Jul 17, 2009 (CIDRAP News) – Federal health officials are proposing to list the virus that causes SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) as a select agent, which means that dozens of laboratories possessing it will have to register with the government and adopt various security measures.Agents are added to the federal list of “select agents and toxins” if the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regards them as potentially posing a severe threat to public health and safety.The proposal regarding the SARS-associated coronavirus was announced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in a Jul 13 Federal Register notice. The agency said the designation is needed because the virus is potentially fatal and easily spread, there is no vaccine or effective treatment for it, and it can persist in the environment.The World Health Organization counted 8,098 cases and 774 deaths in the SARS epidemic of 2003. The virus spreads mainly by respiratory droplets, but people also can become infected by touching contaminated surfaces, the CDC notice says.CDC records show that 138 entities, most of them commercial, currently possess the SARS virus, and 73 of them are already registered with the Select Agent Program of either HHS or the US Department of Agriculture, the notice says. That means 65 labs or facilities will need to register if the virus is listed as a select agent.Besides registering with the program, those groups will have to provide adequate biosafety and physical security measures, screen personnel with access to the virus, and meet record-keeping requirements, the CDC says.The average cost for a facility to register with the CDC and comply with the regulations is estimated to range from $15,300 to $170,000, the notice says. Under the proposal, facilities would have 180 days to comply with the regulations, once the final rule is published.The CDC is inviting the public to comment on the proposal by Sep 11, but it says comments received after that may still be considered. Comments on the proposal should be marked “SARS-CoV” and e-mailed to SAPcomments@cdc.gov (link sends e-mail), the agency said.
Mental illness is a worldwide phenomenon. Shooting sprees like America’s rarely, if ever, happen in other developed countries. Shouldn’t we ask why not? According to the Gun Violence Archive, excluding suicides, 13,286 people were killed in America by firearms in 2015 and 26,819 were injured. In any other category but firearms, these numbers would be identified for what they are: an epidemic. Any other public health issue that took so many lives would be carefully studied by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) so that answers could be found and action taken to fix the problem. Categories: Letters to the Editor, Opinion The CDC analyzes things that cause public harm. Why can’t we study the issue of gun assaults on innocent human beings? People who are shot suffer at least as much as those who are afflicted by the flu or heart disease or any one of many other ailments.But our representatives, whose job is partly about public health and safety, actually defunded CDC gun research back in 1996 because of shakedown threats from the NRA. Only fools or cowards or criminals would prohibit research on such a grave and pervasive problem. Many of our trembling legislators are so fearful of losing their jobs they still bow to NRA pressure to nurture doubt and forbid funding to analyze the plentiful data and discover a dispassionate fix for the problem.Instead, they dutifully parrot old NRA propaganda slogans such as “There are already too many guns out there so we can’t do anything about them,” or “Only the crooks will have guns.” It’s long past time to renounce such defeatist, barroom excuses for doing nothing and demand objective, research-based answers about what role our current gun laws play in public safety.Now that our once-safe schools and public places have become potential killing fields, it’s time we made America great again. Let’s find out exactly why the shooting of innocents is so possible and so frequent in our land.DAVID LAMBERTNiskayunaMore from The Daily Gazette:Niskayuna girls’ cross country wins over BethlehemEDITORIAL: Beware of voter intimidationPuccioni’s two goals help Niskayuna boys’ soccer top Shaker, remain perfectEDITORIAL: Urgent: Today is the last day to complete the censusFoss: Should main downtown branch of the Schenectady County Public Library reopen?
Read also: Indonesia to get new business license regime with omnibus billThe economy grew 5.02 percent last year, lower than 5.17 percent in 2018, as investment and exports softened. Investment slowed to 4.06 percent year-on-year (yoy) in last year’s fourth quarter versus 6.01 percent in the same period in 2018.Meanwhile, exports shrank 0.39 percent during the period, an improvement from a contraction of 4.59 percent in 2018’s fourth quarter, Statistics Indonesia data showed.Jokowi expressed optimism that Indonesia could achieve this year’s growth target of 5.3 percent set in the state budget despite unfavorable global economic conditions due to persisting uncertainty and the spread of COVID-19. President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has said investment is the key to accelerating economic growth amid a slowing global economy. As the global economy is expected to continue growing at snail’s pace this year, Jokowi said investment would be the only thing that could improve the country’s economic growth.“There’s no way we can boost exports because every market is declining. So, the only way to boost economic growth is through investment, big, medium or small,” he told the press in Jakarta on Thursday, adding that investment would also create jobs. “The target is still realistic as long as the Investment Coordinating Board [BKPM] can reach the investment target we’ve set,” he said.The BKPM recorded investment realization of Rp 809.6 trillion (US$59.1 billion) last year. Of the amount, Rp 423 trillion came from realized foreign direct investment, while the rest came from domestic direct investment. It expected to record realized investment of Rp 886 trillion this year.Read also: Government to liberalize investment in omnibus bill on job creationTo help realize this target, Jokowi instructed regional leaders and one-stop integrated services (PTSP) to cater to investors’ needs regardless of their size to lure more projects to Indonesia.The investment, big or small, could increase capital flow to the country and improve spending, which account for more than half of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP), as more jobs would be created from those investments, he said.

The United Arab Emirates is planning to make its first official visit to Israel on Sept. 22 to build up the countries’ agreement to normalize relations, a source familiar with the provisional itinerary said on Monday.Israeli officials declined to comment and UAE officials did not respond to calls seeking comment.The two countries announced on Aug. 13 they would normalize diplomatic relations in a US-brokered deal that was hailed as a breakthrough by Washington and Israel but spurned by the Palestinians. Topics : The UAE delegation’s trip to Israel, which has yet to be finalized, would come in reciprocation of a groundbreaking trip to Abu Dhabi last week by senior Israeli and US envoys, the source told Reuters.The source said the UAE was expected to finalize the trip after a date is announced for a ceremony, likely in Washington, where the countries’ leaders will sign their normalization accord. That ceremony is likely to take place in mid-September, the source added.The source declined to be identified by name or nationality due to the sensitivity of the evolving contacts.The trip would be the first publicly acknowledged visit to Israel by an official delegation from the UAE.Israel exchanged embassies with neighbors Egypt and Jordan under peace deals decades ago. But until the UAE accord, all other Arab states had demanded Israel first cede more land to the Palestinians.An Israeli minister said on Monday annual trade between Israel and the UAE is expected to reach $4 billion. 
More than 2.6 million acres have been burned across the whole state so far, a Cal Fire spokesman said on Thursday evening.Half a million people have been evacuated in neighboring Oregon, where the government said firefighters were “prioritizing life (and) safety as they battle a record 900,000 acres of wildfires.”Governor Kate Brown said that the amount of land incinerated by fires in just the last 72 hours was twice the state’s annual average, and that at least five towns had been “substantially destroyed.””We have never seen this amount of uncontained fire across our state,” she told a press conference. Topics : Firefighters were battling unprecedented wildfires up and down the US West Coast on Friday that killed 15 people and forced more than half a million others to flee their homes, with officials warning of more deaths to come in the days ahead. The true scale of destruction was impossible to count across wide stretches of California, Oregon and Washington cut off from the world by an apocalyptic wall of flames, fueled by record heatwaves and intense, dry winds. The August Complex Fire became the biggest recorded blaze in Californian history on Thursday, after multiple fires in the state’s northwest combined under high temperatures and winds to rip through 746,000 acres of dry vegetation.
Huge wildfires are becoming more common, with the World Meteorological Organization saying the five years to 2019 was “unprecedented” for fires, especially in Europe and North America. Climate change amplifies droughts which dry out regions, creating ideal conditions for wildfires to spread out-of-control and inflict unprecedented material and environmental damage. Local Oregon officials confirmed two deaths in the Santiam Canyon region south of Portland, and a third in the Ashland area, near the California border.Police went door to door to make sure that residents were evacuating the city of Molalla, marking their driveways with spray paint to show they had left.”It’s one thing to leave your house, it’s another thing being told that you have to leave,” said Denise Pentz, a resident of the town for 11 years, who was loading her family belongings into a camping trailer.Among those killed in the past day was a one-year-old boy who perished while his parents suffered severe burns as they attempted to flee an inferno 130 miles east of Seattle.”This child’s family and community will never be the same,” said Washington governor Jay Inslee, in a statement on his state’s first fire death of 2020.Police said the death toll had jumped to 10 in northern California’s Butte County on Thursday. “We have to report an additional seven deceased individuals were located by our deputies and detectives today,” Butte County Sheriff Captain Derek Bell said.One unidentified person was killed in far northern California, near the remote rural community of Happy Camp, a Cal Fire spokeswoman told AFP.Tina Rose, 29, fled her home in central California after witnessing a nearby mountain “glowing red” from looming wildfires.”It is something we never want to experience again,” she told AFP, speaking from her brother-in-law’s crowded home near Fresno.In the San Francisco area, Wednesday’s deep orange sky caused by wildfire smoke gave way to a wintry gray, but cars were still forced to drive with lights on in the gloom.Polluted air meant schools and daycare centers were no longer letting children play outside, while seniors were encouraged to stay inside.But the strong, dry winds of the past days eased off across much of the state, with severe weather warnings lifted for most of California. Humidity is expected to rise as temperatures cool through to next week, providing some relief, Cal Fire said.Much of the smoke has blown down from the north, where the Bear Fire exploded at an unprecedented speed this week, combining with older blazes to threaten the town of Oroville.Evacuation warnings were expanded to parts of the town of Paradise, the site of California’s deadliest modern fire, which killed 86 people less than two years ago.California has seen more than 3.1 million acres burn this year — an annual record, with nearly four months of fire season still to come.Governor Gavin Newsom blamed the ferocity of this year’s fires on climate change.”We must do more,” he tweeted. “We need action at EVERY level. CA cannot do this alone. Climate change is REAL.”
In July this year, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) designated the planned project area as one of “promising four sea areas for which preparations for organizing the council and other actions will start“ under the Act on Promoting the Utilization of Sea Areas for the Development of Marine Renewable Energy Power Generation Facilities. Going forward, it is anticipated that a council will be established and that the government will conduct a survey of wind and geological conditions toward designation as a project target area. Source: JRE JRE will continue to lead the project development. Tohoku Electric Power and ENEOS Corporation have agreed to join Japan Renewable Energy Corporation (JRE) in the development of the Happo Noshiro offshore wind project. The Happo Noshiro offshore wind project will comprise up to 22 wind turbines with an individual capacity of between 8 MW and 10 MW.
The commissioning of the wind farm is scheduled for after 2024. The project aims to construct and operate offshore wind farms with a maximum output capacity of 155 MW off Noshiro City and Happo town, Akita Prefecture. JRE is currently conducting a range of studies, including environmental impact assessments, while holding discussions with the local community and other stakeholders. ENEOS Corporation is Japan’s leading oil company. Tohoku Electric Power is an electric utility servicing 7.6 million individual and corporate customers in six prefectures in the Tōhoku region plus Niigata Prefecture.
John Paul II died in 2005, aged 84, and was beatified six years laterJohn Paul II could be declared a saint this year after a Vatican committee approved a second miracle attributed to the Polish pope’s intercession.The Congregation for the Causes of Saints ruled an “inexplicable recovery” on 1 May 2011 was due to the late Pope’s intercession, Ansa reported.Earlier that same day he had been beatified after a first miracle was attributed to his intervention.Pope Francis must now give his approval before a canonisation date is set.Canonisation is the final step in the official process that declares a deceased person to be a saint.Speedy processAt a plenary meeting of the Congregation on Tuesday, cardinals and bishops mooted a canonisation ceremony taking place in December, sources told Ansa.One possible date would be 8 December, on which Catholics celebrate the feast of the Immaculate Conception, which this year falls on a Sunday.John Paul II could be canonised at the same time as John XXIII, Vatican sources suggested. Venerated by Catholics as “the good pope”, John XXIII was elected in 1958 and convened the Second Vatican Council in 1962, but died the following year before it was finished.Canonisation requires the attribution of one further miracle to the intercession of the candidate after they have been beatified.The Vatican has not revealed details about the second miracle in John Paul II’s case. It was reportedly deemed an “inexplicable recovery” by a panel of doctors before being approved last month by a board of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints’ theologians.John Paul II died in 2005 aged 84 and was beatified by his successor Benedict XVI in May 2011. Among a crowd hundreds of thousands strong on St Peter’s Square was French nun Marie Simon-Pierre, who says she was cured of Parkinson’s Disease after praying for the intervention of the late pope little more than a month after he died.Some questioned the Church’s speed in beatifying John Paul II just six years after his death.Although widely regarded as one of the great popes of modern times, his 26-year pontificate was tarnished by his handling of the clerical sex abuse scandal that has rocked the global Church.Critics say other of the Church’s deep-seated problems – such as its dysfunctional management and financial scandals at the Vatican bank – stem from shortcomings of his pontificate.John Paul II reformed the sainthood process in 1983, making it faster, simpler, and cheaper. The office of “Devil’s advocate” – an official whose job was to try to knock down the case for sainthood – was eliminated, and the required number of miracles was dropped. The idea was to lift up contemporary role models of holiness in order to convince a jaded secular world that sanctity is alive in the here and now, says veteran Vatican analyst John Allen.The result was that John Paul II beatified and canonised more people than all previous popes combined.BBC News Share Share Tweet 94 Views no discussions

Actor Menggie Cobarrubias also died due to COVID-19 symptoms but has yet to be known if he is positive, while former University of Santo Tomas head coach Januario “Aric” del Rosario also showed symptoms of virus before dying due to cardiac arrest. Duque added that the “artificial rise” of confirmed COVID-19 cases continues as it climbed to 707 on Thursday. There were also two recovered patients bringing the total count to 28. “Confirmed cases are bound to increase as the government expands its testing efforts,” Duque said. “Also there are now five government laboratories which can test COVID-19 samples.” To prevent the spread of the virus, authorities are urging people to practice regular hand washing, cover their mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, and avoid close contact with those who exhibit virus symptoms./PN Worldwide, COVID-19 has killed more than 21,300 people, mostly in Italy, although the outbreak began in Wuhan, China in December last year. Over 472,000 people have been infected, according to the Johns Hopkins University’s COVID-19 global tracker. Gatchalian’s sister, TV host actress Ruby Rodriguez, confirmed the news on Thursday morning. The fallen doctor, the ninth frontliner to succumb to the virus, also serves as assistant director at the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM). DOH Secretary Francisco Duque III announced at a virtual press briefing on Thursday afternoon they have recorded seven more COVID-19 casualties, bringing the total count to 45. Health Secretary Francisco Duque III MANILA – The casualty count of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the country continues to pile up as the number of confirmed cases also keeps on increasing, the Department of Health (DOH) said.
