Mar 1 - Euro zone manufacturing activity appeared no closer to recovery last month, when a dire performance in France offset a return to growth in Germany, business surveys showed. Ciara Sutton reports. |
47.9 is today's daily digit in Europe. It's the key figure in Markit's latest survey of euro zone manufacturing. It's again below the 50 level that signifies growth, and it's been like that for over a year and a half. Poor manufacturing activity in France offset a return to growth in Germany. The euro zone's second-big... |
Clippers Make Point in Deal With Hawks : NBA draft: Team trades No. 9 pick and second-round selections in 1993 and 1994 for guard Doc Rivers. Club then takes LeRon Ellis of Syracuse with 22nd pick. |
Draft day became a labor day for the Clippers, who Wednesday made seven personnel decisions and finally traded for a veteran point guard, a move months in the making. An expected three-way deal with Atlanta and Denver broke down when the Clippers pulled out rather than wait until the draft started at about 4:30 p.m. PD... |

With the shot clock winding down and the Phoenix Suns hot on the comeback trail, Clipper point guard Jeff McInnis knew what he had to do.

With two minutes to go and the Denver Nuggets holding a 16-point lead, not a single fan headed for the exits at McNichols Arena. Some were prepared to witness history--a rare Denver victory. The rest wanted to see how the home team would blow that advantage, as it had squandered leads all season. The Nuggets held on, w... |
A Fool to Care may not have a concept as linear as some of Boz Scaggs’ other recent albums (2013’s Southern-fried Memphis, the jazz standards on 2003’s But Beautiful and 2008’s Speak Low), but it sure does tell a story. These 12 songs map out a concise history of American soul, with a heavy dose of New Orleans strut — ... |
Backed throughout by a stellar group of studio aces — guitarist Ray Parker Jr., bassist Willie Weeks and drummer Steve Jordan, who also produced the album — Scaggs’ well-worn, textured voice deftly navigates this range of styles. His lone composition on A Fool to Care, the sly blues “Hell to Pay” (“Between the bank boy... |

The Greens say Labor's policy on international carbon permits "passes the buck" and will delay Australia's push to renewables. |
It is projected that Labor and the Greens could together fall short of the 39 votes needed to pass legislation through the upper house. |
An upper house NSW Greens MP writes that he is becoming an independent because he refuses to spend the next term watching partisan politics fail to deliver. |
A brutal assessment of the Greens' campaign in the November state election has found the party didn't give Victorians a compelling reason to vote for the minor party. |
Veteran actor, Justus Esiri, 70, began his final journey home yesterday with a Tribute Night organised in his honour by the Ibinabo Fiberesima led Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN. |
The star-studded event was held at O’Jez open-space bar at the National Stadium, Lagos. The final burial will take place in the late actor’s hometown, Abraka on Friday. |
Sidney Esiri, the deceased’s second son, said a service of songs will be held in honour of his late father in Lagos Tuesday, and will be followed by a mass before the final burial in Delta State. |
“On behalf of the Esiri family, we say thank you to Nollywood for honouring our father. Justus Esiri was a legend and can never be forgotten because he played a vital role for everybody around him,” Sidney, who is popularly known as Dr. Sid said. |
In the words of Kate Henshaw, the industry is not mourning Esiri, but celebrating his life because he left a legacy worthy of emulation behind. |
Prince Ifeanyi Dike, the Chairman, Board of Trustees of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria, AGN, led a prayer session during the event. |
He urged guests to pray that God should ward off death among entertainers. |
The late Esiri died of complications from diabetes in a Lagos hospital. |
Esiri, Member of the Order of the Niger, MON, was famous for his role as the Village Headmaster in the now rested popular television series of the same name. |
Born on 20 November, 1942 in Oria-Abraka, Delta State, Esiri attended Urhobo College, Effurun in the then Bendel State,Warri. He was at the Maximillan University, Munich, German, 1964, Prof. Weners Institute of Engineering, West Berlin, 1967 and the Ahrens School of Performing Arts, 1968. |
Esiri started his acting career in Germany. He was the only Nigerian male artiste performing on stage between 1968 and 1969. He also worked for Voice of Nigeria, German Service as a translator. He was performing on stage in Germany when a delegation from Nigeria invited him home to perform in a government sponsored pro... |

ACT describes the National Party's decision to rule out working with New Zealand First post-election as a "seismic" change on the political landscape. |
National made its stance clear shortly after Winston Peters stood down as foreign affairs minister on Friday over an investigation by the Serious Fraud Office into donations to the party. |
ACT leader Rodney Hide says the move has left Mr Peters powerless and a vote for New Zealand First is now a vote for a fourth-term Labour Government. |
He says Mr Key has put principle before power. |
United Future leader Peter Dunne says it's a brave decision and one which creates opportunities for other minor parties. |
But he says National supporters may be left scratching their heads if Mr Key's call leaves the party on the opposition benches. |
Maori Party MP Hone Harawira on Sunday described Labour as a "coalition corpse" because of its close association with New Zealand First. |
But Labour Party president Mike Williams says he does not believe the investigation into Winston Peters is damaging for Labour, as it's an internal matter for New Zealand First. |
Meanwhile, SFO acting director Gib Beattie says most of the investigation into donations to the New Zealand First party is still to be done. |
A team of four is assessing donations from businessman Sir Robert Jones and the racing industry's Vela family. |
A lawyer for Mr Peters said on Saturday the matter could be wrapped up quickly. |
Mr Beattie doubts this, but cannot say how long the case will take. |
He says he will meet all relevant parties including representatives of the Spencer Trust which handled the money. |
Mr Hide expects the investigation will take months and will hang over the election. He says the nature of the complaint means it will take more than five minutes to resolve. |
The announcement of the investigation was made by the Serious Fraud Office on Thursday. |
In addition, Parliament's Privileges Committee has invited Mr Peters, Brian Henry QC and expatriate businessman Owen Glenn to give evidence next Thursday. |
The committee is considering whether Mr Peters should have declared a $100,000 donation from Mr Glenn towards legal bills in 2005. |
Prime Minister Helen Clark revealed on Thursday that Mr Glenn told her in February that the New Zealand First leader had approached him for money. |
Meanwhile, Labour says Mr Glenn has turned down a request to contribute further to the party. |
Mr Glenn is Labour's biggest donor, giving the party $500,000 before the last election. |
Mr Williams sought further contributions from Mr Glenn in July while on an overseas fundraising trip. |
Mr Williams says although Mr Glenn declined his request, he told him he will consider donating to Labour in the future. |
Mr Williams also says he had nothing to do with discussions between New Zealand First and Mr Glenn. |
He told Morning Report he would have no problem talking to the SFO or the Privileges Committee. |
CAA has tapped agent Joe Machota as the new head of the agency's theater department, replacing longtime topper George Lane, who'll remain on board as an agent. |
Lane, long acknowledged as one of the more powerful legit agents in the business, was the one who launched CAA's legit department when he jumped from William Morris to CAA a decade ago. He's being rotated out of the post, as periodically happens with CAA department heads, but will continue to work on growing the agency... |
In recent years, Machota's tenure at CAA has drawn attention as he's played a role in getting a host of his big-name clients -- including Scarlett Johansson, Jim Parsons, Ricky Martin and Zachary Quinto -- onto the boards, often with notable box office success. A former actor who appeared in the original cast of the Ri... |
Upcoming Broadway stints from CAA talent this season include Ian McKellen, co-starring with Patrick Stewart in a double-bill of "Waiting for Godot" and "No Man's Land," and Michelle Williams, toplining the Roundabout Theater Company's revival of "Cabaret." |
The agency's theater department remains a six-person operation, with Machota heading up a team that includes Lane, Jason Cooper, Corinne Hayoun, Olivier Sultan and Chris Till. |
Currently, about 58,000 New Mexicans have legal access to medical cannabis, according to the New Mexico Department of Health. |
Pain from the knife wound remained intense long after the altercation that Colin Tenorio was involved in at a Santa Fe park in the summer of 2015. |
The 23-year-old from Santo Domingo Pueblo said he was defending himself against an unknown assailant when he suffered a bloody wound to his left arm that required two surgeries. |
Two years later, Tenorio was still in pain. He tried various medical remedies, including the highly addictive oxycodone, but nothing quite worked. In February, after studying the benefits of various strains of medical marijuana, he received a license to legally use it to combat the pain. |
"It calmed me down, relaxed my body," he said. |
The pain diminished. But a new agony awaited: Tenorio couldn't get a job because so many local employers required him to take a drug test as a condition of employment. |
"I figured I could get a job, no problem," he said. "It didn't even come to mind that I would have any trouble. It's not like I smoke (marijuana) to get high. I just didn't know using it would cost me jobs." |
Tenorio's story is not unique, said Jessica Gelay, policy manager for the Drug Policy Alliance of New Mexico. |
"It's a big problem," she said. "Medical cannabis patients should be able to use their medicine like everyone else, but the federal prohibition is extremely problematic. Our state law has no protections for people who are seeking employment." |
Currently, about 58,000 New Mexicans have legal access to medical cannabis, according to the New Mexico Department of Health. These are patients suffering from a number of approved ailments and diseases, including cancer, HIV/AIDS and chronic pain, who benefit from a state law approved in 2007 by both the Legislature a... |
But there are complications for those patients seeking work. Under the federal Controlled Substances Act, cannabis is classified as a Schedule I drug, the same category as heroin and LSD, all considered highly addictive and without medical value. |
Thus, Gelay said, any New Mexico employers that have any ties to the federal government and any entities, such as medical groups, that receive federal funds, likely have drug testing policies in place. |
Other local employers, such as national chain stores, also may have drug test requirements and offer little, if any, flexibility for applicants who legally use medical cannabis. |
Tenorio said he discovered this as he applied for jobs in supermarkets and medical and veterinary offices. |
The situation also has led to at least one court case in New Mexico. Donna Smith, a military veteran who said she was sexually assaulted while in the service and suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, sued Presbyterian Healthcare Services in Albuquerque after it asked her to submit to a urine test. |
The results tested positive for marijuana, and Smith, who was using medical cannabis and had already begun working as a physician assistant, said she was fired. |
She launched a lawsuit against Presbyterian in the summer of 2014. At the time, the company issued a statement saying "the use of medical marijuana is not recognized by federal law and Presbyterian has a mandate under federal law to provide a drug free workplace." |
In the summer of 2015, a state district judge ruled in favor of Presbyterian, leading Smith to tell the Albuquerque Journal, "What's the point of having a medical program at all if it's not compassionate?" |
Efforts to reach Smith for comment were unsuccessful. |
Gelay said she has talked to medical personnel, including nurses, who use medical marijuana and as a result have been ruled out for jobs that require drug testing. |
Some medical institutions, like Santa Fe's Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, will hire workers with medical cannabis licenses, hospital spokesman Arturo Delgado said. |
While the hospital conducts both pre-employment and random drug tests, "We do honor medical marijuana cards if they have been issued by a physician," he said. |
Still, where federal law is concerned, it's an uphill battle for those using medical marijuana, said state Sen. Cisco McSorley, an Albuquerque Democrat who carried the bill that created the Medical Cannabis Program. |
"The biggest part of this problem is where certain employers are bound by federal law," he said. "There's nothing we can do about that as a state. Otherwise, it's almost always employers who have set boundaries for what employees have to do to get the job." |
Educating employers that aren't tied to federal constraints might help, he said. For example, "If it's something like a desk job and the employer has other employees using medicine that has a physical impact on them but still allows them to function," then efforts to convince that employer to change policy on medical m... |
Gelay, Tenorio and Paul Armentano, deputy director of the Washington, D.C.-based National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, all say states can and should do more to protect the civil rights of medical marijuana patients when it comes to removing barriers to employment. |
"People should never have to choose between their medication and their employment," Armentano said in an email. |

Other states, he said, including Arizona, have laws that prohibit employers from discriminating against workers on the basis of their status as a medical marijuana patient, arguing a positive drug test in itself does not indicate impairment. However, these states still exempt employers who are required to follow federa... |
Gelay said there is hope for New Mexicans caught in this situation. A recent medical cannabis task force report suggested, among other measures, the state protect the civil rights of medical marijuana users when it comes to employment, housing and schooling. |
Gov.-elect Michelle Lujan Grisham's transition director, Dominic Gabello, said in an email last week that she "will direct a legal review of the matter and work with all stakeholders — employers, law enforcement, health care providers and patients — toward a solution that benefits all parties and protects patients." |
The possibility of reform is good news for Tenorio, who, after working for some months as a server in a brewery, just landed a job as a technician in a Santa Fe-based vision care center that does not conduct drug tests for employees. |
He said his monthslong search for a job left him depressed. |
"I thought I was going to end up working in the fast-food business," he said. "It kind of sucked. I felt I was in a Catch-22 situation. |
"Having a medical marijuana license shouldn't shield you from other drug testing," he said. "But I still think there should be an exception for medical marijuana. A lot of us need it to function." |
