Question: The Perplexing Psychology Of Saving For Health Care

Spending your own money on health care might mean that you'll be more frugal with it. That's the theory behind health savings accounts, a decades-old GOP concept that's sparking renewed interest on Capitol Hill as Republican lawmakers look for ways to replace the Affordable Care Act.
HSAs are like personal savings accounts — with a difference. As with a retirement account, money put into an HSA can be invested, and any growth in the fund accumulates tax-free. Withdrawals can be made at any time, and they are tax-free, too — but the money can only be used to pay for certain medical expenses, such as health insurance deductibles, or for copays for hospital care or a visit to the doctor.
Currently, HSAs are only available to people who have high-deductible health plans, meaning they usually pay a few thousand dollars for medical care each year before their insurance kicks in to pay its share. While HSA participation is growing, only about 20 million people out of the 176 million who have health insurance participate in these savings accounts, according to a 2015 report by the Association of Health Insurance Plans.
Why don't more people who are eligible for HSAs have them? For one thing, not everyone has money to contribute upfront. But psychologists and behavioral economists point out that even many people who have the extra cash on hand confront big psychological barriers to saving.
"How we think and feel is directly tied to our ability to make 'good' financial decisions," says Alycia DeGraff, a board member and secretary of the Financial Therapy Association. DeGraff says when faced with financial decisions about the future, many people simply get stressed-out.
"These stressors can become so overwhelming that ... we can become debilitated and ignore the situation all together," she says. "Or we can practice any kind of defense mechanism — entitlement, suppression, overcompensation, isolation, etc. — to try and deal with [it]."
This may explain, at least in part, why middle-class Americans are pretty bad at saving money in general. Only about half of us have money in any sort of retirement account. And those of us who are parents have only saved, on average, enough to pay for about one year at an in-state college for our kids.
Saving money is hard. It means setting aside what we want now for something we think we'll want or need later. And we live in a culture that offers a lot of pretty, shiny, things to buy RIGHT NOW.
Plus, we all pretend we won't get old or sick.
"People are predictably irrational," says Dr. Mitesh Patel, especially when it comes to money. He's a behavioral economist, physician and assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine.
But many of us really hate to lose money, Patel says, which is what makes the concept of HSAs is so appealing.
For example he and his colleagues published a study last year in the Annals of Internal Medicine on what motivates people to lose weight, and found that the way a financial incentive was framed made all the difference.
The researchers observed three groups of people for 13 weeks. They told one group to walk 7,000 steps a day. About 30 percent of the group did so. Meanwhile, people assigned to the second group were told they'd be paid $1.40 every day they walked 7,000 steps. About 35 percent of the second group did so.
Here's the kicker: Each person in the third group was paid $42 upfront and was docked $1.40 each time they failed to meet their goal. Forty-five percent of that group met the assigned goal, Patel says. People hate to lose money.
Another way to encourage more saving might be to make HSAs operate more like the 401(k)s that required people who didn't want to participate to actively opt out of the plan — rather than requiring people who want to contribute to opt in. "This creates a path of least resistance," Patel says.
Of course, setting up and overseeing such a plan would likely cost the government some money, he notes.
People with HSAs do use less health care than those without such plans, a recent study from the Employee Benefits Research Institute suggests. But it's unclear whether they actually improve their health. Prescription drug costs went down for people enrolled in HSAs in the EBRI study, but emergency room visits went up — particularly for lower-income families.
Then there's the issue of figuring out how much you, as an individual or a family, would need to save for health care — it's not easy to find out the average price for a medical test or procedure in your town, let alone how much that price varies from doctor to doctor or hospital to hospital.
"If you want to save for a house, you can pretty much figure out the math," Patel says. "But if you go to a doctor, they don't give you a menu for prices."
To really increase their health savings — or any savings — we'd all need to change our mindset, says Degraff, the financial therapist.
"People would have to first take a dose of reality and get real about their future selves," she says. Naturally, we thing our future selves will be "better, healthier, more financially secure," she adds. But, for many of us, health and income eventually decline with age. We need to save more now for later.
HSAs can be useful, Degraff notes, but only for those who have enough cash to pay their day-to-day expenses — plus a little left over.
"A lot of people don't even have a regular emergency fund savings," DeGraff says, "especially those that are already struggling to pay for health insurance."

Question: Dave Eggers' Resistance Reading

We asked a range of authors, artists, and poets to name books that bring solace or understanding in this age of rancor. Two dozen or so responded. Here are picks from the prolific author and McSweeney's founder Dave Eggers, who recently co-wrote and co-directed (with James Ponsoldt) the upcoming movie version of his 2013 dystopian novel, The Circle.
Latest book: Heroes of the Frontier
Also known for: A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
Recommended reading: Over the holidays I read It Can't Happen Here, and that was a helpful bit of fascist prophecy. But the book I'm going back to now is one a friend of mine, Flagg Taylor, edited a few years ago, called The Great Lie. The book collects essays by a wide range of writers who lived under tyranny, and the results are richly rewarding and surprisingly accessible. Taylor is a professor at Skidmore College and the book is about 800 pages, and yet it's eminently approachable by anyone interested in seeing the parallels between our current flirtations with truthless fascism and those societies that were truly crushed by totalitarianism. Everyone you could think of is in there—Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Václav Havel, Hannah Arendt—and some lesser-known essayists like Aurel Kolnai and Waldemar Gurian get their due, too. The title, of course, references the sort of lie told by authoritarian governments that's so outrageous and unbelievable that citizens feel it must be true. In our age of alternative facts, this collection is timely and deeply unsettling.

Rio Ferdinand has revealed his regret at Manchester United's failure to land Neymar.
The Brazilian superstar completed a stunning world-record move to PSG earlier this month and scored on his debut against Guingamp on Sunday.
He has been heavily linked with United in recent years and Ferdinand believes he would have been the perfect addition, reports the Manchester Evening News.
"Neymar’s up for £196m… Man United are one of the richest clubs in the world," he told his Youtube channel Five .
"I would have loved to have seen him go to Manchester United.

"Neymar in a red Man United shirt? Number 7, woah, or number 11.
"Dirty, it would have been dirty but it wasn’t to be."
United broke the world transfer record last summer to re-sign Paul Pogba from Juventus for £89.3m
And, although Neymar has gone for more than double that fee, Mourinho believes it should not come as a surprise.
"When we paid that amount for Paul I told that he was not expensive," he said earlier this month. "Expensive are the ones that get into a certain level without a certain quality.
"I think with Neymar it's going to happen the same, I don't think he's expensive for £200million, I don't think he's expensive, I think he's expensive the fact that now you are going to have more players of £100million and you are going to have more players at £80million and you are going to have more players at £60million.
"And I think that's the problem because Neymar is one of the best payers in the world, commercially he's very strong and, for sure, Paris Saint-Germain thought about it, so I don't think the problem is Neymar, I think the problem is the consequences."

Arsenal will join Manchester City in the race to sign Riyad Mahrez this summer after the Leicester star's move to the Etihad broke down on deadline day.
The Algerian winger submitted a transfer request and has since gone AWOL, missing training with the Foxes.
Claude Puel left his star man out of the 1-1 draw vs Swansea and now the Gunners are looking to take advantage of the situation.
Leicester will likely sell their star man this summer to extract maximum value - with only two years remaining on his contract - and the Star report the Blues now have a fight on their hands to sign him in the next window.
A dream to work with Pep Guardiola may be spurned by Mahrez is Arsene Wenger offers him a starring role at the Emirates.

Rajya Sabha Chairman Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday said his decision to reject the impeachment motion against Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra was 'timely and not a hasty one' and came after over a month of due diligence, according to sources.
'Freedom of expression allows that but ultimately truth prevails. I have done the just thing in the best possible manner expected of me,' sources quoted Naidu as saying, a day after he rejected the impeachment motion. He said his decision was in strict conformity with the provisions of the Constitution and the Judges Inquiry Act of 1968.
'I have done my job and am satisfied with it,' Naidu was quoted as telling a group of 10 Supreme Court lawyers who met him to compliment him over the decision.
The Rajya Sabha Chairman's office is not a mere post office but a constitutional functionary, Naidu, who is also the Vice President, told the group.
According to sources, Naidu said the chief justice of India is the highest judicial functionary of the country and 'any issue in public domain concerning him requires to be resolved at the earliest following prescribed procedures so as to prevent the atmosphere from being further vitiated'.
Naidu on Monday rejected the notice by seven opposition parties, led by the Congress, to impeach the chief justice of India on five grounds of 'misbehaviour', saying the allegations were neither 'tenable nor admissible'.
His order was slammed as 'hasty, illegal and ill-informed' by the Congress.

Question: Trudeau calls van attack ‘horrific and senseless’

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

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau makes a statement on the incident involving pedestrians being struck by a van in Toronto, in the Foyer of the House of Commons on Parliament Hill on Tuesday, April 24, 2018 in Ottawa. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Justin Tang
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his public safety minister are delivering messages of sorrow — but not panic — in the aftermath of a Toronto man’s deadly rampage through city streets in a van.
In an early morning statement, Trudeau said there is no apparent link to terrorism, adding that all Canadians are standing with Toronto as it continues to reel from the attack.

“The events that took place yesterday in Toronto were a senseless attack and a horrific tragedy,” Trudeau said, extending condolences to the victims and thanks to the first responders on the scene.
“They handled this extremely difficult situation with professionalism and bravery. They faced danger without a moment of hesitation, and there is no doubt that their courage saved lives and prevented further injuries.”
Related: Officer’s actions ‘one shining moment’ after Toronto van attack
But while Trudeau says the investigation into the incident is still underway, he says there is no evidence to suggest there is a “national security element” to the situation.
“All Canadians are with Toronto today — in our hearts, in our prayers and in our thoughts.”
Meanwhile, Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale, who happens to be in Toronto for a meeting with other G7 national security ministers, says the attack has led to “a very large homicide investigation,” with city police at the helm and every level of government taking part.
Goodale thanked other countries, especially the United States, for their condolences and offers of help. And he, too, commended the first responders.
Like Trudeau, he reiterated that the investigation “what happened and why” has only just begun, but sees no reason to draw any links to a national security risk or organized attack.
The @TorontoPolice and first responders faced danger without hesitation today, and I want to thank them for their courage and professionalism. We’ll continue working with our law enforcement partners as the investigation continues. — Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) April 24, 2018
The attack began Monday afternoon when a man allegedly drove a van down a busy stretch of sidewalk on Yonge Street in the city’s north end.
Toronto police have arrested 25-year-old Alek Minassian in the incident.
Minassian is due to appear in court later today.
MEDIA ADVISORY:
Alek Minassian, 25
-He will appear in court Tuesday, April 24, 2018

Alek Minassian, the 25-year-old man accused of steering a rental van into pedestrians Monday in North Toronto, killing 10 people and injuring 15, was charged on Tuesday with 10 counts of first-degree murder and 13 more of attempted murder.
WATCH LIVE: Justin Trudeau will deliver a statement in Ottawa on the Toronto van attack at 8:25 a.m. ET. https://t.co/l81iAwQmws — Global News Toronto (@globalnewsto) April 24, 2018
Officials confirmed that the event did not involve national security but “definitely looked deliberate.”
Toronto police confirmed Minassian is from Richmond Hill, Ontario, and that he does not have a criminal record. Former classmates described him as socially withdrawn, but not particularly prone to violence when they knew him. He was a special needs student at Thornlea Secondary School in Toronto, according to Reuters.
Minassian graduated from Thornlea in 2011 and apparently attended Seneca College after that, specializing in developing software. All of that information came from an Internet Archive restoration of his now-defunct Facebook page.
However, his profile on the popular social network may have revealed more. Not long after the attack, a Facebook post seemingly from Minassian’s account expressed admiration for online hate groups. The post is gone now, but a Facebook employee reportedly confirmed its authenticity to Buzzfeed News.
“The Incel Rebellion has already begun! We will overthrow all the Chads and Stacys! All hail the Supreme Gentleman Elliot Rodger!” the post read.

“Incel” is an abbreviation of “involuntary celibacy,” or some variation thereof. The word gained traction in recent years in certain online communities to describe men who hold misogynist views stemming from a lack of sexual activity. Reddit banned the site’s large Incels community in 2017.
Elliot Rodger infamously published a manifesto detailing his views on women before killing six people in Isla Vista, California, in 2014. Rodger’s manifesto referenced a lack of sexual attention from women.
Buzzfeed also spoke to a woman who attended elementary school with Minassian. She noted that, as a child, he was prone to tantrums and was known to hit people. The woman did not attend school with him after the age of 10.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addressed the deadly attack Tuesday morning, emphasizing that it did not indicate any terroristic threat towards Canadian national security.
“The events that took place yesterday in Toronto were a senseless attack and a horrific tragedy,” Trudeau said, according to Global News. “On behalf of all Canadians I offer my deepest heartfelt condolences to the loved ones of all those who were killed and we wish a full recovery to those injured and stand with the families and friends of the victims.”

Question: ‘Hey Mercedes’ - Daimler takes on Silicon Valley with hi-tech A-Class

Daimler’s new Mercedes A-Class, unveiled on Friday, includes the German automaker’s own machine-learning and voice recognition technology in one of the industry’s boldest attempts so far to take on Silicon Valley’s finest.
The Mercedes “MBUX” dashboard system to be rolled out across the lineup is about as capable at understanding what you say – and more importantly what you mean – as Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri or Alphabet’s Google Assistant. Its debut comes as carmakers are embroiled in a tech arms race, raising questions about the ultimate profitability of new services that often duplicate those available on smartphones. Daimler itself warned on Thursday that 2018 profit growth would be dampened by technology investment.
Carmakers, especially premium manufacturers, are resisting the encroachment of tech giants on several fronts including autonomous driving and connected services – whose commercial potential multiplies with voice recognition and assistance. “It’s fine to have Google or Amazon voice apps sitting alongside the main one, but no car company wants the voice activation that controls the air con to be Alexa,” said Mike Ramsey, a Detroit-based analyst with tech research firm Gartner.
The Daimler system “narrows the gap with tech,” Ramsey said. “If it works as advertised, Mercedes will have set a new standard and given hope to other automakers that they can build a voice interface that actually works like Siri or Google.”

Mercedes is updating its A-Class with a new look and engines, roomier interior and semi-autonomous driving features that can help pilot the car in highway traffic.But its biggest draw is the MBUX system, presented on two large horizontal touch-screens that dispense entirely with dashboard instruments. It uses artificial intelligence to make sense of commands and even anticipate them by learning the preferences and habits of up to eight different users. Spoken instructions can command everything from navigation to infotainment. Other auto brands have taken a more affordable approach, often using “mirroring”, which grants access to smartphone apps via a touch-screen interface. Some also route vocal commands straight to Siri, Alexa or Google.
‘NO CHOICE’
Daimler hopes customers already used to voice assistants won’t miss Siri or Alexa when they climb aboard and must remember to preface requests with “hey Mercedes” instead. The A-Class could be a test of whether carmakers can make bespoke voice assistants a selling point that customers are prepared to pay more for. Daimler Chief Executive Dieter Zetsche rebuffed that idea. “We’ve tested it already,” he told reporters at the Amsterdam launch. “We don’t test on our customers.”
Unlike its cloud-based rivals, available only when online, the Mercedes assistant uses embedded software from Nuance Communications, a Massachussets-based voice recognition specialist, to continue functioning when data connections fail.
Mercedes declined to say whether the current A-Class starting price of 24,000 euros ($30,000) would rise with the new model. But its profitability will, Zetsche insisted – citing axles among mechanical components where savings had been found to offset higher tech spending.
Carmakers now have “no choice” but to put their best technology into their smallest cars, Evercore analyst Arndt Ellinghorst said. “Otherwise those cars would be uncompetitive.” “Everyone’s using Waze for navigation on their mobile phones because onboard navigation systems are so outdated,” he said. “These things need to change.”
The technology giants are pushing harder for dashboard space. Apple’s CarPlay mirroring service includes Siri and is now available on more than 200 vehicle models, while a three-year effort by Amazon has placed Alexa in Ford and Toyota cars.
Suppliers are also jostling. At the CES tech show in Las Vegas, Panasonic showcased an upgraded infotainment system based on Google software, allowing drivers to use voice commands to pull up directions or access some vehicle controls. The growing interest among suppliers, and Nuance’s embedded software technology, may open the way for other carmakers to follow Daimler’s lead, Gartner’s Ramsey predicts.
“Really slick integration of voice activation systems is the big tech thing we’re going to see in cars over the next couple of years,” he said.

Question: Korean unity at Vatican? Not so fast, but pope cheers anyway

Pope Francis thanked the athletes for their exhibition “which was a show of the will for peace, the two Koreas together.”

South Korean taekwondo athletes have performed for Pope Francis, after a planned show of Korean unity at the Vatican fell apart when the North pulled out at the last minute.
Pope Francis didn’t seem to notice or mind, thanking the athletes Wednesday for their exhibition “which was a show of the will for peace, the two Koreas together.”
South Korea’s World Taekwondo organization, the Seoul-led international body, said last week that a demonstration team from the North withdrew from the performance over the U.S.-South Korean military drills.
The performance had been planned to ceremonially open the World Taekwondo’s Grand Prix competition this week in Rome.
The South’s team performed for thousands of people in St. Peter’s Square and featured a young girl releasing a dove in a sign of peace.

To give you a sense - "['This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title', 'When motel vouchers were being passed out to homeless people on the first day of Orange County’s effort to clear homeless encampments from the Santa Ana riverbed, some in line had been sleeping elsewhere: in cars, on friends’ sofas.

She held her sleeping, 1-year-old son while her 6-year-old sat in the shade with her ex-husband.\n“I lived in my car for a month, then my uncle took us in,” she said. Most recently, she had been sleeping in an emergency shelter for families.\nHer story illustrates the fact that Orange County’s homeless problem is much bigger than just the riverbed, where at least 400 people had been living in arguably the county\'s highest profile encampment.\nBut on any given night, nearly 5,000 people go without permanent shelter, according to the 2017 Point In Time homeless count.\nA few miles away from the riverbed homeless encampment, more than 100 people camp nightly in Santa Ana civic center.\nEven more alarming, OC school districts identified 27,000 homeless kids in the 2016-2017 school year, the most recent available data, a number that includes kids whose families are doubled and tripled-up in cramped apartments. More than 2,800 of those children lived in shelters, motels or on the streets.\nShortly after the riverbed clearing got started on Tuesday, several county officials complained that homeless people were being dropped off from elsewhere, confounding workers’ attempts to find shelter for all riverbed residents, whose estimated numbers range from 400 to 1,000 people.\nMany of those not on the county\'s list of known riverbed campers were offered a bed in one of the county’s emergency shelters. Some, including Sophia and her family, were eventually given a motel voucher.\nSome advocates for the homeless who have been monitoring the riverbed clearing said the county should help all homeless people who show up needing assistance, not just those on the county’s list.\n“A lot of these cities aren’t taking care of their own backyards and making sure that people have affordable housing,” said R. Joshua Collins, who heads a group called Homeless Advocates for Christ. “So we’re going to have to work together to make this problem go away. We can’t just ignore it anymore."\nOC’s homeless czar Susan Price said Thursday that the flow of outsiders hoping for motel vouchers had tapered off and that the county was well on its way to meeting its goal of clearing the riverbed by the end of the week.\n“Initially it did slow us down,” she said. “But we’re right in the heart of the encampment now, and we know the people that we’re working with."\nShe said the riverbed clearing is a chance for the county to show what it can do to address what many considered the toughest population to help.\n“I want to see the system expand and wrap its arms around the people who want help,” Price said.\nShe acknowledged the county’s lack of affordable housing is still a major challenge. But she said county officials had recently put a call out to OC cities to develop 2,700 units of permanent supportive housing for all the county\'s homeless over the next three years.']" should be close to "['Represent this title to get a news article that provides more details about it.', "OC's homelessness problem is bigger than the Santa Ana riverbed - much bigger"]"

China and the Vatican are close to reaching a historic deal regarding the appointment of bishops, according to media reports.
An agreement could be signed in a few months, said a senior Vatican source. If reached, it would be a breakthrough in relations for both parties.
But what exactly is in the pipeline and what would it mean for the country's 10 million Catholics?
What are relations between China and the Vatican like?
Ties between two have long been strained by disputes over who can appoint bishops in the country.
China first broke off diplomatic ties with the Holy See in 1951, and many Catholics were forced to go underground during former communist leader Mao Zedong's rule, emerging only in the 1980s when religious practices were tolerated again.
Today, Catholics in China face the choice of attending state-sanctioned churches approved by Beijing or worshipping in underground congregations.
The underground churches recognise only the Vatican's authority, whereas the Chinese state churches refuse to accept the authority of the Pope.
There are currently about 100 Catholic bishops in China, with some approved by Beijing, some approved by the Vatican and, informally, many now approved by both.
Image caption People praying at an underground church
Relations between both parties appear to be thawing.
Last year, Pope Francis made his thoughts about China known, saying that he would like to visit China "as soon as they send me an invitation". The pontiff also added that he hoped there was the "possibility to have good relations with China".
Chinese and Vatican officials have met at least four times since 2016 over the issue of the appointment of bishops, state media report.
What is in the agreement?
Under the agreement, the Vatican would be given a say in the appointment of future bishops in China, a Vatican source told news agency Reuters.
For Beijing, an agreement with the Vatican could allow them more control over the country's underground churches.

Globally, it would also enhance China's prestige - to have the world's rising superpower engaging with one of the world's major religions.
Symbolically, it would the first sign of rapprochement between China and the Catholic church in more than half a century.
The Vatican is the only European state that maintains formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan. It is currently unclear if an agreement between China and the Vatican would affect this in any way.
What will this mean for the country's Catholics?
There are currently around 10 million Roman Catholics in China.
It's not certain how such an agreement will affect the community, though some are sceptical.
Cardinal Joseph Zen of Hong Kong had on Wednesday criticised the Vatican for its attempts at diplomacy with China, accusing the Church of forcing bishops to retire in favour of replacements picked by Beijing.
"Do I think that the Vatican is selling out the Catholic Church in China?" he wrote on Facebook. "Yes, definitely."
Others however, are slightly more hopeful.
Father Jeroom Heyndrickx, a Belgian priest who has spent 60 years trying to help Chinese Catholics, said that he believed China was "ready to have a dialogue."
"For 2,000 years in China, the emperor was emperor and pope at the same time," he told the BBC. "But China has changed and the Church has changed and this is what constitutes a new opportunity for this dialogue to succeed."

Question: IMF tells Ukraine to tackle pricey pension system

represent this text to find a news title for it

The IMF's chief to Ukraine told Kiev Tuesday its pension system was unsustainable because it supported nearly a third of the population and must limit the number of retirees.
The International Monetary Fund has long pressed Ukraine to tackle its budget-draining social welfare program for retired workers as part of a broader overhaul that could get future lending from the West back on track.
Van Rooden did not explicitly say that Ukraine must raise its pension age in order to receive future loan disbursements under a $17.5 billion (16.4 billion euro) program agreed in 2015 .
Ukraine hopes to secure another $4.5 billion from the Fund this year.
A memorandum signed between Kiev and the IMF requires parliament to adopt pension system enhancements by the end of the month.

KIEV Ukraine's central bank governor, Valeria Gontareva, resigned on Monday, depriving the country of a tough reformer capable of taking on vested interests at a time when the economy is just recovering from a steep recession.
She warned at a news conference that resistance to change would now increase.
The resignation -- effective on May 10 -- comes a week after the International Monetary Fund, which supports Ukraine with a $17.5 billion bailout package, said domestic politics could derail crucial reforms such as raising the pension age and lifting a ban on land sales. (For graphic on Ukraine's politics and economy click bit.ly/2optThb)
Praised by investors and the IMF, Gontareva's tough anti-crisis measures saw her vilified by some lawmakers and local businessmen. A hate campaign against her included a protester leaving a coffin at her door.
The former investment banker and business partner of President Petro Poroshenko took charge nearly three years ago after Russia's annexation of Crimea and with Ukraine in the throes of a pro-Russian separatist uprising.
Gontareva stressed on Monday that her departure would not change central bank policy or the make up of its board in the near future, and she emphasised the importance of continued cooperation with the IMF to guarantee stability and keep the hryvnia steady.
But she left with a final warning shot, calling for the central bank to stay independent and told reporters: "I believe that resistance to changes and reforms will grow stronger now."
Her departure as head of the National Bank of Ukraine leaves Poroshenko with one fewer ally in power at a time when lenders already question his ability to follow through on promised reforms. It nearly completes an exodus of reformers who were appointed after Poroshenko's pro-Western administration took charge following the Maidan street protests in 2013-2014.
Other reformers who quit or were pushed out include Economy Minister Aivaras Abromavicius and the head of the national police.
The IMF's representative to Ukraine praised Gontareva's clean-up of the banking system and her track record of bringing down inflation and rebuilding reserves.
"It will be critical to select a new governor of high professional quality and independence who can continue on the good road on which Ms. Gontareva has placed the (central bank)," Jerome Vacher said in an emailed statement to Reuters.
Poroshenko's office said the president would submit his nomination for the next chief to parliament when an appropriate candidate had been agreed on.
DIFFICULT YEARS AHEAD
Gontareva introduced sweeping reforms, including shutting down half Ukraine's lenders and switching to a flexible exchange rate. Economic growth is expected to be 2 percent this year, according to the IMF's forecast.
As if to underline the kind of conflicts in store for her successor, around 100 protesters gathered at the Kiev headquarters of the Russian-owned Sberbank on Monday, demanding the bank be shut down, a Reuters witness said.
Accused of being a Russian stooge, Gontareva had called for the protesters to end a campaign to vandalise and obstruct the work of Kremlin-owned lenders, warning of the threat to financial stability.
One of her biggest reforms was nationalising PrivatBank, an oligarch-owned lender of systemic importance which she said lent all its corporate loans to parties related to its owners.
On Monday, she alleged that 16 billion hryvnias ($594 million) had been withdrawn from PrivatBank the night before it was taken over by the state, and the bank therefore now needs additional recapitalisation.
Glib Vyshlinsky, executive director of the Center for Economic Strategy, said Ukraine faces a difficult future as it has to service nearly $13 billion of external debt.
"If Gontareva leaves and her post will be taken by someone weaker and more controlled by different interest groups, this will mean that the ability to finance these payments without default and without threats to financial stability will decrease," he said.
"This will be quite a serious risk for Poroshenko's re-election in 2019 as well as for gaining control in the parliament."
The hryvnia currency was steady on Monday.
"She has been guiding the Ukrainian economy fairly well over these extremely challenging times, so I think this would be read negatively by the market. Of course we have to see who will be the replacement," said Jakob Christensen, head of emerging markets research, Danske Bank.
Gontareva had signalled in March that she would quit after the IMF dispersed its latest tranche of aid.
"Yesterday there was a coffin with my head in it at the main entrance of the central bank," she told journalists on March 2. "If the whole country sees that as normal, then that's that."

The Techiman North District Office of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) has embarked on a district-wide sensitization campaign on the need to protect the environment and pay taxes regularly.
The sensitization programme formed part of activities marking this year's Citizenship Week celebrations, which took place on the theme: Our Nation Our Heritage: Consolidating Ghana's Democratic Gains.
Mr Mohammed Busi, District Director of NCCE, and his team visited Aye Owen International School where the educated students on what taxes are used for.
Mr Busi said the need to pay taxes was a civic responsibility and a requirement by law to enable government raise more revenue for development, citing article (41) (1) of the 1992 Republican Constitution of Ghana which enjoins all citizens to declare their income honestly to the appropriate and lawful agencies and to satisfy all tax obligations.
Mr Busi said tax evasion was punishable by law and urged all to pay their taxes without delay to enable government provide social amenities such as electricity, health facilities, portable water, roads and schools in the communities.
He said the NCCE had had meaningful engagements with various trade associations, identifiable groups, religious organizations including churches and mosques, and schools within the Techiman North District and its environs.

It is everybody’s responsibility to ensure that the right content is created, people connect with others appropriately and people are mindful of what they share about themselves and other people on the Internet. It is only by such careful steps that the Internet could be a better place for all,” Mr. Vincent Sowah Odotei said.
He added: “Events are taking place in all the 10 regions and we encourage opinion leaders, policy makers, teachers, parents, and children to take part in the discussions in the regions.”
A dossier, this time in the form of signatures were built and presented on behalf of the children and young people of Ghana to the MP to be passed on to Parliament for the protection of children and young people .
Meanwhile, J Initiative and SIDGhana partners are pleased to announce that Safer Internet Day 2018 (#SID2018) will be celebrated in Ghana on Tuesday 6th February 2018.
The celebration this year themed “Create, Connect and Share Respect: A better Internet Starts with you” will be marked by community durbars in all the 10 regions of the Republic of Ghana with Protection campaigns, media discussions and a Public Dialogue.

Image copyright AFP Image caption Pope Francis greeted some of the participants in the congress
Pope Francis delivered his first-ever address by Facebook Live on Friday - to coincide, aptly, with the end of a week-long event on children and technology.
But as he extolled the importance of protecting children, senior church figures in his own church are mired in abuse scandals.
This was the final day of an almost week-long congress on "child dignity in the digital age".
Hosted by the Centre for Child Protection at the Gregorian University in Rome, it brought together academics, digital companies, and church leaders in was an attempt to focus on the predicament of children online.
It's estimated that there are 3.2 billion users of the internet, of which a quarter (800 million) are children or adolescents.
That's 800 million young people who may be the victims of cyber-bullying, sexting, "sex-tortion", and harassment.
And so the Pope - in conjunction with a special live feed provided by Facebook - took to the stage and offered a fairly raw and uncensored homily on the subject.
What did he say?
From the outset, Pope Francis acknowledged the many benefits that have emerged from digital technology.
"However", he said, "we face a dark side of this new-found world, a world which is enabling a host of social ills that are harming the most vulnerable members of society."
"This is the existential question facing humanity today", he said, and warned: "We have to keep our eyes open and not hide from the unpleasant truth that we would rather not see."
Skip Twitter post by @Pontifex Let us ensure that the Internet is a safe and richly human place for children: a network that does not entrap them but helps them to grow. — Pope Francis (@Pontifex) October 6, 2017 Report
He then went on to describe a litany of abuses that originate online - the solicitation of minors for sex, people trafficking, even the commissioning and live viewing of acts of rape and violence against minors.
He also warned of the dangers of underestimating the impact and harm done to children who may be viewing such horrendous images.
"The progress of neurobiology, psychology and psychiatry have brought to light the profound impact of violent and sexual images on the impressionable minds of children."
Hypocrisy?
Image copyright EPA Image caption Cardinal Pell is accused of historical child sexual abuse, and will face a hearing in March
Earlier on Friday in Melbourne, Cardinal George Pell - treasurer and one of the most senior figures in the Vatican - appeared in court accused of multiple charges of historical child sexual abuse.
In March next year, Cardinal Pell will face a committal hearing to determine whether there is sufficient evidence for him to stand trial.
He has strongly denied any wrongdoing. His lawyer has said the cleric will plead not guilty to all charges.
In addition, a senior diplomat in the Vatican's embassy in Washington DC, Monsignor Carlo Capella, was accused two weeks ago of possessing child pornography.
Canadian police issued a warrant for his arrest, alleging that he had distributed child pornography during a Christmas visit to Ontario last year.
At the very highest levels of the Vatican, Pope Francis has to deal with allegations of child sexual exploitation.
And so, almost inevitably, the charge of hypocrisy has been levelled against him.
I think this is an attempt by Pope Francis to confront an issue that has cast the darkest of clouds over the entire church's ministry. And since he has never been personally accused of such wrongdoing, it probably enables him to speak with confidence about the issue.
Just two weeks ago, speaking to the Pontifical Ministry for the Protection of Minors (a ministry he set up in 2014), he said that the church had "lagged behind" other institutions and had also engaged in the "wrongful practice" of redeploying priests following allegations of abuse, instead of stopping them from continuing in ministry.
He went on to say that "the Church irrevocably and at all levels intends to apply the principle of 'zero tolerance' against the abuse of minors by members of the church."
The challenge for Pope Francis is whether the credibility of his efforts will continue to be undermined by allegations against such senior figures within the Vatican.

Question: Scandal-hit Weinstein Co. files for bankruptcy protection

Represent the article to find a fitting news title!

NEW YORK: The Weinstein Co. filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday with a buyout offer in hand from a private equity firm, the latest twist in its efforts to survive the sexual misconduct scandal that brought down co-founder Harvey Weinstein, shook Hollywood and triggered a movement that spread out to convulse other industries.The company also announced that it was releasing any victims of or witnesses to Weinstein’s alleged misconduct from non-disclosure agreements preventing them from speaking out. That step had long been sought by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who filed lawsuit against the company last month on behalf of its employees.“Since October, it has been reported that Harvey Weinstein used non-disclosure agreements as a secret weapon to silence his accusers. Effective immediately, those ‘agreements’ end,” the company said in a statement. “No one should be afraid to speak out or coerced to stay quiet.”In a statement, Schneiderman praised the decision as “a watershed moment for efforts to address the corrosive effects of sexual misconduct in the workplace.”The movie and TV studio becomes the first high-profile company to be forced into bankruptcy in the nationwide outcry over workplace sexual misconduct. Dozens of prominent men in entertainment, media, finance, politics and other realms have seen their careers derailed, but no other company has seen its very survival as tightly intertwined with the fate of one man as the Weinstein Co.Some 80 women, including prominent actresses, have accused Harvey Weinstein of misconduct ranging from rape to harassment. Weinstein, who was fired as his company’s CEO in October, has denied any allegations of non-consensual sex.The Weinstein Co. said it has entered into a “stalking horse” agreement with an affiliate of Dallas-based Lantern Capital Partners, meaning the equity firm has agreed to buy the company, subject to approval by the US Bankruptcy Court in Delaware.Lantern had been among a group of investors that had been in talks for months to buy the company outside of bankruptcy. That deal was complicated when Schneiderman filed his lawsuit, citing concerns that the sale would benefit executives accused of enabling Weinstein’s alleged misconduct and provide insufficient guarantees of compensation for his accusers. Talks to revive the sale finally fell apart two weeks ago when the group of buyers said they had discovered undisclosed liabilities.The Weinstein Co. said it chose Lantern as a potential buyer because the firm was committed to keeping on the studio’s employees as a going concern.“While we had hoped to reach a sale out of court, the Board is pleased to have a plan for maximizing the value of its assets, preserving as many jobs as possible and pursuing justice for any victims,” said Bob Weinstein, who co-founded the company with his brother Harvey in 2005 and remains chairman of the board of directors.Lantern co-founders Andy Mitchell and Milos Brajovic said they were committed to “following through on our promise to reposition the business as a pre-eminent content provider, while cultivating a positive presence in the industry.”Under bankruptcy protection, civil lawsuits filed by Weinstein’s accusers will be halted and no new legal claims can be brought against the company. Secured creditors would get priority for payment over the women suing the company.Schneiderman’s lawsuit will not be halted by the bankruptcy filing because it was filed by a law enforcement agency. Schneiderman said his investigation would continue and that his office would engage with the Weinstein Co. and Lantern to ensure “that victims are compensated, employees are protected moving forward, and perpetrators and enablers of abuse are not unjustly enriched.”Other bidders also could emerge during the bankruptcy process, particularly those interested in the company’s lucrative 277-film library, which includes award-winning films from big-name directors like Quentin Tarantino and horror releases from its Dimension label. Free of liabilities, the company’s assets could increase in value in a bankruptcy.In more fallout over the scandal, New York’s governor directed the state attorney general to review a decision by the Manhattan district attorney’s office not to prosecute a 2015 case involving an Italian model who said Weinstein groped her.The bankruptcy process will bring the company’s finances into public view, including the extent of its debt. The buyers who pulled out of the sale earlier this month said they discovered up to $64 million in undisclosed liabilities, including $27 million in residuals and profit participation. Those liabilities came on top of $225 million in debt, which the buyers had said they would be prepared to take on as part of a $500 million acquisition deal.The Weinstein Co. already had been struggling financially before the scandal erupted in October with a news stories in The New York Times and The New Yorker. Harvey and Bob Weinstein started the company after leaving Miramax, the company they founded in 1979 and which became a powerhouse in ‘90s indie film with hits like “Pulp Fiction.” After finding success with Oscar winners “The Artist” and “The King’s Speech,” the Weinstein Co.’s output and relevance diminished in recent years. The company let go 50 employees in 2016 and continuously shuffled release dates while short of cash.Last year, the studio sold distribution rights for the movie “Paddington 2” to Warner Bros. for more than $30 million.

Question: Manhunt expanded for suspect in Facebook video killing

MARK GILLISPIE, Associated Press
CLEVELAND (AP) — Authorities in several states were on the lookout Monday for a man police say shot a Cleveland retiree collecting aluminum cans and then posted video of the apparently random killing on Facebook.
“He could be nearby. He could be far away or anywhere in between,” FBI agent Stephen Anthony said on Day 2 of the manhunt for Steve Stephens, a 37-year-old job counselor for teens and young adults.
Police said Stephens killed Robert Godwin Sr., a 74-year-old former foundry worker, on Sunday.
Investigators said that Godwin was the only victim so far linked to Stephens, despite the suspect’s claim in a separate video on Facebook that he killed over a dozen people.
Officers searched dozens of places around the city and spoke with the suspect by cellphone, police said.
Police Chief Calvin Williams warned residents to be careful as the go about their day.
Authorities also warned people in Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana and Michigan to be alert for Stephens, who was wanted on a charge of aggravated murder.
“We’re going to make this individual’s world very, very small,” said U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott.
Godwin apparently was shot while out picking up cans in a plastic shopping bag, his daughter said.
“Not because he needed the money, it was just something he did,” said 52-year-old Debbie Godwin. “That’s all he was doing. He wasn’t harming anyone.”
She said her father, who had 10 children, was a gentle man with nothing mean about him. “We called him the junk man,” she said. “He’d pick up things off the street and fix them. He picked up bikes and he fixed them.”
The motive for the shooting wasn’t entirely clear from the shaky video, in which Stephens told Godwin a woman’s name and said, “She’s the reason that this is about to happen to you.” Godwin did not seem to recognize the woman’s name.
The suspect then pointed a gun at Godwin, who shielded his face with the plastic bag.
The woman Stephens mentioned, Joy Lane, said in a text to CBS that “we had been in a relationship for several years. I am sorry that all of this has happened.”
She also said Stephens was “a nice guy” who was generous to everyone and was “kind and loving” to her and her children.
Facebook said the video was posted after the killing but wasn’t broadcast on Facebook Live as police initially indicated. The suspect did go live on the social media site at another point Sunday.
The video of the killing was on Facebook for about three hours before it was taken down. Stephens’ Facebook page also was eventually removed.
“This is a horrific crime and we do not allow this kind of content on Facebook,” the company said. “We work hard to keep a safe environment on Facebook, and are in touch with law enforcement in emergencies when there are direct threats to physical safety.”
In the separate video, Stephens said: “I killed 13, so I’m working on 14 as we speak.”
Police said they have not verified any other shootings or deaths.
Stephens worked at Beech Brook, a behavioral health agency headquartered in Pepper Pike, near Cleveland. He helped young people develop job skills and find employment, said Beech Brook spokeswoman Nancy Kortemeyer.
An extensive background check before he was hired turned up nothing worrisome, she said.
“We just hope Mr. Stephens is apprehended as quickly as possible so that no one else is injured,” she said.
In one of the videos, Stephens could be seen holding up his employee identification and said: “I’m killing with my Beech Brook badge on, too.”

Question: Steve Bannon: 'Let them call you racist...Wear it as a badge of honor'

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon on Saturday told a crowd of far-right French politicians to let people label them as "racist," and to consider it "a badge of honor."Bannon, a senior advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump, attended the party congress of France's far-right National Front in the French city of Lille, where he also met with the political party's leader, Marine Le Pen.Clad in his usual field coat and khakis, Bannon stood on stage to address the seated crowd of party elites, who were dressed in suits."Let them call you racist.

President Trump has been labeled a 'f****** idiot' in an on-air rage by John Oliver over the commander-in-chief's failure to condemn white nationalist demonstrators in Charlottesville.
The presenter opened yesterday's Last Week Tonight with a monologue condemning Trump, and implying Trump is 'feeding' Nazis.
In a press conference following the killing of anti-fascist demonstrator Heather Heyer when a car was deliberately driven into a crowd, the President stopped short of condemning the far right groups.
Scroll down for video
John Oliver said the US now has a President who 'cannot even be bothered to f****** condemn (Nazis)'
Instead he said there was 'violence on many sides'.
Speaking on the show, Oliver said: 'On many sides? This was a white nationalist rally. You have to call that out by name.
'There honestly aren’t many instances in modern American politics where you could honestly think "That guy really should’ve mentioned the Nazis", but this is emphatically one of them.
'It’s like a reverse Godwin’s Law: if you fail to mention Nazism, you lose the argument.'
Referring to remarks by former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke - a Trump supporter - Oliver said: 'It simply doesn't get easier than disavowing Nazis'
Oliver fumed: 'What kind of f****** idiot would not immediately distance himself from them?'
The 40-year-old continued: 'So there is clearly no point waiting for leadership from our president in moments like this, because it is just not coming, which means we will have to look to one another, because incredibly, in a country where previous presidents have actually had to defeat Nazis, we now have one who cannot even be bothered to f****** condemn them.'
Instead he fumed: 'What kind of f****** idiot would not immediately distance himself from them?.
'It simply doesn’t get easier than disavowing Nazis. It’s almost as much of a presidential gimme as pardoning a f****** turkey.'
In a press conference following the killing of anti-fascist demonstrator Heather Heyer when a car was deliberately driven into a crowd, the President stopped short of condemning the far right groups
Far-right demonstrators descended on Charlottesville this weekend, prompting authorities to declare a state of emergency
At least 19 people were injured when a car was deliberately driven into a crowd of anti-racism protesters.
White supremacist James Alex Fields Jr has been charged with second-degree murder.
Former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke, who was in Charlottesville, told reporters that the far-right demonstrators wanted to 'fulfill the promises of Donald Trump'.
Saying he wanted to 'take our country back', Duke said: 'That’s what we believed in. That’s why we voted for Donald Trump, because he said he’s going to take our country back.'
Oliver observed: 'I’ve gotta say, David Duke and the Nazis really seem to like Donald Trump'.
He continued:'And that kind of connection there is something that anyone in their right mind would want to immediately and repeatedly disavow, and it’s not like Trump wasn’t given the opportunity.'
The President has been heavily praised from the extreme right, with white supremacist site The Daily Stormer wrote: 'No condemnation at all. When asked to condemn, he just walked out of the room. Really, really good. God bless him,” they wrote.'

Question: Final push for Moore and Jones in Alabama Senate race

Represent this text to find a news title for it.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) — Alabama Democrats see Tuesday’s special Senate election as a chance to renounce a history littered with politicians whose race-baiting, bombast and other baggage have long soiled the state’s reputation beyond its borders.
Many Republicans see the vote as chance to ratify their conservative values and protect President Donald Trump’s agenda ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.
At the center are Republican Roy Moore, a former jurist twice removed as state chief justice and now accused of sexual misconduct with teenage girls decades ago, and Democrat Doug Jones, an erstwhile federal prosecutor best known for prosecuting two Ku Klux Klansmen responsible for killing four black girls in the 1963 bombing of Birmingham’s 16th Street Baptist Church.
The winner will take the seat held previously by Trump’s attorney general, Jeff Sessions. Republicans control the Senate with 52 seats.

In truth, the matchup mixes both Alabama’s tortured history and the nation’s current divisive, bitterly partisan politics, and it has made a spectacle of a Deep South state well acquainted with national scrutiny but not accustomed to competitive general elections.
“This is an election to tell the whole world what we stand for,” Jones told supporters at one stop Sunday, adding that his campaign “is on the right side of history.” At an earlier appearance, he declared Alabama is “at a crossroads” and that Moore, an unapologetic evangelical populist, tries only to “create conflict and division.”
Jones, 63, stops short of explicitly comparing Moore to the four-term Gov. George Wallace, whose populism was rooted in segregation. But Jones alluded Sunday to that era of Alabama politics.
“Elect a responsible man to a responsible office,” Jones said, repeating the campaign slogan of another Alabama governor, Albert Brewer, who nearly defeated Wallace in 1970 in a contest Alabama liberals and many moderates still lament as a lost opportunity.
Some of Jones’ supporters put it even more bluntly. “I thought Alabama’s image was pretty much at the bottom,” said Pat Lawrence, a retired software engineer in Huntsville. A Moore win, Lawrence added, “will be a whole new bottom.”
Those concerns extend even to some GOP quarters. Alabama’s senior senator, Richard Shelby, confirmed Sunday that he did not vote for Moore, saying he wrote in another “distinguished” party figure he declined to name.
Yet for many Republicans, Moore is a paragon of traditional values. They reject accusations that he molested two teenage girls and pursued relationships with others decades ago. Moore denies the charges.
“Everyone has to vote their convictions,” said Kevin Mims of Montgomery, as he held his Bible outside his Baptist church Sunday in Montgomery. “My conviction is he’s the right man for the job.”
Where Moore’s critics see a state judge who defied federal courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision legalizing same-sex marriage, Mims see a stalwart who stands “on the word of God.” Other conservatives see an anti-establishment firebrand in the mold of Trump, who won Alabama by 28 percentage points.
Moore encourages that view with fundraising emails that urge backers to help him “defeat the elite,” a swipe at both Democrats and the establishment Republicans who tried to deny him the GOP nomination earlier this year.
Ultimately, Republicans from Moore to Trump himself are betting on a simple bottom line: Most Alabama conservatives simply won’t defect to a Democrat.
“If Alabama elects liberal Democrat Doug Jones, all of our progress will be stopped cold,” Trump says in a robocall the Moore campaign plans to push out Monday.
The president also invokes a common fear among Republicans, calling Jones “a puppet of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer,” the Democratic House and Senate leaders in Washington, both of them reviled by conservative voters. “Roy Moore is the guy we need to pass our Make American Great Again agenda,” the president insists.
Moore’s baggage could make it difficult to draw conclusions about what the results might mean beyond Alabama, but both parties are watching closely.
Democrats need to flip 24 GOP-held seats to reclaim a House majority, and they’re trying to dent the slim Republican advantage in the Senate and its dominance of statehouses around the country. In many of those races, they’ll need the same thing Jones must get to win in Alabama: strong turnout among young and non-white voters, along with improved performance among suburban moderates.
A Jones victory would be hailed as a potential precursor, and Democrats have indicated they have a post-Alabama strategy even if Jones loses: They’ll take Alabama’s brand national, hammering Republicans as “the party of Donald Trump and Roy Moore.”

(AP) — California would set standards for organic marijuana, allow pot samples at county fairs and permit home deliveries under legislation set to be considered by lawmakers Thursday as the state prepares for next year’s start of legal marijuana sales.\nLawmakers and Gov. Jerry Brown’s administration are working to merge California’s new voter-approved recreational pot law with the state’s longstanding medical marijuana program. They have settled on an array of regulations to protect consumers and public safety while ensuring taxes are collected.\nThe provisions were tucked into the state budget agreement between Brown and top legislative Democrats announced this week following months of negotiations with businesses operating illegally or in the legal medical marijuana field and investors who want to enter the nation’s largest legal marijuana market.\n“One of the biggest challenges we have is taking a multi-billion-dollar industry out of the dark and now into the light,” said Sen. Mike McGuire, a Democrat whose district includes much of Northern California’s prime marijuana growing region.\nBy 2018, state officials must have crafted regulations and rules governing the emerging legal marijuana market with an estimated annual sales value of $7 billion – ranging from where and how plants can be grown to setting guidelines to track the buds from fields to stores. Full legal sales are expected to roll out later in the year.\nIn general, the state will treat cannabis like alcohol, allowing people 21 and older to legally possess up to an ounce of marijuana and grow six marijuana plants at home.\nThe budget agreement includes $118 million to pay for startup costs for the newly regulated industry, including technology and staff to work on regulations and issue licenses. The state will open a tax office in the remote region north of San Francisco so marijuana businesses can pay their taxes in cash without having to drive long distances with thousands of dollars.\nBecause marijuana remains illegal under federal law, pot businesses generally cannot open bank accounts, conduct credit card transactions or otherwise use the federally regulated banking system.\nThe legislation outlines baseline rules for marijuana businesses and was crafted to promote a new artisanal industry in a state that has embraced craft beer and small wineries.\nIt would require state regulators to come up with rules for marijuana producers to call their goods organic – an important designation for California consumers that cannot be used on pot under federal rules. The state would also create standards for official marijuana varietals and growing regions, known as appellations, so craft producers can distinguish their products based on the unique strain and growing conditions like winemakers do.\nWith temporary licenses from the state, businesses would be allowed to sell pot and provide samples at county fairs, regional agricultural associations and cannabis festivals.\nGrowers would be allowed to form agricultural cooperatives without running afoul of antitrust laws. Businesses would be able to legally grow, distribute and sell their own product, though firms performing safety tests will have to be independent, with no financial ties to growers or retailers.\nKeeping an open container of marijuana in a vehicle would be illegal like it is for alcohol in California, except for people with a medical card or doctor’s note.\nBrown and lawmakers agreed to allow sellers with no public storefronts to deliver marijuana directly to customers.\n“There are thousands of businesses currently engaged in this type of commerce,” Hezekiah Allen, executive director of the California Growers Association. “The more of them that can get licensed, the better off the state is going to be, the faster we’ll be able to get rid of the criminal element and the faster we’ll be able to make sure the product is safe and tested.”\nComments\ncomments' but very far from 'Medical marijuana edibles, like this Fruity Pebble snack, look no different from regular snacks when the wrapper is removed.\nColorado Gov.

CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming residents calling to report drug overdoses could be protected from criminal charges under a proposed bill by a Laramie lawmaker.
Rep. Charles Pelkey, a Democrat, is sponsoring a bill that would give people immunity from prosecution of drug possession charges if they or a friend overdoses.
Pelkey says the bill is necessary, as more Wyoming residents are using opioids. He says the bill would grant very limited immunity to protect people who witness an overdose. It would not protect callers from intent to distribute charges.
According to the Wyoming Department of Health Vital Statistics Services, 360 people died from drug overdoses in the state in 2014.

State lawmakers are looking to give more teeth to state law when it comes to threats against schools.

Question: Prosecutors seek to add lesser charge in Baby Doe trial

Represent this text to find a news title for it

BOSTON (AP) — Prosecutors have asked a judge to let jurors consider a lesser charge in the murder trial of a man accused of killing a 2-year-old girl who became known as Baby Doe after her body washed up on a Boston Harbor beach.
Prosecutors on Tuesday asked that the jury be allowed to consider involuntary manslaughter in Michael McCarthy’s trial. The defense objected to the request.
McCarthy is charged with killing Bella Bond. The girl’s mother, Rachelle Bond, says McCarthy punched the girl in the abdomen repeatedly until she died in 2015.
McCarthy’s lawyer says Bond killed the girl.
The mother pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact for helping dispose of the body.
A composite image of Bella was shared by millions of people on social media after her body was found on Deer Island in June 2015.

Fredrick Scott, who has been charged in two homicide cases, now faces a third homicide in connection to a Grandview shooting.
