The World is Changing
snipSilkroad, a mid-sized talent management systems vendor, acquired a next-generation HRMS company last year and now offers a very best-of-breed HRMS to deliver a "total HR solution." Softscape, one of the pioneers in HR software, now sells its HRMS to more than half of its customers. SuccessFactors Employee Central, which is far from an HRMS, is designed to chip away at HRMS needs. And I would not be surprised to see Plateau, Saba, and other strategic talent management software companies build or buy HRMS features in the future. In fact, one of the hottest "new" applications of talent management is workforce planning - which needs many of the foundational elements of an HRMS to be done well in a large organization.

Surgeon refuses to answer police questions
Relevant offers
The surgeon at the centre of a criminal investigation into botched surgery has refused to be questioned by police.
Zimbabwe-born doctor Michael Parry stood down from his post at Wairau Hospital after the death of Jim Nicholls, 81, following surgery last May to remove a hernia and his gall bladder.
It is understood Mr Parry has been on paid leave since.
Another patient, Rachel Riddell, 31, died of significant blood loss in January 2011 after having her gall bladder removed by Mr Parry.
The Dominion Post understands Mr Parry was asked to attend an interview at Blenheim police station yesterday, but refused.
Patients who suffered serious complications and the families of people who died after surgery conducted by him had been asked to supply questions to police for the interview.
A coroner's inquiry into the two patient deaths was put on hold in December when police launched their own investigation into one of the deaths, to determine whether there was any "liability or culpability".
Both deaths, along with botched operations on Angie Webber, 26, and a 36-year-old Upper Hutt woman, have also come under the police microscope.
Adrien Pitcon-Mason, the spokeswoman for Miss Webber and the 36-year-old woman, said last night she was "disgusted" that Mr Parry had refused to front for the interview. "It just goes to show the arrogance of this guy," she said.
Mr Parry moved to New Zealand in April 2010 after working in hospitals in South Africa, England and Abu Dhabi.
His practising certificate has expired, but the Medical Council last week confirmed he had applied for a new one.
Inquiries with medical authorities overseas show no previous investigations into his work. He is still registered to practise in Britain.
Mr Parry could not be reached for comment yesterday.
A police spokeswoman would neither confirm nor deny whether Mr Parry was to have been interviewed, or whether he had refused.

Rivetz Corp. has been named as one of the AlwaysOn Global 100 Companies to Watch, congratulations! Please tell us, what is Rivetz all about and what do you do?
Steven Sprague: Rivetz is leveraging the trusted execution technologies in new devices powered by Intel and ARM to protect the Crypto Currency Private Keys and Transaction from Malware. We are building security services for all of the wallet providers to protect the user's secret key, securely display the transaction amounts and trusted Input to assure the users Pin number cannot be stolen. Rivetz is also helping the user to leverage their collection of devices to work together help the user manage their access to the exciting world of Bitcoin providing convenience, backup and protection that comes from having more than one device.
Who is your target audience and how do you intend to reach them?
Sprague: We are building solutions for the users of Bitcoin and other crypto currencies. Providing the benefit of hardware protection of bitcoin on the devices they choose to use. We are using tools from Trustonic and Intel to provide the solutions.
I'd be curious to hear any general thoughts you have on market trends...
Sprague: Crypto Currency provides an incredible opportunity for the modernization of E-commerce. After 20 years of typing in Credit card number and CCV codes and worrying about fraud bitcoin and trusted execution provide an opportunity to revolutionize how we shop online world wide. Bitcoin will provide global access to commerce and trusted execution provide the state of the art security we have been expecting for years.
Why are you targeting the Bitcoin market?
Sprague: Bitcoin is revolutionizing financial services. The potential to change how we all think about commerce on the Internet. In addition to currency, the block chain represents one of the most exciting evolutions of the internet in years. We are adding the ability for the internet to store a fact. This capability will affect every corner of the internet from Currency and E-commerce to Property, and licensing to Identity and Privacy. It is one of the most interesting technologies to come along in years.
What's the business model?
Sprague: We will offer user the opportunity to upgrade the android phone or Intel pc and tablets to leverage the security in their device to protect their bitcoin wallet. There will be a small fee charged to enable these features and will be available as an in Wallet upgrade. We will also offer the user the opportunity to manage their collection of devices for a small annual fee. Finally we see the opportunity to bind other services the user wishes to register with their collection of devices and believe we can help to retail these service relationships to the customer.
Who are your competitors? What is your differentiator?
Sprague: We compete with two core groups. The first is the protection of your bitcoin through complex process the user is trained to follow. The second is a collection of external hardware devices that provide similar service to Rivetz but are external to your phone or PC. We believe the built-in solution is the customer's preference.
What other market segments will benefit from your technology?
Sprague: Rivetz is focused on building security support for more than just Bitcoin. Services like access to global WIFI or secure messaging that would benefit from the storage and protection of access and encryption keys on my collection of devices can provide tremendous benefit. We look to provide the user with access to a selection of services that will benefit from a higher quality user relationship.
Will mobile device security become a major issue in the future?
Sprague: It is today. The recent compromise in Europe of the device as a second factor is a great example. I would just add that we see no distinction on the size or shape of your device. All devices should be able to provide their user/ Owner with access to the services they desire without having to bother the user to remember complex passwords in their head. By registering 'My devices' with 'My services' we can help the user have a simpler and safer relationship with the world.
What other business or technology could yours disrupt?
Sprague: The combination of the blockchain as a registration authority and the trusted execution environment as the secure device representation can offer a new style of service relationship for all cloud services. Trusted display for secure private communications, secure input to assure integrity of user provided data and protection from cloning of user secret keys will have a significant impact on the value of a subscriber.
Who founded the company, when? What can you tell me about the story of the company's founding?
Sprague: My brother and I founded Rivetz in March. After years as the CEO of Wave Systems Corp. an enterprise security software company, I saw a huge opportunity to exercise trusted computing technologies in the consumer market. While exploring the foundations for a new business model and plan I was introduce to Bitcoin in January. The light bulb went off to build a company to Integrate the modern market of Crypto currencies and Bitcoin with the client protections that can be enabled by trusted execution technologies and Rivetz was born.
What is your distribution model? Where to buy your product?
Sprague: We will offer the solution directly for users to download and install. We will also partner with the wallet and device providers to offer the solution for the end user to have a great out of the box experience.
What's next on your product roadmap?
Sprague: We have the tools to build the solution in house and hope to show demonstrations of the capabilities by the end of the summer with an SDK for third parties to leverage the Rivetz tools in the fall.
Are you targeting a first VC round? If yes when and what will you use the funds for? How much money is being sought?
Sprague: We are actively closing our seed round to fund the Demonstration and SDK and set the stage for a series A. We will use our seed round funds to build out the team and show the capabilities, wallet partners and OEM partners to take the solution to market at Scale. We are actively raising up to 1.5 million in our seed round.
What else would you like to add?
Sprague: ever since the first E-commerce transaction we have been waiting for a safer and easier model to shop and do financial services online. We are watching the decay of those systems and the level of fraud is growing daily. Rivetz and bitcoin provide a fresh approach to solving the global challenge and bringing a new age of device level commerce to the world from mobile payments in Africa to buying gold in America. Years and billions of dollars has been invested to build the foundations of this business but the exposure of the device security technology has been a challenge. Bitcoin offers the once in a career opportunity to enable tis transition.
Rivetz is building applications on both the Trustonic and Intel Platforms for trusted execution.
The company is at seed stage and is not started to generate revenues.

Miley Cyrus, Shocking Person, Smoked Weed Onstage At The EMAs
As a person who doesn't set out to be a topic of conversation or cause the populace to mildly clutch their beads, Miley Cyrus made the sensible decision to show up at an awards show last night to smoke some weed. Of course, the EMAs, or European Music Awards, were held in Amsterdam, where marijuana is tolerated, so she wasn't breaking any serious laws. When she went to accept her award for Best Video, in a very Brigitte Nielsen-esque getup, she quipped, "I couldn't fit this award in my bag, but I did find this," and then pulled out a joint and proceeded to light up onstage. And, the world around her stopped: Jaws collectively dropped, the Earth briefly slowed its rotation, the last remaining corgis passed out because of shock. Has anyone ever done something so risqué before?
While some may argue this is another example of Cyrus trying to be watercooler fodder, she would probably say she's just "being Miley." And, smoking weed, after all, is kind of her thing.
The real controversy, it appears, isn't just that the pop star exposed an already-known fact about herself onstage, but that MTV, in order to protect our delicate American sensibilities, edited the moment out. You can still see the illicit footage on YouTube, but it will imminently be taken down, which is too bad. How else will we be able to watch highly publicized, slightly banal teenage rebellion play out on an international stage?

Spring is finally here. The U.S. economy added 192,000 jobs in March, leaving the unemployment rate unchanged at 6.7 percent, according to new data released Friday morning from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This comes on the heels of last month's expectations-beating report, which showed a growth of 175,000 jobs in February.
The new report revises February's growth to 197,000 and January's to 144,000 jobs added, up from an original 129,000.
Friday's report came in slightly below Wall Street's optimistic expectations of about 200,000 added jobs in March. The U.S. economy has added 183,000 jobs per month on average over the last year, but the brutal winter across the country cooled things down a bit. Accounting for the latest revisions, from December through February, the average job growth per month was just 139,000, below the 225,000 average growth during the preceding three months. That drop-off can be partially attributed to interruption in construction, and heavy snow temporarily shutting down factories.
Signs of the positive weather change can be seen in the growth of the average workweek in the latest report. In March, the average workweek increased by 0.2 hours to 34.5 hours, including a 0.3 hour increase for the manufacturing workweek. In construction, the average workweek increased by one hour from February to March, returning to the 39.1-hour week from March 2013.
So if baseball season starting up this past week didn't prove it to you, this new jobs report hopefully should: Winter is over. With the combination of February's revised number and March's near-200,000 growth, things are looking just a little rosier. The economic recovery has a way to go, but we may finally be turning a corner after a sluggish few months.

Carolyn Kaster/AP
Foreign Policy takes a look at the future of mining the estimated "100,000 near-Earth objects—including asteroids and comets—in the neighborhood of our planet. Some of these NEOs, as they're called, are small. Others are substantial and potentially packed full of water and various important minerals, such as nickel, cobalt, and iron. One day, advocates believe, those objects will be tapped by variations on the equipment used in the coal mines of Kentucky or in the diamond mines of Africa. And for immense gain: According to industry experts, the contents of a single asteroid could be worth trillions of dollars." But the technology to get us there is only the first step. Experts say "a multinational body might emerge" to manage rights to NEOs, as well as a body of law, including an international court.
Not to be outdone by Jeffrey Goldberg's recent piece in The Atlantic about President Obama's foreign policy, the New York Times Magazine checks in with a longread on the president's economic legacy. In it, Obama is cognizant that the economic reality--73 straight months of growth--isn't matched by public perceptions. Some of that, he says, is due to a constant drumbeat from the right that "that denies any progress." But he also accepts some blame himself. "I mean, the truth of the matter is that if we had been able to more effectively communicate all the steps we had taken to the swing voter," he said, "then we might have maintained a majority in the House or the Senate."
Ronald Reagan's children and political allies took to the media and Twitter this week to chide funnyman Will Ferrell for his plans to play a dementia-addled Reagan in his second term in a new comedy entitled Reagan. In an open letter, Reagan's daughter Patti Davis tells Ferrell, who's also a producer on the movie, "Perhaps for your comedy you would like to visit some dementia facilities. I have—I didn't find anything comedic there, and my hope would be that if you're a decent human being, you wouldn't either." Michael Reagan, the president's son, tweeted, "What an Outrag....Alzheimers is not joke...It kills..You should be ashamed all of you." And former Rep. Joe Walsh called it an example of "Hollywood taking a shot at conservatives again."
In a sign that she's ready to put a longer-than-expected primary battle behind her, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D) is no longer going on the air in upcoming primary states. "Team Clinton hasn't spent a single cent in … California, Indiana, Kentucky, Oregon and West Virginia, while" Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I-VT) "campaign has spent a little more than $1 million in those same states." Meanwhile, Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Sanders' "lone backer in the Senate, said the candidate should end his presidential campaign if he's losing to Hillary Clinton after the primary season concludes in June, breaking sharply with the candidate who is vowing to take his insurgent bid to the party convention in Philadelphia."

Delivery costs holding back online grocery shopping growth
Consumer resistance to delivery fees is holding back online grocery growth in the U.S., according to new information released recently by global agency Fitch Ratings.
When online grocery shopping was first introduced, many of the reasons consumers gave for not participating surrounded choice, freshness, packing and product substitution.
Today, the concerns are not so much about the process of online grocery shopping, but the cost of getting them delivered.
Online grocery sales currently account for approximately 1% of the $631 billion U.S. grocery market. That makes this category one of the lowest penetrating and, says Fitch, even if online sales grow 10-15% annually compared with the estimated 3% annual total market growth, online would still only account for 2-3% of the overall U.S. grocery market in 10 years.
"Difficult economic factors that confront online grocers also contribute to slower growth. These include heavy upfront investments, logistical challenges associated with delivering perishable items, and the inherently low margins associated with selling food," says Fitch in a recent press announcement. "These factors will limit the number of new market entrants as well as the pace at which existing players expand."
While there are various reasons why a consumer might not choose to shop online, Fitch cites resistance to delivery fees, which can be in the region of $6 to $10 per order, as one of the barriers to online supermarket use.
Amazon's grocery delivery service, AmazonFresh, charges for delivery at costs of between $7.99 and $9.99 in the two U.S. cities currently covered (Seattle and L.A.). However, spend over $100 dollars on doorstep delivery and delivery is free. Customers can also participate in their customer recognition program, Big Radish, which can also limit or negate delivery fee costs.

One thing which seems evident to me is the advantage of renting instead of buying property. While 50 years ago buying a home would have perhaps been a great thing to do in America, these days the ability to cut and run to flee from fascism seems to be more important than anything. - ChrisWe need to ask the question: Does every person in this country want to be free?
Evidently not. Or, some want to be free in some respects, but not in others. Why try to free people who don't want it? Does that make sense at all?
Of course such people might well learn to value freedom once it is gone, but that does not mean we ought to interfere with their learning the only way they are capable of learning.

La Clínica del Cariño Family Health Center, the community health center in Hood River, has been awarded three major federal grants to increase its capacity to serve the Mid-Columbia Gorge region.
La Clínica will use the grants to build two new clinics in The Dalles and expand its existing medical and dental programs in Hood River.
The U.S Department of Health and Human Services and Health Resources and Services Administration grants provide nearly $800,000 in new and on going funding.
La Clínica del Cariño serves patients from a four-county, 73,000-people region that includes Hood River and Wasco Counties in Oregon, and Klickitat and Skamania Counties in Washington. Currently, most medical and dental treatment occurs at La Clínica's health center in Hood River. The health center has been providing outreach services to The Dalles area through its mobile dental van and medical field clinics.
Daniel Ward, Executive Director, said, "Even with our best outreach efforts, we see more need for improved access to care, especially for low-income or under-insured people." "We're eager to better serve people who live in the eastern counties — Klickitat and Wasco — by building new medical and dental clinics in The Dalles," said Ward, who became the health center's director two months ago. The grant package, according to Ward, "will also allow us to expand our Hood River dental clinic, and add staff and services to our 'Salud' health education and promotion program."
Ward added that "the dental expansion grants are especially timely, because we're nearing maximum capacity of our dental clinic."
Construction of the new medical and dental clinics in The Dalles will be complete before mid-December. New patients may begin making appointments for the clinics in The Dalles during November.
In addition to these newly funded projects, La Clínica will begin construction later this month on a more accessible patient entrance and a new non-clinical office building at its Hood River site. Those two projects will be complete in early November.
La Clínica del Cariño Family Health Care Center, Inc. was launched as a migrant health center in 1986 with a federal grant from the U.S. Bureau of Primary Health Care, Health Resources and Services Administration, Department of Health and Human Services.
A diverse group of concerned Columbia Gorge citizens had recognized the need for primary medical care for farmworker families. Approximately half of La Clínica's first patients were not farmworkers, so three years later, in 1988, the federal government designated La Clínica a community health center.
With rapid growth, by 1992 LCDC had moved to its own building in Hood River. In 1995, LCDC opened its first dental clinic, one of ten such pioneering programs in the U.S. LCDC has now expanded off-site with mobile dental clinics in White Salmon, Washington and The Dalles, Oregon, and medical "field clinics" for agricultural worker families in The Dalles and other outlying sites.
The original staff of eight has grown to over 70, including 10 family physicians, three mid-level medical providers, four dentists, and a full-time dental hygienist. More than 8,200 patients were served in 2002, with almost 31,000 clinical visits.
Though many of La Clínica's patients are employed and have commercial health insurance, the majority live with incomes below 200 percent of the federal poverty level, and over one third have no health insurance. About 25 percent of patients in 2002 were from farmworker families; about 34 percent do not speak English. Slightly over half of LCDC patients are Hispanic/Latino.
La Clínica has garnered numerous local, regional, and national recognitions for its work, especially with respect to cultural competence and to its activities in case management, patient education, health promotion, and outreach. La Clínica became the first ambulatory care facility in the region to achieve accreditation the Joint Commission on Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) in January 2003.

Airlines for America
A4A calls for national airline policy to boost global competitiveness
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Airlines for America (A4A) today called on the Senate to support a National Airline Policy in order to keep U.S. airlines competitive with foreign carriers, achieve sustained profitability and add highly skilled, technical jobs in the United States.
"Airlines enable their local businesses to export goods, connect their residents to the world for business and leisure travel – and, importantly, create good-paying jobs," A4A President and CEO Nicholas E. Calio said. "We face the very real risk of U.S. airlines increasingly shifting to feeding foreign airlines at our gateways, rather than expanding their flying of lucrative international routes."
Calio detailed how passenger and cargo airlines provide a tremendous value for American businesses and consumers, and enable the U.S. economy. In 2011, the value of U.S. exports by air was 117 times the value of exports transported by sea. Commercial aviation has grown to become one of the most important drivers of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) and today U.S. airlines carry about 2 million passengers and 50,000 tons of cargo daily on approximately 28,000 flights.
However, for years U.S. airlines have operated under a tax, regulatory and infrastructure environment that has made it increasingly difficult to make be sustainably profitable and compete globally. If the airline industry continues to lose ground to foreign competitors, it will take a toll on the larger economy, Calio said. U.S. airlines already have reduced capacity to some international markets – the most profitable part of the business – and to a great degree, the part that subsidizes many domestic routes, particularly service to the smaller communities.
In order to stay competitive and drive further economic growth, A4A outlined the need for a National Airline Policy, which would have five core elements:
Address the rising tax burden
Reduce the industry's regulatory burden
Expedite implementation of a satellite-based air traffic management system
Expand access to global markets
Enable the U.S. airline industry to attract investment

Is there more to life than money?
21 Apr 2011 17:32 GMT | Africa, Tunisia
Tunisia's ruling that men and women must feature in equal numbers as candidates in July polls is an Arab world first that builds on this year's revolt and allays fears of conservative influence, observers say.The decision by authorities preparing the July 24 constituent assembly poll after the uprising that toppled Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, the north African nation's long-serving president, has been hailed as a regional breakthrough.
The Tunisian revolution has sparked similar revolts in other Arab countries."It is historic," said Sana Ben Assour, president of the Tunisian Association of Women Democrats, after international rights groups also welcomed last week's announcement."And it is only right in a country where men and women fought side by side for democracy."The weeks of demonstrations that led Ben Ali to quit in January after 23 years in power opened the way for unprecedented freedoms in the secular state, including the unbanning of political parties that call for political Islam.
Many had feared this could lead to reverses in gains for women amid some calls by Islamists for women to be made to wear headscarves or claims that their place is in the home.But the Islamist Nahda movement, allowed to register in March for the first time since it was formed in 1981, was among those that voted in favour of the new ruling.
One of its leaders, Ali Laryadh, dismissed concerns it wanted to backtrack on women's rights in Tunisia, saying such allegations came from "people who want to misguide public opinion and attack the movement"."We were the first to call for parity between men and women for the electoral lists, and with the principal of alternating men and women on the lists," he said.
Visible presenceWomen feature relatively strongly in public life in Tunisia compared to some of their more oppressive Muslim neighbours.
They represent 26 per cent of the working population, half of students, 29 per cent of magistrates and 24 per cent of the Tunisian diplomatic corps.The previous parliament, dissolved after the fall of Ben Ali regime, had the most women in the region.
The gender parity ruling "is the first in the Arab and Muslim world, which should encourage Tunisian women to involve themselves more in political life", Laarbi Chouikha, a political analyst, said.
Al Jazeera's Nazanine Moshiri reports on how the revolution is yet to solve problems in Sidi Bouzid
The vote on July 24 will elect a constituent assembly that will be charged with drawing up a post-Ben Ali constitution and hear submissions on issues involving women.The move to full equality on the lists is "revolutionary" and "an historic step", Ahmed Ibrahim, head of the main opposition Ettajdid movement, said.Tunisia's relatively progressive stance on women is rooted in the landmark 1956 Personal Status Code that abolished polygamy and repudiation, an exception in the Arab world.It was unacceptable in today's Tunisia for women to be excluded, Lilia Laabidi, the women's affairs minister, told AFP.
"They took part in the revolution, condemned corruption and all forms of violence, it is completely normal that they should be represented 50 per cent in all sectors."
However, psychological and cultural obstacles to women's integration remained, she said."Someone who has been raised in an environment in which a woman is not free cannot realise a woman's real value straight away," Laabidi said."That is why we must stop showing women in television series as a simple Bedouin, or a cleaner or, if she lives in the city, as a prostitute."She said Ben Ali's government, during which the humanitarian work of his corruption-accused wife Leila Trabelsi was vaunted, had stifled women."The ministry of women's affairs and non-government groups could only work for her glory. Instead of giving out prizes, it was she who received them. It is the opposite of what should happen," Laabidi said.

text: NPR Staff FCC Chair: Proposal Would Let Consumers Determine Value Of Internet Privacy By NPR Staff • Mar 16, 2016 The Federal Communications Commission is proposing, for the first time, privacy regulations for Internet service providers. The goal is to let consumers weigh in on what information about them gets collected and how it's used. As they connect us to the Internet, ISPs have insight into our lives — websites we frequent, apps we download or locations we visit — and may use that data for their own promotions or sell it to data brokers to be used for marketing or other purposes. Even Astronauts Get The Blues: Or Why Boredom Drives Us Nuts By NPR Staff • Mar 14, 2016 The poet John Berryman once wrote, "My mother told me as a boy (repeatingly) 'Ever to confess you're bored means you have no inner resources.' I conclude now I have no inner resources, because I am heavy bored." We've all been there: bored in class, bored at work, bored in stand still traffic. But why do we find boredom so unbearable? And, if we hate boredom so much, why do we still take boring jobs? This week on Hidden Brain, we try to answer these questions and more – hopefully, without boring you. Bored at Work 'This Can't Go On In Chicago,' Says Anti-Trump Protester By NPR Staff • Mar 13, 2016 Donald Trump's planned rally in Chicago on Friday was canceled, but not before ugly scenes played out between Trump supporters and people who had come to protest the event. Jedidiah Brown was there. He was the young man who was shown on television yelling as he was pulled from the event stage. He's part of an organization called Young Leaders Alliance. 1976: The Last Time Republicans Duked It Out To The Last, Heated Minute By NPR Staff • Mar 13, 2016 Yes, the race for the White House is about winning states, but really it's about winning delegates. In typical elections, the front-runner in a primary ends up being the person who snags the magic number of delegates to clinch the nomination so the convention ends up being pretty much a coronation ceremony. But this year's Republican race for the nomination is shaping up to be something different. Walt Whitman's Letter For A Dying Soldier To His Wife Discovered By NPR Staff • Mar 12, 2016 While combing through various Civil War files at the National Archives, a volunteer recently discovered a letter written by poet and essayist Walt Whitman on behalf of a Union soldier dying in a hospital far from home. The National Archives is the repository of the nation's most important documents, including some they didn't even know they had, like said letter. Washington, Jan. 21, 1865(6) My Dear Wife, Author Interview: Annie Dillard, Author of 'The Abundance' By NPR Staff • Mar 12, 2016 Copyright 2016 NPR. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/. Transcript MELISSA BLOCK, HOST: 'I Ate A Lot Of Apples': Tracy Chevalier On Writing Her 'Orchard' Novel By NPR Staff • Mar 12, 2016 Writer Tracy Chevalier spins fiction from history. Her best-selling novel Girl with a Pearl Earring was set in the 17th-century studio of Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer; 2010's Remarkable Creatures focused on 19th-century English fossil hunters; and 2005's The Lady and the Unicorn told the stories of medieval tapestry weavers. Now, Chevalier's latest book looks at a pioneer family trying to scrape out a life in the swamps of Ohio. Female Sportscasters Feel Staying On Defensive Is Part Of The Job By NPR Staff • Mar 12, 2016 Women sportscasters are heartened by the jury verdict this week that awarded their colleague Erin Andrews $55 million. Andrews was secretly videotaped while naked by a stalker through the peephole in her hotel room door. Both the stalker and the hotel owner were found liable. Politics Podcast: There's Another Super Tuesday? By NPR Staff • Mar 11, 2016 The NPR Politics team is back with the weekly roundup. This week, they talk debates, fashion and what to expect on March 15, when more than a thousand delegates are at stake in six nominating contests across the country. As always, the team wraps up their discussion with "Can't Let It Go," where they share what happened this week that they just can't get off their minds. On the podcast: Campaign Reporter Sam Sanders Congressional Reporter Susan Davis Why Fastest U.S. College Mile Runner Won't Be Vying To Be NCAA Champ By NPR Staff • Mar 11, 2016 Last week, Izaic Yorks, a senior at the University of Washington, ran a mile in 3:53 — the fastest college mile ever by an American. The effort qualifies him for the Olympic trials this summer. So why isn't Yorks running in the mile at this weekend's NCAA championships in Birmingham, Ala.? Turns out, he had to make a decision: run that mile alone, or run with his team in the distance medley relay or DMR. Canine Or Cuisine? This Photo Meme Is Fetching By NPR Staff • Mar 11, 2016 We here at The Salt like to bring you serious journalistic tails from the world of food. But hey, we like to unleash our silly side, too — and like the rest of the world, we've got a soft spot for man's (and woman's) best friend. So of course, we're howling with delight at the latest food images charming the Internet: Meme-meister Karen Zack's clever Twitter photos highlighting the eerie resemblance between mutts and meals. In some cases, it takes dogged determination to separate the canines from the cuisine. Do You Sacrifice One For Many? Mirren's Latest Film Has No Easy Answers By NPR Staff • Mar 11, 2016 Helen Mirren says she hopes her new film "doesn't cause any divorces." That's because Eye in the Sky raises some very tricky moral questions. Mirren plays a U.K.-based colonel overseeing a secret drone operation in Kenya. Her mission is to capture a terrorist target, but when it becomes clear the target is assembling a suicide vest for an imminent attack, the question becomes whether to capture or kill. Jelani Cobb On His Epic 'New Yorker' Piece On Black Lives Matter By NPR Staff • Mar 9, 2016 Before Black Lives Matter was a hashtag, before it was a slogan chanted by protesters in cities across the country, before it was a national movement, it was a Facebook post by an Oakland-based activist named Alicia Garza. She wrote it after George Zimmerman was acquitted in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Why Digital Security Is An 'Arms Race' Between Firms And The Feds By NPR Staff • Mar 7, 2016 The Apple-FBI standoff, where Apple is refusing to write special software that would help investigators crack into an iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters, is largely viewed as a battle between privacy and security. Politics Podcast: Why Doesn't Anybody Want To Be Establishment? By NPR Staff • Mar 7, 2016 The NPR Politics team returns with a quick take about a word that seems to be on everyone's mind, both Democrats and Republicans alike: establishment. The team discusses what the establishment really means and why people are so reluctant to say they are a part of it. The team also talks debates, the contests coming up this week, and Madonna (yes, really). On the podcast: Campaign Reporter Sam Sanders Digital Political Reporter Danielle Kurtzleben Pastor Max Lucado Baffled Over Evangelical Trump Supporters By NPR Staff • Mar 6, 2016 If you've been following the presidential campaign, you have probably heard some talk about the power of the evangelical vote. Pastor Max Lucado is a prominent evangelical pastor and a prolific best-selling writer who almost never writes about politics. And that's one reason millions found a recent essay of his so interesting. Lucado took to his website to describe all the reasons he says Republican front-runner Donald Trump's tone and decorum fail the decency test, in a blog post titled "Decency for President." The Case For Closing — And Keeping Open — Guantanamo By NPR Staff • Mar 6, 2016 President Obama has been talking about closing the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, since he ran for president in 2008. Now, eight years later, his administration has put out a plan to make it happen. The plan is to transfer some of the remaining detainees to other countries and those who can't be transferred would be moved to a facility in the U.S. And that's the part of the plan many in Congress are railing against. On Verge Of 70, Sally Field Navigates Aging In The Spotlight By NPR Staff • Mar 5, 2016 From M'Lynn Eatenton in Steel Magnolias to Mary Todd in Lincoln, Academy Award-winning actress Sally Field doesn't shy away from taking on emotionally charged and challenging roles. All of these characters become a part of her in a sense. "They stay in me and they have always changed me in some way," Field tells NPR's Lourdes Garcia-Navarro. Now, playing a woman in her late 60s with some borderline personality issues for her latest film, Hello, My Name Is Doris, part of Doris is already in Field. 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' Challenges Stereotypes One Song At A Time By NPR Staff • Mar 4, 2016 The Final Chapter Of A Tale Of Books, Love And Mystery In Minneapolis By NPR Staff • Mar 1, 2016 It was a love of mystery novels that brought Gary Shulze and Pat Frovarp together — a love of God Is a Bullet by Boston Teran, to be specific. "I was looking at books," Frovarp, who is 75, tells NPR's Ari Shapiro. "Gary and I had seen each other. We didn't know one another. And he walked over to me in this particular bookstore and handed me a book by Teran and said, 'You've gotta read this book, it's really good.'" Has 'An American In Paris' Been Honking Up The Wrong Key? By NPR Staff • Mar 1, 2016 Sentenced To Death For Murder, A Woman Tells Her Story From 'Memory' By NPR Staff • Mar 1, 2016 Petina Gappah's new novel is narrated by a woman named Memory who is telling her story from inside a maximum security prison in Harare. She's been sentenced to death for murdering her adoptive father. The story, Memory explains, "begins on a long-ago day in August when the sun seared my blistered face and I was nine years old and my father and mother sold me to a strange man." Originals: How To Spot One, How To Be One By NPR Staff • Feb 29, 2016 Consider this: Frank Lloyd Wright was a procrastinator. Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin are afraid of taking risks. Most of Beethoven's compositions are pretty awful. Conventional wisdom suggests these originals were successful despite their hemming and hawing, their hedging, and their many flops. But Wharton professor Adam Grant says these defects are actually fundamental to originality. In his new book, Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World, Adam investigates who comes up with great ideas, how, and what we can do to have more of them. She Survived An 'Honor Killing': Oscar-Winning Documentary Airs Tonight By NPR Staff • Feb 29, 2016 This post was updated on March 4. On March 7, the film that won the Oscar for best documentary, short subject, will have its television premiere, airing on HBO at 9 p.m.. A Girl In The River: The Price Of Forgiveness is by Pakistani director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. The 40-minute documentary tackles the tough topic of honor killings in Pakistan, from a rare point of view: a survivor's. Saba, an 18-year-old girl, was shot and thrown in a river by her own family for secretly eloping with her lover — and lived to tell the tale. Some Take Massive Risks To Save Syria's Cultural Heritage By NPR Staff • Feb 28, 2016 More than 250,000 people have been killed and millions more displaced as a result of the conflict in Syria. But the destruction also extends beyond human lives. Significant parts of that country's heritage are now lost. Architecture, art and antiquities dating back more than a thousand years have been wiped out — in what some have called cultural genocide. The Quiet Beatle's Long Shadow: Dhani Harrison On Sharing His Dad With The World By NPR Staff • Feb 28, 2016 Politics Podcast: Everything You Need To Know About Super Tuesday By NPR Staff • Feb 28, 2016 The NPR Politics team is back with a special podcast devoted to all things Super Tuesday, the day when the most states and delegates are at stake in the 2016 presidential primary campaign. The team discusses which candidates need big wins to keep their campaigns afloat and predictions for what might happen after Super Tuesday. On the podcast: Campaign Reporter Sam Sanders Political Editor Domenico Montanaro Campaign Reporter Asma Khalid Some Diverse Views From Academy Members On #OscarsSoWhite By NPR Staff • Feb 28, 2016 In 1988, when Eddie Murphy presented the nominees for Best Picture at the 60th Academy Awards, he told the audience that when he'd been invited to present the award, his initial reaction was, "I'm not going, because they haven't recognized black people in the motion picture industry." Almost 30 years later, the 88th Academy awards will be presented under a similar cloud. For the second year in a row, all the acting nominees are white. Thin Mint Mashup: Grind Those Girl Scout Cookies Into Cheesecake By NPR Staff • Feb 28, 2016 With apologies to Andy Williams, now is the most wonderful time of the year ... for it is Girl Scout cookie season. But after plowing through several sleeves of Thin Mints, fatigue can set in. So we wondered, when you're starting to feel sick of Girl Scout cookies, is there a way to rekindle the love? What It's Like To Freefall From 20 Miles Above The Earth By NPR Staff • Feb 27, 2016 Before NASA had its Mercury 7 astronauts, the Air Force was launching its own team into the stratosphere — in balloons. Without the glamour or budget of NASA, these early space scientists and test pilots performed extreme experiments that helped pave the way for the Mercury crew. Among them was Captain Joseph Kittinger, who in 1960 stepped from his balloon into free fall from 103,000 feet above the ground — nearly 20 miles. Pages« first ‹ previous … 3 4 5 6 … next › last »

The bill was was approved Tuesday by the House Financial Services Committee, which Frank chairs. The measure was approved in a 40-28 party-line vote.
A new government health insurance plan sought by President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats could coexist with private insurers without driving them out of business, an analysis by nonpartisan budget experts suggests.
Healthcare reform is the hot topic in Washington these days as President Obama pushes for a bill he can sign this fall. Many analysts say something should be done to change the system while others say the system is not broken and even if it is, the Obama plan would not work. Here are two opposing views from our guest bloggers Tony Fratto and Julie Roginsky.
The typical citizen watching from afar is left to wonder: What will health care reform mean for me, besides possibly higher taxes?
The White House is being forced to acknowledge the wide gap between its once-upbeat predictions about the economy and today's bleak landscape.
While the focus for the Democrats' bill is on healthcare, some analysts say the real goal could be to raise revenues for an ailing economy and redistribute income.
Just two days ago, the New York Times heralded on its front page "Health Care Bill Passes First Test on Capital Hill", a title that belied the fact that the health care bill as currently structured has almost no likelihood of becoming law. Moderate Democrat Senators have no stomach for it, because their constituencies have no stomach for it.
Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor defended herself Tuesday against charges that her speeches and rulings show racial bias, telling a Senate panel vetting her nomination that critics had misunderstood her record.
Contrary to comments made this past weekend by Vice President Joe Biden, President Barack Obama says that the administration did not misread the economic downturn.
The pace of the economic recovery heading into the fall—electric smooth or diesel rough—will determine whether Obama can prod Congress on the key features of his agenda with momentum or from a defensive crouch.
President Barack Obama on Tuesday welcomed progress on health care overhaul as top Senate Democrats and the administration closed in on a deal with hospitals to help pay for the president's proposed expansion of medical coverage to the uninsured.
As the summer wears on and discontent grows, I expect calls will be louder and louder for additional stimulus from Congressional Democrats to put more Americans to work.
The Republican party platform should be one line long: We will stay out of your pocketbook and out of your private life.
President Obama's approval rating eased by five points this spring as Americans worried about unemployment and the federal budget deficit, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
The long-running and personal feud between Mr. Dugan and Ms. Bair is now helping to shape President Obama 's attempt to revamp financial regulation aimed at preventing the regulatory lapses that contributed to the economic crisis.
President Barack Obama promised Monday to deliver more than 600,000 jobs through his $787 billion stimulus plan this summer, with federal agencies pumping billions into public works projects, schools and summer youth programs.
Testifying before the House Budget Committee this week, Ben Bernanke said that when the time comes, the Fed will raise interest rates in order to stop inflation from building in the next recovery. He also asked for "fiscal balance" to sustain financial stability.
President Obama couldn't let General Motors fail, but he won't concede he's taking over the company.
My initial thought on Arlen Specter jumping the GOP ship is Katy bar the door. This is just the latest indication of a lurch to the left in Washington. It does not bode well for investors, businesses and entrepreneurs.
The Obama administration Tuesday will unveil measures to address the role of second mortgages or other liens on properties that might be pressuring consumers and businesses.

Romney supporter's racist T-shirt sparks outrage
Washington: A supporter of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was spotted wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with words 'put the white back in the White House' at a campaign event in Ohio this week.
After seeing it, a Romney spokesperson condemned the racist shirt and said that it was reprehensible and has no place in this election'.
According to news.com.au, above the slogan, the man had added a Romney/Ryan logo.
The image resulted in strong reactions on social networks, with comments on Twitter such as "Absolutely disgusting, shows the type of people Romney draws" and "Was an undecided voter. Voting for Obama now. If GOP this full of hate I want no part of it."
A number of liberal bloggers claimed that this is proof of the racism which is inherent in the Republican Party.
Conservative commentator Robert Stacy McCain hit back at the claims and said that the man in the photo "is not in fact a Republican, but rather is a plant sent out by the Democrats as a dirty trick".
