Question: Jim Carrey Slammed For Painting Believed To Be Sarah Huckabee Sanders

LOS ANGELES (CBS News) — Jim Carrey has spent the last several years painting, and the actor-turned-artist seems to be getting political in his latest work. Carrey is being criticized on social media for a portrait he painted that is believed to be White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
The actor and comedian on Saturday tweeted the painting with the caption: “This is the portrait of a so-called Christian whose only purpose in life is to lie for the wicked. Monstrous!”
This is the portrait of a so-called Christian whose only purpose in life is to lie for the wicked. Monstrous! https://t.co/MeYLTy1pqb—

Some Twitter users accused Carrey of shaming because of the unflattering portrait. Others were critical of his use of Christian. Some also claimed Carrey is part of the Illuminati, while others taunted the actor over his ex-girlfriend’s suicide.
A spokeswoman for Carrey confirms it is his painting. But she would not confirm it is Sanders.
The White House has not returned a message seeking comment.

Question: One-fifth of Americans find workplace hostile or threatening

represent the article to find a fitting news title

WASHINGTON (AP) — The American workplace is grueling, stressful and surprisingly hostile.
So concludes an in-depth study of 3,066 U.S. workers by the Rand Corp., Harvard Medical School and the University of California, Los Angeles. Among the findings:
— Nearly one in five workers — a share the study calls “disturbingly high” — say they face a hostile or threatening environment at work, which can include sexual harassment and bullying. Workers who have to face customers endure a disproportionate share of abuse.
— Nearly 55 percent say they face “unpleasant and potentially hazardous” conditions.
—Nearly three quarters say they spend at least a fourth of their time on the job in “intense or repetitive physical” labor. “I was surprised at how physically demanding jobs were,” says lead author Nicole Maestas, a Harvard Medical School economist.
—Telecommuting is rare: 78 percent say they are required to be present in their workplace during working hours.
—Only 38 percent say their jobs offer good prospects for advancement. And the older they get, the less optimistic they become.
—About half say they work on their own time to meet the demands of their job.
“Wow — (work) is pretty taxing place for many people,” Maestas says. “I was surprised by how pressured and hectic the workplace is.”
In many cases, less-educated workers endure tougher working conditions. For example, fewer than half of men without college degrees can take a break whenever they want to, compared to more than 76 percent of men with college degrees. Likewise, nearly 68 percent of men without degrees spend at least a fourth of their time moving heavy loads.
Maestas wonders whether toxic working conditions are keeping Americans out of the labor force. The percentage of Americans who are working or looking for work — 62.9 percent in July — has not returned to pre-recession levels and is well below its 2000 peak of 67.3 percent.
The unemployment rate is at a 16-year low, and many employers complain they can’t fill jobs.
“There’s a message for employers here,” Maestas says. “Working conditions really do matter.”
Not everything about American workplaces is grim. Workers enjoy considerable autonomy: more than 80 percent say they get to solve problems and try out their own ideas. Moreover, 58 percent say their bosses are supportive, and 56 percent say they have good friends at work.
The first-time survey of Americans ages 25-71 was carried out in 2015. It is similar to a long-running European survey, and researchers plan to conduct another survey next year and eventually to draw comparisons between U.S. and European working conditions.

Letter shows Jeff Sessions' plan to prosecute medical marijuana providers.

Congressional leaders would do this by agreeing not to renew a current federal law, the Rohrabacher-Farr amendment, which prevents the Justice Department from interfering with medical-marijuana decisions made at the state level.

ALBUQUERQUE, NM (CNN) – A New Mexico woman has been taken to a mental hospital after a shocking find at her home. Authorities found her husband’s mummified body inside a bedroom closet.
There’s now a sign on the garage of the Foothills home warning trespassers to keep out as the house is in foreclosure.
When deputies showed up to evict the owners last month they were shocked at what they found
“I never would have imagined that he would be laying in the closet into a mummified state,” said Thomas Huerta, the dead man’s son.
Police found the body of Huerta’s father on a mattress in the closet, with a pillow propped under his head, and he was tucked in under blankets.
The man’s wife told police he died in April of 2015, more than two years earlier.
“I try not to think about it. It is very difficult,” said Huerta.
Huerta says he is still trying to let the news sink in.
He lives in California now, but visited Albuquerque last October to introduce his father to his pregnant girlfriend.
“Not only she was in there, but so was his mummified corpse,” said Huerta.
According to a report, neighbors noticed the man hadn’t been around, but when they asked his wife, she only told them he was preparing for the ministry.
The woman told police her husband suffered from chronic back pain so he often slept in that closet.
He had been coughing up bile, but refused to go the hospital.
Tom tells me he never imagined his father’s life would end like this.
“It is horrible to think that that was his destiny,” said Huerta.
Authorities are now trying to determine how the man died. It’s unclear if the woman will face criminal charges.

A man who recruited a teenager to set alight a sex worker - leaving her with horrific injuries - has been jailed for at least ten and a half years.

(NEWS10) — Walmart, one of the largest gun sellers in the United States, says it will no longer sell firearms or ammunition to people younger than 21.
In a statement Wednesday evening, Walmart said it is making changes to its firearm sales policy “in light of recent events.”
Walmart says it will also remove items resembling “assault-style rifles, including nonlethal airsoft guns and toys” from its website.
Walmart ended sales of modern sporting rifles, including the controversial AR-15, in 2015, and does not sell bump stocks or high-capacity magazines. The mega-store also says it does not sell handguns, except in Alaska, where it says it will continue to sell them.
The changes will be implemented as quickly as possible.

Fred Meyer stores will phase out all sales of guns and ammunition, according to parent company, Kroger.
"Fred Meyer has made a business decision to exit the firearms category," Kroger spokesperson Kristal Howard said in an emailed statement on Monday.
The company said it made the decision last week "after evaluating changing customer preferences" and also "softening consumer demand" for guns for the last several years.
Annual gun sales at Fred Meyer are $7 million and "continue to decline," according to the company.
"More recently Fred Meyer has been transitioning away from gun departments as a result of the ongoing work to optimize space in Fred Meyer stores," the company said.
The news comes after Kroger announced last week that the grocer will stop selling magazines featuring "assault rifles."
Earlier this month, Kroger said its Fred Meyer stores would stop selling guns to anyone under 21, even though the law permits the sale of rifles to anyone 18 or older. Kroger has 45 Fred Meyer stores located in four Western states.
This followed a decision by Dick's Sporting Goods Chief Executive Officer Edward Stack to stopping selling what he called "assault-style rifles" and high capacity magazines after a mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida.
Walmart, which stopped selling military-style semiautomatic rifles back in 2015, also recently raised its gun purchase age from 18 to 21.

Question: Serial thief trapped in a “vicious circle” of offending is jailed

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

A serial thief trapped in a “vicious circle” of drug-use and re-offending has been jailed after he struck four times at four stores in the same village.
Carl Reid, 31, formerly of West Lea, Clowne, stole DVDs from McColl’s, on Mill Street, in Clowne, DVDs from Tesco, on Mill Green Way, a knife block from Wilkinson’s and from Aldi, both on Mill Green Way, according to a Chesterfield magistrates’ court hearing.
Prosecuting solicitor Becky Allsop told the hearing on Tuesday, October 3: “The thefts from August 8 and August 12 from McColl’s and Tesco were captured by CCTV with the defendant taking DVDs and an energy drink.
“He was interviewed by police and accepted he had stolen the items and sold them on to buy drugs.”
Further CCTV footage captured Reid, according to Mrs Allsop, stealing meat from an Aldi store in Clowne from August 15 and he was identified at Wilkinson’s in the town after stealing a knife block on September 6.
The court heard how Reid was still on post sentence supervision at the time of the offences having been released from prison earlier in the year for a previous conviction.
Reid, of no fixed abode, pleaded guilty to the four thefts and also admitted failing to surrender to custody in September when he should have appeared in court and a warrant had to be issued for his arrest.
Defence solicitor Kirsty Sargent said all the thefts were unsophisticated and he was spotted each time and on one occasion he walked past a till with the items in his hands.
Ms Sargent added that Reid has been trapped in a “vicious circle” with long-standing drug issues leading to offending that leads to prison where he has not received support for his addiction before he has been put back into the community with no support or money.
But the probation service stated Reid has failed to attend meetings with them and he has shown a lack of motivation.
Magistrates sentenced Reid to ten weeks of custody. He was also ordered to pay a £115 victim surcharge, £170 costs and £84.97 compensation.

Question: Valentine's Day: Dread or Delight?

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

Pockets emptied, kisses galore, and what some may say is a little too much PDA — public display of affection. It’s the famed day of love around the world: Valentine’s Day.
But aside from the glamour and fluff, what is the actual perception of Valentine’s Day? Let’s just say, men and women tend to have a very different sentiment about the “love holiday.”
There are two very different sides to this day. You have the man, who usually digs a little further down in his wallet and heart to please a special lady in his life.
Then you have the special lady who gets the pleasure of being showered in whatever gifts or extra affection the man chooses to give.
In return, she may or may not do the same. But that’s deemed to be OK … right?
Let’s be completely honest, Valentine’s Day is catered to women. Of course there are plenty of women who reciprocate actions, but the day itself screams: “Show your lady how much you love her!”
From the store aisles flooded with chocolates and teddy bears, to the dozens of jeweler commercials urging that “this ring will keep you in her heart forever,” men are under pressure to impress on some level.
While I personally admire the holiday, I do feel there is a little too much emphasis on what men must cough up compared to women.
This emphasis has become so dominating, that it leaves many men dreading the day itself. Women, on the other hand, are often looking forward to it.
MSN Lifestyle cited studies that show men, on average, men spend about twice as much — $168.74 vs $85.76 — as women do.
Not only are men expected to find the perfect gift for us, but they are also challenged with the task of exercising that romantic and creative muscle of theirs to put together some big, special, eventful day. Obviously, a struggle for some of the guys out there.
While Valentine’s Day is like a second birthday for women, one where we all have the same birthday, the reality tends to go a little like this:
Woman: Valentine’s Day is around the corner. I can’t wait to see what he got me and has planned. I bet he’s been working on it for months!
Man: Valentine’s Day is coming up. I have to figure out what the hell I’m going to do. This is gonna hurt my wallet. Guess I’ll skip out on the new 2K.
Woman: I bet that new Pandora bracelet I’ve been eyeing is hiding somewhere in his car. And after that, Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse.
Man: She should be alright with flowers … right? After all she does love me, right? And she does know I love her, right? And she does understand that I’m just a broke college student, right?
And now I should say something cute and encouraging for the guys … so sorry guys. Just let the ladies have it. It’s only one day out of the year. Besides, Valentine’s Day isn’t the only day that you should work to make her happy!

Do you agree with this list? What’s your favorite patriotic song?

Question: Big Little Lies Season 2 Is Officially in Production-See the Behind-the-Scenes Pictures!

Madeline. Celeste. Jane. Renata. Bonnie. They're all back for Big Little Lies season two, which is officially production. The cast, which includes Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern and Zoë Kravitz, returned to work on the HBO series' second season and naturally took to social media to mark the occasion. Dern posted the above photo of her and Witherspoon on set as Renata and Madeline.
Last week Woodley posted her return to dark hair for Jane Chapman and Kravitz also posted a picture signifying her return to Bonnie's braids.
HBO said the new season will "explore the malignancy of lies, the durability of friendships, the fragility of marriage and, of course, the vicious ferocity of sound parenting. Relationships will fray, loyalties will erode…the potential for emotional and bodily injury shall loom."

Question: B.C. hockey team to retire Humboldt Bronco victim’s number

The Surrey Eagles will retire Jaxon Joseph’s No. 10 jersey at the beginning of next season, the team announced. (Surrey Eagles photo)
A few days after Jaxon Joseph’s death – one of 16 in the Humboldt Broncos’ bus crash April 6 – Blaine Neufeld, former coach with the Surrey Eagles, said what he wanted, more than anything, was for the 20-year-old hockey player to be remembered.
Now, the Eagles have found a way to do just that – by retiring Joseph’s No. 10 jersey.
Team president Chuck Westgard confirmed to Black Press this week that the number will go up into the rafters, but said official plans to honour Joseph – who played for the Eagles during the 2015/16 season – were still being worked out.
After his time in South Surrey, Joseph moved on to the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, first with the Melfort Mustangs and then with Humboldt. The Broncos were on their way to a playoff game in Nipawin when their team bus collided with a semi truck.
Westgard hopes the gesture will serve as a way not only to honour Joseph, but his Humboldt teammates, as well.
“It’s a tragedy that hit everyone hard, especially those of us in the hockey community,” Westgard said Tuesday. “Number one, this is a way to honour Jaxon, but number two, it’s a way to acknowledge what happened and make sure people don’t ever forget.
“We need to remember those kids, and those people.”
Speaking with Black Press a few days after the bus crash, Neufeld said the tragedy hit home with everyone involved in the sport, calling it “heartbreaking, horrific – it’s about as bad as it gets.”
Though Joseph only played part of one season in Surrey, he was one of the team’s most well-respected players, Neufeld said.
“Beyond the game of hockey, he was a young man who was built to succeed in life, and it’s just a shame he isn’t going to get that chance,” he said at the time.
Joseph’s number will be the second retired by the club. Former forward Jeff Nabseth’s No. 8 jersey was retired after he was killed in a bike accident on Vancouver Island in 1999.
Caige Sterzer wore No. 10 last season with the Eagles, and while the team brass hasn’t spoke with him yet about making a switch, Westgard said “he won’t have any problem with it.”

Question: Watch New Order Cover Joy Division at Coachella

By Annie Reuter
New Order played an electrifying set on Sunday evening (April 16) at Coachella. No strangers to the festival, the group previously played Coachella in 2005 and 2013, and this year they encored with two Joy Division songs. Most of the members of New Order began their career in the goth band Joy Division but changed their name and their songwriting approach after singer Ian Curtis hung himself in 1980.

New Order’s Coachella set spanned their lengthy catalog, ending with Joy Division’s “Blue Monday” (which was originally released by Joy Division before New Order re-released it) and “Temptation.” Several fans captured the performance on video.

New Order keyboardist and guitarist Gillian Gilbert spoke with the San Diego Union-Tribune ahead of the festival and says the band always looks forward to playing Coachella.
“We didn’t have a lot of festivals in the early 1980s,” Gilbert noted. “A lot of people come and there are a lot of different age groups, instead of playing just to an older audience who have grown up with us. It’s quite refreshing to play at festivals and have a lot of people dancing along to our new songs.
“Coachella is totally magical! It’s brilliant and it’s very different from English festivals, because of the weather. We had a great time playing Coachella in the past. Everything seems a lot more positive and people are there for the music and to have a good time. When you perform in concert halls, it’s all very serious and you can’t relax. But with everything that’s going on at Coachella, it’s just amazing.”

Question: Holocaust monument plaque to be redone

OTTAWA — Days after it was unveiled, the space for the dedication plaque at the National Holocaust Monument is empty, marked only by bolt holes.
The plaque's now in for a rewrite, after failing to mention Jews or the Jewish people, the prime targets of the Second World War genocide.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dedicated the monument last week and complaints about the original plaque were quick to come.
Martin Sampson, of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, says the wording was noticed immediately and the government acknowledged the error.

Just watched a a man run away after smashing Boston's Holocaust Memorial with a rock. These acts of hatred are ever… https://t.co/m6GWI9wGbA
Someone threw a rock at the New England Holocaust Memorial in Boston on Monday, shattering one of its six glass towers for the second time this summer.
Police arrested a suspect Monday evening on suspicion of vandalism, a Boston Police Department spokesman told BuzzFeed News. The incident was reported around 6:40 p.m., and more details were not immediately available.
The memorial was vandalized under similar circumstances in June. At that time, police arrested a 21-year-old man on suspicion of willful and malicious destruction of property and destruction of a place of memorial.
The memorial was dedicated in 1995 after a campaign by Holocaust survivors who settled in the Boston area. Its six glass towers aim to represent the 6 million Jews killed in six major death camps. The towers are illuminated like memorial candles, and their glass is etched with millions of numbers, reminiscent of the serial number tattoos forced upon victims.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who represents Massachusetts, responded on Twitter.

Question: Editorial: They Published The Next Day

Anton Media Group, the publisher of the newspaper you are reading right now, is not a big newsroom—there are less than 20 individuals on the editorial team, and even fewer than that in the sales and design departments. This is a tight-knit, family-run organization publishing an immense amount of content each and every week.
Similar sentiments can be said for the Capital Gazette, a local community newspaper in Annapolis, MD, where a gunman entered on June 28 and slaughtered five people who were working hard to put together the latest issue of their paper. The dead include the editorial page editor, an assistant editor, a staff writer, a sales assistant and a special publications employee. All positions that currently exist here at Anton Media Group.
Try to imagine yourself at your place of employment, wherever that might be. You work hard to bring home your pay to take care of yourself or your family. Then imagine that sometimes an outsider decides to sit down and take the time to write a hateful letter to you merely because they disagree with your particular view of the world. This has happened in every newsroom I’ve ever worked in—for the most part, exchanges with readers are constructive back-and-forth debates, but sometimes reporters and editors have to deal with complaints that border on dangerous harassment.
Now imagine that you’re employed at a media outlet and the president stands in front of his followers—many of whom just so happen to be gun owners—and describes the news media as the “enemy of the American people,” while those same followers insist that they cannot wait for vigilantes to start “gunning journalists down,” as former Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos did just two days before the attack. Would you feel safe? Would you go to work every day?
Well, we go to work every day, as do other journalists in community newspapers across the country. The Capital Gazette went back to work, in fact, they went ahead and published their paper the day after the shooting with front-page coverage of the five colleagues shot dead. That should tell you all you need to know about the people who do this for a living—in spite of the dangers or the rhetoric or readers’ contempt, the deadlines will be met and the paper will be published.
Whether the shooting was motivated by the extreme right’s insistence that journalists are the enemy or it was something else entirely is irrelevant. The fact that it is plausible that the act could have been motivated by violent threats from the leader of the free world is deeply troubling.
And yet, in all that despair, there is one indisputable fact: the more the current occupant of the White House vilifies the media, the more journalists he is creating.

Question: Michael Bennett confronts reporters during Quinton Jefferson's postgame interview

Seahawks defensive end Quinton Jefferson was ejected in the final seconds of Seattle’s loss to the Jaguars on Sunday. As Jefferson made his way towards the tunnel, a Jaguars fan threw beer at him, causing Jefferson to make an attempt to enter the stands.
Jefferson was pulled down before the situation got out of hand, and the ugly scene carried over into a confrontational postgame media exchange. While Jefferson was getting asked about the incident, Bennett jumped in to tell reporters to stop asking Jefferson questions. The exchange was captured below. (Mobile users can see the video here.)
Bennett said:
“He doesn’t want to talk to you anymore. Move away from him. He doesn’t want to talk to you anymore. He’s emotional right now. You win. You guys win. This what you guys want to see? You want to see him act in a certain way? Move out the way. He’s done. The man was disrespected. People threw food on him. He’s not an animal, he’s a human being. So get out of here. He’s a human being. How would you like it if one of your kids was playing sports and someone threw beer on him? Exactly. So don’t come here with that (expletive) then. He’s here. What else do you want to ask him? He had beer thrown on him.”
Bennett was penalized moments before Jefferson’s ejection for going low on Jaguars center Brandon Linder with Jacksonville in the victory formation. He didn’t offer an explanation for the hit after the game.

Question: South Elgin Standoff Ends As SWAT Takes Down Frank Dripps, Gunman Who Shot Three Officers

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

The incident follows 20 years without an officer-involved shooting in Kane County village.
The small village of South Elgin is home to a scant 23,000 residents and had gone two decades without an officer-involved shooting until gunfire erupted outside a condo around 10 p.m. on July 3. Three police officers were wounded during a shootout and four-hour standoff on the 300 block of Woodridge Circle in South Elgin, according to The Daily Herald.
The condo owner’s son, Matthew Horne, spoke to The Elgin Courier about Frank Dripps, 52, who had moved into the condo after his wife met the owner at work. Horne described the couple as “down on their luck,” and said Dripps asked residents of the condo to take care of his wife, Paula, before he reportedly snatched a rifle and a shotgun from the rooms they rented.
“He said a bunch of weird stuff… and then went into his room and came out with the guns.”
According to WGN 9, South Elgin Police Sgt. Mike Doty said Dripps immediately fired a shotgun at officers as they responded to a call of shots fired at the condominium, and three officers were hit. Eleven different area police departments and two SWAT teams responded to the scene, and a perimeter was set up around the building while about 20 residents were evacuated from their homes around midnight, leaving the condo empty.
NBC Chicago reported that Dripps moved from the apartment to a balcony, and then barricaded himself in a stairwell, according to Doty, who said Dripps was apparently yelling vulgarities at police.
“I don’t know all the back and forth, all I know is he had tried to speak with the officers and he initially told our officers that if they came near him, he would shoot them.”
Dripps had a rifle with a scope in addition to the shotgun, and Doty said he raised the weapons to his shoulder “off and on” during the four-hour standoff before firing again at around 2:30 a.m., at which point an officer in the stairwell returned fire and shot Dripps, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Update from South Elgin Police in Officer involved shooting: suspect shot and killed has been identified as 52-year-old Frank Dripps. @nbcchicago pic.twitter.com/JGkXpnjJji — Sandra Torres (@SandraTorresNBC) July 4, 2018
ABC News reported that the wounded officers belonged to the Kane County SWAT Team, with one officer from the Geneva Police Department, one from the Hannover Park Police Department, and the third with the Kane County Sheriff’s Office.
According to Fox News, three wounded officers were transported to Presence Saint Joseph Hospital and another officer who was involved in the shooting was taken to Advocate Sherman Hospital for observation.

Question: How To Get $20,000 Off The Price Of A Master's Degree

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

There's an experiment underway at a few top universities around the world to make some master's degrees out there more affordable.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for example, says the class of 2018 can get a master's degree in supply chain management for more than $20,000 off from the university's normal price, which runs upwards of $67,000 for the current year academic year.
But it's not as simple as sending in a coupon with your tuition bill.
It's called a "MicroMasters." MIT, Columbia University, the University of Michigan and the Rochester Institute of Technology are among a dozen or so universities globally that are giving this online program a shot.
It's not a full degree, but a sort of certificate, and can be a step toward a degree.
There are things in it for students, and for the school.
What's in it for students: cost
Let's take Danaka Porter as an example. She's a 31-year-old business consultant from Vancouver, British Columbia, and says a master's degree was exactly what she needed to boost her career.
"I found that people were a little bit more respected, I guess, once they had their master's because it was like they had taken that next step to go a little bit further," she says.
But she couldn't afford to stop working and become a full-time student again. She owns a house, she says, and "I have bills, and all of that stuff that doesn't stop because I wanted to go to school."
When a friend told that MIT was piloting its first partially online master's degree in supply chain management, she signed up.
The tuition for a year in the master's of supply chain management costs $67,938. Her MicroMasters certification, though, is just $1,350.
It's called a MicroMasters because it isn't a full degree, just a step toward one, though Porter says the coursework is just as rigorous as if she were on MIT's campus in Cambridge.
"It requires a lot of effort and if you don't have a background in math, engineering or supply chain it's not a breeze. Like, we do have people that fail," she says.
Even if she passes the certification, Porter will still need to complete a semester "in residence" at full cost if she wants to finish her graduate degree. It's part of what MIT calls the "blended" program — online and on-campus.
Getting accepted is no easy task. MIT says it expects to admit 40 students a year into the blended program.
Some top schools from around the world are on board with MIT.
There's user experience research and design from the University of Michigan; entrepreneurship from the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore; and artificial intelligence from Columbia University, among others.
Even if students don't go for a full master's, the online course work can make them more appealing to employers.
Industry leaders who say they can't find enough qualified candidates are looking for very specific skills like the ones being taught. GE, Walmart, IBM and Volvo have recognized MicroMasters and are encouraging their employees and job applicants to take these courses.
Some students who are enrolled in MIT's on-campus program wish these online courses had been available to them before spending big on their degrees.
"If this was an option, I think I would have considered it," says Veronica Stolear, a graduate student at MIT from Caracas, Venezuela. She quit her job in the oil industry to earn her master's in supply chain management. Ultimately, though, she thinks her on-campus experience will pay off.
"The in-campus program is more expensive, but you're getting also the experience of living in Boston, interacting with people from MIT that might not be in supply chain but might be in like the business school and like other types of departments," she says.
What's in it for schools: getting the best applicants
You might be wondering what MIT gets out this arrangement.
Admissions officers here say they'll weigh applicants' performance in these online courses.
Anant Agarwal, an MIT professor and CEO of the online-learning platform edX that makes these online courses possible, sees it all as a way to filter the applicant pool.
"When you get applications from people all over the world, it's often a crap-shoot," he says. "You don't know the veracity of the recommendation letters or the grades. And so you're taking a bet very often."
And Agarwal says that should give MIT and other institutions a better sense of how students will perform — if they're lucky enough to get in.

Question: City Council Approves Hartford's Bid For State Oversight

Represent the article to find a fitting news title.

Despite early reservations, Hartford’s city council on Monday greenlighted a proposal to seek state oversight in exchange for tens of millions of dollars in additional assistance that the city will need to balance its budget.
The council approved a request from Mayor Luke Bronin to apply for state monitoring. If accepted by the state, Hartford will be watched by an 11-member panel and must report its budgets, contracts and other transactions to the group.
Several council members had expressed steadfast opposition to the oversight, saying it undermined the power of local government. Last year, the group rejected a different plan that would have involved some state intervention in city financial dealings.
But in recent months, as Hartford’s outlook worsened and the threat of bankruptcy grew, they have softened on the issue, pointing to oversight as the city’s last hope to avoid insolvency.
“There was a lot of discussion and controversy over bankruptcy. This is a stopgap,” Councilwoman Glendowlyn Thames, a Democrat, said Monday. “This is an opportunity to prevent us from following that path to bankruptcy.
“Hopefully this will give us the tools that we need and create a new partnership with the state so we can get on a path of fiscal sustainability.”
The oversight board will have the power to reject — up to two times — each new labor contract and arbitration award. It also must approve any new debt issued by the city.
The panel ranks municipalities based on the severity of their financial problems. Tier one is the lowest ranking and involves little monitoring. Tier four is the highest and calls for the most scrupulous oversight.
Hartford would begin with a tier three designation. If its financial situation doesn’t improve, it could move to the fourth tier as early as April, though council members say they’re opposed to that. Under a tier four status, the oversight board would control city spending and could select its own arbitrator to preside over union discussions.
“We should do everything that we can to avoid that,” Council President Thomas “TJ” Clarke said after a meeting in November. “It very much is going to limit the powers of the local elected officials and we will be at the hands of the [oversight] board.”
When lawmakers adopted a state budget in October, they set aside $28 million in a special account for distressed municipalities. They also launched a program to help struggling cities with debt payments.
To qualify for that funding, cities and towns must agree to be monitored by the oversight board.
Hartford, facing a $65 million deficit, could get as much as $20 million from the special account and another $20 million in state-subsidized debt payments. Bronin has asked for at least $40 million more from the state this year.
The mayor, who has long advocated for stronger ties with the state, said he plans to submit an application for oversight this week.
“I’m confident in the decisions we’ve made and the discipline with which we’ve budgeted, and I welcome the chance to open our books,” he said.
The oversight board held its first meeting last week. Eight people have been appointed to the panel, and more are expected to follow in the coming weeks.
Members are Thomas Hamilton, chief financial officer of Norwalk Public Schools; Patrick J. Egan, former president of the New Haven Firefighters IAFF Local 825; John B. Nolan, a lawyer for Day Pitney; Scott D. Jackson, the state’s labor commissioner and former mayor of Hamden; and Mark Waxenberg, former executive director of the Connecticut Education Association.
The board is co-chaired by state Treasurer Denise Nappier and Ben Barnes, secretary of Connecticut’s Office of Policy and Management.

Question: With Republicans in charge, state legislatures see flood of activity on abortion bills

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) -- Republicans who control a majority of the nation's statehouses are considering a wide range of abortion legislation that could test the government's legal ability to restrict a woman's right to terminate pregnancy.
The Mississippi House passed a bill Friday that would make the state the only one to ban all abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. In Missouri, lawmakers heard testimony earlier in the week on a bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks.
The Ohio House is expected to consider bills, already passed in the Senate, that would prohibit the most common type of procedure used to end pregnancies after 13 weeks and require that fetal remains be buried or cremated.
Abortion is a perennial hot button issue in statehouses across the country. Republican-controlled states have passed hundreds of bills since 2011 restricting access to the procedure while Democratic-led states have taken steps in the other direction.
The early weeks of this year's state legislative sessions have seen a flurry of activity around the issue. It comes as activists on both sides say they expect the U.S. Supreme Court to soon consider a question that remains unclear: How far can states go in restricting abortion in the interest of preserving and promoting fetal life?
The state bills debated since the start of the year "are all tests designed to see how far government power to legislate on behalf of a fetus can reach," said Jessica Mason Pieklo, who has been tracking legislation as the senior legal analyst for Rewire, a website that promotes views supporting abortion rights.
She said the outcome will determine whether states can legally ban abortion after a specific time period and outlaw specific medical procedures. Advocates for abortion rights say those strategies undermine the Supreme Court's 1973 ruling that women have the right to terminate pregnancies until a fetus is viable.
In Utah, critics have warned that a pending bill to prevent doctors from performing abortions on the basis of a Down syndrome diagnosis is unconstitutional. But its co-sponsor, Republican state Sen. Curt Bramble, said he is willing to defend the bill in court because its goal is to protect unborn children.
"There are times if the Supreme Court got it wrong, it is appropriate to push back," said Bramble, an accountant from Provo.
The anti-abortion bills have drawn opposition from women who say they have made the excruciating choice to terminate a pregnancy, often after discovering serious fetal abnormalities.
"A 20-week abortion ban sounds OK, but if that gets passed, what's next -- 18 weeks, 15 weeks? At what point does it make abortion truly illegal?" said Robin Utz of St. Louis, 38, who submitted testimony this week against the Missouri bill. "It's terrifying and it's willfully ignorant."
Utz recounted terminating her pregnancy in its 21st week in November 2016, after learning her daughter would be born with a fatal kidney disease if she survived birth. She said doctors told her that dilation and evacuation, the most common abortion procedure in the second trimester, was the safest way to terminate the pregnancy.
Undeterred by such stories, the National Right to Life Committee and its allies have been pushing for state laws that ban abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy and outlaw dilation and evacuation. Supporters of both measures argue that fetuses are capable of feeling pain after 20 weeks and call the procedure "dismemberment abortion."
Several court challenges to both types of laws are underway, with federal appeals courts considering the "dismemberment abortion" bans approved last year in Texas and Arkansas. The Kansas Supreme Court is expected to rule soon on the first-in-the-nation ban passed in that state three years ago.
Ingrid Duran, director of state legislation at the National Right to Life Committee, said the model state laws drafted by her group are aimed at U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, a swing vote who wrote the court's 2007 opinion upholding a federal ban on a procedure critics call partial-birth abortion.
She said the court could use similar reasoning to prohibit dilation and evacuation and noted it has never considered whether states have an interest in protecting fetuses from pain.
"We did draft these laws with the bigger picture in mind," Duran said.
The shifted focus comes after the court dealt the anti-abortion movement a blow in 2016 by ruling that strict Texas regulations on abortion clinics and doctors were an undue burden on abortion access and unconstitutional.
Anti-abortion groups hope President Donald Trump will be able to nominate one or more justices to the Supreme Court following last year's confirmation of Neil Gorsuch, potentially making the court more conservative on the issue for decades to come.
In the meantime, some of them are cautioning their allies not to go too far.
Duran said the proposed 15-week ban in Mississippi, which now goes to the state Senate, caught her by surprise. She noted that prior state laws banning abortion after 12 weeks or once a heartbeat was detected have been found unconstitutional.
In South Carolina this past week, state senators tabled a bill that would have banned most abortions to give lawmakers more time to study the consequences. Also last week, a legislative committee in Tennessee amended a bill to remove language that would have outlawed abortion once a fetal heartbeat is detectable, which is usually around six weeks. The bill's sponsor, Republican Rep. Micah Van Huss, said he would be back.
"I will not stop fighting for the lives of babies until abortion is abolished in this state," he said.

COLUMBUS >> More than a dozen women have staged a protest against a proposed ban on Ohio’s most common abortion procedure while dressed in character from the dystopian novel “The Handmaid’s Tale.”
The group attended a committee hearing at the Statehouse Tuesday while wearing red capes and white bonnets. The costumes resemble those worn in a new television series based on Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel, in which women are forced to give birth.
They were fighting legislation criminalizing what anti-abortion activists call “dismemberment abortion.” The medical term is dilation and evacuation.
The bill would prohibit doctors from using forceps or similar instruments on a live fetus to remove it from the womb in pieces. Seven states have such bans.

Similar costumed protests to anti-abortion bills have taken place elsewhere, including in Texas and Missouri.

Question: South Dakota Dems: Giving up on trying to elect candidates in favor of “The Obama Legacy”

From a reader’s mailbox:
Interesting. They claim they’re protecting Obama’s legacy, blah, blah, blah…. and talk about their message. But… what about their candidates? They just aren’t talking about them. It seems that the SD Dems have conceded ever winning elections in SD.
“Every dollar that you donate goes towards holding the GOP accountable.” But in past appeals, it’s at least had some oblique mention about helping Dems get elected. But now? Nada.
You have to wonder, what exactly do candidates such as Tim Bjorkman and Billie Sutton feel about their open abandonment of their mission to elect candidates, instead focusing on “the Obama Legacy?”

Question: Review: A questionable murder derails 'Rough Night' fun

In “Rough Night ” four women on a wild and crazy bachelorette weekend in Miami accidentally kill a guy and try to get away with it.
You know it’s coming. It’s right there in the trailer. In the middle of the party, Jillian Bell’s coked out character runs full speed toward a male stripper to straddle him and inadvertently knocks the guy over. As his seat falls back, his head cracks into the sharp edged fireplace ledge behind him.
What the trailer doesn’t show is the reddish black blood oozing out from the dead guy’s head onto the white tile floor. Have I mentioned this is a comedy? Was the trailer warning us about this moment so we could be prepared? Or was it selling it as part of the laughs?
Others have tried to venture into this questionable terrain before, like the insanely awful “Very Bad Things,” in which the dead stripper is referred to as a “105 pound problem.” Comedies are welcome to test our moral flexibility, but it was extremely hard to get on board with the privileged cover-up antics of the “Rough Night” crew after the man bleeds out – no matter what narrative gymnastics they try to concoct to make it OK. Not even “Weekend At Bernie’s” had the gall to make the protagonists the murderers.
The thing is, there is a lot of funny in “Rough Night,” the directorial debut of Lucia Aniello, who wrote the script with her partner Paul W. Downs (he also plays the straight-laced fianc of Scarlett Johansson’s character). The comedy duo has the chops to make something wild and great – they’ve worked as co-producers and writers on the wonderfully manic millennial friendship comedy “Broad City,” which Aniello also directs occasionally.
For “Rough Night” they assembled a great (and brilliantly random) cast, including “Broad City’s” salty star Ilana Glazer, Saturday Night Live’s pinch-hitter Kate McKinnon, the fearless up-and-comer Bell and the wonderfully versatile Zoe Kravitz. They’re put in an initial situation that’s both relatable (college friends reuniting years later for a bachelorette) and gives room for things to get out of control (just add some cocaine, missed connections and a pair of crazy neighbors in Demi Moore and Ty Burrell). But it lacks “Broad City’s” delicious edge and deranged specificity in favor of something more broad and generic.
We meet the girls briefly in college. Jess (Johansson), Alice (Bell), Blair (Kravitz) and Frankie (Glazer) are inseparable and unapologetically sloshed at a frat party owning a game of beer pong.
Cut to few years later and they’ve gone their separate ways and grown up, sort of. Jess is even running for office, sporting a politician crop and dowdy wares. There’s a great bit between her and her campaign staff about the reasons she’s lagging in the polls.
That most have evolved beyond their college selves makes the reunion feel a little bit like forced joy at the outset. But that’s a good thing, and you find yourself cringing and laughing in equal measure as they negotiate how the weekend is going to go. Things take a turn, too, when Jess’ friend Pippa (McKinnon, affecting an Australian accent) from a semester abroad shows up – throwing Alice into a jealousy spiral. But then the stripper comes, and dies, and it’s excruciatingly hard to care or worry about whether or not they’re going to get away with it, let alone how the friendship is going to survive this trial.
There are some wild moments that come after, and some of them are fun (watch out for the “sad astronaut”). I just wish they weren’t in service of a throwaway gimmick that is too dark to stomach.
“Rough Night,” a Sony Pictures release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “crude sexual content, language throughout, drug use and brief bloody images.” Running time: 101 minutes. Two stars out of four.

Question: Woman Shaves Legs In Hotel Pool, Video Goes Viral

Represent this text to find a news title for it.

FLORIDA (CBS Local) – A woman in Florida has gone viral for all the wrong reasons after getting caught shaving her legs in a hotel pool.
In a video posted to Reddit, the swimmer was outed by fellow pool-goers who can be heard commenting on the public shaving. The May 27 post was quickly up-voted by over 55,000 Reddit users.
Several people commenting on Reddit claimed this personal hygiene foul is just the tip of the iceberg at public pools across the country. “Yeah I used to work at a public pool and for whatever reason they attract the worst of humanity. I would never swim in a public pool after that experience,” one person alleged.
“My leg hurts from running too much and I was considering becoming a swimmer at my local YMCA,” another reader added. “After reading this comment. Nope. I’d rather run on my sprained knee.”
Although the Internet’s “court of public opinion” is largely in agreement that the unidentified swimmer committed a serious pool no-no, Florida doesn’t actually have rules against shaving in a public swimming area.

Question: TV View: Ireland’s got talent all right - it’s in Johnny’s right boot

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

“Bloody hell, that’s us done.” And six hours and 40 minutes after saying hello, Joe Molloy bid us adieu, himself and the entire TV3 organisation most probably heading out to the car park of their Ballymount premises to erect a statue of Johnny Sexton’s right boot.
If it hadn’t been for said boot, “everyone would be getting up depressed tomorrow morning,” as Ronan O’Gara put it. Instead, “everything is beautiful and all is possible again.” And when the question is asked, ‘where were you when . . . ?’, the bulk of the nation will respond: ‘Sitting on the couch watching TV3.’
As debuts go, that one’s hard to top, the channel’s only slight concern likely to be that over the course of their four-year contract, they will never have another Six Nations moment to match Johnny’s 83rd-minute jaw-droppingly wondrous intervention. To be negative about it then, it’s all downhill from here.
It was reaching a point the past couple of weeks where you wouldn’t have been surprised if Roy Cropper started reminding his bacon-butty-seeking customers in Corrie’s caf that TV3 would be showing us the Six Nations this year, so all-pervasive was the channel’s promotional plugs for the campaign ahead.
But ‘Super Saturday’ finally arrived, the menu featuring just the six and half hours of rugby coverage, followed by Ireland’s Got Talent, which, by then, we hoped would already have been demonstrated in Paris.
Which it was, by Johnny’s boot, resulting in Ireland’s Got Talent being delayed, probably resulting in the advertised spoons-playing man throwing a strop when he should have just been grateful he wasn’t pitted against Johnny’s boot in the voting.
Now, it’s been a while since there was fresh research done on the most stressful life events for the average Irish person, but it’s likely that the current top five, in no particular order, is divorce, moving house, switching jobs, trying to get through to report a broadband fault and RTÉ losing their Six Nations rights to TV3.
It’s not that there’s any special gra for RTÉ, we give out about them almost as much as we discuss the weather, but change tends to bring us all out in a rash. And the prospect of the Six Nations on the telly without Brent Pope was a bit like Christmas being a Santa-free zone. Old habits die hard, too. You’d wonder how many people found themselves watching The Secret Life of Walter Mitty on RTE2 at 4.45 wondering all the time why the match was delayed.
But the time had come, the grand opening featuring a man raking a beach, with horses trotting past in the background, interspersed with clips of rugby. As you’d expect.
From there, TV3 had a similar day to the one Joe Schmidt’s men experienced in Paris: promising start, rocky middle, spectacular end.
The rocky bit was that 16 second spell when they were showing us ads while Wales and Scotland had already kicked off the opening game of the 2018 Six Nations, the fault apparently resting with the ref who blew his whistle too quickly, with no thought given to broadcasters trying to recoup the money they’d dished out in the first place for their Six Nations rights.
That, of course, left the nation decidedly grumpy, stirring memories of TV3’s rugby World Cup coverage in 2015 which featured considerably more ads than tries.
But, that hiccup aside, it was largely quality, refreshing fare, Molloy playing a blinder. There are hosts whose sole aim is to demonstrate that they know more than their panel of experts, then there are those who are secure enough to ask questions to which they know the answers. The mission being to give viewers a better insight. Bill O’Herlihy was the master, anyone familiar with him from Off The Ball knows Molloy has a similar ego-less touch.
We saw it in the post-match chat with Ronan O’Gara (dropping in from New Zealand, like you do), Matt Williams and Shane Jennings, who were all probed in to getting us in to the mind of Johnny Sexton. It was terrific stuff, O’Gara especially, him no stranger to rather useful last minute drop goals.
“Does Johnny Sexton want a penalty [in those circumstances] over a drop goal,” asked Molloy.
“A penalty is a controlled situation, you can snap in to a routine,” said O’Gara. “A drop goal, there are so many uncontrollables . . . a penalty is like a drive in golf, a drop goal is kind of a wonder shot out of a bunker . . . especially from 40 yards.”
Williams put it all down to the relentless drive for perfection. “I bet he kicked as a kid on Christmas day, because that’s what the obsessive people do,” he said. Jennings smiled. “He’s probably the most stubborn person I’ve ever come across in my life,” he said. The upshot? “You’ll have young kids in the back garden knocking drop goals over, going ‘I’m Johnny Sexton!’ It’s just brilliant.”
Over in Paris Shane Horgan was close enough to being lost for words, apart from: “It was properly ridiculous.”
“By God did he deliver,” O’Gara concluded. “Up steps the king and knocks it over.”
“Magic,” said Molloy.
That it was.
