Multi-Issues...

The U.S. Navy is preparing to house as many as 25,000 migrants at remote Navy facilities in California, Arizona, and Alabama, according to a U.S. official with knowledge of an internal Navy document. 

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) requested that Pentagon be prepared to house up to 20,000 unaccompanied migrant children at U.S. military bases, but it is unclear if the facilities identified by the Navy in the internal memo would meet HHS needs. 
The Navy could spend $233 million to construct and operate a facility that could house 25,000 migrants for up to six months.  
Kids will be sent to the boarder if USA will grant them status. So expect millions.

Crying...

The picture of a Honduran girl crying as she and her mother are detained in Texas has grabbed worldwide attention and come to symbolize the intense debate about separating children from their parents. Time magazine put the young girl on this week's cover, but the Border Patrol agent involved in the dramatic scene says the photo might be a little misleading. 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed to CBS News the mother and daughter are being housed together at a facility in Texas and her immigration proceedings are ongoing. 

Coffee...

Coffee can do more than just keep people awake for the day, studies have shown.
Caffeine could help with the repair of cells lining blood vessels, called endothelial cells, researchers at the Heinrich-Heine-University and IUF-Leibniz Research Institute for Environmental Medicine in Duesseldorf, Germany, set out to explore some of the reasons. 
The study was conducted on mice and cells cultured from humans, on the role of caffeine on a cell-cycle inhibitor gene known as mitochondrial p27. The study used a standard four cups of coffee per day and found that this moderate coffee consumption improved outcomes for mice with prior heart attacks. 
The gene p27 has already been shown to have a role in cancer. Caffeine acts on this protein, allowing cells to get more energy and more blood flow throughout the heart and that means fewer heart cells dying.

A pilot on a Saudi Arabian royal family jet that landed in Maine was arrested on a warrant for theft out of Florida.

Prosecutors say Marcin Urbanski was taken into custody during a stop in Bangor as the plane was headed to Los Angeles. Urbanski was wanted for accepting $9,000 to help a Florida resident become a licensed pilot, but never providing the services.

The Department of Homeland Security assisted local police in taking the Polish citizen into custody because he was not permitted to be in the U.S.
A different game now. 

Fraternization...

Intel CEO Brian Krzanich resigned after the company learned of what it called a past, consensual relationship with an employee.
Intel said the relationship was in violation of the company's non-fraternization policy, which applies to all managers. Spokesman William Moss said Intel has had the policy in place for "many years." He declined to comment further.

Israeli prosecutors charged the wife of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with misusing over $100,000 in public funds to order lavish meals from some of the country's most famous chefs. 

While the prime minister was not directly implicated in the case, the indictment against Sara Netanyahu threatens to embarrass the long-serving leader and brings back attention to his own legal problems.
Oh no, Not Sara.

Distasteful...

Burger King has apologized for an online ad offering burgers to Russian women who get impregnated by soccer players during the World Cup
The promotion on VK -- a local rival of Facebook -- suggested Russia could benefit from some good "football genes."
"As part of its social responsibility (campaign), Burger King is offering a reward to women who get impregnated by football stars," said Burger King.
The ad appeared to be ineptly trying to poke fun at an inflammatory statement by a lawmakers who urged women not to have sex with foreign fans.

Distasteful indeed.

Unaccompanied...

This is a copy or imitation of the land mark painting by Norman Rockwell of the Supreme Court decision in the Sixties prohibit school segregation. The four Marshall is protecting a young black girl on her way to school against protestors.

Time repeat itself. These young kids brought to major difficulties by their parents by sending them to the boarder, the greatest kindergarten known as the USA.

Nothing is new here...
