In October 2001, when Congress passed the Patriot Act – and again when it reauthorized it in 2006 – the Bush administration assured nervous but compliant members of Congress that these expanded domestic surveillance tools were needed to protect the homeland.
Bush partisans scoffed at critics who worried these new spy powers might be used for nefarious political purposes. After all, that hasn’t happened since the ’70s – during the last ill-fated war (Vietnam) waged by a criminally inclined Republican president (Nixon) – and the ’80s – during the last illegal war (Central America) waged by a morally challenged Republican president (Reagan).
So forgive us if we raise an eyebrow after learning that among the 1 million-plus Suspicious Activity Reports that banks secretly forwarded last year to the Justice Department (as required by the Patriot Act), those allegedly connected to former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D) were the ones that rose to the top.
Even more suspiciously, the New York Times reported in March that Justice Department officials, who asked to remain anonymous, admitted, “For years … the department has rarely, if ever, prosecuted or even identified the clients of a prostitution ring.” And yet after the department discovered that Spitzer had hired a prostitute, an unknown number of FBI agents were tasked to keep the governor under surveillance.
The examination of Spitzer’s bank records, which led to the discovery that he had hired a prostitute, began last summer when the department was run by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales – who resigned in September under allegations that he had committed perjury and politicized the U.S. Attorney’s offices.
Finally, why did the Justice Department go after Spitzer when it had previously worked to protect whoring politicians? Recall the story of Pamela Martin Associates, a prostitution ring that Deborah Jeane Palfrey operated (office, home or hotel visits) in Washington, D.C., from 1993 to 2005.
Palfrey’s attorney described the thousands of men who bought the firm’s services as “high-quality clientele” whose assignations “were always in upscale hotels or in upscale parts of D.C., Maryland and Virginia.” The 10 years of phone records weighed 46 pounds.
In March 2007, the Gonzales Justice Department sought a judicial gag order to prevent Palfrey from revealing the name of her clients. In July, a federal judge denied the request, and Palfrey released some, but not all, of her records. Among the johns was Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), who unlike Spitzer, is still in office. It is not known what other members of Congress or administration officials were Palfrey clients.
Scott Horton, who covers Justice Department shenanigans for Harper’s, points out that the department’s Public Integrity Section was in charge of the Spitzer investigation. During the Bush administration, Public Integrity has opened 5.6 cases against Democrats for every one case against a Republican. On the magazine’s website, Horton also suggests, “The Justice Department needs to submit to some questions about how this probe got launched, who launched it and to what extent political appointees were involved in its direction.”
Circumstantial evidence indicates that a corrupt Justice Department has used powers granted under the Patriot Act to investigate and then target Spitzer, who was, until his fall from grace, one of the nation’s most powerful and popular Democratic governors.
A congressional inquiry is warranted.

Setting up someone for tenancy success is a vital part of any homeless support service but funding for household items is hard to come by. This is where StreetSmart’s ‘Making-a-Home’ initiative steps in. Read More
There is often a misconception that homelessness only affects people sleeping rough on the streets. Where in reality this only represents a small number of people living without a safe place to sleep. A significant number of the community partners we support provide services for victims of domestic violence. Women and children fleeing dangerous circumstances may have to leave without any belongings and need immediate care. And the current pandemic is placing even more strain on already stretched services.
“Unfortunately, family violence is more prevalent during and after times of disaster such as bushfires and COVID-19. As a result, we are expecting to see an increase in the number of women and children seeking our service and needing safe accommodation,” said Emma, Family Violence Support Worker, Women’s Liberation Halfway House.

UPDATED 28.04.2020 – 2650 meals for vulnerable people provided
Right now charity meals programs are shut across the country. With gatherings restricted and older volunteers protecting their health, food security for vulnerable Australians is an emerging challenge. At the same time restaurants and cafes are closing. This is making workers with limited resources, vulnerable to poverty, hunger and homelessness.
“I truly believe this grant will be lifesaving…”
Peter Valpiani, The Haymarket Foundation
It seems an entire lifetime ago but back in December and before the January bushfire crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, just over 100 restaurants around Australia teamed up with their customers to raise funds for local homeless services. This was our 17th DineSmart campaign and our dedicated band of restaurateurs and their staff drove the event – chatting with customers and advocating for a world without homelessness. Little did they know what lay ahead for them and their businesses, and just how important these funds would be for frontline services dealing with a crisis the likes we haven’t seen in a generation.
Last week 33 community grants worth $191,150, funded by DineSmart 2019 donations, were distributed in VIC, NSW, QLD and SA. Read More
Team at Kwik Koffee Busselton WA
This year, on the 9th of August, over 800 cafes, businesses and coffee roasters teamed up with their customers to raise just over $200,000. It was a massive community effort and by working together we are going to impact hundreds of lives. Thanks to everyone who got involved. Read More

Katie Couric Lands Manti Te'o 'Exclusive'
Originally published on Mon January 21, 2013 9:09 am
The big "get" goes to Katie Couric.
While Notre Dame football star Manti Te'o has spoken to ESPN — and said he did not participate in the hoax about a "dead" girlfriend who turned out to be neither real nor dead — that wasn't on camera or recorded.
Which is why ABC-TV's Katie Couric can say her sit-down with Te'o and his parents will be the player's "first TV interview." The show hasn't said when or where the interview will be recorded. But is it letting everyone know it will be broadcast on Thursday. And it wouldn't be a big surprise to see the show release some video highlights before then to build anticipation.

Enjoyable and entertaining
Let's start off with the fact that I am not a movie-critic or whatsoever. However, I do watch a lot, I mean a LOT of movies in every genre there is. The one thing I have learned is that you know beforehand what you can expect from a movie to a certain extend. You don't know whether it will be good or bad exactly, but you do know whether it is "Oscar" material or not. Well, I never for a moment suspected this film to be anything more than a weak copy of American Pie 1 through 15 or any other teen-comedy out there. And here comes the surprise: it was more... Sometimes you just don't want forced plot-twists, mysterious characters or surrealistic worlds, but just sheer entertainment in a movie.
The movie starts off with an over-the-top Brady Bunch act-a-like family (only one kid though, but he can replace all the Brady kids in one). Of course the kid feels embarrassed for his family, from the moment he notices that this "being nice" and "love your parents in a over-the-top manner" is not really falling into the category "cool" at his new school. He realizes that with a "little" lie here and there, he can make his life a lot more interesting and maybe even belong to the cool kids eventually. I know for sure that nearly everyone exaggerated or maybe even lied in school, making there lives more colored and exciting than they really were. People want to belong, that's human nature. Imagine if everything you have exaggerated about, would come true... Well that is exactly what this movie is about and this is, to me, what makes this movie enjoyable.
There are a lot of jokes in this movie, and of course there are ones that are just not funny and ones that you can see coming from a mile away. But what do you expect from this type of film? All in all there are enough humorous moments in this movie, and even the moralistic ending of this movie (also no surprise) could not spoil the fun I had watching "Full of it". So, if you are looking for a fun film with some good laughs which you don't have to think about too much, watch this movie; it's entertaining. And that, to me, is still the most important...

Brussels — The European Commission wants to focus on developing renewable "green" hydrogen, but other types of low-carbon hydrogen can play a role, EU energy commissioner Kadri Simson said July 7.
Receive daily email alerts, subscriber notes & personalize your experience.Register Now
"Our focus is renewable hydrogen, because it brings the biggest added value: it is fully emission-free [and] it helps manage our electricity system," Simson said during a visit to the 10 MW Refhyne electrolyzer project at Shell's Rheinland refinery in Wesseling, Germany.
The EU has "global leadership" in producing electrolyzers, Simson said.
But "in order to scale up demand for green hydrogen, we need to take industry on board and they need security of supply," she said.
This means other types of low-carbon hydrogen could be used to help develop both a hydrogen economy and the EU's transition to climate-neutrality by 2050, she said.
Low-carbon "blue" hydrogen is produced from natural gas via steam methane reforming and carbon capture and storage, or via pyrolysis.
The EC plans to launch a public-private Clean Hydrogen Alliance on July 8 to help scale up industrial production and demand for low-carbon hydrogen, focused mainly on renewable hydrogen.
A similar initiative for developing a sustainable European battery sector has mobilized billions of euros of public and private investment since it was set up in 2017.
Hydrogen projects involving several EU countries and significantly contributing to the EU's climate goals could be designated Important Projects of Common European Interest, allowing them to receive state aid from national governments.
Push on electrolysers
The EC wants to see at least 4 GW of electrolyzer capacity installed in the EU by 2024, it said in an unofficial draft of the EU hydrogen strategy it plans to present on July 8, along with the Clean Hydrogen Alliance launch.
Europe currently has less than 1 GW/year of electrolyzer capacity, with a project pipeline for additional capacity of more than 1 GW, according to the draft made available to EU news agency Euractiv.
The Refhyne project, which is to use renewable electricity to produce green hydrogen, is "a great example of partnership between the European Commission, European industry and researchers," Simson said.
The EU's Fuel Cell Hydrogen Joint Undertaking helped fund the Refhyne project, which aims to show renewable hydrogen can be a viable option for refineries, coupled with revenues from helping the power grid balance.
The renewable hydrogen is to help cut emissions by replacing some of the refinery's current hydrogen supply which comes from steam methane reforming natural gas.
UK hydrogen company ITM has installed and started testing five 2 MW PEM electrolyzers on the site, but the planned 2020 start may be delayed by coronavirus restrictions, it said in June.
The electrolyzers are the largest of their kind to be deployed at industrial scale, according the project website.
The EC wants to see 100 MW electrolyzers developed by 2024, according the draft EU hydrogen strategy.
These electrolyzers could be installed next to existing demand centers in larger refineries, steel plants and chemical complexes, preferably using locally-produced renewable electricity, the draft said.

noway having smoked a cigarette in her life, actress Kate Micucci, best known for her part as Lucy on the CBS sitcom” Big Bang Theory,” says she had surgery for lung cancer. In a videotape that she uploaded to TikTok on Saturday, Micucci said,” Hey everybody, this isn’t a TikTok, it’s a’ Sick Tok.

” It’s really weird, because I have noway smoked a cigarette in my life so, you know, it was a surprise.” The” topmost news” she said was that the cancer was removed because it was discovered beforehand.” All good,” she declared.
Indeed though smoking is a significant threat factor for lung cancer, giving up According to the American Cancer Society, over to 20 of Americans who pass down from lung cancer noway smoked or used any other type of tobacco.

The Mayo Clinic states that although there’s a link between smoking marijuana and a advanced threat of lung cancer, further exploration is still needed to ascertain the medicine’s long- term health goods. According to the CDC, those who have smoked smaller than 100 cigarettes or who don’t bomb cigarettes each time account for between 20,000 and 40,000 cases of lung cancer.
About 7,3000 cases are linked to secondary bank, and about 2,900 cases are linked to radon gas. nonetheless, if you have noway smoked, the U.S.

Goshen County Public Health officials were notified of a second case of COVID-19 on April 3.
In a press release, Heather Saul, Goshen County Public Health emergency response coordinator, said the Wyoming Department of Health is investigating this case and high risk contacts will be notified. The patient, a man in his 20s, is currently not hospitalized.
Last week, Goshen County authorities announced its first case on March 27, a woman in her 40s. The source of that case had not yet been attributed as community spread or otherwise, Saul said earlier this week.
Local agencies will continue to provide community education about mitigation efforts such as social distancing. Evidence from other affected cities and countries clearly shows that areas that initiated mitigation measures prior to widespread community transmission are significantly better able to address their community’s needs.

It is well recognized that the population of individuals over the age of 65 in the United States is expanding. With age, comes natural and expected physiologic deficits in the musculoskeletal system that affect the pursuit of exercise and fitness.
The benefits of exercise and fitness are well documented, with numerous health benefits across age groups. Exercise can be pursued to accommodate for deficits that come with the normal aging process, as well as to compensate for, or improve the status of, underlying chronic disease in all ages. When considering the treatment of chronic diseases or conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, Parkinson’s, depression, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, and arthritis, medical science has made great strides and continues to develop novel therapies and medications to combat these diseases. The medical community also recognizes that a comprehensive approach, across medical disciplines, can create improved outcomes. This collaboration should include physicians, massage therapists, acupuncturists, physical therapists, doctors of chiropractic medicine, and fitness professionals, among others.
This approach embodies the concept of medical fitness: a comprehensive and holistic approach to maximize the health and quality of life through disease or deficit-specific fitness interventions.
If we acknowledge the role of exercise in medical fitness, then it makes logical sense that fitness professionals should be included within this paradigm. Fitness professionals will be essential to the further development of this medical fitness concept and our ability as healthcare professionals to meet the growing need of the aging population. As the healthcare community continues to explore the role of exercise in the care of individuals with chronic disease, the engagement of fitness professionals in exercise prescription and implementation will be essential to accomplish a holistic and comprehensive approach.
To enable the success of this integration, fitness professionals should take the initiative and continue to advance their industry in the following ways:
- Continue to build upon medical fitness educational resources available to fitness professionals. This can involve further expansion of coursework, webinars, conferences, and web content. It is essential that all this work is done under the guidance of established credentialing organizations.
- More exposure should be brought to fitness professionals with education in medical fitness. Medical professionals, and individuals with disease or deficits, should be able to find fitness professionals with this specialty training via established networks. This will maximize the implementation of exercise prescription, and consequently the benefits received from this intervention.
- Fitness professionals who make an effort to advance their knowledge should feel supported through various educational platforms that provide updates in standard of care, additional ways to collaborate, and continued exposure to future advancements in medical fitness.
The medical community should work together toward an integrative approach, while providing fitness professionals the platform to become rooted in the medical paradigm. This will go a long way to maximize the many benefits exercise and fitness can provide for our aging population and individuals with chronic disease.

The California Primary is 10 days away. This will be the first real test of the post-2016 electorate — a supposedly more energized group of people on both sides who were inspired to become more aware and more involved in politics due to the election of President Trump.
Hopefully all these newly inspired voters will turn out at the polls or vote by mail. The most important thing for our democracy is that all the people who are eligible to vote do so. The candidates voted in on Election Day are really secondary to the fact that the electorate was fully involved in making choices.
The ballot before local voters includes all the major statewide offices, U.S. Senator, 25th District Congress, Assembly races, judicial posts, as well as the county assessor and sheriff’s races. There are also five state propositions on the ballot.
In the past, many voters have overlooked primary elections, putting their attention on the November races. But the primary actually may be more important than the general election. June is when voters if they turn out at the polls can help their candidates make the cut for November. With California’s open primary system, the top two vote getters in the primary regardless of party make it to the general election. A candidate who gets the momentum early on has a better chance of making it all the way.
The Signal has done video interviews of the four major candidates in the 25th Congressional District race (Incumbent Republican Steve Knight and Democrats Bryan Caforio, Katie Hill and Jess Phoenix).
Videos can be found at Signalscv.com. The two 38th Assembly candidates, Dante Acosta and Christy Smith, are guaranteed to go on to the November election but the congressional race must be cut in half on June 5. So voting in the primary is extremely important in that race.
We asked the candidates questions about the major issues. Take a look at the videos if you want more information about the candidates’ positions on issues or just want to see how they answer questions.
Being engaged in our government doesn’t just mean supporting a candidate or an issue on social media. It means voting for them. If you’re not voting by mail, find your polling place at lavote.net/locator.

|Type K||Thick-walled copper pipe||Water services and well pumps|
Type M copper water pipes are the most cost effective option and are suitable for most residential plumbing needs. Type L copper water pipes certainly are a middle-range option that gives more durability and resistance to pressure. Type K copper water pipes will be the thickest and a lot durable option, making them ideal for water services and well pumps.
Forms of Copper Gas Pipes
Copper gas pipes are used to transport natural gas or propane in residential and commercial properties. There are 2 varieties of copper gas pipes:
|Type L||Thick-walled copper pipe||Natural gas, propane, and HVAC systems|
|Type K||Extra-thick copper pipe||Gas lines in industrial settings|
Type L copper gas pipes would be the most commonly used option in residential and commercial properties for natural gas, propane, and HVAC systems. Type K copper gas pipes are extra-thick and typically employed in industrial settings for natural gas lines.
When deciding on copper pipes for your personal plumbing project, it’s crucial that you look at the specific application and the type of fluid or gas being transported. Speak with a professional plumber if you’re unsure which type of copper pipe suits any project.
Different Copper Pipe Sizes and Diameter Options
In relation to copper pipes, size matters. Copper pipes can be found in various sizes, which could impact the water flow, pressure, and compatibility with fittings. It’s important to choose the right size for your specific plumbing needs.
The most prevalent sizes for copper pipes are 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, and 1 inch. However, copper pipes can are also available in smaller or larger sizes, depending on the application. It is essential to be aware that copper pipe sizes are derived from the inside diameter of your pipe.
When selecting a copper pipe size, it’s important to think about the water flow rate that you require. A bigger diameter copper pipe allows for any greater water flow rate, while a smaller diameter copper pipe will restrict the flow. Additionally, you should be sure that the copper pipe works with the fittings you plan to use, both when it comes to size and material.
This is a table that outlines the many copper pipe sizes and their corresponding diameters:
|Copper Pipe Size||Inside Diameter (inches)|
|1/4 inch||.375 inches|
|3/8 inch||.5 inches|
|1/2 inch||.625 inches|
|3/4 inch||.875 inches|
|1 inch||1.125 inches|
It’s worth noting that these are the standard sizes and diameters for copper pipes. However, custom sizes and diameters can also be ordered if necessary. If you’re puzzled by what size copper pipe to use for your plumbing project, consult with a plumbing professional.
Different Copper Pipe Materials
Copper pipes may be found in various materials, each with unique characteristics that make them suitable for different tasks. The 3 most common materials utilized to make copper pipes are Type M, Type L, and Type K.
|Type of Copper Pipe Material||Thickness||Advantages||Disadvantages|
|Type M||Thin||Most inexpensive||Least durable|
|Type L||Medium||Durable, flexible, and commonly used||More pricey than Type M|
|Type K||Thick||Most durable||Most high-priced|
Type M: This kind of copper pipe is the thinnest and the lowest priced. Due to its thinness, Type M is just not as durable as the other types, so that it is suitable for areas with low water pressure and minimal wear.
Type L: Type L copper pipes are medium thickness and they are one of the most commonly used enter residential plumbing. Type L is more flexible than Type M, making it easier to bend and shape. It is additionally stronger than Type M, making it suited to areas with moderate water pressure and deterioration.
Type K: Type K copper will be the thickest and the majority of durable form of copper pipe. For its thickness, it is also the most expensive. Type K copper is best suited for areas with high water pressure and significant damage, such as underground plumbing or industrial applications.
Deciding on the best copper pipe material is essential for ensuring the success and longevity of the plumbing project. Consider the pressure requirements, water flow, and durability essential for the particular application when picking a variety of copper pipe.
Deciding on the Best Copper Pipe For Your Personal Project
Now that you have familiarized yourself with all the different copper pipe types, sizes, and materials available, it’s time to choose the right one for your particular plumbing project. Here are some key things to consider:
Copper pipes could be more expensive than other plumbing materials, so it’s important to keep your budget at heart. Type M copper pipes are generally the most cost effective, while Type L and kind K are more expensive due to their thicker walls and higher durability.
Flow rate and pressure requirements
Different copper pipe sizes and materials have varying flow rates and pressure ratings. Make sure to select a copper pipe that may handle the specific flow rate and pressure requirements of your plumbing system. For example, Type K copper pipes possess the highest pressure rating and are fantastic for underground water mains or large-scale plumbing projects.
Compatibility Along With Other plumbing materials
It’s important to pick a copper pipe that is compatible with other materials in your plumbing system, for example connectors, valves, and other piping components. Ensure that you choose a copper pipe which can be easily joined with many other plumbing parts to prevent leaks or some other issues.
Appropriate Form of copper pipe
In line with the nature of the plumbing project, it’s crucial that you select the right sort of copper pipe. For example, if you’re installing a gas line, you’ll need to have a Type L or Type K copper gas pipe instead of a water pipe. Similarly, if you’re taking care of a low-pressure system, Type M copper pipes can be sufficient.
By considering these important aspects, it is possible to choose the best copper pipe to your project with confidence. Make sure you check local plumbing codes and regulations to ensure compliance before installing any copper piping. Good luck with your plumbing endeavors!

May 31, 2009 (Orlando, Florida) — Another adverse effect from hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in postmenopausal women has emerged — the use of combined progestin and estrogen hormone therapy increases the risk for death from non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
|Dr. Rowan Chlebowski (Photo courtesy of ASCO)|
The finding comes from a secondary analysis of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study, which found that among current smokers who were using hormones, 1 in 100 experienced an avoidable death during the 8 years of the study.
"One in 100 is a colossal mortality for a treatment that is used for symptom management," said lead author Rowan Chlebowski, MD, PhD, medical oncologist at the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.
The clear message is don't smoke and take hormones.
"The clear message is don't smoke and take hormones," Dr. Chlebowski told Medscape Oncology .The other message is that women who are taking hormones and who are diagnosed with NSCLC should stop taking the hormones, he added.
Dr. Chlebowski was speaking at a press conference here at the American Society of Clinical Oncology 45th Annual Meeting, where he presented the findings.
The moderator of the press briefing, Bruce Johnson, MD, director of the Dana-Farber Harvard Medical Center Lung Cancer Program, in Boston, Massachusetts, explained that these findings are robust because they come from a randomized clinical trial, where the effect of hormones was isolated. Many of the previous data about hormones and lung cancer have come from case–control studies. There are also preclinical data suggesting that estrogen can increase the growth of lung cancer, and so the finding "makes a lot of sense from a pathophysiological standpoint."
The new data showing an increase in mortality from NSCLC are "yet another reason not to take hormones," Dr. Johnson noted.
"We already know that combined hormone therapy has more risks than benefits, including a higher risk of stroke and breast cancer," said Dr. Chlebowski. These new data showing a link with death from NSCLC "should influence discussions between physicians and women considering hormone therapy use, especially those with a smoking history," he added.
About 15% of postmenopausal women in the United States currently use HRT, he said, which is about half the number doing so before 2002, when the WHI study was stopped prematurely because of the adverse effects of HRT. About 15% of postmenopausal women in the United States smoke, he added .
Effect on NSCLC, but Not on SCLC
The WHI was conducted in 16,608 mostly healthy postmenopausal women, aged 50 to 79 years, who were randomized to receive either placebo or combined hormone therapy with conjugated equine estrogen (0.625 mg) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (2.5 mg). The 2 groups were well balanced for all factors, including smoking.
The analysis for lung cancer was carried out after 5.6 years on the trial intervention and 2.4 years of additional follow-up. The incidence of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and deaths from SCLC were similar in the 2 groups. The incidence of NSCLC showed a nonsignificant trend toward an increase in the hormone group, whereas mortality after NSCLC diagnosis was significantly higher in the hormone group than in the placebo group (46.3% vs 27%, respectively; hazard ratio [HR], 1.59; P = .04).
As a result, women taking hormones were more likely to die from NSCLC than those taking placebo (p=.02), Dr. Chlebowski reported.
Dr. Chlebowski also presented absolute numbers:
For all participants, there were 67 deaths in the 8052 patients in the hormone group and 39 deaths in the 7678 patients in the placebo group (HR, 1.61).
For women who had never smoked, there were 9 deaths in the 4178 patients in the hormone group and 5 deaths in the 3999 patients in the placebo group (HR, 1.67).
For women who had smoked in the past, there were 29 deaths in the 3362 patients in the hormone group and 15 deaths in the 3157 patients in the placebo group (HR, 1.83).
For current smokers, there were 27 deaths in the 800 patients in the hormone group and 19 deaths in the 838 patients in the placebo group.
It was from the figures for current smokers that Dr. Chlebowski estimated the difference of 8 deaths in approximately 800 women, giving an excess risk for mortality of 1 in 100.
Asked to comment by Medscape Oncology, Julie Brahmer, MD, assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, who was not involved in the study, said the finding is "intriguing." Previous studies have hinted at an increase in the incidence of lung cancer in women taking hormonal therapy, but this study shows an increase in the risk of dying from NSCLC, she said.
"It adds credence to our discussions with patients," Dr. Brahmer added, "for when we sit down to discuss the pros and cons of hormone therapy, and ask: Is it worth it?"
For women who have been diagnosed with lung cancer, Dr. Brahmer said her advice is not to take hormones, or to stop taking them, although she added that each case has to be considered individually, to take into account how many postmenopausal symptoms are disrupting quality of life.
Dr. Chlebowski also emphasized this point, and noted that in the WHI study, about 30% of women who were diagnosed with NSCLC continued to take hormones. "The message now is that these patients should stop taking them," he said.
Dr. Chlebowski has acted as a consultant or in an advisory role and has received honoraria from for Amgen, Eli Lilly, Wyeth, AstraZeneca, and Novartis. Dr. Johnson has acted in a consultancy or advisory role with Genzyme; has stock ownership in Boston Scientific, Celgene, and Johnson & Johnson; and receives royalty payments from a license to Genzyme for doing EGFR mutation testing. Dr. Brahmer has acted as an adviser to AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, and ImClone.

Here is your Chelsea morning digest on Monday, December 6, as Thomas Tuchel's side look to bounce back from defeat at West Ham on Saturday with a win in the Champions League against Zenit St Petersburg.
Timo Werner race
According to El Nacional, Manchester United are now the frontrunner to land Chelsea and Germany star Timo Werner.
Ralf Rangnick worked with Werner at Leipzig and has a first-hand idea of the striker’s strengths and potential. The German manager would be keen on reuniting with his star forward at Old Trafford.
However, the report adds that Roman Abramovich would prefer to sell him to Barcelona than a direct rival.
Chelsea and Man United told how to sign Erling Haaland
Borussia Dortmund chief Michael Zorc has admitted that star striker Erling Haaland could be allowed to leave the club in the coming transfer windows.
"The fact is that he has a contract. But it's also a fact, and this is no secret, that he can leave the club under certain conditions," Zorc explained in an interview with German outlet Sport1, via the Mirror.
"Both Erling and the club are dealing with the issue very professionally. We'll see how things progress.
"There is, despite the pandemic, no economic need to sell him. That is also a fact. We will sit down and see how the talks go."
Read the full story here.
'No chance' Antonio Rudiger stays
Paul Merson believes that Antonio Rudiger has already made his mind up on his Chelsea future ahead of January's transfer window.
There's still some optimism amongst some supporters that he'll be wearing blue next season, but as Merson has suggested in his column for the Daily Star, him staying is looking more and more unlikely.
“Chelsea are going to miss Antonio Rudiger when he goes because it will take £60-70m to replace him," he said.
“Rudiger is definitely leaving. If he wanted to sign a new contract he would have done it by now. There’s no chance he stays now."
Find out what else he said via this link.

Are we about to see some major changes unfold on “Scandal” season 2? We don’t know if we would use the word “major” to describe them, but you can anticipate a few characters getting a much greater opportunity to step into the spotlight on the show soon than they have in the past.
According to a new report from Zap2It, Columbus Short’s character of Harrison is going to be seeing a little bit more of a showcase in the second half of this season (which will officially begin after episode 13), as he has not had a feature episode at all so far in season 2. What will it contain? Most details are still murky, but anticipate there being a possible love interest.
For most second-year shows, it is a little unusual to see them separated into two separate arcs in the same sort of way in which “Scandal” is for the coming season. However, there is a fairly reasonable explanation for it: when the series was ordered by ABC last spring, it was done with 13 episodes in mind given that they were not confident enough following an abbreviated first season to give it any more than that. However, times have changed drastically since that time; not only has “Scandal” become a pretty enormous hit for the network on Thursdays, but its ratings have become closer and closer to actually measuring up to its “Grey’s Anatomy” lead-in.
As for what you can see on Thursday night’s new episode, get ready to see what happens following Fitz admitting to his wife that he wants a divorce, and how Olivia is going to handle an unexpected marriage proposal.
What “Scandal” character do you want to see have a larger role on the show moving forward? Be sure to share your thoughts below, and you can also watch a preview for the next episode over here.

The Park in Yosemite is like a shrine. It still represents the best of the Park System and the American ideal of conservation. I was in shock however viewing the mile after mile of standing dead timber from the multiple megafires. There were enormous accumulations of dead organic matter on the forest floor of the green forest. There were huge old snags everywhere. After 150 years of protection the park looks terrible.
But the fall is the magic time to be there. The cottonwoods and willows are bright yellow, and the Pacific dogwood has turned pink and pale orange. The park is quieter and the Valley is still just as spectacular as always. A trip to the Merced Grove of sequoias was quiet and tranquil. A giant old growth forest of ppine, Douglas fir, white fir, incense cedars and about 25 huge sequoias. There was a small perfectly built log cabin on the route, used by park superintendent as a refuge. The cabin was built with saddle notches and so perfect that no chinking was needed. We saw one other person and some mountain lion scat on the route.
At night around the campfire, we watched the full moon rise over the huge ponderosa pine, sugar pine and incense cedars. Each night I would take some coals from the fire with a shovel and put them in the wood stove in the old wall tent. Lying on my cot reading John Muir, I could watch the shadows of pine branches and cones move slowly across the the white canvas roof. The stove popped and crackled and hissed softly. With my dog Ruby at my side, I quickly fell into peaceful slumber.

After conducting the experiment I was able to identify each patients blood type by comparing the antigens and antibodies found within the blood. Materials and Methods Simulated blood, plastic slides, and antiserum were the materials used to perform this experiment. In order to specify each patients blood type it was necessary to place two drops of the simulated blood in each well on the plastic slide labeled A, B, and Rh. After dropping the blood into the specified wells the appropriate antiserum was added to determine the blood type.
The three antiserums A, B and Rh were placed accordingly to the matching blood type on the slide, a toothpick was used to mixed the the two together, if agglutination occurred a positive result was indicated. If all three wells on the slide were without agglutination the blood type of the specific individual was identified as O. By concluding which antigens are present in the blood I was also able to figure out which antibodies are present. The antibodies in the blood attack the foreign red blood cells by binding to them.
For example type A blood has A antigens and B antibodies, the B antibodies are ready to attack or destroy B antigens (since those antigens would be foreign in this particular persons red blood cells). ("Blood typing," 2001) Results The results of the experiment yielded four different blood types. Mr. Green’s blood type is AB+, Ms. Brown is O-, Mr. Smith is A+ and Mr. Jones has a B- blood type. The chart below depicts exactly how I came to these results..... Individual Antigens Antibodies Donate Receive Outcome present present to: from: blood type: 1. Mr. Green A, B, Rh None AB+ universal AB+ . Ms. Brown None A, B, Rh universal O- O- 3. Mr. Smith A, Rh B A+, AB+ O+,O-,A+,A- A+ 4. Mr. Jones B A, Rh B+,B-,AB+,AB- O-,B- B- Discussion The first individual Mr. Green had antigens A, B and Rh present but no antibodies present thus concluding Mr. Green had AB+ type blood. AB+ blood can only be donated to those with the same blood type but can be recipient of any blood type (universal recipient). The second individual tested was Ms. Brown, her tests results indicated she had no antigens present on her blood which means she has antibodies A, B, and Rh in her blood. Ms.
Brown’s blood type is O- making her a universal donor but can only be a recipient of O- blood during a transfusion. The third individual Mr. Smith had the presence of antigens A and Rh and antibodies B within his blood. Mr. Smith’s blood type is A+. People with A+ blood can only be a donor to people with A+ and AB+ blood, but can receive from blood types O+, O-, A+ and A-. The fourth and last individual tested was Mr. Jones his tests concluded he has B- type blood. Those results came from finding B antigens present as well antibodies A and Rh within his blood. Mr. Jones can donate blood to people with B+, B-, AB+ and AB- blood.
He is however only to receive blood from people with O- and B- blood types. Although none of the individuals tested had an O+ blood type it is considered to be the most common blood type. ( American Red Cross) The testing was done very carefully and strategically but does not mean that the results could not yield from a possible error. Errors could have occurred from mixing to much antiserum with the respected blood types giving a false outcome. An error could also happen from not mixing serums well enough to get agglutination leading to the conclusion that the antigen was not present in the blood.
According to all the data obtained I feel each individuals’ blood type was identified properly and carefully utilizing all materials and methods required. Answers from questions in lab book: Based on what has been observed I think the antiserum contain antibodies against specific antigens located within the simulated blood. The blood type considered to be the universal donor is O- and the universal recipient is AB+. I believe that not all people with Rh negative blood have the antibodies for Rh positive blood but, I do think that your body is able to produce them when needed.
A perfect example is an Rh negative woman who becomes pregnant with an Rh positive baby. A woman body may produce antibodies in response to the Rh positive baby. “If a small amount of the baby's blood mixes with your blood, which often happens, your body may respond as if it were allergic to the baby. Your body may make antibodies to the Rh antigens in the baby's blood. This means you have become sensitized and your antibodies can cross the placenta and attack your baby's blood. They break down the fetus's red blood cells and produce anemia (the blood has a low number of red blood cells).
This condition is called hemolytic disease or hemolytic anemia. It can become severe enough to cause serious illness, brain damage, or even death in the fetus or newborn. ” (“Rh Factor” 2006). The game online helped to demonstrate, even more, how important it is to be precise when figuring out someone blood type. Giving the wrong blood type to a patient during a transfusion or even surgery could lead to their death.

Dropping as part of Nike's Summer 2023 lineup.
Even though the Air More Uptempo is almost three decades old, its iconic design still remains unchanged. A retro silhouette that made an unexpected comeback last year thanks to its chunky proportions and retro looks, if for whatever reason you still don't have a pair in your daily rotation, perhaps the freshly-revealed Nike Air More Uptempo "Black Multi" will change your mind. Dropping as part of the American sportswear brand's Summer 2023 line-up, there are plenty of details here to unpack.
Featuring a full leather construction in black, the first thing that you'll notice is the oversized "AIR" branding across the lateral and medial sides. An element that's unique to the Uptempo, each individual letter has been outlined in racer blue, hyper pink, and bright crimson hues respectively. Complementary Swooshes make their way to the toebox and heel, and underfoot, the exposed bubbles have been done up in a fiery red color scheme that's sure to turn heads wherever you go. Interestingly enough, the tongue tab brand seems to be inspired by classic rock bands. Like the Air Force 1 High that we previewed earlier this week, "Nike" is written in a heavy metal-esque font, and the tag itself is covered with lightning bolts for a hardcore look and feel.
As you might have already gathered, the Nike Air More Uptempo Black Multi is set to release on March 10th, 2023. Retailing for $170 in men's sizes, they will also drop in GS sizing for $150. Look out for them at Nike, the SNKRS app, and select retailers worldwide. Let us know what you think of this upcoming colorway, and make sure you keep it locked on Sole Retriever's Twitter and Mobile App for the latest sneaker and streetwear news, releases, and raffles.

November 7 will see the release of the movies, Bala and the following day, November 8 will see Ujda Chaman hit screens, both of which are based on a similar central idea that is premature balding!
Bala stars Ayushmann Khurrana, who’s riding heavy after consecutive victories like Bareilly Ki Barfi, Andhadhun, Badhaai ho, Article 15, Dream Girl. Also featuring Yami Gautam and Bhumi Pednekar, Bala is directed by Amar Kaushik, who gave the unexpected blockbuster a year ago, the horror-comedy Stree movie. Producer Dinesh Vijan reportedly confirmed that ‘Stree 2’ is already in the works. Dinesh Vijan reportedly confirmed that the sequel will pick up from where ‘Stree’ ended.
The teaser of the film was released in August and was valued. With Ayushmann in the lead role, the movie will undoubtedly have a huge buzz, particularly once the trailer is out.
This Dinesh Vijan-produced film was initially scheduled to release on November 22. It was then preponed by a week, on November 15. And now the creators have further advanced the release by one more week. The choice was taken after Marjaavaan, which was to discharge on November 8, was delayed by a week.
This massy flick is a T-Series and Emmay Entertainment production, directed by Milap Zaveri and starring Sidharth Malhotra, Riteish Deshmukh, Tara Sutaria.
Meanwhile, Ujda Chaman too is scheduled to release on November 8. It is the remake of an acclaimed Kannada film Ondu Motteya Kathe and stars Sunny Singh in the lead role and Maanvi Gagroo, Saurabh Shukla, Atul Kumar, Grusha Kapoor, Gagan Arora, Karishma Sharma, Abhilash Chaudhary in supporting roles. It is produced by Abhishek Pathak and Kumar Mangat and also marks the directorial debut of the previous.
The trailer was released at some point back and was loved for its thought and humor. Also, as the name suggests, Ujda Chaman is about a man battling with his hair loss. Interestingly, Bala too handles a similar issue, and also stresses that inner beauty is more important than outer beauty.
Earlier, the situation was perfect as Bala was to release a week after Ujda Chaman. But now with both the movies scheduled to release around the same day, it is not yet clear if both of the film bows out of the clash or do both these movies with the same premise clash at the box office.

This post will be updated periodically with the latest information on how the coronavirus is affecting North Carolina. Scroll down for older updates. For a recap of last week's news, check out Coronavirus Live Updates: Week of Sept. 21.
Oct. 2, 2020
6:30 p.m. - Bars that have survived this long into the pandemic are now allowed to open to customers at 30% capacity outdoors. Phase 3 of Governor Roy Cooper's pandemic reopening plan went into effect at 5 p.m. The 11 p.m. curfew on alcohol sales in bars and restaurants is still in place. - Rebecca Martinez, WUNC
6:20 p.m. - Chapel Hill will not close off Franklin Street for Halloween this year. In fact, it's canceling all large town-sponsored festivals or special events through the rest of this year to reduce the spread of COVID-19. That includes the Festifall Arts Festival and the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Holiday Parade. - Rebecca Martinez, WUNC
6:10 p.m. - The state Health Department has updated its guidance for places of worship and now has an online tool kit to help them slow the spread of COVID-19. Doctor Ayaz Pathan, a physician and a congregant of the Islamic Center of Raleigh, was on the committee that decided to re-open for in-person Friday prayers a few months ago, after consulting the state and federal health guidelines in place at the time. Pathan says the prayer services are now shorter and socially distanced. Congregants have to reserve a spot in advance and health precautions are strictly enforced.
"People have been turned away for not wearing masks, they've been turned away for not bringing their own prayer rug from home. One of the main tenets of Islam is to take care of people and do right by people, so, that's why it's important," said Pathan.
Pathan said the Islamic Center has been interested in hosting a COVID testing event and the DHHS Tool kit includes information on how to do that. It also provides public health messaging and tips on how to request protective gear. - Rebecca Martinez, WUNC
2:20 p.m. - Students are isolated in a UNC Charlotte residence hall, after the virus that causes COVID-19 was detected in the dorm’s wastewater. This morning, emergency management officials tweeted that the virus was detected during routine sampling. Under the university’s protocol, residents in the hall must remain in the building until they are tested for coronavirus this afternoon. - Rebecca Martinez, WUNC
11:50 a.m. - In men's college football this Saturday, UNC Chapel Hill will return to play Boston College after a three week break because of coronavirus concerns. NC State will face the Pittsburgh Panthers, who have started their season 3-and-0. And Duke will host Virginia Tech. - Liz Schlemmer, WUNC
Oct. 1, 2020
5:17 p.m. - Western Carolina University will delay spring semester classes by two weeks and cut spring break in favor of a shorter mid-term reprieve. To mitigate coronavirus spread, Interim Provost Richard Starnes wrote in a statement that instruction will be a mix of in-person, online, and hybrid courses. - Rebecca Martinez, WUNC
4:31 p.m. - A Wake County judge will consider a proposed settlement between the Democratic-led state elections board and a group of retirees who sued to make absentee voting easier amid the COVID-19 pandemic. If approved, the settlement would extend the period for counting absentee ballots post-marked by – but received after – Election Day. And it would allow voters whose ballots are missing statutorily-required witness information to cure the problem by affidavit. Republican lawmakers – co-defendants in the state case – vehemently oppose the proposal. They filed a motion in federal court to block it. Meanwhile, another federal judge has said the proposed cure violates his order in a different elections case – and will hold a hearing on that next week. - Rusty Jacobs, WUNC
12:20 p.m. - App State is rescheduling its football game against Louisiana-Lafayette because of positive COVID-19 tests and contact tracing involving players. App State did not reveal exactly how many players have tested positive for the coronavirus. The game was originally scheduled for next Wednesday. It will instead be in December. – Celeste Gracia, WUNC
9:25 a.m. - Some classes at UNC-Charlotte are resuming in-person learning Thursday. Select classes that are returning include programs that need in-person access to facilities, such as science lab and performing art classes and courses that primarily serve first-year students. All other courses will remain online. Students moved into on-campus housing earlier this week. They're only living in individual rooms. Students are required to complete a daily health check and get a flu shot. – Celeste Gracia, WUNC
8:05 a.m. - A North Carolina county health department has identified a COVID-19 cluster at its sheriff's office. The Macon County Health Department announced the cluster in a news release on Wednesday. But the department didn't say exactly how many workers at the sheriff's office tested positive for the coronavirus. The sheriff's office would only say that “multiple employees” fell ill and were tested, and that some of the tests have come back positive. The health department also said it is working to identify anyone who has been in close contact with any of the workers in the sheriff's office. – The Associated Press
7:20 a.m. - Operators of farmers markets and local food hubs can now apply for COVID-19 assistance. The state department of agriculture announced 750-thousand dollars will be available from federal COVID-19 funds. Funding is meant to help offset losses from reduced number of vendors and offering PPE and hand sanitizer to vendors and customers. The deadline to apply is Oct. 22. – Celeste Gracia, WUNC
7:05 a.m. - Bars, movie theaters and event spaces will be allowed to partially reopen Friday evening, under Governor Roy Cooper's Phase 3 plan. Some bar owners say it's too late for them, after six months of COVID-related closures.
As he announced the further easing of restrictions, Cooper said Thursday the state needs to do more to support small businesses. He also said many people don't feel safe patronizing those businesses that have been allowed to reopen already. Cooper urged struggling business owners to apply for the relief program providing assistance for mortgage, utility, and rent payments through the Department of Commerce.
Cooper's mask mandate remains in place for everyone over age 5. Large outdoor venues with more than 10,000 seats can also re-open at 7% capacity. Venues with less than 10,000 seats can open to 100 people or operate at 30% capacity, whichever is less. The mass gathering limits hold steady at 25 people indoors. 50 people outdoors. – Rebecca Martinez, WUNC
Sept. 30, 2020
2:59 p.m. - As he lifts more pandemic restrictions, Governor Roy Cooper is allowing bars and other entertainment venues to reopen with limited outdoor capacity starting Friday at 5 p.m. Cooper said the COVID-19 trends in North Carolina are encouraging and enabled the "cautious" step forward to Phase 3 of his reopening plan. - Rebecca Martinez, WUNC
1:05 p.m. - A Garner man has been charged with fraudulently applying for more than $6 million in COVID-19 federal relief funds. 38-year-old Tristan Bishop Pan submitted 14 Paycheck Protection Program loan applications and received more than $1.7 million for fake businesses. The applications for the businesses included falsified tax filings and statements about employee and payroll expenses. Pan was charged with wire fraud, bank fraud, and engaging in unlawful monetary transactions. – Celeste Gracia, WUNC
10:10 a.m. - Wake Forest Baptist Health is enrolling patients in a new Phase 2 clinical trial to determine whether four drugs already in use could be re-purposed to treat COVID-19. The health system is one of just 10 initial sites selected for the nationwide study. Dr. Clark Files, co-principal investigator for the trial’s Wake Forest Baptist site, says most of the drugs selected target the body’s immune response.
“There are a lot of aspects of severe COVID-19 that are similar to other severe infections where the problem really becomes,” Flies said. “Not necessarily only the virus that's causing trouble, but the body's response to the virus that causes a lot of trouble.”
Files says the goal is to reduce mortality, and the amount of time patients spend on ventilators. So far, 15 Wake Forest Baptist patients with severe COVID-19 have been enrolled in the trial. - April Laissle, WFDD
8:40 a.m. - The Wake County Firearms Education and Training Center will reopen to the public on Friday. Every-other lane will be closed off to keep shooters socially distanced. People must reserve a time and space online. – Celeste Gracia, WUNC
8:20 a.m. - Governor Roy Cooper is scheduled to make an announcement about the next steps of the state's phased re-opening plan Wednesday. Last week the governor said he plans to allow large outdoor venues to open at 7% capacity starting Friday if COVID-19 trends continue to improve. – Celeste Gracia, WUNC
8:05 a.m. - The Winston-Salem Forsyth County Utilities will resume charging late fees on past-due bills starting tomorrow. Customers unable to pay the total amount of their bill by the due date must enroll in payment plans by Oct. 30 to avoid disconnection. – Celeste Gracia, WUNC
7:50 a.m. - State officials say it's taking extensive reprogramming to distribute additional unemployment benefits. The extra $50 a week won't go out until the end of October. State lawmakers approved the supplemental benefits through the end of this year in the latest COVID-19 relief bill.
Governor Roy Cooper signed the measure earlier this month. But the state's employment agency says it consulted with the U-S Labor Department and found that not all people getting federal unemployment benefits are eligible for the $50 supplement. There are also changes coming to federal benefits, including a shorter limit on how long people can get them.
That means the division has to reprogram and test its distribution system before the new, bigger checks can go out. A spokeswoman says the agency plans to implement the increased benefit amount by Oct. 30. - Will Michaels, WUNC
7:35 a.m. - Wake County is using $17 million in federal pandemic relief funds to stave off evictions by paying landlords some back rent. Landlords would get up to 50% of what's owed since March in exchange for forgiving the rest and promising not to pursue an eviction. Landlords also have to agree to discount rent by 25% for the first three months of next year. Wake County Board of Commissioners Chairman Greg Ford says low and moderate income tenants will be given priority.
“We will not only prevent renters in our community from being displaced, but we will also ensure that landlords receive a portion of the money they're owed,” Ford said. “Both are good for our residents. Both are good for our economy.”
Ford says launching the program now will help prevent a crisis once a federal eviction moratorium expires at the end of this year. – Celeste Gracia, WUNC
Sept. 29, 2020
5:30 p.m. - A student at Appalachian State University has died of complications of COVID-19. Chancellor Sheri Everts gave her condolences in a press release today, confirming that student Chad Dorrill had died.
Dorrill lived off campus in Boone and was taking all online classes. After he started feeling unwell, his mother encouraged him to come home to the Winston-Salem area to isolate. According to the Wautauga Democrat, he died Monday night at Forsyth Medical Center. - Liz Schlemmer, WUNC
4:50 p.m. - The Transportation Security Administration has installed new acrylic barriers at security checkpoints throughout Raleigh-Durham International Airport to prevent the spread of COVID-19. An email from TSA says it has erected 30 barriers where officers typically interact with passengers including document check podiums and baggage screening positions. - Rebecca Martinez, WUNC
2:20 p.m. - It will likely be another month before an extra $50 a week will be distributed to North Carolinians receiving unemployment benefits. When the legislature passed the latest COVID-19 relief bill in early September, it included the $50 a week supplement to federal unemployment benefits. But a spokeswoman for the state's employment agency says the division had to reprogram and test its IT system before sending out the money. She says the distribution has been made more complicated by the fact that the cap on extended federal benefits will drop from about 9 weeks to 6 six weeks next month. The additional funds will be sent by the end of October, and will be retroactive to September 6. The state has received more than 2.4 million unemployment claims since the pandemic hit North Carolina in March. - Will Michaels, WUNC
2:10 p.m. - More than a million voters in North Carolina have requested absentee ballots this year, and more than 200,000 have been returned already. County elections boards are getting a much needed head start on processing them. Bipartisan legislation enacted in June gave county elections boards an extra two weeks to start processing this year's deluge of absentee ballots. This week elections officials may begin feeding accepted ballots into tabulators. Durham County Elections Board Chairman Phil Lehman says this will help prevent any major delays in getting final counts after Election Day.
"They're actually counted but not for anybody to see, it's very confidential, no tapes are run, we have no idea what the totals are," said Lehman.
Lawmakers anticipated a surge of absentee ballots from voters concerned about voting in person during the COVID-19 pandemic. - Rusty Jacobs, WUNC
2 p.m. - Ten soldiers at the 82nd Airborne Division in Fort Bragg have taken their own lives so far this year. Only 4 did so last year. Division leadership is re-examining how they're addressing suicide awareness. Major General Christopher Donahue believes forced periods of isolation caused by the COVID-19 has been a major factor in the increase of suicides. – Celeste Gracia, WUNC
11:45 a.m. - The Carolina Panthers is partnering with conglomerate company Honeywell to give fans who attend games in Charlotte personal protective equipment. The custom PPE kits will include masks, hand sanitizer and cleaning wipes. Honeywell also created an online dashboard to monitor the air quality of the Bank of America stadium. Fans could attend a home game as soon as this Sunday. Governor Roy Cooper said last week he plans to allow large outdoor venues to open at 7% capacity starting Friday if COVID-19 trends continue to improve. The Panthers host the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. – Celeste Gracia, WUNC
11:35 a.m. - Southwest Elementary School in Durham is closed Tuesday because of a probable positive case of COVID-19 in a staff member. Durham Public Schools says contact tracing is underway. The school is a meal-pick up site. Families can instead get meals Tuesday from WG Pearson Elementary. The school will open again Wednesday. – Celeste Gracia, WUNC
11:30 a.m. - Wake County residents whose finances have been impacted by COVID-19 can now apply for rental assistance to avoid eviction. The eviction prevention program will pay landlords up to 50% of rent owed since March. In exchange, landlords must forgive the remaining 50% and discount rent by 25% for the first three months of 2021. They must also agree not to pursue eviction.
Wake County Commissioners Chairman Greg Ford says this program will help prevent a crisis once a federal eviction moratorium expires at the end of this year.
“We cannot wait until January to provide housing assistance to residents struggling to make ends meet. By getting in front of this now we can help folks get caught up on rent payments or find alternative housing solutions,” Ford said.
Wake County is offering residents legal help to negotiate with landlords. If they can't reach an agreement, the county will help relocate residents. – Will Michaels, WUNC
8:25 a.m. - The Wake County Board of Education meets Tuesday night to decide on when students can return to in-person learning. Elementary school and some special needs students could resume in-person learning in late October. Sixth through 12th graders could also be back on a three-week rotation starting in November. – Celeste Gracia, WUNC
8:10 a.m. - Wake County is launching a new, free COVID-19 testing site in Wake Forest. The site will open tomorrow and continue until Saturday. Appointments can be made online. People who have COVID-like symptoms or have been in close contact with a known positive case should get tested. – Celeste Gracia, WUNC
7:50 a.m. - Two schools in Cumberland County will be closed Wednesday through Friday following positive COVID-19 cases impacting staff. Cumberland County Schools says Lewis Chapel Middle School and 71st High School will be deep cleaned. Learning will continue remotely. Officials did not specify the exact amount of positive cases. – Celeste Gracia, WUNC
7:35 a.m. - The State Department of Health and Human Services has updated visitation guidelines for nursing homes, citing improved COVID-19 trends. Indoor visits will be allowed at facilities that have recorded no COVID-19 cases within 14 days and that are located in counties where no more than 10 percent of coronavirus tests are coming back positive. – Celeste Gracia, WUNC
7:20 a.m. - The Republican National Convention released a report saying no one contracted COVID-19 at the event in Charlotte in August. Last month, Mecklenburg County reported four people who were at the RNC tested positive for COVID-19. The Charlotte Observer reports the RNC followed up with 252 attendees in an effort to track COVID-19 infections. The event involved roughly 1,200 delegates, party officials and support staff. – Celeste Gracia, WUNC
Sept. 28, 2020
5:13 p.m. - Republican National Convention officials have released a report saying no one contracted COVID-19 at the event in Charlotte in August. When the report was released publicly Friday, the results had yet to be shared with Mecklenburg County health officials, according to the Charlotte Observer. The RNC followed up with 252 attendees in an effort to track COVID-19 infections. The event, however, involved roughly 800 delegates and party officials, plus 400 support staff. The report says mask-wearing was inconsistent and recommends reminders and more planning time for future events. - Amy Jeffries, WUNC
12:54 p.m. - UNC football has added Western Carolina to its fall schedule. The in-state foes will play on Dec. 11 in Chapel Hill. The game fills a hole in the Tar Heels' schedule after their Sept. 19 game with Charlotte was canceled because of a cluster of COVID-19 cases involving that team. – Celeste Gracia, WUNC
7:55 a.m. - A number of school districts are solidifying their plans to bring students back to the classroom. There is an emerging trend in districts choosing to resume in-person learning: Bring the youngest students, and those with special needs, back to classrooms first. That's the approach Johnston County and Guilford County Schools are taking, and others are considering.
The plans are being released following Governor Roy Cooper's announcements that elementary schools would be allowed to operate at full-capacity, full-time starting Oct. 5. Wake County Public Schools -- the state's largest district -- is yet to decide on its reopening plans. The Wake school board is slated to vote Tuesday on a plan to bring students back in stages, starting in November. - Cole del Charco, WUNC
7:40 a.m. - East Carolina University is furloughing 25 employees in its administration, finance and academic affairs departments. ECU estimates a loss of $25 million this fall semester because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The university says more furloughs may be coming soon. – Celeste Gracia, WUNC
7:20 a.m. - Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina announced it will issue $200 million in health and wellness retail cards to eligible members. The cards will be pre-loaded with up to $500 to help pay for health-related expenses, including food, over-the-counter medications and first aid supplies. Eligible members include those with fully insured medical, vision and dental plans from Blue Cross NC, but does not include customers of Medicare or the state health plan. Members can expect to receive their cards in the mail between Oct. 19 and Nov. 7. – Celeste Gracia, WUNC
7:05 a.m. - President Donald Trump’s push to inject new dynamics into the final weeks of the 2020 election is being overshadowed by the frightening realities of everyday life in the pandemic. The Republican president and his allies continue to downplay the health threat, but for swing voters on the ground in North Carolina, the coronavirus and the related economic challenges are a much more pressing concern than Trump's push to fill a Supreme Court vacancy, his wild threats of voter fraud or angry civil rights protesters. Still, it’s far from certain that Trump’s messaging challenge will ensure a victory for Democrat Joe Biden.
"This is a must-win state for whoever is to become the next president," said Lara Trump, the President’s daughter-in-law and a North Carolina native.
A loss in the state, which Democrats have carried only once at the presidential level in the last 30 years, would make Trump's path to a second term incredibly difficult and signal dire challenges elsewhere on the electoral map. – Steve Peoples, The Associated Press

For centuries, flow visualization has been the art of making fluid motion visible in physical and biological systems. Although such flow patterns can be, in principle, described by the Navier-Stokes equations, extracting the velocity and pressure fields directly from the images is challenging. We addressed this problem by developing hidden fluid mechanics (HFM), a physics-informed deep-learning framework capable of encoding the Navier-Stokes equations into the neural networks while being agnostic to the geometry or the initial and boundary conditions. We demonstrate HFM for several physical and biomedical problems by extracting quantitative information for which direct measurements may not be possible. HFM is robust to low resolution and substantial noise in the observation data, which is important for potential applications.
