The Ventura College women’s cross country team has raised some eyebrows under first-year head coach Melody Axtell.
One week after winning the Bakersfield Invitational, the Pirates were the surprise winners of the Western State Conference Preview at Bonneli Park in San Dimas on Sept. 29.
“They ran really tough,” Axtell said. “The course was similar to Arroyo (Verde in Ventura) with the hills, so the girls were familiar with that type of training.”
Marissa Gonzales was fourth in 19 minutes, 54.9 seconds, Fabiola Flores Gomez was sixth in 20:40.8, Tatiana Garcia was seventh in 20:46.8 and Mary Schmidt was 10th (21:20.9) as Pirates finished with 46 points, five better than Glendale.
"We have a close team," Axtell said. "Our top 4 is consistent and we have a few pushing to make that fifth spot."
The conference has been dominated recently by Glendale and Canyons, but the Pirates' early performance is a sign they are in the running this fall.
“We still have a lot of work to do,” Axtell said. “I know the teams are getting better each week.”
Sophomore Briana Valencia finished third in 19:38.5 as the Oxnard College women finished fourth. Moorpark sophomore Emma Player was fifth in 20:14.1.
Freshman Adan Cruz finished sixth (22:34.7) as the Ventura College men finished third.
Freshman Juan Martinez was ninth (22:43.5) as the Oxnard College men finished sixth.

Michelle Pena and Stephanie Salcido scored second-half goals as the Oxnard College women’s soccer (4-4-2) team tied No. 10 ranked Los Angeles Pierce, 2-2. Angela Sanchez had an assist.
The Ventura College women’s soccer (4-7-2) team drew 1-1 with Citrus on Tuesday. Justine Reyes set up Paola Gonzalez’s goal in the 23rd minute.
Moorpark (3-8-1) fell 1-0 at No. 4 Canyons.
WATER POLO
The Ventura College women’s water polo team (5-10) fell to 0-2 in Western State Conference play with a 10-7 loss to Hancock on Wednesday.
VC led 7-4 late in the third quarter, but Hancock scored the last six goals of the match.
Kayla Wallace had two goals and two assists and Katie Heath had two goals, an assist and two steals.

Mayor Helene Schneider welcomed Bill Pintard and his Santa Barbara Foresters to their new home at Pershing Park. The club has brought six National Baseball Congress World Series trophies to the city. Players stood for the anthem before the home opener. John Jensen (13) got the first hit and scored the first run in a 7-4 win over the Orange County Riptide. A young fan’s souvenir jersey needs some straightening out.
Dodger Stadium has nothing on Pershing Park when it comes to scenic backdrops. Instead of the distant San Gabriel Mountains, spectators at the ballpark near the Santa Barbara waterfront enjoy a high-definition view of the Santa Ynez range looming over the Riviera. There are palm trees, of course, but L.A. has nothing like the Moreton Bay fig tree that stands majestically behind first base; it is a sibling of the giant tree near the train station. The inauguration of Pershing Park as the home field of the Santa Barbara Foresters occurred last Friday evening. The festivities began with the parading of six National Baseball Congress World Series trophies to home plate. Among the escorts were Dylan Axelrod, a pitcher on the first Santa Barbara team to win the national championship in 2006; Vaughn Wipf and Bill Oakley, players on the original Foresters teams of the 1950s; and Bob Abramson, a loyal fan known as the “Rip-It Dude” for his exhortations from the stands. Kailey Wipf, 14-year-old granddaughter of Vaughn, sang the national anthem; Mayor Helene Schneider tossed the ceremonial first pitch (in bowling, it would have been a strike); and at 6 p.m., it was time to play ball. By Paul Wellman
It was a successful evening for the Foresters both on and off the field. They outscored the visiting Orange County Riptide, 7-4, with a display of timely hitting, clutch pitching, and error-free defense. The bleachers were filled by some 300 fans. They were bathed in sunshine for almost two hours, and then the lights kicked in — a feature lacking at UCSB’s diamond, the Foresters’ home for 26 previous years.
Sales were brisk at the concession stands. Craft beer was dispensed at $5 a cup, and by the fifth inning, the keg was drained.
Homegrown player John Jensen drove a long single into right center for the Foresters’ first hit. Jensen later finished off a triple in the fifth inning with a headfirst dive. “The dirt’s nice and soft,” Jensen said. Already, the club’s investment in improving the field — replacing the grass baselines with tons of new dirt — had paid off.
The Foresters won again Saturday, shutting out the Long Beach Legends, 7-0, with six dominant innings from starting pitcher Daniel Vasquez of Tennessee. But their staff is not at full strength, and on Sunday afternoon they went down to a 7-1 defeat at the hands of the Ventura Pirates.
“The cavalry is riding in soon,” said Bill Pintard, the Foresters’ manager who capitalizes on Santa Barbara’s alluring climate to assemble one of the nation’s strongest collegiate wooden-bat ball clubs every summer.
Players from Texas and Texas Tech are on their way. But the Foresters will have to wait for five prospects from TCU and Cal State Fullerton who are playing in the College World Series.
With 23 more home games on the Foresters’ home schedule, Pershing Park will be alive with the sound of baseball every weekend through July 20-23.
Royal Roundup
The girls of San Marcos High earned some curtain calls at the end of the scholastic sports year. Hailee Rios and the Royals softball team made it all the way to the CIF Division 4 championship game, where an undefeated Buena squad proved to be too much. The Royals had two finalists in the CIF State Track and Field Championships: senior Erica Schroeder, making her third appearance in the 800-meter run — which she won as a sophomore — finishing sixth in a season’s best time of 2:09.53; and junior Allie Jones, seventh in the 100 hurdles.
Down to the Wire
Three runners battled it out in the final block of the women’s elite race during the 18th annual State Street Mile on June 4. A late surge by UCSB grad Tori Tsolis carried her to a new record of 4:22, rewarding her with a $1,000 bonus. The men’s elite race was won Darius Terry, a UCSB assistant coach, in 3:54, as eight runners broke four minutes.
Elite Eight
San Marcos senior Kento Perera concluded his prep tennis career by advancing to the CIF individual quarterfinals. Vanderbilt recruit Adam Sraberg of Harvard-Westlake defeated the four-time Channel League champion, 6-3, 7-5. Perera will continue his education at Stanford.
Coaching Legends
As a UCSB basketball player, Gene Snyder scored the Gauchos’ first basket of the 1948-49 season against UCLA, in the Westwood debut of John Wooden as coach of the Bruins. Snyder, a true gentleman himself, went on to become a winning coach at Santa Barbara High and retired as the school’s principal. He died at 90 on May 26, and there will be a celebration of his life on August 27 at the Carriage Museum. … Bishop Diego High held a memorial last Sunday for Norris Fletcher, a coach who turned around the fortunes the Cardinals football team in the 1990s. A fiery speech by Fletcher could make the most laid-back kid want to go out and tackle somebody. He died at 84 in Alba, Texas.

The outfielder had seven runs-batted-in in his first five games, including three RBIs and three hits in Santa Barbara’s home opener. Jensen was an all-league third baseman at Santa Barbara High, and he finished his freshman year at SBCC as the Western State Conference North Player of the Year, hitting for a .380 average in conference games.

Question: AP-NORC Poll: For many online Americans, Facebook is a habit

represent this text to find a news title for it:

NEW YORK — Social media is a daily way of life for many Americans.
Nearly half of Americans who use the internet say they use Facebook at least several times a day, making it easily the most popular social media site. And Facebook-owned Instagram comes in No. 2.
So whether you’re reaching for your phone before getting out of bed in the morning, or logging on to procrastinate during work, chances are you see the little blue “F” icon more often than you take a shower.
A new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that 12 per cent of Americans who are online use Facebook “almost constantly,” while 34 per cent use it several times a day. About 15 per cent use it once a day, and only 12 per cent of Americans don’t have a Facebook account at all.
More women than men check Facebook more than once a day — 57 per cent of women compared to 36 per cent of men, according to the poll. Younger people are on Facebook more than older people. About 62 per cent of adults under 30 check the site several times a day or more, while only 30 per cent of adults 60 or over do. About 54 per cent of adults 30 to 44 check multiple times a day, as do 43 per cent of adults aged 45 to 59.
Jim Mazzarese, 73, a retired airline manager from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, is one senior who checks Facebook on his phone several times a day when he gets notifications. He has a bit of a love-hate relationship with the site.
“It gets me crazy when I see opinions other than mine, it gets my blood pressure going up — but it’s a lot of fun,” he said. He appreciates how Facebook has let him connect with people from when he was growing up “100 years ago.”
What about the other social media sites?
Seventeen per cent of Americans say they check Instagram throughout the day, and 10 per cent say that about Snapchat. For all of the attention that President Donald Trump gets for his tweets, only 7 per cent of Americans say they use the micro-blogging site several times a day. Just 5 per cent say they spend that much time on WhatsApp, and 4 per cent say the same of Reddit.
Is it actually healthy to check in with Facebook so much?
In a blog post in December, Facebook acknowledged that users should be mindful of the issue. A study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology the same month found University of Michigan students randomly assigned to read Facebook for 10 minutes were in a worse mood at the end of the day than students assigned to post or talk to friends on the platform.
Meanwhile, a study that Facebook research director David Ginsberg conducted with a Carnegie Mellon professor showed that sending or receiving direct messages or posts and comments on one’s timeline tends to boost psychological well-being.
Worldwide, Facebook has 1.4 billion daily active users out of 2.2 billion total, so most active Facebook users check in at least once a day.

Question: Weidmann: economic developments could allow ECB to end bond buys

represent the article to find a fitting news title:

BERLIN (Reuters) - Positive economic developments and inflation forecasts could allow the European Central Bank to quickly end its bond purchases, Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann said in a German newspaper interview to be published on Monday.

Weidmann, a persistent critic of the ECB bond-buying scheme, told the newspaper Neue Osnabruecker Zeitung that the ECB had not decided when and how to end the practice, but market players expected the purchases to end around the end of 2018.
The interview was released to media ahead of publication.
“I personally think that the good economic developments and the inflation forecast would allow a rapid end to the bond purchases,” said Weidmann, who is expected to be Germany’s candidate to take over as ECB President when Mario Draghi’s term end late next year.
Weidmann last month said it was important to gradually reduce the degree of monetary policy accommodation.
The euro zone economy has been on its best run in a decade, in great part because of ECB efforts to keep borrowing costs at record lows to spur lending, spending and investment, all in the hope of generating inflation.
Investors now expect the ECB to end its 2.55 trillion-euro bond-purchase program by the close of the year, convinced that inflation will continue to rise, even if only slowly.
Analysts expect the bank’s deposit rate, at minus 0.4 percent, to rise in the middle of next year and reach zero by the end of the year.

BRUSSELS/FRANKFURT Inflation surged and growth continued to accelerate in the euro zone, a plethora of indicators showed on Friday, keeping pressure on the European Central Bank to start dialling back its lavish stimulus measures as early as June.
Underlying inflation -- the price indicator most watched by the ECB -- blew past expectations to hit a three-year high. Household lending rose to its best rate since the global financial crisis while a measure of money in circulation, an indicator of coming economic activity, also jumped, suggesting that overall growth may be stronger than expected.
Still, the inflation figures were influenced by one-off factors -- including Easter spending -- so the ECB will probably maintain its plan to move only in increments and taking only the smallest of steps in June.
The ECB kept its ultra-easy policy stance steady on Thursday, even leaving the door open to more easing, arguing that underlying inflation is not showing any signs of a convincing upward trend, raising the risk that a premature exit would unravel its work.
While markets expect the ECB to tone down its language in June, removing its bias for further easing, ECB President Mario Draghi gave no hint of such moves on Thursday, only venturing to say that economic risks have receded.
Conservative policymakers, long opposed to the ECB's stimulus, have warned that generous asset buys risk overheating the economy, could inflate asset bubbles and may push up inflation too quickly.
Confounding expectations, core inflation, or prices excluding food and energy, increased by 1.2 percent this month, higher than any analysts in a Reuters poll had predicted. While some of the rise may be due to pricing around Easter, the rate is the highest since the summer of 2013.
Overall inflation meanwhile rose to 1.9 percent in April from 1.5 percent, essentially hitting the ECB's own target of price growth just below 2 percent.
"In May the inflation rate will no longer be affected by the Easter holiday (so) core inflation should then drop again to 0.9 percent," Commerzbank said.
"The inflation rate as a whole will also fall back to 1.5," Commerzbank predicted.
The euro jumped over a half a percent on the data EUR= with investors pricing in a more hawkish stance from the ECB at its next meeting.
NEXT MOVE
Though no actual tightening is seen for months to come, the ECB could remove all or some of its references to more easing, arguing that risks were balanced. It is then seen deciding in September, at the earliest, whether to extend its asset buying scheme beyond this year.
"The ECB will not read too much into these (inflation) data. While we still see it tapering its asset purchases next year, the process will be fairly slow and interest rate hikes are a long way off," Capital Economics Chief European Economist Jennifer McKeown said.
Fighting ultra-low inflation into the fifth straight year, the ECB has cut rates deep into negative territory and plans to buy 2.3 trillion euros worth of bonds by the end of the year, all in the hope of boosting growth, which would then generate inflation.
Although price have come up quickly this year, the ECB has warned that much of this is due one-off energy price rises and inflation will then dip back.
Indeed, the ECB's own survey of professional forecasters put core inflation at just 1.1 percent this year, predicting only incremental rises for years to come.
Still, household lending, another indicator of economic activity, hit its highest rate since 2009 last month while bushiness lending also jumped, suggesting that the ECB's cash is making its way into the real economy.
Indeed, economic sentiment hit a near ten year high this month and Spanish GDP growth accelerated to an annual 3 percent this year, all pointing to relatively healthy growth.

Question: Credit Suisse struggles to quell pay revolt even after bonus cut

Represent the article to find a fitting news title.

Credit Suisse on Tuesday struggled to extinguish shareholder unrest over payouts to senior executives, even after top management offered to cut their bonuses by 40 per cent and its board of directors said it would freeze its pay.
Influential proxy advisers Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) and Glass Lewis both still advised shareholders to vote against bonus payments on offer to senior management at the Zurich-based bank’s annual general meeting on April 28.
Shareholders in Switzerland have veto power over management and board pay following a 2013 national referendum on the issue. If Credit Suisse shareholders reject the plan, it would be the first use of the Swiss veto at a leading company.
In an effort last week to head off growing unrest over the proposal to pay 78 million Swiss francs (£61.79 million) in bonuses to top executives, senior management led by Chief Executive Tidjane Thiam offered to cut 2016 payouts.
Nevertheless, ISS kept its opposition to the pay plan because Credit Suisse had not altered pay items up for a vote.
“Rather, shareholders are being asked to support the board’s original proposals for these items, in the knowledge that the board and executive board have voluntarily agreed to not accept the full amounts that they would be entitled to if the proposals are approved by shareholders,” ISS said in a report.
A bank spokesman said the bank took note of the recommendations and respects shareholder democracy.
The Glass Lewis opposition was reported by Swiss broadcaster SRF. Glass Lewis, which had opposed the 26 million francs in short-term bonuses, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
If shareholders vote down the bonuses, Credit Suisse’s board of directors may submit a new proposal to an extraordinary general meeting or to the next AGM, according to Credit Suisse’s articles of association.
ISS and Glass Lewis represent 15-20 per cent and 10 per cent of Credit Suisse shareholders respectively, according to an estimate from Swiss shareholder advisory firm Ethos.
Over all, CEO Thiam’s compensation will drop by 4.67 million francs through the bonus cut, although his 2016 compensation will fall only to 10.24 million francs from 11.9 million because the bulk of the reduction comes from 2017 long-term payments.
The pay packet still makes Thiam one of Europe’s highest-paid bank CEOs.
Since taking over as CEO in mid-2015, Thiam has shifted the bank’s focus towards wealth management while shrinking Credit Suisse’s investment bank.
The costly restructuring and heavy penalties for selling toxic mortgage debt in the run-up to the financial crisis meant a second straight full-year loss for Credit Suisse.

Goldman techies bounce old-timers, then take their jobs
A team of programmers who helped Goldman Sachs eliminate hundreds of trading jobs over the past few years are venturing into the bank's M&A business, making some junior bankers uneasy. These programmers – known internally as "strats" – now support those handling equity underwriting, leveraged buyouts and deals within the financial services and real estate sectors. They are also analyzing client data to offer better advice on deal targets. Conventional wisdom holds that investment banking relies on personal relationships forged over years of business lunches, rounds of golf and boardroom presentations, but Reuters' Olivia Oran reports on why that might not be all there is to it.

Facebook is adding polls to Messenger Stories, after the feature proved popular on Instagram. The tool lets users post a status update and have their friends weigh in
To try out the new feature, first shoot a photo or video in Facebook Messenger.
From there, add a 'polls' sticker and type your question. After that, select two custom answers that friends can choose from.
After you post the poll, friends can begin voting and respond to your story directly by hitting the reply button, Facebook said.
Users can also swipe up to see a list of people who viewed the poll and what they voted.
'We've launched Polls in Messenger Stories so you can easily get feedback from friends on anything that comes to mind like what to name your new puppy and other questions,' Facebook said in a tweet.
Facebook is bringing polls to Messenger Stories not long after introducing the tool to Instagram and the Stories platform on the core Facebook app.

Instagram Stories added polls last October, while Facebook Stories rolled out the polling feature in November.
While Instagram Stories has enjoyed significant popularity, counting at least 250 million daily active users, Messenger Stories has struggled to attract users.
As of September 2017, Messenger Stories had 70 million daily users, according to Venture Beat.
Adding polls to Messenger Stories might help bring more users to the platform.
Facebook introduced Stories last year. They highlight decorative content in a horizontal layout over News Feed that disappears in 24 hours - just like Instagram Stories
Meanwhile, the Messenger app has now reached a staggering 1.3 billion monthly users.
Facebook is in the process of overhauling Messenger's design, after announcing it would be making some major changes at its F8 developers conference earlier this month.
As part of the redesign, Facebook said it hopes to make Messenger cleaner and faster, thereby making it easier to use.
The new Messenger app is expected to roll out in the coming months.

Dan Klarer performed in “Santaland Diaries” by David Sedaris at Third Avenue Playhouse in 2012 and again in 2015. He also took on “Every Brilliant Thing” by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe this past season. He was asked to do both by TAP co-artistic director Robert Boles, who also directed him in both plays.
“It’s a bit nerve-wracking to think about being in front of people by yourself for that amount of time,” Klarer said. It helped that the material was so funny. “The nature of the piece felt more like a stand-up routine, so I didn’t have to be funny by myself.”
Klarer said the script split up pretty nicely into chunks, so it was easier than he thought to memorize. When he did the show again, the lines came back pretty quickly even though it had been three years.
“It was fun to come back to and tweak how the audience experiences it and to focus on new things and refine things,” he said. "... it is harder when it is just one person. There’s no one to play catch with, especially if the audience response is dead and smashes the energy ball to the ground.”
Klarer noted that “the other daunting thing about a one-man show is that people start to think that that’s how you are or that it is actually you.”
“The Santaland Diaries” includes material that is very satirical and even mean. It’s also a bit of a period piece now, and there are certain phrases and terms we don’t use anymore.
Klarer said he could feel the audience cringe, but he said, “I have to go too far to do justice to the piece and to the people he (Sedaris) encountered.”
Klarer said that “Every Brilliant Thing” was much more challenging. “Had I done that one first, I would have been scared out of my mind,” he said.
Amy Ensign performed Willy Russell’s “Shirley Valentine” under Arthur “Doc” Hopper’s direction in 2011 and in 2012 and William Luce’s “The Belle of Amherst” in 2005, directed by Henry Timm. Both shows were at TAP.
When Timm asked her to do “The Belle of Amherst,” Ensign didn’t think about the task of being on stage by herself at first.
“I was just so enamored of the character and the arc of the play,” she said. After reading it, she said she thought, “Yeah, yeah, I want to do it.”
Ensign almost immediately connected with character and read the play as the character. She had a long time before rehearsal, so there was lots of time to live with it before jumping in.
“It got scary the second week of rehearsal, when I thought ‘is it possible to do such a thing?’” Ensign said. She said she got through it because Timm told her she could, and because her mom was a big support, too.
“Once you’ve done a one-person show you feel like you can do anything,” Ensign said. So, when she had the opportunity to work with Hopper on “Shirley Valentine,” she was enthusiastic and confident. She also knew what she found challenging the first time and addressed those things head-on, including how she connected sections as she memorized. Both experiences, though, made her desperately want to work with someone else on stage afterward.
Boles has directed several one-man shows at TAP, including Stephen Pearce in Steve Murray’s “This Wonderful Life” in 2013, Klarer in both of his shows, me in “Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol,” and co-directed James Valcq in “Velvet Gentleman.”
As a producer, Boles finds that one-person shows are appealing because they are cost-effective programming. But, from the creative end, Boles said, “The danger is that it could be static and boring, even with the best of actors. You need to make it a theatrical experience.
“You want an actor who can embody the characters, and you need to make it visually interesting as a director. Technically, you are dealing with one person telling a story. You ask yourself ‘What is inherently theatrical about this as opposed to your drunken uncle telling you a story at the Thanksgiving table? What can I surround the actor with to support that performance — with lighting effects or sound effects or none of the above? Not distracting from the actor, but supporting what the actor is doing and heightening and underscoring and keeping the ball rolling?’”
Boles says it’s hard for an actor to carry that responsibility.
“The best one-person shows make it seem like there are other characters there on stage with them. They create the illusion of a fuller environment and keep the story moving with forward motion.”
I asked Valcq if “Velvet Gentleman” was his first one-person show. Valcq said “Yes. And last!”
After seeing Katherine Duffy, Ensign, Pearce, Klarer and myself all do one-person shows, Valcq wanted to see if he could do one. He wondered, “Can any good actor do this?” Valcq said he learned that you use the same set of skills as in any other show, but you have to apply some of them differently.
Valcq created “Velvet Gentleman,” his one-man show about the eccentric composer Erik Satie, for himself to perform. That meant there was an element of knowing he could deliver everything the playwright asked of him. But that didn’t mean he wasn’t challenging himself.
Many may have thought, given Valcq’s impressive musical accomplishments, that the parts where he played the piano were completely in his comfort zone. He actually practiced an hour a day for six months, more than he had done in 20 years.
He was also surprised not to feel alone on stage.
“It’s not a showcase,” Valcq said. “It’s as much about telling a story and playing a character as any other role, perhaps more so. Especially in an intimate space where you are so exposed.”
“Velvet Gentleman” returns to TAP next December.
I resume my own journey through solo performing, under Boles’ perceptive and sensitive direction, from Dec. 20 to 31 at TAP with the return of “Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol” by Peninsula Players mainstay Tom Mula. I have the pleasure of taking this remarkable journey in the company of my fellow arts travelers, each night’s audience. I’m grateful for the experience we will share.

Question: Pipelines, asylum seekers, tuberculosis: how politics touched us this week

represent the article to find a fitting news title

OTTAWA — Parliament Hill was a swirl of fresh faces and a storm of news this week in the rush to get things done and square events away before the Thanksgiving break.
In a sea of pageantry, the next Governor General, astronaut Julie Payette, was sworn in to her new position, replacing David Johnston. Premiers and Indigenous leaders from across the country then gathered nearby for a meeting with the prime minister — a meeting that led to a more solid picture of what legalization of cannabis will eventually look like.
The next day, the NDP’s new leader, Jagmeet Singh, took a victory lap through his party’s caucus room, inspiring a jubilance not seen since the days of Jack Layton.
Personalities aside, there were impactful developments on pipelines, asylum seekers and tuberculosis. Here’s how politics affected Canadians’ everyday lives this week:
PIPELINE APOPLEXY
TransCanada has followed through on its hints this summer and cancelled its $16-billion plans for the Energy East pipeline — an announcement that prompted a vicious round of finger-pointing, blame-casting and, in some corners, celebration.
Whether the cancellation was because of market forces (as the Liberals contend) or unreasonable public policy (as the Conservatives argue), environmental activists and the mayor of Montreal claimed victory.
The animosity exposed unresolved quandaries for Canadian public policy. Will companies in the West find other, better, ways to export oil and gas, and will the public buy in? Will climate policy lead to depressed demand and low prices — and eventually mean Canada turns forcefully away from the natural resources that have buoyed its economy for an eternity? If not oil and gas, then what?
And as political leaders in Western Canada lash out at their eastern counterparts, is there any hope of forging a national consensus on how or whether the oil industry can or should coexist and prosper alongside a warming earth?
THE FATE OF ASYLUM SEEKERS
Canadians are beginning to learn about what is happening to the thousands of asylum seekers who walked across the Canada-U.S. border illegally over the past few months.
Their refugee claims are now working their way through a clogged system. Progress is slow. And about half of the claims are being rejected.
Government officials said this week they have finalized about 240 cases of about 8,000, and the rejection rate is about 50 per cent. That’s normal for Haitian claims, and most of the claimants over the summer were Haitians crossing into Quebec.
At the same time, the federal government is scrambling to live up to a commitment to bring 1,200 Yazidi women and girls into Canada as refugees from northern Iraq, where they had been too often forced into sex slavery.
Ottawa promised a year ago to bring them in, and this week Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen said 800 had arrived. The Conservatives are questioning his numbers, however, second-guessing whether the 800 are actually Yazidis.
The minister insists that the delay in the Yazidi effort has nothing to do with the resources required to process the asylum seekers at the border. But it’s clear that setting up a new home in Canada is not a walk in the park.
TACKLING TUBERCULOSIS
It’s almost unheard of as a problem in most of Canada, but tuberculosis is a scourge in the Inuit population. This week, the federal government rolled out a plan to eliminate what can be a deadly infectious lung disease.
Inuit in Nunavut are 270 times more likely to have TB than the rest of the population, a long-standing problem propelled by poverty and overcrowded, substandard housing.
The eradication plan involves setting up a task force with Inuit organizations, combining their prevention and treatment approaches, and incorporating housing into their plans.
In the last federal budget, about $1 million was earmarked for TB prevention in the Inuit population — meant to amplify ongoing efforts to improve diagnosis, prevention and new medical treatments.
But the TB problem is so entrenched that the government is still grappling with its long legacy. For decades, Inuit infected with the disease were flown south to receive treatment. They often never returned, dying or lost without their family supports. Officials are now trying to track down their graves.

Congress has yet to strike a deal on the Children's Health Insurance Program. We hear what this means for kids in need of medical care. Plus: It's been over 20 years since the federal government fully funded gun violence prevention research. We talk about the impact of this. And how one man is trying to keep the U.S. carnival industry afloat using a controversial migrant worker visa.

Question: Trump's pick for US highway chief withdraws from process

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP)  President Trump's nominee to lead the Federal Highway Administration has withdrawn from consideration for the post, a surprising development given his widespread support and qualifications, the U.S. Department of Transportation confirmed Monday.
A DOT spokesperson said that Paul Trombino III was stepping away from the federal appointment for family reasons. Trombino told colleagues in an email Friday that he had decided to stay in Iowa to take care of his ailing father, whose condition has recently deteriorated.
Trump announced Trombino's nomination in September, and he received bipartisan support. The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee endorsed Trombino in October, with members calling the 51-year-old a talented administrator who would help rebuild the nation's highways. He had been awaiting a vote from the full chamber to lead the agency within the U.S. Department of Transportation, which that has a $44 billion annual highway aid budget and 3,000 employees.
Trombino was a favorite of road builders who successfully helped push for Iowa's 10-cent-per-gallon gas tax increase in 2015. The Wisconsin native had spent most of his career at the Wisconsin DOT as an engineer and administrator. Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad picked him to run the Iowa DOT in 2011 and he was considered a visionary leader fluent in everything from self-driving cars to shipping policy. Trombino served as president of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials for 2015-2016, a prestigious position in the field.

Trombino surprised Iowa officials when he announced plans to step down the day after the November 2016 presidential election, saying he wanted to look for jobs in the private sector. He soon became president of McClure Engineering Company, an Iowa-based firm.
He told employees in an email Friday that he intends to stay there, saying he looked forward to continuing to work with their "wonderful team."
"After many conversations with my family, we have decided that it is best that I withdraw from the nomination process," he wrote. "Iowa is my home and I need to be here for what likely will be the last two years or less of my father's life."

Question: Injury forces Pumas into midfield change for Wallabies

MENDOZA, Argentina — Argentina was forced into a late change for its Rugby Championship closer against Australia when midfield regular Jeronimo de la Fuente failed a fitness test on Friday, a day after hurting his left leg in training.
De La Fuente, who has started in every Pumas test this year, was replaced by backup Santiago Gonzalez Iglesias, who will on Saturday make his first start in almost a year.
Three-time Rugby World Cup back Juan Martin Hernandez came into the reserves for a match in which the Pumas are out to redeem themselves.
They are at risk of failing to earn a competition point for the first time since joining the competition in 2012.
The Pumas enjoyed one win in 2014, '15 and '16, against either Australia or South Africa, but have regressed this year with five heavy losses, none of them earning even a losing bonus point for being within seven points of the victor.
The Pumas pack has imposed itself only briefly, and the scrum was ruined last week by the All Blacks. The backline hasn't sparkled or threatened. And poor discipline has hurt them, highlighted by five yellow cards and one red.
Flanker Pablo Matera insists the Pumas have the right game plan.
"We are failing to carry out the game plan," Matera says. "The system is not failing, it is us players who are failing."
He adds the team is more angry than disappointed with its results and how it is playing.
The nature of the competition means the Pumas don't have time to be frustrated, he adds, but they also don't have time to fix all of their mistakes.

The British and Irish Lions' tour of New Zealand is on the precipice of disaster after news that premier fly-half Owen Farrell is a major doubt for the first test after suffering a quadriceps strain. The England half-back had been named on the bench for the clash with the Maori All Blacks, the last opportunity for the first choice 23 to impress before the series kicks off in Auckland on 24 June, but has been withdrawn just hours after the team was confirmed.
Farrell had started just one of the Lions' opening four matches, playing 124 minutes on tour prior to picking up the injury. He was largely expected to start at number 10 against the world champions at Eden Park ahead of Ireland's Johnny Sexton, however the match against the Maori would have given coach Warren Gatland an opportunity to observe a possible 10-12 partnership between the pair. Wales' Dan Biggar comes in for Farrell on the bench where captain Sam Warburton is also included.
The out-of-form Sexton starts at the Rotorua International Stadium in tandem with fellow countryman Conor Murray at scrum half while Pete O'Mahony has been named as captain for a game which will represent the clearest indicator yet as to the Lions' chances of staging a first series win over the Kiwis since 1971.
Medical staff have classed the injury as a grade one strain, which would normally require 10 days of recovery before a full return to competition. Farrell therefore faces a race against time to be fit for the first test in nine days time and the news is the latest setback on what has been a nightmare tour for the Lions.
British and Irish Lions fixtures [8:35am BST kick-off time unless otherwise stated] Saturday 17 June – New Zealand Maori – International Stadium, Rotorua Tuesday 20 June – Chiefs– Waikato Stadium, Hamilton Saturday 24 June – New Zealand– First Test, Eden Park, Auckland Tuesday 27 June – Hurricanes – Westpac Stadium, Wellington Saturday 1 July – New Zealand – Second Test, Westpac Stadium, Wellington Saturday 8 July – New Zealand – Third Test, Eden Park, Auckland
Number eight Billy Vunipola pulled out of the squad prior to travelling to New Zealand due to a shoulder injury, while Six Nations player of the tournament Stuart Hogg was ruled out this week with a cheek injury. Though Farrell's future on the tour is not in any immediate doubt, he faces missing what could be one of the defining games of his rugby career.
On the field, the Lions' fortunes have been similarly torturous having lost two of their four warm-up games. Victory over the New Zealand Provincial Barbarians was followed by defeat to the Super 12 side the Blues, before a narrow win against the Crusaders. The latest mid-week game saw them defeated 23-22 by the Highlanders in Dunedin, raising questions over whether they can compete with Steve Hansen's star-studded All Blacks across three games.

They're accused of holding Capone naked in a bathtub for 30 hours without food. Authorities say they also forced McCrackin to write a $10,000 check to Neal.
It wasn't clear if the suspects had attorneys to comment.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — A capital murder charge has been dismissed against a North Texas man in the death of his 2-year-old daughter, after prosecutors learned her then-5-year-old brother said he caused her death.
Anthony Michael Sanders was accused of smothering his daughter, Ellie Mae, at their home in the Fort Worth suburb of Watauga in 2015. Investigators believed Sanders held his hand over her mouth out of anger for her interrupting his computer games.
Jailed since April 2016, Sanders denied responsibility. He said he found his daughter not breathing after his son reported she wouldn’t wake up.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports prosecutors recently learned the boy told his mother he was responsible. Investigators say the boy cried as he told them he accidentally rolled a heavy pillow onto his sister’s face while they played and it was too heavy for him to move.

Question: Kylie Jenner wants 'more privacy' during pregnancy

Kylie Jenner wants "more privacy" now she is pregnant.
The 20-year-old television personality, who is reportedly expecting a baby girl with her boyfriend Travis Scott, prefers to stay indoors and have her friends and family come to visit her in the comfort of her own home because she wants to stay out of the public eye during her pregnancy.
Speaking about the 'Life Of Kylie' star to PEOPLE, a source said: "Kylie prefers to stay home. She feels good, but her body is changing. She doesn't want to be photographed. At the moment, she wants more privacy. She has family and friends come to her house instead so she has company."
Although the Kylie Cosmetics founder - who is the youngest of the Kardashian/Jenner brood - wants to keep a low profile in the upcoming weeks, she is believed to be "very excited" about motherhood as she talks about her baby "nonstop" and is shopping like "crazy" for her first child.
The insider continued: "She is very excited about the baby though. "She talks about the baby nonstop. She is already shopping like crazy."
The beauty mogul is not the only member of the family who is starting a family, as Kylie's older half sister Khloe Kardashian, 33, is pregnant with her and Tristan Thompson's child, whilst Kim Kardashian West is having a third child via a surrogate.
Although three of the siblings are pregnant, there is reportedly "no jealousy" between any of them, as they all hope as the babies grow up they will have more of a sibling bond.
A separate source previously said: "Kim is really into the idea of a bunch of babies being born around the same time. She thinks they'll be more like sisters than cousins. Everyone in the family is just thrilled about the whole thing."

As if one Kardashian/Jenner reality show isn’t enough to watch, the youngest offspring of momager Kris secured her first lone reality series recently: Life of Kylie. And, despite the show being branded "hard to watch" and failing to wow viewers, it seems it has been picked up for a second series.
Kylie Jenner's own reality show, Life of Kylie, may get another series
As rumours and confirmations of multiple Kardashian/Jenner pregnancies continue to surface, show bosses felt it was a good idea to resurrect the show for a second time as "Kardashian pregnancies do well".
The 20-year-old had blamed her mom, Kris, for her flagging viewership and allegedly blamed the family for focusing more on the launch of her elder sister, Kim’s makeup launch than her debut show.
The premiere was panned by critics who said she failed to connect with audiences because of her flashy lifestyle.
MORE: Kylie Jenner And Travis Scott "Figuring Out Relationship"
However, Kylie has been given a lifeline following her rumoured pregnancy.
Speaking to Radar Online, a source said: "There is a very good chance it will continue because Kardashian pregnancies always do well."
The family certainly has enough of those to keep audiences interested for a while with Kim Kardashian confirming news of the imminent arrival of her third baby via surrogate with husband Kanye West due to in January.
The star currently shares four-year-old North West and 21-month-old Saint with the rapper.
Then, just days after rumours of Kylie’s pregnancy hit the headlines - her first with boyfriend, Travis Scott - it was speculated Khloe Kardashian was also expecting her first baby with basketball boyfriend Tristen Thompson.
MORE: So What Does Kris Jenner Really Think About Kylie's 'Pregnancy'?
Amongst all this good news, an insider hinted at a more sinister motive for Kylie’s exciting yet-to-be-made announcement.
The source said: "Many believe that Kylie’s motivation for getting pregnant with Travis Scott's baby was to get back at Tyga, but that is not actually the whole truth.
"Kylie was devastated by her spin-off's ratings, and knew that she needed something big if she was going to get another season."

Question: Researcher finds Georgia voter records exposed on internet

represent this text to find a news title for it

AP Photo/Alex Sanz
HOUSTON (AP) — A security researcher disclosed a gaping security hole at the outfit that manages Georgia’s election technology, days before the state holds a closely watched congressional runoff vote on June 20.
The security failure left the state’s 6.7 million voter records and other sensitive files exposed to hackers, and may have been left unpatched for seven months. The revealed files might have allowed attackers to plant malware and possibly rig votes or wreak chaos with voter rolls during elections.
Georgia is especially vulnerable to such disruption, as the entire state relies on antiquated touchscreen voting machines that provide no hardcopy record of votes, making it all but impossible to tell if anyone has manipulated the tallies.
The true dimensions of the failure were first reported Wednesday by Politico Magazine . The affected Center for Election Systems referred all questions to its host, Kennesaw State University, which declined comment. In March, the university had mischaracterized the flaw’s discovery as a security breach.
Logan Lamb, a 29-year-old Atlanta-based private security researcher formerly with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, made the discovery last August. He told The Associated Press he decided to go public after the publication last week of a classified National Security Agency report describing a sophisticated scheme, allegedly by Russian military intelligence, to infiltrate local U.S. elections systems using phishing emails.
The NSA report offered the most detailed account yet of an attempt by foreign agents to probe the rickety and poorly funded U.S. elections system. The Department of Homeland Security had previously reported attempts last year to gain unauthorized access to voter registration databases in 20 states – one of which, in Illinois, succeeded, though the state says no harm resulted.
It also emboldened Lamb to come forward with his findings. Lamb discovered the security hole – a misconfigured server – one day as he did a search of the Kennesaw State election-systems website. There, he found a directory open to the internet that contained not just the state voter database, but PDF files with instructions and passwords used by poll workers to sign into a central server used on Election Day, said Lamb.
“It was an open invitation to anybody pretending to even know a little bit about computers to get into the system,” said Marilyn Marks, an election-transparency activist whose Colorado-based foundation participated in a failed lawsuit that sought to bar the use of paperless voting machines in next week’s election.
The directory of files “was already indexed by Google,” Lamb said in an interview – meaning that anyone could have found it with the right search. Lamb said he notified the center’s director, Merle King, who assured him the hole would be patched and who asked to keep his discovery to himself.
Politico reported that the center never notified the secretary of state’s office, which oversees elections and contracts with Kennesaw State to manage the technology part. The Associated Press left a phone message and sent email to King seeking comment but he did not immediately respond.
Lamb said he decided not to disclose the problem at the time – mostly because he “didn’t want to needlessly escalate things” prior to the Nov. 8 general election. But in March, a security colleague Lamb had told about the flaw, checked out the center’s website and discovered that the vulnerabilities had only been partially fixed.
“We were both pretty floored,” said Lamb.
The researcher, Chris Grayson, said he, too, was able to access the same voter record database and other sensitive files in a publicly accessible directory. Grayson contacted a friend who is a professor at Kennesaw State. Two days later, the FBI was called in to investigate.
It did not bring charges against either researcher, finding no evidence of illegal entry . “At the end of the day we were doing what we thought was in the best interest of the republic – informing the parties that needed to be privy to this sort of issue,” said Grayson.
The special election next Tuesday will fill the seat vacated by Republican Tom Price after he was named Health and Human Services Secretary. It has attracted national attention, including that of President Donald Trump, for whom it could be a bellwether.
First-time candidate Jon Ossoff is a Democrat with a national security background. His GOP opponent is former Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel.

An online security breach at a national printing chain leaked thousands of sensitive documents — from labor filings involving NFL players to lawsuits against Hollywood studios to personal immigration-related papers — raising the possibility that private information could end up in the wrong hands.
The leak at PIP printing, which has more than 400 locations in 13 countries, went on for four months before it was repaired Tuesday, cybersecurity experts involved in investigating the breach told NBC News. But there's no evidence that any hackers may have stumbled upon the files to use them for malicious purposes, they add.
The documents, which NBC News examined, ranges from emails revealing credit card and social security numbers to legal filings such as depositions, subpoenas and labor lawsuits. Extensive medical records belonging to high-profile athletes were also at risk.

PIP owner Michael Bluestein told NBC News that the breach appeared to stem from a third-party IT firm that accidentally misconfigured the backup protocols — essentially leaving a "back door" open in the system.
"After discovering the breach, we acted quickly to lock down access to our database," Bluestein said. "We immediately strengthened our security controls. We changed all passwords, took offline all computers that may have been affected and brought in forensic IT experts."
Bluestein added that stronger-than-normal protections are being employed to further lock down the PIP system: "New firewalls are being installed. We are even going above the recommended security measures by also creating closed VPNs (virtual private networks) for our backup files," he said.
Bob Diachenko, whose firm Mackeeper Security Research Center investigated the breach, said it was first discovered in October.
The data breach potentially allowed access to sensitive labor filings on behalf of NFL players, such as disability claims with extensive HIPAA-protected medical records attached.
Leaked files included hundreds of medical records belonging to NFL players, along with social security numbers and other sensitive information. Redacted by NBC News. Nighswander, Matthew (502117585)
The NFL and the National Football League Players Association, a union for the players, both declined to comment on the private records of their athletes being exposed in the security breach.
One particularly salacious set of documents released in the leak pertained to a lawsuit filed against Hustler by a former male employee who claimed adult magazine publisher Larry Flynt's daughter sexually harassed him.
The suit was covered in the press after it was filed — but according to the leaked internal company documents, Hustler officially terminated the employee for failing to detect a "theft ring" at the Hustler Hollywood stores he oversaw as a district manager.
Hundreds of internal Hustler company documents were also leaked, including detailed sales records, profit and loss statements, company goals, and internal investigations relating to theft and human resources.
Hustler's parent company, LFP Publishing, did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
An EEOC filing with detailed sexual harassment charges against Hustler's parent company was among hundreds of Hustler legal documents. Redacted by NBC News.
In addition, a number of California-based law firms were affected in the breach, with papers related to immigration and lawsuits against powerhouse Hollywood studios among those leaked.
Mackeeper said the PIP breach can be attributed to a misconfigured "rsync" backup system — such vulnerabilities occur all-too frequently.
Over the past year, Mackeeper's security research team has discovered a number of leaks occurring through misconfigured rsync protocols including — but hardly limited to — footage of an inmate's death in a California jail, an exposed system at a North Carolina Emergency Medical Services department, and 11 gigabytes of sensitive data regarding Pentagon employees with the Special Operations Command.
Those discoveries weren't even listed in a year-end tally published by the blog IT Governance, which estimated at least 3.1 billion records leaked in 2016 alone through various breaches and hacking attacks.
Mackeeper's team — comprised of Diachenko, Chris Vickery and Jeremiah Fowler — spends about three hours each day scanning the internet for security faults using Shodan, a search engine that allows users to examine all internet-connected devices.
Diachenko said Mackeeper made multiple attempts to notify PIP's parent company, Franchise Services, without initial success.
"We try to identify the owner of the database/device and immediately report it to them," Diachenko said of Mackeeper's "responsible disclosure" policy. "Sometimes it takes weeks, sometimes — just a couple of minutes. Sometimes we got threats instead of a 'thank you,' so it is a challenging task."
Initial suspicion aimed at security researchers usually comes from companies who often don't understand that their data breach occurs within the system, not through hacking or any kind of outside attack.
Luckily, experts say, not many people have the computer literacy needed to stumble across such security faults — and so-called "white hats" like Diachenko hope that by routinely searching for them, they'll get to the leaks before data thieves do.
"Accessing rsync is almost as simple as accessing an ftp," Diachenko said in an email. "This is not an average user skill, but I would estimate that 1 of 10 users can do it.

At a federal court in Wisconsin, a British cybersecurity expert pleaded not guilty to charges over an alleged malware scheme to steal personal banking information.
Before these accusations, Marcus Hutchins was known for his role in finding the "kill switch" to the WannaCry ransomware cyber-attack last May that "threatened over 150 countries," NPR's Leila Fadel reported.
After today's hearing, Hutchins' lawyer Marcia Hofmann described him as a "brilliant young man and a hero," and said that "when the evidence comes to light, we are confident he will be fully vindicated."
The FBI took Hutchins into custody earlier this month in Las Vegas, where he had been attending a cybersecurity conference.
In July, a federal grand jury indicted him and an unnamed co-defendant on six counts dating from July 2014 to July 2015.
The indictment accuses Hutchins of creating the malware, which is called Kronos. The two co-defendents then allegedly advertised it on internet forums and sold it.
Hutchins is charged with "one count of conspiracy to commit computer fraud and abuse, three counts of distributing and advertising an electronic communication interception device, one count of endeavoring to intercept electronic communications, and one count of attempting to access a computer without authorization," as Leila reported.
She added that other members of his community were shocked at the accusations, because they are counter to his reputation as a person devoted to preventing this kind of attack.
Hutchins was "granted bail on 5 August after $30,000 ...was raised by friends and family," according to the BBC.
But his release comes with strict conditions, as detailed by The Associated Press:
"His bond has been modified so that he can stay in Los Angeles near his attorney and travel anywhere in the U.S., but he cannot leave the country. He was also granted access to use a computer for work, a change from an earlier judge's order barring him from using any device with access to the internet. Hutchins has been working for a network security company, according to prosecutors, who did not oppose allowing him access to a computer for work." "Hutchins is required to wear a GPS monitor, but [Magistrate Judge William] Duffin said the court will consider removing that requirement once Hutchins has found a home in Los Angeles and is complying with the terms of his bond."
The wire service adds that the next hearing is scheduled for Oct. 17.

Question: Arizona twins born in different years

Represent this text to find a news title for it.

GLENDALE, AZ - Arizona twins are going to have a unique story to tell for the rest of their lives after they were born in different years.
Holly and Brandon Shay weren’t expecting their boys to arrive for another few weeks, however, they were shocked when Banner Hospital in Glendale admitted them on New Year’s Eve.
After six exhausting hours of labor, their first son, Sawyer, was born at 11:51 p.m.
“I wanted to make sure he was OK, and they had to keep reminding me that I had to push," Holly said.
Just one minute after midnight on January 1, 2017, their second baby, Everett, was born.
The boys who previously shared nine months in the same space won’t be sharing a birthday -- or even their birth year.
“I think Sawyer might give his brother a hard time,” Brandon said. “I think it’s mostly going to be Sawyer teasing Everett over him being the eldest.”

'['Represent the title to find an explanatory news article', "OPINION: Buhari's Reunion with his Media Team, By Reuben Abati"]' == '['this news article should be represented to find a fitting news title.', 'OPINION: Buhari’s Reunion with his Media Team, By Reuben Abati\n(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – I was really excited on Saturday when I received news of the eventual visit of President Muhammadu Buhari’s media team to him in London. I had always felt that the exclusion of the media team from the London medical vacation and the various visits practically undermined the Presidential media office, and created the space for the mismanagement of the communication process around and about the President’s illness.\nI could never have imagined my own boss in our time, travelling without me or shutting me out of any important event. He took my team everywhere. Every President has what is called a Main Body. This comprises his first line of assistants, namely his Chief Security Officer, Aide-de-Camp, Chief Detail, Chief Physician, State Chief of Protocol, Personal Assistant (Luggage), Personal Assistant (Private matters), and of course, the Special Adviser (Media and Publicity)/Official Spokesperson.\nWhereas other parts of this body face their own challenges, the major problem that the President’s media team often faces is that everyone in the Presidency, and even persons from outside, particularly the na-my-brother-dey-there crowd tend to assume that they know a lot about the media. They probably have an uncle who once worked as a journalist or newspaper vendor, or they happen to know one or two editors or correspondents, who are perpetually telling them how the media team is not doing what it is supposed to do.\nWhile other parts of the President’s Main Body are usually civil servants, the Chief Physician and the Special Adviser (Media) are traditionally political appointees, and they are easily the targets of so many people who want their positions. My then colleague, the Chief Physician used to complain bitterly about how on many occasions he had to warn self-appointed physicians who used to recommend vitamins and other drugs for the President behind his back. In the corridors of power, the jostling for power, territory, and space could be psychologically crippling and emotionally corrosive.\nI recall in particular, how in those days, (indeed, yesterday is beginning to sound like those days!), some persons used to draw attention to how the media is managed in the US White House. After a while, I started asking them: “have you ever worked in this White House, that you talk so eloquently about?” Now, we have seen a different White House under President Donald Trump, and hence, when I call up “the White House experts”, their only response these days is that “it is not easy.” Of course, no part of Presidential work is easy.\nThere is also no standard formula for serving a President. No two presidencies are alike in any way. The nature and character of an executive Presidency is determined by the style/temperament/competence/choices of the individual President and the circumstances of his tenure, and it is these same factors that account for the differences between great, mediocre and bad Presidents. To each category, history is the eventual judge.\nNonetheless, I thought it was wrong to have kept President Buhari’s team out of the London trips. The core team should have been there all the time to take photographs, issue statements, if needed, organize video recordings, liaise with local journalists, and manage “inconvenient” journalism and public perception. But what did we have? The various pictures taken of the President until the visit by his media team, looked like photos taken by quacks. The President was presented as if he was a statue, or at best, as a sick man propped up for photographic effect. Nobody even paid attention to his wardrobe.\nI imagined that some characters would have filled the gap left by the absence of the media team, and would have been busy taking pictures with a miserable gadget, not knowing that photos are meant to tell stories and that they are taken with the brain. Whoever was behind that newspaper vendor style of journalism did the President a disservice and was responsible for most of the damage that was done. The real damage was that Nigerians did not believe the official narrative, they concluded that the pictures were photo-shopped or that they were old pictures and that there was an attempt to hoodwink the public. It didn’t help that whoever took those early pictures focused on the President’s weak points: his fingers and arms in a poor pose, for example.\nBut the game changed the day Bayo Omoboriowo accompanied seven governors to London to see the President. With five pictures, the President’s official photographer showed him in better light. The photographs presented him as a living being. Every Presidential assistant is as important as the amount of access and empowerment that he/she enjoys. Many Presidents undermine their media team, as US President Trump has done. I consider the visit to London by President Buhari’s media team, a form of rehabilitation, for the team and for the office. The meaning of that visit was not lost on the team either.\nAlhaji Lai Mohammed, on his arrival at the Abuja House, looked like he had been grinning about 100 metres away before he met the President. When the President extended his hands for a handshake, Alhaji Lai Mohammed did a Nigerian version of the Cameroonian Bidoung challenge. He bowed close to 90 degrees. Even when the President took another person’s hand, Lai Mohammed was still busy bowing. When the President praised him, he grinned so much, I thought he was going to prostrate! My brothers, Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu didn’t bow, they stayed professional, but I have never seen both former Presidents of the Nigerian Guild of Editors grin so enthusiastically!\nLauretta Onochie was probably the biggest beneficiary of the visit. Considered by opposition activists a footnote in the Presidency pretending to be a valuable attack dog, her inclusion in that trip has elevated her relevance. She still has a lot to learn on the job though, especially from the masters of the attack dog game in Nigerian politics: the inimitable and talented Femi Fani-Kayode, the grandmaster of this chivalric Order, Doyin Okupe, the senior warden of rebuttals, Lai Mohammed, Ayodele Fayose, Reno Omokri, Lere Olayinka, Deji Adeyanju, and Jude Ndukwe. Given the nature of Nigerian politics, future Nigerian presidents will certainly need the services of these dogged political fighters to complement the officialdom of Presidential spokesmanship.\nLauretta Onochie has a lot to learn from them, albeit she is doing much better than the pathetic play-safe crowd in the Buhari team but the London recognition should further empower her. Abike Dabiri-Erewa was also in London, curtseying with both legs and hands; she was described in the reports as Senior Special Assistant on Diaspora Matters, but I guess she was included in the team in her professional right as a seasoned broadcast journalist. Bayo Omoboriowo, the official photographer, was also in attendance and when it was his turn to have a Presidential handshake, he grinned and shook so much he almost staged an Olamide-inspired Wo-challenge. I hope he remembered to inform the President that his wife had just been delivered of twins and that being a father of twins has serious implications in Yorubaland!\nTogether, the team delivered a professional reportage. Brilliant. Different. Good moment for the Presidency’s Media Department. Whereas previous coverage before the Governors’ visit showed the President in an unconvincing manner, his media team has managed to show him in a three-dimensional frame. We saw him sitting, standing, and walking. He shook hands. He talked. His wardrobe was different. He appeared animated and alive. With that visit, many doubts have been laid to rest through the power of media. We now know that Buhari can talk. Dirty-minded persons may even stretch the matter and imagine that our President has been engaging in “the other room” skelewu in London. The media team has also managed to establish that medication or not, Buhari remains in charge. He is still President and he is not incapacitated.\nIn the kind of system that we run, there cannot be two Presidents at a time. When you have a living and breathing President, be he in Iceland or Antarctica, for whatever reason, he remains the President. This, thus, creates a special problem for Acting President Yemi Osinbajo. The combined interpretation of the to-ing and froing to London to visit President Buhari is the impression that whereas Acting President Osinbajo has an office, transmitted to him constitutionally in the light of Section 145 of the 1999 Constitution, he has neither the power nor the authority of that office, or he is not being allowed to enjoy the full benefits of his legal status. This puts Nigeria in a lurch, technically and pragmatically and let no one make any bones about that.\nWhat is worse is the declaration by the media team that the President’s return now lies in the hands of his doctors and he is resolved to obey their orders. It is tragic that Nigeria’s sovereignty, which resides in part in the office of the President, has been ceded to UK doctors. They alone can determine when Nigeria can have its President back in the homeland. Saddening as that situation is, not even the Queen of England or the British Prime Minister has deemed it necessary to visit President Buhari or seek audience with him.\nThis egregious insult is well-deserved by Nigeria and other African countries whose leaders embark on medical tourism to Europe, Asia and North America. The intelligence agencies in these countries have all the strategic information on our leaders and country, but we are happy to play third fiddle in global politics. In 2050, Nigeria’s population is likely to be over 300 million, with some of the youngest people in the world being Nigerians. If by 2050, we do not have enough good hospitals and medical facilities to take care of our people, we would be a doomed nation.\nThis is not a task for Buhari’s media team. But just as they tried to put out a fire in London, another had already started at home. By the way, a Presidential media department is a Fire Service office and an ambulance operation. There is always another fire next time and victims in need of desperate rescue. In the present instance, a group called “Our-mumu-don-do” group, led by Charly Boy, the self-acclaimed Area Fada of Frustrated Nigerians had begun a protest in Abuja asking President Buhari to resume office or resign.\nThey were echoing the protests of those who have argued that the Nigerian electorate voted for a President not an absentee one, that they voted in the expectation that their President would stay in office and serve them, and did not expect that the President would become an apparition or a London-based tourist and museum attraction. Charly Boy, 66, went out with his pro-democracy troops, but they were tear-gassed and harassed by the police. They were accused of engaging in unlawful pro-corruption and irresponsible activity that was hijacked by hoodlums. That of course is stupid talk.\nAt issue was the right of every Nigerian to protest without being molested, and the right to free speech. When free speech is denied, hate speech is encouraged. It is ironic that the same government that is so concerned about hate speech is the same one promoting it.\nMeanwhile, sycophantic speech is encouraged. To counter the Charly Boy group, someone organized a pro-Buhari group, which has been busy dancing around Abuja proclaiming that Buhari will win the 2019 election, denouncing those who want him to resign. I have taken a look at this group and they look like a bunch of hoodlums, every one of them, but they have so far enjoyed police protection and the government is very happy with them. When government gains one thing with one hand, some other characters remove it with another hand. This is the sign of the times.\nBut there are unresolved questions that will not go away just like that. For how long will the President remain on medical vacation in London, even when the Constitution, the country’s basic law, is silent and ambiguous on this score? What is the actual cost of the President’s absence in a context that disallows the transfer of power and authority in the presence of an apparently living and said-to-be-capable President who is otherwise indisposed?\nI’ll not ask that the visits to London be stopped, in case that is part of the doctors’ therapy, but it is ridiculous and insensitive that government officials are now visiting the President in medical exile, with some of them posing for photo-ops with their children. Our President should not be turned into a tourist attraction and the Abuja House in London should not become a museum.\nPlease follow and like us:']' != '['Represent the article to find a fitting news title.', 'Video clip shows past Nigerian leaders and current Vice President singing hymn for a greater, united and peaceful Nigeria in the year 2017.

Question: UN says people disappearing in northern Mexico border city

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title:

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Jessica Molina has not seen or heard from her husband since March, when Mexican marines broke through their door in Nuevo Laredo and took Trejo and a friend away.
Molina, a U.S. citizen, said Wednesday that her 41-year-old Mexican husband, Jose Daniel Trejo Garcia, is a mechanic with an established business in Laredo, Texas, where they live. They were only in Nuevo Laredo because she had recently had surgery in Monterrey and was returning to have stitches removed.
The office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights on Wednesday called on the Mexican government to "take urgent measures to stop the wave of forced disappearances in Nuevo Laredo and surrounding areas" and said "there are strong indications" that they were committed "by a federal security force."
The U.N. office documented the disappearance of 23 people since the start of February in Nuevo Laredo and said there could be many more. While it did not name those missing, Trejo Garcia is among those counted by the non-governmental Nuevo Laredo Human Rights Committee.
"We have documented 56 forced disappearances from Jan. 20 to May 21," said Raymundo Ramos, president of that group. "The majority are attributed to personnel from special operations of the navy."
Mexico's National Human Rights Commission said it had received complaints concerning the disappearance of 31 people since February, seven of them under 18, and was investigating those cases.
Neither Mexico's navy, which has contributed marines to the country's fight against drug violence, nor the Interior Department, which is in charge of domestic security, immediately responded to requests for comment.
Tensions were high in Nuevo Laredo when Trejo disappeared on March 27.
On March 25, marines had been ambushed three times by gunmen. One marine was killed and several wounded. During the third clash, a helicopter was called in. A family's car driving through a shootout was hit and a mother and two of her children were killed. The father and one boy were wounded, but survived.
The navy initially denied responsibility, but after an expert concluded the fatal shots came from above, it admitted its helicopter accidentally killed the civilians.
Molina said the marines who interrogated her and her husband at 1:30 a.m. on March 27 asked if they knew about what had happened in the helicopter incident. The couple explained why they were in Nuevo Laredo. Her husband showed them the business cards for his auto repair shop, but they took him away without any search warrant or arrest order, she said.
"They were aiming at our heads the whole time," she said. "They can deny what happened, but what I saw were well-trained, uniformed personnel."
The next morning she filed a report with the Attorney General's Office and the National Human Rights Commission. She went to the marine base, but they denied knowing anything about the incident.
Now Molina has joined with other families to search for hidden graves along the dirt roads surrounding Nuevo Laredo. This week they were accompanied by Federal Police for the first time, she said.
Among the cases documented by the U.N., were the disappearances of 21 males and two females, including at least five minors.
According to statements to U.N. investigators, the disappearances typically occur at night while the victims are walking along or driving on roads. Sometimes their burned and bullet-riddled vehicles are found on roadsides.
"Many of these people would have been detained arbitrarily and disappeared while going about their daily lives," said U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein. "It is particularly horrific that at least five of the victims were minors, three of them very young, only 14 years old. These crimes, perpetrated during four months in only one municipality, are outrageous."
According to federal data, there have been more than 6,000 registered disappearances in Tamaulipas since 2006, more than any other state. Earlier this month, protesters demanding government action about disappearances blocked a major commercial bridge connecting Nuevo Laredo with Texas.
Last week, Molina and other families met with a captain from the navy who promised to give them access to the marines' base and help them in their search, but there has not been any follow-up, she said. The navy is the primary security presence in Nuevo Laredo where the Northeast cartel, an offshoot of the Zetas, dominates.
"If the navy is here to protect us, what are they doing to avoid these disappearances?" Molina said. "How can this be happening in spite of their presence here?"

JOHANNESBURG - Police in Mozambique say 10 people have been beheaded in the country's north amid concerns that the machete-wielding attackers have links to Islamic extremism.
The Portuguese news agency Lusa cites police as saying Sunday's attack occurred near the rural community of Olumbi and that the suspects are being pursued. The dead include two teenagers.
This is not the first time fears have been raised over suspected extremist attacks in the remote north of the largely impoverished southern African nation.
