Question: Without suggesting a new path toward Mideast peace  Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton expressed frustration Friday with the Israel-Palestinian impasse while insisting the Obama administration will "not lose hope."
 She said the U.S. will keep pressing for a solution  and she called on Israelis and Palestinians to set aside their differences.
 "It is no secret that the parties have a long way to go and that they have not yet made the difficult decisions that peace requires " she said in a dinner speech at the Saban Forum  a Mideast policy seminar sponsored by the Brookings Institution think tank. "And like many of you  I regret that we have not gotten farther  faster."
 She spoke just days after the administration dropped an effort to persuade Israel to impose a temporary freeze on some settlement activity. The Palestinians insist that direct peace talks cannot resume until Israel halts settlement construction.
 Clinton made clear that she believes the Israelis and Palestinians are ultimately responsible for settling their long conflict.
 "Unfortunately  as we have learned  the parties in this conflict have often not been ready to take the necessary steps " she said. "Going forward  they must take responsibility and make the difficult decisions that peace requires. This begins with a sincere effort to see the world through the other side's eyes  to try to understand their perspective and positions. Palestinians must appreciate Israel's legitimate security concerns. And Israelis must accept the legitimate territorial aspirations of the Palestinian people. Ignoring the other side's needs is in the end self-defeating."
 Clinton did not mention the administration's frequently repeated goal of achieving at least the outline of a final peace settlement by September 2011. That goal was set when Israeli and Palestinian leaders came to Washington in September to resume negotiations -- a process that quickly broke down over disagreement on Israeli settlement activity in the West Bank.
 She pledged to stay actively involved  but she offered no new strategy for achieving the peace deal that has eluded other U.S. administrations.
 "The United States will not be a passive participant " she said. "We will push the parties to lay out their positions on the core issues without delay  in good faith  and with real specificity. We will work to narrow the gaps  asking tough questions and expecting substantive answers. And  in the context of our private conversations with the parties  we will offer our own ideas and bridging proposals when appropriate."
 Before her remarks  Clinton met the Palestinian prime minister  the lead Palestinian negotiator  the Israeli defense minister  Israel's former foreign minister and the U.N. special envoy for the region.
 On Thursday  Clinton held lengthy talks with Israel's chief negotiator. The administration's special Mideast peace envoy will travel to the region next week.

Answer: Clinton expresses frustration at Mideast impasse

 Carlos Beltran  said Tuesday night that  he  will not visit the White House with  his  former Houston Astros teammates and will spend time with  his  family instead.
 Beltran  said  his  decision to skip the trip is not politically motivated  though  he  has been "disappointed" by the U.S. government's response to Hurricane Maria damage in Puerto Rico  especially when compared to Hurricane Harvey relief efforts in Houston.
"Thereâs no doubt Iâm disappointed and Iâm not the only one "  Beltran  said at the Thurman Munson Dinner in New York. "Being part of the United States  you expect to at least get the same benefits (when) tragedies like this happen."
 Beltran  said Trump's presence in the White House did not affect  his  decision.
"(Trump) is the President of the United States "  Beltran  said  according to the New York Daily News. "If sometimes we donât like the things that he does  or we like the things that he does  at the end of the day heâs the president  so (it has) nothing to do with that.
 Beltran  later explained that  because  he  has since retired from baseball   he  doesn't feel like  he  belongs to a team like the Astros.
"My family ... thatâs the team I feel I belong to right now "  he  said.

Answer: Carlos Beltran : Retired player won't visit White House with Astros


Question: Adam Rippon  the 2016 U.S. menâs figure skating champion   had an outburst â telling USA Today  he  would prefer not to shake the vice presidentâs hand before the opening ceremony.
 Mr. Rippon  is believed to be the first openly gay Winter Olympian â and  he  took great umbrage at the vice presidentâs devout Christian faith.
âYou mean Mike Pence  the same Mike Pence that funded gay conversion therapy?â  Rippon  snarled. âIâm not buying it.â
âI donât think he has a real concept of reality â  Mr. Rippon  said. âTo stand by some of the things that Donald Trump has said and for Mike Pence to say heâs a devout Christian man is completely contradictory. If heâs OK with whatâs being said about people and Americans and foreigners and about different countries that are being called âs***holes â I think he should really go to church.â
Sadly   Mr. Rippon  did not bother to do  his  homework before attacking the vice president. It turns out  he  has long been adamant  he  never supported conversion therapy.
 Adam Rippon  may know how to land a triple axel  but when it comes to civility and grace   he âs skating on thin ice.
