DALLAS (AP) - Allison Preiss became a hero to airline passengers this spring when she scored a $10,000 travel voucher for losing her seat on an oversold flight.
Negotiating skill mixed with a bit of luck helped Preiss land the elusive payoff.
With the peak summer travel season right around the corner, other passengers can learn from Preiss's example if they wind up on an overcrowded flight.

There are two situations that passengers might find themselves in, and their rights - and bargaining power - vary greatly between them.
In the first, an airline forces a passenger off a flight for lack of space - called bumping. Under federal rules, the passenger is entitled to cash compensation, not just a voucher, and a seat on a later flight. Bumped passengers whose travel is delayed for at least an hour are entitled to up to $1,350 in compensation, with the amount based on the length of the delay and the one-way price of the ticket.
"The vast majority of Americans take one airline trip a year, and since vouchers are usually valid for just one year, most people should ask for cash," said George Hobica, a travel expert who founded the airfarewatchdog.com website. But, he added, frequent fliers might want to negotiate to see how high the airline will go with a voucher.
That's what Preiss did back in March. Thanks to a broken seat, United bumped her from a flight from Dulles Airport outside Washington to Austin, Texas. But Preiss had leverage because United couldn't find anyone willing to give up their seat. She calculated that she was entitled to about $650 in cash based on the price of her ticket, and she turned down a $2,000 voucher. Then a second United employee said she could offer a voucher up to $10,000 plus a seat on a later flight, and Preiss took it.
The second situation occurs when the airline hasn't yet kicked anyone off an overbooked flight but instead looks for people to take a later flight in exchange for compensation - usually a voucher; the airline is not legally required to pay cash to volunteers.
When airlines know a flight is overbooked, they will make lowball offers to customers at ticket counters, kiosks and gate areas. They will raise the amount of the vouchers until they find a taker, pitting passengers against each other in a kind of reverse auction.
"My advice would be to start high," said Brian Kelly, CEO of travel website The Points Guy. "If you're going to be displaced for several hours, don't take the quick and easy $200 (voucher)."
Kelly said a $400 voucher for getting off a domestic flight or $800 for an international one would be "a solid starting point."
Travel experts suspect that airlines prefer vouchers partly because a high percentage of them never get used. The airlines do not disclose redemption rates.
Airlines have gotten very good at buying off passengers on overbooked flights. Last year, about 23,000 passengers were forcibly bumped - the lowest rate since the federal government started keeping track in 1995 - while nearly 342,000 people took an airline's offer and gave up their seat.
You might wonder how airlines ever come up short on seats.
Airlines can legally oversell flights - although some, like JetBlue, say they don't - on the assumption that some people won't show up. Overbooking can also occur when bad weather or a mechanical breakdown causes flights to be canceled, forcing the airline to scramble to accommodate stranded passengers.
Sometimes airlines switch a flight to a smaller plane with fewer seats. Occasionally, they need to make room for an air marshal or employees. And airlines may cancel flights or limit seating on smaller planes in hot weather because the thinner air makes it harder to generate enough lift for takeoff.
If you take a voucher for getting off a flight, there are some rules you should know. For instance, most airlines won't replace lost vouchers, and they can't be sold, although Delta allows them to be transferred to someone flying on the same reservation as the person who got the voucher.
On Southwest, vouchers can only be applied to airfare while American also lets them cover taxes and fees and Delta vouchers can be applied to government taxes. But you can't use vouchers to purchase extra legroom or an in-flight meal.
If your airline looks for volunteers to get off an overcrowded flight, experts offer this advice before accepting a voucher:
- Insist on a confirmed seat, not standby, on the next available flight in addition to the voucher for future travel.
- If you will be stuck for an extended time, ask for meal or hotel vouchers too.
- Ask when the travel voucher expires - typically they are good for one year - and whether it can be combined with other discounts.
- Find out if the voucher can be used on other airlines; American and Delta vouchers can be used on some partner airlines, United and Southwest certificates cannot.
Kelly, the travel-points expert, advises that no matter what, "don't get stressed."
"Look at it as an opportunity for a nice little payday."

Not may of us will ever know the tingle of excitement you get turning left on the plane rather than right.
Behind the First Class curtain it's another world - and one few of us can afford without saving for many, many years.
It's no wonder there's a raft of advice on how to achieve aviation nirvana and get a free upgrade telling us to arrive either really early or really late, sit near a baby, or check-in with a broken limb.
All of these, however, come with massive drawbacks. There is in fact a much simpler and little-known rule which could guarantee an upgrade.
It's to do with your chair.
Rick Brown, author of the book 'Kiss My Baggage Fees! How To Be A Savvy Travel Hacker', knows his stuff, according to the Daily Mirror.
His tip is if your seat is in some way faulty or broken (this includes the seatbelt), then you're allowed to ask for a new one.
He told news.com.au : "If your seat is broken, you can request a new seat.
"If one is not available in economy, they have to put you in first."
Of course, this tip isn't without its flaws.
First, your seat has to have something wrong with it. Secondly, there may be a seat available in economy.
However, The Points Guy has confirmed this is a legitimate rule.
He told Life Hacker : "I've been on several packed flights where passengers had broken coach seats and were reassigned to business or first since they were the only seats left.
"This is luck of the draw, though."

Question: Big Release of Electromagnetic Simulation Software

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

Altair Engineering has released the 2018 versions of its electromagnetic force (EM) simulation software FEKO, WinProp, Flux and FluxMotor. Widely deployed in the design process in such industries as aerospace, automotive, defense, communications, consumer electronics, energy and healthcare, these EM solver tools are part of Altair’s HyperWorks comprehensive open-architecture simulation suite. The set of features in the 2018 release of these HyperWorks EM simulation solutions, Altair says, broadens functionality, simplifies workflows and enhances the user experience.
FEKO, a comprehensive computational EM solution, provides several frequency and time domain EM solvers. Hybridization of these methods, the company explains, enables the efficient analysis of a broad spectrum of EM problems, including antennas, microstrip circuits, RF (radio frequency) components and biomedical systems.
The company reports that FEKO 2018 implements a novel workflow that facilitates characterizing multilayered dielectrics. Altair explains that this functionality enables users to compute transmission loss and bore-sight error for arbitrarily shaped radomes more efficiently and with greater flexibility. Additionally, version 2018 introduces various improvements for cable modeling, including the ability to define a reference direction for a cable path and a new cable cross-section mesh library.
Beginning with FEKO 2018 the WinProp wave propagation modeling toolset is included with the FEKO HyperWorks installation. A new “FEKO + WinProp” launcher utility reduces the number of Windows icons onscreen and contains options to launch the various FEKO and WinProp components. Other new features include characterized surfaces for the ray-launching geometrical optics (RL-GO) solver, which is said to “greatly” speed up RL-GO analysis of complex multilayer structures.
Altair says that the 2018 edition of its Flux electromagnetic and thermal simulation software brings new capabilities for CAD geometry simplification and meshing that improve workflows and solve faster in 3D using new HPC (high-performance computing) resources. Improvements introduced in Flux 2018 offer a tight focus on large 3D models with eddy currents. New mathematical formulations are said to help the nonlinear convergence in such cases, particularly in the frequency domain.
Additionally, the Flux linear solver has been updated with the latest version of MUMPS (MUltifrontal Massively Parallel sparse direct Solver). This, according to the company, offers the possibility to use it in a distributed memory mode, allowing Flux to run on clusters with larger numbers of cores, which should bring “great accelerations for 3D models with large meshes.”
“We are excited by the latest release of our electromagnetic tools to support our customers as they move toward broad deployment of products relevant to e-mobility and communications, Industry 4.0 and the internet of things,” says Ulrich Jakobus, senior VP for EM Solutions at Altair in the release announcement. “The range of applications covers electromagnetic problems across the whole frequency range from DC into THz [terahertz], integrated within Altair’s multiphysics modeling environment for multidisciplinary system optimization.”

Question: Netflix set to raise prices for UK users

represent this text to find a news title for it

Have your say
FOR the first time in two years, online streaming giant Netflix has raised its monthly fee.
The cost of a basic will remain at £5.99, however, standard and premium membership prices are set to rise.
Standard membership will jump from £7.49 to £7.99 a month, and Premium membership set to rise from £8.99 to £9.99 for users.
New subscribers to Netflix will immediately pay the new rates whereas existing customers will see price increases from 19 October and be given 30 days notice of the change
The online streaming service, which currently has 104 million subscribers globally, will also be raising rates for the US, France and Germany this year.
Netflix have released a statement regarding the price hikes:
‘From time to time, Netflix plans and pricing are adjusted as we add more exclusive TV shows and movies, introduce new product features and improve the overall Netflix experience to help members find something great to watch even faster.’
Netflix is set to provide more original content in 2018 and already has a budget of $6 billion for new productions.
The new money generated from the subscription price rises is expected to contribute towards the production of new original content.

Netflix has released it’s financial results for the first quarter of 2017 and moving show releases has hit the service slightly.
For those that aren’t aware, House of Cards season 5 was moved from a Q1 to a Q2 release date. This move resulted in operating margins for the first quarter being higher than expected.
“We had higher operating margins in Q1 (as forecasted) at 9.7% than our plan for the year (about 7%),” Netflix said in a letter to investors.
Despite this wobble, the firm forecasts that operating margins for Q2 should come in at 4.4%, putting Netflix on track to reach its target 7% operating margin for 2017.
Advert
In addition to this, Netflix reports that its top-tier streaming package is becoming more popular. The offering allows users to stream content across four screens consecutively and is the only package that offers up streaming in UHD quality.
At $12 (~R159) a month its also Netflix’s most expensive package and it becoming more popular means that revenue growth isn’t as reliant on membership growth.
Sports? Nope
Earlier this month Amazon announced that it would begin streaming football to Amazon Prime members, Netflix subscribers hoping for the same shouldn’t hold their breath.
“Investors ask us about Amazon’s move into NFL football. That is not a strategy that we think is smart for us since we believe we can earn more viewing and satisfaction from spending that money on movies and TV shows,” says Netflix.
Looking at the firm’s trophy cabinet it’s hard to argue. House of Cards, Making a Murderer, Stranger Things and countless others have been nominated and won various awards but surely offering up sport may tempt users to ditch their set-top boxes and sign up for Netflix?
And that leads us nicely to our question to you. Would you sign-up for Netflix if it offered live sport? Sling your comments in the space below or let us know over on Twitter.

Arsenal are in the midst of a squad overhaul which has led to Bernd Leno, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Sokratis Papastathopoulos signing on the dotted line.
Another raft of new recruits are likely to come through the door too as Sven Mislintat and Raul Sanllehi throw their weight around in the transfer market.
Freiburg’s Caglar Soyuncu and Juventus’ Medhi Benatia have been linked with moves to Arsenal to partner Papastathopoulos in the heart of defence.
Papastathopoulos’ Greece team-mate Manolas has refused to rule out joining up with him in the future though, potentially putting him on the Gunners’ radar.

Arsenal transfer news: The Gunners lead Chelsea in the race to sign Barcelona ace Andre Gomes
The Gunners are keen to spend this summer, with Unai Emery said to have a £70m transfer war chest.
Arsenal have already signed Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Bernd Leno.
And according to the bookies, Barcelona ace Gomes could be Emery’s next summer signing.
BetStars spokesman Ian Marmion said: “Andre Gomes could be set for a transfer to the Premier League, with Arsenal the clear 6/4 favourites to sign the 24-year-old.
“Gomes has struggled to fit in at Barcelona since joining from Valencia in 2016, and it now appears a move to the Gunners could be on the cards for the Portuguese midfielder.

Question: NY governor 'ashamed' at failure of US to help Puerto Rico

Represent this text to find a news title for it

NEW YORK (AP) — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says he's "ashamed" that this country failed to help Puerto Rico recover faster from last year's hurricane.
The Democrat made the remarks Saturday during a rally in the Bronx with Puerto Rico's Gov. Ricardo Rossello.
The New York governor wants more government money to be allocated to fund the island's recovery. Cuomo says Trump administration officials showed what he called "disrespect" toward the people of Puerto Rico for not helping out more after Hurricane Maria, which left much of the island without electricity.
Politicians at Saturday's rally included U.S. Rep. Jose Serrano, who noted that Puerto Ricans didn't need Trump to toss paper towels at people in need last October at a hurricane relief center in the capital of San Juan.
About a third of Puerto Rico remains without power.

Question: Cyber security company chief Dr Tony Castagna facing criminal charges

Anthony Castagna's company helps protect the cyber secrets and detect financial crimes within the world's most powerful institutions, including the Serious Fraud Office in Britain, US Homeland Security, the Australian defence force, ASIC, even the Office of the President of the US.
Now the Sydney-based co-founder and chairman of Nuix, majority owned by Macquarie Bank, faces a potential 20-year jail term after being charged with tax evasion and dealing with the proceeds of crime.

Dr Castagna, 70, has been the target of two of Nuix's major clients: the Australian Federal police and the Australian Tax Office through Project Wickenby, their long-running tax probe.
The charges relate to payments from Macquarie Bank which were allegedly channelled into offshore companies controlled by his cousin Robert Agius, who was sentenced to a non-parole period of 6 years and 8 months' jail in 2012 for operating unrelated tax avoidance schemes via his Vanuatu-based accountancy firm.
In addition to Dr Castagna's criminal charges, the ATO is pursuing him for unpaid taxes and penalties in excess of $10 million.
For decades, the tech guru has been a rainmaker for Macquarie Bank. The bank has ploughed millions of dollars into his cyber security and forensic services company Nuix. A totally owned Macquarie Group subsidiary owns more than 70 per cent of Nuix and over the last year Macquarie advisors have been talking up a billion-dollar float of Nuix on the Australian stock exchange.

Nuix insiders expressed concern that Dr Castagna's decision not to stand aside pending the outcome of his criminal proceedings could damage the company.
"With the sort of customers we have – intelligence agencies, police, government and taxation organisations – how could you have a chairman facing those charges?" said one insider.
However, the Nuix board is standing by their chief. "The charges against our chairman, Dr Tony Castagna, are totally unrelated to the company and date back to matters which occurred about 18 years ago, well before Nuix existed," said the company in a statement.
"The board is aware of the impending proceedings and continues to fully support Dr Castagna, who has not been convicted of any offence and remains entitled to the presumption of innocence."
The board also maintained that the charges "have had no bearing" on the company's operations.
On the May 21, 2008, the AFP executed search warrants at Dr Castagna's home in Gordon, on Sydney's north shore, as well as at his Macquarie Bank office.
At the same time the AFP, in conjunction with Vanuatu police, raided the Port Vila home and office of then Vanuatu-based accountant Agius.
According to documents tendered in the Federal Court, for many years Dr Castagna, who has a PhD in finance from the University of NSW, has been on the payroll of Macquarie Bank.
An expert in technology start-ups, Dr Castagna was a director of Macquarie Technology Ventures from 1997 until 2013.
It is these payments by Macquarie Bank which form the basis of his criminal charges. Prior to 1998, when he returned to Australia, Dr Castagna was based in Silicon Valley in the US. Up until 2008 Macquarie Bank paid consultancy fees to Billbury Ltd, a UK company associated with his cousin Agius. Billbury in turn paid Dr Castagna.
Dr Castagna, who denies any wrongdoing and is vigorously defending the charges, claims in documents filed with the Federal Court that in 1997, when he was living in the United States, Macquarie Bank rejected his proposal that he be employed by the bank.
Instead Macquarie Bank, and later Macquarie Equities (USA), "reached an agreement with Billbury Ltd for the provisions of services," claims Dr Castagna in court documents.
Dr Castagna maintains that he then reached an agreement with Billbury to be paid a fixed monthly amount, which Dr Castagna says he declared as assessable income.
The rest of the money from Macquarie Bank was paid by Billbury into Dr Castagna's superannuation fund.
The tax years in dispute are from 1999 to 2008. The ATO claims Dr Castagna owes $5,677,329 with further penalties of $4,899,748.
Two senior Macquarie associates David Standen and Daniel Phillips are directors of Nuix, alongside former US ambassador to Australia Jeffrey Bleich. There is no wrongdoing alleged against these men or any of Nuix's other directors.
Nuix started in the year 2000, when a group of computer scientists began working on a processing engine for unstructured data, the New Universal Intelligence eXchange. Dr Castagna set up the corporate entity Nuix in late 2005 with the ultimate holding company being a NZ company, Ferodale Ltd. Corporate records show Ferodale's two directors were Dr Castagna and the now-disgraced NZ businessman Anthony Walpole Bowden.
In June 2012, only a month before Robert Agius was jailed here in Australia, over in New Zealand Bowden was struck off as an accountant and sentenced to nine months home detention after pleading guilty to charges relating to the $50 million collapse of NZ company Five Star.
A year after establishing Nuix, Dr Castagna stepped down from its parent company Ferodale and was replaced by his cousin Agius.
Ferodale has since been renamed Blackall Ltd and its current directors are Robert Agius's son Daniel and Dubbo resident Roy Grady, 70. Mr Grady is also a current director of Nuix.
Blackall's shareholding in Nuix is worth an estimated $26 million.
On paper Dr Castagna does not appear to have shares in Nuix, nor does he appear to be connected to the Ferodale/Blackall company.
But the company names appear to be derived from his holiday home at Ferodale near Port Stephens and an investment property in Blackall Street, Hamilton, a suburb of Newcastle. Both of these properties have been frozen under the Proceeds of Crime Act. Dr Castagna and Agius have also been charged over $4.5 million which Agius allegedly lent to Dr Castagna. The police are alleging that these loans were a sham and were established to return money back to Dr Castagna in Australia, and thereby avoiding tax.
Just before his arrest in Perth in April 2008, Agius lent $3.6 million to his cousin by way of mortgages over a number of properties in Dr Castagna's extensive holdings.
The AFP is alleging that these loans form the proceeds of crime and as such they have frozen Dr Castagna's sizeable property portfolio.
Among the assets frozen are the Castagna family mansion in St Johns Avenue, Gordon, which Dr Castagna purchased back in 1999 for $1.3 million.
He has also been restrained from dealing with a property in Carwarra Street, Gordon, as well as a string of townhouses and an industrial property in Newcastle. His holiday home at Ferodale, near Port Stephens, is also the subject of proceeds of crime order.
Dr Castagna has sought a delay on the ATO's pursuit of back taxes and penalties until his criminal trial for tax evasion and dealing with the proceeds of crime is heard.
The trial of Dr Castagna and his cousin Robert Agius is due to be held in 2018.
Macquarie Bank, which is not accused of any wrongdoing, declined to comment on Nuix.
What is Nuix?
Nuix – the New Universal Intelligence Exchange – provides cyber security and forensic investigation services to law enforcement, defence, intelligence and security agencies around the world.
It is majority-owned by Macquarie Bank, via a totally owned subsidiary, and two senior Macquarie personnel David Standen and Daniel Phillips sit on the board.
Earlier this year, Jeffrey Bleich, the former US ambassador to Australia and onetime Special Counsel to President Barack Obama, was appointed to the Nuix board.
Keith Lowry, Nuix's senior vice-president in the US served as Chief of Staff to the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Human Intelligence, Counterintelligence and Security at the Pentagon.
In 2009 Nuix chalked up the first of many impressive contracts when the US Security Exchange Commission used its software for digital investigation and analysis.
Last year, Nuix provided the investigative technology essential for 150 journalists across the globe to mine and analyse the world's largest data leak – 11.5 million documents which became known as the Panama Papers.
Nuix's technology enabled the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists to sift through the millions of documents from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca.
Nuix has 1500 customers in at least 60 countries. Its clients include Interpol, the US Secret Service, United Nations, the US Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Japanese Securities and Exchange Commission, ASIC, Australian Customs, the Australian Federal Police, the Australian Taxation Office, Australian Defence Force, the United States Department of Homeland Security, the Serious Fraud Office in the UK and the Office of the President of the United States.
The company's clients also include many of the world's leading advisory firms, financial institutions and leading pharma and technology companies.

Question: NASA to make major announcement Thursday, will reveal new Kepler discovery

NASA has announced it will make an announcement surrounding a new discovery from its Kepler mission, a space telescope used to find exoplanets.
The announcement, set for 1 p.m. EST on Dec. 14, will showcase a new discovery using machine learning techniques from Google. "Machine learning is an approach to artificial intelligence, and demonstrates new ways of analyzing Kepler data," NASA said in the press release.
SUPER EARTH IS DISCOVERED AND IT HAS PERFECT CONDITIONS FOR ALIENS
Experts taking part in the briefing include:
Paul Hertz, astrophysics division director at NASA Headquarters in Washington
Christopher Shallue, senior software engineer at Google AI in Mountain View, California
Andrew Vanderburg, astronomer and NASA Sagan postdoctoral fellow at The University of Texas, Austin and Jessie Dotson, Kepler project scientist at NASA's Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley
The press conference will also be streamed lived on NASA's website.
Kepler launched in March 2009 at a time when scientists and NASA researchers did not know how common planets were beyond our solar system. Since the original mission was completed in 2012, Kepler confirmed 2,337 exoplanets and 4,496 potential candidates.
In 2014, Kepler started on a new mission, known as K2, to look for exoplanets and introduce "new research opportunities to study young stars, supernovae and other cosmic phenomena."
SCORCHING-HOT ALIEN PLANET MAY HAVE EARTH-LIKE ATMOSPHERE
In 2015, the Kepler mission discovered Kepler-452b, the first Earth-sized planet in the “habitable zone” around a sun-like star.

Question: Love Simon thought-provoking, fun to watch

Love, Simon is an appealing story about teenagers who are not being crushed by the usual adolescent inner turbulence. Their home lives seem OK and their schoolwork is satisfactory.
Simon (Nick Robinson) is a teenager, a high school senior, in an Atlanta community. He is a successful student with a group of close friends. Simon enjoys a loving couple as his parents and a younger sister whom he loves — but he won’t tell her that.
The family is well-heeled financially, evidenced by the fact that Simon is given a new car for his birthday. Simon’s close friends are Leah (Katherine Langford), Abby (Alexandra Shipp), and Nick (Jorge Lendeborg Jr.).
Nick and Abby are on the edge of becoming a couple, and Simon and Leah seem that way.
Leah is crazy about Simon, but he seems to be reluctant to romance her. We learn, from Simon in some voice-over talk, that he is gay. He hasn’t revealed that to anyone — not his friends, teachers, parents — nobody. He knows he must out himself, but he isn’t sure what will be the best time for that.
Simon receives an e-mail from an unknown person who is a gay teen, using the name, ‘Blue.’ Simon responds with the name ‘Jacques.’ They never reveal their true identities and they develop a strong loving relationship over time (kind of like Sleepless in Seattle).
One of the schoolmates, obnoxious and unpopular Martin (Logan Miller), intercepts some of Simon’s e-mails with Blue. So, he knows and he threatens to expose Simon unless Simon will help him make a play for Abby.
Eventually, everybody learns of Simon’s secret. He is shunned by his friends for a time until they realize that he is still the Simon they know and love. There are some sticky moments to overcome, but Love, Simon has a satisfying conclusion.
All the teen performers are very good in Love, Simon, and what a wonderful world it would be if all teens displayed kindliness and maturity as this group does.
As it turns out, we see that Simon’s life is difficult because of his reluctance to reveal his secret. Once he is out, he and the others learn where a person’s true value comes from.
The film is also well paced with humor and some pathos. Love, Simon keeps us interested in the subject of gay relationship because we care about Simon. Jennifer Garner and Josh Duhamel play Simon’s parents.
Unlike his Mom, Dad takes a bit of time to accept Simon’s revelation.
Tony Hale plays the school’s assistant principal and he is morbidly funny as he continually belittles the kids. This is a film that is fun to watch and more than a little thought provoking.
Love, Simon is at Harkins Sedona 6 Theater.

The song now comes with a wacky new video-in-a-video that finds Antonoff in a When Harry Met Sally rom-com-styled clip, with an emphasis on the comedy.
The video finds Antonoff hopelessly attempting to film the movie's ending and climatic kiss between Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan, only to be thwarted at every turn, and painfully so.
The creative clip is an ideal visual for the peppy new track from Love, Simon, the current box office hit about a teen coming to terms with his sexuality. Watch the video here.

If Michael Flynn, President Trump's former national security adviser, was trying to reassure the Russian ambassador about sanctions leveled by the Obama administration, then he may have broken the law.
That law is the Logan Act. It's gotten a lot of attention recently and is at the center of the scandal surrounding Flynn, who resigned Monday night after multiple reports were published noting that Flynn misled the vice president and others in the administration. Flynn categorically denied to Mike Pence, then vice president-elect, last month that he had discussed the sanctions.
That has turned out to be not true. And Pence unwittingly repeated the falsehood on Sunday shows. White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Tuesday that Trump asked for Flynn's resignation because of an "eroding level of trust." He reiterated that it was not a "legal issue, but a trust issue."
"There was nothing wrong or inappropriate about those discussions," Spicer contended.
But without the release of the transcript of the phone call — which exists — between Flynn and the Russian ambassador, there's no way to know if there isn't a legal issue.
So what is the Logan Act, has it ever been prosecuted and could Flynn be susceptible?
First, what is it?
The Logan Act states, in part:
"Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both."
Let's break that down. This is saying that no private person can try to conduct foreign policy without the permission of the U.S. government. Specifically, that person isn't allowed to talk with a foreign government or its representative and try to influence foreign policy.
When was it put in place and why?
It's named for Dr. George Logan, a Republican lawmaker from Pennsylvania, who traveled to France in 1798 and negotiated a lifting of an embargo and the release of American sailors held captive in French prisons. He did so without the permission of President Adams, though, he was a friend of then-Vice President Thomas Jefferson.
It was after the French Revolution, and the United States didn't helped France because of a treaty with England. The French were upset and began robbing passing American ships and jailing its sailors. Official Adams administration envoys tried unsuccessfully to settle the unrest with France — and the country appeared tumbling toward war with France.
That's when Logan, a Quaker, embarked on his effort. He succeeded, but when he got back to the U.S., Adams, Washington and others were furious. Congress then acted to bar actions like Logan's from taking place again.
Has anyone ever been prosecuted?
No, but plenty of people have been mentioned in relation to it and at least one was indicted.
The indictment was way back in 1803, four years after the law was put in place. An anonymous column ran in a Kentucky newspaper arguing for "A Western America" allied with France. The U.S. Attorney for Kentucky was an Adams ally and got a grand jury to indict Francis Flournoy, a farmer, who actually wrote the column. But it never went to trial. Later that year, the Louisiana Purchase, which expanded the U.S. west, made it moot.
Various courts have mentioned the Logan Act, as the Congressional Research Service points out, but it has mostly been used as a weapon to try and shame political opponents. For example, in the 1980s, there was former House Speaker Jim Wright's relationship with the Sandinista government in Nicaragua and Jesse Jackson negotiating in Syria and Cuba for prisoner releases.
"That is the law of the land," a frustrated President Ronald Reagan said in an interview in 1984 of the Logan Act and Jackson's efforts, adding, "We are not going to take legal action, but I do feel that while in this instance he was successful, there were things that make you pause and think."
During the Bush administration, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi took a trip to Syria and talked about improving U.S.-Syria relations with that government, irritating the Bush administration. Former President Jimmy Carter also traveled to Syria in 2008 to meet with Hamas about Mid-East peace. As recently as 2015, the act was mentioned again when 47 Republican U.S. senators wrote a letter to Iran downplaying the nuclear deal.
And Syria again raised the potential of a Logan Act violation when Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii met with Syrian leader Bashar Assad last month before President Trump took office.
"I wanted to see if there was, in some small way, a way that I could express the love and the Aloha and the care that the American people have for the people of Syria," she told CNN.
The Obama administration's official position was regime change in Syria.
Could Flynn be susceptible?
Had Flynn, in any way, reassured the Russian ambassador in his phone conversations or texts that the incoming Trump administration would loosen or drop the sanctions Obama put in place, that could potentially be a violation
As noted above, there is a transcript. The White House is confident Flynn didn't say anything that could have violated the law. Of course, that could be open to interpretation. It would be up to the Jeff Sessions' Justice Department to review the transcript and bring a case, if it saw fit. That is seen as unlikely.
But there are other ways in which Flynn could be at risk.
Republicans on the Senate Intelligence Tuesday said it's possible that Flynn will be called to testify under oath. More could become known about the specifics of the call before then. And the New York Times reports Tuesday evening that the FBI questioned Flynn in the early days of the Trump presidency about his conversations. And investigators believe Flynn "was not entirely forthcoming":
"That raises the stakes of what so far has been a political scandal that cost Mr. Flynn his job. If the authorities conclude that Mr. Flynn knowingly lied to the F.B.I., it could expose him to a felony charge."

Question: Kyle Lowry scores 41 as Raptors hold off Lakers, 123-114

LOS ANGELES — Kyle Lowry relishes any chance to raise his offensive game in the fourth quarter. The Toronto Raptors needed just about every one of his big baskets to hold off the Los Angeles Lakers.
Lowry scored 20 of his season-high 41 points in the fourth, and the Raptors stopped a two-game skid with a 123-114 victory Sunday night.
He went 5 for 6 and hit three of his six 3-pointers in the fourth quarter. With one high-difficulty shot after another, the diminutive guard kept the Raptors on top in the face of the Lakers' persistent rally.
"It was my time to go out there and be more aggressive," said Lowry, who finished two points shy of his career high. "If it's taking the extra shot or making more shots or creating more shots, it's just a chance to go out there and play basketball. Playing in the fourth quarter is really fun."
Lowry also had nine rebounds and seven assists, while DeMar DeRozan scored 31 points in another big game in his hometown. The Atlantic Division-leading Raptors' two scoring stars got them back in winning form on the fifth stop of their six-game road trip.
"He could have had more," DeRozan said of Lowry's fourth-quarter dominance. "The fourth quarter has got to be ours on both ends. We've got to put our mark on it."
Toronto got its fourth straight win over the Lakers, sweeping the season series for the second straight year.
Nick Young hit seven 3-pointers and scored 26 points for the Lakers, who emerged from a miserable December with their 15th loss in 17 games despite a stirring late surge.
"That's a good team," Lakers coach Luke Walton said of the Raptors. "They have some All-Star Olympians that really carried the load for them. (Lowry) had it cooking."
D'Angelo Russell hit four of his six 3-pointers and scored 14 of his 28 points in the final period. The Lakers trimmed a 19-point deficit to six, but Lowry and Terrence Ross hit big shots down the stretch to keep Toronto comfortably ahead.
"I think the effort is there," Young said. "We're showing it. We have to limit the six-minute breakdowns we go through."
FIGHT ON
DeRozan and Young are both Los Angeles natives who played at Southern California. They dueled for long stretches on the eve of the Trojans' return to the Rose Bowl to face Penn State. DeRozan only spent one year at USC before going pro, while Young played three years for the Trojans, leaving in 2007 — one year before DeRozan arrived.
DOWN THE STRETCH
The Raptors blew it open by hitting their first eight shots of the final period, turning a two-point lead into a 19-point margin in six minutes. Los Angeles rallied behind Russell, whose fifth 3-pointer trimmed the lead to 112-106 with 3:10 left. Los Angeles never got closer as Lowry scored on the next two possessions.
SWAGGY 3
Young's latest burst from long range gave him 36 3-pointers in the last eight games — the most in an eight-game stretch in Lakers franchise history, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
STILL SLUMPING
Los Angeles took its third straight home loss since a Christmas victory over the Clippers. The Lakers showed signs of their early-season selves after that miserable December, but weren't rewarded with a win. Los Angeles struggled under the weight of injuries and a packed schedule last month after a 10-10 start to their first season following the worst three years in franchise history.
TIP-INS
Raptors: Patrick Patterson didn't play. He strained his left knee at Phoenix on Thursday. ... Jonas Valanciunas had 14 points and 10 rebounds.
Lakers: Former Toronto G Jose Calderon is in uniform, but still struggling with a strained hamstring. He didn't play for the 15th straight game. ... Former Raptors G Lou Williams also struggled, going 3 of 11 for eight points.
UP NEXT
Raptors: Finish road trip at San Antonio on Tuesday.

G Kentavious Caldwell-Pope made the shots when he needed to on Sunday night, including a 3-pointer with 13.2 seconds left in the game in the 102-101 win over the Toronto Raptors.

Question: IRCTC promoting Hindi via its ticket booking website: Tamil Nadu rail users assn

An association of railway users has alleged that the new IRCTC website was imposing Hindi on non-Hindi speaking population of Tamil Nadu, accusing the catering and tourism arm of Indian Railways of promoting Hindi through its ticket booking portal.
In a letter addressed to IRCTC as well as to the Railway Minister's office, the Kanyakumari District Railway Users' Association (KKDRUA) has alleged that the IRCTC's new website www.irctc.co.in for Indian railway ticket reservation is available in only two versions - Hindi and English and no other regional languages.
"We found a lot of Hindi imposition in your IRCTC English version web site service. If we type travel source and destination it is coming Hindi first then English. Already full Hindi version website is available. Why impose Hindi script in English version website?
"The Hindi speaking people will book the ticket from Hindi version website," the organisation president P Edward Jeni wrote in his letter.
Jeni further said the Official Language Act, 1976 was not applicable to Tamil Nadu and the people of the state neither read, write or speak Hindi.
"May I request you to ensure that Hindi is not imposed on non-Hindi speaking Indians. You have got facility from the Ministry of Railways only for ticket reservation purpose. Your job is not to promote the Hindi language.
"Give respect to native people by including their native language in your products. Imposing Hindi is against linguistic equality and consumer rights. We hope you will respect our sentiments and stop imposing Hindi on non-Hindi natives," Jeni said, demanding that all Hindi texts in the English version of IRCTC website be removed and create Tamil version of IRCTC website for the benefit of the eight crore people of Tamil Nadu.
KKDRUA has earlier pushed successfully for issuing of unreserved tickets in Tamil language just a couple of months ago.

Question: Egypt, Israel are secretly fighting against ISIS together

Represent the article to find a fitting news title.

Israeli and Egyptian forces are secret allies in a battle with ISIS, according to a startling new report.
The New York Times said Saturday that unmarked Israeli drones, helicopters and planes conducted more than 100 strikes against the jihadis in Egypt’s northern Sinai over a period of more than two years.
The clandestine missions, the report says, have the blessing of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who realized he desperately needed help.
American officials, the newspaper said, believe the collaboration helped the Egyptian military gain the upper hand in its nearly five-year battle with the militants.
The need for secrecy is so great that the only Egyptians who know about the de facto alliance are a small number of military and intelligence officers.
Some of the aircraft fly circuitous routes to their targets so they don’t appear to come from Israel, the Times said.

Back when it was cool to be a part of the gang that was going to oust Assad from power in Syria, Turkey’s Erdogan thought it might be advantageous to get in on the action, helping to destabilize Syria. Then the Syria thing turned into a real quagmire and the Americans started backing the Kurds while the Russians were backing Assad, putting the Turks in a bit of a tight spot.
The Turks can’t abide the Kurds, and they can’t afford to get on Moscow’s bad side. Then, of course, there’s the whole Iran and Israel thing going on. But we can’t forget America in all of this, they’ve got this bright idea to create an ‘Arab Coalition’ to act as yet another centrifugal force to help carry out their agenda, and that ‘Coalition’ envisions bringing in the Saudis.
While the Saudis have their own conflict going on with the Houthis in Yemen, that doesn’t mean that they can’t back their dog in all of this, after all, the Americans are practically begging them to. According to a recent report, issued by the Turkish media outlet Andalou Agency, the Saudis are getting together with the Kurdish YPG to form a new militant group in the region:
BEIRUT, LEBANON (1:50 A.M.) – Officials from the Saudi regime met with members of the predominately Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) in northeastern Syria recently, Turkish state-owned Anadolu Agency reported on Tuesday. According to the Anadolu report, three Saudi military consultants met with the YPG in the northeast Aleppo city of Kobani (var. ‘Ayn Al-‘Arab) last Friday. The YPG and Saudi officials discussed forming a new force in Syria that would be funded by the Gulf kingdom. The Anadolu report added that the Saudi officials setup communication checkpoints between Hasakah city and Al-Qamishli in order to recruit new fighters. These fighters are promised $200 if they join this new Arab force that is sponsored by Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has not issued any response to this latest allegation.
Erdogan is probably wishes he’d just stayed out of the whole mess by now, since the Saudis are not known for letting go of something once they’ve sunk their teeth in, and the Kurds are proving to be quite the thorn in his side, with backing from his NATO ally, the USA. Essentially, it looks like this situation has the potential to carry on indefinitely, after a fashion, so that this could be to the Turks what Iraq was for the Americans.

Question: The early buzz on NFL coaching carousel with six jobs open

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

The traditional Black Monday for NFL head coaches became Bloody Sunday with the firings of Chip Kelly and GM Trent Baalke in San Francisco, Mike McCoy in San Diego, and the resignation of Gary Kubiak for health reasons in Denver.
Those axings followed pre-Week 17 ousters by the Jaguars (Gus Bradley), Rams (Jeff Fisher) and Bills (Rex Ryan).
Baalke’s success as a GM with the 49ers, it’s now clear, was dependent on how Jim Harbaugh molded and improved the players Baalke gave him. Baalke won a power struggle with Harbaugh, who headed to Michigan. The Niners became historically bad without him, and Baalke’s choice of Kelly to work with such a weak roster looks worse than hiring caretaker Jim Tomsula after Harbaugh left. At least Tomsula went 5-11, three more victories than Kelly managed.
“Despite my feelings for Trent and Chip, I felt the decision to change our football leadership was absolutely necessary,” 49ers CEO Jed York said in a statement. “The performance of this team has not lived up to my expectations or those of our fans, and that is truly disappointing. We all expected to see this team progress and develop as the season went on, but unfortunately that did not happen. That is why now is the time to find a new direction for this team.”
Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who flopped in his previous head coaching try with the Broncos, will be interviewed for several of the open jobs during his team’s playoff bye week.
The new direction for the Chargers looks like it will be north, as a tenant of the Rams in the new Inglewood, Calif., palace that will open in a few years. McCoy’s team lost its last five games and finished in last place for two straight seasons in the tough AFC West. Injuries tore it apart, too, but apparently Chargers chairman Dean Spanos wants a totally fresh start when the club abandons its longtime home.
Which means both of the new teams in Los Angeles will be riding the coaching carousel. The Rams are looking at interim Jaguars coach Doug Marrone and a number of coordinators including Matt Patricia, McDaniels’ defensive counterpart with the Patriots.
The saddest news comes from Denver. Never was there a question about Gary Kubiak returning after leading the Broncos to their Super Bowl win last February. But Kubiak’s health issues forced him to step aside, disappointing fans, players and John Elway alike.
“As I told our team last night, this is an extremely difficult decision to step down as head coach,” Kubiak said in a statement released Monday morning. “I love to work and I love football, but ultimately the demands of the job are no longer a good fit for me. I gave everything I had to this team the last two seasons, but this year, in particular, has been tough on me.”
Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib said: “We love Kube, we love how he treated us. We pray he gets healthy.”
Denver won’t have any trouble filling Kubiak’s spot. One of the hot candidates, for example, is Atlanta offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, son of Mike Shanahan, who coached Elway to two Super Bowl championships. Such a hire makes a lot of sense.
Shanahan has an interview scheduled with the Jaguars, The MMQB reported.
More moves could be coming, too. Is Chuck Pagano safe in Indianapolis? Might the Saints do something with Sean Payton? What about Bears coach John Fox?
With AP

Posted by Josh Alper on January 2, 2017, 3:04 PM EST
The Chargers fired a head coach with an offensive background on Sunday when they dismissed Mike McCoy.
The first name to pop up in their search for McCoy’s replacement does his work on the other side of the ball. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that San Diego has requested permission to interview Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia.
Patricia can speak to the Chargers and other teams over the weekend because the Patriots have the week off thanks to their top seeding in the AFC. Patricia’s defense had a lot to do with getting them to that point and they finished the year with the fewest points allowed of any team in the league.
Patricia’s name has also come up in relation to the Rams’ head coaching vacancy as well. The Chargers are set to make their intentions regarding a move to L.A. clear in the next couple of weeks and Patricia may not be the only coach to catch the attention of both teams ahead of a potential co-habitation in the City of Angels.

Question: What happens to 'Roseanne' now? Racist tweet likely bars a revival

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

CLOSE ABC pulls the plug on 'Roseanne' after racist tweet Josmar Taveras, USA TODAY

ABC Tuesday saw its most valuable entertainment property, Roseanne, burn to the ground, courtesy of star and Twitter arsonist Roseanne Barr.
Two immediate questions dominate after the network's swift cancellation of the hit revival, just hours after the actress-comedian's racist tweet: Is there any way Roseanne, already resurrected once after its 1997 finale, can come back from the dead again? And, how does ABC reconstruct a fall schedule built around the top-rated comedy?
For the series, it's likely toe-tag time. Although Roseanne's large audience and accompanying ad dollars seem appetizing, it's difficult to envision a scenario in which the comedy is exhumed by another network or streaming service because of expected PR blowback.
Creatively, it would be almost impossible to separate the show from its namesake star, even if it killed off its central character. Barr's singular comedic style is the show's voice and was the main reason it became a hit when it premiered in the late '80s. It's not Roseanne without Roseanne and viewers might not be as interested.
Barr can't just be cut loose, either, since she's a creator and executive producer who would continue to have approval rights and profits from the show. Any network that picked it up could therefore be accused of condoning — or at least excusing — her behavior.
Besides, Roseanne's tweet erodes the value of the series. It would likely lose both a sizable portion of its huge audience (23 million viewers for its nine-episode spring season) and advertisers, who typically avoid any whiff of controversy.

Fox, despite surface appearances, seems an unlikely home, though the network is reviving Last Man Standing, canceled last year by ABC, which stars Tim Allen, the outspoken, politically conservative actor. (Unlike Roseanne, produced by the independent Carsey-Werner studio, Fox owns Last Man, so it has a financial stake in extending the sitcom.)

As for streaming services, Hulu Tuesday yanked its Roseanne reruns, indicating a level of toxicity likely to deter others.

Even if a network picked up Roseanne, what would it be getting?
Barr has lost support within the show, leaving any reconstruction project likely to be shorthanded. Executive producer Tom Werner spoke out in support of ABC's decision, and said Barr should seek "the help she so clearly needs." Comedian Wanda Sykes, a consulting producer, quit the series just before ABC canceled it and co-stars Sara Gilbert, an executive producer, and Emma Kenney distanced themselves after Barr's tweet.
As I called my manager to quit working on Roseanne, I was told it was cancelled. I feel so empowered by @iamwandasykes , Channing Dungey and anyone at ABC standing up for morals and abuse of power. Bullies will NEVER win. — Emma Kenney (@EmmaRoseKenney) May 29, 2018
More: ABC's fall schedule: Four new series, a kid version of 'DWTS' and Alec Baldwin
There will be no more family dinners for the Conners after ABC Tuesday canceled 'Roseanne.' (Photo: Adam Rose, ABC)
While Roseanne's future is entirely theoretical, ABC must contend with an immediate, real-world loss.
The network, which announced its 2018-19 schedule only two weeks ago, is expected to quickly reset a lineup built around the top-rated comedy hit, though nothing in its arsenal will come close to making up for the loss. Returning Black-ish and Splitting Up Together and two new shows, The Kids Are Alright and The Rookie, will suffer from the loss of Roseanne's ratings boost.
The broadcast networks are now beginning the "upfront" ad-sales market, when the bulk of inventory for the coming season is sold. ABC didn't make as much as might be expected from the first season of Roseanne, because there was no expectation it would turn into a giant hit, but the network will feel a significant loss of advertising dollars by not moving forward with a second season.
ABC will take a hit, but survive; Roseanne, it appears, won't.

It's been exactly one day since ABC announced they were canceling Roseanne, effective immediately. All trace of the revived sitcom was wiped from schedules, Hulu (where folks could watch the latest episodes) and so forth. But while Roseanne Barr rightfully got a serious amount of criticism for her actions, fans — notably Jimmy Kimmel — were already trying to figure out how to save the nostalgic reboot. In the opening monologue for Tuesday evening's show, Kimmel proceeded to pitch a version of the reboot without its eponymous star, which makes you wonder: Could that really work?

“Hear me out. Just because Roseanne is gone, doesn’t mean the whole show has to go. The show must go on!” Kimmel said on Jimmy Kimmel Live. “That’s what we say in show business. And with that said, I have an idea that I think makes this work for everyone.”
Kimmel then revealed a mock trailer focusing on the Roseanne family patriarch, Dan Connor (played by John Goodman). The title of this tweaked TV series? Dan, of course. The trailer showed clips of Dan's most screwball moments from the revival season, which includes trying to escape a flooded basement and giving sterns looks to his family members.
When the trailer finished, Kimmel buttoned the proposal with the perfect joke: “Right? I mean, come on! Think! I’m just saying, think.”
Let’s do just that — think. The Roseanne reboot turned out to be a ratings giant for ABC. In fact, according to ABC, the premiere’s 18.2 million viewers and impressive 5.1 rating among adults 18 to 49 made the show the highest-rated comedy telecast on any network in almost four years (since The Big Bang Theory premiered).
More: The Roseanne Cast May Have Gotten Older, but They Look Exactly the Same
The biggest tragedy of Roseanne’s cancellation is the fact that so many people are now out of a job due to drama they did not create. Many of those people have been with the show since the beginning and are clearly invested in its success. It’s nice to think that it’s possible to somehow keep the show going in some incarnation for the show’s cast and crew.
Logistically, it’s tricky. Not only is Barr the titular star, but she is also a cocreator on the show, with series writing credits for all 230 episodes in the show’s 30-year history. She has since apologized for the racist tweet that led to the show’s cancellation and explained (or blamed, depending on how you look at it) the outburst as a result of taking an Ambien and tweeting at 2 in the morning — but many feel it’s too little, too late.
So, would people even want to tune into the show anymore? Has the revival's star tainted the warm and fuzzy, "good ol’ days" feeling that made the show so popular to begin with? Not surprisingly, Twitter has feelings about this idea — surprisingly, though, they’re favorable. And it’s not just Dan getting the suggested spinoff treatment, although he is a popular choice. But really, how can you not root for a show that utilizes Goodman's talents?
ABC should write Roseanne out of Roseanne. Make a spinoff show with John Goodman as the lead and call it Dan.
In the show, Roseanne's absence is explained that she was a Russian spy all along. — James Crampton (@JimCramptonWPG) May 29, 2018

@ABCNetwork Please reboot the show as a spin off. Call it "Dan". Roseanne could have died of a tragic or stupid accident; the show could deal with the aftermath and how her death affects the family. The writers brought Dan back to life, they can kill Roseanne. — Josh Makowski (@Gentleone444) May 30, 2018
Roseanne spinoff idea: "Last Dan Standing" — BD (@bd521) May 30, 2018
Some fans think a Jackie spinoff would be hilarious, specifically if it focuses on her life-coaching career.
Maybe @netflix could grab Laurie Metcalf for a #Jackie spinoff that focuses on her life coaching
I can't even imagine the fun an endless line of guest stars being crazier than Laurie as clients. #LarryDavid for example
Then the crew that #roseanne screwed over could keep jobs — Jay Adam (@tuesjay) May 29, 2018
So @RoseanneOnABC I’m thinking spinoff series - “Aunt Jackie”, same cast (almost) same writers.
Roseanne on hiatus perhaps in prison? Now what would Roseanne go to jail for... — Mandy Evett (@MandyEvett) May 30, 2018
ABC should do a Roseanne spinoff called Jackie — Augusta (@11pikea) May 29, 2018
Others think Sara Gilbert deserves her very own Darlene spinoff, and we can’t argue with that.
I'd personally love to see ABC take the Darlene character and give @THEsaragilbert her own spinoff, entirely free of Roseanne. Gilbert proved that she was the real star of the revival and that she's more than up for leading her own show. "Darlene" is a series I'd love to watch. — John Squires (@FreddyInSpace) May 29, 2018
Roseanne gets canned but can’t they spin off Darlene? She is just as sarcastic and funny with her kids as Roseanne was during her first run and her story after the return is better — Stevenson Strange (@Strange_Talks) May 30, 2018
People saying Dan & Jackie should have a spinoff are all wrong. The strength of the new season was Darlene & her kids. THEY should have their own show w/ Darlene moving back out after a huge fight w/ Roseanne & the rest of the family can drop by for visits .. Dan without Roseanne — STORM (@kevinmyers365) May 30, 2018
How about Becky & Becky? Or perhaps The Connors, in which the focus is on the entire family, which, let’s be real, it always has been, right?
BREAKING: ABC Greenlights Roseanne Spinoff pic.twitter.com/jzuqDwkGSv — Diane N. Sevenay (@Diane_7A) May 30, 2018
The @ABCNetwork should create a spinoff show called “The Connors.”
John Goodman would get the lead role he deserves, and the 1st episode can be Roseanne’s funeral after being denied healthcare treatment.
The rest of the cast and crew keep their jobs. No Roseanne required. — Shomeo (@SassBaller) May 30, 2018
More: Roseanne Goes Off on Ashton Kutcher & Chuck Lorre
The prevailing sentiment seems to be that if there's a will there's a way — and fans want there to be both for the hardworking (and blameless) cast and crew who made the reboot so special.

Question: UK’s longest sausage roll coming to Morrisons

Morrisons is to sell the UK’s longest sausage roll – for just £1.
The supermarket has launched the Foot Long Sausage Roll, believed to be the largest in the UK.
At one foot long and weighing in at nearly half a kilogram, the store claims the sausage roll is double the length and four times the weight of some high street competitors.
Available from August 7 from the supermarket on Newland Street, the Foot Long Sausage Roll is freshly baked in-store by its Market Street bakers, made with seasoned pork meat and wrapped in a crisp, golden flaky pastry.
The sausage roll has to be served on a special tray that holds its weight, rather than being served in just the traditional paper bag.
Morrisons has created the Foot Long Sausage Roll after listening to its customers, who said that they wanted a bigger version of the British classic.
At only £1, the jumbo-sized British favourite can be bought hot and ready-to-eat from Morrisons Pie Shop counters on Market Street. It could be enjoyed as part of a picnic, shared with the family, or eaten by customers with big appetites.
The sausage roll is being launched in time for the start of the football season to be the ultimate match day pie experience.

Question: 6 strokes, a coma and 38 leg surgeries later, student crosses stage to collect diploma

Represent this text to find a news title for it

When Jack Clarke was 8 years old, doctors told his parents that he'd likely never walk or talk again.
On Sunday, he walked across the Drake Knapp Center stage to accept his diploma during the Valley High School graduation ceremony.
One of those cheering him on was Valley Principal Tim Miller. The principal and the student have been eating lunch together off and on for six years — since their time together at Stilwell Junior High.
"He is just such an amazing young guy and has a great love of life," Miller said last week. "He's got such a positive outlook on everything he does and transfers that joy to others."
Clarke's medical problems arose in elementary school after a shunt used to drain excess fluid from around his brain — he was born with a condition called hydrocephalus — became infected.
"Everything that could go wrong went wrong," said his mother, Melissa Clarke-Wharff.
Clarke had six strokes in two weeks and spent a month in a coma.
The second half of his third-grade year was spent at an inpatient medical facility. He doesn't remember much of that time, but he does remember the physical therapy he had to endure while attending fourth-grade classes part-time.
"It about emotionally about broke me," his mother said. "I got my motivation and strength from Jack. I saw he was working for this as well. I just didn’t believe that he wasn’t going to be able to walk."
He eventually had 38 leg surgeries to help him regain mobility.
When is was time for Clarke to move to junior high, his family met with Miller, who was principal of Stilwell at the time.
"I saw Tim’s commitment to Jack. He said, 'This kid's got it, and we're going to bring it out of him,'" Clarke-Wharff said
That's when Miller and Clarke first began spending their lunch period together.
"Every lunch, he was there," Clarke said. "I didn’t really know anybody else besides him. He would mingle with the students. I just found that so cool how he was able to do that."
Miller was transferred to Valley High during Clarke's eighth-grade year. But the friendship and lunches resumed two years later on Clarke's first day at Valley High.
The principal said he sits in the cafeteria each day to be accessible to students. He wasn't in the lunchroom just for Clarke, but Clarke was the bonus, he said.
"All the credit goes to Jack," Miller said. "He has a magnetism about him. Anything that people have done to help him, they’ve done because of the way he is."
That help — from family, friends, teachers and doctors — went a long way to getting Clarke to Sunday's graduation ceremony.
The Valley graduate is heading to Des Moines Area Community College in Ankeny next fall.
And he's already got some lunch dates planned this summer with Miller, who is retiring at the end of June.
"We'll see each other one way or another," the principal said. "We said we were going out together."

The deal will support the company’s growth plans by providing secure storage for 400 vehicles and a state of the art car and commercial garage.
The site will be operating on a 24/7 basis with a modern control centre and training facilities alongside its current city centre depot.
The business first opened as KD Bros and opened its doors in 1971 as a small workshop in Chapeltown, Leeds.

Rochdale Kingsway has scooped its first deal at the mighty motorway logistics scheme’s latest 11-acre speculative phase.
Developers, the Kingsway Partnership and Ropemaker, have secured their first occupier for ‘Plot K’ at the 420 acre Kingsway Business Park.
Cleland McIver Lifestyle has acquired a 40,000 sq ft warehouse as part of its ongoing expansion strategy in a deal worth close to £4m.
With its headquarters based in Smithy Bridge, Cleland McIver Lifestyle is a key supplier of household textiles to Dunelm, controlling the whole supply chain from sourcing new products to same-day distribution.
The 11-acre Plot K is a four-unit speculative phase of Kingsway Business Park, one of the largest business parks in the north west.
Units range from 35,000 sq ft to 75,000 sq ft.
Around 140 acres remains to be developed at Kingsway, which is close to junction 21 of the M62 motorway.
The deal comes as Barclays Corporate Banking and Moore Stephens publish data on the health of the UK logistics sector.
Four in ten logistics operators say they are likely to make an acquisition over the next 12 months.
The report says that the potential for value added services, greater collaboration through M&A and the new opportunities presented by technology, were all reasons for operators to feel optimistic.
This will hearten landlords, developers and investors who have been pouring money into logistics property in the north west over the last 36 months.
It could also mean deals progress for the 216,410 sq ft warehouse at Kingsway which is currently on the market. The business park is already home to a number of high profile occupiers including Asda, JD Sports, CR Laurence, Source Bio-Science, Takeuchi MFG, Edmund Bell and EON.
Paul Daye, of joint agents P3 Consultancy, said: “Cleland McIver Lifestyle is an ambitious and successful local business that had been looking to expand its operations and was keen to remain within the area.
Plot K is an important phase of Kingsway Business Park as it provides immediate occupation solutions for the north west logistics and manufacturing market.”
Jones Lang LaSalle, P3 and Colliers are the retained agents for Kingsway.

Question: Oroville Dam Evacuations Lifted As Officials Say Structure Can Withstand Next Storm

After two days of round-the-clock work to control water flowing over the Oroville Dam in Northern California, people who live downstream of the structure are allowed to return to their homes, officials announced Tuesday.
Nearly 200,000 people were affected by evacuations after water scoured enormous holes in two of the dam's concrete spillways beginning Sunday, raising concerns that the tallest dam in the country could fail.
Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea announced Tuesday evening he was lifting an evacuation order issued on Sunday, Dan Brekke of member station KQED reported.
"Thousands of lives were protected [from] the looming prospect of a catastrophic failure of the emergency spillway," Honea told reporters, adding that residents should be ready to evacuate again if conditions change.
"There's the prospect that we can issue another evacuation order if circumstances change," he said.
The Red Cross said shelters remained open on Tuesday evening.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency also announced that federal disaster relief for Butte, Sutter and Yuba counties had been approved by the White House on Tuesday.
On Monday and Tuesday, crews dumped enormous rocks into damaged sections of the dam's damaged emergency spillway, hoping to prevent further erosion. The spillway is supposed to carry water from Lake Oroville around the main wall of the dam when the lake level is too high.
With the lake level still high and more rain forecast for later this week, officials rushed to prevent a catastrophe, as The Los Angeles Times reported:
"A swarm of trucks and helicopters dumped 1,200 tons of material per hour onto the eroded hillside that formed the dam's emergency spillway. One quarry worked around the clock to mine boulders as heavy as 6 tons. An army of workers mixed concrete slurry to help seal the rocks in place. " 'This is an aggressive, proactive attack to address the erosion,' said Bill Croyle, acting director of the state Department of Water Resources. 'There's a lot of people, a lot of equipment, a lot of materials moving around, from the ground and from the air.' "At the main spillway, a different and riskier operation was underway: Despite a large hole in the concrete chute, officials have been sending a massive amount of the swollen reservoir's water down the chute to the Feather River in a desperate attempt to reduce the lake's level. "The structure continued to hold Tuesday without sustaining more significant damage, officials said."
By Wednesday morning, officials said the lake level was low enough to handle rain from the next storm, Dan Brekke reported.
The damage to Oroville Dam raises questions about the ability of aging infrastructure to cope with severe weather exacerbated by global warming.
After a damaging five year drought in California, the National Weather Service said Tuesday that much of the state is on track for the wettest winter ever recorded, filling reservoirs and replenishing alpine snowpack that will continue to feed rivers for months.
That means California's aging dams will be tested as they have not been in years.
The New York Times reported that "of the 1,585 dams in California, 17 are listed in poor condition and 97 in fair condition, according to the National Inventory of Dams, which is kept by the United States Army Corps of Engineers."
On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer called the Oroville dam situation "a textbook example of why we need to pursue a major infrastructure package in Congress," continuing, "Dams, bridges, roads, and all ports around the county have fallen into disrepair."
