Just appears steady to me but prone to drop the ball at least once a game and doesn't seem to possess an offload.
He can offload, but it's about doing it at the right time. Had some niggling injuries and has been in and out of the side. When he does next feature for us, he needs to prove a point and have a big game. Moors and Cook are big loses but Sneyd is for you , hopefully both sides can avoid a big injury list for the rest of the season and perhaps there might be a final between us in October.

Question: Irish Rail closes toilet at Tralee's train station because of drug use

Irish Rail has closed the toilet at Tralee’s train station because of drug use.
The facilities at Casement Station now only open 25 minutes prior to a train departing and will then close.
Jane Cregan of Irish Rail says the toilets were subject to anti-social behaviour including drug use when they were available the whole time the station was open.
She says reducing the times the facilities are in operation will mean safer conditions for customers and staff.

There are calls for extra Dublin Buses to be deployed for Luas customers who cannot board packed trams.
New longer carriages were being introduced to cope with the extra demand since the Green Line extension opened last December.
However, they have since been withdrawn while problems with their batteries are addressed.
According to The Irish Times, Green TD Catherine Martin has asked the Government to sanction extra Dublin Buses at rush hour for people unable to board trams that are too full.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Latest on the North Korea crisis (all times local):
8:10 a.m.
The top U.S. military officer says the United States wants to peacefully resolve a deepening standoff with North Korea but is also ready to use the "full range" of its military capabilities in case of provocation.

The comments by Marine Corps Gen. Joseph Dunford in meetings Monday with senior South Korean military and political officials appeared to be an attempt to ease anxiety over tit-for-tat threats between President Donald Trump and North Korea while also showing a willingness to back up Trump's warnings if necessary.
Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that the U.S. is "seeking a peaceful resolution to the crisis."
Dunford is visiting South Korea, Japan and China after a week in which Trump said he was ready to unleash "fire and fury" if North Korea continued to threaten the United States.

Question: Alcohol abuse linked to higher risk of heart attack and heart failure

Represent this text to find a news title for it

Drinkers should not justify excessive alcohol consumption because they think it will be "good for their heart" , an expert has said after a new study found that p roblem drinking can increase a person's chances of heart attack and heart failure.
Alcohol abuse has previously been linked to an increased risk of a number of health problems including high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and obesity.
But a new study, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, has also linked drinking problems to a range of heart conditions.
Experts analysed data from almost 15 million patients in California - 1.8% (or 268,000) had been diagnosed with alcohol abuse.
The researchers found that alcohol abuse was associated with a two-fold increased risk of irregular heartbeat, a 1.4-fold increased risk of heart attack and a 2.3-fold increased risk of heart failure.
The study did not quantify how much patients drank - just that they had alcohol abuse listed in their medical records.
"We found that even if you have no underlying risk factors, abuse of alcohol still increases the risk of these heart conditions," said lead researcher Dr Gregory Marcus, from the University of California in San Francisco.
"We were somewhat surprised to find those diagnosed with some form of alcohol abuse were at significantly higher risk of a heart attack.
"We hope this data will temper the enthusiasm for drinking in excess and will avoid any justification for excessive drinking because people think it will be good for their heart. These data pretty clearly prove the opposite."
In an accompanying editorial, Dr Michael Criqui, also from the University of California, said that previous studies that have found a benefit from alcohol consumption in protecting against heart attack and congestive heart failure were cohort studies which tend to recruit stable, co-operative and health-conscious participants..
"Cohort studies have minimal participation by true alcohol abusers, so the current study likely presents a more valid picture of heavy drinking outcomes," he wrote.

Question: Zeck's putback gives Gardner-Webb 63-61 victory

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. (AP) — Patrick Zeck's putback with 11.4 seconds left lifted Gardner-Webb to a 63-61 win over Charleston Southern on Saturday.
David Efianayi missed a short jumper but Zeck was there for the follow from the center of the paint.
Charleston Southern's Christian Keeling hit a 3-pointer with 48 seconds left then Cortez Mitchell made a steal under the Buccaneers basket and laid the ball in for a 61-all tie after trailing by 14 in the second half.
Jaheam Cornwall came off the bench to make three 3-pointers and score 14 points, 11 in the first half when the Bulldogs took a 39-29 lead. Liam O'Reilly also scored 14 points while Efianayi added 13 and Zack and DJ Laster 10 each as Gardner-Webb (12-3, 7-5 Big South) went to 10-0 at home.
Keeling scored 15 points, his 31st straight game in double figures, and Ty Jones 10 for Charleston Southern (9-14, 4-8).

Question: Colorado K-9 unlatches gate with paw to rescue injured deputy

ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. — A Colorado police dog unlatched a gate with his paw to help a deputy injured in a confrontation with a suspect he was trying to apprehend, the Adams County Sheriff’s Office said.
A deputy responded to a call of a trespass in progress around 1 a.m. on Saturday in Shaw Heights.
While he was investigating, the male he was speaking with ran.
The deputy jumped a fence in pursuit of the suspect and he was separated from his canine partner.
“As the suspect fought with the deputy, K-9 Lex unlatched the gate with his paw. Then Lex came to the assistance of the deputy and the suspect was apprehended,” a statement from the sheriff’s office said.
The deputy was treated at a hospital and was at home recovering Thursday night.
“Our deputies view canine Lex as a hero for saving the day. We appreciate everyone in the K-9 Unit and their hard work to keep us safe,” Adams County Undersheriff Harold Lawson said.
Lex is a 3-year-old Belgian malinois who has served with the sheriff’s office since February 2015.
He is certified in narcotics and police patrol through the Colorado Police Canine Association and National Police Canine Association, the sheriff’s office said.

The three people escaped the house and left the dog in the backyard.

Question: 5 Things: March Madness Off To Wild Start

By Matt Citak
Considering how crazy the regular season was this year, it should come as no surprise that the first two rounds of the 2018 NCAA Tournament have been absolute chaos. Favorites have fallen, history has been made, and, oh yeah, we still have four more rounds to go.
Buckle up, ladies and gentlemen. With the way March Madness is going, we should be in for a wild finish.
UMBC becomes first 16 seed to win, beats UVA by 20
On Friday, the University of Maryland, Baltimore County made history. The UMBC Retrievers accomplished something that 135 previous 16 seeds in the 64-team era of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament were unable to do — pull off a first round upset.
The University of Virginia entered the tournament as the No. 1 overall seed. Yet despite being the overwhelming favorite in this “David vs. Goliath” showdown, the Cavaliers failed to show up to their first-round matchup, falling to the Retrievers by whopping 20 points.
UMBC’s cinderella run came to an end on Sunday, when No. 9 seed Kansas State pulled off the late victory over, 50-43. The Retrievers’ magical run may have ended quickly, but the darlings out of the American East did more than enough to solidify their place in NCAA history.
UVA far from the only favorite taken down
While Virginia suffered the biggest upset, the Cavaliers weren’t the only favorites taken down during the tournament’s opening weekend. The madness began on Thursday, when No. 13 seed Buffalo opened their tournament play with a 21-point beatdown of Arizona, sending the NBA’s likely No. 1 pick DeAndre Ayton home early. The craziness continued a few hours later, when Donte Ingram of No. 11 seed Loyola-Chicago hit a long three-pointer right before the final buzzer to beat No. 6 seed Miami and send his team into the Round of 32.
The upsets continued on Friday, when No. 11 seed Syracuse, the last team to make the tournament, defeated No. 6 seed TCU, while No. 13 seed Marshall took down No. 4 seed Wichita State. While the opening round produced some very surprising results, it was nothing compared to what we saw in the Round of 32.
Loyola-Chicago was the first big underdog to punch its ticket to the Sweet 16, when they defeated No. 3 seed Tennessee on Saturday, thanks to a Clayton Custer jumper with just 3.6 seconds remaining. The Ramblers were joined by the Syracuse Orange as the only double-digit seeds in the Sweet 16, after the Orange pulled off the first major upset of Sunday’s games, beating No. 3 seed Michigan State, 55-53.
But the madness did not stop there. No. 7 seed Texas A&M destroyed No. 2 seed UNC by 21 points, No. 9 seed Florida State took down No. 1 seed Xavier 75-70, and No. 7 seed Nevada overcame a 22-point second-half deficit to defeat No. 2 seed Cincinnati, 75-73.
Unlike other No. 1 seeds, Villanova playing like top team
Virginia and Xavier are out, while Kansas snuck by No. 8 seed Seton Hall, winning by just four points on Saturday. But unlike the rest of the pack, Villanova is playing up to its No. 1 seed.
The Wildcats began their tournament play with an easy 26-point victory over Radford. Jay Wright’s squad faced a pesky Alabama team in the Round of 32, and at halftime, it appeared as if the No. 9 seed had a chance to upset Villanova. But a 22-point second half from junior guard Mikal Bridges put those thoughts to rest, as the Wildcats pulled away to win by 23.
With one of the country’s most efficient offenses, it was not surprising to see Villanova score at ease against Radford and Alabama. But the Wildcats’ defense has also looked great in the first two rounds, and that should worry the other 15 remaining schools. Going up against a very talented West Virginia team in the Sweet 16, Villanova will face its toughest matchup yet on Friday.
South Region without top-4 seed in Sweet 16 for first time ever
The best way to understand just how crazy this year’s NCAA Tournament has been so far is to look at the bracket’s South Region. For the first time in NCAA history, no top-four seed in the South Region has made it to the second weekend, as No. 1 seed Virginia, No. 2 Cincinnati, No. 3 seed Tennessee, and No. 4 seed Arizona all found themselves on the wrong side of an upset.
The four teams to make it to the Sweet 16 out of the South are likely not the schools you may have expected. No. 5 seed Kentucky is the highest seed remaining, followed by No. 7 seed Nevada, No. 9 seed Kansas State, and No. 11 seed Loyola-Chicago.
John Calipari, who helped lead Kentucky on a late-season winning streak to take home the SEC Tournament championship, has to like his team’s chances moving forward. The only obstacles between the Wildcats and yet another Final Four appearance are Thursday’s matchup against Kansas State and, if they emerge victorious from that, an Elite Eight contest against the winner of Nevada-Loyola-Chicago. As we have seen many times before, the key to winning is getting hot at the right time. And few teams are playing better than the Wildcats right now.
Duke is ACC’s last best hope for a title
The Atlantic Coast Conference entered the Round of 64 with several legitimate contenders to emerge as national champions. But following four days of pure chaos, the ACC is left with just one good chance at a national championship — the Duke Blue Devils.
The Blue Devils have absolutely dominated their first two games, beating Iona by 22 before dismantling Rhode Island by 25. They are averaging 88 points in their first two games, while holding both of their opponents to under one point per possession.
The ACC has four of the 16 teams left, but Duke provides the conference with their best hope for a title. The Blue Devils take on Syracuse on Friday, guaranteeing at least one ACC team in the Elite 8. Florida State has a tough matchup against No. 4 seed Gonzaga on Thursday, while Clemson will have to battle it out against No. 1 seed Kansas on Friday.
Duke has the best chance to win it all of the remaining ACC teams. But if this tournament has taught us anything, it’s that any team is capable of pulling out a W, no matter how big of an upset it seems.

Question: Case over LGBT talk in schools settled after Utah law change

LGBT-rights groups are settling a lawsuit after Utah repealed a law restricting talk about homosexuality in classrooms.
National Center for Lesbian Rights attorney Christopher Stoll said Friday they're thankful lawmakers ended the rules banning "advocacy of homosexuality" that created a culture of silence for LGBT students.
He says the Utah case sets the stage for challenging similar laws in states like Arizona, Alabama and Texas.
The Utah Attorney General's Office declined immediate comment.
The 2001 law was originally aimed at sex-education, but had also been cited when a book about lesbian mothers was pulled from a school-library shelf.
The plaintiffs also said it blocked teachers from protecting a 7-year-old boy from bullies because they couldn't say it was OK to be gay. Those claims were resolved in the settlement.

The animals ranged from puppies, to adult and older dogs.\n“The dogs were seized because of lack of shelter, poor sanitation and inadequate veterinary care, but the biggest issue once they were in our care was that they were terrified of human contact,” said Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement officer for the BC SPCA.\nRead more: BC SPCA seizes 46 dogs near Williams Lake\nThe animals included American Eskimo, border collie, husky and Samoyed breeds, some of whom were pregnant when they were seized.\n“One of the complications was that several of the dogs were pregnant and gave birth shortly after coming into SPCA care, but were too frightened to let staff near them or their puppies.

Question: If you get bumped off a flight, make it worthwhile

DALLAS (AP) — Allison Preiss became a hero to airline passengers this spring when she scored a $10,000 travel voucher for losing her seat on an oversold flight.
Negotiating skill mixed with a bit of luck helped Preiss land the elusive payoff.
With the peak summer travel season right around the corner, other passengers can learn from Preiss's example if they wind up on an overcrowded flight.
There are two situations that passengers might find themselves in, and their rights — and bargaining power — vary greatly between them.
Advertisement
In the first, an airline forces a passenger off a flight for lack of space — called bumping. Under federal rules, the passenger is entitled to cash compensation, not just a voucher, and a seat on a later flight. Bumped passengers whose travel is delayed for at least an hour are entitled to up to $1,350 in compensation, with the amount based on the length of the delay and the one-way price of the ticket.
"The vast majority of Americans take one airline trip a year, and since vouchers are usually valid for just one year, most people should ask for cash," said George Hobica, a travel expert who founded the airfarewatchdog.com website. But, he added, frequent fliers might want to negotiate to see how high the airline will go with a voucher.
That's what Preiss did back in March. Thanks to a broken seat, United bumped her from a flight from Dulles Airport outside Washington to Austin, Texas. But Preiss had leverage because United couldn't find anyone willing to give up their seat. She calculated that she was entitled to about $650 in cash based on the price of her ticket, and she turned down a $2,000 voucher. Then a second United employee said she could offer a voucher up to $10,000 plus a seat on a later flight, and Preiss took it.
The second situation occurs when the airline hasn't yet kicked anyone off an overbooked flight but instead looks for people to take a later flight in exchange for compensation — usually a voucher; the airline is not legally required to pay cash to volunteers.
When airlines know a flight is overbooked, they will make lowball offers to customers at ticket counters, kiosks and gate areas. They will raise the amount of the vouchers until they find a taker, pitting passengers against each other in a kind of reverse auction.
"My advice would be to start high," said Brian Kelly, CEO of travel website The Points Guy. "If you're going to be displaced for several hours, don't take the quick and easy $200 (voucher)."
Kelly said a $400 voucher for getting off a domestic flight or $800 for an international one would be "a solid starting point."
Travel experts suspect that airlines prefer vouchers partly because a high percentage of them never get used. The airlines do not disclose redemption rates.
Airlines have gotten very good at buying off passengers on overbooked flights. Last year, about 23,000 passengers were forcibly bumped — the lowest rate since the federal government started keeping track in 1995 — while nearly 342,000 people took an airline's offer and gave up their seat.
You might wonder how airlines ever come up short on seats.
Airlines can legally oversell flights — although some, like JetBlue, say they don't — on the assumption that some people won't show up. Overbooking can also occur when bad weather or a mechanical breakdown causes flights to be canceled, forcing the airline to scramble to accommodate stranded passengers.
Sometimes airlines switch a flight to a smaller plane with fewer seats. Occasionally, they need to make room for an air marshal or employees. And airlines may cancel flights or limit seating on smaller planes in hot weather because the thinner air makes it harder to generate enough lift for takeoff.
If you take a voucher for getting off a flight, there are some rules you should know. For instance, most airlines won't replace lost vouchers, and they can't be sold, although Delta allows them to be transferred to someone flying on the same reservation as the person who got the voucher.
On Southwest, vouchers can only be applied to airfare while American also lets them cover taxes and fees and Delta vouchers can be applied to government taxes. But you can't use vouchers to purchase extra legroom or an in-flight meal.
If your airline looks for volunteers to get off an overcrowded flight, experts offer this advice before accepting a voucher:
— Insist on a confirmed seat, not standby, on the next available flight in addition to the voucher for future travel.
— If you will be stuck for an extended time, ask for meal or hotel vouchers too.
— Ask when the travel voucher expires — typically they are good for one year — and whether it can be combined with other discounts.
— Find out if the voucher can be used on other airlines; American and Delta vouchers can be used on some partner airlines, United and Southwest certificates cannot.
Kelly, the travel-points expert, advises that no matter what, "don't get stressed."
"Look at it as an opportunity for a nice little payday."

Behind the First Class curtain it's another world - and one few of us can afford without saving for many, many years.
It's no wonder there's a raft of advice on how to achieve aviation nirvana and get a free upgrade telling us to arrive either really early or really late, sit near a baby, or check-in with a broken limb.
All of these, however, come with massive drawbacks. There is in fact a much simpler and little-known rule which could guarantee an upgrade.

Rick Brown, author of the book 'Kiss My Baggage Fees! How To Be A Savvy Travel Hacker', knows his stuff, according to the Daily Mirror.
His tip is if your seat is in some way faulty or broken (this includes the seatbelt), then you're allowed to ask for a new one.
He told news.com.au : "If your seat is broken, you can request a new seat.
"If one is not available in economy, they have to put you in first."
Of course, this tip isn't without its flaws.
First, your seat has to have something wrong with it. Secondly, there may be a seat available in economy.
However, The Points Guy has confirmed this is a legitimate rule.
He told Life Hacker : "I've been on several packed flights where passengers had broken coach seats and were reassigned to business or first since they were the only seats left.
"This is luck of the draw, though."

WARSAW, Poland — Pope Francis’ decision to move the World War II-era head of Poland’s Catholic Church a step closer to possible sainthood has hit a stumbling block, after two leading Jewish organizations and even Polish Catholic publications called him out for anti-Semitic views.
It’s not clear if the protests will derail the sainthood cause of Cardinal August Hlond, but in the past the Vatican has taken such protests seriously and at the very least put the cases up for closer review.
In May, Francis approved a decree recognizing Hlond’s “heroic virtues.” Now the Vatican must confirm a miracle attributed to Hlond’s intercession for him to be beatified, and a second one for him to be made a saint.
Hlond, born July 5, 1881, was the highest-ranking church official in Poland from 1926 to his death in 1948. He is highly respected in this overwhelmingly Catholic country for having rejected Nazi Germany’s proposals for a collaborative government, and for protecting the church’s independence during the first years of communism.
In its protest, the American Jewish Committee pointed to a passage in a 1936 pastoral letter by Hlond, who was Poland’s primate then, that showed his attitude toward Jews and echoed the general line of the Catholic Church of the time.
The group also criticized Hlond’s failure to condemn the killings of at least 40 Jews in Poland in 1946 by a mob and secret security. It argued that moving forward with the canonization process will be seen as an “expression of approval of Cardinal Hlond’s extremely negative approach toward the Jewish community.”
“It’s very difficult to see how you can still claim that the man was a paragon (of saintliness) when the data is so explicit,” AJC’s director of interreligious affairs, Rabbi David Rosen, told The Associated Press.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Nazi-hunting body, said making Hlond a saint would “further embolden” Poland’s right-wing government in its “headlong efforts to selectively rewrite Polish activities from that tragic era.”
The disputed passage in Hlond’s letter reads: “It is a fact that the Jews are fighting against the Catholic Church, persisting in free thinking, and are the vanguard of godlessness, Bolshevism and subversion.”
It has frequently been cited as evidence of the Catholic Church’s institutional anti-Semitism prior to the modernizing reforms of the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s.
But Hlond also wrote that there are many “ethically outstanding, noble and respectable” Jews, and that all Jews should be “respected and loved as persons and as neighbors.”
In what appeared to be a condemnation of German Nazi laws, the letter warned against “imported from abroad” anti-Semitism that’s “incompatible with Catholic ethics.”
“It is not allowed to attack Jews, beat them, injure them or slander them,” Hlond said in the letter, which priests read out in churches at Lent in 1936.
He said it was “good” to support Polish businesses and avoid Jewish ones, but it was “forbidden” to “ravage Jewish shops, destroy the goods of the Jews, break windows, throw firecrackers at their homes.”
Rosen, who has decades of experience in Catholic-Jewish relations, said the process of making Hlond a saint should be halted.
But the Polish priest promoting Hlond’s case before the Vatican’s Congregations for the Causes of Saints said the criticism is “unfounded” because Hlond’s words had been taken out of context. Mgr. Boguslaw Koziol has discussed all the documents with Vatican experts, and insists Hlond preached love regardless of nation or religion.
Koziol believes that the whole passage — titled “From our Sins” — was progressive for its time and aimed to protect Jews from violence. But he admits it also included questionable ideas.
Hlond’s critics “have focused on this negative part of the letter, but are not quoting any other part,” he told the AP.
Catholic weekly Tygodnik Powszechny argued that the letter failed to protect Jews from the attacks of Polish nationalists.
It said Hlond didn’t “suggest any way out of the ‘Jewish problem,’ or any good plan for a dignified and peaceful coexistence in one country. One could protest: these were not yet the times of dialogue. But one may also reply: shouldn’t we expect candidates for sainthood to be larger than the routine thinking of their times?”
Referring to the July 4, 1946 pogrom in the town of Kielce — where a mob and secret security forces killed at least 40 Jews and two Poles who were defending them — Rosen said that Hlond “did not condemn the pogrom nor urge Poles to stop murdering Jews. Rather, he pointed out that the Jews were all communists or supporters of communism and that the pogrom was their own fault.”
Koziol, however, blames Poland’s post-war communist rule for Hlond’s reticence. Any direct condemnation would have meant a confrontation with the regime and repercussions for the church.
In 2005, the Vatican shelved the planned beatification of French priest the Rev. Leon Dehon and launched an inquiry after complaints about his anti-Semitic views.

Question: Mid-Shore Commerce: Looking Forward with Shore Bancshares Chair Frank Mason

by
Last month, the Spy spent some quality time with Chris Spurry, the outgoing chairman of the board of Shore Bancshares, Inc., to talk about his extraordinary tenure during a time of significant financial upheaval on the Eastern Shore as the full impact of the Great Recession was dramatically felt throughout the Delmarva.
It was a story of corporate nimbleness and perseverance as Chris and his colleagues navigated through very troubled waters over several years to finally find themselves, and their grateful customers, once again on fiduciary terra firma as signs of a real recovery started to be seen by late 2015.
At the conclusion of that interview, Chris noted that while he will remain on the board, he would be succeeded in the chair position by fellow board member and Mid-Shore native, Frank Mason, to steer the publicly traded corporation into a new era.
The Spy thought it would complete the story of Shore Bancshares to catch up with Frank as well to talk about this new, exciting, and radically different world in finance.
An Easton native who has taken a unique journey himself, Frank Mason has been part of one of the Mid-Shore’s most specialized manufacturers in the region for his entire career. Now president of Jasco Inc. based in Talbot County, which produces spectroscopy and chromatography analytical instruments, Frank also has strong family ties with Shore Bancshares where his great-grandfather had also served on the board of Talbot Bank, the precursor to Shore United Bank.
In his interview with the Spy, Frank talks about Shore Bancshares future and what he sees as an extraordinary new era for financial services in the 21st century.

Question: NZ's Fisher & Paykel sues Resmed in Australia over patent dispute

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

(Reuters) - New Zealand’s Fisher & Paykel Healthcare filed a lawsuit in Australia on Tuesday against Resmed Inc alleging the medical device manufacturer’s respiratory treatment products violate four Fisher & Paykel patents.
Fisher & Paykel said it was seeking a range of legal remedies from the lawsuit, including banning the manufacture and sale of such Resmed products in Australia.
The company added its earnings forecast for fiscal 2018 remained unchanged.
Fisher & Paykel and California-based Resmed are engaged in patent disputes in several countries over medical devices used to treat respiratory conditions.
Fisher & Paykel had filed a case against Resmed in Britain in 2016 and said last month it could continue to sell its sleep apnea masks in the country after a UK court ruled Resmed’s patent was invalid.
Resmed was not immediately available for a comment.
Fisher & Paykel shares were about 1 percent lower after the announcement, in a lower overall market in New Zealand. Resmed’s Australia shares were down about 1 percent while the larger Australian market traded flat.

Question: Man stabs his wife outside Lauderhill Babies 'R' Us, police say

LAUDERHILL, Fla. - A man attacked his wife with a box cutter Tuesday outside a Lauderhill Babies "R" Us store, authorities said.
Witnesses told Lauderhill police that George Hernandez and his wife, Lillian Manante, were arguing about "voodoo" inside their parked car when Hernandez began stabbing Manante with a box cutter around 3 p.m. in the 7300 block of West Commercial Boulevard.
Manante jumped out of the car, but Hernandez continued to attack her until a bystander intervened, police said.
Police arrested Hernandez at the scene. Both Hernandez and Manante were covered in blood when officers arrived, police said.
“The witnesses did put themselves in harms way, this man was yielding a box cutter, at any given time he could have turned on them, we thank them for their heroics but they did put themselves at severe risk,” said Lt. Michael Santiago, a spokesman for the Lauderhill Police Department.
Police described Manante's injuries as not life-threatening, but she was taken to Broward Health North in Pompano Beach for treatment.

Question: Real cause of Janet's split?

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

When things aren’t going well in your marriage, don’t have a baby. This advice, which seems obvious to most of us, apparently bears repeating. Even though Janet Jackson’s relationship with billionaire Qatari businessman Wissam Al Mana was already on the rocks, she thought it was time to get knocked up.
According to The Post’s Stacy Brown she thought a baby would help their relationship, which was strained over her husband’s demands that Jackson dress more modestly and do a little less bumping and grinding on stage. Now, only three months after the baby’s birth, the couple has split.
BEING SINGLE ACTUALLY HAS SOME REAL HEALTH BENEFITS
It’s perfectly possible that Jackson knew that her biological clock was ticking and didn’t really care if Al Mana was going to be around for the long haul, but many couples do think that having a baby is the answer to marital problems. It is easy to see the temptation. Beyond the initial efforts of getting pregnant in the first place, ahem, women and many men enjoy the anticipation of a baby’s arrival. Talking about baby names, reminiscing about the arrival of older children, breaking the news to family, baby showers, “nesting” — these often bring joy to both partners.
Men also tend to become more protective of their pregnant wives and future children, bringing an aura of closeness to a relationship.
But then the moment arrives. And according to a 2009 study by Brian Doss of the University of Miami, babies put a big strain on marriages. Tracking the relationships of 218 couples over eight years, Doss and his colleagues found that the birth of the first baby was followed by more problems in communication, decreases in couples’ confidence that their relationship would last, and declines in their overall satisfaction with the marriage.
6 MYTHS ABOUT DATING OVER AGE 50, DEBUNKED
Which is really not surprising, folks. Having a baby is kind of an all-hands-on-deck experience. If you are not happy with the crew of your boat when the waters are calm, things aren’t going to get better when the boat starts sinking.
Even fairly happy marriages experience problems when babies come along. In her new book “How Not to Hate Your Husband After Kids,” Jancee Dunn describes her “dreamy” life before children. She and her husband, “would walk up and down the street and talk about names.”
“That was so much fun,” she told the Washington Post. “But we didn’t have the most basic conversations about who, after I went back to work, will take care of the baby when she gets sick. We hadn’t talked about: Is religion going to play a role, what roles are the grandparents going to have, what will we do on weekends, who will do what chores around the house?”
8 SIGNS YOU MIGHT BE DATING A NARCISSIST
Once the first child arrives, things become much more stressful. The pattern is easy to see among celebrities. Blac Chyna and Robert Kardashian Jr. had a baby together in November and then broke up in December. Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick made it six months after the birth of a child before breaking up. Gwen Stefani had a baby with Gavin Rossdale in February 2014. They had filed for divorce by the summer of 2015. Drew Barrymore and Will Kopelman lasted two years after the birth of their daughter before announcing their split.
Maybe these couples were having babies in order to save their relationships, or perhaps a baby destroyed what was otherwise a perfectly stable marriage. A 2015 study found that the loss of personal happiness experienced by mothers and fathers in the first two years after a child was born was greater than the loss that came from divorce, the loss of a job or — amazingly — the death of a partner.
There are obvious reasons for this. The amount of sleep we get is deeply related to our happiness and there is little that compares with the sleep deprivation that comes from having an infant. But there are other factors as well. Brian Doss notes that “couples do tend to become more traditional in their division of labor (especially around child care) after the birth of the first baby.” And if one partner or the other is not happy with that arrangement it could lead to more tension in the marriage. Janet Jackson’s husband, it seems, wanted her to cut back on her touring and take a less public position even before the baby arrived. After the baby came, Al Mana insisted the family live according to strict Muslim custom, which prevents a new mom from even being seen in public while nursing the baby, according to The Post’s Brown.

It used to be, of course, that having a baby together almost guaranteed a couple would stay together. (It still doesn’t look right for a man to leave a woman while she’s pregnant.) Indeed, many marriages were made just for the purposes of ensuring a child was legitimate. But while having a baby today might seem like a good way to keep things going, it’s not a good plan in the long run.
As Scott Stanley, a marriage researcher at the University of Denver, notes, “A baby bump is no longer an automatic staying bump.”

There is only one qualification for working in Trump’s White House: Trump must like you. That’s it. The president of the United States doesn’t care if you are the lawn care guy or a housewife (we see you, Betsy DeVos), if he likes you then that’s all the requirements he needs to put you in charge of a multimillion dollar agency.
Trump liked Jeff Sessions, until he recused himself from the Russia investigation, and his only qualifications prior to becoming Attorney General was managing a staff of 100 working elves who made delicious cookies in a tree.

So it makes perfect sense in a Trumpian world that a white doctor with a really black sounding name with no experience leading a major department would be his pick to lead the Veterans Affairs Department and now that pick, like most of Trump’s other picks, is looking like a bad choice.
According to the New York Times, Dr. Ronny L. Jackson, the White House physician, who rose to national levels after he gave Trump a glowing health assessment, is being heavily scrutinized by the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee that he oversaw a hostile work environment inside the White House, allowed the overprescribing of drugs, and reportedly drank on the job.

“The Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs is postponing the hearing to consider the nominee to be secretary of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in light of new information presented to the committee,” said Senators Johnny Isakson of Georgia, the committee chairman, and Jon Tester of Montana, its ranking Democrat, said in a joint statement viewed by the Times.
“We take very seriously our constitutional duty to thoroughly and carefully vet each nominee sent to the Senate for confirmation,” they added. “We will continue looking into these serious allegations and have requested additional information from the White House to enable the committee to conduct a full review.”
Jackson was supposed to face a confirmation hearing on Wednesday but that ain’t happening now. The Times reports that sources explained that the allegations against Jackson aren’t isolated incidences, but instead suggest a pattern of behavior that isn’t conducive to running a department.

“I have very serious questions that need to be addressed, and they should be addressed right now, like today,” Senator Richard Blumenthal, Democrat of Connecticut and a member of the committee told the Times.
Dr. Jackson, served as a rear admiral in the Navy and was expected to face an uphill battle during his confirmation hearing, as Dr. Jackson isn’t even remotely qualified for the position. The Times notes that Trump fired the former Veterans Affairs secretary, David J. Shulkin, an experienced hospital administrator and veteran of the V.A. medical system for reportedly taking his wife sightseeing in Europe during a $122,000 business trip. Shulkin claims that he was standing in the way of Trump’s attempts to privatize the VA. Point is, it’s messy. Shulkin should’ve been fired in a normal administration, but the Trump administration where EPA head Scott Pruitt is out here flossing like 2012 Trinidad James in his grossly under appreciated negro anthem, “All Gold Everything”.
So what have we learned today? Well, we’ve learned that the Trump administration vetting process consists of nothing more than a third grade vetting process for best friend status. We’ve learned that Dr. Ronny L. Jackson is a white doctor with a black sounding name who the president likes and as such picked to run the VA. We’ve also learned that Dr. Ronny L. Jackson, on name alone, has the qualifications to take over Dr. Dre’s position in the World Class Wreckin’ Cru.
‘Cause I’m the world class doctor The master of seduction I can heal all your ills And give you extreme delight But only if you allow me Dr. Ronny L. Jackson To turn off the lights
In short, we’ve learned what we always known, that this administration is being lead by a megalomaniac who is willing to trade positions in the White House to people who say he looks good. Basically, the president is an IG model giving out jobs while posting scantily clad photos on the Gram for likes.

Question: After NYC subway bombing, Trump slams 'chain migration'

represent this text to find a news title for it

NEW YORK (AP) — A would-be suicide bomber's rush-hour blast in the heart of the New York City subway system failed to cause the bloodshed he intended, authorities said, but it gave new fuel to President Donald Trump's push to limit immigration.
Hours after Monday's explosion in an underground passageway connecting two of Manhattan's busiest stations, Trump cited the background of the alleged bomber in renewing his call for closer scrutiny of foreigners who come to the country and less immigration based on family ties.
The man arrested in the bombing, Akayed Ullah — who told investigators he wanted to retaliate for American action against Islamic State extremists — came to the U.S. from Bangladesh in 2011 on a visa available to certain relatives of U.S. citizens.
"Today's terror suspect entered our country through extended-family chain migration, which is incompatible with national security," Trump said in a statement that called for various changes to the immigration system. Earlier, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Trump's proposed policies "could have prevented this."
In a scenario New York had dreaded for years, Ullah strapped on a crude pipe bomb with Velcro and plastic ties, slipped unnoticed into the nation's busiest subway system and set off the device, authorities said.
The device didn't work as intended; authorities said Ullah, 27, was the only person seriously wounded. But the attack sent frightened commuters fleeing through a smoky passageway, and three people suffered headaches and ringing ears from the first bomb blast in the subway in more than two decades.
"This is one of my nightmares ... a terrorist attack in the subway system," Gov. Andrew Cuomo told cable channel NY1. "The good news is: We were on top of it."
Ullah was being treated for burns to his hands and abdomen but spoke to investigators from his hospital bed, law enforcement officials said. He was "all over the place" about his motive but indicated he wanted to avenge what he portrayed as U.S. aggression against the Islamic State group, a law enforcement official said.
The officials spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the blast.
Ullah's low-tech bomb used explosive powder, a nine-volt battery, a Christmas light and matches, the officials said. Investigators said the suspect was seen on surveillance footage igniting the bomb.
In the end, it wasn't powerful enough to turn the pipe into deadly shrapnel, the officials said.
Law enforcement officials said Ullah looked at IS propaganda online but is not known to have any direct contact with the militants and probably acted alone. Cuomo said there was no evidence, so far, of other bombs or a larger plot. The Democrat said officials were exploring whether Ullah had been on authorities' radar, but there was no indication yet that he was.
The attack came less than two months after eight people died near the World Trade Center in a truck attack that, authorities said, was carried out by an Uzbek immigrant who admired the Islamic State group.
Since 1965, America's immigration policy has centered on giving preference to people with advanced education or skills, or people with family ties to U.S. citizens and, in some cases, legal permanent residents. Citizens have been able to apply for spouses, parents, children, siblings and the siblings' spouses and minor children; the would-be immigrants are then screened by U.S. officials to determine whether they can come.
Trump's administration has called for a "merit-based" immigration system that would limit family-based green cards to spouses and minor children.
Ullah lived with his father, mother and brother in a Brooklyn neighborhood with a large Bangladeshi community, residents said. He was licensed to drive a livery cab between 2012 and 2015, but the license was allowed to lapse, according to law enforcement officials and New York City's Taxi and Limousine Commission.
His family was "deeply saddened" by the attack but also "outraged by the way we have been targeted by law enforcement," the family said in a statement sent by the New York Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. A teenage relative was pulled out of class and questioned in school without a parent, guardian or lawyer, the statement said.
Security cameras captured the attacker walking casually through a crowded passageway when the bomb went off around 7:20 a.m. A plume of white smoke cleared to show the man sprawled on the ground and commuters scattering.
Port Authority police said officers found the man injured on the ground, with wires protruding from his jacket and the device strapped to his torso. They said he was reaching for a cellphone and they grabbed his hands.
The last bomb blast in the subway system was believed to be in December 1994, when an explosive made from mayonnaise jars and batteries wounded 48 people in a car in lower Manhattan. Prosecutors said unemployed computer programmer Edward Leary set off the explosion to try to extort $2 million from the city's transit agency; he claimed insanity. He was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to 94 years in prison.

Question: Heroes without capes: Portugal's firefighters work for free

Almost all of the 2,000 Portuguese firefighters at a weeklong wildfire that killed 64 people this summer had something in common apart from the acute danger they faced: they were doing it for no pay and with equipment bought with public donations.
More than 90 percent of Portugal's around 30,000 firefighters are volunteers. From lawyers to construction workers, they take time off work to risk their lives. What's more, the volunteer fire departments where they work rely on donations and income from working at private events to pay for their equipment.
When they are deployed to a wildfire outside their area of residence during the summer fire season, the government pays these intrepid men and women 1.87 euros ($2) an hour. And the volunteer firefighters usually hand over that meager stipend to their financially stretched fire departments.
Hugo Simoes, a 33-year-old Lisbon bombeiro (firefighter) who was deployed in June to the country's deadliest wildfire on record, says a sense of duty and brotherhood drives the volunteers. "We do it out of community spirit," he says.
Volunteers are not uncommon in fire brigades in Europe and further afield — more than 97 percent of German firefighters are volunteers; in the U.S. that figure is around 70 percent. But in Portugal these unfunded services are the front line in emergencies, providing the backbone of the Civil Protection Agency's resources. There are just seven professional fire departments in the country.
Simoes works for Portugal's oldest fire department, the Bombeiros Voluntarios de Lisboa, created in 1868 by royal decree. For him, the volunteer spirit shown by generations of firefighters is unremarkable. It's a cultural tradition.
"Here in Portugal it's been like this for a long time," he shrugs. "We like what we do. On hot days when we could go to the beach, we come here to the fire department instead, to help out."
Simoes nowadays works full-time as an administrative clerk at the fire department, earning around 600 euros a month.
When the alarms rang in June to go and help at a massive blaze in woodland around Pedrogao Grande, about 150 kilometers (90 miles) north of Lisbon, Simoes set off with four vehicles and their crews.
"Some walked out of work and risked being marked as absent," Simoes says. Across the country, other volunteer firefighters did the same.
Scorching weather, as well as strong winds and woodland that was bone dry after months with little rain, fueled the Pedrogao Grande blaze, just as it has other forest fires this summer. The fire spread so quickly that 47 people died on a road as they fled the advancing flames in their cars.
"The stress, the adrenaline, the heat — they demand a huge effort," Simoes said. "At times it can get a bit hairy, but our training kicks in."
Similar scenes play out each summer in Portugal: giant flames dwarf the firefighters, huge clouds of smoke stretch to the horizon, locals help out with buckets and garden hoses and swat at the flames with broken-off tree branches. Wildfires race through eucalyptus and pine forests that are uncleared and tightly packed.
This year has been particularly bad, due to a severe drought gripping 80 percent of the country. Wildfires in Portugal accounted for more than one-third of the burnt forest in the entire 28-nation European Union up to Aug. 5.
Last week, Simoes and his team were dispatched to a major forest fire in Abrantes, not far from Pedrogao Grande. Firefighters brought the blaze under control within 48 hours.
The volunteer firefighters are commonly depicted as heroes in Portugal. A recent fund-raising campaign described them as "heroes without capes." Calls for food and water to help the firefighters inevitably bring a nationwide deluge of donations.
About 80 people are on call at the Bombeiros Voluntarios de Lisboa. They receive more than 300 hours of training, which is also done outside their day job.
Simoes says the department has always had enough staff, though it is stretched in emergencies.
It scrapes by financially. Fire suits cost almost 2,000 euros each. The recent purchase of 100 new helmets cost 28,000 euros.
Portugal's volunteer fire departments often use vehicles bought second-hand. In Lisbon, that includes a fire truck purchased in Luxembourg. A new one costs more than 250,000 euros — way beyond their budget. Their dream, they confide, is to own a big American fire truck.

Cast members from the series 9-1-1 would like to send a message to the brave firefighters and first responders.

Question: Steelers wrap up AFC North title, set up showdown with Pats

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ben Roethlisberger’s record-setting day finished with a carry just as valuable as any of the franchise-record 66 passes he threw.
As the Pittsburgh Steelers poured onto the Heinz Field turf to celebrate a frantic 39-38 victory over Baltimore that wrapped up their third AFC North title in four years, Roethlisberger grabbed the familiar No. 50 jersey of injured linebacker Ryan Shazier and joined in the party.
An emotionally draining week for the Steelers ended with Shazier recovering from spinal surgery in a nearby hospital but still very much in the middle of things. Just like always.
“We love our brother,” Roethlisberger said. “We wanted to get this one for him, and I’m glad we did.”
Barely.
The Steelers (11-2) blew an early 14-point lead and found themselves trailing by 11 going into the fourth before exploding for 19 points over the final 15 minutes, the last three coming on Chris Boswell’s 46-yard field goal with 42 seconds left.
“I think championship teams find ways to win,” Roethlisberger said.
Having an offense that is starting to peak after a sleepy start certainly helps. Roethlisberger threw for 506 yards and two scores to become the first player in NFL history to go over 500 yards passing three times in his career. Antonio Brown caught 11 passes for 213 yards to fuel an MVP candidacy that no longer feels so far-fetched, including gains of 57 and 34 yards in the fourth to spark Pittsburgh’s comeback and running back Le’Veon Bell finished with 125 total yards and three scores.
“It’s an amazing feeling, especially for Ryan Shazier,” Brown said. “One of our brothers couldn’t be out here today. Obviously, he is watching.”
Shazier suffered his injury in the first quarter of a victory over Cincinnati last Monday. He underwent surgery on Wednesday and Roethlisberger visited him on Thursday.
“When you walk in and see him and see the smile and give him a huge, it really has taken that weight off and let us breathe a little easier,” Roethlisberger said.
The Steelers have done their best to let Shazier know is very much a part of their run. Linebacker James Harrison borrowed a page from Shazier’s pregame routine and warmed up shirtless even with the temperature hovering around freezing. Shazier’s helmet and jersey spent the game on the bench and several Steelers wore cleats with a special design featuring Shazier’s face and the popular #Shalieve hashtag.
“It was very emotional,” linebacker Arthur Moats said. “Any time you can bring something to him that brings him some type of joy, some type of happiness, that’s good. At the end of the day we’re just trying to make sure he’s good.”
RAVENS ROCKED
Baltimore (7-6) meanwhile, saw its surge back to contention blunted after its defense spent the fourth quarter fruitlessly chasing Brown from one side of the field to the other.
“This is going to sting for a while,” Ravens safety Eric Weddle said. “Especially the guys on defense because we care so much and we hold ourselves to a high standard.”
The Ravens certainly didn’t meet it after giving up 545 yards to the Steelers. Pittsburgh scored on its last four possessions. It’s not like the Steelers were taking advantage of a short field. All eight of their scoring drives went at least 50 yards, including two of 80 or more.
“I think in the fourth quarter the defense dropped the ball tonight,” linebacker Terrell Suggs said. “That’s kind of been our thing all year, consistency.”
SUPER SHOWDOWN
The win sets up the AFC game of the year next Sunday when Tom Brady and the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots visit. New England beat the Steelers twice last season, including a lopsided 36-17 blowout in the AFC title game.
“We’re going to give respect where respect is due now,” Pittsburgh center Maurkice Pouncey said. “But they’re not Superman. They lost this season, right?”
ALL-AROUND EFFORT
Brown, Bell and Roethlisberger hardly did it alone. Boswell has hit four game-winning field goals in the final minute in four of Pittsburgh’s past five games. Tight ends Jessie James and Vance McDonald combined for 14 receptions for 149 yards. Even fullback Roosevelt Nix got in on the act, scoring his first career touchdown on a 1-yard reception in which he basically pulled the ball off Baltimore safety Tony Jefferson’s chest as they tussled in the end zone.
“AB is gonna do what he do, I’m going to do what I do, Ben’s gonna do what he do,” Bell said. “But it’s the guys who don’t get the credit always that are the ones making the plays.”
UP NEXT
Baltimore: Needs to win out if it wants to reach the postseason. The good news? Their final three opponents are a combined 8-34, including the 0-13 Cleveland Browns, who the Ravens visit next Sunday.
Pittsburgh: The Steelers have beaten Brady at Heinz Field just once in his career, a victory in the 2011 regular season.
