Question: Catalan President Carles Puigdemont  said  he  favored mediation to find a way out of the crisis but that Spainâs central government had rejected this. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoyâs government responded by calling on Catalonia to âreturn to the path of lawâ first before any negotiations.
 Puigdemont  told the BBC  he  would ask the regionâs parliament to declare independence following the referendum  which Spainâs government and constitutional court say was illegal and in which only a minority of Catalans voted.
In a televised address on Wednesday night   Puigdemont  said: âThis moment calls for mediation. We have received various offers in the last hours and we will receive more.â
Without specifically mentioning plans for an independence declaration   he  added: âI am sure that in the next few days we will show the best of our country when the institutions of Catalonia will have to apply the results of the referendum.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoyâs government replied that  Puigdemont  had wasted an opportunity to put Catalonia back on a legal course. âIf  Mr. Puigdemont  wants to talk or negotiate  or wants to send mediators   he  knows perfectly well what  he  must do first: Return to the path of the law â it said in a statement.
 Puigdemont  criticized Spainâs King Felipe VI who on Tuesday lambasted the âirresponsible behaviorâ of the Catalan leaders.
 He  said  the king  had disappointed many people in Catalonia by failing to call for dialogue and  he  accused King Felipe of endorsing the policies of Rajoy  which  he  said had been âcatastrophicâ for Catalonia.

Answer: Catalonia moves to declare independence from Spain on Monday


Question: Mann said he was gratified by the findings  the second report from Penn State to clear him. An earlier report had exonerated him of related charges that he suppressed or falsified data  destroyed e-mail and misused confidential information.
 The new report did criticize him on a minor point  saying that he had occasionally forwarded to colleagues copies of unpublished manuscripts without the explicit permission of their authors.
 The allegations arose after private e-mail messages between Mann and other scientists were purloined from a computer at the University of East Anglia  in Britain  and posted on the Internet. In one  a British researcher called a data-adjustment procedure Mann used a "trick."
 The e-mail messages led climate-change skeptics to accuse mainstream researchers  including Mann  of deliberately manipulating the findings of climate science in order to strengthen their case that human activity is causing the earth to warm up.
 "I'm aware  and many researchers now are keenly aware  of the depths to which the climate-change disinformation movement is willing to sink  to the point where they're willing to criminally break into a university server and steal people's personal e-mail messages " Mann said in an interview.
 "It's no surprise that it's a whitewash of Mann's misconduct  because it was designed to be a whitewash " said Myron Ebell  director of energy and global warming policy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute  a Washington advocacy group. He accused the panel of failing to interview important witnesses.
 The panel did not try to vet the accuracy of the science published by Mann  including a famous finding that the temperature of the earth had jumped recently  compared with past climate inferred from indicators like tree rings. Instead  it examined his methodology -- his analytical techniques  his willingness to share data with those skeptical of his findings and the like. The panel unanimously found his approach "well within the range of accepted practices."
 Mann remains under investigation by the attorney general of Virginia for research he did at the University of Virginia.

Fire and smoke billow up near Fillmore Thursday afternoon as a helicopter makes a drop.  Cal Fire engineer Cory Iverson  died at about 9:30 a.m. while battling a flare-up of the Thomas Fire. (Photo: JUAN CARLO/THE STAR)
That's according to a preliminary report recently released by the state agency. It details the chain of events from Dec. 14  when  Cory Iverson   32  died in the blaze. The report also lists safety issues for review.
 Iverson  who had worked for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) since 2009   had responded to help battle the Ventura County blaze as part of a fire engine strike team out of the agency's San Diego unit.
The fire  which has now burned 440 square miles in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties  has not yet been fully contained. Two people  a woman evacuating the fire and  Iverson   died and 1 063 structures were destroyed.
Four firefighters were able to retreat up an escape route and were uninjured  the preliminary report says.  Iverson   however  became trapped while trying to put out the flames and was killed.

Autopsy results showed  he  died from burns and smoke inhalation. No other injuries were reported.
The steep terrain  heavy vegetation and hazardous weather conditions such as erratic winds and low humidity â all which were present when  Iverson  died â contribute to that extreme fire behavior  the report states.
Before  Iverson  and the team began their 24-hour shift two safety briefings were held  according to the report.
The crew was in the second half of their shift when  Iverson  became trapped. They worked from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Dec. 13 mopping up flames that had gone over a fire line on a ridge southwest of an avocado orchard  the report states.
When  Iverson  and the four other firefighters in  his  strike team began working that day fire intensity was described as low and the upslope wind was pushing the smoke toward the west.
They each carried 300 feet of hose.  Iverson  also carried a scraping tool. As they started  the fire backed up to the dozer line  the report says.
As they worked  spot fires flared up. One started burning in front of  Iverson   and as  he  worked to put it out with a tool  a second one was reported nearby.
 Iverson  dropped some of the hose from  his  pack and went to put out the second spot fire. When  he  got there  it erupted.
With spot fires growing fast  firefighters' hoses did little to quell the flames.  Iverson  called in a request for air support. That was  his  last confirmed radio transmission  the report says.
