Last Saturday HarlemGuy of HarlemCondoLife.com ventured to Finefare Supermarket. Think of it as Harlem's version of a Whole Foods. Located on 116th and Lenox Ave. It is deceptively cavernous. Always packed. Great prices. Great selection. Convenient location. Go there and you can one stop shop within a 1 block radius. Pharmacy. Banking. Fish. Gifts. Pet supplies. Best of all it is right on the "red" line which affords rapid ascent uptown or descent downtown.
Have you been to Finefare? We'd love to hear your comments on the experience.
The Fine Fare is surprisingly large and the selection is good – though the fresh produce is limited and often not so fresh. The wide aisles are like some suburban supermarket and the extended hours are convenient. They even have Murray's chickens!
Yes, it is on Lenox. It's almost my second home! Can definitely get pretty chaotic at times, but they do strive to get a variety of goods in there. And the people working there are very nice.


MedCity INVEST Pop Health, a new event taking place May 22, 2019 in New Orleans, will highlight how better population health will transform healthcare.

function fm = pm_make_fieldmap(P,flags)
% This function creates an unwrapped fieldmap (in Hz) from either
% a single or double echo complex image volume. In the case of a
% "single-echo" image, that will have been created by the vendor
% sequence out of two acquisitions with different echo times.
% The complex image volume(s) may consist of either real and

% flags       : Struct containing parameters guiding the unwrapping.
% .iformat    : 'RI' or 'PM'
%               'RI' - input images are Real and Imaginary. (default)

If the same number of women, ten thousand women is the number, use a Nexplanon implant, 5 become pregnant in the next year.
Professor James Trussell's Table 3-2 of contraceptive failure rates is in the source of these numbers. His table on page 50 of the book Contraceptive Technology (20th edition) states that the first year failure rate for Implanon and Nexplanon is 0.05% which is 5 per 10,000 women.
The same table lists the first year failure rate of combined and progestin only pills as 9% which works out to be 900 per 10,000 women.

Dr. Brett Barger The 2015-2016 academic year marks the next chapter at an institution that has become a key component of the Belleville community. On Aug. 1, 2015, Dr. Brett Barger began his role as interim president at Lindenwood University-Belleville.
Barger's long-running personal history with Lindenwood and previous ties to the Metro East have given him a broad vision for the future of the campus, coupled with a unique familiarity to the individuals and communities whose partnership and support helped make Lindenwood Belleville what it is today.
Barger's relationship with Lindenwood University began in 1990 when he enrolled as an undergraduate student at the St. Charles, Mo., campus.
After graduation, Barger spent a year working in sales before receiving a phone call from Lindenwood's president asking him to return to the university as an employee.
"I quickly gained an amazing and intensive education on the financial operations of Lindenwood," Barger said.
In 2000, he earned his master of business administration and seized an opportunity to start a business in Mexico.
"I was away from Lindenwood long enough to know without a doubt that my desire and purpose was to be in higher education at Lindenwood University," he said.
Upon his return to Lindenwood, Barger gained valuable experience in management of evening program site growth as the dean of Evening and Graduate Admissions and extension campuses. When the Belleville campus opened in 2003, Barger oversaw it along with the university's other evening class extension sites. Echoing his first interaction with the Lindenwood of the early 1990s, Barger's experiences at Lindenwood Belleville reminded him of the rapid growth and excitement that occurred only a decade earlier in St. Charles.
Barger most recently served as the associate vice president for operations and finance for Lindenwood University before being hired as interim president for the Belleville campus.
As Barger looks ahead to the campus' future, he is excited to begin an in-depth master plan that will include many opportunities for growth in student enrollment, academic programs, and facilities.
Barger believes that Lindenwood University-Belleville has impacted the Metro East as much as the region has influenced the campus.
Barger's message for the businesses, residents, and community leaders in the region is a simple one: take advantage of the opportunity to connect with Lindenwood students and faculty.


Home > Texas Marital Agreements > Standard Online Prenuptial Package > Can I Protect Retirement Funds With A Prenuptial Agreement?
It's important to be proactive when protecting retirement funds. In the event of a divorce, most spouses expect to divide assets such as the house, vehicles, and bank accounts. However, when it comes to retirement funds, spouses are sometimes surprised to learn that retirement funds will also be divided.
Under the Texas Family Code, retirement benefits accrued during marriage are community property. Retirement savings and other benefits acquired during the marriage are divided in a divorce regardless of whose name is on the plan or who earned it.
A good way to secure retirement assets is with a marital property agreement such as a prenup prior to marriage, or a postnup during marriage. A prenup is a binding agreement that establishes the property and financial rights of each spouse in the event of a divorce or death. If a couple is already married, they may sign a postnuptial agreement. Both prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are used to keep property separate and outside of the community estate.
Prenups for retirees or those close to retirement are becoming more and more common. They can designate 100% of a spouse's retirement benefits as the separate property of that spouse.
Without a marital agreement, the portion of a retirement plan owned before marriage is separate if it can be proven by clear and convincing evidence. Contributions to the plan and other benefits accrued during marriage are community property. Income produced by the retirement plan, including reinvested income, is also community property. Community property is divided in divorce. There is no automatic 50/50 division. If the plan has community and separate property in it and there is no way to distinguish them, it will all be presumed to be community property and will be divided "in a just and right division" by a judge.
All this uncertainty can be avoided with a prenup or postnup. An agreement can award each spouse 100% of his or her retirement, or can specify each one's percentage in each plan by agreement.

Турклуб «Романтик» — одесский некоммерческий туристический клуб. Является одним из старейших и наиболее известных туристских клубов, осуществляющих свою деятельность на территории Украины. Был основан в 1957 году группой студентов  Одесского политехнического института. В июле 1959 года участниками горного похода, организованным туристской секцией, было совершено первопрохождение перевала в горном районе Алтая, который получил название «Перевал одесских политехников».

Деятельность
На протяжении более полувека турклуб принимает активное участие во всестороннем развитии молодежи. Его деятельность оказала непосредственное влияние в формировании многих поколений одесских политехников, которые вследствие, становились выдающимися инженерами, музыкантами, мастерами спорта и успешными деятелями других сфер.

Одним из примеров является Мстислав Горбенко — первый одессит, покоривший вершину Эвереста в составе международной экспедиции и ныне являющийся директором альпклуба «Одесса». Первые шаги в области альпинизма и спортивного туризма Мстислав сделал именно в турклубе Романтик. Он также принимал непосредственное участие в развитии клуба, находясь в составе студенческого правления.

Клуб регулярно организовывает различного рода мероприятия и соревнования, направленные на популяризацию здорового образа жизни и развитие спортивного туризма. Многие соревнования проводятся совместно с Федерацией спортивного туризма Украины. Мероприятия организовываются в таких сферах, как пеший, горный, водный, лыжный, вело- и спелеотуризм. Походы, проведенные турклубом, регулярно принимают участие в первенствах Украины и всего мира. За счет этого, их участники получают спортивные звания и разряды вплоть до мастера спорта Украины.

Турклуб Романтик также является партнёром и соорганизатором одного из крупнейших туристических пеших переходов «100 километров за 24 часа по Поясу Славы», ежегодно обеспечивая всеобъемлющей поддержкой участников на контрольных пунктах маршрута.

Организация экспедиций участниками клуба, дала возможность совершить множество первопроходов перевалов и вершин, которые впоследствии получили названия, данные первопроходцами, тем самым внося свой вклад в развитие спортивного туризма и повышение уровня безопасности в горных районах всего мира.

Труды, приложенные при организации и обеспечении жизнедеятельности клуба, а также их значимость и вклад в развитие спортивного туризма и молодежи в СССР, а после — и в Украине, были упомянуты в научных публикациях и учебных пособиях.

История
Начало деятельности самоорганизованного туристического объединения было положено 12 марта 1957 года, когда студенты-химики ОПИ во главе с Валерием Юдиным решили сходить в поход вдоль берега моря. После успешного проведения похода и понимания актуальности затронутой сферы, студентами было решено организовать туристскую секцию при ОПИ.

В 1960-х годах секция столкнулась с такой проблемой, как запрет спортивного туризма на государственном уровне. Турсекция все равно продолжила свою деятельность, но в меньших масштабах. В 1963-м году запрет был снят и развитие спортивного туризма приобрело массовый характер.

31 октября 1963 года турсекция была оформлена как туристский клуб «Романтик». Были созданы и учреждены эмблема и устав клуба, которые с незначительными редакциями сохранились по сегодняшний день.

COMMENTARY | COLUMNISTS | GEORGE CHAMBERLIN
George Chamberlin's Money in the Morning
By GEORGE CHAMBERLIN, Executive Editor
Critics of the Federal Reserve have claimed for the past few years that the low interest-rate policy -- the Fed funds rate lingers near zero -- has benefited the one-percenters who have all their money in the stock market and have reaped the benefits of soaring share prices. Well, trading on Thursday and Friday, after the Fed decided to keep rates low, certainly didn't do anything to benefit investors, large or small. From the moment Janet Yellen began her press conference defending the decision to postpone a rate hike, the markets went into a free fall, dropping 160 points on Thursday and another 290 points on Friday.
Interestingly, the consensus has been shares will decline when the Fed finally begin hiking. However, the decision not to change rates proved to be viewed as a lack of leadership and not well received. The notion the Fed will know a lot more about the U.S. and global economies when they meet in late October seems rather silly. It continues to look like the Fed will remain cautious until well into 2016 unless they cave into pressure from many different directions.
Sam Stovall of S&P Capital IQ offers a point of view perhaps shared by many others when he asked in this morning's briefing, "Investors again can't help but wonder of the Fed's reluctance to recalibrate is cloaking a much more serious concern." He added that the recession is not a condition he believes is likely and neither the U.S. or global economies are "on the verge of collapse."
In other news, the National Association of Realtors reported existing home sales in August fell 4.8 percent, the first decline in four months. NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun said sales activity was down "as the persistent summer theme of tight inventory levels likely deterred some buyers." And, in a comment you won't expect from the spokesman of a Realtors group, Yun added, "The good news for the housing market is that price appreciation the last two months has started to moderate from the unhealthier rate of growth seen earlier this year." Wow, it is very rare you hear the terms "price appreciation" and "unhealthier" in the same sentence.
That unhealthy price appreciation the NAR discussed contributed to an increase in household net wealth during the second quarter of 2015. The Federal Reserve reported Friday the wealth of American household rose to an all-time high of $85.7 trillion as the increase in home values more than offset declines in the stock market. Net worth is calculated by taking the value of all assets and subtracting liabilities. In other words, if we sold every asset we as households own and paid off all the debt we would be left with nearly $86 trillion. Not too shabby.
After two weeks of the NFL season am I the only one who is bored silly by the constant use of just two plays in almost every drive: a running back off a tackle or a flair pass to a receiver out of the backfield? Both plays probably average a net two or three yards, but the over-cautious coaches in the league are playing it safe.

Belgian Grand Prix restarts F1's season this week on NBCSN
By Tony DiZinnoAug 21, 2017, 7:00 AM EDT
The summer break is over at long last for Formula 1, with this week's Belgian Grand Prix set to kick off a stretch of nine races over the next 14 weeks, and features three back-to-back runs.
The first of those races is the Belgian Grand Prix at the legendary Circuit de Spa-Francorhamps this weekend, with coverage on NBCSN, CNBC and the NBC Sports App.
NBCSN will feature live race (Sunday) and free practice two (Friday) coverage, with live qualifying coverage coming on CNBC (Saturday). The NBC Sports App will be the exclusive place to watch live for free practice one (Friday) and free practice three (Saturday), and streams all live sessions.
After three weeks off and the field's rested, Spa presents an interesting test and a bit of varied history for the field.
Sebastian Vettel's win at Hungary extended his points lead over Lewis Hamilton to 14 points, while Valtteri Bottas is a further 19 points back in third.
The Spa track should favor the Mercedes more than the Ferrari as more of a power circuit. Mercedes has won the last two races here with Nico Rosberg a year ago having kickstarted his championship season with a win here, and with Hamilton winning here in 2015.
Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull, 2014), Vettel (Red Bull, 2013) and Jenson Button (McLaren, 2012) make it five different Belgian Grand Prix winners in the last five years – none of which are Ferrari.
Ferrari's most recent win here was in 2009 with Kimi Raikkonen, which also remains Raikkonen's most recent Ferrari win – he hasn't won a Grand Prix overall since the 2013 Australian Grand Prix at Melbourne with Lotus.
Raikkonen leads active drivers with four Belgian wins (2004, 2005, 2007, 2009) while Hamilton and Vettel have two apiece, Ricciardo has the 2014 win and Felipe Massa has a 2008 win here (albeit in controversial circumstances).
Beyond the top three teams, this track could play well for the Sahara Force India team, which has occasionally overachieved at this circuit. Giancarlo Fisichella scored a pole and second place finish for the team here in 2009 and there have been other fourth place finishes scored over the years. A big opportunity could present itself for the consistent points scoring pair of Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon. Williams, another Mercedes-powered team, will also look to have some success.
Here's the schedule, with stream links and TV network if applicable:
Practice 1: Friday, August 25, 4 a.m.-5:30 a.m. ET (Streaming)
Practice 2: Friday, August 25, 8 a.m.-9:30 a.m. ET (NBCSN)
Practice 3: Saturday, August 26, 5 a.m.-6 a.m. ET (Streaming)
Qualifying: Saturday, August 26, 8 a.m.-9:30 a.m. ET (CNBC)
Qualifying (Replay): Saturday, August 26, 12:30 p.m.-2 p.m. ET (NBCSN)
Pre-Race: Sunday, August 27, 7 a.m.-8 a.m. ET (NBCSN)
Race: Sunday, August 27, 8 a.m.-10 a.m. ET (NBCSN)
Post-Race: Sunday, August 27, 10 a.m.-10:30 a.m. ET (NBCSN)
Race (Replay): Sunday, August 27, 7 p.m.-9 p.m. ET (NBCSN)
Race (Replay): Monday, August 28, 3 p.m.-5 p.m. ET (NBCSN)
Formula 2: Sunday, August 27, 6 a.m.-7 a.m. ET (NBCSN)
The next race is the Italian Grand Prix, on September 3, for the second race in this back-to-back run.

We've been delving into temptations coming from the world, the flesh, and the Devil. Last week we discussed demonic temptations in detail. Today, we'll examine temptations of the flesh and how to combat them.
As I have said before, the flesh can be the most relentless of the three sources of temptation. While the Devil may leave us alone for a time, and we can shut out the world to a certain extent, we can never get away from our own flesh. It remains with us every moment until the end of our life, but we can learn to resist it.
Gluttony, lust, and slothThe Catechism defines concupiscence as "the movement of the sensitive appetite contrary to the operation of the human reason… Concupiscence stems from the disobedience of the first sin. It unsettles man's moral faculties and, without being in itself an offense, inclines man to commit sins" (2515).
Sanguines are easily moved by what they experience through their exterior senses. Thus, immodest entertainment might lead them into sexual sin. An all-you-can-eat buffet might tempt them towards gluttony. They might start using vulgar and blasphemous language if they listen to the wrong kind of music.
Dante's Inferno, Canto 8 by William Blake (Wikimedia Commons).
Last week I wrote about the three sources of temptation. Now let's look at temptation by the Devil in more detail.
Two Scripture passages show us how the Devil tempts us. Genesis 3 tells how Adam and Eve gave in to temptation and sinned. Matthew 4 tells how Jesus resisted the Devil's temptation. The two stories contain striking similarities.
The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of lifeWhen the Devil tempted Eve, the first thing she noticed was that the forbidden fruit was "good for food" (Gen 3:6). Similarly, the Devil first tempted Jesus by telling Him to turn stones into bread (Mt 4:3). So we see that the Devil often begins by appealing to our natural appetites. In fact, he tempts us with the desires of the flesh.
Apparently, Eve was not completely swayed by this temptation, for she also noticed that the fruit was "a delight to the eyes." Catholic tradition equates this delight with greed–the desire to have something that is not rightly ours, or to have it in overabundance, or otherwise outside of God's will. Matthew's Gospel sets this as Jesus' third temptation. The Devil promised Jesus all the kingdoms of the world for the "small" price of worshiping him. It's easy to see how this corresponds to temptation by the world.
The authority of the Church, which was once accepted by the churched and respected by the secular, is in modern times no longer a means through which our belief system can be argued or upheld. This sad reality, while a cause for dismay, is also an opportunity for expansion of pedagogical and catechetical methods.
This is why methods of teaching and conversion that do not ultimately stem from a belief in the magisterium, or teaching authority, of the Church are limited in scope. For example we as Catholics can point to Aristotle's reason-based arguments for the existence of God, but we can not talk about God as Trinity without citing Christ's teachings and the theology developed by the Church over thousands of years. The Church guards and passes on the deposit of faith given by Christ.
To believe in the authority of the Church, you see, is simultaneously to believe in Him who formed it, namely Christ. We must then ask ourselves rhetorically: why would Christ form the Church without equipping it with the means (councils, the Papacy, tradition, scripture, etc.) to construct correct dogma? And so to follow church authority means to believe in all of its teachings on faith and morals. This does not entail a blind faith that accepts a series of teachings simply because "Father 'John Smith' said so." In praying each week in the Creed that we "believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church," we are instead embracing theology arrived at via reason and based upon the premises of faith.
Self Portrait with a Friend by Rafael.
In the middle of Lent, I received an email from a new reader I'll call Jill. Jill shared with me her years of darkness in her personal and spiritual life. My heart went out to her. I wanted to do something for her, more than just writing an encouraging answer. So I thought about it and prayed about it. Then I had an insight.
"I explore these questions [about God and suffering] a lot in my book. I will give you a brief version here. Rabbi Kushner, writing in When Bad Things Happen to Good People, said that we shouldn't ask why when we suffer. Instead, we should ask, What now? How am I to react?
"My question for your situation then was, How can your suffering become purposeful? Some people would counsel you to offer up your suffering. But if you are unable to complete even small projects because your darkness has sapped all your energy, offering it up may just be beyond your strength. What then?
My earliest and happiest memories are of going to visit my grandfather. It wasn't because he played games with me, gave me my favourite chocolate or even money to buy myself an ice cream on the way home, it was just because I loved him. He was such a lovable kindly man that it was more than enough just to be with him and feel myself enveloped by his love. This was before I even went to prep school. read on….
At his funeral in St. Peter's Square in 2005, there were prolonged chants from the multitude gathered for "Santo Subito" (Sainthood Now!). On April 27, 2014, the Catholic Church celebrated the canonization of the 264th pontiff Pope St. John Paul II (born Karol Józef Wojtyła) along with the 262nd Vicar of Christ Pope St. John XXIII (ne Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli) in St. Peter's Square in Vatican City.
Pope John Paul II was a remarkable man who wore many hats in his life. He was a Laborer, Thespian, Playwright, Patriot, Priest, Philologist, Philosopher, Pilgrim, Bishop, Theologian, Sportsman, Scholar, Statesman and Vicar of Christ. The cause for John Paul II's canonization however is not premised on doctrinal dissertations, academic accolades or even geopolitical accomplishments. It is about how John Paul II lived his life to reflect the Christian virtue which still touches the faithful today.
Sister Marie Simon Pierre, a nun from the order of Little Sisters of the Catholic Motherhood in Aix au Province, France, had suffered with Parkinson's Disease, like John Paul II, for four years. She intensely prayed along with her community for healing through the intercession of John Paul II only two months after John Paul II's death. Doctors determined that Sr. Simon Pierre's neurological symptoms had disappeared inexplicably. This was deemed John Paul II's first miracle in 2011.
In April 2011, Floribeth Mora, a 50 year old Costa Rican grandmother, was diagnosed with an inoperable brain aneurysm and was sent home to die. But on the day of John Paul II's beatification, Mora saw a photograph of John Paul II and the photograph spoke to her saying "Get up" and "Be not afraid". Remarkably, her aneurysm disappeared that same day. Neuro-surgeons in Rome could not medically explain the disappearance. This miracle satisfied the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in the Vatican.
The date of John Paul II's canonization also occurs on National Holocaust Rememberance Day in Israel and during the March of the Living where people gather in in Krakow, Wojtyła's home for 40 years, to march between the Nazi death camps of Auschwitz to Birkenau to remember the Holocaust. John Paul II had strong connections with the Jewish community in his childhood home off Wadowice, where ¼ of the town's 8,000 residents were eradicated for anti-Semitic aspirations of Nazi racial purity. These events strongly influenced John Paul II's weltanschauung, since during his pontificate, John Paul II made great strives to acknowledge the sin of anti-semitism, especially in the Holocaust, and to strengthen the Church's relations with the Jewish Community. In May 1998, Pope St. John Paul II gave a formal apology about Catholic shortcomings in the Holocaust in the proclamation "We Remember: A Reflection of the Shoah".
Then Cardinal Karol Wojtyła was elected Pontiff in October 1977 during the Year of Three Popes. While Pope John Paul II was the first non-Italian pope in 454 years and was from a nation behind the Iron Curtain, he was chosen because of his theology. John Paul II chose as his papal motto "Totus Tuus", which reflected his Reflected his personal consecration to Mary which was based on the spiritual approach of St. Louis de Montfort (1673-1716)—"Totus tuus ego sum, et omnia mea tua sunt" ("I am all yours, and all that I have is yours"). In Crossing the Threshold of Hope, he explained that the "Totus Tuus" motto expressed the understanding that he "[c]ould not exclude the Lord's Mother from my life without neglecting the will of God-Trinity". Polish born composer Henryk Gorecki (1933-2010) wrote the choral piece "TotusTuus" in honor of Pope John Paul II's 3rd visit to Poland in 1987.
The millions of Poles who flocked to their favorite son's first pilgrimage back to his homeland showed that the faithful were not alone in that officially atheistic state and served as a real retort to Stalin's taunt of "The Pope! How man divisions does he got?" Both Lech Walesa, the piously Catholic worker who lead the Solidarity movement (and eventually became Poland's President), and Vaclav Havel, the less spiritual leader of a free Czechoslovakia, credit the fall of the Iron Curtain to the message "Be not afraid" embodied in John Paul II's 1st visit to Poland.
Pope St . John Paul II was convinced that Our Lady of Fatima kept him alive during the ordeal where he lost 3/4ths of his blood. The Third Secret of our Lady of Fatima can be seen as predicting the assassination attempt on the Pope. The John Paul II's faith filled connection between his assassination attempt and the visions of Fatima that a bullet from his wounds now tops the golden finery of the Our Lady of Fatima processional statue.
One of the hallmarks of Pope St. John Paul II's reign was being a Pilgrim as Vicar of Christ to proclaim Jesus as the Redeemer of Humanity to all the Earth. Frankly, he came pretty close to covering it all. It is speculated that the curia spent about a fourth of their time planning for and executing his 104 foreign trips to 125 countries which totaled 725,000 miles.
While Pope Benedict XVI did not formally recognize John Paul II as a martyr in his beatification mass, many feel that the manner in which John Paul II lived with his debilitating disease and how he died with dignity in the Vatican was exemplary. His final words were uttered in Polish "Allow me to depart to the house of the Father". John Paul II had run the good race and was not afraid to go home to the Father by extending his life through extraordinary medical procedures for terminal illness.
In addition, Pope St. John Paul II left a large body of theology during his long pontificate, which will have a long lasting influence upon the Church. [***] Many feel that Pope St. John Paul II will be best remembered for his "Theology of the Body", which was based on 129 lectures from his Wednesday audiences, which focused on Christian marriage, celibacy and virginity, contraception and the sacrament of marriage.
In Washington, DC, the new seminary has dedicated to the now Pope St. John Paul II. The John Paul II Cultural Center in Washington DC has been converted into a Church and Shrine and will be rechristened the "St. John Paul II Shrine".
Pope St. John Paul II's example of the new evangelization, his example of forgiveness and fearlessness for standing up for the faith certainly gives the model to "Be Not Afraid" in our own paths toward being part of the Community of Saints.

Plastic bags may be making a comeback during coronavirus outbreak
By Josh Rosenthal
Plastic bags may be making a comeback during pandemic
Reusable grocery bags are a staple in many households and have been for years -- but because of the coronavirus, plastic bags may be making a comeback, at least temporarily.
BETHESDA, Md. (FOX 5 DC) - Reusable grocery bags are a staple in many households and have been for years -- but because of the coronavirus, plastic bags may be making a comeback, at least temporarily.
"I don't really use disposable," Stephen Taylor said Wednesday, echoing the concerns of many other shoppers. "You know, sterile purposes, trying to keep it clean. You don't want to keep bags in your house."
CORONAVIRUS BY THE NUMBERS: Case totals for the District, Maryland and Virginia
Officials in many cities and states across the country share Taylor's concern. In places like Illinois and Massachusetts, residents have been asked to stop using reusable bags altogether in an effort to stop the spread of the virus.
Locally, D.C. officials said they're not currently enforcing their bag tax. And in Montgomery County, a bill that would've temporarily rescinded their bag tax was talked about before being taken off the table Wednesday night.
Experts said the precautions may be a good idea.
Dr. Rodrigo Hasbun, an infectious disease specialist at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth in Houston, explained that while we don't know for sure, it is possible that the coronavirus could spread through the use of reusable bags.
"I think it's reasonable to do a temporary ban," he said. "Right now there's no studies linking reusable bags to coronavirus cases, but again that could change in the future once we have more studies."
Jade Flinn, a nurse educator in the biocontainment unit at Johns Hopkins Hospital, said she agreed.
"Using the single-use bags for right now would be the best option because we don't have a good way of disinfecting reusable bags in a thorough and systematic way."
Still, if shoppers choose to continue reusing bags instead, there are some precautions they can take. Montgomery County Health Officer Dr. Travis Gayles recommended "a number of strategies for using reusable bags including washing them between use, customers packing their own reusable bags at check out and frequently cleaning surfaces in bagging areas."

Changing schools is tough. From being stared down in the hallways to having strange classes, being "that new kid" is always a challenge. On a personal note, I transferred from a school in Georgia to a school in Alabama. I was called all sorts of mean names just during the first week of starting my new school. On top of that, I was placed in quite the assortment of classes, ranging from freshmen to senior classes. I left all of my best friends since preschool back in Georgia to come to a new home where I was alone. All new students go through similar tribulations. These issues are inevitable. However, there is one major problem that can be fixed.
A percentage of the taxes we pay go to the state. These taxes cover mainly healthcare and education. On average, forty percent of the state's dollars go to education; furthermore, fourteen percent go to higher education. Therefore, a family who has lived in a particular state and has paid their taxes should undoubtedly get a cut on the in-state university's tuition. After all, it is their money that has funded the university.
But what if someone moves to a different state his/her senior year and plans to attend college in his/her new state? The family has only paid one year of that state's taxes. That is certainly not enough to cover a decent chunk of college tuition. And what if it is the other way around? What about the family that moved states during high school but can no longer get in-state tuition to the college they wish to attend? Does this seem fair to you?

Catch-a-Pig brings squeals and thrills to fairgrounds
Andy Bockelman
abockelman@CraigDailyPress.com
Kyla Gannon, 8, happily hauls her new pig to the handlers during the Catch-a-Pig contest Friday night. Dozens of kids were involved in the annual scramble to claim their own pig.
Sitting on the fence of the Moffat County Fairgrounds arena Friday night, Raegan McMillen, 9, Kayden Grinolds, 9, and Alana McIntyre, 10, were abuzz with a timely topic: good names for a pet pig.
A classic like Spot was in consideration, as was Rosie, while fantasy-inspired monikers like Pinkie Pie and Harry from "My Little Pony" and "Harry Potter," respectively, were also in the running.
Still, the most important thing that night was to actually get ahold of their porcine prey in the annual Catch-a-Pig contest, held between rounds of the Moffat County Fair's Ridin' & Riggin' Days Rodeo. Each year, kids across Moffat County gather at the fairgrounds arena for their chance to catch a slippery, slimy, muddy pig that — if they're lucky enough to pin down — they get to keep and take home.
This year's Catch-a-Pig contest saw dozens of children running after kids donated to the Moffat County Fair by JB Chapman.
Karl Huntsman administers the greasy fun, and he has a front seat view of how the pigs make kids squeal for a change. The audience also loves the extravaganza.
"It's all about the kids," he said. "(People) like to see their grandkids and their kids get out there and have a good time."
This year's event has some changes.
Last year, several participants who were over the age of 18 snuck into the arena, catching pigs and causing a ruckus for those who were trying to legitimately participate.
As a result, the Moffat County Fair Board opted to change the age requirements. This year, only children 14 and younger will be able to enter the contest, said board member Mardi Anson.
A total of 50 pigs were up for grabs, which is an increase of 10 more pigs than last year, and animals weigh between 50 to 70 pounds.
The pigs are put in pens and greased up with vegetable oil. The kids are lined up in the arena and told to have their backs facing the pigpens.
State Farm and Justin Stokes covered costs for the earliest entrants, with many kids getting their new t-shirts from the insurance company covered with slop, though many dove right onto the oinkers and wrestled them into submission, picking up a bag of feed for their new companion.
With the promise of a new animal they can keep to raise for next year's fair, the wily beasts themselves are only part of the challenge, as many kids come ready to do whatever it takes to win in the arena.
"It gets really competitive," McMillen said. "I don't try to think, I just try to elbow everyone out of the way."

Bitcoin surges past $20,000 for the first time ever, extending year-to-date return to 185% | Currency News | Financial and Business News
Mykola Tys/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images
Bitcoin shot past $20,000 for the first time on Wednesday.
"Some of the biggest investors in the world have been singing Bitcoin's praises in recent weeks," said an author of a bestselling book on cryptocurrencies. "This suggests they already own Bitcoin and are hoping to encourage more people to buy and boost the price upwards."
Bitcoin surged more than 5% to trade around $20,550 as of 09:30 a.m. ET, breaking its previous record of $19,857 set in late November.
"We will be visiting the $20,000-$22,000 level at least half a dozen times before we break through to the $30,000 range later in 2021," a CEO at a cryptocurrency firm said.
Bitcoin surged past $20,000 for the first time ever, breaking its latest record set last month.
The token jumped 5% to around $20,550 as of 09:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday, bringing its year-to-date gain to 185%. Bitcoin has notched steady gains this year as more investors warm to its potential as an inflationary hedge.
But according to Glen Goodman, author of bestselling book "The Crypto Trader," history has a warning for people buying bitcoin at its new all-time-high.
Some of the biggest bitcoin investors who have recently been singing its praises suggest they already own the token and are hoping to encourage more people to buy and boost its price, said the author, who is a contributing expert on cryptocurrency at the London School of Economics. This suggests Wall Street "whales" do this in order to sell their coins to smaller investors at higher prices.
"While I'm optimistic about the long-term prospects for Bitcoin, four years ago we had a very similar situation with bitcoin breaking new ground, but just two weeks later its price plummeted by more than a third," he said. While noting that history doesn't always repeat itself, he said, "the lesson is to be on your guard."

Bitcoin breaking beyond the $20,000 barrier proves three theories supporting its role as an alternative to existing systems of paper money, according to Sergey Nazarov, co-founder at Chainlink.
The first theory highlights the continued rise of inflation, which is why PayPal recently chose to add bitcoin to its functionality. Second is the role of increased institutional adoption of crypto solutions. Third, the ecosystem of decentralized finance provides greater security for financial products that an investor relies on to combat inflation, the crypto expert said.
Bitcoin's record setting run may have even further to go.
"We will be visiting the $20,000-$22,000 level at least half a dozen times before we break through to the $30,000 range later in 2021," said Alex Mashinsky, CEO at Celsius Network.
Mashinsky believes bitcoin may also retest the $14,000 to $16,000 levels in a period with low volume or with bad news hitting the street. "That will probably be the last time most of us will have a chance to buy bitcoin below $20,000 levels ever again," he said.

US now nation with most coronavirus cases
The US now has more confirmed cases of coronavirus than any other country with at least 82,404 positive tests, APA reports.
According to the latest figures collated by Johns Hopkins University, the US overtook China (81,782 cases) and Italy (80,589).
The grim milestone came as President Donald Trump predicted the nation would get back to work "pretty quickly", after 3.3 million layoffs.
More than 1,100 people with Covid-19 have died in the US.
After first appearing in Wuhan, China, in December, the virus, officially known as COVID-19, has spread to at least 198 countries and regions, according to data compiled by U.S.-based Johns Hopkins University.
The data shows more than 525,000 cases have been reported worldwide, with the death toll over 23,700 and around 123,000 recoveries.
Italy, China, Iran, and Spain continue to be the most affected countries.
Despite the rising number of cases, a vast majority of those infected with the virus suffer mild symptoms and recover.

I've got to find my inner Energizer bunny soon. That's because over the weekend I read "Move a Little, Lose a Lot," a book by James A. Levine, M.D. which says, in so many words, "Sitting is the new smoking." I wrote about this topic in my last blog based on a magazine article that quoted Levine. It interested me enough to track down the original source. In his book, Levine points out all the features of modern workplaces and homes that cause us to live more sedentary lives. He also makes recommendations for ways to add more movement to our days.
I sat during most of the last three weeks. Sitting paid off in one respect. I completed the first draft of my novel and sent 349 pages to the woman who will help me with the second draft (by pointing out the flaws in the first one, but thankfully not doing this all at once).
Levine's work focuses on "the calories you burn while living your life," as opposed to those you burn in a physical workout. He says if you exercise for the sake of fitness and you follow this up with long periods of sitting, you've not helped your health, because when you sit your system shuts down. Your body becomes like a bear's in the winter.
The obvious culprits that keep us from burning calories while going about the business of living include cars, computers, televisions and video games. But these aren't all. Jobs that keep us seated for long periods, eating at our desks, electric alarm clocks, remote controls, polyester and other non-iron fabrics, electric toothbrushes, espresso machines, key finders, home grocery delivery and electric screw drivers also keep us from burning calories by limiting our movements. We burn fewer calories daily than did our ancestors even fifty years ago and they burned fewer than their forebears.
What can we do to carry out Levine's maxim of "better to live on your feet than die on your seat"? I don't know anyone who wants to go back to ironing sheets like women did in our grandmother's day or give up their computers. Still, there are things we can do. Standing up often is one of these. We burn three times as many calories getting up from a seated position than we do while we're in the chair. Chewing gum burns a few more calories than standing up. Other small calorie burners include sweeping the floor, folding laundry, walking the dog, watering the garden and pulling weeds.
Levine says walking is the number one way to overcome the negative effects of sitting, walking as a normal routine in your daily life. A good way to begin is to cover a mile here, a mile there, around your yard, to the store, to a bus stop. Walk while you're on the phone, leave your cubicle to talk to a colleague at work or walk across the street to talk to a neighbor. His research shows that small changes eventually lead to big results.
To avoid sitting disease, I've started walking away from my computer more often, weeding and moving around the house more. Today I'm testing out a new routine: spend twenty minutes cleaning and organizing drawers, bookcases, closets, shelves. The possibilities for getting exercise in a clutter house are endless.

Examine the Score: Et unam sanctam
This final section of the Credo is built over the verse of the responsory O sanctissime presul, a text whose communal prayer to St. Donatian for intercession Obrecht interlaces into the Creed's final communal declaration of belief in salvation. The singers thus stand in for the community, bringing the Fore-Mass to a conclusion by expressing hope for resurrection at the Last Judgment (for both De Moor and themselves) and entreating Donatian to intervene on their behalf.
Text-music connections are especially deft in this segment of the Creed. At the outset the unity of the Church is suggested by the unison intersection of soprano and alto on the word "unam," In an almost madrigalian gesture. Obrecht conveys the idea of awaiting the final resurrection of the dead on Judgment Day at the words "resurrectionem mortuorum" by collapsing the range to an open low octave on G. followed by a rapid scalar ascent in the soprano voice. And the leisurely plagal cadence that closes the Credo, which lacks the expected strong cadential expansion to the final G sonority, seems designed to capture the idea of a soul waiting and hoping for salvation at the Last Judgement.
Obrecht's "Et unam sanctam" is sung by Cappella Pratensis from the original notation as preserved in the choirbook Jena, Universitatsbibliothek, Ms 32.

Q: Derivative of Lagrangian does not depend on x? Consider the following problem:
$$
\min \mathbf{c}^T\mathbf{x}, \mathbf{x} \in \mathbf{R}^N\\
\mathbf{A}\mathbf{x}=\mathbf{b}
$$
where $\mathbf{A}\in\mathbf{R}^{D \times N}, \mathbf{b}\in\mathbf{R}^D$.
I am trying to find the Lagrangian and then the dual. I wrote down:
$$
L(\mathbf{x},\mathbf{\lambda},\mathbf{\nu})=\mathbf{c}^T\mathbf{x} + \sum \lambda_i(\mathbf{a}_i^T\mathbf{x}-b_i)
$$
where $\mathbf{a}_i$ are the rows of the matrix $\mathbf{A}$. Then the derivative would be:
$$
\mathbf{c}+\sum\lambda_i\mathbf{a}_i
$$
But this does not depend on $\mathbf{x}$. I am almost sure I made a mistake somewhere in the derivative. How can I find the dual if I cannot replace it in the Lagrangian?
