Question: 11 Cute Galaxy S8 Cases Available Right Now (2018)

Price: $9.58
8. Lontect Floral Butterfly Grade

Manufacturer Belk provides yet another solid wallet option with its Protective Case that comes in four vibrant colors.
This flip cover will protect your phone on all sides, with PU leather exterior and an interior polycarbonate shell.
As is typical of this case style, you can flip the cover around to serve as a kickstand. It would have been nice to see a larger capacity for cards for a so-called “wallet case,” but the single card holder is still nice to have.
Price: $13.99 (65 percent off MSRP)
11. Joyleop Unicorn Bumper Case
So this case is straight up adorable. Unicorns are my personal favorite animal, so this pink unicorn bumper case feels like it was specially made for me.
This rubbery TPU case absorbs shock and turns them into good vibes with its bright colors and extra large 3D graphic on the back.
Naturally, this isn’t the most pocket-friendly case, but I’d be lying if I said this isn’t the cutest Galaxy S8 case ever.
Price: $8.99

Question: Police: Don't share disturbing video of apparent child porn, even if seeking justice

Represent this text to find a news title for it

CINCINNATI -- People are sharing a disturbing video of apparent child pornography on Facebook, saying they want the perpetrator to be found.
Police say that's exactly the wrong thing to do.
Several people sent the video to Scripps station WCPO in Cincinnati, which appears to depict an underage girl performing oral sex on an adult man. Many of the messages included the phrase "I want this to go viral." There's no indication where or when it was recorded, or who's in it.
Law enforcement agencies from Alabama to France have gotten complaints as the video continues to spread, AL.com reported. According to the Buffalo (New York) Police Department, "Facebook is aware of this and is working with authorities."
Police in Memphis, Tennessee, even warned that sharing the video "is considered distribution and you could be criminally charged for doing so.
"We understand that sharing information sometimes brings a criminal to justice, but sharing amongst Facebook friends is not the way to do it," the department said.
Aside from being graphic and possibly illegal -- the female's age isn't clear, though she seems to be a child -- police worry the video could carry some kind of malicious code meant to infiltrate a viewer's computer.
"Don't open it, don't share it, don't forward it," Cincinnati Police Lt. Steve Saunders said.
Instead, notify Facebook and then delete the video from your account.
Tony Garrett, executive director of Central Alabama Crime Stoppers, told AL.com "some things point to" the video being made in Alabama. But there's no confirmation of that.

Question: This is what Anthony Joshua is eating for breakfast ahead of Joseph Parker fight

Anthony Joshua has denied taking steroids in response to Joseph Parker's accusation ahead of their heavyweight unification fight that he uses performance-enhancing drugs.
The unbeaten rivals clash at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on March 31 when Joshua's IBF and WBA belts will be at stake against the WBO crown held by Parker.
In a radio interview given in his native New Zealand on Monday, Parker called his opponent the "king of steroids", adding "if you are that big and that muscly, there's something wrong" and "there are a lot of ways you can dodge drug testing".
AJ, meanwhile, has been busy posting snaps of himself on Instagram - including one of him chowing down on his breakfast, which seemed to comprise of only fresh fruit.
In the build up to the clash, the 28-year-old has revealed what he eats for breakfast with the Watford-born boxer opting for a healthy fruit platter.
In the snap posted onto his official Instagram, Joshua is seen chomping down on some grapes, raspberries, banana, kiwi and melon accompanied by a green smoothie.
"I've heard so much in boxing trash talk that nothing's new any more. It's a fairly serious charge to make. Can I sue Parker?! No, I'm joking," Joshua said.
"I know my records are clean. Every time I'm tested, and I know what I've paid to be voluntarily tested. That's why I don't bite at what he says.
"If I'm not clean, you'll find out during this fight. If I haven't been clean for all my other fights, you'll see me struggle against Parker because anything I have been taking will be out of my system.
"You'll find out in this fight whether I'm the super-human or I've got something pushing on this super-human power that he claims I have."
When the issue of Tyson Fury's back-dated ban for drug-taking was raised, Joshua stressed that the implications of using steroids in boxing extend beyond the ethical.
The British rivals are on a collision course if Fury is granted a boxing license and makes a successful comeback having served the retrospective suspension issued by UK Anti-Doping and dispelled more than two years of inactivity.
"If it was me I'd get a lot more stick. Fury's lucky. It's not good because in this sport your life is on the line," Joshua said.
"Anything to do with that type of stuff you have to be careful. People's lives are on the line.
"It's not like a game of golf where it's just the minds. This is physical and there's real damage. It's a shame people get caught up in that kind of stuff."
Parker, who has won all 24 of his fights and amassed 18 knockouts, adopted a far more diplomatic tone when meeting Joshua for the first time on Tuesday.

Instead, Higgins took on the role of antagonist by leaping on Joshua's knockdowns as an amateur and by Wladimir Klitschko as evidence he is vulnerable, adding that the 28-year-old from Watford has "mental weaknesses".
"Do you know what I learned when I was dropped in the Klitschko fight? That it will take more than a human stop me from getting where I'm destined to be," Joshua said.
"I've learned not to walk with sight on this journey, but with faith. The rumours that you have heard are fake news, hand on heart. I've learned from adversity and through going through the storm.
"I'm not into the verbals. I'd fight him in the car park for free, it doesn't matter to me. That's what a fighter's mindset is."

ANTHONY Joshua has admitted he often seeks boxing advice from the man who he previously knocked out.
Anthony Joshua became added yet another heavyweight belt to his collection on March 31 after he overcame Joseph Parker in Cardiff. The 28-year-old's journey to success has been filled with several tough fights in such a short time – having already beaten Dillian Whyte, Charles Martin and Wladimir Klitschko. But the superstar revealed how the latter of the three taught him just as much outside the ring as he did inside it.
STUBHUB DAILY: The heavyweight champ gets advice from the man he knocked out
“I'm trying to learn and I am not the master yet – I'm still a student” Anthony Joshua He said: "I spoke to Wladimir yesterday – I reach out all the time. "The man is an encyclopedia of boxing knowledge. Why not? "I'm trying to learn and I am not the master yet – I'm still a student. "So as much information on how to better me is welcome, even the negative. "I always look at the negatives as well as people wanting me to do well. "And if everyone tells you you're great, how are you going to improve?"
Joshua added the WBA and IBO belt to his IBF crown when he overcame Klitschko in the 11th round of their April 2017 contest. Just a few months later, the 42-year-old Ukrainian hung up his gloves. But the Watford-born superstar has nothing but respect for the man he went toe-to-toe with. He later added: "He didn't just show us how to be a champion in the ring, he showed us how to conduct ourselves and how to handle the responsibilities of being a champion. "When I analyse champions, I say 'yeah, I like the way Klitschko moved and the way Lennox [Lewis] moved'. "They're not just champions in the ring, it's their responsibilities outside that I really respect. "Everyone was complaining that the Klitschko brothers were dull, so why has no one knocked them out?"

Question: Apple quietly opens Oregon engineering lab, poaches from Intel

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

Apple has a secret in Washington County.
The Silicon Valley company has hired close to two-dozen people in a hardware engineering lab there, raiding Intel and other Oregon tech employers for a variety of roles, according to job postings, social media profiles and an individual familiar with Apple's recruiting efforts.
"Apple's Advanced Computation Group (ACG) is seeking a talented machine learning R&D engineer with a specialization in deep learning to join their team in Portland," reads one of the company's job ads. "As a researcher and software R&D engineer, you will develop cutting-edge machine learning algorithms to enable current and future Apple products and services."
Apple didn't respond to a request for comment - the company is notoriously secretive about its research activities - so it's unclear how many people it plans to hire for the Oregon facility, what products they're working on, or the office's exact location.
The listings advertise "Portland" jobs, but a person familiar with Apple's hiring says the lab is actually in Washington County near the border between Beaverton and Hillsboro. That's closer to the core of Oregon's hardware ecosystem than the software and web services companies clustered in downtown Portland.
Machine learning is a term for technology that enables computers to improve their performance at specific functions on their own, without people stepping in to modify their programming. Another of Apple's Oregon job postings seeks design verification expertise, a specialty for ensuring a finished product meets the original specifications.
LinkedIn profiles indicate Apple has been hiring for its Washington County site since November and that a number of its new employees previously held senior research or engineering roles at Intel.
Apple is among several large tech companies with substantial outposts in Oregon, capitalizing on the region's concentration of high-tech skills and a less-competitive hiring market. Others include eBay, Amazon, Google, Salesforce and, of course, Intel, which has its biggest site in Washington County.
Apple isn't new to the region. It has had a software development team in Vancouver since the early 1990s and operates a massive campus of data centers in Prineville.
Its new Washington County site does not appear to have the makings of a major new Apple campus. The company has been scouting potential locations for several months for a significant expansion far from its Silicon Valley headquarters.
Oregon economic development officials have said there has been no indication Apple is considering putting that large campus here, and recent reports indicate the company is focused on Northern Virginia and North Carolina.

According to a new report from The San Jose Mercury News, Apple is further increasing its presence in Santa Clara, California. The report, citing public records, says that Apple has leased a 62,000-square-foot building and is heavily renovating the space…
Sylvania HomeKit Light Strip
The new property is located near the corner of Bowers and Walsh Avenues, and real estate experts in the area say it’s the latest instance of Apple displaying its affection for Santa Clara:
“This really shows that Apple has decided that Silicon Valley is where they can find the best talent,” said Chad Leiker, a first vice president with Kidder Mathews, a commercial realty brokerage. “This is where they want to be.” “Apple appears to be very comfortable expanding in these local cities,” Leiker said. “They know what they can achieve here.”
Specifics about Apple’s plans for the new space are unknown at this point and it’s unclear when the company will move in. Apple is said to have started “extensive construction” at the building.
Apple has been expanding in Santa Clara at a fast pace recently. Back in August, a report indicated that Apple had leased two buildings totaling 77,000-square-feet of office space. At that point, Apple was estimated to have thousands employees in Santa Clara Valley, a number that is growing rapidly.
While Apple only recently opened its new Apple Park headquarters, it’s clear that the company has intentions to expand throughout Silicon Valley and beyond.

Question: Trans Mountain pipeline: The economics of oil

This is the fourth story in a five-part series on the issues surrounding Kinder Morgan’s proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline, investigating the history, science, Indigenous reaction, politics and economics of the controversial project. Read part one, part two, part three and part four.
There’s a lot riding on the federal government’s decision to take over the Trans Mountain pipeline twinning project from Edmonton to its terminal in Burnaby.
Kinder Morgan agreed to carry on with its construction plan as part of Ottawa’s offer to buy its Canadian assets, primarily the pipeline and its terminal, for $4.5 billion.
The federal purchase does not include the $7.4 billion construction budget, which is to be financed by Ottawa and Alberta. Kinder Morgan estimates that the first 20 years of construction and operation would generate $46.7 billion, including federal and provincial taxes paid. Over the same period, the company calculates that municipal tax payments over 20 years would total $922 million in B.C. and another $124 million in Alberta.
The Conference Board of Canada estimates the project would create the equivalent of 15,000 person-years of employment in construction and 37,000 direct, indirect and induced jobs each year it operates.
Benefits agreements have been signed with 19 communities, representing $8.6 million in infrastructure, education and training projects. Examples include $500,000 for improvements to Hope Community Park, $290,000 for trails and trades training in Barriere, $845,000 for community infrastructure and training in the Thompson Nicola Regional District, $390,000 for projects and training in Clearwater, $1.3 million to revitalize an Abbotsford golf course and $1.2 million for a new Vedder Greenway trail pedestrian bridge in Chilliwack.
There are another 43 “mutual benefit agreements” with Indigenous communities, 33 in B.C. and the rest in Alberta. Kinder Morgan says those agreements will see $400 million go to the communities, and agreements may be extended as the project proceeds.
Trans Mountain requires its contractors to have Indigenous monitors on its environmental inspection teams at all construction areas, advising on traditional land use and cultural values.
Beyond the direct jobs and community benefits agreements along the route, the project is a key step toward increased spill response capability on the B.C. coast. It also affects the supply of crude oil to southern B.C.’s last oil refinery and bigger refineries in Washington.
And then there are pending oil pipelines to the U.S., and another proposal to build a pipeline similar to the cancelled Northern Gateway pipeline across northern B.C.
Here’s a closer look at the implications.
What happens if there’s a spill
Spill response on the B.C. coast is the responsibility of Western Canada Marine Response Corp. (WCMRC), an industry-funded network of facilities and vessels that works with the Coast Guard to respond contain and clean up incidents.
As part of its Trans Mountain expansion, Kinder Morgan Canada committed $150 million to increased response equipment and bases, conditional on completion of the Trans Mountain pipeline twinning project.
That funding was suspended in April, along with all non-essential spending on the pipeline, with Kinder Morgan seeking assurances by the end of May that further delays and demands won’t be imposed on a project that has already received federal and provincial approval.
WCMRC plans include response bases at Burrard Inlet, on the Lower Fraser River, Nanaimo, Port Alberni, Sidney, Beecher Bay in the Juan de Fuca Strait, as well as an offshore supply vessel to be based at Ogden Point in Victoria. Kinder Morgan’s conditions laid down by the National Energy Board require that those facilities be up and running nine months before the Trans Mountain expansion begins operation.
Ogden Point is Victoria’s cruise ship terminal, and may also be the location of a new spill response vessel financed by Kinder Morgan Canada if the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion proceeds. (Western Canada Marine Response Corp.)
The project suspension puts all that work on hold, said Michael Lowry, communications manager for WCMRC.
“We were close to signing leases in a lot of these spots,” Lowry said.
“We had construction vendors all lined up, tender packages ready to go to start construction this summer.”
The goal of the response bases is to reduce the maximum response time for Vancouver Harbour from six hours to two. The six-hour maximum would then be applied to the entire southern B.C. shipping lane, where in remote places the response time can be up to 72 hours.
In November 2016, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced an upgrade to marine spill response for the West Coast. It included two new large vessels capable of towing large freighters or other ships in distress, such as the U.S. tugboat and fuel barge that had run aground near Bella Bella on the remote B.C. coast.
“Canada has the longest coastline in the world, and it’s a poorly kept secret that we haven’t done enough to protect it,” Trudeau said after touring Vancouver harbour aboard a Coast Guard vessel.
Cleanup crew works on Burrard Inlet shoreline after a backhoe ruptured the Trans Mountain pipeline in July 2007. About 224 cubic metres of heavy synthetic crude was spilled, affecting a residential area, a creek and the inlet shore after some of the oil ran down a storm drain outfall. Approximately 95 per cent of the released oil was recovered. (Western Canada Marine Response Corp.)(Western Canada Marine Response Corp.)
That national project was not a direct response to the potential for increased tanker traffic. The B.C. government calculates that while all eyes are on the potential seven-fold increase in oil tankers, the Trans Mountain expansion represents only a six per cent increase in total shipping.
There has never been a spill of crude oil tanker cargo in B.C., after 64 years of Trans Mountain delivering crude to the Westridge tanker terminal at Burnaby, and daily Alaska tanker traffic past B.C. for nearly 50 years. Recent spills included a fuel system rupture of the freighter MV Marathassa in Vancouver harbour in 2015, spilling bunker fuel, a semi-refined product carried in large quantities by many ocean-going vessels.
Oil price and investment
Alberta oil is “landlocked,” as a U.S. protest network’s strategy first described it in 2008. Pipeline backers point to the discount on Western Canada Select, as Alberta heavy oil is called by traders, and West Texas Intermediate, the similar grade of U.S. crude.
Between 2012 and 2017, the price difference averaged $16.54 a barrel. As the Fraser Institute pointed out in a May report, The Cost of Pipeline Constraints in Canada, the 2018 price spread is $26.30 a barrel, which works out to an annual loss of $15.8 billion on Canadian oil.
Calculating the investment impact of cancelling third major pipeline project is less certain. The Justin Trudeau government effectively killed the Northern Gateway pipeline by banning crude tankers docking on B.C.’s North Coast, then added downstream greenhouse gas requirements to the Energy East pipeline from Alberta to the Atlantic coast that caused Trans Canada Corp. to abandon the project.
Energy East would have converted existing gas pipelines, moving Alberta oil to refineries that currently depend on imported oil from Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and other sources.
Oil refineries
With Imperial Oil’s refinery at Port Moody long dismantled, the last remaining source of refined fuels in southern B.C. is near the Trans Mountain Burnaby terminal. The Burnaby refinery was acquired from Chevron in April 2017 by Parkland Fuel Corp,, a Red Deer-based company that also owns Columbia Fuels on Vancouver Island.
The $1.5 billion purchase includes more than 100 Chevron-branded filling stations in B.C., marine fuelling stations and an aviation fuels business supplying Vancouver International Airport.
Trans Mountain, one of few pipelines in North America used for shipping refined fuels and crude oil in batches, also supplies the Parkland refinery. News of the Trans Mountain expansion prompted Parkland CEO Bob Espey to express his concerns to the B.C. and Alberta governments.
“Our company’s view is that any measure that restricts the supply of oil to British Columbia would be negative for both the economies and B.C. and Alberta,” Espey said in a statement. “We are committed to doing what we can to serve our customers and will continue to monitor the issue closely.”
The Cherry Point refinery in Washington State(BP)
Washington state’s five refineries, at Cherry Point, Anacortes and Ferndale, receive crude from the Trans Mountain pipeline as well as by tankers from Alaska. With Trans Mountain now over-subscribed, Alberta oil is moving by rail in greater volumes, winding down the Fraser Canyon to enter the U.S. at Bellingham.
A 2017 Washington state ecology department report says the volume of Alberta oil shipped by train to the state has more than doubled, from 7,000 barrels a day in 2012 to 15,000. That translates to 80 to 90 rail cars per week carrying Alberta heavy crude through B.C.
Other pipelines
Alberta’s oilsands crude is in demand in California and the U.S. Gulf Coast, where refineries are built to handle heavy oil such as Venezuela’s oilsands product. Some critics say much of Trans Mountain’s additional capacity would go south, rather than by Aframax-sized tankers across the Pacific to Asia.
Enbridge is working on its Line 3 replacement, from Hardisty, Alberta across Saskatchewan and into the U.S. Construction of the Saskatchewan and Manitoba sections is scheduled to start in the fall of 2018.
U.S. President Donald Trump carried out his campaign promise to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, which faced similar international opposition as Trans Mountain does today. Keystone would run from Hardisty to Nebraska, strengthening Alberta’s historic ties to the U.S. petroleum industry.
Another project that could benefit from Trans Mountain’s expansion being cancelled is Eagle Spirit Energy, an Indigenous-led effort to build a pipeline across northern B.C. similar to Northern Gateway.
Eagle Spirit founder Calvin Helin has backing from the Aquilini Group, real estate developers and owners of the Vancouver Canucks. A lawyer from Lax Kw’alaams on the northwest coast, Helin has worked to secure Indigenous consent for a pipeline route that terminates at Grassy Point, in Lax Kw’alaams territory.
Where the Trans Mountain expansion is opposed by the Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh, Eagle Spirit may have consent for the Grassy Point terminal, which could accommodate larger crude carriers for Asian ports.
Another coastal option is a refinery proposal backed by Black Press chairman David Black, that was originally to be supplied by the Northern Gateway pipeline to a site near Kitimat.
The Trudeau government’s decision to ban crude oil tankers from the North Coast is being challenged in court by Eagle Spirit, but Black has since focused on an innovation that would see Alberta bitumen dried to a solid and shipped by rail hopper cars for processing.
In the event of a land spill, the product could be picked up without significant impact, Black said.

The twists and turns in the saga of the Kinder Morgan pipeline just took a turn for the seriously weird today, but the path has never been clear.
The Alberta oil sands lie under thousands of square kilometers of boreal forest, wetland and muskeg. Bitumen is a viscous substance found in small concentrations amid the rock and soil. It is either mined out from huge open pits, or pumped out through in situ production, injecting hot water deep into the ground to loosen it. Either way, the resulting product highly polluting, very expensive to produce and of low value. Bitumen is a solid. To be refined, bitumen must undergo costly upgrading. Bitumen, being both low value and expensive to produce, would never have been developed without government subsidies, with the lowest royalty rates in the world at 1% and massive federal subsidies of several billion/year.
Before the 2008 global financial crisis, there were upgraders and refineries being planned. But when the recession hit, those investments, along with any new oil sands mines, retreated. When the economy recovered, oil sands expansion came back. But not the upgraders and refineries. Instead, for the first time, industry began to promote pipelines. Keystone was the first pipeline proposed to run north-south to take Canadian bitumen to other countries for processing.
Since bitumen is a solid, there is nothing logical about proposing to move it through a pipeline. Stirring in fossil fuel condensate (essentially naptha) creates a mixture sufficiently liquid to flow through a pipeline, without the expense of upgrading it to synthetic crude. The resulting mix of condensate (called diluent) and bitumen is called dilbit. And it is very challenging to clean up. The 2010 dilbit spill in Kalamazoo, Michigan was the first time regulators realized dilbit behaved very differently than conventional crude. The diluent is highly toxic and volatile. Diluent separated from bitumen and bitumen sank to the river bottom.
By the 2011 election, pipelines had become a political issue. Former prime minister, Conservative Stephen Harper, an Albertan who stood four-square for fossil fuel development, opposed any pipelines heading to the British Columbia coastline. Harper’s position was that Canada should not export bitumen to countries with lower environmental standards for refineries than Canada.
Justin Trudeau announced support for the Kinder Morgan pipeline. In doing so, he violated election promises to respect indigenous rights
Within months of that election, difficulties in gaining US permits for Keystone led to an entirely new position. With Harper’s support, Enbridge proposed a pipeline to Kitimat on the BC coast. In 2013, Texas-based Kinder Morgan asked to build a second pipeline more or less along the lines of the Transmountain pipeline purchased from a Canadian company from Alberta to Burnaby, not far from Vancouver BC. Kinder Morgan’s pipeline expansion would be 100% dilbit for export. It would increase tanker traffic, loaded with dilbit, seven-fold.
To grease the gears for pipeline approval, Harper gutted environmental laws. The resulting environmental review of the Kinder Morgan expansion was the worst in Canadian history. No longer reviewed by our environmental assessment agency, the pipeline was before the National Energy Board. Intervenor rights, such as cross examination of industry witnesses, were eliminated. Many intervenors withdrew alleging the process was “rigged.”
In the 2015 election campaign, Justin Trudeau pledged that no project could be approved based on such an inadequate process. Trudeau promised evidence-based decisions, respect for indigenous rights, the end to fossil fuel subsidies and an aggressive climate plan.
In 2016, the Liberals turned down the Enbridge pipeline due to the court ruling the previous government violated indigenous rights. Simultaneously, Trudeau announced support for the Kinder Morgan pipeline. In doing so, he violated election promises to respect indigenous rights, to base decisions on evidence, and to pursue real climate action. Having approved Kinder Morgan, he and his ministers became increasingly pro-pipeline.
Meanwhile fifteen different court cases were working through the Federal Court of Appeal. The new BC government raised its concerns about the threat of a dilbit spill and to survival of the endangered southern Resident Killer Whales. In March, I was one of the several hundred people arrested protesting the Kinder Morgan pipeline. As opposition built in British Columbia, Trudeau insisted the pipeline was in the national interest and must be built. On April 8th, Kinder Morgan upped the ante and demanded the federal government remove the uncertainty created by all the court challenges to the project by May 31st.
Astonishingly, the government announced on May 29th that the government of Canada will buy the existing Transmountain pipeline. Canada will pay $4.5bn for those existing assets, valued by Kinder Morgan in 2007 at $550m . As well, the Trudeau administration says it will get the controversial expansion pipeline built. Kinder Morgan had pegged those costs at $7.4bn, and that is just the beginning of federal liabilities. With this, Trudeau’s election promise to end fossil fuel subsidies is violated in spectacular fashion.
We await the court decisions. This battle is a long way from over.

A DuPage County judge has rejected a request that details be kept under wraps in the case of a former Schaumburg police officer who confessed to operating a drug ring but now wants his conviction tossed out.
Matthew Hudak is seeking to have his 2014 guilty plea overturned after prosecutors abruptly dropped charges against another officer who was accused in the same scheme.
On Monday, Judge Liam Brennan declined to a request from Hudak’s attorney that new documents in the case be kept under seal. The judge, though, told Hudak attorney Thomas Glasgow that he would allow some private information to be kept under wraps in files that will otherwise be available to the public.
Glasgow filed a petition earlier this month seeking to reverse Hudak’s conviction, despite the fact that he admitted involvement in a scheme with two other officers to use an informant to sell drugs the officers confiscated.
In February, prosecutors suddenly announced that they were dropping the charges against John Cichy, one of the other officers who was arrested alongside Hudak. DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin later said that decision was made after prosecutors discovered that wrongdoing involving the informant — who would have been a main witness in the trial — had not been revealed to Cichy’s attorney.
Hudak’s attorney said in a court motion that prosecutors’ failure to disclose new allegations of criminal behavior by the informant hampered possible defenses for Hudak, including that the informant entrapped him.
But Glasgow said additional filings he’s planning in the case could disclose sensitive employment information of the prosecutor who reportedly withheld the information. So he asked to file it under seal. Brennan, though, did not agree.
“That’s not a concern of mine,” the judge said.
The case involving the former officers is of public interest, said Brennan, who said he wanted to keep as much information as possible accessible to the public. He told Glasgow to file a redacted copy of the motion by next week.
Hudak is serving a 26-year prison sentence. Another officer charged in the alleged drug ring, Terrance O’Brien, is serving a similar sentence. O’Brien’s attorney has said he’s also considering a potential challenge to that conviction.

Question: Uber app update to feature tipping and waiting time charges

Get daily updates directly to your inbox + Subscribe Thank you for subscribing! Could not subscribe, try again later Invalid Email
Uber is introducing in-app tipping for the first time, as well as stricter rules on cancelling car requests and new charges for users who keep drivers waiting.
From Tuesday, an option to tip drivers will appear in the Uber smartphone app and will also apply to the firm's food delivery service, UberEATS.
The firm's UK regional general manager Jo Bertram said the decision to introduce tipping had come after consultation with the firm's drivers.
Uber also confirmed that from August 22, new waiting time charges will apply to users who keep drivers waiting at the start of a journey.
Ms Bertram said: "Drivers' time is valuable and every minute spent waiting for a rider means less time driving and making money.
"That's why - from two minutes after the driver arrives at the pick-up point - riders will pay 20p for every further minute they keep their driver waiting."
The charge may be higher than 20p a minute for users of the more premium XL, EXEC and LUX Uber car services, the company said.

Uber has also cut the cancellation time window for users, with those who have been allocated a car now eligible to pay a fee for cancelling a journey request after just two minutes, down from five minutes currently.
"Following feedback we feel this is too long as drivers are well on their way to the pick-up point and have already invested time and fuel," Ms Bertram said
"That's why we're reducing the rider cancellation time so if a rider cancels two minutes after being allocated a car they will now pay the cancellation fee - though this won't apply if a driver is running five minutes behind the original ETA."
Uber has previously come under scrutiny over the employment status of its drivers, with questions raised over whether they are self-employed or workers for the company.
A recent government report into workers' rights in the so-called 'gig economy' of which Uber is a part said a new "dependent contractor" category of worker should be create to better protect those working in the sector.
Uber said these latest changes showed it was listening it to its drivers.
"Over the last 12 months we've hosted hundreds of events and spoken to thousands of drivers on the phone, in the office and at roundtable discussions," Ms Bertram added.
"While drivers have told us they love the freedom of being their own boss, we've also clearly heard that we need to make improvements.
"As a direct result of this feedback we have already made a number of big changes. In February we announced a series of initiatives to help drivers make the most out of using the app and two months later we invested in discounted illness and injury cover with IPSE for drivers who want it."

The range of updates to the Uber app will also include a new 'No thanks' button for drivers to deny trip requests - which Uber says will also reduce waiting times for users as their journey requests will now be passed on to another driver faster.

Uber is finally working to change one of the app’s most controversial features.
The firm has long been criticized for providing drivers with trip histories that reveal too much data, including riders' exact drop-off and pickup addresses, which can be viewed again at any time in the future.
Now, Uber is planning to launch a pilot program that will limit the information drivers see, instead showing a more general location area, according to Gizmodo.

The firm will test out the new privacy feature on a smaller scale before rolling it out officially in a few months.
But, an Uber spokesperson clarified to Gizmodo, ‘we fully intend on making this a default setting.’
In the past, Uber riders have expressed their concerns over the potential for detailed location logs to be used maliciously.
Even if a rider deletes their account and data, the driver can still access the information in the trip history, Gizmodo notes.
The upcoming pilot program comes as part of Uber’s ongoing efforts to tighten its privacy measures to make the service safer for both riders and drivers.
A screenshot of the system Uber is preparing to test shows drivers will no longer see a location dot marking a precise address from a past trip.
Instead, they’ll be shown a large red circle that encompasses a broader area.
‘Location data is our most sensitive information, and we are doing everything we can do to protect privacy around it,’ an Uber spokesperson told Gizmodo.
‘The new design provides enough information for drivers to identify past trips for customer support issues or earning disputes without granting them ongoing access to rider addresses.’
The firm will test out the new privacy feature on a smaller scale before rolling it out officially in a few months. But, an Uber spokesperson clarified to Gizmodo, ‘we fully intend on making this a default setting.’ File photo
Uber overhauled its Driver app this month to incorporate feedback from the drivers themselves.
The move comes after the firm rolled out nearly 40 new features as part of its ’180 Days of Change’ to facilitate a better driver experience.
And, the firm unveiled a number of new safety features to protect both drivers and riders.
WHAT IS UBER'S '180 DAYS OF CHANGE'? After the departure of CEO Travis Kalanick in June, Uber launched a '180 Days of Change' initiative to improve the driver experience. For the first phase - focused on earnings - the company deployed an in-app tipping option. So far, drivers have collected $50 million in tips in about a month. Lyft - which has had in-app tipping for years - only hit $250 million in tips last month. Next, Uber rolled out 24/7 support for drivers - 200,000 calls to the line have been made in less than 30 days. For the third phase of the initiative, Uber is focusing on driver flexibility. Uber launched its '180 days of change' initiative in October as part of its effort to improve the company's relationship with drivers. It first introduced tipping for drivers Drivers can set up to six destinations per day, meaning Uber will only offer rides along that route. This will allow drivers to do pickups on their way home or to other personal destinations without ending up in destinations out of their way - previously drivers could only set two per day. Uber also enacted new waiting time charges that will be applied to users who keep drivers waiting at the start of a journey. Next, Uber will give drivers more flexibility when it comes to what types of pickups they want - they can select just UberX and no deliveries, for example) The firm will also start notifying drivers if a ride will take more than 45 minutes so they can decide if they want to take a long trip.
Starting this summer, the Uber app will contain a ‘Safety Center’ to provide a breakdown of the safety features available to them.
Riders will also be given the option to list up to five friends and family members as Trusted contacts, with whom trip details will be shared during rides.
The app will also contain an emergency button, so riders have instant access to 911 if needed.
Uber is testing the feature in pilot cities to begin with, starting in Denver.

Question: Padres finish 3-game sweep of Reds, 4-2

Represent the article to find a fitting news title.

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Franchy Cordero and Hunter Renfroe, teammates in the Pacific Coast League last season, combined to drive in all of the San Diego Padres' runs in a 4-2, sweep-clinching victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday.
Renfroe hit his 14th home run, a two-run shot that tied the score 2-2 in the sixth inning, and Cordero hit a tie-breaking single in the seventh before Renfroe's RBI groundout finished the surge.
''I know exactly what Franchy's all about, and he's done everything I expected of him since he came up,'' Renfroe said of his fellow rookie.
Padres starter Jhoulys Chacin (6-5) pitched seven innings, allowing five hits and two runs.
Reds reliever Michael Lorenzen (3-2) inherited a 2-2 score from starter Amir Garrett and began the seventh with two walks, leading to two runs.
The Reds, who have lost their past nine road games, were swept at both Dodger Stadium and Petco Park to go 0-6 on the West Coast trip.
The left-handed hitting Cordero hit three home runs over the first two games of the series.
He had two singles in the finale. The second, a groundball to right field, scored Matt Szczur, who had drawn a leadoff walk against Lorenzen as a pinch-hitter.
The RBI single came after Cordero mistakenly attempted to bunt, causing third-base coach Glenn Hoffman to tell him to swing away.
''We made sure that he got the message that we trusted his bat,'' manager Andy Green said.
Green said Cordero, who made his major league debut May 27 as a replacement for injured center fielder Manuel Margot, was ''being selfless'' when he tried to bunt, but the smarter play was to swing because Lorenzen is a strikeout pitcher.
Green said the advice to Renfroe was to be patient.
''Hunter Renfroe does not need to cheat to get to any pitch,'' Green said.
Renfroe hit Garrett's 88 mph fastball 429 feet into the top of the second deck to score Yangervis Solarte and tie Nate Colbert for the most home runs by a Padres rookie before the All-Star break. Colbert went on to hit 24 home runs in that expansion season, 1969.
Brandon Mauer recorded his 12th save in 14 tries after Brad Hand threw a scoreless eighth.
The Reds rediscovered their home run prowess, getting solo shots from Jose Peraza and Joey Votto after not adding to the team's majors-leading home run total in the series' first and second games.
Peraza hit Chacin's second pitch of the game into the left-field seats for the team's first leadoff homer of the season. For Peraza, it was his third home run.
Votto cleared the wall in right-center field for his 19th homer.
Garrett took a 2-0 lead into the sixth before Solarte singled and Renfroe blasted the lefty's 91st pitch of the afternoon.
The lefty starter, 25, brought in an ERA of 7.40.
''This was a great step,'' Reds manager Bryan Price said. ''He's a great kid, he's a great worker, everybody pulls for Amir to do well, and I think that was certainly a step in the right direction because he was throwing three pitches over the plate for strikes and he was on the attack.''
HIGHLIGHT DEFENSE
Prompting applause from Garrett, three Reds defenders teamed up to nab Erick Aybar trying to score from first on Luis Torrens' second-inning double.
Center fielder Arismendy Alcantara threw to second baseman Scooter Gennett, who threw to catcher Tucker Barnhart. Video review upheld the out call of plate umpire Ted Barrett.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Reds: Zack Cosart, who went into Wednesday as the leading vote-getter at shortstop for the All-Star Game, was out of the starting lineup with a quad injury for the second day in a row. He was pulled from Monday's lopsided game due to the quad.
Padres: RHP Trevor Cahill is expected to throw bullpen sessions on the upcoming trip and then begin a minor league assignment.
UP NEXT
Reds: RHP Tim Adelman (4-2, 4.34) on Friday will face the Los Angeles Dodgers in Cincinnati after going 2-0 with 2.08 ERA in his past four starts.
Padres: RHP Miguel Diaz, who made 21 relief appearance this year, will make his second career start Friday against the Milwaukee Brewers in San Diego. In his first start, last Saturday against the Kansas City Royals, the rookie was unable to get an out in the third inning.

Mike Moustakas hit his 18th home run leading off the second inning, Jorge Bonifacio and Lorenzo Cain followed with back-to-back shots in the third and the Kansas City Royals beat the San Francisco Giants 7-2 on Wednesday to complete a two-game sweep.

Question: Chris Brown allegedly 'sucker punched' photog

TAMPA, Fla. — Police in Florida are investigating an incident at a nightclub where a photographer said he was “sucker punched” by singer Chris Brown.
Tampa police spokesman Stephen Hegarty says 28-year-old Bennie Vines Jr. was hired by Aja Channelside to take photos during an event hosted by Brown.
Vines told officers that while he was snapping photos early Monday, Brown punched him. Brown was gone by the time officers arrived. Vines refused medical treatment and told officers he wants to prosecute because of a minor lip cut.
The club confirmed the incident on its Facebook page Monday and apologized to patrons.
Brown, singer of the hits “Run It!” and “Deuces,” completed probation in a 2009 felony assault case for an attack on singer Rihanna, his then-girlfriend.
An email to the representative listed on Brown’s website was not immediately returned.

Question: Chief inspector asks 'what next for Scotland's jails?'

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

Image caption Prisons inspector David Strang asks if imprisonment contributes to crime reduction
Scotland's prisons' watchdog has called for greater emphasis on developing offenders' potential for good rather than focussing on their past wrongs.
David Strang is stepping down after five years as HM Chief Inspector of Prisons for Scotland (HMIPS).
In a valedictory address he said the purpose of the criminal justice system is to reduce the number of victims of crime by preventing offending.
And he asked if imprisonment contributes to crime reduction.
Scotland has one of the highest rates of imprisonment in Europe and Mr Strang, a former chief constable of Lothian and Borders, said during his inspections he had seen too many people jailed for short terms whose incarceration was more likely to result in further victims of crime.
'Unhelpful barriers'
Speaking in Edinburgh, he said it was important to ensure that when people leave prison at the end of their sentence they are less likely to return there in the future - and that meant reducing barriers to successful reintegration.
"Too often society puts these unhelpful barriers in place for those who most need support to get back into the employment market," he said.
"If we are serious about rehabilitation and successful reintegration, rather than focussing only on the past wrongs a person has committed, we should put much greater emphasis on developing the potential for good that lies in them.
"Much of what people in prison need cannot be delivered by the Scottish Prison Service (SPS) alone. Provision of throughcare services before and after their liberation are essential to successful reintegration.
"These responsibilities lie not just with the SPS, but with wider services such as education, housing, healthcare, employment and welfare benefits.
"Fundamentally these are dependent not so much on the criminal justice system, but on wider social justice issues of poverty, inequality, exclusion and marginalisation."
Mr Strang said Scotland had much to be proud of in the way its prisons are run, but greater use should be made of community disposals such as electronic monitoring or tagging to manage people in the community rather than in prison."
He said he recognised a prison sentence should be reserved for people who have committed serious crime or pose a significant risk to public safety.
But he said imprisoning people for short periods is counterproductive as they were more - not less - likely to reoffend after serving a short custodial sentence.
Risk of reoffending
And he called on improvements to the way prisoners are treated at the end of their sentence.
"I see too many people who on their day of liberation do not know where they will be living. Many end up homeless, or in very temporary - and often unsuitable - accommodation.
"The consequences of this are clear: it is too easy to revert back to their previous lifestyle of reoffending in the company of unhelpful influences, and any positive progress made in prison is lost," he said.
"I have seen too often people leaving prison with approximately £75 in their pocket and with the prospect of having to wait several weeks before being eligible for basic benefits.
"We should not be surprised in these circumstances that people are at risk of returning to reoffending and a possible future prison sentence."
In his speech, What next for prisons in Scotland?, Mr Strang said more needed to be done to reduce the number of women jailed.
SPS has announced it is to replace the national women's prison at Cornton Vale near Stirling and provide smaller Community Custody Units (CCUs) in Glasgow and Dundee.
But the chief inspector said plans are for a total of 230 places in prison for women across Scotland - and the current number in custody remains stubbornly high at more than 350.

Hello. Here's your morning briefing:
Image copyright Reuters Image caption Brexit Secretary David Davis (left) and the EU Commission's Michel Barnier are leading the negotiations for the two sides
The government has published a plan for an interim customs union with the EU as it withdraws from the bloc, the first in a series of papers setting out its position on key areas of Brexit negotiations.
The proposal would see the UK remain free from tariffs on goods within the EU and at the same time ministers would expect to be able to negotiate new international trade deals - something they cannot currently do from within the customs union.
Once this temporary arrangement period expires, the UK would seek a "highly streamlined" border with the EU, or a new "partnership" with no customs border at all.
It's intended to provide reassurance to businesses, but Labour has claimed it's a ploy to "gloss over" divisions within the cabinet.
Analysis: Having our cake and eating it?
By Simon Jack, business editor
The government is promising that businesses will only have to adjust once to our eventual customs relationship with the EU.
That must mean that the day after we leave the EU, and enter the interim period, there will be no change. So we are out of the customs union, but everything will pretty much stay the same until the interim period is over.
The only difference is that because we are technically out of the customs union, we will be able to negotiate our own trade deals with non-EU countries, while enjoying the benefits of frictionless trade we have now.
This approach will look to many like the "having our cake and eating it" that Boris Johnson was so keen on - and EU officials weren't.

Kim Jong-un 'briefed' on attacking Guam
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has been briefed on a plan to fire missiles towards the US Pacific territory of Guam, according to state media. The report on news agency KCNA said Kim Jong-un "examined the plan for a long time" and discussed it with senior military officials. But, crucially, the report added that the North Korean leader would watch the US before making any decision, signalling an apparent deceleration in the provocative rhetoric.
Jo Cox 'hero' dies
The family of Bernard Kenny, who tried to stop the murder of MP Jo Cox in West Yorkshire last year, says he has died aged 79. The former miner was stabbed as he intervened when Thomas Mair attacked Mrs Cox in Birstall in 2016, and was later awarded the George Medal. Tracey Brabin MP, who was elected in Jo Cox's constituency after her death, said: "Bernard will forever be remembered as a true hero."
Sierra Leone mudslides kill hundreds
More than 300 people have been killed in mudslides and flooding near Sierra Leone's capital, Freetown. A hillside in the Regent area collapsed early on Monday following heavy rains, leaving many houses covered in mud. The number of casualties is expected to rise, with local residents reportedly trying to recover bodies from the rubble with their bare hands.
What the papers say
The Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail report on a "backlash" against the announcement that Big Ben will fall silent for four years - with the Telegraph quoting senior MPs as calling the move "entirely bonkers". The Times interprets today's customs union proposal as evidence that Chancellor Philip Hammond has won the upper hand over International Trade Secretary Liam Fox as reported divisions continue in the cabinet over how to proceed with Brexit.

Question: It's Getting Dark: Clash Meets Royal Blood

Ask Royal Blood to recall the moment they realised their lives had changed forever and they’ll always come back to Glastonbury 2014. Having already released a slew of turbo-charged singles, the duo, bassist and vocalist Mike Kerr and drummer Ben Thatcher, had been turning heads with their muscular, Queens Of The Stone Age meets White Stripes sonic assault. Then came their Glasto debut and an early slot on the John Peel Stage.
“We poked our heads around the corner to see if anyone was going to be watching us,” remembers Mike. “And there was like 12,000 people or something mental, they were right outside the tent and I was like oh my god what's going on?”
“That was crazy because the record wasn't even out at that stage,” agrees Ben. “We were playing to 200 people on tour and that was mind blowing to us to sell out those venues. Then to turn up at Glastonbury where we thought there'd be a couple of hundred people there, to walk out onstage to that... yeah that was a shock to the system.”

When it’s happening to you, you can be quite numb to it.

In just a few weeks the band will return to Glastonbury, only this time they'll be on the Pyramid stage with only The xx and Radiohead playing above them. It's the latest high point in a short career that’s been rammed with what most bands would consider lifetime achievements: supporting the Arctic Monkeys at Finsbury Park, scoring the best-selling rock record of the last three years and rubbing shoulders with every childhood hero they can recall from Jimmy Page to Lars Ulrich.
“You can’t digest those life experiences immediately,” says Mike, struggling to describe exactly what it was like to live in that Royal Blood maelstrom at the time. “It wasn’t until two years later when we came off the road and went home that everything becomes real and you can understand it for what it is. When it’s happening to you, you can be quite numb to it.”
Do they feel like rock stars now? They both cringe at the question. “To us that’s like an ugly word,” says Mike shaking his head. “It’s almost offensive in a way. We’re musicians.”

Clash have come to meet the duo at the swanky, achingly hip Ace Hotel on Shoreditch High Street to discuss the band’s new album, ‘How Did We Get So Dark?’. A full day of press is running behind schedule, and as we chat Mike and Ben tuck into plates of chips and chicken, their first chance to eat all day. They seem relaxed, rejuvenated and excited for what’s to come. “We're in that honeymoon period of press where we haven't done anything like this for so long and there’s so much new stuff to talk about,” says Mike. “Last night was our first show in 18 months.”
Were they nervous? “It was so fun,” he replies. “We were so full of adrenaline before we went on, I was trying to calm down a bit.”

After the huge success of their self-titled debut surely they felt enormous pressure when recording its follow-up, something they found new ways to deal with. “Pressure’s such a turbulent thing,” says Mike thoughtfully. “We didn't have pressure on the first album, we genuinely didn't think anyone beyond our friends would hear our music. But it always came back round to the idea that if me and Ben think an idea is good, it is good. And that's really where it ended.”
The duo started writing the new album when out on the road touring ‘Royal Blood’, however it wasn’t until they came off tour for a much needed break that their ideas really started taking shape. “We didn't want to jump in and write without thinking about it,” says Mike. “Our first record is this Frankenstein patchwork of demos and with this one we wanted to make a proper record, a proper body of work. ‘Lights Out’ was a breakthrough song for us, it was like we discovered the DNA of the album. It was like the final piece of the puzzle was coming together.”

Before I was a bit more innocent in my writing...

Due out on June 16th, ‘How Did We Get…’ is just as taut and powerful as its predecessor, although sonically it’s a more intricate beast than its hulking predecessor, littered with dynamics, textures and even electronic keys, the tracks coming lyrically from a much darker, more personal place. “I felt less aggressive,” admits Mike. “I think my style of playing became more roll than rock. I didn't want to headbang on stage I wanted to have a little dance, throw out a few shapes. On this album I definitely wanted to be more open and more vulnerable and honest about things that I've been through. ‘Hole In Your Heart’ feels like a real breakup tune. And I always struggle with fabricating stories, I have to write from personal experience.”
“It comes really naturally to me to write about relationships. Before I was a bit more innocent in my writing, I was angrier about situations, this album is more reflective. There was definitely times when I asked, is that too obvious and Ben would be like no keep it raw. Our music is very raw so the lyrics should be too.”
“Mike has a good compass with lyrics, he knows what language and what interpretations to use,” interjects Ben. “He's not too safe either he goes and says something's that are a little out there.”

“We trust each other,” adds Mike. It’s the same with Ben’s drumming. We look after each other's departments, that's how it works,” Ben laughs. “Like the ‘Lights Out’ drum fill, I don't think many people would take that into a song...”
“I remember saying come up with the worst drum fill. What's the anti-drum fill?” says Mike. “There's a great Josh Homme quote which is, if you can't outsmart them out dumb them. That drum fill is perfect. It out-dumbs every drummer in the world,” Ben nods knowingly. “There's a reason that drum fill has never been done before.”
The duo might have tweaked their formula, but one thing’s for certain. ‘How Did We Get So Dark’ is proof of just how much racket two people are capable of making. “I'm still obsessed with the simplicity of it,” says Mike when Clash ask if they ever feel restricted by their bass and drums set-up. “If anything on this album we've pulled even more away. There are parts on this album that are even more minimal. Our third record is going to be just Ben.”

I'm still obsessed with the simplicity of it...

Before we get to that point though there’s mammoth crowds to play to and huge spaces to fill with thunderous, Gods-balls riffery, not to mention a huge UK tour in November with support from seminal post-punk At The Drive In. How would they say life has changed the most during this manic rollercoaster ride?
“Before Royal Blood I didn’t know what I was going to do with my life or where I was going to go,” says Mike. “I guess now I get to do this as my job and my career I feel settled now. I feel employed.”

Question: Asylum-seekers in Australia win multimillion dollar payout

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

Sydney - Detainees at an Australian asylum-seeker camp in Papua New Guinea won millions of dollars in compensation for “degrading and cruel” treatment Wednesday, in a decision hailed as an important human rights victory.
Abuse, self-harm and mental health problems are reportedly rife in offshore processing centres, with detainees resorting to desperate protests like sewing their own lips together to raise awareness of their plight. Wednesday’s AUS$70 million (US$53 million) conditional settlement, to be shared by 1,905 people who have been held on Manus Island since 2012, averted a public trial against the government and security providers Transfield and G4S.
A class action had sought damages for what claimants said was suffering due to the harsh conditions in which they were held. It also called for a payout for false imprisonment after the Papua New Guinea Supreme Court ruled last year that holding asylum-seekers on Manus Island was unconstitutional and illegal.
Law firm Slater and Gordon said they believed it was the largest human rights class action settlement in Australian history, with the defendants also agreeing to pay more than Aus$20 million in costs. “The people detained on Manus Island have endured extremely hostile conditions, but they will no longer suffer in silence,” said the firm’s Andrew Baker.
“While no amount of money could fully recognise the terrible conditions the detainees endured, we hope today’s settlement can begin to provide them with an opportunity to help put this dark chapter of their lives behind them.”
The Manus detention facility opened in 2012 to hold people trying to enter Australia by boat, under a tough immigration policy that sends them offshore to be processed.
They are blocked from resettling in Australia even if found to be refugees.
Conditions in the camp, and another one on Nauru in the Pacific, have been widely criticised by refugee advocates and medical professionals, with reports of maltreatment and neglect, leading to serious health problems.
Amnesty International called the decision “historic” and “a major crack in the Australian government’s crumbling system of abuse”.
“It must be a turning point towards a better solution for refugees - one that is grounded in protection, not abuse,” said Amnesty Pacific researcher Kate Schuetze.
Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said the payout was not an admission of liability, but to avoid a costly six-month trial.
“In such circumstances a settlement was considered a prudent outcome for Australian taxpayers,” he said in a statement.
“The Commonwealth strongly refutes and denies the claims made in these proceedings. Settlement is not an admission of liability in any regard.” Slater and Gordon lawyer Rory Walsh said the government and its contractor’s defence “was that it was the PNG authorities doing the imprisoning and detaining and not them”.
“The denial of liability allows the Commonwealth and the defendants to run those positions in any other cases and maintain that position,” he told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
Lead plaintiff Majid Kamasaee, an Iranian, welcomed the settlement as an overdue acknowledgement of the suffering he and others endured.
“This case is not just about me, it is about every person who has been trapped on Manus Island,” said Kamasaee, who was held there for 11 months “I left my home in Iran in 2013 because of religious persecution and I came to Australia seeking peace, but I was sent to Manus, which was hell.
“The way we were treated at the Manus Island detention centre was degrading and cruel.”
While the Manus camp needs to close following the PNG court decision, Dutton has made clear those housed there would not be moved to Australia but instead relocated to third countries such as the United States and Cambodia, or resettled in PNG. The government has not revealed any plans to shut down the Nauru facility.

Question: George Honeyman offers insight into Sunderland’s tactical approach

Struggling Sunderland are not playing well enough to play “pretty football” and will have to outwork teams to climb the Championship table.
That’s the view of attacking midfielder George Honeyman, who has offered a revealing insight into Sunderland’s current approach.
Sunderland have got off to a terrible start in the second tier since relegation from the Premier League, with Simon Grayson overseeing just a single league win in 11 games.
A hard-fought point away at Preston North End raised hopes that a corner could soon be turned with a more to back to basics approach.
Honeyman, who has three goals this season, admits the Black Cats are not in a position to play flowing football from the back and have to adopt a more “effective,” direct approach.
The 23-year-old academy graduate says Sunderland will have to outwork teams and do the ugly side of the game to start climbing the table.
Honeyman said: “I don’t think we’re in a position where we’re playing well enough to start playing pretty football, getting it down and passing it out from the back.
“We’ve got to try and outwork teams, pick up second balls.
“It might not be pretty at times but I think we showed at Preston it can be effective, especially with Duncan Watmore getting on the flick-ons and stuff. It’s going to be effective and we’ve just got to stick with it.”
Sunderland are without a game this weekend due to the international break, they return to action at home to QPR at the Stadium of Light next Saturday.
* Sunderland’s U23s kick-off their Premier League International Cup Group B campaign against Hertha Berlin at the Stadium of Light on Tuesday (KO 7pm).
Elliott Dickman’s side, who reached the final of the competition last season, will also take on Polish side Legia Warsaw and fellow Premier League 2 outfit Leicester City.
Tickets are priced at £3 for adults and £1 for over-65s and under-16s. Turnstiles 1-8 and 17-24, located in the west stand, will be open from 6pm and car parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. There is no free entry for season card holders due to competition rules.

Bristol City will be back in action on Tuesday night as they take on Brentford at Griffin Park in their third Sky Bet Championship match of the season.
Lee Johnson's side suffered a defeat to Birmingham City on Saturday despite the Robins taking the lead in little over a minute, thanks to Bobby Reid with his third of the season.
The midfielder has been in sublime form since pre-season and his role just behind the striker seems to have rejuvenated the former academy player.
Johnson is still looking to add another attacking player to the ranks and City have been heavily linked with Luton Town frontman Isaac Vassell. The Robins have had at least one bid turned down for 23-year-old.
Aden Flint's City career, meanwhile, is still unclear with Johnson confirming that the club have turned down one final bid for the defender - while Blues boss Harry Redknapp says his side will move on to other targets.

Question: Kenyans Kirui, Kiplagat win 121st Boston Marathon

Represent the article to find a fitting news title!

Kenya’s Geoffrey Kirui won the 121st Boston Marathon on Monday, pulling away from American Galen Rupp with about two miles to go to win in an unofficial time of 2 hours, 9 minutes, 37 seconds.
Rupp, a three-time Olympian making his Boston debut, was 21 seconds behind and Japan’s Suguru Osako was another 30 seconds back. Americans had six of the top 10 finishers in the men’s race and two of the top four women.
Kenyan policewoman Edna Kiplagat won the women’s race in 2:21:52, needing only one try in Boston to add it to wins in London, New York and Los Angeles. She pulled ahead of Rose Chelimo of Bahrain in the Newton hills to win by 59 seconds.
“When I was running, my body was feeling good,” said Kiplagat, who was greeted at the finish line by two of her children. “I tried to push more, hard and I saw my (rivals) were not picking up the pace.”
American Jordan Hasay, making her debut at the distance, was third and Desi Linden was fourth — the first time since 1991 that two U.S. women have finished in the top four.
The warm temperatures that hit 79 degrees at the 20-kilometer mark in slowed the runners but the strong tailwind was a boost — especially for the wheelchair races.
Marcel Hug won Boston for the third time, outpushing 10-time champion Ernst Van Dyk and finishing in 1:18:04 to beat the course record and world best by 21 seconds. Fellow Swiss Manuela Schar shattered the women’s mark by more than five minutes, winning in 1:28:17.
The winners’ times on the point-to-point Boston course are considered a world best and not a world record because of the possibility of a supportive tailwind like the one on Monday.

“The wind is so important,” Hug said. “The roads were good. Everything was fantastic today.”
Earlier Monday, city officials announced plans for memorials to mark the sites where two bombs exploded during the 2013 Boston Marathon.
City officials and the families of five people who died in the bombing or its aftermath say there’s also a plan to build a separate, larger memorial to victims, survivors and responders.
Pablo Eduardo is a Massachusetts resident and internationally known sculptor. He’ll create the memorial markers on Boylston Street where bombs killed three spectators and wounded more than 260 others.
Eduardo said Monday his goal is to “embody the spirit of those we lost and the spirit of the city they loved.”

Kenya’s Alex Korio, the defending TCS World 10K champion, will return to Bengaluru to take on his compatriot and IAAF World Half Marathon Championships Valencia 2018 winner Geoffrey Kamworor at this year’s race on Sunday 27 May.
Korio, who also won this race in 2013, had a outstanding 2017. In addition to winning in impressive fashion in Bengaluru, where he beat a world-class field by 14 seconds last May, he reduced his half marathon best to 58:51 in Copenhagen later in the year.
However, the 27-year-old Korir will come to the Indian race with a point to prove after having to drop out in the world championship event in Valencia back in March.
In addition to Korio and the 2012 and 2014 TCS World 10K champion Kamworor (whose presence was announced on 8 May), another two-time winner in Bengaluru to return to this year’s race is Ethiopia’s Mosinet Geremew, who took the title in 2015 and 2016.
Geremew was among the favourites for last year’s race after his two previous wins but faded to 10th.
However, his two outings so far this year have resulted in stunning victories, with him winning both the Yangzhou Half Marathon in China and the Dubai Marathon, the latter in a world-leading 2:04:00 which makes him the 12th fastest man ever over the classic distance.
Fellow Ethiopian Leul Gebresilase was just two seconds behind Geremew in Dubai to take the runners up spot there and will also be on the start line in Bengaluru while the fastest man in the field is another Ethiopian Birhanu Legese, who has had success on Indian soil in the past and twice won the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon.
Leading the Asian challenge will be Bahrain’s Abraham Cheroben, who finished second behind Kamworor in Valencia. The Asian half marathon record holder is anticipated to also be in contention for a place on the podium in Bengaluru.
A man who knows what it is like to climb the dais at the TCS World 10K is Kenya’s Edwin Kiptoo, second in 2017 and third in 2015, and he is aiming again to feature in the top three in Bengaluru.
The rest of women’s elite field for the TCS World 10K Bengaluru 2018 that will do battle with Ethiopia’s Netsanet Gudeta, the IAAF World Half Marathon Valencia 2018 winner, will be announced early next week.
The TCS World 10K Bengaluru 2018, an IAAF Gold Label Road Race, has a total prize fund of US$213,000.
It risen in prominence every year since it was inaugurated in 2008 and is now one of Asia’s leading races over the distance.
Men’s elite field (with 10km personal best times)
Alex Korio (KEN) – 27:52
Geoffrey Kamworor (KEN) – 27:44
Birhanu Legese (ETH) – 27:34
Abraham Cheroben (BRN) – 27:35
Mosinet Geremew (ETH) – 27:36
Leul Gebrselassie (ETH) – 28:12
Edwin Kiptoo (KEN) – 28:20
Brett Robinson (AUS) – 28:29
Bashir Abdi (BEL) – 28:31
Ryan Vail (USA) – 29:06
Moses Kurong (UGA) – debut
Approximately 27,000 runners will take to the roads for five different races in what has become one of Bengaluru’s most high-profile sporting events.
In addition to the TCS World 10K for elite runners, there is an Open 10K, the Majja Run (6km) the Senior Citizens’ Race and Champions with Disability Race (both 4km).

Democrats and Republicans in Congress don't agree on much, but two senators from opposing parties think Amtrak should keep its ticket window and staff at Union Terminal.
Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, and Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, wrote a letter to Amtrack CEO Richard Anderson asking him to reconsider the company's decision to close the ticket window at the historic station and eliminate the two full-time clerk positions.
Amtrak will eliminate on June 5 the two clerks who work at the Union Terminal station and instead contract with a "caretaker" to open and close the facility.
More: Amtrak is cutting staff at Union Terminal. That has local leaders worried about the future of rail service to Cincinnati
The renovations over the past two years at Union Terminal have caused passenger levels to dip, Portman and Brown wrote. Renovations are expected to be complete this year.
"We believe that destaffing Union Terminal now would be pennywise and pound-foolish, as the decision to cut services now would likely need to be reversed once the terminal is fully renovated and ridership increases," Portman and Brown wrote.
Hamilton County and Cincinnati officials have also opposed the closure.

Question: Lonzo Ball pokes fun at his father in new commercial

Represent this text to find a news title for it!

Former UCLA star Lonzo Ball pokes fun at his dad's outspoken nature in a commercial released in advance of Father's Day and next week's NBA Draft.
The Foot Locker commercial begins with likely lottery picks Jonathan Isaac, De'Aaron Fox and Jayson Tatum discussing examples of how their dads have supported them. Then it shows Ball saying "of course there's that big day when your dad berates your high school coach in front of an entire crowd for not getting you enough touches."
Later in the commercial, Ball references LaVar Ball's debates with ESPN's Stephen A. Smith and proclamations that Lonzo already is better than 2014-15 and 2015-6 NBA MVP Stephen Curry.
Ball is expected to be one of the top picks in the June 22 draft in Brooklyn, New York.

The Ball Brothers have proven to be just as entertaining away from the hardwood as they are on it, and their most recent video skit on ESPN starring rapper Lil Dicky and former Duke star Jay Williams only proves it further. The hilarious video revolves around a mysterious fourth Ball Brother whom their father LaVar isn’t as high on as he is about his three younger hoopers. Peep the video above to watch the complete video.
