Question: First ladies Trump, Macron tour National Gallery's Cezannes

WASHINGTON — Melania Trump and Brigitte Macron ditched the White House Tuesday for a visit with the works of Paul Cezanne.
The first ladies of the United States and France headed across town to the National Gallery of Art’s exhibit of about 60 portraits by the French post-impressionist painter. They paused near by a portrait of Cezanne’s father reading a newspaper in a chair. Mary Morton, the museum’s curator of French paintings, explained that the painter had a difficult relationship with his father, who was a banker and wanted the artist to become a lawyer. The painting is from the Mellon family collection.
The two first ladies, both in stilettos and Mrs. Trump in a wide-brimmed white hat, then strolled through the building’s Rotunda past a statue of Mercury.
At least in front of the cameras, Mrs. Macron did much of the chatting with the curators. Cezanne is one of France’s most celebrated artists. He is known for capturing a moment in time in his works and is regarded as a major influence on other painters, such as Pablo Picasso.
“Merci,” Mrs. Macron said, as she and Mrs. Trump rounded a fountain in an interior courtyard. Asked later whether she was enjoying her time in Washington, she nodded and said in English, “Thank you.”
It was the second day of French President Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron’s visit to Washington. Later Tuesday, the Trumps are hosting the couple at the administration’s first state dinner.

२१ असोज, काठमाडौं । प्रदेश २ को स्थानीय तहमा सम्मानजनक सिट जितेका मधेसका दुई पार्टी संघीय समाजवादी फोरम नेपाल र राष्ट्रिय जनता पार्टी (राजपा) नेपालले आसन्न प्रतिनिधिसभा र प्रदेशसभा निर्वाचनमा कांग्रेसकै हाराहारीमा सिट माग गर्ने रणनीति बनाएका छन् । फोरम नेपालका अध्यक्ष उपेन्द्र यादव र राजपा अध्यक्ष महन्थ ठाकुरबीच शुक्रबार यस्तो रणनीतिमा सहमति भएको हो ।
दुई नेताबीच शुक्रबार भएको छलफलले आसन्न केन्द्रीय संसद् र प्रदेशसभा निर्वाचनमा समझदारीमा साझा उम्मेदवार चयन गर्ने तथा अन्य राजनीतिक दलसँग तालमेल गर्नुपर्दा दुवै पार्टीको एकमत बनाई बागर्नेनिङ गर्ने रणनीति बनाएको छ । दुई नेताबीच शुक्रबार भएको लामो छलफलपछि राजपा अध्यक्ष ठाकुर तथा फोरम अध्यक्ष यादवले हस्ताक्षर गरी जारी गरेको विज्ञप्तिमा बहिष्करण तथा वञ्चितीकरणमा पारिएका समुदायको आर्थिक, राजनीतिक, सामाजिक, सांस्कृतिक तथा भाषिक अधिकारसहित समानता र राज्यको हरेक क्षेत्र, तह र अंगमा समानुपातिक, समावेशीकरण र साझेदारी तथा सामाजिक न्याय प्राप्तिका लागि यी समुदायमाथि शताब्दियौंदेखि कायम रहेका सबैखाले असमानता, विभेद, भेदभाव, एवं उपेक्षा, शोषण र उत्पीडिनलाई अन्त्य गर्न आफूहरूबीचको सहमति अपरिहार्य रहेको’ उल्लेख छ । आजको अन्नपूर्ण पोस्टमा खबर छ ।
मधेस स्वायत्त प्रदेश तथा आत्मनिर्णयको अधिकारका लागि लड्दै आएका यादव र ठाकुरबीचको सहमतिले प्रदेश २ मा स्थानीय तह निर्वाचनमा उनीहरूको उपस्थितिअनुसार सिटमा भागबन्डा लगाउन लोकतान्त्रिक गठबन्धन बाध्य हुनुपर्ने देखिएको मधेसी नेताको विश्लेषण छ । रूपान्तरित संसद्मा फोरम नेपालको २ निर्वाचित र १३ समानुपातिकसहित १५ सदस्य, राजपाका ५ निर्वाचित र २० समानुपातिक गरी २५ जना सांसद छन् ।
स्थानीय तहको तेस्रो चरण निर्वाचनमा फोरम नेपाल वीरगन्ज महानगरपालिकासहित २६, राजपा जनकपुर उपमहानगरपालिकासहित २५ र कांग्रेसले ४० स्थान जितेका थिए । स्थानीय तहमा प्राप्त गरेको दुई पार्टीको कुल संख्या ५१ पुग्छ । सत्ता नेतृत्वको कांग्रेस ४० सिटमा सीमित छ । स्थानीय तहको ताजा जनादेशअनुसार प्रदेश २ मा कांग्रेसभन्दा फोरम नेपाल र राजपाको गठजोड ११ तहमा बढी हुन आउँछ । ताजा जनादेशअनुसार नै आसन्न संसद् र प्रदेश सभामा स्थान पाउनुपर्ने रणनीति दुई पार्टीले बनाएका हुन् ।
एमाले, माओवादी केन्द्र र नयाँ शक्तिबीचको वाम चुनावी तालमेलबाट तर्सेको कांग्रेसका लागि राजपा तथा फोरम नेपालसहितको लोकतान्त्रिक गठबन्धन निर्माण प्रक्रियाले केही हदसम्म मलमपट्टी लगाए पनि शुक्रबार यादव र ठाकुरबीचको सहमतिले ठूलै संकट पार्ने अनुमान लगाउन थालिएको छ ।
यादव र ठाकुरबीचको सहमतिको रणनीति दुई पार्टीले प्रदेश २ मा केन्द्रीय संसद्को ३२ सिट तथा प्रदेश सभाको ६४ सिटमध्येबाट ५० प्रतिशत माग गर्ने रहेको स्रोतको दाबी छ ।
प्रदेश नं. १, ५, ६ र ७ का १८ जिल्लामा राम्रो प्रभाव रहेका यी दुई दलको गठबन्धनले लोकतान्त्रिक गठबन्धन त्यसमा पनि कांग्रेससँग राजनीतिक स्तरको लेनदेन गर्ने वातावरण बनाएको छ ।
प्रदेश २ मा फोरम-राजपा सरकार
कांग्रेस नेतृत्वको लोकतान्त्रिक गठबन्धनले प्रदेश २ मा फोरम नेपाल र राजपा गठबन्धनलाई प्रदेश सरकार स्विकार्ने गरी सहमति गरे आफूहरूले कांग्रेसको पक्षमा हिमाल, पहाड र अन्य केही क्षेत्रमा समेत खुलेर सहयोग गर्न सक्ने फोरम नेपाल संसदीय दलका प्रमुख सचेतक शिवजी यादवले बताए ।
उनले अन्नपूर्णसँग भने, ‘प्रदेश २ मा कांग्रेसले देखाउने उदारता, लचकता र सहयोगीपूर्ण भावनाले यो मुलुकको भविष्य निर्धारण हुन्छ । हामी अन्य प्रदेशमा कांग्रेसको सरकार बनाउन खुलेर सहयोग गर्छौं ।’
कांग्रेससँग आफूहरूले मधेसी १० शीर्ष नेता जिताउने प्रतिबद्धतासमेत माग गरेको उनले जानकारी दिए । राजपाका वरिष्ठ उपाध्यक्ष लक्ष्मणलाल कर्णले प्रदेश २ मा कांग्रेसले राजपा र फोरम नेपालको भविष्य देख्ने गरी चुनावी रणनीति अख्तियार गर्नु जरुरी रहेको जिकिर गरे ।
Kazuo Ishiguro wins 2017 Nobel Prize in Literature
STOCKHOLM, Oct. 5 (Xinhua) The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2017 is awarded to Kazuo Ishiguro “who, in novels of great emotional force, has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world”, the Swedish Academy announced in Stockholm on Thursday.
Kazuo Ishiguro has been a full-time author ever since his first book, A Pale View of Hills (1982). The themes Ishiguro is most associated with are already present here: memory, time, and self-delusion, said the Swedish Academy in his biobibliographical notes.
Ishiguro’s writings are marked by a carefully restrained mode of expression, independent of whatever events are taking place. At the same time, his more recent fiction contains fantastic features, the notes added.
“His novel, as in several others, we also find musical influences,” the notes said, adding that apart from his eight books, Ishiguro has also written scripts for film and television.
Kazuo Ishiguro was born on Nov. 8, 1954 in Nagasaki, Japan. The family moved to the United Kingdom when he was five years old. In the late 1970s, Ishiguro graduated in English and Philosophy at the University of Kent, and then went on to study Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia.
This year’s prize is 9 million SEK (1.1 million U.S. dollars).
Nadal sets up Dimitrov semi-final showdown
2017-10-06 18:05
BEIJING, Oct. 6 (AFP) – World number one Rafael Nadal tamed the big-serving American John Isner 6-4, 7-6 (7/0) to surge into the semi-finals of the China Open on Friday.
The brilliant Spaniard, on course for a sixth title this season, faces Bulgaria’s third seed Grigor Dimitrov in the last four on Beijing’s outdoor hard courts.The 31-year-old Nadal described Isner’s serve as “huge” on the eve of their quarter-final blockbuster.And Nadal came under the expected barrage before he grabbed the crucial break of serve in the ninth game of a tight first set.
Isner, seeded sixth, blasted 11 aces in the opening set but Nadal punished him at the first sniff of an opportunity.The second set was even tighter, until Nadal stepped up another gear in the tie break.
Anti-nuclear weapon campaigner ICAN wins Nobel Peace Prize
7 Oct, Oslo: The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) won the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize Friday for its “efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such weapons,” the Norwegian Nobel Committee announced.
“The organization is receiving the award for its work to draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons and for its ground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such weapons,” Berit Reiss-Andersen, chairperson of the five-member committee, said in her announcement.
Nuclear weapons are not yet subject to any international legal prohibition such as what land mines, cluster munitions and biological and chemical weapons face, she said. “Through its work, ICAN has helped to fill this legal gap.”
ICAN, a coalition of non-governmental organizations from around 100 different countries, “has been a driving force in prevailing upon the world’s nations to pledge to cooperate with all relevant stakeholders in efforts to stigmatize, prohibit and eliminate nuclear weapons,” Reiss-Andersen said.
She said the Norwegian Nobel Committee wished to emphasize that the next steps towards attaining a world free of nuclear weapons must involve the nuclear-armed states.
“This year’s Peace Prize is therefore also a call upon these states to initiate serious negotiations with a view to the gradual, balanced and carefully monitored elimination of the almost 15,000 nuclear weapons in the world,” Reiss-Andersen said.
She noted that five of the states that currently have nuclear weapons — the United States, Russia, Britain, France and China — have already committed to this objective through their accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons of 1970.
“The Non-Proliferation Treaty will remain the primary international legal instrument for promoting nuclear disarmament and preventing further spread of such weapons,” she said.
There are 318 candidates for the Nobel Peace Prize for 2017, out of which 215 are individuals and 103 are organizations. This was the second highest number of candidates ever as the record of 376 candidates was set in 2016. Xinhua

Question: Jose Mourinho takes inspiration from Ferguson’s resurgence in 2006-’07 to topple Man City

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

Jose Mourinho is using illustrious predecessor Sir Alex Ferguson as inspiration to turn the balance in power from Premier League champions-elect Manchester City to his Manchester United side next season.
For the first time on Friday, Mourinho all but conceded this season’s title to Pep Guardiola’s side after United’s loss at Tottenham in midweek allowed City to open up a 15-point gap at the top. City are well on course to set a new record for a title-winning points margin – currently held by Ferguson’s United team in 1999-’00 that won the league by 18 points – and have left Mourinho confessing that his side is simply playing to be “first of the last” over the remainder of the season.
But Mourinho, who won three Premier League titles in two spells as Chelsea manager, has enjoyed a successful start to 2018 himself, stealing Alexis Sanchez away from City after he left Arsenal and also extending his own contract to 2020. “I always remember when Sir Alex said in 2005-’06, when we won the second title with Chelsea, ‘we need to improve a lot because they have raised the bar to such a level. They won two titles in a row,’” said Mourinho.
“The second title was easier than the first and then the biggest manager in the Premier League said Man United needed to improve a lot. That was the click for the improvement of the team.”
And Mourinho wants United’s improvement to begin with the visit of Huddersfield on Saturday as the Red Devils seek to bounce back and ensure a top-four finish. “In 2006-’07, Man United won the title back. It has to be like that. That is why every match until the end of the season is an important match for us.
“It is not just about the points and finishing in the top four, which is important. Try to finish second. Try to play the best we can and improve the players individually the best we can and be the best possible team at the end of the season.
“Then we must try to start next season in a good way, like we did this season, but try to be consistent and try not to lose points like we did this season in some matches where we shouldn’t.”
No problem with Pogba
Image credit: Reuters
Meanwhile, Mourinho has played down any suggestion that he was unhappy with his club’s record signing Paul Pogba during the midweek defeat at Tottenham, with the United manager substituting the French international after barely an hour.
The coach was also seen in animated discussion with his star, although Mourinho insisted Pogba’s removal was purely a tactical decision. “In the second-half I decided to make a change and bring (Marouane) Fellaini with different qualities than him, to try to be stronger in midfield with Fellaini and (Nemanja) Matic because I wanted Alexis to play as a second striker with (Romelu) Lukaku.
“It was just a tactical decision but I lost Fellaini too after a few minutes. Paul is a young player, below 25, of course he has some things to improve. But it is not Paul, it is every player. Every player has a chance to improve until the end of his career, especially the ones below 26, 27. They always have areas to improve.”
Fellaini’s injury at Wembley could not have come at a worrying time for the Belgian international, who is out of contract with United this summer and has stalled on signing a new contract at Old Trafford. “I told him yesterday, sign the contract and shut up,” joked Mourinho. “I told him, don’t gamble too much. Sign the contract before you know the extent of the injury.”
Mourinho has yet to reveal the full extent of Fellaini’s injury although the United manager expects him to be absent for weeks.

Question: Facebook and Cambridge Analytica have just confirmed it: online privacy is dead

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

Mitch Joel is President of Mirum, a global digital marketing agency with offices in Toronto and Montreal and author of Six Pixels of Separation and CTRL ALT Delete.
Did Facebook hack the 2016 U.S. election? No. Did it swing the result? Probably. Did it do it on purpose? No, not likely. But this weekend, news reports bolster the view its data, which were not supposed to be shared, were central to the strategy of political consultants Cambridge Analytica to sway voters in favour of Donald Trump. What Facebook has actually done here is to confirm the death of privacy.
You could make the case Facebook is actually the victim here, after Cambridge Analytica weaponized someone else’s academic survey data by blending it with other available consumer data to create rich profiles on the behaviours and activities of 50 million American Facebook users and potential voters. But right now, many fingers are pointing at the firm and its CEO-founder Mark Zuckerberg.
The news broke hard over the weekend and the fallout has been fevered and far-reaching, extending far beyond a slide in Facebook shares that took as much as a US$5-billion bite out of Zuckerberg’s personal wealth in a matter of hours. The backlash includes calls for government inquiries or investigations in the U.S., EU and Britain, words of concern from the British prime minister and speculation that users could sign out of the social media giant’s site for good due to concerns over data breaches and privacy threats.
This may be the precise moment in time when we all acknowledge that privacy is officially gone. No one buys the Google mantra “Do no evil” anymore; even if social media companies aren’t actively conspiring to eliminate privacy, they are complicit in its demise. Facebook may not have hacked an election, but nobody really knows where our data lives any more and who has access.
Who watches the watchers?
The question of oversight or regulation is one that consumers and brands must face when it comes to marketing and advertising on platforms like Facebook. It’s one thing to help a company sell you its goods, but it’s a whole new world to have the power to help anyone buy an election.
About 50 million profiles were allegedly harvested to create content and target individuals with specific political messages. Using personal profile data, analytics, predictive software and algorithms, Cambridge Analytica, with investment from U.S. hedge fund billionaire, Robert Mercer, along with advisor Steve Bannon (from Breitbart and Donald Trump’s election team) allegedly used our personal information (without explicit authorization) in 2014 to build a database that could target personalized political advertisements down to specific individuals.
It wasn’t a data breach. Or was it?
It’s easy to shake your first in the air and scream, “How could this happen?” The roots of this story seem innocuous enough. Back in 2014, Global Science Research’s Aleksandr Kogan launched a personality quiz app on Facebook called thisisyourdigitallife to study human behaviour based on information that could be gleaned from Facebook. The app was downloaded by 270,000 Facebook users, who were paid a small sum to take a personality test (all good and fun).
Depending on the users’ privacy settings, GSR was able to gather not just information about the individual who downloaded the app, but (depending on the user’s security settings) also gave GSR access to their “friends.” This quickly scaled to the 50 million profiles that were also shared by GSR’s data analytics firm, Cambridge Analytica. Facebook was made aware of this in 2015, removed the app and demanded proof from GSK (and all other parties) that the data had been destroyed.
Several days ago, Facebook was told that the data had not been deleted. Now, it’s all one big hot mess. Facebook is currently attempting to confirm whether or not the data had been deleted. Cambridge Analytica claims that they did, in fact, delete it, when it became clear that the data was not obtained in line with Facebook’s terms or service. Cambridge Analytica is denying the use of this data in relation to the Trump campaign. Now, a past employee of Cambridge Analytica, Christopher Wylie (a Vancouver-native), is doing the media circuit as a whistleblower. Both the New York Times and the The Guardian have been leading this past weekend’s revelations.
Welcome to “surveillance capitalism”
The idea of “surveillance capitalism” was first introduced by John Bellamy Foster and Robert McChesney in Monthly Review, and later popularized by academic Shoshana Zuboff (according to Wikipedia). In short: Facebook’s business model is not based on content, marketing or advertising. You — the consumer — are the product and the money that Facebook generates is based on how well they can monetize your data and target you to their brand partners.
None of that should come as a surprise, but the Cambridge Analytica twist to this business model is not about knowing individuals and figuring out how to better position a brand in front of a consumer. This new model is about being able to leverage highly personalized information and psychological models to change the consumer’s behaviour by showing them hyper-personalized content to sway their opinions. Of course, this is all being done without the consumer’s consent and knowledge. And the weapon of choice was fake news, served up to appeal to unique profiles.
Do no evil. Do no harm.
While that is often the mantra of these Silicon Valley social media and Internet platforms, it’s getting harder and harder for consumers to believe it. It’s not just Facebook. Google, Twitter, LinkedIn, Amazon and others hold a treasure trove of personal information about consumers. If third-party players are able to run apps and programs across multiple platforms, seeing 50 million accounts being harvested on Facebook may wind up being the tip of the iceberg. Everyone is vulnerable.
Facebook’s VP & Deputy General Counsel, Paul Grewal, took to Facebook to update his post, Suspending Cambridge Analytica and SCL Group from Facebook, with this on March 17th: “The claim that this is a data breach is completely false. Aleksandr Kogan requested and gained access to information from users who chose to sign up to his app, and everyone involved gave their consent. People knowingly provided their information, no systems were infiltrated, and no passwords or sensitive pieces of information were stolen or hacked.”
You will need to re-read that last paragraph a few times. It’s not about whether or not users knowingly provided their information. Users — without a doubt — were probably clueless that this app was taking much more from them than a personality quiz. It scraped their profiles and the profiles of their friends. So, while SCL may have “legally” used an app to access this information, it does not mean that they didn’t do anything morally wrong, or that Facebook’s “legal” terms of service at the time were not vulnerable.
Where do we go from here?
The true business challenge is that consumer’s data is being used in myriad ways that they are not aware of. Consumers have little insight and recourse in understanding what data is held, how it is being used and where that data may be floating around. In all of this news about Cambridge Analytica, it is still unclear how much advertising revenue that company drove to Facebook. If consumers even did read the terms of service when signing up for a platform like Facebook, it is more than likely that they didn’t keep abreast as these platforms change and adjust their terms of service.
Is this strictly the user’s fault if they’re not staying apprised? Facebook and other social networks often allow third parties to connect with the consumer, and while this makes for a better user experience (you get ads for things you’re interested in), we can’t be certain that users understand how that data is sold and resold. What happens when many of these third party apps and companies go bankrupt? Are the consumer data assets being reused and resold? Do consumers have a right to know if that has happened and stop it?
Facebook, like you, is trying to stay ahead of this
This Cambridge Analytica fiasco highlights some of the dynamic challenges that businesses face today. How can Facebook protect a businesses (and a user’s) best interest? The truth is that Facebook knows way more than they need to know about their users in order to best target them with relevant content and advertising.
While this current data imbroglio started playing out in 2015, why are most people only finding out about this now? Should every misuse of Facebook data be made readily available to the people whose data have been misused? These are all monstrously large ethical, legal and business questions that will need to answered and accounted for.
The better business question might be: just how much data does a brand really need to ideally target a consumer with a relevant message? Does that mean that every byte of information after that point should never be in a place where it can be passed along or analyzed? Until Facebook and the other digital marketing data giants can prove that they can police themselves, brands have an incredible opportunity to step up, move forward and properly protect their consumers and the people that they want as new consumers.
MORE ABOUT PRIVACY:

How did Cambridge Analytica get 50 million people's data?
With a little outside help. To understand the story, we need to rewind to 2014 when Aleksandr Kogan -- a psychology researcher at Cambridge University -- created a Facebook app called "thisisyourdigitallife" with a personality test that spit out some kind of personal prediction at the end. To build credibility, the app was originally labeled a "research app used by psychologists," but that was only part of the truth -- as it turned out, Cambridge Analytica covered more than $800,000 of Kogan's app development costs. (Kogan also got to keep a copy of the resulting data for his trouble.) Some US Facebook users took the personality test as a result of ads on services like Amazon's Mechanical Turk and were paid for their efforts, but it's unclear how many chose to take the test on their own.
All told, some 270,000 US users took the test, but CA obviously walked away with data on many more people than that. That's thanks to a very specific Facebook peculiarity.
If you have a Facebook account, you've almost certainly used Facebook Login before -- it lets you create an account with a third-party app or service (or log into an existing account) with your Facebook credentials. It's incredibly convenient, but by using Facebook Login, you're tacitly giving developers of Facebook apps access to certain kinds of information about yourself -- email address and public profile data, for instance, are available to developers by default.
In 2014, however, using Facebook Login didn't just mean you were offering up your own data -- some data about the people in your social network was up for grabs too. (Facebook later deprecated the API that let this happen because, well, it's just creepy.) Those thousands of people who logged in to Kogan's app and took the test might have gotten the personality predictions they were looking for, but they paid for them with information about their friends and loved ones. Whether those results were ultimately valuable is another story. Kogan himself later said in an email to Cambridge coworkers (recently obtained by CNN) that he had provided "predicted personality scores" of 30 million American users to CA's parent company, but the results were "6 times more likely to get all 5 of a person's personality traits wrong as it was to get them all correct."
Was this really a data breach?
For better or worse, no. Facebook's official line is that calling this a breach is "completely false," since the people who signed up for Kogan's app did so willingly. As a result, that the information gained through those app logins was obtained within the scope of Facebook's guidelines. In other words, despite how shady all of this seems, the system worked exactly the way it was supposed to. The breakdown happened later when Kogan broke Facebook's rules and provided that information to Cambridge Analytica.
What has Facebook done about all this?
When all of this went down, very little -- in public, anyway. In a statement in its online newsroom, Facebook admits that it learned about Kogan and Cambridge Analytica's "violation" in 2015 and "demanded certifications from Kogan and all parties he had given data to that the information had been destroyed." As it turns out, some of that personal data might not have been deleted after all -- Facebook says it is "aggressively" trying to determine whether that's true.
More troubling is the fact that, as noted by Guardian reporter Carole Cadwalladr in an interview with CBS, Facebook never contacted any of the users involved. (She also added that Facebook took threatened to sue The Guardian to prevent an exposé from being published, which obviously isn't a good look.) Facebook VR/AR VP Andrew "Boz" Bosworth posted a rough timeline of the events (along with answers to certain FB-centric questions) earlier today, and it seems likely that timeline will remain a point of focus as investigations continue.
Finally, on March 16, a day before many of the biggest Cambridge Analytica stories broke, Facebook suspended accounts belonging to CA and its parent firm. The move is widely read as an attempt on Facebook's part to clean up some of the mess before The Guardian and The New York Times ran their most damning reports. Then, in a somewhat unexpected move, Facebook also disabled Christopher Wylie's account and prevented him from using Whatsapp, the popular messaging app Facebook acquired in 2014. (Consider this a brief reminder of how much of your social world Facebook currently owns.)
Beyond that, some Facebook execs spent the weekend asserting that there was no actual data breach. Meanwhile, CEO Mark Zuckerberg hasn't said anything about the unfolding situation, though we can imagine his silence can't last for too much longer.
So what happens now?
Scrutiny, and lots of it. Now that all of this is out in the open, powerful people are taking an interest. On March 18, Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minnesota) tweeted that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg should testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, adding that "it's clear these platforms can't police themselves." Senator Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) sent a letter (PDF) to Zuckerberg the following day, requesting information like the number of times similar incidents have occurred within the past ten years and whether Facebook has ever notified "individual users about inappropriate collection, retention or subsequent use of their data by third parties."
Facebook breach: This is a major breach that must be investigated. It's clear these platforms can't police themselves. I've called for more transparency & accountability for online political ads. They say "trust us." Mark Zuckerberg needs to testify before Senate Judiciary. — Amy Klobuchar (@amyklobuchar) March 17, 2018
Meanwhile, in the UK, Cambridge Analytica CEO Alexander Nix recently told the Parliament's Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee that the company did not collect people's personal information through Facebook without consent. Since Nix lied, Committee chairman Damian Collins has accused the CEO of peddling false statements and has called CA whistleblower Christopher Wylie to offer evidence to parliament. Even more promising, UK Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham confirmed that she is seeking a warrant to access Cambridge Analytica's servers.
BREAKING: Damian Collins, chair of UK parliament's news inquiry, has called Cambridge Analytica whistleblower @chrisinsilico to give evidence next week to parliament. I predict: fireworks. — Carole Cadwalladr (@carolecadwalla) March 19, 2018
And as far as Facebook is concerned, there are few people more powerful than its shareholders. We wouldn't be surprised to see Facebook's financials bounce around for a while, too -- as I write this, the company's share price is down nearly 7 percent, shaving billions of dollars off Facebook's market cap (and eating away at Zuckerberg's net worth.) The entire core of its business is built on a foundation of trust with its users, and incidents like this can do serious damage to that trust.
This is scary -- should I keep using Facebook?
Honestly, you should at least give serious consideration to deleting your account. If you're a Facebook user, then you and all of your Facebooking friends are collectively the single most valuable thing the company has. Its fortunes rise and fall when its user numbers ebb and flow. The old internet adage says "if you're not paying, you're the product," and this is a perfect example of that.
The data we offer Facebook freely is a commodity to be accessed, mashed up, scraped and targeted against. For some, the value of the platform is enough to override the dangers. There's nothing wrong with that, and it's worth taking a few minutes to dig into account's privacy, app and ad settings to limit the amount of data you unknowingly offer to the machine. But there's also nothing wrong with saying enough is enough. None of us will cough up a cent to get bombarded by fake news, inane quizzes and game requests. But that doesn't mean we aren't paying for Facebook.

Replace hopelessness with Christ-like values
COREY CONNELLY Monday, January 2 2017
ROMAN Catholic Archbishop Joseph Harris has called for an end to the despair and hopelessness which plagued Trinidad and Tobago for much of 2016. Delivering the homily at News Year Eve mass on Saturday night at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Port-of-Spain, Harris said, despair must be replaced by greater efforts to emulate Christlike values.
My dear sisters and brothers, in my Christmas Homily, I stressed the need for every believer in this land of ours to become another Christ. This is necessary if we are to walk in the light, he told a packed congregation. We must not be outwardly content to walk in despair and hopelessness. To walk in the light demands from all of us a conscious and concerted effort, he said.
Alluding to the domestic abuse and violence which affected many families over the past year, Harris also urged listeners to heed the advice of Pope Francis who has called repeatedly for world peace, harmony in the home, and intercession to the Blessed Mother.
Let her show us the image of God in each and every person and treat everyone with the love and respect that every image of God deserves, he said.
The archbishop said that if TT were to progress as a nation in 2017, the country must denounce the things which held it back.
Referring to the countrys motto, Together we aspire. Together we achieve, he said, Let us together say no to selfishness and greed.
Let us say no to violence and abuse. Let us so no to dishonesty and corruption, and together let us say yes to love, yes to hope and to the values that Jesus taught us.
If we do that, we will walk in the light. The mass was preceded by a solemn vigil to commemorate the centennial of the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima. It featured a public unveiling of a 500 pound, eight-foot statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary as she had appeared to three young shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal in 1917. The statue carved by Portuguese sculptor Guilherme Ferreira Thedim in 1949. It is expected to be taken to several parishes in the coming months. The statue has travelled from Fatima and Lisbon in Portugal to Dublin and Dundalk in Ireland and finally to Port-of-Spain.

Question: As Yields Hit 3%, Stocks That Were Meant to Fall Are Outshining

You didn’t need a crystal ball to know 10-year yields would hit 3 percent sooner or later.
It finally happened on Tuesday, and stocks behaved nothing like what they were expected to.
Seconds after the yield reached a psychologically important level at 9:48 a.m. in New York, the sectors reacted as expected: telecom, utilities and real estate firms, whose relatively high dividends are attractive in a lower-rate environment, sold off. Banks, which make more money when rates increase, rallied.
And then it changed: the S&P 500 Telecommunication Services Index rose 1.5 percent, triple the 0.5 percent advance in S&P 500 Financials Index as of 12:16 p.m. in New York. Utilities advanced 0.7 percent in the best rally in six sessions. Rate-sensitive real estate companies gained 0.3 percent.
The text-book example of high-dividend stocks retreating on rising rates didn’t materialize on Tuesday for two reasons. For one, it’s because of the earnings: telecoms are marching higher after Verizon Communications Inc.’s first-quarter EPS beat the highest estimate. Another reason utilities and real estate companies aren’t selling off is because higher rates have already been priced in, according to Donald Selkin, chief market strategist at Newbridge Securities Corp.
“You would expect to see a different chart on a day when the rates finally hit 3 percent,” Selkin said. “Verizon is pushing the telecom sector higher. In general, we’re not seeing the rate-sensitive stocks selling off because most of the rate move has already been priced in.”
What was expected was that yields reaching 3 percent would trigger automatic trading by algorithms and high-frequency traders. Sophisticated investors probably used the algos to trade on the yields reaching 3 percent, according to Frank Cappelleri, senior equity trader at Instinet LLC, though it’s hard to quantify how big the trading was.
The turnover in consumer staples stocks, at 2.1 billion shares as of 10:35 a.m. in New York, was 30 percent higher than the average for the past month during that time of the year. About 2.2 billion shares in the KBW Bank Index changed hands as of 10:35 a.m., 10 percent more than a 30-day average of 2 billion shares at this time of the day. By early afternoon, the indexes’ share turnover had subsided and was on par with the 30-day average with that time of the day.

Question: Police try out new database for documenting opioid overdoses

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Police in Massachusetts are testing a new database for documenting opioid overdoses they hope will help departments share information in real time and get people into treatment.
The database was developed by criminal justice experts Sean Varano at Roger Williams University in Rhode Island, and Pam Kelley with Kelley Research Associates in Massachusetts.
It's an innovative approach, Varano said, because agencies typically rely on older public health data about fatal overdoses and don't know the prevalence of nonfatal overdoses and because it gives them a quick way to communicate about that data.
"This is really a death prevention project," Varano said. "That sounds like hyperbole, but when someone overdoses today and they're not in treatment, their chances of dying in the next month are exponentially greater. So how do we understand that and play a role so they don't die?"
It works like this: When a department is called to an overdose, it's recorded in the system. The system then alerts the department to do a follow-up outreach visit. If the victim is from a neighbouring community, that police department is notified.
The 27 police departments in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, are using it. They have all agreed that within 24 hours of a nonfatal overdose, a non-uniformed officer and recovery coach will go to the person's house to discuss treatment and offer resources to their family.
"We know people suffering from the crisis don't just overdose in their town," said East Bridgewater Police Chief Scott Allen. "And if we're not sharing that information in real time, we're missing opportunities to get people into treatment."
Given the skyrocketing number of overdoses, Allen said the departments had no choice but to figure out what they could do to help people. He stressed that the visits serve to offer people access to treatment and services they may not know about, and they won't be prosecuted for possession because of the state's Good Samaritan law.
More than 1,000 people have overdosed in the county so far this year, Allen added. He said he's looking at the data for increases because that could indicate that more people are using fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid.
Allen is also speaking with police departments in other parts of the country interested in the new database. Allen and Plymouth Police Chief Michael Botieri brought police chiefs together to implement the system in their county.
President Donald Trump said last week that he will officially declare the opioid crisis a "national emergency," and he pledged to ramp up government efforts to combat the epidemic.

Question: With Sri Lankan port acquisition, China adds another 'pearl' to its 'string'

Represent the article to find a fitting news title!

(CNN) When Sri Lanka's government first looked to develop a port on its southern coast that faced the Indian Ocean, it went not to China, but to its neighbor, India.
Then-Sri Lankan Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa said he urgently needed funding to transform the harbor of his home town and asked Indian officials for help with the project.
New Delhi showed little interest in funding a costly and massive port construction project in the underdeveloped fishing village of Hambantota, a district that had been crushed by the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004
"It was offered to India first. I was desperate for development work, but ultimately the Chinese agreed to build it," Rajapaksa said in an interview with Singapore's Straits Times in 2010
The venture was considered economically unviable and indeed, in the years that followed, the port sat empty and neglected, and Sri Lanka's debt ballooned
But India's economic foresight might have cost it in terms of strategic geopolitics, since the debt incurred on the port and the surrounding infrastructure undertakings now belong to its great rival.
China's official licensing of the port in December last year gives it yet another point of access over a key shipping route, and the prospect of providing it with a sizeable presence in India's immediate backyard and traditional sphere of influence, bringing China closer to India's shores than New Delhi might like.
Sri Lankan dancers perform at the site of the Hambantota port during a ceremony marking the first phase of construction, August 15, 2010.
Moreover, Sri Lanka's decision to sign a 99-year lease with a Chinese state-owned company for the Hambantota port to service some of the billions it owes to Beijing has some observers concerned other developing nations doing business with China as part of China's One Belt One Road initiative might fall into similar financial straits.
A trap, they warn, that may well have them owing more than just money to Beijing.
"China is, in many cases, the only party with the interest and the capital to deliver on these projects," said Jeff Smith, a research fellow on South Asia at the Heritage Foundation in Washington DC. "The relevant question for everyone is: at what cost?"
'A determined strategy by China'
China has for decades invested in Sri Lanka, particularly during moments in recent history when much of the international community held off
Jeff Smith points out that along with the Hambantota port investments, Beijing loaned Sri Lanka $200 million in 2010 for a second international airport and a year later a further $810 million for the "second phase of the port project."
There was more. $272 million for a railway in 2013 and more than $1 billion for the Colombo Port City project, ventures that hired mostly Chinese workers (one Sri Lankan report put the number of Chinese workers dedicated to projects in 2009 at 25,000 ), and all with money Sri Lanka could barely afford to repay.
After an equity swap, an IMF bailout and more control over the projects ceded to Beijing, the terms of the debt were restructured, giving Sri Lanka some breathing space.
In 2017, however, the Hambantota port proved too costly for Sri Lanka to sustain.
"They (the Chinese) called in the debt, and the debt has been paid by Sri Lanka giving them the (Hambantota) port. That port then gives them not only a strategic access point into India's sphere of influence through which China can deploy its naval forces, but it also gives China an advantageous position to export its goods into India's economic sphere, so it's achieved a number of strategic aims in that regard," said Malcolm Davis, senior analyst at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute in Sydney.
"This is part of a determined strategy by China to extend its influence across the Indian Ocean at the expense of India and it's using Sri Lanka to achieve it," he said.
Details of the new agreement between China and Sri Lanka have not been made public.
The port is an "important project aimed at spurring local economic growth based on equality and mutual benefits," according to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It declined to answer further when asked by reporters.
Construction workers operate heavy equipment at the base of Sri Lanka's Hambantota port August 1, 2010. Some 350 Chinese staff helped in the first phase of construction.
'Creating demand for Chinese goods'
China's claiming of controlling stakes in strategic ports along critical shipping lanes -- what analysts have taken to referring to as its "string of pearls" -- beginning at the Straits of Malacca and dotting the Indian Ocean, should signal Beijing's ultimate ambitions, said Davis.
"There's a bigger picture here, that the more you invest in the Belt and Road initiative, the more the Chinese are in a position to force your country to align politically in terms of policy," Davis told CNN.
"So you become dependent on their investment and their largesse, and you're less likely to be critical of them and you're more likely to accommodate their interests strategically."
Beijing's other potential partners are finding difficulty with some of their own joint projects.
In Myanmar, a $3.6 billion dam project has stalled. The then-military backed government suspended work on the Myitsone dam in the north of the country in 2011, with talks regarding its future ongoing.
Pakistan withdrew from a $14 billion agreement with China for a dam last November because the conditions of the deal included China taking ownership of the project and were "not doable and against our interests," Pakistan's Water and Power Development Authority chairman Muzammil Hussain was quoted as saying. Like Nepal, Pakistan has since indicated it would also look to shoulder the cost of the dam rather than go to an outside investor.
China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs claimed to be unaware of this when asked about the situation by reporters in Beijing in December. The country's top economic planning agency later said that the two countries were discussing cooperating on the dam project but that there'd been no discussion of proposals to move it forward. The agency said "Pakistan media's reporting on this project has been inaccurate, or only represented the views of certain officials."
But China is still spending in Pakistan. It is building a hydroelectric power station in the Rawalpindi district, and it is developing the port of Gwadar , strategically located on the Arabian Sea.
China's trade deal with the Maldives government included investments in developing the international airport and a bridge, but the Maldives in return has taken on a significant number of controversial loan obligations.
Last July, former President Mohamed Nasheed said the loan interest the traditionally Indian ally pays to service its foreign debt to China is more than 20% of the country's budget. He said that part of the deal included China's receipt of 16 "strategically located islands" in navigation sea-lanes.

Dean Cheng, a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, DC, said that the initial wave of Chinese investments in the Indian Ocean, the so-called string of pearls, was largely driven by economic considerations. The investments, he said, "would facilitate economic growth, which would benefit Chinese companies. Moreover, the construction projects would entail Chinese workers (a feature of most Chinese projects abroad, bringing their own work force), and create a demand base for Chinese goods."
At the same time, he said the Chinese are clearly intent on creating a friendly political network of states. "There's nothing inherently dangerous about political considerations in economic investments," he told CNN. "It would be foolish to think that any state is wholly driven by economic considerations."

Whither India?
The ever-encroaching Chinese presence into India's sphere of political and economic influence has been noted, but so far, says Manoj Joshi, New Delhi purports to be unruffled, as long as Hambantota remains a commercial port, and no Chinese naval vessels suddenly appear in the vicinity.
"In 2014 a Chinese submarine was spotted in Colombo harbor and that was the first time we saw that and the Indian side was a bit concerned," said Joshi, a distinguished fellow at the Observer Research Foundation in New Delhi. At the time Indian defense officials expressed "serious concern" to their Sri Lankan counterpart , and naval chiefs from both countries met to discuss the incidents. Then-Defense Minister Arun Jaitley said the government "keeps a constant watch on all developments concerning our national security and economic interests and takes necessary measures to safeguard them."

"It's geopolitical competition and India sees itself as the foremost nation in Asia and with the Chinese building a port, building and airport, building roads in Sri Lanka, they've emerged as big investors there and the Indians are obviously feeling somewhat nervous because India doesn't have those kind of resources to compete with," Joshi told CNN.
"What we worry about is, we already have a border problem with China and now that competition goes to the Indian Ocean region. That could be against our interests."
India and China share a 2,500 mile-long border, and have regularly faced off over perceived intrusions on each other's terrain as well as activity in uninhabited territory claimed by China and Bhutan, an Indian ally.
"Everybody talks about China and India being major rivals, I think China doesn't see India as a genuine long-term rival, I think it looks at India and sees a classic case of democracy gone wrong," said Yvonne Chiu, assistant professor in the politics department at the University of Hong Kong.
India is incredibly corrupt , its infrastructure is terrible, and it is riddled with religious and demographic problems," she told CNN. "Except it is very large. It does have a big population as well and it's on the border. So it's a regional rival, but I don't think they take India seriously as a global rival."

For its part, India is now taking an active interest in Hambantota. The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is reported to be in talks with Sri Lanka about taking over the airport near the port, which was built using Chinese funds that Beijing itself wants to manage and is pushing for control with the Sri Lankan government. During a media briefing last November, Raveesh Kumar, an official spokesperson for the Ministry of External Affairs, would only say that New Delhi has "a lot of developmental projects" going on in Sri Lanka and declined to elaborate further. Colombo has yet to make a decision involving the airport.
And New Delhi continues to actively participate in large-scale naval exercises in regional waters alongside allies Japan, and the US, and into the future, possibly Australia too, all to Beijing's continued consternation.
Last year's Malabar exercises in the Bay of Bengal involving the US, Japan and India were the largest the region has seen in more than two decades
"India, of course, remains highly influential in Sri Lanka, and would not look kindly on any effort to pressure the government on matters related to defense and national security," said Jeff Smith. "Nor would the Sri Lankan military, which values its exchanges with the US ."
Modi will be in Singapore in June, attending the Shangri-La dialogue , an annual meeting of defense ministers, military chiefs and defense officials from the Asia-Pacific. His keynote address will be carefully watched for words on China's maritime expansion.
A White House unable to compete with China
South Asia's problems are not on Washington's radar right now, says Hong Kong University professor Chiu. The White House has much of its focus -- along with a substantial naval presence -- directed towards the Korean Peninsula and the ongoing crisis there. And while the US is distracted, China is slowly and incrementally changing the seascape in the Asia Pacific. China claims disputed islands in the South China Sea as part of its territory and has been militarizing some of those islands, reclaiming land on others and turning sandbars into islands to assert sovereignty over the area.
"Everything that they do, like building these islands (in the South China Sea) and stuff that is illegal internationally , but nobody wants to get into a conflict over, it adds up and you have a new status quo and it's too late to do anything about it," Chiu said.
"China can't afford to go to war over anything ... it would most likely lose against a major power ... but these kind of small incremental things, people will let them get away with. As long as they're patient, it could have the same effect as going to war."
Even as China has taken the long view, Dean Cheng argues it's never too late for the US and its allies to do something to counter Beijing's ambitions.
"The US, in cooperation with India, Japan and possibly the European Union, could offer alternative financing," Cheng said. "They could help train local officials, lawyers, etc, to become better negotiators. They can push for transparency, especially in Chinese-sponsored institutions to make clear the terms of the loans, payback processes, as well as how contracts are rewarded."

Last October US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson gave a speech on the US relationship with India . Tillerson said it was up to New Delhi and Washington to "do a better job leveraging our collective expertise to meet common challenges while seeking even more avenues of cooperation."
"We must also recognize that many Indo-Pacific nations have limited alternatives when it comes to infrastructure investment programs and financing schemes, which often fail to promote jobs or prosperity for the people they claim to help," Tillerson said. "It's time to expand transparent, high-standard regional lending mechanisms, tools that will actually help nations instead of saddle them with mounting debt."
Tillerson told reporters that during the East Asia ministerial summit in August that the US had started "a quiet conversation with others about what they were experiencing , what they need."
However, he also admitted Washington's constraints. "We will not be able to compete with the kind of terms that China offers," said Tillerson. "But countries have to decide, what are they willing to pay to secure their sovereignty and their future control of their economies? And we've had those discussions with them as well."
China's resources are nowhere near as limited as the US and its allies, says Yvonne Chiu from the University of Hong Kong.
"Right now, it can play on multiple fronts at once," Chiu notes. "And they take a very long view. If you're a power like the US, you're really far away. That distance is going to limit how much attention you can pay to the region. The US has to pick and choose and it's chosen East Asia. So, unless something really major happens, that's probably where their attention is going to stay."

As 2017 wrapped up, the Chinese state news agency Xinhua published a dispatch from Colombo, describing how the Hambantota port was "now racing along a developmental fast-track.
Chinese and Sri Lankan workers were building a highway north of the port, along with a bridge, and the Chinese Harbor Engineering Company is negotiating with the Sri Lankan government to develop a Logistics Zone that will include a natural gas power plant and refineries, the agency reported.
On the first day of the new year, the Chinese flag flew beside Sri Lanka's at the port for the first time ever.
Rather than resist getting into further debt, Sri Lanka's government appears to be making more deals with China that it will may yet struggle to pay back.

Advocating a nuanced approach towards China, former Navy Chief Admiral Arun Prakash on Wednesday said a possible radical shift in US policies under the Trump administration could trigger instability in the Indo-Pacific and asked New Delhi to seek multi-lateral partnerships within the strategic region. Till recently, the Indo-US relationship seemed to be following a mutually-beneficial trajectory that could have ensured a stable balance-of-power and peace in the Indo-Pacific, he said in Hyderabad.

However, the election of President Donald Trump has signalled a radical shift in many of America’s long-standing policies which could result in heightened tension and instability in the region, the ex-Chief of the Naval Staff.
He was delivering a talk on `Security Issues in Indo-Pacific –India’s Response’ at an international conference on `Changing Security Dynamic in the Indo-Pacific’.
“In the approaching era of uncertainty, it would be unwise for India to put all its eggs in any one basket and prudence demands it should seek multi-lateral partnerships within the region,” he said, calling for a nuanced approach towards Beijing.
India’s trade links, investment and diaspora today span an arc extending from Siberia and New Zealand to its east to Africa and Central Asia to its west, Prakash said.
“Any attempts (by China) to dominate waters of the Indo-Pacific would represent a grave threat to India’s vital interests.
“While we lack the deep pockets and dynamism that underpins Chinese overseas initiatives, the India Navy has concluded formal agreements whereby its warships, submarines and aircraft can put into about 25-30 friendly ports across the Indo-Pacific for operational or other reasons.”
“China’s footholds in Indian Ocean locations, dubbed the ‘string of pearls’, are meant to provide it a network of port facilities, which could support long-range maritime operations,” the Navy veteran said.
The ‘Maritime Silk Road’, a component of the ‘One Road One Belt’ initiative, pursues an even more ambitious agenda by creating a huge arc of maritime and economic influence across the region, according to him.
“The deployment of PLA Navy submarines in the Indian Ocean, that commenced in 2013-14, was a clear indication China seeks to not only gain strategic superiority across the Himalayas, but also to establish maritime dominance in the Indian Ocean with the Pakistani port of Gwadar as a key logistic base,” Prakash explained.
“Commencement of work on the CPEC (China Pakistan Economic Corridor) project will further tilt the balance against India.”

Question: NFL Players Warn Parents of Tackle Football Dangers, CTE

Just in time for the Super Bowl, three retired NFL linebackers are pleading with parents to keep younger children out of tackle football to avoid traumatic brain injuries.
The retired players, Nick Buoniconti, Harry Carson and Phil Villapiano, are recommending flag football for children under 14 as a way to protect their brains at a time when they are undergoing enormous growth.
They made their appeal as a new study found evidence of degenerative brain disease in four teenagers who had suffered sports-related head injuries before they died. Autopsies of their brains showed early evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, the disease increasingly being diagnosed in football players, even without signs of a concussion, according to the study’s lead investigator, Dr. Lee Goldstein.

“It’s not about concussions,” said Goldstein, an associate professor of psychiatry at Boston University’s School of Medicine and a researcher at the university’s CTE Center. “It’s about hits to the head causing CTE and the only way to prevent CTE is to prevent the hits.”
The linebackers appeared with Goldstein to launch the “Flag Football Under 14” campaign on behalf of the Concussion Legacy Foundation at a news conference in New York two weeks ago.
“There are benefits to tackle football, but you could learn those benefits in four years of high school football,” said Chris Nowinski, a co-founder of the foundation and Boston University’s CTE Center. “You don’t need 13 years of banging your head before you’re 18.”
The Pop Warner youth football league and the NFL, which had long denied a link between football and CTE, responded by stressing what they have done to try to make the game safer. Pop Warner objected to what it called a ban on tackle football.

“While we certainly appreciate the work of researchers looking to advance the conversation on player safety we do not agree banning football for young people is the answer,” a spokesman, Brian Heffron, said in a statement. “Millions of young people have played Pop Warner football for nearly 90 years and have grown up to be healthy, successful adults contributing to society in so many ways. We think the life lessons, experiences and memories from playing this great team sport far outweigh the risks.”
Parents are worried about brain injuries. In a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll just released Friday morning, 48 percent of Americans said that they would encourage their child to play a different sport than football, up 8 percentage points from four years ago.
An earlier poll, done by the University of Massachusetts, Lowell, Center for Public Opinion in July 2106, found that four out of five American adults do not believe tackle football is appropriate for children under age 14. That included 72 percent of the men surveyed.
Buoniconti, a Hall of Fame middle linebacker and a two-time Super Bowl winner in 14 seasons with the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins, has been diagnosed with dementia and likely has CTE. He said he regretted starting youth tackle football at age 9, which he called all risk with no reward. Now in a wheelchair, he struggled to express himself.
“I used to be eloquent as a speaker,” he said. “I can’t even tell you how I feel now.”
He and Villapiano, a linebacker with the Oakland Raiders and Buffalo Bills, plan to donate their brains for research. Buoniconti’s son, Marc, paralyzed while playing football more than 30 years ago, asked during an interview with The Miami Herald last year, “How do you field a team of kids under 18 years old, knowing there is a liability out there, and not feel responsible?”

Carson said he would not allow his 8-year-old grandson, Kellen Carson-Gurley, to play tackle football. His 11-year-old nephew, Brandon Dowling, decided on his own to forgo the sport, he said. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. surgeon general should issue warnings to parents before they consent to their children participating, he said.
“Whenever I spend time with my grandkids we play, we have fun but it’s about golf, it’s about swimming, it’s about non-contact sports,” he said.
Carson, a Hall of Fame inside linebacker who played 13 seasons for the New York Giants, has depression and migraines and says he does not think as clearly as he used to. He would not have played football had he known about brain injuries, he said.

Dr. Julian Bailes, chairman of the Pop Warner Medical Advisory Committee, argued that there was no scientific proof that tackle football was more dangerous than other activities. No cases of CTE have been discovered in someone who played only youth football, he said, and in the study of the 202 deceased football players, the two who played only youth football did not show signs of it.
“If you don’t have kids at football games or practice, they are not necessarily doing risk-aversive other activities,” he said.
The Concussion Legacy Foundation, which has been researching brain trauma since 2007, picked 14 as a cutoff for tackle football because of the dramatic changes children’s brains undergo between 8 and 13. Critics charge the age is arbitrary.
Dr. Robert Cantu, who created with foundation with Nowinski, responded: “Some of my colleagues quibble that the science has not determined which age is the right age, but they don’t seem to realize that health experts set age minimums for all sorts of activities like drinking, smoking and driving, and the science is never purely black and white.”
Nowinski also noted that not only are children’s brains maturing, but that their heads grow much faster than the rest of their bodies.
“Even though it looks like a pillow fight with children, the reality is when you put a center in a helmet, they’re hitting each other in the head just as hard as college football players,” he said. “It’s not how much energy they’re bringing to the hit, it’s that their head goes flying when you tap it.”
To press home its point that youth tackle football is not only dangerous but unnecessary, the foundation put together a roster of top players who did not play until high school, a list that included Carson. According to the foundation, that list includes Jim Brown, Walter Payton, Jerry Rice, Lawrence Taylor and Tom Brady.
Limiting children to flag football is among the responses to the increasing number of football players diagnosed with CTE, with such symptoms as depression, memory loss and dementia. Hall of Fame linebacker Junior Seau was found to have had CTE after his suicide in 2012. New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, who last year at 27 killed himself in prison as he was serving a life sentence for murder, had the most severe case of CTE ever found in someone his age, according to Dr. Ann McKee, a director at Boston University's CTE Center.
Previously seen in boxers, CTE was first identified in football players by Dr. Bennet Omalu, beginning with former Pittsburgh Steelers player Mike Webster in 2002. Omalu says children who play tackle football are damaging their brains.
“It's just a fact,” he said.
Some lawmakers are trying to ban tackle football for children altogether. Last week in Illinois, Democratic state Rep. Carol Sente proposed prohibiting children younger than 12 from playing. New York Democratic Assemblyman Michael Benedetto has been trying to get a similar measure passed.
The new study, which was published in the journal Brain, examined the brains of four teenage athletes who had received closed head injuries one, two, 10 and 128 days before their deaths. Two died of suicide. Damage to the brain of one of the teenagers, a 17-year-old, qualified as early-stage CTE. Two of the brains had an abnormal accumulation of tau protein, which in CTE, forms clumps that spread slowly through the brain and kill brain cells.
“This is really, very profoundly disturbing,” Goldstein said.
The brains of four athletes of the same age who had not had recent head injuries did not show the same pathological changes, the research found.
The NFL’s chief medical officer, Dr. Allen Sills, said of the study: ”As highlighted in this recent study, repetitive hits to the head have been consistently implicated as a cause of CTE by this research group. How and why exactly this manifests, who is at risk, and why—these are questions that we as researchers and clinicians are working to answer.”
Earlier, McKee found CTE in the brains of 177 of 202 football players at all levels, and in 110 of 111 men who played in the NFL before they died. They ranged in age from 23 to 89 and had played in every position, from linemen to punters.

And another study released by researchers at the CTE Center in September found an association between participation in youth tackle football before the age of 12 and impaired mood and behavior later in life. Those who played tackle football before age 12 had twice the risk of apathy or acting out and three times the risk of depression, according to the study. The higher risk was independent of how long the 214 participants had played football, the number of concussions they had or whether they played through high school, college or professionally. The researchers said they chose age 12 as the cutoff because in boys, the brain undergoes key maturation between 10 and 12.
Researchers are still trying to determine how prevalent CTE is. They can detect it now only through autopsies — though they are working on identifying it in the living — and the brains donated for research did not represent a random sample. McKee has said that although researchers do not know the incidence among football players, that they could find as many cases as they have shows it is much more common than previously realized.
Dr. Robert Stern, the director of clinical research at the CTE Center, said that it was important to understand concussions, to diagnose them and keep children off the field when they have them. But if the disease is associated not with the big hits to the head, but to the routine sub-concussive hits, that is not enough, he said.
“Reducing concussions, or changing how tackling is done to avoid the big hits, is not going to get rid of the fundamental part of the game — which is getting your head hit, either directly with the helmet across the line of scrimmage or falling on the ground or getting by hit by a tackle and falling on the ground,” he said.
All of those things are part of every play, they are the nature of tackle football, he said.
The NFL and USA Football, the governing body of youth football, promote a NFL-funded program called Heads Up Football, which aims to reduce concussions by teaching safer tackling drills. The organizations said in July 2016 that the program had reduced concussions by about 30 percent and injuries by 76 percent, though a review by The New York Times found no demonstrable effect on concussions and less effect on injuries overall. USA Football responded that it had relied on preliminary data that had not been updated but later issued a statement standing behind the program.
The Pop Warner football league also has eliminated kickoffs, reduced the amount of contact time to 25 percent of practices, banned full-speed, head-on blocking or tacking drills where players are lined up more than three yards apart and removes players with head injuries or suspected concussions from the field. Its Hill Country Pop Warner League in Texas participated in a USA Football pilot program called Rookie Tackle, a transitional program between flag football and 11-player tackle football.
USA Football announced last year that it was introducing the new format, with smaller teams and smaller fields, among other changes.
Whether a child plays youth tackle football should be an individual choice, said Bailes of the Pop Warner Medical Advisory Committee. What would it take to convince him otherwise? In particular, evidence that safety measures that Pop Warner has implemented are not effective and the discovery of CTE in someone who had played only youth football, he said.
“There’s no convincing science that says kids shouldn’t play football if they want to,” he said.
Pop Warner is facing a lawsuit brought by two California mothers, Kimberly Archie and Jo Cornell, whose sons played football as children. After their deaths, their brains were donated to Boston University’s CTE Center and both were found to have CTE. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in California in 2016, accuses the Pop Warner of negligence and fraud.
Children playing organized tackle football is a relatively new phenomenon, Stern and others said. According to the Pop Warner football website, teams exploded across the United States in the 1960s, so that there were 3,000 teams by the end of the decade. Today, there are more than 5,000 teams. It started a flag football program in 1983, originally designed for teams on a tight budget.
Another flag football program was begun by New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who did not play tackle football until high school and whose sons play flag football. He and his marketing agent Chris Stuart, introduced a co-ed league called “Football ’N’ America,” in New Orleans, Carmel Valley, California, Nashville, Tennessee, and three other cities. It expects to expand to 20 to 25 markets, Stuart said.
Brees told The Times Picayune that not only was he uncomfortable with his children playing tackle football until middle school or older but he saw the flag football league as a chance to save the game.
The existence of flag football leagues is important if advocates expect to move more children into flag football, public health experts say.
“We know that even under the best of circumstances, our capacity to make a difference in changing behavior is relatively limited,” said Sandro Galea, the dean of the Boston University School of Public Health.
“If we’re serious about people having less exposure to head injury in the context of football, frankly what we need to do is not tell people to do something different, we need to change the danger itself and the danger itself is football and head injury,” he said.
Matthew Myers, the president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, notes that American society has upended its behavior as far as smoking, wearing seat belts and driving while drinking. He said he thought the United States was on the cusp of transformation again.
“The intensity of discussion, the breadth of the discussion, the increased awareness, all of which has happened all in the last five years,” he said. “You can never predict where things are going but we are in the early stages of something that shows every sign of a fundamental change.”
An article in USA Today last year noted that while there has been a steady drop overall in participation, in some areas of the country, in the South in particular, it is holding steady or even growing. Florida added 1,252 more boys playing 11-man football this year than last, the newspaper noted.
Daniel Durbin, a professor at the Annenberg Institute of Sports, Media and Society at the University of Southern California, said that the NFL has been most concerned with protecting its brand. The talk around the NFL used to be about the Super Bowl, now it is about concussions and brain damage, he said.
“Regardless of the state of research, it just seems to me it is common sense to not drop a young kid off at a field and have them put a big helmet and face mask on that makes them a bobble head and not feel pain when they hit their head, and say, 'Go at it,'” Stern said.
