lying around the yard. Build a slosh tube. Use a duffle bag to make a sandbag.
Showing up to a party too early shows that you have nothing else to do, and could make people think you're desperate. Arriving too late may mean that you miss everything and the party is already over. A good rule of thumb is to arrive at the party when it's in full swing, typically around 11:30 p.m. Once the party is dwindling down make sure that you leave. It's embarrassing to be kicked out of the party once it's over. When groups of people start to leave, that's your cue. Not all frats are created equal, and many of them have different cultures and house rules. Make sure that when you are going to a frat house, you like the culture of the frat so you can meet people with similar interests and maximize your fun. Showing up to a party alone can increase your stress. If you bring friends to the party, you'll have someone to talk to before you can start warming up to strangers. Make sure to bring people of both genders. Sometimes frat parties won't allow a group of guys to go in unless they have females with them. Don't forget to open up and be social with other people. Limit conversation with your friends so you can meet new people.
++++++++++
One-sentence summary -- Show up when the party is kicking into high gear and leave before it ends. Choose the frat house that's right for you. Bring a couple of friends.
Q: After you’ve had some practice comparing decimals, this step will no longer be necessary, but writing out the decimals will force you to pay attention to the numbers. You can write the decimals you’re comparing out in one of several ways including both side by side, vertical, and table. If you’re most comfortable comparing numbers written side-by-side, write the decimals out this way. Most math problems dealing with inequalities are written this way. A side by side decimal comparison would be the following: 0.6 = 0.60 .34 > .10 502.50 < 599.22 2000.00 > .001 You may find it easier to compare decimals by writing each decimal on top of the other, as you would if you were adding them. If you write the numbers vertically, write them so the decimal points line up vertically. Make a grid, filling in each space with a digit or a decimal point, again making sure that the decimal points line up vertically.
A: Write out the decimals you’re comparing. Write Side-by-side. Compose Vertically. Know how to organize decimals in a table.
Problem: Article: Goo Gone is a product made specifically for removing adhesives, or anything that is sticky or greasy in general. It can be purchased from a supermarket or online. A bottle will typically be around $5 USD or less. There several Goo Gone products. The Original Goo Gone will work to remove the decal. You can also purchase it in a spray gel form, or buy the Goo Gone Sticker Lifter. They are slightly different products, but they work in the same way. You can also make a homemade Goo Gone by adding 1 part vegetable oil with 2 parts baking soda. Put the contents in a bowl or jar. Take the product and apply it to the decal with a rag or paper towel. If using a spray, spray it on and use a paper towel to spread the product over all of the decal. Use as much product as necessary to cover the entire decal. Once it is covered with Goo Gone, you should leave it on the decal for about 4 or 5 minutes. The decal should be loosened up at that point. Then, take a plastic ice scraper or similar tool and lift the decal from the bathtub. Start around the edges and work towards the center. Continue to use the tool until the decal has been completely removed. Use more Goo Gone if any sticky residue remains. Use hot, soapy water with a sponge or rag and wash the surface of the bathtub. This is to remove any Goo Gone residue. The adhesive residue should be gone at this point.
Summary:
|
Purchase Goo Gone. Apply the product on the decal. Allow a few minutes for the product to sit. Wipe the surface.

Talking Heads were an American rock band formed in 1975 in New York City and active until 1991. The band comprised David Byrne (lead vocals, guitar), Chris Frantz (drums), Tina Weymouth (bass), and Jerry Harrison (keyboards, guitar). Described by critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine as "one of the most critically acclaimed bands of the '80s", the group helped to pioneer new wave music by integrating elements of punk, art rock, funk, and world music with avant-garde sensibilities and an anxious, clean-cut image. Former art school students, who became involved in the 1970s New York punk scene, Talking Heads released their debut
After releasing four albums in barely four years, the group went into hiatus, and nearly three years passed before their next release, although Frantz and Weymouth continued to record with the Tom Tom Club. In the meantime, Talking Heads released a live album The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads, toured the United States and Europe as an eight-piece group, and parted ways with Eno, who went on to produce albums with U2. 1983 saw the release of Speaking in Tongues, a commercial breakthrough that produced the band's only American Top 10 hit, "Burning Down the House". Once again, a striking video was inescapable owing to its heavy rotation on MTV. The following tour was documented in Jonathan Demme's Stop Making Sense, which generated another live album of the same name. The tour in support of Speaking in Tongues was their last. Three more albums followed: 1985's Little Creatures (which featured the hit singles "And She Was" and "Road to Nowhere"), 1986's True Stories (Talking Heads covering all the soundtrack songs of Byrne's musical comedy film, in which the band also appeared), and 1988's Naked. Little Creatures offered a much more American pop-rock sound as opposed to previous efforts. Similar in genre, True Stories hatched one of the group's most successful hits, "Wild Wild Life", and the accordion-driven track "Radio Head", which became the etymon of the band of the same name. Naked explored politics, sex, and death, and showed heavy African influence with polyrhythmic styles like those seen on Remain in Light. During that time, the group was falling increasingly under David Byrne's control and, after Naked, the band went on "hiatus". It took until December 1991 for an official announcement to be made that Talking Heads had broken up. Their final release was "Sax and Violins", an original song that had appeared earlier that year on the soundtrack to Wim Wenders' Until the End of the World. During this breakup period, Byrne continued his solo career, releasing Rei Momo in 1989 and The Forest in 1991. This period also saw a revived flourish from both Tom Tom Club (Boom Boom Chi Boom Boom and Dark Sneak Love Action) and Harrison (Casual Gods and Walk on Water), who toured together in the summer of 1990.

X is an American punk rock band, formed in Los Angeles in 1977, among the first wave of American punk. The original members are vocalist Exene Cervenka, vocalist/bassist John Doe, guitarist Billy Zoom and drummer D.J. Bonebrake. The band released seven studio albums from 1980 to 1993. After a period of inactivity during the mid to late 1990s, X reunited in the early 2000s, and currently tours.
Despite the overwhelmingly positive critical reception for their first four albums, the band was frustrated by its lack of wider mainstream success. Zoom had also stated that he would leave the band unless its next album was more successful. The band decided to change producers in search of a more accessible sound. Their fifth record, Ain't Love Grand!, was produced by pop metal producer Michael Wagener. It featured a drastic change in sound, especially in the polished and layered production, while the band's punk roots were little in evidence, replaced by a countrified version of hard rock. The change in production was intended to bring the band more chart success, but although it received more mainstream radio play than their earlier releases, it did not represent a commercial breakthrough. Zoom left the group shortly thereafter in 1986, the same year in which the feature-length documentary film, X: The Unheard Music, was released. Zoom was initially replaced by Alvin, who had left the Blasters. The band then added a fifth member, guitarist Tony Gilkyson, formerly of the band Lone Justice. By the time the band released its sixth album, See How We Are, Alvin had already left the band, although he played on the record along with Gilkyson and wrote 4th of July for the band. Like Ain't Love Grand, the album's sound was far removed from the band's punk origins, yet featured a punchy, energetic, hard-rocking roots rock sound that in many ways represented a more natural progression from their earlier sound than the previous record had. After touring for the album, X released a live record of the tour, titled Live at the Whisky a Go-Go, and then went on an extended hiatus. Back in 1984, X had released a cover version of "Wild Thing" as a non-album single. In 1989, the song was re-released as the lead single from the soundtrack to the hit film Major League. It later became a staple at sporting events, particularly baseball games, and was used by Japanese professional wrestler Atsushi Onita after he founded Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling in 1989.

A New Yorker who served 29 years behind bars for a murder he didn't commit walked free today after his conviction was thrown out. David McCallum, who has spent nearly two-thirds of his life in prison, sobbed into his hands as Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Matthew D'Emic vacated his conviction on Wednesday. McCallum, 45, said he was feeling mixed emotions because his fellow convict, Willie Stuckey, had passed away behind bars in 2001 before he could see their names cleared. It's 'a bittersweet moment, because I'm walking out alone,' he told reporters outside the court.

She was 76. Best known as an artist for 1973's sultry "Pillow Talk," Robinson was a "trendsetter" in music, publicist Lynn K. Hobson told CNN. "She was known as the founder of hip-hop," Hobson said. "She was vibrant, with an over-the-top personality." Robinson's singing, producing and songwriting career dated back to the 1950s, when she recorded as "Little Sylvia" and later as one half of the duo "Mickey & Sylvia." The team's hit "Love Is Strange," which hit the pop charts in early 1957 and reached No. 1 on the rhythm-and-blues chart, found new life three decades later in the 1987 movie "Dirty Dancing." She also produced "Love On a Two-Way Street" for the Moments in 1970. Born Sylvia Vanterpool, Robinson and her late husband, Joe, founded Sugar Hill Records in 1979 and released the early hip hop hit, "Rapper's Delight," performed by the Sugar Hill Gang. Her eldest son, Joey, was a member of the group she formed. The song, which adapted the musical track of Chic's "Good Times," began with the familiar lines, "I said a hip hop, a hippie, a hippie to the hip hip hop, you don't stop to rock it." The label also signed Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, which had success in the 1980s, including the hit "The Message." Kanye West and Alicia Keys are among the artists who sampled songs associated with Robinson, Hobson said. The funeral is scheduled for October 11 at Community Baptist Church in Englewood, New Jersey. "RIP to my grandmother," MTV personality Darnell Robinson, the entrepreneur's grandson, wrote on his Twitter account Thursday. "We lost Mommy Sylvia this morning but she will never be forgotten!" CNN's Phil Gast contributed to this report.
Q: A special memorial has marked the 20th anniversary of Hillsborough tragedy. 96 Liverpool supporters died in crush at the Leppings Lane End of the stadium. The Taylor Report into the deaths led to all-seater grounds in English football.
****
A: (CNN) -- Over 28,000 Liverpool fans marked the 20th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster in a special memorial service at Anfield on Wednesday. Liverpool supporters at the Kop end paid their respects in an emotional afternoon at Anfield. A total of 96 supporters died on April 15, 1989 before the FA Cup semifinal between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at Sheffield Wednesday's stadium, the worst-ever tragedy in English sporting history. To commemorate the anniversary, the city of Liverpool came to a standstill at 3.06 pm (1406 GMT) with the bells of the two cathedrals and its civic buildings ringing out in memory of those fans who lost their lives. On Anfield's famous Kop, 96 candles were lit while commemorations took place at Hillsborough and also in Nottingham. Watch fans mark Hillsborough ». Members of the current Liverpool team stood somberly as hymns were played before a roll call of the dead was read out. Club legend Kenny Dalglish, who was Liverpool manager at the time of the disaster, then read a short prayer. The mayor of Liverpool, Steve Rotherham, who was at the game 20 years ago, helped organize the emotional memorial. "Hillsborough affected so many lives, not just on Merseyside but across the whole of the UK," he said. "I attended the match 20 years ago and the passing years do not diminish the importance and the poignancy of this occasion." Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, whose 10-year-old cousin Jon-Paul Gilhooley was the youngest victim of the tragedy, spoke of his feelings this week. "Time has gone by, but the scars will never ever be healed and the fans will never ever forget. So you can always rely on our supporters to be there for you when you need them." The Liverpool fans died in a crush which started just before the kick-off as the gate at the Leppings Lane End was opened with terrible consequences. The match started but when the scale of the tragedy became clear, it was swiftly abandoned at 3.06 pm. In the immediate aftermath, the British government commissioned Lord Justice Taylor to conduct an inquiry which would have a far-reaching impact on football. Taylor was deeply critical of the police operation at Hillsborough, but his most significant recommendations were the removal of perimeter fencing and the creation of all-seater stadia. His report also cleared Liverpool fans of blame for the tragedy after lurid tabloid headlines provoked revulsion on Merseyside. Prime minister Gordon Brown paid reference to the controversy in an interview released on Liverpool's official television channel. "It was wrong for people to blame, as some did, Liverpool fans on that day," he said. "That's probably what matters most -- that people understood that the behavior of Liverpool fans in helping each other was magnificent. "Let's never forget the fans who cruelly lost their lives on a day when we know the people of Liverpool were trying to help each other," he added. However, the people of Liverpool are still angry and bitter at the lack of justice for those who died -- and that frustration surfaced when Andy Burnham, the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport took to the stand to address the crowd. As Burnham spoke, the crowd rose as one to sing "Justice for the 96". The Kop chant boomed around the stadium and Burnham, an Everton fan, was left in no doubt about the strength of feeling over the lack of accountability from officialdom over the tragedy. Fittingly, the ceremony was concluded with Gerry Marsden leading the fans in singing Liverpool anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone'.
Q: Play resumed in the third-round French Open match on Sunday. Match was suspended on Saturday night at 3-6, 6-3, 6-3, 4-6, 7-7. Murray claimed the match on his second match point, 12-10 in the fifth. The epic five-setter ended after 247 minutes of time on court. He now meets Spain's Fernando Verdasco in the fourth round.

Not since Wimbledon has Andy Murray played 40 minutes of tennis as nerve shredding as this passage that came on a Parisian lunchtime, the conclusion of which saw him squeeze through to the last 16 of the French Open. Resuming at 7-7 against world No 24 Philipp Kohlschreiber he needed to draw on all his Grand Slam experience to eke out a 3-6 6-3 6-3 4-6 12-10 victory that took two days to complete and 247 minutes on the court. Murray fired home a backhand return winner on his second match point when he finally managed to prise open the highly-skilled German who, if anything, had looked the slightly better player on the resumption. Appreciation: Andy Murray thanks the crowd after winning a nerve-shredding five setter at Roland Garros. Epic: Murray overcame Kohlschreiber 12-10 in the fifth set of their French Open third round match. Going for it: Kohlschreiber pushed Murray all the way in their match, which resumed at 7-7 in the fifth set. Great Scot: Murray is a study of concentration as he plays a backhand on Saturday night. 'I didn’t sleep much, I kept waking. up, I was ready to play at five o’ clock this morning,' said the. Wimbledon champion, who will now face the hugely powerful Spanish. left-hander Fernando Verdasco on Monday. Murray. had begun with an assured service game and Kohlschreiber responded in. kind. The first match point of the day came at 9-8 after he took. advantage of a net cord to fire a forehand winner down the line. The. 27-year-old Scot got into the rally but was forced back and the German. saved himself by firing home an overhead smash that must have taken an. age to drop out of the sky. Kohlschreiber. had generally served more consistently while Murray struggled to find. his first delivery again, as he had done the whole match. But when the. world No 24 created a break point at 9-9 the Wimbledon champion. responded with a vicious swinger that his opponent could do nothing. about. Tense: Murray shows his emotion after hitting a blistering backhand to end the match after 247 minutes. Achilles heel: Murray struggled with his first serve, landing just 48 per cent. Flying high: A pigeon soars into shot as Murray crushes a backhand in Paris. Despondent: Germany's Kohlschreiber reacts during his devastating loss at the clay court major. No 1 fan: Murray's girlfriend Kim Sears cheers for the Scot on his way to a dramatic victory. On the whole it was. the German hitting far deeper and more aggressively and Murray’s best. play tended to come when he was scrambling deep around the court’s. recesses. Murray missed six out of eight first serves at 10-10 but just. about managed to hold on. At. 11-10 Kohlschreiber, who had been finding lines and corners with. impressive regularity while Murray generally landed it shorter in the. court, finally cracked. He pushed two groundstrokes wide and then at. 15-40 dropped in a short second serve which his opponent pounced upon. and drove forcefully into the corner. It. was not especially pretty or elegant but he is into the second week,. drawing on what separates champions from excellent all round players. like the crestfallen German.

(CNN) -- Over the past few weeks, about 18 Palestinians and three Israelis have been killed in the occupied Palestinian territories. Although President Barack Obama rightly condemned the tragic killing of three Israeli teenagers, the majority of Palestinian victims have been largely reduced to faceless, nameless statistics who do not elicit comparable reaction. Exceptions are the case of Tariq Abu Khdeir, an American high school sophomore and that of his cousin 16-year-old Mohammad Abu Khdair, who was abducted by Israelis and then burned to death. Tariq was visiting his relatives in Jerusalem and was captured on video being beaten unconscious by Israeli police. But his beating might only have become public because he is an American. While Tariq was released from detention after three days under a growing media spotlight, hundreds of Palestinians who have been rounded up remain detained with uncertain futures.

(CNN)After landing a probe on an icy comet and possibly shedding new light on the origins of life on Earth, the European Space Agency (ESA) is now looking at scorching-hot Mercury for its next mission. The innermost planet of our solar system orbits so close to the Sun that, in some instances, surface temperature surpasses 400 °C. Areas of the planet without sunlight, on the other hand, can become as cold as -170 °C. No other planet has variations in temperature so severe. The reason for this is the absence of any significant atmosphere, which Mercury is too hot and too small to retain. With a diameter of just over 3,000 miles, it's just a third larger than the Moon, and smaller than two other moons in the solar system -- Saturn's Titan and Jupiter's Ganymede.

1. There's a wonderful depth that transcends the simple plot and extremely slow-paced storytelling.
2. Through its powerful emotions coupled with exquisite restraint, this 'small' film makes a big impact.
3. Julie Bertuccelli's very beautiful first feature is suffused with indelible humanist values and emotions.
4. If Otar is, finally, a mite thin and predictably structured, that takes little away from the filmmaker and her cast, who work hard at fashioning the most outlandish special effect of all: believable human life.
5. A wonderfully acted film from Georgia that shows how lying to your mom is not always peachy.
6. Drawing on her documentary training, the director distills complex meaning into such perfectly chosen gestures as a foot rubbed, a cigarette smoked, a shampoo interrupted when (with post-Soviet-era regularity) the water fails.
7. Everything about this subtly directed drama enhances its pathos and humor.
8. Ms. Bertuccelli's direction is singularly graceful in allotting enough space to each of her three co-protagonists without tearing apart the fabric of familial solidarity.
9. Since Otar Left sustains a perfect balance of pathos, humor and a clear-headed realism.
10. Only yields its bountiful rewards at the end.
What is the critic consensus?
A: A drama that's both funny and moving.
1. While audiences will gasp at the audacity of using real animals instead of drawings, the tale behind the technical achievement is stale and outmoded.
2. Stunning animal photography.
3. Its dramatic success seems to derive largely from putting the inhabitants of separate worlds into a context where both belong.
4. Animal-loving kids will think it's lovely, but it's only a mildly diverting time-waster for the rest of us.
5. A stunning, visually spectacular fable - and those wondrous little tiger cubs are irresistible.
6. Charms when the quadripeds stalk the action but creaks when the bipeds open their mouths.
7. The actors play it straight, clearly aware that the tigers are the stars.
8. Annaud and his deft production team create believable dramatic characters without compromising the dignity of the animals they've borrowed as stars.

What is the critic consensus?
A: A charming family-friendly movie with stunning cinematography.
1. Smart, hilarious and thoroughly entertaining.
2. A refreshingly courageous and long overdue lecture that is equally enlightening, entertaining and provocative.
3. Maher has gone for easy targets. He comes up with the odd funny gag, but you get the feeling that he is as dogmatic about his doubt as the believers are about their faith.
4. I'm all for a documentary about the mass hysteria of our warring creeds, but stand-up satirist Bill Maher turns out to be the wrong man to make it.
5. It was much more thought-provoking than I was expecting, but his blatant bias made me feel that he was no less a fundamentalist than the religious people he was criticising.
6. Often funny, frequently unfair, mostly simplistic, at times offensively unethical and ultimately limited.
7. Fortunately for filmgoers, the sight of Bill Maher laying the smacketh down on God is, to quote Homer Simpson, truly "sacrilicious".
8. Over-extended but nonetheless thought provoking and humorous documentary.
9. Shooting fish in a barrel is the order of the day in comedian Bill Maher's faintly tiresome attack on religion.
10. Maher crucifies the kooks. What he singularly fails to do, though, is engage with anyone sensible. By mocking the loonies he squanders the precious high ground. A real pity.
What is the critic consensus?
A: Religulous is funny and offensive in equal measure, and aims less to change hearts and minds than to inspire conversation.
1. Last Resort ... marks the emergence of a filmmaker who, in cunningly addressing matters of restriction and escape, manages to really capture people with a camera.
2. Thank goodness for the Shooting Gallery -- while Hollywood continues to churn out very little of interest, they rescue great little films like Last Resort from obscurity.
3. Admirably terse.
4. An unabashed, if subdued ode to star-crossed lovers everywhere.
5. A tragic but quite educational tour of the Western countries' refugee process.
6. Pawlikowski and his cast have been honoured for this film at festivals across the continent, the greatest award for them would be for you to watch and think.
7. The intimate, unadorned performances add a realistic immediacy to entire piece.
8. "Last Resort" does not have the feel of a fictional piece, but instead appears to be unfolding as the events occur.
9. This quiet film gains its power from small moments and unforced, convincing performances.
10. What was missing for me was a story that was engaging or interesting.
What is the critic consensus?
A:
|
Critics are raving about Last Resort, saying it's a convincing, touching tale. Particularly impressive is the lack of script during the film's shoot.

Bu farw un o'r milwyr yn Ysbyty Treforys yn Abertawe fore Iau, a bu farw'r ail yn Ysbyty Athrofaol Cymru yng Nghaerdydd yn ddiweddarach yn y diwrnod.
Mae un milwr yn parhau yn Ysbyty Treforys, tra bo'r llall mewn ysbyty yn Birmingham.

UnitingCare won a competitive tender to run the contract to supply older people and adult community healthcare in Cambridgeshire. It began on 1 April.
Jo Rust from the union Unison said "it's evident that they can't make financial cost savings" promised.
Patients have been told services will not be disrupted.
Older people's services have been transferred back to Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group (CPCCG).
Dr Neil Modha, its chief clinical officer, said "both parties" had decided to end the contract because "the current arrangement is no longer financially sustainable".
He added "we all wish to keep this model of integrated service delivery" and "services will continue and not be disrupted".
UnitingCare declined to be interviewed.
It is a consortium of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT) with Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
The company was selected to run the service by CPCCG after a lengthy procurement process and from a shortlist of three organisations.
What does the £800m five-year contract cover?
Ms Rust said she was "totally shocked" at news the contract had come to an end.
"It cost over £1m to commission the UnitingCare partnership, to put it out to tender - and it was a waste of money," she said.
"But it will be business as usual as these services are vital to the health economy of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, despite the uncertainty."
Sum: A five-year £800m NHS out-sourcing contract has ended after eight months because the company running it said it was not "financially sustainable".
Shares in Admiral Group, the insurer, were the biggest risers after the company reported better than expected annual results.
They closed up 9%, or 159 points, to end the day at 1919p.
The company - which also owns the Confused.com price comparison website - were helped by an 11% rise in profits from car insurance.
Mining stocks also boosted the FTSE. Shares in Glencore rose 5.6%, while Anglo American climbed 1.49%.
But shares in Whitbread fell 6.15% after the firm said sales growth had slowed at its Costa coffee chain.
Like-for-like sales at Costa rose by just 0.5% in the 11 weeks to 11 February, which Whitbread blamed partly on the "unusually warm winter".

Article:The Western Isles again came third in the 2016 Bank of Scotland Children's Quality of Life Survey.
Orkney's winning formula included a high average school spend per pupil, low class sizes and little traffic.
Across Scotland, Highland ranked fourth, with Perth and Kinross coming fifth.
The full Scottish top 10 is:
The average school spend was £9,281 per pupil for Orkney.
This was more than double the British average.
Orkney had one of the lowest population densities in Britain, with 22 people per square km.
This was against the national average of 276.
Shetland was said to have the highest employment rate in Scotland with 89.1%.
Other leading indicators:
Bank of Scotland economist Nitesh Patel said: "The north of Scotland has always done well when we've done this research.
"So it's no surprise that Orkney, the Shetland Islands and Western Isles remain the top three in the 2016 Bank of Scotland Children's Quality of Life Index, across both Scotland and Great Britain.
"Children in these areas benefit from low primary school class sizes, low pupil-to-teacher ratios in secondary schools, excellent exam results and some of the highest school spend per pupil."
Summarize the main points of that article.

42 miners remain trapped in the two coal mines in southwestern China. Days of heavy rain caused a mine at Niupeng in Guizhou province to flood. "Rain-saturated earth on the surface collapsed into a shaft" at another pit in Guangxi.

Two separate incidents at coal mines in Southwest China over the weekend left at least three miners dead and 42 trapped, state media reported. Days of heavy rain caused a mine at Niupeng in Guizhou province to flood on Saturday morning; while "rain-saturated earth on the surface collapsed into a shaft" at another pit in Guangxi around noon the same day, killing three miners, Xinhua said. The report added that more than 1,000 police, firemen, and paramilitary personnel joined the mission to rescue the trapped workers at Niupeng. By Monday the water level at the mine had dropped but was still 40 meters (131ft) higher than where 23 of the miners are believed trapped, according to reports from China National Radio. Local authorities said the heavy rain may have caused a previously dry river to rise, while possibly increasing the water level in underground rivers around the mines. According to Xinhua, the Niupeng mine's investors have already been detained by the police. At Guangxi, high concentrations of gas prevented workers from using machines to dig out another 19 trapped miners trapped at a depth of 390 meters (1,200ft), China Daily said. 50 other miners were reported to have escaped the cave-in. Continued rain on Sunday further complicated the rescue effort, it added. "The rescue team is only equipped with shovels and rail track cars", Meng Qingguan, head of the Heshan Work Safety Bureau, told CCTV on Saturday. Mining accidents are not uncommon in China, as very few of the mines follow the government's safety regulations. According to the State Administration of Coal Mine Safety (SACMS), almost 2,500 miners were killed in mine accidents in 2010. However, the head of SACMS, Zhao Tiechui, said Tuesday that the number of miners dead or missing from accidents had decreased by 35% from last year, with just 807 dead so far in 2011.

What's the most logical way to complete this passage?
(CNN) -- On Friday night, Wired technology journalist Mat Honan was brutally hacked. In a chain of events that Honan would unravel in the following days, hackers took advantage of security holes at Amazon and Apple to gain access to his iCloud account. They then took over his Gmail account, remotely wiped all data from his MacBook Air, iPhone and iPad, and took over his Twitter account as well as the Twitter account of his former employer, Gizmodo. The incident might seem small on its surface -- just one person's information, not a huge data breach of credit card numbers. But this one very public incident, thoroughly documented by Honan in a Wired article, could be a wake-up call to many who store their information with cloud-based services, including Amazon, Apple and Google.

Problem: Article: German Shepherd Nero, six, jumped over railings in Watford which, unknown to his handler, had a 12ft (3.5m) drop on the other side. He "landed badly".
A little over a week later, Nero is expected to return home this weekend.
"Given time, with the right rest and care, Nero should be able to make a full recovery," police said.
The dog was with handler PC Clive Warncken of the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire dog unit, when the accident happened in the early hours of Thursday 21 July.
Nero had been called in to track four people, suspected of assaulting a woman aged in her 30s, before making off with her handbag.
"Nero was immediately taken to a vet where it was discovered he had sustained two fractures to his neck," a police spokesman said.
"The next few days are crucial for Nero who was injured doing what he loved, servicing his community and tracking down baddies," the dog's unit wrote on Twitter.
Dozens of police forces and members of the public sent messages of support after seeing the post shortly after Nero's accident.
"Nero has been examined by an expert and a treatment plan, primarily consisting of rest and medication, has been devised. He will be closely monitored and, given time, with the right rest and care, Nero should be able to make a full recovery," a police spokesman said.
Sergeant Cray Birch from the BCH dog unit said they were "continuing to support his handler at this difficult time and wish Nero the fullest and speediest of recoveries."

Problem: Article: In its cyber crime report, Europol said the use of encrypted tools, which enable offenders to stay anonymous, were now "becoming the norm".
With millions of children online, access to them was "higher than ever".
Cybercrime reporting in Europe had surpassed traditional crimes, it said.
Europol called the ability for child sex offenders to communicate, store and share materials and hunt for new victims online "one of the internet's most damaging and abhorrent aspects".
It said they were targeting social networks, online games and forums used mainly by children - and then encouraging a groomed child to continue communication on encrypted platforms that allow the sharing of chat, video and photos.
Live streaming is also "a growing threat", the report says, "facilitated by end-to-end encrypted platforms where not even the service providers can access what is being shared among their users".
"Traditionally the victims of live distant child abuse were based in South-East Asia, in particular the Philippines. More recent reports indicate that it is now spreading to other countries," the report says.
"Regions of the world with high levels of poverty, limited domestic child protection measures and easy access to children are being targeted by offenders..."
The report says that as well as educating children, parents and carers about staying safe on the internet, law enforcement must invest "human and IT resources to improve the opportunities for victims to be identified".

Problem: Article: Tat Wa Lay's post talks about how he was one of thousands of "boat people" who fled during and after the Vietnam War to escape persecution and poverty - his family was rescued from a rickety boat by a British Navy ship and sent to Hong Kong, before they were settled in the UK.
Now living back in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, he told the BBC's Nga Pham he had no idea his post would attract such attention.
"When I shared it on my Facebook page, I just wanted to reach out to all the people who have a negative opinion about the current refugee crisis.
I guess I wanted to change their mindset, to tell them that refugees are really not bad people and that we have so much to give back to the society.
I also wanted to promote kindness. I am totally overwhelmed by people's reactions to my Facebook post. It was shared more than 100,000 times just over a couple days.
So many people called and wrote to me how they found it moving, some even cried.
An old neighbour who had problems with us refugees when I was growing up in Bristol also contacted me to apologise about the past.
My Vietnamese friends joke that I have become famous, though it was of course not my intention.
I came back to Vietnam for the first time in 2010 to rediscover my roots. Since then, I've gone back and forth a few times.
I first found a job teaching English at a school in Ho Chi Minh City, and I am currently still working for the same school, only now I'm developing iPad apps to help kids learn English.
I plan to go back to the UK next year but I'm having so much fun here so it will probably be very difficult to leave.
My message to the people in Britain? Very simple: 'Happiness comes from making others happy'."
A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.

Problem: Article: The group of fans who towed it more than 2,000 miles around France in the summer say it is now beyond repair.
After a Christmas party in the vehicle over the festive period, they plan to get rid of it in the new year.
They offered it to a museum, but it was rejected, so they are now considering entering it into a demolition derby.
The 20-year-old Green And White Army (GAWA) caravan has its own Facebook page and attracted international media attention at the Euros as it travelled around France.
It went from Cherbourg in the north-west to the southern coastal city of Nice, before heading north again to Paris, via Lyon.
To save money, the fans tried to avoid toll roads so ended up driving almost 3,000 miles.
One of the supporters, Lee Brooks, said: "We offered it to the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, but they didn't want it. They said it wasn't old enough for a museum.
"It's a pity because this caravan certainly has a bit of history to it."
The vehicle needed running repairs during the journey through France, especially after negotiating the twisting roads of the Alps.
On a number of occasions, the supporters considered abandoning it and using hotels. However, the caravan became a magnet for attention wherever they went so they stuck with it.
One of the fans involved, Noel Cowan, said: "We had Austrians, Germans and Poles in the caravan with us at various times. We had a BBQ with them all.
"It was unreal - memories that we'll never forget."
The fans' plan had been to keep the caravan for the next two years in case Northern Ireland qualify for the World Cup in Russia, but they have now reluctantly accepted that will not be possible.
"It wouldn't even make it to the ferry at Larne, never mind Moscow," said Mr Cowan.

Vehicle flips, 7 die near Bronx Zoo
Crash near Bronx Zoo kills 7
New York (CNN) -- Seven people, including three children, died Sunday when a vehicle flipped over a guardrail and plunged up to 60 feet to the ground, landing upside down in an area of the Bronx Zoo that is closed to the public, officials said.
All the victims were inside the vehicle, a New York police spokesman said. The crash occurred near the Bronx River Parkway and East 180th Street.
"The vehicle hit the median and went across all lanes of traffic in the opposite direction," the spokesman said. He described the drop from the ramp as "substantial."
The victims include an elderly couple; two other women, including a 45-year-old driver; and three girls, ages 15, 5 and 3, NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne said. It was not immediately clear how they were related to one another.
All the victims were wearing seat belts, Browne said. Their names were not released pending notification of family members.
An eyewitness told authorities it wasn't apparent what caused the vehicle, a white Honda Pilot SUV, to strike the barrier and plunge off the road, according to a law enforcement official.
But Browne said the driver was likely speeding when the left side of the SUV hit the barrier and she overcompensated, making a hard right turn and crossing three lanes of traffic. The vehicle then struck the curb and sailed some 60 feet through the air before plunging the same distance to the ground, he added.
Zoo spokeswoman Mary Dixon said the vehicle landed just inside the southeast perimeter of the 265-acre zoo. A baby bag with diapers inside was found at the scene.
"It's far from any public area," Dixon said. "No animals, exhibits or visitors were affected. ... It would be impossible for any visitors to see this."
The area where the vehicle fell is adjacent to where the zoo's trams are parked, FDNY Deputy Chief Ronald Werner said.
The fire department's Howard Sickles told reporters that in his 20 years he's "seen a lot of horrific things and this is one of them."
The crushed vehicle came to rest in overgrown brush, Werner said. Authorities used thermal imaging cameras to find victims in case any had been ejected, he said.
Authorities received multiple calls about the incident at about 12:30 p.m., Werner said.
The vehicle was heading southbound on the Bronx River Parkway at the time of the incident, according to the NYPD.
In 2006, six people died in an accident on the Bronx River Parkway near the site of Sunday's crash.
CNN's Miguel Susana, Steve Kastenbaum, Ross Levitt and Susan Candiotti contributed to this report.
summary: Seven people, including three children, died Sunday when a vehicle flipped off a ramp and plunged inside the Bronx Zoo, officials said.
Cambodian Deaths Tied to Common Child Illness
(PHNOM PENH, Cambodia) — A deadly form of a common childhood illness has been linked to the mysterious deaths in Cambodia that caused alarm when a cause could not immediately be determined, health officials said Monday.
Lab tests have confirmed that a virulent strain of hand, foot and mouth disease known as EV-71 is to blame for some of the 59 cases reviewed, including 52 deaths, according to a joint statement from the World Health Organization and Cambodian Health Ministry. The numbers were lowered from the initial report of 62 cases.
EV-71 is a virus that can result in paralysis, brain swelling and death. Most of the Cambodian cases involved children younger than 3 who experienced fever, respiratory problems that quickly progressed and sometimes neurological symptoms.
Epidemiologists are still trying to piece together information about the cases by interviewing parents because some details were omitted or missing from medical charts and specimens were not taken from most children before they died, said Dr. Nima Asgari, who is leading the investigation at WHO. Of 24 samples tested, 15 came back positive for EV-71.

“As far as I’m aware, EV-71 was not identified as a virus in Cambodia before,” Asgari said, adding that based on the information now available it’s likely that the majority of patients were infected with it.
“We are a bit more confident. We are hoping that we can come up with something a bit more conclusive in the next day or so,” he said.
Hand, foot and mouth disease has been raging across Asia and usually causes a telltale rash. Rashes were only reported in some of the Cambodian cases, and it’s possible that steroids administered by doctors could have masked that symptom or that it wasn’t recorded, he said.
The lab results also identified other diseases in some cases, including mosquito-borne dengue fever and Streptococcus suis, a germ commonly seen in pigs that sometimes infects people, often causing meningitis and hearing loss.
Hand, foot and mouth disease is spread by sneezing, coughing and contact with fluid from blisters or infected feces. It is caused by a group of enteroviruses in the same family as polio. No vaccine or specific treatment exists, but illness is typically mild and most children recover quickly without problems.
The virus gets its name from the symptoms it causes, including rash, mouth sores and blisters covering the hands and feet. Many infected children don’t get sick but can spread it to others.
Neighboring Vietnam has been battling a surging number of hand, foot and mouth disease cases for the past few years, with EV-71 also wreaking havoc there. Last year, the disease sickened more than 110,000 people in Vietnam and killed 166, mostly children whose immune systems were not strong enough to fend off the infection.
China is also experiencing an outbreak, and more than 240 people have died of the disease there this year, according to China’s health ministry.
The Cambodia investigation is continuing, but the H5N1 bird flu virus, SARS and Nipah — a deadly virus usually spread by fruit bats or pigs _ have all been ruled out.

Here is a news article: Public health officials on Thursday said they're investigating a "cluster of measles" at a KinderCare Learning Center in northwest suburban Chicago.
Diagnoses for two children were confirmed and test results for three remaining cases were pending, though they have been diagnosed by clinical and epidemiological criteria, Dr. Terry Mason, the CEO of the Cook County Department of Public Health, said during an early afternoon press conference.
Another 10 children are at-risk of contracting measles, he said. A majority of those who may have been exposed are too young for a vaccination, Mason said.
There so far is no link between these cases and the adult case confirmed a little more than a week ago, Mason said. Additionally, there is no link to the multi-state outbreak associated with Disneyland.
Measles Case Confirmed in Suburban Cook County
A case of measles was confirmed in Cook County Tuesday. NBC Chicago’s Christian Farr reports from Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights. (Published Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2015)
"There will be more cases. This is a highly contagious disease," Mason told reporters. "We will do everything we can to identify if there is a point-source to this ... but at some point the cat's out of the bag."
All students, staff and faculty at the Palatine daycare were notified of the diagnoses and anyone who has not received a measles vaccination has been told to stay at home and away from unvaccinated people for the next 21 days.
"We are following Public Health officials' guidance and excluding unvaccinated children and staff who may have been exposed to the virus from our center until February 24," KinderCare Learning Center said in a statement. "We also gave the center a deep clean last night. We will continue to closely monitor the situation here and elsewhere and to keep our center families apprised of our response."
The measles outbreak that originated at Disneyland in December has grown to 87 cases, health officials in California said last month. Seventy-three of the cases are in California, with the rest in Arizona, Utah, Washington, Colorado, Oregon, Nebraska and Mexico.
Last month, officials said a case of measles was confirmed in suburban Chicago, though it was not clear if it was related to the Disneyland outbreak.
Just 10 cases of measles have been reported in Illinois over the last five years, IDPH Director Nirav Shah said following the first diagnosis.
Public health officials said in a statement “this situation continues to underscore the importance of getting vaccinated.”
The diagnoses come just one day after the director for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned against believing myths about vaccines.
"I've talked to many people who are reluctant about vaccines and one thing that I find repeatedly is that people may not realize that these diseases are still around and that keeping them at bay requires us to continue to get vaccinated," CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden told NBC News.
Measles is a highly contagious respiratory disease that causes fever, red and sore eyes, runny nose, cough and a characteristic rash. The disease can cause severe health complications, including pneumonia, encephalitis and death. Measles is transmitted by contact with an infected person through coughing or sneezing and can remain in the air and on surfaces for up to two hours. Infected people are contagious from four days before their rash starts through four days afterwards.
While officials say the measles cases seem to be focused in the northwest suburban Cook County region, any resident who is unvaccinated and experiences symptoms of a high fever and a rash should call their local health department as well as their healthcare provider. ||||| Public health officials are warning that more measles cases are likely after five infants who attend a suburban day care center were diagnosed with the highly infectious disease.
The outbreak at a KinderCare Learning Center in Palatine marks the second appearance of the measles in Illinois within the last month. Officials last week said a suburban Cook County adult had contracted the disease and visited a Palatine grocery store and health clinic while possibly contagious.
Though it’s not clear whether that case is connected with the day care cluster, officials said Thursday the public should expect additional diagnoses to emerge.
“There will be more cases. … We shouldn’t be surprised about that,” said Dr. Terry Mason, chief operating officer of the Cook County Department of Public Health. “The cat is out of the bag.”
Measles is a respiratory disease that can cause severe health complications, including pneumonia, encephalitis and in rare cases death. The virus is transmitted by contact with an infected person through coughing or sneezing and can remain alive in the air and on surfaces for up to two hours.
Infected people are contagious from four days before their rash starts through four days afterward, state and county health officials said.
A December outbreak at Disneyland in California has grown to more than 100 cases and brought new attention to a movement that has seen some parents — often because of health concerns experts call baseless — deciding not to vaccinate their children.
Parent unconcerned about measles cases at day care center Elizabeth Gharagozlou said she is unconcerned about measles at her children's day care center as her kids have been vaccinated. Elizabeth Gharagozlou said she is unconcerned about measles at her children's day care center as her kids have been vaccinated. See more videos
But officials said the KinderCare children were all under a year old, meaning they were too young to get the vaccine that guards against measles, mumps and rubella.
“Their immune response doesn’t last,” said Dr. Wendell Wheeler of Ingalls Memorial Hospital in south suburban Harvey. “It’s a temporary response, which is why we wait until 12 months.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians all recommend that children get their first dose of the vaccine at 12 to 15 months, and a second shot at 4 to 6 years.
Mason said Cook County health officials received calls Sunday about two infants with a fever and a rash receiving treatment at Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights. Lab samples were collected, and the following day, it was determined that both infants were in a common room at KinderCare.
On Tuesday, the day care staff notified the county of three other children with symptoms. By late afternoon, the first infant had a positive blood test for measles, and unvaccinated children were told to stay at home.

Late Wednesday, the Illinois Department of Public Health confirmed a second case. County officials then told KinderCare to exclude unvaccinated children for 21 days — or until Feb. 24.
Officials said they expect to get lab results for the three other suspected measles cases by early Friday. All of the KinderCare babies are being cared for at home, they said.
KinderCare runs 1,500 learning centers in the U.S. that offer care and schooling for children ranging from infants to 12-year-olds. Spokeswoman Colleen Moran said the Palatine day care received a precautionary “deep clean” Wednesday night.
“We just want everyone to recover quickly and to stay safe,” she said.
Palatine-based Community Consolidated School District 15, which has two schools across the street from the KinderCare, is taking similar steps, including washing school buses and some classrooms with a bleach solution.
Superintendent Scott Thompson said some students attend programs at the KinderCare. If it’s determined that they are among the 200 or so children in the 12,500-student district who have not been vaccinated, they’ll have to stay home for 21 days, he said.
Children who attend public schools or state-licensed day cares are required to get vaccinations unless they cite medical or religious reasons for abstaining, officials said. Statewide, about 98 percent of schoolchildren have complied with vaccination rules, according to the Illinois State Board of Education, which collects data from public and nonpublic schools. That percentage includes those who got the vaccine and those who officially opted out of vaccinations for religious or medical reasons, according to the agency.
But 1 in 12 children in the United States are not receiving the first dose of the vaccine on time. That underscores considerable measles susceptibility across the country, according to the CDC.
Unvaccinated children are among the most vulnerable to measles, which is one of the most contagious diseases, Wheeler said.
“The very young have small airways,” he said. “The disease has thick mucus, and the two don’t go together. They are not moving air well and they get into trouble.”
Pneumonia is often a complication in such cases, he said.
Children who receive only the first dose of the measles vaccine may not be fully protected. About 5 to 10 percent do not develop an adequate immune response after one shot, which is why the second is necessary, said Dr. Tina Tan, an infectious disease specialist at Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago.
“If given at the appropriate interval and age, after two doses of measles vaccine a person is considered protected for life,” she said.
Those who are too young to get vaccinated are protected by the majority who are inoculated, called herd immunity.
However, when the vaccination rate drops below 95 percent, a community loses its herd immunity to highly contagious diseases such as measles, Tan said.
“(Herd immunity) matters because the virus has no place to go,” Wheeler said. “If it hits person one and they’re immune and person two and they’re immune … But if it hits person one who is not immune, well, it can increase exponentially.”
Television crews and news reporters flanked KinderCare’s small parking lot for hours Thursday afternoon, seeking comment from parents picking up their children. Most parents appeared overwhelmed by the media attention and would not stop to talk.
Heather Robinson, of Homewood, takes care of her 15-month-old daughter at home, but she knows the anxiety measles can provoke. When she took the child for her vaccine shot last month, the girl broke out into a rash that covered every inch of her body, even the inside of her ears.
“I was totally freaking out,” she said. “I thought it was measles.”
It turned out to be a reaction to the shot. Still, Robinson said she was glad she had been proactive. |||||
A summary of this is?
|
– Five kids under the age of 1 have been diagnosed with measles at a daycare outside Chicago, reports the Chicago Tribune, in an outbreak that comes on the heels of Cook County announcing last week that it had its first adult case of measles this year. It's not clear if the adult and infant cases are related, or if they're related to the much larger outbreak in California. The KinderCare Learning Center in Palatine is asking anyone who hasn't had their MMR vaccination to stay away, and public health officials say that "this situation continues to underscore the importance of getting vaccinated," reports NBC Chicago. The Tribune has a map of states with confirmed measles cases here. (Meanwhile, California is moving to put the kibosh on a major vaccine exemption.)

1. The most courageous thing about it, from today's standards, is that it closes without an obligatory happy ending, and an audience that has watched for 187 minutes doesn't get a tidy, mindless conclusion.
2. It is a spotty, uneven drama.
3. the liberal message is delivered with a heavy hand, but the film also boasts some stirring action and intelligent dialogue.
4. An absolute classic by one of the great American directors.
5. Kubrick's gladiator film is the pinnacle of sword-and-sandal epics.
6. Meant to be seen on the big screen.
7. It's especially strong, and more typical of Kubrick, in the first half -- before satire gives way to sentiment.
8. Rousing in patches, but kitschy in so many others - a mixed bag.
9. Director Stanley Kubrick was obviously just collecting a paycheck for this one, though he stages some intricate battle scenes. Too bad he obviously couldn't have cared less about the lame love story and political machinations behind the scenes.
10. Many scenes ring passionate and rousing, while others are campy and silly, and somehow they all work together.
Consensus: Featuring terrific performances and epic action, Kubrick's restored swords-and-sandals epic is a true classic.
Q: 1. Richly entertaining and technically innovative, but it's also a movie with an outspoken point of view about the direction in which American culture ought to be headed.
2. Ross' often-exhilarating first feature, playful and earnest, simple and yet dauntingly, effortlessly complex, returns the high to "high concept."
3. This wonderful film speaks volumes about prejudice, the freedom of ideas, and the joys of diversity.
4. The movie's simplistic storyline does not match its stunning visual accomplishments.
5. Much of the interest here is in watching how the black-and-white scenes (filmed on color stock) begin to flower.
6. One of the few recent Hollywood films out there that has used new digital technology to truly engage the viewer, and make possible a thoughtful story.
7. An innovative and ethically provocative film about free spirits and those who would keep them down.
8. Endearing it definitely is, so much so that it's easy to overlook the simplicity, and the sly confidence trick that gets played on us.
9. For a movie that makes such a big deal about color, Pleasantville is awfully black and white.
10. Overcomes its moralising and occasional pomposity with magical photographic effects.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?
A: Consensus: Filled with lighthearted humor, timely social commentary, and dazzling visuals, Pleasantville is an artful blend of subversive satire and well-executed Hollywood formula.
1. I'm torn - half of me thinks this is worth seeing and the other half says wait to rent it or see it on cable.
2. Overcoming the handicap of an overt, writerly device, Allen crafts a warm comedy and a painful tragedy right before our eyes.
3. A movie that too often is dull and duller, an exercise posing as a full-blown drama. Or is it posing as a comedy?
4. It is a stunt, but at least it is a serious one.
5. Half works, and the half that doesn't work isn't so bad that it's not worth sitting through to see a Woody Allen comedy starring Will Ferrell.
6. It's pleasant and challenging enough, in fits and starts, and certainly not the embarrassment of his last few movies.
7. Entertaining but uneven.
8. So much more depth has gone into seductively photographed interiors (residents complain of being poor while living in terrific Manhattan lofts) that Melinda starts to seem like an accessory, to be packed and hauled away.
9. None of the characters have their own voice. They all sound like Woody Allen.
10. But recently he's been off his game again. I don't know why.
Consensus: Woody Allen's uneven Melinda and Melinda fails to find neither comedy nor pathos in what seems like a rehash of his previous themes.
Q: 1. Until the Sports Illustrated subscription runs out at the Walt Disney Studios offices, I expect audiences will continue to be privy to cookie-cutter yarns centered around notable achievements in the sports world.
2. An inspirational true story that oozes with so much inspiration, its overwhelming optimism becomes annoying and embarrassing.
3. Excitement mounts with every hoof beat in 'Secretariat,' a real crowd pleaser.
4. Like most Disney features, it is an inspirational event that will touch everyone.
5. A throwback to an era where Disney churned these things out by the dozen, you?ll cheer, you?ll laugh, and wish you?d brought a hanky. There is, however, no photo finish.
6. A weak mediocrity that inspires no strong feelings one way or the other.
7. The horse racing in the film is wonderful. It was shown from the horse's perspective...but I'm not sure the Oscar buzz is appropriate here.
8. It's not about a horse, it's jockey, or it's trainer. It's about a horse owner. Instead of honoring the greatest race horse ever, they try to find an underdog story with Diane Lane's help.
9. Strictly a movie for those who bet chalk.
10. Secretariat rides to the Winner's Circle.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?
A: Consensus: Rousing, heartwarming, and squarely traditional, Secretariat offers exactly what you'd expect from an inspirational Disney drama -- no more, and no less.
1. Killer Instinct is generally fast-paced but the need to cram about 15 years of Mesrine's life into less than two hours results in uneven patches.
2. Despite the graphic violence, Cassell creates a memorable character, perhaps as memorable as the real man he portrays. Elena Anaya stands out as his mistreated wife.
3. Richet's film is an engaging one, even if it often plays like a re-enacted, high-episodic documentary.
4. ...a stylish gangster flick with lots of action and a super cool, larger-than-life anti-hero at the center...
5. An exhilarating old-school crime pic.
6. Quite engrossing, very much like a cross between Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can and a French 'Godfather'
7. The events may be accurate, but Mesrine is so episodic that it's slightly maddening to watch.
8. Mesrine: Killer Instinct is a true-life French gangster film so in awe of its subject that it can't fit the entire story into one film.
9. Cassel is handsome yet ratlike, charming yet brutal.
10. It's director Jean-Francois Richet's aim to demystify, and deromanticize Mesrine, perhaps the criminal life in general, and he succeeds.
Consensus: It's undeniably uneven, but Vincent Cassel's electrifying performance makes Mesrine: Killer Instinct a gangster biopic worth seeking out.
1. While audiences will gasp at the audacity of using real animals instead of drawings, the tale behind the technical achievement is stale and outmoded.
2. Stunning animal photography.
3. Its dramatic success seems to derive largely from putting the inhabitants of separate worlds into a context where both belong.
4. Animal-loving kids will think it's lovely, but it's only a mildly diverting time-waster for the rest of us.
5. A stunning, visually spectacular fable - and those wondrous little tiger cubs are irresistible.
6. Charms when the quadripeds stalk the action but creaks when the bipeds open their mouths.
7. The actors play it straight, clearly aware that the tigers are the stars.
8. Annaud and his deft production team create believable dramatic characters without compromising the dignity of the animals they've borrowed as stars.
9. A strong tiger-centered story drives this endearing drama which takes cute and runs with it, climbs up trees with it, sucks your thumbs with it.
10. Astonishingly dreadful.
|
Consensus: A charming family-friendly movie with stunning cinematography.

Please briefly summarize this news article:
Mr. President, if Egypt's not an ally, what is it?
The evolving situation in the Middle East has at least raised the possibility that the election contest will see a more in-depth discussion of President Obama's foreign policy decisions than "Hey, Osama bin Laden is dead." That's bad news for the President, because his instincts are all wrong when it comes to advancing America's interests around the world.
Look no further than Obama's statement yesterday on Egypt. "I don't think that we would consider them an ally, but we don't consider them an enemy," he told a Telemundo interviewer. The President was, once again, voting "present" on a crucial issue. Relegating the country to a gray area where it is sometimes treated as an ally and sometimes treated as an enemy encourages bad behavior. It sends a signal that the United States will continue to give billions of dollars in foreign aid to potentially hostile governments with no expectation that they will in return support American interests.
Foreign policy experts were shocked that Obama would so casually toss aside one of our only allies in the Middle East, especially in light of his prior support for the Arab Spring. Last year, Obama called for the ouster of the generally pro-Western former president of Egypt, Hosni Mubarak, and then insisted that Egypt hold elections. Egypt's new government, which is dominated by the anti-Western Muslim Brotherhood, is the result. A reasonable question therefore occurs: Does Obama still support the Arab Spring? He hasn't said and no member of the media has asked.
Gov. Romney yesterday accused the President of sending "mixed signals" to our allies. He was absolutely right. To come this far and then to decline to call Egypt an ally gives the new Egyptian government an additional excuse to turn against us and our regional interests (read: Israel). Once again, Obama unleashed something without any desire or ability to control it, and we are stuck with the consequences.
Indeed, the White House was busy today cleaning up the President's mess. A White House spokesman said that Obama didn't intend to suggest that Egypt has lost its long-standing ally status. Unnamed administration sources told Foreign Policy's The Cable blog that the Telemundo interviewer's question had not been anticipated and Obama's off-the-cuff answer had not been prepared in advance by staff. In other words and to borrow a phrase, Obama was shooting first and aiming later.

Question: By. Phil Vinter. PUBLISHED:. 10:05 EST, 23 August 2012. |. UPDATED:. 11:42 EST, 23 August 2012. Rafael Correa says the UK has no right to criticise Ecuador. Ecuador's President Rafael Correa says Britain is not in a position to preach about its decision to offer asylum to Julian Assange when it failed to extradite former Chilean President Augusto Pinochet. Correa has infuriated British officials by offering protection at the Ecuador embassy in London to the Wikileaks founder who is wanted for sex assault and rape allegations in Sweden. The South American nation's socialist leader says he shares the former computer hacker's fears that he could be sent from Sweden to the U.S. to face charges over WikiLeak's publication in 2010 of thousands of secret U.S. cables. Both U.S. and European government sources say no criminal charges against Assange have been issued by the U.S. and that Washington has launched no attempt to extradite him. Britain says it is determined to fulfill a legal obligation to send Assange to Sweden. But Correa said London had made its own rules in the past - specifically, by not extraditing Pinochet, who was charged with multiple human rights violations. 'Pinochet was not extradited for humanitarian reasons, when there were dozens of Europeans and thousands of Latin Americans who were murdered, and tens of thousands of people were tortured during the Pinochet dictatorship,' he told reporters in the country's capital Quito. Pinochet was arrested by British police at a hospital in London in 1998 after Spain demanded his extradition for alleged torture and murder, including of Spanish citizens, during his 1973-1990 rule. The British government decided in 2000 that the frail Pinochet was unfit to stand trial and free to fly home. He died six years later in Santiago, Chile, aged 91. 'If Pinochet was not extradited for humanitarian reasons then it's clear that they can take the decision not to extradite Mr. Julian Assange,' Correa said. The British government decided in 2000 that the frail Pinochet was unfit to stand trial and free to fly home. He died six years later in Santiago, Chile, aged 91. He is seen here receiving a visit by Margaret Thatcher in Wentworth. Correa is part of a leftist alliance of Latin American leaders that includes Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and Bolivia's Evo Morales who have taken a critical line against the U.S. in recent years and have strengthened ties with China, Russia and Iran. The Ecuadorean government remains angry at a veiled threat by Britain to enter its embassy and arrest Assange. On Tuesday Correa denounced it as 'rude, impertinent and unacceptable.' But on Wednesday he repeated that Ecuador was ready to negotiate over the 41-year-old's fate. Ecuador's government wants Assange to. receive written assurances that he would not be extradited from Sweden. to a third country. 'We have always been open to dialogue and we are still open to dialogue,' the president said. Correa is part of a leftist alliance of.

'We have always been open to dialogue and we are still open to dialogue,' the president said. But he criticized the Swedish government for declining an offer by Ecuador to make Assange available for questioning inside the embassy. He also said he doubted the seriousness of his alleged crimes. 'The alleged sexual offences are not considered crimes in Latin America, or in 95 per cent of the world,' Correa said. He has won broad support for his position on Assange from other South American governments, framing the embassy saga as a struggle between his small country and 'imperialist' powers. 'We cannot ignore the fact that some countries have a lot of weight,' Correa said. 'But something has changed: Latin America no longer has patrons. We don't bow to pressure. We will not accept neo-colonialism, wherever it may come from.'

Two separate incidents at coal mines in Southwest China over the weekend left at least three miners dead and 42 trapped, state media reported. Days of heavy rain caused a mine at Niupeng in Guizhou province to flood on Saturday morning; while "rain-saturated earth on the surface collapsed into a shaft" at another pit in Guangxi around noon the same day, killing three miners, Xinhua said. The report added that more than 1,000 police, firemen, and paramilitary personnel joined the mission to rescue the trapped workers at Niupeng. By Monday the water level at the mine had dropped but was still 40 meters (131ft) higher than where 23 of the miners are believed trapped, according to reports from China National Radio. Local authorities said the heavy rain may have caused a previously dry river to rise, while possibly increasing the water level in underground rivers around the mines. According to Xinhua, the Niupeng mine's investors have already been detained by the police. At Guangxi, high concentrations of gas prevented workers from using machines to dig out another 19 trapped miners trapped at a depth of 390 meters (1,200ft), China Daily said. 50 other miners were reported to have escaped the cave-in. Continued rain on Sunday further complicated the rescue effort, it added. "The rescue team is only equipped with shovels and rail track cars", Meng Qingguan, head of the Heshan Work Safety Bureau, told CCTV on Saturday. Mining accidents are not uncommon in China, as very few of the mines follow the government's safety regulations. According to the State Administration of Coal Mine Safety (SACMS), almost 2,500 miners were killed in mine accidents in 2010. However, the head of SACMS, Zhao Tiechui, said Tuesday that the number of miners dead or missing from accidents had decreased by 35% from last year, with just 807 dead so far in 2011. Michele Philips contributed to this report.

TOKYO — Moody’s, the credit ratings agency, lowered Japan’s credit rating by one notch on Wednesday, warning that frequent changes in administration, weak prospects for economic growth and its recent natural and nuclear disasters made it difficult for the government to pare down its huge debt.
Hours after the downgrade, the government announced a $100 billion credit facility to help the Japanese economy ride out a spike in the yen in recent weeks amid the global market turmoil, which has battered Japan’s export-led economy.
“Taking into account that there is a lopsided rise in the yen, I felt that swift measures were needed,” Yoshihiko Noda, the finance minister, told reporters.
Moody’s Investors Service lowered Japan’s grade by one step to Aa3, the fourth-highest rating, the company said in a statement.
The downgrade brings Moody’s rating for Japan in line with Standard & Poor’s, which lowered the country’s grade by one notch to AA-minus in January, the fourth highest on its scale. Moody’s had put Japan on review for a downgrade in May.
The action comes after a round of downgrades by major ratings agencies of sovereign debt, and amid concern that the debt crisis in Europe could escalate. On Aug. 5, S.& P. cut the sovereign debt rating of the United States for the first time in the country’s history.
Markets in Tokyo largely shrugged off the downgrade, the latest in a line of many.
Trust in Japanese government debt “remains unwavering,” Japan’s finance minister, Yoshihiko Noda, told reporters after the downgrade.
Still, the move, a week before the country’s ruling party is to select a new prime minister, could put additional pressure on the incoming administration to balance budgets. The government financing of the recovery from the March 11 earthquake, tsunami and subsequent nuclear crisis is expected to reach as high as 10 trillion yen ($130 billion).
Even before the disasters, Japan’s debt was expected to soar to almost 220 percent of its gross domestic product next year, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which would rank it as the largest debt-to-G.D.P. ratio in the world. Japan, however, has long been able to borrow at low nominal rates because of unwavering appetite by domestic investors for government debt.
Moody’s said that it was worried by large budget deficits and the buildup of government debt. Frequent change in leadership had prevented the government from pursuing long-term fiscal reform, the agency said, while the recent disasters had delayed recovery. Meanwhile, weak prospects for economic growth were also hampering efforts to curb the country’s debt burden, the agency said.
Deflation and sluggish growth has long weighed on Japan’s economy, eroding the country’s tax base and forcing the government to issue debt to finance its budget. Meanwhile, spending on pensions and social welfare has soared as the country’s population ages.
The global economic crisis further darkened Japan’s economic outlook, as has the recent tsunami and nuclear accident. Global market turmoil in recent weeks has also wreaked havoc with the Japanese economy, driving up the value of the yen and hurting its export-led economy.
The credit facility unveiled on Wednesday aims to spur Japanese spending on corporate acquisitions and resources overseas, according to a statement released by the Finance Ministry.
By spending yen for dollars and other currencies, the ministry hopes that the currency will weaken somewhat. A strong yen hurts Japanese exporters because it makes their goods less competitive and erodes the value of their overseas earnings when repatriated into yen.
The ministry also said it would step up monitoring of currency markets by asking financial institutions to report on positions held by their currency dealers.
Prime Minister Naoto Kan, meanwhile, is expected to step down by the end of the month amid criticism of his handling of the response to the disasters, making way for Japan’s fifth prime minister in six years.
Mr. Noda, the finance minister, is among a field of candidates to replace Mr. Kan. He has supported more aggressive steps, including raising taxes, to tackle the country’s debt. Debate over Japan’s finances has been sidelined by the country’s recovery and reconstruction needs, however. ||||| Credit ratings agency Moody's criticised the instability at the top of Japanese politics on Tuesday as it slashed the country's credit rating and warned that its mountain of debt needed to be tackled.
Moody's cut Japan's rating by one notch to Aa3, its fourth highest rating, and said a tougher deficit reduction plan was urgently needed. The move came just hours before Japan took fresh steps to help corporations cope with the strength of the yen, including a $100bn (£60bn) fund to help fund overseas acquisitions.
Japan has the highest debt-to-GDP ratio of any country in the world, with its borrowings estimated to hit 233% of annual economic output in 2011. Moody's said the rapid turnover of Japanese prime ministers – five different men have held the job since the credit crunch began in August 2007 – had prevented the government from turning "long-term economic and fiscal strategies into effective and durable policies".
Naoto Kan, the current prime minister, is expected to resign next week, triggering yet another leadership battle – and potentially dealing another blow to Japan's debt-reduction plans.
"A divided Diet [the Japanese parliament] and tensions within the ruling Democratic party of Japan risk both the timing and implementation of the reform plan. Indeed, the imminent change in the party's presidency and the election of a new prime minister reflect the factious nature of the country's politics," Moody's warned.
Kan had proposed a fiscal consolidation plan this year, after March's devastating earthquake added to the country's economic problems. This included doubling the sales tax later this decade. Moody's argues that more needs to be done to achieve a primary budget surplus by 2020.
Otherwise, it said, "even under the government's more vigorous and optimistic economic growth scenario, a decline in the debt-burden trajectory would remain elusive".
The downgrade did not alarm traders as most of Japan's debt is bought by domestic investors, meaning it is less reliant on the international credit markets. The Nikkei 225 closed 1.07% lower at 8639.61.
Moody's told reporters in Tokyo that it did not see the eurozone debt crisis spreading to Japan, and maintained a "stable" outlook on the country's debt.
Recent twists in the financial crisis have driven up the value of the yen to record levels, hurting Japanese exporters. Finance minister Yoshihiko Noda pledged to take "decisive action" to prevent speculators pushing the yen higher, as he announced that $100bn of credit will be made available to companies to help them borrow cheaply and invest overseas. Noda also stepped up the monitoring of foreign exchange positions held by currency dealers.
"We decided to compile the package to show our strong determination that we will act if current yen rises persist, or if the yen rises further," Noda said.
The package received a lacklustre reception in the financial markets, though, where there was disappointment that Japan had not intervened in the foreign exchange markets to actively push its currency lower, as it did three weeks ago. The yen rose slightly, hitting ¥76.53 to the dollar. |||||
What is a one-paragraph summary of the above article?

– Japan has joined the US on the list of countries to have its credit rating downgraded because of debt worries. But for the Japanese, the downgrade is just the latest in a long series of bad news. Moody's has cut Japan's rating by a notch to the fourth highest on its scale, following Standard & Poor's, which cut Japan's grade to double-A-minus earlier this year, reports the New York Times. Moody's warned that Japan's weak economic prospects and unstable politics will make it difficult for the government to reduce its debt. Japan has the worst debt-to-GDP ratio of any country in the industrialized world, with borrowing predicted to top 230% of GDP next year, the Guardian notes. The ruling party is expected to select a new prime minister next week—Japan's fifth in six years. The frequent changes at the top is preventing the country from turning "long-term economic and fiscal strategies into effective and durable policies," Moody's warned.

Write an article based on this "Sand any dirt spots. Buff the scratches. Peel off any tape, plastic or paper remaining. Polish your wheel."
Article:
|
Dirt spots look like dust in your paint job (which is exactly what they are). Sand them out with a very mild sandpaper; about 2000 grit should do. If you want to make the buffing process easier, you can go back over these sand scratches with an even finer 3000 grit sandpaper. It is not necessary to use the buffing compound on the entire paint job (unless it looks dull). You do need to use the compound, which is usually the first step in a multi-step buffing system, on any areas that you sanded. Buff lightly until you cannot see the sandpaper scratches anymore. Be aware that moving the buffer too slowly, getting it caught in a corner, or buffing at too high a speed can result in burning or peeling off the paint. Clean off excess buffing solution with a mixture of water and isopropyl alcohol. Now that you are done painting and buffing, you have no need for keeping the wheels masked. When you unmask the wheel, check for any overspray that might have gotten on your wheel. If there is any, use a clay bar and lubricant to remove it. The polish will often come as a second step in a buffing system. Sometimes there is even a third step that promotes shine even further. Apply the polish with a buffer on low speeds with a soft foam pad and then wipe it away with a clean microfiber cloth. Do not use traditional wax or silicon on fresh paint. If you seal the paint it will not properly vent and this will cause bubbling and or cloudiness in your paint job.

How does the sentence end?
Washington (CNN) -- New details emerged of what the White House knew about the Internal Revenue Service targeting of conservative groups, with spokesman Jay Carney disclosing Chief of Staff Denis McDonough was among the top officials made aware of the matter late last month. In a new timeline provided by Carney to reporters on Monday, General Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler learned on April 24 of a pending Treasury inspector general's report on how IRS staff used criteria targeting conservative groups in assessing eligibility for tax-exempt status. According to Carney, Ruemmler told McDonough as well as other Treasury officials about the pending report. It was the first time the White House acknowledged that McDonough was aware of the report before it became public in early May.
At the same time,

Carney emphasized that the information was preliminary and could have changed before the inspector general released his final report on May 14.
