Question: Gladstone Capital Corporation (GLAD) Stock Rating Reaffirmed by National Securities

Gladstone Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:GLAD)‘s stock had its “sell” rating restated by analysts at National Securities in a research note issued to investors on Monday. They presently have a $8.00 target price on the investment management company’s stock. National Securities’ target price would indicate a potential downside of 15.79% from the company’s previous close.
The analysts wrote, “• Gladstone’s fiscal 1Q17 NII/share of $0.21 matched consensus estimates but fell a penny short of our estimate. NIM (net investment margin) was up to 11.00% from 10.01% Q/Q largely from other income increasing to $1.3 million from $638,000 the quarter prior.
• The sale of RBC Acquisition and equity issuance in the quarter ended 12/31/16 permitted significant deleveraging of the balance sheet with D/E dropping to 0.44x from 0.66x linked Q/Q. In our opinion this should permit strong portfolio growth through fiscal 2017 and 2018 requiring a secondary offering in fiscal 3Q18.
• GLAD has the potential to lower funding costs during fiscal 2017 as its redeemable preferred stock can be redeemed after 6/30/17. The preferred issue has a 6.75% coupon contrasted with the total effective credit facility cost (including commitment fees) of 4.47% as of fiscal 1Q17.
• Economic return (changes in NAV/share plus dividends divided by beginning of period NAV/share) should improve to 4.6% in fiscal 2017 and 11.4% in fiscal 2018 as a result of a stabilized NAV/share and stable, out-earned distributions, in our opinion.
• We are maintaining our fiscal 2017 NII/share estimate of $0.86 and our fiscal 2018 NII/share estimate of $0.88.
“

Question: Titans QB Marcus Mariota game-time decision vs Dolphins

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

NASHVILLE — Tennessee quarterback Marcus Mariota will be a game-time decision for Sunday’s matchup against the Dolphins.
Mariota was listed Friday as questionable for the game in Miami after being limited in practice for the third consecutive day with a left hamstring injury suffered last week in a 57-14 loss at Houston.
“I’ve been able to get out there for a little bit, but the majority of practice I do a lot of rehab. My first and foremost goal is to get healthy, and that’s what I’ve been working on,” Mariota said Friday.
Mariota said he needs to have some mobility in order to be able to play. The Titans (2-2) are talking about letting him take part in Saturday’s walk-through. But a final decision might not be reached until 90 minutes before kickoff Sunday when the list of inactives is due.
“I think if I’m able to move around and am able to hand the ball off, and am able to drop back, then I’ll definitely play,” Mariota said. “It’s a tough decision. It’s a decision that was made this past Sunday in Houston. It’s never easy for an athlete. To that point, I’m going to do my best to get healthy, and hopefully, I’ll be ready to go.”
Titans coach Mike Mularkey said he didn’t want Mariota doing much in practice, preferring the quarterback to heal up.
“We’re not putting him to a point where he could make it any worse, so he actually feels pretty good right now,” Mularkey said.
If Mariota is unable to start, then backup Matt Cassel will start. He took the bulk of the first-team reps in practice this week after struggling last week coming off the bench. Cassel was intercepted twice with one returned for a touchdown and stripped of the ball when sacked.
Brandon Weeden, signed Tuesday as insurance, would be the backup if Mariota does not play.
Both wide receiver Corey Davis and safety Johnathan Cyprien as out again this week. Both players have missed multiple weeks with hamstring injuries of their own.

Some Dolphins notes on a Friday:
• Is any quarterback pounded more on social media than Jay Cutler? Check out some of the criticism on Twitter in the wake of last Sunday’s Saints debacle:
Former Bears center and current Chicago talk show host Olin Kreutz: “Matt Moore will start for the Dolphins before the year is over.”
• Former NFL running back and UM alum Jarrett Payton after a Cutler pick: “That’s the Jay Cutler I know.”
• ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith: “Awwww Damn! Another Sunday, another game Jay Cutler can’t get it done. I’m so surprised! I’m so surprised!”
• Michael Rapoport, of Barstool Sports tweeted to his 300,000 followers: “Smoking Jay Cutler hasn’t thrown a legit TD in two games. Bring in Kap now.”
• Fox Sport’s Shannon Sharpe, sarcastically: “Damn. If Cutler didn’t know the Dolphins offense…. Wish Kap knew that offense.”
• ESPN’s Michael Wilbon: “You trust your team to Cutler at this point, you get exactly what you deserve: nothing, losses, shutout.”
• And there was this highly critical piece by Bleacher Report’s Mike Freeman today.

NEWS AND NOTES
• Cornerback Xavien Howard (shoulder) said he’s fine and will play Sunday. Defensive tackle Jordan Phillips (ankle) also said he expects to play.
Howard, Phillips, Byron Maxwell, Terrence Fede and Mike Hull were all listed as questionable but all practiced fully Thursday.
• Tennessee Titans coach Mike Mularkey said quarterback Marcus Mariota (hamstring) will be a game-time decision Sunday. He’s listed as questionable. Matt Cassel is the backup.
Dolphins defensive end Andre Branch said the Dolphins are preparing to face Mariota.
“That’s the toughest thing when there’s an unknown here, especially with the differences in the two,” Adam Gase said. “If Marcus plays, it’s really an emphasis on one thing. If Matt plays, it probably changes for them.”
But Cam Wake said: “There’s a blank spot in the backfield. I will get there no matter who is there. Nameless, face.”

• If Gase decides to re-allocate playing time, tight end would be one potential position.
Through two games, Julius Thomas has 141 snaps, Anthony Fasano 63 and MarQueis Gray just nine.
“I don’t think I’ve had this low a rep count but I’m adapting in the role,” Fasano said.
Thomas has eight catches for 71 yards in three games and Pro Football Focus ranks him 70th of 71 tight ends as a run blocker.
• Julius Thomas said he will continue to kneel during the National Anthem.
Julius Thomas, Michael Thomas and Kenny Stills have kneeled for the anthem since President Donald Trump used a derogatory term to describe players who kneel for the anthem. Thomas was non-committal about kneeling Sunday.

Question: Tanzania: Ambitious New Plan Aims to Double Production of Coffee

Arusha — Coffee production in Tanzania could more than double in four years' time if an action programme to increase the competitiveness of small holder farmers is successfully implemented.
The ten-year programme launched in 2011/2012 aims to increase coffee production and quality from 50,000 tonnes a year by then to 150,000 tonnes in 2020/2021.
"It is the only way to achieve green revolution in coffee industry," said a report presented to stakeholders by the Tanzania Coffee Research Institute (TaCRI) during the just ended Nane Nane agricultural fair.
Besides increasing production of coffee beans, the programme aims to raise the income and improve the livelihoods of the growers scattered in different zones of the country.
"The challenge ahead of us is to meet the demand of hybrid seedlings needed for distribution and replanting of about 365,00 hectares," the report seen by The Citizen said.
In order to achieve this, TaCRI, a institution based at Lyamungo in Kilimanjaro and dedicated to coffee research, has released 15 arabica coffee high yielding and disease resistant varieties under its breeding programme.
Also released are four robusta coffee varieties for the growers of the crop in Kagera Region. The varieties are resistant to coffee wilt disease (CWD) and has excellent beverage quality.
Diseases notorious for attacking arabica coffee are coffee berry disease (CBD) and coffee leaf disease (CLD). Within East Africa, about 36 coffee pests have been reported.
Successful implementation of the programme will contribute to the financial sustainability of TaCRI which gets its annual income from cooperative unions and societies dealing with coffee processors and the private sector.
The institute has also been getting its funds from the government and donors, specifically the European Union (EU), the Endowment Fund for TaCRI and through collaborative activities.
The institution was set up in 2000 to rejuvenate the coffee industry through research and practical technological innovations.

Question: Many Kenyans go to work in capital despite call for stayaway

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

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Many residents of the Kenyan capital have returned to work despite a call by opposition leader Raila Odinga to stay at home to protest last week's disputed election in which President Uhuru Kenyatta was declared the winner.
However, many street stalls were closed Monday in the Nairobi slum of Mathare, an opposition stronghold where police battled rioters following the Aug. 8 election that Odinga said was fraudulent. The Kenyan election commission says its voting and counting process was not rigged and international observers have praised Kenya's handling of the election.
While tension has been reported in a few areas, the Nairobi police chief, Japheth Koome, says life is returning to normal.

A Kenyan human rights group says police fatally shot 24 people in election violence. Police deny it.

NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenya's opposition called on people to stay away from work on Monday in protest at last week's declared election result, but response to the call was limited with many businesses re-opening after being closed during the tense election period.
Many shops opened up again in the capital, Nairobi, and in the western town of Kisumu for the first time in days, and cars and buses were moving around on streets that had been deserted even before the result was announced of the Aug. 8 presidential election.
In Kibera, Nairobi's biggest slum where opposition support is strong, minibuses and taxis were also plying their trade through the rubble-strewn streets, and some food stalls and phone and money outlets opened their doors.
But residents there said most people were observing the opposition's call to stay away from work in protest over the vote which it says was rigged.
The election commission declared President Uhuru Kenyatta winner by 1.4 million votes. International observers said the vote was largely fair and a parallel tally by domestic monitors supported the outcome.
But protests erupted in opposition-supporting pockets of Nairobi and in Kisumu, where defeated opposition leader Raila Odinga has strong support.

Kenya is the economic motor of East Africa but most of its 45 million population rely on informal work to make ends meet.
Ken Nabwere, a Nairobi resident, said he had little choice but to return to work after days of inactivity even though he supported the opposition National Super Alliance (NASA) coalition which called the strike.
"I was supposed to vote and (leave) the rest to the politicians because if I was to boycott work today those guys don’t pay my bills," he told Reuters.
"I would advise others that unless you have permission from your boss, then you better go to work," he said.

"NASA is not going to pay for our bills, I don't think it's a good move to tell people not to go to work actually ... we have been out of business for us for one week," said university lecturer Samuel Mukoma.
"I think they should tell people, to go back to work and wait for their next move," he added.
Election commission figures showed Kenyatta won 54.3 percent of the vote, ahead of Odinga on 44.7 percent. Nearly 80 percent of the 19 million registered voters cast their ballots.
Though Odinga says the vote was fraudulent, his NASA coalition has ruled out going to court and says it will announce its strategy on Tuesday.
A Kenyan human rights group said 24 people were shot dead by police in the violence. The police have put the number of dead at six and said those killed were armed criminals who attacked officers who were attempting to arrest them.
The Kenya Red Cross said on Saturday it had treated 93 injured people.
Many in the Kibera quarter of Nairobi were backing NASA'S strike call. "It's only a small portion of people who are working. People need food and money," said 32-year-old community health volunteer Thomas Ogoni.
Business activity had largely resumed in Kisumu, with some supermarkets open and motorcycle taxi operators out and about.
But opposition supporters said they remained determined to overturn the result.
"Even if we don't work for one or two months, no problem. God will help our families survive, said Frederick Olando, a 34-year-old father of three in the western city of Kisumu. "We voted and we have to get our rights."

Question: Ants march into battle and rescue their wounded comrades

WASHINGTON Much like human soldiers in combat, members of a large, black, termite-eating ant species found in sub-Saharan Africa march in formation into battle and afterward retrieve wounded comrades and carry them back home to recover.
Scientists on Wednesday described the unique rescue behavior of the African Matabele ants, called Megaponera analis, after observing them in Ivory Coast's Comoé National Park, but did not ascribe charitable motives to the insects.
"This is not an altruistic behavior," said entomologist Erik Frank of the University of Würzburg in Germany, who led the research published in the journal Science Advances.
"The ants do not help the injured out of the goodness of their hearts. There is a clear benefit for the colony: these injured ants are able to participate again in future raids and remain a functioning member of the colony."
The ants, which get up to almost three-quarters of an inch (2 cm) long, specialize in hunting termites and use a distinctive raiding strategy.
Scouts leave the nest in search of termite-foraging sites, then recruit up to 500 nest mates and lead them to the termites in a column formation. Ants injured while fighting with termites, sometimes losing limbs or becoming disabled when termites cling to them, excrete pheromone chemicals from their bodies to signal comrades for help.
Uninjured ants then hoist up the wounded and carry them, as well as the dead termites, back to the nest in the same column formation, sometimes as far as about 165 feet (50 meters). Once back at the nest, other ants remove termites that may be grasping the injured ants. Ants that lost one or two of their six legs are able to adapt their locomotion, often regaining running speeds similar to a healthy ant within 24 hours.
Nearly all the rescued ants participated in subsequent raids, sometimes less than an hour after being injured.
Frank said he was surprised to find this behavior in an invertebrate species.
"It first sounded illogical to me why they should evolve this type of helping behavior," Frank said. "After a closer look, we realized that the good of the individual, saving the injured, can also be for the good of the colony, and that individuals can be very valuable in ants."
In addition to primates such as apes and monkeys, rescue behavior has been seen in certain other mammals including elephants, rats and dolphins, Frank said.

Question: Heat claims six in Montreal: health officials

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

Montreal health officials are blaming the heavy heat and humidity for at least six deaths in recent days.
Dr. Mylene Drouin told a news conference today the deaths have been investigated and are linked directly to the heat wave.
Drouin says the victims fit the profile of people authorities describe as at risk: those with chronic illness or mental-health problems, people who live alone and people without air conditioning at home.
She says there has also been a rise in the number of calls to ambulance services in recent days and that the city wants to avoid what happened in 2010, when intense heat claimed 106 lives.
In the Eastern Townships region southeast of Montreal, four deaths are under investigation to determine if they are related to the extreme heat. Authorities were expected to provide more details on Wednesday morning.
The oppressive weather has enveloped much of Central and Eastern Canada since the Canada Day long weekend.
Environment Canada says humidex readings were to be in the 40 Celsius range today from southwestern and northeastern Ontario through southern Quebec and into the Atlantic region.
The weather agency says a "very warm and humid air mass" has settled over the Maritimes and above normal temperatures and humid conditions will stick around into Thursday. Maritime temperatures are expected to return to seasonal normals for the weekend.
A hot and humid air mass is also entrenched over southern Quebec, with Tuesday's highs expected to be in the low 30s with a humidex reading between 35 and 40 C, also through Thursday.
Southern Quebec was rocked by violent storms on Monday, leaving thousands of homes and businesses without electricity, or air conditioning. Most of the outages were in the Outaouais region of western Quebec in addition to areas north and northeast of Montreal.

Question: Oil prices mixed amid worries over growing supplies

Represent the article to find a fitting news title!

A worker walks at the Sindbad oil field near the Iraqi-Iranian border in Basra Thomson Reuters TOKYO (Reuters) - Oil prices were mixed in early Asian trade on Wednesday, with worries that Saudi Arabia and Russia will pump more crude weighing on the market.
Saudi Arabia and Russia have discussed raising OPEC and non-OPEC oil production by 1 million barrels per day (bpd) to counter potential supply shortfalls from Venezuela and Iran.
Brent crude was down 1 cent at $75.38 a barrel by 0015 GMT, after settling up 9 cents on Tuesday.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was up 13 cents, or 0.2 percent, at $66.86 a barrel, having earlier settled down $1.15.
Credit Suisse analysts on Tuesday said even if Russia and OPEC producers raise output, they would likely only add an additional 500,000 bpd, which would leave inventories in the most developed countries short of the five-year average by the end of 2018.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries is due to meet in Vienna on June 22.
Falling stocks and a stronger U.S. dollar index also weighed on oil prices. U.S. stock markets sank more than 1 percent, while the dollar wobbled at a 10-month high against the euro. A stronger dollar makes greenback-denominated commodities more expensive for holders of other currencies.

Question: Kiwi female comedians tackle what not to say to someone with breast cancer

Cringe-worthy comments made to people diagnosed with breast cancer are being highlighted on World Cancer Day.
File picture. Source: istock.com
Breast Cancer Foundation NZ has released a video featuring comedians Urzila Carlson and Jackie Clarke acting out an awkward conversation between a newly diagnosed breast cancer patient and her friend.
"Women have been told they caused their own cancer by drinking from plastic bottles or carrying a cellphone near their breast; that they're lucky to be able to get a tummy tuck and a free 'boob job'; and that they can cure the cancer with turmeric," says Evangelia Henderson, chief executive at Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.
The video is based on feedback from real patients, and after demonstrating what not to say gives advice on how to be more helpful. The video can be seen on the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ YouTube page.
Mrs Henderson urges everyone to think before they speak, and avoid making a stressful situation worse.

‘I’d have a drink every day,’ says Paul McMullan, a comedian and recovering alcoholic.
Giving vegetables sexy names may make people more likely to eat healthily
‘But in an alcoholic’s mind, it’s never a problem.
‘I couldn’t wait to get into a pub. It didn’t seem wrong.’
Paul McMullan is the latest guest on our mental health podcast, Mentally Yours.
He talks about what it was like to grow up with alcoholic parents – and up becoming an alcoholic himself, his lowest points, his journey to recovery, and how to spot an alcoholic (if they’re always the last to leave the pub and always need to borrow a tenner, that’s a strong sign).
Paul grew up in Ireland, in a family where going to the pub was a marker of adulthood. It was ‘normal’ to be knocking back drinks, so it wasn’t until his children pointed it out that Paul realised he had an addiction.
He ended up going to AA, and found support in meditation, learning to be grateful, and doing standup comedy – and learning that drinking is a ‘symptom, not the underlying issue.’
Paul chats about all of this and lots more on this week’s podcast, which you can listen to above or through iTunes.
If you enjoy his episode, do give our previous episodes a listen, and check back next Monday for a new one. Oh, and give us a review on iTunes if you’re feeling generous. It’d be much appreciated.

Question: Coleman scores 22 and Texas upends No. 12 Oklahoma 79-74

PLAYERS OF THE DAY
Trae Young is the name everyone knew as No. 12 Oklahoma head to Austin to take on Texas, but it was another freshman point guard — Matt Coleman — who left as the star of the show.
Coleman finished with 22 points and a pair of assists, doing quite a bit of the work defensively on Young, who finished with 19 points and 14 assists but shot 7-for-22 from the floor and 2-for-14 from three.
It’s great to see Coleman playing well. Texas is trying to cope with the fact that one of the players on the roster (sophomore Andrew Jones) is in a battle with leukemia, and that means that more of the load has been hoisted upon Coleman. He’s answered the call.
So has Kerwin Roach, who finished with 19 points, four boards and four assists. He’s become arguably the best perimeter player for the Longhorns in recent weeks, scoring at least 16 points in five of the six games since returning from injury.
THE REST OF SATURDAY’S STARS
SHAMORIE PONDS, St. John’s : Ponds finished with 33 points — including a pair of massive shots in the final 75 seconds — as the Johnnies knocked off No. 4 Duke at home.

TEAM OF THE DAY
Oklahoma State desperately needed to win at No. 7 Kansas on Saturday if they wanted any chance of getting back to the NCAA tournament this season, and they did just that.
The Pokes were up by as many as 18 points in the first half, as the Jayhawks spent 40 minutes playing like they thought all they had to do to win at home was to show up. Kendall Smith led the way with 24 points, five boards and five assists for OSU while Cameron McGriff chipped in with 20 points.
This is the third game that Kansas has lost in Phog Allen this year. Bill Self entered the season having lost just 11 times in that building in his tenure with Kansas.
Kansas, on the other hand, is now tied with Texas Tech for first place in the Big 12.
GAME OF THE DAY
I don’t know how Indiana did it, but somehow they shot 28.8 percent from the floor and 4-for-19 from three and still managed to have a potential game-tying heave at the buzzer bounce off the back of the rim.
The Spartans got up double-figures early and seemed to throw this thing into cruise control. The Hoosiers slowly but surely chipped away, creating another mind-bending stat: Michigan State, with the biggest front line in college basketball, finished with 29 total rebounds and just three offensive boards on Saturday while Indiana had 25 offensive rebounds despite starting a front line that stands 6-foot-6 and 6-foot-8.
The final score ended up being 63-60 despite Michigan State’s best efforts to give this one away.
WTF???? OF THE DAY
St. John’s entered Saturday having lost 11 straight games.
It is February, and the Red Storm do not own a single win in the Big East. It’s been something of a disaster for Chris Mullin, one that has him fully on the hot seat.
So obviously, with No. 4 Duke coming to town, the Johnnies … played their best game of the year?
Shamorie Ponds popped off for 33 points while Bashir Ahem added 19 points and Tariq Owens chipped in with 17 as St. John’s erased a seven-point halftime deficit to beat the Blue Devils. Duke was absolutely torched by Mike Krzyzewski after the game — and deservedly so — which has me asking: How is a team as talented as Duke is so reliant on Marvin Bagley III?
WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?
Remember when we thought that No. 21 Kentucky making that thrilling comeback and winning at West Virginia would be the turning point in their season? LOL. After needing overtime to beat Vanderbilt at home during the week, the Wildcats lost at Missouri in a game were the Tigers were more or less in control throughout. Kentucky was a trainwreck in the first half, digging themselves too big of a hole to dig out of. Kassius Robertson had 16 points and four assists to lead the way for Mizzou.
Whatever funk No. 10 Texas Tech was in earlier this year, they are out of it now. The Red Raiders won their fourth straight game on Saturday, knocking off TCU at TCU. The final score was 83-71, but it really wasn’t that close.
Whatever funk No. 15 West Virginia was in the last three weeks, they look to be out of it now. The Mountaineers beat Kansas State by 38 points.
The two best teams in the SEC continue to be No. 18 Tennessee and No. 11 Auburn. The Volunteers absolutely smashed Ole Miss on Saturday, eventually winning by 33 points, while the Tigers held off Vanderbilt at home. It’s a shame these two teams already played this season. It didn’t get near the fan fare it deserved.
Deandre Hunter had 15 points and six assists off the bench for No. 2 Virginia as they knocked off Syracuse, 59-44.
Corey Sanders went for 31 points, seven boards and three assists, but it wasn’t enough as No. 3 Purdue beat Rutgers in Piscataway, 78-76.
No. 19 North Carolina got back to their winning ways, snapping a three-game losing streak against Pitt. The most noteworthy part? Theo Pinson was healthy, finished with 13 points and eight assists and played as the back-up point guard.
Jacob Evans had 19 points as No. 8 Cincinnati knocked off UConn in Hartford.
Isaiah Washington did everything he could — 26 points in total — to get Minnesota a win in Ann Arbor, but it was not meant to be. No. 24 Michigan won 76-73 in overtime.

Question: AP Interview: Iran says if US exits deal, it likely will too

NEW YORK (AP) — Iran’s top diplomat warned the Trump administration on Tuesday that a U.S. withdrawal from the nuclear deal would undermine talks with North Korea by proving that America reneges on its promises, telling The Associated Press that Iran would “most likely” abandon the deal as well.
In a wide-ranging interview, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said his country would no longer be bound by international obligations imposed as part of the landmark 2015 accord, freeing up Iran to resume enrichment far beyond the deal’s strict limits. He said any move by President Donald Trump to re-impose sanctions lifted under the deal would “amount to basically killing the deal.”
“If the United States were to withdraw from the nuclear deal, the immediate consequence in all likelihood would be that Iran would reciprocate and withdraw,” Zarif said. He added: “There won’t be any deal for Iran to stay in.”
As Trump prepares for a high-stakes summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un aimed at resolving nuclear weapons concerns, Zarif emphasized that U.S. credibility was at stake. He said Iran would welcome lower tensions on the Korean Peninsula, but that Trump was showing the world that the U.S. is “not a trustworthy, reliable negotiating partner.”
“They’re prepared to take everything that you’ve given, then renege on the promises that they have made in the deal,” Zarif said. “That makes the United States a rather unlikely partner in any international agreement.”
Iran has been working feverishly to frame Trump’s expected withdrawal as a major blot on the United States, just as America’s closest allies in Europe try to persuade the president not to rip it up. As Zarif spoke in New York on Tuesday, Trump was meeting at the White House with French President Emmanuel Macron, who has been leading an effort by France, Britain and Germany to find “fixes” to the deal that would satisfy Trump’s objections.
Few expect such a solution can be found by May 12, the date on which Trump has said he’ll leave the deal if there’s no fix agreed to with the Europeans. U.S. and European officials say they’ve made major progress on two of Trump’s demands — on nuclear inspections and Iran’s ballistic missiles program. But talks have stalemated on Trump’s third demand: that the deal be extended in perpetuity, rather than letting restrictions on Tehran to “sunset” after several years.
“No one knows what I’m going to do on the 12th, although Mr. President, you have a pretty good idea,” Trump said, referring to Macron. He said if he does withdraw, he would look to see “if it will be possible to do a new deal with solid foundations, because this is a deal with decayed foundations.”
In a bleak warning to Tehran, Trump added that if Iran ever threatens the United States, “they will pay a price like few countries have ever paid.”
Iran has outright rejected any changes to the deal, arguing that it’s unfair to impose more demands beyond what Tehran agreed to already. Trump’s strategy relies on the assumption that if the U.S. and the Europeans unilaterally agree to new demands, Iran will back down and voluntarily comply in order to continue enjoying the benefits. Under the 2015 deal brokered by President Barack Obama and world powers, Iran agreed to nuclear restrictions in exchange for billions in sanctions relief.
And even if a so-called add-on deal with the Europeans is achieved, there is no guarantee it will satisfy Trump. His closest aides have said they can’t predict with certainty what conditions would be enough to keep him in the pact.
Iran has long insisted its nuclear program was peaceful and not oriented toward building weapons. Yet in the interview, Zarif suggested that those concerned that Tehran was racing toward a bomb would have much more to fear if it were no longer bound by limits on its enrichment and processing.
“It would be a completely different situation, from the perspective of those who made a lot of noise about Iran’s nuclear program to begin with,” he said.
He also pointed out that if Trump upends the nuclear deal, Iran could also choose to leave the global Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which is aimed at stopping the spread of nuclear weapons. Iran signed that treaty decades ago, and though Zarif said Iran’s government isn’t advocating an exit, it is “one of the options that is being advocated by some” in Iran.
Zarif spoke to the AP at the official residence of Iran’s ambassador to the U.N., alongside Central Park. The top Iranian diplomat is in the United States this week on a long-shot bid to try to salvage the deal, while laying the groundwork for the United States to bear the blame on the global stage if Trump ultimately pulls out.
Addressing the conflict in Yemen, he said Iran is urging “everybody” to stop attacking civilian areas — including the Houthis. The Iran-backed Shiite rebels control much of Yemen and have been lobbing missiles at Saudi Arabia, which is leading a coalition fighting the Houthis with support from the U.S.
The United States and others insist that Iran is illicitly funneling missiles and other weapons to the Houthis, a charge that Tehran has repeatedly denied. U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley has paraded missile parts ostensibly recovered in Saudi Arabia in front of reporters and U.N. Security Council diplomats, arguing that they bear markings and other characteristics proving their Iranian origin.
“I’m not saying Ambassador Haley is fabricating, but somebody is fabricating the evidence she is showing,” Zarif said.
As Trump pushes to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria as soon as possible, Zarif gave no signs that Iran plans to do the same. The Iranian military advisers and Iran-backed Shiite militias aiding Syrian President Bashar Assad are a profound concern for the United States and its closest Mideast ally, Israel.
“We are there as long as that objective needs our presence, and as long as the Syrian government asks us to be there,” Zarif said.

Trump’s sharp comments came shortly after Iranian president Hassan Rouhani reportedly warned of “severe consequences” if the administration “betrays the deal.”
“I am telling those in the White House that if they do not live up to their commitments … the Iranian government will firmly react,” he said, according to Reuters. “If anyone betrays the deal, they should know that they would face severe consequences.”

Shortly after the pomp and pageantry of Trump’s first official state visit began on Tuesday, his split with Macron on the Iran nuclear deal was on display.
The White House has hoped to enlist European allies in new negotiations with Iran, but Europeans are pushing back on the idea of canceling the agreement, saying it would alienate Iran and prompt it to go rogue. Macron believes it would be a mistake to end the deal.
“We made this terrible deal, but we’re going to discuss it,” Trump said.
In May, Trump will once again have to decide whether to recertify the Iran deal to Congress. If he doesn’t, he could begin the process to reversing the deal. Iran has threatened to resume enrichment activities if the deal collapses.
Macron said Tuesday the Iran deal needed to be discussed in the broader context of the region.
“We have a common objective,” Macron said. “We want to make sure there’s no escalation and no nuclear proliferation in the region. We now need to find the right path forward.”

Question: 3 Trump accusers speak out, call for congressional probe

WASHINGTON (AP) — Three women who have previously accused President Donald Trump of sexual harassment are sharing their stories on NBC’s “Megyn Kelly Today.”
Jessica Leeds, Samantha Holvey and Rachel Crooks on Monday told of alleged harassment by Trump spanning decades.
The White House called the claims false and “totally disputed in most cases.” It said “the timing and absurdity of these false claims speak volumes.”
One of the accusers, Rachel Crooks, called the White House statement “laughable.”

Crooks says of sexual misconduct: “I think politicians seem to be immune to this.”
The women, who first shared their stories before the November 2016 election, were holding a press conference later Monday to call for a congressional investigation into Trump’s alleged behavior.

Question: In Germany, Churchgoers Are Encouraged To Tweet From The Pews

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

In Germany this year, the Protestant church is celebrating 500 years since Martin Luther brought about the Reformation. Today, as the number of churchgoers dwindles, the clergy is turning to new media to appeal to those with little time to attend worship in person.
In the eastern city of Magdeburg, the monotone peal of a single church bell calls a modest flock of parishioners to evening prayers at the Walloon Reformed Church of St. Augustine.
As the faithful file into a High Gothic church where Martin Luther once delivered a sermon, most fumble around in handbags and pockets, looking for their cellphones.
But instead of dutifully switching off their phones and putting them away on this Friday evening, these 40 or so churchgoers take a pew and bow their heads over their lit-up devices as if they were prayer books.
This is a Twitter service, where the congregation is encouraged to tweet about the liturgy and share their prayers online.
Pastor Ralf Peter Reimann says it's an experiment. He believes that social media can help the Protestant church retain and even gain followers, even in today's increasingly secular society.
"There are lots of people who live online," he says. "We want to include these people and offer them to participate in a way that's comfortable to them."
While Reimann preaches from behind the lectern, a chorus of young parishioners perching in the choir stalls tweets about his sermon. Above them, a large screen displays a hash-tagged feed which, in real time, shows tweets coming from both within the church and from around Germany.
"Luther talked about the priesthood of all believers," Reimann says. "So if you use social media, it's not only the pastor communicating on behalf of the church, but Christians communicating among each other."
Although such Twitter services are yet to catch on, embracing the latest media trend is nothing new for Protestants.
Five-hundred years ago, when Martin Luther first protested against corruption in the Catholic Church, it was the then relatively new printing press that helped his challenge to papal authority to "go viral."
Luther's supporters printed his radical ideas in pamphlets. Cheap to produce and easy to distribute, these pamphlets fostered public debate.
Ulrike Zitzlsperger, a professor of German studies at the University of Exeter in England, says the 16th century pamphlet was the social media of Luther's day.
"I think the parallels with the use of Twitter today are really strong," Zitzlsperger says. "You've got a topic that engages not just an educated public but really the wider public, the lay people. Everybody has a say."
Luther's followers shared these pamphlets and responded to them by printing their own. These Twitter-like discussions spread so rapidly that the Catholic Church could do little to censor what it called heresy.
Today though, it's no longer dissent but disinterest that threatens the Christian church in Europe.
Back in Magdeburg, the Twitter service is in full swing. Messages from around Germany, where dozens of others participated, are displayed on the church's interactive screen in front of the altar.
Some posts are encouraging, like the one from a Twitter user who tweets in German, "We all make mistakes. God will show us the right way."
Some users share their private prayers, like one who posts: "I pray for the unborn child in my belly and that it is blessed with good health."
Other users are less convinced. "Sorry, this is too hectic," one writes. "I go to church to find inner peace. I'm signing off."
It's also too much for 86-year-old Ingeborg Brunner, who tiptoes out of church before the Twitter service is over. Brunner doesn't own a smartphone, so she feels somewhat left out.
"It was certainly interesting, but it's not my cup of tea" Brunner admits. "I'm a little old for Twitter. I prefer a proper service, when we get to sing hymns."
While Brunner says she's pleased the church is appealing to the digitally devout, regular churchgoers like her would rather sing than tweet.
After all, congregational singing is another major legacy of the Reformation.

Question: Eight elected in loaded Pro Football Hall of Fame 2018 class

The Pro Football Hall of Fame has a large contingent heading to Canton, Ohio, later this year, as wide receiver Randy Moss, wide receiver Terrell Owens, linebacker Brian Urlacher, safety Brian Dawkins, linebacker Ray Lewis, guard Jerry Kramer, linebacker Robert Brazile and Bobby Beathard made up the star-studded class of 2018 elected on Saturday.
Scroll for more content...
The group was announced during the taping of NFL Honors, a two-hour prime-time awards special held at the Cyrus Northrop Memorial Auditorium at the University of Minnesota. The group will be enshrined in Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in August.
Moss is the first wide receiver to be elected in his first year on the ballot since Jerry Rice. In his career, which spanned 14 seasons, Moss had 982 receptions for 15,292 yards and 156 touchdowns and led the NFL in touchdown receptions five times. He also set the NFL record with 23 touchdown receptions in 2007 with the Patriots.
"I started this game at 6 years old and never imagined that I'd be here, putting on a Hall of Fame jacket," Moss said.
Owens, a previous snub, made it in his third year of eligibility. He noticeably was absent from NFL Honors on Saturday, opting instead, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, to play basketball in Los Angeles.
"He was very calm, very respectful and kind of humble about it," Pro Football Hall of Fame President David Baker said when describing Owens' reaction when he got the phone call.
After a 16-year career, Owens finished with 1,078 receptions for 15,934 yards -- the second-highest yardage total in NFL history -- and 153 touchdowns, the third most. He also led the NFL in TD catches three times.
Owens previously had voiced his displeasure at not being elected, tweeting this time last year, "HOF is a total joke" when he didn't get in. This year, though, Owens celebrated with a post on Instagram, reading, "CONGRATS to the HOF CLASS OF 2018. We're GOLDEN!"
Lewis: 'I want to go fishing with a cigar'
Lewis, a first-time finalist, played for the Baltimore Ravens from 1996 to 2012. He was twice named AP defensive player of the year and won two Super Bowls, earning MVP honors in Super Bowl XXXV.
"Now I can finally rest," Lewis said. "I want to go fishing with a cigar now and just sit back. I don't want to work out every day now."
Another first-time finalist, Urlacher spent his entire career with the Chicago Bears from 2000 to 2012. He won a defensive rookie of the year award and in 2005 was named defensive player of the year.
"I'm glad I didn't have to vote, because it would be really hard to pick," Urlacher said.
Dawkins, in his second year of eligibility, was a safety with the Eagles and the Denver Broncos, spanning 16 seasons. He helped the Eagles to eight playoff appearances and was a nine-time Pro Bowler. He is the first player in NFL history to record a sack, interception, fumble recovery and touchdown catch in same game, when he did it against the Houston Texans on September 29, 2002.
Dawkins called it "extremely gratifying" to be elected the same year the Eagles are in the Super Bowl.
"That's huge," Dawkins said. "That goes above anything I can think about besides being able to now call myself a Hall of Famer."
Kramer: 'It's something I was afraid to believe in'
Kramer, a senior finalist, played from 1958 to 1968, anchoring the offensive line of the Vince Lombardi-era Green Bay Packers. The right guard is remembered for a key block that made way for Bart Starr's game-winning touchdown in the famous "Ice Bowl." In his 45th year of eligibility, this was his 11th time as a finalist.
"There were 10 times I was waiting for a knock on the door that didn't come, so there wasn't a great deal of confidence that it was going to happen this time," Kramer said.
The first time he heard a knock Saturday? "It's the maid," he said. "So we gather ourselves."
The knock from Baker came later. "I was over the top," Kramer said. "It's something I was afraid to believe in, was afraid to hope for."
A first-time finalist, Brazile, a linebacker from 1975 to 1984 with the Houston Oilers, also was a senior finalist. He was selected to seven Pro Bowls and held the team record with 147 consecutive games played.
"I want to say thank you," Brazile said. "To the selection committee, thank you all."
Beathard: 'Never really had it as a goal'
Beathard, a contributor finalist, is a former NFL general manager. Teams he worked for reached seven Super Bowls and won four.
"I worked all the years in the league and I never really had that as a goal or anything," Beathard said on the phone to reporters. "Never thought much about it. ... It's a real honor. I never dreamed about being in (the Hall of Fame)."
There were 18 finalists for this year's class, 15 of which are from the modern era. Of the 15, four were first-time finalists.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame's current bylaws stipulate that between four and eight new members are to be chosen each year. No more than five modern-era finalists can be elected in a given year.
To be eligible, modern-era players and coaches must have last played or coached more than five seasons ago. Contributors do not need to be retired to be eligible. Senior finalists are determined by the Seniors Committee, which reviews the qualifications of those players whose careers ended more than 25 years ago.
To be elected, a finalist must receive a minimum positive vote of 80% during the annual selection meeting. This year's class was selected by a 48-person selection committee.
Tom Brady named NFL MVP
In addition to the Hall of Fame announcement, the NFL and the Associated Press named their annual award winners at NFL Honors. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, at age 40, was named NFL MVP.
The Los Angeles Rams had an impressive showing, with running back Todd Gurley earning offensive player of the year, defensive tackle Aaron Donald winning defensive player of the year and Sean McVay named coach of the year. The Saints swept rookie-of-the-year honors with running back Alvin Kamara on offense and cornerback Marshon Lattimore on defense.
The Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year went to Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, who raised more than $37 million for people affected by Hurricane Harvey.

Jerry Kramer, who played 11 seasons (1958-68) for the Green Bay Packers and was a member of teams that won five NFL championships and two Super Bowls, was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a senior candidate.
It was Kramer's 11th nomination to get into the exclusive group. He was a Seniors Committee finalist in 1997, but he did not get enough votes to gain admission.
The announcement was made today by the Hall of Fame’s selection committee in Minneapolis.
Kramer is the 25th member of the Packers to be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Kramer will be inducted in Canton, Ohio, on August 4.

WASHINGTON — Reality TV star Kim Kardashian West is at the White House to make a star-powered case for prison reform and advocate on behalf of a woman serving a life sentence for drug offenses.
Kardashian West has urged the president to pardon Alice Marie Johnson, 63, who has spent more than two decades behind bars and is not eligible for parole.
She arrived at the White House just after 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, dressed in all-black, for a meeting with Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, who oversees the administration’s push to overhaul the nation’s prison system. A rare A-list celebrity to visit the White House since Trump took office, Kardashian West was seen posing for photos in front of the West Wing before entering.
Attorney Brittany K. Barnett, a member of Johnson’s legal team, said Kardashian West also hoped to meet with Trump to discuss the case.
In an interview with Mic, Kardashian West said she’d been moved by Johnson’s story after seeing a video by the news outlet on Twitter.
“I think that she really deserves a second chance at life,” Kardashian told Mic. “I’ll do whatever it takes to get her out.”
Kardashian West said in the interview she’d been in touch with Kushner over the case.
“I’ve been in communication with the White House and trying to bring her case to the president’s desk and figure out how we can get her out,” she said of Johnson.
It’s unclear whether Kardashian West will meet with Trump, though the president often invites visitors to the White House into the Oval Office for informal meetings and photo ops.
She told Mic that if she had the chance to meet the president, she’d tell him, “I really do believe that she’s going to really thrive outside of prison, and I would just urge him to please pardon her.”
Trump last week granted a rare posthumous pardon to boxing’s first black heavyweight champion, clearing Jack Johnson’s name more than 100 years after what many saw as his racially charged conviction.
The boxer’s pardon had been championed by actor Sylvester Stallone, who brought the story to Trump’s attention in a spring phone call.
Trump has issued just a handful of pardons, including one for former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a staunch campaign supporter; one for Scooter Libby, who served as chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney; and one for a U.S. Navy sailor convicted of taking photos of classified portions of a submarine.
Kardashian West supported Trump’s rival, Democrat Hillary Clinton, during the 2016 election. But her husband, rapper Kanye West, recently offered his support for Trump in a series of tweets, saying they both share “dragon energy.” Kardashian West defended her husband when he caught flak on social media for his tweets.
West also paid a visit to the then-president-elect in New York before his inauguration. Trump said they talked about “life” as they posed for photos in the lobby of Trump Tower. West has said he didn’t vote in the presidential election, but if he had, he would have cast a ballot for Trump.
The White House declined to comment on the visit. Trump has talked about the need to get tougher on drug dealers, including suggesting that some should receive the death penalty. Kardashian West appeared to preview the visit on her Twitter feed, writing: “Happy Birthday Alice Marie Johnson. Today is for you.”
Johnson was convicted in 1996 on eight criminal counts related to a Memphis-based cocaine trafficking operation involving more than a dozen people. The 1994 indictment describes dozens of deliveries and drug transactions, many involving Johnson.
She was sentenced to life in prison in 1997, and appellate judges and the U.S. Supreme Court have rejected her appeals. Court records show she has a motion pending for a reduction in her sentence, but federal prosecutors are opposed, saying in a court filing that the sentence is in accord with federal guidelines, based on the large quantity of drugs involved. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Memphis did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday afternoon.
A criminal justice advocacy site, CAN-DO, and one of Johnson’s attorneys say a request for clemency was rejected by former President Barack Obama. The reasons are unclear.
A 1997 Associated Press story on Johnson’s sentencing said she headed up a multimillion-dollar drug ring. But Memphis attorney Michael Scholl, who filed the latest court documents in her request for a sentence reduction, said she was not a leader in the cocaine operation.
“What is the purpose of putting a lady with no prior criminal record, on a nonviolent drug offense, in jail for her entire life?” he said in a telephone interview. “She’s a model inmate.”
Scholl added that Johnson has admitted her wrongdoing, which is borne out in letters she has written to U.S. District Judge Samuel H. Mays, who now oversees her case.
“Judge Mays I’m writing to you to express my deep remorse for the crime that I committed over 20 years ago. I made some bad choices which have not only affected my life, but have impacted my entire family,” she said in a February 2017 letter in the court record.
In a hand-scrawled letter last June she wrote: “I’m a broken woman. More time in prison cannot accomplish more justice.”
Associated Press writers Zeke Miller in Washington and Kevin McGill in New Orleans contributed to this report.

Are the Kardashians taking on D.C. next?! Kourtney Kardashian arrived at the nation’s capital for a meeting with Congress on April 22 — but don’t expect her to take a job in the White House or anything! Here’s what’s up.
No, Kourtney Kardashian is not making a career move into politics! However, she is in Washington D.C. this week for a cause close to her heart. The 39-year-old reportedly has a meeting with Congress on April 24, where she’ll push for laws regarding cosmetic and personal care products to be reformed, according to TMZ. Kourt has made no secret of her environmentally-friendly lifestyle, and TMZ reports that she’s working with the Environmental Working Group on getting these regulations put in place. The mom of three’s trip to the capital will reportedly be filmed by Keeping Up With The Kardashians cameras.
This meeting comes on the same day that Kourtney’s makeup collaboration with Kylie Jenner is being released, following days of social media campaigning from both sisters. Kylie previously collaborated with Kim and Khloe Kardashian on collections for her makeup line, so it only made sense for Kourtney to be the next in line. Perhaps working on this collection is what helped push Kourtney to become so passionate about creating healthy and safe products!?
Kourtney recently celebrated her 39th birthday, and she kicked off her 40th year in quite an epic way! First, her boyfriend, Younes Bendjima, surprised her with a romantic, overnight airstream trip. Then, she was joined by her closest girlfriends for a fairly intimate bash, where they documented themselves dancing, singing and eating cake on social media.
Earlier this month, Kourtney joined Kim for a trip to Turks and Caicos, which was cut short when they rushed to Cleveland to be with Khloe for the birth of her first child. She also attended the first weekend of Coachella with Kylie. Things do not seem to be slowing down for this hot mama anytime soon!

Question: Acclaimed poet disputes allegations of lifted material

Represent this text to find a news title for it

NEW YORK — An acclaimed poet and editor says she will correct any errors in her current book after a critic alleged she had improperly lifted material.
Jill Bialosky said in a statement Thursday that she had "inadvertently" used "fragments" from "common biographical sources" for her memoir "Poetry Will Save Your Life." On Wednesday, William Logan alleged in a post on the Tourniquet Review that Bialosky took passages from Wikipedia and other websites without crediting them. One example showed a close resemblance between a section in her book on the poet Robert Lowell and an excerpt from Lowell's Wikipedia page.
"William Logan has extracted a few ancillary and limited phrases from my 222-page memoir that inadvertently include fragments of prior common biographical sources and tropes after a multiyear writing process," Bialosky said in a statement released through her publisher, Atria Books. "This should not distract from the thesis of this book, which derives from my own life, my experiences and observations. I will, of course, correct any errors that are found for future editions of the book."
Atria itself issued a statement defending the book and saying any errors would be fixed.

Question: Most people in B.C. too ‘lazy,’ ‘apathetic’ to prepare for disasters: poll

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

Less than half of those surveyed aren’t insured for earthquakes and wildfires
An example of an emergency preparedness kit. (City of Victoria photo)
British Columbians have no one to blame but themselves for not being ready for an emergency, a survey commissioned by the provincial government suggests.
Fifty-four per cent of the more than 1,200 respondents said they have a draft emergency plan, according to results released Monday suggest, but only 13 per cent of them have actually completed one.
Emergency kits were also lacking around the province: Only four in 10 people have one in their car, and only three in 10 have one ready at home.
And there’s no good reason why: most people cited “personal laziness” and “apathy.”
Most British Columbians had some emergency supplies, but key items were lacking.
Only 60 per cent had prepared at least four litres of water per person per day, and less than half had cash in small bills, a battery-powered or hand-crank radio, a whistle or a dust mask.
If the worst did happen, most people weren’t prepared to rebuild, either.
Around half of people living in Metro Vancouver and on Vancouver Island were insured against earthquakes, and less than half of southern Interior and northern residents were covered for wildfires.
All around, most people admitted they didn’t really understand how their insurance worked or what it covered.

New survey says one-fifth of respondents are even changing up their summer plans
Two-thirds of British Columbians say the high gas prices are making them change their habits, according to a new poll released Wednesday
Prices at the pump have been hovering around 160 cents a litre for weeks now, and show no signs of dropping.
Nearly half of those surveyed by by Insights West said they’ve reduced the number of times they use the car and 38 per cent said they’ve reduced the distance they’re driving.
And it’s not just driving: one-third of respondents said they’ve have cut how much they spend on entertainment and food to cover higher fuel costs.

More than half told pollsters they thought gas prices were a “very serious” concern.
Many British Columbians were pessimistic about the ever-increasing gas expense. Forty-three per cent said they thought higher prices were the new normal and almost three-quarters believed prices would be even higher by July.
It’s even having an effect on summer plans: 20 per cent of people said they’ve changed their activities to rely less on cars.
Only three per cent said they’ve spoken to their MP or MLA on the issue.

Question: New evacuations as huge Southern California fire flares up

represent this text to find a news title for it

Los Angeles (AP) — A powerful flare-up on the western edge of Southern California’s largest and most destructive wildfire sent residents fleeing Sunday, as wind-fanned flames churned through old-growth brush in canyons and along hillsides toward coastal towns.
Crews with help from a fleet water-dropping planes and helicopters saved homes as unpredictable gusts sent the blaze deeper into residential foothill areas northwest of Los Angeles that haven’t burned in decades. New evacuations were ordered as the fire sent up an enormous plume near Montecito and Carpinteria, seaside areas in Santa Barbara County that had been under fire threat for days and were now choked with smoke.
“The winds are kind of squirrely right now,” said county fire spokesman Mike Eliason. “Some places the smoke is going straight up in the air, and others it’s blowing sideways. Depends on what canyon we’re in.”
The department posted a photo of one residence engulfed in flames. It’s unclear whether other structures burned. Thousands of homes and businesses in the county were without power.
The air thick with acrid smoke, even residents of areas not under evacuation orders took the opportunity to leave, fearing another shutdown of U.S. 101, a key coastal highway that was closed intermittently last week. Officials handed out masks to residents who stayed behind in Montecito, the wealthy hillside enclave that’s home to celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Jeff Bridges and Rob Lowe.
“Our house is under threat of being burned,” Ellen DeGeneres tweeted at midday Sunday. “We just had to evacuate our pets. I’m praying for everyone in our community and thankful to all the incredible firefighters.”
A few miles to the west, Santa Barbara Zoo was closed to the public and its 500 animals confined to their night quarters all day. The zoo was just outside the evacuation area, but smoke and ash blew through the 30-acre property.
Firefighters made significant progress Saturday on other fronts of the enormous fire that started Dec. 4 in neighboring Ventura County. As containment increased on other major blazes in Los Angeles, Riverside and San Diego counties, resources from those fires were diverted to the Santa Barbara foothills.
Forecasters said Santa Ana winds that whipped fires across the region last week would continue in some areas at least through Monday.
A lack of rain has officials on edge statewide because of parched conditions and no end in sight to the typical fire season.
“This is the new normal,” Gov. Jerry Brown warned Saturday after surveying damage from the deadly Ventura fire. “We’re about ready to have firefighting at Christmas. This is very odd and unusual.”
High fire risk is expected to last into January and the governor and experts said climate change is making it a year-round threat.
Overall, the fires have destroyed about 800 homes and other buildings, killed dozens of horses and forced more than 200,000 people to flee flames that have burned over 270 square miles (700 square kilometers) since Dec. 4. One death, so far, a 70-year-old woman who crashed her car on an evacuation route, is attributed to the fire in Santa Paula, a small city where the fire began.
The Ventura County blaze also continued to burn into rugged mountains in the Los Padres National Forest near the little town of Ojai and toward a preserve established for endangered California condors.
Ojai experienced hazardous levels of smoke at times and officials warned of unhealthy air for large swaths of the region. The South Coast Air Quality Management District urged residents to stay indoors if possible and avoid vigorous outdoor activities.
As fires burned in Ventura and Los Angeles counties, firefighters were already in place north of San Diego on Thursday when a major fire erupted and rapidly spread in the Fallbrook area, known for its avocado groves and horse stables in the rolling hills.
The fire swept through the San Luis Rey Training Facility, where it killed more than 40 elite thoroughbreds and destroyed more than 100 homes — most of them in a retirement community. Three people were burned trying to escape the fire that continued to smolder Sunday.
Most of last week’s fires were in places that burned in the past, including one in the ritzy Los Angeles neighborhood of Bel-Air that burned six homes and another in the city’s rugged foothills above the community of Sylmar and in Santa Paula.

At least four people have died in the dangerous heatwave that's gripping the US. Nick Marshak (pictured), 30, died from a heat stroke he suffered while running a race
The dangerous heat wave that's scorching most of the United States has been blamed for at least four deaths as more than 103 million Americans are warned to stay inside and keep cool.
Health officials are investigating two deaths that may be heat-related in Kansas City, Missouri.
The victims have not been identified, but authorities said one of the victims was a 83-year-old man and the other a 46-year-old woman.
On Saturday, Cheryl Snyder, 64, of Pennsylvania, went into cardiac arrest while working in her garden. The woman died a short time later a local hospital.
In Wilmington, New York, Nick Marshak, 30, died of a heat stroke he suffered while running a race.
Essex County Coroner Frank Whitelaw said the man's internal temperature reached 108 degrees, damaging his brain. Temperatures were in the 90s Sunday.
'When your brain becomes overheated like that, it can't function any more,' Whitelaw said.
On Tuesday, New Jersey Rep Bill Pascrell, was escorted from the fire headquarters in Englewood after nearly collapsing during a news conference to announce legislation. Temperatures reached the mid 90s in New Jersey on Tuesday.
The Fourth of July holiday isn't providing any relief from the intense heat wave stretching from the Midwest to the Northeast
Virtually the entire country will experience high temperatures starting in at least the mid-80s on Independence Day
The Fourth of July holiday isn't providing any relief from the intense heat wave stretching from the Midwest to the Northeast.
Meteorologists said residents in communities through the eastern half of the country can expect to see high temperatures past 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
The nighttime will unfortunately be almost as uncomfortable, with lows failing to dip below the mid-to-lower 70s.
Weather experts from the National Weather Service said the heat wave is expected to move west after the Fourth of July, bringing dangerous temperatures as far as southern California.
The seven-day heat wave, which the NWS said occurs approximately once every 33 years, began in New York on Saturday.
Parts of New England experienced record-setting temperatures over the weekend, said Dan Petersen, an NWS meteorologist.
For the Fourth of July holiday, Petersen warned people celebrating outside to remain in the shade and drink plenty of fluids.
Phoenix, Las Vegas, and El Paso will easily surpass the triple digit mark on Wednesday
On Thursday, the heat will progressively move westward - with Phoenix seeing temperatures surpass 110 degrees
Along the eastern seaboard, rain is expected to provide a bit of a respite from the scorching hot temperatures
'Anyone outside in locations with expanded areas of heat is going to have to take precautions,' Petersen said.
'This is the peak of summer – the hottest time of the year.'
The NWS also issued an air quality alert on Tuesday, warning of excessive pollution levels in the New York area into the evening hours.
But later this week, a storm front is expected to roll through and cool down the eastern seaboard for the weekend, Petersen said, providing relief to Washington, DC, and Philadelphia on Friday night before heading down to the Carolinas.
In a reversal of normal patterns, Petersen said, the hot weather will head west, hitting the central United States late in the week before reaching Los Angeles and San Diego on Friday.
'The central part of the country is going to get hot and humid,' Petersen said.
'In Southern California, the heat coming out of the deserts will expand and go into the valley areas.'
The hot, gusty winds out West have wreaked havoc on states battling wildfires.

A growing wildfire destroyed more than 100 homes in the Colorado mountains, while other blazes across the parched West kept hundreds of other homes under evacuation orders Tuesday and derailed holiday plans.
Nearly 60 large, active blazes are burning across the West, including nine in New Mexico and six each in Utah and California, according to the National Interagency Fire Center.
In Utah, authorities have evacuated 200 to 300 homes because of a growing wildfire near a popular fishing reservoir southeast of Salt Lake City amid hot temperatures and high winds.
Several structures have been lost since the fire started Sunday, but it's unclear how many, said Jason Curry of the Utah Division of Forest, Fire and State Lands.
Meanwhile, a wind-fueled wildfire in Northern California that continues to send a thick layer of smoke and ash south of San Francisco was threatening more than 900 buildings.
The massive blaze was choking skies with ash and smoke, prompting some officials to cancel Fourth of July fireworks shows and urge people to stay indoors to protect themselves from the unhealthy air.
The hot, gusty winds out West have wreaked havoc on states battling wildfires. Hot Shot crews from Mendocino use backfires to help contain the County Fire along Highway 129 near Lake Berryessa in Yolo County, California on Tuesday

At least 2,500 people have been told to evacuate as the so-called County Fire continues to spread, said Anthony Brown, a spokesman with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
So far this year, wildfires have burned 4,200 square miles in the US, according to the fire center.
That's a bit below last year's acreage to date - which included the beginning of California's devastating fire season - but above the 10-year average of 3,600 square miles.
Because of the Independence Day holiday, authorities are also concerned about the possibility of campfires or fireworks starting new fires because of the dry, hot conditions.
A helicopter dumps water as a wildfire burns near the Highland Meadows subdivision west of Cripple Creek, Colorado on Monday
Smoke rises from a wildfire as it continues to burn east of Strawberry Reservoir, in Wasatch County, Utah on Tuesday
In Colorado, many communities have canceled firework displays, and a number of federal public lands and counties have some degree of fire restrictions in place, banning things like campfires or smoking outdoors.
In Arizona, large swaths of national forests and state trust land have been closed since before Memorial Day. Some cities have canceled fireworks displays because of extreme fire danger.
In New Mexico, all or part of three national forests remain closed because of the threat of wildfire, putting a damper on holiday camping plans. The forests that are open have strict rules, especially when it comes to fireworks.
'We're just urging people to use extreme caution,' said Wendy Mason, a spokeswoman for the New Mexico State Forestry Division.
'We want people to have fun and enjoy themselves, but we prefer they leave the fireworks shows to the professionals.'

Question: Second man pleads guilty in relation to North Van abduction-slaying

A second man has pleaded guilty in connection with the abduction and slaying of a man in North Vancouver more than a year ago.
On Friday, Casey James Hiscoe made a brief appearance in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver and pleaded guilty to conspiracy to unlawfully confine and to accessory after the fact to murder.
The pleas were entered in connection tothe slaying of Peng Sun, 22, whose body was found in a quiet North Vancouver street in September 2015.
Details of Hiscoe’s involvement in the case are expected to be outlined during his sentencing hearing. The case has been put over to Feb. 22 to set a date for the sentencing.
Hiscoe’s pleas came just two days after Tian Yi Eddie Zhang, Hiscoe’s co-accused, pleaded guilty to the manslaughter and unlawful confinement of Sun, a Chinese man, and to the extortion of Cang Sun and Hau Li, the victim’s parents. Zhang’s sentencing hearing is expected Feb. 21.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team was called to the scene after Sun’s body was found in the 900-block of Wellington Drive.
Three vehicles, a black BMW SUV, a white Bentley and a Chevrolet Malibu, were takenfrom the crime scene on flatbed trucks. Only the Bentley had a tarp placed over it, prompting residents to suspect that the victim was inside that vehicle.
Two other men were also arrested and charged in the case but have had their charges stayed.

Now there's a guilty plea for a woman accused of trying to hire a hit man to kill her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend.
The Valley News reports Monique Earle pleaded guilty Wednesday to two felonies. Earle originally pleaded not guilty in January and was released on $100,000 bond.
Last year, she allegedly offered to pay an undercover officer to kill the other woman.
The 20-year-old served two years in prison for that scheme which was never carried out.
Earle was staying in a homeless shelter last fall and was also pregnant at the time.
