Question: From Tesla cars to underwear, metal makers seek new markets

he world’s biggest mining companies would like you to put more zinc in your zucchini and copper in your socks and dental floss.
While builders and manufacturers remain the biggest metals users, producers are confronting the end of a Chinese industrial boom that fuelled surging global demand and prices. For more than a decade, the country dominated markets as it sucked up raw materials to build factories, homes and power lines. Now, with the industrial engine cooling, mine owners are looking for new uses to spur sales like in fertilizer, electric-car batteries and salmon cages.
“Traditional demand isn’t going to fall off a cliff,” said Paul Gait, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein Ltd. in London. “But it’s true that no one wants to hear about industrial production growth or Chinese cement demand anymore.”
Mining companies have toyed with exotic uses for years, but the search took on new urgency as the economy began to mature in China, the world’s biggest buyer of metals. This year, the country will have its slowest growth in copper use in a decade, Barclays Plc analysts said last month. Base metals including aluminum and nickel are heading for their first quarterly decline in more than a year. In May, Moody’s Investors Service downgraded China’s sovereign debt, sparking concern that tighter credit will hurt smokestack industries.
Fixed asset investment trailed estimates last month as the country’s property market cooled and the country sought to rein in credit, data showed Wednesday.
China consumed almost half of the world’s refined copper in 2014 as the country’s demand surged 8.8 per cent from a year earlier, Barclays estimates. Since then growth has been slowing, and by 2020 the bank estimates China usage will increase just 1.5 per cent. The economy that was growing at double-digit rates through most of the 2000s has slowed every year since 2010 to about 6.7 per cent last year, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
That’s forcing company executives to focus on ways to bolster future growth.
“There is a huge opportunity for metals such as copper, from developing batteries to store renewable energy, to the copper motor rotor used” in Tesla Inc. electric vehicles, said Robert Dwyer, associate director of environment at the Copper Alliance.
Copper’s ability to kill microorganisms is a selling point for new household and industrial products, which could boost demand for the metal by as much as 1 million metric tons a year, expanding annual usage by 20 million tons over the next two decades, according to data from Bernstein. Global demand for all uses last year was about 23.2 million tons, according to Barclays.
New Uses
Purdue University in Indiana is purchasing weight-lifting equipment coated with the metal for a new athletic facility scheduled to open later this year. The goal is to reduce instances of flu and viral infections, said Justin Lovett, a Purdue football director. Cages lined with copper are being used on salmon farms in Chile, Japan, Canada, Australia and Norway to fight the spread of bacteria, said Ricardo Benavides, technical director at EcoSea Farming, which produces the cages in Chile.
Codelco, Chile’s state-owned mining company and the world’s largest copper producer, has promoted using the metal in hospitals, airports and even socks -- 1.4 million pairs sold last year in Chile. The company has invested about $10-million in new applications over the last five years, according to Sebastián Carmona, interim head of Codelco’s technology arm.
The mine owner also has encouraged innovation with $50,000 grants to entrepreneurs, including antibacterial baby clothes, dental floss with copper nano-particles and a copper-based material that can be used for 3D printing of orthopedics.
New uses are also being developed for aluminum. Arconic Inc., a maker of aluminum parts for cars and planes, is investing in facilities to support the use of metals by three-dimensional printing machines, which use computer software to manufacture products.
3-D Printing
After a slow start, usage of aluminum is growing in 3-D printing, along with titanium, cobalt and chrome, as the technology moves products out of testing and into commercial use in industries like aerospace, said Terry Wohlers, the founder of industry consultant Wohlers Associates in Fort Collins, Colorado.
About $542.2 million of 3-D printers for metals were sold last year, or 9 per cent of all sales, Wohlers estimates. By 2022, sales will increase more than fourfold to $26-billion, and with machines devoted to metals growing faster than the industry overall, he said.
Sales are growing for zinc-infused fertilizers from companies including Mosaic Co., especially after a 2008 study estimated 450,000 children under the age of five die each year from zinc deficiency.
Adding zinc into fertilizers could consume as much as 600,000 tons of the metal -- or about 4 per cent of global demand -- in “the not too distant future,” Don Lindsay, the chief executive officer of metals producer Teck Resources Ltd., said at a conference last month.
At the same conference, Glencore Plc boss Ivan Glasenberg promoted the idea that his company mines minerals like cobalt, nickel and copper needed to build the growing number of electric vehicles.
If 95 per cent of the world’s auto sales are electric vehicles by 2032, the industry would need 20 million tons of copper annually -- roughly equivalent to usage in every other application combined in 2016, Glencore estimates. For cobalt, that scenario would mean an increase in demand of 679,000 tons, or 5 1/2 times of what the world produced last year.
Expanding Capacity
Manufacturers in China aren’t taking any chances. Production capacity for copper foil -- a component in the anodes used in lithium-ion electric vehicle batteries -- is set to double within the next two years as 15 new manufacturing plants ramp up, according to the International Copper Study Group.
Metal producers should take their cue from the aluminum industry to prepare for changes in demand, Bernstein’s Gait said. When oversupply left prices low, aluminum producers invested in downstream ventures to promote the lightweight metal as a substitute for steel and copper in such products as autos and electrical wiring.
“Aluminum isn’t really the best material for these kinds of applications,” Gait said. “But when they found no one wanted to buy their commodity, producers went out and bought downstream assets to develop competitive products themselves. Other miners could certainly benefit from taking those kinds of opportunities more seriously.”

It’s the modern gold rush. Around the world, the most sought-after mineral isn’t a precious metal, nor is it oil and gas…it’s lithium.
Lithium, or “white petroleum” as some call it, has become a crucial element in today’s high-tech economy.
Demand for lithium is soaring, and producers are frantically searching for new sources of supply. Prices have doubled in the last two years, rising as high as $16,500 per ton.
(Click to enlarge)
The biggest reason for the surge? The immense demand for lithium-ion batteries, needed to power electric vehicles (EV), cell phone and wind turbines.
As the Wall Street Journal reported, the surge in demand has pushed lithium miners to new areas in search of rich deposits.
Traditional production of lithium and lithium-ion batteries is concentrated in a few key areas, but with demand set to increase dramatically in the coming years, investors are searching for creative new ways to increase global supply.
A boom in Canadian lithium mining is pushing companies like Nemaska Lithium (TSX: NMX) and Power Metals Corp. (TSXV: PWM.V) to tap new deposits of lithium.
The fact that China is trying to corner the market has made the search for new deposits even more intense, as U.S. and European firms try to get around Chinese domination.
For the last five years, the commodities world has focused on the epic showdown between OPEC and U.S. shale drillers for oil market share. But it’s the war over “white petroleum” that will dominate the next decade.
Cornering the Market
In January, Zion Market Research projected lithium-ion battery sales to grow at an annualized rate of 13.7 percent, rising to $67.6 billion by 2022.
Lithium prices have risen stupendously in the last three years—from $6,500 per ton in 2015 to more than $20,000 in 2018.
China, which produces most of the world’s lithium batteries, has moved aggressively to secure steady supply. Chinese companies now own major shares in many South American lithium mines, where the bulk of the world’s lithium is produced, in order to feed Chinese battery factories. Related: The One Man Who Could Send Oil To $100
China anticipates demand for lithium batteries to soar in coming years—mostly because they believe demand for electric vehicles (EVs) will exceed demand for gas-powered cars by 2030.
But the Chinese may be in for a surprise, as new mining companies secure deposits of lithium outside of South America.
Going Around the Chinese Wall
The Chinese may be investing heavily in South American lithium production in order to corner the market, but European and North American firms are side-stepping the Chinese autarchy to secure supplies of their own.
Europe uses 25 percent of the world’s lithium, while European auto-makers are anticipating a surge in EV production as the continent shifts away from gasoline-powered cars.
European investors are searching out lithium deposits in Germany and the Czech Republic. Meanwhile, drillers are mapping out underground lithium deposits in the UK, Portugal and Sweden.
In North America, miners are exploring for untapped lithium deposits that could rival the big finds in South America. Canadian miner Quantum Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: QMC) has expanded its Lithium Mine Project in Manitoba by 100 percent.
Another Canadian outfit, Nemaska Lithium Inc. (TSX: NMX) is hoping to exceed its current rate of production (16,000 tons) by 20 percent this year. The probable reserve of its property in Quebec is estimated at 24 million tons, which means it should have no problem reaching its production goals.
Nemaska has been a big winner on the lithium market: it rode its discoveries at their Whabouchi property in Canada to a $1.9 billion valuation.
Power Metals Corp, a hard-rock lithium driller is sitting on a deposit that could be worth billions. Rather than mine lithium through evaporation, which is very time-consuming, Power Metals uses drilling to tap into deposits of lithium spodumene trapped within the rock.
Canada could become a key source of lithium—which is good news for North American industry that may be losing access to Chinese lithium batteries.
One Door Closes, Another Opens
A trade war has broken out between China and the United States. While that’s bad news for some industries that rely on Chinese imports, its good news for North American lithium miners like Power Metals and Nemaska.
Related: The Bullish And Bearish Case For Oil
In early April, the U.S. government slapped a big tariff on imported Chinese lithium batteries, part of a tariff on Chinese goods worth $50 billion.
That means that lithium miners will see a bigger market for their products—and a surge of investment into North American mining, which has the lowest risk factor in the world.
China may be cornering the market on South American lithium in order to feed its battery factories and churn out electric cars, but protectionist policies by the U.S. and aggressive expansion into European lithium production may cut the Chinese out of the global battery market.
Booming demand for lithium could be fed by the lithium mines of Canada—turning junior miners into major players virtually overnight.
Power Metals has announced a 15000m drilling program for 2018. “The explorational upside is immense,” according to Dr. Julie Selway, the company’s hard-rock lithium expert, “and each drill target can substantially increase the overall resource size.”
Canadian lithium deposit, according to Selway, represent a “sleeping giant:” once tapped, it could provide enough lithium to satisfy North American demand.
Just as the world of oil has seen intense competition between OPEC and U.S. shale, the lithium world may be defined by its own war: China vs. Everyone Else.
In this new gold rush, it pays to be prepared for anything.
Other companies transforming the lithium the space:
FMC Corp. (NYSE:FMC) founded in 1883, FMC has been around the block and back. FMC has a long history stretching between many different industries, but within all of them, FMC has remained a leader in innovation.
FMC’s involvement in the lithium industry is particularly notable. The company is one of the top three in lithium and associated technologies. It is one of the largest suppliers into electric vehicle applications using lithium hydroxide.
Strong growth in lithium is expected to drive margins for FMC and major expansion, leading analysts to give it an outperform rating. The company’s full year 2016 results were impressive, with lithium segment earnings of $21 million—up an amazing 90 percent from Q4 2015.
Magna International (TSX:MG) (NYSE:MGA) is based in Aurora, Ontario. The global automotive supplier is gutsy and innovative--and definitely tuned to the obvious future--clean transportation. A great catalyst is its development of a combo electric/hydrogen vehicle--a fuel cell range-extended EV (FCREEV). It’s not going to produce them (for now, at least) but plans to use the model to show off its engineering and design prowess and produce elements of the electric drivetrain and contract manufacturing.
The company’s auto parts are distributed to heavyweights such as General Motors, Ford, Tesla, BMW, Toyota, Volkswagen and Chrysler. These huge deals provide a safe and steady profit stream for the company. It’s insightful, forward-thinking and smart value/low cost for shareholders.
Tesla Motors Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA): No large cap company has dazzled over the past couple of years like Tesla, which overtook giant GM this year in market cap—a major, unexpected feat. Tesla is the future, and its stock price agrees.
Tesla’s electric cars will eventually be more profitable than traditional cars, and easier to produce. Costs will keep coming down, especially now that Tesla’s has launched its battery gigafactory in Nevada, and when it gets battery (and lithium) prices down.
It is entirely feasible that Tesla will be selling over 2 million cars annually in less 6-7 years from now.
General Motors (NYSE:GM) is a household name. GM was born at the turn of the 20th century and has been a leading innovator in the automotive industry ever since. Even though it’s been surpassed in market cap by Tesla (of all companies), it is still the furthest ahead of the Big 3 car makers from Detroit in terms of EVs and self-driving cars.
Recently, GM acquired Cruise Automation—a self-driving car company, and it seems determined to forge ahead even faster to play catch-up with the future. Additionally, GM is a leader in the booming electric vehicle market. As countries across the world begin to pass regulations on combustion engines, GM stands to gain significantly as an early adopter in the EV game.
Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG): With a market cap of over $657 billion, this is the second-largest by market capitalization in the S&P 500. We love Alphabet because its foundation is intellectual property—not tangible assets.
Oh, and self-driving cars … definitely a huge part of the innovation in energy and artificial intelligence. As an early entry into the self-driving car world, Alphabet’s innovations have paved the way for a transportation revolution
Alphabet is set to continue to bring value to its investors and even as one of the largest companies in the S&P 500, Google’s parent company continues to reach new heights.

Question: Cadillac Super Cruises to the front with the most advanced semi-autonomous car on the market

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

NEW YORK—As regular readers of Cars Technica know, the auto industry is going full-speed ahead when it comes to self-driving cars. A number of OEMs and their technology company partners have promised us SAE "level 4" self-driving vehicles by 2021. But not all of these organizations are taking the same road to get there. Some, like Ford and Volvo, have decided to go straight to full autonomy by working on vehicles that won't need a human driver at all within specific geofenced areas (these are vehicles that you or I will use through ride-hailing services). Others, notably General Motors and Audi, believe in some degree of returning control to the human driver, who may or may not be giving the road their full attention. At this year's New York International Auto Show, the former group broke cover with its new Super Cruise system, which will be available on the Cadillac CT6 sedan later this year.
Further Reading Two roads to the same place: 2016 and the future of self-driving cars To be accurate, unlike the system due to appear in Audi's next A8 flagship, Super Cruise is only a level 2, not level 3, autonomy. There are already plenty of level 2 autonomous systems on the market already, typically cars with a combination of adaptive cruise control—which maintains a car's speed to traffic ahead via the use of radar—and a lane keeping assist that reads the lane markers on the road with an optical sensor and steers to keep the car centered between them. But Super Cruise is closer to level 3 than pretty much every other level 2 system out there, since it combines adaptive cruise control and lane keeping with two notable advances that are going to play a large role in more autonomous cars in the future.
Are you paying attention?
One of the big challenges with semi-autonomous driving is the need to return control to the human driver in cases where the computers can no longer handle a task. After all, how is a car supposed to know if its driver is paying attention? Currently, even the excellent semi-autonomous systems from Audi, Tesla, and Volvo all use the same trick; torque or touch sensors can tell whether the driver has their hands on the steering wheel. Go hands-free for too long—15 seconds in the case of Audi and Volvo, or several minutes for Tesla—and the car alerts the driver and deactivates the lane keeping assist.
That's because such systems are meant as driver assists, not driver replacements, although in their desire for longer hands-free cruising some Tesla drivers discovered they could spoof this by hanging weights off the steering wheel (that's not something we would condone or encourage. Low-speed traffic jam assists, on the other hand, don't have a time limit for hands-free operation, although they will only work when the car senses it is in heavy traffic.)
Head tracking
Jonathan Gitlin
Cadillac
Cadillac
Further Reading A former Ferrari F1 engineer says gaze tracking is key to self-driving cars The obvious answer to the problem is giving the car a way of detecting if its operator is actually paying attention. In this case, that's done via head tracking. Dubbed the "Driver Attention System," Cadillac's solution uses an infrared camera to track a driver's head position while Super Cruise is active.
Spend too long looking away from the road ahead, and the car will alert you that it's time to focus on the road. Alerts happen through a series of escalating alerts on the main instrument display, an LED bar set into the steering wheel, and even haptic rumbles from your seat. And since it's checking (and asking) for the driver to keep their eyes on the road, this system can't be spoofed like those Tesla ones. Though to note, you can satisfy Super Cruise warnings simply by returning your eyes to the road—no need to grab the wheel.
Ignore all of the car's alerts, and eventually it will bring the car to a controlled stop with the hazard lights on, alerting the emergency services through OnStar. And unlike Audi's forthcoming system, Super Cruise will stop the car in the lane it's in rather than navigating to the shoulder. That particular detail didn't go down very well with NHTSA, which wrote to Cadillac to express its concern. (Somewhat ironically, the NHTSA lawyer that signed that letter is now working for General Motors, according to Car and Driver.)
Geofencing
The second big improvement Super Cruise adds over extant level 2 systems is that it will only work on divided, limited-access highways. That's important, because it means Cadillac can feel safe offering the system with the peace of mind of knowing it won't be active in a situation outside the parameters for which its sensors have been optimized.
A good example of this are the optical sensors and machine vision algorithms that detect when a car ahead is rapidly slowing, automatically braking if necessary. Automatic emergency braking (AEB) is being added as standard equipment by car makers ahead of a possible mandate by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. But as we learned from NHTSA's investigation into a fatal Tesla Model S crash in Florida in May 2016, AEB systems are only designed to recognize a car from the rear—another vehicle crossing its path perpendicular to the direction of travel won't trigger a response.
Further Reading The most detailed maps of the world will be for cars, not humans Similarly, Cadillac has chosen to geofence Super Cruise. That sounds easy, but it's actually a rather monumental task. To that end, a fleet of Lidar-equipped mapping vehicles has been driving up the length and breadth of the US and Canada—more than 160,000 miles in total. Those vehicles have put together a high-resolution 3D map of the highway network, readable to the Super Cruise-equipped CT6. Coupled with the car's accurate GPS system, equipped vehicles know exactly where they are down to a couple of inches.
The CT6 pulls the map from Cadillac's servers (updated annually over the air). Though since it isn't equipped with a Lidar sensor itself, the car isn't able to upload fresh data itself; as a result the Lidar-mapping vehicles are still in service to cover roadworks and new building projects.
The map also lets the CT6 "see" much farther down the road than traditional optical and radar sensors allow, meaning it can adjust the engine, transmission, and suspension settings to cope with turns and so on.
Super Cruise should be available as an option on the Cadillac CT6 this fall.

For instance, <<['Represent the article to find a fitting news title', "The following article is entirely the opinion of Evan Massey and does not reflect the views of the Inquisitr.\nWhat grade does Lonzo Ball deserve for his performance throughout the 2017-18 NBA season?\nLonzo Ball was the talk of the 2017 NBA Draft, with many differing opinions on whether the Los Angeles Lakers should take him with the No. 2 overall pick. When everything was said and done, Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka decided to go ahead and taken the UCLA star with the second pick.\nHis rookie season was a roller coaster, seeing the young point guard go through major slumps and also having some big games to show some of his potential. LaVar Ball, his father, certainly didn’t make things easy for his son. All season long, LaVar talked about his son, even saying that Lonzo would leave the Lakers if they didn’t bring both of his brothers on board in the future.\nThroughout the course of the 2017-18 NBA season, Ball ended up averaging 10.2 points per game to go along with 7.2 assists and 6.9 rebound. While the scoring numbers weren’t where the Lakers were hoping they would be, Ball flashed his ability to make plays with his passing. Despite the lack of scoring, Ball impacted many games in a positive way.\nLos Angeles finished the season with a 35-47 record. It was a better year than some were expecting and the future is bright for the Lakers with plenty of money to be major players in free agency this coming offseason.\nAll of that being said, Ball’s rookie season was a success for the Lakers. He showed his ability to be a true point guard and is a major cornerstone for the franchise moving forward.\nFormer Cavaliers general manager David Griffin is convinced Lonzo Ball is going to be a 'very good player.'https://t.co/UY0QIkjLMf pic.twitter.com/sE6f0Puix8 — Lakers Nation (@LakersNation) April 24, 2018\nStrengths and Weaknesses\nFirst and foremost, let’s take a look at Ball’s biggest strengths and weaknesses throughout his rookie year.\nAs far as strengths go, his ability to get his teammates open looks is the first thing that comes to mind. Whether it be his full-court lead passes, getting to the rim and kicking out to shooters, or simply running the offense under control, Ball made an impact as the floor general. He also rebounded the ball exceptionally well for a point guard.\nAt 6-foot-6, Ball is capable of creating a mismatch against most opposing point guards. He possesses great athleticism and showed that he can get to the rim and finish well.\nOn the other hand, his major weakness was his shooting. After being hyped up as a deadly three-point shooter in college, Ball shot just 30.5 percent from the three-point line in 2017-18. If he wants to become a star in the NBA, he will have to figure out his shot.\nHighlights\nBall had quite a few games that deserve to be mentioned in this section. He had quite a few games where he showed off his all-around potential and gave a glimpse at what the Lakers can expect moving into the future.\nThe first game that comes to mind is his performance against the Phoenix Suns in the second game of the regular season. He scored a season-high 29 points to go along with 11 rebounds and nine assists. Ball shot 12-for-27 from the floor in that game, which wasn’t amazing, but did knock down 4-for-9 from beyond the arc.\nAnother performance worth noting was on November 11 against the Milwaukee Bucks. Ball put up his first career triple-double, scoring 19 points, grabbing 12 rebounds, and dishing out 13 assists. L.A. lost the game 98-90, but Ball showed off all of the tools that many believe will make him a future star in the NBA.\nBall also threw down a massive alley-oop dunk that left LaVar going crazy against the New York Knicks.\nOutside of those three highlights, there were plenty of other big games throughout the course of the season. Those three were simply three of the biggest highlights for Ball as a rookie in L.A.\nFinal Grade for Lonzo Ball\nGrading Lonzo’s rookie season isn’t an easy task, especially due to all of the hype that surrounded him coming into the year. He didn’t live up to the hype, but he did show flashes of future stardom.\nLos Angeles knows that they have a bit of a project to work on with Ball, but they are excited to undertake the work that is ahead. Luke Walton worked well with Ball all season long and is a perfect coach to help the young point guard unlock his full potential.\nAssuming Ball does not allow the pressure to get to him, the future is extremely bright. He showed flashes of being a triple-double machine and is the kind of true point guard that the Lakers needed.\nLonzo Ball’s 2017-18 NBA Season Grade: B"]>>  to <<['I found this news title.

Question: Brevard County: Teachers and guns in schools

Represent the article to find a fitting news title.

0 Community split on proposal to arm Brevard County teachers
PALM BAY, Fla. - The first of three public meetings to discuss arming Brevard County teachers was held in Palm Bay on Tuesday evening.
Before the meeting, students, parents and teachers laid on the sidewalk with signs shaped like tombstones with the message that more guns will not make schools safer.
"If you put more guns into the equation, gun violence is just bound to occur," said Karly Hudson, a junior at Melbourne High School.

The idea came about after the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.
A state law requires schools to have either an officer or armed guardian on every campus by the start of the next school year.
Arming some staff was part of Sheriff Wayne Ivey’s four-layer plan to better protect schools.
His plan also included additional resource officers.
"With as little as I get paid as a teacher, I'd be willing to pay more taxes to see our children protected," teacher Adam Tritt said.
The proposal drew protests criticizing the plan at last week’s Brevard County School Board meeting.

Dozens of people spoke out at last week's meeting against the so-called Sheriff Trained Onsite Marshal Program, or STOMP.
If approved, STOMP would allow vetted and trained school personnel to volunteer to carry concealed firearms on campus.
"No matter how much training, how many hours of training, it's not going to compare to military training or police academies," said Jiana Carroll.
School board members heard from parents and students who like the idea of school staff carrying guns on campus.
"I think we have a responsibility to our schools and to our children to not allow anyone to be a sitting duck any longer," a man said at Tuesday's meeting.
"I know that I personally would feel much safer if the guardian program were in place," a student said.

Hull KR coach Tim Sheens called for ‘size and power’ at the end of last season knowing his side were going to make the move to Super League in 2018.
However that wish has not been entirely granted in the recruitment market, instead with an emphasis on developing their own props into top-flight material.
One man who already had experience of this level was Robbie Mulhern, who continued his ascent up the Robins ranks.
Known to have impressed the Australian during his time at the club, Mulhern was given the tough task of starting prop against Wakefield Trinity.
It became clear early doors that the visitors were much bigger in terms of size, but Mulhern made up for that with some good shots and plenty of power in his running.
He’s not the finished article by any means but his development isn’t waning. We’re yet to see a complete performance as mistakes continue to blot his copybook, but he wasn’t the only one to come up with an error from the 28-6 reverse at KCOM Craven Park.
Given Nick Scruton’s continued absence through a shoulder problem, Mulhern could again be tasked with leading the line at his former club Leeds next Thursday.
He’ll relish that responsibility and though the match went against Rovers this time around, Mulhern can continue to lift his game for the big occasion.
One of the bright lights from an otherwise frustrating night.

Ryan Hall scored a stunning second half try to help champions Leeds kick off their Super League defence in style.
The England international touched down in each half in an accomplished display by the visitors in their first match since the exits of iconic playmakers Danny McGuire and Rob Burrow.
The last time the club had major departures in the wake of their historic 2015 treble winning season they struggled the following year and missed the top eight.
But with Richie Myler making an assured start to life in the no.7 shirt, Jamie Jones-Buchanan outstanding at 36 years old and teenager Jack Walker terrific at the back, they look much better placed to cope.
1. Myler’s promising start

The retirement of Rob Burrow and departure of Danny McGuire to Hull KR left two considerable holes in the Rhinos ranks.
With the serial Grand Final winners moving on, new signing Richie Myler has been charged with plugging some of those gaps, and made an encouraging start at his former club.
The 28-year-old’s kick created a try for Ryan Hall, looked sharp throughout and was defensively excellent.
Mirror columnist Jamie Peacock reckons his support game will suit the Rhinos’ offloading style and expect Myler to grow into his new role.
2. Warrington’s rebuild may take time
(Image: PA)
After missing out on the top eight last season there is expectation for significant improvement from the Wolves under new coach Steve Price.
A handful of new faces including scrum-half Tyrone Roberts - who didn’t feature in pre-season - mean it is unlikely to be immediate.
So it proved, and although Roberts showed some neat touches - along with fellow new boy Bryson Goodwin and hooker Daryl Clark - they fell short on opening night.
Once Roberts and Price settle fully into their new surroundings the Wolves should again challenge Super League’s best.
3. Jack Walker looks set for a big season
(Image: PA)
The teenage Rhinos full-back was one of the success stories on 2017, breaking into the Leeds side and playing in a Grand Final at just 18.
But his starting place was far from guaranteed with no.1 Ashton Golding also in Brian McDermott’s 19-man squad.
The Rhinos boss decided to go with Walker, and sporting a new closely cropped haircut, he again looked assured at the back.
Walker dealt with a series of high kicks and provided try saving tackles at the back despite his age - he looks well set for a big year despite one late error.
4. Jamie Jones-Buchanan is ageless
(Image: PA)
At the other end of the age scale is Jamie Jones-Buchanan, who is old enough to be Walker’s dad.
A matter of days younger than Super League eldest statesman - opponent Ben Westwood - JJB shows no sign of slowing down.
Not only did he open the scoring with a rare and well-taken try, but as usual he was all over the pitch for the full game.
Whether it’s taking the toughest drives early in the set or making crucial tackles directly from a scrum, Jones-Buchanan remains seemingly indefatigable.
He still looks to have plenty of miles left in the tank at the age of 36.
5. Chris Hill’s hospital dash
(Image: PA)
Warrington’s hope of a comeback were hardly helped when England prop Chris Hill has to leave the game early to attend the birth of his fourth child.
Sky Sports reported that Hill’s partner went into labour while at the game, leaving Hill to join her in the second half.
It raised memories of St Helens’ prop Alex Walmsley’s dash during the second half of a game at Wakefield last season.

Question: Mack Horton is STILL being sent vile threats by Chinese fans after labelling Sun Yang a drug cheat

Australian Olympic hero Mack Horton is still being sent vile threats from Chinese trolls nearly two years after he labelled the country's top swimmer a drug cheat.
Horton's fierce rivalry with Sun Yang reached boiling point at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games when the Australian alluded to his Chinese opponent's previous doping ban.
The now 22-year-old revealed he was bombarded with half-a-million messages of hate from Yang's fans during the Games. The abuse is yet to stop.
'Are you not dead yet?' and 'your mother is buried alive' are among the loosely translated comments posted on Horton's social media accounts in recent days.

'Are you not dead yet?' and 'your mother is buried alive' are among the loosely translated comments posted on his social media accounts in recent days
'Your dog's mouth makes people sick. Your family's graves are smoking, you wait, I'm going to water him,' another wrote.
'Just came by to see if you are still being trolled, now I can rest easy,' yet another commented.
The abuse began after Horton famously launched a chip at Yang when asked about reports the Chinese swimmer had taunted him in the training pool in Rio.
'It got played up a bit but he splashed me to say ''hi'' and I ignored him. I don't have time or respect for drug cheats,' Olympic debutant Horton said at the time.

Horton (pictured in Sydney) previously said he had no regrets over calling out his opponent
After his stirring win over Yang in the 400m freestyle final, the newly-crowned champion said he had no regrets about calling out his rival.
'I don't think it is a big statement because it is true, he has tested positive,' Horton said.
'No athlete has really come forward and said it. It wouldn't have felt right if I raced against someone who had tested positive and didn't bring it up.'
Yang served a three-month doping ban in secret in 2014 and news of the suspension was announced retrospectively by Chinese officials.

Text splayed across some pictures posted online included 'I am a loser' and 'you eat poo poo'
Following Horton's drug cheat comments, an army of trolls rounded on the Victorian in dozens of bitter memes designed by Chinese social media users.
Weibo and Instagram were flooded with pictures where Horton's face is covered with poo emoji.
Text splayed across some pictures included 'I am a loser' and 'you eat poo poo'. Many pictures featured emoji of middle fingers stuck up.
One of the most popular memes was a picture of Horton with his eyes closed and the words: 'Respect? My parents didn't teach me any.'
Some members of the #apologisetosunyang movement placed clip art gold medals around Yang's neck.

The Chinese swim team demanded an apology from Horton during the Rio Games, claiming his comments were 'a malicious attack'. The apology never came.
Yang is no stranger to controversy. At the 2015 world titles in Russia, he was accused of assaulting a female Brazilian swimmer after an argument in the warm-up pool.
He later failed to show up for the 1,500m freestyle final, citing illness at the last minute.
He has made plenty of news out of the pool in China, including an incident in which he drove a Porsche without a licence and crashed it into the back of a bus.

Question: 6-Year-Old YouTube Star Earns $11 Million Reviewing Toys

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — A family’s toy review videos, starring their six-year-old son, has turned the youngster into one of the richest YouTube stars online.
Ryan, the star of Ryan ToysReview, finished in the Top 10 of Forbes’ highest-paid YouTube stars in the world this year. The six-year-old’s massively popular channel has reportedly earned $11 million in 2017.
The channel has attracted a huge following of parents and children who watch Ryan test out new toys and give his thoughts on them. Ryan ToysReview started in 2015 when the boy was only four; it now has over 10 million subscribers and his videos were reportedly viewed over eight billion times during the 12-month period Forbes was tracking them.
“He loves Cars, Trains, Thomas and friends, Lego, Superheroes, Disney toys, open surprise eggs, play doh , Pixar Disney cars , Disney Planes, monster trucks, minions, playtime at the fun, family fun adventure and so much more!,” Ryan’s parents write on the family’s YouTube channel.
Ryan’s family says the child star was inspired by watching other children and programs on YouTube and wanted to join the party. “One day, he asked me, ‘How come I’m not on YouTube when all the other kids are?’ So we just decided — yeah, we can do that. Then, we took him to the store to get his very first toy — I think it was a Lego train set — and it all started from there,” the boy’s mother said, via TubeFilter.
The family, who decided to keep their last name and location a secret for their son’s safety, says the show will only go on as long as Ryan continues to enjoy it. Once the youngster gets bored with his hit show, his parents say Ryan stop giving out the multi-million-dollar reviews.

Question: Trump to visit families of victims of Texas school shooting

President Donald Trump will meet with the families of victims of the Santa Fe High School shooting on a visit to Texas on Thursday, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said Wednesday.
WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump will meet with the families of victims of the Santa Fe High School shooting on a visit to Texas on Thursday, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said Wednesday.
Eight students and two teachers were killed at the Santa Fe High School near Houston when a teenage student opened fire in a classroom on May 18.

The president had been previously scheduled to attend campaign fundraisers in Houston and Dallas on Thursday. Sanders said that while in Houston, Trump will meet with victims' families "to personally offer his condolences and support."
After the shootings, Trump said his administration "is determined to do everything in our power to protect our students, secure our schools and do everything we can to keep weapons out of the hands of those who pose a threat to themselves and to others."
The White House reactivated a school-safety commission that was formed after the high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, in February that left 17 dead. Sanders said that the commission is meeting again this week to determine "the best ways forward and how we can do every single thing within our power to protect kids in our schools and to make them feel safe and make their parents feel good about dropping them off."
In March, the administration released a safety plan that, among other things, pledged to provide funds for firearms training for some school personnel.

Question: This Just In: Orbital ATK Stock Upgraded After Earnings

represent the article to find a fitting news title

Every day, Wall Street analysts upgrade some stocks, downgrade others, and "initiate coverage" on a few more. But do these analysts even know what they're talking about? Today, we're taking one high-profile Wall Street pick and putting it under the microscope...
Continue Reading Below
It's been nearly two weeks since Orbital ATK (NYSE: OA) reported its fiscal Q2 2017 earnings, surprising analysts with a better-than-expected pro forma number. Today, at long last, Orbital ATK received its reward, when analysts from Argus Research announced they were upgrading the stock to buy.
Here are three things you need to know about that.
1. What Orbital ATK said
Orbital ATK reported Q2 2017 earnings on Aug. 3. Sales for the quarter were $1.12 billion, slightly ahead of analyst estimates of $1.11 billion, and up 3% in comparison to Q2 2016. Profits, however, were more of a mixed bag.
On the plus side, and from a pro forma perspective, Orbital reported adjusted earnings of $1.56 per share, which was $0.13 more than Wall Street had expected. On the minus side, actual GAAP profits were down 3% at $1.51 per share, despite the revenue rise.
Continue Reading Below ADVERTISEMENT
Operating margins are to blame for the decline. Despite management's saying that it achieved "strong profit margin performance," Orbital's operating profit margin in Q2 actually fell 140 basis points year over year, to 12.2%. Orbital struggled to make up the difference farther down the income statement -- and succeeded in part, cutting its net profit decline to only 4% with the help of a lower tax rate, and using share buybacks to pare the per-share decline in profits to just 3%. But even so, profits declined.
In other bad news, free cash flow evaporated during the quarter. Whereas one year ago, Orbital ATK generated positive cash profits of $107.2 million, in Q2 2017 the company burned through $55.8 million in negative free cash flow.
2. What Orbital ATK said about the future
All that being said, Orbital ATK management remains optimistic about the balance of this year. CFO Garrett Pierce argued that Orbital "is performing well both financially and operationally and is meeting or exceeding our annual plan." Furthermore, Pierce promised that Orbital will "accelerate" revenue and earnings growth in H2 2017, and "trigger significant free cash flow."
Helping fuel this optimism was a wave of new bookings that is swelling backlog at Orbital ATK. During the quarter, Orbital landed $1.4 billion in "new firm and option orders," and a further $220 million worth of "option exercises under existing contracts." Compared to the company's $1.12 billion in sales, this works out to a book-to-bill ratio of about 1.45 for Orbital -- very strong, and indicative of revenue growth on the horizon. Orbital says its firm backlog of work now waiting to be done has climbed 10% over the past year -- about three times faster than revenue had been growing.
With all this new work in hand, Orbital raised its guidance for full-year sales and earnings (but curiously, not free cash flow). Orbital now expects to see sales range between $4.6 billion and $4.65 billion this year (up about $25 million from previous expectations). Profits will be a minimum of $5.95 per share ($0.15 more than previously expected), and could go as high as $6.25 per share ($0.05 higher than the previous ceiling). Free cash flow will still range between $250 million and $300 million.
3. What Argus said about Orbital ATK
Responding to Orbital's guidance revision, Argus Research announced that it is upping its rating on the stock from hold to buy and assigning a new price target of $120. This implies that Argus is looking for Orbital stock to grow about 12.5% from its present price.
As explained in a note on TheFly.com this morning, even though Orbital left its free cash flow projection unchanged, Argus believes that the stock can grow its cash flow by hitting "milestones" in the second half of the year. The analyst is also looking for Orbital to benefit from increased defense spending in the second half of the year, and into 2018.
Argus finds the stock's valuation compelling enough to justify the new buy rating. But should you agree?
The most important thing: Valuing Orbital ATK stock
I have to admit that I've been a fan of Orbital ATK for some time myself -- but I'm a fan of the company, and not necessarily of the stock. Over the past 12 months, you see, Orbital ATK stock has rocketed 44% in price, but that success now leaves the valuation looking somewhat stretched.
Currently valued at $6.1 billion in market capitalization, Orbital ATK stock costs 22 times trailing earnings, and 17 times the tippety-top of management's projections for 2017 earnings. Valued on its $189 million in trailing free cash flow, Orbital stock is even more richly priced.
Weighed against the company's $7.6 billion in enterprise value, with net debt included, the stock sells for an enterprise value-to-free-cash-flow ratio of more than 40. Even assuming management succeeds in maxing out its free cash flow target of $300 million this year, the EV/FCF drops only down to 25. With analysts on S&P Global Market Intelligence broadly in agreement that Orbital ATK will grow its profits no faster than 10% annually over the next five years, these valuations all look too expensive to me.
Result: I know a lot of Fools will disagree with me on this one, and given the stock's remarkable performance over the past 12 months, they've been right to do so -- but at today's prices, and with today's expectations, I find Orbital ATK stock simply too expensive to justify a buy rating.

Question: Navigating The 'Aisle Of Confusion' To Whiten Your Teeth

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

Walk down the aisle of your local pharmacy or grocery store and you'll be bombarded by a dizzying array of bleaching products, from gels and strips to paint-on bleach.
Cosmetic tooth bleaching is a $3.2 billion global industry, according to market analysts, and it's getting bigger fast. It's easy to see why. Strikingly white, bright smiles dominate TV and social media, and people tend to prefer the bright teeth of youth rather than those that have been yellowed by trauma or age.
But if you decide that you, too, want a brighter smile, it's hard to know where to start.
"I'm a dentist, but I'm also a consumer and I can certainly get confused by all the products," says Ruchi Sahota who practices in Fremont, Calif. A colleague of hers describes the tooth product aisle in stores as the "dental aisle of confusion," because there are so many options. "You can easily get bewildered standing there trying to figure out which option is the best," she says.
The dilemma isn't helped by regulators. Tooth whitening products don't need approval from the Food and Drug Administration before hitting the market, because the agency considers them "cosmetic," a designation that's much more lightly regulated than drugs. And, the FDA says it has not determined that any ingredients contained in currently marketed products are unsafe.
The American Dental Association does offer some guidance in choosing a bleaching product — its ADA seal of acceptance. "The seal is rooted in science," says chemist Jamie Spomer, director of the ADA's seal of acceptance program; she notes that when a manufacturer applies for the seal, an independent panel of dentists analyzes the company's data and sometimes performs studies of their own.
The seal is a "symbol that an independent panel reviewed and approved the product for its safety and effectiveness," Spomer says. Many toothpastes carry the ADA seal. So far only one over-the-counter-bleaching product does — Crest 3D White Glamorous White Whitestrips.
Even so, Sahota says many over-the-counter products that don't carry the seal can still be effective if used as directed. Most cause some tooth sensitivity during the bleaching process, but that goes away once the process is complete, she says. Depending on which product is used, bleaching can take anywhere from two to six weeks.
And, if you're not careful, Sahota says the products can leak onto the gums, causing inflammation and "extra sensitivity" to pressure, temperature and touch.
A safer but more costly option might be to buy a custom-made tray from your dentist, Sahota says. Unlike the one-size-fits-all trays sold over the counter, a dentist makes the tray "just for you" she says.
The tray hugs the teeth and ensures the gel is kept where it should be and is evenly applied. The kits cost about $400; this at-home whitening process can take up to four weeks, depending on how stained the teeth are to begin with. Generally, the trays are worn for one or two hours a day.
If you want an even faster route, you'll have to pay more. Bleaching in the dental office can run more than $1,000, but results are quick and more dramatic. Dentists use bleaching gels that rely on high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (up to 40 percent hydrogen peroxide, compared to a 5 to 6 percent concentration in drugstore kits and a 10 to 15 percent solution in the home-kits from dentists).
So the whole process in the dentist's office can take just an hour or two to complete. And because the peroxide concentrations used there are much higher, the results can be many shades lighter than with take-home kits and over-the-counter products.
An important caveat: Insurance companies consider in-office teeth whitening "cosmetic" so the procedures are almost never covered.
Nonetheless, more Americans are opting for in-office whitening. In 2015, in-office bleaching procedures rose 29 percent over the year before, according to an American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry survey. And there's at least a little evidence that the whiter the smile the more attractive the person – in a 2012 study both men and women said they prefer white teeth when choosing a mate.
But go to the dentist before you start bleaching, says Ada Cooper, a New York City dentist.
"Tooth discoloration can be caused by cavities and other oral problems," she says. "It's more important to maintain healthy teeth."
It's also important to note that not all stains are the same. Some are mostly on the surface of the teeth and come from consuming lots of dark colored liquids like coffee, tea and red wine, as well as foods with vibrant yellow spices like turmeric. The tar and nicotine from cigarettes are also huge culprits. Often surface stains can be diminished by routine brushing, flossing and biannual professional cleaning in the dentist's office.
Unfortunately, there are deeper stains you just can't avoid by being careful about what you eat and drink. These come with aging and years of chewing, which causes millions of tiny cracks in the outer enamel of the tooth. These cracks can fill up with stain. On top of that, the thinning enamel can allow the yellow core of the tooth to become more visible. Grinding teeth at night and brushing too hard can also weaken and thin tooth enamel. Bleaching agents can penetrate these deeper stains and turn the tooth whiter — typically two to seven shades lighter.
There are some discolorations that just can't be bleached away. Trauma to a tooth — such as a chip or break — can also permanently discolor it from the inside, and stains from ingesting the antibiotic tetracycline or large amounts of fluoride are also permanent. In these cases, the only option for whiter teeth is a crown or veneer.
All types of bleaching — whether over-the-counter, take-home kits or in the dental office — are temporary, requiring touch-ups at some point. As for homespun remedies promoted online, in social media and in magazines as being "natural whitening" agents (including charcoal, baking soda or lemon juice), the ADA says there is no evidence these methods work.

Question: Top Democrat Governors Get Stunning Bad News

represent this text to find a news title for it

As politics seem to become more divided throughout the nation, a new controversy has risen as to the number of people leaving Democrat-run states versus those run by Republicans.
As reported by Forbes, the Democratic Governors Association made a slight at Republican Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner through a tweet about the seemingly “mass exodus” of citizens that have left Illinois in favor of other states, attempting to paint a picture of continued “outmigration from the Land of Lincoln.”
“With that tweet, the DGA is trying to make the public dumber,” wrote Forbes contributor Patrick Gleason. “The DGA knows full well that Gov. Bruce Rauner doesn’t run his state.”
Gleason suggested that the true figure presiding over Illinois politics is Democrat House Speaker Mike Madigan, who has overseen for nearly 34 years the decline of the once-great state.
DAILY The Western Journal Daily Email Breaking news updates and daily headlines from a news source you can trust. Facebook
“By attempting to pin Illinois’ continued decline on Gov. Rauner, the DGA is either ignorant about how Illinois politics works, or they are lying,” Gleason added. “Most likely the latter, but either way it’s not good.”
Over the last year, nearly 33,000 Illinois citizens have “fled” Illinois, though Gleason pointed to the fact that the numbers were much worse during Democrat Gov. Pat Quinn’s time in office.
Under Rauner’s predecessor, 247,410 people left the state in favor of those such as North Carolina, Texas, Florida and even Arizona, as they were regarded as “better stewards of taxpayer dollars.”

According to IRS migration data, those 247,410 left for states that were known to be better-run and have lower taxes, taking nearly $13.7 billion with them.
And Gleason suggests that, though the DGA refuses to consider interstate migration data, numbers in other sectors seem only to get worse as governors such as California’s Jerry Brown are scrutinized.
Since his reinstatement as governor in 2011, nearly 243,099 people have fled California in favor of other states, essentially taking with them $7.794 billion with them to those states that don’t have soaring taxes and housing regulations that make living seemingly unaffordable for middle-class households.
Texas and Nevada has been the top two recipients from those moving from the Golden State, and they also happen to be two states that have zero income tax, while California holds the highest top marginal income tax rate in America.

“Policy, like elections, has consequences,” Gleason wrote, adding that both the tax hikes championed by Brown on both corporate and personal income tax might be a main reason for the exodus of Californians.
However, Gleason suggests the cost of living will only further be driven up, as the Golden State was one of the hardest hit after Brown approved an extension of he cap and trade program that was renewed earlier in 2017.
The result will be an even more bruised middle class, who are estimated to face what will essentially be a regressive tax hike as gas prices and utility bills become more exorbitant.
“Cap & trade makes Gov. Brown, Democratic lawmakers who run the state legislature with such large majorities they don’t even feel the need to discipline sexual offenders in their caucus, and their supporters feel good about themselves,” Gleason said.
“But the program doesn’t improve the environment,” he added. “In fact, California, even with its cap & trade program and renewable energy mandate, is home to 8 of the 10 cities with the nation’s worst air pollution.”
Things may even become worse, Gleason suggests, as New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo becomes a 2020 presidential contender, as the Democrat governor has a history of running both employers and families from his state as the cost of living becomes too high to cope.
“People are voting with their feet and we are seeing them vote in favor of states that have more limited government, lower taxes, and more sustainable levels of spending,” Gleason added, who stated the mass exodus of Blue-run states may only increase.
“As such they are leaving states run by Democratic governors and legislatures,” he added. “That’s why it was odd for the DGA to think it a good idea to focus on migration data, as it does not bode well for Democrats.”

Question: Shock, Sadness and Anger After Violent Charlottesville Weekend

A Charlottesville, Virginia rally to keep a Confederate statue and the counter-protest to take it down stunned the country after a car drove into a crowd of counter-protestors, killing Heather Heyer and wounding many others. The violence of the weekend led to counter-protests and vigils condemning racism and white nationalism in cities across the United States. See the reactions
Vice President Mike Pence said there is no tolerance for “white supremacists, neo-Nazis or the KKK,” following a white nationalist rally Saturday in Virginia that erupted in violence and left three people dead and multiple injured.

Jason Kessler, the White supremacist who organized the violent racist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, ran like a coward from a news conference Sunday when confronted by angry protesters who drowned out his remarks.
He was also punched him and tackled into a bush, the New York Daily News reports.
The rally of racists erupted in deadly violence on Saturday when James Fields Jr. rammed a Dodge Challenger into a group of counterprotesters, killing a 32-year-old woman, and injuring an estimated 19 people. Two state troopers policing the rallies also died in a helicopter crash.
Fields is scheduled to appear in court Monday on second-degree murder charges.

Question: Fox Ignored Breaking News That Trump Aides Were In 'Constant' Contact With Russia During Campaign

Tuesday night, news broke that the Donald Trump aides "were in constant touch with senior Russian officials" during the 2016 presidential campaign. Amid growing concerns about Trump's murky ties to Russia, this was significant breaking news. But not to Fox News.
Similar reports broke from both CNN and the New York Times. From The Times:
Phone records and intercepted calls show that members of Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and other Trump associates had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election, according to four current and former American officials. American law enforcement and intelligence agencies intercepted the communications around the same time they were discovering evidence that Russia was trying to disrupt the presidential election by hacking into the Democratic National Committee, three of the officials said. The intelligence agencies then sought to learn whether the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians on the hacking or other efforts to influence the election. The officials interviewed in recent weeks said that, so far, they had seen no evidence of such cooperation. But the intercepts alarmed American intelligence and law enforcement agencies, in part because of the amount of contact that was occurring while Mr. Trump was speaking glowingly about the Russian president, Vladimir V. Putin. At one point last summer, Mr. Trump said at a campaign event that he hoped Russian intelligence services had stolen Hillary Clinton’s emails and would make them public. The officials said the intercepted communications were not limited to Trump campaign officials, and included other associates of Mr. Trump. On the Russian side, the contacts also included members of the government outside of the intelligence services, they said. All of the current and former officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because the continuing investigation is classified.
Coming as this does against the backdrop of the resignation of National Security Advisor Michael Flynn over his conversations with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. before Trump was sworn in, Trump's false claim he didn't know about reports of Flynn's discussions and concerns about Trump's own ties to Russia, this was big news.
But not on Fox News.
NewsHounds' Richard got the screen grabs so I didn't have to. You'll see that both CNN and MSNBC went live with the news. But Fox stayed with a pre-recorded Hannity show:
The story was the same on the networks' web pages:
It's one thing for Fox News to ignore a story that is unflattering to a Republican president. But this story suggests treason may have been committed by someone in or close to the White House. Sure, Fox will get around to reporting and discussing it - probably once the network has decided how to spin it and/or received talking points from the Trump administration. But meanwhile, Fox's silence speaks volumes about where its own loyalties lie.

Question: Lincoln mill CEO would lead early cleanup efforts under EPA’s proposed deal

PORTLAND, Maine — The CEO of the shuttered Lincoln Paper and Tissue mill would oversee some of the initial environmental cleanup at the site under a proposed deal with federal regulators.
The draft agreement from the Environmental Protection Agency lays out plans for mill CEO Keith Van Scotter to oversee contractors removing radioactive materials, asbestos and other hazardous waste from the site.
The proposal calls for removing a range of hazardous chemicals from the property, including waste oil, papermaking chemicals, asbestos and radioactive materials, including cesium-137 and krypton-85, used in industrial sensors.
If the plan gets EPA’s formal endorsement, it will then go to a bankruptcy judge. Once approved by a judge, it calls for the company to complete the initial cleanup within 180 days.
The EPA estimates the initial work will cost about $250,000, based on quotes from local contractors. That’s a tiny fraction of the at least $70 million that the EPA estimates the entire job with cost, primarily because of the need for remediation along the Penobscot River.
The EPA made that estimate more than a year ago based on a study of the site conducted from 1999 to 2003. A state report concluded late last year that asbestos cleanup alone will cost around $16 million at the bankrupt mill’s 38 buildings.
Before asking a bankruptcy court to approve the settlement, the EPA said it will ask for public comments on the proposed deal.
Beyond the cleanup, the settlement could also deliver money to an EPA fund set aside to pay for remediation work. Town officials in March signaled support for designating the property as a federal Superfund cleanup site, but federal officials have not yet proposed its listing, according to the EPA’s website.
If the initial cleanup work costs less than $400,000, the bankruptcy estate for the mill would give the difference to the EPA. The agency also reserves a $1.5 million unsecured claim, meaning that it would be in line with that batch of creditors for any payouts.
And if the bankruptcy estate is able to recover more than $500,000, the deal calls for the EPA to get 25 percent of that excess amount, up to $225,000. The EPA would also get half of any insurance payments for environmental cleanup, in excess of $400,000.
The EPA will also get a $50,000 account the bankrupt mill set aside for the Maine Department of Environmental Protection. In a court filing last week, the EPA wrote that regulators have not yet spent any of the $50,000 fund.
Last year, the agency estimated that updating its earlier study of the site would cost up to $675,000 and that a full investigation of the site to come up with a remediation plan would cost $7 million to $8 million.

An administrative law judge in Minnesota has dealt a setback to a proposed gas-fired power plant in Superior, Wis.
Minnesota Power wants to join with Dairyland Power Cooperative to build the plant, saying it would provide backup for wind energy that the Minnesota utility is adding to its system.
But Judge Jeanne Cochran on Monday recommended that the Public Utilities Commission deny the request, saying Minnesota Power failed to prove the plant is needed. Related Articles Garage inventor re-shapes a boring product into Walmart success story

Question: US states declare emergency ahead of Tropical Storm Nate

Represent this text to find a news title for it

Costa Rica's Judicial Investigation Organism blamed seven deaths in that country on the storm and said 15 people were missing. Flooding drove 5,000 residents into emergency shelters.
In Honduras, there were three dead and three missing, according to Oscar Triminio, spokesman for the country's firefighters.
Damage caused by the storm prompted Costa Rican officials to postpone a World Cup qualifying soccer match between that country and Honduras, which had been scheduled for Friday night.
In Louisiana, Gov. John Bel Edwards declared a state of emergency and mobilized 1,300 National Guard troops, with 15 headed to New Orleans to monitor the fragile pumping system there.
With forecasts projecting landfall in southeast Louisiana as a Category 1 hurricane, Edwards urged residents to ready for rainfall, storm surge and severe winds — and to be where they intend to hunker down by "dark on Saturday."
Louisiana's governor said Nate is forecast to move quickly, rather than stall and drop tremendous amounts of rain on the state. State officials hope that means New Orleans won't run into problems with its pumps being able to handle the water.
Edwards warned, however, against underestimating the storm.
The National Hurricane Center issued a hurricane warning from Grand Isle, Louisiana to the Alabama-Florida border.
Officials ordered the evacuation of part of coastal St. Bernard Parish east of New Orleans ahead of the storm. Earlier Thursday, a voluntary evacuation was called in the barrier island town of Grand Isle south of New Orleans.
New Orleans officials outlined steps to bolster the city's pump and drainage system. Weaknesses in that system were revealed during summer flash floods.
The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement's New Orleans office said in a news release that as of midday Thursday, six production platforms, out of the 737 manned platforms in the Gulf, had been evacuated. No drilling rigs were evacuated, but one movable rig was taken out of the storm's path.
The agency estimated less than 15 per cent of the current oil production in the Gulf of Mexico has been shut-in, which equates to 254,607 barrels of oil per day.
