"text": [
"NEW YORK (AP) — A watchdog group is politely pleading with Justin Timberlake to keep his Super Bowl halftime show \"safe for the children watching.\"\nIn an open letter to the entertainer issued Tuesday, the Parents Television Council hopes there isn't a repeat of what happened in 2004 when Timberlake ripped Janet Jackson's costume to reveal her right breast.\nThe group writes that it hopes Timberlake will keep the halftime show \"friendly and safe\" for the children watching, especially since some will want to emulate the singer.\nTimberlake has assured viewers \"That won't happen this time.\"\nThe infamous wardrobe malfunction drew CBS a $550,000 fine from the Federal Communications Commission that was later overturned.\nThe watchdog group says it wants \"a positive, uplifting and entertaining halftime show on Sunday.\""

I am asking in the domain of sports. Tell me about Philippine anti-graft chief defies Duterte order in standoff

"text": [
"MANILA, Philippines (AP) — The head of a key Philippine anti-graft agency has defied an order by President Rodrigo Duterte's office to suspend her deputy for allegedly disclosing confidential information to the media about an investigation into the tough-talking leader's alleged undeclared wealth.\nOmbudsman Conchita Carpio Morales said Wednesday that the order by Duterte's office for the 90-day suspension of Deputy Ombudsman Melchor Arthur Carandang is \"patently unconstitutional\" and would risk the constitutionally guaranteed independence of her agency, which investigates officials for alleged corruption.\nDuterte said last year he would not cooperate in an investigation being led by Carandang on alleged bank accounts he maintained when was still a city mayor but did not declare publicly as required by law. Duterte has denied the allegation and vowed to resign if it could be proven."

I am asking in the domain of business. Tell me about Q&A: How walkout by Arizona teachers is expected to play out
|
{
"text": [
"PHOENIX (AP) — Tens of thousands of Arizona teachers are poised to walk off the job this week to demand more funding for public education, an unprecedented action in this conservative state without many union protections.\nEducators who are among the lowest-paid in the U.S. have organized weeks of protests seeking raises and a boost in overall school funding, culminating in a vote for a first-ever statewide strike starting Thursday.\nIt comes despite a plan from Republican Gov. Doug Ducey to increase teacher pay 20 percent by 2020. Teachers are concerned about a lack of stable funding and a failure to address other demands.\nA grass-roots effort got backing from the largest teacher membership group, which lacks the power to collectively bargain with school districts in this right-to-work state.\nThat has led to a disparity in how school districts can handle a walkout."

I am asking in the domain of tech. Tell me about The Coca-Cola Company Reports Solid Operating Results and a Positive Start to 2018
|
{
"text": [
"ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 24, 2018--The Coca-Cola Company’s start to 2018 built on prior momentum, with strong financial performance in the first quarter. While reported net revenues continued to be impacted by refranchising, the company delivered organic revenue (non-GAAP) and volume growth across all geographic operating groups. The company gained value share globally, in addition to seeing improved trends across the beverage industry overall.\nThis press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180424005748/en/\n\"We’re encouraged with our first quarter performance as we continue our evolution as a consumer-centric, total beverage company,\" said James Quincey, President and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company. \"We have the right strategies in place and remain confident in our ability to achieve our full year guidance.\"\nDuring the first quarter, the company expanded its portfolio and continued to drive revenue growth. The company’s unit case volume grew 3% with an acceleration in smaller, immediate consumption packaging as revenue growth management initiatives were successfully executed in the market. The company’s portfolio continued to evolve and expand through world-class innovation, expansion of the lift, shift and scale model and bolt-on M&A, anchored by continued strength in core brands. These disciplined growth strategies, underpinned by a stronger and aligned system along with a winning culture, helped to drive the business forward.\nHighlights\nQuarterly Performance\nRevenues: Net revenues declined 16% to $7.6 billion for the quarter, impacted by a 26% headwind from refranchising of bottling territories. Organic revenues (non-GAAP) grew 5% for the quarter, driven by concentrate sales growth of 4% and price/mix growth of 1%. Volume: Total unit case volume grew 3%, with growth across all category clusters and geographic operating groups. Trademark Coca-Cola was the largest contributor, with a clear acceleration in all brands under the trademark. Margin: Operating margin, which included items impacting comparability, grew over 220 basis points. Comparable operating margin (non-GAAP) expanded 600 basis points, driven by divestitures of lower-margin bottling businesses and the company’s ongoing productivity efforts, partially offset by the adoption of the new revenue recognition accounting standard. Market Share: The company continued to gain value share in total nonalcoholic ready-to-drink (\"NARTD\") beverages. Cash Flow: Cash from operations for the quarter was $613 million, down 20% primarily due to the refranchising of North American bottling territories and the impact of one less day in the quarter. Free cash flow (non-GAAP) was $339 million, up 5% driven by reduced capital investment needs. Share Repurchases: Purchases of stock for treasury for the quarter were $927 million. Net share repurchases (non-GAAP) totaled $471 million.\nCompany Updates\nLeveraging the strength of leader brands: The company continued to capitalize on its leadership position in sparkling soft drinks. A consistent focus on the One Brand Strategy for Trademark Coca-Cola led to 4% volume growth, fueled by 3% growth in brand Coca-Cola and double-digit growth in Coca-Cola Zero Sugar. This performance, along with driving profitability within sparkling through revenue growth management initiatives, led to 6% growth in global retail value for Trademark Coca-Cola. Expanding presence in on-trend categories: After the recent acquisition of the U.S. rights to Topo Chico premium sparkling mineral water, the company was able to extend the brand’s reach through increased distribution, while preserving its strong heritage. The brand grew its U.S. retail value over 30% during the quarter and gained value share in the fast-growing sparkling water category. Innovation within iconic brands: Diet Coke returned to volume growth in North America during the quarter, following a full brand restage. The introduction of four bold, new flavors, along with contemporary, sleek packaging and innovative marketing, helped lift the performance of the brand. Scaling successful brands rapidly: During the quarter, the company leveraged its strength in distribution to lift, shift and scale leading brands around the world. Fuze Tea, which was already available in 49 countries, was introduced in an additional 37 countries across Europe, featuring new herb and fruit-infused flavors with fewer calories. The single-day launch of Fuze Tea in Europe was executed on a scale that was unprecedented in the company’s history.\nIn addition to the data in the preceding tables, operating results included the following:\nConsolidated\nPrice/mix grew 1% in the quarter as solid pricing in the marketplace was partially offset by timing. Concentrate sales grew ahead of unit case volume, largely due to the timing of shipments, particularly in the emerging markets. Unit case volume grew 3% for the quarter. Category cluster performance was as follows: Sparkling soft drinks: 4%Juice, dairy and plant-based beverages: 3%Water, enhanced water and sports drinks: 1%Tea and coffee: 5% Operating income was impacted by comparability items, predominantly charges associated with the refranchising of bottling territories in North America. Results were also impacted by structural items related to refranchising. Growth in comparable currency neutral operating income (adjusted for structural items and accounting changes) (non-GAAP) was driven by organic revenue (non-GAAP) growth and the benefit from ongoing productivity initiatives.\nEurope, Middle East & Africa\nPrice/mix declined 1% for the quarter, as positive pricing in the marketplace was offset by negative geographic mix due to growth in emerging and developing markets outpacing developed markets. Concentrate sales grew 5 points ahead of unit case volume due to the timing of shipments in the majority of business units. Unit case volume grew 4% in the quarter, led by strong performance in Turkey and South Africa, partially offset by declines in Nigeria and Western Europe. Operating income growth trailed revenue growth, largely due to a less favorable currency impact to operating income compared to revenue in addition to increased marketing investments related to the Fuze Tea launch. Product mix also impacted the quarter due to continued strong growth in innocent, a finished goods business. The company gained value share in the juice, dairy and plant-based beverages cluster.\nLatin America\nPrice/mix growth of 6% for the quarter was primarily driven by strong price/mix in Mexico and the South Latin business unit. Unit case volume grew 1% in the quarter, as low to mid single-digit growth in Brazil, Argentina and Mexico was partially offset by declines in Peru and Chile. Operating income growth during the quarter was driven by solid pricing in the marketplace in addition to productivity initiatives. The company gained or maintained value share in sparkling soft drinks as well as the juice, dairy and plant-based beverages and water, enhanced water and sports drink clusters.\nNorth America\nPrice/mix declined 1% for the quarter as low single-digit underlying pricing was offset by the cycling of certain product launches, incremental freight costs, and the timing of the Easter holiday. Unit case volume grew 2% for the quarter. Sparkling soft drinks growth of 3% included double-digit growth in Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, along with positive performance in Diet Coke. Juice, dairy and plant-based beverages declined 2%, as growth in dairy and plant-based beverages was offset by a decline in juice, largely due to deprioritizing lower-margin juice drink brands and to package re-sizing across the juice portfolio. Tea and coffee grew 5%. Water, enhanced water and sports drinks grew 1%, which included strong growth in the sparkling water portfolio driven by double-digit growth in smartwater sparkling and Dasani sparkling, in addition to the strong performance of Topo Chico. Operating income for the quarter was unfavorably impacted by a 6-point headwind from cycling the benefit of intercompany profit elimination in the prior year related to the refranchising of North American bottling operations. The company gained or maintained value share in total NARTD beverages, along with all category clusters.\nAsia Pacific\nPrice/mix declined 2% for the quarter, largely driven by negative geographic mix as growth in China and India outpaced more developed markets, including Japan and Australia. Unit case volume growth of 5% for the quarter was driven by strong performance in China and India, partially offset by a low single-digit decline in Southeast Asia. Operating income growth outpaced revenue growth for the quarter, largely driven by favorable product mix as sparkling soft drinks grew volume double digits in China and India. The company gained or maintained value share in total NARTD beverages along with sparkling soft drinks and the juice, dairy and plant-based beverages cluster.\nBottling Investments\nPrice/mix growth of 2% for the quarter was largely driven by strong performance in India. The operating loss for the quarter was largely driven by items impacting comparability. Comparable currency neutral operating loss (non-GAAP) was unfavorably impacted by the refranchising of North American bottling territories and the deconsolidation of previously held bottling operations in China.\nOutlook\nThe 2018 outlook information provided below includes forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, which management uses in measuring performance. The company is not able to reconcile full year 2018 projected organic revenues (non-GAAP) to full year 2018 projected reported net revenues, full year 2018 projected comparable currency neutral operating income (adjusted for structural items and accounting changes) (non-GAAP) to full year 2018 projected reported operating income, or full year 2018 projected comparable EPS from continuing operations (non-GAAP) to full year 2018 projected reported EPS from continuing operations without unreasonable efforts because it is not possible to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates; the exact timing and amount of acquisitions, divestitures and/or structural changes; the exact timing and amount of comparability items throughout 2018; and the actual impact of accounting changes. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on full year 2018 GAAP financial results.\nFull Year 2018 Underlying Performance:\nApproximately 4% growth in organic revenues (non-GAAP) – No Change 8% to 9% growth in comparable currency neutral operating income (adjusted for structural items and accounting changes) (non-GAAP) – No Change\nFull Year 2018 Currency Impact:\nComparable net revenues (non-GAAP): 1% tailwind based on the current rates and including the impact of hedged positions – No Change Comparable operating income (non-GAAP): 0% to 1% headwind based on the current rates and including the impact of hedged positions – No Change\nFull Year 2018 Impact from Acquisitions, Divestitures, Structural Items and Accounting Changes:\nComparable net revenues (non-GAAP): 17% headwind from acquisitions, divestitures and structural items – No Change Comparable net revenues (non-GAAP): 1% to 2% tailwind from accounting changes – No Change Comparable operating income (non-GAAP): 2% structural headwind – No Change Comparable operating income (non-GAAP): 0% impact from accounting changes – No Change\nFull Year 2018 Other Items:\nUnderlying effective tax rate (non-GAAP): Estimated to be 21% – No Change Cash from operations of at least $8.5 billion – No Change Capital expenditures (excluding discontinued operations): Approximately $1.9 billion – No Change Net share repurchases (non-GAAP): Approximately $1.0 billion – No Change\nFull Year 2018 EPS:\nComparable EPS from continuing operations (non-GAAP): 8% to 10% growth versus $1.91 in 2017 – No Change\nSecond Quarter 2018 Considerations – New:\nComparable net revenues (non-GAAP): 16% headwind from acquisitions, divestitures and structural items; 1% currency tailwind based on the current rates and including the impact of hedged positions; 1% to 2% tailwind from accounting changes. Comparable operating income (non-GAAP): 4% to 5% structural headwind; 1% currency headwind based on the current rates and including the impact of hedged positions; 2% headwind from accounting changes.\nNotes\nAll references to growth rate percentages and share compare the results of the period to those of the prior year comparable period. All references to volume and volume percentage changes indicate unit case volume, unless otherwise noted. All volume percentage changes are computed based on average daily sales, unless otherwise noted. \"Unit case\" means a unit of measurement equal to 24 eight-ounce servings of finished beverage. \"Unit case volume\" means the number of unit cases (or unit case equivalents) of company beverages directly or indirectly sold by the company and its bottling partners to customers. \"Core business\" represents the combined performance from the Europe, Middle East & Africa; Latin America; North America; Asia Pacific; and Corporate operating segments offset by intersegment eliminations. \"Concentrate sales\" represents the amount of concentrates, syrups, beverage bases, source waters, and powders/minerals (in all instances expressed in equivalent unit cases) sold by, or used in finished beverages sold by, the company to its bottling partners or other customers. In the reconciliation of reported net revenues, \"concentrate sales\" represents the percent change in net revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in concentrate sales volume for the geographic operating segments (expressed in equivalent unit cases) after considering the impact of structural changes. For the Bottling Investments operating segment, this represents the percent change in net revenues attributable to the increase (decrease) in unit case volume after considering the impact of structural changes. The Bottling Investments operating segment reflects unit case volume growth for consolidated bottlers only. \"Price/mix\" represents the change in net operating revenues caused by factors such as price changes, the mix of products and packages sold, and the mix of channels and geographic territories where the sales occurred. First quarter 2018 financial results were impacted by one less day, and fourth quarter 2018 financial results will be impacted by one additional day as compared to the same periods in 2017. Unit case volume results for the quarters are not impacted by the variances in days due to the average daily sales computation referenced above.\nConference Call\nThe company is hosting a conference call with investors and analysts to discuss first quarter 2018 operating results today, April 24, 2018, at 8:30 a.m. ET. The company invites participants to listen to a live webcast of the conference call on the company’s website, http://www.coca-colacompany.com, in the \"Investors\" section. An audio replay in downloadable digital format and a transcript of the call will be available on the website within 24 hours following the call. Further, the \"Investors\" section of the website includes a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the company’s results as reported under GAAP, which may be used during the call when discussing financial results.\nView source version on businesswire.com:https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180424005748/en/\nCONTACT: The Coca-Cola Company\nInvestors and Analysts:\nTim Leveridge, 404-676-7563\nor\nMedia:\nScott Leith, 404-676-8768\nKEYWORD: UNITED STATES NORTH AMERICA GEORGIA\nINDUSTRY KEYWORD: RETAIL FOOD/BEVERAGE SPECIALTY OTHER RETAIL\nSOURCE: The Coca-Cola Company\nCopyright Business Wire 2018.\nPUB: 04/24/2018 06:55 AM/DISC: 04/24/2018 06:55 AM\nhttp://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180424005748/en"

I am asking in the domain of sports. Tell me about Dominican Republic dreams of becoming Caribbean Hollywood
|
{
"text": [
"SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) — In the opening scenes of the latest Vin Diesel action movie, troops in the Dominican Republic chase the hero through a rainforest and down a twisty mountain road. But in real life, the government is doing all it can to welcome the Hollywood star — or anyone else who wants to produce a film in this Caribbean country.\nThe filming here of some scenes from \"xXx: Return of Xander Cage\" is a sign of progress in efforts to persuade the film industry to use the Dominican Republic's lush mountains, white-sand beaches and colonial architecture as a backdrop.\n\"Now, we are on the map,\" said Yvette Marichal, director of a government agency created in 2010 to woo film production companies to the country and to regulate their activities here.\nMarichal spoke in a recent interview after returning from the Cannes Film Festival, where her agency had a pavilion promoting the country's varied landscape along with tax breaks and other incentives to lure companies from other destinations, including other parts of the Caribbean or the U.S.\nBesides the Vin Diesel action flick, which grossed more than $300 million at the box office this year, the country's film credits have grown to include last year's Netflix production \"True Memoirs of an International Assassin,\" as well as \"47 Meters Down,\" which stars Mandy Moore and opens in the U.S. on Friday.\nThere are small-screen offerings as well, including the Turkish version of the competition series \"Survivor,\" which moved from the Philippines to the Dominican Republic's Samana area in the north, as well as the Greek version of the same program, which is moving from Argentina's Patagonian region, and a Swedish production of \"The Bachelor.\"\nAll or part of 45 foreign productions, including full-length movies, documentaries and reality TV shows, were filmed here last year. There were another 20 full-length movies for the domestic market, compared to three in 2010.\nIn the past, the country played host to some notable films. Parts of \"Apocalypse Now\" were filmed here as were scenes in \"Godfather II\" representing Cuba. In the 2006 movie adaptation of \"Miami Vice,\" the Dominican Republic stood in for Haiti, the other country occupying the island of Hispaniola. Those occasional productions inspired former President Leonel Fernandez, who was looking for ways to diversify the economy and bring jobs to the country of more than 10 million.\n\"That bit of investment in the Dominican Republic without any type of incentives motivated the president,\" said Omar de la Cruz, who served on an advisory board that helped launch a more concerted effort to attract the film industry.\nIn 2010, the government established tax credits for productions costing at least $500,000 and exemptions on such things as import duties for audiovisual equipment. The movie \"A Dark Truth,\" starring Andy Garcia, was the first to take advantage of the new law in 2011.\nIn addition to the incentives and marketing, universities in the Dominican Republic began offering courses to provide the technical skills that production companies could use to find the local production and technical workers they are required to hire under the law. In 2013, the prominent Vicini family opened Lantica Media, which operates what it describes as the Caribbean's most modern studio and sound stage facilities in a partnership with Britain's Pinewood Studios.\nAmong the movies that Lantica Media worked on is \"xXx: Return of Xander Cage,\" which required hiring 300 local people with technical skills, providing valuable experience for them to work in future major productions, said Rafael Nunez, a production director at the company's location in San Pedro de Macoris on the southern coast. The facilities were also used in \"47 Meters Down\" and \"True Memoirs of an International Assassin.\"\nMarichal credits some of the success to the country's varied landscape. \"It is incredible how we have almost all ecosystems on this little island,\" she said. \"The only thing we lack is snow but for that we have studios.\"\nThe benefits are difficult to measure, but Marichal's office says that film production in 2016 injected nearly $87 million into the economy and created 4,000 direct jobs. Most lucrative for the country are the long-running reality TV series, which bring crews staying six months or more at a time. There is also the benefit of promoting the country, already among the Caribbean's top tourist destinations.\n\"It encourages me to see how much the Dominican Republic has achieved in so little time,\" Marichal said."

"QUINCY, Mass. (AP) — A court clerk's oversight that allowed the release of a rape suspect who later fled the country was the result of a \"mistake\" and was not evidence of a systemic problem, the chief justice of the highest court in Massachusetts said Monday.\nFrederick Amfo, an Uber driver charged with raping a passenger, was released on bail without being required to surrender his passport because of \"confusion\" in the Quincy District Court clerk's office, Supreme Judicial Court Chief Justice Ralph Gants told The Patriot Ledger .\nGants met with court staff Monday as part of a previously scheduled visit.\nAmfo, 30, posted $10,000 bail after pleading not guilty at his arraignment on April 13 and was given 24 hours to surrender his passport, but instead fled to his native Ghana, court officials have said.\nIt appears an employee in the clerk's office confused the protocol for people who are released on personal recognizance with the protocol for people who are required to post bail, Gants said.\nThe state's court system has since clarified the protocols.\n\"It was a mistake that was made, so we wanted to make sure there was clarification,\" Gants said.\nAmfo was charged with raping a woman on April 8 as he drove her from Quincy to her home in Weymouth.\nThat woman, who has spoken publicly about the case, has called for a formal investigation into bail procedures.\nMassachusetts law enforcement agencies say they are working to bring Amfo back to the U.S.\n___\nInformation from: The (Quincy, Mass.)

I am asking in the domain of politics. Tell me about Alzheimer’s Caregivers Determined to Lower their own Risk of Cognitive Decline, May Not be Doing Enough

{
"text": [
"SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 30, 2018--Nearly two-thirds of caregivers whose loved ones suffer from the debilitating effects of Alzheimer’s or related dementia say they would take medication to delay the onset of their own memory loss by even six months, if it were affordable and free of side effects. Sixty-four percent say they’ve already made healthy lifestyle modifications in an effort to prevent their own memory loss, making meaningful edits to their diet and exercise. However, only one-third of caregivers say they have been tested for the Alzheimer’s gene. These, and other, findings were revealed in a new report from Healthline Media, the fastest growing health information brand, reaching 39 million monthly users in the United States.\nThis press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180530005860/en/\nHealthline's State of Caregiving for Alzheimer's or Related Dementia 2018 (Graphic: Business Wire)\nThe report, “State of Caregiving for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia 2018,” examines the current caregiving population, the challenges they face in caring for a loved one with the disease today and how advances in science and technology may affect caregiving roles in the future. The report included a survey of nearly 400 active caregivers across generations and in-depth interviews with medical experts and advocacy groups. The full report can be accessed at www.healthline.com/health/state-of-alzheimers.\n“Alzheimer’s disease is on the rise, and the landscape is evolving - the types of clinical trials, treatments, resources/support, and the accelerated need for more family caregivers to take on the intensive responsibility of care for loved ones,” said Diane Ty, Project Director of the Global Social Enterprise Initiative and AgingWell Hub at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business. “Healthline’s report helps prepare the modern patient and caregiver for the new state of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.”\nAccording to Healthline’s report, the intimate view of a loved one aging with Alzheimer’s or related dementia is prompting more caregivers (34 percent) to be genetically tested for the disease, something millennials (49 percent) are more proactive about than older generations (Gen Xers 36 percent, Boomers 17 percent.)\nMost caregivers report that a specific incident prompted a medical evaluation for their loved one (70 percent.) In almost half of all cases the incident was the last in a series, though more than one quarter of the cases were the first of its kind. Interestingly, millennial caregivers were more likely to report a first-time incident led to a medical evaluation (41 percent) compared to other caregiver groups (Boomers 21 percent; Gen Xers 18 percent.)\nKey Findings:\nPATIENT 67 percent take up to one year to receive a specific diagnosis 41 percent had MCI (mild cognitive impairment) before an Alzheimer’s or related dementia diagnosis 75 percent of Alzheimer’s or related dementia patients remain home or in a private residence despite the disease’s progression CAREGIVER 71 percent of caregivers are female 72 percent of caregivers say their health has worsened since becoming caregivers 1 of 2 caregivers have had their career and/or finances impacted due to caregiving responsibilities CAREGIVER RESOURCES 42 percent of caregivers use in-person support groups, online communities/forums 55 percent of caregivers say they are not getting adequate emotional support\n“We know our readers - both patients and their caregivers - have individual health journeys and we always strive to understand their specific paths, and how our content can best support them,” said Tracy Stickler, Editor in Chief, Healthline. “The latest “State of…” report helps deepen our understanding of the evolving needs of the caregiver so we can create content and programs to better support them in making critical decisions.\nHealthline’s “State Of…” series examines consumer lifestyle data gathered by the website’s research team. “State of…” research results are paired with editorial content illustrating topics from the consumer’s perspective, highlighting credible, expert-informed insights to inform health decisions. The “State of…” series kicked off in July 2017 with the “State of Fertility,” followed by the “State of Care” and “State of Cancer.” “State of Caregiving for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia 2018” adds to the growing body of research in key disease states affecting Healthline’s readers - the modern healthcare consumer and their caregivers. Additional studies in this series will continue in 2018, examining other key disease states affecting Healthline’s readers.\nAbout Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia\nAccording to the Alzheimer’s Association, Alzheimer's disease is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Dementia is not a specific disease. It's an overall term that describes a group of symptoms associated with a decline in memory or other thinking skills severe enough to reduce a person's ability to perform everyday activities. Alzheimer's accounts for 60 to 80 percent of dementia cases. There are currently 5.7 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s, with 47 million people with the disease worldwide. One in every 10 Americans aged 65 or older is living with Alzheimer’s, with two-thirds being women. Alzheimer’s is the costliest disease in the United States, in raw expense of more than $270 billion annually, but also in the incalculable toll it takes on patient and caregiver alike.\nAbout Healthline’s The State of Caregiving for Alzheimer’s or Related Dementia 2018\nHealthline conducted a survey of nearly 400 active caregivers representing millennials, Gen X, and Boomers, and interviewed a dynamic group of medical and care experts to best understand the constraints, needs, and unspoken truths of living with and caring for an Alzheimer’s patient. The objective of the survey was to understand the role and responsibilities of unpaid Alzheimer’s or related dementia caregivers, identify the resources and tools used by these caregivers and gauge the impact caregiving has on the health, career, and finances of caregivers. Respondents were screened to confirm US residency, age 18+, and unpaid caregiving for someone diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or related dementia. The survey was fielded between February 16, 2018 – February 23, 2018.\nAbout Healthline\nAs the fastest growing consumer health information site — with 39 million monthly visitors in the US (comScore, Jan 2018) — Healthline’s mission is to be our users’ most trusted ally in their pursuit of health and well-being.

Brett and Yount were on the panel, along with fellow Hall of Famers Rod Carew, Dennis Eckersley, Dave Winfield, Don Sutton, Bobby Cox and John Schuerholz.\nThe former Detroit stars made their major league debuts in 1977, played with the Tigers for 13 years and now will be enshrined together on July 29.\nThey got a head start on the festivities by putting on Hall of Fame jerseys for photographers.\n\"How's it look, buddy?\" Trammell asked.\n\"Makes you look good,\" Morris answered.\nMorris earned 254 wins and was best known for throwing a 10-inning shutout in Game 7 of the 1991 World Series, pitching Minnesota past Atlanta.\nTrammell was a six-time All-Star and four-time Gold Glover at shortstop, hitting .285 while scoring more than 1,000 runs and driving in more than 1,000.\n\"I'm going to be honest. I feel a little bit out of place. The Hall of Fame, that's got a great ring to it,\" he said. \"But when I hear 'Alan Trammell, Hall of Fame,' it hasn't resonated yet. And I'm just speaking from the heart.\"\nMorris and Trammell both fell short during their 15 years of eligibility in Hall voting by members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.\n\"I came very close,\" Morris said. \"Tram was behind, in my opinion, where he should have been. But the process didn't work for us for a lot of reasons.\n\"You want all the writers to know that I'm not mad at any of you. ... I respect everybody for whatever they thought. Now that I'm in, I don't have to worry about that anymore,\" he said, drawing laughs.\nMorris figures it will be a bit more emotional when it comes time for his induction speech in Cooperstown, where a throng of Detroit fans is expected to fill the upstate New York shrine.\n\"I might not make it through. I'm going to do my best. I'm going to remember 'The King's Speech' and see if I can work on it,\" he said. \"I hope I can represent the people that have supported me well. I'll do my best.\"\n___\nMore AP baseball: https://apnews.com/tag/MLBbaseball"

I am asking in the domain of politics. Tell me about Haitian student in Taiwan invents solar-powered backpack

{
"text": [
"TAIPEI (Taiwan News) -- A Haitian man who is currently studying in Taiwan has invented a school bag which can provide light for reading and power to charge mobile phones generated from a built-in solar panel.\nMike Bellot, 26, who came to Taiwan four years ago to study global politics and international trade at Tamkang University, is set to launch what he calls \"Solo Bag,\" a bag powered by solar energy that he believes will affect the lives and the future of 1.2 billion people who are living without access to electricity in developing countries.\nBellot and fellow Haitian Torcel Wendianne were inspired to invent the bag after the tragic death of his close cousin due to a fire caused by a candle used for light in his native Haiti. His cousin had been studying to be a doctor, but like 63 percent of the population in Haiti who lack regular access to electricity, he was forced to read by candle light, and after having nodded off during a late study session, the untended candle started a massive fire which consumed the home and killed his cousin in the process.\nBecause the tragedy hit so close to home, Bellot is very passionate about not only bringing this product to his native Haiti, but also to the 1.2 billion people or 16 percent of the world's population who do not have access to electricity, according to the International Energy Agency in 2016.\nAccording to Bellot, Solo Bag comes with a solar panel, an integrated battery, and an integrated LED lamp, enabling students who do not have access to electricity to safely and cost-effectively study and do homework during the night. The bag also provides enough energy for a family to charge mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices. The bag can store enough energy from one hour of exposure to the sun for six hours of light and charge two mobile phone\nTo launch the product, he plans to launch a startup company called Solo Haiti and display the Solo Bags in an independent showroom during an event in Haiti and get immediate feedback from the buyers and retailers. After showcasing it, he will begin to take pre-orders and make it available also online for buyers outside the country.\n(Image by Mike Bellot)"

"CHICAGO (AP) — Children with a rare, incurable disease that causes rapid aging and early death may live longer if treated with an experimental drug first developed for cancer patients.\nThat's according to small, preliminary study in 27 kids with progeria. The benefit was small: Treated children were more likely to survive during the two-year study than children who didn't get the drug.\nBut some kids taking the drug lonafarnib (lohn-uh-FAR-nib) in this and other studies have lived into their late teens.

"text": [
"ISLAMABAD (AP) — A Pakistan Cricket Board official has confirmed that former international batsman Nasir Jamshed and another man were arrested and then released on bail in Britain amid an investigation into alleged spot fixing in the Pakistan Super League.\n\"Jamshed and another man, Yusuf, were arrested by the National Crime Agency,\" a PCB official told The Associated Press on Wednesday.\nThe PCB official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment on the issue.\nBritain's National Crime Authority released an earlier statement saying two men in their 30s had been arrested on Feb. 13 and released on bail until April in connection with bribery offences as part of an ongoing investigation into international cricket match spot-fixing.\nThe PCB has already provisionally suspended Islamabad United's Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif from the domestic Twenty20 tournament because of their alleged involvement in the corruption. Sharjeel and Latif returned to Lahore on Wednesday and faced more interviews with the cricket board's anti-corruption unit.\nJamshed was suspended Monday from competing in any form of cricket.\nA third Islamabad United player is also under investigation and a player from each of the Karachi Kings and Quetta Gladiators franchises were questioned by the PCB's anti-corruption unit in the United Arab Emirates, where the Super League is being staged. All three players were allowed to continue playing in the tournament.\n\"We know what we are doing,\" PSL chairman Najam Sethi said in an interview on a private television channel late Tuesday. \"We have all the evidence and we knew this for a while. We had information, but we cannot talk about stuff right now, a charge sheet will be given to players soon.\"\nSethi said PCB's anti-corruption unit had information about spot-fixing before the PSL began on Feb. 9.\n\"We had identified a few players and then at final stages we knew the ICC had some information as well,\" he said. \"When we compared it, the information was the same and then we decided to act on this.\"\n\"We have these players' phones in which there is more information — who they were in touch with, what they talked about.\"\nSethi said the cricket board's anti-corruption unit had infiltrated gambling operations in Pakistan ahead of the tournament.\nIt's not the first time Pakistan cricketers have been embroiled in corruption controversies. In 1999 Salim Malik and Ataur Rehman were banned for life following a match-fixing investigation.\nIn 2010 three players — Mohammad Amir, Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif — were suspended for five years for their involvement in the bowling of deliberate no-balls at pre-determined times during a test match in England."

I am asking in the domain of politics. Tell me about Aid groups feel heat as sanctions on North Korea intensify
|
{
"text": [
"WASHINGTON (AP) — Two shipping containers full of hygiene kits languish for weeks in a Chinese port, unable to reach North Korea. They're intended for people with tuberculosis or hepatitis, not to advance nuclear or missile programs, but Chinese customs officers see something objectionable in the cargo: nail clippers.\nAs sanctions on Kim Jong Un's government intensify, the few aid groups operating in North Korea are facing sometimes bewildering economic restrictions and bureaucratic hurdles that could cripple life-saving work. While the U.N. Security Council says the penalties shouldn't affect humanitarian help, the Trump administration cites even North Korea's reported food and fuel shortages as evidence of a pressure campaign working.\nThe nail clippers were part of a consignment sent by Christian Friends of Korea, among the U.S. charities working in North Korea despite escalating nuclear tensions. The latest round of U.N. sanctions bans the supply of metal items, so that explains the clipper holdup.\nIt's not the only example. The American Friends Services Committee, another aid group, is struggling to deliver agricultural equipment such as threshers, compost makers and shovels.\n\"Sanctions should not have an impact on the well-being of ordinary citizens,\" said Linda Lewis, a member of the Quaker committee that's helped North Korean farmers for two decades. \"This work should not be shut down for political reasons.\"\nHow do you pressure governments, short of war, to change their behavior without unduly injuring innocent civilians?\nThat's one of biggest questions for the economists, foreign policy professionals and political leaders who devise and put in place economic sanctions around the world. U.N. penalties routinely include broad exceptions for most basic civilian goods. Even when the United States targets its most intractable foes, it exempts food, medicine and humanitarian supplies.\nIn the case of North Korea, which the U.S. and others want to rid of nuclear weapons, it's unclear whether the right balance is being struck.\nCiting reports last week from Tokyo of scores of North Korean fishing boats, with dead crews, drifting into Japanese waters, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the sanctions are \"really starting to hurt.\" The human suffering, he said, was North Korea's responsibility and an \"unavoidable outcome\" of its failure to help its own people.\nTillerson also doubted that humanitarian assistance, which South Korea is considering, would reach the right people in the North.\nHis remarks alarmed humanitarian advocates. But given that the alternative to the U.S.-led pressure may be military conflict, the Trump administration is getting much leeway from international partners and the public over how the sanctions are affecting North Korea's 25 million people. Recent visitors to the isolated country say fuel prices have risen, but food supplies don't seem any scarcer. They anticipate conditions to worsen in the coming months.\nThree times in the past year, the U.N. Security Council has tightened economic restrictions on North Korea, cutting fuel supplies and banning trade in the goods that make up 90 percent of the North's export revenue. The latest round, designed to punish a North Korean long-range missile test, prohibit selling the North iron, steel and other metals. That covers nearly 150 different categories of products, covering everything from stainless steel ingots to spoons and paper clips.\nFor U.S. aid groups, tiny operations already hindered by myriad requirements from U.S. authorities, the new rules are causing headaches. The groups need special export licenses from the departments of Commerce or Treasury; special U.S. customs inspections of their cargo; and State Department waivers to travel to North Korea. They also must contend with reluctant banks and suppliers, fearful of being fined for any transaction related to North Korea.\nIn the case of the nail clippers, Heidi Linton of the Christian Friends of Korea, which supports more than 30 tuberculosis and hepatitis care centers, said its routine shipment of hygiene kits was stuck this month in the northern Chinese port of Dalian for two weeks. Finally, Chinese customs gave special permission for the shipment to proceed. Without that decision, Linton would have had to pay people to individually unpack the metal nail clippers from several thousand kits for the two containers to be cleared.\n\"To what purpose?\" asked a relieved and grateful Linton, who now wonders whether her group can import a replacement clutch for its vehicle in North Korea. It needs other metal items for renovating clinics and for clean water projects.\nLewis, from the Quaker aid group, echoed the sentiment.\n\"Now we can't even send shovels, anything made of steel,\" she said. Her group helps four cooperative farms in North Korea and had no problem with shipping basic agricultural equipment just a few months ago.\nLewis joked that the specific prohibition covering shovels must be an \"excessively conservative interpretation\" of dual-use technologies that are targeted in U.N. sanctions because they can have both peaceful civilian and lethal military uses. It's unclear what specific military use a shovel has.\nFor North Korea's civilians, the aid groups play a crucial role. The U.N. works on child health care and provided food for more than 800,000 North Koreans last year. \"Sanctions may be adversely affecting that essential help,\" U.N. human rights chief Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein told the Security Council last month.\nThe country is in far better shape than the famine years of the 1990s, when hundreds of thousands starved to death. But 70 percent of the people still suffer food insecurity, and 2 in 5 are undernourished, according to the U.N. The aid group Care International calls it the world's most under-reported humanitarian crisis.\nMost governments refuse to help.\nThe U.S. last gave aid to North Korea a decade ago. Few others are stepping up when North Korea's Kim is being almost universally lambasted for plowing his impoverished nation's sparse resources into weapons.\nThe United Nations' $114 million humanitarian appeal last year, mostly for children and mothers, was only 30 percent funded. In November, the World Food Program was compelled by a money shortage to exclude 190,000 children from a program that offers cereal and enriched biscuits to the hungry.\nChina had long resisted the U.S. pressure to use all its economic leverage on North Korea. It's unclear why authorities are now interpreting the rules so strictly. The U.N. resolutions on North Korea specify they're \"not intended to have adverse humanitarian consequences.\"\nChinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying acknowledged the problems with humanitarian aid resulting from the North Korea sanctions, but said her country \"always completely and strictly implements Security Council resolutions.\"\n____\nAssociated Press writers Joe McDonald in Beijing and Kim Tong-hyung in Seoul, South Korea, contributed to this report."

The U.S. decision is likely to be to impose tariffs, though there is slim hope that the two sides could reach a last-minute agreement.\nRoss met Thursday morning in Paris with French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire, whose government has vigorously objected to tariffs.\nAnd U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer is meeting in Paris on Thursday with EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom among other international trade chiefs.\nIn his Le Figaro interview, Ross said the Americans are still open to discussion, and the EU would be to blame for any trade war if it imposes retaliatory tariffs as expected.\n___\n6:30 a.m.\nPresident Donald Trump's administration is planning to impose tariffs on European steel and aluminum imports after failing to win concessions from the European Union, a move that could provoke retaliatory tariffs and inflame trans-Atlantic trade tensions.\nThe tariffs are likely to go into effect on the EU with an announcement by Friday's deadline, according to two people familiar with the discussions. The administration's plans could change if the two sides are able to reach a last-minute agreement, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.\nTrump announced in March the United States would slap a 25 percent tariff on imported steel, and a 10 percent tariff on imported aluminum, citing national security interests. But he granted an exemption to the EU and other U.S. allies; that reprieve expires Friday."

I am asking in the domain of entertainment. Tell me about Archaeologists urge Albania to protect underwater heritage
|

"text": [
"TIRANA, Albania (AP) — Researchers are urging Albanian authorities to build a museum to display hundreds of Roman and Greek artifacts and ancient shipwrecks that are sitting under the country's barely explored coastline.\nArchaeologists at the Albanian Underwater Archaeology conference warned Tuesday that the wealth of underwater artifacts in the country's southwestern seabed, near its border with Greece, could easily fall prey to looters or treasure hunters.\nJames Goold, chairman of the Florida-based RPM Nautical Foundation, said the objects — dating from the 8th century B.C. through to World War II — would be a great tourist attraction if properly displayed.\nGoold's RPM has mapped out the Ionian seabed from the Greek border all along to the Vlora Bay, finding at least 22 shipwrecks from the ancient times to World War II and hundreds of ancient amphorae. Those long, narrow terracotta vessels carried olive oil and wine along trade routes between North Africa and the Roman Empire, where Albania, then Illyria, was a crossroad.\n\"The time has come to build a museum for Albanian and foreign tourists,\" said Albanian archaeologist Neritan Ceka.\nSome amphorae may have already been looted — they are not infrequently seen decorating restaurants along the Albanian coastline.\nAlbania is trying to protect and capitalize on its rich underwater heritage, long neglected by its former communist regime, but preservation still receives scarce funding from the government in one of Europe's poorest nations.\nThe arrival of RPM's Hercules research vessel 11 years ago was \"a real revolution,\" Ceka said, praising its professional divers, high-tech sonar and remotely operated underwater vehicle.\nRPM and a joint Albanian-Italian expedition are the only scientific underwater efforts in Albania so far, both with the government's approval.\nNow RPM believes it's time for the not-for-profit Institute of Nautical Archaeology research organization, which is based in Texas, U.S., to explore the possibilities of excavating shipwrecks, a financially expensive and scientifically delicate process.\n\"There's a special environment in Albania, because the coast has been so protected for so many years,\" said INA's David Ruff, a former commander of a nuclear-powered submarine.\nRuff said \"one of the real gems of Albania is the Butrint site\" — a UNESCO-protected ancient Greek and Roman site in southernmost Albania close to the Greek border.\nHe said INA's Virazon II research vessel will stay for a month in Albanian waters \"to understand the coast of Albania and if we can run a large-scale excavation here.\"\n___\nFollow Llazar Semini on Twitter https://twitter.com/lsemini"

"MILAN (AP) — AC Milan drew 0-0 at home to Lazio in the first leg of their Italian Cup semifinal on Wednesday and could be left counting the cost of an embarrassing miss by Hakan Calhanoglu.\nLazio goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha pulled off a great save to keep out a Patrick Cutrone header in the 75th minute and Calhanoglu seemed certain to score from the follow-up but the Turkey midfielder blazed over an empty net.\nCutrone had controversially scored in Milan's 2-1 win in the league on Sunday as the Video Assistant Referee failed to spot the ball had come off the teenager's arm and not his head.\nThe league's top goalscorer, Ciro Immobile, was back from injury and thought he had given Lazio the lead shortly after the hour - only for Gianluigi Donnarumma to pull off a spectacular save to keep out his header from Jordan Lukaku's pinpoint cross.\nThe second leg will be held at Rome's Stadio Olimpico on Feb. 28.\nLazio has reached the final in three of the past five years, winning in 2013. It was beaten in 2015 and 2017 by Juventus, which also beat Milan in 2016.\nMilan last won the trophy in 2003.\nJuventus won 1-0 at Atalanta in the first leg of the other semifinal on Tuesday."

I am asking in the domain of politics. Tell me about House passes bill prompted by sports doctor scandal
|
{
"text": [
"WASHINGTON (AP) — The House followed up on the sex abuse scandal involving sports doctor Larry Nassar by passing legislation Monday that requires governing bodies for amateur athletics to promptly report abuse claims to law enforcement.\nNassar was sentenced last week to up to 175 years in prison for sexually abusing more than 150 women and girls over 25 years.\nThe sentencing sparked new calls from lawmakers to complete action on legislation that had already received widespread support in both chambers of Congress. The House agreed to take up the Senate version of the bill to speed up its passage. The bill passed the House by a vote of 406-3.\nThe House made a change in the bill, which sent it back to the Senate for approval before it can go to President Donald Trump for his signature.\nSupporters of the bill, sponsored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said a patchwork of state laws on reporting suspected sex abuse made it necessary to enact a uniform national standard that would apply to amateur sports groups such as USA Gymnastics as well as to other sports organizations that participate in interstate and international travel. The failure to report a sexual abuse allegation could lead to up to one year in prison.\nLawmakers who spoke in favor of the bill said that Nassar's victims were failed by the people who were supposed to protect them.\n\"How a serial predator like Dr. Nassar could have preyed on so many young girls for a long time in such a flagrant fashion is appalling,\" said Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas.\nDuring House debate on the bill, Poe read from the testimony that some of the gymnasts delivered at last week's sentencing hearing and entered the statements for publication in the Congressional Record. High-profile Olympians who delivered statements included six-time medalist Aly Raisman, 2011 world champion and 2012 Olympic gold medalist Jordyn Wieber and two-time Olympic medalist McKayla Maroney.\n\"All they wanted to do was to make us proud. All they wanted to do was show the strength of women and the resolve of women,\" said Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas.\nThe legislation also extends the statute of limitations for victims to sue alleged perpetrators, recognizing that children sometimes don't realize they were abused until years later. The statute of limitations was extended to age 28 or up to 10 years after the reasonable discovery of the violation, whichever is later.\nThe legislation also requires the governing bodies for amateur athletes to put in place \"reasonable procedures\" to limit one-on-one interactions between minors and adults, except in emergencies.\nThe U.S. Center for Safe Sport was created by the U.S. Olympic Committee in March 2017 as a wholly independent body to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct in 47 various Olympic governing bodies. The legislation builds on that effort by requiring the organization to maintain an office that would develop training and oversight practices to prevent the abuse of athletes.\nEach of the governing bodies for Olympic athletes such as USA Gymnastics and USA Swimming will work with the center to develop procedures for accepting complaints and reporting them to law enforcement.\nFeinstein met last year with some of the gymnasts alleging sexual abuse.\n\"Today is their day, and they should be proud that their decision to speak out has resulted in changes that will prevent the abuse of future generations of athletes,\" Feinstein said."

I am asking in the domain of sports. Tell me about Trump signs order to keep Guantanamo military prison open
|
{
"text": [
"WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has signed a new executive order announcing his intent to keep the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay open, the White House announced Tuesday.\nTrump made it clear during his 2016 campaign for president that he wanted to keep Guantanamo open and \"load it up with some bad dudes.\" But the White House announcement, just before the president's first State of the Union address, marked a formal reversal of President Barack Obama's eight-year effort to close the detention center.\nThe order says the U.S. maintains the option to detain additional enemy combatants at the detention center in Cuba, when necessary. It requires the defense secretary to recommend criteria for determining the fate of individuals captured by the United States in armed conflict, including sending them to Guantanamo Bay.\n\"The executive order preserves a vital tool to protect the United States and its citizens from continuing significant threats,\" the White House said. \"The detention of enemies captured in an armed conflict is a lawful and necessary tool of warfighting that must continue to be available to the United States.\"\nPractically, not much is expected to change with Trump's new order, said Lee Wolosky, who was Obama's special envoy at the State Department for closing Guantanamo.\n\"I don't think signing a new executive order changes very much,\" Wolosky said. \"But as a symbolic matter, it changes a great deal because the two presidents before him were trying to close Guantanamo because they recognized that it was a detriment to our national security. Symbolically, it reaffirms his interest in perpetrating a symbol that has greatly damaged the United States.\"\nIt's unclear if Trump's order will prompt much reaction overseas since foreign leaders already knew that he wanted to keep it open. European allies, Muslim leaders and other critics have been vehemently opposed to how detainees have been held at Guantanamo for decades without charge and argue that militant groups have used the controversial lockup as a recruiting tool.\nThe detention center, which President George W. Bush opened in January 2002 to hold and interrogate suspected enemy combatants, reached a maximum population of about 680 in the summer of 2003. Bush transferred about 500 out before he left office. Obama transferred 197 detainees out, leaving 41, including five cleared for release. So far, Trump has not sent any new detainees to the prison or transferred any out."

"CANTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio high school teacher who tackled a student in a classroom conflict recorded on cellphone video says he felt threatened, was trying only to restrain the boy and regrets what happened.\nThe Canton Repository reports the 48-year-old Canton teacher resigned in January after being suspended pending a district investigation.\nThe Dec. 4 video shows the teacher touching the arm of a male student, who pulls away. The teacher then wraps his arm around the student's neck and takes him to the floor.\nThe teacher's attorney hasn't publicly commented, but a district investigation file includes the teacher's comments to school officials. He told them he intervened because one student threatened another and ignored attempts to deescalate the situation.\nThe superintendent characterized the teacher's behavior as \"disturbing and unprofessional.\"\n___\nInformation from: The Repository, http://www.cantonrep.com"

"CHITTAGONG, Bangladesh (AP) — Mominul Haque hit 175 not out as Bangladesh took the upper-hand Wednesday in the first test against Sri Lanka, ending Day 1 on 374-4.\nMushfiqur Rahim missed a century by eight runs, being out on 92 toward the end of the day's play, but he and Mominul combined for a national record of 236 runs for the third wicket.\nIt was Bangladesh's highest score on Day 1 of any test, eclipsing 365-8 scored against the West Indies in Khulna in 2012. Opener Tamim Iqbal chipped in with 52.\nMominul's fifth century bolstered Bangladesh's position after Tamim gave the side a solid start on a placid deck.\nTamim launched Bangladesh's innings in aggressive style, hitting pace bowler Lahiru Kumara for three boundaries in succession in the second over of the day.\nTamim and fellow opener Imrul Kayes shared 72 runs in only 16 overs.\nThe opener reached his 25th 50 off only 46 balls and looked solid until off-spinner Dilruwan Perera crashed his stump with a quicker one. Tamim hit six fours and one straight six off Perera's bowling.\nKayes made 40, before Sandakan had him leg-before on the stroke of the lunch.\nBut the momentum that Tamim gave, Mominul didn't let it go. Together with Mushfiqur, he kept Sri Lanka frustrated throughout the second session.\nHe was fluent and took only 96 balls to reach his fifth century, which was the second fastest ton for Bangladesh after Tamim Iqbal, who made a 94-ball century against England at Lords in 2010.\nIn contrast, Rahim was slow in approach but gave Mominul strong support.\nJust when it looked like Bangladesh would end the day without losing a further wicket, Suranga Lakmal dealt a double blow in consecutive deliveries to remove Rahim and Liton Das.\nRahim's 92 came off 192 balls, including 10 boundaries.\nCaptain Mahmudullah and Mominul then saw off the day without any trouble, with the former ending the day on nine.\nLakmal claimed 2-43, while Perera and Sandakan picked up one wicket apiece."

I am asking in the domain of politics. Tell me about Health care's Three Amigos? The big names behind a new push
|
{
"text": [
"NEW YORK (AP) — Three guys walk into a bar. They're Warren Buffett, Amazon.com's Jeff Bezos and JPMorgan Chase's Jamie Dimon. They decide to transform the American health care system.\nThat's probably not how these three men decided to form a new company to address health care costs for their U.S. employees, and possibly for many more Americans. The three companies, with a combined market cap of $1.62 trillion, did not provide details of how the collaboration between their CEOs came about. And while their announcement Tuesday didn't include many specifics, based on their very different business backgrounds it's possible to see what each might bring to the table.\nBezos, 54, runs one of the world's biggest retail operations and by some measurement he's now the wealthiest person on the planet. Amazon grew from a book retailer into one of the world's most valuable companies in part because it's extremely skilled in distributing products. It's long been willing to lose money in order to offer customers lower prices than its competitors can bear — and in the process gain a loyal customer base. That's what millions of Prime members love about it.\nAmazon has never been consistent at turning profits because of its focus on sales growth. That's what many investors fear about it. Investors in health care have long thought Amazon was going to get into that field and force companies that make and distribute medications or medical devices to drastically lower their prices.\nWhen the three companies said they want to create a partnership \"free from profit-making incentives and constrains,\" Amazon would seem to be the blueprint.\nBy contrast, few associate fear with Buffett, the 87-year-old \"Oracle of Omaha.\" He's respected for his 70 years of successful investing, beloved by many for giving billions to charity — he has said he plans to give away at least half his fortune — and appreciated for a common touch that includes a prodigious Coca-Cola habit and a love of junk food, along with his personal frugality. But most significant in this context is that his company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns a number of insurers including GEICO. That means he brings a lot of experience in evaluating and insuring risks.\nAnd he's a longtime critic of the health care system. Tuesday was not the first time Buffett had talked about growing health care costs as a \"tapeworm\" that harms the growth of the American economy.\nDimon, 61, is the head of the largest U.S. bank in terms of both assets and deposits. If that weren't enough to get him entry into the conversation, JPMorgan Chase just received a big tax cut. Dimon himself earned a lot of respect for his handling of the 2008-09 financial crisis. Unlike many of its competitors, JPMorgan Chase didn't have to be bailed out by taxpayers as a result of its bad bets on mortgage-backed securities.\nThat doesn't mean he's exactly beloved: Like its rivals, the bank did pay billions to settle allegations surrounding its sales of mortgage-backed securities prior to the crisis. He's also known for speaking his mind in blunt terms. In July, he complained about politicians arguing about \"stupid (expletive)\" instead of solving problems.\nThe companies said their project will focus on technology that provides simplified and transparent care. Based on the executives who have been named to top roles at the new company, Jefferies & Co. analyst Brian Tanquilut said there is a good chance it will eventually try to negotiate prices directly with health care providers like hospitals, bypassing companies that act as middlemen. That could reduce costs in the medical and pharmaceutical supply chains.\n\"The initial plan for the new entity will be on partnering with and/or acquiring various consumer-orientated health care technology capabilities (i.e. a venture capital strategy) and eventually using them to influence and incentivize health care cost-reducing behavior,\" he said, basing his speculation on the executives picked to shepherd the new company along.\nWhatever the new company's scope, investors in health care companies were deeply concerned: On Tuesday health insurer Cigna dropped 7.2 percent, biotech drugmaker AbbVie fell 5.3 percent, and drugstore chain-pharmacy benefits manager CVS Health lost 4.1 percent as the sector took broad losses."

"MOSCOW (AP) — Two men have been able to register their marriage in Russia, a first for the country that the Interior Ministry attributes to a bureaucratic error.\nRussia doesn't recognize same-sex marriage and has a law banning the dissemination of gay \"propaganda\" to minors, so Pavel Stotzko and Yevgeny Voitsekhovsky's claim that their marriage was officially registered has caused an uproar.\nThe couple says they got married in Denmark and submitted their passports to a registrar's office, where a clerk docilely put marriage stamps on the travel documents last week.\nThe Interior Ministry says the passports will be withdrawn and the clerk who stamped them fired.\nRussian LGBT Network, a gay rights group, said Monday that the newlyweds have left Russia, fearing for their security amid official pressure."

"LEGAZPI, Philippines (AP) — Lava flowing out a Philippine volcano has spread up to 3.6 kilometers (2.2 miles) since it began intense eruptions more than two weeks ago.\nStreaks of red glowed atop the summit of Mount Mayon during a mild eruption Thursday morning as the moon set, hours after a blue moon and supermoon coincided with a lunar eclipse.\nThe Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said lava fountains and emissions of gas and ash have been sporadic. The eruptions fed lava flows in two areas that already exceed 3 kilometers (1.8 miles). The danger zone around Mayon extends 8 kilometers (5 miles), though authorities have struggled to keep villagers from returning to check on their homes and farms and tourists from trying to photograph the volcano's dramatic displays.\nMayon in northeastern Albay province has been erupting for more than two weeks, forcing more than 84,000 villagers to flee to crowded emergency shelters. Scientists fear a more violent eruption could be imminent."

"TAIPEI (Taiwan News)--A rescue team set out on Thursday for a mission to search and rescue a mountaineer who became trapped in high mountains with a broken leg and no food to eat after a 30-day expedition of hiking alone through a treacherous area in the Central Mountains in northeastern Taiwan.\nThe mountaineer surnamed Lee had been hiking from a giant rock, which is said to be a sacred place for the Atayal tribe, near the border of Nantou County and Hualien County, towards a deserted Japanese-built logging railway station called Ha-Lun (哈崙) in the deep mountains of Hualien County, according to a rescuer nicknamed “Snow Ram.” The route cuts through a densely vegetated and rarely visited area and there is no trail to follow, Snow Ram said, adding that it is sheer exploration.\nLee, who had lost contact with the outside world for 30 days, used the last remaining battery power in his cell phone to make distress calls on Wednesday after suffering from injuries in his lower leg. Lee told the dispatcher that he fell into a valley and broke his lower leg, which made him unable to walk. He said he crawled all the way up to the ridge to wait for rescue, adding that he had consumed all his food and was worried about getting hypothermia.\nHualien County Fire Department Captain Wang Ming-chung (王明忠) said the location where Lee is being trapped is presumably on a ridge to the west of the Ha-Lun station at an elevation of 2,400 meters above sea level.\nThe rescue team consisting of seven people set out to search for Lee from Shoufeng Township, Hualien County on Thursday morning in spite of the rain.\nWang said that it will take five days to reach the location where Lee is being trapped by walking and as the visibility is low in the mountains due to the rainy weather, it is impossible to airdrop food and other materials to Lee.\nAccording to the weather forecast, there will be rains in the mountainous area in the next few days, so Lee will have to be able to endure until the weather turns mild to be airlifted, he added."

I am asking in the domain of politics. Tell me about California firms up marijuana rules, will allow deliveries
|
{
"text": [
"SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California would set standards for organic marijuana, allow pot samples at county fairs and permit home deliveries under legislation set to be considered by lawmakers Thursday as the state prepares for next year's start of legal marijuana sales.\nLawmakers and Gov. Jerry Brown's administration are working to merge California's new voter-approved recreational pot law with the state's longstanding medical marijuana program. They have settled on an array of regulations to protect consumers and public safety while ensuring taxes are collected.\nThe provisions were tucked into the state budget agreement between Brown and top legislative Democrats announced this week following months of negotiations with businesses operating illegally or in the legal medical marijuana field and investors who want to enter the nation's largest legal marijuana market.\n\"One of the biggest challenges we have is taking a multi-billion-dollar industry out of the dark and now into the light,\" said Sen. Mike McGuire, a Democrat whose district includes much of Northern California's prime marijuana growing region.\nBy 2018, state officials must have crafted regulations and rules governing the emerging legal marijuana market with an estimated annual sales value of $7 billion — ranging from where and how plants can be grown to setting guidelines to track the buds from fields to stores. Full legal sales are expected to roll out later in the year.\nIn general, the state will treat cannabis like alcohol, allowing people 21 and older to legally possess up to an ounce of marijuana and grow six marijuana plants at home.\nThe budget agreement includes $118 million to pay for startup costs for the newly regulated industry, including technology and staff to work on regulations and issue licenses. The state will open a tax office in the remote region north of San Francisco so marijuana businesses can pay their taxes in cash without having to drive long distances with thousands of dollars.\nBecause marijuana remains illegal under federal law, pot businesses generally cannot open bank accounts, conduct credit card transactions or otherwise use the federally regulated banking system.\nThe legislation outlines baseline rules for marijuana businesses and was crafted to promote a new artisanal industry in a state that has embraced craft beer and small wineries.\nIt would require state regulators to come up with rules for marijuana producers to call their goods organic — an important designation for California consumers that cannot be used on pot under federal rules. The state would also create standards for official marijuana varietals and growing regions, known as appellations, so craft producers can distinguish their products based on the unique strain and growing conditions like winemakers do.\nWith temporary licenses from the state, businesses would be allowed to sell pot and provide samples at county fairs, regional agricultural associations and cannabis festivals.\nGrowers would be allowed to form agricultural cooperatives without running afoul of antitrust laws. Businesses would be able to legally grow, distribute and sell their own product, though firms performing safety tests will have to be independent, with no financial ties to growers or retailers.\nKeeping an open container of marijuana in a vehicle would be illegal like it is for alcohol in California, except for people with a medical card or doctor's note.\nBrown and lawmakers agreed to allow sellers with no public storefronts to deliver marijuana directly to customers.\n\"There are thousands of businesses currently engaged in this type of commerce,\" Hezekiah Allen, executive director of the California Growers Association. \"The more of them that can get licensed, the better off the state is going to be, the faster we'll be able to get rid of the criminal element and the faster we'll be able to make sure the product is safe and tested.\""

"MONTREAL (AP) — The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has recommended to the International Olympic Committee that it use 2016 doping sample bottles for the upcoming Winter Olympics after the agency's inquiry into the 2017 version showed the bottles could be re-opened after a sample was produced.\nOn Tuesday, the IOC said it was \"very concerned\" about claims the new sample bottles, provided by Swiss manufacturer Berlinger, could be opened, and the Swedish anti-doping agency said it would stop using them.\nWADA said in a statement Wednesday it had confirmed that a proportion of the new generation of BEREG-KIT Geneva security bottles were \"susceptible to manual opening without evidence of tampering, whether they have been frozen or not.\" Those security bottles were introduced in September 2017.\nAfter determining that some of the newer bottles could be \"manually opened after initial proper locking,\" WADA said it had sourced enough of the 2016 doping sample bottles, which were first used at the Rio Olympics, to cover the entire testing program for the Pyeongchang Games, which start Feb. 9 in South Korea.\n\"At this stage, our clear recommendation to the IOC is that it continue to use the earlier model, which is still used by a number of testing authorities around the world. This should be seen as a precautionary measure that guarantees the integrity of the doping control process at the games,\" WADA director general Olivier Niggli said.\n\"For the longer term, WADA will continue to gather information and explore solutions with Berlinger and others in order to maintain the integrity of the process. Berlinger has already agreed to restart production of the 2016 model pending other development.\"\nThe newer doping bottles were introduced last year to increase security after investigators found Russians were able to surreptitiously open bottles at the Sochi Olympics and exchange dirty urine samples with clean ones previously provided by the same athlete.\nThe IOC said in a statement it was \"very concerned about this issue\" and asked WADA to ensure the integrity of testing in Pyeongchang.\n\"From the moment we learned about it, we immediately turned to WADA and asked them to ensure that the anti-doping tests in Pyeongchang can be conducted in a credible and reliable way,\" the IOC said Tuesday. \"WADA informed us that they were in contact with the bottle manufacturer Berlinger. We have full confidence in WADA that they will find a solution for this issue.\"\nPeter Strom, the acting manager of the Swedish Sports Confederation's anti-doping department, said his organization has stopped using the new bottles.\n\"Unfortunately, our own tests showed that it is possible to open the container for urine samples after they have been frozen without leaving any visible traces of manipulation,\" Strom told Swedish broadcaster SVT. \"Because of that we will stop all use of these bottles in our tests until further notice.\""

There were 18 lead changes and the Nuggets came within inches of a game-winning 19th.\nJamal Murray's 3-pointer with 31.6 seconds remaining pulled Denver within 106-104. After Danny Green missed a 3-pointer, the Nuggets raced down the floor and furiously passed the ball three times to set up Will Barton for a 25-foot 3-pointer that rattled in and out of the rim.\nDenver finished 10 for 23 on 3-pointers while shooting 47 percent from the field while San Antonio shot 50 percent.\nThe Nuggets made their first five three-pointers in taking a 17-12 lead, but the Spurs responded by making their first three 3s. It set the tone for a back-and-forth, high-scoring duel.\nIt was a welcome change for San Antonio, which struggled offensively in its two previous games of a five-game homestand.\nThe Spurs scored 60 points in the first half against the Nuggets after averaging just 40 against Philadelphia and Sacramento, including a season-low 31 against the 76ers on Friday.\nManu Ginobili finished with 14 points, including six in 31 seconds in the first quarter.

"HOUSTON (AP) — Clint Capela had a career-high 28 points and James Harden scored 12 straight points for Houston in the fourth quarter as the Rockets rallied for a 130-123 victory to extend their winning streak to 10 games on Monday night.\nThe game was tied with about three minutes remaining after Harden made two free throws. Those were the first of seven straight points by Harden that put Houston's up 124-119 with 1:30 left.\nJrue Holiday made a basket after that, but Harden hit a 3-pointer seconds later to push the lead to 127-121. Harden stole the ball from E'Twaun Moore after a timeout by New Orleans. He was fouled and made both free throws to make it 129-121 with 34 seconds left.\nAfter scoring 48 points in Houston's last game, Harden finished with 26 on Monday, but he tied a career-high with 17 assists, finding the 6-foot-10 Capela under the basket again and again.\nHoliday had a season-high 37 points for the Pelicans. Moore had a career-high 36 points and made a career-most six 3-pointers on a night New Orleans set a franchise record with 18 3-pointers.\nThe Pelicans led by seven entering the fourth and were up by eight with about 10 minutes left when Moore scored all their points in a 6-2 run. Houston used an 11-3 spurt after that to tie it at 112-112 with about six minutes remaining. Paul made five points in that span and Capela capped it with two dunks.\nNew Orleans was without Anthony Davis, who sat out with a groin injury. He missed three games after sustaining the injury on Dec. 1 but played in the last two games before the problem began to bother him again.\nThe Pelicans were up by 2 early in the third quarter when Holiday scored five quick points to push the lead to 89-82. They led by seven later in the quarter when Holiday got going again, scoring all of their points in a 5-2 run that made it 96-86.\nAnother basket by Holiday extended the lead to 13 points with about two minutes left in the quarter. But Paul outscored the Pelicans 8-2 the rest of the quarter to allow the Rockets to get within 103-96 entering the fourth. He made two 3-pointers in that stretch, with the second one coming just before the buzzer.\nDeMarcus Cousins received a technical foul in the second quarter when he shoved Trevor Ariza away from him with two hands after Ariza fouled him. Ariza yelled at Cousins after the push and Chris Paul and Harden pulled him away as he walked toward him before order was restored.\nThe Pelicans led by 7 with just more than two minutes left in the second quarter before Houston used an 11-2 run to take a 78-76 lead into halftime.

I am asking in the domain of sports. Tell me about Adviser to Iran's top leader pushes uranium enrichment

{
"text": [
"TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — A top adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is proposing Iran resume its uranium enrichment in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal from the nuclear deal between world powers and Tehran.\nAli Akbar Velayati was quoted Wednesday by the semi-official Tasnim news agency as saying Iran is \"capable to spin centrifuges for enrichment\" to higher levels should it choose to do so.\nVelayati says Iran should also accelerate production of nuclear propulsions and also research on advanced centrifuges. He claimed this wouldn't violate the nuclear deal which put limits on Iran's atomic program in exchange for lifting economic sanctions.\nIn the wake of President Donald Trump's decision to pull the United States out of the deal, several Iranian officials have indicated Tehran could resume its nuclear program."

Israel's ambassador returned to Israel along with the guard involved in the shooting. The guard claimed self-defense and received a hero's welcome at home, angering Jordanians.\nThe incident ruptured relations between the countries which signed a peace agreement in 1994 and cooperate on security and other issues.\nIsrael has since reportedly expressed regret for the incident and offered compensation to the victims."

I am asking in the domain of tech. Tell me about Could gene editing help avoid disease? Maybe
|
{
"text": [
"WASHINGTON (AP) — Don't expect designer babies any time soon — but a major new ethics report leaves open the possibility of one day altering human heredity to fight genetic diseases, with stringent oversight, using new tools that precisely edit genes inside living cells.\nWhat's called genome editing already is transforming biological research, and being used to develop treatments for patients struggling with a range of diseases.\nThe science is nowhere near ready for a huge next step that raises ethical questions — altering sperm, eggs or embryos so that babies don't inherit a disease that runs in the family, says a report Tuesday from the National Academy of Sciences and National Academy of Medicine.\nBut if scientists learn how to safely pass alterations of the genetic code to future generations, the panel said \"germline\" editing could be attempted under strict criteria, including that it targets a serious disease with no reasonable alternative and is conducted under rigorous oversight.\n\"Caution is absolutely needed, but being cautious does not mean prohibition,\" said bioethicist R. Alta Charo of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.\n\"This committee is not saying we will or should do germline — heritable — editing. What we are saying is that we can identify a set of strict conditions under which it would be permissible to do it,\" Charo added. \"But we are far, far away from being ready to try.\"\nGenome editing should not go beyond healing the sick and enhance traits such as physical strength, what's commonly called \"designer babies,\" the panel stressed.\nBut the public should get involved in these debates now, to say what might one day be acceptable.\nThe long-awaited report offers advice — the prestigious academies cannot set policy. But it is considered a step toward creating international norms for responsible development of this powerful technology. The U.S. National Academies and its counterparts in Britain and China have been holding international meetings with the hope of doing just that.\n\"Genome editing is a new tool for gene therapy and it has tremendous promise,\" Charo said. But, she added, it has to be pursued in a way that promotes well-being and is responsible, respectful and fair.\nGenome editing is essentially a biological version of cut-and-paste software, allowing scientists to turn genes on or off, repair or modify them inside living cells. There are a few older methods but one with the wonky name CRISPR-Cas9 is so much faster, cheaper and simpler to use that it has spurred an explosion of research.\nUnder development are ways to treat a range of diseases from sickle cell and hemophilia to cancer. In lab experiments using human cells or animals engineered with humanlike\ne disorders, scientists are unraveling how gene defects fuel disease — and are even trying to grow transplantable human organs inside pigs.\nThat kind of research is very promising, is adequately regulated today and should continue at full speed, the National Academies panel concluded.\nWhen it comes to the more sci fi-sounding uses, it's quite possible scientists will learn how to perform germline editing in five to 10 years, said panel co-chair Richard Hynes of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Safety is one reason for caution, he said, as scientists will have to learn whether editing one gene has unwanted downstream effects.\nSome critics argue that families plagued by inherited diseases already have other alternatives — adopt, use donated eggs, or undergo in vitro fertilization and discard resulting embryos that inherit the bad gene. But Charo noted that sometimes parents carry two copies of a lethal gene, guaranteeing any children inherit it. Others oppose the discarding of embryos for religious reasons.\nFor some families, \"you can see there would be strong arguments for doing it\" if the other criteria are met, said Robin Lovell-Badge of Britain's Francis Crick Institute.\nSome countries prohibit any germline editing research. Others, such as Britain, allow laboratory research with genome editing in embryos, not for pregnancy but to understand human development.\nIn the U.S., scientists can perform laboratory embryo research only with private, not government, funding. Any attempt at pregnancy would require permission from the Food and Drug Administration, which is currently prohibited from using federal funds to review any such request.\n\"The bottom line is there is no planetary government with enforcement power,\" Charo noted Tuesday."

I am asking in the domain of politics. Tell me about Striking Amazon 'Spheres' landmark opens in downtown Seattle
|
{
"text": [
"SEATTLE (AP) — From the fourth floor of a striking rainforest-like conservatory built of glass and white steel in downtown Seattle, Amazon.com boss Jeff Bezos turned toward the top of his newest headquarters building to summon his favorite assistant.\nIn a proud little show on Monday for the media and dignitaries — which also doubled as product placement for Amazon's voice assistant — the world's richest man ordered out loud, symbolically: \"Alexa, open The Spheres.\"\nThe domed structure is only steps away from the executive office tower where Bezos leads the online retail behemoth. It's part of the company's urban campus near downtown Seattle that is largely made up of unmarked office buildings where more than 40,000 people report to work.\nThe four-story Spheres structure from the outside looks like three connected glass orbs planted into the ground in a caterpillar shape. Lighting mimics a position near the equator, with 12 hours of shade and sun. During the day, the interior is maintained at 72 degrees with 60 percent humidity, to emulate a cloud forest ecosystem.\nAmazon's Amazonesque rainforest-like conservatory is now home to more than 40,000 plants from 50 countries on five continents. Its centerpiece is a 50-foot (15.2-meter) fig tree. Most plants will flower and some can yield fruit, though visitors must keep their hands off all plant life. About 90 percent of the plants were grown and tended to in a suburban greenhouse for years in anticipation for their permanent home in The Spheres.\nThough masked by nature, the sleek and minimalist \"alternative work space\" is also designed to make you forget you're at work, in a startup environment that is rumored to be aggressively demanding.\n\"The idea is that we connect them with nature. We get them away from their normal desk environment so you don't see any desks or cubicles around,\" said Ron Gagliardo, Amazon's leading horticulturist.\nThe corporate office space, however selfie-worthy, is already such a hit that the company had to create a reservation system to contain the flow of traffic for the time being. Employees will have to snag a reservation to get in but it's currently already booked out until April. The building has capacity for about 1,000 people but is more comfortable with about 800 at a time.\nOnce inside, workers can use nooks with tables and chairs that can serve as a casual meeting space. Coffee breaks can be taken in a cafe and \"picnic\" area offering an interior reprieve from Seattle's unrelenting rainy season.\nCritics have called the Spheres a vanity project, illustrating Seattle's sometimes strained relationship with its largest employer. The company's presence has changed the local economy and raised its cost of living — but none of that was on show at the unveiling of the Spheres.\nInstead, Bezos received glowing praise from the governor, mayor and county officials for his recent commitments to the city's homelessness crisis plus a personal donation of $33 million to a scholarship foundation that helps immigrant youth in the country illegally.\nBezos was coy when asked by The Associated Press whether the company's much-anticipated second headquarters to be built in an undetermined U.S. city will have another statement building space like the Spheres, saying: \"We'll see.\"\n___\nFollow Sally Ho at https://twitter.com/_sallyho"

I am asking in the domain of sports. Tell me about Finding in suit vs. Neo-Nazi site founder favors radio host

"text": [
"CLEVELAND (AP) — A Muslim-American radio host has received a court judgment in his favor in his federal lawsuit against a neo-Nazi website publisher because the defendant never responded to the Ohio case in court.\nDean Obeidallah accused The Daily Stormer's publisher, Andrew Anglin, of falsely labeling him as the \"mastermind\" behind a deadly bombing at concert in England last year.\nCleveland.com reports neither Anglin nor any attorney for him responded, so the court entered a finding of default Tuesday. Obeidallah's attorneys said they had tried unsuccessfully to reach or locate Anglin or his legal representative through emails, private investigators and notices in a Columbus-area legal publication.\nObeidallah didn't request a specific amount of damages. In that situation, judges typically have a hearing to determine the amount.\nNo such hearing has been scheduled.\n___\nInformation from: cleveland.com, http://www.cleveland.com"

I am asking in the domain of politics. Tell me about Harden has first 60-point triple-double in NBA history
|
{
"text": [
"HOUSTON (AP) — James Harden became the first player in NBA history to score 60 points as part of a triple-double as the short-handed Houston Rockets beat the Orlando Magic 114-107 on Tuesday night.\nHarden scored 18 points in the fourth quarter to eclipse the 57 points Calvin Murphy scored in 1978 to break Houston's single-game scoring record. After Harden broke the record, cameras in the arena showed a shot of Murphy, who works on the television broadcast team, smiling and clapping for the Beard, who also had 10 rebounds and 11 assists.\nThe game was tied at 107 after a basket by Marreese Speights with just under four minutes to play. Neither team scored for more than two minutes after that before Harden took over, scoring the next six points to make it 113-107 with 45 seconds left.\nHe set the scoring mark when he stepped back and made a 3-pointer before crashing to the court after being fouled by Mario Hezonja. He then made the free throw to give him 60 points and bringing the crowd to its feet.\nHarden, who also had four steals and a block, grabbed his 10th rebounds a few seconds later to give him his third triple double this season. He made 17 of 18 free throws and was 19 of 30 from the floor with five 3 pointers.\nHezonja and Speights scored 17 points each for the Magic, who dropped their third straight.\nThe Rockets started the game without Chris Paul, who has a sore groin, and Trevor Ariza, who is dealing with a strained hamstring. They lost another player when Eric Gordon, who is second on the team in scoring with 19.5 points a game, left early in the second quarter with lower back stiffness.\nHarden's big night came as he played a season-high 46 minutes and 26 seconds with Houston missing so many players.\nIt was his fourth 50-point game this season and Tuesday's performance bested his previous career-high of 56 points set in November against Utah.\nOrlando led by two points with about 9 1/2 minutes left before the Rockets used a 10-4 run to make it 101-97 with about seven minutes to go. Harden made two 3-pointers in that stretch, and wowed the crowd on the second one that he came as the shot clock was about to expire and with Shelvin Mack right in his face.\nHouston didn't lead for long though, as Speights was fouled while making a 3-pointer and added the free throw to tie it seconds later.\nThe Magic had a 2-point lead with about 5 1/2 minutes left before Houston used a 6-2 run, with all its points from Harden, to take a 107-105 lead with about four minutes left.\nThe Rockets were up by 1 early in the third quarter when Harden scored all of the team's points in a 6-2 spurt that made it 64-59. Harden capped that run with his first 3-pointer of the game after missing all seven tries in the first half.\nHouston had pushed its lead to 7 later in the third after scoring four quick points. But the Magic used a 7-2 run, highlighted by a 3-pointer by Mario Hezonja, to get within 72-70 midway through the quarter.\nThe Magic tied it on a basket by Jonathon Simmons with about four minutes left in the third, but the Rockets used a 5-2 run to regain the lead, 83-80.\nSpeights made a 3-pointer to put Orlando back on top with just under a minute remaining in the quarter, but Houston scored the last four points of the quarter to take a 90-88 lead into the fourth.\nHarden found Luc Mbah a Moute for a layup for the first basket in that span and added a jump shot just before the shot clock expired for the other points.\nHarden piled up 16 points in the first quarter and had 24 by halftime despite his early 3-point shooting woes.\nOrlando led 55-54 at halftime.\nTIP-INS\nMagic: Aaron Gordon missed the game with an injury to his left hip that he suffered on Saturday night. He will likely sit out Wednesday as well. ... Simmons and Mack added 15 points each.\nRockets: Ariza injured his left hamstring on Sunday. ... Coach Mike D'Antoni said he doesn't expect Paul to miss much time with his injury. ... Clint Capela finished with 12 points and 13 rebounds.\nUP NEXT\nMagic: Host Lakers on Wednesday night.\nRockets: Visit San Antonio Thursday night."

I am asking in the domain of politics. Tell me about The Latest: 8 Security Council members demand Syria action
|
{
"text": [
"BEIRUT (AP) — The Latest on the conflict in Syria (all times local):\n1 a.m.\nEight Security Council nations say it's \"imperative\" that the U.N. body Council \"immediately pursue decisive action\" to achieve a cease-fire in Syria if U.N. member states, especially Russia and its ally Syria, don't implement a resolution demanding a cessation of hostilities.\nA letter sent to all 15 council members on Monday expresses \"profound concern\" about the lack of implementation of the Feb. 24 resolution demanding a cease-fire throughout Syria without delay to deliver humanitarian aid and evacuate the critically ill and wounded.\nIt singles out Russia and Syria as key to implementation.\nThe letter was signed by France, Kuwait, Peru, Poland, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the United States and the Netherlands.\nIt says that implementing the resolution \"could immediately save hundreds, if not thousands, of children, women and men who have suffered acutely during the past eight years of the brutal conflict in Syria.\"\n___\n12:10 a.m.\nThe U.N. human rights chief says the Syrian government's five-year siege of the Damascus suburbs of eastern Ghouta has involved \"pervasive war crimes,\" use of chemical weapons and starvation as a weapon of war.\nHigh Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein told an informal meeting of the U.N. Security Council late Monday that never before have military offensives against terrorism been used more often \"to justify the unconscionable use of force against civilians than in the last few months in Syria.\"\nRussia earlier blocked his planned address to a formal meeting of the council.\nZeid said \"unlawful methods of warfare have been used by all parties\" in Syria. But he singled out the Syrian government's claim that it makes every effort to protect civilians and dismissed it.\nIn his words, \"When you are capable of torturing and indiscriminately killing your own people, you have long forfeited your own credibility.\"\n___\n11 p.m.\nWestern nations on the U.N. Security Council and their supporters have quickly organized an informal briefing by the U.N. human rights chief on Syria after a Russian-led protest blocked him from addressing a formal council meeting.\nFrance's U.N. Ambassador Francois Delattre told reporters after a procedural vote that Russia called for prevented High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein from addressing an open meeting in the council that he would deliver the same address at the informal meeting late Monday afternoon.\nDelattre criticized Russia for refusing any discussion of human rights in the Security Council when rights violations in Syria \"are at their very peak.\"\nRussian deputy ambassador Gennady Kuzmin had argued that human rights have nothing to do with the council's mandate of ensuring international peace and security.\nBut Sweden's U.N. Ambassador Olof Skoog insisted that \"human rights and peace and security are intimately linked.\"\nAnd Britain's deputy U.N. ambassador Jonathan Allen said Russia \"doesn't want the truth of ... the appalling human rights abuses taking place.\" But he said: \"We mustn't let them silence us.\n___\n10:10 p.m.\nThe U.N. human rights chief has been blocked from speaking to the Security Council about the situation in Syria after Russia, backed by China and others, protested that the U.N. body charged with ensuring international peace and security should not be discussing human rights.\nAt the start of Monday afternoon's council meeting that was to be addressed by High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein, Russia demanded a procedural vote on whether the meeting should be held.\nUnder council rules, nine \"yes\" votes are required.\nAfter the issue was put to a vote, the result was 8 countries in favor, 4 against and 3 abstentions. So the meeting was canceled.\nIt was a very rare defeat on a procedural issue at an open council meeting.\nBut it reflected deep divisions at the Security Council over seven years of Syrian conflict that has involved President Bashar Assad's key ally Russia and Western nations including the U.S. and other supporters of the Syrian opposition.\n___\n10 p.m.\nTurkey's president has vowed to expand military operations across northern Syria and even into neighboring Iraq after his forces drove Kurdish fighters from the northern Syrian town of Afrin.\nPresident Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Monday that the two-month-long Afrin campaign was the \"most important phase\" of the military operation launched on Jan. 20, which is aimed at driving Syrian Kurdish forces out of areas along the border.\nTurkey views the Syrian Kurdish militiamen as terrorists because of their links to Kurdish insurgents fighting inside Turkey.\nErdogan said Turkish troops and allied Syrian forces would now press eastward, toward the town of Manbij and areas east of the Euphrates River, including Ayn al-Arab, the Arabic name for the Kurdish town of Kobani. Those areas are controlled by U.S.-backed Syrian Kurdish forces, and U.S. troops are stationed there.\n___\n8:30 p.m.\nThe U.N.'s humanitarian coordinator in Syria is appealing for help to provide aid to tens of thousands of civilians affected by the fighting outside the Syrian capital and in the northern town of Afrin.\nAli al-Za'tari says the civilians are in \"desperate need,\" and are \"tired, hungry, traumatized and afraid.\"\nGovernment forces are close to capturing the eastern Ghouta region outside Damascus, where they have waged a fierce monthlong air and ground campaign. Turkish troops and allied Syrian forces seized Afrin from Kurdish fighters on Sunday after a two-month offensive. The fighting in both places has killed hundreds of civilians and displaced tens of thousands.\nAl-Za'tari says the U.N., the Syrian Arab Red Crescent and other partners are \"fully mobilized to deliver aid on the spot,\" but require permissions and security guarantees.\nThe Syrian government has regularly blocked the delivery of aid to opposition-held areas.\n___\n8 p.m.\nSyria has condemned Turkey's capture of the northern Syrian town of Afrin from Kurdish forces.\nThe Syrian Foreign Ministry, in messages sent to the U.N. Security Council and secretary general on Monday, called on Turkey to withdraw its forces immediately from Syrian territories.\nTurkish troops and allied Syrian opposition forces seized Afrin from a Kurdish militia on Sunday after a nearly two-month military campaign.\nThe Syrian Foreign Ministry said the move was \"illegal\" and called it an invasion.\nTurkey views the Kurdish forces as terrorists because of their links to Kurdish insurgents inside Turkey. Ankara denies it is invading or occupying Syrian land, saying it is only removing militants from areas along the border.\n___\n6:30 p.m.\nSyrian President Bashar Assad's office has released videos showing the president driving himself to visit his forces at the battle for eastern Ghouta, just outside the capital, Damascus.\nThe videos, released late Sunday and early Monday, show the president calm and assured. Other drivers on the road give no indication of knowing who is behind the wheel of the Honda sedan.\nAssad's forces in eastern Ghouta appear close to clinching one of their most significant victories against rebels in seven years of civil war.\nAs he drove, he narrated his route to the camera and gave his thoughts on the battle. He said the images of civilians crossing over by the thousands to government authorities in eastern Ghouta showed that his government was still popular with his people and still possessed the \"legitimacy\" to rule.\nEastern Ghouta has been under a crippling siege and heavy bombardment for weeks, with civilians packing into underground shelters. Some 1,500 civilians have been killed in the last month.\n___\n6:15 p.m.\nThe U.S. State Department says it is \"deeply concerned\" over the humanitarian situation following Turkey's capture of the town of Afrin in northern Syria from Kurdish forces.\nSpokeswoman Heather Nauert said in a statement Monday that the offensive forced the majority of the predominantly Kurdish population of Afrin to evacuate from the town.\nShe said the U.S. calls on all parties to the conflict to allow humanitarian groups to access the displaced and develop a program for their safe and voluntary return.\nNauert said the fighting in Afrin has distracted from the fight against Islamic State militants, allowing the extremists to begin to reconstitute in some areas.\nShe said the U.S. is committed to its NATO ally Turkey and its security concerns, and is also committed to the fight against IS with its partners, the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces.\nNauert said U.S. officials have expressed their concern to Turkish officials about the situation in Afrin.\n___\n4:15 p.m.\nTurkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says that after victory in Syria's Afrin region, his country will expand its military operations into other Kurdish-held areas in Syria as well as to Iraq's Sinjar region.\nSpeaking at a ceremony for judicial appointments in Ankara, Erdogan said troops would target the Syrian city of Manbij, as well as Ayn al-Arab, also known as Kobani, and other towns along the border to the east of the Euphrates River. Those areas are controlled by U.S.-backed Syrian Kurdish forces and U.S. troops are stationed there.\nErdogan said Turkish troops could also cross into Iraq to drive out Kurdish militants from the region of Sinjar, if the Iraqi government is reluctant to oust militants from the area. Turkey says the region is becoming a headquarters for outlawed Kurdish rebels who have been fighting an insurgency in Turkey's southeast since 1984.\nErdogan said \"one night, we could suddenly enter Sinjar.\"\nHe insisted Turkey had no intention of \"invading\" Syria, saying it was merely clearing the border area of terrorists.\n___\n2:05 p.m.\nSyria's Kurdish militia says a British woman who had joined their ranks to fight in the northern town of Afrin has been killed in a Turkish airstrike.\nNisrin Abdullah, spokeswoman of the Kurdish female militia known as YPJ, said on Monday that Anna Campbell was killed last Thursday.\nShe is the first foreign national to die in the battle for Afrin. She is also the first British female fighter and the eighth Briton to die fighting alongside the Kurdish militia in Syria. The Press Association says Campbell was 26 years old from Lewes, East Sussex.\nMacer Gifford, a Briton who travelled with Campbell, said they arrived last May to eastern Syria, where they joined the U.S-backed Kurdish militia to fight against Islamic State militants. Gifford returned home after the fall of the city of Raqqa last summer.\nGifford told The Associated Press via Twitter that Campbell, an animal rights activist, \"was a lovely girl. Very opinionated and determined.\"\nHe also says: \"She loved the YPJ and the last I saw of her was her leaving to join them.\"\n___\n1:50 p.m.\nTurkish Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag says Turkey does not aim to invade the Syrian town of Afrin and will hand it over to \"its real owners.\"\nBozdag made the comments on Monday, a day after Turkish troops and Ankara-allied Syrian opposition forces captured Afrin.\nThe town was taken nearly two month after Turkey launched its offensive to clear Afrin and surrounding districts of a Syrian Kurdish militia that Ankara considers to be a \"terrorist\" group, allied with Turkey's outlawed Kurdish rebels.\nBozdag says\" ''We are not invaders. The aim of our offensive is to clear the region of terror.\"\nHe says the Syrian Kurdish forces retreated from Afrin because \"they were afraid ... you see this very clearly when you look at ammunition and weapons that they left behind.\"\nHe says the Kurdish fighters had left booby traps and other explosives inside Afrin.\n___\n1:35 p.m.\nThe European Union has slapped sanctions on a senior Syrian military officer and three scientists accused of links to the development and use of chemical weapons against civilians.\nEU headquarters said on Monday that the four work at the Scientific Studies and Research Center, a Syrian government agency the EU says produces chemical weapons and missiles to deliver them.\nThe center has been under EU sanctions since Dec. 2011.\nThe move brings to 261 the number of people targeted by an EU travel ban and asset freeze over the crackdown on Syrian civilians and support for the government of President Bashar Assad or associating with certain government officials.\nA further 67 entities — often companies, agencies and organizations — have had their assets frozen.\n___\n12:40 p.m.\nA senior Syrian Kurdish official says Turkey's offensive on the Syrian town of Afrin is an \"occupation\" that endangers the rest of northern Syria.\nAldar Khalil, a leading Kurdish official, on Monday condemned Turkey for the assault and for raising the Turkey's flag in a Syrian town.\nHe says Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is seeking to spread his influence in Syria as a way of restoring the Ottoman empire's former influence.\nHe says: \"The whole of northern Syria is in danger.\"\nTurkish troops and Syrian opposition fighters allied with Ankara captured Afrin on Sunday, nearly two months after Turkey began its offensive on the enclave.\nErdogan, who first launched military operations in Syria in 2016, has repeatedly said Turkey will not allow a \"terror corridor\" along its border and has vowed to push eastward in Syria after Afrin, to prevent the Kurdish militia from linking up territories it controls in eastern and western Syria.\n___\n9:50 a.m.\nThe European Union's top diplomat is criticizing Turkey over its military offensive in a northern Syrian town and is calling on Ankara to ensure that fighting eases in the conflict-torn country.\nEU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini says: \"I am worried about this.\"\nMogherini told reporters in Brussels on Monday that international efforts in Syria are supposed to be \"aiming at de-escalating the military activities and not escalating them.\"\nShe urged Turkey, Russia and Iran to guarantee that conflict \"de-escalation zones\" are established as promised, to \"guarantee that that is what happens on the ground.\"\nTurkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced on Sunday the capture of the town of Afrin, previously controlled by the Kurdish militia known as the People's Defense Units, or YPG.\n___\n9:40 a.m.\nTurkey's state-run news agency says a booby trap bomb reportedly left by Syrian Kurdish fighters in the northern Syrian town of Afrin has killed 11 people — seven civilians and four Turkish-backed fighters.\nAnadolu Agency says the explosion occurred late on Sunday in a four-story building that Turkish-backed Syrian opposition forces were clearing for explosives.\nTurkish troops and Syrian opposition fighters allied with Ankara marched into Afrin on Sunday, nearly two months after Turkey began its offensive on the enclave to drive out a Syrian Kurdish militia. Ankara considers the militia an extension of its own insurgency.\nKurdish officials and a war monitor say some pockets of resistance remain in the town of Afrin but the Kurdish militia, known as YPG, has largely withdrawn.\n___\n9:20 a.m.\nA Syria war monitoring group says Turkish-allied militiamen are looting the northern Syrian town of Afrin after the Turkish military and allied Syrian fighters seized control of it.\nThe Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Monday the looting began on Sunday, after the Turkish and allied Syrian forces marched into the town center and raised their flags there — nearly two months after the offensive on the Kurdish enclave started.\nThe troops faced little resistance from the Kurdish militia, which withdrew, vowing a \"new phase\" of guerrilla tactics against Turkish troops and their allied fighters.\nThe Observatory, which monitors Syria's war through a network of activists on the ground, described extensive looting of shops, homes and cars in Afrin.\nIt's unclear what Turkey plans after the capture of Afrin."

I am asking in the domain of tech. Tell me about Virginia set to expand Medicaid, as Senate OKs proposal
|
{
"text": [
"RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia is set to end a yearslong partisan battle and expand Medicaid after the state Senate voted Wednesday to approve a budget that expands the program's eligibility to about 400,000 low-income adults.\nThe Senate passed Medicaid expansion by a 23-17 vote with four Republicans joining Democrats for passage.\nThe budget still needs final approval from the House and Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam. But that's expected to happen with little difficulty.\nVirginia will become the 33rd state to approve Medicaid expansion, according to a tally from the Kaiser Family Foundation.\nWednesday's vote marked the end of a more than four-year battle over whether Virginia should expand the publicly funded health care program for the poor. A fight over Medicaid expansion led to a standoff over the state budget in 2014 and again this year.\nSen. Ben Chafin, a Republican lawmaker from Virginia's economically depressed southwest coal country, announced his support for expansion on the Senate floor. He said his rural area needed expansion to help bolster its hospitals and provide care for constituents in need.\n\"I came to the conclusion that no just wasn't the answer anymore,\" Chafin said.\nBut several Republican senators remained strongly opposed, saying Medicaid costs would eventually overwhelm the rest of the state's budget needs for schools and public safety.\n\"This is raising the cost of health care and will do nothing to help the people of Virginia,\" said GOP Sen. Mark Obenshain.\nExpanding Medicaid to cover more low-income families was a key provision of the Affordable Care Act advanced by former President Barack Obama.\nVirginia Democrats have pushed for years to expand Medicaid, saying their state should not pass up the roughly $2 billion in extra federal funding the program would bring to the state. Republicans had previously blocked past expansion efforts, saying the long-term costs were unsustainable.\nPresident Donald Trump has sought to negate his predecessor's health law — but ironically, his administration's embrace of work requirements for low-income people on Medicaid prompted lawmakers in some conservative states to resurrect plans to expand health care for the poor.\nA federal-state collaboration originally meant for poor families and severely disabled people, Medicaid has grown to become the largest government health insurance program, now covering 1 in 5 people. Obama's health care overhaul gave states the option of expanding Medicaid to cover more low-income adults.\nThe GOP-controlled General Assembly's support for Medicaid comes despite Trump administration rejections. Virginia saw its state legislature reshaped by an anti-Trump wave last year, as Democrats made unexpectedly large gains in the state House. And a failure by the GOP-led Congress to repeal and replace the health law helped spur several of Virginia's Republican state legislators to flip positions.\nDemocrats campaigned heavily on expanding Medicaid last year and some House Republicans are eager to take the issue off the table for next year's election, when both House and Senate seats are up."

I am asking in the domain of politics. Tell me about Limited Edition Skechers D’Lites & Toei Animation One Piece Collection to Launch in Europe
|
{
"text": [
"MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 23, 2018--After initially launching in Asia and with an upcoming debut in the United States and Canada, SKECHERS USA, Inc. (NYSE:SKX) is extending its popular anime collaboration to Europe as well with the launch of Skechers X One Piece. The colorful collection unites Toei Animation’s popular anime series with Skechers D’Lites, one of the footwear company’s original styles.\nThis press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180423005239/en/\nSkechers launches limited edition One Piece collection in Europe (Photo: Business Wire)\n“Pairing the iconic long-running anime series One Piece with one of our top heritage styles resonated with our consumers in South Korea and China who have been driving trends for the past few years,” began Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “And now fashion moves at light speed, so as influencers around the world had already been embracing Skechers D’Lites and the chunky sneaker trend, we started to see style purveyors—from Hypebae, Hypebeast, GQ, and High Snobiety —covering Skechers X One Piece collaboration as a must have fashion style. We’ve moved fast to share the collaboration with the United States, Canada, and now Europe—one of the largest international markets for Skechers.”\n“We’re thrilled to partner with an amazing global footwear brand in Skechers to launch this exciting fashion initiative across Europe,” said Ryuji Kochi, President of Toei Animation Europe. “Skechers D’Lites embody an energetic trend that’s been taking the world by storm and much like the Straw Hat Pirates in One Piece, our fans are always enthusiastically seeking out the next new adventure in life, so this partnership is a perfect fit. We are confident that the combined merchandising efforts of both Toei Animation and Skechers will bring long-lasting success for this collaboration.”\n“The red hot chunky sneaker look has been taking over fashion runways in Europe, creating intense buzz,” added Marvin Bernstein, managing partner of SKECHERS S.à.r.l. “So it’s a unique opportunity for us to bring the collaboration of the D’Lites, the originator of the chunky look, and the legendary One Piece series to Europe where we expect it will resonate with stylish consumers across the continent. We’re thrilled that this is all happening with Toei Animation, the pioneers of Japanese animation.”\nOriginally exclusive to the South Korean and China markets, the collection will be imported to Europe in multiple different colorways—each embracing a unique One Piece character: Luffy, Chopper, Sanji, Zoro, Law, and Doflamingo. The footwear will be available beginning July 2018 at Skechers retail stores and select specialty stores in France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain/Portugal, United Kingdom, and Central Eastern Europe [Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Kosovo, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, and Slovenia].\nEiichiro Oda’s One Piece is the best-selling manga in history with more than 430 million copies worldwide. In 1997, it spawned an acclaimed anime series that has produced 830+ episodes plus 15 movies. Following the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and his fearless Straw Hat Pirates, fans are taken on a fantastical journey across a world teeming with wonders and imagination. A multi-generational property, it continues to captivate viewers both young and old. The story and its characters have also expanded across other media into film, television, and video/mobile games, as well as a theme park in Japan.\nSkechers pioneered the chunky sneaker look two decades ago with the Skechers Energy for men and women as well as the Skechers Stamina for men. The style evolved and the Company introduced Skechers D’Lites—a lighter version of its original style—in 2007. Though the collection has always had a dedicated consumer base, sales accelerated across Asia over the last two years after regional marketing included K-Pop groups. In 2017, the Company relaunched an even lighter update of Skechers D’Lites in celebration of its ten-year anniversary.\nAbout SKECHERS USA, Inc.\nSKECHERS USA, Inc., based in Manhattan Beach, California, designs, develops, and markets a diverse range of lifestyle footwear for men, women, and children, as well as performance footwear for men and women. SKECHERS footwear is available in the United States and over 170 countries and territories worldwide via department and specialty stores, 2,651 SKECHERS Company-owned and third-party-owned retail stores, and the Company’s e-commerce websites.

"LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge ruled Tuesday that a USC graduate student accused of stabbing a professor to death on campus was not guilty by reason of insanity.\nThe ruling, based on reports from two psychiatrists, means that David Jonathan Brown could spend the rest of his life in a state psychiatric hospital. The 29-year-old has a March 6 hearing to determine where he will be placed.\nBrown killed his mentor, Siaufung \"Bosco\" Tjan, on Dec. 2, 2016, inside the University of Southern California building where the 50-year-old psychology professor ran an intensive lab that studied vision loss, authorities said.\nThe killing occurred on the final day of classes before final examinations. Prosecutors said that Brown told authorities he believed he was \"a victim of human experimentation.\"\nTjan's widow spoke during the hearing in Los Angeles Superior Court.\n\"He was not a soldier in a war zone or policeman in a dangerous street. He was murdered in his research lab,\" Carissa Pang said, according to City News Service.\n\"I feel helpless when my son asked me why his father was killed,\" she said.\nShe said she told him that the killer was \"having bad thoughts.\"\nBrown's family \"gives their condolences and hopes that you find some solace,\" defense attorney Steve Schoenfield told her.\nTjan's family will be notified of any changes in where Brown is housed and what treatment he receives, Judge Leslie A. Swain told Pang.\nAfter the killing, Brown's fellow graduate students described him as nice and intelligent but possibly troubled.\nBrenton Keller wrote on Facebook that classmates knew things weren't right because Brown wouldn't always finish his work and would go missing for weeks at a time."

The plant would cost more than $1.6 billion to construct.\nThis press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180424006657/en/\nThe Port of Brownsville is the only deepwater seaport directly on the U.S.-Mexico border, and the largest land-owning public port authority in the nation with 40,000 acres of land.

I am asking in the domain of politics. Tell me about Chip Ganassi wants to keep rolling after 200th victory
|
{
"text": [
"CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Chip Ganassi likes to tell his drivers there is no such thing as accidents, all are preventable.\nUnless, of course, a meteor falls from the sky and destroys a race car. That's the only true accident, according to the veteran team owner.\nHis two cars had the GT Le Mans class well covered last weekend at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, which should have been a relief for Ganassi. The team of Joey Hand, Dirk Mueller and Sebastien Bourdais was most dominant for over 22 hours, but was caught by strategy and beaten by the sister team of Ryan Briscoe, Richard Westbrook and Scott Dixon.\nThe two cars combined to lead all but nine of the 783 laps in class completed at Daytona International Speedway. That's an agonizing feeling for a car owner, Ganassi said, because it would literally take a meteor to snatch certain victory. Nothing short of a catastrophe was going to keep one of his Ford GT's out of victory lane.\nIt was nerve-wracking for Ganassi, and perhaps 24 hours of tension muted the post-race party for his 200th win as an organization. He was still reluctant to celebrate Wednesday and said that 200 victories are a testament to team manager Mike Hull and a winning culture that stretches through his organization.\n\"My hat is off to the team, the job that those guys do,\" Ganassi said. \"There will be time to reflect on that another time. This is the beginning of the season, it was the beginning of the sports car season. The beginning of the NASCAR season is coming up, then the beginning of the IndyCar season. I think it is my job as the guy who operates the company is to just get everyone launched. Let's get this thing started, let's go win some races and go win some championships.\"\nThe 1-2 finish at Daytona was the eighth at the Rolex for Ganassi, who was also the grand marshal for the race. His teams have won six overall Rolex's and two of three class victories since he dropped from prototype to GTLM in 2016.\nGanassi's first win came in IndyCar when Michael Andretti won in 1994 at Australia. The 100th win also came in an IndyCar race when Dixon won in 2008 at Nashville. Ganassi has won championships with Jimmy Vasser, Alex Zanardi, Juan Pablo Montoya, Dario Franchitti and Dixon. He's won the 500 with Montoya, Franchitti and Dixon.\nGanassi is the only team owner to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Indianapolis 500, Daytona 500, Brickyard 400, Rolex and 12 Hours of Sebring.\nIt was fitting that the winning team included Dixon, who will end his career as one of the greatest in IndyCar. He has 41 career victories with Ganassi, and at 16 years with the team owner is the longest-tenured driver in organization history.\nDixon and Ganassi both joke that Dixon's job security is because he never calls his boss and never complains. The reality is that driver and car owner both want the same thing and take a straightforward approach to accomplishing goals.\n\"Everybody thrives in the winning culture that this team has, and they've definitely proven it in many ways with Chip, obviously across many different disciplines in auto racing,\" Dixon said.\nLast week, Roger Penske's return to sports cars was celebrated and The Captain earned the spotlight for the precision of his operation (and the fact he stayed awake the entire 24 hours). But it was Ganassi's team that put on a clinic.\nThe two owners are rivals in IndyCar, NASCAR and now sports cars. Dixon was aware the Penske presence could be rattling to competitors. The Ganassi guys didn't look twice. They knew they had the equipment and effort to get the job done.\n\"Everybody just wants to win,\" Dixon said. \"That's the most simple thing: We come here each weekend to win. There's no thinking about finishing (the race) or finishing second.\"\nNext up is a return trip to Daytona for the start of NASCAR's season. A month after that, IndyCar begins and Ganassi's calendar will be filled with racing.\n\"I don't want to sound too ambitious here, but I will tell you that I think the team is certainly poised to do well across all sectors,\" Ganassi said.\n___\nMore AP Auto Racing: https://racing.ap.org/"

I am asking in the domain of sports. Tell me about Machado to move from 3B to SS for Orioles, Showalter says
|
{
"text": [
"BALTIMORE (AP) — Even if Manny Machado doesn't switch teams this season, he almost certainly will be changing his position in the infield.\nBaltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Saturday that Machado will move from third base to shortstop this spring, and shortstop Tim Beckham will be shifted to third.\nThe shuffle will become permanent unless something goes wrong — or Machado gets traded to another club.\n\"There could be some adjustments if we don't like the feel of it, but that's where we're going to head into it,\" Showalter said at FanFest, an annual offseason event designed to promote interest in the club.\nMachado and second baseman Jonathan Schoop did not attend.\nMachado becomes a free agent after this year and is sure to demand a huge contract. The Orioles have entertained trade offers for the 25-year-old, who's been an All-Star in three of his six seasons with Baltimore.\nDan Duquette, vice president of baseball operations for the Orioles, has to decide whether to deal Machado sometime between now and September or seek to sign him to a long-term deal.\n\"That's a big decision for the organization, obviously,\" Duquette said. \"But we're planning on Manny being with the club. We explored all those options. We think the strongest option is for Manny to be on the ballclub.\"\nMachado played in 156 games last season, offsetting a career-low .259 batting average with 33 home runs and 95 RBIs. He has averaged 35 home runs and 92 RBIs over the past three years.\nMachado avoided arbitration this month by agreeing to a $16 million contract for 2018. He received $11.5 million last season.\nDrafted as a shortstop as the third overall pick in 2010, Machado played third base with Baltimore next to slick-fielding J.J. Hardy, whose contract expired after last season.\nSo when they return to the field next month in Florida, the Orioles will have Machado at shortstop with Beckham on his left. Beckham came to Baltimore from Tampa Bay in July and played shortstop for the injured Hardy over the final two months.\n\"I think Tim would rather play shortstop, as Manny would,\" Showalter said. \"Tim's big thing is getting an opportunity to play every day at one position. We need to settle both those guys into a spot and let them get into it.\"\nShowalter said Machado was enthusiastic about the switch.\n\"All indications are, he's really excited about this,\" Showalter said. \"I can't imagine him being in a better frame of mind or setup to do this. I think out of his respect for J.J. the past few years he's been very professional about it. But it's not like he's changing positions. He's going back to the position he's equipped to play.\"\nDeciding what to do with Machado is only one problem Duquette has faced this offseason. He's also been trying to fill out a starting rotation that currently consists of Dylan Bundy, Kevin Gausman and perhaps Miguel Castro, who made his first major league start on Sept. 30 after pitching in relief for 75 games over three seasons.\n\"Obviously we have work to do to address some of the deficiencies on our ballclub,\" Duquette said. \"We're going to continue to build our pitching staff, most notably the starting pitching.\"\nIf Castro joins the rotation, the Orioles will be further pressed to fill out the back end of the bullpen. Closer Zach Britton tore his Achilles tendon during an offseason workout and will likely miss the entire 2018 season, leaving setup man Brad Brach the odds-on favorite to take over as the stopper.\n\"I'm hoping I get a shot to close. I'd be lying if I say I didn't,\" said Brach, who served significant time as a closer in 2017 while Britton was sidelined with elbow and knee issues.\nBrach had 18 saves but blew six chances.\n\"I think I did all right,\" Brach said. \"Hopefully, I get another chance to do it.\"\n___\nMore AP baseball: https://apnews.com/tag/MLBbaseball"

I am asking in the domain of entertainment. Tell me about UK Brexit law faces battle as leaked paper sees economic woe

"text": [
"LONDON (AP) — Britain's key piece of Brexit legislation is starting a new battle in Parliament, as the government downplays a leaked internal document saying leaving the European Union will hurt the U.K. economy.\nThe House of Lords on Tuesday began scrutinizing the EU Withdrawal Bill, which is designed to convert thousands of EU laws into British statutes when the U.K. leaves the bloc in March 2019. Without it, Britain could face a legal black hole after Brexit.\nA majority of members of Parliament's unelected upper house oppose Brexit, and will try to amend the legislation.\nMeanwhile, an assessment prepared for the government and leaked to news site BuzzFeed forecasts that Brexit will leave the economy between 2 percent and 8 percent worse off, depending what trade deal Britain strikes with the EU."

"ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan's army says militants opened fire on an army vehicle on patrol in the country's mountainous northwestern region near the Afghan border, killing two soldiers.\nTuesday's statement says the military vehicle came under attack in the North Waziristan tribal region. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but Islamic militants have long been operating in the area.\nThe military has carried out massive operation against them but militants are able to cross the porous Afghan-Pakistan border and shelter on the other side. They have also been able to carry out cross-border attacks.\nThe Pakistani army has been constructing a series of fences along the border, which zigzags across a remote and difficult mountain terrain, to check the movement of militants.\nAfghanistan objects to the construction of the fences."

I am asking in the domain of politics. Tell me about Gunman who shot congressman had history of anti-GOP activity
|
{
"text": [
"BELLEVILLE, Ill. (AP) — The gunman who shot a top GOP congressman and several other people Wednesday at a baseball practice outside the nation's capital had a long history of lashing out at Republicans and once frightened a neighbor by firing a rifle into a field behind his Illinois house.\nJames T. Hodgkinson, 66, wounded House Rep. Steve Scalise before he was fatally shot by police who had been guarding the House majority whip.\nIn the hours after the attack in Alexandria, Virginia, a picture began to emerge of an attacker with a mostly minor arrest record who worked as a home inspector and despised the Republican Party.\nOn Facebook, Hodgkinson was a member of a group called \"Terminate the Republican Party,\" a fact that seemed to take on new meaning in light of an account from South Carolina Rep. Jeff Duncan, who said that as he was preparing to leave the baseball field, a man politely asked him whether it was a Democrat or Republican team before quietly walking off.\nUntil recently, Hodgkinson ran a home-inspection business out of his house. His Facebook page shows that he was a fan of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent who last year made an unsuccessful presidential bid. Sanders acknowledged Wednesday that Hodgkinson had apparently been among many volunteers on his 2016 campaign.\nA search of online newspapers show that Hodgkinson frequently wrote letters to his hometown newspaper, the Belleville News-Democrat, which published nearly two dozen letters between 2010 and 2012, many of which included complaints about the same theme: income inequality.\nHodgkinson, who lived in the community just across the Mississippi River from St. Louis, compared the economic conditions of the time to those that preceded the Great Depression and excoriated Congress for not increasing the number of tax brackets and taking other tax reform measures.\nOn May 14, 2010, he wrote: \"I don't envy the rich; I despise the way they have bought our politicians and twisted our laws to their benefit.\"\nLess than a year later, on March 4, 2011, he wrote that Congress should rewrite tax codes to ease the tax burdens of the middle class.\n\"Let's get back to the good ol' days, when our representatives had a backbone and a conscience,\" he wrote.\nLater that year, in October 2011, he applauded the Occupy Wall Street protesters in New York and Boston, writing that the demonstrators \"are tired of our do-nothing Congress doing nothing while our country is going down the tubes.\"\nHodgkinson also had arrests in his background for a series of minor offenses and at least one more serious offense. Court records show that his legal trouble started in the 1990s with arrests for resisting police and drunken driving. His most serious problems came in 2006, when he was arrested on a battery charge.\nIn April 2006, he was arrested on two counts of battery — one for striking a man in the face with a wood shotgun stock and another for punching a woman with his fist, as well as a count of unlawful damage to a motor vehicle for cutting the passenger seatbelt of the woman's car with a knife. According to the court clerk, the charges were dismissed in November of that year.\nThough there are no other legal problems listed in St. Clair County, which includes Belleville, since 2011, Hodgkinson did come to the attention of local law enforcement as recently as March 24 of last year.\nBill Schaumleffel recalled that he heard loud shots being fired outside his house, which stands about 500 feet behind Hodgkinson's home. When he went outside, he saw Hodgkinson shooting a rifle into or on a cornfield. He was squeezing off five or six shots at a time and, according to the report of the incident, fired about 50 shots in all.\n\"I yelled, 'Quit shooting toward the houses,'\" he said.\nWhen Hodgkinson refused to stop, Schaumleffel called the sheriff's department.\n\"I told the sheriff, 'I don't know what's the matter with that guy, but he can't be shooting like that,'\" he said.\nSt. Clair County Sheriff Rick Watson said Wednesday that Hodgkinson showed the deputy all required firearms licenses and documentation involving the high-powered hunting rifle, which he said he was simply using for target practice.\nThe deputy cautioned Hodgkinson about doing such shooting around homes, given that the rounds can travel up to a mile. No charges were filed.\n\"He said, 'I understand,' and said he needed to take the gun to a range to shoot it, Watson said. \"There was nothing we could arrest him for, and there was no indication he was mentally ill or going to harm anyone.\n\"The only thing I was concerned about was that it was such a high-powered gun, and that somebody could possibly get hurt. We try to make sure people are reasonable when doing this.\"\nWatson said the deputy on Wednesday recalled Hodgkinson as being \"very cordial.\"\nDale Walsh, 65, of Belleville, said he was a lifelong friend of Hodgkinson's. He said Hodgkinson spent most of his life building homes but in recent years turned to home inspections.\nWalsh said Hodgkinson never talked politics with him and did not seem prone to violence. But he said he was a passionate person who occasionally got into fights.\n\"He was the type of person that if you challenged him, he wouldn't back off.\"\n____\nBabwin reported from Chicago. Jim Suhr in Kansas City, Missouri; John O'Connor in Springfield; and Jake Pearson in Washington also contributed to this report."

I am asking in the domain of politics. Tell me about Rays' Eovaldi stellar in return from Tommy John surgery

"text": [
"OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Nathan Eovaldi pitched six innings of no-hit ball in his return to the majors following a second Tommy John surgery, leading the Tampa Bay Rays to a 6-0 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday night.\nEovaldi (1-0) faced one over the minimum through six innings in his Tampa Bay debut. He threw 70 pitches and had four strikeouts. The only runner to reach base against him was Matt Chapman, who drew a one-out walk in the first.\nWilmer Font, acquired by the Rays from the A's last Friday, gave up Jed Lowrie's one-out single in the seventh for Oakland's only hit of the game. Vidal Nuno got the last three outs to finish the one-hitter.\nRob Refsnyder hit a three-run home run off A's starter Sean Manaea (5-6), and Johnny Field also homered for the Rays.\nThe game drew an announced crowd of 6,295, the smallest at the Coliseum since April 3, 2003.\nEovaldi last pitched in the majors on Aug. 10, 2016, for the Yankees. Nine days later, he underwent a second elbow surgery. Eovaldi also had Tommy John surgery in 2007 when he was a junior in high school.\nThe 28-year-old missed the first month of this season after undergoing surgery March 30 to remove loose bodies in his elbow. Eovaldi made four rehab starts in the minors before being activated off the disabled list prior to Wednesday's game.\nEovaldi, the 12th pitcher in major league history to start in the majors after having two Tommy John surgeries, induced seven groundouts and retired the final 17 batters he faced following the walk to Chapman.\nFont then came in and retired Matt Chapman on a liner to shortstop in the seventh before Lowrie pushed a single up the middle.\nNuno replaced Font in the ninth and gave up a leadoff walk to Chad Pinder then retired the next three batters.\nThat was all the offense the A's could muster while being shut out by the Rays for the second time in three games.\nOakland went into the game batting .216 in May, the second-lowest average in the majors.\nTRAINER'S ROOM\nAthletics: INF Marcus Semien was placed on the paternity leave list before the game. Chad Pinder started at shortstop in Semien's absence. RHP Josh Lucas was called up from Triple-A Nashville. ... RHP Liam Hendriks began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville.\nUP NEXT\nTampa Bay RHP Ryne Stanek (1-0, 3.24 ERA) will make his second career start, three days after getting a win coming out of the bullpen. RHP Daniel Mengden (5-4, 2.85) goes for Oakland.\n___\nMore AP baseball: https://apnews.com/tag/MLBbaseball"
