Isolation and Molecular Characterization of Multidrug-Resistant Salmonella, Shigella and Proteus from Domestic Birds
Aly E. Abo-Amer
Mohammed Y. Shobrak
The increase in multidrug-resistant enteric bacteria, especially Salmonella, Shigella and Proteus in poultry has become a significant public health threat. Therefore, this work was aimed to investigate whether domestic birds have a role in the emergence and transmission of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in Taif province. Salmonella, Shigella and Proteus were isolated from different types of healthy domestic birds (n=42) collected from different places. Bacterial isolates were recovered from cloacal swabs of birds by non-selective and selective pre-enrichment technique. One hundred and sixty six bacterial isolates were screened for antibiotic susceptibility such as Cefaclor, Oxacillin, Ampicillin, Chloramphenicol, Cephalexin, Neomycin, Colistin, Ciprofloxacin, Oxytetracycline, Norfloxacin, Lincomycin, Gentamycin, Amoxicillin, Enrofloxacin and Piperacillin. The MDR bacterial isolates were identified using morphological, biochemical characteristics, and confirmed by API 20E strips, serological tests and 16S rRNA analysis. Forty-eight percent of the collected birds were positive for drug-resistant pathogenic bacteria including Salmonella, Shigella and Proteus. Phenotypic characterization was proved by PCR amplification of invA and mdh genes. The MDR bacterial isolates were found to harbour the plasmid-encoded multi-drug resistance. These results revealed that poultry might serve as a reservoir of multidrug-resistant Salmonella, Shigella and Proteus, and could be a possible mean of distribution of these pathogens to human.

Attached is a copy of Executive Order 928, which supersedes Executive Order 675. Executive Order 928 provides the procedures for filing and processing discrimination, harassment and retaliation complaints for employees who are not eligible to file a complaint or grievance under a collective bargaining agreement or whose collective bargaining agreement incorporates CSU systemwide complaint procedure for such purposes. This executive order provides guidelines for handling discrimination, harassment and retaliation claims that are either not formalized in a written complaint or not filed timely.
In accordance with the policy of the California State University, the campus president has the responsibility for implementing Executive Order 928 and for maintaining the campus repository and index for all executive orders.
This executive order provides employees the opportunity to file complaints alleging they were either discriminated against or harassed on the basis of a protected status or they were retaliated against for raising a discrimination/harassment claim, filing a discrimination/harassment complaint or participating in a discrimination/harassment investigation. This executive order is only available to: (1) employees who are not eligible to file a discrimination, harassment or retaliation complaint or grievance under a collective bargaining agreement; and (2) employees in bargaining units whose collective bargaining agreements have incorporated the CSU systemwide complaint procedure for such purposes.
There is currently no systemwide complaint procedure for applicants and independent contractors to file similar allegations. Yet, their allegations must be investigated to comply with nondiscrimination laws that protect applicants from discrimination, harassment and retaliation and independent contractors from harassment and retaliation. Consequently, each campus shall provide for these investigations by having in place a complaint procedure to handle allegations from applicants and independent contractors. Such a procedure shall designate several persons to whom an allegation can be brought.
Campuses shall include, as part of their training and orientation programs, information on this executive order. They shall also post the information in an area where employees are likely to see it and distribute the information to employees on an annual basis.
The senior director of employee relations in the Office of the Chancellor will be responsible for evaluating compliance with this executive order and for providing assistance in the development of campus and systemwide complaint procedures to handle discrimination, harassment and retaliation allegations.
A.	The California State University (CSU), through its chancellor and presidents, is committed to the equitable and prompt response to any allegation of discrimination, harassment or retaliation made by an employee.
B.	Should discrimination, harassment or retaliation be found to exist in any employment action within CSU, all appropriate measures shall be taken to prevent recurrence and to remedy any effects on the claimant/complainant and others, if appropriate. Furthermore, should findings be made of discrimination, harassment or retaliation on the part of any CSU employee, appropriate action, including possible disciplinary action against the perpetrator, shall be taken under the direction of the president or chancellor, as applicable.
This procedure shall apply to CSU employees, as defined below, who are not eligible to file a discrimination, harassment or retaliation complaint or grievance under a collective bargaining agreement or whose collective bargaining agreement incorporates CSU systemwide complaint procedure for such purposes.
A.	"Employee" includes any full- or part-time CSU employee, whether permanent, tenured, probationary, temporary, intermittent, casual employment, or Management Personnel Plan employee.
B.	"Claimant" refers to an employee who has made a discrimination, harassment or retaliation claim under Section V of this executive order.
C.	"Complainant" refers to an employee who is eligible to file, and has filed, a written formal discrimination, harassment or retaliation complaint under Section VI of this executive order.
D.	"Complaint" refers to a written formal allegation filed by a complainant under Section VI of this executive order.
E.	"Representative" refers to a union representative from the claimant or complainant's collective bargaining unit, or another individual who may serve as a representative of an employee entitled to such representation under the provisions of this executive order.
F.	The terms "Respond" and "File" refer to personal delivery or deposit in the U.S. Mail, certified with return receipt requested. If personal delivery is used, the calendar date of delivery shall establish the date of response or filing. If certified mail delivery is used, the postmark shall establish the date of response or filing.

Prior to or instead of filing a written formal complaint under Section VI of this executive order, an employee (claimant) may seek to meet with the campus administrator responsible for administering CSU nondiscrimination, anti-harassment and non-retaliation policies, or a campus administrator designated by the president (or chancellor, if the employee works at the Chancellor's Office), to determine the nature of any discrimination/harassment/retaliation claim and to explore a resolution of the claim. Such claimant must be given information on how to file a formal complaint during this meeting.
B.	The claimant should request this meeting no later than twenty days after the event giving rise to the claim or no later than twenty days after the claimant knew or reasonably should have known of the event giving rise to the claim. The claimant and campus administrator should meet as soon thereafter as possible, but no later than fourteen days after the claimant has requested the meeting.
C.	The employee may have a representative present during the discussion of the claim with the campus administrator.
D.	Whenever possible, the campus administrator shall attempt to resolve the claim at the Informal Level. A resolution at the Informal Level shall be documented.
E.	The campus administrator may decide an informal resolution is inappropriate and/or that the circumstances described by the claimant warrant investigation. The campus administrator should invite the claimant to file a formal written complaint pursuant to Section VI of this executive order if the campus administrator concludes that an investigation is warranted.
F.	If the claimant decides to file a formal written complaint, the investigation shall be conducted pursuant to Sections VI and VIII of this executive order.
G.	If the campus administrator concludes that an investigation is warranted but the claimant declines to file a formal written complaint at this time, the investigation shall nevertheless be conducted.

D.	If an investigation is deemed not warranted, the campus administrator shall respond to the complainant in a timely manner, explaining why no investigation is conducted.
E.	If an investigation is deemed warranted, the investigator shall hold a meeting with the complainant and the complainant's representative, if any, at a mutually acceptable time and location.

The complainant may present no additional issues after Level I.
G.	The investigator shall carefully review the issues raised by the complainant and conduct an investigation pursuant to Sections VI and VIII of this executive order.

E.	Generally, the Level II response should include a summary of the allegations, a description of the investigative process, the standard used to determine whether a violation of policy occurred, the evidence considered and a determination of whether the allegations were substantiated. The Level II response shall be the final decision.
A.	The person who conducts an investigation under this executive order may be the campus administrator in charge of administering CSU policies on nondiscrimination, anti-harassment and non-retaliation or someone else designated by the president/chancellor, provided that he/she shall be an MPP employee or an external consultant, who is not within the administrative control or authority of the person alleged to have discriminated, harassed or retaliated, and was not involved in the investigation at the lower level(s), if any. All investigations under this executive order shall be conducted in a reliable and impartial manner.
B.	CSU employees are required to cooperate with the investigation, be forthright and honest, and keep confidential the existence and details of the investigation.
C.	The investigation shall include, at a minimum, formal interviews with the claimant/complainant and the person alleged to have discriminated or harassed (i.e., the respondent).
D.	Both the claimant/complainant and the respondent shall have the right to identify witnesses and other evidence for consideration in connection with the investigation; however, the investigator may decide which witnesses are relevant to the investigation.
E.	The claimant/complainant may have a representative present during his/her meeting with the campus administrator and/or the investigator to discuss the discrimination or harassment claim/complaint. Where the respondent is a CSU employee and the allegations are such that, if true, they could reasonably subject the respondent to discipline, then the respondent shall be permitted to have a representative accompany him/her to the interview.
F.	(1)	Time limits set forth herein refer to working days, which are Monday through Friday, excluding all officially recognized University holidays or closure of the campus where the claim/complaint originated.
(2)	If the claimant/complainant, the respondent, the witnesses, the campus administrator, the investigator, or the Chancellor's Office designee is on an approved leave of three days or more, the time limits shall be extended by the length of time the individual is absent.
(3)	Time limits set forth herein may also be extended by mutual agreement. If the University requests a time extension in order to conduct an effective investigation and the claimant/complainant does not agree, the University will issue a response within the timeline of this executive order based on the information available at that time. The investigation shall continue until the University is satisfied its duty to respond appropriately to allegations of discrimination, harassment or retaliation has been discharged, provided the investigation is completed no later than one hundred twenty days after the meeting is held between the claimant and the campus administrator or between the complainant and the individual designated to respond, as applicable.
G.	CSU is not obligated under this executive order to investigate a complaint not timely filed under its provisions. An untimely filed complaint may not be re-filed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CSU shall investigate the underlying allegations in an untimely filed discrimination, harassment or retaliation complaint if CSU determines the circumstances warrant investigation. The investigation conducted in such a circumstance does not resurrect the employee's complaint or permit a subsequent filing of that complaint. The response issued at the conclusion of the investigation will note that the complaint was untimely filed. The investigation shall be conducted under the Informal Level procedure of this executive order.
H.	A complainant may withdraw a complaint at any time. The complainant shall not be entitled to file any subsequent complaint on the same alleged incident under the Formal Level procedure of this executive order. Although the complainant is barred from filing subsequent complaints on the same incident, the underlying allegations of a withdrawn discrimination, harassment or retaliation complaint shall be investigated if CSU determines the circumstances warrant investigation. The investigation conducted in such a circumstance does not resurrect the employee's complaint or permit a subsequent filing of that complaint. The response issued at the conclusion of the investigation will note that the complaint was withdrawn. The investigation shall be conducted under the Informal Level procedure of this executive order.
I.	If, after an investigation has been conducted, the president/chancellor concludes it is reasonably likely that CSU policy against discrimination, harassment or retaliation was violated, he/she will take prompt and appropriate measures to remedy any damage done by the violation and to prevent any further violations.
J.	Failure by the University to respond timely shall permit the complaint to be filed at the next level.
K.	By mutual agreement, the complainant and the University may consolidate complaints on similar issues at any level.
L.	Taking into account campus operational needs, CSU shall provide the claimant and representative, if any, one hour release time for preparation of the claim and reasonable time for presenting the claim at the Informal Level upon their request.
M.	Taking into account campus operational needs, CSU shall provide the complainant and a representative, if any, reasonable release time for preparing and presenting the complaint upon their request.
N.	Where it is necessary for the complainant or his/her representative to have access to specific information for the purpose of investigating a complaint, the complainant or his/her representative shall make a written request for such information to the appropriate administrator. The complainant or his/her representative shall have access to information within the policies and procedures and laws governing confidentiality and privacy that are relevant to any issue raised in the complaint. This provision does not authorize a complainant access to the personnel files of another without the written consent of that person.

A few weeks ago, Elvis Costello released his collaborative album with American hip-hop band The Roots, Wise Up Ghost. As many people are aware, The Roots also happens to be Jimmy Fallon's house band on his TV show, and two days ago Fallon switched Elvis with Ylvis, as the Norwegian comedy duo played their first ever live version of "The Fox" backed by the wonderful The Roots. A truly crazy performance as the duo with Fallon along for the ride replicated the video that has become such a YouTube phenomenon.

50 Years ago today, the city and its police force experienced the third day of rioting in West Dayton, a riot that began on September 1, 1966. This was a major incident in local law enforcement history and the third time in which the military had to be called in to assist officers in protecting the community (1913 and 1948 the other two).
The Dayton Daily News will begin a three-part series in the Sunday print edition called "Lasting Scars: The 1966 West Dayton riot."
To learn far more about the state of the community in 1966 and the violence the continued in West Dayton with serial killings over four successive summers, read the book "Blood in the Streets: Racism, Riots and Murders in the Heartland of America."
This book was authored by retired Dayton Police Lt. Dan Baker and his wife, Gwen Nalls. It is available at Amazon.com and ForensicPublications.com and at many book outlets.

Since at least 2002, when Jeb Bush and a super-majority of Republicans passed legislation eliminating important workers' rights, Florida's workers' compensation system has been unfair and unbalanced. One circuit court judge has declared it unconstitutional — Florida's Workers' Compensation System Unconstitutional, So Says 11th Circuit Court Judge Jorge Cueto.
The time is approaching when the Florida Supreme Court may agree with Judge Cueto.
Not surprisingly, the good Judge Cueto's ruling has been appealed by Florida Attorney General Pam Biondi — There She Goes Again — Pam Bondi, Florida's Attorney General, Appeals Workers' Compensation Ruling. It will likely be years before this case works it way to resolution through the appellate process. If the Republican-dominated Florida Legislature were smart, instead of so cravenly selfish and greedy, it would replace the current system with a fair and balanced workers' compensation system to avoid the Armageddon surely to follow if the system is declared unconstitutional. Good luck with that.
WHETHER THE AWARD OF ATTORNEY'S FEES IN THIS CASE IS ADEQUATE, AND CONSISTENT WITH THE ACCESS TO COURTS, DUE PROCESS, EQUAL PROTECTION, AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS OF THE FLORIDA AND FEDERAL CONSTITUTIONS.
If recent happenings are any indication, the Supreme Court is likely to answer with a resounding NO!
The current majority of Florida's Supreme Court justices are fair and reasonable human beings. While Florida Supreme Court justices are appointed, every six years they face a retention vote. No justice has ever failed to be retained and, until 2012, no political party has ever actively sought the ouster of a justice through the retention process. In 2012, the Republican Party came off the sideline to seek the ouster of the three justices (Parienti, Lewis, and Quince), each a moderate, up for retention vote. Why? The right-wing disdains moderation. Thankfully, each jurist survived the right-wing onslaught by a large majority.
While these justices and the rest of the reasonable moderate majority are above petty politics, the misguided retention vote fiasco together with years of right-wing overreach and abuse have gotten the court to focus its attention on righting wrongs.
In my opinion, the most telling indication of the likely outcome in Castellanos, comes from the Supreme Court's March 13, 2014 ruling in McCall v. United States of America. The court declared unconstitutional Florida's arbitrary caps on non-economic damages resulting from medical malpractice related wrongful death. It determined that the information provided to the Florida Legislature by then-Governor Bush's Select Task Force on Healthcare Professional Liability Insurance (Task Force Report) (Jan. 29, 2003) to warrant the caps was bogus. In other words, Bush's people cooked the books. (See this blog: Power to the People! Florida's Arbitrary and Capricious Medical Malpractice Damage Caps Declared Unconstitutional). Think Weapons of Mass Destruction.
In Florida, the pendulum has swung far too far to the right. Real everyday hardworking people have been hurt, sometimes decimated, by Republican excess. Now is the time to correct those excesses.
The Perfect Storm is upon us.

This propaganda leaflet was dropped by German airplanes behind American lines during World War I. Nearly 370,000 African Americans were drafted into the U.S. Army starting in the fall of 1917 (they were not allowed to join the Marines, and the Navy took African Americans only as cooks and kitchen help). Although more than half of the black troops were in combat units, they remained segregated from white troops. Subjected to racist harassment (including demeaning insults from white officers), black troops were continually reminded of their second-class citizenship. By stressing racist conditions in the United States, leaflets such as this attempted to destroy morale and encourage desertion among African-American troops.

If you plan on visiting the MOMA then set aside some time to stop by The Modern...you won't regret it. Located on the street level, The Modern has a general public entrance so you do not actually have to have a museum ticket to enjoy this little delight. I first stumbled across this place when Mr. Z and I visited NYC to see Tim Burton's exhibit last year after a grueling 24 hour flight from the other side of the world. We didn't have any reservations and it was a very busy lunch so we sat at the bar where luckily the full menu was available. The food was suitably the work of artists both in presentation and in taste but what really seared this establishment into my mind was the beignets we had for dessert.
This little delight of deep-fried dough with a trio of maple ice cream, caramel and mango chutney was recommended to us by a fellow patron sitting at the bar who was clearly a frequent diner. And now I highly recommend to other future patrons.
I started with the Slow poached farm egg in a jar as per the menu name with Maine lobster and a sea urchin froth. Does that not just sound divine? All I would need is a freshly baked brioche and this may make the ultimate breakfast. As I delicately tried to scoop up the egg, the slightly runny warm egg yolk gushes out to mix with the salty froth and smothers the bite-sized lobster flesh creating a creamy seafood infused sauce.
To accompany I tried a very refreshing Lychee puree mixed with soda and embellished with slices of sugar caramelized ginger. Naturally sweetened by the lychee and yet nicely diluted by the soda provides a great palate cleanser between dishes.
Mr. Z started with the Fresh grilled shrimp which came with a light cabbage salad. Although this is not a particularly unique dish it was nevertheless delicious.
We shared four mains. The first was a Homemade Alsatian country sausage which came with sauerkraut and whole grain mustard sauce. As you can see this is not the beer garden version but apart from the missing bear it was deliciously spicy and juicy.
The Creekstone farm beef tenderloin with bread pudding, wild mushrooms and mustard jus was amazingly well prepared for those who like their meat on the rarer side as is my preference. Juicy, tender and lightly seasoned with the savoury sauce. Main downside of this dish was that the bread pudding accompaniment had absorbed the sauce as per design but the sauce leaned a little bit too much on the salty side. The Modern however is very accommodating and were very humble in their reception of my comments - a welcome quality in all restaurants.
The Potato fromage blanc gnocchi with escargot wild mushroom and garlic was hearty wintery meal. A little bit soft on the outside but not overcooked.
To finish I had to try their hot chocolate and even this was well presented. The drink itself was the typical creamy hot milk with a dash of chocolate (rather than what I consider "hot chocolate: - yes I'm a snob about this!) but it was at least not watered down. The marshmallows are presented skewered and slightly submerged so they are warm and partially melted pleasing both melted marshmallow lovers (Mr Z) and those who are just interested in the hot chocolate itself. The drink also comes with a little square of fudge brownie…which slightly made up for the lack of chocolate in the drink.
And as this was the main draw card for my return we did not leave without our fulfillment of beignets. The warm freshly fried beignets, sweet sticky caramel, cool ice cream and the sweet and tart mango chutney did not fail us and was as good as the first time we had it. This is only one of two restaurants where I have seen beignets on the menu. I really love it and if anyone has suggestions where I can get some good biegnets I'm most happy to be directed.
What I enjoy about the Modern is the presentation and the tiny servings the dishes come in allowing the diner a chance to better enjoy a greater variety of artistic food. I would highly recommend anyone visiting the MOMA to plan for a visit to the Modern for lunch…or if not then at least some beignets for afternoon tea.
Food: Art that you can eat.
Service: Once again excellent service.
Damage: $15-20 for small dishes and $20-30 for the larger dishes.

That's all, folks! April the Giraffe live stream goes dark
April the giraffe gives birth before online audience
HARPURSVILLE, New York (WABC) -- That's all, folks! After nearly two months of captivating hundreds of millions around the world, Animal Adventure Park's live stream of the recently-very-pregnant April the giraffe is no more.
April gave birth to her baby last Saturday morning around 10 a.m., and viewers continued to watch as the new mom introduced her son to the world.
A quick check in from our end!
All is well and we have a cute shot of mom and baby enjoying breakfast!

But all good things must come to an end, and the giraffe cam went dark on Friday, April 21, at 4:30 p.m. EST.
To be continued... pic.twitter.com/CLAF9GDZZf
The park made the announcement on its Facebook page late Monday amid a flurry of messages from fans concerned April had a slight limp. The park says April's leg injury was minor and was much better Tuesday.
The giraffe cam made Animal Adventure Park the second most live-viewed channel in YouTube's history, with more than 232 million live views since February. More than 1.2 million viewers were watching when April gave birth Saturday.
The calf weighed 129 pounds (58.5 kilograms) and stood 5-foot-9 at birth, and he is nursing well and has had his first vet checkup.
This is the corner our little guy prefers - inconveniently out of camera view! 😅 Baby continues to gain (adorably) pic.twitter.com/uO229weHiS
The zoo team said April has recovered "perfectly" and is eating "everything in sight."
The 15-year-old giraffe delivered her calf in an enclosed pen at the zoo in Harpursville, about 130 miles northwest of New York City. The mama giraffe tenderly licked her calf, which began to slowly pick its head up from the floor of the pen. About 45 minutes after it was born, the calf stood on its wobbly legs for the first time while mom helped keep her baby steady.
April had the baby with Oliver, a 5-year-old giraffe, according to Animal Adventure. This is Oliver's first calf, but April knows the drill - this is her fourth.
The privately owned zoo began live-streaming from April's enclosure in February. Millions of people around the world have been tuning in daily.
A look at the moment April gave birth:
Raw video of April the Giraffe
April was pregnant for 16 months, just over the normal gestation time for a giraffe. She will raise her calf naturally, and weaning could take between 6 to 10 months, maybe longer. Oliver, however, will not assist in raising the calf. Male giraffes, according to Animal Adventure Park, "only really care about two things - fighting and the unmentionable."
A look at April's calf standing for the first time:
Raw video from April 2017 shows Tajiri, April the giraffe's baby, learning to stand.
April has her own website and even an apparel line. A GoFundMe fundraiser page that initially set a goal of $50,000 sat at more than $125,000 on Saturday morning. The money will be used for the care of the animals.
Because of fears of inbreeding, the calf will be relocated to another facility once the weaning process is over.
Animal Adventure is planning a contest to name the calf!

Check Your Statements - Bank Fees Galore!
I've been hearing from a lot of people that their bank has recently started charging account fees, and now it has happened to me. I have a small account with the State Employees Credit Union from my home state. I've always used that money as my really, really bad emergency fund. It wasn't much, but it was inaccessible (good for me) and the interest rates were good.
When my husband was deployed a few years back, I scrounged up every cent I could find to put in his Savings Deposit Program (SDP) account. I took nearly all of the money out of my not-so-secret stash and left just a little bit of money in there to keep the account active. I recently decided to use that account for a particular savings goal and was shocked to discover that the account was closed and it had a negative balance. It seems that the terms of the account changed at the new year, and there was a quarterly fee for having less than $250 in the account. Two quarterly fees later, the account was in the negative and was automatically closed. It seems that the information was included in my electronic account statements, but I hadn't been opening them because I thought there was no activity on the account.
The current economy is making it hard for banks to thrive without fees, and even the most consumer friendly banks and credit unions are being forced to cut benefits and raise costs for their customers. That isn't the end of the world, as long as you've chosen the right bank for your situation, but you aren't making a good decision if the terms of the account have changed and you didn't know it. Read your monthly statements. Open your mail, and your email. When you see something odd on your statement, ask and find out what is going on.

Planning and Zoning blasts Wantz for blindsiding with Freedom Plan
By Jennifer Turiano
| Carroll County Times |
Aug 29, 2018 | 8:30 PM
The Planning and Zoning Commission discussed at its Wednesday, Aug. 29, meeting the recent decision made by county commissioners to take the Freedom Community Comprehensive Plan back from the commission after 10 months of work.
Ex-officio commission member Stephen Wantz, county commissioner for District 1, took responsibility for being the third vote in a 3-1-1 decision made at last Thursday's Board of County Commissioners meeting — with Commissioner Dennis Frazier, R-District 3, voting against it and Commissioner Richard Weaver, R-District 2, abstaining.
"I would like to say something," Wantz said to P&Z Commission members. "It's not the elephant in the room; it's probably a herd of them right now. So I'll give you my take — and let's be clear, I'll give you my take because it was me.
"I don't know how many times that we acknowledged and we thanked, that we talked about all the progress and all the work that all of you put into this plan," Wantz said. "We did it time and time again and I don't want it to go unnoticed because I think it's very important to say that."
But the county commissioner said, as he said at the BOCC meeting on Aug, 23, that his choice to support taking back the Freedom Plan came down to fairness.
[More Maryland news] Artscape street closures start Monday, and the festival boundaries have changed. Here's what you need to know to get around. »
The current iteration of the plan has been in the hands of the Planning and Zoning Commission since the BOCC remanded it in October 2017. Since then, the commission has made changes requested by the BOCC — like editing the mission statement, expanding future land use definitions, changes to the proposed Planned Unit Development, possible future changes to sewer and water maps, and properties that will have changing land use designations.
Commissioners take back control of Freedom Plan, vow to finish it by December
Wantz said he wanted to thank the commission for all that work.
After completing those tasks, P&Z held a public hearing this summer and decided to order a traffic study for the areas around certain large properties after residents expressed concerns. It would be the final action before P&Z made final decisions on any area density changes.
But it was the traffic study that was the last straw for the Board of Commissioners — especially as the clock continued ticking away toward the date when Rothschild and Howard will step down from their positions representing the Freedom Area.
Wantz said it has always been a priority to get the plan finished before the two commissioners left office in December.

"I was all over the map right up to the time that this decision was made," Wantz said. "I think and truly believe that it was not fair for Commissioner Rothschild and Commissioner Howard, because let's be clear: The traffic study would have put it into a place where it would not have been able to be accomplished by this current Board of Commissioners."
Commission members said that they appreciated Wantz taking responsibility for the Freedom Plan's abrupt change of hands, but recognized it was the two departing commissioners who spearheaded the move.
And that they agreed with Planning and Zoning Commission Chair Richard Soisson's comments last week that it was "a slap in the face," even though he was not present Wednesday evening to defend it.
"I support him in that way because that's how I felt," said commission member Jeff Wothers. "I don't know if that's helpful, but I know everyone around the table [has] given up a lot to be here at this time, and we take this responsibility seriously."
Wothers said he was disappointed the commission essentially wasted 50 to 100 hours of their time, individually, and that the reason the Board of Commissioners cited for taking the plan back — that it was of highest priority to complete the plan before Howard and Rothschild leave office — is one that he hadn't heard before.
Editorial: Commissioners undo work of planning commission by taking back Freedom Plan
Aug 28, 2018 | 6:00 AM
"I do not remember that highest priority ever being articulated in the letter from Nov. 16, 2017," he said. "This highest priority isn't even mentioned — so the noting that retroactively the highest priority is speed is difficult to process."
It is especially difficult for him to process, Wothers said, when it is a complete about-face from the decision the Board of County Commissioners made to hold off on approving the county's master plan eight years ago.
"The approach taken at this time by the BOCC is absolutely, in my view, inconsistent with the approach taken for the [2014 Carroll] County Master Plan when the BOCC asked us to hold off until the new board came in," he said, "the notion being the new board would have to implement and enforce it."
Wothers' point is one Frazier made at Thursday's Board of County Commissioners meeting, to which Howard and Rothschild said the situation was not comparable.
Rothschild also said this week that taking back the plan was not politicizing the process — a statement exactly opposite of that which he said in 2015 when legislation giving the Board of County Commissioners that power was passed by the Maryland General Assembly.

In May 2015, Howard and Rothschild both expressed skepticism with the legislation in interviews with the Times, citing concerns it may render a lot of hard work by the planning commission moot and politicize the process. At the time, Rothschild said while it would be appropriate for the commissioners to make minor changes to these plans, the bill "went too far."
"Now it opens up the chance all the public input and work put in by the planning commission is rejected," Rothschild said then. "By going too far, [the bill] will risk further politicizing the plan by opening it up to a second round of review. … Too much latitude renders the planning commission irrelevant."
At the Planning and Zoning meeting Wednesday, commission member Dan Hoff said that's exactly what was happening.
"We are talking about politics being interjected here," Hoff said. "To me this is all about politics. This is about the fact that Commissioner Howard and Commissioner Rothschild are leaving office and there will be two new commissioners here. ... They desperately want to be the ones to have the decision related to this plan.
"I'm glad Soisson said what he said. It was a slap in the face to this commission," said Hoff. "And I find it kind of amusing that at that meeting you kept on asking Lynda [Eisenberg, acting director of the Planning Department], questions. Soisson was in the room. Not once did anyone ask Soisson to comment. And to add insult to injury, instead of waiting a week so that the light of day could be exposed on this subject … you all took the vote then."

Others expressed their disappointment as well.
Commission member Alec Yeo asked Wantz what the urgency was to make a decision the day the issue was brought up without giving any time to discuss it with Planning and Zoning. He said if the Board of County Commissioners has just asked for the current iteration of the plan, P&Z could have given it to them without the traffic study.
Freedom Plan hearing draws criticism, residents reluctant to change
Even a heads-up would have been helpful, said Yeo.
"People have reached out to me with more trivial things," he said.
"I'm proud of what we've done," Yeo said, "and [what] this commission's done and [what] staff has done for this group. And I think the product that you have asked us for is a better product a more complete plan, and it involves lots of public hours as well as staff hours, and hopefully you'll be able to consider that.

"But we wouldn't want this to go down in the books as a truncated process for the two members of the board, if that's what ends up going down," he said. "Twenty years from now, that's the sentence that will be spoken if the plan was stopped short of what its true intent could have been."
Wantz said, however it may seem, that their work for the past 10 months will not have been in vain though. The Board of County Commissioners wants the better product the commission produced.
"Trust me," he said. "I'll tell you I will do as much as possible to throw it in the face of the other four [commissioners] to show that everything you've done until this point gets through."
The P&Z Commission voted unanimously to seek legal counsel because its members were uncertain the decision the Board of County Commissioners made was legal. After taking a recess, they found that the counsel recused herself due to a conflict of interest. The commission then voted unanimously to seek alternate outside legal counsel.

Q: Predict_classes() keras model ValueError: Input 0 of layer sequential_1 is incompatible with the layer: Okay I'm new to this I'm trying to classify Traffic Sign images Im actually  following a notebook from Kaggle, after building the Keras model
from keras.models import Sequential
from keras.layers import Conv2D, MaxPool2D, Dense, Flatten, Dropout

model = Sequential()
model.add(Conv2D(filters=32, kernel_size=(5,5), activation='relu', input_shape=X_train.shape[1:]))
model.add(Conv2D(filters=64, kernel_size=(3, 3), activation='relu'))
model.add(MaxPool2D(pool_size=(2, 2)))
model.add(Dropout(rate=0.25))
model.add(Conv2D(filters=64, kernel_size=(3, 3), activation='relu'))
model.add(MaxPool2D(pool_size=(2, 2)))
model.add(Dropout(rate=0.25))
model.add(Flatten())
model.add(Dense(256, activation='relu'))
model.add(Dropout(rate=0.5))
model.add(Dense(43, activation='softmax'))

#Compilation of the model
model.compile(
    loss='categorical_crossentropy',
    optimizer='adam',
    metrics=['accuracy']
)

now for the test part after fitting the model the code i found is like this
y_test=pd.read_csv("C:/Users/Louay/input/test.csv")
labels=y_test['Path'].to_numpy()
y_test=y_test['ClassId'].values

data=[]

for f in labels:
    image=cv2.imread('C:/Users/Louay/input/Test/'+f.replace('Test/', ''))
    image_from_array = Image.fromarray(image, 'RGB')
    size_image = image_from_array.resize((height, width))
    data.append(np.array(size_image))

X_test=np.array(data)
X_test = X_test.astype('float32')/255
pred = model.predict_classes(X_test)

this works and it predicts the classes of all images in the test set correctly my problem is when I tried to predict only 1 image from the test set okay I thought I would repeat the same image processing part and then use predict_classes() so my code should be like this
image=cv2.imread('C:/Users/Louay/input/Test/00000.png')
image_from_array = Image.fromarray(image, 'RGB')
size_image = image_from_array.resize((height, width))
test=np.array(size_image)

pred = model.predict_classes(test.astype('float32')/255)

okay I'm working on 1 image so I thought I don't need the data[] list where I append all processed images but when I run the code I get this error
   ValueError: Input 0 of layer sequential_1 is incompatible with the layer: : expected min_ndim=4, found ndim=3. Full shape received: [None, None, 3]

I know I'm doing something wrong but before correcting my code I really want to understand why am I getting this error what's causing it, what's actually happening?

A: Conv2D expects 4+D tensor with shape: batch_shape + (channels, rows, cols) if data_format='channels_first' or 4+D tensor with shape: batch_shape + (rows, cols, channels) if data_format='channels_last'.
Add extra dimension to your input using tf.expand_dims
Working sample code
import tensorflow as tf

image = tf.zeros([10,10,3])
input_shape = tf.expand_dims(image, axis=0).shape.as_list()

x = tf.random.normal(input_shape)
y = tf.keras.layers.Conv2D(
2, 3, activation='relu', input_shape=input_shape[1:])(x)
print(y.shape)

Output
(1, 8, 8, 2)

Research that will shock you into rethinking your parenting beliefs.
Nurture Shock: New Thinking About Children begins by tackling the reasons why "our instincts about children can be so off the mark." The authors carefully explain the difference between our actual instinct to protect and nurture a child versus the "collective wisdom" which forms our beliefs about child-raising. Those latter "instincts" aren't really instinctual at all. And sometimes they're wrong.
For years, child development researchers have been pecking away at our "collective wisdom" about child-rearing. Bronson & Merryman review their findings in ten areas, presenting them in a way that acknowledges the complexity of the issues without overwhelming a nonacademic reader.
The amount of research is staggering, but be not afraid! While the notes and references take up 82 pages at the back of the book, each chapter is a highly readable 20-ish pages. The authors explain why previous beliefs about a topic were wrong and how the new, science-based ideas work. Best of all, they show how parents can change their behavior to reap the benefits of all this research grant money.
The ten areas Bronson & Merryman cover are: praise, sleep deprivation, discussing race, lying, kindergarten placement testing, sibling conflict, teen rebellion, self-control and focus, bullying, and language acquisition.
The strongest chapter is the first one, based on the authors' much-discussed article for New York Magazine on how to properly praise your child. Studies have found that emphasizing a child's natural ability ("You are so smart!") has a dampening effect on a kid's willingness to face new challenges. On the other hand, praising a child's effort ("You worked really hard!") actually encourages her to try new things and persevere.
The book is filled with these kind of revelations. The authors conclude that two particular assumptions steer us wrong when it comes to kids. The first is that kids are just like adults. For instance, if we can survive on five hours of sleep, so can they. And since grownups only play to relax, playtime isn't an essential part of a child's day. However, studies have shown that children lose valuable brain development time when they don't sleep, and playtime can help focus children and teach them important skills.
The second assumption is what Bronso & Merryman call "the Fallacy of the Good/Bad Dichotomy." In other words, we think that a child's good behavior means positive growth and any bad behavior is negative. However, some studies indicate that lying plays an important role in both early childhood development and teenage identity formation. Meanwhile, empathy actually gives bullies a competitive edge (it makes the bullying that much more effective).
It feels instinctual to steer kids away from all negative behavior, emotions, and influences. But if you learn one thing from this book, it's this: Raising a child is complicated, but if you are open to new ideas and willing to try a different approach, you may be shocked by the positive results.

Light on Series: Sisyphus 在劫难逃 Episode 9 Plot
Because his father took drugs, Zhao Binbin became a punching bag every time he was addicted to drugs. Good friend Sun Xiaomeng sees it and feels pain in her heart. But except to wipe the blood from his face, there was nothing else to do, only to comfort him again and again. Because the two have been together in the orphanage, the relationship is extraordinary. But Zhao Binbin deliberately hid this experience, until one day, someone sent a group photo of the orphanage to the hospital.
When Zhao Binbin saw the photo, he rushed to the gate and saw Liu Yuqi as expected. Liu Yuqi had long hoped to have such an opportunity to have a good chat, and had many questions to ask. But Zhao Binbin is different, except for Sun Xiaomeng, he is not interested in other people's lives. In his life, his greatest wish is that Sun Xiaomeng can live an ordinary life, even if he is no longer in Sun Xiaomeng's memory. For this reason, Zhao Binbin warned Liu Yuqi not to go his own way anymore, and it is better not to figure out some things.
In order to take care of his daughter these days, Zhang Haifeng relaxed his investigation of Zhao Binbin, and missed the meeting between Liu Yuqi and Zhao Binbin. His wife Qiao Xin is still lukewarm, and her daughter has just given birth to some good feelings, but now it is gone. It was one night on the hospital bench, and Zhao Min called early in the morning. With guilt, Zhang Haifeng rushed back to the police station.
The autopsy results have come out. The bones found in the old house are indeed Zhao Binbin's father Zhao Lei, who died 4 years ago. There is no major trauma on the surface of the body, but it can be seen that Zhao Lei had a long history of drug abuse. Zhao Lei used to be a sales clerk in a state-owned commercial bank, and has not worked since he was laid off. His wife died young, and neither of the couple had anything to do with the chemical plant.
Records show that Zhao Binbin is an orphan adopted by Zhao Lei from the orphanage. Zhang Haifeng and Zhao Min immediately went to the orphanage to find out the situation. From the old principal, they learned that Zhao Binbin was an abandoned baby. He was abandoned at the entrance of the orphanage when he was a few months old, so there was no contact information for his biological parents.
The orphanage didn't get any useful information, and Zhao Binbin's idea of killing related personnel in the chemical plant for his parents' justice was difficult to establish. The police turned their heads to investigate Liu Yuqi, an entrepreneur with deep roots in Luteng City, but he has always kept a low profile. It doesn't look like the kind of person who does bad things to make money.
Zhang Haifeng felt a headache. Two years later, in 2019, it was indeed Zhao Binbin who killed him, but now he can't find any clues. In fact, it was Liu Yuqi who made the trick. Liu Yuqi went to the orphanage first and found that Sun Xiaomeng and Zhao Binbin were good friends in the orphanage. As a donor, he asked the principal not to disclose the relationship between Sun Xiaomeng and Zhao Binbin to others. Naturally, the old principal would not mention this to the police.
Zhang Haifeng wanted to find out the cause of Zhao Lei's death. Zhao Binbin, who was standing opposite him, certainly understood what he meant. Zhao Binbin still smiled faintly, neither admitting nor denying it. Zhang Haifeng asked a more direct question, why must he kill himself before he would give up. Zhao Binbin was taken aback, then returned to a smiling face. After kindly reminding Zhang Haifeng to take an umbrella when he went out tomorrow, he went back to the outpatient hall.
The next day was when Duoduo was discharged from the hospital, one day earlier than originally planned. It was drizzling and there was a car accident at the exit of the hospital. Zhang Haifeng's car was crowded in the convoy and moved slowly forward. Suddenly, a dumping bucket on the side of the road fell, and the rain that had accumulated overnight hit Zhang Haifeng's car. The weight of tons crushed the roof of the car, and the people in the car were killed instantly. Zhang Haifeng, who temporarily went to the nurse's desk to fetch the pictures that were left behind, ran out of the inpatient building and saw the horror in front of him.

Q: Trying to deserialize a serialized ActorRef without an ActorSystem in scope - Spark/Akka/Scala EDIT:  Exception relating to serialising / deserialising Akka Actor remains after forEach is confirmed to be executing.
I'm learning Akka and encountering this serialisation issue, I'm quite new to Akka and finding it quite difficult to figure out how best to approach a solution.
I have a class where the actorSystem and actor is created, that class calls a method in another class, I'd like to use my actor in that other class.  So far I've tried:
Class a:
-create actor
-classB.methodX(actor)

Class b:
-methodX(actorRef)
--actorRef! message

currently the message from class b does not get sent whereas the class A ones do, this is making me think that I either need to instantiate a new Actor with the ActorRef that I'm passing in or, it's completely wrong.
I understand that the system needs to be present on all nodes but I'm unsure how to do that.
Edit: Code Snippets:
ClassA:
  private val system = ActorSystem("System")
  private val metricActor= system.actorOf(Props(new MetricActor("metrics")), name = "metrics")

metricActor ! message works fine

writeFiles(metricActor) //writeFiles is in another class

writeFiles(actor: ActorRef) {
  f.forEach(v => {
  actor ! message // this doesn't seem to work
})
}

Edited to provide more code.
full example of classB as it were
def writeFiles(bucket: String, filesToWrite: RDD[(String, String)], actor:ActorRef): Unit =
filesToWrite.foreachPartition(f => {
  f.foreach(v => {
    try {
      //actor  ! ProcessSingleItem(MetricItem("File Created"))
      logger.debug(s"Writing file:")
      writeFile()
    }
    catch {
      case e: Exception =>
        //actor ! ProcessSingleItem(CloudWatchMetricItem("File create failure"))
        logger.error("Error creating file", e)
    }
  })
})

A: What you are describing should work. You didn't paste the full (but minimal!) code sample so I can't say what's the problem (maybe something in your foreach logic; we don'e even know what f is), but here's what definitely works. Try building up on that.
object Test extends App {

  class MetricActor extends Actor {
    def receive = {
      case a: String => println(a)
    }
  }

  private val system = ActorSystem("System")
  private val metricActor= system.actorOf(Props(new MetricActor()), name = "metrics")

  OtherClass.writeFiles(metricActor) // prints "foo"
}

// this is in other file:
object OtherClass {
  def writeFiles(actor: ActorRef) {
    actor ! "foo"
  }
}

EDIT: Turns out after discussion in comments that the problematic part was unrelated to Akka (try block was not even executing), but I will leave this here in case it helps someone.


While recently reviewing my recipe page, I was shocked to see that somehow I had never included Buffalo Chicken Wings! The ones that got it all started! Sure, I had covered wings before. There were the Australian Beer-Barbecued Wings, the Chipolte Chicken Wings, Jamaican Jerk Wings, Spicy Ginger Teriyaki Wings and last, but not least, Mrs. G's favorite…Piri-piri Chicken Wings. If you haven't noticed…I kinda like wings. Mrs. G says its my 5th food group. But to not have included the original recipe? I'm a bit embarrassed, to tell you the truth. So now, without further ado….here are our version of Buffalo Chicken Wings.
Mix of Buffalo Wings (left), Piri-piri wings (right) and some taters.
Mix ingredients in a saucepan. Heat on high till boiling, then reduce to simmer, stirring often. Continue to simmer for about 5 minutes. Set aside while grilling the wings.
Here's a tip I picked up a few years back and would like to share it with you. Do you like your wings crispy? (and who doesn't) But you don't want to fry them for whatever reason. Then take you wings out of the package, rinse them off and dry them and then allow them to air dry in your refrigerator for as long as possible. Just put them on a plate. Do NOT cover them. If you can, flip them about halfway through, but this is not necessary. I like to do this the morning that I am going to cook them. They can be dried overnight. Even a few hours will help them to crisp up when you cook them.
Once you are ready to grill the wings, rub them down with your favorite bbq rub. If you like your wings hot, go with a hot rub, or mix some cayenne pepper in with you rub. For these ones, I rubbed them down with Dizzy Pig's Jamaican Firewalk, which they describe as "Based on island jerk, Jamaican Firewalk has a hefty kick of heat rounded out by a citrussy tang and just a hint of the powerful and often overused Jamaican Allspice berries. This is a spicy rub!" One of my favorite rubs to use with wings.
There are many ways to grill wings, so you are going to have to set up your grill accordingly. If using a gas or charcoal grill, set it up for two heat zones. One side you are going to want about medium heat (around 400-450) and then a zone with no heat where you can move the wings in case of flare ups (which you will more than like have). If using a Big Green Egg or other kamado style grill, set up your grill around the 400-450 range. You are going to want some way to elevate your grate in order to raise the wings higher above the charcoal. Here I am using the Big Green Egg grate extender (which I don't recommend), but the Adjustable Rig from Ceramic Grill Store, the swing grate from CeramicGrillWorks or any home built version you can come out with will work just as well. Just elevate it to about the rim of the bottom of your grill. For smoke, I went with a mixture of pecan chunks and applewood chips just because that was what I had on hand.
Generally, I find wings take around 30 minutes, depending on how hot your grill is (These wings took about 25 minutes). You are going to want to check them occasionally to see if they need to be flipped or rotated if you have hot spots on your grill. I usually start checking the temperature of my wings after 20 minutes. Chicken is considered safe at 165F, but I usually like to take my wings a little bit higher in order to crisp up the skin. These were pulled at 175.
Once your wings are done, you can either toss them in a bowl to coat with the sauce you made earlier or drizzle some on top depending on how messy you like you wings. I say the messier the better. Serve them up with some Bleu Cheese or Ranch dressing and some celery sticks and carrot sticks and you are ready to watch the game. Or whatever else you feel like watching. Enjoy!
These look super-yum, Jason! I like the tip re: drying them for crispier results.
I saw a video of a chef preparing to roast a whole chicken. To make the skin crispier he set the raw bird upright on the counter and pointed a box fan on it to dry out the skin. Your method seems better, as i thoought he might be pushing food safety a little to far.
Interesting, but yeah….that doesn't seem very sanitary or safe. I'll stick to my way.
Thanks for the tips! I have always been intimidated to make these. Yours look so good!
Nothing to be intimidated by. Super easy. If you are doing them in the oven, you might want to drop the temp down to 350F and adjust the times accordingly. You'll be shooting for an internal temp of 165. Let me know how they turn out for you when you decide to make them.
I'm sorry I don't have anything new to post, but Jason from Texas did some awesome looking Buffalo Wings on his Big Green Egg, so I thought I would share those with you!


1) Boil rice vermicelli according to package. Drain. Set aside to cool.
2) Rinse and boil shrimp. Drain, peel, de-vein and sliced in half lengthwise. Set aside to cool.
3) Trim pork tenderloin. Boil, drain and slice into thin strips lengthwise. Set aside to cool.
4) Prepare each roll one at a time otherwise rice paper will dry out.
5) Dip the rice paper in a large bowl of warm water to soften.
6) Lay the rice paper on a flat surface.
7) Stack an even amount of pork slices vermicelli, bean sprouts, ½ lettuce leaf, 1 cucumber slice, and herbs at the bottom edge of the rice paper an inch in thickness and leaving an inch space at the bottom/left/right sides for rolling.
8) Flip the sides in over the filling.
9) Roll the rice paper from the bottom once, tucking the filling along the way.
10) Lay 3 shrimp halves on the roll.
11) Continue to tuck and roll the rice paper until you get a nice tight spring roll.
12) Repeat steps 5-11 to make 8 spring rolls.
13) Peanut Sauce: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine sugar, peanut butter, olive oil, hoisin sauce and water. Stir until evenly mixed. Remove from heat and pour into serving bowl. Top with garlic chili paste or Sriracha sauce.
14) Liberally dip each spring roll into peanut sauce. Eat, share and enjoy!

Oregon National Guard to support COVID-19 vaccinations
By ANDREW SELSKY Associated Press
Posted: January 8, 2021 5:20 PM
Andrew Selsky
Dr. Ralph Yates, chief medical officer for Salem Health Hospital and regional care system in Oregon, poses for a photo on Friday, Jan. 8, 2021, at the Oregon State Fairgrounds, in Salem, Ore. where hospital personnel is giving COVID-19 vaccinations to a priority group of health care workers. They gave about 1,700 doses the previous day and expect to give around the same number on Friday. The Oregon National Guard will assist in the coming days.
Show Caption Hide Caption
People who received their shots and who have a history of allergic reactions to certain foods or other items must wait 30 minutes on Friday, Jan. 8, 2021, at the Oregon State Fairgrounds, before leaving, in case they have a reaction to the vaccine. So far, none has occurred here.
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Hundreds of people received COVID-19 vaccines Friday at the Oregon State Fairgrounds in a mass vaccination that the doctor in charge called "the most meaningful work of my career."
Next week, the operation will be stepped up with the Oregon National Guard having been called up by Gov. Kate Brown to support the mission in Salem.
"The goal is to vaccinate 250 people per hour, vaccinating thousands of Oregonians," Brown announced during a Zoom call with reporters.
On Friday, Dr. Ralph Yates, chief medical officer for Salem Health Hospital and regional care system, looked with satisfaction as people received their shots at 24 tables set up in the cavernous, cinder-block main fairgrounds building.
"In terms of mass vaccinations (in Oregon) I think we're it," Yates said. "This can be replicated easily."
There is space in the building, almost the size of a Costco, to triple the vaccination stations when National Guard medics and other troops arrive as early as Tuesday.
Those eligible to receive the vaccination are in the top priority category set by the Oregon Health Authority, which includes hospitals, health care providers and residents at long-term care facilities; emergency medical service providers and other first responders.
The line of people waiting for their shots from Salem health staffers snaked into the parking lot. Oregon Health Authority Director Patrick Allen told reporters in a Zoom news conference with Brown that people would merely need to attest they're eligible for the shot. Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are being used.
But Yates said the system had to be tightened after several people were found in line who did not qualify. Now, people are being asked what their jobs specifically are.
"We want the community vaccinated, but there isn't enough vaccine at this point," Yates said.
The vaccinations at the fairgrounds started Wednesday with 200 vaccinations before getting into high gear at about 1,700 doses Thursday, and around the same number is expected on Friday, according to Yates.
"In my 41 years of medical practice, this is the most meaningful work of my career, right here," Yates said. "Hope is here. It's not on the horizon; it's here."
OHA expects that between 300,000 and 400,000 individuals will qualify for access to COVID-19 vaccination under Phase 1a.
Allen said the federal government has painted too rosy a picture about the rollout of the vaccines.
"This is going to take a while. I think it's been challenging for people to hear that messaging from us when the federal government has been much more optimistic in its messaging and talking about … how virtually everybody who wants a vaccine would be able to get it by June," Allen said.
He said the fall is "a reasonable target … unless many more vaccines are approved or much, much more production comes online or more doses are purchased from manufacturers than are available now."
On Friday, OHA recorded 7,994 doses of vaccine administered — including 578 second doses — raising the state's total number of shots given to 74,914.
Questions have been raised about the governor announcing last month she wants to see schools reopen soon. In a letter to Brown on Thursday, teachers unions representing Oregon's five largest school districts said that before schools open, staff and students need free and frequent access to COVID-19 testing and staff must have access to a vaccine.
"The harsh reality is that many of our kids across the state have been out of school for almost a year now in terms of in-classroom learning," Brown told reporters. "It's extremely challenging for a lot of kids, particularly our littles, to be learning how to read or learning how to do math on a computer remotely."
She also said some communities are not well connected or lack internet connections, and many parents are struggling with trying to take care of their children at home while also assisting in teaching and trying to do their own jobs.
The health agency also reported Friday that COVID-19 claimed seven more lives in Oregon, raising the state's death toll to 1,575. There were also 1,755 new cases, bringing the total to 122,847 in a state with a population of around 4.2 million.
This story has been corrected to show the governor's office now says the National Guard is arriving next week instead of this weekend.
