Use the following highlights to write an article:
Tottenham Hotspur plan to move to Northumberland Park. But there may be a season between that and leaving White Hart Lane. Wembley, Falmer Stadium and Portman Road possible options. More likely destination is MK Dons' stadium. But season-long limbo might not be as bad as first feared. Mauricio Pochettino praises Stadium mk after visiting last month. Spurs take on Sunderland at Saturday.
Article: | By. Riath Al-Samarrai for MailOnline. Follow @@riathalsam. Tottenham insist they are not in discussions to sell the club for £1billion. It was reported that billionaire owner Joe Lewis was prepared to entertain offers for the club in which his company, Enic International, bought a controlling stake in 2001. But a Tottenham statement read: ‘Contrary to recent press speculation, neither the club, nor its majority shareholder, are in any takeover discussions and the focus of the club is fully on delivering the new stadium project.’ In the original plans, the Northumberland Development Project was due to be completed by August 2014. The reports come at a time when Tottenham are searching for a temporary home, having accepted that it is 'highly unlikely’ they will be able to move into their proposed new stadium in time for the 2017-18 season. Wembley has apparently been ruled out because the stadium is limited by Brent Council to 37 events each year, owing to issues including noise, policing and parking. Arsene Wenger admitted it would make 'geographical sense' for Spurs and Arsenal to share the Emirates Stadium, though admitted it was unlikely. MK Dons' stadium:mk looks the favourite to become Tottenham's temporary home. MK Dons’ stadium:mk is understood to be a leading option and Mauricio Pochettino praised the 30,000-capacity ground on Thursday, having attended Dons’ shock Capital One Cup win over Manchester United last month. He said: ‘Every single decision that the club makes is to improve the club and give better solutions or facilities to our supporters. So I always back these decisions.’ When asked specifically about stadium:mk, he added: ‘Yes, I was in Milton Keynes to watch the game against Manchester United. It was my first time in Milton Keynes. It's a very good stadium with very good facilities.’ Mauricio Pochettino could face a season where Tottenham have to play home games at a neutral ground. Tottenham face Sunderland this weekend, having been trounced 3-0 by Liverpool before the international break. Highlighting the need for time to establish his ideas within the squad, Pochettino, who will name his new long-term team captain on Monday, said: ‘We need to learn and improve. We need to build a strong, confident and solid team. ‘The result was 3-0 to Liverpool but when you analyse the game, I think we got a lot of situation to analyse and improve. This is a good game for us to learn how to compete with the big teams. ‘The fans see that we need to improve. In football you always need time and patience and you need results. We are going the right way.’ Tottenham will move from White Hart Lane in an effort to compete financially with the big European clubs. Daniel Levy could consider moves to Wembley, Portman Road, Falmer Stadium or Stadium MK. He added: ‘My ambition is always to reach the top. We need to believe. This is the process and we need to provide our players, supporters and environment with belief. This is our objective. ‘I am very happy with the squad. When I arrived here I knew that in the last season Tottenham spent a lot of money and made a big investment. 'This season was always about believing in our players, adding some to give balance to the squad, and then get the best out of each player and shows that we are a very good squad.’ Tottenham were beaten 3-0 by Liverpool at White Hart Lane in their last Premier League outing. | 8 | Flan2021 | cnn_dailymail:3.4.0 | zs_opt |

More than 40 countries will assist the U.S. in defeating ISIS, President Obama announced Thursday in a special national address. Mr Obama's speech follows the approval by Congress today, to arm Syrian rebels in the fight against the terrorist network. The president again insisted that no American troops will be sent back to Iraq to fight on the ground. Instead the U.S. will continue air strikes against ISIS, with new help from French allies. He said the country would not be bullied by the terrorist group, who have filmed the gruesome beheadings of two American journalists. 'Americans are united in confronting the threat from ISIL,' President Obama said from the White House. 'As Americans, we do not give in to fear.'

Toni Morrison (born Chloe Ardelia Wofford; February 18, 1931) is an American novelist, essayist, editor, teacher, and professor emeritus at Princeton University. Morrison won the Pulitzer Prize and the American Book Award in 1988 for Beloved. The novel was adapted into a film of the same name (starring Oprah Winfrey and Danny Glover) in 1998. Morrison was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1993.
Toni Morrison was born in Lorain, Ohio, to Ramah (nee Willis) and George Wofford. She is the second of four children in a working-class, African-American family. Her mother was born in Greenville, Alabama, and moved north with her family as a child. Her father grew up in Georgia. When he was about 15, white people lynched two black businessmen who lived on his street. Morrison said: "He never told us that he'd seen bodies. But he had seen them. And that was too traumatic, I think, for him." Soon after the lynching, George Wofford moved to the racially integrated town of Lorain, Ohio, in hopes of escaping racism and securing gainful employment in Ohio's burgeoning industrial economy. He worked odd jobs and as a welder for U.S. Steel. Ramah Wofford was a homemaker and a devout member of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. When Morrison was about two, her family's landlord set fire to the house they lived in, while they were home, because her parents couldn't pay the rent. Her family responded to what she called this "bizarre form of evil" by laughing at the landlord rather than falling into despair. Morrison later said her family's response demonstrated how to keep your integrity and claim your own life in the face of acts of such "monumental crudeness." Morrison's parents instilled in her a sense of heritage and language through telling traditional African-American folktales and ghost stories and singing songs. Morrison also read frequently as a child; among her favorite authors were Jane Austen and Leo Tolstoy. She became a Catholic at the age of 12 and took the baptismal name Anthony (after Saint Anthony), which led to her nickname, Toni. Attending Lorain High School, she was on the debating team, the yearbook staff, and in the drama club.

Answer by taking a quote from the following article:
Muddy Waters' birthplace and date are not conclusively known. He stated that he was born in Rolling Fork, Mississippi, in 1915, but it is believed to be more likely that he was born in Jug's Corner, in neighboring Issaquena County, in 1913. Recent research has uncovered documentation showing that in the 1930s and 1940s, before his rise to fame, the year of his birth was reported as 1913 on his marriage license, recording notes, and musicians' union card. A 1955 interview in the Chicago Defender is the earliest in which he stated 1915 as the year of his birth, and he continued to say this in interviews from that point onward.
Initially, the Chess brothers would not allow Muddy Waters to use his working band in the recording studio; instead, he was provided with a backing bass by Ernest "Big" Crawford or by musicians assembled specifically for the recording session, including "Baby Face" Leroy Foster and Johnny Jones. Gradually, Chess relented, and by September 1953 he was recording with one of the most acclaimed blues groups in history: Little Walter Jacobs on harmonica, Jimmy Rogers on guitar, Elga Edmonds (also known as Elgin Evans) on drums, and Otis Spann on piano. The band recorded a series of blues classics during the early 1950s, some with the help of the bassist and songwriter Willie Dixon, including "Hoochie Coochie Man", "I Just Want to Make Love to You", and "I'm Ready". Along with his former harmonica player Little Walter Jacobs and recent southern transplant Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters reigned over the early 1950s Chicago blues scene, his band becoming a proving ground for some of the city's best blues talent. Little Walter continued a collaborative relationship long after he left Muddy Waters's band in 1952, appearing on most of the band's classic recordings in the 1950s. Muddy Waters developed a long-running, generally good-natured rivalry with Wolf. The success of his ensemble paved the way for others in his group to make their own solo careers. In 1952, Little Walter left when his single "Juke" became a hit, and in 1955, Rogers quit to work exclusively with his own band, which had been a sideline until that time. During the mid-1950s, Muddy Waters' singles were frequently on Billboard magazine's various Rhythm & Blues charts including "Sugar Sweet" in 1955 and "Trouble No More", "Forty Days and Forty Nights", and "Don't Go No Farther" in 1956. 1956 also saw the release of one of his best-known numbers, "Got My Mojo Working", although it did not appear on the charts. However, by the late 1950s, his singles success had come to an end, with only "Close to You" reaching the chart in 1958. Also in 1958, Chess released Muddy Waters' first album, The Best of Muddy Waters, which collected twelve of his singles up to 1956.

Hands down the best delivery I have had in years. Feeling to lazy to cook I ordered Spinato's last night. I got the super six pizza, thin crust, well done with extra sauce, a small dinner salad and a side order of meatballs. The pizza was Chicago style and phenomenal! (See pictures) The pizza ingredients were really fresh and the sauce (OH THE SAUCE) tangy and sweet. The meatballs were also delicious and had a very different marinara sauce than what was on the pizza. Spinato's beats any delivery in my area (Sorry Pat's) and has made the rotation in to my favorite Chicago style pizza. I can't wait to actually try the restaurant, I heard they have great specials and BYOB.

In response to press criticism, the foundation announced in 2007 a review of its investments to assess social responsibility.

Parque Batlle is named in honour of José Batlle y Ordóñez, President of Uruguay from 1911 to 1915. The park was originally proposed by an Act of March 1907, which also projected wide boulevards and avenues. French landscape architect, Carlos Thays, began the plantings in 1911. In 1918, the park was named Parque de los Aliados, following the victory of the Allies of World War I. On 5 May 1930, after significant expansion, it was again renamed as Parque Batlle y Ordóñez, in memory of the prominent politician and president, who had died in 1929. The park was designated a National Historic Monument Park in 1975. As of 2010[update], the park covers an area of 60 hectares (150 acres) and is considered the "lung" of the Montevideo city due to the large variety of trees planted here.

How Alberta and the energy sector look through the eyes of Canadians
It's no secret that times are tough in Alberta right now. We all feel it; some more than others.
But how does the rest of Canada feel?
Do they share in our pain? Take delight in our sudden fall after so much previous good fortune? Do they even care?
We asked 2,098 people from across the country all sorts of questions that relate to Alberta's current situation, through a poll we commissioned from EKOS Research.
We received reams and reams of data in response, which formed the basis for a series of stories we brought to you all last week.
But here, we boiled down some of the most interesting results into a handful of interactive graphs, which you'll find below.
Take a look at what Canadians had to say. Some of their responses might surprise you.
One of the first things we wanted to know was how important Canadians believe oil and gas is to the national economy.
Nearly every Albertan surveyed (99 per cent) said the energy sector is either "very" or "somewhat" important, and that view was largely shared by Canadians, although not quite to the same degree.
Nationwide, 92 per cent described oil and gas as either "very" or "somewhat" important to the country's economy.
Things change, however, when we look to the future.
Click on the interactive graph below to see how viewpoints shift when Canadians consider the future of oil and gas:
Looking to the future, Canadians also have varying opinions on how to satisfy our energy needs.
Those viewpoints, perhaps unsurprisingly, are sharply divided based on the political parties we support.
We asked: Which of the following do you think should be a more important priority for Canada? And offered the two following responses:
Check out how party affiliation affects the answers:
And it's not just Canadians' energy priorities that skew sharply along party lines.
When it comes to regulating the energy industry, a major difference is also apparent.
Our survey respondents were asked to rate their level of of agreement with the following statement: Governments should take necessary action to protect the environment, even if such action could result in an increase of energy costs and hurt some industries.
Of course, it's not just the federal government that plays a role.
So how do Canadians see other levels of government — and the private sector — factoring into overall energy policy?
In short: Their trust is shaky in all institutions.
Fewer than 10 per cent of survey respondents said they had "a great deal of trust" in the federal government, provincial governments, municipal governments, international collaborations such as the Paris Agreement or the private sector to "develop energy policy that benefits all Canadians."
On the whole, the federal government came out the best, with 59 per cent of respondents saying they have at least "some trust" in it, while the private sector was the least trusted, overall.
Click through each institution to see how Canadians feel:
Alberta is the only province expected to see its economy shrink in 2016, according to the Conference Board of Canada's latest forecast.
That will make two years in a row of recession for Alberta, while the rest of the country is faring relatively well.
Of course, tough times in this province are relative. Our average earnings still outpace the rest of the country by a wide margin and our unemployment rate only just surpassed the national rate.
So do Canadians feel it's time to help out Alberta? Or at least support our beleaguered energy sector?
We asked them to rate their level of agreement or support on four possible ways for Ottawa to help out:
Here's how their answers broke down on each question:
Frank Graves of EKOS said the poll's overall results suggest there is broad support for Alberta and the energy sector across the country.
"It may just be people thinking that we help each other out in this country," Graves said.
"But it also may be a more realistic appraisal to say that we need a strong Alberta economy to have a strong national economy."

Here is an article:
The drama of this year’s Super Bowl goes well beyond the field and up the ranks of organized football. As though having the league’s most charismatic team take on its most hated wasn’t epic enough, the championship match-up is a metaphor for a much larger argument taking place within the NFL.
It’s the crowning game of one of the NFL’s most tumultuous years, with a chain of scandals coming to a head that reveal mass human tragedy inside the league, casting uncertainty on the future of football as a whole. The concussion crisis puts a fine point on the inherent danger of the game, and the league’s ineffective treatment of injured players continues to exacerbate the prescription drug abuse epidemic. In trying to control substance abuse with rigorous drug testing for players, the NFL came under fire for incongruently punishing marijuana users worse than wife-beaters at a time when domestic violence accounts for more than half of all player arrests. The most striking was Josh Gordon’s one-year ban for marijuana, compared to Ray Rice’s two-game suspension for knocking out his fiancee (although both punishments were subsequently reduced and lengthened respectively). And there’s evidence that such violent behavior may stem from repeated concussions. Each finding draws further connections to a common root cause of the NFL’s varied woes — the denial that football is an increasingly unsustainable sport for players’ health.
As the NFL walks the gauntlet of bad press and worse public scrutiny, a growing number of voices point to an obvious singular solution to these problems — medical marijuana. Research shows that cannabis can reduce the severity of concussions and is a safe and non-addictive alternative to opiates for pain management. If the league were ever to allow team doctors to treat players with cannabis, it would mean fewer addictions, fewer brain injuries (and thereby less violent behavior resulting from brain injuries), and of course, no unreasonable penalties for players who choose to use cannabis. Furthermore, it would demonstrate that the NFL prioritizes players’ long-term health over short-term effectiveness. While the NFL has slightly increased the acceptable threshold for marijuana and reduced penalties under their new substance policy, it’s still prohibited and can earn players time in a rehab program, fines, and suspensions. It remains far off from being an accepted medication.
Despite league policies, NFL players continue self-medicate with cannabis in speculatively large numbers. “I’d say, conservatively, that 50 to 60% of players use cannabis,” former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe told the Guardian. His estimate echoes Redskins free safety Ryan Clark (then with the Steelers) who told ESPN’s First Take that at least half the players in the league use cannabis as an alternative to painkillers. “Guys look at this as a more natural way to heal themselves,” Clark said, though he denied using it himself. Former player and current ESPN analyst Lomas Brown made the same estimate in 2012. As medical and recreational marijuana legalization continue to spread throughout the states, that number is bound to go up.
The NFL hinted at acquiescing on medical marijuana for players a year ago, with commissioner Roger Goodell saying that they’d follow the guidance of their medical experts if they deemed it an appropriate treatment, but that those experts “are not saying that right now”. That statement came after a record year for drug suspensions in the NFL, reaching 29, nearly three times the previous highest number under Goodell’s tenure since 2006. At the outset of the 2014 season, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told this reporter in an email (in the context of a previous article on this issue), “We’ve utilized experts on substance abuse disorders and addiction and we ask them to make recommendations and to date they haven’t recommended any change … If the science shows it and there is a rigorous process in place to determine that the only drug that could help is medical marijuana, then we would consider allowing it in necessary cases.” Four months later, the 2014 season closed with 37 drug-related player suspensions. A week before this year’s Super Bowl, three former players (and Super Bowl champions) published an article on Huffington Post calling for the NFL to ease their marijuana policy. Based on the league’s past treatment of the issue, it won’t elicit a response. If the NFL is to budge on this issue at all, they’ll do so very, very slowly.
And yet the crises rage on. Though there has been a decrease in overall concussions since Frontline began tracking them, a continued increase may be unaccounted for due to under-reporting within the league. With the NFL having just settled a major lawsuit from more than 4,500 former players over handling of concussions, and recently having a lawsuit over pharmaceutical overprescription dismissed by a federal judge, it’s no surprise that the organization is actively downplaying the prevalence of either issue to avoid future cases against them. This has only drawn more attention to the problem. The drug lawsuit prompted a federal investigation by the DEA into team medical practices, which has yet to turn up results. Last month, a Vice report found that several NFL team doctors employed the services of an unlicensed pharmaceutical provider that illegally supplied painkillers and other drugs without officially documenting them. No reprimands have been handed down for such infractions and teams continue to dole pills out to players in order to keep them in play despite what they’re pain is trying to tell them. As Kluwe puts it, “Team doctors answer to the team, not necessarily to the players.”
At the center of this issue is the value of a player’s health. As the sport has become more physically punishing, NFL protocol appears to many to preserve a high level of action instead of the athletes engaged in that action. The players are left to fend for themselves against a system that takes their wellbeing for granted, from the NFL’s policymakers to the team staff on the sidelines.
One coach stands apart from the trend. Pete Carroll, head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, employs the unorthodox managerial method of unbridled positivity — prioritizing player safety and team morale, encouraging his men even when they screw up, and fostering respect towards opponents instead of aggression. Thus far with the Seahawks, Carroll’s style has won him a championship, a shot at a second one, and the adoration of players on his team and off. Following last year’s Super Bowl win, an ESPN poll found that 23% of players surveyed from across the league would like to play for him over any other coach. And his current players openly love him even during the tense period between conference final and championship game.
Along with his progressive views, Carroll has said medical marijuana use should be allowed by the NFL if it benefits players. Before last year’s Super Bowl, Carroll stated, “Regardless of what other stigmas may be involved, I think we have to do this because the world of medicine is trying to do the exact same thing and figure it out and they’re coming to some conclusions.” As a winning coach from a state with legalised marijuana, Carroll’s acknowledgement of its medical efficacy is meaningful.
“I highly doubt that Pete Carroll actively smokes pot,” Spike Friedman, sports editor for the Seattle Stranger, told the Guardian. “But in his locker room there is a manner of trying to stay open to the individuals on the team, pushing yoga and meditation … He is the most West Coast football coach you can imagine, or even produce in a lab.”
Born and raised in San Francisco, a historically progressive American city, Carroll has only seen substantial success as a head coach on the mellow West Coast. After being fired from coaching positions at two East Coast NFL teams — the New York Jets and the New England Patriots — Carroll returned to the college level and made a legendary run as the head of the USC Trojans. His selection as Seahawks head coach came in 2010 and in three seasons he revived the franchise and delivered its first ever championship in 2014. Now, he’s going for a repeat while fully maintaining the humble principles that he has espoused throughout his career.
Opposing Carroll, on the field and in principle, is Bill Belichick, whose perceived villainy stems from his tough, old school approach, and pulsates with accusations like Spygate, Deflategate, and all forthcoming Gates. Belichick likes to win, and he lacks any fiber of Carroll’s “nice guy” routine when it comes to coaching. He also doesn’t want his players smoking weed, providing the final feature for this year’s Super Bowl to symbolize the battle between a forward-thinking, sustainable NFL and a reckless paradigm that threatens its future.
In a wayward yet compelling way, a win for the Seahawks is a win for weed. And if that’s not enough to win the allegiance of cannabis enthusiasts across the country, they also have a Phish-inspired team chant and a local weed strain named for Marshawn Lynch, which Spike Friedman described as, “Instantly recognizable as excellent.”

Beer
Most beers are cleared of yeast by filtering when packaged in bottles and cans. However, bottle conditioned beers retain some yeast—either by being unfiltered, or by being filtered and then reseeded with fresh yeast. It is usually recommended that the beer be poured slowly, leaving any yeast sediment at the bottom of the bottle. However, some drinkers prefer to pour in the yeast; this practice is customary with wheat beers. Typically, when serving a hefeweizen wheat beer, 90% of the contents are poured, and the remainder is swirled to suspend the sediment before pouring it into the glass. Alternatively, the bottle may be inverted prior to opening. Glass bottles are always used for bottle conditioned beers.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about:
The following are symptoms of potential bacterial infections that may require treatment by a physician. Fever, especially with a severe head or neck ache or chest pain Trouble breathing or pain in the chest A cough that lasts longer than a week Rash or swelling that won’t go down Increasing pain in the urinary tract (which may be pain with urination, in the lower back, or in the lower abdomen) Pain, swelling, warmth, pus drainage or red streaks extending from a wound. The only sure way to determine what types of bacterial infection you have is to visit a doctor. If you think you have an infection, call your doctor and schedule an appointment right away. Your doctor may perform a blood test, urine culture, or swab of the infected area to determine what type of infection you have. Remember that bacterial infections can only be diagnosed by a doctor. If you think that you have an infection, note the symptoms and go to the doctor for treatment as soon as possible. Asking your doctor about the different types of antibiotics that are available will make it easier for you to understand what your doctor is prescribing. Broad-spectrum antibiotics fight a wide variety of bacteria. Broad-spectrum antibiotics treat gram positive and negative bacteria, so your doctor may prescribe one of these types of antibiotics if he or she is unsure about what bacteria you have. Amoxicillin, Augmentin,Cephalosporins(4th and 5th Generation),Tetracycline Aminoglycosides and Fluoroquinolones (Ciprofloxacin) are examples of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Medium-spectrum antibiotics target a group of bacteria. Penicillin and bacitracin are popular medium-spectrum antibiotics. Narrow-spectrum antibiotics are made to treat one specific kind of bacteria. Polymyxins fall into this small category of antibiotics. Treatment is much easier and more effective when your doctor knows what kind of bacterial infection you have. Your doctor will select the type of antibiotic that works best against the specific bacteria that has caused your infection. Keep in mind that there are many different kinds of antibiotics and only a doctor can prescribe an antibiotic to you. Make sure that you know exactly how much of the antibiotic you are supposed to take, and when you are supposed to take it. Some antibiotics need to be taken with food, some need to be taken at night, etc. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you don’t understand the dosage instructions. If you do not take the full course, your infection may get worse. You may also become antibiotic resistant, which can make it hard to treat other infections. Even if you feel better, you need to take all of the antibiotics to kill the disease causing bacteria that is left in your body. If you stop treatment too soon, you may never fully get rid of the infection.
Summary: | Note your symptoms. Schedule an appointment with your doctor. Ask your doctor about different types of antibiotics. Follow your doctor’s instructions for how to treat your infection.

Your e-mails: Top priority for new U.S. president
(CNN) -- Democratic candidates were asked what their top priorities would be for their first 100 days as president during Sunday's debates. Read their responses here.
CNN.com asked readers what they think should be the top priorities for the new president's first 100 days in office.
Below is a selection of those responses, some of which have been edited for length and clarity.
Bill W. of Coatesville, Pennsylvania What is the new president's first priority? 1) Get the U.S. out of Iraq. 2) Secure the border. 3) Stop outsourcing, so called free trade agreements, and trade imbalances. 4) Restore the U.S. image with foreign countries.
Parmanand Rai of Lad Vegas, Nevada End the war in Iraq and bring our troops home. That should be the very first thing for the new president. Secondly, upgrade our educational system so that American students can compete with children in India, Japan and China.
Ann Foster of Thousand Oaks, California Top priorities: 1. Ending the war in Iraq 2. Strengthening laws to protect the environment 3. Providing affordable health care 4. Education It's a tough job with tough choices.
Aaron Gordon of Washington, D.C. The top three priorities the next president needs to address in the first 100 days of office are: 1. The war in Iraq, which is draining both our dignity and money, is a mess beyond repair and description. There is no excuse to continue running this war, and in an ironic paradox, there is no excuse for cutting off funding to the armed forces already there. That issue needs to be solved by April, period.
2. Global Warming needs to be fundamentally addressed at every level of the government. There can be no 'left' and 'right' if we are all dead or starving. As the largest polluter and 'Rome' in the global economy, we need to be not just a leader, but THE leader here. As a society once defined by innovation and vision, we need to be the source of the new technology and initiatives to drastically drop our greenhouse gas emissions.
3. The deficit. Before we tackle the problems of health care, corruption, scientific ignorance and fear, the erasure of the line between church and state, and the rest, we need to raise taxes to pay back our debts and re-create the Clinton surplus. It is foolish economics to have no money in the bank and to have China own us, in effect. We, the people, need to own the country run by we, the people.
Barbara Tafoya of York, Pennsylvania The president's first priorities should be: 1) Immigration. Tighten the borders, no freebies for immigrants; this includes education. 2) Iraq. Get our troops out OR do something forceful to bring about peace and order in the civil/religious war that will most likely continue into eternity. 3) Port security. If big business in America needs to use ports to get their goods into the country to sell to Americans they should be more than willing to shoulder the monetary burden to tighten port security.
4) Health care! Everyone keeps telling Americans we're the best, we're the brightest, and we've got whatever it takes to get a job done. Why isn't health care a real priority? Why can't the entire country have health care? Goodness knows we continue to pay the taxman whatever he wants, whenever he wants it. Let Americans know what the rest of the free world does when it comes to health care.
5) Education. Why can't government listen to teachers who do this for a living to finally get it right? Teaching today isn't like it was 20/30/40 years ago. Our culture has changed a great deal; teachers have so much more to cope than ABC's in the classroom.
Samir Hasan of San Diego, California Obviously, the top priority of the new president should be to implement a policy of "self determination" in the country of Iraq. A Pro-U.S. Islamic State of Iraq is completely possible. The Iraqi's would welcome this, and stop killing Americans, and a majority of U.S. forces could be pulled out, and a residual force left to assist the new Islamic State with security, to prevent any genocide, etc. from occurring.
Jake Owsley of Boulder, Colorado The next president's priority will be re-establish integrity and accountability in the Executive Branch. In order to do this, the following must occur: --Restore the U.S. as an example of peace, altruism and compassion in the world --Public financing of elections --Withdrawal from NAFTA and WTO --Join Kyoto Treaty --Withdrawal from Iraq by end of 2007 --Single payer health care --Roll back tax cuts for the wealthy and super wealthy (over $200K) --Open up records of Dick Cheney's Energy Task force. --Re-establish dialog with our allies --Re-establish dialog with our enemies; Iran, North Korea, e.g. --Close Guantanamo Bay Prison --Close all secret prisons, CIA and otherwise.
Adolfo Gonzalez-Garcia, M.D. of Miami, Florida To try and solve the Iraq mess in a manner that works the best for the region's stability and our interests. To start working on establishing a national health care system and get rid of the middle man.
Jong Yoo of Houston, Texas After watching the [Democratic] debates and hearing the candidates' goals, I think that a good start to all the different goals can be accomplished in 100 days. The president can go to Europe and other countries in a week or two and mend fences. Other nations will certainly be aware of the election and will already know our intentions. The president can also focus on health care, education, and the military simultaneously. Don't they work like this on a daily basis anyway? A 100 days is over 3 months. As long as you are diligent and not taking a vacation as soon as you get in office, all of these issues can be thoroughly addressed. The next president must be willing to bear the responsibility of picking up the pieces of the last 7-8 years. He/she will have a lot of work, but if he/she succeeds, a place among the greatest presidents will be reserved.
Jeffrey Kress of Old Bridge, New Jersey Make America a good citizen of the global community! We must stop corporate America from dictating ALL of our government policies. Everything, the war in Iraq, our refusal to set and enforce strict pollution standards and emission of greenhouse gases, mandatory pollution and gas mileage standards for the auto industry, upgrading refineries and an endless list of other policy decisions designed "to protect American interests" are merely a smoke screen to permit American corporations to continue to rape and pillage our people, our country and the resources of the planet!
P. Allen of Sierra Vista, California In the first 100 days I would like to see a candidate create REAL immigration reform. There are family members from other countries who have been waiting to legally enter this country for more than 10 years. Amnesty for illegals is unfair to the thousands who are trying to immigrate properly and are waiting sometimes 20 years (the Philippines is an excellent example) or more to enter the right way.
Brian McLaughlin of Coatesville, Pennsylvania The first priority of the new president will probably be to repair all the damage done by the old president.
Daniel Smith of Phoenix, Arizona Of course, the first thing would be to bring our troops home. Next he/she needs to focus on our lacking health care, decaying environment, and declining economy (i.e. gas prices). Furthermore, in the time between these many jobs, the president must speak to the world's leaders and defuse any situations that are now going on; mainly focusing on Russia, Iran, & North Korea. Finally, the president must focus on Darfur and the many other regions of the world where genocide and inhumanity are happening. Doing this will show the world our true "peace-keeping" nature.

The Channel 4 television series 24 Hours in A&E devoted an entire programme to the older people who turned up needing help. The programme’s concept can’t be faulted: it does what it says on the tin, taking you through the ups and downs, the heartache and the humour round the clock in the A & E department of King’s College Hospital. It is always absorbing.
But this episode was poignant for a particular reason. Here came old people who were leading lives quite alien to the nursing staff and doctors: retired, often widowed, often living alone, probably lonely and in need of company. They were more dependent than most on what the state provides by way of income and succour. And here we saw the state at its best, the NHS delivering care as attentively and thoroughly as it would to younger people. It is, of course, what is required of the NHS, but one hears too many anecdotes that suggest it isn’t always so in practice.
Ernest, aged 93, had been knocked down by a hit-and-run driver and was brought in scarcely conscious and very frail. Immediately, he was engulfed by hi-tech equipment and multi-skilled nurses and specialists. There was a mood of efficient tenderness. Ernest was called by his name, and every effort was made towards his recovery – a body scan revealed a head injury and a crushed pelvis, and he was prepared for an operation. But Ernest slipped away. As the consultant said: “There is a time for dying.” They had kept him alive long enough for the family to gather at his bedside.
William, aged 83, had sliced the top off his finger. It needed seven stitches: he bore the pain with fortitude, explaining that before the NHS existed, “people didn’t go to the doctor, cos it cost a shilling every time and they couldn’t afford it”. It’s different now. He knew of someone who went to the surgery simply to get a boil treated. “Why not get some bread and make a poultice?” he exclaimed. I wonder how many of us could make a bread poultice these days. And how many skills that once made us self-reliant are being lost.
I am celebrating 20 years of Pilates: I have been going at eight o’clock every morning twice a week since my late fifties. Back then, no one had heard much about it. “What’s this exercise that rhymes with pirates?” I was asked. But now you can find Pilates centres in all the main cities, and plenty clustered where people have the time and money to care for their own health. William of the cut finger wouldn’t fetch up here. Too costly. Yet he’d still managed to stay fit and active. Not everyone, though, can depend on the right genes to see them into old age. It seems to me there’s no time too early to start making the effort. I began Pilates simply because it was the one exercise that didn’t make me red in the face. I didn’t realise at the time it would keep me going when others are having new hips and knees. I’m sure luck comes into it, too.
At first glance it’s a startling report. Apparently the married and the partnered aren’t sharing their double beds as once they did. Interestingly, they explain that living more separate lives makes their bonds stronger. It’s true, isn’t it, that the intimate proximity of even the most enthralling individual can become routine after a time? That’s besides all the details of snores and farts. The upper classes have always had the space and the taste for separate living. It was in the two-ups and two-downs that people huddled together for warmth. It is only a generation back that children all slept in one bed on one huge feather mattress. So I take it as an indication of affluence giving us choice, rather than the collapse of marriage as we once knew it.

Alongside other changes, the build removed the Start button from the taskbar for the first time since its debut on Windows 95; according to Windows manager Chaitanya Sareen, the Start button was removed to reflect their view that on Windows 8, the desktop was an "app" itself, and not the primary interface of the operating system. Windows president Steven Sinofsky said more than 100,000 changes had been made since the developer version went public.

By. Mark Prigg. Drinking frequently could improve your social standing, researchers have claimed. Researchers studied the drinking habits of people in Toronto, and said that in men in particular, heavy drinking appeared to earn them more respect. For women, any drinking seemed to result in a higher social status. Jon Hamm's character Don Draper in Mad Men famously drinks his way through the series. Now researchers say drinking frequently could improve your social standing, researchers have claimed. Drinking in excess kills about 88,000 people a year, according to the CDC. It says one in six U.S. adults binge drinks about four times a month, consuming about eight drinks per binge. Although college students commonly binge drink, 70% of binge drinking episodes involve adults age 26 years and older. Binge drinking is associated with many health problems, including an increased risk of injuries, alcohol poisoning, STDs, unwanted pregnancies and liver disease. Drinking too much, including binge drinking, cost the United States $223.5 billion in 2006, or $1.90 a drink, from losses in productivity, health care, crime, and other expenses. Dr. Tara Dumas, a postdoctoral fellow at Canada's Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, studied 357 young adults in Ontario between May and July 2012. They asked participants how much binge episodes - which included the number of drinks consumed, and how often these episodes happened - influenced their opinions of friends. 'We used field methodology to recruit young adults' natural drinking groups,' the team wrote in a paper be published in the October issue of Addictive Behaviors. 'For men, more frequent heavy drinking was related to higher peer-nominated status. 'For women, more drinking in general was related to higher peer-nominated status.' The team so found that during binge drinking episodes, those who could drink the most emerged with the highest social status. 'For women, more drinking in general was related to higher peer-nominated status,' the researchers said. 'More consumption during heaviest drinking occasion also predicted higher status. 'Further, for both men and women, drinking more than one's peers during one's heaviest drinking occasion in the past year was also associated with higher status.' The team say the researcher could influence alcohol awareness programmes. 'These findings suggest that higher social status is associated with riskier drinking patterns and have important implications for prevention programming.

What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
Most cases of herniated disc are in the lower back. You will notice a sharp or dull pain that may improve after a few days. Your pain may go away in your back but move into your leg. You may not experience any pain with a herniated disc, but your doctor may have trouble diagnosing your condition if you don’t. As the herniated disc slides between your vertebrae, it can press down on your nerves. This may cause pain in your leg, all the way down to your foot. You may feel pain just in your leg or all the way from your back down to your leg. This is called sciatica. Because the herniated disc may press on your nerves, it could cause symptoms in your leg and foot. These symptoms usually occur quickly after the initial injury happens and can worsen if left untreated. Most patients will not have bladder or bowel issues, but they can be caused by a herniated disc pressing on the nerves that manage your bladder or bowel. If this happens, you should seek emergency care. A doctor can help alleviate your symptoms. While anyone can suffer a herniated disc, some people are at an increased risk. Being aware of your risk factors can give you a better idea about whether or not your symptoms could be a herniated disc. You may be at a higher risk if you: Are overweight or obese. Are a smoker. Lift with your back instead of your legs. Twist your back while lifting. Have a physically demanding job that puts pressure on your spine. Drive often. Live a sedentary lifestyle. Are a man between the ages of 30 and 50.
Summary: | Pay attention to pain in your lower back. Watch for pain that moves from your lower back down your leg. Check for numbness, weakness, or tingling in your leg or foot.

Bork Hearings Resurface as Impediment to Specter
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 - Many liberal women have never forgiven Senator Arlen Specter for his pointed questioning of Prof. Anita F. Hill, whose accusations of sexual harassment against Judge Clarence Thomas, then a Supreme Court nominee, riveted the nation. But conservatives have never forgiven him for crossing party lines to defeat another Supreme Court nominee, Judge Robert H. Bork.
Now, 17 years later, those conservatives are about to exact their revenge. Emboldened by their role in re-electing President Bush, conservatives are making Mr. Specter - whose brusque independence has earned him the nickname Snarlin' Arlen on Capitol Hill - a test case of their political power. As they try to keep Mr. Specter, a centrist Pennsylvania Republican who supports abortion rights, from heading the Senate Judiciary Committee, they are demanding a steep concession: support for changing a century-old Senate rule that permits judicial nominations to be blocked by filibuster.
"I would be shocked if conservatives don't extract a pound of flesh from Senator Specter," said Richard A. Viguerie, the Republican consultant, who is circulating strategy memos on the issue. He added, "Republicans have long memories. We'll never forget what he did to Judge Bork."
Mr. Specter, a former prosecutor whose sharp legal mind brings him respect, if not affection, from colleagues, is choosing his words carefully. In an interview, he promised to consider all judicial nominees within 30 days. But he did not commit to a rule change, saying only that filibusters were "an unwise practice."
Asked if he fears the chairmanship is slipping from his grasp, the senator replied with characteristic dryness. "Fear," Mr. Specter said, "is not in my lexicon. I'm concerned that it may be."
Conservatives say he ought to be. On Wednesday, James C. Dobson, the founder of Focus on the Family, used his nationwide radio show, which reaches seven million listeners, to deliver an anti-Specter message. In it, Tom Minnery, an official of Focus on the Family, deemed Mr. Specter "an unacceptable candidate."
The White House, offering only lukewarm support, says the matter is best left up to the Senate, where the Judiciary Committee will hold great sway over Mr. Specter's fate. One influential conservative Republican on the panel, Senator John Cornyn of Texas, said Wednesday that Mr. Specter had asked for a committee meeting. "I do think it's going to require some clarification and some common understanding of his position before we can lay this matter to rest,'' Mr. Cornyn said.
But other committee Republicans are mostly mum. They include Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, who was nominated for a federal judgeship in 1985 - only to find himself opposed by Mr. Specter.
After 24 years in the Senate, and a lifetime of artfully straddling the divide between left and right, Mr. Specter, a one-time Democrat who switched parties nearly 40 years ago, is adept at working his way out of tight spots.
During President Bill Clinton's impeachment trial, he invoked Scottish law so that he could vote "not proven" - thus avoiding a pronouncement of guilt or innocence. His harsh treatment of Professor Hill in 1991 helped make 1992 the so-called Year of the Woman in politics, and it nearly cost him his Senate seat.
"He's a survivor," said Senator Tom Harkin, Democrat of Iowa, a close Senate friend. "He knows how to fight."
Most recently, Mr. Specter survived a primary challenge from Representative Patrick J. Toomey, but only after Mr. Bush came to his rescue. Judgeships were an issue. So conservatives were irked when, at his post-victory news conference, Mr. Specter said the Senate would be unlikely to approve "judges who would change the right of a woman to choose."
Mr. Viguerie said the remark was evidence that Mr. Specter's independent streak simply went too far. "There's an old saying that an honest politician that, once having been bought, stays bought," he said. "And Specter, no matter what you do for him, it's like he never talked to you, like he never had any kind of arrangement, nothing."
Even Judge Bork, who backed Mr. Toomey in the primary, has weighed in. "I think he is generally a bit shifty," he said of Mr. Specter.
But what some view as shifty, others view as having backbone.

Article: Most tub and shower pipes are small and easiest to unclog with a small, hand-held auger. These augers are easy to handle and flexible, which makes them great for pushing through narrow and angled pipes. These are available at all home improvement and hardware stores. There are two types of small plumbing snakes: drain augers, which are common small augers that have a round compartment with a long coil of wire in it, and closet augers, which are shorter and mostly used by plumbers to unclog toilets. A closet auger does not have the round compartment on it and so the wire length is much shorter. Choose a drain auger when getting a clog out of your tub or shower drain. In addition to an auger, you’ll need supplies to open up the drain and to clean up any water or debris that is in the drain. Get a bucket, screwdriver, wrench, and rubber cleaning gloves and put them near the drain. Also, have a few old towels around to clean up dirty water. Many tub and shower drains have built in stoppers and screens that need to be removed in order to access the pipes. Unscrew any cover plates and disassemble any stoppers in your way. Every tub and shower stopper is different and thus comes apart differently. If you can’t figure out how to take your stopper apart, do some internet research about your specific type of stopper. When inserting a snake, push the snake wire into the drain while simultaneously turning the handle on the back of the tool. This will turn the wire as you push, allowing it to move further down the drain through any clogs. Some snakes only turn when the wire is in a locked position and can't be advanced. If this is the case with your snake, push the wire in a few inches and then lock the tool and rotate the wire. Repeat this by unlocking the wire, pushing it in a few more inches and then relocking and turning it. As you lower the cable, move your grip down until it's about 3 inches (7.6 cm) from the drain opening. This close grip allows you to control your motions and feel for the clog easier. Once the end of the snake hits the clog, turning the handle will push the hook at the end of the cable into the clog so that it can be grabbed. There is no need to turn the handle quickly. Slow and steady pressure on the clog will work most effectively. As you pull the cable out, turn the handle on the snake so that the cable rotates. This will help the cable move around bends in the pipe. Pulling the cable out of the pipe slowly will help to keep the clog hooked to the end. Run the water through the drain. It may take a few seconds to wash away the remnants of the clog, but it should begin to flow quickly. If the drain is still obstructed, snake the drain one more time. Insert the wire into the pipe once again and spend more time trying to hook the clog to remove it. If water still won't run through the drain after you've snaked it several times, it may have been pushed further down into your pipes. In this case, it's time to call the plumber.
What is a summary? | Choose a small auger made to snake tub and shower drains. Gather the additional supplies you'll need. Remove any drain stoppers and screens in the drain. Insert the auger wire into the drain. Turn the handle on the snake to break up the clog. Pull the snake out of the drain slowly. Determine if the drain is still clogged by pouring water down it. | 6 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

Simferopol, Ukraine (CNN) -- There has been lots of talk by officials about Ukraine, specifically about the disputed region of Crimea and it possibly joining Russia. There have been threats of sanctions and other punitive measures against Moscow, for allegedly supporting this breakaway from Ukraine, in spirit and in action. Troops -- some uniformed, some not -- have been seen in and around the region, raising worries, even if no one has been shot. But could something big and decisive be coming soon? For as tense as things are now, the fear is that things could deteriorate quickly and bloodily. The trigger may be Sunday's vote in Crimea, where voters can formally set the stage for its secession from Ukraine and becoming part of Russia.

Samuel Luther "Big Sam" Thompson (March 5, 1860 - November 7, 1922) was an American professional baseball player from 1884 to 1898 and with a brief comeback in 1906. At 6 feet, 2 inches, the Indiana native was one of the larger players of his day and was known for his prominent handlebar mustache. He played as a right fielder in Major League Baseball for the Detroit Wolverines (1885-88), Philadelphia Phillies (1889-1898) and Detroit Tigers (1906). He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974.
At age 36, Thompson played his last full season of professional baseball in 1896. His average dipped to .298, but he still managed to collect 100 RBIs. Thompson's throwing remained strong as he turned in one of the finest defensive performances of his career. Despite appearing in only 119 games in the outfield, he led the league in outfield fielding percentage (.974), outfield assists (28), and double plays from the outfield (11). One sports writer noted that, even at age 38, Thompson "possessed an arm that the fastest sprinters in the big league had a lot of respect for." As a team, however, the Phillies fell to eighth place in the National League with a 62-68 record. In 1897, at age 37, Thompson was sidelined by pain and appeared in only three games. Some accounts suggest that Thompson's absence from the lineup may have also been the result of his not getting along with Philadelphia's new manager George Stallings. Without Thompson, the 1897 Phillies dropped to 10th place with a 55-77 record. Before the 1898 season began, Thompson gave an interview in which he questioned the Phillies chances to compete in 1898: "What are the Phillies' chances this season? Six clubs, Cincinnati Baltimore, Boston, New York, Cleveland and Brooklyn are bound to beat them, and they will have to fight hard to lead the second division, and I very much doubt if they can do that." Though his loyalty to the Phillies was questioned, Thompson did return in 1898 and was batting .349 with 15 RBIs, five doubles, three triples, a home run after 14 games. However, Thompson opted to leave the team in May 1898 and return to his home in Detroit. His sudden retirement has been attributed to a "combination of homesickness and chronic back pain." Other accounts indicate that continued tension with manager Stallings contributed to Thompson's decision to retire.

Background: Johnny Young (born Johnny Benjamin de Jong; 12 March 1947) is a Dutch Australian singer, composer, record producer, disc jockey, television producer and host. Originally from the Netherlands, his family settled in Perth, Western Australia in the early 1950s. Young had a career in the 1960s as a pop singer and had a number one hit with the double-A-side, "Step Back" and "Cara-lyn" in 1966, and his profile was enhanced by a concurrent stint as host of the TV pop program The Go!!
Context: In 1970, Young formed a production company with Kevin Lewis (former Festival Records executive), Lewis-Young Productions, which developed the pop music television show Happening '70 - hosted by Wyllie - for the ATV-0 channel, it was subsequently followed by Happening '71 and Happening '72. Lewis-Young Productions also developed Young Talent Time from April 1971, a children's variety show and talent quest with Young as host. Regular cast members were known as the Young Talent Team, the show was a launching pad for several Australian performers including Jamie Redfern, Debra Byrne, Dannii Minogue and Tina Arena. The directors were Garry Dunstan and Terry Higgins. Each episode typically ended with Young and the team singing "All My Loving" as a lullaby. Young established the Johnny Young Talent School for performance arts in 1979, some of its students became contestants and regulars on Young Talent Time. 2004 Australian Idol runner-up Anthony Callea trained with the school, as did the 2008 winner, Wes Carr. As well as producing the television series, Lewis-Young Productions distributed related merchandise including records on their own label (L&Y), books and magazines, a board game and a set of chewing gum cards. In 1972, Caravan Holiday, a short film, featured the original six Young Talent Team members plus two recently recruited new members, Greg Mills(later to be musical director in last years of YTT) and Julie Ryles (who died in early 2011) with cameos by pop star Johnny Farnham and long term judge Evie Hayes. Young was cast in multiple cameo roles as a service station attendant, farmer, speed boat attendant and camping park manager. In 1989, Ten Network (formerly ATV-0), axed Young Talent Time quoting poor ratings against the popular variety series Hey Hey Its Saturday. Young had committed to building his own television studios to film Young Talent Time and was forced to sell his family home to finance the debts. During the year his stepfather died and, with his mother, he tracked down his biological father. Soon after his mother also died, and his marriage was in trouble. On 9 March 1990, Young was inducted into the TV Week Logie Awards' Hall of Fame for "an outstanding and sustained contribution to Australian television." From 24 October 2006, weekly magazine New Idea featured articles on Byrne's autobiography, Not Quite Ripe, which alleged that from the age of 12 she was introduced to sex, drugs and alcohol on Young Talent Time. The claims were vigorously denied by Young, he stated that Byrne was already 14 when she started and that drugs were not available on set, "Any drug-taking Debra did, she certainly didn't do it on our show." He said no-one on the show was aware of her affair with "Michael", a boom operator ten years her senior. According to Byrne the pair had run off together for a weekend when she was 15. A producer for the show had "Michael" replaced as boom operator. Byrne also claimed that her parents knew of her relationship with "Michael". In 2009, Young indicated that he was in talks with Network Ten to create an updated version of Young Talent Time. The new series aired on Network Ten from 22 January to 4 May 2012 and was hosted by Rob Mills, with Young serving as executive producer and judge.

The Crimean-Nogai raids were slave raids carried out by the Khanate of Crimea and by the Nogai Horde into the region of Rus' then controlled by the Grand Duchy of Moscow , by the Tsardom of Russia , by the Russian Empire and by the Grand Duchy of Lithuania . These raids began after Crimea became independent about 1441 and lasted until the peninsula came under Russian control in 1774. Their main purpose was the capture of slaves, most of whom were exported to the Ottoman slave markets in Constantinople or elsewhere in the Middle East. The raids were an important drain of the human and economic resources of eastern Europe. They largely inhabited the settlement of the "Wild Fields" - the steppe and forest-steppe land which extends from a hundred or so miles south of Moscow to the Black Sea and which now contains most of the Russian and Ukrainian population. The raids also played an important role in the development of the Cossacks. Estimates of the number of people involved vary: according to Alan W. Fisher the number of people deported from the Slavic lands on both sides of the border during the 14th to 17th centuries was about 3 million. Michael Khodarkhovsky estimates that 150,000 to 200,000 people were abducted from Russia in the first 50 years of the 17th century. The first major Tatar raid for slaves occured in 1468 and was directed into Galicia. Crimean Khan Devlet I Giray even managed to burn down Moscow during the 1571 campaign. The last raid into Hungary by the Crimean Tatars took place in 1717. In 1769 a last major Tatar raid, which took place during the Russo-Turkish War, saw the capture of 20,000 slaves.

After ending nine empty years with the FA Cup in May, here was their first Shield win since the Invincibles era and the man responsible for transporting the trophy across North London seemed at odds with its heavy wooden travelling box as he left the premises.
