The final word source for Detroit sports information, scores, highlights and analysis, including Lions, Tigers, Red Wings, Pistons, Wolverines and Spartans. ESPN's Charlie Gibson puts a bow on Mission Russia from a scintillating remaining, as France claimed World Cup glory. Relive the most effective of France's victory over Croatia within the World Cup final in LEGO kind. Earlier than a house crowd in Cincinnati, Frazier edged past Dodgers rookie Pederson, 15-14, within the last spherical. This derby marked the debut of timed rounds with bonuses for distance.
The Derby expanded to a three-spherical format in '91, where players had 10 outs to hit as many dwelling runs as they may with the top four advancing to Spherical 2 and the top two squaring off in the final. Ripken won the Derby in the midst of his AL MVP marketing campaign. He was the first player to win the Derby and the All-Star MVP, as well as the primary Derby winner to additionally homer within the All-Star Sport.
But after seeing Croatia come again from the useless on a number of occasions over three win-or-go-dwelling games, I am simply not satisfied it is going to be the stroll in the park for France that many expect. • Schwarber is one in every of seven gamers to hit a house run a minimum of 117 mph this season, along with Joey Gallo, Judge, Nomar Mazara, Marcell Ozuna, Hanley Ramirez and Stanton.
And although Ervin Santana has yet to pitch within the Majors in 2018 after undergoing finger surgical procedure in February, he's currently on a rehab project and was an All-Star final yr. With a $14 million crew option and a $1 million buyout for '19, Santana could be an inexpensive trade goal for a rotation-needy club if he proves to be healthy earlier than July 31.

During four recent months of health setbacks and gradual recovery, I worked hard to "grow happiness" instead of just being frustrated and depressed. It was nearly four months of seldom leaving the house, of rarely attending church or being able to hold a conversation, of not seeing friends or going out even for coffee, of cancelling trips and seldom being on the computer.
In order to grow happiness instead of frustration, I had to accept my limitations and adjust my expectations to what was possible. Aargh!
My technique was each day to imagine myself holding a salad plate in my hands. I imagined life as a feast spread on a banquet table before me from which I could fill my plate. Because I had a salad plate instead of a dinner plate to fill, my options were more limited than usual and I did best if I was intentional about my choice. Imagining a smaller array of items on my plate helped me focus on what I could do instead of what I couldn't. It helped me remember that every choice I make about how to use my energy and time is important.
Dietitians say that when we eat from smaller and not larger plates we are more likely to eat healthier sized portions of food. We tend to savor each bite of food more and feel satiated with smaller portions. We avoid the guilt and physical discomfort that often attend gluttony.
Sometimes I made it into the Clean Plate Club. Then I might choose to go back for more. But if I could not finish what I had with anticipation put on my plate, I found my disappointment was less than if I had filled a larger plate with an overabundance of expectations. I grew happiness by putting life on a salad plate.
For over a month I had to downsize to a saucer, which meant limiting myself to only one or two choices per day. I kept my focus, put one foot in front of the other, and eventually changed back to a dessert plate. I hope to step up to a salad plate this week. Hooray! It is incredibly exciting to plan what options I might choose. Strange….but true: Acceptance of the truth and expectations right for the day do grow happiness.
Of course, I still wish I had a larger plate, much as I wish my metabolism was as fast as when I was 17-years-old. I still dislike turning away from food I love and stuff I want to do. But whether I had health issues or not, I know that trying to consume or do everything I want makes me unable to enjoy anything as much as it deserves. Small plates are a good idea for many reasons.

Place the trimmed asparagus in an ice bath for a minute first. This pre-treatment helps keep the green color.
Reserve as many asparagus tips as you would like as garnish and cook the asparagus pieces in a large pot of boiling salted water until very tender but still green, about 6 minutes. Drain.
Transfer the asparagus to a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
Working in batches, puree the remaining tips and pieces in a blender until smooth, adding about 3 tablespoons of the ice water to each batch to help form a puree. With the machine running, drizzle 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil through the feed tube into the soup. Process until well blended. Season the soup to taste with fleur de sel.
Ladle the soup into 4 soup bowls. Cut the reserved asparagus tips lengthwise in half and float them atop the soup. Sprinkle each serving with a pinch of fleur de sel. Drizzle each serving with 1/2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil and a dollop of Parmesan Custard (see recipe below). Serve immediately.
Do ahead: The soup and reserved asparagus tips can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover the soup and refrigerate. Keep the tips refrigerated.
Blend in thermomix at 65 Celcius for 5 minutes.
Blend once more at 75 Celcius for 5 minutes then add cream until texture is achieved.

Schools in Peninsular Malaysia closed due to haze, King expresses concern over smog

https://str.sg/J4Vf
SHAH ALAM/JAKARTA (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK, ASSOCIATED PRESS) - At least four schools in Peninsular Malaysia were forced to close on Thursday (Sept 12) due to very unhealthy Air Pollution Index (API) readings, blamed on smoke drifting in from forest fires in Indonesia.
Several areas in Malaysia, especially on the west coast of the peninsula and west Sarawak, have been shrouded in smoke over the past week as a result of the haze.
The closures of three schools in Johan Setia, Klang, are in line with an education ministry circular that requires a school to close when the API reading in the area breaches the 200 mark, the Selangor Education Department said. An API reading between 101 and 200 signals unhealthy air, while the very unhealthy range is 201-300.
The schools affected in Klang are Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Johan Setia, SK Jalan Kebun and Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Jalan Kebun, the Bernama news agency reported.
Air quality in Pahang moved into the unhealthy range last night, prompting the administration of the school SK Rompin in Kuala Rompin to tell students to stay away on Thursday.
The school said the resumption of classes on Friday (Sept 13) would depend on the API reading on Thursday, The Star reported. As at 2pm on Thursday, the API reading in Rompin had fallen to 82 within the moderate range.
In Penang, the state government has directed schools and sports organisations to stop all outdoor activities after API reading in the south of the island in Balik Pulau hit 137 on Thursday.
State Environment Committee chairman Phee Boon Poh said 100,000 face masks would be issued immediately through state assemblymen.
"Priority will be for schools on the island as the mainland's API readings are below the critical level," he said at a press conference in the presence of Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow and state health committee chairman Dr Afif Bahardin in Komtar.
Mr Phee said the state would also come down hard on those who carried out open burning by imposing the maximum fine of RM500,000 (S$164,920). He said schools would remain open for now unless the situation worsened.
On Tuesday, hundreds of schools in eastern Sarawak state bordering Indonesia's Kalimantan province were closed for a day after air quality spiked to unhealthy levels.
The Malaysian Meteorological Department said on Thursday it is now conducting cloud-seeding exercises in Sarawak in an effort to combat the haze. MetMalaysia director-general Jailan Simon said the cloud-seeding was being conducted in Sri Aman, Kuching and Samarahan to help induce rain in affected areas on Thursday.
"Our staff and the Royal Malaysian Air Force will be doing it from Labuan, " he said when contacted. Asked if similar measures would be carried out in the Peninsula, Jailan said such a move would depend on weather conditions.
Meanwhile, the King has advised everyone to reduce outdoor activities, drink more water and stop open burning to counter the effects of the worsening haze.
King Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin expressed his concern over the air pollution index in a statement released by Comptroller of the Royal Household Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin.
"The King advised the people to be aware of the air quality and take preventive measures to lower the health effects of the haze," said the statement. "All landowners must ensure their lands or premises are not encroached to conduct open burning by irresponsible individuals," it added.
Haze in region gets worse as hot spots rise
Malaysia minister Yeo Bee Yin slams Indonesia's denial of haze: The facts speak for itself
Massive jungle areas in Indonesia's Sumatra and Borneo islands are ablaze as thousands of personnel battle to quell the fires, frequently started to clear land for crop plantations. Schools in most parts of Sumatra have also been shut to protect children from the thick, noxious haze .
A total of 1,619 hotspots were detected in Sumatra and Kalimantan in Borneo, according to the Asean Specialised Meteorological Centre on Thursday.
The haze is an annual problem for Southeast Asia. Record Indonesian forest fires in 2015 spread haze across a swath of South-east Asia, including Singapore, and according to a study by Harvard and Columbia universities, hastened 100,000 deaths.
The fires are often started by smallholders and plantation owners to clear land for planting. Many areas of Indonesia are prone to rapid burning because of the draining of swampy peatland forests for pulp wood and palm oil plantations.

African Children's Choir to light up the stage at Mint Hill churches
Matthews – Mint Hill Weekly
Posted by Crystal O'Gorman on March 9, 2015 in Arts & Entertainment, News
MINT HILL – The African Children's Choir will take the stage for several free performances at Mint Hill churches later this month.
The choir, known as ACC, is a program within humanitarian relief nonprofit Music for Life, created more than 30 years ago to bring global awareness to the needs of orphaned and destitute children living in Africa.
Music for Life has raised more than $1 million to build primary schools, literacy schools and children's homes. The charity also has used the funds to pay for the secondary and higher-level education for children in seven African countries: Uganda, Rwanda, South Africa, South Sudan, Ghana, Nigeria and Kenya.
More than 1,000 children have traveled with ACC since its inception, and Music for Life has supported 100,000 children through various relief efforts and educational projects.
The African Children's Choir selects youth ambassadors – children 7 to 10 years old, from primary and literacy schools – to perform with the choir for one year. The children continue receiving an education while traveling the world, performing with the choral group.
Choir 43 – the 43rd choir group in its history – consists of 18 children from Kampala, Uganda, who will tour North America, spending their first month performing at churches in North Carolina.
Emily Gronow, from Wales, will travel with Choir 43 as its tour leader, working as a liaison with the media and managing the children and staff members. She said the children are excited to be in the U.S.
"The children are full of energy and life," Gronow said. "They are experiencing a lot of firsts – discovering snow, learning how a vacuum works and tasting different foods.
"Yesterday, I took them to each pick out and buy their own pair of shoes. They were so proud … You take the little things for granted, and to be able to come down to that level was really a profound moment for me."
Tina Sipp, event coordinator for ACC, said approximately 75 percent of Music for Life's funding comes from ACC's church performances.
"We do special events for galas in New York City and Texas, and we've worked a lot with Bono (of U2) and ONE.org, but most of our performances and funds come from the collective support received from churches all over the world," she said.
While the events are free, attendees are encouraged to donate. The concerts also feature a production table with CDs and African jewelry for sale, with proceeds benefitting Music for Life's education programs.
"The education we provide for them means a way out of poverty," Sipp said. "… Every dollar translates into radical change – being able to provide for their basic needs, food, a safe place to live and to have a dream. We follow them through adulthood and continue to pay for their education. It's life-changing."
Special Nabisubi is a 24-year-old Ugandan who toured the U.K. with ACC when she was 9 years old. Nabisubi now travels with Choir 43 as a staff member and mentor.
This is Nabisubi's first time traveling with the tour, but she previously spent several years working at ACC's Music for Life training center in Kampala, Uganda. She said it's a blessing to give back to children who are walking the same path she did.
"It's a privilege to see how they grow, from knowing nothing. It blesses my heart that I am contributing something," Nabisubi said.
Nabisubi said receiving support from Music for Life and ACC changed her life.
"(Because of ACC and Music for Life) I've been able to get an education, even receiving an accounting degree from university," she said. "(ACC and Music for Life) are my family, and they've built my spirit and encouraged me in every way."
Performing in Mint Hill
ACC's Choir 43 will sing and dance in three 80-minute performances at two Mint Hill churches.
The choir will perform twice – at 8:45 a.m. and again at 11:10 a.m. – at Blair Road United Methodist, located at 9135 Blair Road.
That evening, the choir will host a 7 p.m. performance at Arlington Baptist Church, located at 9801 Arlington Church Road.
ACC's music mixes African rhythms with soulful hymns. The choir will perform a capella ethnic worship music, along with African drums. The group also will sing classic gospel songs, such as "Oh Happy Day" and "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands," with instrumental accompaniment tracks.
Performers change costumes three times, wearing traditional Ugandan garb, and perform traditional dances from the Mwaga and Magunjju tribes.
ACC has received worldwide recognition performing throughout the U.K. and U.S. The group performed on the season six finale of "American Idol," received a Grammy nomination and has performed for Queen Elizabeth II.
"The programs have great costumes and music, but the most captivating part comes from the spirit the children exude on stage … authentic joy," Sipp said. "They have a powerful voice."
Call Blair Road UMC at 704-545-6785 or Arlington Baptist at 704-545-4589 for more information on the upcoming performances.

Senate Democrats on HOPE Scholarship
"Today is the end of the HOPE Scholarship as we know it," said Senate Democratic Leader Robert Brown. "Governor Deal rejected the opportunity to give children from 94% of Georgia families full tuition for earning a 3.0 G.P.A. and instead used gambling dollars to help the wealthy do what they can already do for themselves: pay for a college education."
During Senate debate of H.B. 326, Senate Democrats offered a paid-for plan that would give a full-tuition scholarship to all students who earned a 3.0 G.P.A. in high school and whose family earned less than $140,000 per year. "The Senate had a clear choice, and unfortunately the Republican caucus chose to cut the HOPE Scholarship for almost everyone," noted Senator Jason Carter. "Next year, the HOPE Scholarship will cover only 80% of tuition and will likely continue to decrease over time. Our students deserve better."
Additionally, the Senate Democratic plan would provide students from families earning more than $140,000 a year a low interest loan to cover the cost of college. "Our plan would have maximized the number of students who received a full HOPE Scholarship," Carter said. "Under the Governor's plan, there will be fewer students who can afford to go to college and we will have fewer college graduates."
Emory professor Devin Fergus and Georgia State University professor Vincent Lloyd wrote last week that requirements in Governor Deal's proposal would have a harsh impact on Georgia's rural communities. Their survey of the data showed that just 6.6% of students in Georgia's 100 smallest counties would qualify for the Zell Miller Scholarship.[1] They concluded that "our resources would be better directed at those thousands of students from rural Georgia and from working-class families whose lives will be dramatically changed for the worse if HOPE is taken away."
Senators Brown and Carter called on Governor Nathan Deal to use lottery reserve funds to grandfather students currently receiving HOPE. They are also planning to introduce and hold hearings on new legislation to ensure that the majority of students eligible for HOPE under the current standards will have full HOPE now and in the future. "The funds are there for the state to keep its promise to current HOPE Scholars," Senator Carter said. "The Governor's plan breaks that promise."
Sen. Robert Brown serves as Democratic Leader. He represents the 26th Senate District which includes Twiggs County and portions of Bibb, Houston, and Wilkinson counties.

There has been a 'tremendous' response to a garda appeal for information on the disappearance of Dublin schoolboy Philip Cairns, who vanished 21 years ago.
More than 80 people have so far phoned gardaí or Crimestoppers with information since yesterday's renewed appeal.
Detectives say they want all people with strong suspicions or direct information to call them in confidence.
The appeal included a reconstruction on the Crimecall programme of Philip's normal route back to school from his home on Ballyroan Road in Rathfarnham in south Dublin.
Philip's younger brother, Eoin, made an emotional appeal on behalf of his family for people who know what happened to Philip and where he is to contact gardaí.
The Crimestoppers Trust has teamed up with gardaí to offer a service for people who may wish to give information anonymously.
Crimestoppers is offering a €10,000 reward for information about Philip's disappearance. The Crimestoppers phone number is 1800 250025.

Covering Climate Now
Covering the Pandemic
When showing credibility imperils a story's subjects
July 15, 2019 By Megan Frye
San Pedro Sula, Honduras, via Angel Ortega/Flickr.
In their May 4 article for The New York Times, "Inside Gang Territory in Honduras: 'Either They Kill Us or We Kill Them,' " reporter Azam Ahmed and photojournalist Tyler Hicks tell the story of a small gang called Casa Blanca and its efforts to push the notoriously brutal MS-13 gang out of the Rivera Hernández neighborhood of San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
After the article was published, Ahmed wrote for the Times' Reader Center that he "wanted to reflect the realities of life in Rivera Hernández through the voices of those living there — gangsters, residents, shopkeepers and families." In the story, Ahmed and Hicks had included the real first names of the subjects, photos of some of their faces, a visible license plate, and a map of the gang territories.
Three weeks after Ahmed and Hicks' story appeared, Salvadoran anthropologist Juan José Martínez d'Aubuisson, author of A Year Inside MS-13: See, Hear and Shut Up, criticized the Times for identifying the story subjects to such a degree. "It didn't sound any alarms with them at all, publishing faces, names, and a map of the neighborhood including the location of the characters' houses?" Martínez d'Aubuisson asks. "To me, it does."
ICYMI: The problem with 'fixers'
Martínez d'Aubuisson published a response to the Times story, in Spanish, on two Central American news sites, and co-authored an English version with anthropologist Amelia Frank-Vitale. "We have known some of these people since 2015, when Juan first went to San Pedro Sula for the first time to write about the city's violence," the two wrote on Latino Rebels. Residents identified in the Times had told Martínez d'Aubuisson that their personal details were published without their consent, the article said. (Martínez d'Aubuisson reached out to a Times representative, who stated that all subjects had consented to participate in the story.) Martínez d'Aubuisson and Frank-Vitale also noted that the Times had scrubbed the web story of "the most damaging photos." In a tweet that afternoon, the Times announced the removal of some of the photos:
.@azamsahmed spent weeks reporting this story in Honduras. All sources gave permission to participate in the article and to be photographed. After the article was published, in an abundance of caution, we removed some photos at the subjects' request. https://t.co/Nga1oo1B2C

Martínez d'Aubuisson and Frank-Vitale's criticism of the Times gained the attention of journalists and activists across Latin America and beyond, setting off debates about what constitutes informed consent in places like San Pedro Sula, where violence attracts foreign conflict reporters. Such coverage exoticizes the regions to a dangerous fault, says Martínez d'Aubuisson. "Rivera Hernández is a very complicated place where one poorly placed little word can unleash a storm."
Critics of the Times piece argue that Western media has a tendency to underestimate, stereotype and "other" foreign regions of the world. Such a dismissive approach toward Honduras muddles understanding of the country, says Honduran photojournalist Tomas Ayuso.
"The feedback loop begins with likely honest attempts at journalism to address the big issues that face the country, but done in a way that doesn't command the same level of respect other countries or stories might demand," Ayuso says. "Without real means to counter the life-threatening issues a problematic piece might have, Hondurans are left to reap what others sowed in the process of getting that assignment done."
Journalists typically ask sources for consent to interview or photograph them for publication; this usually means consent to publish any detail of the interaction. In this case, Times editors say that all subjects were aware of the nature of the story during their meetings with Ahmed and Hicks, and that Ahmed and editors reached out to the subjects shortly before publishing to verify that they were still comfortable with appearing in the article.
According to Martínez d'Aubuisson, however, at least one subject told him she did not give permission for the Times to use her name or image. Perhaps subjects were unaware of how visible their participation in the article might be. Martínez d'Aubuisson says screen grabs of the article and photos were circulating after publication, and that it took several days for problematic photos to be removed. Times editors say the photos were only on the website for a day, and doubt the images circulated widely.
"Rivera Hernández is a very complicated place where one poorly placed little word can unleash a storm," says Salvadoran anthropologist Juan José Martínez d'Aubuisson, who authored a book on MS-13. Photo courtesy of the subject.
The Times does not have a one-size-fits-all answer to granting source anonymity, says international editor Michael Slackman. "Every experience that we are reporting on has to be judged on its own merits," he says. "There are sometimes instances when after publication concerns are raised, and in every single case when it's an issue of someone's safety or security, we have been responsive, as was the case in this article."
Securing consent and identifying subjects is necessary for a story's credibility and can sometimes help subjects, Slackman points out, referring to instances in Venezuela and Yemen where aid workers reached people in need.
"The reality is that our job is to report the truth and that is our guiding ethic," says Amanda J. Crawford, an assistant professor of journalism ethics at the University of Connecticut. "But we still go back to the newsroom after we do our reporting with all our permissions in hand, and we should have the soul-searching conversation about whether we are doing enough to protect people." She thinks the photos that were taken down should never have been published.
"If they gave us permission, is that enough?" she asks. "Who is on the ground and maybe in a better position to tell us this than we are?"
Martínez d'Aubuisson's column ran in Contracorriente, a news website co-founded by Honduran journalist Jennifer Avila, and in Revista Factum, a Salvadoran digital newspaper. César Castro Fagoaga, Revista Factum's editor, says issues of consent and anonymity are consistently part of the news site's editorial conversation. Obtaining permission from a subject is not the same as obtaining informed consent, both of which are the responsibility of the journalists.
"So we don't publish the names, or we change the names; we don't publish photographs," Castro Fagoaga says. Credibility shouldn't hinge on a photo, he adds. "We present a lot of evidence. We publish forensic reports, a ton of things to make sure that the report is credible in itself. So it's not necessary to put a real person in there who is at risk."
Ahmed, the Times' bureau chief for Mexico City, Central America, and the Caribbean, says he spent three weeks reporting the piece and never doubted that he and Hicks had full consent to publish the names and images of their sources.
"I think a lot about what kind of risks people are taking by talking with me," says Ahmed, who has previously lived and reported in Afghanistan and Iraq. "I know we have the luxury of coming in and then leaving. We are not the ones that have to deal with the repercussions and stay behind."
Still, Ahmed says he was surprised by the amount of criticism the piece has drawn. He believes that sensitivities in the area may be heightened as a result of risky foreign journalism in the past, a point highlighted by Martínez d'Aubuisson and Frank-Vitale's column, as well as the US's relationship to Honduras. Ahmed's writing presents his subjects on a big stage, and in minute detail—a level of international attention he says that only major players in global politics are typically accustomed to. "These are communities that have been lambasted by the US administration, and that's become the focal point of a geopolitical argument," he says. "And a lot of the rhetoric around that can seem very disrespectful and at times xenophobic."
Frank-Vitale, the anthropologist, suggests journalists might take a cue from social scientists who often live long-term in the same community. "The convention in anthropology is to mask names, to mask identities, to mask villages and neighborhoods, whatever is necessary to put distance between the description and the actual individuals," Frank-Vitale says, adding that all conflict zones should not be presumed to be similar. "Journalists are looking to document the truth and anthropologists are looking to understand the human condition. In journalism, there is this drive to get fast turnaround and get readership. Sometimes the ethical considerations seem to fall through the cracks or be ignored all together."

A few weeks ago, the Chilean-born, New York-based artist, architect and filmmaker, Alfredo Jaar, was on campus to give a lecture which he titled, "It Is Difficult." The title comes from William Carlos Williams: "It is difficult/ to get the news from poems/ yet men die miserably every day/ for lack/of what is found there" [Asphodel, That Greeny Flower and Other Love Poems: That Greeny Flower].
Jaar has often taken on the difficult task of turning news into poetry, and his own poetry into news. He is well known for memorializing victims of the "dirty wars" in Chile and Argentina. He designed a deeply moving installation at Chile's Museum of Historical Memory and Human Rights called "Geometry of Conscience." His contribution to the Parque de la Paz (Peace Park) in Buenos Aires, "Punto Ciego (Blind Spot)," commemorating the thousands of victims of the Argentine military juntas, is a landmark work among those who labor to construct an architecture of memory that goes beyond history and into conscience.

McDonald's cult classic, the McRib, is coming back
Amazon facility could bring more than 500 jobs to Fargo area
State leaders facing 2nd wave resist steps to curb virus
DES MOINES, Iowa — Even as a long-feared second wave of coronavirus strains hospitals, officials in many hard-hit states are resisting taking stronger action to stop the spread, with public fatigue, skepticism and political calculations running up against and contravening pleas from health experts.
Days before a presidential election that has spotlighted President Donald Trump's scattershot response to the pandemic, new virus infections continued to spiral Friday, eclipsing record caseloads that set off national alarms in the spring and summer.
During those earlier outbreaks, first in the Northeast and then in Sun Belt states, many governors closed schools and businesses and limited public gatherings.
But the new surge, despite being far more widespread, has brought a decidedly more limited response in many states. Most are led by Republican governors backing a president who insists, falsely, that the country is getting the virus under control.
Over the past two weeks, more than 76,000 new virus cases have been reported daily in the U.S. on average, up from about 54,000 in mid-October, according to Johns Hopkins University. Deaths, which usually lag case numbers and hospitalizations, are also rising, from about 700 to more than 800 a day.
The virus has now killed more than 229,000 Americans.
Nevertheless, many officials have resisted calls to enact measures like statewide mask mandates or stricter curbs on the size of gatherings, casting the response to the virus as a matter of individual decision-making.
"At the end of the day, personal responsibility is the only way. People will either choose or not choose to social distance, or choose to wear a mask or not," said Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, a Republican. "What we can do is to remind them is that personal responsibility can protect them."
Lee's state is among those without a blanket mask mandate despite a study released this week showing that areas of Tennessee where people are not required to wear them are seeing the most hospitalizations.
In Iowa, where a record 606 coronavirus patients were hospitalized Friday, one health expert said officials there had been too quick to reopen, along with several neighboring states.
"If we follow the course that the other Midwestern states like Wisconsin, North Dakota and South Dakota have, we're going to have trouble keeping up," said Dr. Ravi Vemuri, an infectious disease specialist at MercyOne hospitals.
Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds, who has rejected mask requirements and said Iowans must learn to live with the virus, continued this week to downplay efforts to contain it.
On Wednesday, Reynolds, who has made frequent campaign appearances for Trump and other candidates surrounded by crowds of maskless supporters, poked fun at Theresa Greenfield, a Democrat running in a tight Senate race, for suspending a campaign tour after a staff member was exposed to someone who tested positive.
"Theresa didn't get very far on her RV tour, did she?" Reynolds said with a laugh. She went on to accuse Greenfield and other Democrats of "hiding in their basements."
In Utah, which is also one of the nation's worst hotspots, Republican Gov. Gary Herbert has ordered mask mandates and limited social gatherings to 10 people or fewer only in counties with the highest transmission rates, not the entire state. The latter measure includes exceptions for religious services and school events.
"This is not an easy thing to enforce. As you drive down the road, you talk about people getting tickets for speeding, but how many are actually speeding?" Herbert said when asked about his resistance to broader mandates.
On Thursday, anti-mask protesters gathered outside the home of Utah state epidemiologist Dr. Angela Dunn, who has recommended that the state reinstate restrictions to avoid overwhelming hospitals.
"It's taken a really big toll on my family and myself," Dunn said. "I think it's really unfortunate we live in a state where people feel that it is OK to harass civil servants."
Herbert, who has not heeded Dunn's recommendation, said protesters were within their rights to criticize him or other elected officials, but that they should leave state employees alone.
"I know we're asking a lot of the people of Utah to be patient," the governor said. "We know that their time is valuable. I would hope that they would put that in a constructive effort."

I have downloaded India 1995 population data (GPW2). Why is there no variation in colours when I view the files in ArcView?
I presume that you are working with the BIL format files in ArcView, from the zip file named v2indi.zip. The BIL files we distribute have no colour map associated with them, this is why they show up as completely black in ArcView when added to the view.
Do you have the Spatial Analyst extension for ArcView? If so, you should convert the image of India in the view to a grid (via the theme menu) and then add that grid to a view. Make certain that you add it as a grid, not an image. It should then have some variation in colour. You can improve the display by changing the class breaks in the legend.
If you do not have access to the Spatial Analyst extension, ArcView will only allow you to display images.
I have imported the country-specific population density grid maps in ArcGIS for Argentina, Mexico and Honduras. I'm trying to join a table of points by latitude/longitude to these maps and export a table with all the data. The problem I'm having is that there does not seem to be any geographic data even though the maps are projected with WGS1984 correctly. I downloaded it from the site in the .bil format.
I am using the GPW data (version 3) for China and I have some problems with understanding the proportional allocation mechanism. The reason that I am asking is that there are so many zeroes and I can not understand how there can be any zero?
How do I convert .BIL format in Arcview/ArcInfo?
How do I get GPW data into GRASS?
How should I cite the GPW3 data?
I am attempting to download and use your 1990 Adjusted Population Numbers for Africa. I have successfully downloaded the zipped BIL file. In order to convert this for use in my GIS software (I am using IDRISI) I need to know information which I cannot find in any of the documentation files you have made accessible. Please can you answer the following questions regarding the BIL format: 1. Is there a header - if so what is its size? 2. What are the maximum and minimum grid co-ordinates for your Africa data? 3. Are the data 8-bit or 16-bit? 4. What reference system do you use, and what the reference units measured in?
I am having difficulties locating the metadata for your population density data of the world, GPWv3. Is the metadata available online?
I am looking for gridded population data and elevation data on the same grid. I saw on your website that you have compiled a population dataset - is there an elevation dataset that can go with this, and can you help me obtain it?
I am using the multibandread function in MATLAB to read in the glds95agi15.bil file I downloaded from CIESIN. I need help setting some of the input parameters for the function. * what is the height (rows), width (elements or columns), and depth (bands) of the file or how do I figure it out? * what is the number format? integer or float? how many bytes?
I am very interested in the gridded population density data for Africa.The source for the maps you provide is cited as the UN, but having contacted them they are unsure of the data you have used to produce your maps.Is it possible to obtain these data from you, including population numbers for different regions of Africa as well as the density calculations that you have mapped?
I downloaded the ArcInfo interchange files and tried (after import) to open them with the ARCGIS 8 software but each time it failed to open the file. I think the sta.adf file is missing (or another one). Could you please help me?
I downloaded the global level data file v2glp95ag.zip I looked into the file content on a unix system using 'more', and found most grid values to be less than 1. This is unexpected, as I expected the number of inhabitants per cell. What did I do wrong?
I downloaded the GPWv3 Population Density .ascii format. I'm having trouble parsing this data correctly. I read in the meta data at the top of the file (lower-left latitude/longitude origin of the grid, cell size, etc) and these seem to make sense. But when I plot all cells with a density greater than 300, the points are not syncing up with the map (i.e. I'm seeing large blobs of population in the Pacific). Am I correct in assuming that the rows of the file begin at the lower-left point given, with the columns representing increasing longitude and rows representing increasing latitude?
I have been trying to download the GRUMP/GPW datasets but the web download does not seem to be working.
I have successfully downloaded the GPW global datasets for the years 1990, 1995 and 2000. I would like to know if it is advisable to compare datasets of different years in order to assess changes in population densities and therefore migration patterns, or if there are constraints that hinder such operation.
I plan to use the global population data. I would like to know what information is stored in the *.stx and *.blw files. Also is there a way to map the grids to (latitude, longitude) ?
I would like to use the population estimates service, but don't know exactly how it works. I installed uDig with a WPS plugin, but I wonder which URL I have to use to connect to the sedac website.
I'm using population density data, 2.5' grid. My question is -- If a small populated island is the only land in a given cell, and its area is smaller than the cell's, how is the population density for the cell computed? Is the population of the island distributed over the whole cell's area? Or is the population density of the island applied to the whole cell?
In GPW data that is comprised of 2.5 arc min cells, are the cells georeferenced from the cell center, or right/left and upper/lower corner? I understand that xllcorner and yllcorner give the starting lat/lon for overall grid position, but are the cell data themselves valued at each lower left corner?
In GPWv3 Population Density Grid data, .ASCII format, what is the definition of "xllcorner" and "yllcorner" values?
In GPWv3, how do you consider the population density in a bin (0.25 deg x 0.25 deg) when it is partly landmass and partly water (e.g., sea, ocean)? Do you evaluate the density as the total number of humans over the total surface of this bin (so, approximately, let's say 30 km x 30 km, even if depending on latitude) or just only over the landmass part?
In GPWv3, what exactly does "No Data" (-9999) mean?
In UN-adjusted 2000 density data, how is the data adjusted to match UN totals ? The Africa UN-adjusted map shows some significant chunks of zero density (e.g, much of Gabon) that don't seem realistic.
I downloaded your Population Grid maps for the United States and the World both at a resolution of 2.5 arc minutes, and I have a few questions. First, what are the units of the grid values? From what I've noticed, they run anywhere from the thousands to 1e-9, which seems kind of strange. Also, at the same resolution, why does the United States have more columns than the world? The data at the top says there are 8688 columns at a cell size of 0.0416666, which would imply 362 longitudinal degrees of data.
My question is about the grid pixel, is the grid center of the pixel or not? I mean, if the latitude begins from 5° and longitude from 65°, is (65,5) the center or one edge of pixel?
Regarding the uniform field of values that fill each population subregion, my hope when I downloaded the 2.5 minute GPWv3 population grid (95ag) file was that they would indicate the population in that 2.5 minute cell, since the documentation refers to 2.5 minute resolution. However, I suspect that they actually represent the sum of the population in the total area of the subregion. What do the values in each cell actually represent?
The maps on the GPW web site report population in the thousands. Is this the same for the grid or is it unscaled?
We are looking for a high-resolution gridded population data for our project. It seems to us that compared to the GWP3 data, the GRUMP data offer a higher spatial detail and probably a more accurate spatial distribution of population. Which would you recommend ?
We have been using the GPW data extensively, but one question I cannot understand is why the data appear not to be available in database format rather than GIS format.
What are the differences between GPW, GRUMP and Landscan?
What are the restrictions on use and redissemination of data?
What has happened to .e00 format option? It appears to have been replaced by something called "grid"?
What is a .BIL image file format?
What is the difference between "..ag" and "...g" files? For example, I've downloaded the population grid for the whole world for 1990, in "grid" format, and there are two sets of raster files. When I open them in ArcGIS, they seem to show similar data, but the range of values for the raster is somewhat different: 0 to 1.24 million versus 1 to 1.17 million.
What is the difference between GPW and GRUMP population grids?
What is the projection used for the data?
What years are the data available for?
Where are the attribute tables for the GPWv3/GRUMP data? I would eventually like to extract statistics (such as population count) using features in another layer, but am not sure that I'll be able to do so given that there are no accompanying attribute tables. Could you advise as to how I should proceed?
Which are the last updated and the next scheduled GPW collected data?
Why can't I make the Import71 work with the GPW data?
Why is there a difference between the population estimates of UN and National Statistical Offices estimates?
Is the data symmetrical from the Equator? In the ascii format using a 0.5 degree resolution, the yllcorner equals -58 degrees. Since there are 286 rows, this represents a total of 143 degrees. Is the upper left corner then at 85 degrees latitude (-58 + 143)?
I divided one 30 Arc-Second (~1km) Basic Demographic Characteristics raster by another and ended up with very high values in the result.

Reuters in £91m deal for Telerate
By Daily Mail Reporter
Updated: 04:28 EST, 21 December 2004
NEWS group Reuters is paying £91m for loss-making data provider Moneyline Telerate to beef up its foreign exchange and fixed-income arms.
It will stump up another £49m to integrate the business with its own and buy out Telerate's Japanese distributor.
Part of the transaction will be satisfied by Reuters handing over its 14% stake in Savvis, a telecoms network provider. Telerate will be reunited with Bridge, the news provider bought by Reuters two years ago. It is being sold by investment bank JP Morgan's private equity arm.
Reuters has been selling more than buying of late. Chief executive Tom Glocer is tidying up the group's assets. Next to go is its telecoms joint venture Radianz.

This letter is an appeal to the sanity and wisdom of the national government and to Ibutho Coal (Pty) Ltd.
Thank you for the informative and chilling report on the proposed Ibutho coal mining venture on the southern border of the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi national park.
The southern section is a designated wilderness zone in the park. In other words, there are no roads, lodges or human influence in this section. They are there to be entered on foot and to exit again, with no human trace – a respectful tribute to the wild landscape and to the wild species that have inhabited these pristine areas long before the evolution of modern human beings.
My first, unforgettable exposure to this beautiful area was a four day and night wilderness trail with the Wilderness Leadership School in 1981. It was a life changing experience for me. Deep down, I knew that I had come 'home'. Unable to articulate it at that time, I knew that I had entered a church with no dogma, no judgement and no demand, other than to respect the space of the wild 'other'. But there was more. The Umfolozi as it was known then, was and to this day, is the source and crucible of a wealth of traditional human- animal stories of challenge and co-existence with the wild.
Apart from the many companions who have subsequently shared with me their stories about this area, I wonder how many others are experiencing what I feel right now – a sense of both outrage and despair … that there is something very wrong about this proposal … that once again, it is all about human opportunism disguised as economic progress.
It is in this light that this area needs to be understood and protected as a national treasure … that it is not for sale. It is true, the proposed open cast mining area ends at the border of the reserve, but we need to think again. As many of the thousands who have already voiced their protest against the mining proposal have stated, the visual and auditory boundary of the reserve is in danger of serious compromise. It will be like living next door to a neighbour with incessantly barking dogs, or whose outside lighting system is designed to frighten away the night.
I am relieved to know that the environmental impact study is yet to be done in which case, the boundaries defining the ethics of economic progress and its audio-visual trespass into the neighbouring wilderness area needs to be thoroughly understood and redefined.
Finally, I have a question for the decision makers and leaders of the Department of Mineral Affairs and of Ibutho Coal (Pty) Ltd … have you ever been to this Hluhluwe-Imfolzi wilderness area? If not, come and experience it for yourself. I will come with you. You will discover why this area is not only psychologically and spiritually significant to those of us who have been there, but of its significance as a priceless gift to future generations of citizens and visitors to South Africa.


What shall we do for timber?
The last of the woods is down.
and Mass was said in that place.
and the great earls where are they?
singing the world to rest.
and the last of its game is gone.
in bounty and peace remain.
-- Translation by Frank O'Connor (1903-1966) in The Wild Bird's Nest: Poems From the Irish (publ. Cuala Press, Dubln, 1932).
Not many people today realize that much of Ireland was covered with a vast oak forest until the 1700s. The name elements "derry" or "dare" mean "oak grove" in Irish--dóire; "-kill-" means "forest"-- coill.
Holly, hazel and ash were considered holy or lucky.
During the Penal Laws era, between 1695 and 1800, the British rulers of Ireland cut down most of the trees and shipped them away, both to build ships for the British navy and to prevent native outlaws from hiding in the forests. Most of the trees were cut down within two generations, leaving the bare green sheep-grazed hills that the Irish landscape is known for today.
My original [Norman] ancestor Jean Du Val, lackey of Richard (Strongbow) de Clare, built Kilcash prior to 1200. I like the Irish poem which I learned to sing as a boy. I note with interest that your version has EXACTLY the same typographical error as most internet references. Only a native speaker (yes I am) would notice though so thanks for a nice article and piccies.
You're lucky you're a native speaker! My grandparents were Munster Gaelic speakers who immigrated to the U.S. and my father was interested only in being 100% American.
Would you mind sending me the correct version? I'd appreciate it. We probably all got it from the same book. Go raibh maith agat!


I checked out the original tweet and the contest details and decided to retweet as well, you'll never know.
I never win things but now I did. So on 7 October we'll be flying in this gigantic plane, the biggest passenger plane in the world, to Paris, making a lot of people jealous. This plane is normally not flying on the Paris-Montreal route, but it's a special flight celebrating the 60th anniversary of Air France in Canada.
Okay, Paris is not my dream destination, that was Thimphu, the capital of the kingdom of Bhutan, who's former king invented the GNH index, the Gross National Happiness Index. But I'm sure we're going to have fun.
Now we're researching a cheap hotel in Paris. If you know one, please leave a comment.
Update: No need for an hotel anymore. A friend offered to loan us her apartment in the centre of Paris for the weekend! Thanks for all the tips, in comments or by email.
Hey, congratulations! How long will you be in Paris? Time for a small side trip to the Netherlands?
It's only a 4 day trip, unfortunately. We're flying back on Monday, so no time for side trips.
They didn't divulge how they picked the winner, I hope my unconventional destination made me win. It must have, because random lotteries are prohibited in Québec.
Still, I thinks it's incredibly cool. I hope they serve you lots of free champagne on the flight. Or something else if you don't want alcohol.
So very cool to win a trip. We stayed in Paris twice, leme see if I can still find the hotel back, it was pretty neat for a cheap price. Smack down in the middle of Montmartre.
Hello, this is your blog writing to you. I'm feeling kind of lonely. You haven't forgotten me, have you? If I could make a sound I'm sure it would be a whining, whimpering sound. You do care about me, don't you? Don't you?

Madison, Wisconsin - More than 1 million people in the United States are living with HIV/AIDS. To continue community discussion, the UW Health HIV/AIDS Comprehensive Care Program will host a free community event in honor of World AIDS Day in Madison on Monday, December 1.
The event, which is open to the public, goes from 6-8:30 p.m. and will be held at The Goodman Community Center, 149 Waubesa Street. Snacks and refreshments will be provided. There will be a documentary screening and a community panel discussion.
The documentary, "Positive Youth," addresses the impact of HIV and AIDS on youth today, giving an up-close and personal look at the stigma, discrimination, dating, love, family and hope involved. The film will be followed with a panel of local HIV experts discussing the latest on prevention, detection and treatment of HIV and AIDS. Community members will also have an opportunity share their experiences.
In 2013, 255 new cases of HIV infections were diagnosed in Wisconsin. On a national level, youth age 13 to 24 accounts for an estimated 26 percent of all new HIV infections in the United States.
"We want to provide a forum for community members to come together and talk honestly about their experience. Whether you are living with HIV, know someone who is, or you want to learn more, you are welcome to attend. Last year during our panel discussion, someone asked what HIV is. We want people to feel they can ask any question and we left feeling it was a success because we were able to educate at least one person," said Rachel Luzbetak, event organizer and coordinator of medical case management of UW Health's HIV/AIDS Comprehensive Care Program.
"One in six people who are HIV positive are not aware of their status. Education and HIV testing help people get into care earlier to stay healthy and reduce new infections," said Luzbetak.
UW Health HIV/AIDS Comprehensive Care Program at UW Hospital and Clinics has been providing care for people with HIV/AIDS since 1985. It's the largest provider of HIV clinical care in south-central Wisconsin.
The first World AIDS Day was held in 1988. UW Health's program has sponsored an event the past 11 years and prior to that, the program collaborated with the AIDS Network to remember those lost to AIDS.

Ravenspur
In the second week of March, Richard Neville had received news that ships flying the Yorkist banner had been spotted off the coast of Norfolk, and on this day the 14th of March, Edward, William Hasting and Richard, Duke of Gloucester arrived at Ravenspur on the east coast of England, the very port Henry IV had landed seventy years before to claim the English throne.
Edward IV Leaves the Netherlands
As Jasper Tudor and the future Henry VII made their way west, the November parliament met, attainders against Lancastrian nobles were lifted and new ones placed on Edward and his brother Richard, but more importantly for Richard Neville, if not for the country, a treaty of peace was signed with the French. This, of course, alienated the Burgundians, but it did serve as a kick up the backside for Charles the Bold and Edward, and Louis was champing at the bit for France and England to get stuck into Burgundy. If Warwick hoped that Margaret of Anjou and her son would return home to England to play their part, he would have to wait a while. Henry VI's queen had no intention of returning, she still did not trust Warwick. Despite the fact that Charles the Bold was Edward's brother in law, it seem that he had no intention of helping him out either. However, with war with France imminent Charles soon changed his mind.
Edward, with the encouragement of Louis of Gruthuyse, and no doubt realising that this was his big chance to regain his throne, began talks with Charles the Bold. It was on this day in 1471 that Edward IV climbed on board the Antony, a ship belonging Henri de Borselle, his good friend the aforementioned Louis of Gruthuyse's father in law, and sets sail for England.

The pass-rushing defensive end was the overwhelming choice to re-sign among Seattle's free agents.
The votes are in, and Frank Clark is the overwhelming choice.
There were a huge number of votes on the blog this week, and they almost all went for Clark as the defensive end who's Seattle's best pass rusher received a whopping 81 percent of the vote. Pro Bowl linebacker K.J. Wright was a distant second at 10 percent, while run-blocking right guard D.J. Fluker received 7 percent. Just 2 percent chose the "other" option, with none of those voters specifying their choice.
I find this an interesting result, mainly because I was curious how much fan loyalty there would be toward Wright. Wright has been an extremely effective player for Seattle for eight years, including during the Seahawks' two Super Bowl runs. But he's also 30 years old and coming off an injury year, meaning there's risk in giving him a long-term contract. Based on these results, it seems there's little sentiment for hanging onto one of the last remaining members from Seattle's glory-days defense.
It also seems the limitations in Twitter polls wasn't a factor. Because Twitter only allows four options in its polls, I wasn't able to list everyone I wanted in the poll, with left guard J.R. Sweezy and nickel corner Justin Coleman being others I strongly considered. However, the lack of "other" votes suggests that not including them — or any other players — didn't affect the vote much.
As for the preference for Clark, it makes sense. Clark is in his prime at 26 years old, he's coming off a 14-sack season in which he says he was playing at just 60 percent because of elbow injuries, and he fills a role that's in high demand in the NFL.
That will be an issue for Seattle this offseason. Clark was in the final year of his rookie contract and hit the salary cap at just $1.187 million. He stands to get a raise by a factor of 10, which will have a significant impact on the Seahawks' cap situation, especially with the team seeking to negotiate a contract extension with quarterback Russell Wilson this offseason, which will also have a major effect on the cap.
The good news for Seahawks fans is that Clark will likely be back in Seattle no matter what. Even if he and the Seahawks aren't able to come to terms on a long-term deal, Seattle will no-doubt slap the franchise tag on Clark to retain his rights.
In exit interviews Seattle coach Pete Carroll said he was "counting on" Clark being back with the team in 2019. Based on these poll results, the fans are in lockstep.
