Question: MOM FRIENDS, PART 3: Is it really that important to have other parent friends?

Welcome back to MOM FRIENDS, the 3-part series where moms chat about making friends with others parents.
This is the last leg of journey! So we're asking the ever-important question, the reason we should or shouldn't be chatting "mom friends" in the first place.
Here we go:
Are mom friends really that important?
We talked about WHY it's hard to make and maintain friends as a mom, and HOW moms are doing it (like Facebook, for example). But this question is key.
Most of the moms we spoke to said friendships, whether it be with parents or non-parents, are important. To bounce ideas off of, to vent to, to brag to, to laugh with and more. The key, it seems, is friends make you feel like you're not alone.
Check out what the moms had to say.
As a young mom, having other parent friends helps you feel less like an outsider:
Ashley Lopez, mother of 3:
"When I was younger I thought it was really important to have mom friends. I had my son at 18 and was 23 when I had my daughter. At 18, all of my friends from high school were going out and being a normal 18-year-old. I still wanted to be around other moms so I wouldn’t feel so alone and embarrassed.
When I had my daughter, I was attending ASU and no one that I talked to had any kids so I definitely did not fit in. I don’t know if it was the age or the relationship I was in, but I didn’t feel like I needed to be friends with other moms. Of course it would be nice because they understand your life more, but it’s just not that important to me anymore. I’m happy with the way my life is now with mom friends and my non-mom friends."

What Lopez wants people to know:
I think it’s just important to be around people who will better your life as a person and a mother. That being said, I'm also a stepmom and it is important to meet women who are step moms. It’s a different territory and it’s difficult to not over step any boundaries or to just understand the boundaries in general. Talking to other moms truly does help.
It's always good to get advice from fellow moms
Tatyana, mother of 1:
"They’re someone who can offer advise and be an ear. Someone who knows what you’re going through."
What Tatyana wants people to know:
It’s okay not to have mom friends as well. I have plenty of friends who aren’t parents but can provide great examples as individuals.
Kristi Piper, mother of 5:
I have a "Google friend" whom I go to for any questions like where to sign my kids up for football or need-to-know info about the area. "I consider ... friendships very valuable."
Friends remind you of your individuality

"I think it's important for mom's to go out without their kids every once and a while too. It feels like once you become a mom then you don't get to be your own person anymore, you have to be completely selfless and put your kids first 100% of the time. Some people are able to do that but you shouldn't feel bad for needing a break from your kids. It's nice to go out with your friends and have a conversation without constantly being interrupted."
It's nice to be with people who get it
Araceli Perez, mother of 2 :
"It’s nice to relate to the mom friends that I do have. Most of the time, when my kid decides to act out, I don’t feel discouraged around them since they can relate. ... The best mom friends are the ones that never judge or try to say something when it comes to your choices."
It's different than a romantic relationship
Whitney Ford, mother of 2:
"I notice when I get out of the house, it always ends up being worth it," Ford said. It's "having the empathy and human connection" that is so important she added.

"It's good for your mental health to have another person that you can relate to on that level," she said. And it's different than a spouse.
"Moms and dads experience parenthood differently, so having other mom friends ... I really do think it's important for your wellbeing."

In the end, that tends to hurt all sides as exporting producers suffer but so do consumers who face higher costs, experts say.\nThere was some hope that free trade proponents in the White House, like economic adviser Gary Cohn, would dissuade Trump from going ahead with the tariffs. But Cohn’s resignation Tuesday dealt a blow to that expectation.\nEU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstroem said Wednesday that the EU is circulating among member states a list of U.S. goods to target with tariffs so that it can respond as quickly as possible.\nThe list so far includes U.S. steel and agricultural products, as well as other products like bourbon, peanut butter, cranberries and orange juice.\nShe did not say what level of tariffs the EU would set, leaving it unclear what the economic impact would be.\n“This is basically a stupid process, the fact that we have to do this. But we have to do it,” EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker had said Friday. “We can also do stupid.”\nThe EU considers itself to be caught in the crossfire of this particular trade dispute, in which Trump has mainly singled out China for being unfair in its commercial deals.\nTrump last week said his government would levy penalties of 25 percent on imported steel and 10 percent on aluminum imports, but did not say whether traditional allies like the EU and Canada would be exempt. On Wednesday, Cabinet members suggested Canada and Mexico might escape and that the announcement was due at the end of this week.\nOnce Trump officially announces the tariffs, they would start almost immediately, experts say.\nSo the EU has moved ahead with preparations for the worst.\nMalmstroem said that the EU, the world’s biggest trading bloc, rejects Trump’s reasoning that the tariffs are backed by the international legal right to protect national security.\n“We cannot see how the European Union, friends and allies in NATO, can be a threat to international security in the U.S.,” Malmstroem told reporters. “From what we understand, the motivation of the U.S. is an economic safeguard measure in disguise, not a national security measure.”\nThe EU itself already has tariffs on many imports. But Malmstroem said Trump’s motives in this case do not appear compatible with World Trade Organization rules and that this means the EU can activate safeguards to protect its own markets.\nThe WTO said Wednesday that, so far, 18 members — including China, Australia, Brazil, the EU, India, Japan, Norway and Russia — have expressed concerns about Trump’s proposed tariffs.\nAt the origin of the problem is overproduction by China, which has flooded world markets with steel and aluminum, driving prices down and intensifying pressure on producers in the U.S. and Europe. Nearly half the steel produced globally in December, for example, came from Chinese mills, according to the World Steel Association. China accounted for more steel production than the United States, Russia, Japan and 28 countries of the EU combined.\nBut the U.S. has already thrown up barriers to Chinese imports. As a result, China ranks only 11th in steel and fourth in aluminum imports to the United States. Trump’s tariffs appear far more likely to hurt a staunch ally, Canada, which is No. 1 in both supplies of steel and aluminum to the U.S.\nChad Bow, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, estimates that Trump’s tariffs would cost Canada $3.2 billion a year and the EU $2.6 billion. By contrast, they would cost China only $689 million.\nEU Council President Donald Tusk, who chairs summits of presidents and prime ministers, said the bloc’s leaders will discuss the issue at their next meeting on March 22-23.\nHe rejected Trump’s assertion in a tweet that trade wars are good and easy to win. “The truth is quite the opposite: trade wars are bad and easy to lose,” said Tusk.\nFragkiskos Filippaios, of the University of Kent’s business school in England, says that the damage from a trade dispute will depend on whether the sides try to resolve their differences through the arbitration of the WTO, whose verdicts have so far always been accepted.\n“Moving away from WTO dispute settlement means that retaliation can easily escalate and we might find ourselves in the middle of a trade war between the two most important trade regions in the world,” he said.\nMalmstroem urged Washington to work with the Europeans to address the root causes of oversupply in the global market.\nShe recalled that similar U.S. action on steel in 2002 by then president George W. Bush “cost thousands and thousands of U.S. jobs” and said she hoped that Washington has not forgotten this.\nAt that time, the EU compiled a list of items for retaliatory tariffs that included steel products, but also orange juice, apples, sunglasses, knitwear, motor boats and photocopying machines. It represented $2.2 billion in U.S. exports to the EU. Bush withdrew the steel tariffs and the list was never acted upon.\n___\nPaul Wiseman in Washington and Kirsten Grieshaber in Berlin contributed to this report.']" Match: "['Represent the title to find an explanatory news article', 'EU ready for a ‘stupid’ trade war if Trump slaps on tariffs']"

CLOSE Bryttany Hyde of Woodstock, Ga., encourages moms to celebrate their bodies by turning the camera on themselves once in a while.

A Georgia mom is encouraging moms to celebrate their postpartum beauty.
Bryttany Hyde, mom to a 1-year-old and 3-year-old, knows how easy it can be to get lost in mom identity. Hyde, who documents her parenting journeys on Hustle or Hyde and The Hydeaway, says it's important moms understand how to own their life.
Celebrating mom bods is part of that. Here are three tips Hyde has for embracing self love in motherhood:
1. Turn the camera on your selfie. Every once in a while, spend time on yourself and take a few photos to feel good about the way you look, Hyde says.
2. Celebrate health goals with photoshoots. When Hyde realized she could fit into her wedding dress again, she asked a friend, a professional photographer, for a photo session. She encourages moms to schedule a professional photo session, too —whether that's dressed up or boudoir-style. "You are beautiful," Hyde says and these photos will help show you that.
3. Create a new wardrobe. Can't fit into the pre-pregnancy jeans? Toss them, and buy new ones, Hyde says. "Celebrate your new mom bod," she says.

Question: Marshall County December home sales increase 2 percent from 2016

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

Click here to view or print the entire monthly report compliments of the ACRE Corporate Cabinet.
Sales: According to the North Alabama Multiple Listing Service, December Marshall County home sales totaled 65 units, representing a 1.6 percent increase from the same month last year. Total 2017 sales through December were up 7 percent from the same period in 2016. Two more resources to review: Quarterly Report and the Annual Report.
Click here to check out all Marshall County housing data.
Forecast: December sales were one unit or 1.6 percent above the Alabama Center for Real Estate’s (ACRE) monthly forecast.
Supply: Marshall County housing inventory totaled 423 units, a decrease of 14.5 percent from December 2016’s 495 listings. Inventory in the area decreased 5.4 percent from the prior month. Historical data indicates that December inventory on average (2012-2016) decreases from the month of November by 5.5 percent.
Demand: December home sales in Marshall County increased 12.1 percent from the previous month’s total of 58 transactions. Historical data indicate that December residential sales on average (2012-2016) decrease by 9.2 percent from the month of November. Homes selling in the area during December averaged 108 days on the market, a decrease of 6.1 percent from the same month last year.
Seeking balance: Marshall County had 6.5 months of housing supply during December, down from 7.7 months of housing supply during the same month last year. Restated, at the December sales pace, it would take 6.5 months to absorb the current inventory for sale. The market equilibrium (balance between supply and demand) is considered by most real estate professionals to be approximately 6 months.
Pricing: The Marshall County median sales price in December was $121,000, an increase of 2 percent from December 2016. The December median sales price was 10 percent below the November median sales price. Historical data indicate that the December median sales price on average (2012-16) decreases from November. Pricing can fluctuate from month to month as the sample size of data is subject to seasonal buying patterns. ACRE recommends contacting a local real estate professional for additional market pricing information.
Industry perspective: “2017 ushered in with an outlook of uncertainty on the heels of the 2016 national elections, but 2017 went out with an exclamation punctuation mark of growth,” said KC Conway, director of research and corporate engagement at the Alabama Center for Real Estate (ACRE). Conway said 2017 “was the year we have waited a decade for since the onset of the 2006-2007 housing crisis. U.S. GDP turned in back-to-back quarters of more than 3 percent growth in Quarter 2 and Quarter 3; and 2017 will be the first year in a decade that the U.S. turned in an annual GDP growth rate north of 2 percent. It was just 1.7 percent in 2016. 2018 will see 2.5 to 3 percent GDP growth.
“Employment growth is a good-news story as well. The ADP National Employment Report is this economist’s go-to monthly jobs report as it is based on rich primary data – not a survey, as in the case of BLS jobs report. The January ADP report revealed more than 250,000 jobs created in the month of December (compared with 148,000 in the BLS year-end jobs report). ADP job growth for the trailing three months (more than 224,000 jobs), six months (more than 199,000 jobs), and 12 months (more than 212,000 jobs) were all at or above 200,000 jobs per month. This trend should continue through 2018.
“Heading into 2018, the more important questions to answer for Alabama Realtors are:
What do the real estate metrics look like?
Will home builders finally be confident enough to start more inventory?
Will the Fed ruin the good times with more rate hikes in 2018?
“With respect to the real estate market conditions and home-builder confidence, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Housing Market Index (HMI) is your best barometer of things to come. The HMI is a monthly survey of NAHB members to take their pulse on the single-family housing market and rate conditions for the sale of new homes over the coming six months. In December 2017, the HMI registered 74 — the second-best reading since 1985 and best since December 1998. A reading above 50 reflects growth. The December 2017 reading of 74 compares to a record low of just 8 in January 2010. We have come a long way since 2009-2010.
“With respect to home-building activity in Alabama during 2018, some perspective on 2017 is fruitful. In 2017, Alabama issued 13,200 permits in the January to November period – of which 11,200 were for single-family residences and 2,000 multifamily units. Breaking down the Alabama permit activity, Huntsville has overtaken Birmingham for the most total housing permits with 2,804 (2,422 single family versus 382 multifamily). The top five metropolitan statistical areas for housing permit activity during 2017 through November were:
Huntsville with 2,804 total permits. Birmingham with 2,746 permits. Daphne-Foley with 1,699 total permits. Auburn with 1,292 total housing permits. Tuscaloosa with 976 total new permits.
“Finally, will the Fed ruin the good times with too many rate hikes? In short, the answer is no. However, the Fed is worth watching in 2018 as it is a new cast of characters led by a new chairman (Chairman Jerome Powell has yet to be confirmed by the Senate but is expected to take over in February or March from existing Chair Janet Yellen). The Fed is not likely to depart from rate hikes in 2018 (expect three, maybe four, starting in March due to higher GDP and tighter labor markets). Communicate now with your prospective spring home buyers as the 10-Year Treasury is rising. It is already threatening a 2.6 percent level. Thirty-year mortgage rates will climb above 4 percent in 2018. New home builders can manage rate increases by curtailing amenities in the new home to buy-down the mortgage rate to 4 percent or below. New home activity will not be impacted, but existing home listings will have a disadvantage unless sellers are willing to contribute toward points to also buy down the rate. Dust off your playbook as to how this works so you don’t lose a sale in 2018. Home-price appreciation is strong and ran above 6 percent in 2017. It will remain strong (above 5 percent) in 2018 despite signs that more inventory is going to be put in the ground during the spring 2018 months.”

Inland Empire house hunters are watching listings sell five days faster than a year ago.
ReportsOnHousing tracks homebuying patterns found in real estate broker networks: supply (active listings); demand (new escrows in past 30 days); and “market time” (a measure of selling speed of days it takes a typical listing to enter escrow).
As of March 8, ReportsOnHousing found across Southern California’s four-county region supply of existing residences for sale was 26,324 listings, down 1,320 in a year, or 5 percent. It’s also down 10 percent vs. 2013-17 average. Meanwhile, demand rose to 12,782 new escrows, up a thin 35 sales contracts in 12 months. That translates to a “market time” of 62 days vs. 65 a year earlier and an average 69 days in 2013-2017.
In the Inland Empire, supply was 12,227 listings, down 714 residences for sale in a year or 6 percent and down 10 percent vs. 2013-17 average. Demand rose to 5,050 new escrows, up 89 sales contracts in 12 months or 2 percent and up 7 percent vs. 2013-17 average. That equals a market time of 73 days vs. 78 a year earlier and an average 87 days in the previous five years.
In Riverside County …
Supply: 8,023 listings, down 735 residences for sale in a year or 8 percent; and down 12 percent vs. 2013-17 average.
Demand: 2,965 new escrows, down 8 sales contracts in 12 months; and up 5 percent vs. 2013-17 average.

Question: McCabe memo: Trump asks Rosenstein to mention Russia in Comey firing

represent this text to find a news title for it

WASHINGTON — Former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe wrote a memo claiming that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said President Trump asked him to refer to the Russia investigation as a reason for recommending the dismissal of FBI Director James Comey, a person familiar with the matter said Wednesday.
McCabe documented the conversation with Rosenstein, fearing that the deputy attorney general may have provided Trump cover for the abrupt dismissal of Comey. At that time, Comey was overseeing the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, said the source, who is not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.
The source said the memo has since been turned over to Justice special counsel Robert Mueller, who was appointed to manage the investigation last year following Attorney General Jeff Sessions' decision to recuse himself.
Rosenstein, who drafted his own memo for the White House recommending Comey's firing last year, did not refer to Comey's management of the Russia inquiry. Rather, he cited the director's disputed management of the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server as the reason for urging the dismissal.
In the days immediately following Comey's firing, Trump acknowledged in an interview with NBC News that Comey was dismissed because of his oversight of the Russia investigation.
Mueller's inquiry has since expanded to include whether Trump sought to obstruct the investigation by firing Comey.
McCabe was fired earlier this year by Sessions for allegedly making false statements to Justice investigators about disclosures to the media.
He has denied any wrongdoing in the matter.
In addition to the memo related to the alleged Rosenstein conversation, the source familiar with matter said McCabe also authored other memos memorializing his encounters with Trump. Those memos also have been turned over to Mueller's investigators.
McCabe appeared to follow the same protocol as Comey, who also authored memos about his controversial encounters with Trump, including an alleged conversation last year in which the president asked Comey to scuttle the FBI's then-investigation into national security adviser Michael Flynn.
Flynn has since pleaded guilty to lying to FBI agents about his contacts with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak and is cooperating with Mueller's ongoing investigation.

Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating whether President Donald Trump attempted to obstruct justice in the probe of Russian interference in last year's presidential election, according to a story by The Washington Post.
ABC News has not independently confirmed the report, which cites U.S. officials. Reached by ABC News, special counsel spokesman Peter Carr offered no comment.
In response to the story, a spokesman for Trump's attorney Marc Kasowitz issued a statement only addressing what he referred to as a "leak" from the FBI.
“The FBI leak of information regarding the President is outrageous, inexcusable and illegal.”
The special counsel does not operate under the purview of the FBI, but took over the investigation previously led by the agency.
Former FBI Director James Comey suggested in testimony before the Senate Intelligence committee last week that Mueller would consider whether a crime was committed when Trump allegedly told him "I hope you can let this go," referring to the investigation into ex-national security adviser Michael Flynn.
“I don’t think it’s for me to say whether the conversation I had with the president was an effort to obstruct,” Comey said. “I took it as a very disturbing thing, very concerning, but that’s a conclusion I’m sure the special counsel will work towards, to try and understand what the intention was there, and whether that’s an offense.”
The president denies that he asked Comey to drop the Flynn probe, part of his version of the events involving the former director that he said last week he'd be "100 percent" willing to recount under oath.
Trump has been emphatic in denying any connection to the 2016 election meddling that the U.S. intelligence community says Russia was behind.
The president said that he was assured on three occasions by Comey that he was not personally under investigation when Comey's dismissal was announced last month. In testimony before the Senate Intelligence committee last week, Comey affirmed that he previously told Trump he was not personally being investigated in the FBI's counter-intelligence probe.
Scrutiny over Trump's response to the Russia probe and his interactions with his FBI director would mark a new phase in the investigation.
The investigation into obstruction of justice "began days after Comey was fired on May 9," the Washington Post story notes.
In a letter to Comey informing him of his termination, Trump wrote that he was acting on the recommendation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, but days later expressed that the decision was his own and that he was thinking about the Russia investigation when it was made.
On Monday, a friend of Trump's, Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy, claimed that Trump was "considering, perhaps, terminating the special counsel" -- an action that would ultimately have to be made by Rosenstein. The White House pushed back against tthat assertion, with Principal Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders saying that Trump "has no intention to do so."
Rosenstein told the Senate Appropriations Committee Tuesday that Mueller would have "the full degree of independence that he needs to conduct that investigation appropriately" and that he would not follow an order to fire the special counsel "unless I believe those are lawful and appropriate orders."

We’ve had a nod back to many past kits over the years and for a long time in our history we had white trim on the shirts and white shorts but you never see that anymore.
I’d love to see a kit like that one Harry Bath is parading the trophy in above. With hoops like that too, not too thin like the St George WCS kit a few years ago and not too thick like ones we’ve had in recent years.

I've enjoyed the exclusively primrose and blue ones of recent seasons but would like to see a white one again. Not too much white though. Similar to 2009 would be nice. Wirefan

The problem with kits these days is that they are full of sponsors badges and thus even the best shirts look a bit busy.I'd like with a 90% white shirt with a thin primrose and blue chevron. Smaller wolves badge and smaller sponsor logos rubber duckie

Question: Team Sky data release shows Chris Froome's power for that Giro d'Italia attack and what he ate to lose weight during race

Documents released to BBC Sport show Froome's diet, power, and planning for three week race
Just two days after the anti-doping case against Chris Froome was dismissed by the UCI, Team Sky have released data and documents showing the planning and preparation of Froome’s fuelling at the Giro d’Italia and the numbers behind his long-range attack over the Colle delle Finestre on stage 19.
The documents, which were provided to BBC Sport in June and published on Wednesday, give an insight into the team and rider’s approach to the final two weeks of the Giro d’Italia, which he won by 46 seconds ahead of Tom Dumoulin.
Among the files is an “energy expenditure/fuelling plan” for stage 19, setting out the power numbers which he would be aiming for on various parts of the stage (including an hour at 400 watts on the Colle delle Finestre) and what that meant for the amount of carbohydrates that he would be using.
>>> Dave Brailsford reveals Team Sky’s meticulous plan to set up Chris froome’s incredible solo break at the Giro d’Italia
The stage is split into seven phases, which are then seen again in another document analysing Froome’s performance from the day.
This document shows that Froome averaged 603 watts for 16 seconds as he accelerated away from his rivals with 80km to go, before settling in for 24 minutes at 401 watts with an average heart rate of just 150 bpm for the rest of the climb.
These numbers may seem like a lot, but the data shows how hard Team Sky made the first half of the climb in an effort to soften up Froome’s rivals, with the 33-year-old having to average 408 watts for the first 40 minutes of the climb even while sitting in the wheels.
Unsurprisingly Froome’s power was slightly lower for the final climb of the Jafferau, averaging 392 watts for the 25 minutes effort. This was well short of the 450 watts that Froome was aiming for according to the team’s place, but still enough to see him maintain the gap to Dumoulin and ultimately set up the overall race victory.
>>> Chris Froome reveals details of how and why he was cleared in anti-doping investigation
We also get a look at what exactly Froome ate to fuel that epic ride, starting the day with a big breakfast of nearly 1,000 calories that included 400g of rice, an omelette of three whites and one yolk, and four pancakes with jam.
During the ride itself it seems like there might have been as much stress on Froome’s digestive system as his legs as he punched through a massive 14 energy gels along with two bottles of SIS Beta Fuel drink and four plain rice cakes to give a total calorie consumption of 2,348 calories.
Froome then got through the same number of calories in the hours after the race with a recovery drink, smoothie, rice, and Haribo, before another 1,000 calorie dinner consisting of yet more rice and salmon to set him up for the final day in the mountains on stage 20.
What’s interesting is that we can also compare what Froome ate on this crucial day to his diet earlier in the race, and how this ties in with a team plan for him to lose weight as the race progressed.
In general, riders either maintain or gain weight over the course of a Grand Tour, but Froome was actually aiming to lose weight during the first two weeks of the race in order to hit his perfect racing weight of 68.5kg for the final three mountain stages.
>>> How to lose weight cycling: Six essential tips
With this in mind, Froome’s diet from stage 11 of the race – a 159km rolling stage won by Simon Yates on a punchy uphill finish – shows the relatively small amount of food that he was eating at this point.
According to the documents, Froome ate just 2,566 calories during the day, including a breakfast consisting of just a plain omelette and a small glass of juice totalling 524 calories and a dinner of even more rice, vegetables, and chicken totalling just 445 calories.
With an energy expenditure more than 3,000kJ combined with 2,000 calories that his body would have burned just to stay functioning, this gives Froome a significant calorie deficit that would help him shed weight through the middle week of the race.

Kerrison said Froome's salbutamol case "shouldn't take this long to resolve"
Tim Kerrison, the star coach behind Chris Froome, Geraint Thomas and others in Team Sky, has hit out at Froome’s critics and defended his rider.
The Australian took aim at Bernard Hinault for stirring the public and media with his comments this week ahead of the 2018 Tour de France. Hinault suggested riders should strike over Froome’s participation with an asthma drug case still unresolved.
>>> ‘Irresponsible and ill-informed’: Team Sky hit back at Bernard Hinault after comments on Chris Froome
“If things are presented in a way that incites or sensationalises, or fuels anger or resentment towards Chris, then I don’t think that’s very responsible,” Kerrison told The Guardian.
“I think fair treatment in the media is a responsible requirement to ensure the riders’ safety.”
Froome tested over the allowed limit for asthma drug salbutamol on his way to win the 2017 Vuelta a España. Due to the complexity of the case and the legal papers involved, a judge has yet to begin the hearing. A decision could come later this summer.
Meanwhile, because this is specified substance, Froome is free to race. He won the Giro d’Italia this May and is aiming for a fifth Tour title in July.
“I’m very confident that he is innocent. There have never been any question marks for me,” Kerrison said.
“Guilty or innocent, it shouldn’t take this long to resolve. If he’s found to be innocent it just shouldn’t take the months and months that it has done to resolve the situation.”
Critics of Froome, questioning if he is a clean athlete, and his and Sky’s decision to race while the case goes ahead have spoken loudly.
David Lappartient, cycling’s governing boss, said that Froome should sit out. His rivals like Tom Dumoulin and Romain Bardet said the same, with much heavier words from followers filling social media.
Froome does brush off some critics and comments; “that doesn’t make it right though,” Kerrison said.
“Chris is human and it’s only natural that he feels a sense of injustice over the way he’s been treated or reported. But when it’s time to focus on his performance, he’s uniquely good at putting all that to one side and delivering.”
Froome’s fight back and victory in the Giro d’Italia could be seen as one of cycling’s epic rides in decades to come.
Froome crashed twice early in the race and trailed by nearly five minutes ahead of the third week. On the second-last mountain day, Team Sky cracked race leader Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) and Froome launched an 80.3-kilometre solo move that saw him win the Jafferau stage and take the race lead.
Not since 1949, with Fausto Coppi, had a rider gone on such a long solo move to take command of the race. Then, he rode away with 192 kilometres, leaving Gino Bartali saying, “he’s crazy.”
Froome’s monumental ride generated praise, but also scepticism.
“We have never seen a ride like that from him in a race,” Kerrison said.
“Ultimately it was Chris’s idea to do that. He knew the Finestre climb and despite what people say about his bike handling skills, they’re actually pretty good and he doesn’t mind a bit of dirt road.
“Other than trying to help to inform and understand what went into that performance there’s only so much we can do. But I can absolutely guarantee that there was no illegal performance enhancement.”

Question: U2 Reveal ‘You’re the Best Thing About Me’ Short Film

By Scott T. Sterling
U2 have revealed a heart-wrenching new short film to coincide with the band’s latest single, “You’re the Best Thing About Me.”
Related: U2 Send Love Letter to NYC in ‘You’re the Best Thing About Me’ Video
The documentary about love and separation features a newlywed military couple, high school sweethearts, a Syrian refugee family in Greece and a young couple from Mexico City. The film follows each couple for the final 24 hours they are together before one partner has to leave.
“It’s a love song,” explained director Tatia Pilieva of the film. “What’s interesting is not the bringing people together; it’s the separation.”
Pilieva first came to prominence for her 2014 film First Kiss, where she invited 20 strangers to kiss for the first time on camera. After generating millions of views, it went on to win a Gold Lion at Cannes.
“The key for me is that when these people are saying goodbye, they are still very much in love,” she said of her U2 film. “I didn’t want to film a bunch of breakups. I didn’t want to put that into the world. I wanted to put out something positive. Yes, it’s positively heartbreaking, but there’s love all over it.”

Voters who will decide which party holds the majority in next year’s midterms elections are watching.\nRepublicans are negotiating with Democrats on the contentious issue of how much the government should spend on the military and domestic agencies to avert a holiday shutdown. An extension of the program that provides low-cost health care to more than 8 million children and aid to hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico, Texas and Florida need to be addressed. And further complicating the end-of-year talks is the fate of some 800,000 young immigrants here illegally.\nLawmakers are trying to get it all done by Dec. 22.\nPresident Donald Trump steps off Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, Sunday, Dec. 10, 2017.

They combine steep tax cuts for corporations with more modest reductions for most individuals.\nRepublican leaders have struggled to placate GOP lawmakers from high-tax states like California, New York and New Jersey whose constituents would be hit hard by the elimination of the prized federal deduction for state and local taxes. Repeal of the deduction added up to $1.3 trillion in revenue over a decade that could be used for deep tax cuts.\nLawmakers finally settled on a compromise in both bills — full repeal of the state and local deductions for income and sales taxes, but homeowners would be able to deduct up to $10,000 in local property taxes.\nAnd yet it’s still not a done deal.\n“There’s a lot of conversation around the fact that in some of the blue states where the taxes are high, the property tax alone, they will not be able to use the $10,000 possible deductions,” Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., said on NBC’s “Meet the Press with Chuck Todd” on Sunday. “So allowing for income and property taxes, which would cost another $100 billion by the way, to be options for folks in those states would be a better solution. And we’re looking at ways to make that happen.”\nJust a few weeks ago, lawmakers were unyielding on their insistence that the corporate tax rate be slashed from 35 percent to 20 percent. Now, one way to finance the changes on state and local taxes would be to cut the corporate tax rate to 21 or 22 percent instead.\nGOVERNMENT SPENDING\nRepublicans and Democrats are trying to work out a sweeping budget deal. They got a temporary reprieve from a partial government shutdown when they passed a stopgap, two-week bill last Thursday.\nRepublicans want a major boost in defense spending. Democrats want a similar increase for domestic agencies.\nCongress also has to figure out how much disaster aid should be directed to Puerto Rico, Texas and Florida. The Trump administration requested $44 billion last month, an amount lawmakers from hurricane-slammed regions say is insufficient. The latest request would bring the total appropriated for disaster relief this fall to close to $100 billion — and the government still must calculate how much it will cost to rebuild Puerto Rico’s devastated housing stock and electric grid.\nCHILDREN’S HEALTH\nFresh federal money for the Children’s Health Insurance Program, known as CHIP, ran out on Oct. 1, a blow to the widely popular program that provides low-cost medical care to more than 8 million children. Some states have relied on unspent funds, while others that were running out of money got a short-term reprieve in the two-week spending bill.\nLawmakers hope to agree on a long-term budget solution for a program that’s about $14 billion a year.\nIMMIGRATION\nDemocrats want to act now to protect young immigrants who came to the United States illegally as children, with demands that a solution is included in any year-end spending deal.\n“We will not leave here without a DACA fix,” said Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., referring to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.\nThese young immigrants, often referred to as Dreamers, face deportation in a few months after Trump reversed administrative protections established by President Barack Obama.\nRepublicans say it can wait till next year and shouldn’t bog down the broad budget agreement. However, House GOP leaders likely will require Democratic votes for the spending bill and they have to work out a deal with Pelosi.\nAssociated Press writers Marcy Gordon and Andrew Taylor contributed to this report.'] != ['This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title', "1:32 Press Secretary says press should focus more on leaks than Flynn's resignation Pause\n0:49 White House is 'keeping a close eye' on crisis at California's Oroville dam\n2:19 Warren: Shocked to find 'truth was out of order' on the Senate floor\n1:26 Who's at the door?

Question: Indian prime minister pledges to wipe out graft from country

NEW DELHI — Prime Minister Narendra Modi urges people to help him build a prosperous and united India, promising to wipe out corruption and usher in good governance.
In an hourlong speech Tuesday to mark the anniversary of India’s independence from British rule, Modi pledged to bring in transparency to end decades of graft.
“We may have grown up in despair, but now we have to move ahead with confidence,” he said as he addressed the nation from the Red Fort, a sprawling 17th century fortress in the heart of New Delhi.
Modi hailed his government efforts in recent months, including the surprise withdrawal of large currency notes and an overhaul of taxes on goods and services that he said had brought billions of dollars of unaccounted money into the mainstream economy.

GETTY/GOOGLE MAPS Indian forces have been told to fire “countless bullets” in retaliation to Pakistan
Rajnath Singh the Union Home Minister has given “standing orders” to his forces to use “limitless bullets to retaliate a single fire on our territory by the Pakistani forces”. Mr Singh’s comments came after an election rally on the state capital's suburbia. He said: "As our neighbour, we do not want to attack Pakistan first. "We want to live with peace and harmony with our all neighbours. "But, most unfortunately Pakistan is trying to tear down Jammu and Kashmir and continue attacks on our forces and Indian territory.”
The Former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh said during the Left Front government's 25-year uninterrupted rule, they did nothing for the development of Tripura, a state in northeast India. He also claimed they did nothing for the economic success of the state and to remove mass poverty and employment. Mr Singh said: "During CPI-M's 35 years rule in West Bengal, they ruined that state, and if the Left parties after the February 18 assembly polls are allowed to rule Tripura further, they would destroy the future of the state and its people.” He said that he believes the Bharatiya Janata Party can develop the country and specifically the state of Tripura.

"Because people of these states trust BJP and people sincerely believe that only BJP can remove their poverty and provide jobs to the youth."

The video, which has been viewed over 8million times, showed how the fighters were served up burnt flatbread and lentils which the filmmaker claimed were only flavoured with turmeric and salt. It was posted by Tej Bahadur Yadav of the Border Security Force and alleged that the soldiers choose to rather starve, on the bitterly cold frontline of Jammu and Kashmir, instead of eating the poor quality food.

Question: Unseen for weeks, Melania Trump tweets she's 'feeling great'

After nearly three weeks out of sight, Melania Trump tried today to put to rest speculation about her health and even her whereabouts as she continues to recover from medical treatment for a kidney condition. It didn't completely work.
FILE - in this May 7, 2018, file photo, First lady Melania Trump speaks on her initiatives during an event in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington. Source: Associated Press
Mrs. Trump tweeted that she's "feeling great" and is at the White House working hard for children and American families. But she still didn't make a public appearance, leaving some skeptics still wondering about her condition and plenty more.
The first lady's tweet landed while her husband was participating in a White House event that seemed tailor-made for a first lady, as famous athletes joined President Donald Trump and his daughter and senior adviser Ivanka Trump on the South Lawn to promote youth sports and fitness.
"I see the media is working overtime speculating where I am & what I'm doing," Mrs. Trump said on Twitter. "Rest assured, I'm here at the @WhiteHouse w my family, feeling great, & working hard on behalf of children & the American people!"
The first lady's absence from public view has spawned all sorts of wild theories on social media and elsewhere: Has she moved back to Trump Tower in New York City? Is she cooperating with the special counsel's Russia investigation? Is her health in jeopardy? Has she entered the witness protection program? And so on.
Mrs. Trump has not appeared in public since the wee hours of May 10, when she accompanied the president to a military base in Maryland to welcome home three Americans who had been released from detention in North Korea.
Four days later, the White House announced that the 48-year-old first lady had successfully undergone an "embolization" procedure to treat a benign kidney condition, and that there were no complications.
She spent five nights at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in nearby Bethesda, Maryland. Some doctors familiar with the procedure but not involved in her care said people treated with embolisation typically are sent home the same day or the next.
First ladies are under no obligation to make their medical histories public, and the White House has said nothing more about Mrs. Trump's condition.
On Friday, the president tried to assure reporters that his wife was doing fine.
Asked about the first lady's health before he boarded the presidential helicopter on the South Lawn, Trump pointed to the second floor of the White House and said: "She's doing great. Right there. She's doing great. She's looking at us, right there."
Despite Trump's assurances, reporters didn't see any sign of the first lady watching from above.
Mrs. Trump is often viewed as a reluctant first lady, but her lengthy absence from public view comes after what was probably her most high-profile period in the role to date.
In April, she alone represented the administration at the Houston funeral of former first lady Barbara Bush. She joined the president to host the Japanese prime minister for talks at the
Trumps' estate in Florida. That was followed by the French president's three-day state visit to the White House, which included the first state dinner planned under her watch for more than 100 guests.
Mrs. Trump capped it off in early May with a splashy Rose Garden rollout for her "Be Best" campaign to teach kindness to children. Trump watched from the audience.
Her popularity is rising, according to a recent CNN poll that found 57 percent of those surveyed saying they have a favorable impression of her, up from 47 percent in January.
A week after the first lady announced "Be Best," she was in the hospital.
She's been heard from — including tweets about the Texas school shooting, the newest Medal of Honor recipient and Memorial Day — but not seen since.
The first lady's longtime friend, Paolo Zampolli, thinks "she wanted to spend some quality time with her family."
Her spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, said the first lady has been meeting with her staff on the "Be Best" initiative and working on upcoming projects like the annual White House picnic for members of Congress in June and Fourth of July festivities.

Donald Trump's birthday didn't go quite to plan thanks to the shocking shooting of GOP Majority House Whip Steve Scalise on Wednesday morning.
Luckily, he had his family on hand to help pick him up at a special birthday meal hosted by Melania at the White House.
All four of his adult children posted pictures congratulating their dad on his 71st birthday ahead of a celebratory dinner held Wednesday evening.
Ivanka led the charge on Instagram, posting up a picture of herself, husband Jared Kushner, and their kids Arabella and Theodore at the 'lovely' birthday dinner for Donald Trump
Donald Trump Jr said he had a 'great evening' with his family (all pictured left), while Eric Trump's wife Lara (both right) posted a photo of them at the White House
Perhaps interestingly, Tiffany Trump - the president's least-prominent child - was the only one who posed with her father for a photo, or said 'I love you'
Ivanka Trump posted a photo of herself with husband Jared Kushner and kids Arabella and Theodore, all in the White House.
'Great being with family tonight for a lovely birthday dinner hosted by @flotus for @realdonaldtrump,' she wrote.
Meanwhile, sons Donald Jr and Eric had their photos outside the White House.
Donald Jr posed with wife Vanessa, daughter Kai Madison and son Donnie, and said 'Great evening visiting @realdonaldtrump on his birthday with Vanessa, Kai, and Donnie.
'Always amazing to see him in this new capacity and we couldn't be more proud.'
Eric Trump's wife Lana posted up their photo, with the message 'Birthday celebration.'
Perhaps interestingly, Tiffany Trump was the only one of Trump's children to actually have her photo taken with her father - on the same steps as Ivanka and her family.
She also wrote the most enthusiastic of the messages, and was the only one to say she loved her dad: 'Happy Birthday dad @realdonaldtrump. I love you!'
Donald Trump Jr's daughter and son also made an on-Instagram appearance with the president earlier in the day, along with the message 'Happy birthday grandpa. We love you'
Unfortunately, their family reunion was cut short when Trump made a late-evening visit to the hospital where Scalise was in intensive care.
Trump spent about half an hour there, sitting by Scalise's bedside, talking to one of the police officers who took down the gunman and greeting other police who gathered there.
Earlier in the day, they had tried to keep their dad's spirits high with an earlier round of social media messages wishing him will.
Ivanka kicked off the praises, wishing her father a happy birthday bright and early on Wednesday morning alongside a throwback photo of the pair.

Eric and Donald Jr quickly followed suit, each sharing a different photo and message to celebrate their father.
Eric tweeted at around 7am to say: 'Happy Birthday dad! Can't wait to celebrate tonight! @realDonaldTrump #MakeAmericaGreatAgain,' and shared a photo of the father-son pair cutting the ribbon at the Trump Turnberry golf course.
Donald Jr's message varied from his siblings, as he shared a photo of his two children with their grandfather and the message: 'Happy birthday grandpa. We love you. #happybirthday.'
'Happy Birthday to my incredible father @realdonaldtrump. I hope that the year to come is your best yet!' Ivanka wrote alongside a throwback photo of the pair earlier in the day

The First Lady has yet to post anything online about her husband's birthday, but seemed to have big plans in store for the day.
Last week, Melania, who recently moved into the White House with her son Barron, urged 'loyal' friends to sign a birthday card for the President in an email sent out to some of his supporters.
'I need your help to make it a birthday my husband will never forget,' she wrote in the email.
'You have certainly proven yourself to be a loyal friend of my husband through your support of his positive vision to Make America Great Again and your unwavering commitment to the Republican Party,' the her email said.

Friends, I have spent this Monday morning in a black hole. I've only just found the gumption to climb myself out.
It started with this, an old Australian ad for the Atari 2600 and it got worse and weirder from there.
Please join me on this journey. The journey of the weirdest Australian video game commercials I could find on YouTube.
I have a few favourites. The Intellivision ones are hard to beat and SEGA ads have NOT aged well. Also, Commodore 64 ads are Australia's greatest cultural export.
Enjoy

Question: Soccer-Tottenham's Dier refuses to give up on league title

Feb 15 (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur will not give up on the Premier League title race midfielder Eric Dier has said, despite Saturday's loss at Liverpool leaving them 10 points behind table-toppers Chelsea.
"You never know in the Premier League, obviously Chelsea are doing very well and are in a good position but you can never say never," Dier told Sky Sports when asked if the third-placed north-London club's title chase was over.
"We've always maintained we're going to give everything in the competition, so you never know what can happen. It will be a very tough task."
Dier also felt it was important that young midfielder Dele Alli remained with the club, despite his 11 goals in 24 league appearances this season attracting interest from across Europe.
"He's still a very young boy, I think people need to remember that," Dier said. "I think he's at the perfect place because he's got a support system around him and a manager and a group of players that will take care of him.
"You have to worry about young players sometimes in certain places if they can cope with it and will they be looked after as a 20-year-old boy and not just an asset.
"I think he's very well looked after here and hopefully he will be for a long time." (Reporting by Shravanth Vijayakumar in Bengaluru)

Egypt coach Hector Cuper will face a nervous wait over the fitness of the Gunners midfielder after he was taken off injured on Sunday against West Ham
Mohamed Elneny's World Cup hopes suffered a potential blow on Sunday as the Egypt star was forced off injured in Arsenal's Premier League clash with West Ham.
The midfielder appeared to sustain an ankle injury in a challenge with Mark Noble and, after prolonged treatment on the field, he was taken off on a stretcher with his leg in a brace.
Elneny – who has 57 caps for his country – looked in significant discomfort as he was replaced by Ainsley Maitland-Niles at Emirates Stadium.
Of immediate concern for the 25-year-old will be Thursday's Europa League semi-final first leg with Atletico Madrid, but his ambitions to feature in Russia may also take a hit.
Elneny, who signed a new long-term contract in March, was only cleared to play after having his red card against Southampton overturned.

Spending your own money on health care might mean that you'll be more frugal with it. That's the theory behind health savings accounts, a decades-old GOP concept that's sparking renewed interest on Capitol Hill as Republican lawmakers look for ways to replace the Affordable Care Act.
HSAs are like personal savings accounts — with a difference. As with a retirement account, money put into an HSA can be invested, and any growth in the fund accumulates tax-free. Withdrawals can be made at any time, and they are tax-free, too — but the money can only be used to pay for certain medical expenses, such as health insurance deductibles, or for copays for hospital care or a visit to the doctor.
Currently, HSAs are only available to people who have high-deductible health plans, meaning they usually pay a few thousand dollars for medical care each year before their insurance kicks in to pay its share. While HSA participation is growing, only about 20 million people out of the 176 million who have health insurance participate in these savings accounts, according to a 2015 report by the Association of Health Insurance Plans.
Why don't more people who are eligible for HSAs have them? For one thing, not everyone has money to contribute upfront. But psychologists and behavioral economists point out that even many people who have the extra cash on hand confront big psychological barriers to saving.
"How we think and feel is directly tied to our ability to make 'good' financial decisions," says Alycia DeGraff, a board member and secretary of the Financial Therapy Association. DeGraff says when faced with financial decisions about the future, many people simply get stressed-out.
"These stressors can become so overwhelming that ... we can become debilitated and ignore the situation all together," she says. "Or we can practice any kind of defense mechanism — entitlement, suppression, overcompensation, isolation, etc. — to try and deal with [it]."
This may explain, at least in part, why middle-class Americans are pretty bad at saving money in general. Only about half of us have money in any sort of retirement account. And those of us who are parents have only saved, on average, enough to pay for about one year at an in-state college for our kids.
Saving money is hard. It means setting aside what we want now for something we think we'll want or need later. And we live in a culture that offers a lot of pretty, shiny, things to buy RIGHT NOW.
Plus, we all pretend we won't get old or sick.
"People are predictably irrational," says Dr. Mitesh Patel, especially when it comes to money. He's a behavioral economist, physician and assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine.
But many of us really hate to lose money, Patel says, which is what makes the concept of HSAs is so appealing.
For example he and his colleagues published a study last year in the Annals of Internal Medicine on what motivates people to lose weight, and found that the way a financial incentive was framed made all the difference.
The researchers observed three groups of people for 13 weeks. They told one group to walk 7,000 steps a day. About 30 percent of the group did so. Meanwhile, people assigned to the second group were told they'd be paid $1.40 every day they walked 7,000 steps. About 35 percent of the second group did so.
Here's the kicker: Each person in the third group was paid $42 upfront and was docked $1.40 each time they failed to meet their goal. Forty-five percent of that group met the assigned goal, Patel says. People hate to lose money.
Another way to encourage more saving might be to make HSAs operate more like the 401(k)s that required people who didn't want to participate to actively opt out of the plan — rather than requiring people who want to contribute to opt in. "This creates a path of least resistance," Patel says.
Of course, setting up and overseeing such a plan would likely cost the government some money, he notes.
People with HSAs do use less health care than those without such plans, a recent study from the Employee Benefits Research Institute suggests. But it's unclear whether they actually improve their health. Prescription drug costs went down for people enrolled in HSAs in the EBRI study, but emergency room visits went up — particularly for lower-income families.
Then there's the issue of figuring out how much you, as an individual or a family, would need to save for health care — it's not easy to find out the average price for a medical test or procedure in your town, let alone how much that price varies from doctor to doctor or hospital to hospital.
"If you want to save for a house, you can pretty much figure out the math," Patel says. "But if you go to a doctor, they don't give you a menu for prices."
To really increase their health savings — or any savings — we'd all need to change our mindset, says Degraff, the financial therapist.
"People would have to first take a dose of reality and get real about their future selves," she says. Naturally, we thing our future selves will be "better, healthier, more financially secure," she adds. But, for many of us, health and income eventually decline with age. We need to save more now for later.
HSAs can be useful, Degraff notes, but only for those who have enough cash to pay their day-to-day expenses — plus a little left over.
"A lot of people don't even have a regular emergency fund savings," DeGraff says, "especially those that are already struggling to pay for health insurance."

Question: Yeti Snubs NRA, Competitor Had Simple Answer

A cooler company popular among sportsmen abruptly severed its ties with the National Rifle Association, according to a recent statement posted by the lobbying group’s Institute for Legislative Action.
Marion Hammer, the executive director of Unified Sportsmen of Florida, wrote an advisory explaining that Yeti announced without explanation it will no longer sponsor Friends of NRA Foundation Banquets and other events.
Hammer, who previously served as NRA president, wrote that these functions “raise money to support youth programs and educational programs nationwide.”
He used the public statement to denounce the manner in which Yeti delivered the news.
‘”They will only say they will no longer sell products to The NRA Foundation,” he wrote. “That certainly isn’t sportsmanlike.”
Hammer went on to assert that the company “should be ashamed” for making the decision to divest from an organization that has continued to shed corporate support across multiple industries in the wake of a deadly school shooting in Florida earlier this year.
“They have declined to continue helping America’s young people enjoy outdoor recreational activities,” Hammer wrote. “These activities enable them to appreciate America and enjoy our natural resources with wholesome and healthy outdoor recreational and educational programs.”
Where one company saw a demand to cut ties with the NRA, another saw an opportunity to reach out to new customers.
By posting a Facebook image of the Second Amendment’s text, RTIC Coolers sparked its own conversation on the issue.
Within two days, the post had been shared nearly 75,000 times. Many of the thousands of responses offered words of support for the company’s post.

“The fact that Rtic posted this will ensure my purchases from them in the future,” one user wrote. “I respect the fact that they have not yet folded to liberal pressure.”
Another said he recently “liked” the company’s Facebook page, but is now more likely to be an actual customer.

“I probably wasn’t going to buy anything,” he wrote. “However now that I know what side of the fence you stand on, I guarantee you that I will be making a purchase in the near future from you.”
Others identified a potential profit motive in the post’s timing.
“The NRA posted earlier that the ‘Y’ Company is no longer a sponsor,” a Facebook user wrote in response to a previous comment. “I think that is why RTIC posted this today to show they are available LOL.”
As for Yeti, a number of previous customers have expressed support for a boycott. As WCMH reported, one South Carolina man staged a dramatic statement of his displeasure.
Bryan Atkinson of Hartsville reportedly packed his Yeti cooler with explosives and detonated it in a field.
“Yeti can’t stand behind the NRA, I ain’t standing behind Yeti no more,” he said in a video of the explosion. “Y’all get ready. It’s going down.”

Question: Kim Kardashian West goes to the White House to talk pardon

"I've been in communication with the White House and trying to bring her case to the president's desk and figure out how we can get her out," she said of Johnson, who has spent over two decades behind bars. Kushner oversees the administration's push to overhaul the nation's prison system and help former inmates gain skills and more effectively make the transition back into society. It's unclear whether Kardashian West was meeting with Trump during the visit, though the president often invites visitors to the White House complex into the Oval Office for informal meetings and photo ops. She told Mic that if she had the chance to meet the president, she'd tell him, "I really do believe that she's going to really thrive outside of prison, and I would just urge him to please pardon her."
Trump last week granted a rare posthumous pardon to boxing's first African-American heavyweight champion, clearing Jack Johnson's name more than 100 years after what many saw as his racially-charged conviction. Kim Kardashian attends a gala in New York. Photo: AP The boxer's pardon had been championed by actor Sylvester Stallone, who brought the story to Trump's attention in a phone call. Trump has issued just a handful of other pardons, including one for former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a staunch campaign supporter; one for Scooter Libby, who served as chief of staff to former Vice President Dick Cheney; and one for a US Navy sailor convicted for taking photos of classified portions of a submarine. Kardashian West supported Trump's rival, Democrat Hillary Clinton, during the 2016 election. But her husband, rapper Kanye West, recently offered his support for Trump in a series of tweets, saying they both share "dragon energy."
West also paid a visit to the then-president-elect in New York before his inauguration. Trump said they talked about "life" as they posed for photos in the lobby of Trump Tower. West has said he didn't vote for president, but if he had, he would have cast a ballot for Trump. A boxing belt presented to President Donald Trump, sits on the desk in Oval Office of the White House in Washington. Photo: AP The White House declined to comment on the visit. Trump has talked about the need to get tougher on drug dealers, including suggesting that some should receive the death penalty. Kardashian West appeared to preview the visit on her Twitter feed, writing: "Happy Birthday Alice Marie Johnson. Today is for you." Johnson was convicted in 1996 on eight criminal counts related to a Memphis- based cocaine trafficking operation involving more than a dozen people. The 1994 indictment describes dozens of deliveries and drug transactions, many involving Johnson. She was sentenced to life in prison in 1997, and appellate judges and the US Supreme Court have rejected her appeals. Court records show she has a motion pending for a reduction in sentence, but federal prosecutors are opposed to a sentence reduction, saying in a court filing that the sentence is in accord with federal guidelines, based on the large quantity of drugs involved. The US Attorney's Office in Memphis did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday afternoon.
A criminal justice advocacy site, CAN-DO, and one of Johnson's attorneys say a request for clemency was rejected by former President Barack Obama. The reasons are unclear. A 1997 Associated Press story on Johnson's sentencing said she lead a multimillion-dollar drug ring. But Memphis attorney Michael Scholl, who filed the latest court documents in her request for a sentence reduction, said she was not a leader in the cocaine operation. "What is the purpose of putting a lady with no prior criminal record, on a nonviolent drug offense, in jail for her entire life?" he said in a telephone interview. "She's a model inmate." Scholl added that Johnson has admitted her wrongdoing, which is borne out in letters she has written to US District Judge Samuel H. Mays, who now oversees her case. "Judge Mays I'm writing to you to express my deep remorse for the crime that I committed over 20 years ago. I made some bad choices which have not only affected my life, but have impacted my entire family," she said in a February 2017 letter in the court record.
In a hand-scrawled letter last June she wrote: "I'm a broken woman. More time in prison cannot accomplish more justice." AP

Are the Kardashians taking on D.C. next?! Kourtney Kardashian arrived at the nation’s capital for a meeting with Congress on April 22 — but don’t expect her to take a job in the White House or anything! Here’s what’s up.
No, Kourtney Kardashian is not making a career move into politics! However, she is in Washington D.C. this week for a cause close to her heart. The 39-year-old reportedly has a meeting with Congress on April 24, where she’ll push for laws regarding cosmetic and personal care products to be reformed, according to TMZ. Kourt has made no secret of her environmentally-friendly lifestyle, and TMZ reports that she’s working with the Environmental Working Group on getting these regulations put in place. The mom of three’s trip to the capital will reportedly be filmed by Keeping Up With The Kardashians cameras.
This meeting comes on the same day that Kourtney’s makeup collaboration with Kylie Jenner is being released, following days of social media campaigning from both sisters. Kylie previously collaborated with Kim and Khloe Kardashian on collections for her makeup line, so it only made sense for Kourtney to be the next in line. Perhaps working on this collection is what helped push Kourtney to become so passionate about creating healthy and safe products!?
Kourtney recently celebrated her 39th birthday, and she kicked off her 40th year in quite an epic way! First, her boyfriend, Younes Bendjima, surprised her with a romantic, overnight airstream trip. Then, she was joined by her closest girlfriends for a fairly intimate bash, where they documented themselves dancing, singing and eating cake on social media.
Earlier this month, Kourtney joined Kim for a trip to Turks and Caicos, which was cut short when they rushed to Cleveland to be with Khloe for the birth of her first child. She also attended the first weekend of Coachella with Kylie. Things do not seem to be slowing down for this hot mama anytime soon!

City administrators on Sunday suspended a ceremony to unveil a memorial to soldiers killed during the Battle of Monte Cassino due to public outrage.
The memorial was to have the following words engraved in Italian, English and German: "In memory and recognition of the soldiers of all nations who fell in the bloody Battle of Cassino and all the civilian victims of the terrible war."
Historians estimate that 20,000 German soldiers were killed in the battle, while Allied powers lost more than 50,000 lives.

Days before the unveiling set for Sunday, the National Association of Italian Partisans (ANPI), an association founded in 1944 by members of the Italian resistance, called it disgraceful that the town of Monte Cassino would erect such a memorial.
"In all likelihood, [the memorial] equates the fighters for the liberation of Italy from occupation and slavery to Hitler's totalitarian atrocities with those who committed those atrocities to the detriment of Italians," said ANPI in a statement published on Facebook.
A mock-up of the memorial is shown in a screenshot from the Facebook page of the Battle of Cassino Association
'No intention of honoring murderers'
However, the Battle of Cassino Association's research center said critics had spread "disinformation" about the memorial, which was to be erected on a tourist trail that tells the story of the battle.
"This initiative has no intention of honoring murderers," the research center said. "I think that historical memory transmits, communicates and solicits dialogue, and memory is the basis for a reconciliation of the peoples who suffered and those that caused immense tragedy."

Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini led Italy into World War II as an ally of Nazi Germany in 1940. He was later deposed during the allied invasion of Italy in 1943 and executed in 1945.
German General Hans-Werner Fritz, who heads the German confederation of paratroopers, had been expected to attend the ceremony before it was cancelled.
