Dirty Harry is a 1971 American action crime thriller film produced and directed by Don Siegel, the first in the Dirty Harry series. Clint Eastwood plays the title role, in his first outing as San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan. The film drew upon the actual case of the Zodiac Killer as the Callahan character seeks out a similar vicious psychopath.
Dirty Harry was a critical and commercial success and set the style for a whole genre of police films. It was followed by four sequels: Magnum Force in 1973, The Enforcer in 1976, Sudden Impact in 1983 (directed by Eastwood himself) and The Dead Pool in 1988.
In 2012, the film was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant".
A killer (Andrew Robinson) shoots a girl in a hotel rooftop swimming pool. Police arrive at the crime scene, where SFPD Inspector Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) finds a blackmail note signed "Scorpio" ordering the city to pay $100,000 or he will continue to kill. The mayor (John Vernon) asks police officers what is being done to track the killer.
During lunch, Inspector Callahan foils a bank robbery. He kills two of the robbers and wounds a third. Confronting the wounded robber, Callahan delivers the film's iconic line:
I know what you're thinking: 'Did he fire six shots or only five?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do you, punk?
The robber surrenders to Callahan, but then replies that he needs to know if the gun is still loaded. Callahan pulls the trigger with the weapon pointed directly at the robber, and laughs as it is revealed to be empty.
Callahan is assigned a new partner, Chico Gonzalez (Reni Santoni), whom he believes to be an inexperienced rookie. Scorpio is staking out potential victims near a public park, but is spotted by a police helicopter and runs away. Callahan and his new partner believe they see him that night on the streets, but in the course of tracing him to his home, Callahan looks into a window and briefly watches a sexual encounter before being caught by neighbors who try to beat him up as a peeping Tom, until Chico interferes.
Based on Scorpio's communications, the city decides he will next try to kill a Catholic priest. They set up a stake-out, but Callahan gets again distracted. Scorpio arrives and there is a shootout in which a policeman disguised as a priest is killed.
Scorpio delivers a second ransom demand to the police, stating he has now kidnapped a teenage girl who he says will die if his demands are not met. Callahan is assigned to deliver a case full of money. He waits near a pier as directed by Scorpio who calls Callahan on a nearby pay phone, giving him instructions to go to another location in the city with another payphone, where he will call again. Finally, Callahan encounters Scorpio at the Mount Davidson cross. Scorpio then beats Callahan into submission before telling him that he intends to let the girl die. His partner has been following them and there is a shootout in which Chico is wounded. After being stabbed in the leg with a hidden knife by Callahan, Scorpio escapes without the money and reports to a hospital.
The police learn of Scorpio's hospital visit, and a doctor recalls having met Scorpio previously and that he lives in a room at Kezar Stadium. Callahan finds Scorpio there and after a chase he shoots and then tortures Scorpio by standing on his wounded leg, demanding to know where the girl is being held. Scorpio confesses, but by then it is too late and the girl is found dead.
The district attorney (Josef Sommer) tells Callahan that Scorpio's rights have been violated, and they cannot hold him. Callahan is outraged, but continues to shadow Scorpio on his own time. Scorpio pays a man $200 to beat him severely, then reports to a hospital claiming he is a victim of police brutality.
Scorpio later acquires a handgun, hijacks a school bus and contacts the police with yet another ransom demand for money and a flight out of the Santa Rosa airport. Callahan jumps onto the roof of the bus from an overpass. After Callahan forces Scorpio off the bus, the latter flees to a nearby quarry and holds a boy at gunpoint. Having shot Scorpio through the shoulder, Callahan reprises his line about losing count of his shots. Unlike the earlier encounter, Callahan does have one remaining bullet, with which he kills Scorpio when the latter goes for his gun. Callahan takes out his inspector's badge and throws it into the water before walking away.

The script, titled Dead Right, by the husband-and-wife team of Harry Julian Fink and Rita M. Fink, was originally about a hard-edged New York City police inspector, Harry Callahan, who is determined to stop Travis, a serial killer, even if he has to skirt the law and accepted standards of policing, blurring the distinction between criminal and cop, to address the question as to how far a free, democratic society can go to protect itself. The original draft ended with a police sniper, instead of Callahan, shooting Scorpio. Another earlier version of the story was set in Seattle, Washington. Four more drafts of the script were written.
Although Dirty Harry is arguably Clint Eastwood's signature role, he was not a top contender for the part. The role of Harry Callahan was offered to John Wayne and Frank Sinatra, and later to Robert Mitchum, Steve McQueen, and Burt Lancaster. In his 1980 interview with Playboy, George C. Scott claimed that he was initially offered the role, but the script's violent nature led him to turn it down. When producer Jennings Lang initially could not find an actor to take the role of Callahan, he sold the film rights to ABC Television. Although ABC wanted to turn it into a television film, the amount of violence in the script was deemed excessive for television, so the rights were sold to Warner Bros.
Warner Bros. purchased the script with a view to casting Frank Sinatra in the lead. Sinatra was 55 at the time and since the character of Harry Callahan was originally written as a man in his mid-to-late 50s (and Eastwood was then only 41), Sinatra fit the character profile. Initially, Warner Bros. wanted either Sydney Pollack or Irvin Kershner to direct. Kershner was eventually hired when Sinatra was attached to the title role, but when Sinatra eventually left the film, so did Kershner.
John Milius was asked to work on the script when Sinatra was attached, along with Kershner as director. Milius claimed he was requested to write the screenplay for Sinatra in three weeks. Terrence Malick wrote a draft of the film dated November 1970 ) in which the shooter (also named Travis) was a vigilante who killed wealthy criminals who had escaped justice. Malick's ideas formed the basis for the sequel, Magnum Force, though with a group of vigilante motorcycle cops instead of a single shooter.
Details about the film were first released in film industry trade papers in April, September and November 1970, with Frank Sinatra attached as Harry Callahan and Irvin Kershner listed as director and producer, with Arthur Jacobson acting as associate producer.
After Sinatra left the project, the producers started to consider younger actors for the role. Burt Lancaster turned down the lead role because he strongly disagreed with the violent, end-justifies-the-means moral of the story. He believed the role and plot contradicted his belief in collective responsibility for criminal and social justice and the protection of individual rights. Marlon Brando was considered for the role, but was never formally approached. Both Steve McQueen and Paul Newman turned down the role. McQueen refused to make another "cop movie" after Bullitt (1968). He would also turn down the lead in The French Connection the same year, giving the same reason. Believing the character was too "right-wing" for him, Newman suggested that the film would be a good vehicle for Eastwood.
The screenplay was initially brought to Eastwood's attention around 1969 by Jennings Lang. Warner Bros offered him the part while still in post-production for his directorial debut film Play Misty for Me. By December 17, 1970, a Warner Brothers studio press release announced that Clint Eastwood would star in as well as produce the film through his company, Malpaso.
Eastwood was given a number of scripts, but he ultimately reverted to the original as the best vehicle for him. In a 2009 MTV interview, Eastwood said "So I said, 'I'll do it,' but since they had initially talked to me, there had been all these rewrites. I said, 'I'm only interested in the original script'." Looking back on the 1971 Don Siegel film, he remembered "[The rewrites had changed] everything. They had Marine snipers coming on in the end. And I said, 'No. This is losing the point of the whole story, of the guy chasing the killer down. It's becoming an extravaganza that's losing its character.' They said, 'OK, do what you want.' So, we went and made it."
Eastwood also agreed to star in the film only on condition that Don Siegel direct. Siegel was under contract to Universal at the time, and Eastwood personally went to the studio heads to ask them to "loan" Siegel to Warner. The two had just completed the movie The Beguiled (1971).
Scorpio was loosely based on the real-life Zodiac Killer, an unidentified serial killer who had committed five murders in the San Francisco Bay Area several years earlier. Elements of Gary Stephen Krist were also worked into the characterization, as Scorpio, like Krist, kidnaps a young girl and buries her alive while demanding ransom. In a later novelization of the film, Scorpio was referred to as "Charles Davis", a former mental patient from Springfield, Massachusetts who murdered his grandparents as a teenager. There are significant differences between the book and the film. Among the differences are: Scorpio's point of view — in the book he uses astrology to make decisions (including being inspired to abduct Ann Mary Deacon); Harry working on a murder case involving a mugger before he is assigned to Scorpio; the omission of the suicide jumper; and Harry throwing away his badge at the end. Audie Murphy was initially considered to play Scorpio, but he died in a plane crash before his decision on the offer could be made. When Kershner and Sinatra were still attached to the project, James Caan was under consideration for the role of Scorpio. The part eventually went to a relatively unknown actor, Andy Robinson. Eastwood had seen Robinson in a play called Subject to Fits and recommended him for the role of Scorpio; his unkempt appearance fit the bill for a psychologically unbalanced hippie. Siegel told Robinson that he cast him in the role of the Scorpio killer because he wanted someone "with a face like a choirboy". Robinson's portrayal was so memorable that after the film was released he was reported to have received several death threats and was forced to get an unlisted telephone number. In real life, Robinson is a pacifist who deplores the use of firearms. Early in principal photography on the film, Robinson would reportedly flinch in discomfort every time he was required to use a gun. As a result, Siegel was forced to halt production briefly and sent Robinson for brief training in order to learn how to fire a gun convincingly.
Milius says his main contribution to the film was "a lot of guns. And the attitude of Dirty Harry, being a cop who was ruthless. I think it's fairly obvious if you look at the rest of my work what parts are mine. The cop being the same as the killer except he has a badge. And being lonely … I wanted it to be like Stray Dog; I was thinking in terms of Kurosawa's detective films." He added:
In my script version, there's just more outrageous Milius crap where I had the killer in the bus with a flamethrower. I tried to make the guy as outrageous as possible. I had him get a police photographer to take a picture of him with all the kids lined up at the school – he kidnaps them at the school, actually – and they showed the picture to the other police after he's made his demands; he wants a 747 to take him away to a country where he'll be free of police harassment [Milius laughs uproariously], terrible things like this. And the children all end up like a graduation picture, and the teacher is saying, "What is that object under Andy Robinson?" and a cop says, "That's a claymore mine." Teacher asks, "What's a claymore mine?" And we hear the voice of Harry say, "If he sets it off, they're all spaghetti." Chief says, "That's enough, Harry." Everybody said, "That's too much, John; we can't have Milius doing this kind of stuff." I wanted the guy to be just totally outrageous all the time, and he is. I think Siegel restrained it enough.
Director John Milius owns one of the actual Model 29s used in principal photography in Dirty Harry and Magnum Force. As of March 2012 it is on loan to the National Firearms Museum in Fairfax, Virginia, and is in the Hollywood Guns display in the William B. Ruger Gallery.
Principal photography
Glenn Wright, Eastwood's costume designer since Rawhide, was responsible for creating Callahan's distinctive old-fashioned brown and yellow checked jacket to emphasize his strong values in pursuing crime. Filming for Dirty Harry began in April 1971 and involved some risky stunts, with much footage shot at night and filming the city of San Francisco aerially, a technique for which the film series is renowned. Eastwood performed the stunt in which he jumps onto the roof of the hijacked school bus from a bridge, without a stunt double. His face is clearly visible throughout the shot. Eastwood also directed the suicide-jumper scene.
The line, "My, that's a big one," spoken by Scorpio when Callahan removes his gun, was an ad-lib by Robinson. The crew broke into laughter as a result of the double entendre and the scene had to be re-shot, but the line stayed.
The final scene, in which Callahan throws his badge into the water, is a homage to a similar scene from 1952's High Noon. Eastwood initially did not want to toss the badge, believing it indicated that Callahan was quitting the police department. Siegel argued that tossing the badge was instead Callahan's indication of casting away the inefficiency of the police force's rules and bureaucracy. Although Eastwood was able to convince Siegel not to have Callahan toss the badge, when the scene was filmed, Eastwood changed his mind and went with Siegel's preferred ending.
One evening Eastwood and Siegel had been watching the San Francisco 49ers in Kezar Stadium in the last game of the season and thought the eerie Greek amphitheater-like setting would be an excellent location for shooting one of the scenes where Callahan encounters Scorpio.

The soundtrack for Dirty Harry was created by composer Lalo Schifrin, who created the iconic music for both the theme of Mission: Impossible and the Bullitt soundtrack, and who had previously collaborated with director Don Siegel in the production of Coogan's Bluff and The Beguiled, both also starring Clint Eastwood. Schifrin fused a wide variety of influences, including classical music, jazz and psychedelic rock, along with Edda Dell'Orso-style vocals, into a score that "could best be described as acid jazz some 25 years before that genre began". According to one reviewer, the Dirty Harry soundtrack's influence "is paramount, heard daily in movies, on television, and in modern jazz and rock music".
The film caused controversy when it was released, sparking debate over issues ranging from police brutality to victims' rights and the nature of law enforcement. Feminists in particular were outraged by the film and at the 44th Academy Awards protested outside the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, holding up banners which read messages such as "Dirty Harry is a Rotten Pig".
Jay Cocks of Time praised Eastwood's performance as Dirty Harry, describing him as "giving his best performance so far, tense, tough, full of implicit identification with his character". Neal Gabler also praised Eastwood's performance in the film: "There's an incredible pleasure in watching Clint Eastwood do what he does, and he does it so well." Film critic Roger Ebert, while praising the film's technical merits, denounced its "fascist moral position". A section of the Philippine police force ordered a print of the film for use as a training film.
Since its release, the film's critical reputation has grown in stature. Dirty Harry was selected in 2008 by Empire magazine as one of The 500 Greatest Movies of All Time. It was placed similarly on The Best 1000 Movies Ever Made list by The New York Times. In January 2010 Total Film included the film on its list of The 100 Greatest Movies of All Time. TV Guide and Vanity Fair also included the film on their lists of the 50 best movies.
A generation later, Dirty Harry is now regarded as one of the best films of 1971. Based mainly on reviews from the 2000s, the film holds a 95% approval rating on the review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes. It was nominated at the Edgar Allan Poe Awards for Best Motion Picture.
In 2014, Time Out polled several film critics, directors, actors and stunt actors to list their top action films. Dirty Harry was listed at 78th place in this list.
John Milius later said he loved the film. "I think it's a great film, one of the few recent great films, more important than The Godfather. It's larger than the sum of its parts; I don't think it's so brilliantly written or so brilliantly acted. Siegel can take more credit than anyone for it."
Box office performance
The benefit world premiere of Dirty Harry was held at Loews' Market Street Cinema, 1077 Market Street (San Francisco), on December 22, 1971. The film was the fourth-highest-grossing film of 1971, earning an approximate total of $36 million in its U.S. theatrical release, making it a major financial success in comparison with its modest $4 million budget.
Warner Home Video owns rights to the Dirty Harry series. The studio first released the film to VHS and Betamax in 1979. Dirty Harry (1971) has been remastered for DVD three times — in 1998, 2001 and 2008. It has been repurposed for several DVD box sets. Dirty Harry made its high-definition debut with the 2008 Blu-ray Disc. The commentator on the 2008 DVD is Clint Eastwood biographer Richard Schickel. The film, along with its sequels, has been released in high definition, on various Digital distribution services, including the iTunes Store.
Dirty Harry received recognition from the American Film Institute. The film was ranked #41 on 100 Years … 100 Thrills, a list of America's most heart-pounding movies. Harry Callahan was selected as the 17th greatest movie hero on 100 Years … 100 Heroes & Villains. The movie's famous quote "You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?" was ranked 51st on 100 Years … 100 Movie Quotes. Dirty Harry was also on the ballot for several other AFI's 100 series lists including 100 Years … 100 Movies, 100 Years … 100 Movies (10th Anniversary Edition), and 100 Years of Film Scores.
Real-life copycat crime and killers
The film supposedly inspired a real-life crime, the Faraday School kidnapping. In October 1972, soon after the release of the movie in Australia, two armed men (one of whom coincidentally had the last name 'Eastwood') kidnapped a teacher and six school children in Victoria. They demanded a $1 million ransom. The state government agreed to pay, but the children managed to escape and the kidnappers were subsequently jailed.
In September 1981 a case occurred in Germany, under circumstances quite similar to the Barbara Jane Mackle case: A ten-year-old girl, Ursula Hermann, was buried alive in a box fitted with ventilation, lighting and sanitary systems to be held for ransom. The girl suffocated in her prison within 48 hours of her abduction because autumn leaves had clogged up the ventilation duct. Twenty-seven years later, a couple was arrested and tried for kidnapping and murder on circumstantial evidence. According to the Daily Mail, the couple were inspired by the film Dirty Harry, in which Scorpio kidnaps a girl and places her in an underground box. This case was also dealt with in the German TV series Aktenzeichen XY … ungelöst.
Harry Callahan pointing his S&W Model 29
Eastwood's iconic portrayal of the blunt, cynical, unorthodox detective, who is seemingly in perpetual trouble with his incompetent bosses, set the style for a number of his later roles and, indeed, a whole genre of "loose-cannon" cop films. The film resonated with an American public that had become weary and frustrated with the increasing violent urban crime that was characteristic of the time. The film was released at a time when there were frequent reports of local and federal police committing offences and overstepping their authority by entrapment and obstruction of justice. Author McGilligan, argued that America needed a hero, a winner at a time when the authorities were losing the battle against crime. The box-office success of Dirty Harry led to the production of four sequels.
In the 2007 film Zodiac, also set in San Francisco and inspired by the Zodiac Killer, cartoonist Robert Graysmith approaches police detective Dave Toschi at the cinema, where he is watching Dirty Harry with his wife. When Graysmith tells Toschi he is going to catch the Zodiac killer, Toschi replies, "Pal? They're already making movies about it."
Dirty Harry helped popularize the Smith & Wesson Model 29 revolver, chambered for the powerful .44 Magnum cartridge, and initiated an increase in sales of the handgun. In 2010, artist James Georgopoulos included the screen-used guns from Dirty Harry in his Guns of Cinema series.

If you are intrigued by what goes on behind the scenes at Wimbledon, Chris Gorringe's book Holding Court is a must-read. Gorringe tells the story of his 26 years journey as All England Club chief executive. The book is full of anecdotes about legendary players (McEnroe, Sampras, Borg to name a few), but also describes in details the structure of the Club, the organization of the Championships, and Wimbledon's Long Term Plan.
A few pages are of course dedicated to the Centre Court roof, which has been the real star of the 125th Championships so far.
"We did not have all the answers, but certain members of the media and our committee wanted it as they had be to the Australian Open and seen the roof in action there.
However, the Australians had a different set of circumstances. When they moved from Kooyong's private members' club to Flinders Park (now Melbourne Park), in order to finance the set-up, the main centre court had to be a stadium design, not just a tennis arena. They needed the stadium to be used for as many days a year as possible, for concerts or whatever, which meant adding a roof but saying goodbye to grass. Once grass is taken out of the equation, the addition of a roof becomes very much easier.
"By the turn of the millennium, tests and expertise on roof structures had improved. We were now using HOK as our architects, who are the premier builders of sports stadia in the world, and who, incidentally, were behind the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff. Although that stadium had different requirements from our own, grass on a rugby pitch being less sensitive than grass on a tennis court, HOK were able to prove to us that the roof would work with no detrimental effects to the court. One of the points we made clear was that we wanted as good if not growing conditions for the grass.
With the technology proven, our priorities changed, and we deviated from the Long Term Plan, creating instead a new three-year plan for Centre Court. In addition to the roof, we would extend (and upgrade) the seating form an existing capacity of 13800 to 15000. We would also have extended and upgraded catering and hospitality facilities for the public and debenture holders.
In 2009, this latest immense building project came to fruition. The most visible, and I am sure most discussed element is the roof. The roof is made of a special waterproof fabric that is very strong, translucent and highly flexible. Its translucency allow natural light to reach the grass, although artificial lightning is also necessary. An air-conditioning system, supplying 143000 litres of conditioned air per second to the bowl, provides players and spectators with the optimal internal conditions. The roof folds concertina style, which allows it to be stored in a very compressed area when not in use.
It takes about ten minutes to close (less than half the time needed by the one at the Australian Open) and then it will be between ten and thirty minutes before play can restart, depending on climatic conditions.
"In order to check that the roof and all associated parts were operating well prior to The Championships, the Club staged an opening ceremony on Sunday 17 May 2009. This would include musical acts and several exhibition matches on Centre Court featuring some former Wimbledon greats, but prime billing would be the closing of the roof.
"Although the rain had stopped, it was predicted to return, and so the referee decided to keep the roof shut for the final match of the day. This was a decision that was long debated before and after the Andy Murray vs Stanislas Wawrinka fourth round match. Obviously, in normal circumstances, the match would have been played without the roof closed, but it was felt that in order to get the final fourth round match finished that evening, it would be safer to keep the roof across.
As it turned out, it was one of the most dramatic and memorable matches of The Championships, with Murray coming back from a two set deficit to win 6-3 in the fifth.
Ten years ago, it was right to be wary of the appropriateness of a roof for Centre Court. In 2009, I think we can be proud of another hugely innovative step forward that will help retain Wimbledon as the premier tournament in the world, and still on grass.
Follow our Wimbledon coverage on Tennis Buzz. More pics of the roof in the Wimbledon gallery. Enjoy!

Q: Numbering Theorems with section number but not resetting the counter I want to number theorems in the form "Theorem 1.4.26", such that the first two numbers are the chapter and section numbers and the last one is the number of the theorem in the whole book. That is, the counter for the last one does not reset through sections and chapters.

A: Assuming no package concerning theorem-like environments is loaded, the counter associated with a theorem environment is incremented monotonically unless a final optional argument of the \newtheorem command is provided. I.e.,
\newtheorem{mytheorem}{Theorem}

defines a theorem environment and an associated counter, both named mytheorem. In contrast,
\newtheorem{mytheorem}{Theorem}[chapter]

would define the same environment, but with the mytheorem counter being reset every time the counter named chapter is changed.
The final thing to solve is the way the counter variable associated with the theorem environment is displayed. Your formatting objective may be acheived by issuing the instruction \renewcommand{\themytheorem}{\thesection.\arabic{mytheorem}} in the preamble.
\documentclass{book}

\newtheorem{mytheorem}{Theorem}
\renewcommand{\themytheorem}{\thesection.\arabic{mytheorem}}

\begin{document}

\chapter{First}
\section{First}
\begin{mytheorem}
Foo
\end{mytheorem}

\chapter{Second}
\section{First in Second}
\begin{mytheorem}

\end{mytheorem}

To celebrate the release of The Heart on 28th July, I'm reviewing the first book in the The Siren Series by Rachel Higginson.
What I say: I've read a few Siren themed books in the past but not any YA ones and especially not from the author who gave us the maddening brilliance of Kiran and Eden in the Starcrossed series. The Rush introduces us to a different type of Siren and magical pull.
I had a similar reaction to Ivy and Ryder as to I did with Eden and Kiran. By this I mean that I both really liked them and yet found them infuriating at times. Ryder was easier to like than Ivy (in the traditional sense anyway) because he's easier to understand. Ivy has MANY secrets and the big reveal does take a while to unfold but I enjoyed the pace. We're given little tidbits and a slow release of information along the way as an insight into Ivy's complicated and troubled life.
I know the Ryder situation won't appeal to all readers (sorry no spoilers here) but I liked the switch up in terms of the normal YA - were the hot guy meets heroine and wants her immediately. Ivy's situation makes this impossible anyway. I definitely appreciated the slow burn in their friendship, even if I did find myself shouting "just kiss her!"
Another big plus for me was the secondary characters. I liked Phoenix, Chase and the girls. I have to admit the sudden change in the Kenna situation was slightly confusing and I also kept thinking that perhaps Ryder had his own 'draw' for Ivy.
I did initially think that Phoenix and Nix were going to be the same person, but boy how wrong was I? Nix and Ivy's mother really bought out the shudders, but I found Nix particularly unsettling.
Rachel Higginson's books always seem to stress me out, but in a good way! She manages to make me forget about all the teen angst (yes there is a lot of it) and look to the more important issues. There's always a strong message of right and wrong. I do love a good story which discusses morality as well as the paranormal or fantasy elements.

DLA Piper Has a New Partnership Structure
The Maryland Daily Record reports DLA Piper is eliminating its two-tiered partnership structure in favor of a new arrangement where all partners are equity owners of the law firm with as many as 18 tiers on the equity partner ladder. DLA Piper says it made the unusual decision in order to reduce Piper's outside borrowing and give income partners an ownership interest in the firm, according to joint CEO Frank Burch. "From now on, you're a partner or you're not a partner," Burch said.
Burch said DLA Piper did not make the change because it is has financial problems or having trouble obtaining credit. "The firm has excellent, excellent relationships with our banks and very, very favorable credit facility, almost too favorable," Burch said. No explanation was given as to what "almost too favorable" means. Burch also expressed a concern that he was too good looking and too charming. (Okay, I made that part up.)
The first chapter of Malcolm Gladwell's amazing new book Outliers talks about the town of Roseto, Pennsylvania and what an incredible impact the town's strong sense of community had in dramatically decreasing the rate of heart disease in Roseto. Eighteen partner tiers sounds like the ultimate, never ending rat race. There has always been a de facto demarcation among partners because they are paid differently. But formalizing that with a 18 tier ladder just has to add stress to many lawyers who are already feeling plenty of stress. This may lead to an anti Roseto effect: my detailed statistical analysis predicts that this system will take 1.8 years off the life of the average DLA Piper partner. (Of course, I made that up too. But you get the point.)

What are the best techinches to rob a shop?
Also what about black market robbing?
My favorite requires either an arrow, climbing gloves or a rope.
Also works if you steal climbing gloves.
Toss up a rope right outside the shop.
Grab an item and run out the shop. Jump and grab your rope or arrow or the wall.
Wait for shoppy to run out and curbstomp his stupid head. Grab shot gun kill him.
Not an expert, but I usually use bombs.
Every once in a while you can blow through the roof without him getting mad. If this happens I make a little ledge and throw item by item onto it. If it is done just right it does not anger the shopkeeper. After this I throw a rope up and take the items. Then I avoid the shopkeeper on the next level and he becomes happy with me again.
Another trick is to crack a jar or skull over his head, grab the best item in the store and run like hell. As with the above, the shop keepers' guild will only be angry with you for one level, instead of forever.
If you skip the jar, you can still sometimes do it, but you'll have to jump over a shotgun blast as you exit the store.
Note: For those not aware, jars and skulls stun shop keepers, unlike most other thrown items.
I'm only good at it in TLS, where a well-timed jump can net you one carryable item and anything picked up by touch.
With my technique sometimes I leave him alive. That way I don't lose.
I have tons of strategies but I can't stand not sprinting so I just run through levels.
My most favorite way is stunning a mantrap and throwing it into a shop to eat the shopkeeper. Just entertaining to do!
You know, after being initially disappointed to discover they (somehow) survive that, I never gave it much thought. But It's neat actually, apparently it technically isn't a crime at all. The shop keeper does get mad, but they're not out to get you even on the next level. Of course it's limited to zone two, but still a good move to keep in your playbook as it were.
Jar in the head, grab shotgun or bomb him with one left just outside the shop. Lately i ve had enough of buying so i almost always rob him and face the consequences. And i love the black market's Shopkeeper Shootout!
I do the jar in head but don't kill him. It works quite well.
Use a webcannon, jump on his head until he dies, take his shotgun and whatever else you want, and exit stage left. You will however have to kill future shopkeepers, and if you go to the Black Market, you might as well consider yourself dead.
It's entirely possible to fight off a whole black market worth of shoppies. Not easy of course, but possible. I've done it more than once. The main trick is to just spam shotgun blasts from off the screen. But the Ankh shop often require some strategically tossed bombs. You should have lots of bombs by the time you clear the place out, so you may also want to blast a tunnel straight down to the exit from there in case one or two shoppes are still running around on the last floor.

+ - Why should I use your company for custom printed labels and stickers rather than a "normal" print shop?
This is a very complex question and the answer is long enough to justify its own page — see Digital Advantage. Basically, if you need relatively small quantities, have multiple designs, or want to manage your cash flow while getting the best quality possible, digital printing is the answer.
+ - What does four color process mean?
Four color process describes the printing process used today to print the full color you see in magazines, newspapers, brochures and labels. Basically, a color image is separated into the four primary colors: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (known as CMYK) by the use of filters and screens. The result is a color separation of four images that, when printed, make up the full color image.
+ - Why are there no plate charges?
Lightning Labels is an all-digital label print shop. This means there are no plates involved in our printing process. Instead of using plates to transfer the image onto the paper, our press uses advanced laser technology to transfer the images directly onto the material.
+ - What standard sizes do you have?
Keep in mind that we do not carry "pre-cut" labels — everything we print is custom produced and die-cut after it is printed. We have a large and ever-expanding selection of die sizes. They are viewable via our Online Quoter. Just select the shape you want, then drop down the "Select Size" menu to see all sizes for that shape. Since we are adding dies all the time, we will most likely have a size in a shape that is very close to what you want. If not, please call us for a quote on a custom die.
+ - What kind of materials can you print on?
We carry over a dozen labeling materials for you to choose from, including several eco-friendly materials such as BioStone, Recycled Kraft and Recycled Vellum . Our most popular material is White BOPP (a polypropylene label stock that is water-resistant and impervious to oils). We also carry Clear, Chrome, Removable, and Ultra Removable versions of BOPP. See our Instant Quoter for an explanation of all available materials.
+ - What is your delivery time for my labels?
We ship most label and sticker printing jobs in just 2-3 days following proof approval. We ship via UPS and FedEx.
+ - Can I print a spot PMS color?
Not currently. Our HP-Indigo press uses a "four color process" (CMYK) build. While we cannot print an actual PMS spot color, we can print a close approximation of it. Keep in mind that we offer free "press proofs" (shipping charges apply) so that you can easily see what your final results will look like before committing to a full order.jobs in just 2-3 days following proof approval. We ship via UPS and FedEx.
+ - What type of proof will I receive?
This is one of the beauties of digital printing — we have two options for proofing. If your job is color-critical, or you'd like to see the "real thing" before committing to a production run, we offer a set of free press proofs (shipping charges apply) before starting production. Subsequent sets are available for an extra fee. What this means is that we print your artwork on the actual press, using the same material that your finished labels will be printed on. You can even peel the backing paper away from your proofs and apply them to your products for a final "look and feel" check. However, if you're in a hurry, we also offer PDF proofs — which are emailed to you for approval so you can confirm we're printing the right files.
+ - How much does a press proof cost?
With each order we offer one free press proof, your only cost is the shipping charge. Additional press proofs are $50 each plus shipping charges. Additional PDF proofs are available and cost $5 each. If you receive a press proof then cancel your order we will charge your credit card $50 for the press proof plus shipping charges.
+ - Can you make changes to my artwork files?
Yes. Any artwork changes requested will be charged a minimum of $30.00 or $75.00 per hour depending on the time required to make the requested changes. An additional $5.00 charge will be added to each version that is modified during this time. Changes requested may delay proofing and production time.
+ - What is the minimum number of labels I need to order?
50 labels for each version of artwork. However, you can mix and match quantities in the same order (e.g., 50 of label A and 150 of label B), while still gaining the benefits of combining multiple designs in the same run.
+ - Can you print gold or silver ink?
We are unable to print metallic inks; however, we can often achieve a similar effect by combining the right colors with the right materials. For example, many customers have discovered that using yellow ink on our Chrome BOPP material produces a close approximation of gold ink.
+ - Will my custom labels come on rolls or on sheets?
By default, our labels are produced on rolls with standard 3" cores. This lets you choose whether or not to apply your labels by machine or by hand. We also have the ability to produce labels on sheets.
+ - What are "unwind directions" and how do they affect me?
Unwind directions dictate how the rolls of labels are produced so that the labels are facing in the right direction on the roll at the time of application. It is usually only important to specify an unwind direction when the labels are going to be machine-applied to end products, and it ensures that the applicator is receiving and dispensing the labels in the right direction on the containers (e.g., bottles or jars) they're being applied to. If you're intending to hand-apply each label, unwind direction usually is not important. See this chart for more details.
+ - I've never had to produce labels before - where do I start?
Feel free to download and print our white paper, "An Introduction to Product Labeling". It should answer many of your questions.
+ - What is a credit card pre-authorization?
An Authorization hold (card authorization, preauthorization, or preauth) is the practice within the banking industry of authorizing electronic transactions done with a debit card or credit card. A credit card pre-authorization is much like any other charge to a credit card, except instead of actually debiting funds from the cardholder, the funds are temporary on "hold" until the final invoice amount is confirmed. Authorization holds typically fall off the account (thus rendering the balance available again) anywhere from 1-5 days after the transaction date depending on the bank's policy.
+ - Do you offer variable label printing?
Yes we have the ability to print variable images and text from one label to the next to create a personalized experience. We also offer consecutive numbering and barcodes for additional customization. Click here to learn more.
+ - Do you offer wholesale pricing for distributors?
Yes we make it easy for distributors, resellers, graphic designers, agencies and print brokers to offer high quality custom labels and stickers to their clients. We offer preferred pricing, blind shipping and dedicated account management. Click here to learn more.


Are you wanting strong followership of your change efforts?

The Federal Communications Commission has long sought to improve accessibility to communications networks by people with disabilities by making it easier to find the right resources for the disability. As new technologies emerged, the commission has issued updates to cover accessibility to those technologies. But until recently something had slipped through the cracks.
When Section 716 of the Communications Act was added, it was supposed to enforce access to advanced communications devices "such as computers, laptops and tablets used for e-mail, to be accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, unless doing so is not achievable." But the Consumer Electronics Association and the Information Technology Industry Council argued that Section 716 does not cover Internet browsers, because they are not hardware; they are tools for "information location" and not communication. This is despite the pervasiveness of Web-based e-mail and social networks.
The rule is unlikely to cause much disruption, however, thanks to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act Amendment, which requires agencies to buy and use accessible products. Browser-makers have worked on 508 compliance for years. Microsoft (Internet Explorer), Mozilla (Firefox) and Google (Chrome) all support Section 508 and have submitted Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates, stating compliance.
But mobile browsers are different from those on the desktop, and the FCC's new rules could help ensure browser-makers keep accessibility in mind. The requirements apply to browsers installed on mobile phones and other equipment that are manufactured on or after Oct. 8, 2013.

Brazile: JFK's legacy is on display today
I was only 3 when President John F. Kennedy died, but I'll never forget what happened that day as my grandmother and others cried. You see, we were Catholics living down in the then-segregated Deep South. Kennedy was our hope for a better tomorrow.
I was 8 when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. died, five years later. I've not had an event impact me so strongly except the loss of family members.
King was bringing the better tomorrow Kennedy had promised. Still, we had Kennedy's brother, Bobby.
Two months and two days later, we lost Bobby Kennedy to another assassin's bullet. Bobby was the last public figure big enough to carry our hopes and strong enough to make a difference. In August, the Democratic Convention was nominating a new candidate.
Thousands of young men and women had converged on Chicago to peacefully protest the ongoing Vietnam War. They were holding a "Festival of Life" near the convention hall when a confrontation erupted. Over three days, more confrontations took place, and ended with what the so-called Walker Report, issued by a commission headed by future Illinois Gov. Daniel Walker, called a "police riot," as students were beaten bloody.
Inside the hall, Mike Wallace and Dan Rather, both of CBS News, were knocked around by convention security. Connecticut Sen. Abraham Ribicoff spoke from the podium of "Gestapo tactics in the streets of Chicago," while the mayor of Chicago, Richard J. Daley, was caught by TV cameras yelling curses at the senator.
The Democratic disunity that came out of the convention led in no small way to the election of Richard Nixon and the crimes of Watergate.
In 1992, after her sister divorced her husband, a grandchild separated from his wife, and Windsor Castle caught fire, Queen Elizabeth referred to that year as "annus horribilis." I was about to write "decadis horribilis" in regard to John Kennedy's death 50 years ago and what followed. But, terrible as that day was, my aching feelings are overridden by his hope and legacy. Together, Bobby, Martin and John inspired those of us who were left to carry on, as John said in is inaugural address, "knowing that here on Earth, God's work must truly be our own."
John F. Kennedy's legacy is formidable. He was our first Catholic president. While a woman hasn't broken the glass ceiling to the Oval Office yet, the world is open to the possibility, even anticipating it. Once Kennedy overcame the first barrier to the presidency, those remaining were a frontier we were bound to cross.
Kennedy opened the space age, not only setting the goal of putting a man on the moon, but additional goals of developing a nuclear rocket that would allow the "exciting and ambitious exploration of space, perhaps beyond the moon, perhaps to the very end of the solar system itself." Today, we are in a race with India and Europe, China and Russia to be the first to land a man, or woman, on Mars.
Kennedy, at Amherst College a month before his death, said America should be known for more than its industrial and military might. "I look forward to an America which commands respect throughout the world not only for its strength but for its civilization as well," he said. He wanted America to be a country that gives "full recognition of the place of the artist."
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick was 7 when Kennedy was killed, living in Chicago. He watched the funeral with his grandparents and saw his grandfather weep. "It was an insight to what JFK's administration and his leadership meant to a couple of third-grade-level educated black people who had grown up in the South," he told The Republican of Springfield, Mass.
Kennedy conceived and developed the Peace Corps, where Americans give two years of their lives helping underdeveloped countries in training workers. When Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines, the Peace Corps was already there. In fact, some 8,700 volunteers have served in the Philippines since 1961, and more than 210,000 people have served in a total of 139 countries.
The Civil Rights struggle began in earnest under Kennedy. He addressed the issues enveloping the nation, and especially the segregated South. He recognized that it was more than a political or legal issue. "We are confronted primarily with a moral issue. It is as old as the scriptures and is as clear as the American Constitution."
In New York, Kennedy outlined his support for a Medicare program - the very same one we have now. In that speech he met identical arguments being raised against Obamacare.
Kennedy touched the nation's idealism. He inspired. He set goals. Very few were reached during his presidency. But they were realized. John Kennedy's most lasting legacy is the decency and idealism he inspired, a commitment to being a better people and nation, a vision for New Frontiers.

Q: List of objects within Class definition I'm in process of learning C# and have a question about behavior and best practice in a particular instance. I'm creating a class as below:
public class DecryptObj
{
    private string key;
    private int numMatches;
    private string decryptStr;

    private static List<DecryptObj> _decryptList = new List<DecryptObj>();

....
}

So I've got a class that has 3 fields and a list of objects of that class. My assumption is that by declaring the list as static that there is only one instance of this list. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.) My question is if it would be better (best practice) to declare a second class that is the list instead. Please feel free to comment on other things stylistically as I'd like to learn what others do.
Thanks!

A: It depends. If you need only 1 list of that class, this is the proper way to do this. If you multiple list of that class, maybe it's better to declare another class for it

Nearly 600 dogs rescued from Tennessee puppy mill, some brought to Michigan
Dogs from Tennessee who were found in a puppy mill have been brought to Detroit for treatment.
(WXYZ) — Animal rescue workers say nearly 600 dogs were living in deplorable conditions down in Tennessee. Now, a rescue based in Michigan is helping them along their lengthy recovery ahead.
Battling multiple infections and numerous medical needs, the recently rescued dachshunds have been through incredibly horrible circumstances. The raid of a puppy mill in Madison County, Tennessee, coming after a lengthy investigation into cruelty.
Here in metro Detroit, animal rights advocates, including Emily Seward from Dachshund Haus Rescue, have already stepped up to care for the animals.
"They were, and continue to be, in pretty rough shape," Seward said.
For her, it's simply unimaginable how someone could neglect dogs so badly, and police say behind a 10-foot-tall privacy fence, the dogs had to face extreme abuse for a decade.
Other breeds on the property also included doberman and sharpei, and some of the dogs did not survive.
Police say the dog owners who were selling them as part of a business had already been busted for abuse and neglect years ago.
As investigators crack down on those behind the illegal operation, the dogs are now finally being given the attention they deserve after being rescued over the weekend.
Donations can help the Dachshund Hous Rescue care for those dogs. However, they are not available for adoption now, and are considered evidence in a criminal case.

Phys. , 14, 12465-12477, doi:10.5194/acp-14-12465-2014.
Atmospheric black carbon (BC) absorbs solar radiation, and exacerbates global warming through exerting positive radiative forcing (RF). However, the contribution of BC to ongoing changes in global climate is under debate. Anthropogenic BC emissions, and the resulting distribution of BC concentration, are highly uncertain. In particular, long-range transport and processes affecting BC atmospheric lifetime are poorly understood. Here we discuss whether recent assessments may have overestimated present-day BC radiative forcing in remote regions. We compare vertical profiles of BC concentration from four recent aircraft measurement campaigns to simulations by 13 aerosol models participating in the AeroCom Phase II intercomparison. An atmospheric lifetime of BC of less than 5 days is shown to be essential for reproducing observations in remote ocean regions, in line with other recent studies. Adjusting model results to measurements in remote regions, and at high altitudes, leads to a 25% reduction in AeroCom Phase II median direct BC forcing, from fossil fuel and biofuel burning, over the industrial era. The sensitivity of modelled forcing to BC vertical profile and lifetime highlights an urgent need for further flight campaigns, close to sources and in remote regions, to provide improved quantification of BC effects for use in climate policy.

George R.R. Martin Won't Finish 'The Winds Of Winter' Before 'GOT' Season 6 & He's Just As Upset As You
by Danielle Campoamor
On Jan. 2nd it became officially official: George R.R. Martin will not finish his latest novel, The Winds of Winter, before Game of Thrones returns to HBO in April of this year. 2016 is going to be a rough one, you guys.
The author and Jon Snow destroyer posted on his blog early Saturday morning that the writing "did not go as fast or as well as I would have liked", quick to point out that while Martin's fans, editors, publishers, HBO, agents and, well, everyone is disappointed, no one is more disappointed than him. He went on to write,
But the book's not done.Nor is it likely to be finished tomorrow, or next week. Yes, there's a lot written. Hundreds of pages. Dozens of chapters. (Those 'no pages done' reports were insane, the usual garbage internet journalism that I have learned to despise). But there's also a lot still left to write. I am months away still... and that's if the writing goes well. (Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn't.) Chapters still to write, of course... but also rewriting. I always do a lot of rewriting, sometimes just polishing, sometimes pretty major restructures.
The delay presents a potential problem for the HBO series, which is quickly catching up to the books and could inevitably reveal "spoilers" that haven't been revealed in the novels. Martin says he is aware of this growing concern, writing that he is willing to "break his own rules" and laid out his deadlines and how the Game of Thrones team was going to timeline the books and the show. Those deadlines, of course, came and went.
So, will the show spoil the novels? Martin's answer is short and complicated, all at once.
Maybe. Yes and no. Look, I never thought the series could possibly catch up with the books, but it has. The show moved faster than I anticipated and I moved more slowly.
As you can imagine, readers and viewers alike took to twitter to voice their disappointment, concern and (surprisingly) their support of George R.R. Martin because hey, writing is hard and deadlines are stressful.
Martin gave numerous reasons why another deadline has come and gone, sighting his nephew's wedding, an appearance with the Staten Island Direwolves, his consistent problem with deadlines in general, the popularity of the show and, inevitably, himself.
But I won't make excuses. There are no excuses. No one else is to blame. Not my editors and publishers, not HBO, not David & Dan. It's on me. I tried, and I am still trying.
For now, the new deadline is "when it's done, it is done" and Game of Thrones fans the world over is hoping this is a deadline Martin can - and will - actually keep.


One of my biggest goals for my Twitch channel since summer was to reach 100 followers on the djtatsujin Twitch channel. It took a touch longer than I projected, but, the other week, we managed to squeak by and top that magic number.
It was another inspiration that had me breaking out the drawing pad to do a "thank you" doodle for those who follow on social media.
On that same note, I've worked with the Hightension Gaijin over the past couple of years, and it's been amazing to see his channel grow. With my channel hitting 100 followers, I just happened to notice the Omoroi Yankee Twitch channel has rolled over 12,500 followers at blazing speed!
In all honesty, I have no idea what new goal I should set for myself with the Twitch channel. A sort of "achievement system" is planned for a November launch on the Twitch service, so it's possible one of those milestones could spark a personal goal for me. In the present, though, thanks to everyone who has supported my Twitch efforts up to this point!


Since the UT Health Science Center has moved to its new DBA of UT Health San Antonio, Marketing, Communications & Media is about to roll out a new version of our internal e-newsletter, what heretofore has been called HSC Express. This revamped and refreshed newsletter will be produced using Newsweaver, a communications email tool designed to be more personalized, relevant and impactlful. As part of the revamp, we need a new name for HSC Express, as HSC is no longer being used and Express is not indicative of what the product is—an internal newsletter.
Here are a few possibilities from which to choose, or feel free to add you own ideas below.


How Does Cornea Thickness Affect Intraocular Pressure?
I've been told normal eye pressures are less than 20. When I went to the doctor a few days ago mine were 22 to 24 in each eye; he then measured my cornea thickness and said it was thick enough to deduct points off the pressures and that they were actually in the normal range. Is that correct? I never heard of that before. My eyes today feel like they are sore/bruised—is that normal?
You are correct that intraocular pressures are typically less than 20. However, that pressure measurement can be falsely elevated by a thicker, and potentially more rigid cornea. The Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study found that study patients with elevated pressures (greater than 24 mm Hg) and thicker corneas, were dramatically lower risk of developing glaucoma than those patient with elevated pressures and normal or thin corneas.
I don't know what to say about the sore, bruised feeling that you have. It may be that the doctor performed several pressure measurements and pachymetry measurements (to determine your corneal thickness) and in so doing, irritated the surface of cornea a bit. Pressures in the low 20s are very unlikely to cause a sore or bruised feeling.

How the governors of Iowa, Utah, and North Dakota pivoted and issued public health orders to contain recent coronavirus surges
Nov 23, 2020 Schedule News

The US is fighting against a surge of new cases of coronavirus across the country.
Governors of Iowa, Utah, and North Dakota all enforced their first statewide mask mandate this month.
The governors cited alarming increases of coronavirus cases in each state that prompted the new mask mandates and caused them to change their stances on the policies.
Cases of coronavirus are surging across the United States. As more people congregate indoors in the cold weather and pandemic fatigue leads to more risk-taking behavior, data shows an alarming surge of new daily coronavirus cases.
The US has a total of over 12 million confirmed cases and over 250,000 deaths from coronavirus, according to Johns Hopkins University.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has urged the public in recent weeks to forgo any travel for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and a bipartisan group of governors from seven states penned an op-ed in the Washington Post asking families to "reconsider" spending the holiday with "people outside your household."
In addition to recommendations from the national level, a number of states and cities have announced new restrictions in the wake of the rising cases, including three governors who have pivoted from their previous stances to enforce statewide mask mandates.
Here's how the governors of Utah, Iowa, and South Dakota eventually ordered the policies in response to the country's third wave.
Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds previously dismissed ideas of a mask mandate as "just kind of a feel-good" measure.

In July, Reynolds said on a Des Moines radio show that she would not enforce a mask mandate, which she brushed off, saying she believes in Iowans.
"No, I'm not going to mandate masks. I trust Iowans. I believe in Iowans," she said on the show, The Quad-City Times reported in July. "Most of the states or entities that have done that, they've actually gone as far as to say we're not going to enforce it, so it's just kind of a feel-good."
In the month of July, Iowa was seeing record cases of new daily cases. The Gazette reported on July 4 that the new daily case surpassed Iowa's peak seven-day rolling average. According to the COVID Tracking Project as of July 30, Iowa had a total of over confirmed 43,000 cases of coronavirus.
In September, Reynolds said that the state's goal was to "reduce the spread of the virus" but she believed "we can get there without a mask mandate," according to the Associated Press.
Utah Governor Gary Herbert did not enforce a mask mandate, explaining he did not "want this to become a divisive issue."

Herbert did not opt for a mask mandate, saying in June he didn't want wearing masks to "become a divisive issue." The governor did not adopt a statewide mask mandate even as key lawmakers including Utah House Speaker Brad Wilson and state Senate President J. Stuart Adams encouraged mask requirements, Deseret News reported in July.
The lawmakers spoke out as multiple Utah business leaders signed a letter calling for a mask mandate, citing the high coronavirus infection rates.
According to the COVID Tracking project, Utah had a total of over 40,000 coronavirus cases on July 31.
North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum did not make mask recommendations into mask mandates prior to this month.

Burgum did not require state residents to wear a mask but encouraged residents to do so.
"So if you're someone that can't wear a mask for whatever reason just join in the chorus of thanking people who are and have empathy to understand they may have a reason: a family member, a child someone else they are in close working conditions at work," Burgum said in July, according to KVRR.
According to the COVID Tracking project, North Dakota had a total of over 6,400 cases of coronavirus on July 31.

The three states have seen record new daily cases, as the US goes through the third wave of a surge of coronavirus cases.
According to the COVID Tracking Project, North Dakota had over 22,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus on October 1. On November 1, the state had over 45,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus, doubling the amount from its previous month.
Iowa reported over 86,000 confirmed cases at the top of the month of October, but on November 1 reported over 121,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus, according to the COVID Tracking Project.
In Utah, there were over 74,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus on October 1st and over 116,000 confirmed cases on November 1st, according to the COVID Tracking Project.
On November 8, Herbert changed course from his previous stance and announced a state of emergency that included a mask mandate for Utah.

The order required everyone to wear masks at all times in public, in addition to any time they are within six feet of someone they do not reside with. The executive orders, which included restrictions on social gathering, will remain in effect until November 23.
Herbert's office warned the mask mandate "will be extended for the foreseeable future."
Herbert said "it is time for the divisiveness to end" as he explained the new order.

In November, Herbert issued new mask mandates as case counts rose at "an alarming rate."
"Masks do not negatively affect our economy and wearing them is the easiest way to slow the spread of the virus," he said in a video. "We cannot afford to debate this issue any longer."
Herbert called for "all of us as Utahns to unite making whatever sacrifices are necessary to help our neighbor, and to bring healing back to our state."

On November 13, Burgum announced an executive order that requires everyone to wear masks in all indoor public spaces and in outdoor spaces where social distancing is not feasible. The order stated it will be in effect until December 13.
Burgum said, "our situation has changed, and we must change with it."

Burgum cited the high rise in coronavirus cases as the reason for his pivot to enforcing mask mandates.
"Our state is caught in the middle of a skyrocketing national COVID-19 storm," he said in a video when announcing the new measures put in place in the wake of the coronavirus.
"Since the beginning, we've taken a data-driven approach to our pandemic response, focusing on saving lives and livelihoods," he added. "Right now, the data demands a higher level of mitigation efforts to reverse these dangerous trends, to slow the spread of this virus, and to avoid the need for any economic shutdowns. Our situation has changed, and we must change with it."
On November 16, Reynolds signed a "Public Health Disaster proclamation" that included the first mask mandate coming from the Iowa governor.

On November 16, Reynolds signed a new "Public Health Disaster proclamation," which included the state's first mask mandate. The mandate requires everyone must wear a mask or face covering while in public indoor spaces, and anytime when they spend 15 minutes or longer within six feet of someone who is not part of their household, the proclamation said.
The proclamation also mandated various other measures including the restriction of indoor gatherings that include more than 15 attendees. Restaurants, gyms, and casinos may remain open if they adhere to the various guidelines listed in the proclamation.
The state of public health disaster emergency is in effect until December 10, according to the proclamation.
Reynolds said that while "no one wants to do this," the pandemic's alarming number of cases prompted action.

Reynolds pointed out the severity of the coronavirus when announcing the state's mask mandate.
"The pandemic in Iowa is the worst it has ever been," Reynolds said in an announcement, according to NBC News.
"No one wants to do this. I don't want to do this," she added, according to NBC News.

Rapid limits access to Central Station, closes Amtrak station
by: WOODTV.com staff
Posted: Mar 20, 2020 / 07:52 AM EDT / Updated: Mar 20, 2020 / 07:52 AM EDT
The Rapid Central Station in Grand Rapids. (March 17, 2020)
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — In an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19, The Rapid is limiting access to Rapid Central Station and closing Vernon J. Ehlers Amtrak Station.
Rapid riders will still be able to purchase Wave card and reloads at Rapid Central Station, located at 250 Grandville Avenue SW, but must come in through the southeast entrance.
Greyhound customers who need to buy tickets must wait at the southeast entrance to be escorted into the building by security or a Greyhound worker. Customers can also purchase a ticket from the Greyhound driver.
Riders can stay up to date on The Rapid's COVID-19 response online.
The closing of Vernon J. Ehlers Amtrak Station, located at 440 Century Avenue SW, comes after Amtrak suspended its train service route between Chicago and Grand Rapids due ridership decline amid the COVID-19 outbreak.
MDHHS: 1st case of COVID-19 variant B.1.1.7 found in Michigan
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Michigan on Saturday confirmed 1,932 more COVID-19 cases, bringing the total to 535,534.
The state reported 103 additional deaths linked to the virus — 90 of those were discovered during a review of vital records. Michigan has now recorded a total of 13,804 deaths since the virus was first detected in the state.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Governors bitterly accused the Trump administration Friday of deceiving the states about the amount of COVID-19 vaccine they can expect to receive as they ramp up vaccinations for senior citizens and others. But the government attributed the anger to confusion and misguided expectations on the part of the states.
Meanwhile, the race between the vaccine and the virus may be about to heat up: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned that the new, more infectious variant first seen in Britain will probably become the dominant version in the U.S. by March.
