Editor's note: This story was originally published after Lane Kiffin took the Florida Atlantic head coaching job.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Lane Kiffin knows the rap as well as he knows the holes in most of the defenses he's faced over the years.
It goes something like this: son of an NFL coaching legend. Born on third base with head-coaching opportunities falling at his feet before a lot of people have their student loans paid off. Maddeningly immature. Maddeningly brilliant. Not real interested in doing things the conventional way. Brimming with the kind of in-your-face confidence that can be both obnoxious and genius.
"I know what the narrative is out there, [but] it's not that I've tried to be that guy who stirs things up," Kiffin told ESPN.com earlier this year. "I guess it just comes naturally."
So does being one of the brightest offensive minds in the game. One SEC athletic director calls Kiffin a "football savant" and one of those coaches who just always seems to be a step ahead any time he's calling plays or planning for an opponent.
"There's a reason he had all those opportunities at such a young age," said the athletic director, wishing to remain anonymous. "I don't think anybody has ever questioned his X's and O's ability, his ability to recruit or his ability to coach.
"My question would be: Could I trust him? I could live with all the other stuff, but does he have the right character to lead a program? I think he's probably matured, but I couldn't say for sure. I would guess there are a lot of other ADs out there, guys who would like to hire him, wrestling with that same question."
It's a question that has dogged Kiffin ever since he was fired on the LAX tarmac by then-USC athletic director Pat Haden five games into the 2013 season. After all, Kiffin was the Oakland Raiders' head coach at 31, Tennessee's head coach at 33 and USC's head coach at 34. He lasted less than a combined six seasons at the three stops, though he left Tennessee after just one season to take the USC job, where he inherited severe NCAA sanctions.
Now, after three seasons of helping Nick Saban add to his championship hardware at Alabama -- and going back to school, so to speak, under one of college football's all-time great coaches -- the shades-wearing, Bitmoji-tweeting Kiffin gets another shot at running his own shop. He's agreed to become Florida Atlantic's next head coach, sources told ESPN.com. Kiffin was also a finalist for the Houston head-coaching job, but the Cougars stayed in-house and hired offensive coordinator Major Applewhite last week.
It's true that schools weren't beating down Kiffin's door with head-coaching opportunities, and had it not been for the Conference USA Owls, he probably would have been shut out for a third straight year. In a lot of ways, he was stuck in head-coaching purgatory. Most football people were sure of his ability to recruit, develop players and get a team ready for games. But just as many administrators and presidents weren't so sure about his ability to wear all of the hats it takes to manage a program. Saban believes Kiffin is ready and answered "absolutely" when asked after Alabama's SEC championship rout of Florida if Kiffin was equipped to take that step -- again. Earlier this year, Saban echoed to ESPN.com what others had already suggested, that maybe too much came too soon for Kiffin, who's now 41.
"The thing you've got to remember about Lane is that his first head-coaching job came before a lot of guys get their first coordinator job," Saban said. "I think back to some of the mistakes I made as a younger head coach. Experience is the greatest teacher, and sometimes we all need to be knocked down a little bit before we get it right."
The whole Kiffin-Saban pairing is still hard for many to digest. On the surface, they're about as much alike as the wishbone offense and the spread. But Saban was secure enough and wise enough to bring Kiffin in to help fine-tune the Crimson Tide's offense. And Kiffin was brazen enough to challenge Saban -- and even fight with him on occasion -- to steer the offense in a direction nobody would have dreamed of five years ago.
Alabama is spreading teams out, using tempo (the same tempo Saban once railed against) and running the quarterback, all while still pounding people when needed and generating the kind of balance on offense all teams crave. During Kiffin's three seasons in Tuscaloosa, the Tide have won three straight SEC championships with three starting quarterbacks and three first-time starters, including true freshman Jalen Hurts this season.
"Lane has made them much more difficult to defend," Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said. "They've always been able to line up and beat you because they're just better. But you watch them now, and they're doing things and you're getting looks that you never got from them in the past. You didn't have to worry about them going empty backfield and trying to get a tailback running a [pass route] on a linebacker or them trying to get their quarterback on the edge in a run-pass option.
"You've got a lot of worries now defensively when you face Alabama."
Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason was previously the defensive coordinator at Stanford and matched wits against Kiffin when he was the USC head coach. The thing Mason always admired about Kiffin was that he had all of the creativity in his repertoire but that he never got away from his core belief of running the football and being physical.
"I love what Lane does offensively. He was always the hardest guy for me to defend in the Pac-12 because he made you defend everything," Mason said. "He can make one personnel set look like something else. He's always going to know how to use his tight ends, always going to have a dominant No. 1 at receiver and a flurry of running backs he uses in different ways.
"What everybody's doing in this conference now, Lane was doing six years ago. It's not new football."
Kiffin jokes it was worth some of the "ass-chewings" he absorbed from Saban to open up the Alabama offense and try some new things. To be fair, Saban was all for adapting on offense as the college game has continued to evolve, but Kiffin has a way of pushing the envelope.
Lance Barnett, the father of former Alabama quarterback Blake Barnett, said the tug-of-war between Kiffin and Saban made for some interesting theater.
"It was a little bit of oil and water there with Nick and Lane, but kudos to them both for making it work," said Barnett, whose son plans to transfer to Arizona State. "Lane's a free-flowing kind of guy and loves to push people's buttons, and Blake said Lane was great at pushing Nick's buttons. He said it was almost comical at times, but they've been good for each other. You see Lane's influence on the offense because they're not running any of the plays Blake studied for the last year and a half. Lane has taken Jalen's strengths and built around them, and that's what good coaches do.
"But over and above everything else, Blake was most impressed with Lane's feel for the game. His ability to assess what was happening on the field and change the offense on the fly and create favorable matchups was phenomenal."
Kiffin hasn't just pushed Saban's buttons during his time in Tuscaloosa. He has a penchant for pushing everybody's buttons, to the point that many of his colleagues on the Alabama staff never expected him to make it very long with Saban.
One coach who worked alongside Kiffin on the Alabama staff said the offensive coordinator almost seemed to revel in being a rebel, but that was also a big part of his success.
"Some people couldn't stand him, but he's smart, and I mean real smart," the coach said. "One of the reasons he is such a good playcaller is that he has no fear of consequences, in football and in life.
"Success has come very easy for him, but so has failure."
Kiffin is the first to admit that he probably should have asked more questions and listened more during his previous head-coaching stops.
"I'd been around Pete [Carroll] and saw how he did it, and that was great," Kiffin said. "But coming to Alabama and being under Coach Saban gave me an even different perspective. Every head coach has his own style, things they believe in, and now I've seen it done by two of the best in the game with two completely different styles. There's no question in my mind that I'm better-equipped to be a head coach."
New LSU head coach Ed Orgeron has known Kiffin for 15 years and still remembers Carroll bringing the young coach aboard the USC staff in 2001 after meeting Kiffin when he was a graduate assistant at Colorado State.
"He's always been smart, very aware of everything around him, and the last thing you want to do is make him mad," said Orgeron, who worked with Kiffin at both USC and Tennessee. "Lane gets devious if you screw with him. He won't let you know, but he's coming after your ass."
Orgeron's plan was to bring Kiffin to LSU as offensive coordinator if Kiffin were unable to get a head coaching gig. Probably one of the worst-kept secrets in Tuscaloosa was that Kiffin, one way or the other, wasn't going to be back at Alabama after this season. As someone close to the situation said, "There's a window in every relationship, and for both Saban and Kiffin, that window was just about closed."
While Kiffin has been known to ruffle feathers, be it Urban Meyer's or Steve Spurrier's, he's generally been a hit among the players he's coached and the support staffs he's worked with.
His sense of humor is legendary (and biting) to those who know him best. He was asked during the Olympics last summer whether he saw Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt's most recent race and what he would be able to do with Bolt's incredible speed in his offense. Kiffin cracked: "I didn't even know the Olympics were going on. I coach football at Alabama."
One of his best stunts came during his first season at Alabama in 2014, when he made his first trip back to Knoxville, Tennessee. The Alabama team was staying at the Airport Hilton Hotel, which is just outside of Knoxville in Alcoa. Kiffin called one of his buddies still working at Tennessee and asked to be picked up out in front of the hotel later Friday night and to have a hat and sunglasses as a disguise -- they were hitting the town in Knoxville.
Kiffin's buddy at Tennessee still chuckles: "That's Lane. He was joking. At least, I think he was joking."
There were no Kiffin sightings that night in Knoxville. He did his damage that next evening in Neyland Stadium, when Alabama beat Tennessee 34-20 and rolled up 469 yards of offense, including a school-record 224 receiving yards and two touchdowns by receiver Amari Cooper.
That's another calling card of Kiffin's. He has a basketball mentality as a playcaller. If somebody's hot, he's going to keep feeding that player.
"Coach Kiffin doesn't make it too complicated," Cooper said. "He knows who he wants to get the ball to and how he wants to get the ball to them. As a player, you love that. You know if you're delivering, he's going to keep coming back to you, and it's going to be a little different every time."
One former assistant coach said Kiffin was at his best with the players.
"He has an uncanny ability to lead players and to game plan and draw up X's and O's in a way that they get it. He does not lead adults very well," the coach said.
His turbulent 14-month stay at Tennessee is proof. Kiffin did a fabulous job of revitalizing quarterback Jonathan Crompton, who went from a liability to being taken in the fifth round of the NFL draft. The Vols also played well on the field and nearly upset Alabama that season.
But as a manager of the program, Kiffin created his share of unwanted drama, whether it was flippantly racking up NCAA secondary violations, incorrectly accusing Meyer of breaking NCAA rules or being accused, himself, of telling receiver Alshon Jeffery during the recruiting process that Jeffery would end up pumping gas for a living if he went to South Carolina. Kiffin later denied saying that to Jeffery. Even rapper Lil Wayne dropped Kiffin's name in one of his songs with the infamous, "Smoke weed. Talk s--- like Lane Kiffin."
Kiffin's response at the time to being referenced in a rap song was classic.
"It's nice to see we're getting a little street cred," he joked.
That mischievous side of Kiffin hasn't completely gone away in Tuscaloosa. Who can forget Kiffin tweeting a picture of his son, Knox, doing Cam Newton's signature dab after Alabama beat Auburn last season at Jordan-Hare Stadium with Newton in the house?
"It's that kind of stuff that drives [Saban] crazy, but it's also part of the give-and-take with Lane," one former Alabama staff member said. "He's always doing or saying something like that. It's almost like he can't help himself. But then you get in the games, and he's a big reason you're winning."
Multiple athletic directors told ESPN.com for this story that Kiffin would probably be better off in a bigger city where he blended in, as opposed to being in a smaller college town where his every move was recorded and scrutinized.
"It may just be because Nick has put the clamps on him, but I don't think he's seen as the brash, immature guy that he once was," one athletic director told ESPN.com. "He just has to be smart. He really probably needs to go somewhere other than the SEC, at least this next job. He probably needs to be somewhere that doesn't care quite as much about football and the personalities that go along with it.
"There are markets where you can find that and markets where I think he would go in and clean up."
We'll find out soon enough whether the fourth time is indeed a head-coaching charm for Kiffin, who's just ready for another opportunity.
"I'm probably guilty of getting in my own way too many times, making it harder on myself," Kiffin said earlier this year. "I can't change what's behind me but look forward to what's ahead."
And, yes, he's ready to do it his way again, but his way in a refined sense. Consider it life after 40 because life before 40 -- at least as a head coach -- left us all hanging.

Lane Kiffin will not coach Alabama's offense in the National Championship, Nick Saban announced Monday.
"We appreciated all that Lane has done for our football program over the last three years. We sat down following the Washington game and talked about the time demands of managing both jobs, and we recogized that it is best for our players, and for Lane, that we allow him to turn his full attention to his new head coaching role at FAU," Saban said in a statement.
"This wasn't an easy decision and we appreciate the way Lane handled this in terms of doing what is best for our team. At the end of the day, both of us wanted to put our players in the best position to be successful. Obviously, we are in a unique situation here where we have our next offensive coordinator already on staff. We have full confience that Sark will step in right away and make this a smooth transition."

Not shocked Nick Saban has made this move now.. Heard there was LOTS of drama inside the #Alabama program with Lane Kiffin in the past week. — Bruce Feldman (@BruceFeldmanCFB) January 2, 2017
The news to let Kiffin go ahead of the title game came as a surprise to many in the college football community. It's not often you see a team fire its offensive coordinator a week before the biggest game of the season.
Alabama will play Clemson next Monday at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

Question: Fresno State professor who bashed Barbara Bush won't be disciplined

A Fresno State University professor who celebrated the death of Barbara Bush in a profanity-laced rant on Twitter will not be disciplined, the university's president said in a statement late Tuesday.
In a note to the "campus community," Joseph Castro said that English instructor Randa Jarrar's comments about the late first lady were "insensitive, inappropriate and an embarrassment to the university," but "are protected free speech under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution."
Castro added that Jarrar would remain on leave through the spring semester, "which she had previously requested before this incident."
PETITION TO FIRE FRESNO STATE PROFESSOR ATTRACTS THOUSANDS OF SIGNATURES
Jarrar drew outrage when she tweeted hours after Bush's death on April 17 that the wife of one president and mother of another was "a generous and smart and amazing racist who, along with her husband, raised a war criminal." She added, "F--- outta here with your nice words."
Jarrar also said she was happy that "the witch is dead" and bragged that she wouldn't be fired for her remarks because she had tenure.
"I make 100K a year doing that," she told one Twitter user. "i[sic] will never be fired. i[sic] will always have people wanting to hear what I have to say."
PROFESSOR WHO TWEETED ANTI-BARBARA BUSH COMMENT APPLAUDED AT ARTS FESTIVAL
In his letter, Castro wrote that the university's action "is an issue of free speech and not related to [Jarrar's] job or tenure."
A change.org petition calling for Jarrar to be fired had garnered more than 45,000 signatures as of Tuesday evening.
"Our duty as Americans and as educators is to promote a free exchange of diverse views, even if we disagree with them," Castro wrote near the end of his letter. "At Fresno State, we encourage opinions and ideas to be expressed in a manner that informs, enlightens and educates without being disparaging of others."

Question: California uses late run to pull away and beat Arizona State

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) Grant Mullins scored a career-high 20 points to lead four players in double figures and California pulled away late in the second half to beat Arizona State 81-65 on Sunday night.
Ivan Rabb had 20 points, 15 rebounds and five assists for his sixth double-double of the season despite being in foul trouble. Jabari Bird added 16 points and Sam Singer scored 10 to help the Golden Bears (10-4, 1-1 Pac-12) snap a two-game losing streak.
Rabb was on the bench with his fourth foul when California made its game-changing run.
The Bears trailed 61-60 before Singer’s free throw tied it with 5:45 left. Bird followed with a one-handed dunk and Kingsley Okoroh added his own emphatic dunk and California made its final eight shots while outscoring Arizona State 21-4 down the stretch.
Obinna Oleka had 18 points and five rebounds while Tra Holder scored 14 points for the Sun Devils (8-7, 1-1).
Arizona State was attempting to go 2-0 in conference for only the fifth time in program history but struggled to score in the second half and was held 18 points below its season average of 83.5.
California, coming off consecutive losses to No. 12 Virginia last week and No. 18 Arizona on Friday, made 11 3-pointers – one shy of its season high while holding the Sun Devils to 7-of-24 beyond the arc.
The Bears made only eight combined 3s in their previous two games but had seven in the first half against the Sun Devils. Rabb and Mullins had two apiece while Charlie Moore’s 3-pointer helped California take a 38-37 halftime lead.
Rabb notched his double-double before halftime with 16 points and 10 rebounds. He was limited to 12 minutes after the break with foul trouble, however.
Mullins, whose previous season high was 17 against UC Davis on Dec. 10, 2016, picked up the scoring slack along with Bird. Bird had nine of his points during the decisive run, including the final four to help California win for just the third time in the last eight games against Arizona State.
BIG PICTURE
Arizona State: Coach Bobby Hurley’s squad wasn’t as efficient on offense as it had been, shooting 40 percent overall and only 29.2 percent on 3s. The Sun Devils had three one-and-one opportunities during a 15-second span midway through the second half but were held to just one field goal over the final 9:44.
California: Rabb set the tone early before fouls slowed him up and showed some range with his jumper he hadn’t previously exhibited. His two 3-pointers are a career-high after he had previously only attempted two 3s all season and just four for his career.
UP NEXT
Arizona State: Returns home to host Colorado on Thursday night.
California: The Bears go on the road for the first time since early December and play at UCLA on Thursday.

The Hawks rode strong defensive efforts and the big-play ability of their offense to dethrone the Mustangs 41-21 at AT&T Stadium on Friday afternoon.

Question: US WWII vet in Japan to return flag to fallen soldier family

represent the article to find a fitting news title

HIGASHISHIRAKAWA, Japan (AP) — The former U.S. Marine knew the calligraphy-covered flag he took from a fallen Japanese soldier 73 years ago was more than a keepsake of World War II. It was a treasure that would fill a void for the dead man’s family. But Marvin Strombo did not know how deep that void was.
The flag he is to hand over to Sadao Yasue’s younger brother Tatsuo and his relatives Tuesday will be the first trace of their brother. The Japanese authorities only gave them a wooden box containing a few rocks, a substitution for the remains that have never been found.
Strombo has said he also wanted to tell the family his observation of their brother at the scene.
Strombo, 93, who was part of an elite scout-sniper platoon fighting a 1944 battle on Saipan, spotted a dead Japanese soldier lying on the ground, with something white poking out from his jacket. He could tell it was “something special.” He initially hesitated, but took it because if he didn’t someone else would or it may get lost forever. He told the soldier he would return it to his family someday.
The flag’s white background is filled with signatures of 180 friends and neighbors in this tea-growing mountain village of Higashishirakawa, wishing Yasue’s safe return. “Good luck forever at the battlefield,” a message on it reads. Looking at the names and their handwriting, Yasue clearly recalls their faces and friendship with his brother.
“The flag will be our treasure,” Tatsuya Yasue, a younger brother of the fallen soldier, told the Associated Press at his 400-year-old house. The 89-year-old farmer says the return of the flag brings a closure to him and his brother.
“It’s like the war has finally ended and my brother can come out of the limbo,” he said.
Yasue last saw his older brother alive the day before he left for the South Pacific in 1943. Tatsuya and two siblings had a small send-off picnic for the oldest brother outside his military unit over sushi and Japanese sweet mochi, which became their last meal together. At the end of the meeting, his brother lowered his voice, asking Tetsuya to take good care of their parents, as he would be sent to the Pacific islands, harsh battlegrounds where chances of survival were low.
A year later, the wooden box containing the stones arrived. Months after the war ended, the authorities told Yasue his brother died somewhere in the Marianas on July 18, 1944, at age 25.
“That’s all we were told about my brother, and we could only imagine what might have happened,” he said. Yasue and his relatives wondered Sadao might have died at sea off Saipan. About 20 years ago, Yasue visited Saipan with his younger brother, imagining what their older brother might have gone through.
Strombo is the only person who can provide those answers. He can roughly show where he found Yasue’s body on the outskirts of Garapan and can tell the siblings that their brother likely died of a concussion from a mortar round. At least the flag and his story suggest Yasue died on the ground, which raises hopes of retrieving his remains.
The remains of nearly half of 2.4 million Japanese war-dead overseas have yet to be found 72 years after the World War II ended. It’s a pressing issue as the bereaved families reach old age and memories fade.
Allied troops frequently took the flags from the bodies of their enemies as souvenirs. But to the Japanese bereaved families, they have a much deeper meaning, especially those, like Yasue, who never learned how their loved ones died and never received remains. Japanese government has requested auction sites to stop trading wartime signed flags.
Strombo had the flag hung in a glass-fronted gun cabinet in his home in Montana for years, a topic of conversation for visitors. He was in the battles of Saipan, Tarawa and Tinian, which chipped away at Japan’s control of islands in the Pacific and paved the way for U.S. victory.
In 2012, he was connected to an Oregon-based nonprofit Obon Society that helps U.S. veterans and their descendants return Japanese flags to the families of fallen soldiers. The group’s research traced it to the tea-growing village of 2,300 people in central Japan by analyzing family names.

Adrian Gonzalez dives headfirst into home, seems to beat the tag by Cubs catcher Willson Contreras, but is called out. Safe, shout fans at Dodger Stadium who see replays on the board.

Under one possible scenario, they would start at the All-Star Game on July 11 in Miami, tweak the process over the season’s second half and then go forward with the experiment in the playoffs.
People familiar with the talks spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because an agreement has not yet been reached.
Last year, MLB asked for the plate ump to wear a mic at the All-Star Game, but there wasn’t enough time to do it.
The umpires are in the middle of their five-year labor deal and any change would involve negotiations, plus a comfort level on both sides that the system would be efficient, accurate and easy.
So no way to say for sure if fans at Camden Yards, Coors Field and ballparks across the majors will become familiar with the voices of veteran crew chiefs — be it country singer Joe West, ordained minister Ted Barrett or Dale Scott, once a Top 40 AM radio disc jockey.
“It probably would be nice to get a little more explanation,” Marlins reliever Brad Ziegler said. “They’re supposed to say the call stands or the call’s confirmed. ‘The call stands’ means you can’t tell. A lot of times we don’t get that … they just signal out or safe. That’s all we get on the field.
“They may announce it on the PA, but it doesn’t seem like that is consistent in all parks. And the acoustics in the stadium here — we have a hard time hearing what’s on the PA in the bullpen,” he said.
In the NFL, hearing refs announce “upon further review” has long been part of the lexicon. The lore includes what Ben Dreith said in a 1986 game, when Jets lineman Marty Lyons tangled with Buffalo quarterback Jim Kelly and was penalized for “giving him the business down there.”
The NHL for some time has mic’ed up officials to explain coach’s challenges, based on what the central replay booth tells them.
NBA crew chiefs put on headsets to watch reviews and talk with the replay center. Decisions are explained to the official scorer’s table and the benches, and the public address announcers inform the crowd.
MLB has tried to speed up reviews this year, aiming for the umpires in the New York replay booth to relay the final calls to the field in under 2 minutes.
“It’ll take more time,” Boston pitcher David Price said. “It’s not going to make them any shorter.”
As for making the replay system more informative and entertaining, “Yeah, until they have a problem with the umpire’s mic,” he said.
Marlins star Christian Yelich said a switch wouldn’t affect him.
“The call’s the call,” he said. “Just because they tell you what they decided isn’t going to change it.”

Question: Burn survivor stunned by orangutan’s reaction to her scars at Indianapolis Zoo

Please enable Javascript to watch this video
INDIANAPOLIS – A woman who was badly burned in an accident is receiving international attention after an interaction she had with a curious orangutan at the Indianapolis Zoo, according to WXIN.
Darci Miller was working in her backyard on May 5, 2015 when she tried to clear out some garbage by burning it, accidentally igniting some gas fumes in the process.
She was hospitalized for three weeks and underwent multiple surgeries.
"I was in a coma for nine days," Miller said.
The majority of the burns were on her upper arms, chest and face. She recovered well, and she was eventually allowed to go home as long as she was under 24-hour care.
She’s had numerous surgeries since then in order to get more range of motion in her neck and arms.
On June 14, 2017, she traveled to Indianapolis with her fiancé Jason Costello for an appointment at the burn center. They had some free time, so they decided to go to the Indianapolis Zoo. Miller told WXIN it had been years since she last visited the zoo, so she wanted to check out the new orangutan exhibit.
That's where Miller met Rocky. The orangutan appeared to be fascinated with Miller and her injuries.
"He immediately spotted me and came over to the window and was very engulfed in everything I had going on," said Miller. "It was kind of a guessing game. He was just pointing to everything so I was just showing him the bandages on my neck, and my tattoos and the burns on my arms."
One of the zookeepers told Miller that Rocky is very inquisitive, and he’s very interested by tattoos or anything out of the ordinary.
Miller told WXIN she was thinking, “There is no way this is possible. Is this real?”
Miller says she spent 20 minutes in the exhibit interacting with Rocky. She left with Costello to explore other areas of the zoo, but they stopped by the orangutan exhibit one last time before leaving. She said Rocky immediately came to the window to greet them, and it was clear he recognized her.
Miller says the past few years have definitely been filled with ups and downs, and this interaction was definitely one of the ups.
“This day made me feel really good about myself,” Miller said.
Zoo officials have also seen the video. A spokesperson issued the following statement about the interaction between Rocky and Miller:
"Like all orangutans, Rocky is observant and curious. Our orangutans eagerly interact and communicate with people they know well, such as their caregivers. Rocky is a bit different. He regularly interacts with people he may not know. The exchange in the video is a great example of this. Rocky is communicating with the woman in the video, and shows a clear sense of urgency when he gestures towards her injury. We can’t say what was going through his mind at the time, but his behavior demonstrates strong interest and concern. There is no doubt that this was an important interaction for him, and his gestures to the woman clearly communicate that."
The attention is nothing new for Rocky. The 12-year-old orangutan has gotten national attention for mimicking human sounds, the first known orangutan to do so. He's also had a photo shoot where he was paired up with the singer Fergie.
Miller said she has offered to help firefighters show young students the dangers of fire. She's also looking forward to meeting Rocky again and seeing if she gets a similar reaction.

Talk about running wild!
A giraffe named Thabisa escaped her enclosure at the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo in Indiana, leading to some frolicking around in one of the zoo’s parking lots for the animal and a couple tense hours for staff.
Video from the Associated Press shows workers trying to herd the calf with large sheets.
The zoo announced via their Twitter account Monday afternoon, “It was a zoo here today (pun intended), but we are happy to report that Thabisa is safe and sound.”

“As many of you may know, Thabisa decided to have a little adventure today,” they said in a statement. “Thanks for all of your concern, but after realizing our nonpublic parking lot near the giraffe barn wasn’t all that exciting, she decided to go back into the barn all on her own. She remained on zoo property for the duration of her adventure, and is now resting safely behind the scenes.”

The Associated Press reported that it is unclear how Thabisa, who joined the zoo’s giraffe herd in November, escaped.

Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo said this was their first such incident in the four decades of having giraffes.
“We will re-evaluate our giraffe exhibit and take extra precautions to ensure the continued safety of our animals and staff,” the facility said.

Perhaps the zoo should take a cue from Japan’s Ueno Zoo and their famous (and viral) escaped animal drills. Each year, the zoo has a keeper dress up in an animal costume and run “rampant” before being “brought down” by their coworkers.

Question: Wetherspoons won’t charge your phone anymore

JD Wetherspoons has called time on a habit popular with many customers - asking staff to charge their mobile phones behind the bar.
The popular pub chain - famed for its curry club, fish Fridays and cut-price booze - have reportedly had enough of punters taking advantage of their hospitality by asking staff to juice up their mobiles at the bar.
And now they're introducing a nationwide ban.
A Wetherspoon spokesman said: "The bar itself is busy and we do not want people’s phones there.
"We also do not want the hassle of phones being handed over the bar for charging.
"If people wish to charge their phone in the pub, then that would be up to the discretion of the manager."
The statement implies that Wetherspoons would prefer if nobody charged their phone at the bar - but that specific pubs will decide for themselves.
So there you have it: if you're heading to Wetherspoons and planning on checking emails, surfing the internet, or maybe even tweeting a picture of your burger and pint, make sure your phone is fully charged.
Last week, Wetherspoons was accused of ripping off customers by charging twice as much at airport branches.
The pub chain - which has over 1,000 branches around the country - charges just £2.95 for a children's breakfast on the high street, but as much as £6.05 at Stansted airport.
Its traditional breakfast, meanwhile, costs £4.95 in a high street branch and £9.65 at London's Stansted.
A Wetherspoon spokesman said: “There is a mark up between our high street pubs, mainly as a result in the difference between rent and rates.
“Airports are at the top end of the scale in respect of these costs.”

Prosecco offers should be made the most of on December 22 – this is your Christmas warning PROSECCO at Christmas is almost as vital as the turkey and pigs in blankets in 2017.
If you want Prosecco at Christmas then you need to do so before December 23 [Marks and Spencer]
Offers and deals on Prosecco are everywhere this Christmas from Aldi to Sainsbury’s.
And while the super smart ones of us would have already stocked up on our Christmas fizz, there’s still plenty of us who will be running out to stock up last minute.
So if that’s the type of person you are, we have a word of warning for you, whatever you do, make sure you buy it on December 22 or before.
Why? Because according to the experts over at Sainsbury’s, they will be selling a record breaking amount of Prosecco and Champagne on Saturday December 23.
Retailers are expecting their biggest sales of Prosecco and Champagne on the weekend before Christmas [Getty]
In fact, they’ve even done the maths and are expecting to see 489,000 bottles fly off the shelves.
Tesco, Aldi and Waitrose are also expected to have high numbers of sales for festive bubbles.

This isn’t the only tip we’ve had for Prosecco in the lead up to Christmas as Martin Lewis also delivered a money-saving shocker on This Morning.
Prosecco is set to overtake Champagne as a drink of choice this Christmas [Getty]
Martin said: "Sainsbury's Prosecco Frizzante is £6 a bottle, you can do this with other alcohol at Sainsbury’s, but this is the one I like.
"Six pound a bottle at Sainsbury’s right now until Monday. Right now, if you buy six online, you get 25 per cent off. So that brings six bottles to £27but if you use the code, I’ll put this on the website, SCSSEONOV18 you get £18 off a £60 spend.”
Lidl have also brought out a magnum of Champagne for a purse-friendly price and experts have also been warning us against sipping Prosecco from a plastic glass.
If sparkling wine isn’t your thing, however, Baileys have also got a treat for their fans.

1. Apocalypse chow
You’ve got the storms and the hurricanes. You’ve got the fires and the floods. And you’ve got a generalized (and not-unfounded) anxiety that 2017 has been coming for you—and that 2018 might be worse. In other words, it’s a good time to be in the survivalist food business. From Bloomberg: Delightful Holiday Dinner Ideas for the Apocalypse. “The scene evokes Willy Wonka’s factory in part because the workers are achieving Wonkian ends. As a kid, I spent hours imagining the sensations of Roald Dahl’s three-course chewing gum invention “made of tomato soup, roast beef and baked potato, and blueberry pie.” This, too, is an attempt to create an all-in-one meal that bears little resemblance to the foods it conjures—a product that when combined with a serving of hot water simulates a home-cooked dinner.” Just give me an everlasting gobstopper and some decent WiFi, and I’ll be fine…
2. Victim and criminal
“Even rape victims are sometimes killed by their own relatives, who believe the shame attached to rape is worse than the suffering of the rape victim. ‘In Afghanistan, we are both the victim and the criminal. I can’t even tell my own family that I quit because of sexual harassment. Western women are so lucky.'” The NYT: Harassment All Around, Afghan Women Weigh Risks of Speaking Out.
+ “The use of rape by Myanmar’s armed forces has been sweeping and methodical.” AP: 21 Rohingya women recount rape by Myanmar armed forces.
3. Sign of the Times Square
“One suspect is in custody after detonating a pipe bomb strapped to his body in a busy corridor of New York City’s subway system on Monday morning, injuring himself and three other people in what officials have called a terror attack.”
+ “A law enforcement source says suspect Akayed Ullah told investigators recent Israeli actions in Gaza are the reason he carried out this morning’s attack in New York City.” Here’s the latest on the Times Square subway incident from CNN.
4. Coup de Louisville
“Perhaps more than any other place in America, Louisville came to embody the contradictions of college athletics — a multibillion-dollar industry built on amateur athletes. The Adidas partnership was supposed to be a crowning achievement that validated the university as a national power.” ESPN’s look at how a midlevel school became The University of Adidas at Louisville. (It’s worth noting that while Louisville took a hit, Adidas is hotter than ever…)
5. The crimson tidal wave
“When Beverly Nelson told her story on CNN about the night in the 1970s when she says Roy Moore sexually assaulted her, her voice quavered, and tears streamed down her face. ‘Instead of stopping, he began squeezing my neck,’ Nelson said, ‘to force my head onto his crotch.’ … Laughter breaks out around me.” Vox’s Brian Resnick spent the weekend talking to Roy Moore supporters in Alabama. Here’s how they see the world.
+ “I didn’t vote for Roy Moore. I wouldn’t vote for Roy Moore. I think the Republican Party can do better.” Alabama’s Richard Shelby speaks out against Roy Moore. Will that be enough? The splits among voting blocks are major and look pretty intractable. WaPo: Alabama’s desire not to be embarrassed may be the best thing going for Doug Jones.
+ Trump is less determined not to be embarrassed. Between a rally Friday night and a robocall over the weekend, the president has gone all in for Roy Moore.
+ “For us to put ourselves out there to try and show America who this man is and especially how he views women, and for them to say ‘meh, we don’t care,’ it hurts. And so now it’s just like, alright, let’s try round two. The environment’s different. Let’s try again.” Three Women Who Accused Trump Of Sexual Misconduct Speak Out Again.
+ “Despite all his bluster, he views himself less as a titan dominating the world stage than a maligned outsider engaged in a struggle to be taken seriously.” As a crazy year comes to a close, the NYT takes you inside Trump’s hour-by-hour battle for self-preservation. He spends 4-8 hours a day watching TV, and often Tweets at the same time. (I do the same. But I watch better TV and my Tweets haven’t set America back several decades.)
6. It’s a Vlad Vlad Vlad Vlad world
“The United States intelligence community is unanimous in its assessment not only that Russians interfered in the U.S. election but that, in the words of former FBI Director James Comey, ‘they will be back.’ It is a stunning escalation of hostilities for a troubled country whose elites still have only a tenuous grasp of American politics. And it is classically Putin, and classically Russian: using daring aggression to mask weakness, to avenge deep resentments, and, at all costs, to survive.” Julia Ioffe in The Atlantic: What Putin Really Wants.
+ For a quick overview of Putin’s strategies, listen to this excellent discussion between Preet Bharara and Garry Kasparov. Like all good prosecutors, Preet can get an amazing amount of information out of people with just a few questions. (And Kasparov is a particularly willing witness…)
7. Bone spur
Its “incredible run ended this morning with the release of a cheaper, generic version of the world’s first impotence-fighting pill. And what a run it was.” (It was more of a stand, than a run, but you get the point.) An Oral History of the little blue pill that changed sex and made billions. (Hey, you wanted more uplifting news…It’s just too bad I already used my everlasting gobstopper joke in today’s top item.)
8. The fire down below
“This could be something that happens every year or every few years. We’re about to have a firefighting Christmas.” Governor Jerry Brown calls the fires ripping across Southern California “the new normal.”
+ The fires “have destroyed more than 800 homes and buildings, forced at least 190,000 people to flee.” Here’s the latest from Buzzfeed.
9. Golden global
“The first movie theatres will be opened by March and it is intended that up to 2,000 screens will be in place within 12 years.” Saudi Arabia is lifting a 35-year ban on cinemas. (Too bad all the good stuff is on Netflix and HBO…)
+ Shape of Water and Big Little Lies lead the Golden Globe nominations. The Big Sick and Wonder Woman are among this year’s snubs and surprises.
10. Bottom of the news
“One day, he asked me, ‘How come I’m not on YouTube when all the other kids are?’ So we just decided — yeah, we can do that. Then, we took him to the store to get his very first toy — I think it was a Lego train set — and it all started from there.” Meet the
6-year-old who made $11 million in one year reviewing toys on YouTube.
+ “If I can go back over there … you’ll see me talking to him, and sitting down and having dinner, a glass of wine, laughing and doing my thing. I guess things will settle down a bit and everybody can rest at ease.” Dennis Rodman asks Trump for formal role as North Korea envoy. (Trump could name Rodman as the ambassador to North Korea and it wouldn’t even crack this year’s top hundred weirdest stories…)

Question: Virginia Shooting: Watch The Terrifying Moment Gunman Opens Fire On Congressmen

Graphic new video shows the horrific moment James T. Hodgkinson shot down Majority Whip Steve Scalise, as well as four others on a baseball field in Virginia. Watch at your own risk.
An intense new video from the scene where Steve Scalise, 51, was gunned down by an anti-Trump shooter. The video, which you can watch above, was EXCLUSIVELY obtained by the New York Post just hours after the shooting occurred on Wednesday, June 14. A witness to the terrifying event took video on his cell phone while laying on the ground at the Eugene Simpson Stadium Park, and it’s very difficult to watch. Although you can’t see anyone being shot, the video shows people running for their lives as the police try to apprehend the shooter, James T. Hodgkinson. “Do we know where he’s at?” the man filming asks the people around him. “He’s behind home plate,” another man responds.
As the video continues, the man filming asks if the man shot in the field is okay. “Is anyone talking to him?” the man asks, though he’s too far to communicate with the victim himself. A moment later there is more gunfire and then you hear what we can only assume are police officers demanding someone “stay down”. It’s unclear if they are speaking to a victim or the suspect. They tell the person over and over again to stay down, but then more gunfire rings out. Eventually the gunfire stops and you can hear more and more sirens as they arrive to the field. Before the video ends, you can see the victim in the field has a team of people around him. Again, it’s unclear exactly who is laying on the field in this video.
HollywoodLifers — Our thoughts remain with Steve and the other victims during this difficult time. Please leave your kind words and comments below.

Question: Grease will light up Brighton this Christmas!

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

Forget all the behind you’s and ugly sisters.
Grease will be the Christmas show at Brighton Theatre Royal as the venue continues its non-panto policy (December 11-31).
Leading the cast will Tom Parker, who spent six years in the boy band The Wanted and is now enjoying his first musical-theatre adventure.
Tom reckons the show will be the perfect Christmas treat.
“You picture Grease as a summer show, but actually I think it is one of those feel-good shows that will work brilliantly whatever time of year it is. You just come out of the show feeling happy!”
Tom certainly does.
“I was with The Wanted for six years, and theatre had never really crossed my path, but the producers of Grease came to my management and said would I like to come to audition for the Teen Angel part.
“I went along to the auditions and they came back and asked if I would like to play the part of Danny.
“I can’t say I had had a lot of theatre experience, but I went in with an open mind, and I worked on myself. I went to some acting classes, and I was just really keen to spread my wings.
“When you do something for so long, like I did with The Wanted, when you come out of it, it is a bit like going into the unknown.
“It was a scary time in some ways, but like I said, I was wanting to spread my wings, and this was just completely coincidental.”
Had he been cast as the Teen Angel, then undoubtedly, he would have been happy, Tom says. But now he is Danny, he wouldn’t take any other role. It’s a great part to play.
He quickly felt at home on the stage: “For someone that is used to being on the stage with a successful pop band, you do feel at home I think – even if you are doing something different.
“And Danny is such a fun character to play. It’s a really tough one to play, though. It’s such an iconic role. It’s about finding a balance between putting your own stamp on the character and also giving people what they want and know from John Travolta in the film.
“John Travolta made the character so iconic. You want to give people what they have come for, but also you don’t want to be just copying what he did.
“Personally, I feel I am playing the character a bit younger than John did. I am playing him much more as the 16-year-old he is supposed to be, but while still trying to include some of that John Travolta swagger.”
Eight shows a week, two on a Friday and a Saturday, it has all proved harder than Tom thought it would be: “But that stage feels like home even if it is actually very different to being on stage with a band in front of your own fans.”
He feels he has come a long way since starting out in the role back in March.
“I am so different now! If you could look at my first performances, I was like a petrified little kid. I can remember exactly how I felt.
“It was my first-ever musical-theatre show. I was just concentrating on not forgetting the words, but now I feel so much more comfortable and can trust in my own ability. The next time I do a show I won’t have that doubt that you get when you have never done a show before.”
And so yes, this is where Tom sees his future career going.
“I am having conversations about a few different shows for next year. I didn’t really know what to expect with this one because I didn’t really have anything to compare it with, but now I really can compare and know that I will enjoy it.”

The Croswell Opera House in Adrian, Michigan, will kick off its summer season with the musical "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang," which opens June 10 and runs for three weekends. "It's a great family story full of imagination," director Julianne Dolan said.

Question: Africa: Aquaculture in Sub-Saharan Africa

analysis
If you don't know what aquaculture is, you're not alone: a 2009 survey found that a remarkable 85% of South Africans had never even heard the term, and most are still unaware of its importance. The situation hasn't improved much, more people have heard of it but few actually know what it is.
Aquaculture is the aquatic equivalent of agriculture. It involves essentially "growing" animals and plants that live in lakes, rivers or the sea, mostly for human consumption. It has been one of the world's fastest growing industries in recent decades
In fact today, you're more likely to be eating "farmed" fish than fish from the wild. But that is not true in South Africa, yet. In 2014 the supply of fish for human consumption from aquaculture exceeded that from wild-caught fisheries for the first time. This trend is continuing, as the amount of fish which can be supplied by the traditional fishing industry has reached a plateau, and aquaculture continues to expand at a rapid rate. It's increasing in those countries with a long tradition of aquaculture, but also in regions where it hasn't been done before.
As the supply of fish and seafood through fishing becomes less sustainable, the global challenge is to replace it sustainably through aquaculture.
The industry has grown slowly in sub-Saharan Africa. Freshwater fish aquaculture has recently expanded very rapidly in the region from a low base. Marine aquaculture has yet to take off, with only one or two successful examples. As fisheries become more depleted, there's a growing need and opportunity to develop aquaculture for food.
Shortage of suitable sea space may eventually limit expansion in South Africa, but there are many such sea areas around the continent where marine aquaculture could increase rapidly given the required input of investment and expertise.
Aquaculture in sub-Saharan Africa
Most of the world's aquaculture production takes place in Asia, with China (60%), and the top 6 countries - all in Asia - produce 86%. The rapid growth rate in aquaculture production over the last quarter of a century in Asian countries is being mirrored in the production of freshwater fish in sub-Saharan Africa.
Only 550 000 tonnes of aquatic animals were grown in 2014, which is less than 1% of the world production. Almost all of this is of freshwater fish - mostly catfish, Tilapia and Nile Perch. Nigeria and Uganda are the region's leading producers.
Marine aquaculture production in Africa is a more depressing story. Just 12 000t of animal production was reported in 2008, dropping to 10 000t in 2014. Most of this was made up of prawns in Madagascar and Mozambique, and molluscs like abalone, mussels and oysters in South Africa. The drop in output was largely because of the White Spot Syndrome Virus in prawn aquaculture. This has decimated the industry in Mozambique and Madagascar since 2011.
One long-term marine aquaculture industry in the region is the red seaweeds in Tanzania, with a figure of 13 000t in 2014. The seaweed is not eaten directly, but is exported dry for overseas production of the colloid carrageenan. This is a type of jelly which is used mostly in the food industry as a thickening, gelling, stabilising and suspending agent in milk and water-based foods. The income from cultivation of these seaweeds is low from a global perspective, but makes a significant difference to household incomes in some areas, particularly in Zanzibar.
In South Africa, you're almost certainly eating aquaculture products if you order local oysters, mussels and trout, or imported salmon, prawns, or seaweed in sushi.
South African marine aquaculture
The country's main marine aquaculture success story is the local abalone Haliotis midae ("perlemoen"). It began in the 1990s, and now around 1500t are produced annually representing over 90% of the value of South African marine aquaculture. South African abalone is not grown on ropes, rafts or in cages in the sea or sheltered bays/estuaries unlike most of the global marine aquaculture. It's a high value product, grown by pumping large amounts of seawater into tanks on land.
A large abalone farm pumps over 10 million litres of seawater per hour, with electricity for pumping a major cost component. Such infrastructure is only economically feasible with a high value product. Most South African farmed abalone is flown live or exported in cans to China.
The two main success stories in marine aquaculture in sub-Saharan Africa are very different: seaweed grown attached to ropes in the sea and exported as low priced raw material, and a shellfish grown in land based systems and exported as a high priced food. Both of them provide income and employment, but not food for Africans.
There have been numerous attempts to grow marine fish and prawns in South Africa in land-based systems. This works for abalone - does it often fail for fish because of a lower-priced product? Successful operations elsewhere involving sea-cage production of fish such as salmon operate as simpler systems, without large-scale water pumping.
South Africa has particular constraints for marine aquaculture having a very straight coastline with high wave energy, mostly unsuitable for rafts and cages. Most of South Africa's offshore marine aquaculture happens in Saldanha Bay on the west coast, with plans to extend the area used, and there are a limited number of other feasible sites.

Question: WATCH: Conor McGregor’s controversial sparring session

represent this text to find a news title for it

After Conor McGregor’s recent sparring partner Paulie Malignaggi complained about misleading images being released, UFC boss Dana White has now uploaded video of the sessions.
The footage was released after Malignaggi was reportedly furious about how his sparring was portrayed and claimed that the Irishman’s boxing skills were below par.
White then released several clips in an effort to show McGregor’s skills and a controversial ‘knockdown.’
Malignaggi was of the belief that it wasn’t a knockdown, however McGregor did appear to be dominating in the footage provided.
“This guy is one of the biggest dirtbags I’ve ever met in my life – bar none,” Malignaggi told MMA Hour.
“I was amazed at what a dirtbag this person is. I don’t care if we never speak again. My life is fine if I never see Conor McGregor again.
“He doesn’t want to be put in those positions. He wants to be the front runner.”
The footage comes after Floyd Mayweather praised Conor McGregor’s skills ahead of the much anticipated August 26 bout.

Question: Statue of inventor Thomas Edison unveiled in Oho hometown

MILAN, Ohio (AP) - The Ohio hometown of Thomas Edison now has two statues honoring the inventor.
A new statue sits in the town square of Milan (MY'-lan), where Edison spent the first seven years of his life.
It was made by Ohio sculptor Alan Cottrill and is similar to another Edison statue Cottrill created and is now displayed at the U.S. Capitol.
The new statue in Milan shows Edison holding a light bulb in one hand and a phonograph in the other.
The Sandusky Register reports a large crowd showed up for the unveiling on Monday.
There's a second statue of Edison in the town square that depicts him as a child with his mother.

Question: Hundreds of Uber drivers in Qatar go on strike after price cuts

Hundreds of drivers with ride-hailing service Uber in Qatar went on strike on Monday for the second time in a year to protest against fare cuts.
The US-based company, which started operations in Doha in 2014, has in recent months cut fares by 15-20 percent for passengers amid growing competition from local firms.
Uber drivers in Doha stayed home on Monday to protest the cuts and an "upfront" service launched by Uber in November that allows passengers to view the total fare before their journey.
"The upfront [service] isn't fair. If you get stuck in traffic or the passenger makes extra stops during the journey, we receive nothing for that," said John, an Ethiopian driver who declined to give his second name.
"If they [Uber] don't raise fares and treat drivers better we have many other platforms we can go to. I have a family to support," he said.
Uber has tried to drive down taxi fares to win customers from local rivals in Qatar like Careem which has a larger market share than Uber in most of the 50 cities in the Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan region in which it operates.
An Uber spokesman in Dubai said the company was "committed to dialogue with partner drivers" and had made improving their experience a priority.
"We are very proud of the high quality service they [drivers] offer to riders who want to get around Doha with a safe, efficient and affordable ride," said the spokesman in a statement.
Thousands of Ethiopians, Indians and Nepalis work as Uber drivers in wealthy Qatar where unions and labor protests are banned and authorities penalize dissent with jail terms or immediate deportation.
Some drivers say they have struggled since an oil slump in mid-2014 that has squeezed state finances and last year saw Doha raise the domestic price of gasoline by 30 percent..

Uber says it is committed to its presence in Turkey despite tough new regulations there Ride-sharing company Uber on Wednesday said it was committed to its business in Turkey despite being hit with tough new regulations there.
Uber has been locked in a bitter dispute with the traditional Istanbul taxi cabs who accuse the app of taking away business without a proper legal basis for its work.
Under a new government directive, fines will be sharply increased for holders of D2 licences for larger vehicles who illegally work as taxis.
"The first leg of Uber and pirates like them has been broken," Eyup Aksu, head of the Istanbul taxi chamber, wrote on Twitter.
"We will act with determination until this pirate transport is completely finished. We thank everyone who has worked on this legislation," he added.
Under the new rules, the company the driver works for risks being blacklisted for two years if the offence reoccurs.
Taxi drivers' associations in Istanbul had already filed two separate lawsuits with the courts demanding that Uber be banned. But the new regulations are separate to the court process.
But Uber, in a brief statement on its Turkish Twitter account, said it was committed to working in Turkey.
"We want to work in cooperation with all the relevant stakeholders to improve transportation options in Turkey and we are committed long-term to Turkey, to the end, as a loyal partner," it said.
Tensions have spilled over into violence, with Uber drivers saying they have been physically harassed and even shot at by taxi drivers. The Istanbul taxi drivers' association denies any campaign to intimidate Uber drivers.
State news agency Anadolu said on Wednesday that Uber drivers in Istanbul had already been hit with 18.92 million lira ($4.20 million) in fines by Turkish police in the first five months of this year.
The tension in Turkey is one of a number of headaches for Uber and its new chief executive Dara Khosrowshahi, who took over last August after founder Travis Kalanick was ousted following a series of scandals.
It has lost its license in London, although it is still operating there pending appeal, while its self-driving car programme in the United States suffered a major blow with a deadly accident.
The 17,400 official yellow taxis in Istanbul are a pillar of the city's often patchy transport system, but critics say that poor quality service and overcharging have given Uber an opportunity.

Question: Birth control: Trump expands opt-out for workplace insurance

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

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is allowing more employers to opt out of providing no-cost birth control to women by claiming religious or moral objections, issuing new rules Friday that take another step in rolling back the Obama health care law.
Employers with religious or moral qualms will also be able to cover some birth control methods, and not others. Experts said that could interfere with efforts to promote modern long-acting implantable contraceptives, such as IUDs, which are more expensive.
The new policy was a long-anticipated revision to Affordable Care Act requirements that most companies cover birth control as preventive care for women, at no additional cost. That Obama-era requirement applies to all FDA-approved methods, including the morning-after pill, which some religious conservatives call an abortion drug, though scientists say it has no effect on women who are already pregnant.
As a result of the ACA, most women no longer pay for contraceptives. Several advocacy groups immediately announced plans to try to block Trump administration rule. “We are preparing to see the government in court,” said Brigitte Amiri, a senior attorney for the ACLU.
Trump’s religious and moral exemption is expected to galvanize both his opponents and religious conservatives who back him, but it seems unlikely to have a major impact on America’s largely secular workplaces.
“I can’t imagine that many employers are going to be willing to certify that they have a moral objection to standard birth control methods,” said Dan Mendelson, president of the consulting firm Avalere Health.
That said, Mendelson said he worries the new rule will set a precedent for weakening ACA requirements that basic benefits be covered. “If you look at it as a public health issue, it is a step in the wrong direction, and it weakens the protections of the ACA,” he said.
Tens of thousands of women could be affected by Trump’s policy, but the vast majority of companies have no qualms about offering birth control benefits through their health plans. Human resource managers recognize that employers get an economic benefit from helping women space out their pregnancies, since female workers are central to most enterprises.
The administration estimated that some 200 employers who have already voiced objections to the Obama-era policy would qualify for the expanded opt-out, and that 120,000 women would be affected.
However, it’s unclear how major religious-affiliated employers such as Catholic hospitals and universities will respond. Many Catholic hospitals now rely on an Obama-era workaround under which the government pays for the cost of birth control coverage. That workaround can continue under the new rules.
Since contraception became a covered preventive benefit, the share of women employees paying their own money for birth control pills has plunged to 3 percent, from 21 percent, according to the latest Kaiser Family Foundation figures.
“It was really important for women to have a choice of the full range of contraceptive methods that were FDA-approved,” said Alina Salganicoff, director of women’s health policy for the Kaiser foundation. “This will now make it up to the employer whether or not to cover contraception, and whether to cover all methods.”
Salganicoff said she’s concerned about coverage for implantable devices that are more expensive but also much more effective. “It opens up a lot of opportunities for employers to make choices about the coverage that women have right now,” she said.
The Trump administration’s revision broadens a religious exemption that previously applied to houses of worship, religiously affiliated nonprofit groups, and closely-held private companies. Administration officials said the new policy defends religious freedom. For-profit companies will be able to seek an exemption.
“No American should be forced to violate his or her own conscience in order to abide by the laws and regulations governing our health care system,” Health and Human Services spokeswoman Caitlin Oakley said in a statement. “Today’s actions affirm the Trump administration’s commitment to upholding the freedoms afforded all Americans under our Constitution.”
The rule “fulfills one of the Trump administration’s most important campaign promises to restore religious liberty,” said Ashley McGuire of The Catholic Association, an advocacy group.
Administration officials also said the administration is tightening oversight of how plans sold under the health law cover abortion. With limited exceptions, abortions can only be paid for through a separate premium collected from enrollees. No public subsidies can be used, except in cases that involve rape, incest, or preserving the life of the mother.
Doctors’ groups that were instrumental in derailing Republican plans to repeal the health law outright expressed their dismay.
The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said the new policy could reverse the recent progress in lowering the nation’s rate of unintended pregnancies.]
“Instead of fulfilling its mission ‘to enhance and protect the health and well-being of all Americans,’ HHS leaders under the current administration are focused on turning back the clock on women’s health,” said the organization’s president, Dr. Haywood Brown.
Administration officials said the new policy takes effect right away.

In his State of the State Address in 2014, Gov. Phil Bryant announced a goal: "to end abortion in Mississippi."
Bryant has now signed a law that makes his state the most difficult state in the country to get an abortion. It is called the Gestational Age Act, and it bans abortions after 15 weeks of gestation, except in the case of a medical emergency or a severe fetal abnormality. The law does not make exceptions in cases of rape or incest. The Mississippi House passed the measure on March 8, and Bryant signed it into law on Monday.
The Associated Press reports that Mississippi's only abortion clinic has sued the state in response to the legislation. In 2012, that same clinic, The Jackson Women's Health Organization, filed a lawsuit challenging a different bill Bryant signed into law. That bill enacted stricter requirements for abortion facilities, including a requirement that all physicians associated with an abortion facility have the right to admit patients to a local hospital. It was eventually blocked by a federal district court in 2013.
After signing this latest bill, Bryant wrote on Twitter, "I am committed to making Mississippi the safest place in America for an unborn child, and this bill will help us achieve that goal."
"We are saving more of the unborn than any state in America, and what better thing we could do," Bryant said as he signed the bill. "We'll probably be sued here in about a half hour, and that'll be fine with me. It is worth fighting over."
On the national level, some recent attempts to restrict abortion have failed, as Julie Rovner reported for NPR and Kaiser Health News:
Despite many attempts, Congress did not pass a federal ban on abortions occurring after 20 weeks, didn't cut off Planned Parenthood's federal funding and didn't write into permanent law the Hyde Amendment, which bans most federal abortion funding but needs annual renewal.
But, Rovner added, the Trump administration has made some progress in restricting abortion and contraception access:
The administration made myriad changes. It reinstituted and expanded the "Mexico City" policy, which forbids funding of international aid programs that "perform or promote" abortion. It issued rules aimed at allowing religious-affiliated and other employers to not offer contraceptive services if they have a "religious belief" or "moral conviction" against them, although federal courts have blocked the new rules from being implemented. And just last week the administration created a new "conscience and religious freedom" division in the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Civil Rights. That new division is designed to enforce both existing laws protecting the rights of conscience for medical personnel as well as the new regulations. Most important, according to many in the anti-abortion movement, the president nominated and the Senate confirmed more than a dozen federal district court and appeals court judges who are considered likely to rule in favor of abortion restrictions.
