Rail - High-Speed Railway Networks
Track down more information!
Plans for high-speed rail in the United States date back to the High-Speed Ground Transportation Act of 1965, with various state and federal proposals also in place. Despite being one of the world's first countries to get high-speed trains (the Metroliner service in 1969), it has failed to spread in popularity. Currently there is one high-speed rail project underway in California and another proposed in Texas. As the US population increases and concerns over environmental impact become more pronounced, it's possible high-speed rail will gain popularity in the near future.

Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast: Head and neck cancers are becoming increasingly common
There are many causes of head and neck cancers, and treatment is complicated. And one of the fastest growing demographic of cancers in the U.S. is human papillomavirus (HPV) in younger people, says Dr. Daniel Ma, a Mayo Clinic radiation oncologist.
"This is a treatable disease," says Dr. Ma. "It's a disease that's very responsive to radiation, chemotherapy and surgery. And it's one of those diseases, because the patients are young, that there's a good cure rate."
Dr. Ma says treatment for the numerous head and neck cancers requires medical coordination. "It's where tight collaboration between an ENT (ear, nose and throat) surgeon medical oncologist who gives chemotherapy, and a radiation oncologist, like myself, who gives radiation or X-ray treatments, is crucial for the success of the treatment."
In this Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast, Dr. Ma describes the various symptoms and getting a diagnosis, and he talks about Mayo Clinic's Oropharynx Cancer Clinic, which he says is the first such multidisciplinary clinic in the country. Dr. Ma also explains advances in treatment like newer radiation techniques, including proton therapy, and more minimally invasive surgical techniques.
Watch: Dr. Ma discusses the complex care of patients with head and neck cancer.

For the safety of its patients, staff and visitors, Mayo Clinic has strict masking policies in place. Anyone shown without a mask was either recorded prior to COVID-19 or recorded in a nonpatient care area where social distancing and other safety protocols were followed.

Latvia's Plans for New Banking Sector Reforms
Author: Staff Writer April 18, 2018
AML, Latvia
aml, anti-money-laundering
Because of numerous warnings to Latvia from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) regarding weak money laundering regulations being abused by international customers, such as Russia and former Soviet Union countries, Latvia is now rushing to improve their banking sector regulations after being accused by the US of laundering money to North Korea's nuclear weapons development program.
In response, Latvia's capital, Riga, is working to crack down on shell companies, remove all deposits made in USD, and limit the amount of non-residential customers each bank can have. Of the 23 commercial banks in Latvia, 11 specifically provide services to non-residential customers. In 2016 alone, Latvia saw 446 million euros ($475 million) in exports from the financial services they provided.
After money laundering claims from the US against Latvian bank ABLV caused the bank to be dissolved in February, the rising issue of shell companies came to light with more than 26,000 shell companies being owned by Latvian bank customers as stated by Peteris Putnins, head of Latvia's Financial and Capital Markets Commission (FCMC). The US Treasury claimed ABLV had "facilitated transactions for corrupt politically exposed persons and has funneled billions of dollars in public corruption and asset stripping proceeds through shell company accounts." Because many of ABLV's depositors were from overseas, Latvia's financial market was greatly impacted after ABLV was shutdown.
Latvia's crackdown on their banking sector is limited to banks with non-residential customers after the OECD warned Latvia that non-resident deposits can be "a substantial risk that money obtained from corruption committed outside of Latvia is laundering inside the country" back in 2015. The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) claimed that during 2011 to 2014 Trasta Komercbanka, a Latvian bank based in Riga, was used by shell companies to launder $13 billion in fraud and corruption schemes in Moldova, while another Latvian subsidiary of a Ukrainian bank, Privatbank, laundered $3 billion. Rietumu Banka based in Latvia with customers that are mostly non-residentials, is also facing an 80 million euro fine from a French court that is accusing the bank of money laundering.
Latvia is currently awaiting a bill to be signed that will prohibit lenders from doing business with companies who cannot provide evidence of real operations while plans are also in place to cut down the number of non-residential bank accounts from 39% in 2017 to 5% and to create stricter regulations for the source and legality funds from past and future non-residents. Putnins has stated that Latvia can expect most of these new reforms to go into effect within the next six months.

One of the great services that we offer here in the office is INVISALIGN. The INVISALIGN service is for adults and is done on a case by case basis. For those interested, it's as simple as asking Dr. Bailey if you would be a good candidate; unfortunately the service is not for everyone.
There are many benefits of INVISALIGN versus traditional braces. For many of us braces are and always have been something that we are embarrassed about, but INVISALIGN's clear aligner trays are virtually invisible. Most people won't even know you are wearing INVISALIGN, so there will be no reason to hide your smile. Braces can also be very uncomfortable with the wires poking cheeks, something you don't have with the INVISALIGN trays. Another annoying thing about braces is the restrictions that are put on you over what foods you can and can't eat, but with the INVISALIGN's removable trays this issue is eliminated all together. The removable trays also allow you to brush and floss as normal, making sure that while you are fixing one problem that you aren't causing others (such as cavities). Many people also find the convenience factor a big benefit, rather than needing to go regular Orthodontic visits for checkups and adjustments to the braces, INVISALIGN is done here with Dr. Bailey and requires fewer doctor checkups then regular braces. And if all of that hasn't convinced you yet, then there is the cost factor. INVISALIGN is the cheaper route to go for many patients. Yes, both braces and INVISALIGN are covered by most dental insurances, but often only covers a percentage of the cost.
INVISALIGN is a cutting-edge approach to straightening your teeth, making it more convenient and cost efficient than traditional braces. It is designed to have minimal interference in how you live, but has a significant positive impact on how you look and feel about yourself. Sure, there are other options out there for straightening your teeth, but when you go through the pros/cons you will realize that INVISALIGN just makes sense. There is no reason to be putting this off any longer, during your next checkup ask Dr. Bailey if INVISALIGN would be a good option for you.

Why Do I Stretch My Hand Out?
If it was on land, it meant that it was Edwy's time to act. He immediately started to give out orders.
Maki and Chiharu were moved to an area that was about 100 meters away from the lake. Then a fan-shaped space was created out from that point, and it was surrounded by soldiers. The birdfolk chased the gazers into it. A row of archers stood in front of Maki and Chiharu, and from there, they shot their arrows at the oncoming gazers. However, the gazers were very quick, and the arrows did not seem to find their targets.
Finally, a single gazer was struck by an arrow, and let out a dim light before disappearing. And with that, a magic stone fell to the ground.
"It disappeared."
"Monsters are like objects made of miasma that have a will. They are made by God, but they are not living creatures, it seems. That's why they leave the stones and disappear."
This was explained to them by a young merman who stayed beside them as they watched in shock.
"Merfolk usually drive the monsters away. Or we just escape into the water. This is also my first time seeing a hurt monster disappear."
For some reason, he said this with a pained voice.
Eventually, half of the gazers were gone. The remaining gazers that approached were now met by soldiers with swords. And the soldiers cut them down without hesitation.
Why? Why were they coming towards Maki and Chiharu? When there was only one gazer left, Chiharu suddenly felt an eye on her.
Above? She looked up to see a different gazer staring quietly at her. Why are you looking at me? Chiharu reached up with her hand. Maki did the same next to her.
"Chihaaru?"
The young merman asked quizzically. All the while, the gazer was descending and it was about to touch Chiharu's outstretched hand. But then, there was a sound of something cutting through the air, and the gazer split into two pieces. A magic stone fell on the ground.
Ahh, why does my heart hurt?
"Chouze. Norfe. What are you doing? That's a monster."
"Nyran…"
Chiharu said without thinking.
"I see you still attract all kinds of things. I was so worried."
Nyran said as he sheathed his sword. He touched Chiharu's wet hair and looked at her for a moment before brushing it back.
Ahh. Merfolk. Gazers. How could we hide it in this situation? Chiharu looked at Maki and shook her head with exasperation.
Nyran brought his face close to Chiharu and whispered in her ear.
"The handkerchief on your forehead. And your wig. They have come off."
Chiharu immediately brought her hand to her head. It must have been when she fell in the lake. Oh, no. It didn't matter if they were disguised or not when around the merfolk, but with the soldiers…
Just then, they heard a shout coming from the front. The last monster had been slain.
"Maki-chan, what should we do?"
"I think you can faint, maybe."
"Faint?"
"Well, you were attacked by gazers and dropped in the lake and miraculously saved by merfolk, weren't you? Even one of those would be a good enough excuse to faint."
"Excuse to faint…"
Maki was laughing mischievously.
"Chihaaru."
"Merman."
"Call me Amia."
"Amia."
The young merman smiled gently.
"There are not many lakes and rivers in the dwarven lands, and so it was difficult chasing after you two. I'm glad you took the scales. It made it easier to find you."
"Chase after us? How?"
"The world of water is much larger than what land-dwellers think. That's how it is."

SFxMM's Missing Save System Is Deliberate, Says Capcom
So, what's up with Street Fighter X Mega Man's missing save system? Responding to a forum user who asked this very question, Capcom USA's Senior Vice-President, Christian Svensson, assured everyone it wasn't an oversight. Here's what he had to say:
"We talked about adding passwords or saves but folks here (and Zong Hui) felt that the game, like MM1, could be played through in about 40 minutes and that it wasn't necessary. If you had to step away in the middle of a session, just leave it running.
Maybe we'll do an update and add it, but it was a deliberate decision."
Personally, I don't mind. But I can see where it might come in handy. Can you imagine the pain and agony having to start from scratch if, say, your power went out? And right before the secret boss, too!
So what do you think? Does SFxMM need some sort of password/save file feature? Should Capcom get to work on that update?
Source: Ask Capcom
Prof. 9 December 18, 2012 at 6:11 PM
It's not lazy! It's a feature!
Cyberguy December 18, 2012 at 6:28 PM
It was intentional?
IT WAS FREAKING INTENTIONAL?
Why would you... How can you... The sheer LAZINESS of it appalls me!
Who cares if it can be polished off quickly? People might get stuck on a boss or level, someone might need to take a break and come back later! It's inexcusable!
ProtoScott December 18, 2012 at 6:37 PM
There is no doubt that the game needs a password system. All the 8bit games can definitely be beaten in one sitting, but I like to throw on the game while I wait to do other stuff, so it is annoying to have to start at the beginning every time. Especially since the last time I played I almost beat the game before having to stop to do something else.
yes it needs it
the game crashes sometimes and its a pain to do it all over again
i wass at the boss rush and i got a game maker error
Pitch December 18, 2012 at 6:57 PM
I left it yesterday when I first started playing it. I had cleared all the main stages and the first final stage. I was going to come back to it after working, but when I came back it had crashed. DX
It really wasn't a big deal, though. It was quick and easy enough to get back there. Still, a Save feature would've been nice, and it would be nice if they had a reason to omit it other than "you shouldn't need it."
RockmanCraze December 18, 2012 at 7:04 PM
I can take or leave passwords. I haven't used one in a Megaman game in years...
But the lag on my non-gaming savvy laptop is brutal, not to mention the issues I've had with my MadCatz controller.
Priority one: Port this sucker to a console. NOT PS3!!!
MegaRockEXE December 18, 2012 at 7:17 PM
Ha! MegaMan 1, 40 minutes? Took me about 16 hours and it's nowhere near as fun.
Flame December 18, 2012 at 7:27 PM
In this day and age, after 25 years of Mega Man, it's pretty unforgivable to not have save or at least a password system, 40 minutes or not.
Even Powered Up has a save. And that's a Mega Man 1 remake!
Even MM9 and 10 have saves, and they are "retro" styled, in the vein of 1-6.
When those all have a way to record your progress, it's pretty unforgivable design to deliberately leave it out. SFxMM is NOT MM1. I mean, geez, Ive complained about trying to be Mega Man 2 all over again, but this is a bit worse.
Krazy Monkey December 18, 2012 at 7:30 PM
Yes, a password and save feature would definitely be nice, but what they really need to do right now is fix those laggy controls.
Chadidas December 18, 2012 at 7:45 PM
Yes,please! I don't have much time during the day or night to play as much as I'd like, and I would also like if possible the option to replay a level with the abilities I've gained from other characters! Other than that, the game is great and I don't have too many complaints, though perhaps an actual story or even playability with other characters or appearances by other Mega Man characters would be amazing! Much appreciation for a great game, though!
It's almost the year 2013 not having ANY sort of a system to continue should not be acceptable.
Hypershell December 18, 2012 at 7:57 PM
No game "needs" to have a save feature if you're willing to leave it on all day.
However, this is the year 2012. So...yeah.
I mean, SFxMM is free, so it's hard to complain about it. But if you INSIST to go there, Capcom isn't going to come out on top. First of all, some of us have lives, which may demand our attention somewhere in that 40 minute window. Secondly, those who lack the MAD ELITE SKILLZ to blaze through the game would probably appreciate the ability to digest it in smaller bits.
I mean, by Sven's logic, why does MM2 have a save system? It's not much longer than MM1, and it's nowhere NEAR as hard.
Jo Li KMC December 18, 2012 at 8:10 PM
No offense to Zhu for all his awesome work, but seriously. I just want to fight the fortress bosses again. And I don't have to have to work at it again. I'm lazy.
Also, 40 minutes my ass. It took me two hours my first time. XP
(Off-topic: My reCAPTCHA word for this comment was "ecredits". Heh.)
I was fine with the lack of saving, until I started trying to get the secret boss. Then it became a nightmare.
RADIX December 18, 2012 at 8:17 PM
The addition of a save/password feature would be greatly appreciated.
Parra December 18, 2012 at 8:21 PM
Pretty sad, one of the reasons why I like this series it's because I'm not a hardcore gamer, but I like the challenges. Mega Man it's one of the few franchises that offer a gameplay between hardcore and casual gaming (old school hardcore gaming if you want to label it).
I'm looking forward for that update, I haven't got time for playing this game.
I think the game is a little too short for a password system, If it had mm3's length then yeah I would dig it. but there's only 12 stages, counting the secret boss.
N-Mario December 18, 2012 at 8:52 PM
Yes. I need at least a password or save system. I got all the way up tot eh final 4 stages, and I don't want to keep having to play all the levels over again. I rather start at the 4 boss levels if possible. :)
ShadowNeko003 December 18, 2012 at 9:16 PM
EVERY GAME should have a Save/Password setting!!
Password or Save System is a must! Without it, we will suffer a lot, and we will blame someone who created SFXMM.
BassDS December 18, 2012 at 9:49 PM
@ Mega Rock EXE
Actually, You CAN beat Mega Man 1 in about 40 minutes, sometimes it can be 45, but it's possible. I should know, cause before I decided to covert to doing LPs (and having to redo what videos I have from scratch which is what I''m doing ATM) My Mega Man 1 recording lasted about 42 minutes, and heck, I didn't even get a game over for the first time when I did recording.
And yes, this IS coming from a fan of the Mega RPG section.
It is OK.
We are SOOOO used to save features and some other helps (passwords, internet) to beat games. I, personally, appreciate the nice touch to beat a game from start to end without any helps. (just my thoughts)
TAG December 18, 2012 at 10:28 PM
I don't really mind having no save/password system (though it would be awesome to have one). What I DO mind, though, is not being able to close my laptop without the game screen permanently turning black and having to quit, thus losing all my progress. And the laggy controls. And any other bugs Please fix it. Please? I like the game, but the bugs are buzzkill. D:
@ BassDS That's probably a speedrun, though, when you already know the game inside and out. When you're just playing causally, things like death and game-overs tend to happen.
And then there's real-life interruptions, getting stuck on a certain level or boss and then losing all your progress, and the general satisfaction that comes from a finished save file you can come back to at any time.
To those complaining about laggy controls, that's unlikely to be fixed anytime soon since the game was made in Game Maker and that as a whole tends to lag on newer systems.
It's sad when a fan-game with so much endorsement ends up being rather mediocre. If they didn't make it in Game Maker and actually took time to polish it, then it'd be a lot better.
Oh well, at least we have the dozens of other megaman fan games, like romhacks and such. Rokko-Chan was made in flash, yet it's a lot better than this. This is just degrading.
Hoth December 18, 2012 at 11:26 PM
Um, yeah I would like a password or save system.
Honestly, while I do love Megaman, I am not amazing at side-scrollers. I know that is a hallmark of Megaman but so are passwords. For people who are not fantastic at these types of games they will probably never get past the initial eight 'Street Fighters'. Lastly, although it has already been addressed, some people don't want to replay an entire game just to reach a specific part.
As a side-note, I don't understand why Capcom felt the need to address this issue publicly. To me, the way they phrased their official statement was less informative and more aggravating. Yes, it lets us know that it wasn't an oversight but at the same time it comes off as using faulty reasoning. The problem with that is it comes off as Capcom not being able to make well thought out decisions, even only to a minor degree.
MusashiAA December 18, 2012 at 11:46 PM
It would be appreciated (a debug menu would be even better, while also not needing to add a save/password feature as you could go to any stage at any time), but I can see why it's not there. The game's short and tough. It takes practice and patience to beat it the first time.
I was also wondering why there wasn't a password or save feature when I first played MM1. Just continue or go back to square one. But the game is designed to be beaten in one sitting. And alas, MM2 brought us a password system plus E-Tanks.
So yeah, not needed but appreciated.
Speyeker December 19, 2012 at 12:04 AM
Ditto Parra. I haven't touched the game yet (though I did download it) since I'm really busy, but I was thinking about maybe going through a stage or two--you know, to make incremental progress. Now I find out I can't even do that.
So yeah, I'll have to find some window of time to play this, but probably not in the next little while.
Dr. Jerk December 19, 2012 at 12:16 AM
All my facepalming, all my facepalming. I guess part of the blame lies on the fan-game's creator (no offense to him really), but still... all my facepalming.

I've said this before somewhere else, but it bears repeating.
I may love Mega Man, but that doesn't mean I'm great, or even that good at it. I love it DESPITE the difficulty I have completing them. So finding out that the secret boss requires 3 perfects and having no save system is like a slap to the face for a fan like me. I did eventually beat Mega Man 9 with no deaths, but do you know how many times I had to restart?! I ONLY completed that because of the save system and thought about giving up numerous times.
Long story short: Please add a save system or I probably won't bother playing it anymore.
Darrien December 19, 2012 at 12:35 AM
Yeah, I know I'm in the 21st century and all, but I'm pretty poor, and my family happens to only own 1 computer. Even 40 straight minutes of continuous time is hard to get, and there's no way I could just leave the game running while other people are using the computer. So, basically, although I've enjoyed the bit I've played, there's no point in me trying to do anything with the game as long as I can't save some kind of progress.
Kind of a shame really, it seems pretty fun, even if Ryu beats me down...
TrenoNeoKnight December 19, 2012 at 2:02 AM
Game just crashed on M. Bison. I'd be fine going back to Balrog with all the E. Tanks I saved. Lol nope, gotta play it through again. Not the first time the game's crashed on me during that "40 minutes"
At least a save or password feature would alleviate some of this aggravation.
Also, while I appreciate the challenge of limited E. Tanks, it feels very un Mega Man.
Of course it has no saving feature, the game is free after all. Knowing capcom they will ask us to pay to unlock or download the save feature xD
It's a feature!
We Bioware now
Zieldak December 19, 2012 at 6:22 AM
Well yes. The save feature must be in the game. At least a simple password system, like in Mega Man Rocks. And yes, the game is brutally laggy sometimes.
By the way, to be offtopic again. Did you notice some of the songs are remixes of Classic Mega Man games, Like Seth's Lab (MM2 Wily 3-4) or Dhalsim's Stage (MM3 Snake Man)?
Chūtora December 19, 2012 at 6:55 AM
If this was a console game, then the lack of a save feature would not have been a huge problem. I would not have liked that feature, but it would not have been too much of a big deal since you can pause the game, leave it idle, and continue when you can (unless the power goes out).
But this is not a console game. It's a computer fan-game that risks crashing on even a newer computer. How could they be so naive to not see this? Idiotic.
What the fuck. And the thought of giving people the OPTION didn't cross their minds? This is ridiculous :/
Passwords are a must! The game is so glitchy, it is a pain. I died many times because Mega Man didn't jump over a pit when I pressed the button. The only good point is that sometimes he starts charging his weapon without holding the attack button!
Perhaps capcom didn't understand that for such a thing to not be infuriating, you need to have infinite lives. Not everyone likes having to start from the beginning upon every game over.
Cucumber December 19, 2012 at 9:04 PM
This reminds me of getting to Reptile in Mortal Kombat 1.
Maybe some of you aren't, but I'm sure that like myself, some of you are old enough to remember when NO game had saves and not that many had passwords. I think it's funny listening to you piss and moan about it!
I think they should have put in a password system personally, especially since the game sounds quite buggy, but really, it sounds like this is a fully retro gaming experience!
@Cucumber: Except all main Megaman games after the first had password or save systems. And really, just because game used to not have these features, it doesn't mean it is or even was a good idea.
BobTheLawyer December 20, 2012 at 5:50 PM
I'm slow at this! I need saves!!!


Even though trees look like they're hibernating all winter, tree roots still grow a bit during winter!
Does that mean trees need you to provide water all winter long?
Read on to learn if you should water newly planted trees or established trees in winter. If you live in Colorado, the rules for watering trees are a bit different since the conditions are unique!
Should you water newly planted trees in winter?
Generally, if you live in a place with a snowy season, you don't need to water newly planted trees in winter. Instead, the trick is to make sure your tree has enough water right before winter–usually around late October or early November. That way, your tree is fully loaded before the ground freezes, and you don't have to water again until early spring.
But, if the winter weather is super mild and the ground isn't frozen, you can top your trees off with a bit more water if they need it. Evergreens, especially, can get thirsty in the winter. That's one of the reasons you'll see brown needles on your evergreen in the winter, so put them at the top of your watering list. And do this check before overloading an already-hydrated tree.
Another exception? If you're in a drought and the temperature is above freezing, you should also plan on giving your trees a deep watering once or twice a month. Click here to find out if your region is suffering from drought.
Do your established, mature trees need water in winter, too?
If your winter is mild, you're in a drought, or your evergreen is turning brown, check if your mature trees could use some water. Otherwise, you're probably good!
Let's get regional! Should you be watering trees in winter in Colorado?
If you live in Colorado, you know trees need special care. Even with all the snow, your trees get very little water from it. We're talking 0.5" of water for every 12" of snow. That means the winters are dry.
Ready to water? Use these step-by-step instructions to water your tree just right!!

Fairview Church of Christ has a rich history dating back to the early 1900's. In 1911, W.C. Gentry and his wife, I.F. Gentry transferred ownership of the present property to J.L. Peek, Van Talbot and Simeon Carr, who were church elders of the congregation. This land also included a church building which was used by our congregation until 1945, when it was torn down and a new building erected. In 1964 an additional strip of land was given to the congregation by Edward and Thelma Crawley and classrooms were added to the building. Other additions to the church building included bathrooms in 1975 and the baptistery in 1977. In 2007 our current church auditorium was added along with two new bathrooms and a new baptistery. Our old auditorium was remodeled into a fellowship hall, used for business meetings, fellowship meals and other events.
Our rock marker, located in front of the building, was placed in 1930 by Talt Terry. Traveling to Monterey, Tennessee in a wagon drawn by two mules, Brother Terry picked up the sandstone rock that would become our marker. After this two day trip, Brother Terry hand carved the words "Fairview Church of Christ" into the sandstone. Because of its resemblance to a grave marker, many who passing by in their wagons would laugh and say Fairview must have died because they have put up their marker.
During the early years of the congregation, having no regular minister, the men of the congregation would read from the Bible and give a talk. Two of these men were Gillis Smith and Talt Terry. In the 1930's, Ben Fox and Jess Kurkendall preached some for the congregation. Others who preached during this early time were Brothers Ward, Lawson, Anderson, Newman and Hunter.
Brother Charlie Lemons held one of our first Gospel meetings we have on record. It was held in August, 1940. Charlie and Willy Lemons held several meetings over several years at our congregation during this time.
Some of our elders and deacons have included Van Talbot, J.L. Peek, Simeon Carr, Harley Jackson, Edward Wright, Comer Phillips, Landon Loftis, Woodrow Sells and Arliss Talley.
Another notable person, who preached for our congregation in the earlier years, was A.W. Dicus, who later wrote the hymn entitled "Our God is Alive." This hymn is still in hymnals and sung at many congregations today.
Our congregation at Fairview continues to work for our community, serving the people with love and concern for their soul's salvation. We continue to host Gospel Meetings and Gospel singings, and strive for every opportunity to bring others to God.

Former Republican: We've got a bankrupt party
Just days after his arrest on a charge of domestic violence, Reuben Foster has found a new NFL team – a move that has prompted some public backlash.
The Washington Redskins claimed the linebacker off waivers Tuesday, but he won't immediately be taking the field. Foster has been placed on the NFL commissioner's exempt list, which means he cannot practice or attend games while the league reviews his arrest, league spokesman Brian McCarthy told CNN.
The Redskins' move for Foster, who was released by the San Francisco 49ers over the weekend, sparked outrage at a time when the NFL is trying to overcome criticism that it has been too lenient on players who have been accused of domestic violence.
"I was a little surprised (Foster was picked up)," 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters Wednesday. "Not the team in particular, but that someone did. But, someone did. I saw it just like you guys did."
Washington head coach Jay Gruden fielded multiple questions about Foster's acquisition following practice Wednesday.
"At the end of the day, we decided to make the move, and we'll deal with the outcry, so to speak," Gruden said.
Gruden also added there is no guarantee Foster ever plays again.
"I anticipate it will be a while before (Foster plays)," he said.
A column Tuesday in USA Today said the team's addition of Foster sends a "vile, inexcusable message," and asks how team officials can explain why they're employing someone accused of abusing a woman.
"Will they try to tell their loved ones that it's OK to turn a blind eye to domestic violence as long as a man has talent? With this move, that's exactly what the Redskins are saying," columnist Mike Jones wrote.
"I don't think Reuben Foster will ever play a down for the Washington Redskins but that organization just told you today what they think about domestic violence," sportswriter Richard Deitsch posted to Twitter.
Brenda Tracy, founder of #SetTheExpectation, a group that speaks to high school and college sports teams about sexual and physical violence, posted this reaction on Twitter: "Setting my activism aside, as a survivor of domestic violence and rape – Reuben Foster being picked up 72hrs after his release – hurts."
Setting my activism aside, as a survivor of domestic violence and rape - Reuben Foster being picked up 72hrs after his release - hurts 😢
— Brenda Tracy (@brendatracy24) November 28, 2018
CNN has reached out to Foster's agent but has not heard back.
The Redskins issue a statement
Perhaps anticipating a backlash, Washington released a statement on Foster from Doug Williams, the team's senior vice president of player personnel.
GLENDALE, AZ - OCTOBER 28: San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster (56) looks on in game action during an NFL game between the Arizona Cardinals and the San Francisco 49ers on October 28, 2018 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. (Photo by Robin Alam/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images)

"The Redskins fully understand the severity of the recent allegations made against Reuben," Williams said. "If true, you can be sure these allegations are nothing our organization would ever condone.
"Let me be clear, Reuben will have to go through numerous steps including the full legal process, an investigation and potential discipline from the NFL, as well as meetings with counselors associated with the team before he will ever have the opportunity to wear the Burgundy and Gold as a player.
"That being said, we decided to investigate the situation with Reuben further by claiming his rights after candid conversations with a number of his ex-Alabama teammates and current Redskins players who were overwhelmingly supportive of us taking this chance.
"Nothing is promised to Reuben, but we are hopeful being around so many of his former teammates and friends will eventually provide him with the best possible environment to succeed both personally and professionally."
Reuben Foster has been arrested three times in 2018 and was suspended for two games to begin the NFL season.
Less than 72 hours after being arrested on domestic violence charges and waived, a team claimed him on waivers, possibly to have him play right away.
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) November 27, 2018
The Redskins have five players on its active roster who played with Foster at the University of Alabama from 2013 to 2016.
Commenters on Twitter also noted that Washington claimed Foster despite a history of arrests while former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who drew controversy for kneeling during the National Anthem before games, still can't get a job in the NFL.
-Claim Reuben Foster after multiple arrests and with a potential pending suspension
-Go with Colt McCoy and Mark Sanchez at QB
-Don't sign Colin Kaepernick
— Tim Kawakami (@timkawakami) November 27, 2018
Fascinating that teams are so afraid of blowback to Kaepernick that nobody will touch him, but obviously don't fear strong enough backlash over a player repeatedly involved with domestic violence. What does that say about us as fans, esp. if the team is calculating correctly?
— Judy Battista (@judybattista) November 27, 2018
Foster's troubled history
Foster, 24, was arrested Saturday night after police responded to the Grand Hyatt hotel in Tampa, Florida, for a domestic violence investigation, according to a city press release.
The former first-round draft pick was charged with one count of first-degree misdemeanor domestic violence and booked into the Hillsborough County Jail. Foster declined to comment when he was released from custody on Sunday, according to footage from CNN affiliate WFLA.
Police said Foster's 28-year-old female companion reported that he "slapped her phone out of her hand, pushed her in the chest area, and slapped her with an open hand on the right side of her face."
The 49ers released Foster on Sunday, hours before their game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"We have a set of standards in place that the players were involved with in developing," 49ers general manager John Lynch said. "In this case, it was communicated exceptionally clear to the point as to what we expected out of him.
"(His release is) more of a comment on him not living up to what we had communicated and to the energy and the time we had invested into him."
In April, Foster was charged with felony domestic violence for allegedly attacking his girlfriend in February at their home, leaving her bruised and with a ruptured eardrum, the Santa Clara County district attorney said. At that time, the 49ers announced he would not participate in team activities as he tends to legal matters.
Washington roster now includes...
-Michael Floyd (Multiple DUI, passed out at intersection)
-Adrian Peterson (Switches)
-Reuben Foster (Multiple DV)
-Caleb Brantley (Alleged DV, charges dismissed)
— Ian Kenyon (@IanKenyonNFL) November 27, 2018
In May, those charges were dismissed after she recanted her story, and Foster then rejoined the team.
"It has been made clear to Reuben that his place on this team is one that must continue to be earned," Lynch said in a statement at the time.
In July, Foster was fined and suspended without pay for the first two games of the 2018 regular season for violating the NFL's conduct and substances of abuse policies. The violations stem from a weapons offense and a misdemeanor drug offense, both of which were resolved earlier this year.
A thorny issue for the NFL
The NFL in recent years has faced intense public scrutiny over how it has dealt with other domestic violence cases.
In 2014, the league suspended Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice for two games for punching his then-fiancée Janay Palmer.
But after a public uproar over a video of the incident published by TMZ, the Ravens released him and the league suspended him indefinitely. Charges against Rice were dropped after he completed a pretrial intervention program, but he hasn't returned to the NFL.
Also that year, the league suspended running back Adrian Peterson over allegations that he disciplined his then-4-year-old son too harshly with a stick. Peterson pleaded no contest to misdemeanor reckless assault.
The NFL reinstated him in 2015 on the condition that he follow a number of requirements, including counseling. He now plays for the Redskins.
In 2016, New York Giants kicker Josh Brown was suspended for one game in connection with a May 2015 arrest on suspicion of abusing his wife. Authorities closed the investigation without charging him, and his wife didn't speak to NFL investigators.
But the Giants later cut him after authorities released letters and journal entries in which the veteran kicker admitted to the abuse. In 2017, the NFL suspended Brown for six games, and he hasn't played in the league since.
CNN's Wayne Sterling, Hollie Silverman and Eric Levenson contributed to this report.

Rugby's Sidestep Into Unknown Territories
In 2019, Japan will become the first Asian country to host the Rugby Union World Cup. The ninth edition of the William Webb Ellis Trophy will take place from the 20th September to the 2nd November next year.
2015: Year of the All Blacks
The last tournament took place in 2015, with the hosts being England and Wales. The tournament was dominated by New Zealand, with the All Blacks beating their rivals Australia in the final. After the tournament it was announced that over 2.4 million people bought tickets to watch the games live, and over four billion people viewed at least a minute online.
"Rugby World Cup 2015 will be remembered as the biggest tournament to date, but I also believe that it will be remembered as the best. England 2015 has been the most competitive, best-attended, most-watched, most socially-engaging, most commercially-successful Rugby World Cup" – Bernard Laposset, Former World Rugby Chairman
School of Rugby
In the run up to the tournament itself, adverts use Rugby and the event to market products. In the past Chris Snode Casting has helped shoot several adverts involving Rugby. A particularly memorable one that we cast for was Samsung's 'School of Rugby' series with BBH, Rattling Stick and director Gabe Turner. The advert featured comedian Jack Whitehall being taught the basics by former England players Martin Johnson and Laurence Dallaglio.
Advertising Agency: BBH
Production Company: Rattling Stick
Director: Gabe Turner
Eastern Popularity
Although not traditionally a sport in the limelight in Asia, the last World Cup saw 59 million more people watch the Rugby World Cup. With an audience growth of 221%, the sport's dramatic rise to the Japanese mainstream has seen companies wanting to cash in on the countries new obsession. New partners with World Rugby include Canon, Secom, Taesho Pharmaceutical and Toto, all based in the Asian country.
The Spirit of the Game
Guinness are a company that have identified a demographic in their target market that their product appeals to – Rugby fans. They have been involved in the sponsorship of teams and events in the past, and Chris Snode Casting has been involved in the castings for one of their adverts. We were proud to cast for an advert for Guinness which told the inspirational story of Gareth Thomas, the former Welsh international player, who was shown incredible support by teammates, opponents and fans after he revealed he was gay. The commercial embodies the spirit of Rugby, by showing that despite rivalries and physical battles on the pitch, there is always respect of one another no matter what your background is.

Artificial intelligence has become an indelible part of daily life for nearly everyone. Although it's influencing nearly everything from how we shop to what we watch on television to how we receive healthcare, one area where AI has had a transformative influence is in the realm of cybersecurity.
Just a few years ago, experts predicted that AI was the future of cybersecurity, with some going so far as to say that machine learning would ultimately render humans obsolete when it comes to protecting data and networks. Those predictions have been scaled back some, with most agreeing that nothing can replace the human role in security, but that doesn't mean that AI hasn't become a cornerstone of most security products and strategies.
The martech industry is no stranger to AI, with many organizations already using cloud-based AI and machine learning tools to develop more personalized and conversational campaigns. Companies shouldn't overlook, though, the role that AI plays in security, and how it's improving the ability to predict and prevent future events, as well as more effectively identify security breaches before they cause substantial loss.
Despite the seeming focus on AI as a standalone security technology, most IT security professionals see it as part of overall cloud security solutions. AI is a tool that gives their existing security solutions more power, by providing the analytics necessary to be more efficient and effective at identifying and mitigating risks.
It's with these priorities in mind that security developers are implementing AI capabilities into tools, which is in turn making some noticeable changes to how cybersecurity in general is managed.
By all accounts, we are only at the beginning of the age of artificial intelligence and have barely scratched the surface of the technological capabilities. That being said, AI is already revolutionizing security efforts in several ways.
Faster incident response. In 2015, it took an average of 146 days for companies to notice a data breach or other issue on their network. Within a year, that average dropped to 99 days. This is thanks in large part to AI, which is becoming continually more adept at identifying patterns, and spotting anomalies. The more information that AI has to go on – i.e., a greater sense of what's "normal" – the easier it becomes to identify abnormal situations.
Improved incident response. Not only does AI allow for the faster identification of security issues, it also improves that response. In a disaster or emergency situation, AI's predictive capabilities can provide insight into the extent of the problem and the remaining risk. Armed with this information, security teams can make more informed decisions that solve the problem quickly, rather than waste time on measures that prove ineffective in the long run.
Improved cloud integration. For years, one of the major objections to using the cloud was the security risk. With AI tools, concerns about security are diminished. They are still there, of course, but with AI-based scanning tools monitoring the cloud infrastructure, there is greater peace of mind that the data stored in the cloud is secure, and that any intrusions or malware will be spotted and handled swiftly.
Despite these advantages, AI works best when combined with human intelligence and intuition. While they have the benefit of being able to work together to continuously monitor multiple systems and machines, without a human eye to investigate, AI could make incorrect assessments. For example, unknown anomalies must be looked at to determine whether they are a true security risk, or a simple glitch in the system, something that needs to be done by humans. Human feedback remains a key aspect of any AI tool's ability to learn; after all, you can't simply "turn on" AI and expect it to work.
The bottom line, then, is that while AI is changing the world of cybersecurity, and creating many benefits for the martech industry, it works best when combined with the human element – much like any successful marketing effort.

In a multi-district litigation (MDL), related federal civil cases in different jurisdictions are transferred to one judge for consolidated pretrial proceedings via 28 U.S.C. §1407. Cases may be consolidated if they involve one or more common questions of fact, if the transfer is for the convenience of the parties and witnesses, and if the transfer will promote just and efficient conduct of the case. The goal of MDLs is to avoid discovery duplication, to prevent inconsistent pretrial rulings, and to conserve the resources of the parties and the judiciary in similar cases. As of November 2016, 245 different MDL dockets are being heard in 56 different transferee districts, with over 133,000 actions currently pending. Neither South Dakota nor North Dakota has ever had an MDL in its federal district courts.
Who decides whether a case will be consolidated into an MDL?
The JPML consists of seven sitting federal judges, appointed by the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, none of whom may be from the same judicial circuit. No statutory term limits exist for JPML members, but in 2000, Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist established a policy of seven-year staggered terms for each member. Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. has continued that policy. Current JPML members are: Chairwoman Hon. Sarah S. Vance (E.D. La.), Hon. Marjorie O. Rendell (3rd Cir.), Hon. Charles R. Breyer (N.D. Cal.), Hon. Lewis A Kaplan (S.D.N.Y.), Hon. Ellen Segal Huvelle (D.D.C.), Hon. R. David Proctor (N.D. Al.), and Hon. Catherine D. Perry (E.D. Mo.).
Any party can petition the JPML to have a group of cases consolidated, or the JPML can do so on its own initiative. The JPML holds regular hearings throughout the country every two months to consider MDL petitions. At each hearing, the JPML usually considers 15-20 motions for creation of new MDLs. Parties appear for oral arguments, with some motions having 20 or more attorneys argue. If the Panel grants the motion to consolidate, pending cases are transferred to a transferee court, and later-filed substantially similar cases are transferred to that MDL court as "tag-along" actions.
What type of cases can be consolidated into an MDL?
Either class action or individual lawsuits, or a combination of both, can be consolidated into one MDL. MDLs can involve many types of cases, like patient validity and infringement; antitrust price fixing; securities fraud; employment practices; or mass torts, such as a mass disaster like an airplane crash, train wreck, or hotel fire, or toxic torts like asbestos or environmental contaminants, or products liability like medical devices, pharmaceuticals, or other types of products.
What powers does the MDL Transferee Court have?
MDL courts are tasked with overseeing all pretrial proceedings, including discovery, class certification issues, and evidentiary and dispositive motions, and may exercise all the powers available to a federal judge in any other case. If an action survives dispositive motions, 28 U.S.C. §1407 provides that actions "shall be" remanded back to their original districts at the conclusion of pretrial proceedings. In practice, however, many MDL courts conduct one or more bellwether trials through various methods, such as having the parties consent to trial in the transferee MDL court. While cases do occasionally get remanded, the JPML has recognized that most often, MDL cases will settle in the transferee court.
