Question: Theresa May calls snap general election for June 8

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

Prime Minister Theresa May has announced a snap general election.
There was anticipation over the unexpected statement outside Downing Street, which is only used for major announcements.
She will now need to get the backing of two thirds of MPs in the House of Commons tomorrow, Wednesday, to overturn the Fixed Term Parliament Act meaning the next General Election must be 2020.
The Prime Minister used to a statement in Downing Street to set out the case for going back on her previous pledge there would be no election ahead of 2020.
Mrs May said the lack of “unity” in Westminster over the Brexit process was weakening the Government’s negotiating hand with Brussels and meant an election was required.
“We need a General Election and we need one now,” she said.
Explaining the timing, Mrs May said it would coincide with the European Union leaders finalising their Brexit negotiating position and come before full talks begin.
Under the terms of the Fixed Term Parliament Act, MPs will have to vote for an early election in Parliament tomorrow.
Lib Dem leader Tim Farron said: “This election is your chance to change the direction of our country.
“If you want to avoid a disastrous Hard Brexit. If you want to keep Britain in the Single Market. If you want a Britain that is open, tolerant and united, this is your chance.
“Only the Liberal Democrats can prevent a Conservative majority.”
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said he welcomed Mrs May’s announcement because it gave “the British people the chance to vote for a government that will put the interests of the majority first”.
“Labour will be offering the country an effective alternative to a Government that has failed to rebuild the economy, delivered falling living standards and damaging cuts to our schools and NHS. In the last couple of weeks, Labour has set out policies that offer a clear and credible choice for the country. We look forward to showing how Labour will stand up for the people of Britain.”

The pro-EU peer said she would also rather see Home Secretary Amber Rudd or First Secretary of State Damian Green lead the Tories rather than Mrs May. She said she wanted to see a Tory government which would steer clear of a “hard” and “deeply damaging” Brexit before endorsing calls for a second vote on the terms of leaving. Speaking on LBC, Baroness Wheatcroft said: “My sort of Conservative government is a one-nation Tory government, it would not be perusing a hard Brexit, which I think is deeply damaging for everybody in this country in the longer term. “It would be addressing the issues that Mrs May talked about when she made her first speech as Prime Minister.

“There are an awful lot of problems facing this country, not least the NHS, and we’re so bogged down in Brexit now that those issues are going by the board.” She said it would be correct for the Prime Minister to quit her role before the Article 50 deadline in March 2019. “My view is that it will become apparent as we get closer to that deadline that we’re really not making progress towards a sensible deal,” she said. “You will have seen David Miliband this morning calling for a second vote, a vote on the terms, I’ve always believed that that’s what we should have and I think that’s what we need to have and I don’t think that Mrs May will be able to oversee that.

Question: How Will Dr Pepper Snapple Perform In Its First Quarter?

Dr Pepper Snapple is scheduled to release its first quarter results on April 25, wherein a growth in both revenue and earnings is expected. This growth is expected to be driven by higher pricing and increased volumes, besides improvement at Bai Brands. As was the case while declaring the fourth quarter 2017 results, the company will not be hosting a quarterly webcast conference call and slide presentation, but will instead be filing its form 10-Q with the SEC before the market opens on April 25. A proxy filing process related to its previously announced merger transaction with Maple Parent Holdings Corp., which owns Keurig Green Mountain Inc., has been cited as the reason for this.
Trefis
We have a $122 price estimate for Dr Pepper Snapple, which is slightly higher than the current market price. The charts have been made using our new, interactive platform. You can click here to modify the different driver assumptions, and gauge their impact on the earnings and price per share metrics.
Deal With Keurig
JAB Holdings, Keurig’s owner, has acquired a number of coffee brands, such as Jacobs, Peets, Caribou, and Keurig. It has also scooped up Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Panera Bread, Au Bon Pain, among other food and beverage companies. However, being able to deliver these products to places where the consumers shop requires a massive distribution network, and this is where Dr Pepper Snapple will come in. Furthermore, this deal, the biggest in the soft drinks space according to Dealogic, would also result in a hot and cold drinks combination, with immense scale for both. DPS, meanwhile, will benefit from Keurig’s e-commerce capabilities. JAB also has experience in the past of acquiring small brands, and ensuring these fast growth rates continue, an aspect DPS has been working on for Bai. More details regarding the deal can be expected once the proxy filing process is complete.
Bai Brands’ Topsy Turvy Year
DPS completed the Bai brands merger on January 31, 2017, and for the full year (FY 2017), the primary impacts of merger decreased diluted earnings per share in total by $0.26, against an initial estimation of just $0.02. The brand also added to the net sales by 1%, as opposed to the 2 percentage points expected at first. The fact that the purchase of Bai Brands is the first major deal by Dr Pepper Snapple as a standalone company showed in DPS’ uncertainty regarding the brand’s expected financial performance, as the company modified the impact of the purchase on the earnings several times since announcing the acquisition. DPS does not have the experience of buying a smaller brand such as Bai, whose sales are growing at a fast rate. The company has also invested enormously in Bai’s advertising, promotion, and distribution strategy, which has been pressuring the margins.
One factor that could be causing the slow growth of the brand is that earlier the company relied on volume expansion by selling cases to companies such as Costco and Wal-Mart’s Sam’s Club. However, DPS is now focusing on acquiring retail grocery shelf space, where sales are usually more individualized, and not in bulk. The main reason cited for this was the highly promotional environment in such club stores. In the third quarter of 2016, the club channel mix was 31%, which dropped to 26% in Q3 of FY 2017. This strategy should prove to be more fruitful for the company over the long run as it encourages trials and samplings, although, in the short run, its unforeseen impact resulted in an overoptimistic results forecast.

Question: Taylor Swift Remembers Tom Petty’s ‘Complex Simplicity’

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

By Scott T. Sterling
Count Taylor Swift among the countless musicians paying tribute to rock legend Tom Petty in the wake of his death earlier this week.
Related: Bruce Springsteen Remembers Tom Petty: ‘A Long Lost Brother’
Swift spoke to Rolling Stone about Petty’s tremendous influence on her.
“To me, Tom Petty represented a kind of songwriting I idolized: complex simplicity,” she revealed. “It said so much in the lyrics, the concepts, the stories, the message, the nuances … but always brought you back to a hook that got stuck in everyone’s head. He motivated thousands of guitarists to learn to play just because they wanted to be able to play ‘Free Fallin.” Count me as one of them.”
Swift famously covered Petty’s timeless 1977 single, “American Girl,” releasing it as a single and performing it on her Fearless tour in 2009. Check it out below.

Question: Fight animal cruelty with cupcakes

represent this text to find a news title for it

As fundraisers go, this is one of the sweetest around.
And it's for a cause very close to many hearts - mine included. Cupcakes for animal welfare. And the safety and well-being of our forever furry friends.
Raising funds and awareness is as easy as, well - cupcakes! In fact, we're all being encourged to preheat ovens and start baking up a storm for National Cupcake Day, coming up fast Feb. 27, all in order to make - or bake a difference in animals in need.
Now in its fifth year, National Cupcake Day is presented in partnership by the Ontario SPCA and the BC SPCA, and is a collaborative event to support local SPCAs and Humane Societies across Canada.
In 2016, animal lovers across Canada raised over $615,000 in support of their local animal welfare societies.
The campaign has raised $1.85 million to date.
And it really is an easy event to participate in - all you have to do is register to host a National Cupcake Day party and invite co-workers, friends and family. Guests donate to the participating animal welfare charity of the host’s choice in exchange for a cupcake! By doing so, you're raising critically-needed funds for animals that are abused, abandoned, neglected or no longer wanted.
Cupcake Day parties can be held anywhere, and on any date in February.
“National Cupcake Day is fun, delicious and, best of all, it changes the lives of animals that have endured hardship and cruelty,” says celebrity chef Anna Olson, host of the Food Network’s Bake with Anna Olson and official ‘Cupcake Crusader’ for the campaign. “The funds you raise will have a significant impact on the animal welfare societies in your community, ensuring that their life-saving work continues.”
I can't add to that. I'm going to be hosting a cupcake day in my office knowing it's one of the sweetest - and easiest - fundraising events around.
Here are a couple of recipes to get you started. And follow the details on the sidebar if you're interested in hosting your own National Cupcake Day, too.

NASA has said its planet-hunting Kepler space telescope made its latest discovery using machine learning from Google. The discovery will be announced at a media teleconference on December 14, NASA said. NASA has said its planet-hunting Kepler space telescope made its latest discovery using machine learning from Google. The discovery will be announced at a media teleconference on December 14, NASA said. Besides NASA scientists, Christopher Shallue, Senior Software Engineer at Google AI in Mountain View, California, will also attend the briefing. Machine learning is an approach to artificial intelligence and demonstrates new ways of analysing Kepler data. NASA’s Kepler space telescope has gazed at more than 150,000 stars and continues to transmit back data that leads to important discoveries of celestial objects in our galaxy, including first-time observations of planets outside our solar system. When Kepler launched in March 2009, scientists did not know how common planets were beyond the solar system. Thanks to Kepler’s treasure trove of discoveries, astronomers now believe there may be at least one planet orbiting every star in the sky.
Kepler completed its prime mission in 2012 and went on to collect data for an additional year in an extended mission. In 2014, the spacecraft began a new extended mission called K2, which continues the search for planets outside the solar system, known as exoplanets, while introducing new research opportunities to study young stars, supernovae and other cosmic phenomena.

This week on Stargazer, in addition to things to try and spot in our dark island skies, we learn about a new discovery from the Hubble Space Telescope relating to an atmosphere on a distant planet in the solar system as HPR All Things Considered Host Dave Lawrence speaks with Christopher Phillips.

Question: Peru authorities order arrest of two suspects in B.C. man’s killing

Represent this text to find a news title for it.

On Monday, officials backed away from reports that he was the principal suspect.
Canadian Sebastian Woodroffe who travelled to Peru to study hallucinogenic medicine was killed by a mob in a remote corner of the Amazon rain forest. Facebook photo
Peru’s attorney general has ordered the arrest of two suspects in the killing of a Vancouver Island man who travelled to the Amazon rainforest to study hallucinogenic medicine, officials said Monday.
Authorities said over the weekend that a mob dragged Sebastian Woodroffe by the neck to his death shortly after people accused him of killing Olivia Arevalo, an octogenarian plant healer from the Shipibo-Konibo tribe of northeastern Peru.
Prosecutors said Monday the two suspects were identified in a video shot on a cellphone showing the moment Woodroffe, who was 41, was killed last week.
Officials said forensic experts were studying Woodroffe’s body to determine whether he had any involvement in Arevalo’s killing, as was initially suggested. On Monday, officials backed away from reports that he was the principal suspect.
Arevalo and Woodroffe were both killed Thursday in the Indigenous community of Victoria Gracia, officials said. But police did not begin to investigate until a cellphone video appeared in local media showing a man purported to be Woodroffe begging for mercy while being dragged between thatch-roofed homes. He was then left motionless on the muddy ground.
On Saturday, officials dug up Woodroffe’s body from an unmarked grave where he had been hastily buried.
Global Affairs Canada spokeswoman Brianne Maxwell said Monday the department was aware of the case and had been in touch with the man’s family and Peruvian officials but no further information would be provided due to privacy concerns.
Every year thousands of foreign tourists travel to the Peruvian Amazon to experiment with ayahuasca — a bitter, dark-coloured brew made of a mixture of native plants.
The hallucinogenic cocktail, also known as yage, has been venerated for centuries by indigenous tribes in Brazil, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia as a cure for all sorts of ailments. It’s also increasingly consumed by Western tourists looking for mind-altering experiences, sometimes with deadly consequences.
Arevalo was a staunch defender of Indigenous people’s rights in the region. She also practised a traditional form of singing medicine that the Shipibo believe removes negative energies from individuals.
Woodroffe, who was from Cumberland on Vancouver Island, said before going to Peru that he hoped an apprenticeship with a plant healer from the Shipibo tribe would help his goal of changing careers to become an addiction counsellor using hallucinogenic medicine.
“A recent family intervention for a relative with an alcohol addiction has opened my eyes to what I should be doing for work,” he wrote on the Indiegogo crowd-funding website seeking financial help to advance his studies.
“The plant medicine I have the opportunity of learning is far deeper than ingesting a plant and being healed. It is not about getting ‘high’ either. It is true some of the plants I will be learning about do have a perception-altering effect, but these are a few plants out of thousands I will be working with,” he said.
Friends of Woodroffe have posted messages of condolences on social media pages, and Woodroffe’s Facebook profile has changed to ‘Remembering Sebastian Woodroffe.’
Yarrow Willard, a close friend of Woodroffe, said in a Facebook message he was a loving father and kind man, “who was not capable of the crimes he was accused of.”
Friend Brodie Dawson echoed Willard’s statement.
“(Sebastian) was well-loved in the community and he was a sweet and loving person, and … this was very out of character for him,” she noted.

Question: The Perplexing Psychology Of Saving For Health Care

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

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

Question: Why one Chick-fil-A owner is raising wages to $17 an hour

represent the article to find a fitting news title

Fast food jobs pay some of the lowest wages in the country, giving workers little reason to stick around if they get a better offer and proving costly to employers who need to find people to replace them.
In California, one Chick-fil-A franchisee says he’s trying to break the cycle.
Eric Mason, who for the last three years has owned a Chick-fil-A off the highway near the Sacramento airport, says that next week he’ll start hiring “hospitality professionals” starting at $17 an hour, up from the $12 to $13 an hour he pays now.
“When we go to the living wage, we’re looking for people who are trying to raise families, improve their lifestyle,” he told ABC10 News on May 26. “Maybe they could just work one job, and then it’s sustainable. What that does for the business is provide consistency, someone that has relationships with our guests. It’s going to be building a long-term culture.”
Mason’s marketing manager Marena Weisman confirmed to CNNMoney that the franchise would be hiring between 35 and 45 people at the new rate, for work in both the front and the back of the house, and that all current employees are encouraged to apply for the positions.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, fast food cooks in the Sacramento area make an average of $11.42 an hour, about a dollar higher than the national level.
Even though California’s minimum wage is currently $11 an hour, and will rise steadily to $15 by 2022, Mason’s $5 jump is unusual.
“All responsible employers are preparing for the impact of the increasing minimum wage, but they are usually doing it over time and planning for it,” says Carey Klosterman, director of research and compensation services at the California Employers Association.
One reason why: Even employees making just a little bit more than the minimum wage tend to expect raises too. So if employers raise wages too quickly, it can get expensive.
“While increasing the wage to this level at a fast food restaurant is commendable, I don’t foresee that many businesses will likely be following in their footsteps,” Klosterman says.
Such big hikes in wages are also especially rare in franchised industries, where the headquarters often charges steep royalties and controls many aspects of the operation — including prices and promotions. That can make life difficult for franchisees in areas with higher fixed costs like wages.
“If you’re in a territory where labor is much higher than the rest of the country, you could be underwater,” says Peter Lagarias, an attorney for franchisees based in San Rafael, California. “When these kinds of pressures all build up, you can understand that franchisees are hurting.”
Lagarias hasn’t seen the franchise agreement for Chick-fil-A, which is relatively new to California, so it’s not clear whether an owner-operator could pass along increased labor costs by charging higher prices. Chick-fil-A is unusual in that each owner is limited to one store apiece, which keeps them more involved in day-to-day operations.
A spokeswoman from Chick-fil-A’s corporate office said only that local operators make their own hiring and wage decisions.
However, Mason’s strategy could pay off in the long run.
Research has shown that raising wages can reduce turnover, which in the restaurant industry can be as high as 100% per year. Each time a worker leaves, it costs the restaurant owner money because they then have to fill the shift with someone else.
Mason is also correct to point out that many low-wage workers have to hold down multiple jobs at a time in order to survive, and that full-time work at a livable wage is something many would try hard to keep.
“The reason people leave low wage jobs is that they’re trying to find something just a little bit better,” says Sylvia Allegretto, a labor economist at the University of California, Berkeley.
At $17 an hour, Mason’s “hospitality professional” positions could be practically immune from turnover.
“You’re going to try very hard to get that job, and you’re going to be a very good, diligent productive worker,” Allegretto says. “Because if you lose that job, your next job will be back down close to the minimum wage.”
That may position Mason’s store to succeed in what’s rapidly become a job seekers’ market. Sacramento’s unemployment rate tracks the national average, which is currently 3.9%. That’s the lowest rate it’s been since 2000 and it’s expected to keep dropping through 2018.
A $17 wage would also allow Mason to be picky with the people he hires, and according to a job description, those expectations are high.
A successful applicant, it reads, “must love to smile & connect with people, make eye contact & speak enthusiastically” and “makes working hard and delivering high standards look easy and effortless, enabling others to be efficient and effortless as well.”

A large group of protesters made up of fast food, home care and child care workers and organizers take over the intersection of 98th Avenue and International Boulevard on Tuesday, Nov. 29. The protest was part of a national day of action to bring the minimum wage up to $15 per hour. Minimum wage rates are increasing for cities around the Bay Area on the first day of the new year, bringing with them the continued debate over whether they're an effective means of addressing the region's housing-affordability crisis, or an undue burden on businesses trying to stay competitive.

Question: Snooping mom discovers secret stash

Dear Amy: I was snooping in my son's basement and discovered he is growing weed. Should I confront him? He could lose his job, house, reputation and shared custody of his daughter.
I am a nervous wreck thinking about how to approach him. My husband would have a stroke if he found out. I know I should do something, but what?
-- Sad Mom
Dear Sad: Here's what you should do: Stop snooping in your son's basement.
Unless he has a sophisticated commercial marijuana ranch down there, you should assume this is for his own use, and leave it alone.
If you absolutely cannot stand it and must confront him about this, you will have to tell him the truth about your own behavior. One natural consequence of your admission would be for him to stop trusting you.
If you are ready to make this sacrifice, you should only urge him not to expose his child to his marijuana growing and weed use. Obviously, if you found this in the basement, so could she, and this would put his daughter in an even worse position than you are in, because involving her in this sort of secret could be ruinous for their relationship, and disastrous down the line.
State laws regarding marijuana cultivation seem to be quite convoluted. If he doesn't have a license to grow and is caught (by someone other than you) the consequences could be extreme in proportion to his crime.
Dear Amy: My daughter, 9, is in Girl Scouts. She loves it. I offer a lot of my time helping out the troop. Today, they went to an ice show in which the troop paid for the tickets, so this was not an out-of-pocket expense for us.
The parents were asked to either provide a snack for their daughters, or send money for the girls to buy a snack. We opted to send a snack instead of sending money, as we struggle financially.
Once they got there, they realized that you can't bring snacks in to the facility (understandable), so one of the troop leaders purchased popcorn buckets for each girl.
All the other girls brought money and were able to purchase their own drinks to go with the popcorn.
My daughter did not have any money with her, so her troop leader bought her a drink with a souvenir cup. My daughter thinks it cost around $15. I emailed the troop leaders and asked how much the souvenir/drink was and offered to reimburse them for it.
I felt like this was the right thing to do. However, my husband disagrees. He feels as though I shouldn't have offered, since we basically followed their initial instructions.
I know this is a small problem but every time someone purchases something on my kids' behalf without us asking, I feel obligated to at least offer to reimburse them when I have the funds. I know they can answer, "No -- don't worry about it." Am I wrong for offering to reimburse the troop leader? Or is my husband right?
-- Confused Girl Scout Mom
Dear Confused: You did the right thing. These troop leaders volunteer their time to help supervise the girls, and in addition to spending their time, they willingly spend money on all sorts of little (and large) things along the way. It was kind of this troop leader to purchase this treat for your daughter. You can assume that she did so very happily and does not expect to be reimbursed, since this was an unanticipated expense.
Of course you should acknowledge this and (if you're able) offer to reimburse her. You can expect her to turn down your offer, but your gesture is a nice way of acknowledging her kindness without making specific assumptions. She was being nice, and now you will be nice in return. That is the social contract your husband doesn't seem to understand.
Dear Amy: The man signing his letter "No Prior Precedent" described his wife's adult biological daughter, who she had surrendered for adoption at birth, entering their lives as an adult and wanting her biological mother to readopt her.
It is quite obvious that this person wants money. Once she is legally their child, she stands to inherit their money.
-- Seeing the Obvious
Dear Obvious: State laws differ, but generally children do not have an automatic right to inherit. And the prospect of inheritance does not always motivate people seeking a relationship with their parents.

Question: Curry, Durant committed to keeping Golden State on top

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

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Stephen Curry will likely go from being the NBA’s biggest bargain to signing the richest contract in the league at more than $200 million. And he looks forward to the nice payday.
Yet the two-time reigning MVP and new NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant said Wednesday they would seriously consider less money to keep the core of the champion Golden State Warriors intact.
Two days after capturing the franchise’s second title in three years against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Warriors prepared to part ways for what will be a busy offseason for general manager Bob Myers and the front office.
Durant hinted he would opt out of a deal that pays him the maximum he can get in order to help Golden State’s chances of re-signing Andre Iguodala or Shaun Livingston.

“With inflation picking up from low levels, we cannot expect current monetary stimulus to last forever”.
- Valdis Dombrovskis, European Commission
On Monday, the European Commission released its latest set of economic forecasts, suggesting that the Brexit vote and elections in Germany and France would have a significant impact on the Euro zone economy. The latest estimates suggest the region’s economy is likely to expand 1.6% in 2017, following the preceding year’s growth pace of 1.7%. However, it is highly expected to regain footing in 2018, growing at an annualized pace of 1.8%. Back in November, the Commission estimated the Euro zone’s economy would grow 1.5% this year and 1.7% in 2018. The region’s largest economy, Germany, is set to expand 1.6% in 2017, down from 1.9% in 2016. Meanwhile, economic growth is expected to climb from 1.2% to 1.4% in France, and keep steady at 0.9% in Italy. The key reason for the upward revisions to the forecasts was stronger than expected performance in the second half of 2016. The Commission also revised up its forecasts for the UK economy, despite the Brexit vote. The British economy is set to expand 1.5% in 2017 and 1.2% in 2018, compared to a 2% growth pace in 2016. In November, it said the economy would expand just 1% in 2017. The 2018-year growth forecast remained unchanged. In 2016, the British economy outperformed all other G7 economies. The Commission also said inflation would hit 1.7% this year but drop to 1.4% in 2018.

“The fact that the economy grew a fourth straight quarter on the back of exports should be considered a passing mark for policymakers”.
- Hidenobu Tokuda, Mizuho Research Institute
Japan’s economy expanded for the fourth consecutive quarter in the three-month period to December 2016 amid higher exports supported by the weak Yen. Figures released on Monday showed Japan’s economy grew at an annualized pace of 1.0% in the Q4, following the preceding quarter’s downwardly revised pace of 0.3% and falling behind analysts’ expectations for a 0.3% expansion. Economic growth in the Q4 was mainly driven by stronger exports, which offset weak domestic demand. Last week, during a meeting with the Japanese PM Shinzo Abe, the US President Donald Trump accused Japan of using its monetary policy to weaken the Yen and benefit from it. The US Dollar rebounded sharply in the weak of the US 2016 presidential election, rising above 118 versus the Yen and rebounding from its October low of 101. Monday’s data showed external demand contributed 0.2% to GDP in the Q4, with exports climbing 2.6%, the strongest growth in two years, while private consumption showed no growth, meeting analysts’ projections. Meanwhile, housing investment advanced 0.2%, the slowest growth in four quarters, whereas capital expenditure jumped 0.9%, following a 0.3% drop in the previous quarter. The data also showed the GDP deflator, another measure of inflation, declined 0.1% in the past quarter, marking its second quarterly decline.

Question: Forget Tough Passwords: New Guidelines Make It Simple

Represent the article to find a fitting news title:

Here's what we've been told about passwords:
Make them complicated.
Use numbers, question marks and hash marks.
Change them regularly.
Use different passwords for each app and website.
Of course, these guidelines often leave users frustrated and struggling to remember them all.
Now, the National Institute of Standards and Technology is about the make all of our lives much easier. The organization recently revised its guidelines on creating passwords, and the new advice sharply diverges from previous rules.
"The traditional guidance is actually producing passwords that are easy for bad guys and hard for legitimate users," says Paul Grassi, senior standards and technology adviser at NIST, who led the new revision of guidelines.
The organization suggests keeping passwords simple, long and memorable. Phrases, lowercase letters and typical English words work well, Grassi tells NPR's Audie Cornish. Experts no longer suggest special characters and a mixture of lower and uppercase letters. And passwords never need to expire.
"We focus on the cognitive side of this, which is what tools can users use to remember these things?" Grassi says. "So if you can picture it in your head, and no one else could, that's a good password."
While these rules may seem suspiciously easy, Grassi says these guidelines help users create longer passwords that are harder for hackers to break. And he says the computer security industry in both the public and private sectors has received these new rules positively.
"It works because we are creating longer passwords that cryptographically are harder to break than the shorter ones, even with all those special character requirements," Grassi says. "We are really bad at random passwords, so the longer the better."
Previously, security experts recommended the use of password manager apps to ensure users' accounts were protected. Grassi says these apps are useful because they completely randomize the password, but he says they aren't necessary to maintain security.
Grassi stands by these new guidelines because he says previous tips for passwords impacted users negatively and did not do much to boost security. When users change their passwords every 90 days, they often aren't dramatically changing the password, Grassi says.
"I'm pretty sure you're not changing your entire password; you're shifting one character," he says. "Everyone does that, and the bad guys know that."

Question: Tanzania: How Children Can Grow Up to Be Millionaires - Expert

Dar es Salaam — The UTT Asset Management and Investment Services (UTT Amis) has debunked the theory that creating big investors is only through getting big bank loans for investment.
UTT has shown that through compounding interest children from ordinary households can be millionaires when they are aged over 20. UTT marketing and public relations director Daud Mbaga yesterday told The Citizen that Tanzanians should understand that investing in UTT has the benefit of compounding interest and create future millionaires.
"When one invests in any of our five products has a chance of being a millionaire through compounding interest calculations."
When a father or mother starts investing or saving Sh220,000 for his or her child aged five in the coming 25 years the child will have an investment of at least Sh20.9 million taking into account the fact that the interest is 20 per cent.
"When the same amount remains in the UTT for more than five years, the earnings can rise up to more than Sh100 million," he insists.
"This figure of accrued collective investment schemes under UTT can easily be proved through downloading a compounding interest calculator from your smartphone on the website."
Business consultant Gilbert Komba defines compounding interest as medium- and long-term investment in which interest is added to the principal of a deposit or loan so that the added interest also earns interest from it. "It is interest over interest. Imagine, you invest a certain amount of money under an agreed period of time; and when you want to withdraw it you get interest with added interest," he says.
Normally, interest rates provided by the funds that are owned by UTT are between 10 to 20 per cent. But its unit value is sometimes higher and sometimes low, depending on time spent in saving and the prevailing risks, Mr Mbaga clarifies.

Question: Benzie County School Board Approves Decision to Close Platte Riv - Northern Michigan's News Leader

represent the article to find a fitting news title:

“Hopefully as a district we can work together to make that transition easier for the kids one school to another,” said Julie Sullivan.
Benzie Central parents are looking toward the future after a difficult school board decision on Monday night.
School board members unanimously approved Superintendent Matt Olson's recommendation to consolidate two of their elementary schools.
Platte River Students will move to Crystal Lake Elementary and the Platte River Elementary building will be repurposed.
Benzie Central faces a $300,000 budget deficit and closing Platte River could save the district almost $250,000.
It's a plan that parents and the community have been discussing with the school board, who made their decision on Monday night.
“We will be pulling our kids out of the school. I will definitely be pulling my kids out of the school,” said Belinda Keyes and Bridget Suchorski.
The auditorium at Benzie Central Middle School was filled with mixed emotions after the school board made the difficult decision to merge two of their schools.
"It was a very, very tough decision for the whole board as you well heard. It's nice to have it behind us simply because now we can move forward for the future of Benzie Central Schools," said Doug Taylor, president of the Benzie County School Board.
Several meetings and countless hours of research went into making the decision. Board members believe it's the best route to close the gap on their budget deficit.
“I'm sorry they're upset and it was a difficult thing to do but ultimately the board felt looking at all the parameters that we had to deal with, that this was the best decision for our school district and for the children of our school district," said Taylor.
Not having enough space for more kids, students’ safety, and the condition of Crystal Lake Elementary are just a few of the concerns parents had.
“It was perfect for 150 kids, next fall it’s going to be 300 or more. That’s not going to be so perfect,” said Keyes. “And I just don’t understand how they are going to get all those little kids, to get in there, and eat lunch, in that little crowded place.”
The superintendent will now begin putting a plan together for the consolidation for the 2017-2018 school year.

Question: Rumor the German shepherd wins best in show at Westminster

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

NEW YORK (AP) — Quite a rally for Rumor — a commanding comeback for German shepherds, too.
Rumor was crowned America’s top dog Tuesday night when, a year after a near miss on the very same green carpet, she came out of retirement to win best in show at the Westminster Kennel Club.
Cheered loudly all around the ring by a packed crowd at Madison Square Garden, she’s just the second German shepherd champion at the event that began in 1877.
“Unbelievable,” handler and co-owner Kent Boyles said.
In a year that’s seen lots of late, startling twists in sports — think Patriots, Cubs and Cavaliers — Rumor pulled something of a shocker. She’d been at home in Wisconsin for months, a house pet headed toward having puppies, when she suddenly jumped back into the show ring in January.
Boyles is a fan of the Packers and star quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Seeing a pet go from the couch to this top prize, heck, that’s a dog world Hail Mary.
The 5-year-old Rumor beat out a Norwegian elkhound, a Pekingese, a miniature poodle, an Irish setter, a boxer and a Norwich terrier in the final ring. The Irish setter called Adrian finished second.
“The German shepherd standard talks about quality and nobility,” judge Thomas Bradley III said. “When you recognize it, it hits you at home, and that’s what it really is. She is just magnificent.”
Rumor is named for the hit song “Rumor Has It” by Adele, a champion herself after sweeping the major categories at the Grammy Awards on Sunday.
This was the 104th career win for Rumor, and earlier in the day, Boyles said that this would definitely, for real, be her last major show.
“She’s going to be relaxing for a while,” Boyles said after the win, but ultimately, there are “puppies in her future.”
Clearly the crowd favorite, Rumor came out flying into the best-of-seven final ring to fans whistling and calling her name.
Rumor raised up for a well-deserved treat right after the win. Moments later, as Boyles did post-show interviews, Rumor spotted him and ran toward the man who guided her to victory.
Rumor joined the fittingly named Manhattan in 1987 as the only German shepherds to go best in show at the Garden.
There were nearly 2,800 dogs entered in the 141st Westminster canine competition, spread across the 202 eligible breeds and varieties.
The moment any German shepherd steps into the ring at the Garden, the crowd goes crazy.
New Yorkers just love ’em.
Some say it’s because rooting for a German shepherd is the same as putting on an NYPD or FDNY hat, standing up for a dog that stood tall at a time of the city’s greatest need.
“My sentiments, exactly,” Boyles said.
While German shepherds hadn’t won a lot here, many of them were on the green carpet of the center ring in 2002 when Westminster honored search and rescue dogs for their tireless work at the World Trade Center and Pentagon following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The solemn tribute is considered by many the most cherished memory ever at Westminster.
“They’re loyal, dependable dogs that you can count on,” Boyles said.
Rumor nearly won Westminster last year. She came to town as the nation’s No. 1 show dog with more than 100 overall ribbons but was beaten in a surprise by a German shorthaired pointer named CJ.
In fact, when the judge began to announce his champion pick with “German sh…,” Boyles took a step forward, anticipating the prize.
“I was thinking,” Boyles said.
That was supposed to be Rumor’s last show, and she was set to head home with Boyles to Edgerton, Wisconsin, to be a house pet and have puppies. She didn’t conceive and late in the year, Boyles thought twice about Rumor’s retirement.
“She liked to show and was in good shape, so we thought, why not?” he said.
Rumor went back on the circuit in January for 10 shows. She won the herding group Monday night at the Garden, beating top show favorite Preston the puli.
She topped that with the ultimate win at America’s most prestigious dog show, rewarding the faith German shepherd fans always show in them.
“It’s a recognizable dog, people have liked them for a long, long time,” WKC President Sean McCarthy said earlier. “I think it goes back to Rin Tin Tin.”

The Westminster Dog Show began 140 years ago, and now for the first time we go behind-the-scenes access to the months leading up to Best in Show.

Question: Flu season peaking in Vanderburgh Co. - Tri-State News, Weather & Sports

Doctors in Vanderburgh County said this has been a flu season for the books.
St. Vincent Urgent Care Physician, John Myers said, "I think the flu season has kind of peaked quite frankly. For awhile we were tangled up in flu."
Doctor's Offices across the county have been packed with a steady flow of flu patients for months.
"Our culture I think people are pride if they can work while being sick and that sort of works against the flu because people work when they're sick and more people get sick," said Dr. Myers.
The Vanderburgh County Health Department said they are working on preventative measures in the community. Lynn Herr with the health department said, "Agencies including churches look to us to how they handle things just as simple as in the churches of sharing handshakes and around communion time."
The county cannot report the number of deaths until it reaches five or more.
"Currently we know that in Indiana we've had 107 deaths and about 79 percent of those have been of those individuals that are greater than the age of 65," said Herr.
One of the ways doctors are working to reduce the number of days the flu lasts is through Tamiflu, a drug causing some controversy for its side effects but doctors say its a case by case basis.
"Children can be hallucinating, have some other psychiatric problems," said Myers.
Deaconess said they were isolating 40-50 patients daily who were diagnosed with the virus, but that trend changed this week with only 20 people a day being isolated. Despite those numbers decreasing, local hospitals still have visitation restrictions in place.

Question: After failure of SC nuke plant, backers seek federal aid

WASHINGTON — Proponents of nuclear power are pushing to revive a failed project to build two reactors in South Carolina, arguing that the demise of the $14 billion venture could signal doom for an industry that supplies one-fifth of the nation's electricity.
Even though the nation's 99 commercial nuclear reactors supply about 20 per cent of U.S. electricity, no new nuclear plant has been built from scratch in more than 30 years. Supporters were alarmed when two South Carolina utilities halted construction on a pair of reactors that once were projected to usher in a new generation of nuclear power to provide reliable, cost-effective, carbon-free electricity for decades.
Instead the project was plagued by billions of dollars in cost overruns, stagnant demand for electricity, competition from cheap natural gas and — most importantly — the bankruptcy of Westinghouse Electric, the lead contractor.
The July 31 suspension of the partly completed V.C. Summer project near Columbia, South Carolina, leaves two nuclear reactors under construction in Georgia as the only ones being built in the U.S. The collapse of the nearly decade-old project in South Carolina could cost ratepayers billions for work that ultimately provides no electricity and could signal that new nuclear plants are impossible to complete in the United States.
"These reactors failing would be the end of a nuclear renaissance before it even started," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.
Graham and other lawmakers from both parties are urging Congress to extend a production tax credit that would provide billions of dollars to the South Carolina project and the two Georgia reactors. The House approved an extension in June, and Graham is pushing for a Senate vote after Congress returns from its August recess.
"I'm mad as hell that you spend all this money and you can't get it done," Graham said.
The Vogtle plant in Georgia faces similar economic and competitive threats, including the Westinghouse bankruptcy. The plant's operator, Atlanta-based Southern Co., has said it will decide in coming weeks whether to finish the two reactors, which are years behind schedule and billions of dollars above projected costs.
Southern CEO Tom Fanning said the project "goes beyond economics" to affect national security.
"If you want a world safe from nuclear proliferation," construction of nuclear plants "is how we maintain nuclear technology," said Rich Powell, executive director of ClearPath, a conservative-leaning clean energy group.
Besides the production tax credit, nuclear supporters want the extension of an Energy Department loan guarantee program that has helped Vogtle and other energy projects secure funding. Vogtle received an $8.3 billion loan guarantee under the Obama administration — the largest ever issued by the loan program and a deal that some critics say could end up biting taxpayers.
"We've said it for eight years: These massive nuclear reactor projects were doomed from the start, and taxpayer money should not be risked on them," said Ryan Alexander, president of Taxpayers for Common Sense, a watchdog group.
The Summer plant did not receive a loan guarantee, but the parent company of South Carolina Electric & Gas, one of the utilities building it, tried to get a federal grant worth up to $3 billion before abandoning the project. SCANA CEO Kevin Marsh said he and other executives had "very direct discussions" with the White House and Energy Department, including Energy Secretary Rick Perry, and "explained the need for support for these projects because of the national security interest."

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.

Question: White Supremacist Site Is Banned By GoDaddy After Virginia Rally

The Daily Stormer, a neo-Nazi website that promoted the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Va., will no longer be hosted by GoDaddy, after the service received calls to ban the site over its hate-filled stories.
The Daily Stormer is now seen as trying to spin the threat of being taken down, posting a story that claims to be written by hackers affiliated with the activist group Anonymous. That story includes a threat to delete the site within 24 hours. But a main source of news about Anonymous says the group doesn't seem to be involved.
The dispute over the website comes after a violent weekend in Charlottesville culminated in the killing of Heather Heyer, 32, an anti-white nationalist protester. Police say James Alex Fields Jr., 20, killed Heyer when he drove his car into a crowd of people.
The Daily Stormer then published a story mocking Heyer and making light of the events in Virginia, prompting calls for GoDaddy, which hosts the site, to take it down.
Posting a link to the offending story, women's rights advocate Amy Siskind wrote via Twitter, "@GoDaddy you host The Daily Stormer — they posted this on their site. Please retweet if you think this hate should be taken down & banned."
More than 6,500 people retweeted that message, and the web service replied late Sunday night: "We informed The Daily Stormer that they have 24 hours to move the domain to another provider, as they have violated our terms of service."
In the story on the Daily Stormer, the purported hackers said they'll delete the site by the same deadline set by GoDaddy. But in a break with notable hacking takeovers, the story didn't appear as a message plastered on the front of the site; instead, it was published alongside other pieces, including the one about Heyer.
The Daily Stormer was founded by Andrew Anglin, who also writes much of its most high-profile content; the site is supported by reader donations rather than by advertising.
The alleged hackers' message included the hashtag #TANGODOWN — a term that was quickly used by opponents of the site's views to celebrate its seeming demise. News organizations around the world ran stories about the apparent takeover, which had included the explanation, "this evil cannot be allowed to stand."
But a Twitter account that often relays news about Anonymous states, "We have no confirmation that 'Anonymous' is involved yet. Looks more like a DS stunt. Wonder if they are having issues finding a new host."
Referring to the all-caps message posted on the site — about an elite team targeting Anglin and his site — the account states, "We find claim that it took a 'UNITED FORCE OF ELITE HACKERS' to hack a CMS run by amateurs incredibly amusing."
People commenting on the Daily Stormer site also found the situation amusing, noting that the supposed hackers had said they had located Anglin and would be "sending our allies in Lagos to pay him a visit in person."
"LOL, this meme just won't end," one person wrote about the Lagos reference.
Earlier this year, Anglin's website was linked to an office in Worthington, Ohio, the Columbus suburb where he went to high school. As Columbus Alive reported, "Anglin's current whereabouts remain unknown."
The most popular response on the comment board was one that mocked people on Twitter who had announced the Daily Stormer had been taken over.
"Anglin you are a legend," one person wrote.
