Question: Defense spending highlighted as Mattis attends NATO meeting

Listen To The Story Marketplace Embed Code
U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis is in Brussels today for a meeting of defense ministers from the 28-member NATO alliance. It’s the first NATO meeting for Mattis since he took office. The U.S. contributes some 70 percent of the overall defense expenditure of NATO countries, and the issue of defense spending will likely be front and center.

['Represent this text to find a news title for it', 'The LeBron James vs. Michael Jordan arguments that litter Twitter are a lot like Beatles vs. Rolling Stones, with more decimal points.\nAnother parallel would be Ditka vs. Hurricane, as provided by “Saturday Night Live,” in which Bill Swerski’s Super Fans debate just how omnipotent a certain coach of the Chicago Bears really is. “Who would win?” asked the host. “And what if the hurricane was named Ditka?”\nNot even Jordan, as a special guest, got involved in that. “Who cares?” he said.\nThese debates are nothing new: Bird vs. Magic. Mantle vs. Mays. Petty vs. Pearson. In-N-Out vs. … ah, forget it.\nThe difference is that those were actually real-live protagonists. Jordan is long gone. LeBron vs. Michael isn’t even a good duplicate bridge comparison, because the situations, the officiating, the offenses, the opponents and the supporting casts are so different.\nIt insults Jordan and it’s completely unfair to James. Isn’t LeBron doing enough already? Why must he go one-on-one with shadows?\nOn Thursday night, James begins his eighth consecutive NBA Finals as Cleveland plays Golden State. The only others to do that were Bill Russell (10), Sam Jones (nine), Tom Heinsohn (nine) and Frank Ramsey (eight) of the Celtics, during a 10-year run that began in 1956-57. Only in the 10th year did the NBA have an 82-game schedule. Those first three Boston teams played 72 games per season.\nThe 1957 Celtics had to win but seven playoff games for a title. The 1966 Celtics needed 11 wins. Those Finals were all done by April 28. This year? Game 7 is set for June 17.\nSo James has had the shortest vacations of anyone in NBA history. Yet, at 33, he led the league in minutes played per game during the regular season. He has 3,287 more regular-season minutes on his odometer than Jordan ever had.\nWhen Jordan made his final shot for the Chicago Bulls in Utah and wrapped up the double three-peat, he was 35. He left the game, coming back three years later as his own tribute band for Washington. James will turn 34 on Dec. 30. Neither body nor soul seems tired.\nDespite James, Golden State is an 8-to-1 betting favorite. It’s a reflection of how Cleveland’s Others are disrespected.\nSome think this is the most pedestrian group of elves that ever has surrounded James, which is not true. In 2007, James dragged Larry Hughes, Eric Snow, Boobie Gibson, Drew Gooden, Damon Jones, Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Anderson Varejao to the Unpromised Land, and a sweep at the hands of San Antonio. That group wasn’t as good as this Cavaliers ensemble, and that James wasn’t as good as this one.\nCleveland’s locker room has had more traffic than a dentist’s office at a hockey tournament. There have been 22 different Cavaliers, including Dwyane Wade, Jae Crowder and Isaiah Thomas. Thirteen of them averaged 20 or more minutes.\nIt should be a long meeting to divide up playoff shares. But the current team, the one that beat Boston in Boston in Game 7, might be more versatile and dangerous than you think.\nThe overlooked figure is Tristan Thompson. The track record of Kardashian boyfriends is not that good, and Thompson is linked with Khloe. Yet he’s also linked with the 2016 championship, which Cleveland won in seven at Golden State. In Game 6, he had 15 points and 16 boards.\nWhen Thompson has played 25-plus minutes in this postseason, Cleveland is 5-2.\nNot every Other has to play great each night for Cleveland to win. George Hill can surface. So can Jeff Green. Larry Nance Jr.’s passion and wingspan can counteract whatever big men come off the Warriors’ bench. Kyle Korver is a 3-point institution and a willing scrapper.\nThings are different if Kevin Love can overcome his concussion. The same can be said if Golden State’s Andre Iguodala, the Finals MVP in 2015, is healthy enough to chase James around.\nGolden State invested deeply to beat Houston. Its familiar ball movement only sprouted in spurts. Its defense came and went. In the end, the Warriors beat a team that missed 27 consecutive 3-pointers in Game 7 and didn’t have Chris Paul. The Cavaliers will not be suckered into a longball derby. This time, the strength in numbers is theirs.\nJames might well bring a championship to the Lakers next season. He also might bring this trophy with him if he signs in July.\nWe can wait a month for all that. For the moment, we’ll watch James take on history. But what if history is named James?'] == ['Represent this title to get a news article that provides more details about it', 'Whicker: Warriors favored, but it’s good to be The King']

Question: Halifax police Chief Jean Michel Blais announces retirement

Represent this text to find a news title for it

After almost six years on the job, Halifax's top cop is retiring.
Halifax Regional Police Chief Jean Michel Blais will step down from the role by March 31, 2019.
"Leading the dedicated Halifax Regional Police team and serving our community as chief of police have been two of the greatest privileges of my professional life," said Blais in a news release issued Wednesday afternoon. "The decision to retire is not one I made lightly."
Blais joined the police force in 2012 after a 25-year career with the RCMP.
During his time at the helm, Blais grappled with issues including missing drug evidence, findings that black people were three times more likely to be stopped by police than white people and complaints within the police force that employees were not receiving adequate PTSD treatment. Blais himself was diagnosed with PTSD after serving three tours with the United Nations in Haiti.
"Our employees' dedication to service and commitment to our communities has been a constant source of inspiration to me in this role," Blais said in the news release. "We have made great progress together as a team — and I thank all our employees and citizens of Halifax Regional Municipality for this incredible honour to serve."
In the news release, Coun. Steve Craig, the chair of the Board of Police Commissioners, thanked Blais for his service.
"His leadership has played a strong role in positioning HRP and its employees for exceptional service of our community well into the future."

Question: Angie Motshekga to intervene in KZN school crisis

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

Durban - Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga is planning to intervene in the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Education’s financial “crisis”.
Motshekga is expected to meet the National Teachers’ Union (Natu) leadership on March 28 to discuss allegations the union has made that the department mismanaged funds.
She said should she find that the evidence presented by Natu was strong enough, she would consider establishing a forensic investigation.
The “cash-strapped” department, according to teacher unions, was in such dire financial crisis that it needed an urgent intervention to manage what was left of its R47.5 billion 2017/ 2018 budget allocation, and needed stricter financial management going forward.
Natu has briefed Motshekga on the allegations of irregularities in the payment of Norms and Standards, a budget allocation mainly used to buy textbooks and stationery.
The union also claimed there were no teachers for certain subjects since the beginning of the year.
The union has invited Motshekga to intervene by establishing an urgent forensic investigation into the provincial department’s affairs.
Allen Thompson, Natu’s deputy president, said: “We have proof which suggests that money is being used on things that are important, but not urgent.
“We have reports that sanitary pads are piled up in schools’ storerooms while some classrooms remain without teachers,” he said.
According to Thompson, there are more than 400 vacant positions for teachers, subject advisers and office-based positions.
The Daily News recently published a story about a KwaDukuza teacher who has been working as a substitute teacher for 14 years, in the place of a teacher on extended leave.
In response, Motshekga said: “I agree with Natu, and from our own monitoring as the national department, we are picking up a number of challenges.
“I am going to intervene - even if it means that cabinet needs to get involved.
“I am shocked to hear that there are schools that have been without teachers in some subjects since the beginning of the year,” she said.
Motshekga said KZN was the biggest and the most important province because this was where the bulk of schoolchildren were.
“If KZN goes down, the whole country goes down, and we have seen this happening with the matric results.
“About 25% of matric candidates are in KZN. We need to make sure things do not go wrong in KZN. The non-filling of posts is a sensitive issue and needs my urgent intervention.
“I am not saying the provision of sanitary pads is not important, but there are more urgent needs such as employing teachers, and providing desks and books,” she said.
However, Thirona Moodley of the National Professional Teachers’ Organisation of South Africa (Naptosa) felt there was no need for a forensic investigation.
She said the fact that the department was in a financial crisis was not a secret.
“The head of department has been vocal about the fact that there is a cash block because the department has overspent its budget and was waiting for the new budget to kick in at the end of this month, to pay some of its service providers,” she said.
Department spokesperson Kwazi Mthethwa, however, insisted there was no crisis in the department. He said the issues of budget constraints was a national problem that was not specific to the KZN education department.
“To say that budget constraints our department is going through is a KZN phenomenon is not true. That is why even President Cyril Ramaphosa was talking about the economic recovery of the country.”

Shondoni Secondary School has become the latest building to be burnt with at least 30 others gutted during protests in the area in 2016.
JOHANNESBURG - Limpopo police have confirmed that yet another school has been torched in Vuwani.
Shondoni Secondary School has become the latest building to be burnt with at least 30 others gutted during protests in the area in 2016.
Police’s Motlafela Mojapelo says the suspects broke open the burglar doors of the admin block and then set the building alight.
He says the motive of the attack is still unknown.
"Anyone with information is requested to contact Brigadier James Espag at 082 576 0753 or call the police emergency number 086 10 111."
The Vuwani Demarcation Task Team has condemned the burning the school.
The team says the torching of the school has nothing to do with demarcation disputes that affected the area in the past two years.
Spokesperson Nsovo Sambo says the attack is barbaric and has called on police to arrest those involved.
“We cannot continue with a situation whereby people just keep on destroying the future and nothing is done about them so they need to dissent to the scene and ensure that they deploy the intelligence to deal with the issues.”
The Limpopo Basic Education Department says the burning of schools sets back the rollout of much-needed infrastructure.
Education spokesman Sam Makondo says this delays the academic program of Shondoni Secondary School as it will be dealing with administrative and infrastructure issues now.
“The burning of school property is uncalled for and it takes away the basic right to basic education and, of course, delays the academic program of teaching and learning as scheduled”

Question: Singer Joy Villa Wears Trump Dress to the Grammys?

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

Who is Joy Villa and why did she wear a dress that paid homage to President Donald Trump to 2017 Grammy Awards?
The 25-year-old artist who describes herself as a singer, vegan and bodybuilder on Instagram, used her red carpet appearance on Sunday to make a political statement.
Villa shocked the crowd when she peeled off her white coat to reveal a dress with the words “Make America Great Again,” and “Trump” bedazzled on the front and back.
Many saw Villa’s action as a direct message to her liberal counterparts who voiced strong opinions at previous award shows against Trump and his divisive policies.
The exposure gave Villa’s record sales a boost as her EP “I Make The Static” is now one of the top trending albums on iTunes.
Half of Twitter erupted into full on read mode after Villa’s photo went viral.
@Joy_Villa ….your sell out game is strong. — Michelle Vargas (@VargasSTL) February 13, 2017

Andre Soriano, the fashion designer behind the dress who is also a naturalized citizen from the Philippines, told The Hollywood Reporter that the dress spreads a message of unity.
“I love this country. I’m from the Philippine islands, I am a proud American. I really love this country. I am a minority, Joy is black. America is about immigrants,” Soriano said.

Question: 2 big insurance breakups on Valentine's Day

It was a rough day for the already-roiled U.S. health insurance market: One giant merger was abandoned, another is threatened by infighting, and a major insurer announced it will stop selling coverage on public exchanges in 11 states.
Both merger deals had already been rejected by federal regulators and judges, but the companies were considering appeals to those decisions. Now they both appear to be off.
Aetna said it was abandoning its planned $34 billion purchase of Medicare Advantage provider Humana early Tuesday. Then, later in the day, Cigna said it is suing Anthem to kill a $48 billion acquisition bid.
FILE - In this Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2014, file photo, a pedestrian walks past a sign for Aetna Inc., at the company headquarters in Hartford, Conn. Aetna and Humana are calling off a $34 billion deal to combine the two major health insurers after a federal judge, citing antitrust concerns, shot down the deal. (AP Photo/Jessica Hill, File)
The deals were conceived as a way to help the insurers increase their enrollment and cut down on expenses in part so they could improve their performances on the Affordable Care Act's public insurance exchanges. Big insurers have been hit with substantial losses from the exchanges, even though they represent a relatively small part of their overall business. Many have already cut back their offerings, and that has slashed customer choices in markets around the country.
The collapse of one deal and the uncertain future of the other could hurt shoppers on the exchanges next year by leaving them with even fewer options and potentially higher prices. Humana told investors late Tuesday that it was abandoning it exchanges in all 11 of its states as of the beginning of next year.
Humana, based in Louisville, Kentucky, was the only insurer on exchanges in 16 Tennessee counties, according to data compiled at the start of the 2017 open enrollment period by the Associated Press and health care consulting firm Avalere. That means customers in those counties may have no way to buy coverage with help from government tax credits next year unless another insurer decides to enter those markets.
Every exchange in the U.S. had at least one insurer selling coverage on it for 2017, according to Larry Levitt of the nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation, which studies health care issues.
Morningstar insurance analyst Vishnu Lekraj said it's possible all the four insurers involved in the deals could leave the exchanges.
Aetna Chairman and CEO Mark Bertolini raised that possibility months ago. He said that if his company's planned, was blocked, "we believe it is very likely that we would need to leave the public exchange business entirely," according to court documents filed in that case.
Aetna, based in Hartford, Connecticut, says it lost $450 million last year on ACA-compliant coverage, while the company booked an overall profit of $2.27 billion. Its loss on ACA-compliant business was $100 million more than it expected.
Bertolini said recently that his company would announce by April 1 whether it will remain in any of its exchanges. "We're looking at everything," he said.
Government and industry officials have said President Donald Trump's administration and congressional Republicans are weighing measures to stabilize the wobbly exchanges. Insurers have been pushing them to act soon.
"The clock is definitely ticking for the Trump administration to provide some clarity around what the rules will be," Levitt said.
In suing to end its tie-up, Cigna, based in Bloomfield, Connecticut, said it wants more than $13 billion in damages from its onetime-companion Anthem, the Blue Cross-Blue Shield insurer, which is based in Indianapolis.
Cigna says it is seeking a $1.85 billion termination fee from Anthem and billions more in damages for what it says were Anthem's breaches of the merger agreement.
The insurer says the damages include the amount Cigna shareholders would have received if the merger had not failed. It noted that Anthem assumed full responsibility for litigation strategy and getting the necessary regulatory approvals, suggesting that it was Anthem's responsibility to push the deal through.
"Cigna fulfilled all of its contractual obligations and fully cooperated with Anthem throughout the approval process," the insurer said in a statement.
An Anthem spokeswoman says Cigna has no right to end the deal, and it remains committed to closing the transaction. The insurer had just filed on Monday paperwork to appeal the federal court ruling.
Anthem and Aetna put their acquisition bids together in 2015 and touted them as a way to grow enrollment and reap savings that they would then pass on to consumers.
The deal would have given Aetna the opportunity to significantly expand its presence in Medicare Advantage coverage, which involves privately run versions of the federal Medicare program for people who are over 65 or disabled.
But the Department of Justice had sued last summer to stop the deals, due to concerns about how they may affect prices and consumer choices. Federal judges then rejected the acquisitions in separate rulings filed earlier this year.
The deals would have combined four of the nations' five largest insurers. UnitedHealth Group is the largest.

2017 kicks off with a celestial pairing...
A host of special sights are in store for sky gazers in 2017. The new year began with a cool conjunction of the waxing crescent moon and the dazzling planet Venus on Jan. 1. On Monday, they’ll be back for an encore — except this time the moon will have shifted between Venus and Mars. You’ll be able to watch the planets of love and war sticking close together all through January. But the major astronomical event of 2017 will be the total solar eclipse on Aug. 21 when the moon completely blocks the sun. Best of all, this can be witnessed in the United States, from sea to shining sea. We haven't had a total solar eclipse in the mainland U.S. since 1979.
Skip in Skip x Embed x Share NASA scientists are so pumped for the total solar eclipse of 2017, they've set up an official countdown several months out. Probably because a spectacle like this hasn't been seen from coast to coast across America in 99 years. Sean Dowling (@seandowlingtv) has more. Buzz60
...and some big kick-offs.
Monday marks another day of crème de la crème college football. Iowa and Florida kick things off in the Outback Bowl at 1 p.m. ET on ABC. Wisconsin and Western Michigan will duke it out — also at 1 p.m. ET — in the Cotton Bowl Classic on ESPN. Penn State takes on USC at 5 p.m. ET (ESPN) in the Rose Bowl. Oklahoma and Auburn hope to end the day on a sweet note in the Sugar Bowl at 8:30 p.m. ET (ESPN).

Once-bullish January has become treacherous for stock market
January used to be a bullish month for U.S. stocks. But not so in recent years. Since 2000, the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index has posted losses in January in 10 of the past 17 years, including a 5.1% drop in the first month of 2016. January now ranks No. 6 out of the 12 months in terms of performance, says The Stock Trader’s Almanac. The good news? The S&P 500 has posted an average January gain of 0.7% in year one of a president’s term since 1950. So with President-elect Donald Trump set to move into the White House in January, the chances are good that positive gains in the first month of 2017 will translate into a full-year gain. That said, how the S&P 500 fares in the first five trading days of January 2017 could serve as an “early warning” signal as to how the full year will play out.

Authorities continue to search for the gunman behind the New Year's attack on Istanbul's Reina club on Tuesday. Officials have investigated possible links to the Islamic State, which were bolstered overnight by a statement circulating on social media reportedly from the Islamic State. The terror group takes credit for the attack, claiming it was payback against Turkey for its role in airstrikes in neighboring Syria. Investigators are looking into whether the assailant is linked to a group within the Islamic State that orchestrated the attack at the Ataturk Airport in June.

Question: NY gas prices drop slightly, but prices rise nationally

represent this text to find a news title for it

Average retail gasoline prices in New York have fallen 0.6 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.69 per gallon Sunday.
This compares with the national average, which has increased 2.5 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.54, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.
Including the change in gas prices in New York during the past week, prices Sunday were 27.4 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 4.6 cents per gallon lower than a month ago.
The national average has increased 2.9 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 25.3 cents per gallon higher than this day a year ago.

According to GasBuddy historical data, gasoline prices on March 19 in New York have ranged widely over the last five years: $2.41 per gallon in 2017, $2.03 per gallon in 2016, $2.59 per gallon in 2015, $3.74 per gallon in 2014 and $3.94 per gallon in 2013.
“Gas prices remained mostly in check over the last week, yet the national average pushed higher as seasonal factors continue to weigh on the market, led by jumps at the pump in some Great Lakes states over the weekend,” said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. “The national average now stands at its highest level in over a month and is likely to continue moving higher in the weeks ahead as demand continues to recover from the winter blues and the transition to summer gasoline kicks into high gear. Overall, gas prices this spring will come in some 10-25 percent higher than a year ago, removing billions of dollars from other areas of the economy that will instead be funneled to the pump.”

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Holiday travel will be less expensive on Oklahoma's highways than anywhere else in the nation, and Arkansas motorists won't pay much more.
AAA said Monday that the average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in Oklahoma is $2.19 - the lowest in the US. Gas prices in Arkansas are 3 cents higher at an average of $2.22 a gallon.
During the past week, the national average gas price dropped 2 cents to $2.46. AAA says drivers can expect pump prices to continue to drop heading into the holiday season as supply strengthens. AAA spokesperson Leslie Gamble says gasoline demand is expected to weaken throughout the winter.
AAA says West Coast gas prices are among the highest in the country, with motorists in California paying $3.13 per gallon.

Question: Firefighters brace for second week of California wildfires

By The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Officials say the largest, most destructive wildfire burning in Southern California is expected to grow as it enters its second week.
The Thomas Fire north of Los Angeles has burned more than 270 square miles, prompted tens of thousands of evacuations and destroyed nearly 800 structures.
The fire that started Dec. 4 is 15 percent contained. It was fanned by dry Santa Ana winds that spit embers ahead of fire lines.
Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown says the containment number will likely go down not because of a lack of progress, but because of the fire’s expected growth.
The National Weather Service says gusts up to 40 mph are expected through Monday.

Question: Human remains found near Bay d'Espoir identified as 54-year-old man

Police say human remains found near the Bay d'Espoir Highway on May 18 have been identified as a 54-year-old man from Newfoundland and Labrador.
His cause of death is not believed to be suspicious, according to a media release issued late Wednesday afternoon by Grand Falls-Windsor RCMP.
The man had not been reported as a missing person, police added.
At the request of his family, his name is not being released.
The RCMP's forensic identification section examined the scene when the remains were first discovered — about five kilometres south of the Trans-Canada Highway in central Newfoundland — and at the time said "the investigation is ongoing with consideration being given to this being a non-criminal incident."

Authorities in Jefferson County say a 63-year-old Sequim pharmacist was the pilot aboard a small plane that crashed last week, killing all four people on board. Jefferson County prosecuting attorney and coroner, Michael Haas, identified the victims as pilot Jon Bernhoft, his 61-year-old fiancee Carla Parke and her two grandchildren - a 9-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl, both of Bellingham.

Question: China's graft watchdog warns officials over 'concealed' extravagance

represent this text to find a news title for it:

BEIJING (REUTERS) - Chinese officials trying to hide dishonest spending with tricks such as throwing extravagant parties in private will be targeted in a sustained campaign to root out hedonism, the top anti-graft watchdog said on Monday (Dec 11).
Concealing spending by holding lavish dinners in private homes, passing off pampering at a spa as "recuperation" from work and going sightseeing while on business trips are all in the sights of the graft busters.
President Xi Jinping has waged a five-year war on graft at all levels of the ruling Communist Party, from high-level"tigers" to lowly "flies" and has pledged to keep up the fight until officials dare not, cannot and do not want to be corrupt.
A crackdown on hedonism and extravagance in a drive to improve professionalism is to go on in Xi's second term, an unidentified official from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection told the official Xinhua news agency.
"Efforts to address such misconduct should not be stopped and the work to improve the party's conduct and work styles should never end," Xinhua cited Xi as saying in a personal stamp of approval.
Petty corruption such as trying to hide extravagance in"concealed locations" will be targeted, as will the use of public funds to organise holidays in the name of recuperation, the official said.
Officials have been trying to get big spending through by organising things such as weddings and funerals "bit by bit", staggering gift giving and accepting electronic gift cards or"red packets" of money via online payment platforms, the official said.
Although the anti-graft drive had improved the atmosphere in society, there could be "no intermission and no rests", the official said.
The CCDI official also warned that officials still suffer from excess "formalism" and "bureaucratism", Communist Party terms for failing to carry out central party orders.
When hosting visiting officials, some local-level cadres just take them on the same tourist trail where they speak to the same people as if watching a "fashion show", said the official.
Some attempt to cook the books, or "beautify" their data, to claim success and secure a quick promotion without actually getting the job done, while others simply take a laissez-faire attitude to improving work style.
"Cadres fond of formalism and bureaucratism who create a negative influence or grave results will be strictly punished, without tolerance," the official said.

A total of 55 suspects involved in telecom and online fraud cases have been returned to China from Indonesia, China Ministry of Public Security said on Saturday.
The suspects were linked to more than 60 criminal cases, covering more than 20 Chinese provinces and involving 30 million yuan (about 4.7 million dollars), the ministry said in a statement.
It said Chinese police sent a team to Indonesia in June 2017 to work with local police, adding that from August 2017 to date, 143 such suspects were brought back to China from Indonesia.
In another development, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate (SPP), said that a total of 2,089 prosecutors were investigated from 2013 to 2017 for violating laws.
According to the figure that was released at an SPP national meeting on clean governance and anti-corruption, it said the prosecutors violated the eight-point frugality code issued after the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012.
“The frugality code requires officials to strictly practice frugality and clean up undesirable work styles.
“The SPP asked prosecution organs at various levels to keep high pressure on corruption and focus on the abuse of power, embezzlement and bribery.
“Efforts will also be made to facilitate the collection of tips and giving feedback,’’ the statement said.

The annual Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue – which is apparently still exciting for men despite the existence of the entire internet – is here. Per People, “the theme of this year’s issue centers on body diversity and age inclusion.” The theme is especially well-communicated on the three different covers, which feature Kate Upton, Kate Upton, and … Kate Upton.
As Jezebel points out, there has been talk in “Page Six” that Upton demanded a cover this year; as of last week, sources said that the three covers would feature Serena Williams and Christie Brinkley, as well Upton. Come publication day, it was three Uptons, one of whom was involved in a game of cat’s cradle that went horribly wrong.
Though in Upton’s defense, she tried to mix it up by only doing the hand bra on two of the covers.

AUSTIN, Texas — A student at a middle school in Texas paid a stripper to visit campus on Thursday, school administrators confirmed to the American-Statesman.
According to the paper, the woman went to the provided address around 11:30 a.m. on Thursday. When she arrived and discovered it was Grisham Middle School, she called the front office and explained what happened.
According to Jenny LaCoste-Caputo, a spokeswoman for Round Rock Independent School District, the woman did not enter the school.
The student used his cell phone to call the stripper and paid for the services using his parent’s credit card, according to CBS Austin.
School officials said the student is facing “disciplinary action.”
In an email sent to parents and obtained by the American-Statesman, Principal Paige Hadziselimovic explained what happened on Thursday:
“Our staff handled the situation with the utmost decorum and professionalism. While regrettable, the incident had no negative impact on any students, other than the student who is responsible.”

Question: Trump's first weeks spawn anxiety, discord at some companies

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

NEW YORK — President Donald Trump’s first weeks in office have spawned anxiety and even arguments at some workplaces, putting owners — especially at smaller companies — in the position of needing to protect peace and productivity.
At software maker BetterWorks, CEO Kris Duggan has noticed a drop in productivity since Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration, with staffers distracted and having less energy as some of their focus shifted to politics.
Related Articles California’s total infrastructure needs? $65 billion per year, group says

Cartoons: How Donald Trump handles immigration
Will Congress block California’s retirement savings program?
Cartoons: Valentine’s Day “They’re wound up, thinking about what march they’re going to,” says Duggan. His company, which makes business management programs and has a staff of about 100, is based in Redwood City, California.
Duggan says he’s aware that employees aren’t getting much rest on weekends — instead of decompressing, they spend time on social media, sharing content that makes them uneasy.
Divided feelings over Trump’s policies and personality affected workplaces of all sizes before the election too, but owners say there are more discussions now between co-workers that can turn disruptive. While plenty of workplaces haven’t had issues or say their employees feel reassured by the new president, others say staffers have been subdued and distracted.
A survey conducted after the Republican and Democratic national conventions last year found a quarter of the 927 workers questioned said political conversations at work negatively affected them, reducing their productivity and creating stress. The survey, released the American Psychological Association, a professional organization, also found that a fifth of the participants were avoiding some co-workers because of their political views, a sign of increasing hostility in the workplace. There are few signs those emotions have waned.
After Trump issued an executive order restraining immigration from seven Muslim countries, staffers at Lou Hoffman’s marketing company started worrying about a co-worker from one of those nations who’s in the process of applying for a green card. The employees were concerned that she might be sent back to that country, which he declined to name.
“At times, as you would expect, you can hear the strain in her voice,” says Hoffman, owner of The Hoffman Agency, based in San Jose, California. “It’s a combination of unsettling and disturbing, and a feeling among the staff of, ‘Why does it have to come to this?'”
The staff has kept on working, but their morale has been affected. “I do see more worried faces,” Hoffman says.
Human resources consultant David Lewis has been getting calls from small business clients asking how to handle discord among their staffers and ultimately keep employees working constructively.
“People have stopped working with each other in the same way. They’ve changed their opinions of their co-workers. Clients have seen in some situations open arguments,” says Lewis, CEO of Operations Inc., based in Norwalk, Connecticut.
One client had to intervene in a three-way disagreement over Trump’s then-proposed immigration order. When two staffers began arguing, the third broke in to say her parents had come to the U.S. to escape what was happening in their home country, and had done nothing wrong to warrant being deported. The client called Operations Inc. for some guidance on how to manage the situation, and prevent others from happening.
After the calls started coming in, Lewis decided to take action with his own business. “I don’t view my workplace as different from any other in terms of that potential volatility,” he says.
Lewis sent a message to his staff that he suggested clients also give their employees. It notes that Operations Inc. has a positive culture and that employees work together in harmony. But it acknowledges that political passions about issues like immigration, the media and women’s rights could hurt that culture, and create an atmosphere that would make people not want to work there. Lewis requested that staff members think about each other’s feelings, and the company’s well-being, before they launch into a political conversation.
He asked that such conversations “be carefully considered in advance and handled with the utmost level of sensitivity and care.”
Owners who see a change in morale or productivity shouldn’t try to ban political conversation, says Midge Seltzer, president of EngagePEO, a human resources provider based in Hollywood, Florida. A better approach is to remind everyone why they’re there — to conduct company operations. That’s something bosses also have to do if staffers get distracted during events like the NCAA basketball tournament.
Some companies see staffers happier. The five employees at Stephen Twomey’s website design and marketing company have been upbeat since the inauguration.
“Knowing that we have a president who puts the safety of Americans at the forefront of their policy lets them rest safer,” says Twomey, owner of MasterMind, based in Traverse City, Michigan.
Still, the uneasiness at some small companies comes from uncertainty about changes in government policy.
At Clear, a new online bank, staffers are coming to co-owner Tyler McIntyre with questions about how changes in the Dodd-Frank banking law promised by Trump and lawmakers will affect the company. McIntyre is already seeing big banks that partner with his company becoming more cautious about their planned alliances, and his 10 employees are concerned about their jobs.
“When everyone’s phone starts vibrating from breaking news alerts, you hear this quiet come over the office,” says McIntyre, whose company is based in New York.
Owners will need to stay vigilant to help staffers keep their emotions at bay and their focus on their work, Lewis says. But they shouldn’t get involved in political discussions, Seltzer says.
“They should be leading by example. They need to stay neutral,” she says.

Almost a year after a bridge across the Savitri river in Mahad collapsed, the state’s Public Works Department is ready to throw open the new bridge in June.
“After the incident, we had targeted that the new bridge should be completed before the rains, and I am happy to announce that on June 5, it will be inaugurated by Nitin Gadkari and Uddhav Thackeray,” said Chandrakant Dada Patil, Maharashtra’s Revenue Minister.
On the night of August 2, 2016, two buses and about 10 private vehicles fell into a swollen Savitri river after a British-era bridge was washed away near Mahad on the Mumbai-Goa national highway, killing close to 30 people.
Speaking at a press conference, Patil claimed, “Since the NDA government has come to power at the Centre, Maharashtra has seen an increase of close to 15,000 km increase in national highways being constructed — a surge from 5,600 kms to 19,525 kms. The central government is spending Rs 1 lakh crore on this work and of this, the DPR is ready for projects worth Rs 70,000 crore,with the tender process on. During the monsoon, we plan to complete technical things such as preparing the DPR, issuing tender and work orders and completing the loan procedure. The work should begin by September 15 and should be completed by January 2019.”
The widening of the Mumbai-Goa highway, also called the National Highway 66, to a four-lane road is one of these projects. The first phase from Panvel to Indapur is scheduled to be completed by March 2018, while the remaining stretch from Indapur to Zarap should be completed by January 2019 in 10 packages.
“Along with the inauguration of the bridge, we will also conduct the bhoomipujan for the Sindhudurg portion of the Mumbai- Goa Highway widening and should begin work,” he added.
That apart, the Centre is also planning to develop a Coastal Highway on the Mumbai-Goa route and the PWD is working on the DPR for the project.
“The DPR is almost complete and the tenders should be floated by May 31. The Coastal Highway will not only help vehicular flow, but also boost tourism in the area,” said Patil.

They will offer classical and traditional music from across the Middle-East, featuring the great composers of Syria and Egypt and performed by virtuoso Syrian musicians with a passion for their heritage: oud player Rihab Azar, bassist Fajer Alabdallah and percussionist Jamal AlSaka (Riq and Mazhar).
Meg Hamilton, co-organiser of the series, said: “Amici Concerts has often featured fascinating programmes of Middle Eastern music at Chichester’s St Pancras Church during the Festival. This year July our city welcomes young female oudist Rihab Azar and her Zamaan trio of Syrian musicians.”
Rihab said: “Zamaan means time in Arabic. I will be performing classical and traditional music from different areas of the Middle-East and will include music by the greatest composers of Syria and Egypt.
“I was born into a musical family in Syria,” she explains. “It is not often one comes across a female instrumentalist performing Arabic music.
“Traditionally the women sing. My father and first teacher is a luthier and made my first oud for me when I was seven years old.”
Rihab has studied and taught music at the Conservatoire of Damascus and in 2014 was the first woman oudist to perform as a soloist with the Syrian National Orchestra for Arabic Music.
“I moved to England in 2015 to study music education at University College London which has been a very exciting journey,” she says. Rihab’s studies in the UK have been sponsored by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Arts Council England, and she now performs at festivals and arts centres around the country as well as on BBC radio.

Question: Brie Larson on her success

It only took 20 years for Brie Larson to become an overnight success.
The Oscar-winning star of the drama Room and the future Captain Marvel herself has been acting since she was a child.
At age six, the Sacramento native became the youngest student ever to attend the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco.
Acting in childhood, Larson says, “Was a playground for me to be able to express all these things that were confusing to me, or things I wanted to know more about, to try on different people, different ways of doing things."
The self-described shy child began her career in television. She made her film debut in the 1999 movie, Special Delivery, and appeared in such films as 13 Going on 30, Sleepover and Hoot, graduating to roles in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, 21 Jump Street, Rampart and The Spectacular Now; on television, she starred in United States of Tara, among other projects.
In 2013, Larson, 27, was in two films — Don Jon and Short Term 12 — that brought her critical attention. Trainwreck and Room made 2015 a ‘breakout’ year for the young actress, and she is currently in theatres starring in Kong: Skull Island.
Later this year, Larson will make her feature directorial debut with Unicorn Store; she also stars in the movie alongside Samuel L. Jackson, Joan Cusack and Bradley Whitford.
This week, Larson’s new movie, Free Fire, opens in theatres. The blackly comic crime caper from director Ben Wheatley (Kill List) is a shoot ‘em up about a small arms deal gone wrong; Larson stars in Free Fire with Armie Hammer, Sharlto Copley, Cillian Murphy and Noah Taylor.
Martin Scorsese is the executive producer.
We spoke to Brie Larson when she was at the Toronto International film festival to promote Free Fire.
Had you encountered director Ben Wheatley in the past?
“I had watched his films. You hear good things from other actors.”
Wheatley has said the game Counter Strike was one source of inspiration for Free Fire.
“It did feel like a long game of Laser Tag. [Laughs]. It’s really entertaining, but there’s a lot more going on under the surface.”
And it was shot in Brighton. You must be travelling the world these days?
“That’s just how it goes. At least it’s usually a couple of months in one spot, which is usually enough to get a handle on a place. I’m grateful for that. And I love the fact I’ve worked in so many places. But we’re always constantly moving around, so that’s why certain moments, like a banquet or a gala or an awards’ ceremony, when you see someone again, it’s an amazing chance! It’s like a reunion because you run into so many people. Recently I was shooting in Montreal and Jen Lawrence was shooting at the same time and it was incredible that we got to spend weekends together. We were like, ‘How could we be so lucky?’ You get so used to being on your own, and exploring a new place and meeting new people all the time, so it’s such a treat when there’s a friend there.”
Can we talk about change in your life? A year ago you were here to promote Room, and now you have an Oscar for that movie. And a huge public profile.
“I think it’s kind of a typical thing — a year later, so much has changed and so much has stayed the same. A lot of things about my public persona have changed, in that more people know what my face looks like, but all of the intimate details — like my private life, the friends I have, how I take my coffee — that’s all the same. It’s an intriguing experience being back here after a year, because I’m the same, but I’ve noticed that my public perception has changed.”
That public perception is going to change again with your Captain Marvel role, right?
"That wasn’t my motivation for doing it. I have very specific reasons for doing film, and they don’t have to do with me, or getting my face plastered on more objects. It’s about the material. And movies live on and can be places I can’t, and I want to be conscious about what that is that I’m presenting to the world. And what those representations of life are, and how they’re being shared. And obviously, Marvel is such an incredible platform to be able to share in storytelling, and I think that what Captain Marvel represents, and what this film is shaping up to be, has a message that’s undeniably important to the world right now.”
How do you feel about this sudden flood of attention on you?
“I’m a pretty private person; so much of my day-to-day is much the same. The beauty of being a 20-year overnight success is that I’ve had a lot of time to have a clear understanding of what I’m interested in and why it fills me up. This job can be really draining on one side, because it’s a lot of giving. You’re giving emotionally when you’re playing a character, you’re giving emotionally when you’re doing interviews, when you’re meeting with fans. It’s an act of service. You have to find a way to balance it up with things that are for yourself, that fill you back up again. I feel like I’m still learning about that balance, because the output is more than what it was. But my overall life is the same. I’m in the same body I was always in.”
Is this film festival in Toronto different for you now?
“This TIFF experience is bizarre. [Laughs] It’s like, a year ago I could walk around anywhere and nobody cared what I was doing. That’s a weird, sort of, out-of-body experience now that I’m the same, but everyone around me has sort of changed. But it’s wonderful! I’m so incredibly grateful for this last year and for what TIFF has brought into my life.”

REMEMBER THIS?
Brie Larson is such a chameleon that you’ve likely seen her in more than a few films without even realizing it.
Here are five Brie Larson movies you forgot she was in:
RIGHT ON TRACK (2003)
In this made for TV Disney movie, baby-faced Larson and Beverley Mitchell starred as Courtney and Erica Enders, real-life drag-racing sisters who challenged a male dominated sport and won.
HOOT (2006)
Larson and Logan Lerman star as dedicated kids trying to protect an endangered species of owl from a massive construction project. Luke Wilson plays a cop; also with Tim Blake Nelson, Cody Linley.
TANNER HALL (2009)
This is cheating, because the movie was never really released into theatres. But still — here’s Larson starring with Rooney Mara, Amy Seders and Tom Everett Scott in a coming of age (and sexual awakening) drama about a girls’ boarding school.
21 JUMP STREET (2012)
How could you forget? In this comedy about two moronic young cops sent to work undercover in a high school, Larson plays Jonah Hill’s adorable love interest.
THE GAMBLER (2014)
Larson is the spunky love interest opposite Mark Wahlberg in the story of a literature professor leading a double life — as a gambling addict. Larson plays one of Wahlberg’s students, but she also works part-time in a casino, so she knows both sides of his story. Drama also stars Jessica Lange and John Goodman.

Question: 3 people arrested in Dakota Access pipeline stadium protest

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Police have arrested a third suspect after opponents to the Dakota Access pipeline hung a banner from the roof of the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis during the Minnesota Vikings’ season finale against the Chicago Bears.
The 27-year-old woman is accused of obstructing legal process. Police haven’t released details of her role in the incident Sunday afternoon.
Two other people accused of sneaking onto a truss in the roof and rappelling down to unfurl the banner have been arrested for trespass. Formal charges are pending.
The game wasn’t interrupted, but eight rows of fans seated below the banner were cleared as a precaution.
The Dakota Access pipeline would carry oil from North Dakota to Illinois. Opponents fear it could harm the environment and American Indian artifacts. The pipeline developer disputes that.
