'It was a lost cause': Air Force gives up fight to stop water at Offutt; one-third of base is flooded
The headquarters of U.S. Strategic Command, located on a hill, has not suffered any flooding. Many of its senior leaders are participating in a worldwide military exercise called Global Lightning, which began Wednesday, though the command has reduced its force to "minimum manning" levels. StratCom's new $1.3 billion headquarters also has suffered no damage.
The base's commissary, shopping exchange, chapel, and all base housing is out of the flood zone, and no on-base residents have been evacuated, Blake said.
"Half the base is in crisis mode, and half the base everything is normal," she said.
Sandbagging and other defensive efforts began at noon Saturday, said Lt. Col. Vance Goodfellow, deputy commander of the 55th Wing's Mission Support Group.
"It was a 24/7 effort," he said.
He said floodwaters first breached the base's eastern fence, about one mile from the river, at 9 a.m. Saturday. By late afternoon, water was pouring up out of storm and sewage drains and had reached critical buildings south of the single runway, a half-mile from the eastern boundary.
"The water came in and overtook us."
Carney: Durable Goods Manufacturing Job Openings Up 17% Despite Steel and Aluminum Tariffs
It has been one year since the Trump administration began to roll out tariffs on steel and aluminum. And the evidence is clear that the tariffs have not come at a cost of American jobs.
The new tariffs have made basic materials for the construction of goods in the United States more expensive. Steel and aluminum prices are up sharply compared with the pre-tariff era, but they have been coming down in recent months as U.S. factories have ramped up production.
When Trump announced the tariffs, critics immediately said that while they might help steel and aluminum producers, they would be a net loser for America because metals-using manufacturing employs far more Americans than metals-producing. The higher price would cause employment in metals-using manufacturing to contract, the critics charged.But that hasn’t happened. Over the past year, employment in metals-using manufacturing is up. The strongest indication of this came on Friday, when the government released the data on job openings for January. As the year opened, durable goods manufacturing–the category that is most metals focused–posted 305,000 job openings. That’s nearly a 17 percent gain from last year, before the tariffs.
For several months, as jobs data for metals-using industry continued to show strength, critics of the tariffs charged that the costs were only delayed. One day, real soon, the tariffs would kick in and start killing jobs.
We’re now far enough into the tariff-era to render a decisive judgment: the critics were wrong. The metals tariffs have not hurt American workers.

LA Teacher Sues Union Over Forced Dues
January 23, 2019 12:00 pm
The Los Angeles teachers union may have just ended a lengthy strike over a contract dispute, but could soon find itself back in court as a local educator filed a class action suit over forced dues.
A public school teacher has filed a class action suit against United Teachers Los Angeles, alleging that it illegally subjected her to a strict window period for resigning her membership. The teacher attempted to cut off her dues payments following the Supreme Court's Janus ruling, which declared mandatory fee payments unconstitutional, but was rebuffed by union officials. The suit argues that the "restrictive" resignation policy violates the First Amendment rights of teachers.

Historic Saint-Sulpice church burns in Paris
Paris’ historical Saint-Sulpice church has been damaged by the blaze which was bursting though the doors of the 19th Century building. The cause of the fire is unknown.
Firefighters were sent to deal with the blaze early on Sunday afternoon, Le Parisien reported. According to the newspaper, the wooden doors were on fire, and a stained glass window was damaged. The rest of the damage “seems minor,” the daily paper said.
Dramatic footage shared on social media shows the interior of the church in flames, with smoke billowing up to its arched roof. From outside, video footage shows firefighters hosing down the burning doors.
