Question: Vietnamese villagers free some police held over land dispute

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

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — Vietnamese villagers in a suburban district of Hanoi have freed 15 riot police who were held over a land dispute.
The state-run online newspaper Vnexpress reported Tuesday that three others managed to escape while authorities are persuading villagers to free remaining 20 police and local officials.
The standoff began Saturday when police clashed with villagers who allege their land was illegally taken for sale by a military-run telecoms firm.
Some villagers who were arrested have been released.
Land disputes are common in Vietnam, where residents often claim that their land taken for infrastructure or other industrial or residential projects is not properly compensated.

HANOI (Reuters) - Vietnam's Communist Party has set out rules for top officials with an emphasis on fighting corruption, avoiding nepotism and living modestly, the government website said on Tuesday.
The announcement, agreed by the politburo on Monday, comes against the backdrop of a growing crackdown on corruption in the one-party state since security-minded conservatives won greater influence early last year.
The crackdown took on an international dimension this month when Germany accused Vietnam of abducting a former oil official from Berlin who is wanted over losses at a state firm.
Top officials must display "no corruption or opportunism... and be determined to push back against the degeneration in political ideology."
They must have "absolutely no ambition for power", "absolutely not let relatives and acquaintances benefit from their positions" and should lead "an honest, modest, sincere, transparent, simple and generous life".
The crackdown on alleged corruption and mismanagement has focused on inefficient state-owned companies and has led to the rare dismissal of a member of the politburo and calls for the sacking of a vice-minister for her role at an electricity firm.
Trinh Xuan Thanh, the former PetroVietnam official Germany says was abducted from Berlin, is wanted on charges of financial management that caused losses or around $150 million at the state oil firm.
He was shown on state television saying that he had decided to turn himself in, but the government has never given details as to how he returned from Germany.
Arrest warrants were also issued this month against 16 bankers in a fraud case that dates to 2014.

Question: Giants Manager Bruce Bochy shares a Hall of Fame moment with Alan Trammell

A postcard from the Winter Meetings:
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla.  Bruce Bochy sat in a first-class seat for his flight to the Winter Meetings.
Little did he know there was a future Hall of Famer stuck in seat 31D.
The Giants manager told the story Monday, not long after his friend Alan Trammell, the longtime Detroit Tiger shortstop  and former coach for Bochy in San Diego  was introduced as part of the Cooperstown class of 2018.

Trammell and fellow Tiger Jack Morris were selected Sunday night by the Modern Era Baseball Committee.
Bochy had texted Trammell on Saturday wishing him good luck. Then he saw him again Sunday as they boarded a flight from San Diego to Orlando (others on the flight included Trevor Hoffman and Bud Black)
But they were all in the air when Trammell got the news. Because the six-time All-Star was back in the cramped seats. Bochy didnt see him again until baggage claim.
Tram said, I got The Call  he said it just like that. No emotion or anything, Bochy said. I think he was a little numb. So we all kind of had a little celebration there for him. He certainly deserves it. You look at how consistent he was, how durable he was. Hes right up there with a lot of the players who are in the Hall of Fame.
As manager Bob Melvin also has a connection to Trammell and Morris. He was a rookie catcher with Detroit in 1985.
If you talked to the guys that played with or against those guys, unanimously those guys would tell you that theyre Hall of Famers, Melvin said Monday.
Billy Beane goes back even further with Trammell. The As executive vice president said he was in 8th grade or so when Trammell was a star point guard for Kearney High in San Diego.
I grew up watching Trams play basketball, Beane said. He was a great point guard. When he got drafted in the second round, I didnt even know he played baseball.
 Bochy paid tribute to the late Katy Feeney and helped introduce a scholarship fund in her honor. Feeney, a longtime senior executive for MLB with Bay Area ties, died in April at age 68. Her passion for the game and for her work was evident, Bochy said at a press conference. Were going to continue to miss her.

Three up and three down from the last week of MLB action:
THREE UP
1. Jharel Cotton: He’s seven starts into his major league career (3-1, 2.66 ERA) and already drawing praise from Pedro Martinez on Twitter:
Cotton was one of three pitching prospects the Dodgers traded to the Oakland Athletics last July for Rich Hill and Josh Reddick.
2. Garcia and Co.: The Chicago White Sox fielded the first outfield in major league history in which all three players had the same last name: Willy Garcia in left field, Leury Garcia in center, Avisail Garcia in right. But, for the belatedly rebuilding Sox, it was a better story that former first-round pick Dylan Covey gave up one run in his major league debut.
The best prospects from the trades of Chris Sale and Adam Eaton — infielder Yoan Moncada and pitchers Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez — are at triple-A. The Sox would love to collect more by trading ace Jose Quintana, but he’s off to an 0-3, 6.75 start.
3. Fried grasshoppers: A joke, right? Some wacky publicity for the Seattle Mariners to distract from their season-opening 1-6 trip? Hmm … the grasshoppers sold out in each of the Mariners’ first three home games. That would be 901 orders, 31 pounds and 18,000 grasshoppers in all. Serving size: about 20 grasshoppers. Share with fans seated next to you? Well … the Mariners’ attendance dropped from 44,856 at the home opener, which they won, to 18,527 and 14,479 the next two games, which they lost.
THREE DOWN
1. Toronto Blue Jays: They have the oldest roster in the major leagues, they have scored the fewest runs in the majors, they had three key players get injured last weekend alone (third baseman Josh Donaldson and pitchers J.A. Happ and Aaron Sanchez), and they’re 2-10.
Bad news: Get well soon or Donaldson, Happ, outfielder Jose Bautista and pitcher Marco Estrada could be shopped.
Good news: The Maple Leafs are trying to win their first NHL postseason series in 13 years, so Toronto is distracted.
2. St. Louis Cardinals: The “best fans in baseball” now support a team with the worst run differential in baseball – well, tied for worst with the San Diego Padres, a team not trying to win this year. The New York Yankees swept the Cardinals over the weekend, in which catcher Yadier Molina went 1 for 10 — he’s batting .229 — and the Yankees stole four bases in five tries against him. Molina, perhaps the premier defensive catcher of this era, was signed this month to a $60-million extension through 2020, when he will be 38.
3. Bronson Arroyo: He’s 40, making the major league minimum wage, and throwing 85 mph. And he’s coming back after sitting out two years because of injury. The Cincinnati Reds are happy to have him eat innings and counsel the three rookies in their rotation, but Arroyo put up a 9.90 ERA in his first two starts and might not pitch until the Reds tear the uniform off him.
“The next two times out, if I don’t see something a little bit crisper and able to keep us in the ballgame a little bit better, maybe you’re at a dead-end street,” he said.

Question: US envoy: Seoul, Washington consulting 100 percent on NK crisis

Represent this text to find a news title for it

(Yonhap)
South Korea and the United States are closely consulting each other on everything happening on the Korean Peninsula and in the region, the top US envoy in Seoul said Monday, amid allegations Washington is increasingly bypassing Seoul in its handling of North Korea.Marc Knapper, acting US ambassador to South Korea, made the remark during a visit to Rep. Choo Mi-ae, leader of the ruling Democratic Party, pointing out a series of phone calls and meetings between top officials of the two countries, including one between President Moon Jae-in and President Donald Trump.Knapper said that close consultation with South Korea is also important to the US.He also noted that his meeting with the ruling party leader coincided with a visit by US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford that includes meetings not only with Defense Minister Song Young-moo but also President Moon and other senior officials.Knapper said these meetings illustrate the depth of relations between the two countries, as well as how frequently the allies consult with each other.These remarks came as opposition parties and other critics kept up accusations that South Korea is losing its voice in Korean Peninsula issues and is getting increasingly sidelined from other key players, a phenomenon that local media have dubbed the "Korea passing."Government officials have flatly rejected the criticism, saying Seoul and Washington are working together very closely.

South Korea's Vice Defense Minister Hwang In-moo met Tuesday with Japan's top envoy here, mainly to discuss the North Korea issue, his ministry said.
In the 30-minute talks with Amb. Yasumasa Nagamine, the two exchanged views on the communist nation's nuclear and missile threats.
They agreed on the importance of bilateral and tripartite partnerships also involving the US for an effective response, according to the ministry.
They also noted that Seoul and Japan have been sharing military intelligence without a hitch since they signed a relevant accord last year. The two sides agreed to continue sharing information on the North's provocation, added the ministry.
Their meeting came a day before the ninth session of the Defense Trilateral Talks in Tokyo.
In the deputy defense minister-level gathering, the three regional powers plan to focus on ways to deter Pyongyang from carrying out a nuclear test and further developing its missile program, officials said. (Yonhap)

Question: Giffords shooting survivors: New attack painful reminder

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

Survivors of the mass shooting at a constituent event hosted by former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords say the latest attack at a congressional baseball practice brought back painful memories of the day six were killed and 13 were injured in what was supposed to be a time for citizens to engage in the political process.
Giffords, who now advocates for tighter gun laws through her political action committee, Americans for Responsible Solutions, she was heartbroken over the latest attack. Giffords was the target of an attack by killer Jared Loughner in Tucson on January 8, 2011, and was severely wounded after he shot her in the head. Loughner is serving life in prison.
"This shooting is an attack on all who serve and on all who participate in our democracy," Giffords said in a written statement. "May all Americans come together today with prayers for the survivors, love for their friends and family, and the courage to go about everyday making this country its best. Our nation is resilient, and we always come back stronger."
[RELATED: Giffords tweets support following baseball practice shooting]
Former U.S. Rep. Ron Barber, who at the time was an aide to Giffords and who was also shot, said the Wednesday attack brought back painful memories and was another reminder of how low political discourse has fallen.
"The vitriol, the harsh rhetoric, the personal attacks, they have escalated to a point where I hardly recognize our political process anymore. We have to stop this," Barber said from his Tucson home on Wednesday.
[RELATED: Gunman opens fire at Congressional baseball practice]
Barber said President Donald Trump needs to "come out strongly" in favor of civil discourse. Barber said he was thinking about his former colleagues in Congress, especially House GOP Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana and his family. He added he hopes the public keeps the families of survivors in mind because they too struggle with the trauma.
Scalise, 51, was listed in critical condition after the early morning shooting at a popular park and baseball complex in Alexandria, Virginia, where Republican lawmakers and others had gathered for baseball practice. Police say 66-year-old James T. Hodgkinson, a home inspector from Illinois who had several minor run-ins with the law in recent years and belonged to a Facebook group called "Terminate the Republican Party," was the shooter. Hodgkinson was fatally shot by police.
[RELATED: Sen. Jeff Flake in attendance at baseball game shooting]
"This is a time when I hope everyone will put aside political differences. Political violence has no place in our country," Barber said.
Ken Dorushka, who was shot in the arm while shielding his wife from Loughner, said the latest shooting is a reminder that the government should do more to keep weapons out of the hands of mentally unstable people.
[RELATED: Gabrielle Giffords shot and injured in Tucson]
"This isn't a political issue nor was the one in Tucson," Dorushka said. "Anybody who would willingly take a gun and shoot somebody is unstable regardless of their political bent."
Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Arizona, was at the shooting Wednesday and tended to Scalise. He is friends with Giffords and rushed from Phoenix to the hospital in Tucson six years ago when he heard she was wounded.
Flake said during an interview with CBS "This Morning" that he reached out to Giffords and husband Mark Kelly on Wednesday.
"Those of us in Arizona remember well that situation a few years ago. So, I sure hope that this (brings) more unity, we need it around here," Flake said.

WASHINGTON — The shooting that injured several people, including a member of Congress, at a Republican congressional baseball team practice on Wednesday has re-energized both sides of the gun debate.
Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., who was among the team members at the scene when the shooting happened, offered a forceful statement in support of the Second Amendment when asked whether the experience changes his views on America’s gun situation.
“The Second Amendment right to bear arms is to help ensure that we always have a republic,” he said. “And as with any constitutional provision in the Bill of Rights, there are adverse aspects to each of those rights that we enjoy as people. And what we just saw here is one of the bad side effects of someone not exercising those rights properly.”
Rep. Chris Collins, R-N.Y., who was not at the practice, told a Buffalo television station he has decided to carry his gun with him everywhere as a result of the shooting.
"I have a carry permit," he told WKBW. "On a rare occasion I’d have my gun in the glove box or something, but it’s going to be in my pocket from this day forward."
But Democratic Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe called for more background checks and a closing of the "gun-show loophole," while saying the issue isn't for today's discussion.
"We need to do more to protect all of our citizens," he said during a news conference after the shooting. "This is not what today is about, but there are too many guns on the street."
The shooting occurred on the same day members of Congress were set to hold a hearing on legislation to deregulate gun silencers. The hearing was was among those canceled Wednesday in the wake of the shooting, as the House suspended legislative activity.
The sponsor of the bill, Republican Rep. Jeff Duncan of South Carolina, may have seen the shooter who opened fire on the baseball practice, and he said he gave a statement to police.
“Please pray for my colleagues, I am unsure of their condition," he wrote on Facebook Wednesday morning.
Duncan’s bill is shaping up to be one of the latest flash points in the gun debate, as gun rights advocates say silencers help protect the hearing of hunters and sports shooters while gun control proponents say weakening silencer restrictions undermines public safety.

Who is Steve Scalise? Congressman rose quickly through GOP ranks
Leading up to the hearing, gun control groups accused “gun-lobby backed members” of attempting to “sneak a dangerous provision” into a larger bill. Called the Hearing and Protection Act, the silencer provision is included in the Sportsmen’s Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act package, which has passed the House in three Congresses without the silencer provision.
The SHARE Act aims to expand access to federal lands for hunting, fishing and shooting. One provision would eliminate federal authority to reclassify rifle ammunition as “armor piercing ammunition.”
Duncan’s Hearing Protection Act measure, which has 148 co-sponsors, would remove silencers from the National Firearms Act, which has regulated silencers along with machine guns for more than 80 years. It is backed by the National Rifle Association.
Gun-control groups say the bill puts gun manufacturers’ profits over safety and would allow dangerous people to buy silencers with no background check, just by finding an unlicensed seller. They say crimes with suppressors are rare because the current law works, but the results are devastating when silencers are used.
On Wednesday, gun-control groups’ immediate response to the shooting was support for the victims. Former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot at a 2011 constituent meeting in Tucson, tweeted, “My heart is with my former colleagues, their families & staff, and the US Capitol Police- public servants and heroes today and every day.”
My heart is with my former colleagues, their families & staff, and the US Capitol Police- public servants and heroes today and every day. — Gabrielle Giffords (@GabbyGiffords) June 14, 2017
But gun-control advocates called for congressional action, even as a Republican Congress and president prioritize legislation to protect gun rights.
"Americans across the political spectrum are fed up with lawmakers’ inaction in the face of this epidemic of gun violence," a statement from the Progressive Change Campaign Committee says. "We need Democrats and Republicans to work together on common-sense gun reform that is supported by a majority of Americans and would save countless lives.”
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, of California, the Judiciary Committee’s top-ranking Democrat, wished all victims "a speedy recovery," and said, "This kind of mindless violence must stop, and I’m dedicated to doing all I can to putting an end to these senseless tragedies."

Question: Univision formally announces Vincent Sadusky as CEO

Univision Communications Inc. announced on Wednesday that Vincent Sadusky will be its next chief executive officer, taking over the Spanish-language media giant as it grapples with difficult times.
Sadusky is a veteran of the Hispanic-media world, having previously worked for Telemundo, Univision's main rival.
"Vince is distinctly qualified to lead UCI through the next phase of its growth, given his impressive track record of leadership, vision, deep industry experience and relationships," Haim Saban, chairman of Univision's board of directors,said in a statement. "This is a unique moment for UCI, and we believe that we have the right strategy and team in place to execute on the opportunities in front of us. On behalf of the entire Board, we look forward to working with Vince to achieve great success for UCI."
Starting on Friday, Sadusky will take the CEO reins over from Randy Falco, who announced in March that he plans to retire by the end of the year. Falco's announcement came as a surprise because the Univision board had just renewed his contract through 2020 a few months earlier.
"I know it was only a few months after I signed a new two-year deal, but I felt that at age 65 I wanted to end my time as CEO earlier than planned," he said at the time. Falco will stay as an adviser to Univision through the end of the year.
In his statement on Wednesday, Saban praised Falco's eight years with Univision, transforming it "into a modern media organization with a diverse portfolio of assets, sterling brands and content that audiences and marketers want, backed by strong earnings growth, a significantly improved balance sheet and a team of motivated and purpose-driven employees."
In his own statement, Falco said on Wednesday that leading Univision "has been one of the most personally and professionally rewarding experiences of my life."
"So much has changed -- and will continue to change -- in the media landscape but through it all one thing remains true: no other media company serves and supports Hispanic America like UCI, something that is more important than ever in our world today," he said. "I believe wholeheartedly in UCI's mission and vision and am confident that the Company will remain on a path for continued success with Vince leading the way."
Bloomberg was the first to report last week that Univision was planning to name Sadusky as CEO.
Earlier this month, the company announced an 18% drop in first quarter profits from the year before, though it remains a ratings giant.
At around the same time Falco announced his planned retirement, Univision also said it was calling off a long-planned public offering and conducting a review of the business that could lead to cost cuts, the Wall Street Journal reported at the time.
A source with knowledge of the company and its board said that some of the board members were "disappointed" in Falco and tasked him with cutting costs and brought in the Boston Consulting Group to help him do so.
"Slashing and burning," the source said. "They're cutting an enormous amount of money out of the television and digital organization. I've never seen anything like it."
In March, Saban refuted reports that the board was unhappy with Falco, saying that the board "reluctantly agreed to Randy's wishes" to retire early, adding "we could not be more pleased with his performance."
The next question is whether Sadusky will oversee Univision as it considers a possible sale. In his last job as CEO of Media General, Sadusky oversaw the sale of the company to Nexstar Broadcasting Group in 2016.
In a statement on Wednesday, Sadusky said he is "eager" to work with Univision's "talented team to enhance the Company's leadership position and underscore its crucial role as a source of news and information."
"Over the last few months, [Univision] has taken a number of steps to evolve and thrive in today's rapidly changing media environment and I am committed to ensuring the Company is in the best position possible to serve its audiences for decades to come," he said.
The Univision Network is a CNN newsgathering partner.

Lexmark International, Lexington’s iconic maker of printers and a key economic engine here for decades, announced Wednesday morning that its new CEO, David Reeder, has resigned.
“All of the Lexmark family want to thank David Reeder for his impressive efforts as CEO of the company, and as CFO as well,” Mickey Kantor, chairman of the Lexmark Board of Directors, said in a statement. “We wish him and his family the best in the future.”
Reeder was hired as CFO in 2015. He became CEO after the company was sold last year to a Chinese-based consortium.
The news release said Reeder left for “personal reasons” and that a search for a new leader was commencing.
The company said Brock Saladin, senior vice president and chief revenue officer, and Allen Waugerman, senior vice president and chief technology officer, would lead the company in the interim.

Two New Jersey lottery players – one who bought a ticket in Monmouth County – missed the Powerball Jackpot Saturday by two numbers.
The Powerball Jackpot is still out there, rising to $229 Million. The next drawing is set for Wednesday at 10:59 p.m.
The Monmouth County ticket was sold at Stop & Shop at 160 Village Center Dr. in Freehold Township. It will bring the winner $250,000.
It would have been $50,000 but that player also purchased Power Play for an extra $1, which multiplies the take depending on the Power Play number drawn that night, five in this case.
WINNER: NJ man wins scratch-off lottery ticket's $1 million prize
The Essex County ticket, sold at the Partner Mini Market 2 at 156 Hawthorne Ave. in Newark, won the ticket holder $50,000 for the $2 ticket.
Neither of the two Dec. 9 winners have stepped forward yet. Winners usually claim their prize within a week or two, said Dean Ialacci, spokesman for the New Jersey Lottery.
Those are both third-place prizes. They picked four out of five white balls and not the red Power Ball. Players win second place if they pick all five white balls. The take is $1 million, $2 million if Power Play is purchased.
WINNER: Lakehurst Jersey Cash 5 ticket to split $237,238 jackpot
The winning numbers for the Saturday, Dec. 9 drawing were: 25, 36, 37, 55 and 60. The red Power Ball number was 06.
Another 33,009 New Jersey players also won that night, an estimated $206,041 in all. Those prizes ranged from $4 to $500, according to Lottery Executive Director Carole Hedinger.

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has hit back at France Football Federation president Noel Le Graet after he claimed that the national team had moved on from him.
Benzema hasn't played for France since 2015 against Armenia following controversial blackmail claims involving compatriot Mathieu Valbuena.
Despite his strong form for Spanish giants Real Madrid over the years, Benzema has been overlooked and again missed out on France's World Cup squad in Russia.
Karim Benzema has slammed France Football Federation president Noel Le Graet
And the president of FFF, Le Graet, who has in the past been one of the few individuals backing Benzema, has now made it clear that the squad must look to the future and forget about him.
'This is an old story, and we can't go back,' he explained to L'Equipe.
'Everyone agrees that he's a great player, he's always a starter with Real Madrid, but with France, he's part of the history.
Le Graet (centre) claims France have a 'certain style' and must look forward without Benzmea
'Our team now has a certain style, and we can't go back on that.'
And after hearing of these quotes, the 30-year-old was quick to respond as he took to Twitter to air his frustrations.
Benzema said: 'Mr. Graet, with all due respect, you've lost an opportunity to remain silent.
'I've discovered your true face, and this isn't the one that said he appreciated me and wouldn't discuss the subject of team selections.'

Question: Book remembers devastating 1973 fire at gay New Orleans bar

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

NEW ORLEANS — On Sunday June 24, 1973, dozens of patrons had gathered at the Up Stairs Lounge, a gay bar in New Orleans when an arsonist set fire to the building. Within minutes, the flames engulfed the bar, killing 32 patrons. Now author Robert W. Fieseler has come out with a new book “Tinderbox: The Untold Story of the Up Stairs Lounge Fire and the Rise of Gay Liberation,” that details the fire and its aftermath:
WRITING THE BOOK
As a gay man, Fieseler said he thought he knew a lot about the gay liberation movement but then in 2013, his journalism professor — who was from the New Orleans area — told him about the fire: “I was fascinated and compelled. I thought that this was this inherently important history.”
On a personal level, writing the book was also a way to reconnect with a relative whose death had been an important turning point in Fieseler’s life, a gay man who had died of AIDS when Fieseler was 13. Attending his funeral was “life-changing” for Fieseler as he went from feeling that he was entirely alone to understanding that there were other gay men like him.
THE LIFE OF A BAR
Fieseler describes in the book how the Up Stairs Lounge had a family-like atmosphere in some ways where manager Buddy Rasmussen ran a tight ship: no hustling of patrons, no sloppy drunks and no drug use. The bar’s customers often put on theatrical performances, sometimes written by the wife of a customs agent who frequented the bar. Fieseler writes the Lounge became “an oasis where regular customers felt safe, less a hook-up space than a hangout where friends and lovers could exhale and be themselves.”
THE FIRE’S AFTERMATH
The fire was front-page news but only briefly. There was no public outpouring of grief and no rushing of top political figures to the scene. In the aftermath, survivors and friends of those who perished worried they might be accidentally revealed as being gay.
No one was ever arrested for the blaze, although Fieseler writes about how investigators keyed into one main suspect in the fire — a disgruntled bar patron who’d been kicked out earlier in the day and had been heard threatening to burn the place down. It wasn’t until 2003 that a plaque commemorating the fire’s victims was laid.
New Orleans was a conflicted place for the gay community at the time of the fire, Fieseler says. In some ways, the city was a haven for the gay community where people could be themselves. But there were also raids on gay bars, harassment, and discrimination: “An individual who was quiet and who was closeted gay, could find companionship, could find love and joy, could have a job, could have a house, so long as this individual never spoke the dreaded H. word.”
PULSE NIGHTCLUB SHOOTING
About halfway into Fieseler’s four-year book writing process, a gunman killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. The June 2016 shooting eclipsed the Up Stairs Lounge fire as the single-biggest loss of life for the LGBT community but also re-focused attention on the New Orleans fire, Fieseler said. Posts and stories about the New Orleans fire began appearing on social media as the Pulse nightclub shooting was discussed. Fieseler said the heightened attention on the 1973 fire gave him greater emotional urgency as a “piece of history I was writing about truly spoke to the present moment.”
It also spurred many people who had been reluctant to speak about the fire to come forward.
“Their reticence was replaced with urgency,” he said. “In the context of the Pulse nightclub shooting they thought that telling their story and bearing witness might do a greater good.”
RELIGION AND THE GAY COMMUNITY
A recurring topic in the book is the connection between the Metropolitan Community Church and the lounge. The MCC is a nationwide church started in 1968 to minister to gays, lesbians, bisexual and transgender people.
For a time, the MCC’s New Orleans branch held services in the lounge and about a third of the fire victims were members of the church including the pastor. Troy Perry, who founded the church, came to New Orleans quickly after the fire to assist. Fieseler wanted to explore these connections in the book:
“For me, really the idea of queer faith was so compelling because I’d never really heard of it before or heard it explored in an in-depth way as it related to early gay liberation culture. And especially as I delved into the early history of gay liberation movements, it’s virtually impossible to talk about that movement … without also addressing how important these queer religious organizations were at the time,” Fieseler said.

Question: Kids with rare rapid-aging disease get hope from study drug

Children with a rare, incurable disease that causes rapid aging and early death may live longer if treated with an experimental drug first developed for cancer patients, a study suggests.
The small, preliminary study isn't proof the drug works and it found only a small benefit: Treated children with the disease progeria were more likely than others to survive during the two-year study. But some kids taking the drug in this and other studies have lived into their late teens. Researchers and others say the results suggest a potential breakthrough for a heartbreaking condition that typically kills kids before they reach adulthood.
"Anything we can do to try to provide them hope of a longer life is well worth doing and well worth celebrating," said Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, who was not part of the new study. A geneticist, Collins led laboratory experiments that in 2003 identified the genetic basis for the disease, formally known as Hutchinson-Gilford progeria.
Among 27 children with progeria who got the drug lonafarnib, one died during the 2007-2010 study. That's compared with nine of 27 untreated children with the disease. Thirteen of the treated children are still alive; most began taking other experimental drugs too.
"For the first time ever we have a drug that is shown to extend lifespan for children with progeria," said lead author Dr. Leslie Gordon of Brown University. Her son was a study participant and died in 2014 at age 17.
The results were published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The study, conducted at Boston Children's Hospital, was unusually designed, comparing children given the drug with other progeria patients worldwide who weren't enrolled in the study. The untreated kids were matched as closely as possible with study participants by age, gender and other characteristics, but they weren't a standard control group and didn't receive dummy medication.
That design weakens the study conclusions, said Dr. Howard Worman, a Columbia University biologist. "You really cannot say anything 'worked' without a contemporary placebo control."
The children in the study were also involved in earlier research testing the same drug combined with two others. Within a period of about five years, survival was extended by about 19 months. It wasn't clear if all three drugs or just one or two of them contributed to the improvement. Lonafarnib also appeared to reduce blood vessel damage.
Average life expectancy for progeria children is about 14 years. Though many die younger, usually from heart attacks or strokes, some lonafarnib-treated kids have lived to their late teens.
For parents, who want to see their children grow up, that sliver of extra time is a bittersweet blessing.
"If you're a mom and you're told that life expectancy is 13 years, that 1.6 years is gold," said Heather Unsinger. Her 7-year-old daughter, Carly, was a study participant and has been taking lonafarnib since age 3. "But it's really hard to jump up and down."
Affected children are typically small, bald and fragile-looking but intellectually normal. Carly "has full-throttle dreams" and envisions becoming an art teacher one day, her mom said.
Other kids "always think I'm a baby," Carly said. But "I'm a regular kid."
Progeria is caused by a mutation in a gene that regulates production of a protein that helps shape and support the nucleus of cells throughout the body. In normal aging, the protein accumulates in cells but in children with progeria, an abnormal buildup occurs that severely damages cells. Lonafarnib helps block that abnormal buildup.
The disease affects about 1 in 20 million people. It is a chance mutation and isn't inherited. Affected children are born looking healthy, but fail to grow normally, lose body fat and hair and develop aged-looking skin, stiff joints and diseased arteries.
Lonafarnib was initially developed as a potential cancer treatment but without much success. Schering Plough/Merck supplied the study drug; the research was paid for by the Progeria Research Foundation.
Gordon, the lead author, and her husband, Dr. Scott Berns, started the foundation in 1999 after their son, Sam, was diagnosed. She is continuing to study lonafarnib and other drugs in kids with progeria.
University of Washington geneticist Dr. Fuki Hisama predicted that lonafarnib will eventually become standard treatment for progeria, though not a cure.
The study "gives other people the message that there is hope for rare diseases," said Hisama, who wrote an accompanying journal editorial.

Engel's son, Henry, is alive because his mutation isn’t severe enough to kill him, although it has affected the toddler's cognitive and motor skills. The protein produced by his cells is somewhat functional, albeit at lower levels than optimal.
“In Henry’s case, it doesn’t totally inactivate the protein,” said Dr. Huda Zoghbi, one of Henry’s doctors and the discoverer of the gene for Rett. “But it’s not functioning fully and not at 100 percent at normal level.”
Engel and his wife, Mary Forrest, knew early on that something wasn't right with their son, Henry. Even as the boy approached the second year of his life, he couldn’t talk or clap his hands. He also couldn't walk or even sit up straight, Engel told TODAY on Tuesday.
“It was a mystery and we thought, ‘Okay, well, there are late bloomers,’” Engel said.

The MeCP2 protein, it turns out, is very important for building connections in the brain, said Dr. Jeffrey Neul, a Rett specialist and a professor of pediatrics and director of the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center. “This gene works inside the nucleus — the control center — of the cell,” Neul said. “It’s controlling what other genes and proteins are made within the cell in response to stimuli.”
Without enough functional protein, the brain can’t cement connections that are built when a person acquires new abilities, such as walking and talking.
There may be a potential for actually making things better or even significantly reversing the disease. Now the challenge is figuring out how you do that. There may be a potential for actually making things better or even significantly reversing the disease. Now the challenge is figuring out how you do that.
Henry has offered researchers a window on the disease and made it easier to study because every single cell in his body has the mutated gene, said Zoghbi, an investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and a professor and director of the Texas Children’s Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Baylor College of Medicine.
Fortunately, the disease doesn’t kill brain cells. So if a way can be found to boost levels of the protein or correct the actual gene, people with the disease would be able to start learning everything they couldn’t before treatment. And this might result in a complete cure, especially in children.

The most promising evidence for that comes from animal studies, Neul said. Using a mouse model that allowed the gene to be turned off and on, researchers showed that when the gene wasn’t working, the mice developed Rett-like symptoms. When the gene was turned back on, the mice got better, Neul said.
“That told us where to go,” he added. “And that there may be a potential for actually making things better or even significantly reversing the disease. Now the challenge is figuring out how you do that. That initial work gave us a lot of hope.”
Researchers are using Henry's cells with hopes of finding a key to treatment. Courtesy Richard Engel
Some groups are working on a treatment that would help girls, by turning on the working copy of the gene in cells currently running with the dysfunctional one, said neurologist Dr. David Lieberman, director of the Rett Clinic at Harvard Medical School’s Boston Children’s Hospital. Another group is looking at the possibility of using gene therapy to deliver normal copies of the gene to cells in the brain, Lieberman said.
“There’s one caveat with gene therapy,” Lieberman said. “There exists another disorder, described first by Huda Zoghbi, if there are too many copies of the MeCP2 gene. So you have to be able to adjust the protein level so there’s enough, but not too much.”
While a cure isn’t likely to happen soon, “I think we’re on the right path,” Zoghbi said. “I think the technology, and the genetic approaches, and everything that’s available, empowers us. It’s hard to say we’re close. We’re just starting. We have to do the work.”

Question: Russians win hockey gold with 4-3 OT win over Germany

GANGNEUNG, South Korea (AP) The Olympic anthem was merely background noise, the doping scandal the farthest thing from their minds.
As the white flag with the five Olympic rings rose toward the rafters Sunday following the gold medal game in men’s hockey, the champion Russians in their nondescript red-and-white uniforms joined their fans cloaked in red, white and blue and belted out the ”State Anthem of the Russian Federation,” drowning out the recorded song that was required as part of International Olympic Committee sanctions.
This Olympic title meant so much more to the Russians, no matter that the tournament was missing NHL players and the ”Olympic Athletes from Russia” were all here only after months of scandal.
Joyous players tossed coach Oleg Znarok in the air at center ice as fans let out the same ”ROSS-I-YA” chants that filled the arena in Sochi four years ago, where home ice meant nothing as the Russians lost in the quarterfinals. There was no such disappointment this time as the Russians triumphed in the tournament they were favored to win, capturing gold with a 4-3 overtime victory over Germany after Kirill Kaprizov’s power-play goal capped a classic final and gave the nation a jubilant moment following weeks of disappointment.
”We understood the whole thing from the start so we were calm about it,” coach Oleg Znarok said. ”Russia is in our hearts.”
The win came only a few hours after the IOC decided against allowing the Russians to march under their flag in the closing ceremony Sunday night after a curler and a bobsledder had positive drug tests during the games.
It didn’t seem to matter to the Russian players that they couldn’t wear the Russian Coat of Arms on their chests or that they won their first hockey gold medal since 1992 under the same circumstances as 26 years ago: playing under a neutral flag with the NHL opting to stay home after participating in the past five Olympics.
”The medal is the same with or without the NHL,” said defenseman Slava Voynov, who scored the opening goal with 0.5 seconds left in the first period. ”Maybe the tournament was a little different, but the emotions and happiness are the same.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin made a telephone call to Znarok after the victory, which gave the country its second gold and 17th overall medal of the Olympics.
Even with Alex Ovechkin, Evgeni Malkin and Sergei Bobrovsky back in North America, this gold medal was particularly sweet because of the backdrop of sanctions and the Russians’ almost three-decade drought. After International Ice Hockey Federation President Rene Fasel put the first Russian hockey medals of any color since 2002 around the necks of each player, Russian Hockey Federation President Vladislav Tretiak – a three-time Olympic gold medalist and Soviet Hall of Fame goaltender – gave out handshakes and hugs.
Winning this gold medal at his fifth Olympics meant more to 39-year-old captain Pavel Datsyuk than the two times he lifted the Stanley Cup.
”When you play for your country and I win this medal, this special time it’s more important,” Datsyuk said. ”I have accomplished my dream. Now I have no dream.”
The dream Russia couldn’t reach with NHL stars finally happened with Kaprizov scoring the winner on the power play 9:40 into overtime as Patrick Reimer sat in the penalty box for a high-sticking infraction.
A silver medal gave Germany its best finish at the Olympics after capturing bronze in 1932 and 1976.
”We all thought we would be sitting at home watching that final on the couch at home, but here we are,” Germany coach Marco Sturm said. ”The boys are going to bring silver home, and they should be very proud.”
Beating Germany, which stunned eventual bronze-medalist Canada to reach the final , gave the Russians their first gold medal in hockey since 1992 in Albertville when they competed as the Community of Independent States.
This one was expected all along.
Stocked with former NHL players – Datsyuk, Voynov, Ilya Kovalchuk, Mikhail Grigorenko and Nikita Nesterov – the Russians were by far the most talented team in the tournament. U.S. coach Tony Granato said they may be as good as 20 of the 31 NHL teams.
Oddsmakers made the Russians the favorite, and they showed it after an opening loss to Slovakia, getting better as the tournament went on, which was a complete reversal from Sochi.
”It means a lot,” said Kovalchuk, who was voted tournament MVP. ”This was my dream from when I was 5 years old when I started to play.”
The skill primarily from the Kontinental Hockey League was on full display with the gold medal at stake – and the Russians needed it against disciplined, opportunistic Germany, which had all of its players from leagues in its homeland.
Voynov, at the Olympics because he was banned from the NHL in 2015 for a domestic abuse conviction, scored what could’ve been a back-breaking goal with 0.5 seconds left in the first period, but Germany got a good bounce on a fluky tying goal by Felix Schultz midway through the second. That set the stage for a wild third period.
Russia’s Nikita Gusev scored when his shot bounced in off the helmet of Danny aus den Birken, but Dominik Kahun answered 10 seconds later. And when Jonas Muller slid the puck past Russian goaltender Vasily Koshechkin with 3:16 left and then Russia took a high-sticking penalty, it appeared like a major upset was on tap.
Instead, with Koshechkin pulled for the extra attacker to make it 5-on-5, Gusev scored again to help send the game to overtime. A penalty on Reimer gave Russia a power play and Kaprizov scored one of the biggest goals in Russian hockey history.
The Russians and Germany gave viewers something to remember to wrap up a tournament that was otherwise forgettable because of the lack of NHL stars and tepid interest in a nontraditional hockey country.
As dejected German players stood waiting for their silver medals, Russian players skated a lap around the ice to wave at and thank the fans who came to support them at an Olympics where they seemed like outcasts.
”With the support of our fans and loved ones, a big thank you,” Datsyuk said. ”It is not an easy time for us and it means a lot to us.”

Question: Pervert filmed family, including young boy, getting changed in Mansfield leisure centre

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

A pervert has avoided a custodial sentence after he admitted using a camera to film people who were getting changed at a leisure centre in Mansfield.
Martin Socha, 44, of Dozen Drive, Mansfield, appeared at Nottingham Crown Court today having pleaded guilty to two counts of voyeurism at a previous hearing on April 27.
In September 2017, police received a report that a family with a five-year-old boy, were getting changed in a cubicle in the unisex changing room at Water Meadows when they noticed a device being held above them. The alarm was raised and Socha was detained until police arrived.
Following his arrest, officers found a small spy camera device in his sock which was still switched on, and evidence that he had also been spying on another woman.
Socha was sentenced to a three-month community order and given a three-year sex offender program and a five year Serious Harm Prevention Order.
Detective Constable, Ben Skellern, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "Socha completely violated these people's privacy when he filmed them getting changed at their local leisure centre. Although he didn’t get a custodial, his sentenced means that he will be monitored and prevented from doing anything like this again. Voyeurism of any kind is taken incredibly seriously, and we will not tolerate it in Nottinghamshire."

Question: N.Korea earned $200 mln from banned exports, sends arms to Syria, Myanmar -UN report

By Michelle Nichols
North Korea violated United Nations sanctions to earn nearly $200 million in 2017 from banned commodity exports, according to a confidential report by independent U.N. monitors, which also accused Pyongyang of supplying weapons to Syria and Myanmar.
The report to a U.N. Security Council sanctions committee, seen by Reuters on Friday, said North Korea had shipped coal to ports, including in Russia, China, South Korea, Malaysia and Vietnam, mainly using false paperwork that showed countries such as Russia and China as the coal origin, instead of North Korea.
The 15-member council has unanimously boosted sanctions on North Korea since 2006 in a bid to choke funding for Pyongyang’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs, banning exports including coal, iron, lead, textiles and seafood, and capping imports of crude oil and refined petroleum products.
“The DPRK (North Korea) is already flouting the most recent resolutions by exploiting global oil supply chains, complicit foreign nationals, offshore company registries and the international banking system,” the U.N. monitors wrote in the 213-page report.
The North Korean mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the U.N. report. Russia and China have repeatedly said they are implementing U.N. sanctions on North Korea.
SYRIA, MYANMAR
The monitors said they had investigated ongoing ballistic missile cooperation between Syria and Myanmar, including more than 40 previously unreported North Korea shipments between 2012 and 2017 to Syria’s Scientific Studies and Research Centre, which oversees the country’s chemical weapons program.
The investigation has shown “further evidence of arms embargo and other violations, including through the transfer of items with utility in ballistic missile and chemical weapons programs,” the U.N. monitors wrote.
They also inspected cargo from two North Korea shipments intercepted by unidentified countries en route to Syria. Both contained acid-resistant tiles that could cover an area equal to a large scale industrial project, the monitors reported.
One country, which was not identified, told the monitors the seized shipments can “be used to build bricks for the interior wall of a chemical factory.”
Syria agreed to destroy its chemical weapons in 2013. However, diplomats and weapons inspectors suspect Syria may have secretly maintained or developed a new chemical weapons capability.
The Syrian mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the U.N. report.
The U.N. monitors also said one country, which they did not identify, reported it had evidence that Myanmar received ballistic missile systems from North Korea, along with conventional weapons, including multiple rocket launchers and surface-to-air missiles.
Myanmar U.N. Ambassador Hau Do Suan said the Myanmar government “has no ongoing arms relationship, whatsoever, with North Korea” and is abiding by the U.N. Security Council resolutions.
BANNED EXPORTS, IMPORTS
Under a 2016 resolution, the U.N. Security Council capped coal exports and required countries to report any imports of North Korean coal to the council sanctions committee. It then banned all exports of coal by North Korea on Aug. 5.
The U.N. monitors investigated 16 coal shipments between January and Aug. 5 to ports in Russia, China, Malaysia and Vietnam. They said Malaysia reported one shipment to the council committee and the remaining 15 shipments violated sanctions.
After the coal ban was imposed on Aug. 5, the U.N. monitors investigated 23 coal shipments to ports in Russia, China, South Korea and Vietnam. The U.N. monitors said all those shipments “would constitute a violation of the resolution, if confirmed.”
“The DPRK combined deceptive navigation patterns, signals manipulation, transshipments as well as fraudulent documentation to obscure the origin of the coal,” the monitors said.
The U.N. monitors “also investigated cases of ship-to-ship transfers of petroleum products in violation (of U.N. sanctions) … and found that the network behind these vessels is primarily based in Taiwan province of China.”
The monitors said one country, which they did not name, told them North Korea had carried out such transfers off its ports of Wonsan and Nampo and in international waters between the Yellow Sea and East China Sea between October and January.
The report said several multinational oil companies, which were not named, were also being investigated for roles in the supply chain of petroleum products transferred to North Korea.

Question: Food safety probe extends to Scunthorpe chicken factory

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has extended its investigation into alleged safety failures by the 2 Sisters poultry group to the company's Scunthorpe factory on the Foxhills Industrial Estate.
The move follows an initial inspection by the FSA into the hygiene and labelling concerns raised by an undercover investigation by ITN News and the Guardian newspaper last month at 2 Sisters’ West Bromwich plant.
An agency spokeswoman said: "This inspection has not identified food safety issues on these premises, but it highlighted issues requiring management attention, for example in relation to some aspects of staff training and stock control.
"We can confirm that the Scunthorpe site is one of the other sites that will be inspected.
"We are working with the major retailers supplied by 2 Sisters, as well as reviewing information from various other sources.
"We have also written formally to ITN and the Guardian to request the full evidence taken by their undercover investigation, such as the footage taken and witness interview transcripts to assist our investigation."
Heather Hancock, the chairwoman of the Food Standards Agency said: "Consumers deserve food they can trust, and can be reassured that we take allegations of poor practice very seriously. Although our initial inspection found no risk to public health, we are broadening our investigations until we are satisfied that this is truly the case.
"I’m disappointed that ITN and the Guardian have not yet provided the information that they committed to share and I would urge anyone who has evidence to share to bring it directly to us."
A spokesman for 2 Sisters, which employs 1,200 people in Scunthorpe, said: "We receive regular audits at all our English and Welsh sites by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) throughout the year, so of course we will welcome our FSA colleagues at any location they wish to inspect in the coming days."

The Belgian food security authority, Afsca, said at least three nations had received faslely labelled meat products Belgium on Monday said at least three nations had received falsely labelled meat products from an abattoir in the south of the country in what it called a "significant" food fraud operation.
The Belgian food security authority, Afsca, said Hong Kong, Ivory Coast and Kosovo had been recipients until the end of 2016 of meat distributed by the food company Veviba, including products that had the dates they were frozen on changed.
Agriculture Minister Denis Ducarme accused Veviba of using "mafia practices" when it came to distributing meat.
A report by Afsca said that the three nations affected had been notified of the problem.
The affair has caused a minor scandal in Belgium after several European food scares in recent years.
Last year consumers received a scare and producers were forced to destroy millions of eggs after eggs tainted by an insecticide were discovered to have been delivered to around 45 countries, including 26 EU member states.

Question: Minimum wage hike threatens 185,000 jobs: Study

Up to 185,000 jobs could be put at risk if Ontario’s Liberal government keeps its pledge to increase the minimum wage to $15.
Those are the findings of an “independent assessment” of Bill 148, the Liberal’s Fair Workplaces Better Jobs Act. The bill will hike the minimum wage — currently set to rise with inflation from $11.40 an hour to $11.60 in October, up to $14 on Jan. 1, 2018, and $15 the following year.
But the according to a study commissioned by Ontario’s Chamber of Commerce, the bill will put jobs at risk and have “dramatic unintended consequences.” Chamber vice- president Karl Baldauf said the province needs to slow down and amend its legislation.
“Should the government move forward with these vast, unprecedented reforms, there will be significant, sudden and sizable uncertainty for jobs and economic growth in Ontario,” he said. The report also says that Ontario businesses will see a $23 billion “hit” over the next two years because of the legislation. While the changes won’t cause mass layoffs, they will kill job growth, said Paul Smetanin, president of the Canadian Centre for Economic Analysis, which conducted the study.
“The results are not sensationalized,” Smetanin said. “We have been conservative in adopting what literature suggests. It pains us to have to deliver such a message.”
The report also estimates there will be costs for the Ontario government itself. Increased costs associated with the bill will add $440 million in debt to the province’s treasury.
“As I go from community to community, the thing that I’m hearing over and over again is that these changes are all too much too fast,” he said.
Labour Minister Kevin Flynn said the government will review the findings the report. It’s one of a “long list” of studies on the topic, he added.
“We recognize there are concerns from the business community,” he said in a statement. “We’ve worked hard to make sure Ontario’s business climate is competitive, and we are committed to working with the business community to bring forward initiatives that will improve our competitiveness even more.
That being said, we will not back down from our plan to bring fairness to Ontarians.”
Progressive Conservative labour critic John Yakabuski said the Liberal government needs to conduct its own economic impact study of the new bill.
“It’ll be a tragedy if all of these 185,000 people are put out of work,” Yakabuski said in a statement. “A higher minimum wage doesn’t help if Ontarians don’t have a job to wake up to in the morning.”

Small businesses will be hit hard: CFIB
ANTONELLA ARTUSO
An economic analysis of proposed labour law changes including a $15-an-hour minimum wage confirms that small businesses are going to get hit hard, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) says.
Julie Kwiecinski, the CFIB’s director of provincial affairs in Ontario, said its own member survey shows that one-third are considering shutting down or moving in response to the mandatory wage hikes beginning with a $14-an-hour minimum on Jan. 1.
“Unfortunately, we have felt and seen the government do their eye rolls at us... not believing what we were saying in our survey,” Kwiecinski said Monday. “They’re scared, they’re worried that this is actually going to start taking effect on Jan. 1.”
A report prepared by the Canadian Centre for Economic Analysis (CANCEA), on behalf of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and the Keep Ontario Working Coalition, says small businesses are five times more likely to be impacted by the new provincial labour legislation than large companies.
The government bill goes before a committee next week when MPPs will have the chance to introduce amendments, she said.
“If people think it’s bad now, it could get worse in terms of the cost to business and jobs when the whole process is said and done,” Kwiecinski said.
The Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) issued a statement Monday dismissing the findings of the CANCEA analysis as “inaccurate, incomplete and just not responsible.”
The “corporate lobby” analysis fails to consider economic benefits to raising the minimum wage such as higher consumer spending and reduced demand on social services, the OFL statement says.
Peer-reviewed economic research has found that contrary to the report’s claim that 185,000 jobs are at risk, increases in minimum wage have “very small, if any impacts” on employment levels, the statement says.
CANCEA said in its report that it is independent and does not accept any research funding that requires a pre-determined result or policy stance.

A total of 123 schools and 2,654 students from around the world competed at the recent National High School Model United Nations competition, but two North Shore schools managed to stand out from the pack.
Both Highland Park High School and Rochelle Zell Jewish High School in Deerfield were winners of the first place Award of Distinction at the contest earlier this month in New York. The schools showed the necessary “consensus, collaboration, and compromise” to win, according to an organization official.
“It is a qualitative award,” said Allison Koehler, the organization’s secretary general. “We are recognizing students whose contributions are critical to the success of their committees. Winners embody the values of consensus, collaboration, and compromise that the UN itself stands for. Highland Park and Rochelle Zell have extremely impressive Model UN programs.”
Koehler said approximately half the participants come from outside the United States with 37 nations represented in the most recent event.
For Rochelle Zell, this was the fourth straight year its team has taken first place honors. Highland Park earned a first-place trophy for the first time since 2012, according to Joe Brysiewicz, one of Highland Park’s two faculty advisers along with Lindsey Choy.
Collaboration and consensus building are key parts of Rochelle Zell’s strategy, according to Joey Schrayer, a senior and Highland Park resident. While meeting with students from other teams representing different countries with varied interests, he said the goal is to bring them together.
“We try to get everybody working for the greater good,” Schrayer said. “Everybody has to feel good about a resolution to make it work.”
Emma Mati, a Rochelle Zell senior from Glenview, said the goal is to work with participants from other teams representing other nations to get everyone on the same page.

Highland Park employs a similar philosophy, according to Brysiewicz. He said cooperation is stressed over competitiveness.
“A lot of people go into this with the idea it’s a competition,” Brysiewicz said. “It’s about bringing people together to resolve problems together. You want to bounce ideas off each other to come to a position.”
Mati and Schrayer along with teammates Ethan Laney, a senior and the team president, and Eli Nasatir, a senior from Highland Park, have never known anything but first place. Laney said each success builds for the future.
“It’s important because of the value it has for the younger students to succeed,” Laney said. “The expectation each year is we are going to do better than the year before.”
By better, Laney said he means improved preparation and speaking.
Last year, Highland Park arrived late because of complications from a snow storm, according to Jack Kramer. A senior, he is a Highland Park Model UN co-president with Joni Rosenberg and Leah Elster. They also failed to place at a smaller conference in Chicago in December adding to the motivation to improve.
“When we didn’t get first, second or third, we started working really hard,” Rosenberg said. “When we went to New York we really wanted it to be a success.”
Members of both the Highland Park and Rochelle Zell teams said they know each other with Elster calling it a “friendly rivalry.”
“It was nice to see them join us in the winner’s circle,” Nasatir said.

Heading into the 2018 GRAMMY nomination season, many expected Ed Sheeran to sweep numerous categories. While he was nominated for two GRAMMYs – Best Pop Solo Performance (“Shape Of You”) and Best Pop Vocal Album (Divide) — Sheeran isn’t on the ballot for the biggest awards, including Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Song of the Year.”

In a recent interview, Sheeran said he wasn’t upset when he found out about the snub; in fact, he believes it was ‘meant to be.’
“There’s a very clear reason why that happened and it’s bigger than me, like much bigger than me. And like it’s just something that, again, it was just meant to be,” he told Billboard. “That is the way that this year was meant to roll out.”
Sheeran added that he has everything going for him, and he has received numerous recent honors and accolades, so why complain?
“You know, I’m not dying. It’s not like I’m never gonna be nominated for a Grammy again,” he said. “And I was nominated for two GRAMMYs. This is why everything’s meant to be. The week after that, I get an MBE from the palace, I go Number One on Spotify, I go Number One on Billboard. I’m about to have my second ever Billboard Number One. Like, there’s so many other things in the mix that counterbalance it.”
“That’s just the way I live my life,” he concluded. “When one door closes, another door opens. You’ll really, really send yourself mental if you think into things too much, and I’m just so easy-going when it comes to that.”
