A retired psychologist who was one of two private contractors who designed a brutal CIA torture program following the Sept. 11 attacks is testifying about it in court for the first time. James Mitchell was called Tuesday as a defense witness in military proceedings at the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, against five men charged for their alleged roles in the 9/11 plot.Defense lawyers hope Mitchell's testimony about interrogations that many believe amounted to torture will help disqualify statements the defendants made to the FBI. Those statements are key evidence in their war crimes trial scheduled to start next year. 641

Americans traveling abroad are racing to try and get home, up against canceled or fully booked flights."This was our first international trip together, and we were going to spend St. Patrick's Day in Dublin," said Bree Steffen, who lives in San Diego.But for Bree Steffen and Sean Harris, the dream began to unravel while waiting for their connecting flight. "We were in Zürich when we found out about the travel restriction and when the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. So, we were like, 'Oh my God. What do we do?'" said Steffen. The couple tried to book tickets home, but they would've cost upwards of ,000, so Steffen and Harris stuck to the original plan. "We still had a really good time, but it was a lot different than we had pictured," said Steffen. They felt especially safe in the countryside, outnumbered by four-legged friends. But the mood changed in Dublin, where nearly all museums, restaurants, and pubs were closed. "It was tough, it was tough going into a restaurant and knowing that the busiest day for the year for them is now the slowest day of the year," said Harris. "We were supposed to come back on Friday, but everything kept changing hourly, and we were so scared we'd get stuck there, and we can't get stuck there, we had to get back," said Steffen. For days the couple couldn't find a flight; they were either booked or canceled. This week, they ultimately found one through United.At a layover in Newark, New Jersey, passengers were taken off the plane in groups of ten for medical screenings."And then they gave us this card, which has more information on COVID-19 and how to self-quarantine at home," said Steffen. But now at home, they're faced with another hurdle. "Terrifying. I got a realization last night that it's going to be very difficult to sustain a small business while having to be closed," said Harris. While in Ireland, Harris decided to close his business, Serpentine Cider, to stop the spread of coronavirus.Harris was also planning to open a tasting room next month--a decision that will likely be put on hold."We're potentially going to go out of business, and we've been doing really well. Going out of business on something that is not your fault it, it's sad," said Harris.But they're trying to stay hopeful and look forward to the day when they can once again visit Ireland. 2368

A view of a well-preserved colorful mosaic floor of an ancient Roman villa archaeologists have revealed among vineyards near the northern city of Verona, Italy. The official in charge of archaeology Verona province, Gianni de Zuccato, on Friday said the mosaics appeared to be ‘’in a good state of conservation,’’ from what they are able to observe after gingerly digging a trench between vineyards in the hills of Valpolicella, known for its full-bodied red wine.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- In New York’s capital region, just 20 minutes north of the state capital building, is Tech Valley Office Interiors and Rod Dion who has owned the small business for 15 years.“It’s been quite a ride,” said Dion. “We opened up, we were very successful our first three years, then the great recession hit and we had four or five years we prefer not to look back at and ever since then, it has been a happily steady rise again.” Like many small businesses in America, Tech Valley has enjoyed growth in this economy. However, with the upside has come a downside of a tight labor market.“Before, I would just put an ad up and I would have 50 resumes and have a person within a day or two,” Dion explained. “Now, I can go 30 days and I will get two or three resumes and they are not even qualified for the position.”Tech Valley is a part of the 88 percent of small businesses across the country that report struggling to hire qualified workers in a labor market where there are more available jobs than people looking for work. The Department of Labor and Statistics estimates there are 6.4 million jobs available but only 5.89 million people seeking work. Employees have an advantage and are forcing all employers to get competitive to actually hire good talent.Tech Valley is in that position currently, trying to hire at least two full-time positions. “We are paying a lot more than we did in the past,” said Dion. “We are probably paying about ,000 more in starting salary more, per employee, than we were 10 years ago.”Like most small businesses, Tech Valley cannot afford more significant salary increases. However, it still has to compete for new talent in this labor market and compete to keep its current staff, so it’s begun helping employees pay off their college debt. Student loan repayment is a benefit few employers offer. It can be costly, but ultimately less expensive than what it would cost the company to lose an employee or not be able to grow its staff.“The only way a business like mine is going to grow is to grow my staff, so if I can’t grow my staff, we are not going to grow as a whole,” said Dion.Stunted growth in any business could eventually lead to less profits, which would be an even bigger problem.“It is very difficult right now there is more of a strain going on than many people realize, but in many ways there have been positives out of it,” Dion explained. “Salaries have gone up and businesses understand what they have to do to respond to their needs.” 2518
