NEW YORK (AP) — Tensions between public officials and the press are hardly unusual. To a large extent, it's baked into their respective roles. What's rare in a democratic society is a police raid on a news organization's office or the home of its owner. So when that happened late last week, it attracted the sort of national attention that the town of Marion, Kansas, is hardly used to. The Marion Police Department took computers and cellphones from the office of the Marion County Record newspaper on Friday, and also entered the home of Eric Meyer, publisher and editor.

Irish families love their stories and none is more poignant than the tale of people who left their home for a new life, overseas.  When Patrick Lalley (73) arrived in County Mayo with his son John (44) to research their family history, even they were surprised at how quickly they tracked down a relative. John went down to the bar of a Ballina hotel they were staying in and asked a group of men drinking there if they knew any Lalleys. It turned out someone did and could even provide a cell phone number.

Scientists reveal new plant cell walls can have significantly different mechanical properties compared to surrounding parental cell walls, enabling cells to change their local shape and influence the growth of plant organs. This is the first time that scientists have related mechanics to cell wall "age" and was only made possible through a new method that follows the same cells over time and through successive rounds of division. The Cambridge researchers were able to see new walls forming and then measure their mechanical properties.

The main objective of this workshop is to incorporate teachers' salaries and allowances in the budget as it has not been included in previous budgets. The Teaching Service Commission (TSC) has noticed that the annual budgets only encompass teachers' salaries but not their allowances, which can lead to financial overflows. Therefore, the workshop aims to minimize such overflows, according to TSC Commissioner Operations, Mike Maini Ugaia. The TSC Chairman, Samson Wangihomie, expressed hope that this workshop would capture all the personnel emoluments, including allowances, leave, and the budget framework for the provinces.
