Question: Commuters often exposed to damaging noise levels

represent this text to find a news title for it

(Reuters Health) - Loud noise exceeding levels that can damage hearing is regularly encountered by commuters using buses, subways and even biking, a Canadian study suggests.
“The effects of noise on our hearing health and overall health has been garnering a lot of recent attention and our team recently commented that commuting in the city, in general, seems to be quite noisy, so we decided to take our noise dosimeters on common commuting routes to see exactly how loud things got,” senior study author Dr. Vincent Lin told Reuters Health by email.
“Those short bursts of sudden noise, if exposed to repeatedly and over a long period of time, may lead to permanent hearing loss,” said Lin, a researcher with the University of Toronto and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.
Although average noise levels measured on commutes around Toronto were within the recommended levels of safe exposure most of the time, bursts of loud noise on both public and private modes of transportation could still place individuals at risk of noise-induced hearing loss, Lin’s team writes in the Journal of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery.
The World Health Organization estimates that more than 360 million people live with disabling hearing loss and about 16 percent of that damage is the result of noise-induced hearing loss, the authors note.
Many standards for safe noise exposure have been established, Lin said. The WHO/EPA recommends no more than 15 minutes if the sound is louder than 90 decibels (dB). For sounds around 75 dB, then up to eight hours of exposure is acceptable.
To measure noise exposure for users of the Toronto transit system, the researchers used small devices called noise dosimeters attached to their shirt collars, about 2 inches (5.08 cm) away from their ears. The devices measure sound levels in so-called A-weighted decibels (dBA), reflecting the actual sound level “weighted” to account for the human ear’s sensitivity to different frequencies.
The study team collected measurements between April and August 2016, inside vehicles and outside or on boarding platforms, for several forms of private and public transportation - subways, buses, streetcars, private automobiles and biking or walking.
They found that average noise level was greater inside subway cars, at about 77 dBA and buses, at about 80 dBA, than inside the streetcar, where it was about 72 dBA. Average noise levels in waiting and boarding areas were higher still, at about 81 dBA for the subway platform and 80 dBA for buses and streetcars.
When the researchers examined how the loudest, or “peak,” noises compared to the EPA thresholds for safe exposure, they found that about 20 percent of the peak noises measured on the subway were greater than the EPA limit of 114 dBA for 4 seconds, and 20 percent of the loudest noises inside streetcars were greater than the EPA limit of 120 dBA for 1 second.
About 85 percent of peak noise measurements taken from bus platforms were greater than 114 dBA, and over half were greater than 120 dBA. All peak noise exposures while riding a bike exceeded 117 dBA, the EPA limit for 2 seconds of exposure, and 85 percent were greater than 120 dBA.
When the authors estimated exposure for an average Toronto commuter who uses public transportation for about 47 minutes, they calculated that 9 percent of the subway noise exposure, 12 percent of bus exposure and 14 percent of biking exposure exceed recommended thresholds.
“I like the study because it points out that we are living in a noisy environment and that constant exposure to high sound levels occurs and has the potential to accumulate and finally lead to damage of the ear and subsequent hearing loss,” said Dr. Claus-Peter Richter, an otolaryngologist at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago who wasn’t involved in the study.
Richter suggests having earplugs handy. “Better earplugs run on the order of 12 dollars and should be always either in your ears if it is loud or in your pocket in a case,” he said by email.
“Personally, I wear hearing protection in the movies because of loud peak sound levels. Earplugs reduce your sound levels by about 20 dB and put you in a safe position,” he said.

We can’t often see it, but air pollution is a killer — in fact, it’s now the biggest cause of early death in the UK after smoking.
Leading doctors are warning that tiny pollutants in the air — many of them from vehicle emissions — are responsible for 40,000 deaths in Britain every year.
More than 85 per cent of the country is exposed to illegal levels of air pollution over the course of a year, according to official figures. And the Government is being forced to take action, with a High Court judge giving it until next Monday to come up with an enhanced plan for improving air quality.

But it’s not just outdoor pollution that’s a problem — indoor sources of pollution, such as wood-burning stoves and gas cookers, could also be claiming many lives, according to a report last year by the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.
Air pollution has been linked to a wide range of health problems. Exposure to high levels over many years can raise the risk of heart disease, stroke, lung conditions such as asthma, various cancers, and possibly dementia. Meanwhile, earlier this month, a U.S. study warned that women living in heavily polluted areas have a higher chance of developing breast cancer.
And it’s tiny particles 30 times smaller than a human hair that are thought to be wreaking the most damage. Known as PM 2.5, these are microscopic bits of carbon and other materials emitted from sources such as vehicles, fires and heavy industry.
‘Any exposure to particulate matter is damaging to health,’ says expert Dr Ben Barratt, a senior lecturer in air quality at King’s College London.
‘Particles in the PM 2.5 range are particularly dangerous because they are small enough to lodge deep inside the lungs. Some can even enter the bloodstream and travel to the heart and brain.’

While children, the elderly and those with existing disease are the most vulnerable, even healthy people are at risk.
Experts warn that over time, high levels of pollution can cause our airways and blood vessels to become slowly damaged.
‘In the short term, healthy people will not see any effects,’ says Dr Barratt. ‘But in the long term, if you are continually exposed to high levels of pollution, it increases the risk of disease later in life.’
Despite this, most of us have no idea about the quality of air we’re breathing in — or how we can protect ourselves.
To investigate, Good Health, working with King’s College London, gave five people in different parts of the country air pollution monitors to record their exposure throughout the day.
The monitors specifically detected levels of black carbon — one of the key forms of PM 2.5 particles. Its main source in the UK is exhaust emissions from diesel vehicles and domestic fires. As a guide, the World Health Organisation recommends our exposure to PM 2.5 should average out at no higher than 10 micrograms per cubic metre of air over a year; the EU’s upper limit is 25, but there is no safe level of exposure.
The average level of black carbon measured in London over the day our volunteers were tested was 5 micrograms per cubic metre of air.
Interior designer Claire Hall, 51, was exposed to by far the highest levels of pollution in this study. Dirty air can linger in a car — whereas walkers and cyclists, who are not in a confined space, have a constant source of fresher air around them.
THE SCHOOL RUN MUM
Claire Hall, 51, is an interior designer from Notting Hill in West London. Married with three children, she drives several times a day — including taking her children to school.
HIGHEST READING: 118 driving, 8am.
LOWEST READING: 1.1 walking dog in park, 3pm.
AVERAGE READING OVER DAY: 3.3
Claire was exposed to by far the highest levels of pollution in this study. At one point during the hour-long morning school run, which takes her on a busy dual carriageway, her readings peaked briefly at 118 — nearly five times the safe limit set by the EU for PM 2.5 exposure, and 11 times the limit set by the World Health Organisation.
At other times during the journey they were still very high, often in the 30 to 40 region, and she also had the highest recorded reading for a sustained period — it remained at 12 for 20 minutes during the school run in West London.
‘This is double the average recorded on the streets of London outside that day,’ says Dr Barratt.
Contrary to what you might think, being tucked away in a car can actually expose you to more pollution than when cycling or walking on a busy road.
‘Travelling in a car is like being trapped in a pollution box,’ says Dr Barratt. ‘When you are sitting in traffic anywhere — not just in London — you’re likely to be sitting right behind the exhaust of the vehicle in front of you.
‘The inlet for your air vent is right next to that belching exhaust pipe — and the fumes from other cars are literally being sucked into yours.
‘The main concern is children, because their lungs are still growing. Given that smoking in cars has recently been banned, air pollution is something to be aware of.’
Diesel particles are particularly bad as they contain very high volumes of PM 2.5, and an open window or air vents will only make things worse.
This dirty air can then linger in a car — whereas walkers and cyclists, who are not in a confined space, have a constant source of fresher air around them.
It’s not just the high volume of cars on the road that’s a cause for concern.
Stop-start driving — for example when driving over a speed bump or at traffic lights — has been shown almost to double the amount of harmful gases that cars pump out.
Dr Barratt advises avoiding driving wherever possible. If it’s unavoidable, use air re-circulating options (close air vents and let the air in the car recirculate) when stuck in traffic to avoid excessive amounts of exhaust fumes coming into the car, keep windows closed and choose less congested routes.
‘When I drive, which isn’t very often, I close the air vent when in a traffic queue and turn the engine off,’ he adds.
Claire says: ‘That reading on the way to school has shocked me. By London standards, the traffic is light on this journey. Thankfully, I don’t drive the children every day — it’s meant to be a “treat” twice a week, but it’s something I feel I should give up now.’
Lawyer Tim Ross, 55, is exposed to lower pollution levels as he cycles 20 miles to work and back, instead of getting the Tube or driving to work. He doesn't wear a face mask, which only offers limited protection
THE CITY CYCLIST
Tim Ross, 55, is a lawyer who lives in East London. He cycles 20 miles to work and back every day — a journey that takes 45 minutes each way, through Central London.
HIGHEST READING: 21 cycling home from work in rush hour, 5.15pm.
LOWEST READING: 0.4 at office.
AVERAGE READING OVER DAY: 1.0
Despite a peak of 21 for a few minutes, Tim was exposed to an average of just 3.5 during the time he spent cycling.
‘Tim is definitely better off cycling than driving or getting the Tube to work,’ says Dr Barratt.
Research has found high levels of PM 2.5 at platforms in London Underground stations, ranging from 270-480, though whether these particles are more harmful than those from car exhausts is still unclear.
‘Tim’s data shows peaks and troughs — it’s higher where he stops at busy junctions and is exposed to car exhaust emissions — but he was exposed to nothing like the levels Claire was in her car at the same time of day.’
Tim does not wear a face mask while cycling. ‘These offer only limited protection, however, because the tiny pollution particles can still get in around the side,’ says Dr Barratt.
Tim says: ‘I’m really pleased that my pollution exposure was lower than if I was driving or taking the Tube to work.
‘I cycle to keep fit and this is an added bonus to something I already enjoy.
‘Now there are dedicated cycle lanes, it means I’m not in the thick of the traffic any more.’
Financial website entrepeneur Lindsay Cook, 65, has a wood-burning stove in her house that was built nine years ago
THE OWNER OF A WOOD-BURNER
Lindsay Cook, 65, is a financial website entrepreneur. She lives in Haywards Heath, West Sussex, with her husband — and has a wood-burning stove in her house that was built nine years ago.
HIGHEST READING: 15 lighting the wood-burning stove, 5.45pm.
LOWEST READING: 0.1 at home working.
AVERAGE READING OVER DAY: 1.8
Wood-burning stoves are fast becoming a must-have household item — more than a million British homes now have one.
But they are ‘very concerning’, says Dr Barratt, as they pollute inside the house and blast smoke into the air outside. In fact, domestic wood-burning is now the UK’s single largest source of PM 2.5 emissions — creating 2.4 times more than all traffic emissions.
Wood-burning releases emissions when the stove door is open, and particulates can even ‘leak’ out from around a closed door.
‘It’s particularly problematic in urban areas where there are more people around, as wood-burners emit a lot of black carbon into the atmosphere, which we then breathe in,’ says Dr Barratt.
Lindsay’s results were surprising, however. ‘I have never seen such a low reading for someone using a wood-burning stove — usually I’d expect a reading of around 40,’ says Dr Barratt.
‘There is a surge in the level of black carbon when she lights the fire — but when the door is closed, and for the rest of the evening, it’s only 0.8, ten times less than when she walked down a busy road to the shops.’
Her low readings are thought to be because she has a good ventilation system in her house — there is a vent in the ceiling of each room to help prevent damp.
‘This has clearly made a vast difference,’ says Dr Barratt.
Older, dirtier wood-burners are likely to be more polluting than newer models. Using properly dried wood cuts down on smoke, adds Dr Barratt. ‘But your neighbours will still be exposed to the emissions that come out of your chimney.’
And open fires are even worse than popular wood-burners for air pollution.
Lindsay says: ‘My husband and I designed and built this house ourselves and we put a lot of measures in place to keep it well ventilated. It’s a relief to see that they have worked.’
Conveyancer Richard Barnes, 46, was cooking fajitas when his readings peaked, as frying on a gas hob produces a lot of black carbon
THE TRAIN COMMUTER
Richard Barnes, 46, is a conveyancer from Droylsden, Manchester. He travels into to the city centre for work by tram, and also lives on a very busy road.
HIGHEST READING: 15 while cooking, 6.15pm. LOWEST READING: 0.1 at his girlfriend’s house in rural Cheshire, 9am.
AVERAGE READING OVER DAY: 4
On the day of the experiment, Richard headed into the city by train from his girlfriend’s house in the Cheshire countryside, before returning home to Droylsden later in the day. ‘As you would expect, the nearer Richard got to Manchester city centre on the train, the more his pollution levels rose — they peaked at 5 and were four times higher than they were at the start of the journey,’ says Dr Barratt.
‘The level of diesel you will be exposed to on a train depends where you sit, because exhaust fumes can come into the cabin,’ adds Dr Barratt.
‘If I get a train, I sit in front of the exhaust, if possible, as the air is clearer of the blowback of emissions.
‘I know if I sit in certain carriages I can smell diesel fumes, so I move carriages until I can’t.’
Richard’s readings peaked briefly at 15 while he cooked fajitas, as frying on a gas hob produces a lot of black carbon. More concerning, however, was that during the evening his readings remained steadily in the 4 to 6 region while he sat for three hours in the living room, which faces a busy road.
Richard says: ‘I know the road is busy, but I didn’t realise how much it would affect the inside of my house, or potentially my health. I’m really shocked.
‘My bedroom also faces on to that road, so I’ll think twice about having the window open in summer now.’
Full-time mother Libby Hobbs, 36, from Cardiff, said: ‘My husband and I wanted to live in a quieter area with more open space and less traffic after our sons arrived. So it’s reassuring to learn they’re not being exposed to high levels of pollution'
THE HOME COOK
Full-time mother Libby Hobbs, 36, lives in a suburb of Cardiff with her husband and two sons, aged one and four.
HIGHEST READING: 9 cooking, 5.30pm.
LOWEST READING: 0.1 walking to shops, 9.30am.
AVERAGE READING OVER DAY: 1.0
‘Libby is a good example of someone who lives in a fairly quiet part of a large city who is not exposed to much pollution — a good thing particularly as she has two young children,’ says Dr Barratt.
‘The readings say it all — Libby’s level was just 4 while walking her sons to playgroup through the park. At the same time in London, Claire was exposed to up to 118 in her car.’
Libby’s highest reading occurred while cooking a roast dinner in her gas oven — and it would have been higher had the kitchen window not been open.
‘Black carbon will be produced if anything is burned, and gas cooking causes other types of pollution, too, notably nitrogen dioxide,’ says Dr Barratt.
Using a gas hob is even more polluting that an oven, and the worst offender is grilling bacon — because the fat spits into the flame and burns.
‘If you’ve got an extractor fan, use it while cooking, or ensure the area is ventilated by opening a window or back door,’ says Dr Barratt.
Libby says: ‘My husband and I wanted to live in a quieter area with more open space and less traffic after our sons arrived. So it’s reassuring to learn they’re not being exposed to high levels of pollution, hopefully giving them a good start in terms of their health.
‘But I didn’t know that about cooking, so I’ll make sure I always open the window now.’

MANHEIM TOWNSHIP, LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. -- Organizers of a Lancaster County country music festival are taking a few extra precautions this weekend.
This comes nearly a week after a gunman shot and killed 59 people and wounded more than 500 at a country music festival in las vegas on sunday night.
I-105 Turkey Hill FallFest festival-goers will head out on sunday to see people like country superstar Trace Adkins perform, but they'll also see a team of police officers who'll have their eyes on keeping people safe.
The stage is set for FallFest 2017, but in light of recent events, organizers hope festival-goers keep their minds and ears on the music.
WIOV I-105 radio program director Rich Creeger said "music is something I think puts us all in a good mood, and allows us to smile. I think that coming out this weekend is going to give you that community sense."
Creeger also wants to ensure a sense of safety.
One week before country music lovers gather for the event in Manheim Township on Sunday, a gunman opened fire on a country music crowd attending the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas.
"Terrorism is meant to scare you. I understand that people might have a little bit of fear, but let me just alleviate that by saying that the Mannheim Township Police Department has always done a fantastic job. There's is a plan in place. We will have private security out there as well," Creeger said.
Manheim Township's police chief tells us that FallFest has always been a safe event, a fun event, and his officers plan to keep it that way.
"We've had a security plan in place for the last ten years, as long as i've been involved with this event. This year, obviously we're going to increase security a little bit, there will be some stuff that people will see, and there's going to be some stuff that people aren't going to see," Creeger said.
While Lancaster County is thousands of miles away from Las Vegas, remembering the 59 lives lost there may be held close to the hearts of those who come together to hear the music.
"We will have a moment of silence, I think for the victims and their families, before the show starts, and then i think we're all going to let it go and have ourselves a great time," Creeger said.
"It's going to be a secure event. I think the music will lift your spirit, and being part of this community is going to lift your spirit, and we're looking forward to a great day," Creeger added.
Coolers larger than 12" by 12" by 6" are not allowed this year.
Anyone planning to go should expect delays getting in, and should allow for some extra time to get through security.

There's trouble in Trumpland.
The voters who backed Donald Trump still like the disruption but are looking for more function from the outsider they helped put in the White House, members of the USA TODAY Network Trump Voter Panel say.
While they still approve of the job President Trump is doing, the collapse of the GOP's promise to repeal the Affordable Care Act has rattled some of his loyalists. So have chaos in the White House staff and the public humiliation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
"All the bickering, fighting and firings take time away from solving all of our problems," worried Joe Canino, 62, of Hebron, Ct.
"The caveat or the pause there is, he's got to figure out a way to get more done collaboratively with Capitol Hill," Barney Carter of St. Marys, Ga., said. "The Hill to me has the most to blame for it, but he's got to figure out a way to solve that problem."
The loyalty of the president's base — voters who tend to be older, socially conservative and mostly white — has been a critical source of his political strength. Trump continues to hammer messages that appeal to them on such issues as limiting immigration and reversing Pentagon policy on transgender troops.
That said, the spiderweb of concern among his supporters in these interviews is an anecdotal finding consistent with the results of recent nationwide polls. A CNN survey at the six-month mark of Trump's presidency last week showed his approval rating among Republicans at a healthy 83%, but the percentage of Republicans who "strongly approve" had dropped by double-digits, to 59% from 73% in February.
None of the 25 voters on the USA TODAY panel express regret for casting a ballot last November for Trump instead of Democrat Hillary Clinton or someone else. They generally trust him to handle the crisis with North Korea, although there is concern about his bellicose rhetoric.
But now some couch their approval of the president with a hedge that wasn't there in three previous rounds of interviews with this group. And their disdain for congressional Republicans and the GOP establishment is rising, a troubling development for the party as it heads into the 2018 midterm elections.
"I approve, but not 100%," Monty Chandler, 46, a disabled veteran from Church Point, La., said of the president.
"I'd have to approve, but with some laughter in the background," said Duane Gray, 63, a truck driver from Boise, Idaho. Asked if Trump was doing better or worse than he expected as president, he said: "I don't know what I expected. I just didn't want Hillary in there."
There's also bit less confidence these days about how history will judge Trump. In January, 21 members of the panel predicted he ultimately would be seen as a "great" or "good" president. In February, there was even more unanimity: 23 gave that positive assessment.
Now that number has slipped to 19 — still favorable territory, but with signs of some erosion. Four predict he'll be seen as a "fair" president. Two didn't respond.

No regrets: 100% approval at 100 days from these Trump voters
The panel of 25 Trump voters from 19 states is drawn from respondents in the USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll taken in December, just after the election. The group of 18 men and seven women, ranging in age from 31 to 88, agreed to weigh in occasionally for a look at how Trump is faring with his supporters.
'Embarrassing and disgusting'
The GOP's failure to repeal the Affordable Care Act has enraged some of these voters.
"Killing Obamacare was a key component of the Republican platform, and I believe all Republican senators campaigned on that very issue," Daniel Kohn, of Corpus Christi, Tex., said. "The inability to move forward is embarrassing and disgusting."
For Ken Cornacchione, a 65-year-old financial consultant from Venice, Fla., the issue is personal. "My premiums have doubled and my deductible has increased nearly three times under Obamacare with no claims by either my wife or me," he said.
Asked whom they blame for the failure, not one singled out Trump, although several volunteered that everyone involved owned some responsibility. Only a handful cited congressional Democrats or the news media, frequent targets of Trump.
Instead, a solid majority placed the responsibility squarely on congressional Republicans.
"There's some blame to go around with everybody, but I continue to be the most disappointed in Congress," said Carter, 50, who works for a medical device firm. "We could have had a plan for this long before Trump was elected, and you would have just had to go to the bookshelf and pull the binder off."
"Seven years: Think about it," railed JoAnne Musial, 65, of Canadenis, Penn. "Who are they kidding, too? This whole baloney with all of them any more makes me sick to my stomach."
That sentiment helps explain Trump's Twitter blasts last week at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. The attacks may complicate White House efforts down the road to work with the Kentucky Republican on raising the debt ceiling, funding the government and passing a tax bill.
At the moment, though, they reinforce the sentiment that Republican senators, not the president, are to blame for the stunning setback on health care.
"They've been talking about this for seven years, show-boating for seven years passing resolutions they knew (President Barack) Obama would veto," said Rick Dammer, 45, a an IT project manager from Zephyrhills, Fla. "When the rubber needed to hit the road, they chickened out."
"I like that Trump said that," Chandler said of the president's comments welcoming Obamacare's demise. "He's not going to sugarcoat it. You made your bed, now lie in it."
North Korea showdown
On North Korea, Trump voters — like policymakers and experts and nearly everyone else around the globe — see no easy answers and worry about what's ahead. They are inclined to trust Trump to handle it, albeit not without some nervousness.
"I'm in agreement with how Trump's approached it, kind of," said Francis Smazal, 54, a registered nurse from Marshfield, Wis. "If this guy (in North Korea) is left unchecked, I believe conflict is inevitable."
Several said they hope Trump tries to build an international coalition through the United Nations, or with China and Russia. "I think we need to go through China," said Patricia Shomion, 67, of Mount Gilead, Ohio. She blames Beijing, North Korea's neighbor and ally, for not doing more to block its nuclear program. "That's our solution, because all of those nukes and missiles have 'China' written all over them, 'Made in China.'"
But Pat Jolliff, 60, of Rochester, Ind., worried that Trump's threat of "fire and fury" risked making a bad situation worse. "I think his words, once again, are some of his worst enemies," she said. "He comes across as a bully, a tyrant, somebody who always has to have his way."
The belief that Trump isn't just another politician, that he has a combative style and is comfortable breaking old norms, is his fundamental appeal for many of his supporters. "Everyone's having a hissy (fit) because a politician isn't the president," scoffed Musial. "Cut and dried: He's not a politician and doesn't fit in (your) little clique here, so they're trying to cause a ruckus for him."
"Trump is a different kind of person; he's not a politician," Shomion agreed. "They're not used to that. They don't know what to do with him."
But the continuing soap-opera drama on the White House staff is worrisome to some: Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, out. Press secretary Sean Spicer, out. ("A sweetheart," Musial said affectionately.) Communications director Anthony Scaramucci: In, then out after 11 days. ("He was horrible," Jolliff said.)
"I am somewhat concerned with all the tension," said Wayne Moore, 60, a procurement manager from Henderson, Ky. "It looks like there are more chiefs than Indians."
Several volunteered dismay over Trump's public humiliation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
"I was very disappointed in the way he ripped up Jeff Sessions, who was basically the first one to sign up" to support Trump's candidacy, Carter said. "He's a long-tenured, respected lawmaker, and it just didn't make sense to me."

David McDonough, 55, a plumber from Brownsburg, Ind., predicted things eventually would settle down. "It's like taking over a new business and some employees don't like the way you run things," he said. "In time, once the kinks are worked out and the leakers are found, I believe the White House will run smooth."
Then there are those tweets.
Some supporters say the president's thoughts in 140-character bursts make them wince. "He comes out looking like a damn fool 60% of the time," Gray said.
But by more than 2-1, his loyalists say he should continue posting on Twitter — and acknowledge that he's not likely to stop, no matter what they think.
"I don't necessarily agree on what he's saying, but if Twitter is the only way to get the truth out and the truth only comes from him, then that's OK," Steven Spence, 70, of Mesa, Arizona, said. "He either lives or dies by the sword, and we'll find out four years from now how the American public rates him."

A 92-YEAR-OLD US woman shot her son dead because he planned to put her in a nursing home when she became "difficult to live with", reports said.
Anna Mae Blessing reportedly told her 72-year-old son, "You took my life, so I'm taking yours" moments after she gunned him down at their Arizona home.
Blessing, who has been charged with murder, reportedly told police she'd intended to take her own life, too.
The elderly woman was in a wheelchair at her initial court appearance on Tuesday where her bail was set at $US500,000 ($680,000) and a lawyer was being appointed to represent her.
Arizona police said Blessing's 72-year-old son was found dead on Monday at his home in Fountain Hills, located about 50 kilometres northeast of Phoenix.
The man's name wasn't immediately released.
Blessing had been living with her son and his girlfriend for about six months, according to court records, and the elderly woman had reportedly become worried that the pair were plotting to move her into a home.

She told authorities that she argued with her son on Monday morning over the way she was being treated and was upset with him for stating that he was going to put her in a nursing home.
Blessing told police she got out two guns, which she said she has had since the 1970s - one bought at a gun store and the other obtained from her late husband. She told police she hadn't fired either since the 1970s.
She concealed two pistols in the pockets of her bathrobe before confronting her son in his bedroom and firing multiple shots at him with one handgun, records show.
She reportedly turned the gun on her son's 57-year-old girlfriend but after a struggle the woman was able to wrestle it out of her hands.

She also managed to get the second gun away from the 92-year-old.
The unidentified woman called authorities and Blessing was located on a recliner in the home and taken into custody.
Blessing told police she had wanted to kill herself but was out of weapons.
When detectives asked her what she thought should happen to her she replied she "should be put to sleep as a result of her actions".

Sheriff Paul Penzone said police had been called out to at least one other case of domestic violence involving Blessing and her son but could not give further details.
"It is always concerning when domestic issues escalate to violence or tragic outcomes," Penzone told a local TV station. "They are often isolated and neither predictable nor preventable."

Question: High debt levels could damage Ireland’s economic prospects, OECD warns

Represent this text to find a news title for it.

“Persistently” high private debt levels pose a serious risk to Ireland’s economic outlook, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has warned.
In its twice-yearly Economic Outlook report, the influential global body warned that elevated debt levels here left the economy “sensitive to rising interest rates”. The European Central Bank is expected to begin winding down its post-crash stimulus programme later this year as a forerunner to raising interest rates in 2019.
Warning
The OECD’s comments echo a recent warning from the Economic and Social Research Institute, which suggested Irish consumers could be hurt more by a cycle of ECB rate rises because of the high dependency on variable rate mortgages here.
In its report, the OECD noted that the Government’s budgetary policy would be mildly contractionary in 2018 and 2019, but said it needed to keep improving its fiscal position to create a buffer against future economic shocks, most notably Brexit, which posed a significant threat to Ireland’s economic outlook.
The State needs to leave room to use fiscal policy to support for growth as a counterbalance to the potentially “strong negative impact of Brexit at the end of the transition period in 2021”, it said.
The OECD said the Government’s €116 billion national development plan should be “conditional” on improving the Government’s fiscal position.
This would require various national infrastructural projects “to be carefully prioritised”, it said.
Assessment
Overall the OECD’s latest assessment of Ireland was relatively upbeat with the Paris-based agency predicting economic activity here would remain robust in the near term, fuelled by “solid employment growth and consumption”, before gradually easing.
It noted that wage pressure had risen in tandem with the rapid decline in unemployment but inflation had been kept in check thanks to the appreciation of the euro against the pound sterling in the wake of the Brexit vote in the UK.
It said the effects of sterling’s depreciation would eventually dissipate with wage pressures feeding through to higher inflation.
In terms of the world economy, the OECD said global growth is expected to hit 3.8 per cent this year, nudging up to 3.9 per cent in 2019.
However, the prospect of a trade war is threatening the global growth outlook, which otherwise is on course for a 40-year low in unemployment, the OECD said.
The US and EU could still negotiate a trade deal even if Washington imposes import tariffs on EU steel and aluminium, US commerce secretary Wilbur Ross said on Wednesday. EU leaders agreed earlier in May to open discussions about market access for US products, but only if Washington grants the EU a permanent exemption from tariffs.
Tariffs
The EU now has a temporary exemption, which expires on Friday. “There can be negotiations with or without tariffs in place. There are plenty of tariffs the EU has on us. It’s not that we can’t talk just because there’s tariffs,” Mr Ross told an OECD panel.
On the UK, the OECD noted that economic growth remained “modest” compared with other major economies. And it warned that the UK government must stand ready to ease up on austerity measures if growth weakens significantly in the run-up to the UK’s withdrawal from the EU.
Brexit negotiations should aim to “preserve open trade with the European Union and high access for financial services to EU markets”, the OECD said.

With that much time between the conclusion of that game and Super Bowl LII, the hope was that most of the injuries would heal up and that the majority of the roster would be in playing shape to face the Philadelphia Eagles.\nLittle did anyone expect for the New England Patriots to have a Super Bowl injury report without a single player listed.\nThat’s right. For the first time all season, the Pats have not a single person listed on their injury report as late on Friday afternoon; they’ve removed every single player. Earlier in the week, there were a handful of names on it and some who were dealing with some rather serious issues, but everything seems to have been cleared up.\nEarlier in the week, the Patriots had four players listed on the injury report and all of them have healed up in the exact same timeframe. They were limited in practice on Wednesday, practiced in full for the first time on Thursday, and were completely removed from the list as of Friday.\nThe biggest name was obviously that of tight end Rob Gronkowski, who suffered a concussion after taking a very hard hit to the helmet against the Jacksonville Jaguars. On Tuesday, Gronk said that he was feeling much better and he expected to be cleared and removed from the NFL’s concussion protocol at any moment, but Wednesday came and went without change.\nThis brought about a bit of concern as the Super Bowl was drawing ever closer and the Patriots knew that playing without Gronk was becoming a bigger possibility. On Thursday, though, the star tight end was cleared and participated fully in Thursday’s practice.\nOne of the other big worries of New England coaches was cornerback Malcolm Butler, who was battling an illness that came with flu-like symptoms. It was actually quite serious and he did not fly out to Minnesota with his teammates on Monday, as he didn’t want to get any of them sick. He stayed behind in Massachusetts and went to the hospital a number of times, but he was never admitted overnight. By Wednesday, Butler was practicing in a limited capacity and ready to go full-speed on Thursday.\nDefensive back Brandon King (knee) and defensive lineman Deatrich Wise (concussion) were the other two players on the injury report at the beginning of the week, but they also improved enough to practice fully on Thursday. On Friday, they were practicing at full-speed once again and removed from the injury report.\nIt is quite unheard of for an NFL team to have an empty injury report at any point in a season, and that includes Week 1. Still, here are the New England Patriots with a clean slate and a totally healthy team as they prepare to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII on Sunday.\nOut:\nNone\nDoubtful\nNone\nQuestionable\nNone\nProbable']' != '['represent the article to find a fitting news title', 'Rocky Widner/Getty Images\nGrant Hughes National NBA Featured Columnist\nSACRAMENTO, Calif. — DeMarcus Cousins will spend the rest of the 2016-17 NBA season walking on eggshells.\nHaving already served a league-mandated suspension for accruing 16 technical fouls, Cousins faces subsequent one-game bans for every two additional violations. Subduing emotion has always been difficult for the All-Star big man, but now the penalty for failure is more severe than ever.\nEvery incident that could produce a shout, scowl or diatribe against officials suddenly comes at a steeper price. Errant hands to the face of Donatas Motiejunas get extra scrutiny, for example. Reactions to low blows from Buddy Hield, obvious no-calls and every other potential outburst could result in another team-crippling suspension.\nAnd you\'d better believe it\'s weighing on Cousins.\n"I don\'t know how to be myself anymore," he said softly from his locker stall at the Golden 1 Center on Friday night.\nThe Kings had just engineered a 22-point comeback to steal a win from the visiting Atlanta Hawks, but more importantly, it was Cousins\' first night back from his initial suspension. He admitted the threat of future discipline affected his performance. Hence the miniature existential emergency.\n"It\'s well known I\'m a very emotional player," Cousins later explained to Bleacher Report. "I play with a lot of passion, a lot of emotion. I know that\'s what makes me the player that I am. When I\'m kind of crucified for how I play, and they want change, it\'s hard for me to be the same type of player...It\'s just me trying to find the balance. I\'m trying to make the adjustment, I\'m trying to make the change for the better."\nCan he sustain his productivity while snuffing out the fire that led to his suspension? And can he do it as the pressure of the season\'s stretch run intensifies?\nThearon W. Henderson/Getty Images\nCousins understands the stakes. He knows his team is within sniffing distance of the franchise\'s first playoff berth since 2007. And he knows one game lost to suspension here or there could be the difference between reaching what he\'s called his only goal and falling short again.\n"The guy\'s trying so hard," head coach Dave Joerger said. "He\'s an emotional player, so it\'s like he\'s playing with one hand behind his back if he can\'t ever say anything. He doesn\'t want to hurt the team. He doesn\'t want to get another technical."\nCousins survived the comeback win against Atlanta without incurring tech No. 17, but it was no easy thing. He was sluggish, visibly frustrated and unable to hide the strain of, well...restraint. Is his effectiveness divisible from his emotion?\n"I\'m dealing with my own demons right now," he said. "I\'ve got to focus on what\'s going on at the moment, and I did a terrible job of that."\nTwo nights later, Cousins was assessed a first-quarter technical foul for an errant swing of the arm that caught New Orleans Pelicans forward Motiejunas in the face. In order to compose himself, Cousins actually left the floor and went to the locker room.\nFrom Gucci Mane to LeBron: How the Kiss Cam Is NBA’s Cupid Was Aaron Gordon vs. Zach LaVine the Greatest Dunk Contest Ever?

Klay Thompson Career High 60 Points\n"It was kind of hard for me with that one because of the situation that had just occurred where I come back and the slightest thing and I\'m back (facing suspension)," Cousins said. "It\'s hard, but I had to gather myself, refocus and get back to the main objective which is winning the game. I\'ve got to walk the straight and narrow. It\'s all I can do."\nSacramento won that game as well, getting 28 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists from its best player—despite an ejection-triggering groin shot from Pelicans guard Hield. It was as if the basketball gods were testing Boogie. To his credit, he passed. Plenty of players with less volatile reputations would have snapped in that situation.\nBut so many more games lie ahead. So many more trials have yet to be undertaken. And, again, Cousins\' margin for error is basically nil.\nHow he handles the challenge he\'s helped create for himself (despite protestations about unfair treatment from officials, he is partly responsible for his situation) will either signal the kind of growth so many have been waiting to see or reaffirm the doubts that have dogged him for years.\nThearon W. Henderson/Getty Images\nHe\'ll have help.\n"I lean on all my teammates, not just Matt (Barnes). But he is the voice of our team. Everybody leans on Matt when times get hard because he\'s been through it all, seen it all on all levels."\nBarnes, like Cousins, is no stranger to image problems.\n"He\'s got a tough rap—the reputation he\'s earned," Barnes told ESPN-Tencent\'s Yuan Fang. "Whether it\'s good or bad. We both have bad and that took me my whole career to change mine and it hasn\'t worked. He just has to be able to adjust within his reputation and still be himself. He has to keeps his head."\nBarnes has been a calming figure all season, which may seem odd given his volatile reputation. He commands respect like no on else on the roster, and you can see it in the locker room and on the floor. When the Kings found life in the second half against Atlanta, they did so after Barnes gathered his teammates together at the foul line before the third quarter.\nWhen he motioned for a huddle, everyone—Cousins included—hustled over, leaned in close and listened to the veteran as he clapped his hands and exhorted them to perform.\n"I thought Matt did a good job of really talking to us the whole game," Darren Collison said. "He was the leader when things weren\'t going well."\nThis is about more than Cousins\' personal journey, though. The Kings have professed commitment to their big man, with general manager Vlade Divac saying Cousins won\'t be traded. A contract extension worth upwards of $200 million will likely come by July.\nCousins could validate that faith by adjusting his behavior and upping his level of play. Or he could falter and, in doing so, force the Kings to reconsider their committed stance. Worse still, he might come up short and get that max extension anyway, which would effectively consign Sacramento to another half-decade of maddening sub-mediocrity.\nWe\'ve seen a lot from DeMarcus Cousins over the last six years.\nHe\'s got six weeks to show us something more.\nKings Insider\'s Notebook\nFree Willie\nJoerger is loath to play Willie Cauley-Stein with Cousins, which is probably frustrating for fans who\'d like to see athleticism like this alongside the proven productivity of an All-Star big man:\nFrom Gucci Mane to LeBron: How the Kiss Cam Is NBA’s Cupid Was Aaron Gordon vs. Zach LaVine the Greatest Dunk Contest Ever?

Klay Thompson Career High 60 Points\nBut Sacramento\'s defense has been untenably bad in the 119 minutes the duo has played together, and it\'s only gotten worse as the season has worn on. In 50 minutes since Jan. 1, the Kings have allowed 118.1 points per 100 possessions with Cousins and Cauley-Stein on the court.\nThat\'s not to say Cauley-Stein\'s without his uses. Lately, his energy and rim-rolling prowess have charged up the Kings\' scrappy second unit. He put up 14 points, five rebounds and four assists in a Feb. 8 win over the Boston Celtics.\n"He\'s getting to balls that are outside of his area, and I think he\'s a lot more comfortable with our defensive schemes and also our offensive schemes where he can find seams to get to the rim."\nIn limited minutes as part of a unit with Anthony Tolliver, Matt Barnes, Ben McLemore and either Darren Collison or Ty Lawson, Cauley-Stein has solidified himself as a rotation player with upside. That\'s good timing by him, as Cousins figures to miss a few games before season\'s end, which will free up minutes in the middle.\nReturn of the Mac\nDoes it count as a return if Ben McLemore\'s viability as an NBA player was never really certain in the first place?\nRather than worry about the details, check this out: McLemore is tearing it up since regaining a role after six consecutive DNPs.\nIn February, he\'s averaging 13.3 points per game and hitting 50 percent of his threes. His 22 points and 6-of-10 effort from long distance were vital in Friday\'s win over Atlanta.\n"He\'s always been a good shooter to me, it was just a matter of time for him to really turn the corner," Darren Collison said. "One thing about Ben, even when he wasn\'t playing, he was always in the gym. First one in the gym, last one to leave."\nCousins, as you\'d expect, was more forthright: "Ben is like a little brother to me.

But, on the other, the Kings have been forced to develop resiliency.\n"Our fight and our heart is undeniable," Cousins said. "I believe everybody here can agree with me on that. That being said, we can\'t keep putting ourselves in that position. We gotta make these games easier for ourselves."\nNot getting blasted in every first quarter (the Kings lost all three opening periods in their three-game winning streak) would be a good start.\nFollow Grant on Twitter and Facebook.\nAll quotes obtained firsthand unless otherwise noted.

Question: Mulvaney pushes name change at federal watchdog agency

this news article should be represented to find a fitting news title.

NEW YORK (AP) — In Washington, even a name change is fraught with political drama.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is pushing to be referred to as the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, a surface level, but notable change for the agency tasked with protecting consumers against debt collectors and banks.
Officials say the change reflects the bureau's legal name, but critics say it underscores the abrupt ideological turn the bureau has taken since Trump-appointee Mick Mulvaney took over. The 2010 Dodd-Frank Act did create a "Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection" but that name has rarely been used, except occasionally in court filings.
Under Mulvaney, the bureau has proposed revisiting the regulations and policies the Obama administration put in place, and has also reduced the number of enforcement actions it has taken.

David Dayen at The Intercept points us to the latest on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau:
On Tuesday night, he (Trump)stood before the nation and boasted about the lowest unemployment rate on record for African-Americans. But just hours before his State of the Union address, his lieutenant and handpicked head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Mick Mulvaney, told staff in an email that he was seizing control of the unit responsible for policing anti-lending-discrimination laws.
CFPB Acting Director Mulvaney, in a previously unreported move, said that he would be putting the Office of Fair Lending and Equal Opportunity, or OFLEO, under his direct control, startling consumer protection and civil rights advocates, and raising concerns that the office would be unable to carry out its mission — and that, indeed, that was the very purpose of the shift.

Question: California wildfire blossoms, drives celebrities from homes

LOS ANGELES – Ash fell like snow and heavy smoke had residents gasping for air Monday as a huge Southern California wildfire exploded in size, becoming the fifth-largest in state history and driving celebrities from a wealthy hillside enclave.
Tens of thousands have fled their homes as flames churn through foothill towns near Santa Barbara, the latest flare-up after a week of wind-fanned wildfires throughout the region.
With acrid smoke thick in the air, even residents not under evacuation orders took the chance to leave, fearing another shutdown of a key coastal highway that was closed intermittently last week.
Officials handed out masks to those who stayed behind in Montecito, an exclusive community about 75 miles northwest of Los Angeles that’s home to stars such as Oprah Winfrey, Jeff Bridges and Drew Barrymore.
Actor Rob Lowe wore a mask as he live-streamed his family evacuating Sunday from their smoke-shrouded home.

“Praying for the people in my area,” he said to his Instagram followers. “Hope everybody’s getting out safe like we are, and thanks for the prayers and thoughts. And good luck to the firefighters, we need you!”
Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres tweeted that neighbors were helping each other and their animals get to safety.
“I’m sending lots of love and gratitude to the fire department and sheriffs. Thank you all,” she wrote.
Our house is under threat of being burned. We just had to evacuate our pets. I’m praying for everyone in our community and thankful to all the incredible firefighters. The live stream is on https://t.co/FTcKVvHO16 — Ellen DeGeneres (@TheEllenShow) December 10, 2017
The blaze has destroyed more than 750 buildings, officials said. It was partially contained after burning nearly 360 square miles (930 square kilometers) of dry brush and timber.
Customers coming into Jeannine’s American Bakery in Montecito brushed ash from their clothes and marveled at smoke so heavy that visibility was down to just a few feet.
“There’s so much ash it’s unbelievable,” manager Richard Sanchez said. “Everything is white. The streets are covered, cars are covered, our parking lot is covered.”
Amtrak canceled service through the city of Santa Barbara, and its nearly 200-year-old mission church was closed because of smoke and ash. Authorities issued repeated alerts about unhealthy air and warned people to stay indoors, avoid vigorous outdoor activities and not do anything to stir up ash.
Dr. Helene Gardner, an expert in air quality at University of California, Santa Barbara, watched ash fall “like a fine snow” from her home after the school postponed final exams until January. She said her environmental sciences students got a kick from the fact that the delay was directly related to their field of study.
Gardner warned that the air alerts should be taken seriously because of airborne particulates — “nasty buggers” that can lodge in lungs and cause respiratory problems.
She said the levels of particulates from a wildfire can approach those seen near coal-burning plants in pollution-heavy China and are especially problematic for people exerting themselves.
“When I look out my window and see someone bicycling I think, ‘No, no, no, get off your bike and walk!'” she said.
Forecasters predicted dry winds that spread fires throughout the region for a week would begin to lose their power Monday. Light gusts were driving the flames away from communities, Santa Barbara County fire spokesman Mike Eliason said. But the possibility of “unpredictable” gusts would keep firefighters on edge, he said.
“I’m not frightened yet,” Carpinteria resident Roberta Lehtinen told KABC-TV. “I don’t think it’s going to come roaring down unless the winds kick up.”
Santa Ana winds have long contributed to some of the region’s most disastrous wildfires. They blow from the inland toward the Pacific Ocean, speeding up as they squeeze through mountain passes and canyons.
Firefighters gained more control over other major blazes in Southern California and diverted resources to the Santa Barbara foothills to combat the enormous fire that started Dec. 4.
Fires are not typical in Southern California this time of year but can break out when dry vegetation and too little rain combine with the winds. Though the state emerged this spring from a yearslong drought, hardly any measurable rain has fallen in the region over the past six months.
High fire risk is expected to last into January.

Question: Unofficial tally points to runoff vote for Indonesia capital

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - Unofficial vote counts indicate the election for governor of the Indonesian capital will proceed to a second round in April with no candidate getting more than 50 percent in Wednesday's vote.
Most of the called quick counts carried out by polling companies give a slim lead to the incumbent Gov. "Ahok" Tjahaja Purnama, a minority Christian whose campaign was hurt by blasphemy charges, over Anies Rasyid Baswedan.
Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono, the son of a former president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, is in a distant third place.

The election campaign was married by religious intolerance and racial bigotry that undermined Indonesia's reputation for moderation.

Question: Humanizing Medicine with the Written Word

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

From her days in high school, when she was the captain of her science olympiad team and learned how to play both the piano and flute, to when she came to Amherst as a Schupf scholar and eventually became editor-in-chief of The Amherst Student, Jingwen Zhang’s future has always been as bright as her smile. Her easy-going and sincere personality, along with her motivation and leadership, has made her years at Amherst unforgettable — both for her and everyone around her. Zhang led her peers from her position on the e-board of Amherst Christian Fellowship, created advocacy, outreach and education initiatives for GlobeMed at Amherst and handled countless medical emergencies as a member of Amherst College Emergency Medical Service (ACEMS). She is a true interdisciplinary scholar, pursuing the pre-med track, exploring many of Amherst’s humanities departments and developing her excellence as a writer, in the classroom and out. Her extensive contributions to our community will last long after her time at Amherst comes to a close.
Blooming on Amherst Grounds
Zhang began her journey in China, moved to Chicago when she still had baby teeth and grew up in Columbus, Ohio. She quickly overcame the “culture shock” of coming to Amherst and began to explore and nurture her interests. As one of the few Schupf scholars at Amherst, Zhang saw firsthand how “there were faculty who were willing to invest in me when I was just a freshman who knew nothing.” The Schupf scholarship allowed Zhang to receive access to faculty advising and research funding opportunities to explore her interests. Working with her Schupf advisor, Professor of Biology Caroline Goutte, she quickly realized that Amherst was different from the other colleges she had considered during the application process. Her early connections with Amherst faculty not only gave her confidence but also inculcated a profound appreciation for the humanities on top of her passion for science. “Biology is about figuring out how life works, but the humanities are about what gives life meaning,” Zhang said.
Zhang already had a tentative interest in becoming a doctor when she arrived at Amherst, but over her four years in Western Massachusetts, this interest developed into a whole-hearted passion for the field and its mission to help others. Zhang is sure to note that her passion for medicine did not come “as a lightbulb moment,” but rather blossomed through a sustained, regular commitment to expanding her experience in the field.
“I was able to connect with Amherst alums and shadow them, and I saw how people were able to use their own training for good,” she explained. The altruism in the field of medicine — “elevating other people’s needs before your own” — resonated with her Christian belief in the value of service, duty and care for those in need.
At Amherst, she also grew into her Asian-American identity. Her academic experience with Professor of American Studies Franklin Odo — “such a genius, leader and funny guy” — taught her to never be complacent with her Asian-American identity, to always ask how it “affects the way I perceive things.” A year after taking his course, WWII and Japanese Americans, she took a Schupf-funded trip to San Francisco, New York, Washington D.C., Los Angeles and Seattle to explore archival materials and the oft-ignored history of Asian-American communities. Her time with museum curators and other scholars shattered the one-dimensional image of Asian Americans that is pervasive in both “media and even higher-education.”
She tied in her growing awareness of Asian-American identity with how she expects to serve her patients in the future. A doctor who treats you, she believes, should place “pain and hardship in the context of who you are and what you’ve experienced.”
Zhang, according to close friend Zoe Wong ’18, is incredibly talented across a number of disciplines. “Jingwen … won awards in three different departments at Senior Assembly in addition to writing a thesis, which really demonstrates that quality,” Wong said. “She is also able to balance those impressive academics with extracurriculars and spending time with friends.”
Seong Eun Jung ’18, another friend, noted that this commitment to both her work and her relationships shows a lot about her character. “She is pretty understanding and caring,” he added.
Rising for Amherst Uprising
Zhang began writing for the news section of The Amherst Student in the spring semester of her first year. When she became the main Student reporter for the Amherst Uprising movement in November 2015, she had little idea that this would be foundational in her development as a journalist.
“With an emotionally-charged issue, you want to avoid making mistakes, which is why I approached the issue cautiously,” she said. With passion and indignation rising across the campus, some students questioned why Zhang kept “reporting the events objectively” without ever taking the students’ side. Shortly after the student movement, the college got rid of Lord Jeffery Amherst as its unofficial mascot, and Zhang faced another flurry of complaints, this time from alumni who called to let her know that they “didn’t like that the protests were happening.”
Zhang was determined to remain true to both journalistic ethics and journalism’s mission of balance. Nevertheless, she recalls, “it was a tough time covering those protests,” admitting that she hit a couple rough patches along the way. In trying times, Zhang sought respite and strength from both her editor-in-chief, Sophie Murguia ’17, and her mother, who is an experienced journalist herself.
“Not everything in news falls together in a neat fashion for you to write about,” Zhang explained. With contentious and heavy issues, she said that at times, it was “difficult sticking to the same set of rules.” Yet, she persevered and found her stride amidst the heat she faced — “you get used to it, and you keep writing what you write.” As an aspiring journalist myself, it was reassuring to hear from someone whose commitment to journalism’s code prevailed over emotion and personal whim.
In the spring semester of her junior year, Zhang was promoted to editor-in-chief of The Student. She led the newspaper with Drew Kiley ’18 for two semesters, covering the reveal of derogatory email exchanges between members of the men’s cross country team, the student uproar over new housing policies of gender quotas and the discovery of a noose on Pratt Field, among many other stories. Working with the Association of Amherst Students (AAS) to budget funds and resources, she also facilitated The Student’s transition from being an independent to a college-supported newspaper. The Student staff members she has personally mentored, including managing news editor Shawna Chen ’20 and current editor-in-chief Isabel Tessier ’19, cited her support as integral to their journalistic experiences at Amherst and thanked her for all that she has given to the paper. Her years-long investment in the student newspaper is visible in all of its sections, and her impact on editors and writers will continue long after she leaves Amherst.
Fascination, Failure and Fulfillment
In her final year at Amherst, Zhang crowned her love for biology with an honors thesis. Working with Professor of Biology Jeeyon Jeong as her advisor, Zhang attempted to better understand iron transport proteins in plants. “Iron is super important for your body, for all your metabolic processes, and you can’t do anything without it,” Zhang said. “It’s essentially in all your cells and in all living beings.”
Although it became stressful towards the end, Zhang says that writing her thesis “was cathartic.”
“It was overall, a really good experience because it showed me how research works,” she said. It served as a refreshing alternative to “the research projects I did in high school that someone would set up for me, where a lot of the work was just replicating experiments.”
For Zhang, writing a thesis was a voyage into uncharted waters, in which easy and simple solutions were seldom found. Even when she asked her advisor critical questions, Zhang said Jeong would respond with, “Hmm … Looks like you have more work to do to figure it out.” Though her research topic was novel, Zhang said that she felt “lucky to have previous experiences to easily jump into lab research.”
And yet, lab work was only half the job. “Writing a huge document like that is no small feat,” she said, “ because you have to go into the literature, draw out any information you can and explain why what you did was important.”
“For a lot of people, you don’t get results that work out, which is fine,” she added. Not having all the answers, however, is part of the process. Rather, Zhang said, the important thing is to take that uncertainty and use it to “lay the groundwork for future experiments.”
With so much invested in such an extensive intellectual project, growth of character is inevitable. “It’s a lot of thinking, a lot of dealing with failure,” she said. Now, she is able to laugh about how often she would become frustrated, even on the verge of tears, when her yeast cultures failed to grow in the lab. However, she persevered through those painful moments for the sweet rush of discovery — that moment when she found something fascinating and thought, “Huh … this is really important.”
Beyond Amherst
When asked whether she wants to continue her research after graduating, Zhang candidly responded that she doesn’t care as much for biology research as she does for practicing medicine. She is looking to expand her horizons, explaining that she “can apply this love for science and love for learning in so many different ways beyond research.” Fortunately for biology departments across the world, she is still “keeping open the idea of doing research in the future.”
Underpinning this overall ambition for discovery is her consistent love for writing. “I really want to carry good communication and writing skills into my medical practice,” Zhang said. She has been inspired by several Amherst alumni who frequently write as practicing doctors, and she hopes to write for a publication in the future.
It comes as no surprise, then, that Zhang plans on taking a gap year after graduation to do medical writing. “It’s not like journalism writing,” she explains, “but presenting medical literature in a way where people can read, understand and pass on what I’ve written.” Making medical knowledge more accessible is crucial, Zhang said, since many doctors “don’t really know how to communicate things well to their patients and to the public. In an era where relationships between academia and the public can get tense, facilitating good understanding and communication is more important than ever.”
Nevertheless, she leaves Amherst with a heavy heart, having cultivated treasured memories and invaluable experiences. She did struggle along the way, she said, but learned to ask for help. “You have to learn to be humble — only when you admit that you don’t know something is when you can learn.” And continue to learn she will.

Diesel wagons are rare in the U.S., yet two-thirds of all Kia Optima sales in Europe are expected to be the wagon and the volume powertrain is a turbodiesel. Intrigued by this forbidden fruit, I recently spent some time in the English countryside driving a new Kia Optima diesel wagon in attractive GT-Line S trim.
Although a diesel-powered wagon definitely won’t reverse the U.S. market’s transition away from sedans and toward crossovers, keep reading for insights on the English-spec Kia, whose lengthy name is officially the Optima Sportswagon 1.7 CRDi GT-Line S.
The diesel Kia wagon: 0-60 mph in …
Kia does offer the Optima wagon with a manual-transmission/diesel combo, but our loaded tester mated the engine to a seven-speed twin-clutch automatic. The 1.7-liter turbodiesel puts out just under 140 hp at 4,000 rpm and 251 lb-ft of torque from 1,750-2,500 rpm. For comparison, the 1.6-liter turbodiesel offered in the Chevrolet Equinox and Cruze produce 137 hp and 240 lb-ft. On the road, the Optima diesel wagon performed adequately most of the time, but by American standards it was underpowered. With a manufacturer-estimated 0-60-mph time of 10.7 seconds, passing took some planning. In most other driving circumstances, the 1.7-liter diesel and transmission proved responsive and mostly kept to the background—just don’t plan any spirited winding-road carving in this one.
Stop-and-go traffic and that transmission
Where the twin-clutch transmission made itself known more than I would have liked was in stop-and-go traffic. When easing off the brakes slowly, the car shuddered a bit (like some other cars with twin-clutch transmissions). Once you escape that traffic, though, the Optima was quiet at speed except for a little tire noise.
Fold it down
The Kia gets a passing grade when it comes to rear-seat functionality. I always appreciate it when wagons and crossovers allow me to fold down the rear seats from the cargo area, and in the Kia, the 40/20/40-split seats fold forward after you pull a lever on either side of the cargo area. One cool wagon-specific feature: those rear seats recline—and that’s not something most reasonably priced sedans can claim.
The cargo area is flat, and there is some hidden space beneath the floor, too. As with Kias in the U.S., Optima wagons in Europe can be equipped with a power liftgate that opens if you stand behind the car (with smart key in pocket) for more than three seconds. The liftgate is also height-adjustable.
Avoid that curb
The Optima GT-Line S wagon I drove was filled with cool features, which is something we’ve come to expect from Kia. Aside from the panoramic sunroof that helped rear-seat passengers see trees overhead in the country and buildings in London, the automaker’s multicamera visibility system deserves a shout-out. Just like the system on Motor Trend’s long-term Kia K900 sedan and the one offered on a few U.S.-spec Kias today, the Optima’s is easy to use and, helpfully, allows you to see how close your front wheel is to a curb.
Our tester also included a self-parking system that worked well enough when I used it to parallel park (the system can help with perpendicular spaces, too). Considering how enormous the Optima wagon felt in a town filled with small hatchbacks, I ended up reparking the car closer to the curb, just to make sure it was out of the way. The self-parking system’s button is shown above on the bottom right, and the multi-camera system on the top left with the “VIEW” button.
Sexy seats
I’m a fan of the Optima GT-Line S’ front seats. Before you even step inside, the black leather with red stitching looks great, especially with the ribbed treatment the seat centers get. The front seats have some bolstering and are heated/ventilated, and the rear outboard seats are heated, as well.
Styling: Optima Wagon or Optima Sedan?
The Optima wagon’s styling grew on me during the time we had it. I like the wagon’s rising side-window line, which echoes that of the sedan. And considering the Optima has featured unique chrome side trim for years (from the front of the driver-side window to the bottom of the rear windshield), I like the way the chrome window trim gets thicker as it ends near the top of the D-pillar. The only angle where I strongly prefer the sedan is the rear view, where the wagon’s pushed-down license plate area is consistent with the Sportage compact crossover but looks awkward to me.
Making Sense
Could the Optima Sportswagon make sense as a U.S. model? Probably not, even if Kia turned it into a crossoverlike competitor for the Subaru Outback and Buick Regal TourX. The Optima wagon would turn a few heads, though, especially in the GT-Line S trim that uses bits and pieces of the SX’s package in the U.S., from those flashy 18-inch wheels to the exaggerated sporty styling on the lower rear bumper and large exhaust outlets. Otherwise…
Consider the Hybrids
Kia’s extensive Optima lineup in the U.S. includes a hybrid and a plug-in model (the PHEV is offered in England), and if the diesel’s highway range sounds appealing, try the U.S. market’s hybrid. With a pure highway driving range of well over 700 miles (or 668 miles with a mix of city and highway driving), the Optima Hybrid will far outlast your bladder. In stop-and-go traffic, the car will probably be quieter, too, though I was impressed by the little diesel’s quietness.
If sales of the Buick Regal TourX and Volkswagen Golf Alltrack start reaching Subaru Outback levels, Kia could prepare a stylish and feature-rich competitor of its own based on the Optima Sportswagon.

Forty weeks down and only 12 to go for the year of 2017. Highlights this week include; Ferrari 458 Speciale, BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition, Ferrari Red BMW M4, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series and Legacy Edition combo, GAS Ford GT500 Super Snake, Bentley Continental SuperSports, Mercedes-Maybach S600 and the stunning LaFerrari Aperta at the Cape Town waterfront.
