Question: Why Canseco, McGwire, Montana are (sort of) making comebacks

Represent this text to find a news title for it

Talk about some blasts from the past, Jose Canseco, Mark McGwire and Joe Montana took center stage recently, brought back into our consciousness by another group making a comeback of sorts.
The Lonely Island, the renowned comedy music troupe from Berkeley, headlined by ex-Saturday Night Live performer Andy Samberg, dressed up as the former Bay Area stars while debuting new rap songs about them.
The group, perhaps best known for their Grammy-nominated video Im on a Boat, played their song about the As Bash Brothers for the first time Sunday in Pasadena.
Although its NSFW, its definitely worth a watch, if for no other reason than its catchy lyrics and spot-on portrayal of the former As stars personalities by Samberg and Akiva Schaffer.

Plus, watching someone impersonate Canseco may be a tad more exciting than seeing what the real man is doing these days.
In keeping with their Bay Area roots, they also presented Jorma Taccone in an ode to Montana.

Question: Heat claims six in Montreal: health officials

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

Montreal health officials are blaming the heavy heat and humidity for at least six deaths in recent days.
Dr. Mylene Drouin told a news conference today the deaths have been investigated and are linked directly to the heat wave.
Drouin says the victims fit the profile of people authorities describe as at risk: those with chronic illness or mental-health problems, people who live alone and people without air conditioning at home.
She says there has also been a rise in the number of calls to ambulance services in recent days and that the city wants to avoid what happened in 2010, when intense heat claimed 106 lives.
In the Eastern Townships region southeast of Montreal, four deaths are under investigation to determine if they are related to the extreme heat. Authorities were expected to provide more details on Wednesday morning.
The oppressive weather has enveloped much of Central and Eastern Canada since the Canada Day long weekend.
Environment Canada says humidex readings were to be in the 40 Celsius range today from southwestern and northeastern Ontario through southern Quebec and into the Atlantic region.
The weather agency says a "very warm and humid air mass" has settled over the Maritimes and above normal temperatures and humid conditions will stick around into Thursday. Maritime temperatures are expected to return to seasonal normals for the weekend.
A hot and humid air mass is also entrenched over southern Quebec, with Tuesday's highs expected to be in the low 30s with a humidex reading between 35 and 40 C, also through Thursday.
Southern Quebec was rocked by violent storms on Monday, leaving thousands of homes and businesses without electricity, or air conditioning. Most of the outages were in the Outaouais region of western Quebec in addition to areas north and northeast of Montreal.

Question: Lack of ‘green’ energy is a threat

By Chao Wen-heng 趙文衡
Department heads from Apple Inc’s environmental policy office recently visited the Ministry of Economic Affairs to convey the company’s desire that its Taiwanese suppliers switch to 100 percent renewable energy sources.
This bombshell request from Apple can be traced back to its announcement in September last year that it was joining the RE100 — an important international initiative on renewable energy. Corporations that join the RE100 commit themselves to getting all the electricity for their global operations from renewable sources.
Alongside Apple, major international corporations that have joined the initiative include Alphabet Inc (Google), HP Inc, Microsoft Corp, Facebook Inc, IKEA, Wal-Mart Stores Inc, BMW AG, General Motors Co, Nike Inc and Royal Philips NV. Two-thirds of Fortune 100 companies have already pledged to switch over to 100 percent renewable energy.
The Apple executives said that they would not stop placing orders with excellent Taiwanese manufacturers, such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC), if they do not manage to use 100 percent renewable energy. However, some overseas news media have reported that if Apple’s suppliers do not pledge to adopt renewable energy, the US firm might no longer be able to work with them.
Whether that is true or not, the question of whether a supplier can achieve 100 percent use of “green” energy is definitely becoming an important factor for Apple and other big corporations when they decide where to place their orders. Taiwanese manufacturers cannot afford to take any chances. They must keep up with this international trend if they are to survive.
Apple’s Chinese suppliers, which compete with those in Taiwan, achieved the requirement of 100 percent renewable energy use some time ago, while Taiwan’s development of “green” energy has hardly got off the ground. This gives Chinese manufacturers an advantage when major international corporations choose their suppliers.
Taiwan’s supply of “green” energy is far from adequate. At present, it only accounts for 4 percent of the nation’s total electricity supply. TSMC alone uses 3 percent of all the nation’s electricity, which is equal to the lion’s share of the nation’s “green energy.”
A large majority of Taiwanese manufacturers export at least some of their products, with the manufacturing sector consuming 53 percent of the nation’s electricity. Assuming all Taiwanese manufacturers were to face demands from major global corporations and other importers that they use 100 percent “green” energy, that means 53 percent of the nation’s power supply would have to come from renewables. That is much higher than the government’s target of 20 percent renewable energy by 2025 and major international corporations are probably not prepared to wait that long anyway.
Taiwan’s lack of “green” energy could become a big threat to its economic development. The nation’s natural resources will probably not allow it to achieve 53 percent renewable energy under its existing development model. Apart from cutting power consumption, a still more important task would be to move as quickly as possible to obtain reliable “green” energy supplies.
Businesses do not have to wait for the government to build nationwide “green” energy infrastructure. They can start planning now to build their own power plants and solar energy grids, or cooperate with science parks to build “green” energy facilities. The government must also close the gap by actively developing new sources of “green” energy, such as geothermal and tidal.

Russia’s indefatigable president stormed to victory for his fourth term on a wave of admiration — or by stamping out all opposition, depending on which way you look at it. But in his Sunday night victory speech, given in a frosty Red Square, Vladimir Putin talked about unity. He told a cheering crowd they were part of a ‘big national team’ who would realise his grand vision for the motherland and that he would not be guided by ‘daily political calculations’. Western observers might take some convincing while diplomatic rows rumble on over the deployment of nerve agent on the streets of the UK and the question of Russian interference in the last US election.
But how dangerous is the Russian leader really? Perhaps less so than we imagine, says Gideon Rachman in his column. For while he is reckless, he is not irrational, and history suggests he can be deterred. It may be, argues Gideon, that Mr Putin is willing to take big risks when he believes that the west is not paying attention — Russia’s annexation of Crimea is a case in point. But when he meets clear resistance, he backs off.
While the president’s fans believe him to be a brilliant strategist who can get away with anything, the truth is that Mr Putin is prone to mistakes and makes calculations that often backfire. The result is that Russia is much poorer and more isolated than it should be, whatever the president’s grandiose rhetoric suggests.
Our digital cesspit:
The allegation that Cambridge Analytica accessed the Facebook profiles of millions of US voters and targeted them with personalised messages to help Donald Trump’s chances of election show us how connected devices can be abused and polluted to manipulate their users, argues John Thornhill. But before we assign all the blame to internet platforms we should take a look at our own complicity in fanning false news and fuelling a market for stories that stoke disgust and fear.
Pulling strings:
The revolving door between EU institutions and the private sector shows the Brussels lobbying industry at its worst, writes EU ombudsman Emily O’Reilly. The problem is more noticeable as Brexit-related consultancy work is booming — the uncertainty around the negotiations provides lucrative opportunities for EU insiders with good networks. Brussels officials are particularly attractive for their detailed and technical knowledge.
Advice to disgruntled centrists:
The mood is dark among the UK Labour party’s moderate MPs, says James Kirkup. Exasperated by opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn’s apparent remaking of Labour in his leftist image, they whisper about the creation of a new centrist party. But they are not ready yet. A new party needs a new image, agenda and policies — especially economic ones — to sell to voters.

Restrictive ownership hobbles audit industry — letter from Paul Boyle
In 2005 I noted that the restrictive ownership rules that apply to audit firms (in essence they need to be majority-owned by qualified auditors) made it effectively impossible for there to be a well-capitalised new entrant into the market. Had there been similar ownership rules in the airline industry (ie if airlines had to be owned by qualified pilots) then many of the disruptive new entrants would not have been able to get off the ground — literally.

I can’t persuade Dropbox to take more of my money — letter from Christian Nielsen
You note that Dropbox’s revenue per subscriber has been flat for three years. That is unsurprising as I have for years been trying to give Dropbox more of my money without luck.

Question: Teens Caught After Trespassing On New Tappan Zee Bridge, Posting It On YouTube

TARRYTOWN, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — The new Tappan Zee Bridge does not open for nearly two weeks, but it has already seen some unwanted traffic.
As CBS2’s Brian Conybeare reported, three daredevils are now facing criminal charges for sneaking onto the span last month. Their own video posted online is what got them caught.
“I’m going to be climbing and exploring a bridge that still under construction,” one of the teens says in the video while sitting in a dark room.
The Westchester teen brazenly talks about trespassing on the new Tappan Zee Bridge, and then heads out just before 4 a.m. with two friends from Yonkers and Tuckahoe to do just that in a video posted to YouTube on July 13.
They apparently sneak through a local boat yard, jump a fence, and walk down the Metro-North Railroad tracks in Tarrytown. Afterward, they climb through a hole in a security fence and somehow find a construction later.
Suddenly, they are right on top of the brand new $3.9 million bridge, even climbing inside what appears to be the 419-foot-tall main span towers.
“Yo, that’s such a nice view — look at that!” one of the teens says in the video.
But then, someone from the private contractor Tappan Zee Constructors’ security team apparently spots them. They take off running and get away, at least temporarily.
New York State Police confirmed all three boys were arrested early on Aug. 3 – weeks after the video was posted. Their names have not been released because of their ages, but the incident has raised concerns at what is supposed to be a secure construction site.
“To restate the obvious, that was a serious security lapse,” said state Assemblyman Tom Abinanti (D-Greenburgh).
Abinanti noted that the new 3.1-mile twin-span bridge has been designated an infrastructure project of national significance by the Department of Homeland Security, requiring extra protections.
“If they can’t keep three teenagers from climbing up on the bridge, how can we be sure that they’re going to keep terrorists away from the bridge?” Abinanti said.
No one from TZC would answer CBS2’s questions on cameras, but spokesman Damien LaVera said in a statement: “The safety and security of the project site are top priorities…. After gathering evidence, we turned the matter over to the State Police, who quickly made arrests.”
There are surveillance cameras, “no trespassing” signs, and 24-hour security onsite, but it took the teens’ own YouTube video to catch them.
The three teens are all charged with criminal trespass and due in court in August. They could all get up to three months in jail.
A security review is also under way at the bridge.

PARIS — Henri Michel, who played for France at the World Cup and later coached the team to the semifinals at the 1986 tournament, has died. He was 70.
France's Professional Footballers Association wrote on Twitter that Michel died Tuesday morning.
Michel was an accomplished midfielder who played almost his entire career at Nantes and helped the club win three French league titles. He played 58 times for France, including two games at the 1978 World Cup in Argentina.
In 1986, Michel coached the France team to the semifinals in Mexico. The team included his former teammates Michel Platini, Patrick Battiston and Dominique Rocheteau. France lost to West Germany, and then beat Belgium in the third-place game.

Question: In Germany, Churchgoers Are Encouraged To Tweet From The Pews

In Germany this year, the Protestant church is celebrating 500 years since Martin Luther brought about the Reformation. Today, as the number of churchgoers dwindles, the clergy is turning to new media to appeal to those with little time to attend worship in person.
In the eastern city of Magdeburg, the monotone peal of a single church bell calls a modest flock of parishioners to evening prayers at the Walloon Reformed Church of St. Augustine.
As the faithful file into a High Gothic church where Martin Luther once delivered a sermon, most fumble around in handbags and pockets, looking for their cellphones.
But instead of dutifully switching off their phones and putting them away on this Friday evening, these 40 or so churchgoers take a pew and bow their heads over their lit-up devices as if they were prayer books.
This is a Twitter service, where the congregation is encouraged to tweet about the liturgy and share their prayers online.
Pastor Ralf Peter Reimann says it's an experiment. He believes that social media can help the Protestant church retain and even gain followers, even in today's increasingly secular society.
"There are lots of people who live online," he says. "We want to include these people and offer them to participate in a way that's comfortable to them."
While Reimann preaches from behind the lectern, a chorus of young parishioners perching in the choir stalls tweets about his sermon. Above them, a large screen displays a hash-tagged feed which, in real time, shows tweets coming from both within the church and from around Germany.
"Luther talked about the priesthood of all believers," Reimann says. "So if you use social media, it's not only the pastor communicating on behalf of the church, but Christians communicating among each other."
Although such Twitter services are yet to catch on, embracing the latest media trend is nothing new for Protestants.
Five-hundred years ago, when Martin Luther first protested against corruption in the Catholic Church, it was the then relatively new printing press that helped his challenge to papal authority to "go viral."
Luther's supporters printed his radical ideas in pamphlets. Cheap to produce and easy to distribute, these pamphlets fostered public debate.
Ulrike Zitzlsperger, a professor of German studies at the University of Exeter in England, says the 16th century pamphlet was the social media of Luther's day.
"I think the parallels with the use of Twitter today are really strong," Zitzlsperger says. "You've got a topic that engages not just an educated public but really the wider public, the lay people. Everybody has a say."
Luther's followers shared these pamphlets and responded to them by printing their own. These Twitter-like discussions spread so rapidly that the Catholic Church could do little to censor what it called heresy.
Today though, it's no longer dissent but disinterest that threatens the Christian church in Europe.
Back in Magdeburg, the Twitter service is in full swing. Messages from around Germany, where dozens of others participated, are displayed on the church's interactive screen in front of the altar.
Some posts are encouraging, like the one from a Twitter user who tweets in German, "We all make mistakes. God will show us the right way."
Some users share their private prayers, like one who posts: "I pray for the unborn child in my belly and that it is blessed with good health."
Other users are less convinced. "Sorry, this is too hectic," one writes. "I go to church to find inner peace. I'm signing off."
It's also too much for 86-year-old Ingeborg Brunner, who tiptoes out of church before the Twitter service is over. Brunner doesn't own a smartphone, so she feels somewhat left out.
"It was certainly interesting, but it's not my cup of tea" Brunner admits. "I'm a little old for Twitter. I prefer a proper service, when we get to sing hymns."
While Brunner says she's pleased the church is appealing to the digitally devout, regular churchgoers like her would rather sing than tweet.
After all, congregational singing is another major legacy of the Reformation.

Question: Zimbabwe army vows vote neutrality as opposition raises...

The Zimbabwean army intervened to end Robert Mugabe's 37-year rule, ushering in his former right-hand man, Emmerson Mnangagwa
Zimbabwe's military vowed Wednesday to stay neutral in upcoming elections and denied it would influence nationwide voting scheduled for July 30 as the opposition said it would not contest unfair polls.
The military is under close scrutiny following its brief takeover in November that led to the resignation of former president Robert Mugabe.
Previous elections under Mugabe were marred by violence, intimidation and fraud -- often alleged to involve the security forces.
"The Zimbabwe Defence Forces has no direct role in the upcoming elections," said army spokesman Overson Mugwisi at a media conference in Harare ahead of the presidential, parliamentary and local polls.
"We are disturbed by false reports alleging that the Zimbabwe Defence Forces is going to be used by (the ruling) ZANU-PF to rig the posted vote."
Following the military's statement, the leader of the main opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party Nelson Chamisa said it would not participate in unfair elections and raised the prospect of calling for the election to be run by an outside body.
"We will not go into an election that has its own machinations," he said, casting doubt on the work of the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission but signalling his support for the military.
"We are going to be tempted to ask the South African Development Community (SADC) and African Union (AU) to take over" organising the vote, said Chamisa, referring to the regional and continental blocs.
- 'Violence-free but illegitimate election' -
He also called for the ZEC, which he has previously accused of being heavily staffed by regime supporters, to store and distribute ballot papers more transparently.
"We therefore call upon SADC, the AU and the international community to intervene and save a collapsing process and abate an imminent legitimacy crisis," he said.
The army appears to have staged its media briefing in response to a report in the Standard daily that it had deployed active service personnel to rural areas to campaign for candidates in ZANU-PF primary contests.
The Standard said it had received complaints from defeated contenders for the ZANU-PF slate.
They reported that some winning candidates who were former senior military officers had been "roping in the army to win the primary elections," it said.
"If some serving members are participating in the ongoing political campaigns, they will be doing so illegally and not as a result of an instruction from their commanders," said Mugwisi.
"The conduct of the Zimbabwe Defence forces after elections is going to be guided by the constitution."
July's polls will be the first ballot box test for Mnangagwa, and the first since Mugabe was forced to resign after 37 years in power.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa, 75, has pledged to hold free and fair elections as he seeks to mend international relations.
But the main opposition remains unconvinced by his stated commitment to democratic standards.
"What we are currently witnessing is a regime that simply talks but does not intend to hold credible elections. We are moving towards a violence-free but illegitimate election," added Chamisa.
But Chamisa signalled his faith in the military, saying he was "not worried".
"They are a patriotic army. They are a professional army, I work with the army very well. In fact, I respect them," he said.

Zimbabwe's President Emmerson Mnangagwa has announced that a general election will be held on July 30 - a vote that could be crucial to securing foreign investment. David Doyle reports.

Question: GoDaddy boots white nationalist site after protest violence

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — A prominent white nationalist website that promoted a Virginia rally that ended in deadly violence Saturday is losing its internet domain host.
GoDaddy tweeted late Sunday night that it has given the Daily Stormer 24 hours to move its domain to another provider because the site has violated GoDaddy’s terms of service.
GoDaddy spokesman Dan Race tells the New York Daily News that the Daily Stormer violated its terms of service by labeling a woman killed in an attack at the event in Charlottesville “fat” and “childless.” Heather Heyer was killed Saturday when police say a man plowed his car into a group of demonstrators protesting the white nationalist rally.
Shortly after GoDaddy tweeted its decision, the site posted an article claiming it had been hacked and would be shut down.

Question: How to make fluffy slime without using borax

Represent this text to find a news title for it

Now Playing: Watch this: Make DIY slime without using borax
DIY slime, the homemade goop that's as soothing as a fidget spinner, is most often made with borax. In fact, my first slime recipe used borax as one of the main ingredients.
While we've never encountered any issues with borax, some people have reported burns from this type of slime. Others are concerned about how safe this ingredient is for a children's toy. So, they turn to borax-free recipes.
The problem is, most "borax-free" recipes on the internet actually still use borax. After extensive research, I found that most borax-free recipes include liquid starch or liquid laundry detergent. After a quick scan of some labels and some manufacturers' websites, I realized that many starches and detergents contain borax, often listed as its scientific name sodium tetraborate decahydrate.
So, after testing alternative methods, I've found three truly borax-free recipes. The first two recipes create what is called "fluffy" slime, or slime that has an airiness to it and is almost dough-like. The last is a more traditional slime that has a lot of stretch to it.
Alina Bradford/CNET
Basic fluffy slime recipe
This is a simple recipe that can be customized to make various forms of fluffy slime. Add more water for a wetter, stretchier slime, bits of polystyrene beads to make popping slime or glitter for unicorn slime, for example.
To make the slime, you'll need shampoo of any type -- though the thicker, the better -- and cornstarch. Here's how to make it:
Put 1/2 cup shampoo and 1/4 cup of cornstarch in a bowl. Mix well. Add 3 drops of food coloring (optional). Add 1 tablespoon of water and stir. Slowly add 5 more tablespoons of water, stirring well after each one. Knead the slime for around 5 minutes.
If you find that your slime is still sticky after kneading it for a while, keep adding cornstarch to the slime and knead it in until you get a good consistency. The recipe worked great when I tried it a couple times with just 1/4 cup cornstarch, but a co-worker found that he needed 2 1/4 cups to get the dough-like consistency of a good fluffy slime. I think the brand of cornstarch and humidity may have a lot to do with the variance in cornstarch amounts from what I've observed in my experiments. As long as you end up with a semi-hard, semi-stretchy, moist, light, almost dough-like slime, you did the recipe right. The next recipe has a similar consistency.
Fluffy volcano slime recipe
Alina Bradford/CNET
This slime is called volcano slime because it reacts to heat. After you make it, you can put it in the microwave for 20 seconds to make it melt into a lava-like substance. As it cools, it will turn back into fluffy slime.
You'll just need white school glue and cornstarch for fluffy volcano slime. Here's how to make it:
Pour 1/4 cup white school glue and a 1/2 cup of cornstarch in a bowl. Add 3 drops of food coloring (optional). Mix it well. Knead it with your hands for 10 minutes. Heat it in the microwave for 20 seconds. Let it cool, then knead it for another 10 minutes.
Alina Bradford/CNET
Stretchy sand slime
This recipe gets you just about as close to borax-quality slime as possible. It is stretchy and gooey. It will have a grainy texture, though, like sand.
You'll need white school glue, baking soda and contact lens solution. Then, just follow these directions:
Pour 1 cup glue into a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda. Add three drops of food coloring (optional). Mix well. Add 1 tablespoon of contact lens solution. Mix well. Continue to add a tablespoon of contact lens solution and mixing until you get a nice consistency.
Playing with the dough will firm it up more, so if it seems a little soggy, just knead it for a few minutes.

Sure, we are all concerned with preventing wrinkles on our faces, but how often do you think about pampering your hands? They need love, too — hands can definitely reveal your age if you don’t keep up with proper moisturizer.
The next time you do a DIY facial, add this hand mask to your routine, too. The mixture is similar to a face mask, but is a little stronger to tackle the thicker skin on your hands. Honey provides antioxidants and moisture, while cinnamon increases collagen production and baking soda exfoliates.
RELATED: If you’re ever desperate for a DIY face mask, look no further than your kitty litter
For an extra bonus, wrap your hands in plastic wrap while you have the mask on. It might be a little uncomfortable, but the heat from your body will really push the mask into your skin.
Here’s what you’ll need:
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
2 tsp honey
1 heaping tsp baking soda
Feel free to use a kitchen spoon to measure — the proportions don’t need to be exact.

Question: PM Hun Sen: The Army Serves People

represent this text to find a news title for it

For example, '['represent the article 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.\nCosmetic 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.\nBut if you decide that you, too, want a brighter smile, it\'s hard to know where to start.\n"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.\nThe 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.\nThe 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.\nThe 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.\nEven 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.\nAnd, if you\'re not careful, Sahota says the products can leak onto the gums, causing inflammation and "extra sensitivity" to pressure, temperature and touch.\nA 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.\nThe 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.\nIf 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).\nSo 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.\nAn important caveat: Insurance companies consider in-office teeth whitening "cosmetic" so the procedures are almost never covered.\nNonetheless, 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.\nBut go to the dentist before you start bleaching, says Ada Cooper, a New York City dentist.\n"Tooth discoloration can be caused by cavities and other oral problems," she says. "It\'s more important to maintain healthy teeth."\nIt\'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.\nUnfortunately, 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.\nThere 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.\nAll 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.']' should be close to '['Represent the title to find an explanatory news article', "Navigating The 'Aisle Of Confusion' To Whiten Your Teeth"]'

Prime Minister Hun Sen on Tuesday morning said that the army is not the masters of the people but is a faithful servant of the people.
“Soldiers are descendants of the people and are born from the people, so everything must be done in accordance with the interests of the people. The army is not the ruler of the people but the army is the faithful servants of our people,” said the premier.
In order to maintain the support from the people, PM Hun Sen reminded the army to jointly continue to apply the principles and policies of the “people’s national security” and serve the interests of the people.
He also highly valued the Khmer people who strongly supported the Cambodian army, especially during the period of conflict with neighboring countries.

Question: Cape Town drought hurts key tourism industry

Tourists in Cape Town have been told not to use baths and to shower for less than two minutes as the city's drought worsens.
As it edges closer to Day Zero - 16 April, when taps will be turned off due to lack of water - officials are starting to worry about the effect on the important tourism industry.
Around 10 million tourists visited Cape Town last year and tourism accounted for an estimated 9% of South Africa's economic output.
There are fears that, as water restrictions get tougher, many tourists will stay away, causing trouble for the economy in a country already suffering from 25% unemployment.
Enver Duminy, chief executive officer at Cape Town Tourism, said: "There's no doubt that the knock-on effect of the water conservation crossroads we find ourselves in has had an impact on tourism."
Image: Table Mountain is one of Cape Town's many tourist attractions
There are no official numbers yet but Mr Duminy said there had already been cancellations.
Meanwhile, Cape Town residents are also living under tight restrictions which limit them to 50 litres of water per day. An average bath holds around 80 litres.
Using city drinking water to wash vehicles, hose paved areas, water gardens and fill pools is illegal and there are fines for those who break the rules.
Image: Theewaterskloof Dam, pictured in May, is less than 12.9% full
For many, the situation highlights the divide between the city's rich - many of whom are buying artificial grass, water tanks and bottled water - and its poor.
While Cape Town has many ocean-side mansions accustomed to plentiful water supply, a quarter of its population lives in settlements where water comes from communal taps.
According to Kirsty Carden, from the Future Water Institute at the University of Cape Town, these poorer people - about one million out of a population of four million - use just 4.5% of the water.
She said: "It has been in the areas where people have gardens, they have swimming pools and they are much more profligate in the way that they use water, because they're used to the water just being, coming out of the taps."
Image: Cape Town's dams are at just 25.8% capacity, leaving people lining up for water
In one settlement, Vuyo Kazi told Associated Press that she had previously used two kettles of water to wash herself but now she used one.
In the seaside town of Scarborough, resident Kelson da Cruz said: "I think South Africa is, for the first time, really catching up with the rest of the world. They have to change their habits. You can't just take for granted something so precious."
The dams supplying Cape Town are at just 25.8% of capacity.
The drought has been blamed on rapid population growth and climate change.

According to Kotaku, Fallout 76 will be an online game of some sort. It is not clear if that means it will be full MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game).
Bethesda has taken a similar route with its other major franchise, The Elder Scrolls. After The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim launching in 2011, The Elder Scrolls Online followed in 2014. However, ZeniMax Online Studios made ESO. Bethesda Game Studios, the developer behind Skyrim and Fallout 4, is working directly on Fallout 76.

Question: Vandalism in the Central Okanagan is a growing concern

“Since 2005 they’ve tipped over our shed, shot pellet holes in it and kicked it in…”
Tanya Bunnah is fed up.
She’s fed up of walking into the her business, Blossom Montessori preschool, and seeing it ripped apart and frustrated by the disrespect that puts her community at risk.
“Since 2005 they’ve tipped over our shed, shot pellet holes in it and kicked it in,” said Bunnah, who’s situated in Lake Country.
“One year they took a pirate ship and put it on the roof of the school. If they’re not damaging things, they’re taking the tires and running them down the hill and I’ve found alcohol bottles on the playground.”
Windows have been smashed at the preschool and also at Peter Greer, the neighbouring elementary school.
“These things happen at least a couple of times a year and at least once a year there’s damage and I’m having to replace things,” said Bunnah. “We’re paying for it out of pocket to keep the insurance rates down and it’s not cheap. We pay our bills, but there’s not an overabundance of cash available to keep replacing these items.”
What’s really helped is that there are families connected to the preschool who volunteer and do different things to keep the playground going.
“But it’s so frustrating,” she said.
Bunnah said while she doesn’t know how to stop it from happening she hopes that her concerns can be heard by area parents.
“If parents could talk to their kids and be more aware of what they’re doing at 11 p.m. and 12 a.m., that would help,” she said, adding that she’s pretty sure it’s older kids doing the damage in the middle of the night.
“Go have your fun—but you’re wrecking little people’s playground … and that’s not OK.”
In the future, she said, the educational community is thinking about building a community garden, but she’s starting to question what it’s for.
If they can’t even keep a preschool clear of trouble, what hope is there for the garden, she said.
It’s not just Lake Country suffering from vandals.
Over in Kettle Valley there have also been some issues.
Investigators attended the Kettle Valley area Oct. 1 to obtain photographs of the damage caused and to speak with and gather further information from area residents.
“Police noted extensive damages caused, mainly as a result of graffiti and tagging, not only to Chute Lake Elementary School, but to business’ and infrastructure in that area,” said Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey.
“Police have also been informed of a notable increase of motor vehicles being entered during the overnight hours, in some cases where items are allegedly taken from within. Residents suspect that those responsible for the mischief may also be responsible for the theft and attempted theft from vehicles.”
RCMP have also learned that youths have been seen gathering and believed to be consuming alcohol in the area. Police ask parents to have a discussion with their children to ensure they are fully aware of the seriousness and potential consequences of under age drinking, and or the commission of criminal acts related to theft and mischief.
They are also encouraging all residents to ensure they report these crimes to police, as when they go un-reported, crime analysts are not in a position to identify trends, potentially identify suspects and provide real time information to RCMP officers for consideration for their proactive patrol efforts.
There is an investigation into the mischievous acts and they are asking the public to report suspicious activity to the police. Police have been in contact with school officials to assist with planning to deter future incidents from happening.

A $10-million provincial government investment to combat rural crime is a drop in the bucket that will do little to address a growing problem, say critics.
“This is a start,” said Scott Cyr, the MLA for Bonnyville – Cold Lake, noting that the recent injection of additional provincial funds to the justice system, is the first time the NDP has acknowledged there is a real crime problem in the province.
But Cyr said rural areas are going to need more help from the province and Chestermere Mayor Marshall Chalmers agreed.
“I don’t think it comes near close to addressing the actual need,” he said in a Postmedia interview on Apr 6.
Chestermere, a community larger than Cold Lake at 20,000 people, is dealing with an uptick in property crime, as is the Municipal District of Bonnyville.
“Rural crime is absolutely on the rise and in some cases out of control,” he said, adding the community has 17 RCMP officers. “We’re unique because we share a border with Calgary. As we know, criminals don’t stop at the border.”
United Conservative Party Calgary-West MLA Mike Ellis raised Chestermere as an example of an under-resourced community while questioning Justice Minister
Kathleen Ganley during a legislative committee meeting Apr.3.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Josh Reddick and Tony Kemp homered, Dallas Keuchel (Arkansas Razorbacks) worked seven solid innings to win for only the second time in his last nine starts and the AL West-leading Houston Astros beat the Texas Rangers 5-3 on Tuesday night.
Houston is 11-4 this season against its instate division rival, with seven consecutive road victories in the series. Houston is a majors-best 31-14 on the road this season.
Texas leadoff hitter Shin-Soo Choo walked twice and had two singles to extend his career-best on-base streak to 43 games, the longest in the majors since Atlanta's Freddie Freeman's 46-gamer two years ago. Choo is three games shy of Julio Franco's team record of 46 in a row set 25 years ago.
Keuchel (5-8), the 2015 AL Cy Young Award winner, struck out seven while allowing only two runs.
The Astros used three relievers to get through the eighth. Texas already had a run in before Hector Rondon took over against pinch-hitter Joey Gallo, who worked a 12-pitch at-bat into a two-out walk to load the bases before Robinson Chirinos struck out. Rondon then worked the ninth for his sixth save in eight chances.
Houston went ahead to stay in the first when Yuli Gurriel and Reddick had RBI doubles off Austin Bibens-Dirkx (1-2). Reddick added a solo home run in the third before Kemp's two-run drive that just cleared the eight-foot wall in right-center.
The Astros have hit home runs in 23 consecutive road games, a club record.
INDIANS 6, ROYALS 4 Yan Gomes hit a sixth-inning grand slam as visiting Cleveland rallied to beat Kansas City. The Indians lead the AL with eight grand slams. Edwin Encarnacion led off the sixth with a walk and Brandon Guyer was hit by a pitch from Danny Duffy (4-8). Yonder Alonso's infield single loaded the bases. Gomes drove a 1-0 Duffy pitch into the left-field bullpen. Chad Allen got the final four outs for his 17th save in 18 chances.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
ROCKIES 8, GIANTS 1 Antonio Senzatela pitched seven scoreless innings in his first start of the season, Nolan Arenado hit his NL-leading 22nd home run and host Colorado beat San Francisco. Colorado's Charlie Blackmon had three hits, including his first home run since June 20. Trevor Story had an RBI triple for the Rockies, who have won five of six.
DIAMONDBACKS 4, CARDINALS 2 Paul Goldschmidt hit a three-run homer, Zack Greinke pitched effectively into the seventh inning and the host Arizona Diamondbacks ended a four-game losing streak. Goldschmidt followed a four-hit night Monday with a three-run home run off Jack Flaherty (3-4) in the fifth inning.
INTERLEAGUE
RED SOX 11, NATIONALS 4 Xander Bogaerts hit a three-run home run during a six-run fifth inning, J.D. Martinez and Eduardo Nunez also went deep, and the visitingBoston Red Sox beat the Washington Nationals. Martinez drove in four and leads the majors with 26 home runs and 71 RBI. Boston has won 17 of its last 19 interleague games. Washington has lost four consecutive and 16 of 21 to fall to 42-42, its first time at .500 since it was 17-17.
YANKEES 8, BRAVES 5 Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Hicks and Kyle Higashioka each hit home runs and host New York went ahead early and hung on to beat Atlanta. Aaron Judge had two hits and a walk, and he stole two bases for the first time in his career. Hicks also walked twice as New York drew eight walks.
PHILLIES 3, ORIOLES 2 Zach Eflin pitched seven strong innings for his sixth consecutive victory and Andrew Knapp had the winning hit for the second straight game. Rhys Hoskins had a two-run double for the host Phillies, who have won 11 of 16.
CUBS 5, TIGERS 3 Anthony Rizzo drove in his second run of the game in the seventh inning to snap a tie, Kyle Schwarber followed with a solo home run in the eighth and host Chicago rebounded from an early three-run deficit to edge Detroit for its fifth consecutive victory.
BREWERS 2, TWINS 0 Eric Thames hit a two-run home run and three pitchers combined on a two-hit shutout as host Milwaukee beat Minnesota. The Twins fell to 1-7 on their current nine-game road trip.
BLUE JAYS 8, METS 6 Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit a tiebreaking two-run home run in the eighth inning and host Toronto rallied from a five-run deficit to beat New York. Yangervis Solarte hit a tying three-run home run off Robert Gsellman in the seventh before Gurriel went deep off Tim Peterson (1-1) in the eighth as the Blue Jays won for the 11th time in 14 home games.
ATHLETICS 6, PADRES 2 Jed Lowrie hit a bases-loaded, bases-clearing double in the decisive sixth, Mark Cahna added a solo home run in that inning, and the host Oakland Athletics rallied to beat the San Diego Padres.
WHITE SOX 12, REDS 8 (12) Daniel Palka and Avisail Garcia each homered twice, and Yoan Moncada tripled with the bases loaded in the 12th inning as the visiting Chicago White Sox pulled off their biggest comeback of the season, beating the Cincinnati Reds.

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: Bulgaria asks Russia to overhaul MiG fighter jets

SOFIA: Bulgaria has asked Russian Aircraft Corporation MiG to overhaul and maintain its 15 aged MiG-29 fighter jets in a four-year deal worth up to 81.3 million levs (US$49 million), the country's defence ministry said on Monday.
NATO and EU member Bulgaria needs to keep its Soviet-era aircraft operational after plans to buy eight new fighter jets hit another snag.
The defence ministry will have to virtually restart the process and is yet to send requests for proposals to aircraft makers.
Main contenders remain Swedish manufacturer Saab's Gripen jets, Portugal and the United States with secondhand F-16s and Italy with secondhand Eurofighter Typhoons. Defence Minister Krasimir Karakachanov has said Bulgaria may also send a request to Boeing for F-18 aircraft.

© Sputnik/ Mikhail Fomichev Pakistan Looking Forward to More Bilateral Military Exercises With Russia
–
KARACHI (Sputnik)Islamabad is considering the expanding of the contract on the delivery of the Mil Mi-35 helicopters from Russia, a high-ranking military official in Pakistan told Sputnik.
"Pakistan considers expending the existing Mi-35 helicopters contract with Russia, a number of additional machines will depend on our budget. According to the existing contract, Russia will supply 4 pieces to Pakistan," the official said.
The Mi-35 is a modern multipurpose attack helicopter, equipped with the latest navigation and avionics technology, capable of operating in high temperatures and in mountainous terrain. It can also be used for medical and transportation purposes.
Moscow and Islamabad concluded a contract on the delivery of 4 such helicopters in August 2015.
Pakistan may consider purchase of different types of Russia's military equipment including its advanced S-400 air defense systems, a high-ranking military official in Pakistan said.
"Russia has good tanks, helicopters, electronic equipment, air defense systems that Pakistan may consider. S-400 is a big ticket number and it will all depend on our budget," the official said.
The S-400 Triumf is Russia's next-generation air defense system, carrying three different types of missiles capable of destroying aerial targets at a short-to-extremely-long range. The weapon is capable of tracking and destroying all existing aerial targets, including ballistics and cruise missiles.
By now, the contract on systems' delivery has been finalized only with China.
Islamabad has no plans to purchase Russia's Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jets at the moment, a high-ranking military official stated.
"As of today, Pakistan has no plan to purchase Russia's Su-35 fighter jets," the official said.
The Su-35 is a 4++ generation aircraft employing technologies of the fifth generation, designed by the Sukhoi Aviation Holding Company, which belongs to the United Aircraft Corporation. The fighter jet (NATO reporting name Flanker-E) is an upgraded version of the Su-27 multirole fighter. It was first introduced to a foreign audience at the 2013 Paris Air Show.
In September 2016, Shahab Qadir Khan, deputy director of export promotion services in the Pakistani Defense Export Promotion Organization, told Sputnik that Pakistan was negotiating a deal on Su-35 and Su-37 jets with Russia.

Question: AP FACT CHECK: Trump, Moore and their odd orbit of claims

WASHINGTON — The orbit of odd political claims stretched from Utah canyons to the looming Alabama Senate race to crazy-as-usual Washington in recent days.
That’s what The Associated Press found when scrutinizing an assortment of statements from President Donald Trump and others last week.
In addition, earlier comments by Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore about his decades-old behaviour with teens drew scrutiny that dominated the last leg of the campaign for Alabama’s election. Trump pitched Moore’s candidacy at a rally in Pensacola, Florida, close to the Alabama line.
A look at some of their statements:
TRUMP, surveying the crowd at his Pensacola rally Friday night: “Look at these guys, ‘blacks for Trump.’ I love you. I love you. By the way, now that you bring it up, black homeownership just hit the highest level it has ever been in the history of our country. Congratulations.”
THE FACTS: Not true or even close.
The U.S. Census finds that the black homeownership rate peaked during 2004, when 49.7 per cent of black households owned homes. (The rate for all races that year reached 69.2 per cent, also a modern record.) The black homeownership rate stayed in similar territory until the recession, when it dropped to the mid-40s.
This year: 42.7 per cent in the first quarter, 42.3 per cent in the second and 42 per cent in the third. That’s an uptick from last year but far from a record. Quarterly rates this year for the total U.S. population: 63.6 per cent, 63.7 per cent and 63.9 per cent.
——
TRUMP: “You know, we have factories pouring back into our country. Did you ever think you would hear that? I used to tell you, that’s going to happen.” — Pensacola rally.
THE FACTS: Factories are not pouring into the country, according to available data. Spending on the construction of factories has dropped 14 per cent over the past 12 months. There has been a steady decline in spending on factory construction since the middle of 2015 — a trend Trump has yet to reverse despite his claims otherwise.
The existing manufacturing sector, though, has been doing a steady dose of hiring. This appears to reflect the synchronized global growth that has aided a rebound in manufacturing after setbacks in 2016 from a stronger dollar and low energy prices. In November, manufacturing added 31,000 jobs for a gain of 189,000 from a year earlier.
——
TRUMP: “So we’re at 3.3 per cent GDP. I see no reason why we don’t go to 4 per cent, 5 per cent and even 6 per cent.” Speaks of GDP “getting up to 4, 5, and even 6 per cent, because I think that’s possible.” — Cabinet meeting Wednesday.
THE FACTS: Anything’s possible, but to get serious: There are no signs the economy is capable of delivering a phenomenal and rarely achieved growth rate in the order of 6 per cent, or even 5. Or even 4.
Federal Reserve officials and most mainstream economists expect economic growth to hew closer to 2 per cent. The economy last cleared the 6 per cent hurdle in 1984 and only for that fleeting year, at 7.3 per cent. This was a different time, when baby boomers were at prime working ages, instead of today when they’re starting to retire. The Federal Reserve had boosted growth by steadily slashing a key interest rate from its 1981 peak of 20 per cent, while the Fed today is slowly increasing the same rate. Also, the national debt was much lower.
The tax cuts Trump may soon sign into law would probably max out at roughly $250 billion in 2020. Yet to generate growth of 6 per cent, those cuts would have to spur a massive $1.2 trillion gain to the gross domestic product. His administration has failed to produce a single analysis showing how this would be possible, while outside analysts say the tax cuts are unlikely to generate anything close to what Trump has said.
——
TRUMP, on scaling back national monument lands in Utah: “We have seen how this tragic federal overreach prevents many Native Americans from having their rightful voice over the sacred land where they practice their most important ancestral and religious traditions. … We’ve seen many rural families stopped from enjoying their outdoor activities, and the fact that they’ve done it all their lives made no difference to the bureaucrats in Washington.” — remarks in Salt Lake City, Dec. 4.
THE FACTS: Native rights are generally enshrined on national monument lands. So are other existing public uses of the land. Native Americans say their voice on sacred land is imperiled by Trump’s move, not empowered.
Five tribes lobbied President Barack Obama to declare Bears Ears a national monument to preserve lands that are home to ancient cliff dwellings and an estimated 100,000 archaeological sites. Native Americans visit to perform ceremonies, collect herbs and wood for medicinal and spiritual purposes, and do healing rituals. The tribes sued Monday night challenging Trump’s move to shrink Bears Ears by 85 per cent.
Environmental groups have filed a suit challenging Trump’s decision to shrink Grand Staircase-Escalante by nearly half. They say his move endangers a “Dinosaur Shangri-La” of fossils.
Public uses, such as hiking, ranching, hunting and fishing, are allowed on the monument lands. The central issue is whether the land should be opened to mining or other resource or commercial development.
——
TRUMP: “As many of you know, past administrations have severely abused the purpose, spirit and intent of a century-old law known as the Antiquities Act. This law requires that only the smallest necessary area be set aside for special protection as national monuments.” — in Salt Lake City, Dec. 4.
THE FACTS: That’s not exactly what Teddy Roosevelt’s 1906 preservation law says. It states, in essence, that the federal government should not bite off more than it can chew when a president designates an area for protection. It doesn’t demand that such land be kept to a minimum. Such protected land “shall be confined to the smallest area compatible with proper care and management of the objects to be protected,” it says.
——
MOORE, on women who said they had a romantic relationship with him when they were in their teens: “I do not know any of these women, nor have I ever engaged in sexual misconduct with anyone.” “Let me state once again: I do not know any of these women, did not date any of these women and have not engaged in any sexual misconduct with anyone.” — comments during campaign stops in Henagar and Theodore, Nov. 27 and 29.
THE FACTS: In at least two cases, he knew them before he didn’t know them.
In a Nov. 10 radio interview with Sean Hannity, Moore said he remembered two of the women, Debbie Wesson Gibson and Gloria Deason, who were 17 and 18 at the time.
He said he didn’t remember dating them. Asked by Hannity if he generally dated teenagers as a man in his 30s, Moore replied, “Not generally, no. If I did, you know, I’m not going to dispute anything, but I don’t remember anything like that.”
Altogether, five women have stepped up to say Moore pursued them as teens.
Leigh Corfman said Moore touched her sexually when she was 14; he denied that. The age of consent in Alabama is 16.
Moore’s campaign said he was only denying knowing women who have accused him of sexual assault. But Moore said in a campaign stop he didn’t know any of the women featured in his Democratic opponent’s ads. Democrat Doug Jones has run ads with the photos of all of the women who have come forward about Moore.
One of the women has acknowledged that she wrote part of an entry in her high school yearbook that was initially presented as coming from Moore. But no one has refuted her claim that Moore signed her yearbook with a salutation.
——
TRUMP: “Working with Republicans in Congress, we’ve already signed 88 pieces of legislation. We get no credit. They always say, well, President Trump really needs this tax bill because he hasn’t passed any legislation. Well, so far in 10 months we’ve passed more during this period of time than any other president in the history of our country and the second — let’s call runner up — is Harry Truman, was second.” — Pensacola rally.
THE FACTS: Trump’s first-year legislative record pales next to that of a variety of presidents (Franklin Roosevelt, with his New Deal, signed 14 historic laws in his first 100 days). The tax package Trump may soon sign would mark his first major legislative achievement after months of false starts and frustrations on health care and more. His promised infrastructure initiative got sidelined but appears in the offing.
Trump signed a law strengthening accountability at the Veterans Affairs Department, used executive orders to roll back Obama-era regulations and policies and, perhaps most significantly, won confirmation of a conservative Supreme Court justice, Neil Gorsuch. But legislatively, his record is thin, despite having Republican majorities in Congress.
All presidents sign plenty of bills that have little consequence; most don’t make so much of it. Among Trump’s routine signings: naming a Veterans Affairs health clinic in Butler County, Pennsylvania, after Bataan Death March survivor Abie Abraham, appointing a regent at the Smithsonian Institution and naming a federal building and courthouse in Nashville, Tennessee, after late Sen. Fred Thompson.
——
TRUMP on a conversation with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about trade: “He said, ‘I’m telling you that Canada has a deficit with the United States.’ I told my people, in front of a lot of people, I said, go out and check — and he was right. Except he forgot some categories — lumber, timber and energy. Other than that, he was right. When you add them altogether we actually have a $17 billion deficit with Canada, right? So, he forgot a couple of categories that he didn’t want to mention.” — Pensacola rally.
THE FACTS: Trump’s accounting is puzzling and at odds with U.S. trade statistics.
Trudeau is right that the U.S. has a trade surplus with Canada, according to those numbers.
“Exports were $320.1 billion; imports were $307.6 billion,” says the U.S. trade representative’s office. “The U.S. goods and services trade surplus with Canada was $12.5 billion in 2016.”
The U.S. ran a $12.1 billion deficit with Canada in trade on goods. That was offset by a $24.6 billion surplus in trade of services.
Trump may have been ignoring services — half of the equation on trade — but if so his numbers still don’t match his government’s.
——
TRUMP on his critics in Washington: “They will lie and leak and smear because they don’t want to accept the results of an election where we won by a landslide.” — Pensacola rally.
THE FACTS: His win was far from a landslide.
His winning margin in the Electoral College is far closer to the narrowest win in history than to the widest.
The final Electoral College margin was Trump 306, Hillary Clinton 232, for a winning percentage of just under 57 per cent. That ranks the 2016 election as the 13th closest of the 58 presidential elections in U.S. history, according to a tally by Claremont McKenna College political scientist John Pitney. Obama won both of his presidential elections with bigger Electoral College margins: 61 per cent in 2008 and 62 per cent in 2012. Trump’s margin was narrower than all but two of the last 10 presidential elections — those of George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004.
As well, he lost the popular vote to Clinton.
——
TRUMP: “By the way, wages — starting to go up. First time in 20 years — starting to go up. That’s all going to happen.” — Pensacola rally.
THE FACTS: It’s not true that wages haven’t gone up for 20 years.
The latest jobs report shows average hourly earnings up 2.5 per cent over the past 12 months, roughly the same pace of growth as the year before, when Obama was president. Wages were rising faster in December 2016, up by 2.9 per cent. Average hourly wage figures are volatile, but they don’t show an upward trend under Trump.
The last time unemployment was this low — in 2000 — that figure was rising at 4 per cent.
Inflation-adjusted median household incomes, meantime, have barely budged for several decades.
