Oh my Gosh!!! Erica just told me today that Dr. Philip Mosley is going to introduce the films on gala night! I'm so thrilled! He always makes everything seem so classy and his insights into the films and the directors are just the sort of info film buffs (and buffettes) just love! And the films he's introducing are both British so it's totally perfect!
Speaking of films, this is the week I tell you about our festival goodies, and honestly, I do think this might be the best festival yet. You'll see…I'm not just saying that.
Okay, opening night we are showing The Last Station starring Christopher Plummer and Helen Mirren about the final days of the great Russian writer, Tolstoy. It is the battle of wills between Sofya Tolstoy, his wife of fifty years, and his friend Chertkov, who insists that Tolstoy's work be turned over, at his death, to the Russian people. Sofya fights to keep his writings the property of the family. It's fascinating in that it not only tells the story of the great battle over Tolstoy's work, but tells of the epic love story between Tolstoy and Sofya.
An Education is about a young woman, in school and bored to death, who meets an older man who essentially sweeps her off her feet and makes her believe that school is a frivolity and all she needs is him. Needless to say, as exciting as the world he shows her may be, it is no substitute for an education. It's a delightful film and, just like The Last Station, had Academy Award nominations.
The Art of the Steal is a documentary that explores how greed, political power and good intentions collaborate to violate Alfred Barne's wishes and scatter his private art collection all over the globe. It's as fascinating as any fiction film about art thieves.
Fresh is a film about food (what else) and what we eat, and how it's grown, and the value to our bodies and spirits of eating that which is locally owned and produced. After the showings we will have discussion and a group of experts will answer any questions you may have.
Me and Orson Welles looks to be a favorite of the festival. It's about a young man who desperately wants to be an actor, getting his first job at the Mercury Theater in NY and working for the great (although slightly mad) genius, Orson Welles. It's funny and romantic and a grand period piece (always my favorites). It stars Zac Efron and Claire Danes which , I'm hoping, will lure in some young folks to festival.
Ghost Writer stars Pierce Brosnon and Kim Cattrell in Roman Polanski's latest and finest film. It's a thrill ride from beginning to end with political overtones, about a ghost writer who is offered the deal of a lifetime. Except, what did our Mum's always say? If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
The Road is Cormac McCarthy's apocalyptic vision of America after cataclysm where a dying man tries desperately to get his young son to some kind of civilization so the boy isn't left alone in a hostile world. It's sad and bleak and profound. I loved the book and the movie got terrific reviews, so I'm looking forward to seeing the words come alive on the screen.
Okay, so for me the main reason to see Nine is Sophia Loren. That woman is still completely gorgeous and charming after all these years. The cast is incredible (how about Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, and Judi Dench for soooo cool???) and the music and dancing superb. I can't wait to see all the razzle-dazzle this film has to offer.
A Single Man stars Collin Firth (who will forever be Mr. Darcy in my mind) as a man mourning for the loss of his beloved in the early 1960's. Nominated for an Academy Award, Firth is perfect as the man who struggles to find meaning in his life after his longtime companion dies. A deeply moving film that should be a festival fave.
Ooops. I ran out of space. So I'll tell you about the rest next week. (Wasn't I right? Don't they all sound fab????) Don't forget to call 996-1500 to make those gala reservations.

Last weekend, we had a one-woman show called "Determined Spirit: The Story of Amelia Earhart" at the Dietrich. Amelia's story in itself is inspiring and amazing, but to see it performed theatrically was incredible. When actress and historian Monica Hoffman walked in the door to do the show, it felt like you were looking at Amelia. On behalf of the theater, I would like to thank Annette Sheldon for recommending that we bring Monica to our community after a friend of hers saw the show performed at a library in Mt. Olive, NJ. Also, I need to thank Sam Casterline of Tunkhannock's Bridge Street Market for donating an Amelia Earhart travel case that was given away as a door prize at the show.
In less than two weeks the Dietrich's Spring 2010 Film Festival will be here. To be able to see so many acclaimed foreign, independent and art films in just two weeks is a treat. I hope to catch the intriguing documentary The Art of the Steal about how, against his wishes, Albert C. Barnes's art collection gets distributed across the globe after his death. The Ghost Writer starring Ewan McGregor and Pierce Brosnan also looks good. I just love suspenseful thrillers. I also plan to see Colin Firth and Julianne Moore in A Single Man based on the novel by Christopher Isherwood. The two coming of age films An Education and Me and Orson Welles, sound like good entertainment. Excluding gala night, tickets to festival movies are $7 each for matinees (before 6 pm) and $8 for evening shows. To learn more about all sixteen film festival selections and their showtimes, visit our website www.dietrichtheater.com.
For the opening night gala, the Dietrich will show The Last Station featuring Christopher Plummer, Helen Mirren and James McAvoy, and An Education. These films will be introduced by Dr. Philip Mosley. His knowledge of films is incredible. Of course, the evening would not be complete without wine provided by Nimble Hill Vineyard & Winery and hors d'oeuvres by Twigs Restaurant, Epicurean Delight, and Seasons Restaurant. In between movies, Epicurean Delight will provide a delectable array of desserts. It will definitely be a festive evening - great food, great entertainment, and great company. Tickets for gala night are $45 each and can be reserved by calling the Dietrich at 570-996-1500. Reservations are required for gala night only.
Speaking of food, doesn't a "New World Fusion" cooking class sound fun and delicious? Well, on Wednesday, April 28 from 6:00 to 8:30 pm, you will have an opportunity to learn how to cook a delightful East Meets West menu as you dine. Taught by instructor Dave Dunster at the Susquehanna County Career and Technology Center Food Management, Production and Services Department, you will learn how to prepare the following five courses:
fried plantains with roasted garlic mayo, famous Cuban black bean soup topped with sweet Mayan onions and cumin crème fraiche, peanut lo mein - tossed sesame peanut sauce and topped with diced tropical fruit and vegetables, grilled Jamaican jerk chicken with a mango pepper sauce, and for dessert, key lime pie with a pecan coconut crust. Admission for the evening is $50 and proceeds support the Wyoming County Cultural Center at the Dietrich Theater. Call 570-996-1500 to make your reservations. Seating is limited. As Dave Dunster says, "Life is short…Eat good food!"

On Oct. 2, the spokesperson for the City Personnel Department, Bruce Whidden, said he had erred in September when he stated that a complaint filed against Mr. Huizar dealt with allegations of harassment, discrimination and retaliation. Responding to questions from the Los Angeles Times, Mr. Whidden said that the personnel department's letter reporting the complaint to the City Council president mentioned only discrimination.
Mr. Whidden also said he had been incorrect when he stated that the personnel department began processing the complaint against Mr. Huizar in early September, shortly before reporting the complaint to the City Council president on Sept. 13. His revised explanation, also reported by the L.A. Times on Oct. 2, is that department employees began processing the complaint in late June and that it should have been reported to the City Council president much sooner than it was.
The personnel department's timing in handling the complaint against Mr. Huizar has drawn scrutiny, in part because such complaints are supposed to be handled quickly and partly because the department informed the City Council president of the complaint on the same day that Richelle Huizar, Mr. Huizar's wife, announced she would run for her husband's City Council seat when he is termed out in 2020.
Posted Sept 29: Richelle Huizar, the wife of NELA City Councilmember José Huizar, announced on Sept. 13 that she would run for her husband's City Council seat when he is termed out in 2020.
That same day, the City Personnel Office informed City Council President Herb Wesson that Mr. Huizar was the subject of a complaint alleging harassment, discrimination and retaliation. A day later, Mr. Wesson called for a special panel to investigate the complaint. The city code does not require that the convening of a special investigative panel be announced publicly. But the Los Angeles Times broke the story about the complaint and the investigation on Sept. 20.
The most important thing now is for a thorough and even-handed investigation.
But meanwhile, Ms. Huizar will be challenged to keep the public's attention on her campaign. A lawyer by training and an advocate for youth, women and families, she launched her bid for elected office with a focus on homelessness, affordable housing and other pressing problems. The complaint against Mr. Huizar has taken the spotlight off of her and her agenda and put it on him and the complaint.
The Boulevard Sentinel emailed the City Personnel Department to understand how it came to pass that the allegation against Mr. Huizar was communicated to Mr. Wesson, the City Council President, on the same day that Ms. Huizar announced her candidacy for the CD14 seat.
Bruce Whidden, the spokesperson for the City Personnel Department, replied that the complaint against Mr. Huizar was filed on June 20, 2018 on MyVoiceLA, a new website for City workers to report sexual harassment and other workplace abuse. But, he wrote, the personnel department did not identify the filing as actual complaint that needed to be addressed until Sept. 3.
After MyVoiceLA went live, the Personnel Department realized its mistake and initiated procedures to address the complaint. They identified and contacted the person who had filed the complaint and then informed Mr. Wesson, the City Council President – all of which took until Sept. 13.
The investigative panel called by Mr. Wesson will be the second such panel convened to look into a harassment allegation against Mr. Huizar. The first panel, in 2013, found no evidence of harassment, according to an excerpt of the panel's findings obtained by the L.A. Times in 2014. In that investigation, Mr. Huizar's accuser, Francine Godoy, his former Deputy Chief of Staff, refused to be interviewed, saying the process was tainted. In 2015, Mr. Huizar privately settled a sexual harassment lawsuit brought against him by Ms. Godoy.
The special investigative panel must be made up of two former judges, one male and one female, two law school professors, one male and one female and one member of the American Arbitration Association.
On Sept. 20, the day of the L.A. Times story on the new complaint, Mr. Huizar said in a prepared statement that he did not know any details of the complaint and therefore could not comment. He said that he and his staff take great pains to conduct City business in a professional, respectful way and given that level of care, he was "confounded under what basis anyone would have to file a legitimate complaint." On Sept. 26, the Boulevard Sentinel followed up with Mr. Huizar's office, asking if he had since learned any details of the complaint and if he had any additional comment. His spokesperson said that Mr. Huizar had nothing to add to his initial statement.
Shop Locally. Boost the Community. Have a Great Holiday.

Additional reviewer for Eastern Europe
By snelstim, January 30, 2020 in All Nations
+snelstim 2

Is there any way to make Groundspeak aware that there is an additional reviewer required for eastern Europe?
It's seems like there is only one person available for my area (Romania) and I think the person is overwhelmed with requests.
There are a lot of geocaches that are missing or requiring maintenance and for which the CO doesn't seem to be around anymore. Some are getting reviewed but a lot of them just stay listed, even with multiple DNFs for a period of 2 years or more.
This is quite frustrating when going out for a trip as you think you're going to an area with lots of caches but end up getting DNF after DNF.
Also I want to put some new caches, the last cache I submitted is still not reviewed after 9 days, but a lot of good places are not available because there is a missing cache listed in that area.
RuideAlmeida 579
Just a little reminder that DNF or even NM logs don't reach the reviewer automatically... but NAs do.
All those caches are not the reviewer responsibility... one, two or a dozen.

I just ran a CHS query for the last 30 days for your home area (based on your Finds and cache that you own), and came up with 17 Listings that have fallen below the CHS threshold, which doesn't sound too bad actually. In comparison, Oregon, in the United States, which is roughly the same size, has 60 Listings below the threshold (albeit, there are probably many more caches in the birthplace of Geocaching, than in your area), which is pretty typical for a relatively saturated Reviewing Territory like that.
I would recommend, like RA mentioned above, to start utilizing the tools you have at your disposal and start posting some NA log types to alert the local Reviewer when you encounter these neglected Listings. Just glancing at the Review Queue, there's only half a dozen Listings waiting for Review in your area, so I can't really say there's much of a backlog of things to be done.
I thought that too many DNFs would alert the reviewer, but if it doesn't then i'll start with reporting them all as NA.
Comparing Oregon to Romania doesn't really add up, the geocaching community is a lot smaller here.
Still my original question remains, is there a way to get an additional reviewer for the area? If there is only half a dozen of listings waiting for review and it isn't done in 2 months then that probably means the reviewer is busy, so it wouldn't be bad if there are 2 people covering an area.

Yes, I found that page before but it doesn't really answer anything. It just states that volunteers get nominated by other volunteers if there is need for one.
How is it decided if there is need for one?
8 minutes ago, snelstim said:
Geocaching HQ and the reviewing team will evaluate the need... they have dedicated forums where all the discussion is held.
On 1/30/2020 at 9:07 AM, RuideAlmeida said:
It seems to me that snelstim is expressing a need. I assume that those dedicated forums are only open to lackeys and reviewers. How is someone supposed to know if the need is being evaluated.

THEATRESPORTS® All-Stars: Battle of the Champions @ Sydney Comedy Festival
One of the highlights of the Sydney Comedy Fest running till 19 May 2019 is always Theatresports®. For those who don't know, Theatresports® is an improv competition where a director or the audience provide input for the improv scenes and a panel of judges scores each round till a winner is decided. I'll admit I'm a bit biased, having been a theatre teacher in high school in a previous life, but there's something so raw, so original and so exciting about a show that's created on the spot that never fails to amaze me.
This year, improvised comedy cup winners from the '80s, '90s and 'naughties' went head-to-head at the Enmore Theatre during the 2019 Sydney Comedy Festival at the Theatresports All Stars Annual 'Battle of the Champions'!
While it was billed as a battle, in the first few rounds all the teams were split up and new mixed teams were selected for each round, which I found a bit confusing at first. However, I soon realised that the battle element of it was all fun and games, kind of like a primary school footy competition where all the children win medals. I did find that the oldest troupe there, the 80's bunch, were the funniest when it came to the onstage chemistry.
After a dazzling array of skits including emotional rollercoaster, spontaneous combustion (30 one line scenes in 3 minutes), genre switches and musical comedy, it came down to the last round – the epic round. The youngest team were asked to create a school bake sale in the form of Game of Thrones. Topical as it may be, their performance was truly hilarious, with one joke about 'Bran' cookies bringing the entire house down. The 90's group also brought their A-game to this round, creating an absurdist opera about the races that was so clever it wasn't even funny. And finally, the 80's team got to do Shakespeare with a twist, a form of improv that's so popular no show is complete without it. Their Shakespeare at the Royal Easter show was funny, but paled in comparison to what had followed before it. The champions were the younguns – by the faintest of margins – and an evening of unexpected twists and turns came to a close with a heart warming exhortation by the participants to involve more children in Theatresports and the arts in general.

Extracting and cataloguing botanical specimens from the rainforest canopy doesn´t sound easy, even with fantastic tree climbing skills, but with the help of some botanists from INPA and Kew Gardens (and a ten metre extendible tree pruner) the community of Xixuaú have shown that the 'Botânica Comunitária' (Community Botany) project could work.
A few days ago a boat chugged up to Xixuaú with probably the most well-connected visitors so far, from the most discerning of art collectors to the bankers´ boardroom.
Xixuaú is 30 hours from the hospitals of Manaus, so access to basic health services has long been a priority for the community in Xixuaú.
Dr John Hemming, founder of Survival International and Director and Secretary of the Royal Geographical Society for 21 years, is a trustee of so many charities that after his first visit to Xixuaú, we decided to hear from him about his thoughts on the area, and on ACT's potential.

CES 2022 concludes
TVJ Stories
CES 2022 concluded on January 7, following a week filled with thousands of product debuts unveiling innovation that will better the world and solve global challenges. More than 2300 exhibiting companies from around the world, including more than 800 startups, launched products featuring innovation across artificial intelligence, automotive technology, digital health, smart home and more. After nearly two years, CES returned 'home' to Las Vegas welcoming well over 40,000 attendees in person, including 1800 global media, across 11 indoor and outdoor venues. The show was truly a global event, with 30 percent of attendees traveling from outside the US – representing 119 countries.
"Innovation came to life at CES 2022 – with technologies that will reshape industries and provide solutions to pressing worldwide issues from healthcare to agriculture, sustainability and beyond," said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, Consumer Technology Association (CTA)TM, owner and producer of CES. "The CES show floor buzzed with the joy of human interaction and a five-sense innovation experience with products that will redefine our future and change our world for the better."
"CES 2022 furthered global business this week, as our industry gathered – many for the first time in two years – to collaborate, forge partnerships, make deals and advance the economy," said Karen Chupka, EVP, CES. "After two years of not being able to connect in person, we were thrilled to welcome our industry back together again face-to-face to experience the latest innovation at CES 2022."
CES 2022 featured transformative technologies that will spur business and shift markets, with major brands including Bosch, Canon, Hisense, HTC, LG Electronics, Nvidia, Samsung Electronics, Sony, Panasonic and Qualcomm. Key TV trends included:
The main trends for TVs 2021 included bigger screens (80-inches and larger), more 8K, mini-LED, improved brightness for OLED TVs, AI video and audio processing, continued implementation of HDMI 2.1, and Google and Alexa integration spread across more brands and models.
Samsung is traditionally the biggest exhibitor at CES and, despite virtual limitations for 2021, didn't hold back, especially in the TV space. Just before CES, Samsung announced a line of MicroLED TVs with 110 and 99-inch screen sizes and teased more sizes in the future.
MicroLED TV eliminates the weakness of both LCD-based and OLED TVs by providing excellent color, absolute black, high brightness, wide viewing angles, and no burn-in susceptibility. Instead of using LEDs as backlights, each MicroLED is a microscopic pixel that emits its own light and produces the image and color. However, the 110-inch model sells for approximately USD 156,000, which is out of reach for about 99 percent of consumers.
On the "more affordable" side, Samsung introduced its new QLED Neo-labeled TVs. These are select QLED TV models that incorporate mini-LED blacklight technology to improve black levels, contrast, which more closely approaches OLED TV performance (LG is Samsung's main competitor). All QLED TVs (even those with mini-LED backlighting) still incorporate an LCD panel as the front display element.
Samsung also announced a solar-powered TV remote for select TVs that can be charged with sunlight or indoor lighting. However, since many use TVs in dark rooms a USB-C connection is provided as an alternative charging method.
More details will be forthcoming in relation to specific model numbers, screen sizes, and pricing as well as what feature mix will be included in which models.
LG Electronics was onhand to reveal both more affordable OLED TVs, as well as a new line of OLED (EVO) TVs that can display higher light output (up to 1,000 Nits). To put that in perspective, most OLED TVs can only output up to 700 to 800 nits. This improves performance in brightly lit rooms and improves the HDR dynamic range.
QNED. LG also announced its new high-end "QNED" LED/LCD NanoCell TVs which add mini-LED backlighting and Quantum Dot layers that improve both color and contrast bringing those sets closer to the black levels displayed by OLED TVs (although OLED TVs are still the only sets than can display absolute black). To improve the onscreen user experience, LG is also upgrading its OLED and "QNED" TV lines to the WebOS 6.0 smart TV platform. There was no indication if or when other LG TVs would get the WebOS 6.0 upgrade.
Bendable and Transparent OLED Displays. LG Display, also got a lot of attention with several innovations, including a bendable 48-inch OLED gaming monitor and 55-inch Transparent OLED screen for business, retail, and home use. They also hinted at the possible offering of a 42-inch OLED panel to its TV brand partners interested in offering an OLED TV with that screen size to consumers.
Sony revealed its high-end Bravia XR TV line which consists of three (X90J, X95J, Z9J) LCD-based and two (A80J, A90J) OLED model series. The Z9J is the lone 8K series, with the rest being 4K models.
The main feature of the sets is Sony's new Cognitive Processing XR, which optimizes both video and audio performance in real-time by mimicking how our brains see visual and hear audio detail.
All Sony Bravia XR TVs include an exclusive (for now) pre-installed streaming service referred to as Sony Bravia Core. The content is grabbed from the extensive Sony Pictures film library and is accessible via credits given to each TV owner. The number of credits varies by Bravia XR TV model.
TCL caused quite a stir at CES 2021. Quickly becoming a dominant force in the U.S. TV market with its successful line of Roku-enabled QLED TVs, they upped their game by announcing its 85-inch XL Collection which will include one or more "affordable" 8K TVs. Exact pricing is still forthcoming, but if TCL can deliver a 65-inch or larger 8K TV for USD 2,000 or less, that will shake things up.
In addition to 8K, they also announced the OD Zero form factor technology for select TVs which fuses a mini-LED backlight panel with a light diffuser plate improving backlight efficiency and reducing TV thickness to 3mm or less. TCL also announced it is adding the Google TV OS to select models.
Hisense has been growing its market share in the U.S. and at CES announced their plans to add 4K and 8K QLED Mini-LED TVs to its U.S. product line as well as adding new 4K Laser TVs (aka short-throw projector systems) with an evolved TriChromatic (RGB) Laser light source for more precise color.
In addition to reveals from familiar TV brand names, two brands that are well-known in the industry but not familiar with U.S. consumers, Konka and Skyworth will be increasing their presence with LED/LCD, QLED, and OLED TVs. Panasonic is experimenting with a limited return to the U.S. TV market after leaving several years ago by allowing Value Electronics, in Upstate York, to offer select models from its Hollywood-grade Pro OLED TV line to U.S. customers.
In addition to TV-related announcements, some audio announcements were sprinkled in, but home theater audio manufacturers didn't have as much of a presence at CES 2021.
With TVs continuing to become "ultra-thin" there is little space for an adequate speaker system, so solutions such as embedding speakers into LED/LCD and QLED TV frames or placing transducers in the screens of OLED TVs is becoming a design choice for companies such as Samsung, LG, and Sony.
Several TV and audio companies revealed new soundbar systems (some with Dolby Atmos support), and Sony revealed its 360 Reality wireless home audio speaker line.
Tech to unlock the metaverse
"There's a lot of buzz about the metaverse today. And it is in fact a new trend in the industry, and one that I think is going to evolve over the next roughly 20 years," said Steve Koenig, Vice President for Research at the Consumer Technology Association (CTA).
"We're starting to talk about metaverse now the same way we started to talk about the internet in the early 1990s. And so if you remember back to that time, when we were all using 56k modems and dial-up internet service, it was impossible to imagine the things we'd be doing online today and I think the same is true with Metaverse."
Tech companies such as Hyundai, Shiftall, Owo or Touchcast have all unveiled tech at CES 2022 that will unlock the metaverse.
The CES keynote stage featured leaders across global industries. Top executives delivered addresses including J.H. Han, Vice Chairman, CEO and Head of DX (Device eXperience) division at Samsung Electronics; Mary Barra, chair and CEO of General Motors and Robert B. Ford, president and CEO of Abbott, the first healthcare keynote in CES history. Emmy-award winning FOX Business anchor Liz Claman and owners of Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC), Erin and Faith Ozmen, spoke during the CES Leaders in Technology Dinner.
With more than 40,000 attendees, CES 2022 was able to successfully gather the industry together in person with praise from the US Travel Association on the show's protocols. Health protocols were put in place for in-person attendance, including proof of vaccination, required masking indoors, testing and social distancing measures.
"CES offers ScenTronix a platform to directly connect with end consumers, potential business partners and investors," said Frederik Duerinck, founder and CEO of ScenTronix, a startup within Eureka Park. "It's an enabler for our next step in rolling out the next phase of expansion into the US."
Those in the industry unable to attend CES in person can access the show digitally through January 31. Web Summit was selected as the digital platform provider for CES 2022. The technology benefits both in-person and digital attendees.
Exhibit sales for CES 2023 are already off to a strong start, with CES returning to Las Vegas January 5-8, 2023.

This is a good old fashioned monster movie released through MTI.A group of friends go on a fishing trip in the woods. One of them has brought his fiancee and the other two guys aren't too keen on the idea. They'd rather tell dirty stories and drink beer (of course!). Near the lake is government property.It just so happens that this is also where an experiment has gotten loose. There's this huge, RELIC/dinosaur looking monster which is killing people. To make matters worse there's someone who is feeding it, a rogue government operative named Kane (Tom Savini). He leads unsuspecting people to it, like the campers, and then hides the remainders in the basement of an old building.The man in charge of the secret government project sends in two Marines to kill Kane and the monster. Kane kills them first. There are a few more deaths, of people who inadvertently stumble into the area. And in the end, only the camper couple is left alive. Now, hey not only have to survive Kane but defeat this huge monster.This movie moves and the acting is top notch except for one of the actors-Tom Savini. Sure, it's cool to have Savini's name on a picture-but we all remember him for doing great special effects, like DAWN OF THE DEAD, CREEPSHOW, MONKEY SHINES. That's what he should be doing-not half-acting in these types of movies. He never got lauded for his acting! It's those effects he used to do--the EFFECTS! Compared to the rest of the cast he stands out like a sore thumb.This is one of the better killer animal movies to come to the video store shelves in quite while.

Introduction: Various inflammatory markers and laboratory parameters were identified as the predictors of severity and mortality in COVID -19 infection. However, the progression of inflammatory markers and their gender difference in COVID-19 deaths has not been extensively studied. The study aim was to analyze the progression of inflammatory markers, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in COVID-19 deaths, and analyzed the correlation between NLR, PLR and inflammatory markers.
Materials and methods: A retrospective observational study based on records was done on 104 patients who died due to COVID-19 infection. In addition to baseline investigations, NLR (Neutrophil Lymphocyte ratio), PLR (Platelet Lymphocyte Ratio), ferritin, D-dimer and CRP (C reactive protein) was collected for all patients on day one, day three and day five.
Results: Out of 104 patients, 68 were males and 36 were females. Mean NLR was 5.7, 7.3 & 7.5 on day one, three and five respectively. Mean PLR was 145.9, 166.6 and 173.7 on day one, three and five respectively. Mean CRP was 37.6mg/l, 51mg/l & 57.2mg/l, mean ferritin was 780.9ng/ml, 852.5ng/ml &1033ng/ml and mean D-dimer was 2373ng/ml, 3149ng/ml & 3686ng/ml on day one, three and five respectively. There was a strong positive correlation of NLR with ferritin (0.598), CRP (0.663) and D-dimer (0.53) on day one and on day five, but only a weakly positive correlation observed on day three. There was a negative correlation between PLR and inflammatory markers. No significant difference in the inflammatory markers and their progression was noted between males and females.
Conclusion: In this retrospective cohort study of 104 COVID-19 deaths, there was progressive increase of inflammatory markers. Serial measurements of inflammatory markers help in early identifications of patients who may deteriorate. Progression of NLR has strong correlation with inflammatory markers and could be used as a surrogate marker to prioritise treatment in resource limited settings.
Keywords: COVID-19; neutrophil lymphocyte ratio; platelet lymphocyte ratio; ferritin; C reactive protein; D-dimer
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), emerged in China and then spread to other countries rapidly to become a global public health problem. More than 590 million people were affected, and six million people died over the last two years worldwide. More than 40 million people were affected and 0.5 million people died in India due to the disease [1].
The spectrum of clinical symptoms, cause of mortality and post COVID-19 symptoms varied over the period due to mutation of the virus. Among the infected, 14-15 % of patients developed severe disease and 5% patients succumbed to death during the initial stages of the pandemic [2]. The percentage of in hospital mortality ranged from 6.3 to 26.85% in different countries worldwide [3]. Even though there is no difference in incidence of COVID-19 infection between males and females, the need for intensive care unit (ICU) admission and mortality is higher in males. [4] Various laboratory parameters and inflammatory markers were identified as the predictors of severe disease and mortality. Increase in the neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and the levels of inflammatory markers were studied as the predictors of severe disease [5]. However, the progression of these markers and the gender difference were not extensively studied in the COVID-19 deaths.
The aim of the study was to analyze the dynamics of inflammatory markers, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio, platelet lymphocyte ratio in patients who died due to COVID-19. This included assessment of progression of NLR, PLR and inflammatory markers as well as correlation between NLR, PLR and the inflammatory markers. Since there was a significant difference in mortality between males and females due to COVID-19, we also assessed the gender difference in inflammatory markers.
A retrospective observational study based on records was done on 104 patients who died due to confirmed COVID-19 infection. COVID-19 infection diagnosed by RTPCR or antigen, admitted to Government Medical College, Kollam between April 2020 and March 2021 and died due to the infection were included in the study. Ethical committee approval was obtained for the study.
Exclusion criteria: (a) COVID-19 positive patients who became negative prior to death, (b) Patients who were proven COVID-19 positive, post-mortem without an antemortem diagnosis were excluded from the study, (c) Below 18 years of age, (d) Death within 2 days of admission, (e) Incomplete data on NLR, PLR, ferritin, D-dimer and CRP.
Epidemiological, clinical and laboratory parameters were collected retrospectively from records of patients who died due to COVID-19 infection during the period from April 2020 to March 2021. These patients had the diagnosis confirmed by a positive COVID-19 test either RTPCR or antigen. Only patients who were COVID-19 positive during death were included in the study. All data was recorded in the data collection forms, reviewed and double checked. Data collection forms contained details regarding demographic data, medical history, history of exposure to infection, symptoms, signs, laboratory findings and duration of illness before death. NLR, PLR, ferritin, D-dimer and CRP was collected for all patients on day one, day three and day five.
Categorical and quantitative variables were expressed as frequency and mean ± SD respectively. Karl Pearson Correlation Coefficient was used to find out relationship of quantitative parameters. Paired t test was used to find significance in progression in markers. Independent 't' test was used to compare quantitative parameters between categories. For all statistical interpretations, p<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Statistical analysis was performed by using a statistical software package SPSS, version 20.
During the study period, 130 patients died due to COVID-19 infection in our institute. 15 patients were diagnosed with COVID-19 post-mortem and 11 patients who were initially COVID-19 positive had become COVID-19 negative before death. So, these patients were excluded from the study and finally 104 patients were included in the study for statistical analysis.
During the study period 104 deaths were documented in the ICU satisfying the inclusion criteria. Among them, the oldest was 100 years of age and the youngest was 25 years of age. 75 patients (72 %) were above 60 years of age. 81 patients were between the age of 50 and 80. 54.8% patient had ICU stay of less than five days and 5.8 % had hospital stay of more than 10 days before death. The mean ICU stay was 5.9 days (Table 1).

It is observed that there is a significant elevation of NLR values from day one to day three. There is no significant elevation of NLR value from day three to day five even though the mean value of NLR has increased among patients who died due to severe COVID-19.
The mean value of PLR on day one was 145.5. It increased to 166.6 and 173.7 on day three and day five respectively. It was observed that even though there was no statistically significant elevation of PLR value, there was a progressive increase in the PLR value over the period. It was observed that there was progression of both NLR and PLR among those patients who deteriorated and died due to COVID-19 infection.
Assessing the progression of ferritin over five days, there was no statistically significant progression of ferritin in the first three days, but a significant elevation of ferritin was noted from day three to day five among patients who died due to severe COVID-19. The levels of CRP was 37.6mg/L on the first day. There was significant elevation of CRP to 51mg/l on the day three. Even though CRP further increased on day five, there was no statistically significant progression of CRP from day three to day five.
The mean D-dimer value on day one was 2373.3ng/ml and there was a statistically significant elevation on day three and day five. All studied inflammatory markers, mean CRP, ferritin and D-dimer progressively increased in all the patients who died due to COVID-19.
The correlation of the inflammatory markers like ferritin, CRP and D-dimer were assessed in relation to NLR. A strong positive correlation was noticed between NLR and serum ferritin, CRP and D-dimer levels on day one and day five and a weak positive correlation on day three (Table 3).

The correlation of the inflammatory markers like ferritin, CRP and D-dimer were assessed in relation to PLR. No significant relationship was noticed between PLR over the five days with serum ferritin level (Table 4).
Table 4: Relationship of PLR with other 3 inflammatory markers.
A negative correlation was noticed in the level of CRP on day one, three and day five compared with the PLR value. No significant correlation was noticed in the levels of D-dimer and PLR value over the period of five days.
The difference in levels of NLR, PLR, CRP, ferritin and D-dimer in both genders were analysed. The mean of NLR in males on day one, three and five were 5.7, 7.7 and 7.6 respectively and in females 5.5, 6.5 and 7.4 respectively and there is no statistically significant difference. The mean of PLR in males on day one, three and five are 146.3,182.1 and 169.5 respectively and 150.1,135.3 and 181.2 in females. The mean of CRP in males on day one, three and five are 39.5, 51.0 and 59.4 respectively and 35.6. 51.0 and 53.0 in females. The mean of ferritin in males on day one, three and five are 849.4, 865.4 and 1039.5 respectively and 696.2, 826.3 and 1021.2 in females. The mean of D-dimer in males on day one, three and five are 2425.7, 3208.6 and 3741.0 respectively and 2244.6, 3030.3 and 3587.0 in females. Even though the mean of NLR, PLR, ferritin, CRP and D-dimer were higher in males compared to females, there was no statistically significant difference between males and females over the five days.
The clinical presentation of corona virus infection ranges from asymptomatic cases to mild and critically ill disease. A small percentage of patients may progress to severe pneumonia, ARDS and death. Because COVID-19 spreads rapidly and causes significant morbidity and mortality, it is important to anticipate in which patients it can be more fatal. Inflammatory markers, NLR, PLR have been reported to be predictors of mortality in patients with COVID-19 disease [6-10]. Various studies have showed that these markers of inflammation are associated with severe illness and mortality. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 104 patients who died due to COVID-19 infection. We found that inflammatory markers like ferritin, CRP, and D-dimer were significantly elevated in these patients. Mean NLR was 5.7, PLR was 145.9, CRP was 37.6mg/l, D-dimer was 2373ng/ml and ferritin was 780.9µg/ml on the first day of ICU admission.
The immune response to infection is a dynamic process involving activation of humoral and cellular component resulting in fluctuation of inflammatory marker expression over time. Some studies showed fall in inflammatory markers after 10 days in patients with clinical improvement. Here we longitudinally analysed the pattern of the common inflammatory markers like ferritin, CRP, D-dimer, NLR and PLR over time in patients who died due to COVID-19. Our analysis showed a progressive increase in inflammatory markers over time which indicated cytokine storm as the cause of death in patients with COVID-19.
Several studies have been conducted to ascertain the relationship between these markers and the overall outcome of patients with COVID-19 disease.
The cytokine storm due to the release of pro-inflammatory mediators like those reported in other infections has been found to be a major cause of death in patients with severe COVID-19 disease [11].
Earlier studies have shown that D-dimer levels at the time of admission, predicted mortality in patients with COVID-19 infection [12, 13]. In the study by Poudel et al., mean baseline D-dimer at the time of admission among survivors was 1067 ng/ml whereas among patients who died it was 3208 ng/ml and the cut off value was 1500 ng/ml for predicting mortality [12]. In our study the mean baseline D-dimer value of patients who died due to COVID -19 was 2373 ng/ml, much higher than the cut off value of 1500 ng/ml.
Serum ferritin, an acute phase reactant protein is also used as a marker of acute infection. High serum ferritin values at later stages of the illness were more significantly associated with death than raised ferritin at baseline or the progressive change in serum ferritin values during the course of the disease [9]. High baseline serum ferritin values have been independently associated with a severe course of the disease [14].
Studies have shown that acute respiratory distress syndrome in COVID-19 is associated with raised serum ferritin [15]. It is also associated with more severe course of the disease [16]. In a study by Qeaden et al., the serum ferritin cut off value for predicting mortality was 714nµg/ml [17]. Another study showed predictive cut off value of ferritin > 723µg/ml and CRP > 45.5mg/l to predict mortality [18]. In our study mean serum ferritin values on all the 3 days in COVID-19 deaths were above this value. Since ours was a retrospective study, we could not rule out all confounding factors for raised ferritin values.
Earlier reports have shown that baseline CRP levels and CRP levels before terminal events indicate poor prognosis in patients with COVID-19 [19]. Higher baseline CRP values were also associated with higher CT severity scores [20]. Higher CRP values have been associated with increased mortality in COVID-19 patients [21]. In this study mean CRP levels were elevated on day one, day three and day five in patients who died due to COVID-19.
Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) is a well-established inflammatory marker and can be easily calculated from blood count analysis which is routinely done in all patients. A rise in NLR signifies increased inflammatory process in COVID -19. One of the earliest studies from Wuhan, 8% increase in mortality was reported with each unit rise in NLR [22]. A meta-analysis conducted by Mahat et al observed that elevated NLR is associated with severe COVID-19 and increased mortality [23]. Many studies have shown that an increase in NLR can serve as an early warning sign of COVID-19. The baseline NLR was 5.7 in our study, and it progressively increased to 7.5 by day five, much higher than the cut off value described in most studies.
PLR, a novel inflammatory marker is inexpensive and can be easily obtained from total blood count. In a meta-analysis by Simadibrata et al., it was found that PLR on admission was elevated in patients with severe COVID-19 compared with those with mild disease [24]. PLR was also elevated in our study. Baseline PLR was 145.9 and it progressed to 173.9 on day five.
In a longitudinal study on inflammatory markers from Wuhan, China, it was reported that exuberant inflammatory responses within 24 hours of admission in patients with COVID-19 correlated with disease severity and mortality. The critically ill patients showed higher concentration of inflammatory markers like ferritin and CRP [25]. In our study in addition to the baseline inflammatory markers, we have assessed the serial progression of these markers. A definite progressive increase in the level of inflammatory markers was observed among cases when following them till death. A progressive increase in inflammatory markers in the initial days in patients with severe disease should be an indication for more aggressive management of the patient to reduce mortality. So, serial measurement of inflammatory markers is as important as baseline inflammatory markers to assess severity and to monitor progression in COVID-19.
On bivariate correlation analysis in our study, we have assessed the correlation between NLR and PLR with inflammatory markers. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between NLR and the inflammatory markers. In resource limited settings serial measurement of inflammatory markers will be difficult. In such situations, serial measurements of NLR can be done as a surrogate test to more expensive inflammatory markers.
Even though there was progressive increase in PLR over the five days, our study showed no significant correlation with ferritin and D-dimer on day three and day five. There was a negative correlation between all inflammatory markers and PLR on day one. All three days showed a negative correlation of PLR with CRP. Hence PLR cannot be used as a substitute for the inflammatory markers in COVID-19.
Global epidemiological data has shown a similar prevalence of viral infection between males and females. There is a definite difference between males and females in the severity of disease including mortality, with a more favourable outcome in females [26]. Previous reports have shown that inflammatory markers were higher in males compared to females [25, 27, 28]. But our study did not reveal any significant gender difference in inflammatory marker levels. Only severe cases resulting in death were included in our study resulting in higher inflammatory markers both in males and females without any difference.
The limitations of our study included the small sample size and the retrospective nature of the study. Effect of treatment including anti-inflammatory therapy like tocilizumab, systemic steroids and other supportive therapies also could not be studied, as this was a retrospective study. Another major limitation is lack of a control group of patients. Further research with a control group of COVID-19 patients who survived a severe infection requiring ICU care should be done to assess the difference in dynamics of inflammatory markers between survivors and deaths. This study was done in a tertiary care centre and the sample size is small. So, the findings of this study cannot be generalised for the population.
Even though the peak of COVID-19 infection is over worldwide, new mutations can result in further new waves of infection. Since COVID-19 infection spreads rapidly and does serious harm, it is important to anticipate in which patients it can be severe and fatal. Inflammatory markers have been widely studied in COVID-19 infection. In this retrospective cohort study of 104 patient's progressive increase of inflammatory markers has been observed in COVID-19 deaths. Serial measurements of inflammatory markers will be useful in intensive care units for early identifications of patients who may deteriorate. Progression of NLR has strong correlation with inflammatory markers and could be used as a surrogate marker to prioritise treatment in resource limited settings.

The sniper rifle is here, and people are often on this ledge sniping. If you shoot out the canisters that are tucked in the corner, anyone sniping on the ledge will instantly die.
There's a good hiding spot on both the left and right sides of the ramp that connects the southern section of the map to the rest of it. This is a good place to hang out with the ball in Oddball games.
You'll want to learn the map's vertical structure well—if you see blips on your motion tracker but don't see an enemy, they're likely right below you—you'll get them by surprise almost every time if you drop down behind them.
Atop this perch with a Battle Rifle is the location of the blue flag. This is a popular spot for players to pass through as they move around the level—if you jump on top of the walls surrounding the perch, you can see enemies coming up the walkways on either side letting you drop down and kill them before they know you're there.


A fake account, named after Indian Air Force (IAF) pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, has been created on micro-blogging site Twitter, according to government sources.
Varthaman returned home from Pakistan on Friday, two days after he was taken into custody by Pakistan Army when he bailed out from a MiG 21 fighter jet and landed in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
The Twitter handle "@Abhinandan_wc", which was formed last month itself, has over 2,000 followers. Several posts have been made from this account in English and Tamil.
However, government sources confirmed that the account does not belong to Varthaman.
In one of the photographs shared on the account, Abhinandan can be seen with Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. The two met on Saturday.
Another post shows Abhinandan with his family.
After a delay of over five hours, Varthaman stepped on the Indian soil through Wagah border, Amritsar in Punjab, on Friday night at 9.20 pm.
The pilot was captured by Pakistan Army on Wednesday after his fighter jet crashed in an air duel with a Pakistani F-16. He shot down the plane before his own went down, forcing him to eject.
A day after his return from Pakistan, he informed the top IAF brass that he was subjected to a lot of mental harassment, though he was not physically tortured by Pakistan military authorities, said a source.


My mother recently joked about an experience I had in maine a few years back, so I figured I would share the memory here. My wife and I were on a new england vacation, and had stopped in Cape Porpoise in Kennebunkport Maine to look around at several shops and I also wanted to do some photography. While there my wife got the brilliant idea to do a whale watch, but the idea of going 25 miles out to sea in a small boat was not my idea of fun,but since it was clear blue skies and totally calm seas, I said sure. We headed out and kept going and going and going, and about halfway out it gets cloudy, and I thought no big deal. When we are nearing the whale area, the captain comes on the loud-speaker to say conditions look like they are going to deteriorate and we wont be staying long. Well things did deteriorate rapidly and just as my wife tries to shoot a whale coming out of the water, I grab her to tell her how horrible I am feeling,and she basically says go get sick somewhere else so I can enjoy the whales. Anyway, the waves were rolling now at 6-8ft and the whole way back in, the captain literally was riding the waves with his boat till we crashed into waves ahead of us. I was certain we were going to be lost in this storm, and because I was sick, we sat on the outside of the boat as everyone huddled inside with life preservers on. The two parts of this trip that are the most indelibly etched in my mind are when I went inside to use the bathroom, everyone was watching me head to the door, and as I open the door, this poor woman is standing there with her clothes around her ankles and the whole crowd looking at her. I thought who lets a door unlocked in that state? The second memory is of these two teenage girls who stood on the very top of the boat in the front and screamed with utter joy as we crashed into each wave. I thought we were dead and they were having the time of their lives, so I guess it's all in your perspective. Needless to say whale watches are no longer high on my to do list. I remember getting to shore and hearing a crew member say, the captain told them it was the worst conditions he had ever navigated, but I am not sure what that meant since he was only about 25 years old. This photo was taken that day, but its nothing earth shattering.
Several people who know me have commented that they enjoy my light painting photos, but want to see more of my nature and scenic photography, so I will appease them with a shot I did in Acadia National Park one fall morning. I really love traveling to the New England states in autumn, because the landscapes and quaint villages make for some terrific possibilities. Many times in the past I have made the trek to Vermont and New Hampshire, only to find a nasty batch of bad weather has destroyed most of the fall color, or I am slightly early or late. After suffering through that situation several times, I started to have a back up plan each trip, and that turned out to be the great state of Maine. The beauty of Maine is the fact that even if the color is a flop, you can hit places like Acadia National Park, which is really quite spectacular. It features a rugged rock lined coast, lovely pines, crashing surf and more. The title of my post refers to the fact that I headed to this mountaintop overlook Four days in a row, and on the very last day I was rewarded with this sunrise. This view is from Cadillac mountain in Acadia, which is the highest point along the atlantic seaboard and the first place you can see the sunrise in the United States. Each day before this one was full of nasty winds, rain, thick fog,etc, but this day awoke to the ocean being covered in a spectacular wave of rolling fog. The Sun made an appearance and provided the finishing touch to the scene. All the mornings of getting up an hour and a half before dawn for nothing great, were soon forgotten as I took in the awesome scene before me.
A few tidbits of info for anyone contemplating visiting Acadia or anywhere along the coast of maine. First take plenty of high-capacity memory cards, wake early and see things that 99 percent of tourists miss by sleeping in. Next, if you are one that likes to get unique perspectives, be aware that if you fall in the surf or get washed out in Maine, chances are fairly good that you are finished. Maine pretty much figures if you are brave or stupid enough to be pulled in, that's your problem. I basically like that view and will tell two simple stories of my escapades in Maine.
The first is from a trip I took to Acadia years ago, and as I was working the rocky coast, I made my way along a ledge that lead to a small cove of rocks that was almost ten feet high by about twenty feet wide. I was dazzled by the crashing surf on the rocks below,which were at least 8 feet below me,and even though I knew the tide was coming in, I was oblivious to that fact. After about thirty minutes of shooting, I noticed the ledge I came in on, was now under two feet of water. If you ever had a scare where you feel your heart racing, then you know what I felt at that moment. My only possible way out was to climb the sheer walls in this cove, and I did that by using my Gitzo tripod,which is very strong,and I literally stood on it to reach the top. All this while The surf was spraying me occasionally and getting closer. It was a real eye opener, because had The surf got me, that would have been all she wrote.
My next memory of Maine involves a trip to the Portland Headlight, which in my view is a very gorgeous lighthouse. Anyway, as usual,they have a fence to kind of keep you off the rocks, but again, if you are after that special image, you most certainly feel the call to jump that fence. I have ventured into this usually very safe landscape of granite many times, and gotten great images over the years. On this particular trip I was somewhat close to the ocean, but I was standing on a mountain of a rock that no kidding was at least 25 feet high and 20 feet square.This rock was far enough and high enough from the crashing surf that the incoming waves were only just nipping at the rock next to mine. To get a clear picture, imagine you are on a 25 foot high rock and there is a two foot gap to the next rock and you can look down and see surf at the bottom. wave after wave mildly washed around the bottom few feet of these house sized monsters. As I was looking through the viewfinder, I hear a thunderous crash and look up to see the entire rock next to mine covered, the 25 ft deep crevasse filled with water and water washing up to my ankles. If you have never heard the term, rogue wave, familiarize yourself with it, before hitting Maine. Those memories are forever etched in my mind because of the intensity of the experience.
Okay, one more funny one,to me anyway. I was photographing at the pemaquid lighthouse one fall morning. There was only one other guy there shooting. I said hi and noticed a small sticker on his tripod that said John Shaw. I asked why he had a John Shaw sticker and he said well, it's because I am John Shaw. For anyone who does not know him, he is a fairly well-known nature photographer who has published numerous books. I had all his books, but in person, he looked different than I remembered. He was very cordial, left me load a roll of 220 velvia slide film in his fuji panoramic camera and shoot a series with it. I was dazzled by the meeting and even had my wife snap our picture together.
With temperatures climbing past 60 degrees today, I started to reminisce about a couple of images from the Virginia Beach Neptune Festival a few years ago. Art comes in many forms and I am always amazed what these sand sculptors create with several million grains of sand. These are good examples of getting up before the rest of the world to get images others rarely see. Now I can only hope for a good arctic blast to set everything back on its proper course, and maybe get some snow sculptures instead.

Cooper-Young Parking Lot Woes
By Idil Issak and Miriam Hegner/MicroMemphis reporters
With a booming restaurant district Cooper Young has become the destination for Memphians looking for good food, music, and drinks. On any given weekend Cooper Young transforms from a quiet artistic bohemian enclave to a buzzing vibrant night scene, with local music and cuisine. With all success however comes a downfall and with C-Y - it's the lack of parking.
Cooper-Young didn't plan on becoming a popular destination for diners and was not prepared for the parking confusion that would come with it. An issue that is frustrating to some residents of CY who feel that it's creating unwanted noise and congestion of residential streets. Which is why the Cooper-Young business association has proposed plans for parking space to accommodate the influx.
Initially the plan was a two-level parking deck with 102 spaces near First Congregational Church.
"But we changed gears," explains Tamara Cook, director of the Cooper-Young Business Association. Their current plan is to make an all-surface parking lot, well lit, with landscaping, fitting better into the neighbourhood.
"First Congo did not approve of the plans for the parking deck up against their playground. So we tried to find a solution that makes First Congo happy."
The space for the parking lot would combine several existing parking lots, one empty lot, and one house that would have to be demolished. It would be situated between Beauty Shop and First Congo, with an exit on Blythe.
There is no set timeframe yet. "It depends on when we get the funding."
The Business Association is hoping that they will receive funding from the city for the project, and that upon completion, the parking would be free of cost to those parking there.
What do residents think?
Kasie, University of Memphis alumni, lives in Cooper-Young, close to the area where the suggested parking lot would be located. Other residents might worry that this would mean more traffic on their doorstep, but Kasie is in favor of the plans. "There is so much traffic already, especially when people circle around looking for parking. I think a parking lot would actually decrease traffic and congestions."
Shannon Williams is a Cooper-Young resident and is a supporter of the proposed parking he thinks that more parking spaces are needed in the area. "I guess there are pros and cons to a parking garage. But a parking lot would be good. As long as they don't level anything, I would say: go for it!"
But what about those who come to C-Y for its great restaurants and shops?
Elizabeth, a senior from Rhodes College, thinks a parking lot in Cooper-Young would be a good idea. She goes out in the area every now and then. "Every single time it's difficult to park, a parking lot would really help. Also, it would make the neighborhood more walkable."
