Question: Stephen Colbert and Celebrity Alumni Spend ‘a Starry Night’ at Northwestern

Newswise — EVANSTON, Ill. --- A star-studded lineup of Northwestern University School of Communication alumni turned the newly christened Ryan Fieldhouse into a rollicking, full-throttle reunion Saturday night (April 21), paying tribute in music and comedy to the school’s storied past while challenging the next generation of students to carry on the tradition.
Emceed by “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert ’86, ’11 H, the variety show, “A Starry Night,” drew a crowd of more than 2,600, who were treated to performances by dozens of famous alumni and current Northwestern students.
Colbert, who normally uses the opening monologue on his TV show to skewer President Donald Trump, told the crowd he only wanted to talk about one president – Northwestern President Morton Schapiro, who was seated near the stage.
“Everyone loves Morty,” Colbert said during his opening remarks. “Morty wears purple. Morty breathes purple. Morty is purple.”
There was plenty of Purple Pride throughout the evening – and plenty of laughter.
“Morty’s done so much for this University,” Colbert continued. “He took something great and made it better. He’s like the guy who put cheese in a pizza crust.”
Much of the evening was spent reminiscing about the legendary professors who helped launch countless careers in theater, television and film -- and about the students who joined the celebrities both on stage and behind the scenes. More than 300 students helped bring the show to life, including performers, producers, stagehands and others.
Broadway star and Drama Desk Award winner Richard Kind ’78 talked about having drinks in an Evanston bar the night before rehearsals, where he spoke with theater professor Rives Collins about what students need to survive and thrive in the world of entertainment. He said it boiled down to one word: resilience.
As he prepared to perform the song “Bounce” from the Stephen Sondheim musical “Road Show,” he turned to the students on stage with him to explain the importance of resilience – and enduring the inevitable ups and downs of their budding careers. He said that although he was facing the audience, he was really singing the song to the students.
The variety show included a rousing duet, “Comin’ Together,” with alums Ana Gasteyer ’89 and Stephanie D’Abruzzo ’93, and a powerful medley by three of Broadway’s leading men: Gregg Edelman ’80 singing “Double Talk” from “City of Angels;” Brian d’Arcy James ’90, singing “You’ll Be Back” from the hit musical “Hamilton;” and Kind singing “I Wan’na Be Like You,” from “The Jungle Book.” Edelman and James joined Kind at the end of his number for a spirited finale by the trio.
The show stopper was a performance by Tony and Grammy Award winner Heather Headley ’97 whose rendition of “Home” from “The Wiz” brought the crowd to its feet.
The show was set inside the recently opened Ryan Fieldhouse, which was transformed by the installation of a sprawling, sparkling stage that was designed by students in the MFA stage design program. The fieldhouse was bathed in purple, as lights twinkled behind the performers, mimicking a night sky.
“Offering the new Ryan Fieldhouse for the show was an amazing gift that President Schapiro gave us. This was an incredible opportunity for those students,” said School of Communication Dean Barbara O’Keefe. “All of them said this is going to launch us like nothing else because we’ll have in our portfolio an amazing design for a performance space, unlike anything that has ever been done before in an MFA program.”
The night began with a VIP reception and dinner before the performance, at which O’Keefe thanked the guests, students, stars and University faculty and staff for their work on the show over the past year.
“Tonight is a demonstration of the capability of our community -- and the love everybody has for Northwestern to make it happen,” O’Keefe said.
In his remarks, President Schapiro underscored the importance of both science and the humanities in making Northwestern a great university.
“The magic happens in the labs. The teaching that happens in those labs changes the world,” the President said. “But without art, without literature, a person isn’t a full human being.”
He paid tribute to the School of Communication’s past and present, and he saluted the school for what he said will be an even “more brilliant future.”
After the VIP dinner ended, the crowd settled in for the show, which kicked off with a pre-recorded video skit that featured Colbert and fellow alum Seth Meyers ’96, honorary ’16 H. The two sat in wingback chairs in a faux Northwestern club with a fireplace behind them, set in New York City, riffing off each other. The pair joked about what actors are really thinking when they put on a listening face on stage – food. The two then pulled out sub sandwiches, took hefty bites and began unintelligibly singing the Northwestern fight song.
The show also paid tribute to the late Garry Marshall ’56, a lifelong supporter of Northwestern and its students -- and to other Northwestern-bred actors, directors, teachers and producers who formed the backbone of Chicago theater throughout the years.
Perhaps most poignant, the alumni performers clearly enjoyed their time on stage with one another at the University where they trained and honed their skills, and for which they continue to have great affection. Throughout the night, they made it clear their Northwestern mentors helped them forge successful careers and they were committed to paying it forward for today’s students.
The CommFest production team was headed by Don Weiner ’79, producer of the new “Showtime at the Apollo” and “So You Think You Can Dance?” and co-producers Dave Harding ’79 and RAC Clark ’78. The creative team included head writer Shelly Goldstein ’79, music director Doug Peck ’03 and stage director Peter Flynn ’87.
Complete performer and producer biographies are available in the CommFest press kit.
A celebratory weekend
The CommFest weekend was designed, in part, to showcase plans for the launch a new MFA in acting degree which will operate out of Abbott Hall, 710 N. Lakeshore Drive on the Chicago campus. The location also will be the site of a new media arts center.
“The two-day event showcased the many kinds of excellence, knowledge and creative practice we forward in this school,” said O’Keefe. “Workshops led by our faculty gave our alumni the opportunity to learn new things and see the work faculty are doing now, the evenings were devoted to community-building events -- and last night we came together to enjoy a spectacular show that was written, produced and performed by alumni that have gone into the arts and entertainment.”
“It was a show that will reverberate throughout our history.”
Alumni performers and presenters included Sharif Atkins ’97, Paul Barrosse ’80, Craig Bierko ’86, Stephen Colbert ’86, ’11 H, Stephanie D’Abruzzo ’93, Dancy Dussault ’57, Greg Edelman ’80, Daniele Gaither ’93, Frank Galati ’65, ’67 MA/MS, ’71 PhD, Ana Gasteyer ’89, Kathryn Hahn ’95, Heather Headley ’97, Kyle Heffner ’79, Marg Helgenberger ’82, Laura Innes ’79, Brian d’Arcy James ’90, Adam Kantor ’08, Richard Kind ’78, Gary Kroeger ’81, Harry Lennix ’86, J.P. Manoux ’91, Stephanie March ’96, Dermot Mulroney ’85, Dana Olsen ’80, Tony Roberts ’61 and Kimberly Williams-Paisley ’93 with a video appearance by Seth Meyers ’96, ’16 H.
CommFest 2018 Steering Committee
Leading the CommFest 2018 steering committee are David Lefkowitz ’78, chair of the School’s alumni advisory board, and event co-chairs Elizabeth Clark Zoia ’89 and Amanda Silverman ’93. Zoia and Silverman both have professional backgrounds in television and communications; Lefkowitz’s career was in law. Keebler Straz and Madeleine Kelly, student members of the Dean’s Advisory Council, are serving as CommFest student co-chairs.

Question: Titans latest NFL team to choose week on road over jet lag

Represent this text to find a news title for it

NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans are out of town this week, and veteran linebacker Brian Orakpo couldn't be happier.
The franchise decided once the NFL schedule came out in mid-April to spend the week between back-to-back road games against the Cardinals and the San Francisco 49ers in Arizona.
The main reason? Cut down the travel to keep players a bit fresher for the final month of the season.
It's a decision made by lots of NFL teams over the years. New England spent the week after beating Denver in Colorado for high-altitude training at the Air Force Academy before playing in Mexico City last month — and winning. Philadelphia spent the past week in the Los Angeles area after a loss in Seattle — and then beat the Rams.
"I totally agree with what we're doing because the jet lag is vicious," Orakpo said. "There's definitely a setback, and also the time difference, getting used to the time difference on the West Coast, there's all these different elements. It really helps if we just stayed out there, not have to worry so much travelling back and forth because it's a lot of mileage, especially when you're trying to play at a high level in a football game."
Spending a week away from home during the season is something that neither the Titans nor coach Mike Mularkey had ever done. The Titans, who relocated to Tennessee from Houston in 1997, are among the six NFL teams yet to play in London, and they left Nashville for training camp only once in 21 seasons.
The motivation is simple.
"We're trying to eliminate distractions," Philadelphia coach Doug Pederson said. "It's hard when you've got back-to-back West Coast trips like this, to be able to fly back home and then practice and come back out this way at the end of the week. So, try to keep the week as normal as possible for the guys, for the coaches."
The actual process of relocating an NFL team for a week during the regular season requires months of planning. Brent Akers, the director of team operations for the Titans, and his colleagues made at least seven trips to the hotel where the team is staying. They even rewired the building, so the Titans could simply plug in Monday and start working as if back home at the team's headquarters.
Packing wasn't easy either.
A 53-foot truck left Nashville on Dec. 5 headed to Arizona filled with 40,000 pounds of equipment including:
—A Juggs machine for firing balls at players at practice.
—Down markers.
—Six water coolers for practices.
—New computers, projectors and TV monitors to be ready and waiting for the Titans rather than pack up all that gear.
—Tape and other gear needed by trainers to treat injuries between games.
—Cleats.
—Uniforms.
—And yes, weights. Strength coach Steve Watterson has an area set aside for workouts because the Titans must lift between games.
At the hotel in Arizona, the Titans are using about 80,000 square feet of meeting space, not counting rooms for sleeping:
—Offices for everyone from general manager Jon Robinson and Mularkey and position coaches to the media relations department preparing for their next game in San Francisco.
—A ballroom now is a locker room.
—Meeting rooms turned into a cafeteria.
—A training room.
—And yes, a workout space for all those weights.
The Titans will only have to travel to Arizona State for practices, though Tuesday remains the players' off day. Safety Johnathan Cyprien, who spent a week in London with the Jaguars, knew what to expect.
"Oh yeah, we're stuck together," Cyprien said. "We'll be stuck together kind of like college. You know, where you go to practice, you go to class and you sleep in the same room with the same guys all day. You have no choice but to get closer when you're put in those situations."
Lastly, lots and lots of bags for essentially three separate trips in the span of 10 days. Usually, a road trip features 125 to 130 people, but this extended stay has 171 with the practice squad and other employees needed for a game week. Players alone will have at least three bags apiece.
On Sunday night, the Titans will board their third different airplane, which must be big enough to carry home all that gear.
Only time, and the three remaining games, will determine how helpful the travel plans were for Tennessee. Of course, both the Patriots and Eagles won after spending a week away, and Philadelphia went home as NFC East champs . The Titans (8-5) are hoping for a similar benefit trying to end an eight-season playoff drought coming off a 12-7 loss to Arizona.
"It's an opportunity for us to get away together as a team," Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota said. "I think that's going to benefit us and bring this team closer. I do think it will help us down the stretch."

An airstrike on a school in Syria’s eastern Ghouta late Monday killed 15 children and two women who were using its basement as a bomb shelter, a monitor said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the bombing raid hit Arbin, a key town in the dwindling rebel-held enclave of Ghouta that has been under attack by government troops for over a month.
“Three missiles from a single airstrike hit the school, where the underground level was being used as a shelter,” said Rami Abdel Rahman, who heads the Britain-based monitor.
“Rescue workers are still searching for survivors,” he told AFP.
The Observatory, which identifies airstrikes based on flight patterns, munitions used, and aircraft, said Monday night’s raids were suspected to have been carried out by Russia.
Moscow has said it is helping Syria’s government “finish off” fighters in Ghouta but has denied carrying out airstrikes against civilians.

Since Feb. 18, Syrian troops and allied militia have been waging a ferocious ground and air assault to oust rebels from Ghouta, just east of Damascus.
They have captured more than 80 percent of the former opposition and have splintered the remaining territory into three sections, each held by a separate rebel group.
The pocket where Arbin lies is held by the Faylaq al-Rahman Islamist faction.
Syrian troops have made sweeping advances against them in recent days, opening a “corridor” for terrified civilians to flee into government-controlled territory.
Other residents have opted to flee deeper into the shrinking rebel-held areas.
The White Helmets rescue force, which works to extract people out from the rubble after air strikes, said Monday its teams in Arbin were responding to a strike on a “basement” there.

Question: Voters sense betrayal in Britain's Brexit heartlands

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

CHATHAM, England (Reuters) - There is a whiff of betrayal in the air across Britain's Brexit heartlands where many impatient voters fear Prime Minister Theresa May is going soft on implementing last year's decision to leave the European Union.
May's gamble in calling a snap election on June 8, only to lose her parliamentary majority, has thrown the future of Brexit into doubt and the opening rounds of divorce talks have raised the prospect of a complex and expensive withdrawal which could take years to complete.
Throw in a visceral distrust of the London political classes, and for many voters it all points to one thing: a plot to water down, or even stop, Brexit.
"We voted to come out, so why didn't they do it straight away? Why have we got to wait?" asked 64-year-old Chris Murdoch, in the small English town of Chatham, 50 km (30 miles) east of London. "We won't come out completely because it's not in their favor."
Her husband Peter, a retired construction worker, added: "They're all in it for themselves. They're all two-faced ... We don't trust any of them."
Like 52 percent of Britons, both Chris and Peter Murdoch voted for Brexit last year and, like most, according to recent opinion polls, they haven't changed their minds.
Such views in Chatham, a stronghold of May's Conservatives in recent years, are shared widely in much of the country. That spells danger for May who must unite her party, divided for decades over Europe, to drive Brexit legislation through parliament and win approval for the final deal with Brussels.
It also means likely disappointment for those European politicians who hope Britons will have second thoughts about the wisdom of Brexit, and settle for a close relationship with the EU if the divorce has to go through.
Many Brexit voters in Chatham now fear that Britain's leaders - who they say have ignored their interests for decades and are beholden to big money - are plotting to betray their dream of a clean break with the EU.
May called the early election to win a mandate for her vision of a 'hard' Brexit that prioritized immigration controls above the interests of the economy. Instead she emerged wounded, reliant on a small Northern Irish party to win major parliamentary votes and under pressure from her party's pro-European wing and business to compromise with Brussels.
Some European leaders seem still not convinced by May's mantra that "Brexit means Brexit". French President Emmanuel Macron has said the EU's door remains open and European Council President Donald Tusk even invoked the lyrics of John Lennon to 'Imagine' a Brexit rescinded.
At home, former Conservative prime minister John Major has said there is a credible case for giving Britons a second vote on the Brexit deal. His successor, Labour's Tony Blair, has said repeatedly the process can and should be stopped.
Little Sympathy
There is little sympathy for this in Chatham, one of a cluster of towns on the banks of the River Medway that for centuries acted as part of England's naval defense against the fleets of its European enemies.
Earlier this year the town marked an ignominious chapter in English history: the 350th anniversary of a daring raid by Dutch ships which caught the King's defenses napping, sailing up the Medway to capture and burn prized assets of the fleet.
Nowadays Chatham's dockyards are a museum, the barracks are being converted into flats and despite regeneration efforts, a higher-than-average 12.2 percent of the local working-age population receive government social payments.
The Medway towns, including Chatham, backed Brexit by almost two to one. Like so many of the towns outside England's major cities that overwhelmingly voted to leave the EU, it has long struggled to adapt to a decline in traditional industries.
"My fear is that they won't follow it through and they'll find a reason to stay in," said former postal worker Trevor James, a 61-year-old Brexit-supporting voter from Chatham.

James noted that a majority of Conservative and opposition Labour lawmakers had backed staying in the EU before the referendum, along with most members of the upper House of Lords. "It's all in the lap of the gods as to whether they follow it through properly," he said.
Above all, Brexit supporters want to control arrivals of workers, especially from poorer, eastern EU states, on which many employers have come to depend. They accuse migrants of taking jobs, undermining wages and overloading public services - even though foreign-born workers play a major role in running hospitals, doctors' surgeries and other vital services.
Transition or Treachery
May's government is now struggling to design, negotiate and implement a chaos-free exit plan by March 2019. With business demanding a staggered departure, top ministers have accepted a transitional period is needed to minimize legal and investment uncertainty that could damage the economy.
Finance minister Philip Hammond has suggested there could be little immediate change to immigration rules, saying the transition might last until 2022. Such arguments carry little sway outside London.
Relatively few Britons have changed their minds in the 14 months since the referendum. A YouGov poll this month showed 45 percent believed that in hindsight it had been right for Britain to vote to leave, and the same amount that it had been wrong. No less than 61 percent of 'Leave' voters thought significant damage to the economy was a price worth paying to quit the EU.
Slideshow (14 Images)
David Barker, a 55-year-old manager at a telecoms firm from the Medway town of Rochester, believed people like Hammond were wobbling. "It's not going to be the hard Brexit we voted for with immigration (control) and coming out totally."
Several local voters said any transitional deal allowing continued unrestricted EU immigration was unacceptable.
Medway politicians are determined to hold May to account on Brexit via their local members of parliament. "I don't accept that the general election shows the will of the people has changed," said Alan Jarrett, the Brexit-supporting leader of the Conservative-run local authority.
"We speak regularly to our three local MPs to make sure they don't lose sight of what Medway people voted for," he said, adding that a transition of three to five years was "excessive".
Border Control
The Medway towns sit in the southeastern county of Kent, home to the Channel Tunnel rail link with France and Dover ferry terminal. At its closest point, the coast of continental Europe is just 33 km away.
Residents say Kent lies in the front line of the immigration debate, making little distinction between EU migrants and people from outside the bloc seeking asylum.
Despite a lower proportion of residents born outside Britain than the national average - at 10 percent of the Medway population compared with 14.5 percent across England - voters say immigration is the main issue that May must address.
"I'm not against immigrants but it's just overflowing the country," said Bryan Burrows, 85, who says that after paying taxes for more than half a century, he resents migrants having easy access to the publicly-funded healthcare service.
May insists the free movement of EU workers to Britain will end in 2019 and a British-controlled border policy will come into effect. But so far she has offered little detail of the new regime and businesses are lobbying hard for as few restrictions as possible to ensure they can find the workers they need.
For many residents the bottom line is simple: anything other than a radical tightening of Britain's borders would be a betrayal.
"This used to be a lovely town, Chatham. Now all you hear is foreigners," said Peter Murdoch. "They're coming over getting all the benefits, houses, the lot. Struggle, that's all we do. It's not fair."
"That's what's turned us: immigrants and what they get when they come over here," he said. "Of course it should stop. Blow the tunnel up as well."

Speaking to Press TV, the political activist claimed discounting the result of the June 2016 Brexit referendum would have disastrous consequences for the nation. The Scottish author argued those who demand a second referendum on the decision to leave the European Union are doing it merely to enjoy their holiday homes in the Continent. Mr Bambery said: “In England and Wales there was a clear vote for leaving the EU. I don’t think there should be another referendum. “I think most middle-class people are demanding it mainly for relatively selfish reasons, their kids having access to the Erasmus programme, or the holiday homes in France and Spain or wherever. “But I think for the majority of people who voted to leave they did so because they were so alienated from the political system both here and in the European Union, they were giving the politicians both in Westminster and in Brussels a kick up the backside.
PRESSTV•GETTY Brexit news: Scottish author warns second Brexit referendum would have 'nasty' consequences
“And if you were to say ‘no. sorry we’re going to discount your vote and we’re asking you to vote again’, it would enrage those people. “And I think that the danger there is they’re going to look around for an alternative and that alternative could be something to the right of Theresa May and it could be very nasty. “So, I’d be very careful going down that road." Mr Bambery added that refusing to give Remainers a second referendum on Brexit would push Scotland to call for a second independence vote and Northern Ireland to unify with the Republic of Ireland.
They're going to look around for an alternative and that alternative could be very nasty Christopher Bambery
He said: “In Scotland, it’s going to fuel demands for a second independence referendum because Scotland voted to stay in the EU. “And in Ireland, I think it’s going to lead inevitably to a United Ireland as the only way of solving the conundrum of the Irish border.” Mr Bambery's comments came as Prime Minister Theresa May was warned by various Brexiteer to avoid a soft Brexit deal at all costs. Prominent Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg warned the Prime Minister a soft Brexit would “cheat the referendum result”.

Question: Represent the title to find an explanatory news article

Question: Will Barnaby Joyce cling to power over citizenship or show integrity like Greens?

Barnaby Joyce has this week become the latest victim of the citizenship saga shaking up the federal parliament after it was revealed the deputy prime minister is a citizen of New Zealand.
Despite the prime minister’s insistence the high court will rule in the government’s favour and Joyce refusing to stand down from the parliament, the latest revelation throws the entire Turnbull government’s wafer-thin leadership into serious danger.
The longer Joyce holds out standing down, the deeper his personal and political integrity is undermined. Amid the relentless obfuscation, avoidance and flimsy excuses being put forward by both National and One Nation politicians caught up in this saga, the more honest and principled way the Greens dealt with the matter comes into sharper focus.
Pressure mounts on Barnaby Joyce over citizenship – as it happened Read more
Almost exactly a month ago the Western Australian Greens senator Scott Ludlam was informed by an anonymous supporter that his joint New Zealand citizenship rendered him ineligible to be an Australian parliamentarian under section 44 of the constitution. He immediately did the right thing by declaring his untenable position and stepping down as a senator.
That bombshell was followed by fellow Green and Queensland senator Larissa Waters, another Green seen by many as being in her political prime. Not only was she making tangible impacts in her environment portfolio, she’d also recently shown great strength of character in standing up against the misogynist political culture by becoming the first Australian senator to move a motion while breastfeeding.
Both Ludlam and Waters were highly regarded, tenacious champions of their portfolios. But rather than affording them any measure of respect for making the tough call and sacrificing their own immediate political ambitions by being upfront with the Australian people, senior Coalition figures including Malcolm Turnbull instead criticised their “sloppiness” and “extraordinary negligence” for getting themselves into that situation in the first place. George Brandis went further, stating: “I don’t think we should shed too many tears over the consequences of Mr Ludlum’s own negligence” and adding that he could be forced to repay a substantial debt for all his salary and allowances received as a senator.
Since then the revelations about the status of other parliamentarians have been coming thick and fast. But the way they have dealt with it couldn’t have been in sharper contrast. First up we had Matt Canavan, the gung-ho pro-mining Queensland National senator and resource minister refusing to resign from parliament as his Greens counterparts had done – but instead just stepping down from the frontbench and quite literally blaming his mother for signing his citizenship papers that got him into this mess. Even Canavan’s defence that he had “unwittingly” become a dual citizen has since been called into question by Italian immigration experts who stated that having someone else sign his immigration papers would directly contravene Italian foreign ministry guidelines and would never have been allowed.
Meanwhile, One Nation’s outspoken climate sceptic and Queensland senator Malcolm Roberts (who was born in India to a Welsh father), has also come under increasing pressure to provide evidence that he had renounced his UK citizenship after initially claiming less than a year ago he had “never held any citizenship other than Australian.” His office later clarified that Roberts “is choosing to believe that he was never British”. Well that certainly cleared things up, didn’t it, Malcolm? It was only in late July when evidence came to light that Roberts had in fact travelled on a British passport that the beleaguered senator provided a statutory declaration statement: “I can confirm I am not a citizen of the United Kingdom, nor am I a citizen of India.” As the whole saga descended further into farce, Roberts has still to this day refused to release any documents that prove he ever renounced his British citizenship.
Australia's deputy PM Barnaby Joyce revealed to be a New Zealander Read more
The pattern here is clear for all to see. The Greens remain the only party with the integrity to stand up, unprompted and of their own volition, and speak honestly to the Australian public on the issue of dual citizenship. In every other circumstance Coalition and One Nation senators have used every trick in the book to try to weasel, obfuscate or deflect the public from the truth that they are in clear breach of section 44 of the Australian constitution.
There’s no doubt the Greens in 2017 have their own problems and shortcomings – including the long-standing rancorous and at times poisonous relationship between radical elements of the NSW branch and the more pragmatic and pro-democratic Greens leadership with its roots in Victoria and Tasmania – as demonstrated in ABC’s Four Corners program on Monday night. But when Bob Brown founded the national Greens party in 1992 in Sydney, one of the four pillars he founded the party on was grassroots participatory democracy, which in part means being truthful to the people you’re elected to represent – even when it hurts.
In these cynical times it’s hard to believe such rhetoric from any political party – but at least on the issue of dual citizenship the Greens have shown themselves to be more sincere and able to be true to their own lofty principals than all the other players thus far drawn into this sorry saga. What remains to be seen now is whether the deputy prime minister will be able to conjure up the kind of integrity the Greens have demonstrated, or whether he will instead attempt to cling to political power in clear contrivance to the Australian constitution to which he has sworn allegiance.

The tempestuous nature of public life in Australia in recent years has led to many people holding high office falling from grace in dramatic fashion. They have not retired in the fullness of time but rather been wrenched from office unceremoniously.

The media in South Australia, where I have spent most of the past week, still curious about the fall of former Senator and NXT party leader Nick Xenophon now face the dramatic descent of Catholic Archbishop Philip Wilson, found guilty of concealing child sexual abuse. But few parts of Australia are immune to this phenomenon. The abrupt departure of corporate board members, most notably Catherine Brenner board chair at AMP, has seen to that.
Former deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce, still in Parliament, is rarely out of the news and is now the centre of a public storm over his $150,000 deal to speak on commercial media.
Many senators caught up in the s44 controversy have been ejected from parliament without even the chance of re-contesting their seats. Prime among them have been former deputy leader of the Nationals, Fiona Nash, former ACT chief minister, Katy Gallagher, and Independent Jacquie Lambie from Tasmania.
Deposed prime minister, Tony Abbott, remains in the Parliament on the government backbench as an unreconciled and bitter opponent of Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull.

Question: Watch Melania's latest awkward handholding moment with Trump

The First Lady is showing her hand — again.
Melania Trump had yet another cringe-worthy handholding moment with her husband as they welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, to the White House Tuesday.
TV cameras caught Trump trying to hold his wife’s hand, sneaking his pinky finger into her palm as they faced members of the media alongside the French presidential couple.
But the First Lady appeared to stagger away from Trump as he tried to get a grip of her hand. After about 10 seconds of resistance, Melania finally allowed her husband to hold her hand.
Melania's hat steals the show as Trump welcomes Macron at W.H.
Melania has a history of refusing her husband’s hand.

She memorably swatted Trump’s hand away when he tried to hold hers as they walked alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the tarmac of an airport outside Tel Aviv in May.
Melania was similarly caught on camera last month seemingly avoiding her husband’s hand as they exited Air Force One.
The latest handholding refusal comes amid a torrent of damning news stories about President Trump allegedly sleeping with a porn star and a Playboy model during the early days of their marriage.

The hand flub also comes during a particularly busy week for the First Lady.
Donald Trump in the White House
Melania will preside over the first state dinner of Trump’s presidency Tuesday evening for Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron.
Last week, Melania hosted Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his wife at Trump’s private Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., before jetting to Houston, where she attended former First Lady Barbara Bush’s funeral. President Trump did not attend the funeral.
Barack Obama, however, attended the funeral and was seen smiling and chatting with Melania before the ceremony. After the ceremony, Melania posed with all the former presidents and first ladies in attendance.

French President Emmanuel Macron arrived at the White House Monday to meet with President Trump, and the two appeared to get along swimmingly. Despite the legendarily tense handshake they shared during their first meeting in 2017, the two presidents were nothing but smiles on this time around, and memes of Trump's White House meeting with Macron quickly filled social media.
Although various world leaders have visited the Trump White House, Macron's arrival marked the first official state visit of the Trump presidency. So far, the event has largely been pomp and circumstance: The two ate dinner at George Washington's old residence, planted a tree on the South Lawn of the White House and took a helicopter tour of Washington D.C.'s monuments, according to CNN. However, the two did meet privately and later held a joint press conference, where they talked Syria, the Iran nuclear deal and the recent van attack in Toronto.
Although the two leaders' relationship got off to a somewhat fraught start, they heaped praise upon each other on Tuesday, and stressed that U.S.-French relations are as strong as ever.
"Mr. President, they're all saying what a great relationship we have and they're actually correct," Trump told his French counterpart Tuesday. "It is not fake news. Finally. It is not fake news. So it is a great honor. Great honor that you're here. We do have a very special relationship."
Of course, the Internet was much less interested in the two countries' diplomatic relations than the many meme-worthy moments that arose during the meeting. Here are some of the best.
Holding Hands
Quite a bit of hay was made about the fact that Trump and Macron, in the words of NBC News, "awkwardly held hands for a prolonged moment" while heading to their press conference.
A Budding Bromance
Likewise, Trump and Macron shared a handshake at their presser that must be seen to be believed. Macron later tweeted out a picture of the handshake with the caption "France—USA."
Rejected?
Footage from the Macron meeting also showed the president attempting to get first lady Melania Trump to hold his hand. She eventually did.
Melania's Hat
This one speaks for itself. As does Melania's hat.
The Phantom Kiss
One angle of the meeting appeared to show Trump faking a kiss with Melania, stopping several inches short of actually touching her face, while giving a real kiss to French First Lady Brigitte Macron.
The Dandruff Sweep
Although this doesn't appear to be an actual quote from Goodall, Trump did indeed reach over and sweep what he claimed was dandruff off of Macron's shoulder during one of their public appearances. "We have to make him perfect," Trump explained before correcting himself moments later: "He is perfect."
Get It In Writing
Zing!
Throwback Hit

Planting The Tree
A strangely picturesque image of Macron and Trump shoveling dirt onto a tree also became an instant meme.

Apologies to the Young Pope fans.
Right Out Of A Magazine, But The Wrong Magazine
Here's a reference picture. All that's missing is the black stripe.
The Macron-Trump relationship became the source of endless speculation after their first meeting, in which they shared a long and fraught handshake that produced countless thinkpieces, memes and even an explanation by Macron. The two appeared much more friendly with one another during this latest meeting, but that didn't prevent the denizens of Twitter from busting out the memes. It merely resulted in different, slightly odder memes.

Question: Meet your new booze and pot czar

From bureaucrat, to banking whiz, to head of Ontario’s monopoly liquor and – soon – legal marijuana seller: Ed Clark, who helped turn London-based Canada Trust into a financial powerhouse, is a retailer at heart.
Favours cautious approach
Asked if he ever imagined heading a huge company that sells legal pot, Ed Clark laughs heartily.
“When you start off in life, you have no idea what you’ll end up doing,” says the retired chief executive of TD Bank and before that Canada Trust.
At 70, the business whiz — who for the better part of a decade oversaw London-based Canada Trust — soon will take over as chairperson of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO). The move comes just as the provincial Crown corporation, one of the world’s largest alcohol retailers, dives into the thorny business of setting up legal cannabis stores.
Well known to many in London business and finance circles, Clark isn’t exactly a household name — but his fingerprints are on many files familiar to Ontarians, including the Liberal government’s controversial sale of a majority stake in Hydro One, the provincial electricity distributor.
Once Canada’s highest-paid banking executive, he admitted later he probably was paid too much.
And while he rose fast in an earlier public service career, even winning an award as the nation’s outstanding civil servant, he began working in government not in Canada, but in Tanzania, in east Africa, where his eldest son was born.
On legal pot, Clark calls himself a “conservative” and says he doesn’t promote the use of the drug.
But, he notes, it’s time to impose order and safety on a chaotic business and dry up the cash stream for illegal drug dealers.
“People buying cannabis don’t know what they are buying — and they’re buying from people engaged in criminal activity. That doesn’t sound like a good idea to me.”
Clark said the LCBO has taken a dramatic turn in his lifetime, evolving from a grim government bureaucracy where customers filled out a form at a counter and were handed a bottle tightly wrapped in brown paper.
The LCBO now has all the trappings of a modern retailer, with 650 outlets complete with product tastings, slick displays and glossy magazines.
But that model won’t be applied to pot — at least not yet.
Ontario plans to set up about 150 stand-alone cannabis stores by 2020, with the first wave of 40 stores opening this summer after the federal Liberal government’s avowed move to legalize recreational pot use.
Clark favours a cautious approach, reverting to the LCBO’s old “brown-paper bag” days, with cannabis customers filling out a form and picking up a package at a counter.
“Generally, in life when you haven’t done something before, do it carefully” he said, adding cannabis sales may “evolve” as the LCBO gets more experienced with customers and their needs.
Andy Brandt, LCBO chairperson and chief executive from 1991 to 2006, said he doesn’t envy Clark in the job he faces.
“It’s going to be extremely challenging. They are still struggling with how to set it up. I suffer with the guy, because I know he will have a problem doing it properly,” said Brandt, who served as Sarnia’s mayor, Progressive Conservative MPP, cabinet minister and interim party leader before heading the LCBO.
Brandt agreed government control of the cannabis trade is a step forward, but says the consumer-friendly retail format for alcohol sales may not apply to cannabis.
“This is a different product — cannabis is not the same as alcohol. It’s obviously going to have to be controlled to handle it in a legitimate fashion,” he said.
Down to Earth
Though he spent most of his career in the financial sector, Clark is well suited to the LCBO because, he says, he has the heart of a retailer.
“Instead of starting with the bank and go out, why not start with the customers and come in? That may seem obvious, but that’s not how banks were run,” he said.
Canada Trust, with London roots going back to 1864, shook the banking sector in 1976 with innovations like extended hours — “Eight-to-eight, six days straight” was the slogan — and Clark carried on the tradition when he joined Canada Trust in 1991.
He said the customer-friendly model helped make Canada Trust a tempting takeover target when TD Bank bought it for $8 billion in 2000.
In 2002, Clark was tagged to take over as TD’s chief executive, just as the financial giant was bleeding red ink partly because of bad loans to the telecom sector.
Under Clark’s tenure, TD became Canada’s second-largest and North America’s sixth-largest bank, with a major expansion into the U.S. market.
Clark attributed much of the growth to the retail-style Canada Trust model “exported from London.”
Under his leadership, TD steered clear of the U.S. mortgage meltdown in 2008 that battered other Canadian banks, like the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.
Tim Hockey worked with Clark at Canada Trust and TD for about 25 years. He said that on top of his sharp intellect, Clark has superb people skills.
“He is remarkably down-to-Earth . . . People feel connected to him,” said Hockey, now the New York-based chief executive of TD Ameritrade.
Hockey said Clark is remarkably suited to steering the LCBO into the new era of legal cannabis.
“Given his government experience and all of his business acumen, there are probably very few people as qualified to work through any thorny issue,” he said.
In “retirement,” Clark has advised the Ontario government for a salary of $1 a year.
He’s handled hot-button issues, including the sell-off of Hydro One, the restructuring of Stelco Steel in Hamilton and Toronto’s bid to land the new Amazon headquarters.
Clark already has had a major influence on the LCBO. In a 2015 review of Ontario’s public assets, he recommended keeping LCBO publicly owned, but expanding consumer access to wine and beer through grocery stores — two ideas the Liberal government adopted.
Clark said the LCBO model works efficiently, offering good prices and selection to consumers and generating a steady stream of cash for the province. But he added it’s time for the LCBO to follow banking and retail and plunge even further into online sales.
“Every retailer in the world is adapting to online. With the LCBO having a large base, they could have an online site that’s the best in the world.”
'Red Ed'
Clark didn’t start in banking, but in the public sector. He was born and raised in Toronto and educated at the University of Toronto and Harvard University, where he did his economics doctoral thesis on socialism in Tanzania. He worked for the Tanzanian government for two years.
He became a deputy minister in Pierre Trudeau’s Liberal government and was one of the architects of the controversial National Energy Program that gave Ottawa more control over the energy sector.
That policy drew a backlash in energy-rich Western Canada, earning Clark the nickname “Red Ed.”
He left the federal government after Brian Mulroney’s Tories took over, joining Merrill Lynch.
But those early days in public service still surface, because Clark has set himself apart from other bankers by speaking on out on social issues.
He had the rare double distinction of winning Canada’s Outstanding Civil Servant award in 1982 and Canada’s Outstanding CEO award in 2010.
During his time at TD, he became Canada’s highest-paid bank executive, making about $11 million a year.
But in an interview upon his retirement, he conceded he was paid too much.
He said he’s tried to give back by becoming a philanthropist, funding programs such as EGALE, which provides support for LGBT street kids. Clark considers this a duty for successful business people.
“We have income inequality and homeless issues and LGBT issues we have to deal with. It helps with social issues if business people step up and fight for them.”
He said that attitude should carry over to corporate culture.
“If you want employees to be engaged and committed to a company, they have to believe their company is on the right side of social issues. People want to be proud of where they work.”
That philosophy helped Clark earn the Business Leader of the Year Award in 2011 from Western University’s Ivey School of Business.
Carol Stephenson, a former Ivey dean who emphasized ethical leadership in business after the financial crash of 2008, said Clark was criticized when he headed TD for not jumping into the lucrative U.S. subprime mortgage market. But she said Clark followed his instincts and steered clear.
“He held his ground. He said, ‘If I can’t understand this, we’re not going in.’ He’s a highly principled guy,” she said.
Stephenson also recalled Clark giving Ivey students a frank lesson on the realities of corporate leadership. “He told them, ‘The real culture is what people do when you’re not looking.’ ”
Social responsibility
Clark comes by his social justice perspective honestly. His father, Del Clark, founded Canada’s first sociology department at the University of Toronto and delved into issues such as urban poverty and social development. Ed Clark’s brother, Sam, followed in his father’s footsteps and is now a sociology professor at Western. One of Sam Clark’s students was Deb Matthews, who went on to become a London MPP and deputy premier to Kathleen Wynne.
“Ed grew up in a family that really valued social responsibility,” said Matthews. Besides his private- and public-sector success, she said, Clark is a standout philanthropist, bringing his banker’s bottom-line perspective.
“He looks for the difference that his money will make in a measurable way,” said Matthews.
She said Clark once took the unusual step of putting out a business-style request for proposals to the non-profit sector when he and his wife had money to donate. The winner was a project called Homeward Bound, which provides housing and employment for single moms.
But unlike some philanthropists, Matthews said, Clark isn’t keen on having anything named after him.
Matthews, who has handled some huge jobs in government herself, including stints as health minister and treasury board president, said Clark is fine wading into tricky terrain: “He loves hard jobs. He loves challenges.”
'Fine Canadian'
Geoff Smith, chief executive of global construction giant EllisDon, counts himself an unabashed Ed Clark fan.
“He is one of the finest Canadians I’ve ever met. I would say that without hesitation,” said Smith, whose father and uncle founded the company in London in 1951.
Smith said EllisDon had business dealings with Clark over the years and is now a sponsor of one his latest ventures, the Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence, which Clark chairs.
Smith said Clark has the common touch and is plain-spoken, avoiding the jargon and buzzwords common in corporate circles.
“It’s my experience that the smartest people are those that can talk in the plainest language. He can take important issues and sum them up in a way that everyone understands,” said Smith.
Smith said he’d love to have Clark on his corporate board, if Clark had the time.
Smith said he’s not surprised the former banker is willing to take on the potentially tough LCBO job.
“He doesn’t want to sit around. He doesn’t want to go fishing. This is important to society and he’s saying, ‘This sounds like fun.’ ”
Private-sector view
Clark’s LCBO appointment is still subject to a review at Queen’s Park. In the meantime, he’s on an nostalgic, three-week trip to Tanzania, where his career began.
So, why take on such a big and potentially nasty job at his age?
He said it still feels good to apply his business experience to tough issues, such as the deal to restructure Stelco, which saved thousands of jobs and preserved pensions.
“I think it is hard to find people in government who would know how to do that . . . I bring a private-sector view of how to get things done that works for the public good,” he said.

Question: Impaired Driver Mistakes Jail Booth For Drive-Thru, Orders Breakfast

CBS Local — A Long Island woman’s quest for breakfast ended up in a jail cell after police say she drove up to a jail security booth and mistook it for a fast food drive-thru window.
Lizabeth Ildefonso of Jamesport, New York was arrested on March 16 after she drove up to the Suffolk County jail and tried to order a “bacon, egg, and cheese.” According to the Riverhead News-Review, the 44-year-old was told by Suffolk County deputies that she was really at a jail but kept demanding breakfast. Ildefonso “insisted that she really wanted a sandwich,” the Suffolk County Sheriff’s office said in a statement.

Officers at the jail noticed that Ildefonso’s eyes were glassy and she had a white powder in her left nose before performing a sobriety check. After “performing poorly” in a field sobriety test, the woman was arrested for driving while impaired by drugs. Police also noted that the 44-year-old was driving without a valid license.
The Sheriff’s office says Deputy Sheriff Yvonne DeCaro, who arrested Ildefonso, had just completed a course to help identify impaired drivers. “It apparently was put to good use today although the surrounding circumstances were a little unexpected,” the Sheriff’s office added.

Question: Condo contract rules target B.C. property flippers

Represent this text to find a news title for it.

The B.C. government is changing real estate laws in an effort to prevent flipping of condos from one buyer to another before they are built.
Finance Minister Carole James presented legislation Tuesday to require real estate developers to collect and report information on pre-sale condo assignments, to enforce the collection of property transfer tax on buyers.
“For too long, people who resell condos before they have been built have been inflating real estate prices, without necessarily paying taxes on their gains,” James said. “We are making it fairer for people who want to buy a condo, by making sure those who flip pre-sale condos pay their fair share.”
James said the information will not be publicly available, but will be shared with the Canada Revenue Agency, to make sure that capital gains tax as well as provincial property taxes are paid.

Mayor John Tory stopped short of saying Toronto is in the midst of a housing bubble but conceded there’s an “element of speculation” that is distorting the marketplace.
“The challenge is to figure out who’s doing the speculating and what do you do about that in order to try to restore a sense of balance,” he told Metro.
Tory will meet with federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau and provincial Finance Minister Charles Sousa on Tuesday to discuss how to tackle housing affordability in the GTA in the face of soaring prices.
The average price of a Toronto detached home reached over $1.5-million last month and the head of the Bank of Canada recently warned a housing correction could have economic impacts in other parts of the country.
Related
Tory said he’s going into the meeting with three priorities: finding ways to increase the supply of affordable rental housing, exploring a vacant unit tax, and addressing the lack of good data on the issue.
He said the city has “begun to do some investigating ” of a vacant unit tax by looking into where hydro and water bills are inactive to get an indication of long-term vacant units.
“I have no objection to anyone investing in a housing unit of any kind, but if they’re being withheld from the market place and not available for somebody to live in, as a tenant or otherwise, then that’s a concern,” he said.
Sousa hinted in public comments last week that an upcoming provincial package on housing affordability will include measures to tackle so-called “property scalpers,” that buy and flip a number of properties without paying their fair share of taxes.
“It sort of helps fuel this frenzy that has been prevalent for some time,” said Tory on the topic.
The mayor said the city can play a role in streamlining plans for more affordable rentals, which it’s taking steps to do though the “Open Door” program.
“I think we have to do a better job of getting those plans, especially for affordable rental housing approved as quickly as possible,” he said.

There are a slew of potential ways to cool Toronto’s hot real estate prices but lots of disagreement on the best way forward.
Metro looks at a few options to calm the market:
Foreign buyers tax:
Vancouver has already tried out a foreign buyers tax on non-Canadians who don’t reside in their properties. Proponents say it’s already having an impact on cooling that city’s market.
Critics say it’s not fair to foreign buyers, distracts from the real problem of supply and it’s too early to tell if it’s working on the west coast.
Vacant unit tax:
This gets at the issue of unavailable homes regardless of where owners live. But some argue Vancouver’s empty homes tax penalizes people for owning second homes instead of pure investors.
Loosening Greenbelt regulations:
Real estate industry voices say a lack of supply is driving up prices. They argue that easing regulations on land protected under the Greenbelt would make more available for housing.
Critics say there’s plenty of room without touching protected land and speculation is more to blame.

Question: British Cybersecurity Expert Pleads Not Guilty To Federal Malware Charges

At a federal court in Wisconsin, a British cybersecurity expert pleaded not guilty to charges over an alleged malware scheme to steal personal banking information.
Before these accusations, Marcus Hutchins was known for his role in finding the "kill switch" to the WannaCry ransomware cyber-attack last May that "threatened over 150 countries," NPR's Leila Fadel reported.
After today's hearing, Hutchins' lawyer Marcia Hofmann described him as a "brilliant young man and a hero," and said that "when the evidence comes to light, we are confident he will be fully vindicated."
The FBI took Hutchins into custody earlier this month in Las Vegas, where he had been attending a cybersecurity conference.
In July, a federal grand jury indicted him and an unnamed co-defendant on six counts dating from July 2014 to July 2015.
The indictment accuses Hutchins of creating the malware, which is called Kronos. The two co-defendents then allegedly advertised it on internet forums and sold it.
Hutchins is charged with "one count of conspiracy to commit computer fraud and abuse, three counts of distributing and advertising an electronic communication interception device, one count of endeavoring to intercept electronic communications, and one count of attempting to access a computer without authorization," as Leila reported.
She added that other members of his community were shocked at the accusations, because they are counter to his reputation as a person devoted to preventing this kind of attack.
Hutchins was "granted bail on 5 August after $30,000 ...was raised by friends and family," according to the BBC.
But his release comes with strict conditions, as detailed by The Associated Press:
"His bond has been modified so that he can stay in Los Angeles near his attorney and travel anywhere in the U.S., but he cannot leave the country. He was also granted access to use a computer for work, a change from an earlier judge's order barring him from using any device with access to the internet. Hutchins has been working for a network security company, according to prosecutors, who did not oppose allowing him access to a computer for work." "Hutchins is required to wear a GPS monitor, but [Magistrate Judge William] Duffin said the court will consider removing that requirement once Hutchins has found a home in Los Angeles and is complying with the terms of his bond."
The wire service adds that the next hearing is scheduled for Oct. 17.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Floyd Mayweather Jr. said Wednesday he will come out of retirement to face UFC star Conor McGregor in a boxing match on Aug. 26.
Mayweather, who retired in September 2015 after winning all 49 of his pro fights, will face a mixed martial arts fighter who has never been in a scheduled 12-round fight at the MGM Grand arena. The fight that will take place in a boxing ring and be governed by boxing rules.
“It’s official,” Mayweather said on his Instagram account next to a video poster of both fighters.
“THE FIGHT IS ON,” McGregor tweeted several minutes earlier, posting a picture of himself next to one of Mayweather’s father, Floyd Sr.
Mayweather will fight at the relatively advanced age of 41 in a bout that McGregor has been pushing for months. It finally came together over the last few days, and Nevada boxing officials on Wednesday approved the date for a Mayweather Promotions bout.
Though Las Vegas oddsmakers have made Mayweather a heavy 10-1 favorite, the thought of the fight has excited many in the MMA world. It has also intrigued some in boxing, though most dismiss McGregor’s chances under boxing rules against one of the greatest defensive fighters in history.
Even if the actual bout may not shape up as a great matchup, the run-up to the fight will. Both fighters are noted for their ability to sell their fights, and both have exchanged in trash talking and more to promote their bouts.
The fight will be televised on pay-per-view on Showtime and would likely gross tens of millions of dollars. It comes less than a month before Gennady Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez meet in a highly anticipated fight that could rival it for pay-per-view buys.

INDIANAPOLIS –The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department announced Tuesday night that a months-long investigation has led to the seizure of nearly 50 pounds of drugs.
As the result of search warrants served at two locations Tuesday, officers confiscated $44,000 in cash, eight guns and 45 pounds of suspected heroin, methamphetamine and black tar heroin with an estimated street value of $750,000.
"These are once-in-a-career-type cases," said Deputy Chief Chad Knecht of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
Southwest District Lt. Scott Hessong said officers with the southwest and southeast districts began their investigation in early March. That investigation led to two search warrants — one on each of the districts — served Tuesday.
Officers arrested four in connection with the investigation, believed to be involved in trafficking on the southwest and southeast districts, Hessong said. The department has not yet identified those people.

Surveying a table where officers displayed 11 bags of suspected drugs, guns and stacks of $20 bills, Knecht reflected on the items' significance.
"On that table you see exactly what drives the crime," Knecht said. "The profit from the money, the firearms to protect it and the drugs that are tearing our communities apart and causing addiction. That table exemplifies what's going on in our society."

Hessong said it's rare for a district-level bust to be this extensive. Knecht credited the uniformed beat officers who used their knowledge of the community to investigate tips and get results.
A return to beat policing has been one of the focuses for police Chief Bryan Roach. In April, he and Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett announced the creation of 78 beats across the city which would replace 33 zones, saying the beats would allow officers to be active in more focused areas rather than covering a zone.
"This is what beat policing does," Knecht said. "It makes a difference in the neighborhoods and the communities, and the officers actually care about their beats and work it and find these things."

Hessong said Tuesday's bust will hopefully reduce overdoses in the weeks to come, potentially saving lives.
"There's absolutely no way to tell what we did to prevent drug overdoses," Hessong said. "To give you an idea, each use of heroin is like a few grains of sand, and we have 45 pounds that's packed solid. So, there's no way to tell how many individual drug uses you have just with this product here."

The Syrian people (Arabic: الشعب السوري / ALA-LC: al-sha‘ab al-Sūrī) are the inhabitants and citizens of Syria and are, overall an indigenous Eastern Mediterranean people. While modern-day Syrians are commonly described as Arabs by virtue of their modern-day language and bonds to Arab culture and history, they are, in fact, largely a blend of the various Aramaic speaking groups indigenous to the region who were Arabized when Muslim Arabs from the Arabian Peninsula arrived and settled following the Arab expansion. Syrians are tied together by geography, linguistic heritage, religion, and similar Eastern Mediterranean ethnicities. Most Syrians reside primarily in Syria; however 17 million Syrians live outside of Syria and they stay connected to their cultural roots by watching Syrian satellite television, listening to Syrian music and preparing Syrian cuisine.
Damascus, the capital of Syria, is one of the most continuously inhabited cities in the world (for 8000 years straight, Syrians inhabited Damascus), and a large percentage of Damascenes are the descendents of the early inhabitants of Damascus.

The Central Military Media says buses carrying members of the Levant People's Brigades rebel group started moving on Monday from the badlands of the Lebanese border town of Arsal in the direction of the Syrian village of Fleeta.
The evacuation comes nearly two weeks after more than 7,000 Syrians, many of them al-Qaida-linked fighters and their families, left Arsal, following an offensive by Hezbollah.
The Levant People's Brigades whose members did not take part in last month's battles will be heading to the Syrian government-held town of Ruhaiba, about 50 kilometers (31 miles) northeast of the Syrian capital, Damascus.

Sebastien Normandin wanted for attempted murder in relation to a 2016 incident in Victoria
International police operation Interpol have listed a Victoria man as a person of interest.
Sebastien Jack Pierre Normandin, 47, was the suspect of a domestic violence incident in Victoria in late December of 2016.
Normandin fled at the time despite two counts of attempted murder, allegedly in connection with a serious vehicle collision involving a former girlfriend that occurred at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 27 of 2016. Police were called to the collision in the 1000 block of Gillespie Place in Victoria.
The 1.9-metre-tall (6-foot-5), 200-pound Normandin has been reported as the same Normandin who missed bail in the fall and who posts semi-regularly to social media, has a PhD in history and makes philosophical posts.
Normandin has a red notice status with Interpol – an equivalent to an international warrant – and is believed to have fled Canada to another country.
He’s wanted for attempt murder (times two), assault causing bodily harm, criminal harassment, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, assault causing bodily harm, assault and failure to comply with conditions.

GETTY*COLUMBIA A swarm of more than 250 quakes struck the border on Saturday
The flurry of quakes struck in the southern end of the Brawley Seismic Zone on Saturday. The zone is a seismically active region where tectonic plates are moving away from each other.
This causes the Earth’s crust to stretch out and is “basically adding land”, according to seismologist Egill Hauksson, from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). The zone falls in the region that connects the San Andreas fault with the Imperial fault, both of which have the potential to cause catastrophic earthquakes. Extending about 30 miles, the Brawley Seismic Zone stretches across the Salton Sea’s southern half and ends near Bombay Beach.

There’s always reason to be concerned for a bigger earthquake Egill Hauksson
The swarm’s most powerful tremor was a 3.9 magnitude quake, which struck underneath the town of Brawley. But Mr Hauksson, who was monitoring the swarm, warned there was a chance a tremor with a magnitude of 5 or higher could be triggered. He told the LA Times: “There’s always reason to be concerned for a bigger earthquake.”

Question: Gun Violence: How The U.S. Compares To Other Countries

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

Last weekend's massacre in Las Vegas is only the latest reminder of the persistent gun violence in the United States. And a new set of statistics on the rates of gun violence not related to conflict underscores just how outsize U.S. rates of gun deaths are compared to those in much of the rest of the world.
Take countries with the top indicators of socioeconomic success — income per person and average education level, for instance. The United States ranks ninth in the world among them, bested only by the likes of Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Iceland, Canada and Finland.
Yet while those countries all also enjoy low rates of gun violence, the U.S. has the 31st highest rate in the world: 3.85 deaths due to gun violence per 100,000 people in 2016. That was eight times higher than the rate in Canada, which had .48 deaths per 100,000 people — and 27 times higher than the one in Denmark, which had .14 deaths per 100,000.
The numbers comes from a massive database maintained by the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) that tracks lives lost in every country, in every year, by every possible cause of death. The figures for 2016 were released just last month. As in previous years the data paints a fairly rosy picture for much of the world, with deaths due to gun violence rare even in many countries that are extremely poor — such as Bangladesh and Laos, which saw .16 deaths and .13 deaths respectively per 100,000 people.
Prosperous Asian countries such as Singapore and Japan boast the absolute lowest rates, though the United Kingdom and Germany are in almost as good shape.
"It is a little surprising that a country like ours should have this level of gun violence," says Ali Mokdad, a professor of global health and epidemiology at the IHME. "If you compare us to other well-off countries we really stand out."
To be sure, there are quite a few countries where gun violence is a substantially larger problem than in the United States — particularly in Central America and the Caribbean. Mokdad says a major driver is the large presence of gangs and drug trafficking. "The gangs and drug traffickers fight amongst themselves to get more territory, and they fight the police," says Mokdad. And citizens who are not involved are often caught in the crossfire.
Mokdad said drug trafficking may also be a driving factor in two Asian countries that have unusually large rates of violent gun deaths for their region: the Philippines and Thailand.
With the casualties due to armed conflicts factored out, even in conflict-ridden regions such as the Middle East, the United States rate is worse than all but one country: Iraq.
The U.S. gun violence death rate is also higher than nearly all countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, including many that are among the world's poorest.
One more way to consider this data: The IHME also estimates what it would expect a country's rate of gun violence deaths to be based solely on its socioeconomic status. By that measure, the U.S. should only be seeing .79 deaths per 100,00 people — almost five times less than its actual rate of 3.85 deaths per 100,000.
