November 25, 2009 at 12:16 a.m.
LAHAINA, Hawaii — College hoops junkies across the country who are tuning into the EA Sports Maui Invitational are discovering what diehard Colorado fans have known for two years.
Cory Higgins is a great player.
The Colorado junior continued his impressive start to the season with 28 points, including two made free throws that forced overtime, during the Buffs` 91-87 loss to Arizona on Tuesday at the Lahaina Civic Center.
"Great player," Wildcats guard Nick Wise, an All-American candidate, noticed. "Before watching film on him I never really heard too much about him. He`s an All-Big 12 player and that says enough about him because it`s a great conference."
Wise scored 30 points and willed Arizona to the victory in overtime. He was 9-for-15 from the field, 5-for-9 from behind the arc and 7-for-8 at the line with six assists, four rebounds and only two turnovers in 32 minutes.
"He`s a great player and it`s fun to go against one of the best guards in the Pac-10," Higgins said. "I`d like to think I`m among those elite guards, too."
The Buffs appear to have another talented hidden gem in Alec Burks, who scored 19 points. The 6-foot-6 guard has 84 points through his first five collegiate games, the most by a CU freshman since Chauncey Billups scored 121 through his first five games in the 1995-96 season.
Austin Dufault played the type of game the CU coaching staff expects to see a lot of in his sophomore season. The 6-8 forward scored 14 points on 4-for-7 shooting and grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds in 29 minutes.
"Austin definitely played one of the best games he has at CU," associate head coach Steve McClain said after Dufault`s first career double-double. "He went hard on the glass, he was going after loose balls, he scored the ball inside, he made simple plays. Both defensively and offensively it was one of his better games."
The Buffs out-rebounded Arizona 37-34, even though starting forward Marcus Relphorde only had one rebound and one point in 17 minutes.
"We`ve been challenging them every day about rebounding and taking charges and making simple basketball plays," McClain said. "I think this team is going to continue to grow. A year ago we couldn`t have had guys in our starting lineup not play well and had a chance to win. This year we can."
Deeper bench
Nate Tomlinson scored 20 points off the bench and was 7-for-9 from the field with four assists, three rebounds and two turnovers in 33 minutes. The Buffs` reserves outscored Arizona`s bench 25-10.
"The encouraging things for me is when somebody isn`t playing well we had guys come off the bench and play well," McClain said. "We really won everything but the game. You look at the stats and we out-rebounded them. We did what we had to do but we just couldn`t win the game."
CU in Maui
There is no question Wisconsin has by far the largest contingent of fans here and somewhat of a home-court advantage. Arizona`s fans — and even the cheerleaders — also traveled well.
The Buffs also have some support, a small but vocal group of about 100 black and gold-clad fans who gather right behind the CU bench.
"I like the fact that nobody thought we`d have any fans here and we had a nice little group of fans here," McClain said. "I think it says that people are starting to fall in love with this group of kids."
It was the first meeting between CU and Arizona since 1974. The Buffs lead the all-time series 8-5. … CU outscored Arizona 38-18 in the paint and 18-5 in points off turnovers. … Levi Knutson (hip) and Trent Beckley (stomach virus) were feeling healthy but did not crack McClain`s rotation.
"We blow our team last year out of the water," Higgins said of CU`s improved talent, depth and execution.

Tommy the tortoise celebrates 116 years of rude health
She has lived through the reign of six monarchs, survived two world wars, and has witness mankind go from horse and cart to the International Space Station.
And, for almost all of her 116 years, she has suffered the embarrassment of being confused for a man.
Tommy the tortoise is certainly in the running to be crowned Britain's oldest pet – and, having never been to see a vet once in her life, is certainly Britain's healthiest.
Tommy has been passed through three generations of the Cloonan family. She currently is the beloved pet of 57-year-old Sheila Floris – the granddaughter of her first owner – in Croydon, south London.
The tortoise was bought at a market in 1909, and was believed to be about 10 years old at the time – which would place her birthday in 1898.
For years the family thought Tommy was a boy, thus the name, and they were none the wiser until their male tortoise laid eggs about 20 years ago.
'The name had stuck for so long, we couldn't change it, said Mrs Floris. 'She is the ultimate tomboy.'
She added that part of the gender mix up came from the fact that Tommy had never been taken to a vet.
She said: 'My mum never took her to a vet and Tommy was fine. When I inherited her I asked lots of people whether I should get her checked out but we decided not to tempt fate.'
Born in the reign of Queen Victoria, Tommy has outlived kings Edward VII, George V, Edward VIII, George VI – and is still going strong with Queen Elizabeth II.
She was a teenager when the Titanic sank, and has borne silent witness to the outbreak of the first and second world wars, the invention of the motor vehicle and the aircraft, the television and the internet.
Mrs Floris said: 'She has had a rich and full time, and lived through many changes along the way. She really is the best pet I could ask for.'

Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, so why not take the time to celebrate beyond the usual dressing up, going trick-or-treating and popping candy corn?
The novel is only as good as the setting, so why not visit a haunted site to set the mood? At the Fire Island Lighthouse, you could hear sounds of odd laughter, or doors slamming. And the seemingly unreachable top windows have been known to open by themselves.
Once dusk falls upon Long Island, put on your disguise and head out for some dionysian fun at the Crazy Donkey in Farmingdale. The Donkey is hosting a Halloween party with music from the Misfits, White Zombie, and King Diamond tribute bands. And if you dress as something other than the King of Pop or Balloon Boy, you could be up for the $200 prize for Best Costume. http://www.thecrazydonkey.com/ Happy Halloween!


"A single falling tree makes more noise than a whole forest growing". Long ago we adopted this saying by an ancient Chinese philosopher. We are convinced that sustainable development, conscious growth and responsible change cannot be achieved by a single noisy, striking gesture, but rather by silent and meaningful daily choices.
We believe in the forest. We are that forest.
For us at OLAB, Corporate Social Responsibility is not merely a set of rules to follow and legal requirements to comply with. It is constant commitment, with the utmost transparency, that hallmarks our activity and role in the world. It is the willingness to pursue sustainability in our daily lives at an economic, social and environmental level.
We are working to improve ourselves because we want to improve the world.
We invest in our future because we care about the future of the world.
We have chosen to involve all our stakeholders in the challenges we are facing, thereby helping to trigger a virtuous circle of development.
"Become the change you want to see," exhorted Mahatma Gandhi.
And we at OLAB bear this in mind every day.


"This tells us that meteorites aren't actually representative of the material that formed planets," said Brandon Johnson.

BOSTON, Jan. 15 (UPI) -- That meteorites and their collisions with early planetary masses played a predominant role in the formation of the early universe is a narrative popular among astronomers and the average high school science class.
But new research suggests the contributions of meteorites in forming Earth and its planetary neighbors was minimal. These ancient hunks of rock hurling haphazardly through an infant solar system were more a byproduct than building blocks, researchers at MIT say.
Previously, scientists have posited chondrules as the key ingredient in planet formation. Chondrules are the droplets of molten rock produced by high energy impacts between two sizable pieces of space rock -- asteroid hitting astroid, planet hitting planetesimal, meteorite hitting protoplanet.
Scientists at MIT and Purdue ran computer simulations to crunch the numbers on the formation of the early solar system. The models suggest that by the time space rocks big and fast enough for their collisions to create chondrules showed up on the scene, planetary embryos the size of the moon (the real building blocks) were already well-formed.
"This tells us that meteorites aren't actually representative of the material that formed planets -- they're these smaller fractions of material that are the byproduct of planet formation," study author Brandon Johnson, a postdoc in MIT's Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, explained in a recent press release. "But it also tells us the early solar system was more violent than we expected: You had these massive sprays of molten material getting ejected out from these really big impacts. It's an extreme process."
What's more, the simulations showed each meteorite impact turned only a small portion of their solid materials into chondrule. Small droplets and violently exploded rock may have been ubiquitous, but it was relatively minor in volume as compared to already forming planets.
In other words, chondrules may have been the spices that flavored young planets, but they certainly weren't the main ingredient.
"This would be a major shift in how people think about our solar system," said Fred Ciesla, a planetary scientist at the University of Chicago who wasn't involved with the study. "If this finding is correct, then it would suggest that chondrites are not good analogs for the building blocks of the Earth and other planets."
"Meteorites as a whole are still important clues about what processes occurred during the formation of the solar system, but which ones are the best analogs for what the planets were made out of would change," he added.
The new study was published this week in the journal Nature.


On 1 July 2016, a law in the Swiss canton of Ticino, which bans anyone from hiding their face in public, came into effect.
According to 20 Minutes, the first person to be punished under the new law was Nora Illi, a representative of the Islamic Central Council of Switzerland (ICCS). Last Friday, when the new law came into force, the group held a press conference in Locarno denouncing it. Following the gathering, the female representative walked out of the meeting covered from head to toe. The police did not hesitate to issue the woman a fine. The amount of the fine is unknown, but the new law allows fines from CHF 100 to CHF 1,000 (US$ 1,027).
Nora Illi was accompanied by Algerian politician and businessman Rachid Nekkaz, who has vowed to cover the cost of all such fines. Last December he said: "I am going to negate this law by paying all fines due", reported 20 Minutes. The law banning face covering was passed by the canton of Ticino in November last year.
Nora Illi told Le Temps in 2010 that she converted to islam at 19 before getting married, and started wearing the niqab out of respect for Allah. She is a member of the ICCS, who deals with women's issues. In an interview published by Blick.ch in 2014, she explained the advantages of polygamy.
Separately, last week Le Matin reported that a court in the Swiss canton of Saint Gallen had fined the father of a muslim family for breaking laws related to compulsory schooling. Over a period of several years he refused to send his girls to school swimming classes, school camps and other school events. The Bosnian national was fined CHF 1,000 plus CHF 30 per day for 100 days.
The prosecutor had demanded a fine and a prison sentence of four months. In her view, the man who has lived in Switzerland since 1990, lacks respect for Swiss law and a willingness to integrate. In addition, she requested the cantonal migration office look at whether his residence permit should be withdrawn.
The man said letting his eldest child go on a winter camp was not compatible with his faith. The authorities in St. Margrethen, where he lives, have continued to clash with him over his beliefs, he said.
The family, on social benefits, has been in conflict with commune authorities for years. In March 2015, the court convicted both parents for refusing to send their daughters to school because they were not allowed to wear veils. In this case, Switzerland's higher, federal court, ruled in favour of the parents on the basis of religious freedom and allowed their oldest child to wear a veil to school.

Q: Conform on-the-fly to PEP8 using flycheck on emacs I unpack flycheck to ~/. and put the following lines in ~/.emacs:
;; (package-initialize)
(setq load-path (cons "~/flycheck-20170415.1006" load-path))
(require 'flycheck)
(add-hook 'after-init-hook #'global-flycheck-mode)

Starting Emacs 24.5.1 I get:
File error: Cannot open load file, no such file or directory, let-alist

With Emacs 25.1.1 I get:
File error: Cannot open load file, No such file or directory, dash

(These errors do not change if I uncomment (package-initialize). Emacs 25 now inserts (package-initialize), nudging those of us with a long setup to adapt.)
My (subsequent) aim is to conform Python code on-the-fly to PEP8. Once the problem above is resolved, I'll add
(setq exec-path (append exec-path '("/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin")))

to this brief ~/.emacs (/opt/..2.7/bin is where MacPorts put flake8), but there is apparently an issue before I even specify the programming language.
Update
This is far more painful than I expected. Flycheck is heavy-handed about being installed through packages, and incorporating the steps described here to my usual ~/.emacs leads to the notorious
load-with-code-conversion: Symbol's value as variable is void: <!DOCTYPE

error. (I'm pretty sure I have no HTML files hiding under a .el extension.)
Update2
Uh.. I stand corrected! Some dash.el made its way to my usual elisp directory, and flycheck depends on it, but it was indeed an HTML file.

A: Flycheck depends on dash, let-alist, and seq.
Download the files
  84766  dash.el
 381142  flycheck.el
   6136  let-alist.el
  17589  seq-24.el
  17684  seq-25.el
   1540  seq.el

and put them in ~/.concise-elisp. You need three files for seq because it has alternative implementations for Emacs 24 & 25.
Put the following lines in your ~/.emacs:
;; Even if you are not using packages, you need the following
;; commented-out line, or else Emacs 25 will insert one for you.
;; (package-initialize)

(setq load-path (cons "~/.concise-elisp" load-path))
(require 'flycheck)
(add-hook 'after-init-hook #'global-flycheck-mode)
(setq exec-path (append exec-path '("/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin")))

The last line points to where MacPorts would have put flake8. Flake8 is one of the programs to which flycheck delegates PEP8 checking.
Next exercise: Hook flycheck just for Python (and perhaps C/C++/Java/JS/..). In particular, don't worry about making elisp files kosher. Selectively activate flycheck for languages as needed.

This vessel holds 15 different Zombies. They can all do different things, with different specific instructions you give them. remember, zombies are single minded ex-humans that need guidance. They will do anything you ask them to, they will not affect somebody else's free will. but they are amazingly helpful and easy to get along with.


Termites are silent workers that destroy your homes from the inside out. And since they are quiet, homeowners find out about the infestation, sometimes, a little too late for treatment. Sounds a bit alarming? Worry no more, as we are giving you some clues that might help you determine whether these pests have already made your home into their evening buffet.
Termites need mud tunnels to make sure their path remains moist. These tunnels prevent them from being totally exposed to the outside environment while going back and forth to get their food. If you see mud crawling inside your house, there is a high possibility that pests have already burrowed a colony nearby. These tunnels are often found on walls and your house foundations.
If you see saw dusts in particular areas of the house; chances are you have a termite infestation. When termites try to erode wood, some particles of the wood fall off from their mouth. These fine grains fall on floors or are carried into the wind. If you find sawdust in your kitchen and no carpenter has visited in the past few days, it is most likely that a termite found its way there..
When termites have destroyed the wood on your walls, your paint will follow. Paint gets swollen because there are holes in this area where air may have found its way. When these signs appear, even if they are still small, it is best to have a pest control team to look at it. Rocklin's team of termite exterminators can easily check whether the bloated paint is just a regular paint expansion brought by rising temperature or termite infestation.
When termites have made your home foundation into their buffet and have eaten almost 46 percent of the wood, your foundation will give out a hollow sound when you knock on it. This only means that your house foundation has already been compromised and the integrity of your entire house might be at stake. Imagine the toughest foundation of your home sounding hollow, that is a huge accident waiting to happen. So before such unwanted incidents occur, be sure to call us at Rocklin to have your home tested for termite invasion.
No, you are not haunted. Your walls are being eaten as dinner by the termites that live inside your house. Experts said that the clicking noise that homeowners hear can be either of the two things: soldiers bumping their heads on the wood to signal danger or soldiers eating away your wood as they are nasty eaters. So next time you hear these clicking noises, best to call us and direct us to the area where you hear the noise because it is highly possible that the lair of the termite is on that side of it. Soldiers are highly concentrated in the breeding area because it is their main job to protect the colony and who else makes the colony but the queens and kings which are in the mating area.
Do not compromise your beautiful home and give us a call. It is best to call the experts if you are not sure whether your home has been invaded by termites. Prevention is still better than cure.

Erica Lugo (EricaFitLove)'s Story & Guide Of How She Lost Over 150lbs!
Erica Lugo, perhaps better known as EricaFitLove on Instagram and her social media, lost over an incredible 150lbs in 15 months, through hard work and dedication. Her amazing weight loss story has helped inspire thousands of other people to start getting healthy and lose weight themselves.
After her weight loss success, Erica started an amazing website dedicated to helping her followers, running live bootcamps to get people into shape and became a cover model for Fit magazine. Below, Erica details how she did it, with her weight loss workout and diet, alongside answering some questions that will help shed more light on her journey.
When I first started losing weight, I was so confused with the amount of 'Diet Plans" there were, so I started with basics. I looked up how many calories I should consume for my measurements to be on a weight loss path on MyFitnessPal, and started there.
I knew less calories in, so I started with lean cuisines, smart ones, and if I cooked for the family, I would just portion out what I ate. I stuck with calories at that point. Healthier calories, but calorie counting is where I started. So there was no real "diet" structure other than my calories.
When I first started losing weight my routine was mainly cardio 5 days a week for 60 minutes. I would do light weight lifting (small dumbbells) for about 10-15 minutes after because I heard using weights could prevent loose skin.
I have always been heavier. My whole life I've been the 'chunky' one. I developed unhealthy relationships with food. I used it when I was sad, upset, happy, tired, you name it. I started binge eating in my early twenties, which is when my weight really became a problem.
My diet was a "hot mess" to be honest. I would eat donuts, left over pizza or 2-3 bowls of cereal in the morning for breakfast at home before work. On my way to work I would swing in McDonalds for a breakfast meal. Lunch was always out with coworkers, and it was always unhealthy. Dinner was junk food. Pizza, Pasta, pizza rolls, easy and quick things because I hated to cook. A lot of the time I would swing in the drive thru for a quick "snack" and then go home and eat dinner.
My son. As a parent, when you tell your child "No, I don't want to play with you" because you are too tired to even get off the sofa because of your weight. THAT's a problem.
Probably around 50 lbs. I had so much weight to lose, that I had to lose a good chunk of weight before people and myself started to take notice.
What Small Changes Do You Think Made The Biggest Impact?
Just getting to the gym. Any workout was better than no workout!
I learned to make fitness fun. I learned to make living healthy FUN! When you make overall wellness a chore, and think of it in a negative light, you will get negative results. I would purchase new workout music, buy a new workout headband and I started to make friends at the gym!
Were There Any Particular Tough Days On Your Journey?
Every day is still a tough day. I have to make a choice every morning when I wake up. It's a life style that you have to work on. Some days are better than others. I am human after all. A dozen donuts sounds great to anyone after a bad day, but what makes it different, is I ask myself "What am I REALLY hungry for." Most of the time it's not food, it's something I need to do for myself. Like a nap, venting to a friend, walking away from a situation for a few minutes. Learning to find the real reasons we turn to food.
What Advice Would You Give To Someone Looking To Lose Weight?
Have fun and DO NOT compare yourself to others. I have lost some friendships, I have lost some "steam" in my journey because I was so down on myself about how I compared in my journey. We all get to the end result, how we do it is what makes our journey so unique.
People always laugh at me because some of the things I eat or that I love to eat are boring or just plain gross! I love to make lean ground turkey, add some ketchup to it and throw some pickles on it! Sounds gross but it's like a hamburger! Also, my favorite snack is Crazy Richards PB on a low carb tortilla with chopped up almonds mixed in. Wrap it up and eat it! I will also make slushies out of my Motiv8 strawberry margarita Aminos mix. That's a good go to.
People ask me this all the time and I never know what to say, because honestly? It's just my life. This is my life now. Being fit, healthy and working toward something greater for my wellbeing is something I think everyone should experience in their life.

Email marketing is basically a way through which businesses engage in promotion of their products and service through email. In this regard, any email sent to a prospective customer can be summed up as email marketing. While there are many forms of marketing that a business can engage in such as SEO, Pay Per Click, and Social Media Marketing, today we are going to shed light on the importance of email marketing for your business. Any business that operates online cannot afford to ignore the quintessential role that email marketing plays in brand exposure and visibility. So why is it important for a business to engage in email marketing?
Success in your business is largely hinged on how well known your brand is. Email marketing accords you the opportunity to promote your business brand to those who have subscribed to your list. The more you engage with your mailing list, the more known your brand becomes and the higher the likelihood of success for your business.
Communication is key to the success of any online business. Email marketing makes it easy for an online business to communicate to its customers about new product arrivals, discounts and promotions, offers and even address pertinent issues brought up by customers. With a simple send button, a business can reach thousands of its customers from wherever they are.
By maintaining the communication channel open, a business tends to increase its visibility online. With email marketing, you constantly make your customer aware that your business is vibrant and offering amazing products and services that might be of help to them.
New visitors to your site who love your product and service might join your emailing list as a way of never missing out on new offers, discounts or promotions. With an emailing list, you can acquire new customers and take your business to greater heights.
With email marketing, you can easily track how the emails to your customers are performing. As a business, you get to know the number of click through rates, bounce rates, open rates, delivery rates and even unsubscriptions. This enables you to come up with a better strategy on how to move forward and improve services to your customers.
In light of the above, it would be foolhardy for any online business entity to ignore the potential of email marketing to its well being. Business is all about creating connections and reaching out to your customers and email marketing is an effective way to achieve that. You simply need to choose a good email provider today and start creating long standing connections through email marketing. After all, the success of your business is hinged on how well you can reach out to your customers and offer them the kind of services and products they require.

The first couple drives were misleading. This is taking on the aura of a classic rivalry. A lot of hard-hitting. Tough football game. We knew that about Michigan State. Michigan,. obviously, has improved in that area.
- Michigan State is doing a very good job of containing Denard Robinson's running and forcing him to beat the Spartans with his arm. A big test for Robinson is whether he can. He has missed a couple throws he should have made, particularly a third-down pass on Michigan's last drive of the half.
- Both teams have had field position issues. The punters are doing a good job.
- Not much was settled in the first half. Key will be adjustments by coaches at halftime. For Michigan, it will be getting Robinson into space on runs. For MSU, it will be trying to get the running attack going. Was good on the first drive, but Michigan adjusted well after that.

Fact check: Trump is wrong on Mexico's migrant apprehensions
Mexico apprehended 110,000 migrants from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador in fiscal year 2018, figures show.
Fact check: Trump is wrong on Mexico's migrant apprehensions Mexico apprehended 110,000 migrants from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador in fiscal year 2018, figures show. Check out this story on commercialappeal.com: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/04/04/mexicos-migrant-apprehensions-trump-wrong-numbers/3367973002/
Lori Robertson, FactCheck.org Published 3:05 p.m. CT April 4, 2019
In fiscal year 2018, Mexico apprehended 110,000 migrants from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, and over the previous four fiscal years the total was more than 500,000. Yet, President Donald Trump said that for the "first time" in "decades" Mexico "has been starting to apprehend a lot of people at their southern border coming in" from those countries.
The Mexico apprehension figures were compiled by the Migration Policy Institute from Mexican government reports. This chart, published by MPI in March, compares apprehensions by the U.S. and Mexico of migrants from the three so-called Northern Triangle countries.

Ariel G. Ruiz Soto, an associate policy analyst at the Migration Policy Institute, told us MPI looked at apprehension and deportation statistics to see if there had been a noticeable change in Mexico under President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who took office on Dec. 1.
So far, according to statistics through February, there has been a slight decrease in those figures compared with the same time periods in the last two years of the previous administration, but, Ruiz Soto said, "the trends looked similar overall." Apprehensions at Mexico's southern border would be included in the Mexican government's overall figures.
Trump, however, claimed in remarks before a meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg that this week marked "the first time, really, in decades" that Mexico "has been starting to apprehend a lot of people at their southern border."
The president made his remarks when asked about his calls to close the U.S.-Mexico border.
Trump, April 2:And I'm ready to close it, if I have to close it. Mexico, as you know, as of yesterday, has been starting to apprehend a lot of people at their southern border coming in from Honduras and Guatemala and El Salvador. And they've — they're really apprehending thousands of people. And it's the first time, really, in decades that this has taken place. And it should have taken place a long time ago. …
But Mexico is now stopping people coming — very easy for them to do — stopping people coming in through Mexico. Let's see if they keep it done, if — if they keep doing that.
"Mexico has consistently been apprehending and deporting people in large numbers since the implementation of the Southern Border Program in 2014," Rachel Schmidtke, program associate for migration at the Mexico Institute of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, told us.
Then-Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto implemented the Southern Border Program on July 7, 2014, with the goals of improving border security and migration flows, such as through temporary visitor and worker permits, and protecting migrants, including by providing medical care.
A 2017 analysis of the program by Luis Alfredo Arriola Vega, a visiting scholar at the Baker Institute for Public Policy's Mexico Center at Rice University, found there were many criticisms of the program, particularly regarding its goal of protecting migrants. Deportations "considerably increased," the report noted, but the containment efforts "made routes more dangerous for people heading north."
"Diverse sources … agree in pointing out that PFS [Programa Frontera Sur, or Southern Border Program] effectively hardened Mexican migration policy because of the consequences associated with increased control at or near the southern border," Arriola Vega wrote.
We asked the White House press office for an explanation of Trump's remarks, but we didn't get a response. Ruiz Soto told us Trump might be referring to two arrest operations in Mexico on April 1. The Mexican newspaper El Universo reported that Mexican immigration authorities detained 338 migrants traveling in buses and 150 people on foot in the Mexican state of Chiapas, which borders Guatemala. Most of those detained were from Central American countries.
But, again, Trump's claim "that this is the first time in decades that Mexico is apprehending people in these numbers is false," Schmidtke told us.
"What has changed recently," she said, "is that the number of Central American migrants entering Mexico through its southern border has increased, and in January and February of 2019 the National Migration Institute of Mexico began offering members of caravans a 'fast-track' humanitarian visa which allowed migrants to enter and travel freely in Mexico and afforded them certain protections."
But the Mexican government stopped issuing those humanitarian visas in February. On March 28, the Associated Press reported that Mexico's interior secretary said the country would launch a "containment" plan for migrants at the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, the narrowest part of southern Mexico.
Associated Press, March 28: Interior Secretary Olga Sanchez Cordero said the situation is complicated by a caravan of roughly 2,500 migrants heading north and fears of a much larger "mother caravan" possibly forming in Honduras.
"We are going to locate our migration installations, of Federal Police and civil protection, harmoniously and with collaboration among all the federal government agencies in such a way that we have containment in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec," she said in comments a day after meeting with U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen. "It's going to be a big change."
Schmidtke told us: "It's unclear what they mean yet by 'containment,' but it's clear Mexico is beginning to succumb to some pressure for the United States to increase their enforcement strategies."

fanatix | Exclude from Google News | ATP defends its drugs policy in wake of Marin Cilic and Viktor Troicki scandal
ATP defends its drugs policy in wake of Marin Cilic and Viktor Troicki scandal
Scott Hazlewood
Tennis the latest sport to be in the shadow of performance enhancing drugs news.
ATP players defended their sport and the tour's updating of anti-doping information on Wednesday in the wake of drugs cases involving 15th-ranked Croatia's Marin Cilic and Serbian Viktor Troicki.
"Tennis does a good job of testing from my experience," said 20th-ranked John Isner, the American number one. "Tennis as a whole, I do feel, our sport is clean."
The topic has drawn attention after Troicki was banned for 18 months after allegedly refusing to submit a blood sample to a tester and Cilic reportedly tested positive at an April event in Munich.
Troicki, ranked 53rd, said he was assured he could skip the blood test without punishment.
Uncertainty about how well informed players are regarding banned substances and the testing requirements then became the issue.
"Our doping system is extremely tough," said American Mardy Fish.
"We do get updates. We get a lot of information. There are things constantly coming through e-mails about player regulations, regulated substances."
Asked if he thought players were not well informed about doping regulations, Fish said, "That wouldn't be my experience, no. I like to take that pretty seriously."
Isner said the topic has not resonated with players, saying, "As far as talk in the locker room, there hasn't been any at all.
"These situations are unfortunate. I don't know what to think of it. I will side on their (players') side. We'll see how it plays out."
Isner said he was once random tested twice in the same morning.
"To hear the ATP or WADA doesn't educate enough, I don't think that's the case," Isner said. "I think the ATP does a good job informing us what we can and can't take."
Fish admitted that not all the players know exactly why they cannot take a certain medication to combat an illness, but they are aware of the risks for ingesting something questionable.
"There are a lot of things that we can't take that we don't understand but might mask something," Fish said. "My trainer and I take it very seriously. I ask him about everything that goes in."
Isner said he hoped the ATP would consider adopting the biological passport, a system where a players' basic body chemistry is recorded and deviations from the norm spark doping concerns.
"I would hope they adopt the biological passport," he said. "I'm a big fan."
Australian Bernard Tomic found the latest doping situations odd.
"It's very strange how it can happen," Tomic said. "As a player myself, it's very weird and strange to see these things happen. It's strange, but it's their issue."

Endodontics is a dental treatment that involves the extraction of the pulp (nerve) of the affected piece under local anesthesia.
It is, therefore, a painless treatment, useful when caries affects the nerve, which occurs if you do not act on it in time.
With this treatment, in our practice we managed to keep the tooth longer in the mouth, instead of the classic extraction resource.

Autofocus in DSLRs during video recording has come a long way in the last few years. We all know that DSLRs have not caught up to your standard camcorders but that's all about to change.
There are a few different cameras on the market from different manufactures that have taken that leap to giving you almost camcorder like autofocus. Thanks to BorrowLenses and AllensCamera I was able to get my hands on a Canon 70d to do a full review. The full review is still on its way but I wanted to share some findings from my first video shoot with it.
As you guys know I like to push cameras to their limits when it comes to testing them. Anyone can test a camera in great light and call it fantastic but I like to shoot in poor light and see how the camera really does. So my test was to determine how well the Canon 70d would autofocus in a concert situation.
My friends in the band Silvertide had a show and I made the decision to test the 70d's capabilities. During soundcheck I was messing with the new touch autofocus where you touch the lcd and it focus right there. I noticed a bunch of guitar picks on top of an amp and thought this would showcase how well this cameras autofocus system works.
I set up on my video mono-pod, strapped the GoPro to my forehead so you could watch me touch the screen and hit record. I was amazed as soon as I touched the pick on the far left followed by the one on the far right. Not only was the focus accurate to where I wanted it to be, it transitioned smoothly and quickly. I was not expecting what I saw but I sure was happy with it.
In the future it may be interesting to see if you can set the speed at which the autofocus shifts. If it is possible to slow it down slightly I think it would give a more cinematic feel. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong the focus being to fast for video.
We have heard a lot about the STM lenses and how well they handle focusing during video. I was using the Canon 70-200 F2.8 IS II which is a USM lens but not STM. To be honest you can not hear the focus motors at all since they are ultrasonic. This was my first time using this combination and I must say it worked out very well.
I will get to my full thoughts about the Canon 70d when I get to my full review but what I can say is the features it offers for video are truly fantastic. To have the ability to touch the screen where you want it to focus and while recording touch the screen somewhere else and the focus shifts, amazing.
I am continually amazing at the advancements in these cameras, I love how the touch screens work as they just make sense. My goal for this video was to give you the first person shooter angle thus why I used the GoPro head-strap. I wanted you to see the focus shift while at the same time seeing where I touched the back of the screen.
Now I do understand that this may have limited use for full time videographers but lets take a look at some ideas. What if cameras start to include not just wifi but bluetooth that connects to your ipad or cell phone that allows you to instantly touch and change focus. I know we have this ability with a few different accessories today. But I have yet to find one that allows you to instantly without and delay or lag change the autofocus.
Keep an eye out for my full on review of the Canon 70d along with a users guide in the not to distant future.

It has only been a few weeks since Atmosphere and I am missing you guys already! After reviewing all of the presentations, I wanted to share some of my favorites.
First off the Technical Keynote Demos!
Through a series of live demos, Partha Narasimhan, Aruba's CTO, and the product management team showcased new innovations in software, as-a-Service models, and advances in machine learning and analytics. An industry first as a live demo - Peter Lane upgraded the Atmosphere wireless network during the keynote. The 2,000+ mobile devices connected to the network experienced the same level of service with no loss in connectivity and performance.
Designing a wireless network is like creating a painting. Using the different APs and antennas as your brushes we'll discuss how to properly cover your canvas with RF, instead of just painting it green.
Why do some Wi-Fi networks perform well while others collapse under high capacity? Join Jussi Kiviniemi from Ekahau as he explains the difference between bad Wi-Fi and awesome Wi-Fi. He covers network planning (predictive surveys), WLAN site surveys as well as Wi-Fi optimization.
Moving to a mobile-first environment is definitely the right move, but there a several wrong moves you should avoid along the way. This session will address the rules of thumb for an all-wireless implementation including how to avoid the potholes along the way. Don't make wrong assumptions, rather rely on best practices and lessons learned from those of us that have deployed all-wireless in locations of all sizes. Hear about ways to approach implementing all-wireless infrastructures based on understanding site functions, how users work at each site and delivering a solution based on needs.
Where do you fit in the Wireless LAN community?

High-Def Digest Essentials: November 2016
Posted Wed Nov 30, 2016 at 08:25 AM PST by Steven Cohen
Every month, dozens of Blu-rays hit shelves, littering stores with High-Def temptation. New releases, catalog titles, complete TV seasons, and elaborate box-sets all vie for attention, and with so many worthy releases targeting our wallets, choosing which discs to spend our hard earned cash on can be rather tricky. To make things a little easier, we here at High-Def Digest thought it might be helpful to bring you our top three must own recommendations for the month.
From important classics to contemporary blockbusters, these are the discs that we consider to be the absolute cream of the crop. High quality releases with great video, audio, and supplements, these are the Blu-rays that are truly worth every penny.
Last month we spotlighted a chilling sci-fi/horror classic, a blood-soaked prom date, and a rivetting murder mystery. Be sure to check out the Essential Picks for November 2012, December 2012, January 2013,February 2013, March 2013, April 2013, May 2013, June 2013, July 2013, August 2013, September 2013, October 2013, November 2013, December 2013, January 2014, February 2014, March 2014, April 2014, May 2014, June 2014, July 2014, August 2014, September 2014, October 2014, November 2014,December 2014, January 2015, February 2015, March 2015, April 2015, May 2015, June 2015, July 2015, August 2015, September 2015, October 2015, November 2015, December 2015, January 2016, February 2016, March 2016, April 2016, May 2016, June 2016, July 2016, August 2016, September 2016, and October 2016.
For November, we're covering a stop-motion fairy tale, a slippery lawyer, and the approaching winds of winter. Please be aware, that if you haven't already seen them, there are some SPOILERS for the discs listed.
If you only buy three titles that hit Blu-ray in November, here's what we suggest you pick up, starting with the most essential...
'Kubo and the Two Strings' - Strictly speaking, all movies are shot one frame at a time, but stop-motion animation takes this reality to another level. Marked by a painstaking attention to detail and a staggering dedication to craft, when done right, the art form is capable of breathing life into some truly beautiful films. And 'Kubo and the Two Strings' just might be one of the genre's most beautiful creations yet. An emotional, stirring, entertaining, and absolutely gorgeous celebration of storytelling, love, and human connection, the movie weaves a unique fairy tale adventure filled with talking monkeys, warrior beetles, skeleton monsters, and magical instruments.
Using a classic fantasy adventure structure as its backbone, the film takes audiences of all ages on a mesmerizing journey as young Kubo (Art Parkinson) sets out to find magical armor in order to protect himself from his evil grandfather and aunts. Along the way we meet a couple of fun characters who aid our hero on his quest, encounter several obstacles, learn a few lessons, and eventually face the enemy in a harrowing battle. But while these simple beats are all pretty standard, the execution is nearly flawless and absolutely brimming with personality. Rooted in its own unique folklore, the movie easily establishes its magical world, and the mixture of stop-motion and CG animation creates a breathtakingly singular style with striking character designs, affecting expressions, and exciting action. And beneath all these sumptuous visuals are several powerful themes about family, memories, and love, adding depth and surprisingly complex emotion to the narrative.
Of course, like all stories, 'Kubo' does ultimately come to an end, but as the film so sweetly reveals, ends don't have to be tragic, as all tales live on through those left to tell them. And I have a feeling this one will continue to be told for many years to come -- especially since this Blu-ray makes sharing it a breeze. A must own family film and a great disc through and through, this title belongs on every family's shelf. But as Kubo says throughout the film, "If you must blink, do it now," because you won't want to miss a single frame.

'Better Call Saul: The Complete Second Season' - With its first season, 'Better Call Saul' had a lot to accomplish. As a spinoff of the late, great 'Breaking Bad,' the show had to not only demonstrate that it could turn an amusing in small-bursts supporting player like Saul Goodman into a full fledged protagonist, but it also had to somehow pull its way out of the giant shadow cast by its critically acclaimed predecessor (and his hat). But even with the odds stacked against them, good old "Slipping Jimmy" and company pulled it off without a hitch, offering a compelling tragicomic crime tale marked by an increasingly gripping character study. And with the series' second season, the show continues to expand upon its own unique style and voice through a truly masterful display of small-screen storytelling, proving that the first season's success was far more than just some simple con.
As Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk) is thrust into a legitimate (and handsomely paid) position with a prestigious firm, we finally get to see what it's like when he plays by the rules... at least, for a little while. Adhering to that age old adage about a tiger and its stripes, it's not long before our lovable hero is back to his old tricks, practicing a decidedly more "colorful" brand of law. But despite his occasional transgressions, it's impossible not to root for the guy. He knows who he is and acts accordingly and, more importantly, almost always for the right reasons -- even if his methods are a bit unconventional. We cringe as we inevitably watch him make the same mistakes, but still can't help but be impressed by how he almost pulls it all off. Ironically, his heaviest character flaws end up being fueled by many of the same attributes that define his greatest strengths -- creativity, compassion, and a surprisingly steadfast work ethic. And just as season two helps to flesh out Jimmy, these episodes also do a great job of further developing the supporting cast, adding new tantalizing shades of depth to Chuck and Mike. But as impressive as the entire cast is, it's really Rhea Seehorn who steals the show. As Jimmy's potential business partner and love interest, Kim, the actress crafts a strikingly nuanced, delicately complex, and effortlessly believable performance that slowly reveals more layers throughout the season.
Cementing itself as one of best written shows on TV, 'Better Call Saul' has fully carved an identity of its own, using elements of its parent series to establish its world while still expanding upon specific connections in order to fill in some intriguing gaps left from 'Breaking Bad.' And more than just expertly plotted, the season is also full of meaningful style, including a fantastic extended shot sequence and two masterful, character illuminating montages. Jimmy still might not be "Saul Goodman" just yet, but the path that leads him there is only growing increasingly absorbing (and slippery) with every episode.
'Game of Thrones: The Complete Sixth Season' - Throughout the years, 'Game of Thrones' has made quite a habit of killing off numerous important characters -- and usually in rather shocking, gruesome, and sudden ways, often leaving audiences wondering how the show will continue. But with its sixth season, the series introduces one of its riskiest plot developments yet. And ironically, it doesn't come in the form of another untimely death. It actually comes from a resurrection. In a notable break from Westerosi convention, the writers actually bring a recently axed character back to life, and though certain elements of his return are anticlimactic, it turns out that rebirth can be just as compelling as dismemberment.
While the details behind Jon's return prove to be predictable, and it remains to be seen whether he suffers from any lasting consequences as a result of his demise, his resulting arc leads to one of the series' most epic and absolutely breathtaking showdowns while also paving the way for even more exciting developments in the future. Thanks to Bran's new penchant for time travel, one of the show's (and books') longest running theories is finally confirmed: L + R does indeed appear to equal J, as we bear witness to the birth of Jon Snow from his mother, Lyanna Stark. The ramifications of this reveal will likely go on to fuel much of the show's endgame, as Jon's true heritage could prove both useful and troublesome for a certain Mother of Dragons. And speaking of Dany, the season's closing moments present fans with an image many were starting to think they may never see, offering an appropriately grandiose tease of Daenerys' army finally crossing the Narrow Sea. There are some lulls along the way, but as we watch King's Landing burst into flame, Cercei take the Iron Throne, and three dragons soaring over the ocean, any occasional hiccups become easily forgivable. And at the very least, we get to spend mercifully little time in Dorne.
With just two shortened seasons and a total of about thirteen episodes left, 'Game of Thrones' really has reached the beginning of the end -- and as the first chapter in the series' third act, season six offers another stellar batch of episodes. Likewise, this Blu-ray collections continues to maintain the high standards set by previous releases, providing a fantastic video transfer, an amazing Dolby Atmos soundtrack, and lots of great supplements. Though really, "Battle of the Bastards" almost makes this set a must buy on its own -- even if I do still wish Rickon would have just zigzagged!
So, there you have it. While there were many titles worth picking up this November, those are our top three must own recommendations. We'll be back next month with three more essential picks, but for now, what do you think of our selection? What are your choices for November's must own titles?

GitHub's Latest State Of The Octoverse
Written by Janet Swift
GitHub is a phenomenal success as its latest annual report, The State of the Octoverse 2017, reveals. In 2017 the GitHub community reached 24 million developers affiliated to 1.5 million organisations working across 67 million repositories, 25 million of them public repositories and located in 200 countries of the world.
During the year since the previous report there were a total of a billion public commits over 25.3 active repos. There were 12.5 million active issues and 1.3 million new pull requests. 2017 saw the one hundred millionth pull request, for a documentation update and 68,800,000 issues were closed.
With this much activity GitHub is a rich source of data and perhaps the most obvious question to ask is which languages are used there:
GitHub is home to open source projects written in 337 unique programming languages—but especially JavaScript.
JavaScript is the language for 2.3 million of the pull requests on GitHub, which is more than double that of the second most popular language, Python.
Commenting on the top languages, the report states:
Python replaced Java as the second-most popular language on GitHub, with 40 percent more pull requests opened this year than last. Typescript was also on the rise in 2017, used in almost four times as many pull requests as last year.
A new GitHub feature for 2017 was Topics - repository tags that let users explore projects by technology, industry, and more. Not surprisingly "game" was a popular tag, exceeded only by "machine learning":
Like last year, GitHub provides information about repositories with the most forks and this year ranking serves to reinforce the importance of Machine Learning as Tensorflow and Tensor Models come in 1st and 5th position:
This time around MOOC-related repos, which occupied several slots in last year's league table of most forked repositories, haven't been included, but there's a note that the number of forks accumulated by an R programming assignment on Coursera suggest that more than 100,000 students have started it. The exclusion of MOOCs has allowed Bootstrap, which was in 4th place last year to rise to 2nd.
When it comes to projects with the most contributors, the majority of them were in the corresponding list for last year, but for 2017 Microsoft VSCode, which was in 6th place, has risen to 1st place, whereas Fort Awsome, in 1st place in 2016, has slumped to 6th
It is clear from comparing 2016's figures with 2017's that more contributors are getting involved. The report includes some information about the year's new contributors revealing that almost half are students, 28% are professionals and 22% are hobbyists. In terms of experience only 10% are very experienced while 45% are totally new to programming:
Developers are of course at the heart of GitHub. As we reported at the time, in April 2017 GitHub extended its Developer Program to include developers with a free account on GitHub as well as those with paid accounts. This has led to a dramatic increase in membership:
All in all, with an expanding community, the GitHub Octoverse appears to continue to be a thriving ecosystem for projects both great and small.

Plain and Simple: Hate over
By Ed Fernandez on March 1, 2019
Open your FB and you find a glut of fake news or news invented to suit a favored candidate. You also see hate crowding the fb pages. It is as if hate is the norm of the day.
I saw this short film by USEP students about a special child Bogo, the older brother of two kids. Since Bogo is a special child, his younger brother was the one working to provide for both of them as their parents died early.
The younger brother made it his focus to care for his older brother Bogo who was challenged even in doing simple household chores. He was awkward and cannot be useful in helping basic activities like washing dishes or cooking as he inevitably breaks plates and glasses, spills water and oil. His actions and lack of motor skills coordination would be enough to lose a person's patience.
Despite this, Bogo kept a diary. In his diary, he tells and pours all his secrets, hopes and dreams. He records his dialog in his CP which was given to him by his brother. In his diary, he is able to write his shortcomings, how he feels when he is stressed or scolded by his brother, or when he feels depressed.
It is in Bogo's diary where he tells and pours his secrets and his hopes and dreams. He recorded his dialogue in his CP given by his brother. He goes to his diary and tells him his sins and shortcomings.
Whennhe is stress or feels scolded by his brother. Or when he feels a little depressed.
Bogo loves his young brother. When his brother sleeps on a sofa or a chair out of sheer exhaustion, Bogo makes sure his brother is comfortable.
And then one day, his brother found someone who made him smile, who created magic in him, so on the eve of the girl's birthday, he bought her a cake. He put it inside the refrigerator so he could bring the cake to the girl in the morning.
The boy woke up late the following day as he was so tired the night before. At about 9am, he was looking forward to visit the girl but when he went to the kitchen, he saw Bogo enjoying the chocolate cake, laughing and thanking his brother for his gift.
The brother could not contain his anger. He was so fuming mad that he cursed Bogo, saying that he has sacrificed so much for him and that he could no longer continue that kind of life. He wished Bogo dead! The years of caring for Bogo, for patiently serving him unconditionally, finally came to a head. The cake was the proverbial last straw on the camel's back.
Bogo ran outside their house while his brother was still fuming with anger. A few minutes later there was a commotion and neighbors came to their house and told him Bogo was hit by a vehicle. He rushed to the scene and saw the body of his brother bathed in blood.
Early on, before his brother woke up to find Bogo eating the cake, Bogo wrote on his diary how thankful he was to his brother for remembering his birthday. All the while he thought that the cake was for him.
For that single instant that he lost his cool, the brother had to live all his life with guilt for driving his brother away. This is really something to ponder on.

B.A.S.S. Brawl: David Walker vs. Randy Howell
Tennessee River, Knoxville, TN
Howell wins the first B.A.S.S. Brawl
Steve Wright
The final score was 23-0 for Randy Howell/Alabama over David Walker/Tennessee. A few corrections are in order, Howell did catch 2 smallmouths and 1 largemouth today, not a small pike, as I reported earlier. And Walker's fish was a small pumpkinseed, not a gizzard shad. Those reporting mistakes were hazards of staying out of the TV camera range.
Howell's 0.39-pound largemouth took both big bass and first bass honors, worth a total of 14 points. The other 9 points were accumulated with the 3 fish catches.
Both anglers had an interesting take on the day, and how they could have built on these two hours to produce some bigger fish catches later in the day. The little ones did provide some clues. And both guys had interesting takes on tactics, when sharing the front deck of a bass boat, something neither had done since the early days of Bassmaster Opens.
As Howell said, "It was fun fishing with a guy like David who didn't want to trash talk all morning."
I'll have all the details in a story later today.

Senior Citizens Camp Out in Daytona Beach for COVID Vaccine
Daytona Beach officials planned to close the gates once 1,000 people entered, matching the number of vaccines available for Tuesday
By Terry Spencer and Freida Frisaro • Published January 5, 2021 • Updated on January 5, 2021 at 7:50 pm
WESH-TV
The push to vaccinate people over age 65 in Florida is drawing thousands of eager seniors in uneven rollouts across various counties, with some so set on getting a shot that they slept in their cars overnight.
In Daytona Beach, hundreds of senior citizens determined to get vaccinated against COVID-19 camped out in their vehicles in frigid temperatures to secure coveted spots in a vaccination line Tuesday morning, a day after seniors jammed the roads to the vaccination site.
Officials tried to avoid a repeat of Monday's traffic jams by opening a stadium's parking lot to overnight camping for those 65 and older. By 7:30 p.m. on Monday, senior citizens in 200 vehicles were on the property, set to brave overnight temperatures in the low 40s.
"We have blankets and we have pillows, so we're OK," Mary Wilde told WESH.
A couple of hours north, in Clay County, a small, north Florida region, people booked appointments online and walked in for their scheduled vaccination.
"Very quick, very easy. It didn't hurt," said 70-year-old Teresa Knight. She and her 74-year-old husband got the vaccine Tuesday morning after making an appointment online. "It gives me hope that we're maybe coming out at the other end. I know it's going to be difficult over the next few months but I feel hopeful."
Some counties were using Eventbrite, an event management and ticketing website, to schedule vaccination appointments.
Key Biscayne 2 hours ago
Education 7 hours ago
Broward County Mayor Steve Geller said during a news conference Tuesday that he's being bombarded with emails and calls from senior citizens who are upset over how the vaccine distribution is going.
"Many seniors are panicking because they think they were promised the vaccine immediately," Geller said, adding some may have gotten that impression after Gov. Ron DeSantis issued an executive order giving priority to those over age 65. "They were not, but now they feel that faith has been broken."
Geller added that the state simply does not have enough doses currently for all of Florida's 4.5 million seniors, including the 340,000 who live in Broward County.
"Not everyone will be vaccinated tomorrow or next week or next month," he said.
In Miami, all vaccination signups and appointments offered on a website launched Tuesday were taken within minutes, The Miami Herald reported.
Tania Leets, a spokeswoman for Miami-based Jackson Health System, said 5,330 healthcare workers have been vaccinated, including staff, contractors and University of Miami doctors and residents. Out of more than 12,000 employees, 875 chose to not receive the vaccine immediately.
By Tuesday at 5 p.m., more than 289,000 Floridians had been vaccinated, most of them health care workers and first responders — about 1.3% of the state's population.
At John Knox Village, a retirement community outside Fort Lauderdale, 50 of the approximately 250 employees of its skilled nursing facility are to be vaccinated Wednesday as part of a state program, three weeks after 80 other employees received their first shot, said Mark Rayner, the village's director of health services.
Rayner said staff members who originally refused the shot because they feared unknown side effects are slowly coming around as they see their colleagues suffer no ill consequences and they learn more about how the vaccine was developed. He said he would like to get to 100%, particularly among nursing assistants who have the closest daily contact with the community's 100 residents, but the vaccine is not mandatory. All wear extensive protective gear when in contact with residents, even those employees who are vaccinated.
"The No. 1 concern was how quickly the vaccine became available," Rayner said. Developing a new vaccine usually takes years, but for this new coronavirus, one was completed in nine months. He said the employees didn't understand that the government has been doing research on this type of vaccine for years and devoted billions of dollars into expediting the process after the pandemic began.
The state has received more than 960,000 doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, 700,000 doses of which are sitting in freezers waiting to be injected into the arms of Floridians. Both vaccines require two doses — an initial inoculation and a booster shot weeks later.
About 83% of those who have died from the disease in Florida have been older than 65. Florida has one of the nation's oldest populations.
During news conferences Monday, DeSantis warned hospitals against stockpiling vaccines and urged them to work more quickly to vaccinate elderly Floridians.
On Tuesday, DeSantis said the supermarket chain Publix will start giving vaccinations to people 65 and over later this week in three central Florida counties.
As of Tuesday morning, there were 7,363 COVID-19 hospitalizations in Florida. According to state health department statistics, nearly 1.4 million people have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and more than 22,000 people have died since the pandemic began.
Associated Press journalists Tamara Lush in St. Petersburg, Florida, and Brendan Farrington in Tallahassee, Florida, contributed to this report.

Create a show that transforms the way audiences perceive the BoilerRoom platform and what it represents.
Despite strong top-line growth, perception as a niche music publisher limits long term brand relevance and scalability.
Immigration is one of the most talked about societal topics in Europe today, yet traditionally an area Boiler Room would have stayed clear of. However, following the Windrush scandal in the UK, a clear role for Boiler Room to participate in the conversation emerged. So we set out to change the narrative around immigration by celebrating the incredible impact migrants have had on UK music culture.
A four-part documentary series celebrating migration and its impact on the UK's music and culture through the four themes of 'Arrival', 'Racism', 'Identity', and 'Legacy'. Combining broad societal stories with personal family anecdotal histories, the series explores how music helped Windrush immigrants overcome ignorance and shape their identities.
Migrant Sound has generated over 1.7 million views and 4.7 million impressions. The series was also invited to screen at Amsterdam Dance Event, and was highly commended by the 2018 Drum Content Awards.
