Question: Governor’s Office seeks more information from death row inmate Kevin Cooper’s lawyer in clemency petition

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

The Governor’s Office wants more information from defense lawyer Norm Hile in his clemency petition for death row inmate Kevin Cooper, who was convicted more than three decades ago of the brutal hatchet attack of a Chino Hills family and a young boy staying with them.
A six-page letter from Legal Affairs Secretary Peter A. Krause sent July 3 asked Hile a series of questions about his requests for additional DNA testing and theories about evidence handling in Cooper’s case. The letter said the Office of Gov. Jerry Brown had considered Hile’s arguments and that attorneys in the Governor’s Office had already met with him, his investigators, and attorneys from the state Attorney General’s Office.
“Your allegations clearly deserve the serious consideration they have received and we now request more information in order to complete our evaluation of your requests for additional testing,” according to the letter signed by Krause.
Hile has until August 17 to submit his replies. Prosecutors will then be given a chance to respond. The information received from both parties will determine the next steps in the case, including whether there will be additional testing, according to the Governor’s Office.
Hile was not available for comment. San Bernardino County District Attorney Michael A. Ramos, whose office prosecuted the case, declined to comment.
The bloody June 4, 1983, attack for which Cooper was convicted and sentenced took the lives of Doug and Peggy Ryen; their 10-year-old daughter Jessica; and neighbor Chris Hughes, 11, who was staying overnight at the Ryens’ home. The boy was a friend of the Ryens’ 8-year-old son Joshua, who suffered a slashed throat but survived the attack.
Mary Ann Hughes, mother of Chris Hughes, said Cooper’s case is totally adjudicated. There are no more appeals, she said.
“My son deserves to have justice carried out for him, so does my family and so does Josh Ryen,” Hughes said.

In February, four law school deans asked Brown to open an independent investigation into Cooper’s case and grant a clemency petition that would put his case temporarily on hold during the investigation.
Hile, of Orrick Herrington and Sutcliffe LLP, said all they’re asking for is to allow advanced, state-of-the-art DNA testing to be completed — the type of testing not available when Cooper went to trial. Hile pointed to the recent identification of the Golden State Killer through advanced DNA testing.
The clemency bid seeks further testing, such as Touch DNA testing, to be performed on evidence including the murder weapon, the hatchet sheath, a T-shirt and the prison button — items that were presented at trial and have undergone previous testing.

Cooper’s trial took place before the use of Touch DNA testing, which analyzes skin cells left behind on evidence, but prosecutors say it can’t provide relevant information in this case or exonerate Cooper, according to an earlier statement from Ramos.
The hatchet and protective sheath were touched by the owners of the hideout house — a place near the Ryen’s home where Cooper stayed upon first escaping from prison — their families, visitors and guests whenever the hatchet was used to chop firewood. Consequently, many people have touched the exhibits outside of laboratory conditions, prosecutors say.
In that earlier statement, Ramos said this was another attempt by Cooper to avoid punishment.
Cooper, 60, has exhausted all appeals from his 1985 conviction and sentencing and could be one of the first prisoners executed if California resumes the death penalty. He has maintained his innocence.

"['Represent this text to find a news title for it', 'CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — The same jury that last month unanimously found Dylann Roof guilty in the slayings of nine black parishioners at a South Carolina church is returning to court to begin contemplating his punishment.\nWith the 22-year-old representing himself, the process is sure to be unconventional. But even if Roof is sentenced to death, it’s highly unlikely he’d be executed anytime soon.\nWhile prosecutors plan to call up to 38 people related to the nine people killed and three who survived the June 2015 slaughter during Bible study at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, Roof said last week he plans on calling no witnesses and presenting no evidence.\nRoof was found guilty last month on 33 federal charges, including hate crimes and obstruction of the practice of religion. A jury took less than three hours to return its verdict, and a judge dismissed the jury for a break over the holidays.\nTypically in what’s known as the sentencing phase, defense attorneys call relatives and other witnesses to testify about their client’s unsteady state of mind before and during the crimes. Given that background, the defense hopes, a jury might be more likely to spare the defendant’s life and opt against the death penalty.\nBut Roof, who is acting as his own attorney, has said he plans to do no such thing.\nIn his journal, which was read in court during his trial, Roof said his doesn’t believe in psychology, which he called “a Jewish invention” that “does nothing but invent diseases and tell people they have problems when they don’t.”\nRoof also seems to be determined to try to keep evidence embarrassing to him or his family out. Not only did he take over his own defense, but he asked the judge at a hearing Wednesday if he could file a motion limiting what prosecutors can introduce.\nRoof also was adamant that a transcript of a hearing where he was found mentally competent not be released to the public.\n“I know this is not a legal argument, but the unsealing of the competency hearing defeats the purpose of me representing myself,” Roof said at last week’s hearing.\nNeither Roof, nor U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel nor prosecutors have given specifics on the evidence Roof is objecting to.\nOn Thursday, Gergel ordered another competency evaluation of Roof “in an abundance of caution,” after his standby counsel filed a sealed motion again questioning Roof’s mental ability to proceed. The judge’s order specified he saw no reason to delay Tuesday’s start of the penalty phase.\nOn Monday, over the objection of an attorney representing media outlets including The Associated Press, Gergel ordered the competency hearing to be closed to the public. Saying he’d have to sequester jurors if he opened up the proceedings, the judge promised to release a transcript after Roof is sentenced.\n“This is an incredibly sensitive moment in this proceeding,” Gergel said. “We are putting in the hands of 12 people the life and death of a person.”\nRoof’s lawyers tried repeatedly both to stop him from being his own lawyer and to work mental health-related evidence into the first phase of his trial, saying they feared Roof fired them because he feared the attorneys would present evidence that would embarrass him when trying to save his life.\nProsecutors objected at every turn, and Gergel wouldn’t allow any of it into court, ruling mitigation evidence is allowable during sentencing and not before.\nCourt papers show prosecutors are expected to present evidence showing that Roof picked his victims because of their race, killed them to incite more violence, showed no remorse and killed three particularly vulnerable people who were 70 years old or older.\nEvidence speaking to Roof’s mental state, one expert argues, could make the difference between life and death.\n“The Dylann Roof case is a classic example of the type of problem you can have when an obviously mentally ill or emotionally disturbed defendant is permitted to represent himself,” said Robert Dunham, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center. “There’s a huge difference in the eyes of a jury between someone they perceive as evil or despicable and someone they perceive as being seriously mentally ill. … If you take mental health out of it, you are putting a thumb on the scale of death.”\nBoth the judge’s decision to allow Roof to represent himself and waive the introduction of mental health evidence are sure to be raised in an inevitable appeal, Dunham argued.\nRoof also faces nine murder charges in state court, where prosecutors have also said they will seek the death penalty in a trial likely to begin sometime next year.\nWhether he’s sentenced to death or not, it’s unlikely Roof would be executed anytime soon, in either jurisdiction. The federal government hasn’t executed anyone since 2003, and there are years of appeals between a death sentence being levied and carried out.\nSouth Carolina’s death chamber hasn’t been used since 2011, due at least in part to a lack of availability for the drugs the state uses for lethal injection.\n___\nAssociated Press writer Jeffrey Collins contributed to this report.\n(Copyright 2017 The Associated Press.

“It is heartbreaking that the family of Jane Daniel has once again seen justice delayed. Davis was convicted of his crimes in 1992, and my office took every action it could today to see that justice was carried out. Ultimately, the U.S. Supreme Court has the final say and has decided not to lift the stay at this time.
“There are five scheduled executions remaining with nothing preventing them from occurring, but I will continue to respond to any and all legal challenges brought by the prisoners. The families have waited far too long to see justice, and I will continue to make that a priority.”
“The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to vacate the Arkansas Supreme Court decision in reference to Don Davis. I am disappointed in this delay for the victim’s family. However, the 8th Circuit decision today overturning Judge Baker’s stay and the Arkansas Supreme Court ruling vacating Judge Griffen’s temporary restraining order mean that the courts have once again cleared the state to proceed with carrying out the sentences of the other inmates. While this has been an exhausting day for all involved, tomorrow we will continue to fight back on last minute appeals and efforts to block justice for the victims’ families.”
In an order not received until after 11:30 p.m., the U.S. Supreme Court denied Attorney General Leslie Rutledge's application to vacate a stay imposed by the Arkansas Supreme Court on the execution of. A warrant for Davis' execution had been issued for today. It was to expire at midnight. In preparation for the Court's ruling, the state had moved witnesses into the execution viewing room.The state Supreme Court granted a stay of the execution of Davis today without explanation. Attorneys for Davis and another death row inmate,, had asked the state Supreme Court to stop the executions until the U.S. Supreme Court can decide a case over adequate consideration of mental state of people sentenced to death. The U.S. Supreme Court is to hear an Alabama case April 24.The question is whether an indigent defendant had adequate access to experts to develop a defense based on mental health. An evaluation of a defendant's competency by an expert shared by prosecution and defense is inadequate, the defense argues. Ward's attorneys have said he suffers from severe and life long schizophrenia and delusions. Davis has an IQ low enough to approach disability, plus ADHD and psychoactive substance abuse disorders, according to a news release on his original court filing.The state Supreme Court stayed Ward's execution, which had also been scheduled for today, on Friday. After the state Court declined to vacate the stay on Monday, Rutledge said she would not asking the U.S. Supreme Court to override the stay for Ward.She offered a statement late Monday night:So did

Question: Help wanted: Staff shortages under Trump slow policy changes

Represent this text to find a news title for it

By David Shepardson WASHINGTON, Oct 6 (Reuters) - Hundreds of government employees file in and out of the U.S. agency for auto safety in Washington every working day, investigating potentially dangerous vehicles and managing a $900 million annual budget. But an administrator is not among them - nobody has been nominated to the top job since President Donald Trump took office. Also missing from the roughly 550 people on the payroll of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA, are a permanent chief counsel, director for government affairs, chief financial officer and enforcement chief. While a deputy administrator was appointed last week, slow progress in bringing in senior politically appointed officials has nearly frozen key decision-making at the agency, according to five former NHTSA officials, consumer groups, lawmakers and some business leaders. They said that without leadership in place NHTSA has either pushed back or failed to act on rules setting new standards for improving how buses fare in rollover crashes, a system to remind passengers in rear seats to wear seat belts, and new tire standards. Eight months into Trump’s presidency, senior positions in many government agencies across Washington remain vacant, including roles at the State Department, the Department of Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency and throughout the Transportation Department that oversees NHTSA. Some of the vacancies are the result of Trump's efforts to slim down the federal bureaucracy. Others are simply waiting to be filled. The White House blames Democrats for dragging out the confirmation process for its nominees, and says vetting picks has been more complicated than usual because many come from the business world rather than government. While many companies applaud Trump's moves to roll back federal bureaucracy, some also complain that delays in bringing aboard political appointees is hindering government decisions that could impact business. The frustration extends to some U.S. diplomats, private-sector lawyers and others who regularly deal with government agencies, according to interviews. 'IN A STALL' In September, the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association urged Trump in a letter to accelerate his efforts to nominate a NHTSA administrator so the agency can comply with a 2015 road safety law passed by Congress. The law ordered NHTSA to write regulations setting minimum tire standards for fuel efficiency and traction in wet conditions and create an online database for consumers to check for tire recalls. U.S. manufacturers and consumer groups support the regulations, drawn up in response to vehicle deaths linked to faulty tires, because they will raise standards and make the U.S. market less accessible to poorly made versions. "We don’t want the U.S. to be kind of the dumping group for the really low technology because there isn’t a standard to meet," said Dan Zielinski, the association’s senior vice president. Two former NHTSA leaders and consumer groups say the agency is also moving slowly on other regulatory issues, such as improving side impact standards. "This agency is in a stall ... They are not going to do very much without political leadership," said Joan Claybrook, a former NHTSA administrator under President Jimmy Carter and a prominent consumer advocate. A White House spokeswoman declined to comment on NHTSA but said "capable and professional staff" are filling essential positions throughout the government on an acting basis until confirmations go through. Leadership shortages extend beyond the NHTSA. The White House had by Oct. 4 nominated 387 political appointees for civilian positions in the executive branch and 160 have been confirmed by the U.S. Senate, according to the non-partisan Partnership for Public Service. Both numbers were well below those in the first eight months under at least the last four presidents. In the same period of Barack Obama’s presidency, 497 candidates were nominated and 337 confirmed. One senior administration official said it aims to have all top positions - those at the level of assistant secretary and above - nominated by year's end. Still, some political appointee jobs are expected to stay empty, the White House spokeswoman said. "The federal government has grown unrestrained for decades because politicians have been too afraid to ‘drain the swamp'," she said. Follow Trump's impact on energy, environment, healthcare, immigration and the economy at The Trump Effect https://www.reuters.com/trump-effect 'BEHIND THE CURVE' In many cases, dire warnings from opponents that Trump's delays in putting forward political nominations for approval would cause chaos have proven overblown. But there are examples of government slowing down because mid-level employees do not have the authority or are unwilling to make decisions. At the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which analyzes proposed transactions to ensure they do not harm national security, private-sector lawyers complain of slow decisions on big deals. "There is an unwillingness for the staff people to make a decision," said Michael Gershberg, a trade and investment attorney with Fried Frank. A lobbyist who works on CFIUS deals said some companies have had to refile proposals because CFIUS failed to reach a decision within 75 days. That drives up legal and financing fees and creates uncertainty about the deal. Deals that have been refiled include a bid by Jack Ma's Ant Financial to buy MoneyGram and Zhongwang USA's $2.33 billion bid for Aleris Corp . The Senate last week confirmed Heath Tarbert, who is expected to oversee CFIUS, as an assistant secretary of the Treasury. At the State Department, only six of the top 40 jobs have been filled, and no confirmed officials are in place to run regional bureaus that handle foreign relations. Instead, they are in the hands of career diplomats with limited authority. The United States does not have an ambassador in place in such key allied countries as South Korea, Jordan, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. "We’re pretty much frozen in amber here,” one official said. A congressional aide said it was hard to determine the precise impact of the vacancies. But he added that U.S. policy in the North Korea missiles crisis would likely be helped by an ambassador in Seoul, a fully empowered assistant secretary of state for East Asia and an active special envoy for North Korea. "That’s just one example in the region with the most prominent national security crisis, and really one of the most serious in a long time," he said. Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan, testifying in Congress on Sept. 26, addressed the slow pace of filling posts. "We’re behind the curve. We should be ahead of the curve. And we’re doing all we can to catch up,” he said. “Our work is getting done. It would be better done if we had those positions filled.” (Additional reporting by Roberta Rampton, Diane Bartz and Warren Strobel; Editing by Kieran Murray and Paul Thomasch)

Question: Amber Heard Slammed For Offensive Tweet About ICE

Amber Heard is learning that the internet never forgets. The actress tweeted yesterday about an ICE checkpoint in Hollywood, close to where she lived. That part is fine. But then she followed up with, “everybody better give their housekeepers, nannies, and landscapers a ride home tonight…”
After the backlash began, Heard deleted the tweet and replaced it with one critiquing checkpoints as a whole. But, that didn’t stop people from asking where her previous tweet went.

Heard, who has been tweeting often about the family separation policy and describes herself as an “activist” in her twitter bio, later said that her misstep shouldn’t distract from the “real issues.” She implied that her original tweet — the one saying that nannies, landscapers, and housekeepers would need a ride home — was a simple statement.

Question: Derrick Lewis 'Not Impressed with Nothing' Francis Ngannou Has to Offer

Derrick Lewis ‘Not Impressed with Nothing’ Francis Ngannou Has to Offer
Derrick Lewis has been waiting for years to finally come face-to-face with Francis Ngannou.
While both fighters have made their own mark on the UFC’s heavyweight division, Lewis’ issues with Ngannou stretches back to 2016 on a card in Croatia where he knocked out former title contender Gabriel Gonzaga.
On that same card, Ngannou made his UFC debut with a TKO against Curtis Blaydes but Lewis has a much different memory of his first encounter with the ferocious knockout artist from Cameroon.
“He introduced himself to me [before the fight] saying that I was his next opponent and ever since then, I’ve been watching him,” Lewis said ahead of their fight at UFC 226.
“I did [think that was disrespectful] and then after the fight, he called out everybody else but me. It seems like he was avoiding me but I guess he had bigger fish to fry.”
Lewis and Ngannou have both engaged in plenty of memorable fights since that first encounter two years ago but now they are finally ready to clash on Saturday night in a featured bout on the UFC 226 pay-per-view main card.
Lewis famously criticized Ngannou after his performance back in January when he lost a lopsided five round decision to heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic in his first attempt to win UFC gold.
Ngannou, who is best known for his incredible punching power, gassed out after the opening round and was largely ripe for the picking as Miocic dismantled him for the better part of 25 minutes.
Lewis is positive that Ngannou will come out with something to prove when they meet on Saturday night but he’s confident not that much has changed in the past six months.
“I believe he’s going to come out with something to prove, show everybody he’s got better cardio and more well rounded to defend takedowns and all that on point,” Lewis said. “Hopefully he comes prepared. More hungry than he did then he did his last fight.”
For all of Ngannou’s good intentions to show how much he’s improved since his last fight, Lewis says the main thing he has to watch is the same thing every other opponent in the UFC had to be cautious about when facing the 6-foot-4-inch monster.
“It’s just his punches. I don’t have to worry about nothing else. None of his kicks or anything, not his grappling. Just his punches. That’s about it,” Lewis said.
“I’m not impressed with nothing. Of course he hits hard. We all hit hard in the heavyweight division. It just takes one punch from either one of us. I think it’s more than that. You’ve got to be really well rounded in this sport. It’s mixed martial arts. It’s not just boxing.”
Assuming Lewis can avoid the nuclear bombs hidden inside Ngannou’s gloves, he believes time will be on his side to eventually showcase his own power in this matchup.
Lewis has nine knockouts or TKO’s on his UFC record and he believes Ngannou will be No. 10.
“This one right here I don’t know,” Lewis said when asked to predict when he’ll finish Ngannou. “If it’s not in the early rounds, I’ll for sure get him in the third round.”

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — DeMarcus Cousins will spend the rest of the 2016-17 NBA season walking on eggshells.
Having already served a league-mandated suspension for accruing 16 technical fouls, Cousins faces subsequent one-game bans for every two additional violations. Subduing emotion has always been difficult for the All-Star big man, but now the penalty for failure is more severe than ever.
Every incident that could produce a shout, scowl or diatribe against officials suddenly comes at a steeper price. Errant hands to the face of Donatas Motiejunas get extra scrutiny, for example. Reactions to low blows from Buddy Hield, obvious no-calls and every other potential outburst could result in another team-crippling suspension.
And you'd better believe it's weighing on Cousins.
"I don't know how to be myself anymore," he said softly from his locker stall at the Golden 1 Center on Friday night.
The Kings had just engineered a 22-point comeback to steal a win from the visiting Atlanta Hawks, but more importantly, it was Cousins' first night back from his initial suspension. He admitted the threat of future discipline affected his performance. Hence the miniature existential emergency.
"It's well known I'm a very emotional player," Cousins later explained to Bleacher Report. "I play with a lot of passion, a lot of emotion. I know that's what makes me the player that I am. When I'm kind of crucified for how I play, and they want change, it's hard for me to be the same type of player...It's just me trying to find the balance. I'm trying to make the adjustment, I'm trying to make the change for the better."
Can he sustain his productivity while snuffing out the fire that led to his suspension? And can he do it as the pressure of the season's stretch run intensifies?

Cousins understands the stakes. He knows his team is within sniffing distance of the franchise's first playoff berth since 2007. And he knows one game lost to suspension here or there could be the difference between reaching what he's called his only goal and falling short again.
"The guy's trying so hard," head coach Dave Joerger said. "He's an emotional player, so it's like he's playing with one hand behind his back if he can't ever say anything. He doesn't want to hurt the team. He doesn't want to get another technical."
Cousins survived the comeback win against Atlanta without incurring tech No. 17, but it was no easy thing. He was sluggish, visibly frustrated and unable to hide the strain of, well...restraint. Is his effectiveness divisible from his emotion?
"I'm dealing with my own demons right now," he said. "I've got to focus on what's going on at the moment, and I did a terrible job of that."
Two nights later, Cousins was assessed a first-quarter technical foul for an errant swing of the arm that caught New Orleans Pelicans forward Motiejunas in the face. In order to compose himself, Cousins actually left the floor and went to the locker room.

"It was kind of hard for me with that one because of the situation that had just occurred where I come back and the slightest thing and I'm back (facing suspension)," Cousins said. "It's hard, but I had to gather myself, refocus and get back to the main objective which is winning the game. I've got to walk the straight and narrow. It's all I can do."
Sacramento won that game as well, getting 28 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists from its best player—despite an ejection-triggering groin shot from Pelicans guard Hield. It was as if the basketball gods were testing Boogie. To his credit, he passed. Plenty of players with less volatile reputations would have snapped in that situation.
But so many more games lie ahead. So many more trials have yet to be undertaken. And, again, Cousins' margin for error is basically nil.
How he handles the challenge he's helped create for himself (despite protestations about unfair treatment from officials, he is partly responsible for his situation) will either signal the kind of growth so many have been waiting to see or reaffirm the doubts that have dogged him for years.
Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images
He'll have help.
"I lean on all my teammates, not just Matt (Barnes). But he is the voice of our team. Everybody leans on Matt when times get hard because he's been through it all, seen it all on all levels."
Barnes, like Cousins, is no stranger to image problems.
"He's got a tough rap—the reputation he's earned," Barnes told ESPN-Tencent's Yuan Fang. "Whether it's good or bad. We both have bad and that took me my whole career to change mine and it hasn't worked. He just has to be able to adjust within his reputation and still be himself. He has to keeps his head."
Barnes has been a calming figure all season, which may seem odd given his volatile reputation. He commands respect like no on else on the roster, and you can see it in the locker room and on the floor. When the Kings found life in the second half against Atlanta, they did so after Barnes gathered his teammates together at the foul line before the third quarter.
When he motioned for a huddle, everyone—Cousins included—hustled over, leaned in close and listened to the veteran as he clapped his hands and exhorted them to perform.
"I thought Matt did a good job of really talking to us the whole game," Darren Collison said. "He was the leader when things weren't going well."
This is about more than Cousins' personal journey, though. The Kings have professed commitment to their big man, with general manager Vlade Divac saying Cousins won't be traded. A contract extension worth upwards of $200 million will likely come by July.
Cousins could validate that faith by adjusting his behavior and upping his level of play. Or he could falter and, in doing so, force the Kings to reconsider their committed stance. Worse still, he might come up short and get that max extension anyway, which would effectively consign Sacramento to another half-decade of maddening sub-mediocrity.
We've seen a lot from DeMarcus Cousins over the last six years.
He's got six weeks to show us something more.
Kings Insider's Notebook
Free Willie
Joerger is loath to play Willie Cauley-Stein with Cousins, which is probably frustrating for fans who'd like to see athleticism like this alongside the proven productivity of an All-Star big man:

But Sacramento's defense has been untenably bad in the 119 minutes the duo has played together, and it's only gotten worse as the season has worn on. In 50 minutes since Jan. 1, the Kings have allowed 118.1 points per 100 possessions with Cousins and Cauley-Stein on the court.
That's not to say Cauley-Stein's without his uses. Lately, his energy and rim-rolling prowess have charged up the Kings' scrappy second unit. He put up 14 points, five rebounds and four assists in a Feb. 8 win over the Boston Celtics.
"He's getting to balls that are outside of his area, and I think he's a lot more comfortable with our defensive schemes and also our offensive schemes where he can find seams to get to the rim."
In limited minutes as part of a unit with Anthony Tolliver, Matt Barnes, Ben McLemore and either Darren Collison or Ty Lawson, Cauley-Stein has solidified himself as a rotation player with upside. That's good timing by him, as Cousins figures to miss a few games before season's end, which will free up minutes in the middle.
Return of the Mac
Does it count as a return if Ben McLemore's viability as an NBA player was never really certain in the first place?
Rather than worry about the details, check this out: McLemore is tearing it up since regaining a role after six consecutive DNPs.
In February, he's averaging 13.3 points per game and hitting 50 percent of his threes. His 22 points and 6-of-10 effort from long distance were vital in Friday's win over Atlanta.
"He's always been a good shooter to me, it was just a matter of time for him to really turn the corner," Darren Collison said. "One thing about Ben, even when he wasn't playing, he was always in the gym. First one in the gym, last one to leave."
Cousins, as you'd expect, was more forthright: "Ben is like a little brother to me. It's bigger than basketball, just to see him remain positive, remain professional through the bulls--t and things not going his way ... I think he's hitting his stride. I think that good karma's coming around for him now."
Digging Holes and Microcosms
It's fitting the Kings are scrambling to make up ground in the West after an uninspiring first half of the season (or 50-plus games, as the case may be). Because that seems to be the way they operate.
Here's proof:
Kings False Starts Quarter Offensive Rating Defensive Rating Net Rating First 100.7 111.9 -11.3 Second 103.5 111.4 -7.9 Third 108.8 104.9 +3.9 Fourth 108.9 105.9 +3.0 NBA.com
On the one hand, failing to show up for games before halftime is a concern. But, on the other, the Kings have been forced to develop resiliency.
"Our fight and our heart is undeniable," Cousins said. "I believe everybody here can agree with me on that. That being said, we can't keep putting ourselves in that position. We gotta make these games easier for ourselves."
Not getting blasted in every first quarter (the Kings lost all three opening periods in their three-game winning streak) would be a good start.

Question: Rinne stops 35 in Predators' 4-0 win over Sabres

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Pekka Rinne stopped 35 shots for his eighth shutout of the season and the Nashville Predators set a franchise record by earning a point in their 15th consecutive game with a 4-0 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Monday night.
Mike Fisher and Ryan Johansen scored goals 4:34 apart in the second period, and Filip Forsberg and Ryan Hartman sealed the victory by scoring in the final four minutes.
The NHL-leading Predators improved to 14-0-1 in their past 15, and also extended their team-best road winning streak to nine straight.
Rinne won his 11th straight to match his personal best in a stretch in which he's allowed just 18 goals. The shutout was the 51st of his 12-year career and third in nine games.
And Rinne also improved to 40-9-4 in becoming the NHL's seventh goalie to win 40 games in a season three or more times.
The Predators haven't lost in regulation since a 3-1 defeat to Detroit at home on Feb. 17. And they improved to 12-0-3 in their past 15 road games since a 3-0 loss at Vegas on Jan. 2.
The Sabres were unable to build off a 5-3 win over Chicago on Saturday and lost in rookie coach Phil Housley's first meeting against his former team. The Hockey Hall of Fame defenseman spent the previous four seasons as a Predators assistant coach.
Buffalo ranks last in the Eastern Conference and had its NHL-worst home record drop to 11-21-5.
Minor-league call-up Linus Ullmark stopped 28 shots, starting in place of Robin Lehner, who was sidelined with an undisclosed injury.
Ullmark had little chance on Fisher's goal that opened the scoring 12:29 into the second period.
Fisher and teammate Scott Hartnell were both parked in front when Fisher deflected in Mikka Salomaki's shot from the blue line. The Sabres challenged the goal by arguing Fisher interfered with Ullmark. The goal was allowed to stand despite a replay showing Fisher nudged the back of Ullmark's skate in the crease and also got a hand on the goalie's glove.
There was no disputing Johansen's goal. Ullmark stopped Viktor Arvidsson's initial shot from the right circle. The rebound fell at Ullmark's his feet where Forsberg chipped the puck to Johansen, who snapped it in the open left side.
The first period was lively with both teams putting their speed on display.
Arvidsson nearly scored 7 seconds in on a breakaway off the opening faceoff.
Buffalo's Jack Eichel burst up the left side and behind the Predators defense to drive across the crease only to have his shot stopped by Rinne's left pad. Rinne also got an assist from Kevin Fiala who got his stick out to stop Justin Bailey's attempt to tap in a bouncing puck in the crease.
NOTES: Rinne joined a list of three-time 40-game winners led by former New Jersey goalie Martin Broduer, who reached the milestone eight times. Washington's Braden Holtby is the only other active goalie to win 40 games three times. The other three-time 40-game-winners were Terry Sawchuk, Jacques Plante, Mikka Kiprusoff and Evgeni Nabokov. ... Sabres RW Kyle Okposo returned after missing three games with a concussion. ... With 10 games left, the Predators inched closer to matching franchise records for most wins (51) and points (110) set in 2006-07.
UP NEXT
Predators: Host Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday.
Sabres: Host Arizona Coyotes on Wednesday in matchup of NHL's two worst teams.

Recent hacks at Ticketmaster, Fortnum & Mason and Dixons Carphone have resulted in customer data being accessed, stolen or potentially compromised.\nBut it’s not just large companies that are at risk and, with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in place, all businesses must take steps to ensure that their systems and data are protected.\nEdward Whittingham is a former police officer and the founder of online security company, Business Fraud Prevention Partnership, which is accredited by GCHQ as part of the Government’s National Cyber Security Programme. He says that it’s essential that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) understand that cyber-crime is now a major part of organised crime.\n“Historically, there has been a perception that cyber attacks are conducted by teenagers or rogue individuals, but this just isn’t the case,” he explains. “They’re now conducted on a large scale by serious and organised crime gangs who, for pocket change, can purchase the tools that they need to carry out attacks on the dark web.”\nPhishers\nMr Whittingham says that one of the biggest threats to SMEs are phishing emails, where hackers pose as trustworthy entities, such as suppliers or colleagues, and ask for sensitive information to be sent. He warns that these must not be underestimated and points to research that shows that between 90pc and 95pc of cyber-attacks begin with phishing.\n“They continue to evolve and are becoming ever more convincing,” he says. “[Hackers] are on the ball and always looking to exploit the latest trend, so it’s crucial that we are, too. If there’s one thing to get to grips with, it’s ensuring that employees understand all of the different threats that phishing emails pose and how to spot the warning signs.”\nThink about the data that you hold that’s absolutely business critical Edward Whittingham, Business Fraud Prevention Partnership\nThose signs are often subtle differences, explains Mr Whittingham. “Check the sender details, and not just the sender’s name, but the actual email address itself: does it look legitimate; are there subtle misspellings or additional characters?”\nOther red flags to look out for include any unusual or urgent calls to action, such as a request to make a payment, confirm details or access a link or document.\nCosts and expenses\nThe cost of a cyber-attack can be huge, but protection for small businesses isn’t necessarily expensive. Anti-virus software is a must for all SMEs and some packages ensure that the software is always up to date. The market is competitive and business owners should read reviews and take recommendations before selecting the right tool or package.\nLocal authorities and chambers of commerce also offer support.\nBack-up your data\nFirms that want to mitigate the danger of an attack can take action. Mr Whittingham says that the first step is to back up crucial data: “Think about the operational and financial data that you hold that’s absolutely business critical – what would you do if this became inaccessible or permanently lost?”\nBack-ups should be made regularly (ideally daily) to a storage device separate to the ones from which you work.\nTwo-factor authentication\nThe founder also recommends the use of two-factor authentication, where software or email access requires not just a password but also a PIN number, usually sent by text.\nGmail, Dropbox and other cloud services offer this, but passwords should be improved anyway. They are all too often a weak link, he says. “Employees should be encouraged to use strong passwords made up of sequences of words, as these are easier to remember.”\nIT policy\nSMEs need to create an IT policy to prevent cyber-attacks and data breaches. This should be a comprehensive but easy to read document that’s adhered to by all staff members.\nUnfortunately, it’s a case of when, not if, an attack will take place Edward Whittingham, Mintivo\nChris Gough is technical director at IT consultancy, Mintivo, which works with small businesses as well as bigger companies such as Age UK and Investors in People. He says that IT policies are all too often unread and unattractive, and advises a bite-sized version to interest staff: “You can get great engagement from using a ‘Top 10 need to know’ format and promoting this alongside the full document.”\nWhen it comes to the policy’s content, Mr Gough advises that businesses consider a wide variety of areas, including acceptable usage, communications, password policy, social media guidelines, network security, physical security, data protection, incident response and disaster recovery.\nPreparation is key and cannot simply be left for the IT department, he says. “Unfortunately, it’s a case of when, not if, a cyber-attack will take place.”\nTest your systems\nThe only way to ensure that your systems are strong is to test them – preferably before the hackers do.\n“It’s important that organisations are proactive and not reactive when it comes to cyber security,” explains Mr Whittingham. “Staff training, paired with simulated phishing tests, is not only a way of educating employees; it can also identify high-risk areas within the business.”']>>  to <<['Represent the title to find an explanatory news article', 'What every SME needs to know about hackers and cyber-security']>>

MAN Utd are interested in signing Marko Arnautovic valued at £50m by West Ham – and his stunning wife would be joining him in the north-west.
The Austrian star, 29, was watched by Jose Mourinho in the stands on Wednesday night as Austria claimed a 1-0 friendly win over Russia. And Arnautovic impressed by providing the assist for the winner. Sky Sports News said United are interested but Hammers are unwilling to sell for less than £50m. But it's not just his sparkling form and robust style of play Hammers fans will miss. The Austrian is married to Sarah Arnautovic, who the footballer describes as "my everything".
INSTAGRAM COUPLE: Marko and Sarah Arnautovic could be on the way to Manchester
They have one child together. On Instagram they regularly pose for snaps together, striking uber-trendy figures in their designer clothes and jewellery. He also loves fast cars, and in past footage he can be seen racing in a gorgeous red Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. There's also a matte red Bentley, BMW and Mercedes all parked in his extravagant car park.

Arnautovic joined West Ham from Stoke for a club-record £25m fee last summer and scored 11 goals during his debut season with the club. The Austria international, who also contributed six assists during the 2017/18 campaign, has four years left to run on his contract at the London Stadium. United manager Jose Mourinho was in the stands on Wednesday night as Austria claimed a 1-0 friendly win over Russia, with Arnautovic providing the assist for the winner.

Arnautovic previously worked with Mourinho during their time together at Inter Milan in 2009. He made only three appearances for Inter during an unsuccessful loan spell at the San Siro from FC Twente and subsequently joined Werder Bremen in the summer of 2010. In an interview he gave in 2013, he revealed he almost lost teammate Samuel Eto's car during their time at Inter Milan.

Think it's just an inevitable move by club and player. Think he's been a good servant of the club and never really let anyone down. Just think the club have advanced since he signed and if we are to move forward the club can't afford to carry players like before. Don't think we always utilised him fully as he does have good speed & footwork. He's a decent player and will be a very good signing for Leigh.
Good luck to Jordan and thanks for your efforts.

Question: Man Remanded On Attempted Murder Charge After Car Driven Into Clubbers

Represent the article to find a fitting news title.

A man has appeared in court charged with attempted murder after a car was driven into revellers outside a Gravesend nightclub.
Mohammed Abdul appeared before Medway Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
He is accused of driving a Suzuki Vitara deliberately into Blake’s nightclub, Queen Street, on Saturday in an incident which left 13 people injured.
The 21-year-old did not enter a plea at the short hearing and spoke only to confirm his details when he appeared by videolink.

It is alleged the vehicle was driven down the alleyway beside Blake’s nightclub at speed and then stopped for about 15 seconds before ploughing through a marquee and onto a dance floor.
The court was told people in the crowd were left with injuries including broken and dislocated knees, and dislocated pelvises.
Abdul had allegedly been kicked out of the nightclub before the incident.
Senior investigating officer Detective Chief Inspector David Chewter, from the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate, said: “We have reason to believe the person responsible for the vehicle colliding with the nightclub had been asked to leave the venue earlier on in the evening.
“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the security staff at the nightclub as well as those members of the public who helped in the initial moments after the collision.
“Many people were injured as a result of the incident but none of their injuries are described as life-threatening or life-changing.
“However, we believe there may be more casualties out there who are yet to come forward and talk to us – we would like to hear from them as we continue to build a clear picture of what happened that night.”
Dr Sola Adeyemi, chairman of the bench, remanded Abdul, of Gilbert House, McMillan Street, London, in custody.
He will next appear before Maidstone Crown Court on April 16.

ST. LOUIS — The Latest on the investigation of Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens (all times local):
12:05 p.m.
An attorney for the ex-husband of a woman who had an extramarital affair with Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens has been issued a subpoena by a legislative committee concerning $100,000 in anonymous payments to the attorney’s firm.
Attorney Al Watkins on Tuesday confirmed he’s received a subpoena. He expects to meet with the committee in early May. Watkins says he’ll be “as co-operative as possible.”
Greitens is accused of two felonies in St. Louis. One accuses him of taking an unauthorized and compromising photo of the woman in 2015, before he was elected. Another accuses him of illegally obtaining a donor list from a veterans charity he founded for use in his gubernatorial campaign.
Watkins disclosed Monday that a courier delivered two $50,000 payments to his office in January, just before the governor admitted to the affair. Watkins says he was contacted by an intermediary and deduced from the conversation that the money was for the ex-husband’s legal bills.
——
10:25 a.m.
A judge is expected to consider a request to disqualify St. Louis prosecutors from one of the two felony cases against Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens.
A hearing is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon in the computer data tampering case against Greitens. In that case, Greitens is accused of obtaining a charity donor list for his gubernatorial campaign without permission.
Greitens also faces a felony invasion-of-privacy charge for allegedly taking an unauthorized and compromising photo of a woman with whom he had an affair in 2015, before he was elected.
Defence lawyers asked Judge Rex Burlison to require a special prosecutor in the computer tampering case, citing the use of a private investigator in the earlier case. They say prosecutors knew William Tisaby lied under oath.

Question:
i found this news title. can you represent it to find an explanatory news article?

Examples:

Given ['Represent this title to get a news article that provides more details about it', 'Trans Mountain pipeline: The economics of oil'] it matches with ['Represent the next text', 'This is the fourth story in a five-part series on the issues surrounding Kinder Morgan’s proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline, investigating the history, science, Indigenous reaction, politics and economics of the controversial project. Read part one, part two, part three and part four.\nThere’s a lot riding on the federal government’s decision to take over the Trans Mountain pipeline twinning project from Edmonton to its terminal in Burnaby.\nKinder Morgan agreed to carry on with its construction plan as part of Ottawa’s offer to buy its Canadian assets, primarily the pipeline and its terminal, for $4.5 billion.\nThe federal purchase does not include the $7.4 billion construction budget, which is to be financed by Ottawa and Alberta. Kinder Morgan estimates that the first 20 years of construction and operation would generate $46.7 billion, including federal and provincial taxes paid. Over the same period, the company calculates that municipal tax payments over 20 years would total $922 million in B.C. and another $124 million in Alberta.\nThe Conference Board of Canada estimates the project would create the equivalent of 15,000 person-years of employment in construction and 37,000 direct, indirect and induced jobs each year it operates.\nBenefits agreements have been signed with 19 communities, representing $8.6 million in infrastructure, education and training projects. Examples include $500,000 for improvements to Hope Community Park, $290,000 for trails and trades training in Barriere, $845,000 for community infrastructure and training in the Thompson Nicola Regional District, $390,000 for projects and training in Clearwater, $1.3 million to revitalize an Abbotsford golf course and $1.2 million for a new Vedder Greenway trail pedestrian bridge in Chilliwack.\nThere are another 43 “mutual benefit agreements” with Indigenous communities, 33 in B.C. and the rest in Alberta. Kinder Morgan says those agreements will see $400 million go to the communities, and agreements may be extended as the project proceeds.\nTrans Mountain requires its contractors to have Indigenous monitors on its environmental inspection teams at all construction areas, advising on traditional land use and cultural values.\nBeyond the direct jobs and community benefits agreements along the route, the project is a key step toward increased spill response capability on the B.C. coast. It also affects the supply of crude oil to southern B.C.’s last oil refinery and bigger refineries in Washington.\nAnd then there are pending oil pipelines to the U.S., and another proposal to build a pipeline similar to the cancelled Northern Gateway pipeline across northern B.C.\nHere’s a closer look at the implications.\nWhat happens if there’s a spill\nSpill response on the B.C. coast is the responsibility of Western Canada Marine Response Corp. (WCMRC), an industry-funded network of facilities and vessels that works with the Coast Guard to respond contain and clean up incidents.\nAs part of its Trans Mountain expansion, Kinder Morgan Canada committed $150 million to increased response equipment and bases, conditional on completion of the Trans Mountain pipeline twinning project.\nThat funding was suspended in April, along with all non-essential spending on the pipeline, with Kinder Morgan seeking assurances by the end of May that further delays and demands won’t be imposed on a project that has already received federal and provincial approval.\nWCMRC plans include response bases at Burrard Inlet, on the Lower Fraser River, Nanaimo, Port Alberni, Sidney, Beecher Bay in the Juan de Fuca Strait, as well as an offshore supply vessel to be based at Ogden Point in Victoria. Kinder Morgan’s conditions laid down by the National Energy Board require that those facilities be up and running nine months before the Trans Mountain expansion begins operation.\nOgden Point is Victoria’s cruise ship terminal, and may also be the location of a new spill response vessel financed by Kinder Morgan Canada if the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion proceeds. (Western Canada Marine Response Corp.)\nThe project suspension puts all that work on hold, said Michael Lowry, communications manager for WCMRC.\n“We were close to signing leases in a lot of these spots,” Lowry said.\n“We had construction vendors all lined up, tender packages ready to go to start construction this summer.”\nThe goal of the response bases is to reduce the maximum response time for Vancouver Harbour from six hours to two. The six-hour maximum would then be applied to the entire southern B.C. shipping lane, where in remote places the response time can be up to 72 hours.\nIn November 2016, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced an upgrade to marine spill response for the West Coast. It included two new large vessels capable of towing large freighters or other ships in distress, such as the U.S. tugboat and fuel barge that had run aground near Bella Bella on the remote B.C. coast.\n“Canada has the longest coastline in the world, and it’s a poorly kept secret that we haven’t done enough to protect it,” Trudeau said after touring Vancouver harbour aboard a Coast Guard vessel.\nCleanup crew works on Burrard Inlet shoreline after a backhoe ruptured the Trans Mountain pipeline in July 2007. About 224 cubic metres of heavy synthetic crude was spilled, affecting a residential area, a creek and the inlet shore after some of the oil ran down a storm drain outfall. Approximately 95 per cent of the released oil was recovered. (Western Canada Marine Response Corp.)(Western Canada Marine Response Corp.)\nThat national project was not a direct response to the potential for increased tanker traffic. The B.C. government calculates that while all eyes are on the potential seven-fold increase in oil tankers, the Trans Mountain expansion represents only a six per cent increase in total shipping.\nThere has never been a spill of crude oil tanker cargo in B.C., after 64 years of Trans Mountain delivering crude to the Westridge tanker terminal at Burnaby, and daily Alaska tanker traffic past B.C. for nearly 50 years. Recent spills included a fuel system rupture of the freighter MV Marathassa in Vancouver harbour in 2015, spilling bunker fuel, a semi-refined product carried in large quantities by many ocean-going vessels.\nOil price and investment\nAlberta oil is “landlocked,” as a U.S. protest network’s strategy first described it in 2008. Pipeline backers point to the discount on Western Canada Select, as Alberta heavy oil is called by traders, and West Texas Intermediate, the similar grade of U.S. crude.\nBetween 2012 and 2017, the price difference averaged $16.54 a barrel. As the Fraser Institute pointed out in a May report, The Cost of Pipeline Constraints in Canada, the 2018 price spread is $26.30 a barrel, which works out to an annual loss of $15.8 billion on Canadian oil.\nCalculating the investment impact of cancelling third major pipeline project is less certain. The Justin Trudeau government effectively killed the Northern Gateway pipeline by banning crude tankers docking on B.C.’s North Coast, then added downstream greenhouse gas requirements to the Energy East pipeline from Alberta to the Atlantic coast that caused Trans Canada Corp. to abandon the project.\nEnergy East would have converted existing gas pipelines, moving Alberta oil to refineries that currently depend on imported oil from Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and other sources.\nOil refineries\nWith Imperial Oil’s refinery at Port Moody long dismantled, the last remaining source of refined fuels in southern B.C. is near the Trans Mountain Burnaby terminal. The Burnaby refinery was acquired from Chevron in April 2017 by Parkland Fuel Corp,, a Red Deer-based company that also owns Columbia Fuels on Vancouver Island.\nThe $1.5 billion purchase includes more than 100 Chevron-branded filling stations in B.C., marine fuelling stations and an aviation fuels business supplying Vancouver International Airport.\nTrans Mountain, one of few pipelines in North America used for shipping refined fuels and crude oil in batches, also supplies the Parkland refinery. News of the Trans Mountain expansion prompted Parkland CEO Bob Espey to express his concerns to the B.C. and Alberta governments.\n“Our company’s view is that any measure that restricts the supply of oil to British Columbia would be negative for both the economies and B.C. and Alberta,” Espey said in a statement. “We are committed to doing what we can to serve our customers and will continue to monitor the issue closely.”\nThe Cherry Point refinery in Washington State(BP)\nWashington state’s five refineries, at Cherry Point, Anacortes and Ferndale, receive crude from the Trans Mountain pipeline as well as by tankers from Alaska. With Trans Mountain now over-subscribed, Alberta oil is moving by rail in greater volumes, winding down the Fraser Canyon to enter the U.S. at Bellingham.\nA 2017 Washington state ecology department report says the volume of Alberta oil shipped by train to the state has more than doubled, from 7,000 barrels a day in 2012 to 15,000. That translates to 80 to 90 rail cars per week carrying Alberta heavy crude through B.C.\nOther pipelines\nAlberta’s oilsands crude is in demand in California and the U.S. Gulf Coast, where refineries are built to handle heavy oil such as Venezuela’s oilsands product. Some critics say much of Trans Mountain’s additional capacity would go south, rather than by Aframax-sized tankers across the Pacific to Asia.\nEnbridge is working on its Line 3 replacement, from Hardisty, Alberta across Saskatchewan and into the U.S. Construction of the Saskatchewan and Manitoba sections is scheduled to start in the fall of 2018.\nU.S. President Donald Trump carried out his campaign promise to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, which faced similar international opposition as Trans Mountain does today. Keystone would run from Hardisty to Nebraska, strengthening Alberta’s historic ties to the U.S. petroleum industry.\nAnother project that could benefit from Trans Mountain’s expansion being cancelled is Eagle Spirit Energy, an Indigenous-led effort to build a pipeline across northern B.C. similar to Northern Gateway.\nEagle Spirit founder Calvin Helin has backing from the Aquilini Group, real estate developers and owners of the Vancouver Canucks. A lawyer from Lax Kw’alaams on the northwest coast, Helin has worked to secure Indigenous consent for a pipeline route that terminates at Grassy Point, in Lax Kw’alaams territory.\nWhere the Trans Mountain expansion is opposed by the Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh, Eagle Spirit may have consent for the Grassy Point terminal, which could accommodate larger crude carriers for Asian ports.\nAnother coastal option is a refinery proposal backed by Black Press chairman David Black, that was originally to be supplied by the Northern Gateway pipeline to a site near Kitimat.\nThe Trudeau government’s decision to ban crude oil tankers from the North Coast is being challenged in court by Eagle Spirit, but Black has since focused on an innovation that would see Alberta bitumen dried to a solid and shipped by rail hopper cars for processing.\nIn the event of a land spill, the product could be picked up without significant impact, Black said.\nLike us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.'] but not with ['This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title', 'The twists and turns in the saga of the Kinder Morgan pipeline just took a turn for the seriously weird today, but the path has never been clear.\nThe Alberta oil sands lie under thousands of square kilometers of boreal forest, wetland and muskeg. Bitumen is a viscous substance found in small concentrations amid the rock and soil. It is either mined out from huge open pits, or pumped out through in situ production, injecting hot water deep into the ground to loosen it. Either way, the resulting product highly polluting, very expensive to produce and of low value. Bitumen is a solid. To be refined, bitumen must undergo costly upgrading. Bitumen, being both low value and expensive to produce, would never have been developed without government subsidies, with the lowest royalty rates in the world at 1% and massive federal subsidies of several billion/year.\nBefore the 2008 global financial crisis, there were upgraders and refineries being planned. But when the recession hit, those investments, along with any new oil sands mines, retreated. When the economy recovered, oil sands expansion came back. But not the upgraders and refineries. Instead, for the first time, industry began to promote pipelines. Keystone was the first pipeline proposed to run north-south to take Canadian bitumen to other countries for processing.\nSince bitumen is a solid, there is nothing logical about proposing to move it through a pipeline. Stirring in fossil fuel condensate (essentially naptha) creates a mixture sufficiently liquid to flow through a pipeline, without the expense of upgrading it to synthetic crude. The resulting mix of condensate (called diluent) and bitumen is called dilbit. And it is very challenging to clean up. The 2010 dilbit spill in Kalamazoo, Michigan was the first time regulators realized dilbit behaved very differently than conventional crude. The diluent is highly toxic and volatile. Diluent separated from bitumen and bitumen sank to the river bottom.\nBy the 2011 election, pipelines had become a political issue. Former prime minister, Conservative Stephen Harper, an Albertan who stood four-square for fossil fuel development, opposed any pipelines heading to the British Columbia coastline. Harper’s position was that Canada should not export bitumen to countries with lower environmental standards for refineries than Canada.\nJustin Trudeau announced support for the Kinder Morgan pipeline. In doing so, he violated election promises to respect indigenous rights\nWithin months of that election, difficulties in gaining US permits for Keystone led to an entirely new position. With Harper’s support, Enbridge proposed a pipeline to Kitimat on the BC coast. In 2013, Texas-based Kinder Morgan asked to build a second pipeline more or less along the lines of the Transmountain pipeline purchased from a Canadian company from Alberta to Burnaby, not far from Vancouver BC. Kinder Morgan’s pipeline expansion would be 100% dilbit for export. It would increase tanker traffic, loaded with dilbit, seven-fold.\nTo grease the gears for pipeline approval, Harper gutted environmental laws. The resulting environmental review of the Kinder Morgan expansion was the worst in Canadian history. No longer reviewed by our environmental assessment agency, the pipeline was before the National Energy Board. Intervenor rights, such as cross examination of industry witnesses, were eliminated. Many intervenors withdrew alleging the process was “rigged.”\nIn the 2015 election campaign, Justin Trudeau pledged that no project could be approved based on such an inadequate process. Trudeau promised evidence-based decisions, respect for indigenous rights, the end to fossil fuel subsidies and an aggressive climate plan.\nIn 2016, the Liberals turned down the Enbridge pipeline due to the court ruling the previous government violated indigenous rights. Simultaneously, Trudeau announced support for the Kinder Morgan pipeline. In doing so, he violated election promises to respect indigenous rights, to base decisions on evidence, and to pursue real climate action. Having approved Kinder Morgan, he and his ministers became increasingly pro-pipeline.\nMeanwhile fifteen different court cases were working through the Federal Court of Appeal. The new BC government raised its concerns about the threat of a dilbit spill and to survival of the endangered southern Resident Killer Whales. In March, I was one of the several hundred people arrested protesting the Kinder Morgan pipeline. As opposition built in British Columbia, Trudeau insisted the pipeline was in the national interest and must be built. On April 8th, Kinder Morgan upped the ante and demanded the federal government remove the uncertainty created by all the court challenges to the project by May 31st.\nAstonishingly, the government announced on May 29th that the government of Canada will buy the existing Transmountain pipeline. Canada will pay $4.5bn for those existing assets, valued by Kinder Morgan in 2007 at $550m . As well, the Trudeau administration says it will get the controversial expansion pipeline built. Kinder Morgan had pegged those costs at $7.4bn, and that is just the beginning of federal liabilities. With this, Trudeau’s election promise to end fossil fuel subsidies is violated in spectacular fashion.\nWe await the court decisions. This battle is a long way from over.']

Question: Porter, Wizards ease to 115-98 victory over Magic

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — If the Washington Wizards are missing All-Star point guard John Wall, they certainly aren't showing it.
Washington won its fourth straight game while Wall is sidelined because of a knee injury, pounding the Orlando Magic 115-98 on Saturday night.
Tomas Satoransky, who replaced Wall in the starting lineup, had a career-high 19 points, six assists and wasn't needed in the fourth quarter after helping the Wizards blow open the game in the third.
Otto Porter led Washington with 20 points. Bradley Beal, who also sat out the final period, had 18 points, eight assists and eight rebounds. Marcin Gortat contributed 10 points and 11 rebounds, and Markieff Morris had 16 points as all five starters hit double figures.
"With John being out, it's even more of a challenge for us, but we accept it head on," Beal said. "We weren't playing our style of basketball early in the season and over the course of the last four games, we've figured it out. We're moving the ball and playing really well."

Washington had 35 assists in the game, while shooting 54.1 percent from the field. The Wizards used a 10-0 run the final four minutes of the first half and an 18-5 run in the middle of the third quarter to open a 23-point lead.
Many of Washington's baskets were layups after thread-the-needle passes in traffic or wide open 3-pointers when Orlando's defense collapsed inside.
"Maybe teams are underestimating us," Gortat said. "Maybe they think because we don't have John, we're going to come in and lay down, but we're not. We're fighting. We have smart guys, who are playing hard for each other and it's working."
Orlando was coming off one of its best performances of the season, a 127-105 rout of the Los Angeles Lakers. The Magic haven't won two straight since Nov. 10 and didn't look all that interested in changing that against the Wizards.

After Washington's third-quarter burst put Orlando in a 23-point hole, the Magic couldn't get the lead under 17 the rest of the game.
Jonathon Simmons and Mario Hezonja led Orlando with 15 points apiece. The Magic had seven players in double figures, including 14 from Elfrid Payton, but never seriously challenged the Wizards in the second half.
"We just got our butts kicked for four quarters," Magic coach Frank Vogel said. "We had a poor defensive effort throughout. First unit, second unit, we just didn't have the necessary energy to compete and get a win."

Magic: PF Aaron Gordon, team's leading scorer, thought he would return from a strained hip flexor, but couldn't make it through Friday's practice and missed his third straight game. . Marreesse Speights replaced Gordon in the starting lineup and had 10 points and two rebounds. . Hezonja is 10 of 14 (71.4 percent) on 3-pointers in his last three games.
