Question: The Uruguayan government is drafting a law to pay reparations to transgender people

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

Sandra Valin, who is transgender, was born in 1974 and said growing up in Uruguay, her mom wouldn't allow her to leave home alone.
"When I was a kid I was a target because I was flamboyant and feminine, it was horrible, and it didn't end with the dictatorship - the persecution continued into the 1990s," Valin said.
Effectively cut out of Uruguay's formal economy, Valin relied on sex work to survive.
Uruguayan state persecution of transgender people has had a devastating effect on the trans community. That admission is part of a package of bills drafted by the executive branch of the Uruguayan government with the express purpose of improving the lives of trans people.
In 2016, a government census found that 873 Uruguayans identify as transgender. The census also found that 75 percent of the trans population didn’t finish high school and that a quarter are cut off from family relations.
"Trans people don't reach old age," said Tania Ramirez, who works for the Ministry of Social Development in Uruguay. "They are a vulnerable community and the police and the state detained and tortured trans people during the dictatorship of the 1970s and 80s and these tactics continued into the democratic era."
Now the Uruguayan government is looking at a proposal to make amends.
The general assembly is currently reviewing a proposal that will create scholarships, set up affirmative action, and allow people to change their name and sex on official documents without approval from a judge.
It would also create a monthly pension for transgender people born before 1975 – as a way to make reparations for those who were targeted by the government.
Valin would be eligible for those reparations. Things are easier for her now – she lives in a wealthy neighborhood and walks dogs for a living.
"I am the pet sitter, it's so funny because I work from the beach," said Valin. "I love my job."
But she can’t walk dogs forever and she doesn’t have a stable pension to look forward to – she says that government subsidy would really help.

After the vote, parliament speaker Ali Larijani described the measure as just the first step the country could take.\nThe bill now heads to an oversight committee called the Guardian Council, which is expected to approve it. Abbas Araghchi, a deputy foreign minister and senior nuclear negotiator on hand for the vote, said moderate President Hassan Rouhani\'s government supported the bill.\n"The bill has very wisely tried not to violate the [nuclear deal] and also gives no chance to the other party to manipulate it," he said in comments reported by the Islamic Republic News Agency. "This bill is an astute response to the enmity and wickedness of the United States against Iran."\nUnder terms of the bill, some $800 million will be put toward several projects, including the Defense Ministry and its intelligence agencies. Among the agencies receiving money would be the Revolutionary Guards\' Quds force, an expeditionary force run by Gen. Qassem Soleimani, who has been advising forces in Syria and Iraq.\nThe Guard, separate from Iran\'s conventional military forces, answers only to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.\nThe bill also imposes financial sanctions, as well as a visa and travel ban, on U.S. military and security organizations and their commanders who Iran accused of providing financial, intelligence, military, logistic and training support to terrorists in the region, naming the Islamic State militant group and the Syrian branch of al-Qaida. Lawmakers gave government authorities three months to give them names of people to put on a sanctions list, which will be updated every six months.\nIranian officials often accuse the U.S. of being involved with both extremist groups. The U.S. is actively involved in a military campaign against the Islamic State and has struck the al-Qaida affiliate as well.\nThe bill also includes a ban on visas for American officials involved with the Iranian exile group called the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq. Prominent U.S. lawmakers and politicians have met with the group and spoken at its rallies. The Mujahedeen-e-Khalq has paid one of Trump\'s Cabinet members and at least one adviser in the past for giving such speeches.\nThe Islamic Republic News Agency also said the bill referred to the money being used to improve Iran\'s defense against a nuclear attack and develop nuclear propellers. In December, Rouhani ordered officials to draw up plans on building nuclear-powered ships, something that appears to be allowed under the nuclear deal, over an earlier dispute on U.S. sanctions under former President Barack Obama\'s administration.\nIt\'s unclear what effect the additional money for Iran\'s missile program would have.

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) - Chile's Supreme Court says the government must pay a total of $3.2 million to 71 former political prisoners who'd been held by the military dictatorship of 1973 to 1990.
The ruling announced Monday upholds a lower court decision rejecting the government's contention that the statute of limitations had expired.
The plaintiffs are among nearly 37.000 former prisoners of the military regime headed by Gen. Augusto Pinochet certified by a special commission. It also confirmed that more than 3,000 were killed.
Families of those killed receive a small monthly indemnity, as do former prisoners.

Question: Trump weighs in on Roseanne Barr, Bob Iger and Valerie Jarrett: No one apologizes to me

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

A day after the Roseanne reboot was canceled over a racist tweet from its creator, President Trump criticized ABC for failing to address the "HORRIBLE statements" said about him.
"Bob Iger of ABC called Valerie Jarrett to let her know that 'ABC does not tolerate comments like those' made by Roseanne Barr," Trump tweeted Wednesday. "Gee, he never called President Donald J. Trump to apologize for the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me on ABC. Maybe I just didn’t get the call?"
Trump's comments were the first time he weighed in on Roseanne Barr's tweet about former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett: "Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby."
Bob Iger of ABC called Valerie Jarrett to let her know that “ABC does not tolerate comments like those” made by Roseanne Barr. Gee, he never called President Donald J. Trump to apologize for the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me on ABC. Maybe I just didn’t get the call? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 30, 2018
Iger, the CEO of ABC's parent company Disney, has previously been at odds with the president. He quit Trump's business advisory council when the president pulled out of the Paris climate agreement last year. He also called Trump's decision to end the Obama-era Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals program (DACA) "cruel and misguided."
For her part, Jarrett, an Iranian-born African-American, discussed the situation during a town hall on MSNBC Wednesday night, during which she said Iger called her to apologize.
"He said that he had zero tolerance for that sort of racist, bigoted comment and he wanted me to know before he made it public that he was canceling the show," she said.
Jarrett said she wanted this to become a teaching moment — and noted that Trump himself bears some responsibility for Barr's actions.
"The tone does start at the top, and we like to look up to our president and feel as though he reflects the values of our country," she said. "But I also think every individual citizen has a responsibility too, and it's up to all of us to push back. Our government is only going to be as good as we make it be."

Question: Sanders sees a return to 'wide receiver heaven' in Denver

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) Emmanuel Sanders called Denver ”wide receiver heaven” back when he joined the Broncos in 2014. He’s counting on Mike McCoy bringing back nirvana to the Rocky Mountains in 2017.
Running routes called by Adam Gase and catching passes from Peyton Manning, Sanders posted career highs with 101 receptions for 1,404 yards and nine touchdowns in his first season with the Broncos.
Then, Gase left town and Manning got old.
Sanders’ numbers dipped to 76 catches for 1,125 yards and six TDs in 2015, but the Broncos won the Super Bowl that year, so Sanders had no complaints.
That changed last season when both he and Demaryius Thomas got off to slow starts under coach Gary Kubiak and offensive coordinator Rick Dennison. With a combined $92 million in contracts and the high expectations that accompanied their big paychecks, Sanders and Thomas griped about their dearth of catches in September, insisting their frustrations stemmed not from selfishness but out of a sense of duty.
Sanders finished with 1,032 yards and five touchdowns on 79 receptions, but the Broncos missed the playoffs a year after winning it all.
When new coach Vance Joseph brought back McCoy, Gase’s old protege, as the Broncos’ new offensive coordinator, Sanders rejoiced.
”I believe that it’s going to be a pass-happy offense,” Sanders said Monday. ”I had the opportunity to play in this offense in 2014, had 1,400 yards. So, hopefully we can simulate that some type of way and put up points and score and help our defense. So, that’s the goal.”
Sanders said he expects to be used in the slot more this season, just like he was in 2014 when the bulk of his receptions came across the middle of the field.
Sanders, who bought a JUGS machine a few winters ago, said he installed a home gym this offseason to get a jump-start on his offseason training: ”Honestly, this is probably the best I’ve felt in a long time because of just having that gym and that Jugs machine out there and being able to train at home whenever I want,” he said.
Joseph said last week he wanted this QB competition between incumbent Trevor Siemian and former first-rounder Paxton Lynch to ”go down to the wire ” this summer.
Sanders said he’s OK with that.
”Obviously, the earlier that we can get clarity, the better. But do we want to rush that process? No, we don’t want to rush that process. We want to have the right guy,” Sanders said. ”I know those two guys are excited. I’m excited to see it because competition brings out the best in you. So, we’re going to see who it brings out the best in. It’s going to be pretty cool to see.”
Sanders endorsed both of his QBs, the heady Siemian, the 250th pick in 2015, and the athletic Lynch, the 26th selection a year ago.
”I think both of them got everything that you look for,” Sanders said. ”They both have a confidence, they both have a presence, they both can throw the ball, make every single ball: deep ball, short, out, all across the field. So, I think we are sitting here right now in a good position with two guys that are hungry, that want to be starters, that want to be franchise quarterbacks.
”So, with that said, all I can do is go out and handle my business, see how it all pans out. It’s crazy because it seems like every year it’s a question about the quarterback, the quarterback, the quarterback. And every year, it’s the same answer: The best guy is going to show. Obviously, we want a guy that can take us all the way to the Super Bowl.”
Sanders said his personal goals, regardless of who’s on the other end of all those passes, are to top 1,000 yards receiving for a fourth consecutive season, make his third Pro Bowl and be voted an All-Pro again.
”Another pass-happy offense, hopefully I can get up there in the 1,400-1,500 range like I did in 2014,” Sanders said.
”The sky is the limit.”

Question: CNBC Interview with Volkswagen CEO, Herbert Diess

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

Below is the transcript of an exclusive interview with CNBC's Nancy Hungerford and Volkswagen CEO, Herbert Diess, from Auto China 2018 in Beijing.
NH: Thank you for speaking to CNBC today. So many things have changed since we last spoke but let's talk about changes in the home country for Auto China. China recently announced changes to foreign ownership rules – the biggest changes they've announced in decades. Are you actively looking at ways to change the way Volkswagen does business in China as a result?
HD: First of all we think it's a positive move forward – not to open up but to make foreign investment easier. Possible that should generate additional growth in investment in this country. From our side we are really settled up set up very nicely here in China. We have very competent joint venture partners with FAW in the north, (inaudible) in the south so we have a trustful relation over many product life cycles over many years and I think we are so strong because we have strong joint venture partners and China is very specific so I think alone we wouldn't be as strong as we are. So for the moment we don't have any plans to change that structure but I think it's a positive move for the country to open up more.
NH: If you're not going to go it alone in the near term, what about buying a stake from one of your partners to get majority ownership? Is that appealing?
HD: You know car industry is not only 50/50 joint ventures. All the components are mostly in one ownership – no there's very little joint venturing around this. We also we own for instance our gearbox plants and some components plants. When it comes to the new structures like battery cells batteries said we change once again. So and we are looking for investments in some key areas of technology.
NH: With improved profitability though if that was an option on the table to increase your stake and majority ownership..
HD: We are really well settled here. We have high market share. We are busy now adopting to the new technologies – a lot of technology and technological development happening here in China. China's pioneering electric cars, also is taking the lead now in the autonomous driving. This is very specific business approach in China. We need to partner with low tech enterprises. There's a lot to do but that might be one or the other investment opportunity as well. For instance just recently we started our mobility business here, a service business here, which is investment. We invested in a few startups here so investment is always an option.
NH: You mentioned the big election push here which of course Volkswagen is taking part in, stepping up investment in electrification globally – when you look at the Chinese approach it is shifting from incentives and subsidies to more aggressive approach if you will when it comes to quotas and standards. Is Volkswagen prepared to meet those new rules which kick in in 2019?
HD: Yes we are prepared, definitely. Now we are and we are preparing ourselves. You know we have to accept that a society is choosing a way, a route forward and I think for China electric cars make a lot of sense. The density of population is huge, air quality is still to improve a lot. So electric cars here in China make a lot of sense. There's a huge commitment towards electric cars and we are taking part of this and we think it could be also beneficial for Volkswagen because it allows us a big volume based economies of scale which we then can use in other countries.
NH: Does it make the domestic brands more competitive though, and increase the competitive threat facing VW right here?
HD: Yea, you know we have to face competition all over the world and we have to accept that also Chinese brands become more competitive like they shouldn't, and they're learning fast, really they are really learning fast. We see that also from our joint venture partners they are building now very competent cars. We have to be one step ahead.
NH: Another proposal Beijing has put out there is lowering import tariffs on vehicles – how significant of a move would that be for your profitability in the country?
HD: It depends on the brand. Volkswagen is deeply localized. I would say our cars, the value chain of cars is probably 95, 98 percent localize, so we're not really depending on import tariffs. Our premium brands, yes, they have imports and also I think the reduction of import taxes is a positive move, to move to to open up the market so we congratulate the government.
NH: And these opening moves, if you will, are really seen as somewhat of an olive branch to the United States. Was President Trump right to push China to do more to level the playing field for the Auto sector?
HD: I think always you know there are still, even if we talk about reduction of import tariffs, a lot of of constraints in China when it comes to the technology offering. You have to comply with very specific rules and regulations. So and it's not always fair no compared to other countries, so I think the discussion about that, to make the world a more liberal open world is always positive.
NH: So could VW emerge a winner in the trade spat between the US and China?
HD: I wouldn't say that and we don't want to become a winner because of that but we have, first we are strong in China, we are aiming to remain strong in China. China is very important for us. We want to get stronger in the United States. There's still a lot of improvement but I think generally the way forward should be less import tariffs, a more liberal world market that would help that would help probably every nation.
NH: You talk about the tech and R&D taking place here, is intellectual property transferred still a concern for you doing business in China today?
HD: Not as it was I would say some 10 years ago and that's not, that's also not so much to protect anymore because China really has grown up. Meanwhile a lot of research going on in China and there are many aspects where China is on par with the rest of the world, or let's say getting to that level very fast. So far we were able to protect our intellectual property, we have fees for our licenses which we are playing here, we have a long tradition to do so. There's no complaints from our side.
NH: All this electrification is expensive. Recently when you become CEO you announced broad restructuring of the group and many analysts and investors have been waiting for quite some time. Can you give us a better idea of these synergies you hope to achieve under the new groups? When will that materialize with a financial benefit?
HD: You know it's a long-term approach. We look for those synergies and the new organization because this world is changing so fast and we have to become faster in our decision making. Volkswagen is a big company worldwide now with 12 brands to coordinate those to take all the decisions on what level, takes time. And that is why I decided to split up in three groups on the passenger car side, dedicating their efforts more or less to a specific customer group which we call volume, premium and super premium where we have really specific customer demands, and I would say super premium customers like for Bentley or Bugatti, they would look for another retail experience than we have on the (inaudible) side. So that means that we are we said new grouping of the brands we think we have a chance to get faster and still keeping the synergies.
NH: Change takes time, as you say. The share price went up when you were announced as CEO. One reason is many consider you the cost killer if you will. So, speaking of time, how long will it take for you to substantially bring down those costs?
HD: To be open and honest I think this time in the industry it's not about cost. It's really about speed and innovation because we are we are really getting new competitors from everywhere, from the tech companies, from new emerging nations like China. So it's really now about building up new capabilities and to be able to build up those new capabilities, yes, you need profits, you need income, so you have to work on both sides. But this I would say this decade in automotive alone will not be about to be about cost (inaudible).
NH: Another way to free up money for more investment would be to sell off some units. Is that something you're considering now that you're at the helm? Looking at some of the non-core brands and spinning them off?
HD: I wouldn't call it non-core brands but we have non-core assets. No we have to reconsider whether our value chain, a lot of investment is going into our value chain is still appropriately spent, no, because we have to invest in the new technologies – in software and batteries – and also we have to consider we have some non-core assets where we either we have we have to develop a business plan forward, for gross, for more value, or we have to consider to also spin off something.
NH: Is the sale of Ducati back on the table?
HD: Ducati is not back on the table as a sale. My background I have to say as a motorcyclist I was in charge of a motorcycle brand worldwide for a few years, so I think two wheelers have a future, and we have to decide now what could be the way forward. Would it be a multi-brand strategy, would it be more electrification. I think two wheelers will play a role in individual mobility, individual mobility will be our driving theme also for the next 10 years or so. So what we have to do now is we're going to Ducati forward strategy.
NH: And there's no secret the the works council was opposed to the Ducati sale when it was taken up by your successor. What did you do to really bring Bern Ostollow to the table and kind of bury the hatchet if you will, because it hasn't always been easy…
HD: No it hasn't always been easy, but I have to say that Bern Ostollow is a, he has for many years in the company and he always was as head of (inaudible) council he knows the company from inside out but he's also very strategic thinker. He's also very strategic thinker, and this is where I think we have, we are quite close in our estimation how the future looks, what challenges are we facing. And that allowed us finally also to from both sides to agree to a plan which is we will reduce our workforce considerably in Germany but also allow us to invest in future technology. And I think at the end the (inaudible) concern is is how many work places know how many of the places we have saved and are future proof. And there is I think we found an alignment.
NH: Just finally sir. Speaking of the future – many saw your appointment as CEO as a way to really put the diesel crisis behind the company yet just a few days ago still news surrounding Porsche and Audi. When are you confident that you will be able to say, it's over, there are no more diesel skeletons?
HD: Ah, that will be, that will be very nice but we have to we have to if you look reasonably at this, we have so many still problems around the world which needs to be need to be sorted. We have lost so much trust in some of our customers though that will require a few more years that we really can say we have left diesel behind. We will we have to dedicate resources and time also for the foreseeable time. The company still requires a lot of change, cultural change. I think we have we have monitored Larry Thompson which is advising us. I think it's helpful for us. It's really it's a good exercise and he will help us to become a more futureproof company, much more compliant than we have been. So it's a lot to be done, still many months to to go through until we can say bye bye diesel.
NH: Thank you very much for your time today sir.

Question: ’60s Scoop deal to compensate victims, fund reconciliation foundation

Survivors of a period in the 1960s that saw Indigenous children taken from their homes and placed with non-Indigenous families hope an agreement in principle with the federal government will put a stop to Aboriginal children being stolen from their language, culture and identity.
Beaverhouse First Nation Chief Marcia Brown Martel, who was herself placed in the foster system as a child only to suffer emotional, physical and sexual abuse, said she has “great hope” now that a deal has been reached including $750 million in compensation for victims.
In February, the Ontario Superior Court found the government liable for the harm caused by the ’60s Scoop. Brown Martel was the representative plaintiff.
“I have great hope that because we’ve reached this plateau that this again will never, ever happen in Canada again,” Brown Martel said Friday as she stood beside Crown-Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett on Parliament Hill for the announcement on the settlement deal.
At the same time, she warned, Indigenous children are still subject to the “millennium scoop.”
“Children are still within the child welfare system,” she said
“They call it ‘in care’ but it adds a risk factor for them. Therefore, one must stop using that term … they’re not in care. They’re away from their communities … our children need to come home.”
Bennett fought back tears Friday as she announced details of the deal with Brown Martel and other survivors — a package that also includes up to $50 million for a foundation for healing and reconciliation.
The federal government has also earmarked $75 million for legal fees. The compensation money will go to individuals classified as status Indians and Inuit.
The ’60s Scoop a dark and painful chapter in Canada’s history, Bennett said.
“Their stories are heartbreaking,” Bennett said. “They talked of their identity being stolen. They talked about not really feeling that you belong anywhere because people have been moved so often or that they didn’t really have a home.”
Too many Indigenous children are still being taken from their families, she added, insisting Ottawa must change the current design of the system to ensure funding goes toward children, family and communities rather than lawyers, agencies and non-Indigenous foster families.
“We want that overhaul to happen so that we a system of the rights and well-being of Indigenous children and youth to be raised in their language and culture and not have this harm done that was done to these courageous people,” she said.
The agreement is a ”first step” in resolving ’60s Scoop litigation, Bennett added, noting the federal government is committed to working with other Indigenous Peoples affected.
The provinces and territories are also working on resolving remaining litigation, she said, adding individual compensation will be determined among legal counsel.
The agreement in principle announced by the government is less than the $1.3 billion Brown Martel sought for victims of the Ontario Scoop in which at-risk on-reserve Indigenous children were placed in non-Aboriginal homes from 1965 to 1984 under terms of a federal-provincial agreement.
In a class action started in 2009, Brown Martel maintained the government had been negligent in protecting her and about 16,000 other on-reserve children from the lasting harm suffered from being alienated from their heritage.
Jeffery Wilson, one of her lawyers, said previously the class action was the first anywhere to recognize the importance of a person’s cultural heritage and the individual harm caused when it is lost.

Nishnawbe Aski Nation is calling a Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ruling “a huge win for children.”
The CHRT released their 101-page decision Thursday. In January 2016, the tribunal ruled that Canada discriminated against 163,000 Indigenous children by not providing enough funding for child and family services on reserve.
Its most recent finding, the result of a compliance hearing in March 2017, stated the government will be held accountable for that discrimination, and also for its attempts to justify its inaction.
This marks the fourth time the tribunal said Canada was not fully complying with the 2016 order.
NAN Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler said the tribunal is breaking new ground.
“The good news is that Canada is responding to this challenge and is working in collaboration ... to develop solutions,” said Fiddler.
“Canada's attempted justification for its inaction in the wake o a 2016 finding of discrimination by the Human Rights Tribunal has been flatly rejected as the Panel recognized that Canada's 'business as usual' approach was a conscious choice to perpetuate discrimination.”
Fiddler added, “This is a huge win for our children.”
Canada is now required to report according to a schedule on their ongoing compliance, as well as fund the actual costs agencies face providing full and equitable services.
The tribunal panel stated it was “incorrect for Canada to say it did everything it could and everything that was asked of it.”
“This case is vital because it deals with mass removal of children,” said the tribunal. “There is urgency to act and prioritize the elimination of the removal of children from their families and communities.”
Indigenous children represent seven per cent of all kids under the age of 15, but make up more than half of all kids in foster care. In some provinces, that figure is closer to 90%, including Metis and Inuit children.
Deputy Grand Chief Anna Betty Achneepineskum holds the social service portfolio for NAN.
“The importance of this ruling it its recognition that children come first and that bureaucratic inaction, no matter how well-intentioned, can perpetuate discrimination,” said Achneepineskum.
“The Tribunal has effectively created a cost of inaction and has ordered Canada to compensate parties involved dating back to its ruling in 2016.”
Indigenous Services Minister Jane Philpott said Thursday child welfare agencies on reserves will immediately start getting funding to cover the actual cost of program.
NDP Indigenous Critic and Timmins-James Bay MP Charlie Angus said he's concerned there isn't a dollar figure attached to the promise. Philpott said they are still sorting out what this will cost and that the money will be in the 2018 federal budget.
Angus said it's worrying that government doesn't know what it has to spend. He said a recent report on the funding shortfall in Manitoba alone was $80 million a year, which would mean the shortfall nationally is likely at least $200 million.

Question: Taylor Swift Wins Sexual Assault Lawsuit Against Former Radio Host

A Denver jury found fully in pop singer Taylor Swift's favor Monday, delivering a unanimous verdict in a trial over whether she was groped by a former radio host during a Denver meet-and-greet. Wanting the trial to serve as an "example to other women," the star had sought a single dollar in damages, which she was granted.
In his closing statements, Swift's lawyer Douglas Baldridge referenced the example that Swift hoped her suit could be for others in similar situations "by returning a verdict on Ms. Swift's counterclaim for a single dollar — a single symbolic dollar, the value of which is immeasurable to all women in this situation."
In his own closing arguments, David Mueller attorney Gabriel McFarland wondered why his client would introduce himself by name and then almost immediately after reach under the skirt of "one of the planet's, one of the country's, biggest superstars?"
The case was largely fought on the credibility of Swift and Mueller.
Late this past Friday, a federal judge threw out part of the case brought against Swift by Mueller, saying he had not proven Swift had set out to get him fired.
Swift countersued Mueller for sexual assault after his own suit was filed in 2015, leading to Denver trial which began jury selection last Monday. Swift initially had sought to keep the incident quiet.
By Friday, most of the principals in the case had been heard from — most notably Ms. Swift herself, who had several sharp rejoinders to questions from Mueller's attorney. Asked about Mueller's firing, Swift responded: "I am not going to allow your client to make me feel like it is anyway my fault, because it isn't."

Question: How Tom Brady makes Patriots dynasty economically possible

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

At his state-of-the-league news conference Wednesday in Minnesota, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell praised the Eagles for their impressive turnaround this season. In an effort to highlight the parity the league so often boasts about, Goodell noted Philadelphia’s jump from last in the NFC East in 2016 to conference champions in 2017.
“Anything is possible,” the commissioner said, “and the Eagles are proof of that.”
The NFL’s brand is one thing, though. And reality is entirely different.
As much as the NFL toots its horn about an even playing field and competitiveness across the league, the truth is one team has dominated the league since the turn of the century in a way no franchise ever has. That team, the Patriots, happens to be playing the Eagles Sunday in Minneapolis for a chance to win its sixth Super Bowl since 2001.
Shockingly, Goodell didn’t spend much time praising New England in his annual meeting with reporters.
Whether it is fact that his wife, Gisele Bundchen, is worth $350 million or if it is selfless act, or speculatively he has arrangement with Patriots, Tom Brady’s acceptance of not nearly being highest paid QB in NFL affords Patriots luxury in paying his teammates to keep dynastic standard. (Patrick Semansky/AP)
In the 18 seasons since the Patriots selected Tom Brady with the 199th overall pick of the 2000 draft, they’ve missed the conference championship just five times, including 2008, when Brady tore his ACL in the season opener.
This kind of sustained success is not supposed to happen in the NFL. There are too many variables. Injuries can derail seasons in the blink of an eye. The windows for peak performance among players are, on average, small and unpredictable. And the salary cap forces teams to make tough decisions on aging veterans on a yearly basis.
It has long been said that the NFL stands for Not For Long. Just not in New England.
Here again are the Patriots, with their 40-year-old starting quarterback, defying Father Time, defying the norms, giving new meaning to what an NFL dynasty can be.
And the secret to it all has been right under our noses this whole time.
Brady has been playing at a discount for nearly a decade, providing the Patriots with the salary-cap freedom to build a competitive roster around their Hall of Fame quarterback year after year.
If you doubt the importance of Brady’s contracts, look no further than the Baltimore Ravens.
* * *
Late on the night of Feb. 3, 2013, after the stadium lights had gone out unexpectedly for 22 minutes and the Harbaugh brothers had battled on opposing Super Bowl sidelines, Joe Flacco, the Ravens’ 28-year-old starting quarterback, stood on the field at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans with an ear-to-ear smile on his face.
Baltimore had just claimed its second Lombardi Trophy.

Cameramen and teammates rushed to Flacco, who would later be named MVP. Shiny silver streamers and purple and gold confetti fell from the rafters. Defensive lineman Arthur Jones grabbed Flacco by the waist and hoisted his quarterback into the air. Flacco raised his fist awkwardly. He let out a subdued yell. In Ray Lewis’ final NFL game, the Ravens emerged victorious. Flacco had thrown for 287 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. It was, given the stage and circumstances, the greatest performance of his young career.
One month and one day later, Flacco signed a gargantuan six-year, $120.6 million contract that made him the highest-paid player in the NFL in terms of average annual value, topping Drew Brees, who had signed a five-year, $100 million deal with the Saints less than a year prior.
To that point, Flacco had compiled a pedestrian 86.3 passer rating in his five seasons. He’d surpassed 90 in just one of those five campaigns. Debate raged over whether Flacco was truly an “elite” quarterback, and those arguments only intensified when he inked his career-defining contract. But the Ravens had seen Flacco lead them to a title. The legend of Playoff Joe was cemented in NFL lore, and the organization bet on his postseason performance, expecting that to become the norm.
In the five years since, though, the Ravens have been mired in NFL mediocrity. With Flacco as their starter and highest earner, they’ve gone 40-40 and made the playoffs just once, in 2014, when they lost to the Patriots in the divisional round. Hamstrung by Flacco’s massive cap hits, the Ravens have rarely been able to shell out significant dough for marquee free agents. In the meantime, they’ve drafted poorly, preventing them from re-tooling their roster with low-budget, high-talent players.
The Ravens are walking aimlessly through salary cap purgatory. They are now a cautionary tale for the team that pays pending free agent Kirk Cousins what may end up being the most lucrative contract in NFL history, a potentially crippling deal if Cousins, 30, follows Flacco’s lead and doesn’t live up to his cap figures as he ages.
Flacco’s 2013 deal was backloaded with so much salary, the Ravens were forced to renegotiate the contract in May 2016 to avoid disaster. They signed him to a three-year, $66.4 million extension that transferred a good chunk of his immediate salary into a signing bonus that could then be prorated over ensuing years. Eventually, though, the Ravens will be forced to incur these hits. In 2020, for instance, Flacco’s cap hit is slated to reach $28.25 million. He will be 35 years old.
“That’s a crushing contract,” said Jason Fitzgerald, an NFL salary cap and contract expert who runs the website OverTheCap.com, which provided all the salary figures for this story. “It’s just absolutely debilitating.”
Flacco is the extreme example of the modern NFL quarterback market. This past season, as he battled through a back injury, Flacco dealt the Ravens a cap hit of $22.5 million, or 14.5% of their cap space, the highest percentage in the league.
(New York Daily News)
Meanwhile, Flacco finished 25th in the NFL in passer rating, making his contract an utter calamity. In terms of value for his contract, Flacco was arguably worst among qualified quarterbacks. His only competition was Browns rookie DeShone Kizer, who took up less than 1% of Cleveland’s salary cap but finished at the bottom of the league with a 60.5 passer rating.
(New York Daily News)
On the other end of the spectrum is Brady, who on Sunday has a chance to become the first NFL player to win six Lombardi Trophies.
He also may be the greatest bargain in sports history.
Since the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement went into effect in August 2011, Brady has never ranked higher than fifth among quarterbacks in terms of cap hit. Here’s a look at where he’s ranked in each season:
2011: 8th
2012: 17th
2013: 5th
2014: 12th
2015: 14th
2016: 18th
2017: 20th
Brady is the unanimous best player at the most important position in professional sports. Yet he’s played on below-market-value contracts for the past seven seasons, which has afforded the Patriots salary cap relief and spending opportunities that other franchises only dream of.
This isn’t the only reason the Pats, Brady and Belichick are on the brink of cementing themselves as perhaps the greatest dynasty in NFL history. They draft better than anybody. They coach better than anybody. They are precise, exact and unflinching in the most important moments of games. But the impact of Brady’s contracts on the Patriots’ sustained success over the past two decades cannot be overlooked.
“It’s huge,” said former Washington and Texans general manager Charley Casserly. “That gives you a chance to get other players and compete.”
The Ravens are the alternative.
“If that was the Brady of now in (Flacco’s) spot, I can guarantee you he would not have gotten a top-of-the-market contract with all of the crazy cap maneuverings. He just wouldn’t have done something like that,” Fitzgerald said. “He would have known that would have just killed his (championship) window.”
* * *
Tom Brady’s NFL story has been recited and regurgitated over and over for the past 18 years: Sixth-round pick turned Drew Bledsoe injury replacement turned Super Bowl champion turned MVP turned greatest of all time.
His contract story, though, is more mysterious, full of intricacies and details that, when dissected, provides a window into the Patriots’ recipe.
As a late-round pick, Brady played on a minuscule rookie contract that paid him less than $600,000 over his first three NFL seasons, which included the Patriots’ 2001 Super Bowl win over the Rams, their first in franchise history.
Prior to the 2002 season, on Aug. 28, about six months after Brady’s first title, he signed a four-year extension worth $28 million, including a $10 million signing bonus that factored into his ’02 cap hit. The contract went into effect for the 2003, and Brady played on that for two seasons, winning back-to-back championships and claiming his second Super Bowl MVP trophy.
Brady earned $18.5 million on that deal before signing another extension in May 2005, this one for six years. That extension supplanted the final two years of the extension he signed in 2002 and kept Brady under contract with the Patriots through 2010.
From 2005 to 2009, Brady was compensated at market value. Here’s a look at where he ranked among quarterbacks in those years in terms of cap hit:
2005: 4th
2006: 1st
2007: 8th
2008: 2nd
2009: 3rd
The Patriots made the playoffs in four of those five seasons. The only year they missed the postseason was in 2008, when Brady tore his ACL. It was one of just two times in Brady’s 18 seasons the Pats missed the playoffs.
In 2007, Brady won his first of two league MVPs. He set the record for touchdowns in a season (later broken by Peyton Manning) with 50. The Patriots became the first team to go 16-0 in a regular season and lost to the Giants in Super Bowl XLII.
In 2009, the Patriots’ season ended with a blowout loss to the Ravens in the wild-card round. Two months after that, Brady married his wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, whose estimated worth is now reportedly more than $350 million.
Three days before the Patriots opened their 2010 season with a home contest against the Bengals, Brady agreed to a four-year, $72 million extension that made him the highest-paid player in the NFL in terms of average annual value. Part of the signing bonus from that extension counted against the cap in 2010, which is why Brady’s cap hit that season topped $17 million, the highest of his career thus far. However, the NFL was not capped in 2010 because of CBA negotiations, so the figure is moot. Brady won his second MVP that year.
Brady played on the 2010 extension in 2011 and 2012 and was slated to make $30 million in salary over the final two years, in 2013 and 2014, according to Sports Illustrated. His cap hits in those seasons would have been among the top in the league.
But in February 2013, weeks after a conference-championship loss to the eventual-champion Ravens, Brady restructured his contract while simultaneously signing a three-year extension. Flacco inked his landmark deal a few weeks later.
The $30 million Brady was supposed to make in salary was transferred to a $30 million signing bonus that was then prorated over ensuing seasons. Brady’s salaries for 2013 and 2014 then became $1 and $2 million, respectively, a total of an extra $3 million for Brady as compared to the previous contract.
For the Patriots, it was needed salary-cap relief.
“That was the one that really changed a whole bunch of stuff for them and helped them out a lot,” Fitzgerald said.
The three-year extension Brady signed in 2013 slotted his base salaries for 2015 ($7 million), 2016 ($8 million) and 2017 ($9 million) and had an average annual value of just over $11 million.
The low figures left many in NFL circles scratching their heads.
The best player in the game was willingly taking significantly less money than he could have.
“It was a ridiculous number,” Fitzgerald said.
Two years later in January 2015, after the Patriots defeated the Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX, Brady restructured his contract again to free up more space for the Patriots. According to ESPN, by changing a guarantee in Brady’s contract from a “skill” guarantee to an “injury” guarantee, the Patriots garnered $24 million more in cash to spend.
The following season, the Patriots fell short of a second consecutive Lombardi Trophy, losing to the Broncos in the AFC Championship Game. In February of 2016, Brady and the Patriots renegotiated once again.
In a similar deal to the 2013 one, Brady transferred his salaries for 2016 and 2017 into a signing bonus that was then prorated. The average annual value for the extension was $20.5 million. His cap hits for the next four seasons became:
2016: $13.8 million
2017: $14 million
2018: $22 million
2019: $22 million
This decade, as Brady has continued to give the Patriots salary cap relief, quarterbacks around the league signed massive contracts. Matt Stafford, Cam Newton, Eli Manning, Carson Palmer, Matt Ryan, Aaron Rodgers, Andrew Luck, Ryan Tannehill, Phillip Rivers, Ben Roethlisberger, Sam Bradford and, of course, Flacco all had cap hits of $18 million or more in 2017.
“The NFL fell into this concept probably around 2010, 2011, that if you have a quarterback that deserves to start, they deserve to get paid top-of-the-market money. And you can’t do that when there’s only a couple of elite quarterbacks in the NFL — Brady, Rodgers, Brees, those guys,” Fitzgerald said. “You have to be able to have money to spend at other positions to improve your team, and (those teams) are not doing it.
“If Ryan Tannehill makes $18 million and Tom Brady makes 20 (in average annual value), $2 million is not going to make up the difference in talent that you have at the quarterback position. But if a player like that makes $10 million while Brady makes 20 to 25 or something, you can sign a bunch of defensive players, maybe put together a better team. So I think that’s just had an enormous impact.”
The question, then, is this: If Brady is far and away the top and most consistent performer in the NFL, why would he be so willing to take less money year after year?
The answer could be that Brady is the most selfless player in NFL history and cares more about winning than any amount of money. But something doesn’t add up there. We’re talking about a player who built a career on taking slights — most notably his draft position — and turning them into fuel. His motivation has always been to prove doubters wrong over and over again. Would a player that driven to be the best really be satisfied with making less money than half the quarterbacks in the league?
Another possible explanation: Brady married one of the wealthiest and most successful women on the the planet, and thus does not have the same economic burden as other players. It could also be a combination of this and his ostensible altruism.
Gisele Bundchen (Evan Agostini/Evan Agostini/Invision/AP)
More speculatively, in light of New England’s penchant for circumventing the rules (i.e. SpyGate), could Brady have some understanding with Patriots owner Robert Kraft that would compensate him after he retires? There is no evidence of this, and such an understanding would seemingly violate the collective bargaining agreement. But Kraft and the Patriots have not been afraid of blurring the lines in the past when it comes to compensating Brady.
Brady and longtime trainer Alex Guerrero own a joint venture in the TB12 Sports Therapy Center, located at Patriot Place, the sprawling shopping center surrounding Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.
Over the course of Brady’s career, many Patriots received treatment from Guerrero at the TB12 Therapy Center, according to a recent ESPN report, which also revealed Guerrero once had access to Patriots medical records before a falling out with Belichick this season led to a decreased role.
Still, during the years where Patriots players were consistently visiting Guerrero, the team was paying Guerrero $200 per hour for his treatment, according to a 2015 Boston Globe report. Brady, as Guerrero’s business partner, was seeing some of those profits.
In a statement to the Globe, the NFL said, “We are aware of the arrangement and have not determined that there is any violation of the CBA.”
* * *
Fitzgerald says the Patriots use a “no-stone-unturned philosophy” when it comes to team-building. In other words, Belichick, who is effectively the team’s general manager and has control over football operations, uses every possible avenue to acquire players — free agency, trades, waiver claims, etc.
“That’s another thing that separates them,” Fitzgerald said.
This flexibility and aggressiveness, though, would not be possible without Brady’s team-friendly contracts.
An analysis of the Patriots’ roster construction from 2010 to the present revealed they infrequently sought or paid for high-profile free agents. Instead, they used the extra cap space to re-sign players they drafted. Here are some examples:
l In 2010, the Patriots re-signed Vince Wilfork to a five-year contract that made him the highest-paid nose tackle in the NFL.
l In 2011, after a rather public contract dispute, the Patriots re-signed Logan Mankins to a six-year deal that made him the highest-paid guard in the NFL. They also signed linebacker Jerod Mayo to a five-year extension in December of that year.
- In 2012, they signed tight end Rob Gronkowski to a six-year extension.
- In 2013, they re-signed right tackle Sebastian Vollmer to a four-year deal and re-signed defensive end Rob Ninkovich to a three-year extension.
- In 2014, they re-signed Julian Edelman to a four-year deal.
- In 2015, they re-signed Devin McCourty to a five-year, $47.5 million deal and also made Stephen Gostkowski the highest-paid kicker in the league with a four-year, $17.2 million deal.
- In 2016, they signed tackle Marcus Cannon to a five-year, $32.5 million extension.
- In 2017, they re-signed Dont’a Hightower to a four-year, $43.5 million deal.
For the most part, the Patriots retain their players and they rarely move on from productive contributors. The two most glaring exceptions are linebackers Chandler Jones and Jamie Collins, but in both those cases, the Patriots traded them before they hit free agency for draft picks.
Casserly said retaining players is key to sustained success.
“It’s the continuity, continuity of the player,” Casserly said. “The player knows you, you know the player. He knows the system. He’s going to keep growing in the system. And in free agency, there’s always an unknown because you don’t know how the guy is going to react to money, which (factors in) a little bit with your own guys, but you have a feeling on your own guys better.
“In New England, especially on defense, the system is complicated, and some players can come in there and play well and some players can’t. But you know the player. You know the positive of him and the negatives of him as a football player on the field, but more importantly, you know what he is off the field. And you can scout him forever, and you still are guessing. But at least you’re better off guessing with one that you’ve had every day.”
Very occasionally, the Patriots have shelled out cash for free agents. Most notably, they signed Darrelle Revis to a contract before the 2014 season that effectively was a one-year deal worth $12 million. They went on to win the Super Bowl. Then this past offseason, Belichick made perhaps his biggest ever free-agency splash when he signed cornerback Stephon Gilmore to a five-year, $65 million contract, which Fitzgerald called an “outlier for what they normally do.”
Gilmore made one of the most important plays of the Patriots’ AFC Championship Game win over the Jaguars when he knocked away a Blake Bortles pass on a decisive fourth down in the final quarter.
Brady’s contracts, in essence, made all of this possible.
“If you’re willing to sign for $20 million and you’re the best player in the NFL, that’s a major competitive advantage right there because you’re worth $10 million more than all those other players, at least,” Fitzgerald said. “So instead of those teams having the extra $10 million to go out and spend to try and improve in other areas, they’re in the same price structure as New England. So I think that’s been a big help for them.”
Fitzgerald also pointed to another benefit of Brady’s contracts that “a lot of people don’t necessarily realize.”
“The quarterback kind of sets the tone for the way the contracts are going to go on a team,” Fitzgerald said. “The quarterback is almost always going to be the highest-paid player unless there is a situation where you have kind of like a journeyman guy, like the Jets with Josh McCown this year.
“When you see a quarterback like Brady top off at whatever he’s at right now, 20.5, and you know that he could have gotten so much more, it kind of sets a precedent that when you go and you negotiate with these other players, they don’t really have a big leg to necessarily stand on to say, ‘Well, I deserve this much more.’ ... (The Patriots) say, ‘Hey look, this is what we do. Look at where the quarterback is. If you want to play here, you’re going to play ball when it comes to your contract.’ And that’s probably helped them with certain players through the years, to get them locked in on terms, I think, that are reasonable.”
Fitzgerald believes Revis is a good example of this.
“That was not a great contract for the way he typically looks for money,” he said. “I think part of that is that factor of... more or less just being able to give that take-it-or-leave-it ultimatum, and I think they rely on Brady as the proof.”
* * *
Fitzgerald doesn’t find it as hard to wrap his mind around Brady’s friendly contracts.
“We look at it and say, ‘Well, this is a selfless act on his part,’” he said. “He’s making a phenomenal amount of money. Is it better to make the 20.5, play with New England, have a chance to win every year, be in the Super Bowl every year, or to get a couple million more a season and then end up with the Cleveland Browns? I think it’s pretty easy to see that it’s not that bad sticking in New England.”
No, it’s not that bad.

Brady will go down as the greatest quarterback in NFL history. With a victory Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium, he will be in the conversation for greatest athlete of all time.
For a guy as competitive as Brady, it’s understandable that he would do anything to win.
Anything. Even losing out on tens of millions of dollars.
“It’s one of the most impressive things in the history of the National Football League,” Casserly said of the Patriots’ dynasty. “Absolutely. You’d have to sit there and say, ‘Okay, who’s done it better in the history of the league?’ And you’re going to have to think long and hard about that.”

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

AKRON, Ohio — Tre'Shaun Fletcher had 23 points, nine rebounds and five assists, Jaelan Sanford added 18, seven, and five, and Toledo beat Akron 55-36 on Saturday.
Fletcher and Sanford each hit three 3-pointers for Toledo (16-7, 8-2 Mid-American Conference), which had its season-high seven-game winning streak snapped on Tuesday against Ball State. Fletcher is the lone player in the MAC's top 10 for points, rebounds and assists at 18.6 points (second), 8.5 rebounds (third) and 4.2 assists (fourth).
The Rockets, who have won seven of their last eight away from Savage Arena, lead the MAC's West Division and Buffalo sits atop the East.
Toledo opened the second half on a 20-9 run — with eight points by Sanford — for a 19-point advantage.

Question: Probiotics help poplar trees clean up toxins in Superfund sites

Trees growing on the Silicon Valley test site at the start of their third season. The second and fourth trees (from left) have been given microbes and are growing faster than the poplars with no microbes (first and third trees, from left). Credit: Michael Blaylock/Edenspace Systems Corporation Trees have the ability to capture and remove pollutants from the soil and degrade them through natural processes in the plant. It's a feat of nature companies have used to help clean up polluted sites, though only in small-scale projects. Now, a probiotic bacteria for trees can boost the speed and effectiveness of this natural cycle, providing a microbial partner to help protect trees from the toxic effects of the pollutants and break down the toxins plants bring in from contaminated groundwater.
Researchers from the University of Washington and several small companies have conducted the first large-scale experiment on a Superfund site using poplar trees fortified with a probiotic—or natural microbe—to clean up groundwater contaminated with trichloroethylene (TCE), a common pollutant found in industrial areas that is harmful to humans when ingested through water or inhaled from the air. Their results were published in final version Aug. 11 in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.
The successful field trial could be a game changer to quickly and effectively clean up Superfund sites around the country and polluted sites abroad that have high levels of TCE, the authors say.
"These results open the door," said corresponding author Sharon Doty, a UW professor in the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences. "We have known about this process for a long time from our laboratory research, but it hasn't been used in practice because there were no field results. Now, engineering companies can start using this in real life."
Contaminated sites containing TCE and other pollutants can be expensive to clean up when using engineering methods such as excavating or pumping toxins from underground. As a result, many sites sit untreated. This new method allows contaminated sites to be dealt with more effectively, often at lower costs, promoting human health.
Doty's lab worked to find the best microbe strain that could effectively break down TCE and boost tree growth. Jun Won Kang, a former UW graduate student, had obtained poplar wood from a site in the Midwest where trees were already growing in TCE-contaminated soil. After grinding down small samples of the trees and isolating over a hundred different microbes, each strain was then placed in a flask containing high levels of TCE.
The microbe that ultimately was selected eliminated nearly all of the TCE in its flask. The researchers had a clear winner."The poplar at the older site in the Midwest selected for the best microbes to help it do its job," Doty explained. "We took advantage of that natural selection process. We just had to find the best ones that the plant already chose."

The pollutant TCE has been used widely as a degreaser and a solvent in industrial manufacturing sites across the country. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency cites TCE as one of the most common pollutants in soil or water, and it is present in more than 1,000 sites the agency lists as priorities for cleanup. TCE is a known carcinogen to humans, affecting the liver and even transferring the toxin to nursing babies through mothers' breastmilk.
Given the prevalence and toxicity of TCE, the researchers used the chemical to test the ability of poplar trees infused with microbes to clean up groundwater in the Middlefield-Ellis-Whisman Superfund research area in California's Silicon Valley after it had subsequently flowed into the NASA Research Park at NASA's Ames Research Center. At NASA Ames, in coordination with NASA Ames' Environmental Division, the researchers planted rows of young poplar trees—some inoculated with the specific microbe, and others without—on a field above a known groundwater plume contaminated with TCE.
After only a year, the trees given the microbe were bigger and healthier than the poplars with no special treatment. After three years, the inoculated trees were still more robust, and a sample of tree trunks revealed greatly reduced levels of TCE inside the trees.
When trees take up and degrade chemicals, called phytoremediation, it often comes at the expense of their own health. This manifests as stunted growth, yellow leaves, withering brown leaves and branches, and sometimes death as the pollutant hampers the tree's ability to survive. But when the microbe selected specifically to deal with this toxin is introduced, the trees destroyed the TCE—and experienced more robust growth and increased survival rates, clear benefits of the probiotic.
"The real goal is to try to improve performance," said co-author Michael Blaylock, president and CEO of Edenspace Systems Corporation in Virginia. "If we have something that speeds up and improves performance and makes it so the trees can grow better, that's really what we were trying to accomplish with this project."
Additionally, the researchers found that groundwater samples taken directly downstream from the test site showed much lower levels of the toxin, compared with higher levels up-gradient from the testing area. They also found evidence of increased chloride in the soil around the poplar roots, a harmless, naturally occurring element and byproduct of TCE as it is degraded by the bacteria inside trees.
A number of organizations have expressed interest in using this technology, said co-author John Freeman, chief science officer for Intrinsyx Technologies Corporation based at NASA's Research Park. And landowners hampered by the high costs associated with traditional clean-up methods are starting to use the technology.
"This has the potential to make a huge impact on a lot of legacy sites where you have contaminated groundwater issues, including TCE, and where funding is currently less available," Freeman said. "This is definitely a big cost savings to everyone involved. It's a real win-win situation because it's green, it's long-term sustainable, publicly acceptable and it's solar powered by the trees themselves."

Fracking is big in North America, but it generates a lot of "brine," the wastewater that is used to crack open the rocks containing the gas and oil. (That's why it is called fracking, short for Hydraulic Fracturing). A lot of that brine is being spread on roadways to melt ice or keep the dust down, just like they used to do with PCB oil.
The trouble is, this brine has a few other things in it, including heavy metals, organic contaminants and radium. Kristina Marusic writes in Environmental Health News about a new report:
Researchers have found that nearly all of the metals from brine leach out from roadways when it rains, and they speculate that the pollutants could wind up in nearby bodies of water and find their way into local drinking water sources.... In their report, published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, the researchers noted that in Pennsylvania from 2008 to 2014, spreading oil and gas wastewater on roads released more than four times more radium to the environment (320 millicuries) than was released from oil and gas wastewater treatment facilities, and 200 times more radium than spills. Some lead and radium was also found to settle into roadways.
Radium used to be considered great stuff, but people learned pretty quickly that it caused cancer rather than curing it. Then there is the question of whether the brine even worked at all at controlling dust.
Pinterest/ Radium suppositories keep you warm inside/via Pinterest/ Radium suppositories keep you warm inside/via
"Our recommendations for moving forward include setting a limit on radioactivity, reducing the amount of organics, and frankly, testing whether brine even works," Warner said. "If it doesn't work any better than water at suppressing dust, maybe we just don't need to be doing this."
But hey, when it comes to melting snow, the heat from radioactive decay can only help.

The Lions have lost another defensive player for the season.
Brandon Copeland tore a pectoral muscle in Sunday’s preseason game, according to Ian Rapoport, and will undergo season-ending surgery.
Copeland was a Swiss Army knife, capable of playing defensive end and strongside linebacker while serving as a core special teams player. He had received some first-team snaps in training camp, although Antwione Williams started at SAM against the Colts.
Copeland, 26, played all 16 games each of the past two seasons.
The Lions also lost defensive end Kerry Hyder, who tore his Achilles on Sunday, for the season.

It was a bad day of OTAs for the Steelers.
In addition to tackle Jerald Hawkins going down with what appears to be a serious knee injury, the Steelers may have lost another player for the season.
According to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, tight end Jake McGee suffered what is believed to be a torn Achilles.
McGee was on the team’s practice squad last year. He has also spent time with the Chargers and Panthers.

Question: US vows to 'come out flying' in Cup qualifier vs Panama

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Accustomed to qualifying for the World Cup with games to spare, United States players realize another slip could cause them to miss next year's tournament, a circumstance that has swelled angst among a growing fanbase.
"We need three points bad," star teenage midfielder Christian Pulisic said ahead of Friday's qualifier against Panama. "We want to come out flying."
Fourth in the North and Central American and Caribbean region with two games left, the Americans still can earn one of the region's three automatic berths. They likely will need a win against the Panamanians followed by a victory or a draw Tuesday at Trinidad and Tobago.
"I haven't dwelled on what went wrong or what we didn't do," defender Omar Gonzalez said Thursday before the Americans practiced in a warm rain. "We all understand what needs to be done, how we need to step out on the field, the focus that we need to have, the match intensity we need to have throughout the 90-minutes plus."
The Americans have lost two home games in a World Cup cycle for the first time since 1957, 2-1 to Mexico last November and 2-0 to Costa Rica last month — their first defeat in 16 games since Bruce Arena replaced Jurgen Klinsmann as coach.
El Tri have clinched with 18 points, and Los Ticos have 15 and are of the verge of securing a berth. The U.S (nine) would vault over Panama (10) into third with a win. Honduras also has nine points going into its match at Costa Rica on Friday, but the U.S. has a plus-one goal difference to the Ticos' minus-seven.
CONCACAF's fourth-place nation goes to a playoff next month against Australia or Syria, tied 1-1 in their two-leg matchup heading into Tuesday's game at Sydney.
"I think we have to be all more aggressive," forward Jozy Altidore said. "It's a matter of everybody just being a little more confident, taking a little bit more risk in the final third."
Arena, who coached the national team from 1998-2006 before returning in November, brought in a new temporary assistant this week — Bob Bradley, who succeeded him as U.S. coach. Bradley became the first American manager in England's Premier League and has been hired to lead Los Angeles' Major League Soccer expansion team that starts play next year. He also is the father of U.S. captain Michael Bradley.
"I can't think of a greater resource to have available for us," Arena said.
Panama and the U.S. have played four consecutive 1-1 ties, including a March 28 qualifier at Panama City. Fouls of Pulisic prompted Arena to criticize Mexican referee Cesar Ramos and say "I think Panama thought there was a bull's-eye on his back."
"It's to be expected in CONCACAF," Pulisic said. "They're going to come in hard."
Heading into his first international match since turning 19 on Sept. 18, Pulisic has developed into the top American player since making his debut in Germany's Bundesliga in January 2016.
"He plays at Borussia Dortmund in front of 80,000 people," Altidore said. "He plays in Champions League against the biggest players, biggest teams in the world. He's very relaxed. He's fine."
While the U.S. is seeking its eighth straight World Cup berth, Panama is seeking to reach soccer's showcase for the first time. Goalkeeper Jaime Penedo, defender Felipe Baloy and forward Luis Tejada are all 36, part of a talented generation running out of time.
Four years ago the U.S. rested many regulars heading into its qualifying finale at Panama, and the hosts were about 90 seconds from winning and advancing to a playoff against New Zealand. Graham Zusi and Aron Johannsson scored in second-half stoppage time, allowing Mexico to climb over Panama into fourth. El Tri then beat New Zealand for a World Cup berth.
This time, it is the U.S. struggling to remain in contention.
"It's a big occasion," Arena said. "I don't think I need to lecture our players on the significance of the game."
Notes: Roberto Garcia of Mexico will be referee. He was to have worked the March 29 match but got hurt. ... Nine Americans have yellow cards and with another would be suspended for the Trinidad game: Kellyn Acosta, Paul Arriola, DaMarcus Beasley, Alejandro Bedoya, Matt Besler, Bradley, Geoff Cameron, Clint Dempsey and DeAndre Yedlin. ... The U.S. clinched with one game to spare in 1997, 2001 and 2009, with two left in 2013 and with three remaining in 2005.

6 Social Buzz
CHOT Reyes had a word of warning for his Philippines players, even as they celebrated with 2,000 Filipino fans in Lebanon.
Gilas players were able to celebrate with around 2,000 of their Lebanon-based supporters after they beat Qatar 80-74 to complete a sweep of Group B at the FIBA Asia Cup.
But head coach Reyes knows there is plenty of hard work ahead – and that his team must improve in the quarter-finals.
Philippines will meet Japan or South Korea in the last eight on Wednesday, with the winners of that game likely to meet Iran in the semi-finals.
SEE ALSO: FIBA Asia Cup day six: Philippines top group and book quarter-final spot, but China face play-off
But despite sweeping their group, and doing so after a far from smooth preparation for the tournament, Reyes is not getting carried away with his team’s winning start.
“You all know that if we had played Korea or Japan tonight, we would have been heading home,” Reyes told his players after the victory over Qatar.
Against the Qatari team, Gilas went 28-for-71 from the field, turned the ball over 17 times, and had little answer to Mansour Elhadary, who scored 23 points.
“No way we’ll win like that,” said Reyes, as reported by SPIN.ph.
“Seventeen turnovers. We shot less than 40 percent from the field. We couldn’t stop Mansour Elhadary.”
For everything that has gone against them in the past few weeks, with Andray Blatche opting against travelling to Lebanon and Reyes struggling to get his entire squad together for meaningful practices before they departed Manila, they are looking good.
So it is unsurprising that Reyes wants to keep his players firmly grounded before Wednesday’s quarter-final.
Christian Standhardinger, who missed Sunday’s win with stiffness in his neck, is determined to return against Japan or Korea, but the prognosis on Calvin Abueva’s foot injury is less clear.
