Qbkk Bill Clinton on how Democrats should handle criticism of the health care law
WASHINGTON 鈥?Hillary Clinton generally avoided direct criticism of Wall Street as she examined the causes and responses to the financial meltdown during a series of paid speeches to Goldman Sachs, according to transcripts disclosed by WikiLeaks.Three transcripts released Saturday as part of the hack of her campaign chairman   emails did not contain any new bombshells showing she was unduly influenced by contributions from the banking industry, as her primary rival Bernie Sanders had suggested. Still, her soft-handed approach in the speeches was likely to act as a reminder to liberals in the party of their concerns that the Democratic presidential nominee is too close to Wall Street to be an effective check on its excesses if elected.In October 2013, the transcripts show, Clinton told bankers she had great relations and worked closely with Wall Street as New York   senator, and said the jury is still out on whether the Dodd-F stanley cup rank financial reforms put in place after the financial crisis had been the right approach. She said more openness from the start could have prevented the uproar on Wall Street over those refor stanley cup ms.What happened, how did it happen, how do we prevent it from happening  You guys help us figure it out, and let   make sure that we do it right this time,  stanley cup she said.Working to relate her speech to her audience, Clinton in one speech likened her experience as secretary of state to business and finance, sayin Evvs U.S. tries to target asylum-seeker backlog by reviewing newer cases first

Most of the oil rigs were shut down or destroyed by the civil war. The fighting that killed tens of thousands of people has also devastated the economy and sent prices for everyday items soaring.Oil was central to South Sudan   potential when it won independence from Sudan in 2011. In the seven years before the civil war began, oil brought in more than $13 billion in revenue, according to the finance ministry.South Sudan   government is optimistic about the resumed production, even attributing the peace deal s

WASHINGTON 鈥?Six months after the Pentagon ordered all combat jobs open to women, seven female Marines are either serving in those posts or wa adidas campus iting to serve, and 167 are performing noncombat duties in front-line units stanley cup , according to new data obtained by The Associated Press.The numbers underscore the difficulty of integrating women into the demanding jobs, and reflect the small number of women who want to be combat Marines and can pass the new tough physical standards required to qualify. So far this year those standards have weeded out most female hopefuls and have also disqualified some men.Six out of seven female recruits 鈥?and 40 out of about 1,500 male recruits 鈥?failed to pass the new regimen of pull-ups, ammunition-can lifts, a 3-mile run and combat maneuvers required to move on in training for combat jobs, according to the data.Failing the tests, taken about 45 days into basic training, forces recruits into less physically demanding Marine jobs.The high failure rate for women recruits, however, raises questions about how well integration can work, including in Marine infantry units where troops routinely slog for miles carrying packs weighed down with artillery shells and ammunition, and at any moment must be able to scale walls, dig in and fight in close combat.The new standards are a product of the Pentagon   decision to allow women to compete for front-line jobs, including infantry, artillery and other combat posts.
