Question: Helm, Mrazek lead Red Wings to win over Hurricanes

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Darren Helm had a goal and two assists, Petr Mrazek stopped 36 shots, and the Detroit Red Wings beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-1 on Friday night.
Gustav Nyquist, Danny DeKeyser and Trevor Daley also scored for the Red Wings, who won their second straight after dropping six of eight.
Helm was at the center of it all, assisting on DeKeyser’s tying goal and Daley’s go-ahead score before finding the net himself on a breakaway late in the third period.
Sebastian Aho scored for the Hurricanes, who snapped a three-game win streak. Scott Darling made 34 saves while losing for the sixth time in his last seven starts.
Aho’s power play goal midway through the first opened the scoring. Justin Faulk’s slap shot from the blue line nicked Mrazek’s glove and fluttered over the Detroit netminder’s back, and Aho knocked it in the air and into the net.
Helm and the Red Wings took over from there.
DeKeyser tied it before the period was out. Aided by a screen from Frans Nielsen, DeKeyser took a pass from Helm and ripped a slap shot that beat Darling to his blocker side.
Daley put Detroit ahead 5:06 into the second. Helm came up with a Hurricanes turnover deep in his own zone, raced down the ice and dropped a pass back to Daley at the point and he wound up and fired a vicious slap shot over Darling’s glove.
Nyquist provided insurance in the third when he snapped a wrister over Darling’s glove with 12:15 remaining.
Helm added the final blow when he came out of the penalty box and picked up a loose puck at center ice for a breakaway, firing a slapper over Darling right in front of his face.
NOTES: Mrazek improved to 4-1-1 in his last six games. … DeKeyser’s goal was his first in 18 games dating back to Dec. 15. … Hurricanes F Teuvo Teravainen set a new career-high with his 28th assist. … The Hurricanes have 13 power-play goals in their last 14 games.

DETROIT (AP) — Mike Matheson scored his first goal of the season and the Florida Panthers won in overtime for the first time this season, taking a 2-1 decision from the Detroit Red Wings on Monday night.
Matheson drove the rebound of a Nick Bjugstad shot into the net behind Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard at the 2:02 mark of the overtime period for the winner. Florida improved to 1-2 in OT, rallying from a 1-0 third-period deficit for the victory.
Vincent Trocheck also scored for the Panthers, while Henrik Zetterberg scored for the Wings, who are 0-5 in overtime.
Ending a 22-game goal drought, Zetterberg opened the scoring at the 18:27 mark of the first period. Panthers defenseman Matheson blocked Zetterberg’s original shot, but the Detroit captain picked up the rebound and snapped a low shot through the pads of Florida goalie James Reimer.

The Panthers tied the score during a third-period power play at the 10:11 mark. Florida center Jonathan Huberdeau went down after being cross-checked by Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall, but as he lay on the ice, Huberdeau slipped a pass back across the front of the net to Trocheck, whose quick shot banked into the Detroit net off the outstretched glove of Wings goalie Jimmy Howard.
NOTES: Panthers C Aleksandr Barkov, who leads the team with eight multi-point games, returned to the lineup after missing Saturday’s 7-3 loss to the Colorado Avalanche with an upper-body injury. … Red Wings D/RW Luke Witkowski saw his first action since the conclusion of his 10-game NHL suspension for returning to the ice to rejoin a fight Nov. 9 against the Calgary Flames, and fought twice with Panthers C Micheal Haley, who leads the NHL with nine fighting majors.

Question: Connecticut women win 100th game in a row

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

STORRS, Connecticut -- Add 100 consecutive wins to the University of Connecticut Huskies' long list of milestones.
Given the team's glitzier numbers linked to national championships, 11 titles and counting, it may seem ho-hum with no added significance. Geno Auriemma's squad already owns the longest winning streak in Division I college basketball history. UConn beat its own record of 90 consecutive wins earlier this season with little fanfare.
Getting No. 100 was a little tougher than many of the previous 99, which UConn won by an average 38.7 points. Gabby Williams scored a career-high 26 points and Napheesa Collier added 18 to help the top-ranked Huskies beat No. 6 South Carolina 66-55 on Monday night in front of a sellout crowd of 10,167 that included past greats Sue Bird, Maya Moore, Tina Charles and Breanna Stewart, who helped the Huskies to the first 75 wins of this streak.

by Rob Joyce
Even by UConn’s standards, this is unprecedented. Monday’s win over No. 6 South Carolina was the 100th straight win by the Huskies, the first time an NCAA program (men or women) has hit the century mark in a win streak. By any measure the streak is among the most impressive in college athletics’ history, and the numbers are mind-boggling: 98 wins by double-digits, 56 by 40 or more points, and 28 coming against ranked opponents.
Whenever the streak ends, it will go down in the annals of basketball history. And it joins these five other NCAA programs who have hit triple-digit win streaks:
University of Miami men’s tennis:
From 1957-64 the Hurricanes’ went on a streak of 137 consecutive wins in dual matches (playing singles and doubles, whoever wins the most matches wins). Despite that longevity, however, Miami never managed to win a national championship. That’s because at the time the NCAA didn’t have dual matches. Individual performances in singles and doubles matches led points being scored – whoever had the most won the title.
BYU-Hawaii women’s tennis:
Staying on the court, the Seasiders ripped off a 130-match win streak from 2001-05. That was started after they lost the 2001 national championship, which ended a separate 103-match streak. For those keeping track, from 1998-2005 BYU-Hawaii went 233-2, winning three titles.
Penn State volleyball:
The most dominant volleyball program of all-time, the peak of the Nittany Lions’ dominance came from 2007-10, when they won 109 consecutive matches. It started after a September loss in ’07, then three national titles later it ended early in the 2010 season – but no worries, Penn State still went on to win a fourth straight championship.
North Carolina women’s soccer:
The caveat with the Tar Heels is that soccer has ties, so UNC didn’t have a win streak, they had an absurdly long unbeaten streak. From the start of the 1986 season through 1990 the Heels ran off 103 games without a loss. After losing to UConn in the regular season, the Heels would get revenge later that year, throttling the Huskies 6-0 as part of a 101-game unbeaten streak. Within that 101 games was a 92 game win streak, just one of many accolades for the most dominant women’s soccer program ever. Among the notable alumni from that era: Mia Hamm, Kristine Lilly and Tisha Venturini, among many others.
BONUS: Trinity men’s squash:
The Huskies have a lot of work to do if they want the longest winning streak in state history. That belongs to the Bantams. From 1998 through January 2012 Trinity ripped off 252 straight victories, winning 13 straight national titles in that time. Squash isn’t an NCAA-sanctioned sport, so it’s not officially recognized. But for intercollegiate athletics, the longest streak of all-time does in fact reside in Connecticut – but in Hartford, not Storrs.

Question: Still Waiting... A Harvey Weinstein Moment for America’s Wars?

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

What makes a Harvey Weinstein moment? The now-disgraced Hollywood mogul is hardly the first powerful man to stand accused of having abused women. The Harveys who preceded Harvey himself are legion, their prominence matching or exceeding his own and the misdeeds with which they were charged at least as reprehensible.
In the relatively recent past, a roster of prominent offenders would include Bill Clinton, Bill Cosby, Roger Ailes, Bill O’Reilly, and, of course, Donald Trump. Throw in various jocks, maestros, senior military officers, members of the professoriate and you end up with quite a list. Yet in virtually all such cases, the alleged transgressions were treated as instances of individual misconduct, egregious perhaps but possessing at best transitory political resonance.
All that, though, was pre-Harvey. As far as male sexual hijinks are concerned, we might compare Weinstein’s epic fall from grace to the stock market crash of 1929: one week it’s the anything-goes Roaring Twenties, the next we’re smack dab in a Great Depression.
How profound is the change? Up here in Massachusetts where I live, we’ve spent the past year marking John F. Kennedy’s 100th birthday. If Kennedy were still around to join in the festivities, it would be as a Class A sex offender. Rarely in American history has the cultural landscape shifted so quickly or so radically.
In our post-Harvey world, men charged with sexual misconduct are guilty until proven innocent, all crimes are capital offenses, and there exists no statute of limitations. Once a largely empty corporate slogan, “zero tolerance” has become a battle cry.
All of this serves as a reminder that, on some matters at least, the American people retain an admirable capacity for outrage. We can distinguish between the tolerable and the intolerable. And we can demand accountability of powerful individuals and institutions.
Everything They Need to Win (Again!)
What’s puzzling is why that capacity for outrage and demand for accountability doesn’t extend to our now well-established penchant for waging war across much of the planet.
In no way would I wish to minimize the pain, suffering, and humiliation of the women preyed upon by the various reprobates now getting their belated comeuppance. But to judge from published accounts, the women (and in some cases, men) abused by Weinstein, Louis C.K., Mark Halperin, Leon Wieseltier, Kevin Spacey, Al Franken, Charlie Rose, Matt Lauer, Garrison Keillor, my West Point classmate Judge Roy Moore, and their compadres at least managed to survive their encounters. None of the perpetrators are charged with having committed murder. No one died.
"War has become a habit to which the United States is addicted. Except for the terminally distracted, most of us know that."
Compare their culpability to that of the high-ranking officials who have presided over or promoted this country’s various military misadventures of the present century. Those wars have, of course, resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths and will ultimately cost American taxpayers many trillionsof dollars. Nor have those costly military efforts eliminated “terrorism,” as President George W. Bush promised back when today’s G.I.s were still in diapers.
Bush told us that, through war, the United States would spread freedom and democracy. Instead, our wars have sown disorder and instability, creating failing or failed states across the Greater Middle East and Africa. In their wake have sprung up ever more, not fewer, jihadist groups, while acts of terror are soaring globally. These are indisputable facts.
It discomfits me to reiterate this mournful litany of truths. I feel a bit like the doctor telling the lifelong smoker with stage-four lung cancer that an addiction to cigarettes is adversely affecting his health. His mute response: I know and I don’t care. Nothing the doc says is going to budge the smoker from his habit. You go through the motions, but wonder why.
In a similar fashion, war has become a habit to which the United States is addicted. Except for the terminally distracted, most of us know that. We also know -- we cannot not know -- that, in places like Afghanistan and Iraq, U.S. forces have been unable to accomplish their assigned mission, despite more than 16 years of fighting in the former and more than a decade in the latter.
It’s not exactly a good news story, to put it mildly. So forgive me for saying it (yet again), but most of us simply don’t care, which means that we continue to allow a free hand to those who preside over those wars, while treating with respect the views of pundits and media personalities who persist in promoting them. What’s past doesn’t count; we prefer to sustain the pretense that tomorrow is pregnant with possibilities. Victory lies just around the corner.
By way of example, consider a recent article in U.S. News and World Report. The headline: “Victory or Failure in Afghanistan: 2018 Will Be the Deciding Year.” The title suggests a balance absent from the text that follows, which reads like a Pentagon press release. Here in its entirety is the nut graf (my own emphasis added):
“Armed with a new strategy and renewed support from old allies, the Trump administration now believes it has everything it needs to win the war in Afghanistan. Top military advisers all the way up to Defense Secretary Jim Mattis say they can accomplish what two previous administrations and multiple troop surges could not: the defeat of the Taliban by Western-backed local forces, a negotiated peace and the establishment of a popularly supported government in Kabul capable of keeping the country from once again becoming a haven to any terrorist group.”
Now if you buy this, you’ll believe that Harvey Weinstein has learned his lesson and can be trusted to interview young actresses while wearing his bathrobe.
For starters, there is no “new strategy.” Trump’s generals, apparently with a nod from their putative boss, are merely modifying the old “strategy,” which was itself an outgrowth of previous strategies tried, found wanting, and eventually discarded before being rebranded and eventually recycled.
Short of using nuclear weapons, U.S. forces fighting in Afghanistan over the past decade and a half have experimented with just about every approach imaginable: invasion, regime change, occupation, nation-building, pacification, decapitation, counterterrorism, and counterinsurgency, not to mention various surges, differing in scope and duration. We have had a big troop presence and a smaller one, more bombing and less, restrictive rules of engagement and permissive ones. In the military equivalent of throwing in the kitchen sink, a U.S. Special Operations Command four-engine prop plane recently deposited the largest non-nuclear weapon in the American arsenal on a cave complex in eastern Afghanistan. Although that MOAB made a big boom, no offer of enemy surrender materialized.
In truth, U.S. commanders have quietly shelved any expectations of achieving an actual victory -- traditionally defined as “imposing your will on the enemy” -- in favor of a more modest conception of success. In year XVII of America’s Afghanistan War, the hope is that training, equipping, advising, and motivating Afghans to assume responsibility for defending their country may someday allow American forces and their coalition partners to depart. By 2015, that project, building up the Afghan security forces, had already absorbed at least $65 billion in U.S. taxpayer dollars. And under the circumstances, consider that a mere down payment.
According to General John Nicholson, our 17th commander in Kabul since 2001, the efforts devised and implemented by his many predecessors have resulted in a “stalemate” -- a generous interpretation given that the Taliban presently controls more territory than it has held since the U.S. invasion. Officers no less capable than Nicholson himself, David Petraeus and Stanley McChrystal among them, didn’t get it done. Nicholson’s argument: trust me.
In essence, the “new strategy” devised by Trump’s generals, Secretary of Defense Mattis and Nicholson among them, amounts to this: persist a tad longer with a tad more. A modest uptick in the number of U.S. and allied troops on the ground will provide more trainers, advisers, and motivators to work with and accompany their Afghan counterparts in the field. The Mattis/Nicholson plan also envisions an increasing number of air strikes, signaled by the recent use of B-52s to attack illicit Taliban “drug labs,” a scenario that Stanley Kubrick himself would have been hard-pressed to imagine.
Notwithstanding the novelty of using strategic bombers to destroy mud huts, there’s not a lot new here. Dating back to 2001, coalition forces have already dropped tens of thousands of bombs in Afghanistan. Almost as soon as the Taliban were ousted from Kabul, coalition efforts to create effective Afghan security forces commenced. So, too, did attempts to reduce the production of the opium that has funded the Taliban insurgency, alas with essentially no effect whatsoever. What Trump’s generals want a gullible public (and astonishingly gullible and inattentive members of Congress) to believe is that this time they’ve somehow devised a formula for getting it right.
Turning the Corner
With his trademark capacity to intuit success, President Trump already sees clear evidence of progress. “We're not fighting anymore to just walk around,” he remarked in his Thanksgiving message to the troops. “We're fighting to win. And you people [have] turned it around over the last three to four months like nobody has seen.” The president, we may note, has yet to visit Afghanistan.
I’m guessing that the commander-in-chief is oblivious to the fact that, in U.S. military circles, the term winning has acquired notable elasticity. Trump may think that it implies vanquishing the enemy -- white flags and surrender ceremonies on the U.S.S. Missouri. General Nicholson knows better. “Winning,” the field commander says, “means delivering a negotiated settlement that reduces the level of violence and protecting the homeland.” (Take that definition at face value and we can belatedly move Vietnam into the win column!)
"It took a succession of high-profile scandals before Americans truly woke up to the plague of sexual harassment and assault. How long will it take before the public concludes that they have had enough of wars that don’t work? "Should we be surprised that Trump’s generals, unconsciously imitating General William Westmoreland a half-century ago, claim once again to detect light at the end of the tunnel? Not at all. Mattis and Nicholson (along with White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster) are following the Harvey Weinstein playbook: keep doing it until they make you stop. Indeed, with what can only be described as chutzpah, Nicholson himself recently announced that we have “turned the corner” in Afghanistan. In doing so, of course, he is counting on Americans not to recall the various war managers, military and civilian alike, who have made identical claims going back years now, among them Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta in 2012.
From on high, assurances of progress; in the field, results that, year after year, come nowhere near what's promised; on the homefront, an astonishingly credulous public. The war in Afghanistan has long since settled into a melancholy and seemingly permanent rhythm.
The fact is that the individuals entrusted by President Trump to direct U.S. policy believe with iron certainty that difficult political problems will yield to armed might properly employed. That proposition is one to which generals like Mattis and Nicholson have devoted a considerable part of their lives, not just in Afghanistan but across much of the Islamic world. They are no more likely to question the validity of that proposition than the Pope is to entertain second thoughts about the divinity of Jesus Christ.
In Afghanistan, their entire worldview -- not to mention the status and clout of the officer corps they represent -- is at stake. No matter how long the war there lasts, no matter how many “generations” it takes, no matter how much blood is shed to no purpose, and no matter how much money is wasted, they will never admit to failure -- nor will any of the militarists-in-mufti cheering them on from the sidelines in Washington, Donald Trump not the least among them.
Meanwhile, the great majority of the American people, their attention directed elsewhere -- it’s the season for holiday shopping, after all -- remain studiously indifferent to the charade being played out before their eyes.
It took a succession of high-profile scandals before Americans truly woke up to the plague of sexual harassment and assault. How long will it take before the public concludes that they have had enough of wars that don’t work? Here’s hoping it’s before our president, in a moment of ill temper, unleashes “fire and fury” on the world.

Question: Gene Simmons wants to trademark rock concert hand gesture

Represent this text to find a news title for it

If you've ever been to a rock concert it's likely you've thrown up the horns hand gesture.
Now Gene Simmons wants to own that.
According to The Wrap, the KISS frontman applied to trademark the gesture that's symbolic of rock concerts for decades. Filed June 9, the application described a “hand gesture with the index and small fingers extended upward and the thumb extended perpendicular.”
The Hollywood Reporter noted Simmons said in the application that the gesture was first used on Nov. 14, 1974 as part of KISS' Hotter Than Hell tour.
Simmons claims the gesture is being trademarked for “entertainment, namely, live performances by a musical artist; personal appearances by a musical artist.”
The specific hand gesture has different meanings. Besides being the symbolism for devil horns or “rock on” in music culture, the gesture is also sign language for “I love you.”
It's not the first time someone has tried to lay claim to a hand gesture. The Hollywood Reporter noted former professional wrestler Diamond Dallas Page had sued hip hop artist Jay Z over his “Roc-A-Fella” diamond hand gesture, which Page claimed infringed on his similar “Diamond Cutter” gesture.

The more you think about it, the more you realize Donald Trump has in common with archetypal emo kid of the mid-2000s: elaborate hairstyle, hatred for the popular kids, penchant for turgid oversharing online, fondness for the word “sad.” Picking up on those parallels, the jokers at Super Deluxe crafted an anthem that would slay at Hot Topic or your local Elks Club or VFW Hall, using only the president’s recent tweets as lyrics.
From first bloodletting wail of “Very unfair!” to the brutal “FAKE NEWS” breakdown, Emo Trump is pure Myspace profile song material. Listen below.

Question: 'Real Indian' Running Against Warren, Using Her Own Claims Against Her

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s dubious claims of Native American heritage decades ago are once again plaguing her political career, this time in the form of a long-shot rival seeking to exploit the issue in a controversial new campaign ad.
The Massachusetts Democrat cited the heritage, which she has later claimed to be a part of her family tradition, at multiple points in her early career.
In addition to questioning the legitimacy of her claims, critics have also accused Warren of identifying as a minority with the purpose of gaining an unfair advantage in the workplace.
A man of Indian heritage running as an independent against her hopes to invoke the controversy to his advantage.
Shiva Ayyadurai has positioned himself as the answer to Warren, whom he deemed a “fake Indian” in a message draped across a bus parked at his property a short distance from the senator’s home, according to the Washington Times.

Though the prominent message has raised Ayyadurai’s profile, it has also prompted backlash from the City of Cambridge.
Local officials have warned Ayyadurai that the sign is a violation of a city ordinance and that its continued display could result in fines of $300 per day and additional fees.
The bus has been parked and draped with the campaign message since March 17, though, and the candidate is prepared to fight in his effort to keep it where it is.

While Ayyadurai makes the case against Warren, though, critics cite questionable claims from his own past. The most notable example is his assertion that he invented email , a claim prominently included in his Twitter username as of this writing.
As Fox News reports, Ayyadurai recently filed a federal lawsuit claiming the city’s order to remove the sign is a violation of his First Amendment rights.
His argument hinges, in part, on the theory that an ordinance pertaining to signs affixed to structures should not apply to a stationary bus draped with his campaign message.

As for Warren, she continues to cite generations of relatives in supporting her previous statements, while thus far declining to submit to a DNA test that might settle the debate.

Question: UPS Shooting: Gunman Kills 3 Before Committing Suicide In San Francisco

Yet another tragic shooting has occurred on June 14. Just hours after Congressman Steve Scalise was shot in Virginia, a gunman opened fire in a UPS facility in San Francisco. Three people were killed before the attacked committed suicide.
More tragedy on June 14. A gunman walked into a UPS packing, sorting, and delivery facility and opened fire, leaving three people dead in his wake. Eventually he turned the gun on himself, committing suicide, Assistant Police Chief Toney Chaplin told CNN. Two other victims were injured, but survived. Police were called at 8:55 am local time, and rushed to the scene to discover that the shooter was still there. As soon as they found him, he “put the gun to his head and immediately discharged the weapon.” He was armed with an assault pistol.
The shooter was apparently wearing a UPS uniform at the time of the attack, but police have yet to confirm whether or not he was an employee of the company. However, UPS released a statement saying “UPS confirms there was a shooting incident involving six employees within the company’s facility in San Francisco earlier this morning,” so it seems as though he was. Police do not believe that this was an act of terrorism at this point. Police were quickly able to secure the building, but continued to sweep for more victims or witnesses. One man, Antonio Salic, was working across the street at the time of the shooting, and told CNN “suddenly I heard shots and I peeked out the window,” he said. “I saw people getting out (of the building), and they were wounded. A lot of people were running.” He explained that workers were standing on the roof with their hands up, as well. “Police approached and they were taken to a safe place.”
UPS sent their condolences to the victims and their families, saying “the company is saddened and deeply concerned about affected employees, family members and the community we share. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those touched by this incident. To assist our employees during this time, UPS has made professional counseling available.”
Our thoughts are with those affected by today's tragic incident at a UPS facility in San Francisco. https://t.co/4XC32AoLFn — UPS (@UPS) June 14, 2017
The devastating shooting comes just hours after another man, James T. Hodgkinson, attacked a bunch of Congressman enjoying a baseball game in Virginia. House Whip Steve Scalise was among those injured, and it in serious condition at the hospital.

Question: Lewis, Moss, Owens, Urlacher highlight 8-person Hall class

represent the article to find a fitting news title

In this photo provided by the NFL, former NFL players Brian Dawkins, from left, Bobby Beathard, and Ray Lewis, who will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2018, attend the 7th Annual NFL Honors at the Cyrus Northrop Memorial Auditorium on Saturday in Minneapolis. Photo by AJ Mast  Invision for NFL  AP Images
MINNEAPOLIS >> Ray Lewis and Brian Urlacher terrorized opposing offenses from the middle of the field. Randy Moss and Terrell Owens did the same to defenses on the outside.
The two hard-hitting linebackers and two big-play receivers highlighted an eight-person class voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. Safety Brian Dawkins also received at least 80 percent support from the 47 Hall of Fame voters, along with contributor Bobby Beathard and senior nominees Jerry Kramer and Robert Brazile.
But the biggest stars of the class are the two linebackers that made it on their first tries, and the pair of lightning-rod receiver who sometimes caused as many problems for their own teams as for the opposition. Moss also made it on his first try, while Owens needed to wait for his third year on the ballot to get enough support.
Ive been going a long time. And now I can finally rest, Lewis said. I want to go fishing with a cigar now and just sit back. I dont want to work out every day now.

Moss and Owens each played for five teams in their careers as they often wore out their welcome with their inability to get along with teammates and coaches at times.
But at their best, there were few players ever able to strike fear in defenses as much as Moss and Owens, who were both all-decade selections for the 2000s.
The door knocked and I started getting excited, Moss said of Hall of Fame President David Baker alerting him he has been elected. All the emotions caught the best of me because its been a long journey and it ends in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Tears of joy.
Moss burst on the scene as a rookie in Minnesota in 1998 when he caught a league-leading 17 TD catches and helped lead the Vikings to the NFC title game. His combination of speed and athleticism made him the games most dangerous big-play threat and led to the phrase You got Mossed for embarrassed defensive backs.
He led the NFL in TD catches five times, including his record 23 for New England in 2007, and earned four All-Pro selections. He finished his career with 982 catches for 15,292 yards and ranks second all-time with 156 TD receptions.
Owens, who didnt attend the announcement, entered the league as a third-round pick by San Francisco in 1996 but developed into a star known for some memorable playoff appearances, including his winning 25-yard TD catch to beat Green Bay in 1999; his 177 yards in a comeback win against the Giants in 2003; and his nine catches for 122 yards in the 2004 Super Bowl against New England just seven weeks after breaking his leg.
Owens ranks second to Jerry Rice with 15,934 yards receiving and is third on the all-time touchdowns receiving list with 153.
Lewis is widely considered one of the greatest middle linebackers, winning two AP Defensive Player of the Year awards and earning eight All-Pro selections. He anchored a dominant defense for the 2000 Baltimore Ravens in a season that ended with him winning Super Bowl MVP, then retired as a champion after Baltimore closed his last season with a title win over San Francisco in February 2013.
Growing up as a child, I know what that looked like, Mike Singletary, Dick Butkus, Lewis said. Who dreams of being in that category, sitting with those guys?
Lewis joined tackle Jonathan Ogden as the only Ravens voted into the Hall of Fame as both of the teams first-round picks in its initial season of 1996 received the high honor.
Lewis career was also marked by legal problems off the field. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of obstruction of justice after initially being charged with murder in connection with two killings following a Super Bowl party in Atlanta in January 2000. Lewis was also fined $250,000 by the NFL.
Urlacher wasnt far behind Lewis with his play on the field and is the latest in a line of great Chicago middle linebackers to make the Hall, joining Butkus, Singletary and Bill George. He was the Defensive Player of the Year of 2005 and joined Lewis on the 2000s all-decade team.
Dawkins spent most of his 16-year career in Philadelphia, earning five first-team All-Pro selections for his versatility that included 37 career interceptions and 26 career sacks. He became the first player in NFL history with a sack, interception, fumble recovery and touchdown catch in the same game against Houston in 2002.
Kramer got passed over 10 times previously as a finalist before finally getting enough votes as a senior to become the 14th member of the Vince Lombardi Packers to make the Hall. Kramer helped anchor the Green Bay line for 11 seasons, winning six NFL titles and making the block that cleared the way for Bart Starrs TD sneak in the Ice Bowl for the 1967 NFL championship.
Brazile was a finalist for the first time after a 10-year career for the Houston Oilers that included five straight All-Pro selections.
Beathard, also not on hand Saturday, helped build four Super Bowl champions in Miami and Washington and made seven trips to the title game during more than three decades as a personnel executive with a sharp eye for talent.
Five offensive linemen were among the 15 finalists, with tackle Joe Jacoby getting eliminated in voting that reduced the candidates to 10, and tackle Tony Boselli, guards Alan Faneca and Steve Hutchinson, and center Kevin Mawae getting cut in the next round of voting.
Cornerback Ty Law also made it to the final 10 in his second time on the ballot. Defensive backs John Lynch and Everson Walls, receiver Isaac Bruce and running back Edgerrin James were the other candidates eliminated in the first cuts.
Im glad I didnt have to vote for this class, Urlacher said. Its a great class.

Question: Making Sense Of Charlottesville: A Reader's Guide

A rally with white nationalists chanting phrases like "Jews will not replace us" and "end immigration, one people, one nation" was, as many expressed online, disturbing yet not really all that surprising.
Within hours of the tragedy in Charlottesville, journalists, scholars and other leading voices weighed in around the Internet, with analysis and deeper understanding of how this unfolded.
Below are some of the most revealing pieces we read.
Here at Code Switch, my teammate Gene Demby wrote about about how white nationalists are edging their movement out of the shadows:
"Richard Spencer, the white nationalist leader and University of Virginia alum who coined the term 'alt-right,' would likely count that openness as its own incremental success. 'If you greeted someone in 1985 and you said, 'all gays should marry,' you actually would get a lot of laughs,' Spencer told The Atlantic last year, not long after the election. 'By 2015, gay marriage is popular. What is possible has shifted. That's what the alt-right is doing. It's shifting the reality of what's possible, and imagining a reality in which they are.' "
Code Switch alum Matt Thompson, now executive editor at The Atlantic, riffed on the brazenness of the white supremacists who marched this weekend, compared with Klan members of decades past who hid under white hoods. "The shameless return of white supremacy into America's public spaces seems to be happening by degrees, and quickly," Thompson wrote.
Dara Lind, a reporter at Vox who wrote an explainer of the rally and its origins, described it as a "coming-out party for resurgent white nationalism in America."
Nathan Guttman, a reporter with Forward, an online news site aimed at Jewish Americans, penned a vivid piece about covering the march. He recounted watching as Spencer launched into a rant about the mayor of Charlottesville, Michael Signer.
" '[L]ittle Mayor Signer — SEE-NER — how do you pronounce this little creep's name?' asked Richard Spencer, a right-wing leader who dreams of a 'white ethnostate,' as he stood on a bench under a tree to rally his troops, deprived of their protest. The crowd knew exactly how to pronounce his name: 'Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew' some shouted out. The rest burst out in laughter. And that was one of the only moments of levity the alt-right audience gathered under the tree enjoyed."
And Jia Tolentino, a writer for The New Yorker and a graduate of the University of Virginia, meditated on Charlottesville's progressive guise and ability to hide its dark racial past. "Charlottesville was a beautiful town full of good white people who believed in political progress, and if people of color could just hold tight and respect that, we wouldn't have to make anyone uncomfortable," she wrote. "Everything would be just fine."
Many writers also took on the response from President Trump, whose initial reaction to the violence in Charlottesville condemned equally both sides of the protest. "We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides," Trump said, in remarks that brought condemnation from both Democrats and Republicans.
Writing for The New Yorker, Jelani Cobb parsed Trump's initial response further:
"We have seen a great number of false equivalencies in the past two years, and the most recent Presidential election was defined by them. Yet it remains striking to hear Trump imply that Nazis and the interracial group of demonstrators who gathered to oppose them were, in essence, equally wrong. It would have been naïve to expect the President to unambiguously condemn neo-Confederates ("Heritage, not hate," etc.), but Nazis? For reasons that are not hard to discern, the swastika, at least in the United States, has always been more clearly legible as a symbol of racial bigotry than the Confederate flag."
Michael Gerson, a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, lambasted Trump in a Washington Post piece, writing that the current president was "incapable" of speaking for the nation in the face of tragedy:
"If great words can heal and inspire, base words can corrupt. Trump has been delivering the poison of prejudice in small but increasing doses. In Charlottesville, the effect became fully evident. And the president had no intention of decisively repudiating his work. What do we do with a president who is incapable or unwilling to perform his basic duties? What do we do when he is incapable of outrage at outrageous things? What do we do with a president who provides barely veiled cover for the darkest instincts of the human heart? These questions lead to the dead end of political realism — a hopeless recognition of limited options. But the questions intensify."
On Monday, Trump responded to the increasing pressure to respond more forcefully, and gave a stronger rebuke. "Racism is evil," Trump said. "And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the K.K.K., neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans."
In a piece for Commentary Magazine, John Podhoretz, a former speechwriter for Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, cast a skeptical eye toward Trump's remarks on Monday:
"You can choose to have whatever opinion you have on the president's statement today condemning white supremacists, but it's hard to believe he would have read it out if he'd had his druthers. No, the real Donald Trump was the one we saw on Saturday when he decided to condemn violence 'on many sides' in response to the deliberately provocative and intentionally violent neo-Nazi march in Charlottesville, Virginia; when he decided to refer to the events as 'sad' in tweets; when he wished 'best regards' to those injured by the car that was deliberately smashed into them, killing 1 and injuring 20. When he acted in that way, he was operating according to his instinct. And his instinct said: Do not attack the white supremacists."
What Trump's comments Monday mean for how, exactly, he will handle the resurgence of white supremacists, remains unclear.
As Maggie Haberman of The New York Times tweeted shortly after Trump's remarks on Monday:

Question: Arsenal keep Champions League hopes alive with Boro win

Arsenal kept alive their slim hopes of securing a Champions League spot next season with a 2-1 Premier League victory at Middlesbrough on Monday that left the hosts in deep danger of relegation.
A superb Alexis Sanchez free kick put the Gunners ahead three minutes before the break but Spanish striker Alvaro Negredo brought Boro level four minutes after the interval.
German midfielder Mesut Ozil grabbed a close-range winner for Arsenal in the 71st minute.
The result left Arsenal in sixth, seven points behind fourth-placed Manchester City who have played one game more. Boro are second bottom, six points adrift of safety with six games left.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger made six changes to the team which had lost in humiliating fashion 3-0 to Crystal Palace last week and switched to a 3-4-3 formation, a new approach for the Gunners.
“Sometimes when a team lacks confidence, changing the system helps the team to believe in something different,” Wenger said.
A low-key first half ended with Arsenal getting ahead when Sanchez showed great technique as he lifted the ball over a long wall and past motionless Boro keeper Brad Guzan.
Boro responded positively, though, and their equaliser was perfectly executed, Stewart Downing racing down the right flank and delivering a pinpoint cross which Negredo met with a side-foot finish after losing his marker Laurent Koscielny.
Middlesbrough went close to a second with a stooping Daniel Ayala header which Arsenal keeper Petr Cech saved well, allowing his defence to scramble clear.
But Arsenal secured their first away win in five Premier League matches when Sanchez floated a ball into the box which Aaron Ramsey cleverly chested down to Ozil who made no mistake from close range.
“I think we were focused and committed and you could see that we did not play with full confidence during some moments in the game,” Wenger said.
“When you are in a lack of confidence situation it comes back slowly and only the results help,” added the Frenchman.
Arsenal face Manchester City on Sunday in the FA Cup semi-finals.

Manchester City have been given a dream tie against Basel in the draw for the last 16 of the Champions League.
Pep Guardiola will be delighted to have been handed a relatively straight forward clash against the underdogs.
City suffered their only defeat of the season in their last group game, but are regarded as England’s best shot at Champions league glory.
Here we run down all you need to know about the tie.
WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME THEY PLAYED BASEL
This will be the first meeting of Basel and City.
ODDS FOR FIRST TIE
City win – 4/6
Draw – 14/5
Basel to win – 4/1
WHEN ARE THE GAMES PLAYED
City travel to Basel on Wednesday February 14 and then close out the tie at the Etihad on Wednesday March 7.
BASEL’S STAR PLAYER

The Ivorian midfielder was the star man in Basel’s 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the group stages.
Geoffrey Serey Die ran the midfield and is a shielding force in front of the back four. City will need to break the 33-year-old down to get to Basel’s defence.
HOW BASEL CAME THROUGH THEIR GROUP
Basel were in the same group as United and a shock victory in the penultimate group game over the English side helped secure their spot in the knockout stages.
After being beaten in the opening game, Basel won four of their remaining five games. The Swiss side are known to English fans having knocked Tottenham out the Europe League in 2013 and completed a Champions League double over Chelsea later that year.

Question: Golan Druze march for Syrian independence day

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

Masada (AFP) - Hundreds of Druze on the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights marched Monday for Syrian independence day, carrying portraits of President Bashar al-Assad and chanting anti-Israel slogans.
"God save Syria!" they shouted as they rallied in the town of Masada. "Down with the occupation!"
Israeli officials say there are about 20,000 Druze on the strategic plateau seized by the Jewish state from neighbouring Syria in the 1967 Six-Day War.
Israel subsequently annexed the 1,200 square kilometres (460 square miles) of territory in an action never recognised by the international community.
But the vast majority of Golan Druze have retained Syrian nationality.
The civil war which has ravaged their homeland for the past six years is reflected in local divisions, with Masada opponents of the Assad regime refusing to march behind his picture.
But both sides are united in their opposition to the Israeli occupation, residents told AFP.
"We retain our Syrian identity and follow the path of national resistance," said Nasser Ibrahim, one of the organisers of Monday's march.
"With the crisis in Syria, Israel has increased its measures on the Golan," said Assad opponent Ayman Abu Jabal, referring to what he called Israeli-ordered changes to the Golan school curriculum.
Israel and Syria are still officially in a state of war, but Israel says it has no wish to get involved in the fighting.
It does, however, carry out strikes against its Lebanese foe Hezbollah, which fights for Assad in Syria.
Last month, Israel struck what it said were Hezbollah targets in Syria, drawing Syrian anti-aircraft missile fire in the worst flare-up between the two governments since the Syrian civil war began in 2011.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has fired a warning at the United States and said it was a 'partner to bloodshed' after Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel sparked violence.
Erdogan bitterly opposes Trump's decision and has sought to mobilise the Muslim world against it, calling a summit of Islamic countries on December 13 in Istanbul.
The Turkish president, who regards himself as a champion of the Palestinian cause, said the 'struggle' of Muslims would not end until there was an independent Palestinian state.
'They will never be able to clean the blood,' he said in a speech in Ankara.

'With this recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, it (the United States) has become a partner to this bloodshed. We do not recognise this decision, we will not,' he added.
Turkey had high hopes for relations under the Trump presidency, but ties have frayed with rows over the Syria conflict, a New York legal case and now Jerusalem.
Erdogan said that the current 'vandalism and cruelty' in Jerusalem would not last. 'Those who think they own Jerusalem today will not find trees to hide behind,' he said.
Trump's move has ignited protests across the Islamic world and deadly violence in the Palestinian territories.
He said Wednesday's summit of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Istanbul would be a 'turning point' on the issue.
And on Monday Hezbollah said it will refocus its efforts on fighting the Palestinian cause in the wake of Trump's decision.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah in Lebanon, called on the group and its allies in the region to present a 'united front' against Israel.
His announcement came as thousands of the group's supporters took to the streets of Beirut chanting 'Death to America!' and 'Death to Israel!' while carrying banners that read 'Jerusalem, Eternal Capital of Palestine' and 'Jerusalem is Ours'.
Nasrallah had called for the demonstration last week.
The marches, along with fresh violence in the West Bank and Gaza, came after Benjamin Netanyahu gave a speech to EU diplomats in Brussels saying Trump's declaration had 'made peace possible.'

Erdogan and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had traded verbal blows at the weekend, with the Turkish leader describing Israel as a 'terrorist state' that kills children.
Hours later Netanyahu hit back, calling his counterpart a leader who bombs Kurdish villagers and supports terrorists, during an official visit to Paris.
However Erdogan did not refer to Netanyahu in his latest speech.
Last year, Turkey and Israel ended a rift triggered by Israel's storming in 2010 of a Gaza-bound ship that left 10 Turkish activists dead and led to a downgrading of diplomatic ties.
The two sides have since stepped up cooperation, particularly in energy, but Erdogan has repeatedly been bitterly critical of Israeli policy.

Mearsheimer and Stephen M. Walt published "The Lobby and U.S. foreign policy" in which they reminded the reader that no two countries share the same vital interests. This obvious truth was ignored. On December 6 th , Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The decision was celebrated in Washington DC and Jerusalem with enthusiasm. Yet, together with Syria\'s Western debacle, it concludes the United States\' dominant role in the Middle East. It is a Pyrrhus victory for Netanyahu, and it puts an end to the honest-broker and two-state pretenses for the Palestinians.\nIt is no secret, Netanyahu and other Israeli officials said it repeatedly: Palestine is Israel\'s homeland. But, Palestinians are in the way. So are the Saudis. The Kingdom, as the keeper of the Faith, is bound to side with the Palestinians. To break Saudi Arabia away from the Palestinians, Israel convinced the Saudis that Iran is their mortal enemy. In this vision, the Iranian threat erases any duty Saudi Arabia may feel vis--vis their Palestinian brothers for the safety of the Kingdom comes first. Israel and Saudi Arabia are now bound by a common enemy. If the plan succeeds, Israelis will have killed two birds with one stone. Iran will be crushed and Palestine will be theirs. Donald Trump\'s decision has no immediate impact on the plan. The Saudi Royal family, led by Mohammed bin Salman , will stick to it. However, not their subjects and the Arabs at large. The chasm between the rulers and the people in the Middle East will rise overtime.\n- Advertisement -\nOn February 14, 1945, Franklin Roosevelt signed with Ibn Saud the Quincy Pact whereby the king traded oil for the protection of the United States. The creation of Israel on May 14, 1948 was followed the next day by the first Arab-Israeli war. Harry Truman who recognized the new state on the day of its creation was caught in a dilemma. He resolved it by posing as the "honest-broker" between the two parties. The posture worked reasonably well until the Yom Kippur War in 1973 when the United States sided with Israel. It no longer was an honest-broker. But the charade lived on with Jimmy Carter\'s Oslo Accord and other initiatives with the same end result.\nSaying the American foreign policy in the Middle East is essentially defined by Israel is stating the obvious. In "A Clean Break, a new strategy for the Realm", Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, David Wurmser and few others partially lift the veil on Israel\'s strategy. The goal is to eliminate any potential competitor in the Middle East. General Wesley Clark confirms it in his October 3, 2007 speech at the Commonwealth Club of California. A friend of his at the Pentagon tells him ten days after 9/11 that "we\'re going to attack and destroy the governments of seven countries in five years" Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Soudan and Iran." Not mincing his words, Clark adds: "This country [the United States] was taken over by a group of people with a policy coup: Wolfowitz and Cheney and Rumsfeld and you can name a half dozen other collaborators from the Project for a New American Century." In effect, Washington DC was planning to do Israel\'s job for none of the seven countries poses any threat to the security of the United States. The Iraqi war is a colossal failure (militarily, financially and humanly), and so is the "uprising" in Syria.\n- Advertisement -\nA Department of Defense memorandum released in May 2015 states: "Western countries, the Gulf States and Turkey are supporting [the Islamists\'] efforts [to control Hasaka and Der Zor in Syria]" while at the same time admitting that "there is a possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist principally in Syria." So, while officially declaring war on terrorism, the United States is helping the terrorists establish an Islamic state! The duplicity of these wars is sickening. Their stupidity is maddening. Besides reading Mearsheimer and Walt, Washington DC\'s officials should have read Isaac Newton. His third law states: "When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body." Russia was bound to come in at some point. It did at the invitation of Bashar al-Assad. It was joined by Iran and later by Turkey -- a NATO member.\nConclusion: The United States\' policy in the Middle East is discredited. Israel has become an apartheid state -- something Ehud Barak warned against. As for the Palestinians, the two-state solution is dead and buried, they have no more illusion regarding their future. "Never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."']

Question: Grease will light up Brighton this Christmas!

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.”

Question: GOP Congress feels it has mandate to undo Obama’s agenda

Represent the article to find a fitting news title.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans’ grip on all levers of power stands as a mandate to the GOP-led Congress, which will move swiftly to try to undo eight years of outgoing President Barack Obama’s agenda.
With Republican President-elect Donald Trump just weeks away from assuming office, GOP lawmakers plan to open the 115th Congress on Tuesday and immediately take steps to repeal Obama’s health care law. Beyond that, they’ll look at a tax overhaul, reversing Obama-era environmental regulations and other conservative priorities.
Republicans will face some obstacles. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says Democrats “stand ready to fight vigorously” to protect health care and other priorities, and Republicans will have to compromise with Senate Democrats to move major legislation through that chamber.
A look at what the 115th Congress will be up to in 2017:
___
NEW MEMBERS
New members of the House and Senate will be sworn in on Tuesday, the first day of the new Congress.
In the Senate, five Democrats and two Republicans will be sworn in for the first time, joined by returning members who won re-election in 2016. After those members are sworn in, there will be 52 Republicans, 46 Democrats and two independents who caucus with the Democrats.
The House will have 52 new members — 27 Republicans and 25 Democrats. There will be 241 Republicans in the House and 194 Democrats.
___
CONFIRMING A NEW CABINET
Trump is sworn in on Jan. 20, and Republicans in the Senate will spend the first days and weeks of his presidency pushing to confirm his Cabinet picks. Democrats changed the rules and curbed the filibuster in 2013, making it easier for Republicans to move nominations. But even though they won’t be able to block Trump’s nominees, Democrats have pledged to fight many of them anyway, highlighting what they say is the hypocrisy of Trump’s populist message and his wealthy, corporate-favoring nominees for several posts.
___
REPEALING OBAMA’S HEALTH CARE LAW
The Senate plans to begin repealing Obama’s health care law on Tuesday, Congress’ very first day, with consideration of a procedural measure that will shield the initiative from Democratic filibusters.
Lawmakers will then spend the next few months working on legislation canceling broad swaths of the law. Likely to go are its mandate that people buy health insurance or face IRS fines, and its expansion of Medicaid coverage to more lower-earning Americans. Some elements of the repeal likely wouldn’t go into effect for two to four years.
Republicans will then begin the more complicated task of building a new system. The GOP will have to craft new programs for the nation’s $3 trillion health care system and make sure insurance markets don’t collapse while the transition is under way.
___
TAX OVERHAUL
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., want a massive overhaul of the tax system with the goal of simplifying a complicated tax code that rewards wealthy people with smart accountants as well as corporations that can easily shift profits and jobs overseas.
It would be the first major tax overhaul in 30 years. Trump has also advocated a tax overhaul, but with fewer details. He promises a tax cut for every income level, with more low-income families paying no income tax at all.
___
SUPREME COURT
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died 11 months ago, but the Senate still hasn’t considered a replacement. That’s because McConnell blocked consideration of Obama’s nominee, Judge Merrick Garland, saying the next president should make the pick. The strategy paid off, and the Republican Senate will consider whomever Trump nominates.
___
MEDICARE CHANGES
Ryan is the most powerful advocate in Washington for an overhaul of Medicare and a premium-support approach that would, over time, remake it into a voucher-like program that could force some seniors entering the program to buy health insurance on the open market instead of getting coverage through the traditional open-ended program.
But his ideas likely will run into a political reality. Trump said on the campaign trail that he wouldn’t cut the program, and Senate Republicans haven’t been as enthusiastic either.
Candidate Trump also initially promised not to cut Medicaid — the federal-state health insurance program for low-income and severely disabled people. During the campaign, Trump seemed to shift, backing “block grants” that limit federal funding.
___
SOCIAL SECURITY
Like Medicare, some House conservatives have said they want to overhaul Social Security and slow the program’s growth to curb spending. But Trump has said he doesn’t want to touch those programs, and Ryan told CBS’ “60 Minutes” in December that he has no plans to change Social Security.
___
REVERSING REGULATIONS
Republican leaders have complained throughout Obama’s presidency about burdensome regulations, a theme Trump used frequently during the campaign as well. GOP lawmakers now want to undo some of Obama’s regulations and executive orders, using the Congressional Review Act, a rarely invoked procedure.
Many of the regulations they are targeting are rules put in place by the Environmental Protection Agency, including the Clean Power Plan to cut carbon pollution from coal-fired power plants, a clean water rule that has drawn the ire of farmers and another rule imposed in December to protect nearby streams from coal-mining debris.
___
INFRASTRUCTURE
Trump made rebuilding the nation’s aging roads, bridges and airports a major part of his job-creation strategy in the presidential race. But those plans appear to have fizzled, somewhat, as GOP leaders have questioned the spending.

It’s one of the most all-consuming questions ever asked in American politics, a tried and true part of any investigation of what could be a serious scandal.
Who knew what? And when?
Good morning from the state capital. I’m Sacramento Bureau Chief John Myers, and we begin with the intense fight over what happens now that retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn has stepped aside as President Trump’s national security advisor.
OUT LIKE FLYNN
Monday night’s sudden and surprising resignation by Flynn (or was it a firing?) came just 24 days into Trump’s presidency. And it’s likely to cause ripples that last for weeks or months.
After several days of damaging accusations about his post-election conversations with Russia’s ambassador, Flynn’s departure may temporarily stop the political bleeding. But it does nothing to stop more worrisome questions about Moscow’s meddling in the U.S. elections, and whether Trump will be able to stay on course with his stated goal of improving relations between the two countries.
TRUMP KNEW FOR THREE WEEKS
Back to those key questions, though, memorialized by the Watergate scandal of 1973 and 1974: What did (insert the name of prominent person here) know, and when did he or she know it?
The White House said Tuesday that the president knew about the concerns over Flynn’s Russian communiqués for three weeks and that Trump had been “evaluating” the situation.
Consider, too, some other notable nuggets offered on Tuesday by Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary. First, he said Trump asked for the resignation — a distinction from early reports that Flynn simply offered it.
And perhaps more important, Spicer sought to portray the entire episode as not “a legal issue, but a trust issue.”
Not that Democrats are buying that.
DEMOCRATS DEMAND ANSWERS
Democrats demanded on Tuesday a full investigation of Flynn’s dealings with Russian leaders. They want an independent review of the situation.
“Gen. Flynn’s resignation is not the end of the story, it is merely the beginning,” said Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.)
Republicans, meanwhile, were less than unanimous in their reactions to what should happen next. House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (D-Wisc.) said he would “leave it up to the administration” to determine what happens next. And two prominent California congressmen, from different parties, are also sparring about the next steps.
Are there other shoes to drop? How does the president react to what will certainly be a drumbeat of Democratic calls for a deeper dive into alleged deception? We’ll keep on top of all of this on our Essential Washington daily news feed.
And while you ponder what’s next, check out our timeline of the events in the Flynn saga.
A LEADER IN IRAQ, NOW AT THE PRESIDENT’S SIDE
Trump tapped retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg to fill Flynn’s boots for now. And the solider has a fascinating backstory, having served as chief of staff to L. Paul Bremer when Bremer led the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq after the 2003 war.
“I’m the guy who’s supposed to make the trains run on time,” said Kellogg at the time, the focus of a 2003 profile in The Times.
IN OTHER TRUMP HEADLINES…
A stinging rebuke was issued Tuesday to Kellyanne Conway, the president’s senior counselor, for her comments last week that seemed to offer free advertising for Ivanka Trump’s clothing and jewelry line.
The Office of Government Ethics said it looked as though Conway’s comments crossed the line.
On the other hand, Tuesday saw success for the president’s choice to lead the Small Business Administration. Linda McMahon was overwhelmingly confirmed by the Senate. She is a former wrestling and entertainment executive who twice ran unsuccessful campaigns for the U.S. Senate.
NO EASY PATH FORWARD ON OBAMACARE
One of the biggest policy debates of 2017, from Washington to here in Sacramento, is what’s next for Republican promises to dismantle the Affordable Care Act.
Two notable markers became clear in the last couple of days. First, new data shows the ranks of the uninsured have dropped to the lowest level ever recorded — just 8.8%. That’s a lot of newly insured Americans who have a stake in what’s crafted to replace Obamacare.
But bad news, too, for some Obamacare recipients: Humana, one of the nation’s largest health insurers, announced on Tuesday that it’s leaving the 2010 law’s exchanges in 2018. That prompted a tweet from Trump that proclaimed the news as evidence of Obamacare’s failure.
ROLLING BACK REGULATIONS
Congressional Republican leaders are churning out a steady stream of bills designed, in part, to undo President Obama’s regulatory agenda.
The list includes coal mining rules and U.S. corporate disclosure regulations.
“With President Trump’s signature, every one of these regulations will be overturned,” said House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Bakersfield).

Question: Critiques fly as Tillerson struggles to define his mission

MANILA, Philippines — In a wood-paneled stateroom in the Philippine presidential palace, Rex Tillerson sat across from a leader who boasts of hunting down drug dealers to personally kill. Whether he'd confront his host for letting police kill thousands — and how forcefully — was being scrutinized for proof the Trump administration has any commitment to human rights.
When the secretary of state ultimately broached it with President Rodrigo Duterte, he backed into it, rattling off U.S. death tolls and addiction rates that tell the story of America's opioid crisis. Then he noted matter-of-factly that Americans have concerns about Duterte's approach to his country's drug war. He offered U.S. help, two participants said.
To Tillerson's many critics, it was the latest underperformance by a secretary they see as abdicating traditional roles and aspirations of American diplomacy. To Tillerson, aides said, it was a concrete solution to a problem, rather than grandstanding for grandstanding's sake.
Since taking office, Tillerson has earned praise from President Donald Trump, top Cabinet members and even some Democrats, including many who take solace in his tempering role in an otherwise frenetic, unpredictable administration. Yet he's also stoked doubts among the foreign policy establishment, with a daily drumbeat of editorials like "Why Has Rex Tillerson Belly-Flopped as Secretary of State?"
And so difficult has Trump made Tillerson's job at times that it has sparked talk of a "Rexit." As with the histrionic headlines, Tillerson has brushed it all off, calmly telling reporters, "I'm not going anywhere."
This account of Tillerson's first six months draws on interviews with roughly two dozen State Department officials, foreign diplomats and other Tillerson associates. Some weren't authorized to comment publicly and demanded anonymity.
___
In private, Tillerson takes issue with his predecessors' approach, especially John Kerry, whose high public profile and constant travel became a running State Department joke. Drawing contrast with Kerry, Tillerson has told associates he can get more done if countries can negotiate in confidence without their positions being dissected in the press.
That argument hasn't caught on among the chorus of diplomats and foreign policy scholars claiming he's squandering his only real leverage. After all, diplomats don't use weapons, only words.
"I think he came to the job with a feeling that America was approaching foreign policy with too much of a missionary zeal. We were telling the world what they ought to do," said John Hamre, president of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, where Tillerson served 11 years on the board.
Two decades ago, as Tillerson was rising through Exxon, the oil company merged with Mobil to become the world's biggest. Tillerson has told aides the State Department redesign is much harder.
"This takes time," said R.C. Hammond, a senior Tillerson adviser. "We're not changing one light switch. We're rewiring an entire house."
___
Tillerson locked in his under-the-radar reputation early, when he told the sole reporter allowed to travel with him at the time that he was "not a big media press access person."
At Exxon, that approach paid off, and the company flourished. Corporations are rarely harmed by their CEOs avoiding the limelight.
But in Washington, that approach denies Tillerson the chance to define his own narrative. The vacuum is filled by constant rumours , leaks and reports that — left largely unchallenged by Tillerson — have reached sky-is-falling proportions:
—That promotion of a just, democratic world may be removed from the department mission statement. An early draft didn't include it, but officials say the final version likely will.
—That Tillerson wants to move Consular Affairs, which handles passports and visas, to the Homeland Security Department. Both Tillerson and Deputy Secretary John Sullivan oppose the move.
—That Tillerson's hiring freeze and rampant vacancies throughout upper management have hamstrung the department, leaving foreign countries with no empowered point person. Responsibility lies partially with Tillerson, partially with Trump, although Tillerson says he wants it to move faster.
"There are elements of truth in some of these stories," Sullivan said. "But then they're twisted in a way that makes it sound as though the secretary is out of touch, mismanaging, whatever."
___
No secretary before has worked for a president like Trump. So often is Tillerson contradicted or undermined that foreign diplomats question when he truly speaks for his boss.
Just as Tillerson was trying to calm matters by downplaying prospects for a North Korea military conflict, Trump reaffirmed his "fire and fury" threat and boasted about U.S. nuclear weapons.
But Trump also defends Tillerson, saying Friday they were "totally on the same page." Tillerson often downplays signs of incongruity between their messages, and on North Korea, Tillerson says boss was merely "trying to support our efforts by ensuring that North Korea understands what the stakes are."
___
Six months in, Tillerson presides over a State Department deeply uneasy about its future, but still hopeful he'll lead American diplomacy more successfully than panicked editorials predict.
"It's to be expected that we will go through some morale issues early on," Tillerson said this month. But, he added, "I cannot change what we're doing from a policy standpoint, if that's what's behind people's unhappiness."
