NEW YORK (AP) ? The chief aide to embattled New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner went on an expletive-laced tirade about a former campaign intern in an interview with a political news website.
Barbara Morgan later apologized for using vulgar language to describe former intern Olivia Nuzzi. She said she believed her interview with Talking Points Memo was off the record.
Talking Points says Morgan launched into her attack on Nuzzi for writing an unflattering article for the Daily News about her experience working on Weiner's campaign.
Nuzzi wrote that Weiner often called interns "Monica," a reference to former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, and that many people worked on the campaign to get close to Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin. Abedin is an ex-aide to former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Professor Leo Leiderman, the chief economist at Israel?s Bank Hapoalim, will become the next governor of the Bank of Israel.
The appointment by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Yair Lapid was revealed today.
Prof Leiderman, who will replace outgoing governor Stanley Fischer, has been the chief economic adviser at Bank Hapoalim for over a decade.
Jacob Frenkel, 70, the chair of JP Morgan Chase, was expected to take up the position but withdrew his candidacy following shoplifting allegations.
Argentina-born Prof Leiderman,61, made aliyah when he was 17.
He has a PhD from Chicago University, is a former managing director of emerging markets at Deutsche Bank and was an executive board member and research department director at the Bank of Israel.
I'm using Android Studio and I've never imported or referenced any external libraries before.
The library I'm trying to reference is this: https://code.google.com/p/afiledialog/
I went to File - Project Structure - Modules and added a new Module pointing to this project library. After that I have no idea how to get it to work in my app, and when following the basic info on the main page it asks me to add this to my manifest file:
However when I do that it reports that it cant find the package FileChooserActivity.
All help is appreciated.
EDIT: Here are the main errors:
Gradle: package ar.com.daidalos.afiledialog does not exist Gradle: cannot find symbol class FileChooserDialog Gradle: cannot find symbol class FileChooserDialog

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. A new study has found that online tools, access to experimental data and other services provided through "cyberinfrastructure" are helping to accelerate progress in earthquake engineering and science.
The research is affiliated with the National Science Foundation's George E. Brown Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES), based at Purdue University. NEES includes 14 laboratories for earthquake engineering and tsunami research, tied together with cyberinfrastructure to provide information technology for the network.
The cyberinfrastructure includes a centrally maintained, Web-based science gateway called NEEShub, which houses experimental results and makes them available for reuse by researchers, practitioners and educational communities.
"It's a one-stop shopping site for the earthquake-engineering community to access really valuable intellectual contributions as well as experimental data generated from projects at the NEES sites," said Thomas Hacker, an associate professor in the Department of Computer and Information Technology at Purdue and co-leader of information technology for NEES. "The NEES cyberinfrastructure provides critical information technology services in support of earthquake engineering research and helps to accelerate science and engineering progress in a substantial way."
Findings from a recent study about cyberinfrastructure's impact on the field were detailed in a paper published in a special issue of the Journal of Structural Engineering, which coincides with a NEES Quake Summit 2013 on Aug. 7-8 in Reno. The paper was authored by Hacker; Rudolf Eigenmann, a professor in Purdue's School of Electrical and Computer Engineering; and Ellen Rathje, a professor in the Department of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering at the University of Texas, Austin.
A major element of the NEES cyberinfrastructure is a "project warehouse" that provides a place for researchers to upload project data, documents, papers and dissertations containing important experimental knowledge for the NEES community to access.
"A key factor in our efforts is the very strong involvement of experts in earthquake engineering and civil engineering in every aspect of our IT," Hacker said. "The software we develop and services we provide are driven by user requirements prioritized by the community. This is an example of a large-scale cyberinfrastructure project that is really working to address big-data needs and developing technologies and solutions that work today. It's a good example of how cyberinfrastructure can help knit together distributed communities or researchers into something greater than the sum of its parts."
The effort requires two key aspects: technological elements and sociological elements.
"The technological elements include high-speed networks, laptops, servers and software," he said. "The sociology includes the software-development process, the way we gather and prioritize user requirements and needs and our work with user communities. To be successful, a cyberinfrastructure effort needs to address both the technology and social elements, which has been our approach."
The project warehouse and NEEShub collects "metadata," or descriptive information about research needed to ensure that the information can be accessed in the future.
"Say you have an experiment with sensors over a structure to collect data like voltages over time or force displacements over time," Eigenmann said. "What's important for context is not only the data collected, but from which sensor, when the experiment was conducted, where the sensor was placed on the structure. When someone comes along later to reuse the information they need the metadata."
The resources are curated, meaning the data are organized in a fashion that ensures they haven't been modified and are valid for reference in the future.
"We take extra steps to ensure the long-term integrity of the data," Hacker said.
NEEShub contains more than 1.6 million project files stored in more than 398,000 project directories and has been shown to have at least 65,000 users over the past year. Other metrics information is available at http://nees.org/usage.
"We are seeing continued growth in the number of users," Rathje said. "We are helping to facilitate and enable the discovery process. We have earthquake engineering experts and civil engineering experts closely involved with every aspect of our IT and cyberinfrastructure, and we are constantly getting feedback and prototyping."
To help quantify the impact on research, projects are ranked by how many times they are downloaded. One project alone has had 3.3 million files downloaded.
"We have a curation dashboard for each project, which gives the curation status of the information so that users know whether it's ready to be cited and used," Hacker said.
The site also has a DOI, or digital object identifier, for each project.
"It's like a permanent identifier that goes with the data set," he said. "It gives you a permanent link to the data."
NEES researchers will continue to study the impact of cyberinfrastructure on engineering and scientific progress.
"The use and adoption of cybeinfrastructure by a community is a process," Hacker said. "At the beginning of the process we can measure the number of visitors and people accessing information. The ultimate impact of the cyberinfrastructure will be reflected in outcomes such as the number of publications that have benefited from using the cyberinfrastructure. It takes several years to follow that process and we are in the middle of that right now, but evidence points to a significant impact."

South Africa tour of Sri Lanka, 4th ODI: Sri Lanka v South Africa at Pallekele, Jul 28, 2013
Sunday was another listless effort from a struggling Rangers squad. Here?s a roundup of our coverage from the day:
Time to panic? After Rangers blanked again, Washington holds nearly hour-long team meeting The Rangers? scoreless streak reach 21 innings during a 6-0 loss Sunday. And even Ron Washington, who?s normally apt to brush slumps off as part of baseball, held his team for a 45-minute closed-door meeting after the game.
Grant: After a lost weekend in Cleveland, listless Rangers find themselves in a bind There?s no such thing as do-or-die in July, but the Rangers are treading dangerously close to that territory now, with a long stretch of AL West foes set for the next few weeks.
Ron Washington: ?I?m not upset with my team; I?m upset with how they played? The Rangers? manager said he thought his team looked like they were ?sleep walking? through Sunday?s finale in Cleveland. But not surprisingly, he?s still backing his players.
Horn: For Rangers? Garza, immense talent ? and fiery demeanor ? were evident from the start Barry Horn has a profile of new pitcher Matt Garza, from his early days in California to his run through MLB with Tampa and Chicago. It also touches on Garza?s fiery attitude on the mound, which once culminated in a shouting match with his catcher at the ballpark a few years ago.
Report: Rangers could consider trading Joe Nathan An interesting rumor that popped up last night has the Rangers considering a trade of Joe Nathan for offensive help. It might seem like an odd move at first, but with the Rangers boasting a deep bullpen and Nathan potentially able to hit free agency this off-season, he could be one of the team?s better trade chips.
Trade rumors don?t faze Joe Nathan For his part, Nathan brushed the rumors aside, saying ?As far as I?m concerned, I?m battling with this team all the way.?
Cleveland police, report refute Tanner Scheppers memory of Thursday attack Scheppers missed two games after he said he was sucker punched outside a Cleveland restaurant. But now the police report seems to refute Scheppers? claim, and the Rangers are now investigating the matter.
Ron Washington could give slumping Mitch Moreland time off against Angels With Moreland now 0 for his last 20 at the plate, don?t expect to see him all that much this week against LAA.
Minor league report: How 10 of Rangers? best prospects fared this week Finally, we?ve got another roundup of the Rangers? top 10 prospects, and after last week?s trade, two new players find themselves on the list.
