Question: Documents highlight Prince's struggle with opioid addiction

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

Before his death, Prince abused opioid pain pills, suffered withdrawal symptoms and received at least one opioid prescription under his bodyguard's name, according to search warrants and affidavits unsealed Monday.
Prince was 57 when he was found alone and unresponsive in an elevator at Paisley Park on April 21. Nearly a year after his accidental overdose death at his suburban Minneapolis studio and estate, investigators still don't know how he got the fentanyl that killed him. The newly unsealed documents give the clearest picture yet of Prince's struggle with opioid painkillers.

WHAT DO AUTHORITIES SAY HAPPENED?
Investigators heard plenty from the people at Paisley Park when Prince's body was discovered. They told investigators that Prince was recently "going through withdrawals, which are believed to be the result of the abuse of prescription medication."
When authorities later checked a database set up to monitor who's getting prescriptions for controlled substances, they found nothing for Prince. But there was a prescription for the opioid painkiller oxycodone written for Kirk Johnson, Prince's bodyguard.
The prescription was dated April 14, 2016, the same day Prince was revived with an anti-overdose drug after falling ill on a plane. Dr. Michael Schulenberg, who wrote the prescription, told authorities he put the prescription in Johnson's name to protect Prince's privacy, according to a detective's affidavit. Schulenberg's attorney, Amy Conners, said in a statement that Schulenberg never prescribed opioids to Prince directly nor to another person with the intent of giving them to the singer.
Johnson's attorney, Clayton Tyler, said Johnson "did not secure nor supply the drugs which caused Prince's death." An autopsy showed Prince died of an overdose of fentanyl, another drug in the opioid family.

WHAT ARE POTENTIAL CHARGES?
Writing a prescription under another person's name violates state and federal law, said Ruth Martinez, executive director of the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice.
Martinez said she could not comment on whether the board is investigating Schulenberg's treatment of Prince. The agency's website on Monday listed no disciplinary or corrective actions taken against the doctor.
The board doesn't launch investigations unless someone makes a complaint. Complaints typically take 90 to 120 days to resolve, she said.
A person convicted under the law could be stripped of the ability to prescribe controlled substances by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and face other discipline from the state medical board.

WHY NO CHARGES YET?
A year might seem like a long time without charges, but criminal justice experts say the fact that no one's been charged doesn't mean no one ever will. They say it's a complex thing to track illegally obtained pills, and investigators and prosecutors want to build strong cases before interviewing witnesses who might provide useful information.
Although they can resort to subpoenas, the targets can exercise their right against self-incrimination — and the only way to get them to talk after that is by offering immunity. And, experts say, prosecutors and investigators don't want to lose a high-profile case such as Prince's — likely increasing their caution.

HOW OFTEN DO PRESCRIBERS USE FALSE NAMES?
Martinez of the Minnesota medical board said it's "quite infrequent" for a doctor to write out a prescription for someone in another person's name.
Two Los Angeles attorneys say it happens all the time in Hollywood. Celebrities frequently use aliases in hospitals and doctor's offices.
Laws against prescribing with a false name are not usually enforced when a doctor intends to protect a celebrity's privacy, said Los Angeles attorney Ellyn Garofalo.
She represented a doctor who was acquitted of all charges, including false name allegations, in the death of Anna Nicole Smith, the Playboy model and reality TV star who died of an accidental overdose in 2007.
"They would be indicting every pharmacist in Beverly Hills if this were strictly enforced," Garofalo said Monday.
Los Angeles criminal defense attorney Harland Braun said there are good reasons for doctors to want to protect privacy with the insatiable appetite for celebrity gossip.
"Say you have a major male actor who has a prescription for Viagra, do you want that out on TMZ?" Braun said.

Politics of pain: Lobbyists fought opioid limits
Plagued by overdoses, this city innovated a solution. But similar bottom-up answers might be harder to come by in the future.

While figures show pain pill prescriptions in Arizona dropped nearly 10 percent over the last decade — 70.2 opioid prescriptions per 100 people — they have continued to rise in Mohave County and rural communities, like Kingman. (Photo: Jason Pohl/The Arizona Republic) Story Highlights The Kingman Police Department was the first in the state to create a Narcan training program.
Their program became the model across Arizona.
Some are wondering how else rural resource-scarce communities can find solutions of their own.
KINGMAN — The call came at 3:47 a.m. Oct. 15, 2016.
A 29-year-old man was unresponsive at an RV park a stone's throw from Interstate 40 in this historic northwest Arizona city nestled along Route 66.
Rubbing knuckles on the man's sternum — a painful tactic first responders use to awaken people — didn't have an effect. Neither did repositioning and shaking him. For a few minutes that felt like hours, a Kingman police officer was alone to render aid.
Trained in the use of naloxone just one month prior, the officer administered two doses of the opioid overdose-reversing drug, causing the man to snap awake.
He survived.
“It was exciting,” said Rusty Cooper, deputy chief of the 54-sworn Kingman Police Department. "That got some buy-in from the officers.”
Kingman was the first Arizona agency to train its officers to use naloxone, sold under the brand name Narcan, even as some in the industry balked at the idea.
In the six months that followed, Kingman police administered naloxone three more times, each on patients believed to have been overdosing on heroin.
All three lived.

PART 2: Rural Arizona 'doing the best we can' combating opioid epidemic
COMPLETE COVERAGE: The Science of Opioids: How a nation became addicted
“This doesn’t solve the overriding issue. We’re very aware of that," Cooper said. "This is a Band-Aid, a stopgap.”
The bottom-up innovation implemented by Kingman police would later become the state standard used to train and equip law enforcement in reversing opioid overdoses.
To understand why Kingman took on that role, one has to go back nearly a decade to when the opioid epidemic rooted here.

More prescriptions than people
The high-desert community of Kingman is the hub of Mohave County, a city of 30,000 people bolstered by jobs at the nearby hospital, county government and positions in the manufacturing sector.
It's also a major pass-through city tucked 100 miles from Las Vegas and at the junction of four major highways, including Interstate 40.
There was plenty of traffic when Dr. Albert Szu Sun Yeh began operating what amounted to a drive-through pill pick-up for OxyContin, Percocet and Vicodin on the outskirts of Kingman.
That so-called "pill mill," for which the doctor was convicted in 2009, put opioid distribution in rural Arizona on the map.
“It’s just exploded since then," Cooper said.
While figures show pain-pill prescriptions in Arizona dropped nearly 10 percent over the last decade — 70.2 opioid prescriptions per 100 people — they have continued to rise in Mohave County and other rural areas.
“The per-capita death rate in rural America is far worse than anything you’re seeing in urban America. That’s showing up, I think, a little bit more so in Arizona as well. That is just catastrophic.” James Hodge, a law professor at Arizona State University specializing in public health, ethics and emergency preparedness
The sparsely populated county saw more opioid prescriptions filled in 2016 than there were people, with 127.5 prescriptions dispensed per 100 residents last year. It was Arizona's most prolific county by that measure, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In 2017, four of Arizona's top opioid-prescribing doctors were operating there.
But the problem extends beyond pain pills.
Heroin deaths have more than tripled since 2012 in Arizona, a much faster growth rate than overdose deaths from prescription such as oxycodone and Vicodin, officials have said. A total of 790 Arizonans died from verified opioid overdoses in 2016, and heroin accounted for 39 percent of those deaths.
Though confirmed figures from 2017 are not yet available, data from enhanced tracking efforts suggest at least 716 people in Arizona are believed to have died of opioid-related overdoses during a six-month stretch of 2017, far exceeding previous death statistics that span an entire calendar year.
First responders statewide have administered more than 3,600 doses of overdose-reversing naloxone since enhanced tracking began. Reliable data about overdose fatalities before and after expanded naloxone use began is not yet available.
James Hodge is a law professor at Arizona State University specializing in public health, ethics and emergency preparedness. When discussing opioid overdoses, he recommended looking beyond death tolls and instead focusing on how widespread addiction issues affect smaller communities — issues that won't disappear only by restricting access to prescriptions.
"The per-capita death rate in rural America is far worse than anything you’re seeing in urban America," he said. "That’s showing up, I think, a little bit more so in Arizona as well. That is just catastrophic.”
Azcentral
From inspiration to action
Faced with a rising tide of drug-induced emergencies, Cooper and his public-safety counterparts began looking for answers.
One training session at a convention of the International Association of Chiefs of Police in 2015 piqued the interest of Kingman Police Chief Robert DeVries. The topic: police use of naloxone, long hailed by EMS as an opioid overdose-reversing drug.
The number of law-enforcement agencies carrying naloxone has ballooned since some of the first departments on the East Coast began using the overdose-reversal drug in 2014.
No lesson plan or written protocol existed in Arizona for police officers to train and carry the substance. Inspired to test a program locally, the chief asked Cooper to make it happen.
Spearheading the program ensured a seat at the policy table.
“A lot of things or expectations are based on what they’re doing in the State of Maricopa,” Cooper said, referring to the rural-urban divide with equal parts bitterness and sarcasm in his voice. "That doesn’t always fit for what we’re doing in a more rural area.”
Dan Winder, a battalion chief with Kingman Fire Department, partnered with Cooper on the naloxone training and rollout. Heather Miller, a trauma program manager and pre-hospital coordinator at Kingman Regional Medical Center, also pitched in.
Kingman police officers began learning how to use dual nose-spray Narcan kits in August 2016, and they were the first in Arizona to do so.

The program had buy-in from throughout the department, Cooper said, though some expressed concern that providing the life-saving drug could potentially enable the continuation of destructive, overdose behavior.
“Just because someone makes a bad choice doesn’t mean their life is not worth saving," Cooper said. "If we’re there five minutes early (before EMTs), a few minutes early, that’s what we do. There is no argument against that.”
The Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board began discussing and working on a naloxone training plan in 2016, but it wasn't until Kingman got involved that it turned into something concrete.
Authorities statewide have implemented similar programs since mandates came down from the governor's office in June.
Dozens of public-safety agencies — from police departments in Peoria and Flagstaff, to tribal authorities, even state livestock officers — have received thousands of free naloxone kits from the Arizona Department of Health Services.
Officers administered the drug about once a day, on average, in the last half of 2017, according to state records.
There were more than 60 overdoses without a fatality in the Kingman area in that time.
'Best that we can'
But bringing back someone from the brink doesn't mean they're able to begin dealing with their addiction.
Patient follow-ups are lacking, especially in many rural areas, according to the state's comprehensive opioid action plan. Some places don't have access to resources or experts who focus on crisis response or general behavioral health.
“At the end of the day, we have to rely on each other," Miller said. "We don’t have anybody else. All we have is each other."
While legislation signed in January allocated $10 million for treatment, that's likely a drop in the bucket considering the thousands of people who overdosed last year in cities big and small. A statewide telemedicine program, where patients with substance-use disorders can dial in for treatment and consultations, could be part of the solution.
Until then, first responders in Kingman and other parts of the state feel like their options are limited.
“I guess in our little neck of the woods in northwestern Arizona," Winder said, "we’re just doing the best that we can."

Question: Surprise, Trump's Education Ideas Are Polarizing

Represent this text to find a news title for it.

In the last year, there's been a big drop in support for charter schools, while other forms of school choice are getting a little less unpopular. That's the top line of a national poll released today.
President Trump and his education secretary Betsy DeVos have put school choice front and center on their education agenda. The general idea of "choice," however, takes many forms.
Charter schools are paid for by tax dollars, charge no tuition and are managed independently of public school districts.
Vouchers allow students to use tax dollars to pay tuition at private schools.
Tax-credit scholarships, now available in 17 states, which allow individuals and companies to get a tax credit for donating to scholarship funds that are used in turn for private school tuition.
U.S. opinion on these ideas seems to be shifting, according to a new poll from EducationNext, an opinion and policy journal associated with free-market education reform ideas. They've been asking similar questions for the past decade.
Here are the latest results:
Charters: Last year 51 percent of the public supported "the formation of charter schools"; this year it's just 39 percent, a 12 point drop in one year.
Vouchers: 45 percent are either strongly or somewhat supportive of universal vouchers. That's a bounce from last year, but more or less in line with the five years before.
Tax credits: This was the most popular form of school choice with 55 percent of the general public supporting this year; also a one-year bounce, but in line with longer-term trends.
There's no one obvious explanation for the change in opinion on charter schools. The drop was seen among both Democrats and Republicans and amongst all racial and ethnic groups.
"That's the largest change on any survey item, and one of the largest single-year changes in opinion that we've seen over the 11-year history of the survey," Martin West, the editor in chief of EducationNext, said on a press conference call.
The wording of the question — about the formation of charter schools — may hold a clue. In theory, it might be possible to have very positive feelings about the charter schools currently in your community, yet still oppose new ones.
And the expansion of charters is exactly what communities around the country have been fighting over.
Last year the NAACP and Black Lives Matter called for a moratorium on the growth of charter schools (the NAACP called more recently for a ban on for-profit management of these schools). The state of Massachusetts saw a bruising fight over its charter cap. Detroit's proliferation of charters has been labeled "a glut" and "chaos." And charter expansion was the central issue in the school board race in Los Angeles, one of the biggest public school districts in the country.
The nationally representative poll breaks down respondents by political party, and there's a clear partisan divide on many issues, even as public opinion shifts. Last year, for example, 57 percent of Democrats favored universal vouchers, against 45 percent of Republicans. This year they've switched places: 62 percent of Republicans like them and only 50 percent of Democrats agree.
Zeroing in on that political divide, pollsters also measured what they called the "Trump effect." That is, how do responses change when some people are told that the president supports or opposes a particular issue?
They found that self-identified Republicans are more likely to support an issue if they are informed that Trump also supports it, while Democrats are the opposite. However, Trump's net influence is nearly nil, which makes him less of a force than President Obama was in this poll in 2009. Back then, when respondents on all sides were told the new President supported an education issue, they were more likely to back it, by double digits.
This poll, then, serves as a snapshot of what some have called the breakdown of a long-standing bipartisan consensus on education that dated back to No Child Left Behind.
Still, there is one enduring issue where blue- and red-state opinions are near-identical: approval of the local public schools. 55 percent of Republicans and 54 percent of Democrats give local schools a B or an A.

Question: Groups sue to overturn Alaska petroleum reserve lease sale - WBRC FOX6 News - Birmingham, AL

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

By DAN JOLING
Associated Press
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Two lawsuits filed Friday claim the federal government conducted petroleum lease sales without proper environmental review in a part of northern Alaska known for its wildlife.
The Bureau of Land Management on Dec. 14 conducted the largest-ever lease offering within the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, putting out for bid 900 tracts covering 16,100 square miles (41,700 sq. kilometers), roughly the size of New Hampshire and Massachusetts combined.
In the first lawsuit, five environmental groups said the BLM relied on an environmental review preceding a 2013 NPR-A management plan for the lease sale. Federal law for lease sales, the lawsuit said, required an updated environmental review of the specific land to be offered in a sale, and how wildlife and habitat would be affected.
"The Trump Administration is in such a rush to sell off our public lands to the oil and gas industry that it isn't even taking the time to comply with the law," Suzanne Bostrom, an attorney for Trustees for Alaska, an environmental law firm representing the groups, said in a statement.
In the second lawsuit, filed by environmental law firm Earthjustice, four other environmental groups claimed 2016 and 2017 lease sales in the reserve were illegal because the Interior Department failed to take a hard look at their effects on greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.
Email requests for comment from the Interior Department and the U.S. Department of Justice were not returned Friday.
The petroleum reserve was created in 1923 by President Warren Harding as an emergency oil supply for the Navy. The reserve is south of the country's northernmost city, Utqiagvik, formerly Barrow.
The reserve covers 35,625 square miles (92,269 sq. kilometers), about the size of Indiana. There are 189 authorized petroleum leases in the NPR-A.
A management plan for the reserve adopted in 2013 splits its acreage roughly in half between conservation areas and land available for petroleum development. Former Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said at the time that oil companies would have access to nearly three-fourths of the estimated economically recoverable oil in the reserve.
Salazar called the reserve an "iconic place on our Earth," home to two caribou herds that are hunted by 40 northern and western Alaska Native villages to support a subsistence life. Polar bears roam the coast. The reserve includes renowned habitat for migratory waterfowl, including black brant, Canada geese and greater white-fronted geese.
In May, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke signed an order to review the Obama administration management plan. The December lease sale included no land within conservation areas. However, it offered all other NPR-A land designated by Salazar as available for drilling.
Lisa Baraff, program director for the Northern Alaska Environmental Center, said federal environmental law requires site-specific analysis of the effects of oil development on wildlife, habitat, fish and subsistence use. She said a more general environmental review preceding the 2013 management plan was not sufficient.
The December sale attracted bids on just seven tracts covering 125 square miles (324 sq. kilometers), all submitted jointly by subsidiaries of ConocoPhillips and Anadarko.
The first lawsuit was filed by the Northern Alaska Environmental Center, Alaska Wilderness League, Defenders of Wildlife, Sierra Club and The Wilderness Society.
The second lawsuit was filed by the Natural Resources Defense Council, Center for Biological Diversity, Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth.

Question: Ibaka a 'hell of a competitor'

TORONTO — For most of his five seasons in Toronto, we waited for Terrence Ross to become something other than disappointing, confounding and overpaid.
It finally happened on Tuesday.
He became trade bait.
He became the significant piece on another day to shine for Masai Ujiri, the executive who quieted the noise, turned down the volume, and brought a sense of internal peace and external joy to a Raptors team desperately in need of alterations.
That’s what leadership is in professional sport and that’s what leadership does: Rather silently and without buildup, Ujiri brought the much-coveted Serge Ibaka to the Raptors. A player he has viewed from afar with envy for many years. He has known Ibaka as friend, as fellow African, as part of the basketball community at large.
Now he will know him in a much more intimate way, as teammate of sorts, as Raptors player, as someone who can come in and shake the Raptors’ foundation at a time when shaking is needed. A real starting power forward.
Not a bench guy. Not Luis Scola. Not Amir Johnson. Not like anything Dwane Casey has had in his coaching arsenal before in Toronto.
He’s the kind of player who understands winning, who is playoff-tested and playoff-ready, who has a clear comprehension of what April, May and June is all about in the NBA. He should make life easier for Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan. He’s a high-percentage shooter. A quick defender. A large presence at 6-foot-10, although not quite the shot blocker he was in his early years.
“I’ve known this guy for years,” said Ujiri. “He’s a hell of a competitor. Everybody knows who Serge is, he’s a warrior. He gives us good rim protection, he’s a good defender. He can play multiple positions.”
Ibaka led the NBA four times in blocked shots and was on the all-defensive team three times. He should also make life easier for Jonas Valanciunas and Patrick Patterson — one has slightly regressed in this up-and-down season and the other will return now to where he belongs, coming off the bench instead of starting.
This would be a home run of sorts for Ujiri and the Raptors except for the unknown aspects of the deal, and that includes exactly where Andy Miller, the player agent, fits in. The NBA is nothing if not an agent’s league. Miller represents the pending free agent, Ibaka, and the pending free agent, Lowry.
Suddenly, he becomes a figure of significance about the Raptors’ future. If Ujiri and his general manager, Jeff Weltman, have the most influence on what the Raptors do in the future, Miller’s influence cannot be understated here. He can go shopping with Lowry and Ibaka this summer or he can settle in for a long ride with Lowry and Ibaka playing alongside DeRozan and Valanciunas.
That’s the scenario Ujiri and Casey favour. Casey is always talking about how veteran teams win in the NBA. Teams that stay together. Teams with texture and experience.
This could be one of those teams.
Ujiri doesn’t deal often or without purpose. The Rudy Gay and Andrea Bargnani trades, seemingly impossible to make, proved to be big wins for the Raptors. He turned around and traded the pretty much finished John Salmons for Lucas Nogueiro and Lou Williams.
Even the small trades have produced victories. Greivis Vasquez was sent to Milwaukee for Norm Powell and a first-round pick. Vasquez is basically done as an NBA player; Powell, who should benefit from the trading of Ross, is just beginning to show his capabilities.
And now this deal on Tuesday for Ibaka, which makes the Raptors’ starting lineup the strongest it has ever been with a bench still capable and the assumption that one of these weeks Jared Sullinger will be able to contribute something.
Before Tuesday night’s game in Chicago, the Raptors had won four of 14 games. “We’ve had a bad stretch,” said Ujiri. “We never know how (the trade) fits on paper. We fill a hole, a gap that we’ve been missing. Hopefully, this gives us that jump that we need.”
Ibaka comes in and yet I can’t forget the night the Raptors drafted Ross. The Raptors really wanted Harrison Barnes that night. Coach Casey was sent out to speak to the media and talk up their first pick as the second round proceeded.
Casey is terrible at not telling the truth. He can’t look you in the face and lie with any conviction. It’s one of his most endearing qualities. He said he was happy to have Ross. He said so with a crooked smile.
The next four-and-a-half years he spent trying to figure out his vastly talented, wildly athletic, forever inconsistent wingman. This was his best season.
Ross grew up as a basketball player in Toronto. He just didn’t grow into whatever kind of the player the Raptors hoped he would become, but he was enough to entice Orlando into moving Ibaka.
Now Casey doesn’t have to guess anymore. He knows what Serge Ibaka brings. Ibaka’s career has almost been a straight statistical line.
Casey has a new part and a brand new starting lineup. He has two months to get ready for playoffs. Two months to figure this team out.

Paul George is the undoubted leader of the Indiana Pacers, but the star man wants more help on that front from Lance Stephenson.
MORE: Cavs 'Big 3' combines for 89 points in Game 2 win
The recently re-acquired guard socred 13 points in 26 minutes, but became frustrated in the third qaurter after a stretch defending Cavaliers power forward Kevin Love, who was having a field day, finishing with 27 points, a lot of them coming against Stephenson.
"He's got to learn to control himself," George said following the 117-111 loss.
"He's got to learn to just be in the moment. Lance is in our locker room is looked upon as a leader. His body language has to improve just for the team."

"We all know Lance is an emotional guy and a lot of it is just his heart and his competitiveness that emotion comes out," George added. "He's just got to channel that and put it toward making effort plays on the court and doing whatever he needs for us to succeed."
Pacers coach Nate McMillan was similarly frustrated with Stephenson's body language, telling him to 'calm down' towards the end of the third quarter.

Question: Flynn, Hawkinson lead Washington State past Washington 79-74

Represent the article to find a fitting news title!

SEATTLE (AP) -- Malachi Flynn did what he wanted in the final 2 1/2 minutes, dribbling around screens, scoring baskets and lifting his team. And for all that Washington freshman Markelle Fultz did, it was Washington State's freshman guard that was the star in the closing moments.
Flynn scored eight of his 16 points in the final 2:13, and Washington State rallied for a stunning 79-74 win over Washington on Sunday night.
''For a freshman to come back home, in this environment and have the poise - not only to want the ball but to have the poise to make the plays consistently - that shows you his potential greatness down the road,'' Washington State coach Ernie Kent said.
Washington State (8-5, 1-0 Pac-12) closed the game on a 12-3 run thanks to Flynn and Josh Hawkinson. Trailing 71-67, the duo took over, combining to score the final 12 points for the Cougars and give them their first conference victory in nearly a calendar year.
Washington State's last conference win came on Jan. 3, 2016 when the Cougars beat UCLA at home. Seventeen straight losses to conference opponents later, the Cougars finally snapped their skid.
Hawkinson finished with 26 points and eight rebounds, while Flynn scored 13 in the second half. Flynn made 6 of 10 shots and added six assists.
''It's big coming to Seattle and winning our first game but we know we've got a lot down the road,'' Flynn said.
Fultz led Washington (7-6, 0-1) with 26 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds, falling just short of the first triple-double in Washington history. But after carrying Washington for most of the second half, Fultz went scoreless in the final 2 1/2 minutes. After taking a 71-67 lead, Washington missed four straight shots and had a key turnover during a stretch where Flynn was fantastic.
Noah Dickerson added 19 points for the Huskies.
''A very tough loss. It's not just your conference opener but it's an opener at home and we did not play well enough to get it done. Very unfortunate,'' Washington coach Lorenzo Romar said.
Fultz spent the first 25 minutes getting others involved, before taking over the scoring to help Washington rally from an eight-point deficit early in the second half. Fultz scored nine of 13 points during a 5 1/2 minute stretch, and Washington pulled even at 64-64 with 7:37 remaining after a layup by Dickerson.
Washington State briefly took a 67-66 lead after Hawkinson split a pair of free throws with 4:20 remaining, but Fultz's 17-footer with 3:22 remaining put the Huskies ahead 68-67. Less than a minute later, Fultz's 3-pointer over Hawkinson as the shot clock expired extended the lead to 71-67.
That's when Flynn took over. He answered quickly with a driving layup and Hawkinson's basket underneath with 1:36 left pulled the Cougars even at 71-71.
Fultz turned the ball over on Washington's next possession and Flynn beat David Crisp off a screen and scored with 48.6 remaining to give Washington State the lead. Fultz missed a driving layup with his left hand and rather than foul, Washington played out the remaining time. Flynn beat Dickerson off the dribble and scored at the rim with 13.9 seconds left for a four-point lead and Washington State added four free throws in the final seconds.
''We didn't guard the ball screen properly,'' Romar said. ''The first half we did a very good job guarding everything. But there were breakdowns in the second half and in those final stretches ball-screen defense broke down.''
BIG PICTURE
Washington State: The Cougars snapped an eight-game losing streak in conference openers. Washington State's last conference opening victory came in the 2007-08 season when the Cougars beat Washington 56-52 in Seattle.
Washington: Fultz got little help from his supporting cast outside of Dickerson. Washington's other three starters - Crisp, Matisse Thybulle and Malik Dime - combined for just 18 points.
TURNING POINT
Washington led by as many as 13 in the first half, only to see Washington State cut the lead to seven by halftime and surge in the opening moments of the second half. The Cougars scored the first 14 points of the half and built a 49-41 lead before Crisp finally knocked down the Huskies first shot of the half.

Question: Alex Jones plays a character on Infowars named 'Alex Jones,' says lawyer for Alex Jones

In professional wrestling, everyone's in on the joke. It's not real, at least in the sense that it's not meant to be taken seriously.
But in the far-right media, nobody appears to be in on the joke—the joke, in this case being InfoWars host Alex Jones.
That's not an opinion, or any kind of hot take form us. That's actually via his lawyer.
Jones, who's emerged in recent years as a leading voice in (very) conservative media, is preparing to argue that his public persona is fake. He's a "performance artist," Jones' lawyer told a court, during a recent hearing in preparation for a child custody trial between Jones and his ex-wife.
The lawyer reportedly used an analogy to Jack Nicholson playing the Joker in "Batman," arguing that in a child custody case, Nicholson wouldn't be judged based on having once played the Joker, according to the Austin American-Statesman.
Whether arguing that Jones is the Joker (or a joke), the fact that he's taken very seriously by his fans is an undisputed reality.
For those who might've lived a blessed life free of Jones, he's the radio host and CEO of Infowars.com, best known for peddling conspiracy-based "news," like a "report" that the Sandy Hook massacre never happened. Jones also tends to go off on bizarre rants and, sometimes, rips his shirt off.
Jones (or at least his lawyer) is making this argument at what's arguably the height of his fame. Once just another shock jock, Jones built a strong following among anti-establishment conservatives that would later be seen as a major source of support for Donald Trump. Since his election, Infowars in particular has emerged as a reliably pro-Trump outlet. There were even reports that the Trump White House would be issuing press credentials to Infowars.
Infowars, however, is Alex Jones, much in the way that Glenn Beck (in many ways the precursor to Jones) turned himself into a multimedia presence that catered to the far right. But where Beck's toned down his rhetoric and even seemed to take a step back from the spotlight, Jones is constantly front-and-center of his empire.
And that person—Alex Jones, of Infowars—according to Jones' lawyer, is just an act.
To bolster his case, Jones is echoing a similar claim from a high profile trial that happened just more than a year ago— Hulk Hogan's lawsuit against Gawker.
Hogan at the time claimed that his privacy had been violated by the website's posting of a short clip of a sex tape depicting Hogan and the wife of a friend. Gawker claimed Hogan's own speech concerning his sex life made the footage newsworthy. Hogan then claimed that those public statements were part of his persona, and that the tape was of Terry Bollea (Hogan's given name).
A Florida jury sided with Hogan, awarding him more than $140 million—a finding that would force Gawker to be sold off. And Jones certainly can seem like a professional wrestler, growling into a microphone, or even confronting his rivals in person.
If Jones can use the Hogan defense, then the equivalence is clear: For Alex Jones and the far right, there's little (if any) difference. The world Jones inhabits is filled with cartoonish figures with shifting alliances and few journalistic scruples. Look at the adventures of figures like Milo Yiannopolous and Tomi Lahren, the latter of which became a far-right star after finding that embracing the fringe put her on television. Their calculated personas rival anything seen on the WWE—just replace spandex with business casual, and the wrestling ring with Twitter.
It's a pretty nihilistic way to look at modern media, though not one entirely without its fans. Jeff Zucker, president of CNN, recently responded to criticism of the channel's willingness to put on less-than-qualified pro-Trump voices by saying that they're all "characters in a drama." That drama? It's pushed CNN to the most successful run in its history.
How does journalism or the search for truth factor into all this? For Jones's character, it's a combination of the honesty of the jester and the "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore" rage made famous in "Network." Jones seems to ask: Can you trust your anchor if he's not tearing his shirt off? (Looking at you, Wolf Blitzer.)
Whether Jones wins in court isn't terribly important to the media world (it is extremely important, of course, to the future of his family). In the Trump-based reality in which we now live, Jones is trustworthy even if he does end up telling a judge that his public persona is entirely fabricated. Besides, a Jones supporter might retort, all of media is fabricated.
It's just that Jones is just the most honest liar. Take his word for it.

Stephen Colbert Is Back as a Conservative Host, But Not the One You'd Expect
Stephen Colbert debuted a brand new impression of the fiery conspiracy theory-peddling InfoWars host Alex Jones on Monday night's The Late Show .
An attorney for Jones recently argued that that the host is " playing a character ," when he is running his show. "He is a performance artist," the lawyer said during a hearing related to Jones' ongoing custody battle, the Austin American-Statesman reported.
But Colbert didn't buy the argument from the Trump-endorsed radio personality.
"If Alex Jones really is a character, then President Trump got phished hard," Colbert said.
"Everybody knows that for many years I played a satirical right-wing character," the late-night host continued, adding that knows a thing or two about about faking it for the camera from his days on Comedy Central's Colbert Report .
Colbert then debuted a clip of his own Jones spoof, introducing himself as Tuck Buckford.
"I'm a skeleton in angry meat. I'm a warrior. I'm a king," he raged with growing fury on the parody show Brain Fight .

"['This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title', 'Lebanon began its first ever exploration for oil and gas this week. An international consortium led by France’s Total is to carry out the drilling. Lebanon, which shares the so-called Levant Basin with Israel, Cyprus and Syria, lags far behind Israel and Cyprus in exploring and developing its share of resources. But the deal is not without controversy.\nLebanon did not issue legislation facilitating offshore oil drilling until last year.\n“Lebanon has been very much delayed in getting to its first steps of developing its gas,” says Valérie Marcel, an oil specialist with Chatham House.\nSo it is clear that the relationship between the oil industry and the Lebanese government is not much in favor of the Lebanese government Lebanon starts oil exploration 30/05/2018 - by Jan van der Made Listen\n“The bidding process was delayed by political paralysis, the key legislative documents were not approved by the cabinet and it was the object of some political wrangling.\n“And then finally things started to fall into place, and now are moving at a good rhythm, a good pace. So I think the intention is really to catch up with Cyprus and to catch up with Israel and not be left behind,” she says.\nIsrael and Cyprus are also involved in oil exploration in the eastern Mediterranean.\nBut Lebanon and Israel have a difficult relationship.\nThe major problem is that Lebanon doesn’t recognise Israel as a state, so attempts to solve a territorial dispute in the common coastal area have failed.\nA triangular area of about 850 square kilometers is disputed and exactly this area is believed to be potentially rich in oil and gas reserves.\nEEZ claims clash\nIn October 2010 Lebanon sent its Economic Exclusion Zone (EEZ) delineation to the United Nations after an agreement with Cyprus in 2007.\nIn July 2011 Israel officially adopted its own EEZ after negotiating it with Cyprus, creating an overlapping zone between the two countries’ territories of 850 to 870 km², ignoring the Lebanese law.\nUS attempts to mediate resulted in the “Hoff blue line” proposal, a maritime blue line marking a neutral zone between Israel and Lebanon named after State Department official Frederic Hoff.\nBut, although the proposal was accepted by Israel, it was rejected by Lebanon.\nSo Total and the other members of the consortium, the Italian Eni and the Russian Novatek, have decided not to drill in the disputed area.\n“Initially, after awarding the contract there was a bit of uncertainty about what the consortium planned for its drilling,” says Marcel, ”whether it would be encroaching on that disputed area.\n“But in fact they clarified more recently that they were going to be staying well clear off the disputed area, in that the more interesting prospect in that block were kilometres away.\n”So that reduces very much the tensions with Israel."\nIs Lebanon ready?\nTerritorial considerations aside, is Lebanon ready to plunge into the world of oil and gas exploration?\nThe country does not have its own national petroleum company or other structures needed to enter the energy market.\n“The big question is: will the Lebanese be able to establish a national sovereign fund in order to invest the gas money?” says Hilal Kachan, an analyst at the American University of Beirut.\n“Given the nature of Lebanon’s fragmented political system and its lack of accountability, this seems to be a big challenge."\nAnother problem is that because reserves have not yet been proved to exist, so the consortium is taking a big risk in investing in the area.\nAnalysts say that the Production Sharing Agreement between the Lebanese government and the oil companies does not look very good for Beirut, at least on paper.\n“In Lebanon you have some criticism, saying the terms are favorable for the oil companies and the country will not earn enough money if there are oil and gas discoveries,” says Francis Perrin, an oil analyst with the OCP Policy Center in Rabat.\n“But, of course, the Lebanese government wanted to attract these investors, and we may see that, in fact, there were not a lot of investors. Apart from the consortium comprising Total, which was awarded two offshore blocks, you did not have any other company or consortium which participated in the initial bidding round."\nSo the Lebanese government is not in a strong position in relation to the oil industry, Perrin believes.\nBut some Lebanese have high hopes of the deal, speculating that, if oil is found and production starts, it could earn the country to 50 billion euros per year.\nThat would come in handy for a country of whose economy is under tremendous strain as a result of the refugee crisis caused by the war in next-door Syria.']" == "['Represent this title to get a news article that provides more details about it:', 'Lebanon to drill for oil despite maritime border dispute with Israel']"

City administrators on Sunday suspended a ceremony to unveil a memorial to soldiers killed during the Battle of Monte Cassino due to public outrage.
The memorial was to have the following words engraved in Italian, English and German: "In memory and recognition of the soldiers of all nations who fell in the bloody Battle of Cassino and all the civilian victims of the terrible war."
Historians estimate that 20,000 German soldiers were killed in the battle, while Allied powers lost more than 50,000 lives.

Days before the unveiling set for Sunday, the National Association of Italian Partisans (ANPI), an association founded in 1944 by members of the Italian resistance, called it disgraceful that the town of Monte Cassino would erect such a memorial.
"In all likelihood, [the memorial] equates the fighters for the liberation of Italy from occupation and slavery to Hitler's totalitarian atrocities with those who committed those atrocities to the detriment of Italians," said ANPI in a statement published on Facebook.
A mock-up of the memorial is shown in a screenshot from the Facebook page of the Battle of Cassino Association
'No intention of honoring murderers'
However, the Battle of Cassino Association's research center said critics had spread "disinformation" about the memorial, which was to be erected on a tourist trail that tells the story of the battle.
"This initiative has no intention of honoring murderers," the research center said. "I think that historical memory transmits, communicates and solicits dialogue, and memory is the basis for a reconciliation of the peoples who suffered and those that caused immense tragedy."

Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini led Italy into World War II as an ally of Nazi Germany in 1940. He was later deposed during the allied invasion of Italy in 1943 and executed in 1945.
German General Hans-Werner Fritz, who heads the German confederation of paratroopers, had been expected to attend the ceremony before it was cancelled.

Question: Kids prefer the TV for their viewing, but love other devices

represent the article to find a fitting news title

NEW YORK >> Grace Ellis has never known a time when you needed a TV to watch TV.
The North Attleboro, Massachusetts, fifth-grader watches shows like “Liv and Maddie,” “Jessie” and “The Lodge” on her laptop, iPad and phone.
“Sometimes I watch TV in the car,” she says. “I have ballet every day, so I watch on the way.”
She has a TV in her bedroom that isn’t hooked up to cable but is perfect for watching DVDs.

And the family’s flat-screen has advantages of its own.
“It’s much bigger,” Grace explains, “and on the couch, it’s comfier.”
Ever since freckle-faced puppet Howdy Doody ushered in children’s television nearly 70 years ago, each new generation of viewers has been treated to a growing bounty of programs on a mushrooming selection of gadgetry.
But nothing compares to the current wave: “The generation coming up now is used to having everything at their fingertips,” says Stacey Lynn Schulman, an analyst at the Katz Media Group.
Why not? From birth, theirs has been a world of video digitally issuing from every screen. And for them, any of those screens is just another screen, whether or not you call it “TV.”
“When they love a (show), they love it in every form and on every platform,” says Nickelodeon president Cyma Zarghami.
This keeps the bosses at each kids’ network scrambling to make sure that wherever children turn their eyes, that network’s programing will be there.
Even so, it may be surprising that children nonetheless watch most television on, well, a television. As in: old-fashioned linear, while-it’s-actually-airing telecasts.
A new Nielsen study finds that in the fourth quarter of 2016, viewers aged 2-11 averaged about 17 hours of live (not time-shifted) TV each week. Granted, that’s a drop of about 90 minutes weekly from the year before. But by comparison, kids in fourth quarter 2016 spent about 4½ hours weekly watching video content on other devices.
“Linear TV is still the lion’s share of where kids’ time is spent,” says Jane Gould, senior vice president for consumer insights for Disney Channel. “But it’s important for us to be in all the OTHER places where they are, as well.”
One reason: Those other outlets can pave the way for a new program’s arrival on linear TV.
Gould points to “Andi Mack,” an ambitious young-adult comedy-drama that debuted on Disney Channel on April 7. Weeks before it landed there, the series could be sampled on digital platforms including the Disney Channel app, Disney.com, Disney Channel YouTube, iTunes, Amazon and Google Play.
Count Grace Ellis among the legions of kids whose attention was snagged by this mega-buildup. When “Andi Mack” premiered, Grace was one of the 9 million TV viewers who tuned in.
When “Sesame Street” premiered on PBS back in 1969, it joined a bare handful of TV shows (chief among them “Captain Kangaroo” and “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood”) devoted to uplifting their young audience.
Nearly a half-century later, “Sesame Street” is going strong.
“PBS is still at its core,” says Sesame Workshop COO Steve Youngwood. So is TV overall, as demonstrated by the series expanding to HBO a year ago. TV currently accounts for 40 percent of its viewership.
But “Sesame Street” has never stopped adapting to an evolving media landscape that today finds 18 percent of its audience viewing on tablets, 14 percent on mobile phones and 25 percent on other streaming devices and computers.
That includes YouTube, where its program content has been a presence for some time. Now it’s getting special focus with the launch of Sesame Studios, which Youngwood describes as “a separate production unit specifically for that platform. We want to harness the power of YouTube to educate kids just like we harnessed the power of TV 50 years ago.”
A half-century ago “streaming video” was an unimagined wonder. But today’s TV landscape has been upended by this technology, and by major streaming-video outlets like Hulu, Amazon and Netflix as they aggressively vie for kids’ (as well as everybody else’s) attention.
Netflix famously doesn’t disclose viewership figures. But according to Andy Yeatman, director of global kids content, “About half of our members around the world watch kids’ content on a regular basis. So it’s a very large, engaged audience.
“Between new and returning series last year, we added 35 new seasons of kids’ originals,” he says. Similar expansion is projected this year.
In a bygone era with just a handful of TV channels, kids could count on finding shows aimed at them only on Saturday mornings and weekday afternoons.
Nickelodeon’s Zarghami pegs 2013-14 as the most recent turning point for kids TV, “when the landscape seriously shifted,” she says, with streaming-video-on-demand providers gaining a real foothold and supplemental devices like tablets and mobile taking off.
Today, Nick has six on-demand platforms, “and we went from 500 new episodes in a season to close to 700 this season,” she says.
In short, kids are flooded with just-for-them content from every direction. But even that’s not enough.
“What they really look for is, to be surprised,” says Disney Channel’s Gould. “That’s the real challenge: How do we surprise and delight them?”
Schulman of the Katz Media Group has her own prediction for where the next round of surprises might be waiting.
“Virtual reality has been hard to get off the ground, but kids are all about immersive experiences,” she says. When VR is ready for them, “that’s probably going to be the next big thing.”

For instance, kids today are much more aware of what is going on around them because of cell phones they carry double as Internet-enabled computers. They have the ability to manage numerous social media sites and access information at will.

Question: The Worlds Most Popular Rugby League Website

I understand why we have the salary cap as low over here but while it is as low i doubt we will compete with NRL teams . Having show games in other continents to promote RL is all well and good but....
1) We do very little to promote the game on home soil (by that i mean UK wide) and what little promotion we do is of very poor quality. If we hadn't been Wigan / RL supporters on a regular basis we would have known nothing of the fact Scotland having a national RL team and the fact they were playing in the four nations tournament last Autumn and did it to a very reasonable standard as well
2) We deprive loyal fans of RL on home soil seeing top teams and glamour games in favour of others (USA ?) who will probably attend a glamour game but not your run of the mill league matches . The Toronto experiment will be interesting reading say 3 years down the line.
Lets get our house in order and promoting the game properly over here before we start getting carried away about global promotion.
Rant over lol

Question: Kitty litter helps Wyoming bentonite past drilling slump

Represent the article to find a fitting news title.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — The market for a peculiar type of clay is looking up thanks to improved prospects for oil and gas drilling and to cat owners who use the stuff to soak up their pets’ business.
Over 90 percent of all bentonite mined in the U.S. and almost half worldwide comes from beds of ancient volcanic ash in Wyoming. Some call bentonite the mineral of 1,000 uses: It clarifies wine and other alcoholic beverages, forms an impervious liner to keep landfills from leaking, removes ink during paper recycling, and goes into a slew of homeopathic remedies.
But two of the biggest uses are in kitty litter and drilling mud, the goop pumped down oil and gas wells during drilling to keep the bit cool and carry cuttings to the surface.
As the oil and gas industry’s fortunes rise and fall, so can bentonite’s. Over the past two years, bentonite mining companies that do a lot of business with the oilfield services industry suffered while the oil and gas industry experienced its worst slump in 20 years or more.

Now, oil and gas prices have recovered somewhat, and petroleum companies look to drill more soon. Bentonite sales likewise show new signs of life, said Rick Magstadt, vice president of manufacturing for bentonite miner Wyo-Ben Inc.
“I’m not going to hex it by saying that I think it’s going to be a lot better, but we expect a better year than we did last year,” Magstadt said.
Bentonite assists drilling because of a property called thixotropy, which causes drilling mud to liquefy in the friction of drilling and solidify when the motion stops.
Cat litter has helped the industry ride out the oil and gas downturn, said Wyoming Mining Association Executive Director Travis Deti.
“The pet litter industry has been very steady,” Deti said. “That’s a remarkable thing that I don’t think people realize. We’re kind of like the pet litter capital of the world.”
Drilling mud accounts for the largest portion of Wyo-Ben’s business, while kitty litter and environmental lining round out the company’s top three markets, Magstadt said.
Other bentonite mining and processing companies focus almost exclusively on kitty litter, and business has been steady, said Tom Thorson, president of Black Hills Bentonite, which gets 80 to 90 percent of its business from Clorox and other companies that make kitty litter.
Bentonite kitty litter isn’t terribly kind to the environment because it comes from surface mines and flushing the stuff, which can absorb up to 10 times its weight in water and swell up to 16 times its original size, isn’t a good idea. Bentonite-based kitty litter — millions of tons a year — takes up space in landfills and doesn’t decompose.
But alternatives, such as corn-based litter, haven’t really caught on despite growing demand for environmentally friendly pet products, said Shannon Brown, an analyst with the market research firm Packaged Facts.
Cat owners often find that biodegradable kitty litters, which can be quite a bit more expensive, doesn’t work as well as bentonite-based litters, she said.
“They either don’t like them or their cats don’t like them. And so, in many cases, people will try them and then just go back to their standard, clay litter,” Brown said.
Nationwide, sales of kitty litter approached $2.9 billion last year. Three-quarters of cat owners buy kitty litter and three-quarters of those buy clay clumping kitty litter, according to Packaged Facts.
Recently the U.S. Bureau of Land Management approved Wyo-Ben’s plans to expand a bentonite pit near Thermopolis in north-central Wyoming. It was a rare bit of good news for Wyoming’s mining industry, hit hard by a downturn in coal and a recent BLM coal-leasing moratorium.
Wyoming, the top coal-mining state, produces about as much coal in four days as the state’s nine bentonite mines do all year. The 4.3 million tons of bentonite mined nationwide last year was down 10 percent from the year before, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Bentonite mining and processing continues to employ almost 700 people in Wyoming, thanks in no small part to cat owners.
“It doesn’t sound that sexy, but it’s good for business,” Magstadt said.
