Just a few years ago, the NFL trade deadline was, well, dead. In the week leading up to the 2012 deadline, just one player changed teams, according to Spotrac. (I'm sure you remember the Lions trading a fifth-round pick to Jacksonville for receiver Mike Thomas.) In 2013, there was once again a single player dealt in the week leading up to the deadline (the legendary Eagles deal sending Isaac Sopoaga to the Patriots to move up 28 spots in the fifth round). In 2014, there was not one, not two, but three trades in the week leading up to the draft, headlined by the Bucs giving up on safety Mark Barron. Order was restored in 2015 when one trade (Vernon Davis to Denver) was made in the three weeks leading up to the deadline.
Flash forward to Halloween 2017, and it may as well have been a different sport. The lead-up to last year's deadline saw one of the league's highest-paid players (defensive tackle Marcel Dareus), a top left tackle (Duane Brown), and Tom Brady's heir apparent (Jimmy Garoppolo) shipped away in the days leading up to the deadline, and on the actual deadline day the Panthers shipped out their no. 1 wide receiver (Kelvin Benjamin), the eventual Super Bowl champions acquired a new starting running back (Jay Ajayi), and the Cleveland Browns' front office either screwed up or purposely sabotaged a trade sending a second- and third-rounder to Cincinnati for a backup quarterback (A.J. McCarron).
What changed is that increasing NFL revenue has swelled the salary cap (the cap this year is $177 million, 50 percent higher than it was a decade ago), and teams once constrained by their budgets have no problem fitting large salaries onto their roster. Contenders are more willing to part with draft picks to make Super Bowl runs, cellar dwellers are more eager than ever to sell off players and rebuild than ever before, and the middle ground those teams find is the rookie-deal rental.
The 2017 trade deadline was the busiest in league history, but there are rumblings that this year will be even splashier. Almost a full week before the deadline, we've already seen the Raiders trade former Alabama superstar Amari Cooper to Dallas for a first-round pick, the Jaguars acquire Carlos Hyde from Cleveland to fill in for Leonard Fournette, and the Giants send former first-round cornerback Eli Apple to New Orleans. With plenty of more trades coming in the next few days, here's a primer on the players most and least likely to be dealt ahead of 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday. The trade deadline has never been more alive.
Guys on the Block
Patrick Peterson, Cornerback, Arizona Cardinals
The All-Pro has been with the Cardinals since 2011, but now he wants to fly from the nest. (After Thursday night's evisceration at the hands of the Broncos put Arizona in the driver's seat for the first overall pick, it's hard to blame him. Perhaps we should relegate both squads to the FBS.) Peterson's cousin, former Steelers cornerback and current CBS analyst Bryant McFadden, has some … well-sourced information on where he might want to go.
#Cardinals All-Pro CB @P2 ideal trade destination is the #Saints. Per source Patrick Peterson. #Whodat
— Bryant McFadden (@BMac_SportsTalk) October 22, 2018
The Saints may be out of the running after trading a fourth-rounder to the Giants for Apple, but McFadden heard from "source Patrick Peterson" that other teams are interested.
#Saints #Eagles #Pats are all showing interest in trading for @P2. Per source Patrick Peterson. #WhoDatNation #FlyEaglesFly #PatsNation
— Bryant McFadden (@BMac_SportsTalk) October 22, 2018
(First of all, respect to Patrick Peterson for just asking his Twitter-verified CBS analyst cousin to tweet his trade demands one year to the day after another Arizona sports star tweeted a trade request.)
Peterson is one of the best trade assets a Super Bowl contender could acquire. He is 28, a former All-Pro, has started every game of his career since entering the league, and is under contract through 2020 at a relatively reasonable $11.5 million average salary the next two years. His opposing passer rating when targeted this year is under 40, roughly equal to an incompletion.
Peterson is so valuable that the Cardinals don't want to let him go. On October 14, Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks called the idea of trading Peterson "ludicrous." A few days later, Cardinals team president Michael Bidwill said a Peterson trade was "not happening." Even after last week's prime-time embarrassment, Wilks reiterated on Monday that "we're not trading Patrick."
It makes sense for the team to want to keep him, but it also means a Super Bowl contender might be willing to part with a lot of draft capital to secure a player under a reasonable contract through the remainder of his prime. If Arizona is offered a first-rounder, Peterson might be playoff bound.
Possible Destination: Pittsburgh Steelers.

— Antonio Brown (@AB84) October 22, 2018
"P2" is Peterson's twitter handle.
(Update: After Peterson met with Cardinals present Michael Bidwell on Tuesday, a trade appears to be unlikely.)
Demaryius Thomas, Wide Receiver, Denver Broncos
The Broncos' demolition of the Cardinals may not be enough to convince GM John Elway to keep this team together. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Sunday that the Broncos were willing to trade Thomas, a 2010 first-round pick who has made four Pro Bowls and has led the team in receiving yards each of the last six seasons. He has a $17.5 million cap hit in 2019, but the Broncos can release him to save $14 million and eat just $3.5 million in dead cap this offseason, according to Spotrac.
"My time here is coming up," Thomas said on Monday in response to the trade rumors.

— Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensBSN) October 22, 2018
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Broncos are keen on keeping 31-year-old receiver Emmanuel Sanders, who leads the team in receiving this season, and the team's second-round rookie receiver out of SMU, Courtland Sutton, but Thomas, 30, is seen as expendable.
Possible Destination: Miami Dolphins. Miami head coach and former Denver offensive coordinator Adam Gase just lost Albert Wilson and possibly Kenny Stills to injury and is feuding with receiver DeVante Parker's agent.
Chris Harris Jr., Cornerback, Denver Broncos
Harris, one of the best slot cornerbacks in the league, is also up for grabs in the Broncos' garage sale. He's a year older than Peterson, plays on the inside, and is under contract for one less season, so he may be the more affordable high-quality cornerback on the market. If a team wants to shore up its coverage in the middle of the field, Harris is a great choice. Of the 26 cornerbacks who have spent more than half of their snaps in the slot, Harris is tied for the fewest receiving yards allowed per snap and the fourth-lowest opposing passer rating when targeted, according to Pro Football Focus. As his Twitter profile and cover photo illustrate, he is also playoff tested.
Possible Destination: The Pats' outside cornerback depth was exposed in the Super Bowl, but adding Harris to handle the middle of the field this year could turn last year's weakness into this year's strength. New England is rumored to be in the mix for Peterson, but paying a lesser price for Harris feels more up New England's alley.
LeSean McCoy, Running Back, Buffalo Bills
McCoy is the best player on an offense that has been the least efficient offense ever tracked by Football Outsiders through seven games.
Congratulations Buffalo Bills, who at -53.4% now have the worst offensive DVOA ever tracked through 7 games, and by a good margin. 1992 Seahawks second at -45.5%, then 2013 Jags, 2010 Panthers, and 2004 Dolphins.
— Aaron Schatz (@FO_ASchatz) October 22, 2018
McCoy, who is 30 years old and is signed through next season, doesn't have a place in Buffalo's future, and as one of the more expensive backs in the league doesn't really have a place in most teams' present. He suffered a concussion and an ankle injury on Sunday, which would seemingly deflate whatever effort teams would have made to clear the cap space for him. He is also a defendant in a civil lawsuit in which his former fiancée says McCoy physically abused his son and, in a separate incident, is liable for assault, battery, and emotional distress after she was beaten with a handgun in a home invasion after McCoy altered the alarm system without giving her access.
Possible Destination: The Eagles reportedly called the Bills about reacquiring their former star running back, who was ousted in Chip Kelly's 2015 purge, after lead back Jay Ajayi tore his ACL earlier this month. Bills head coach Sean McDermott responded to questions about the report by saying, "We get calls all the time." After his injury on Sunday, McCoy is still in the concussion protocol, and staying in Buffalo for the rest of the season seems more probable than being dealt.
Rumored Long Shots
Le'Veon Bell, Running Back, Pittsburgh Steelers
Bell is the most high-profile player who could be traded, but also one of the least likely. Steelers owner Art Rooney told NFL Network this week that he doesn't expect the team to trade Bell, but it isn't really up to the team's owner. Bell has yet to sign his franchise tender with the team and is not under contract, which prevents the Steelers from trading him. NFL Media's Jim Trotter reported that Bell is likely to show up after the trade deadline to prevent the Steelers from dealing him, and Bell's agent said in September that the running back has every intention "to make this the best statistical season of his career" when he returns to hit free agency on a high note.
That would be much harder on a different team, where he'd have to learn a new playbook, blocking scheme, and a lot of first names. Bell returning to the Steelers this season remains the most likely scenario, though he originally signaled he would return in time to play in Week 8 but had yet to show as of Tuesday. Odds are he'll be back shortly after the deadline passes.
Eli Manning, Quarterback, New York Giants
Giants fans have gone from whispering to wondering aloud about moving on from Manning, but there doesn't seem to be a logical trade destination for their two-time Super Bowl MVP. Manning has a $22.2 million cap hit this season and a $23.2 million cap hit next year, and the only team seemingly in the market for a QB this year, Jacksonville, has one of the tightest cap situations in the league. Even if Jaguars executive vice president of football operations Tom Coughlin wanted to reunite with Manning, it's improbable, and every other team has a better current or long-term option. However, the team can save $17 million by releasing him this offseason.
Derek Carr, Quarterback, Oakland Raiders
Jon Gruden's (wise) fire sale means nobody is safe, including the franchise quarterback who was the league's highest-paid player as recently as last year. Carr has not looked like a $25 million–a-year player recently, and he has also struggled with back, finger, chest, and head injuries in the last two years since breaking his leg on Christmas Eve 2016 (a rookie at left and right tackle doesn't help). The Raiders can cut Carr as soon as this offseason with little financial penalty to free up as much as $20 million of cap room. That might be tantalizing if Gruden falls in love with another quarterback. This is unlikely to happen this week, but it wouldn't be shocking if Carr were traded and playing elsewhere before his deal expires.
Logical Trade Candidates
Some players haven't surfaced in reports but make too much sense in a deal to ignore. Here are some more under-the-radar trade candidates.
Tyrod Taylor, Quarterback, Cleveland Browns
You'd think Jacksonville would have made this phone call before the Browns snagged Taylor for a third-rounder in March. With the Dolphins looking set with Brock Osweiler playing in lieu of Ryan Tannehill, it's hard to see which team would pony up for Taylor other than the Jaguars, who seem set to ride into the sunset (and off a cliff) with Bortles under center.
Golden Tate, Wide Receiver, Detroit Lions
Tate is great, but he's in the final year of his deal. Marvin Jones Jr. is signed through 2020, and sophomore receiver Kenny Golladay is younger, cheaper, and one of the most improved receivers in football this season. Tate was rumored to be a potential target of New England before the Pats added Josh Gordon, but Tate is so talented in the open field he'd figure to have multiple suitors for a back-end pick
Assorted Players on Jon Gruden's EVERYTHING-MUST-GO Clearance Rack
Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie announced the potential sell-off by saying he was the only untouchable trade asset in Oakland.
- Tight end Jared Cook has been productive for the Raiders, but is 31, a free agent after next season, and would be better served racking up yards on another team. (Perhaps Gronk insurance for the Patriots?)
- Pass rusher Bruce Irvin is 30 and signed through 2019, making him another player unlikely to contribute to the Raiders' Las Vegas era. A playoff team looking to improve its pass rush, like New Orleans or Kansas City, could swoop in with a midround pick.
- Raiders safety Karl Joseph, a 2016 first-round pick, is on the trading block and could be a logical gamble for both Dallas and Kansas City, the two safety-hungry teams that were in the mix for Earl Thomas. Dallas has two of the best corners in football in Byron Jones and Anthony Brown but could improve its safety play, while the Chiefs are struggling for depth with both starting safeties out and the league's worst defense by total yards and passing yards.
Trades That Won't Happen, but Would Be Really Fun
Larry Fitzgerald to the New England Patriots for a Fourth-Rounder
Larry is 35 years old, on the cusp of accruing the most receiving yards of anyone not named Jerry Rice, and the best player in Arizona franchise history. He deserves better than this. Since 2016, he has been forced to catch passes from Drew Stanton, Blaine Gabbert, Sam Bradford, and rookie Josh Rosen. He's so thirsty for a QB that he tried recruiting Kirk Cousins in the offseason. Let him have one Super Bowl run to remember what good quarterback play is like so he can retire in peace.
Robert Griffin III to San Francisco for a Sixth-Round Pick
Joe Flacco is the starter in Baltimore, and Lamar Jackson is the future. Let RGIII reunite with Kyle Shanahan, the offensive coordinator who conducted Griffin's legendary rookie-season symphony, for a one-year reunion tour before Jimmy Garoppolo returns in 2019.
Von Miller to Kansas City for a 2019 First-Rounder, a 2020 First-Rounder, and a 2019 Second-Rounder
I know, I know, I know, Denver shouldn't trade Von Miller to a divisional rival, and blah blah blah. Hear me out. The Broncos have continually kicked Miller's cap hit down the road, and now they are going to have $25 million hits on him for his age-30 and -31 seasons and a $22 million hit for his age-32 season. To put that in perspective, Miller has the 10th-largest 2019 hit, and the rest of the top 17 are quarterbacks. Denver doesn't look like it'll be competitive in those years, and three years from now, fans may wish they had two extra firsts instead of wasting the tail end of Miller's prime. The Chiefs can afford the cap hit while they have Patrick Mahomes II, Tyreek Hill, and Kareem Hunt on rookie contracts, and a lockdown pass rusher like Miller is perfect on a team like Kansas City, which is almost always going to score first, forcing other teams into obvious passing situations.
Blake Bortles to the Jets for a Third-Rounder
Not to play, but to sit. The Jags have a precarious cap situation, and paying Bortles nearly $20 million a year to not play may ruin their title window. The Jets have more cap space than they know what to do with ($106 million in 2019), and they can spend some of it on Bortles and charge Jacksonville a draft pick just for the favor. This is what Cleveland did to Houston last offseason, when the Texans were so desperate to get out of the Brock Osweiler contract that they also sent Cleveland second- and sixth-round picks just to take Osweiler off their hands.

Bausch Health Companies Inc. (BHC 2.56%) got off to a pretty good start under its new name when the company reported its second-quarter results in August. The drugmaker, previously known as Valeant Pharmaceuticals, delivered organic growth for the second consecutive quarter. But could Bausch Health keep the momentum going into the third quarter?
The company answered that question with its third-quarter results announced before the market opened on Tuesday -- and Bausch Health did indeed achieve three quarters in a row of organic sales growth. Here are the highlights from the drugmaker's quarterly update.
Bausch Health results: The raw numbers
Metric |
Change (YOY) |
Sales |
$2.14 billion | $2.22 billion |
(3.7%) |
Net income (loss) from continuing operations |
($350 million) | $1.3 billion |
Earnings (loss) per share (EPS) |
($1.00) | $3.59 |
What happened with Bausch Health this quarter?
At first glance, none of Bausch Health's raw numbers look great. Falling revenue and losses when there were positive earnings in the prior-year period might make you think the company is headed in the wrong direction. But there's more to the story than first meets the eye.
That year-over-year revenue decline stemmed from Bausch Health's divestitures and discontinuations. The company's biggest business segment, Bausch+Lomb/international, posted third-quarter sales of $1.15 billion. This reflected organic sales growth of 3% -- its eighth consecutive quarter of organic growth. The segment is especially enjoying success with Lumify, which is now the No. 1 physician-recommended brand in the redness reliever category and captured a weekly market share of 26%.
Bausch Health reported revenue for its Salix segment of $460 million. This reflected year-over-year revenue growth of 2% despite losing exclusivity for ulcerative colitis drug Uceris. Sales for irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea drug Xifaxan jumped 11% over the prior-year period, with sales of opioid-induced constipation drug Relistor soaring 88%.
The company's ortho dermatologics segment generated third-quarter revenue of $177 million, flat year over year. However, excluding the impact of currency fluctuations, the segment grew revenue by 1% over the prior-year period.
Bausch Health also announced that its diversified products segment's revenue totaled $352 million in the third quarter, down 1% from the same period in 2017. But excluding the impact of divestitures and discontinuations, the segment achieved organic growth of 4%.
What about the poor year-over-year comparisons for Bausch Health's bottom line? The prior-year period figures were positive because of a one-time tax benefit. Bausch Health's adjusted net income in the third quarter increased 10% year over year to $403 million.
One of the most obvious areas that shows the company's progress is its operating cash. Bausch Health reported $522 million of cash from operations in the third quarter, up 7% from the same quarter last year. In addition, Bausch Health repaid more than $360 million in debt during the third quarter.
What management had to say
Bausch Health chairman and CEO Joseph Papa stated:
In addition to another consecutive quarter of overall organic growth, the company delivered organic growth across all reporting segments and generated robust cash flow from operations in the third quarter of 2018. These results demonstrate that our progress toward transformation is on track as we continue to execute within our core businesses, launch new products, resolve legacy issues and reduce the total quantum of our debt.
Looking forward
The company reaffirmed its full-year revenue guidance for 2018 of between $8.15 billion and $8.35 billion. However, Bausch Health upped its adjusted EBITDA guidance for the year. It now expects adjusted EBITDA between $3.3 billion and $3.45 billion, compared to the company's previous guidance of $3.2 billion to $3.35 billion.
Joe Papa has stated for a while that his company will be a great turnaround story. Bausch Health's third-quarter performance showed additional signs that he could be right. New products and solid growth for existing products like Xifaxan will be key if the drugmaker's turnaround is to continue.

I hear so many people utter the words, "I always wished I had gone to ballet as a child", or, "I am too old now, I can't do that". Each time I listen I think to myself, "There is no reason why you can't"……and, more often than not, I say this. Why do I say it? Because I firmly believe it.
by: Maeve McGreevy
As humans, we are built to move. Over time, certain ways of moving have been designed and recorded, given names and adorned with specific attire. Often we recognise these as dance. Ballet is just one of these structured forms, based on a structure we all have. A body.
And how might jumping into the world of ballet benefit our bodies?
Well, to offer a few ideas…
- build a basic and practical understanding of how we move (joints, muscles, bones)
- increase awareness of strength, flexibility and, therefore, be able to develop in these areas- improve coordination and spatial awareness
- create a more open demeanour both physically and psychologically
- encourage confidence in your body, your movement, your thoughts and decisions
- finding a sense of joy and freedom!
If you have a mind and body and want to learn more about them, try a dance class. If you are looking for a well oiled machine in terms of form, try ballet. Regardless of age, race, gender, sexuality, experience or physical build, there really is no reason why you can't.

The film Prisoners had it all. Once you think you have things figured out and feel like you should take over Gyllenhaal's role because you're one step ahead of him, things take a turn and you feel like you're back at square one.
The story follows Keller Dover (Hugh Jackman) in rural Pennsylvania looking for his lost daughter Anna and her friend, Joy Birch, who went missing on Thanksgiving night. Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) immediately jumps on the case to find the missing girls and soon discovers dark secrets hidden away by the town citizens for many years. One by one the twists and turns start to unfurl.
Jackman immersed himself into the role of a father who is willing to go to any lengths to find his daughter. His acting was superb.
This is another one of his great performances, and I would not be surprised if he's nominated for another Academy Award.
The rawness of his performance showing his emotions of grief, despair, anger, and desperation will make you feel as if this was not a film being seen but instead seeing what a father would do if he felt that the law was not doing enough to find his child.
Gyllenhaal showed how deep he can get into a role. His presence in the film showed power and desperation as a detective who had solved every case he had been on. His part in this role is what made the film outstanding.
Prisoners could not have been brought to life the way it was without Academy Award nominee Canadian director Denis Villeneuve. This was his American film debut. He gave a different perspective on abductions. He made every scene count, leading to the unexpected. The cinematography and the film's score resonate with you long after the film is over.
The film also stars Paul Dano, Terrance Howard, Maria Bello, Violet Davis, and Melissa Leo. Each gave a strong performance that should be praised.
Even though the story is fiction, the atrocities committed in this film happen in real life and will strike a chord with anyone with children. The film reflects and dramatizes the horror and haunting memories parents go through with abducted children.
This film is a must-see!

Coronavirus Coverage
Tips From Mass. Residents Who Successfully Booked Coronavirus Vaccinations Online
Editor's Note: On Friday, March 12, the state launched a preregistration system for residents to sign up for vaccine appointments. The hope is that it will be easier to book appointments at the state's mass vaccination sites. Get the latest vaccine distribution updates and news here.
Traducido en español por El Planeta Media.
It's no secret that the vaccination sign-up process for Massachusetts residents who are 75 or older has been quite a headache for many.
On Wednesday, WBUR asked readers and listeners to share their experiences signing up for an appointment, and many emailed us back (and the emails keep rolling in), describing a confusing online sign-up system, a lack of available appointments, and frustration at the slow vaccine rollout.
Gov. Charlie Baker acknowledged the bumpy start during a press conference Thursday afternoon, and offered some new information for eligible people trying to lock down appointments. He said the state will be providing more services, including adding a call-in option for those who don't have access to the internet. More information on that is expected to come next week.
In the meantime, Thursdays may be the best day to look for new openings at large sites. Baker said that's when the state will update its vaccination appointments each week. The number of new appointments will be based on the overall vaccine supply Massachusetts gets from the federal government, which is expected to vary. Baker said there are currently about a million people eligible to get vaccinated.
In the past two days, 45,000 people have made appointments for their first doses.
"At 100,000 new doses a week, you can do the math and figure out that might mean it will take a little while for you to have the opportunity to get your first vaccination," he said.
Baker urged residents to have patience and to continue to come back to the state website to check for appointments at mass vaccination sites on Thursdays. For smaller vaccine operations (think local pharmacies), he recommended checking every day.
Even amid the flood of frustration, some of our readers and listeners had some luck in landing a time slot for their first shot. Here are their tips and words of wisdom on the process.
1. Keep your search preferences broad.
The majority of our readers said you're more likely to have luck making an appointment if you're able to go to sites a little farther from home.
Beth Stonebraker wrote to WBUR:
"I would leave everything blank and just say "Search" and a bunch of stuff would come up. It included MANY places that had no openings, which took me quite a while to figure out (you have to look in the fine print). It also includes a bunch of places that have all kinds of restrictions, like only people who work in the town, or only people needing a second vaccine, or only firefighters (which I signed up for and had to cancel)."
Jen Flynn added:
"I signed up my mother and my mother-in-law yesterday and found it very smooth. I guess the advice I would give is just go in and click a time and date, and you may not be choosy. Click it and continue with the process and just keep moving forward."
Another Mass. resident has more than a tip; she's actually created a tool she says can to help residents find appointments without having to hunt across various third-party providers. Olivia Adams, a developer at Athena Health, said she launched a website that aggregates COVID vaccine appointment availability from various sites across the state, so you can see the number of appointment openings, organized by location, in one place. As of now, it appears to includes appointments from maimmunizations.org, Hannaford (5 locations), UMass Amherst, Springfield (Eastfield Mall), Danvers (Doubletree Hotel) and Arlington (Family Practice Group, PC.) Of note: It's not a state-approved tool, and it's not comprehensive. Adams is working to gather more information from other sources, but said, "I'm a mom of two on maternity leave. If you're interested in helping, visit my personal website to contact me." When asked about Adams and her tool Friday, Baker said, "Send us her name. We'll talk to her."
2. Look at the vaccination sites with large capacities.
Another reader, Stephen Greenbaum, said he booked a spot at Gillette Stadium, which added thousands of appointments in the early hours of Thursday morning. Another mass vaccination site, Fenway Park, has started booking appointments, too. But bear in mind, those slots filled up fast, especially at Fenway.
Fenway is starting out with 500 appointments a day. Gillette Stadium has already ramped up to several thousand a day.
Baker also recommended checking out the state's other two sites: The Eastfield Mall in Springfield and the DoubleTree Hotel in Danvers. Both those locations posted 10,000 appointments on Wednesday (booked within hours), and Thursday they added an additional 15,000 appointments. Baker said there will be seven mass vaccination sites in all, that will be open within the next two weeks.
That said, not everyone has a car or the ability to take the time needed to travel to a vaccination site farther from home. If you're someone with a car, you can help your neighbors by leaving openings at locations that are MBTA accessible.
3. If trying to book through a local pharmacy, create an account (or download the app) first.
Pharmacies are adding new appointment times more frequently than the state, but they have less bandwidth. And each pharmacy has its own system and set of requirements to sign up, which can get a little confusing.
For Walgreens, you have to set up an account online and be pre-screened before you can book an appointment. For CVS, you can sign up for both the initial and second doses at the same time through the CVS Pharmacy app or on CVS.com.
Setting up your account before trying to book the appointment might spare you at least part of the headache. Reader Virginia Wagg also found that midnight is a good time to check the CVS site for newly added time slots.
4. Have your insurance information handy.
To be clear, there is no cost for the coronavirus vaccine, regardless of the brand or where you make your appointment. You are not required to have health insurance in order to have access to one, and if you don't add in insurance information, you're still able to make an appointment for your shot.
However, if you do have insurance, Gov. Baker wants you to use it so the cost of the vaccine is covered by your insurance company rather than the state.
Many readers recommended having your insurance information handy by taking pictures of your cards ahead of time and having them already downloaded on whatever computer you're booking your appointment on. You might want to keep the cards in reach, too, in case you're asked to type in your provider information.
5. Don't forget to fill out your vaccine attestation form.
When you do finally book your appointment, you're not done! You'll need to fill out a vaccine attestation form, and you'll be required to present it at your appointment, as reader Cathy Delano reminded us. Basically, the form is how you show that you were eligible to have made the appointment in the first place.
You can download the PDF to fill out and bring with you, or submit online. (Hint: That button is all the way at the bottom of that page.) If you go the latter route, you'll present your confirmation email on your phone at your appointment.
Another important note: People 75 and older do not need a certification code when scheduling appointments. Certification codes were originally required to verify the first-responder status of people receiving vaccines under phase one protocols, and in some cases that guidance has not yet been updated to reflect the changes under phase two.
6. And a final tip, from WBUR's newsroom: Beware of COVID-19 vaccine scam websites.
Even before signups opened for seniors, scammer sites started popping up. To protect yourself, here are some things to look out for:
- Pay attention to the address bar. If you see the "s" dropped from the web address https://www.maimmunizations.org/, then it is not the correct site. Another clue that a website may be a scam is if it uses http:// instead of https:/
- You will not be asked to make a payment or for your social security information during the sign up process, even if there are claims to give you early access.
- What you could be asked to present at your appointment and when you sign up: insurance information (though the vaccine is free) as well as identification (such an employer or government-issued ID or a recent paystub) and your attestation form. That's it.

Culture & Ethics
About Those "Synthetic Embryos"
Israeli researchers appear to have created what they are calling "synthetic mouse embryos," using embryonic stem cells — without fertilization — and developed them about halfway through a normal mouse period of gestation. From the Guardian story:
Last year, the same team described how they had built a mechanical womb that enabled natural mouse embryos to grow outside the uterus for several days. In the latest work, the same device was used to nurture mouse stem cells for more than a week, nearly half the gestation time for a mouse.
Some of the cells were pre-treated with chemicals, which switched on genetic programmes to develop into placenta or yolk sac, while others developed without intervention into organs and other tissues.
While most of the stem cells failed to form embryo-like structures, about 0.5% combined into little balls that grew distinct tissues and organs. When compared with natural mouse embryos, the synthetic embryos were 95% the same in terms of their internal structure and the genetic profiles of the cells. As far as the scientists could tell, the organs that formed were functional.
This Way to Human Experimentation
I have no problem with this work in mice. But the scientists want to take this technology into human experimentation:
But researchers believe the work could also reduce animal experimentation and ultimately pave the way for new sources of cells and tissues for human transplantation. For example, skin cells from a leukaemia patient could potentially be transformed into bone marrow stem cells to treat their condition.
Hold on a second. We heard these same kinds of goals for what was called "therapeutic cloning," that is creating clones of patients and harvesting the organs or other tissues after a period of gestational development. But media descriptions always left something out: The organs and tissues taken in that process — were it to be done — would have been harvested from unborn cloned human beings. Morally speaking, that's a much different thing from, say, turning skin cells into stem cells and then into heart cells for use in regenerative treatments.
The Key Determinant
So it seems to me that the key determinant in judging the moral propriety of applying this technology within the human realm is whether this process creates a human being or not. Or, to put it another way, would the "synthetic embryo" be a human organism?
If the "entity" — let's call it — develops like a natural embryo and has nearly identical genetic properties, why would it be considered something other than bona fide human life? After all, a cloned human embryo doesn't involve the use of sperm but is as fully human as its counterpart that comes into being through fertilization. Just because sperm and egg are not involved would not necessarily make the resulting entity less human.
What should matter is the nature of the thing itself, however brought into existence. Just calling something "synthetic" doesn't make it so. And the burden of proof in this regard should fall on the scientists to demonstrate that the process would not create an organism before they are given carte blanche.
The Time Is Now
The broader point in this news is that biotech researchers are developing the most powerful technologies since the splitting of the atom. The time is now — while the field remains embryonic — to establish enforceable ethical and legal boundaries about what can be done, particularly with human research, and what shouldn't be allowed. Boundaries are needed to help us navigate the tremendous potential of bioscience, without falling into the crassest kind of utilitarianism in which unborn human life is emptied of all intrinsic moral value.
But we are not even having that conversation. The scientists only will agree to voluntary guidelines, which as the old saying goes, are not worth the paper they are written on. Until society demands accountability and transparency, I don't see any likelihood that biotechnologists will restrain themselves.
Somewhere Aldous Huxley is saying, "I told you so."

Garden Update
Kathleen Cue, Nebraska Extension Horticulture Educator in Dodge County
Winter Damage
February's deep cold separated the marginally hardy plants from those that weathered the winter without problems. The lower portions of stems of some trees and shrubs, protected by the snow, flowered as usual and are sending out new leaves. Unfortunately, the portions of plants not protected by snow remain lifeless or are slow to leaf out. Burning bush, Japanese maple, doublefile viburnum, forsythia, black gum, Korean Evodia, butterflybush, blue spirea, beautyberry, boxwood, and other variably hardy plants are showing the effects of what a deep drop in temperature can do. Leaf emergence on lower parts of plants indicate they were not killed outright but significant growth has been lost.
Utilizing best management practices will nurture this new growth emerging from the lower parts of plants. Given last year's drought conditions, making sure trees and shrubs are adequately watered, about one inch per week, will help. If irrigating, this one inch of water should be made all in one application, not divided into several smaller ones. Mulching 2-4 inches deep with wood chips or shredded bark protects plant root zones throughout the year. Refrain from fertilizing trees and shrubs. Stay away from using any lawn weed herbicide containing dicamba. Cutting back stems thought to be dead can be delayed for another week or so to allow ample opportunity for new growth to emerge. For plants deformed by the frigid cold, removing them altogether may be the best option.
Herbicide Drift
Twisted new growth, stunted leaves, and distorted flower buds—these are the symptoms of herbicide drift. Auxin-containing herbicides such as 2,4-D and dicamba are easily carried on wind currents when wind speeds surpass 10 mph or can spread when vapors lift from targeted plants at temperatures 80° F and warmer.
The degree of harm to plants from drift depends on the age of the plant and the amount of product the plant is exposed to. Leaves that are smaller than normal and/or are curled do not photosynthesize to their full capability. This means leaves will produce less sugars, which are necessary to fuel root development and fruit production. Young trees have a tougher time weathering herbicide drift than older well-established trees, largely because young trees have a lot of growing left to do, and loss of leaf material greatly reduces the tree's ability to complete this process. Vegetable plants, like tomatoes, may survive herbicide drift but will have reduced yields.
There is nothing to be done to counter the effects of herbicide drift. If new growth in vegetable plants continues to be distorted, plants should be removed. Trees and shrubs are not necessarily killed by a single case of herbicide drift, but negative effects accumulate when trees are continually exposed. Specialty growers, tree nurseries, growers for farmers markets, grape growers, and beekeepers can register their site with DriftWatch™ Nebraska <ne.driftwatch.org>, a communication tool to enable producers and applicators to work together to protect crops.

Mexican police break up 800-strong caravan heading towards the southern US border - the FOURTH group of migrants in a week to make the journey
Mexican border agents and police broke up a caravan of hundreds of migrants Sunday who had set out from southernmost Mexico - the fourth such caravan officials have raided in recent days.
The group of about 800 - largely Central Americans, Haitians, Venezuelans and Cubans - had set out from the border city of Tapachula where they had been kept awaiting processing by Mexican immigration officials.
They spent Saturday night at a basketball court near Huixtla, some 25 miles up the road from Tapachula.
Just before dawn on Sunday, immigration agents went into the crowd amassed on a basketball court, backed by police with anti-riot gear and shields, shoving many into trucks. Many migrants in the crowd had children with them or carried babies.
This is at least the fourth such caravan that has been broken up after departing from the Chiapas city of Tapachula. The groups were headed toward Mexico City, with many planning to press on towards the US border.
Roughly 55,000 of 77,000 the asylum-seekers in Mexico are awaiting processing at facilities in the city, and many have complained about unsanitary conditions.
Hundreds of migrants, pictured on September 4, head toward Huixtla 25 miles away from the town of Tapachula, where many have waited for months for their asylum claims to be processed
The group of about 800 migrants, made up of Haitians, Venezuelans and Cubans, took refuge on a basketball court in Huixtla on the evening of September 5 - they were headed off the next morning by Mexican border control agents
The group of about 800 - largely made up of Haitians, Venezuelans and Cubans - spent the night of September 5 in Huixtla, about 25 miles north of Tapachula, where roughly 55,000 of 77,000 asylum-seekers in Mexico are awaiting processing
Just before dawn on September 5, immigration agents went into the crowd amassed on a basketball court, backed by police with anti-riot gear and shields, shoving many into trucks. Many migrants in the crowd had children in tow or carried babies
Police with anti-riot gear and shields moved in to break up the caravan Sunday, with hundreds of the migrants escaping toward a river and hiding in the vegetation.
'They began to hit me all over,' a woman said amid tears, alleging that police also beat her husband and pulled one of her daughters from her arms.
'Until they give me my daughter, I'm not leaving,' she told an Associated Press camera crew. But immigration agents surrounded and detained the woman, her husband and another child.
The round up happened days after hundreds of Mexico's National Guardsmen and immigrations agents clashed with migrants on September 2, also in Huixtla, responding with force after rocks and sticks were thrown at them.
The Mexican government has insisted that two immigration agents caught on camera using excessive force against a Haitian immigrant last Saturday, one tackling the man to the ground while another kicked his head repeatedly, were suspended.
Mexico has faced pressure from its north, south and from citizens within its own borders in recent weeks as thousands of migrants have streamed through the country in recent weeks.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration is continuing to struggle with a surge in border crossings since the president came into office and reversed many Trump-era policies.
Migrant arrests have soared to 20-year highs this year.
Data released by US Customs and Border Protection reported 212,672 encounters in July, the most up-to-date data the agency has made public, taking the number of migrants stopped for illegal border entry to 1,331,822 for fiscal year 2021.
It was revealed last month that the Biden administration aims to hire an additional 1,000 asylum officers and another 1,000 support staff. The hiring spree would more than double the current crop of about 800 asylum officers and would be funded either by Congress or immigration application fee hikes.
Data released by US Customs and Border Protection in July, the most recent data the agency has released, showed that the U.S. Border Patrol reported 212,672 encounters in the southwestern border region in July 2021

In August, a divided Supreme Court ordered the Biden administration to reinstate the Trump-era policy, called Migrant Protection Protocols and better known as 'Remain in Mexico.'
Per its name, the legislation forces migrants to wait for months south of the border as their asylum claims are processed. The court intervened after the Biden administration halted the policy shortly after the president's inauguration.
On Thursday, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said that the strategy of containing migrants in his country's southern states was untenable without investment in the root causes of migration.
'We cannot just be detaining, holding back, we must address the causes,' he said.
Obrador said he would urge the Biden administration to fund his development projects, including tree-planting and youth employment programs.

He said the initiatives could create 330,000 jobs in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador - the 'Northern Triangle,' where most undocumented immigrants to the US come from - within six months.
About 19,000 of the 77,000 plus applicants waiting for acceptance to the US in Mexico, though, are Haitians that would not be impacted by the development projects.
These Haitians, who have fled their country in record numbers since their President Jovenel Moïse's assassination gave way to increased gang violence, have engaged in increasingly fervent protest in Tapachula in recent weeks.
Also on Thursday, California federal court judge Cynthia Bashant ruled against the United States' renewed decision to keep migrants awaiting approval for asylum claims Mexico, calling it unconstitutional.
Bashant's decision does not impose an immediate impact - however, it could set a precedent preventing similar rulings justified by a lack of resources in the future.
It could also bring relief to some of the tens of thousands of people who put their names on unofficial waiting lists in Mexican border towns.

I cannot help but fall victim to envy when I see my friends blossoming in their relationships with their moms. Especially in recent years.
The older I get, the more I see this new dynamic take place in a mother-daughter relationship. It seems like there is a point in life when you and your mom become friends, almost even peer-like. You both stand on common ground since you have entered motherhood yourself. There is real, genuine friendship that seems to strengthen as time goes on, for you have more in common with each other. You can relate to your mom now, more than ever before, because you understand what she has done and sacrificed for you. You are doing the same thing with your own kids. You see her in a different light. She must see you differently, too.
The simplicity of it is what makes it so hard when you don't have it.
I see my girlfriends go out to dinner or grab drinks with their moms. They go shopping or take in a craft class together. They call each other on the phone or text throughout the day.
RELATED: Did My Mom Know How Much I Loved Her?
I truly cannot fathom what that would be like anymore. It's been eight years and I'm such a different person at 30 than I was at 22. So much has changed, and I will never get to experience my mom as my best friend in my adult life.
I often wonder how many times a day I would unconsciously turn to my mom for advice, reassurance, and companionship. How often I would feel more confident of myself and my parenting because my number one supporter was rooting me on from the sidelines. Her presence a daily reminder I'm safe, and I'm doing a good job. She was my tether to everything I was and everything I had ever known.
And when that tether has been severed, it gets lonely. Sometimes hard.
This is when I need her. Right now, as a grown woman, a wife, a mother.
I miss that never-ending line of support and love only my mother can give me. I want to hold her hand. I want to feel her arms wrapped around me so hard that all of my worries are snuffed out. It's a hug only she is capable of.
A hug I needed on the day my sons were born. I needed her hand in the months of doubt and exhaustion that followed. I needed her presence in the years of forming new traditions and memories with my own family. I wanted her to be a part of those memories for my boys.
My boys. I look at them and wonder what it would be like to see them through my mother's eyes. To watch the pure delight she'd take in them and them in her.
RELATED: Even Though You're In Heaven, Your Grandchildren Will Know You
I think about the really little things, too. The seemingly small gestures that are taken for granted, like seeing them reach for her hand or pull her face in for a kiss. I wanted to meet my mother as the grandmother of my boys. She would have excelled in that role.
I am under no illusion that my life would be perfect if my mom were still here. I know we would have our days, or moments, even disagreements. I would take those in a heartbeat. I would take the good and the bad because that's real. And this? The not having her? It just doesn't seem real, even still. When in fact, this has been my reality for close to a decade.
I'll be honest, I have a hard time when I see these silly, harmless phrases on social media that are meant to be funny or sweet. The ones about still needing your mom even as an adult or the I don't know where I'd be without my mom comments.
I'll tell you where you'd be. You'd still be here, doing life, but it would be lonelier and sometimes sadder. A little bit harder, depending on the day.
You'd be strong enough to do it, even when you don't want to be strong enough. You would be brave enough, even when it hurts to be brave. Some days would be better than others. Not all are hard and sad, but all are a bit emptier.
So I see my friends, and I see them becoming friends in such a way with their own mom and I think, "So that's what it would be like. That's what it would feel like. That's what it would look like."
RELATED: Don't Take Your Mom For Granted—I'd Give Anything to Have Mine Back
And I pray my friends appreciate everything they have by still having their mom. I really do. Because as someone who longs to have hers, I watch. I see the beauty in every relationship between a mother and daughter and yearn to have my own still.
So friends, hug your mom today. If you can't, send her one through a text. I would even settle for that.

Historical Essay #1: Confederation and Constitution
As depression struck the new nation in the mid-1780s, new questions arose about the nature of American democracy. Many conservatives believed that the answer lay in a stronger national government. Most radicals believed it was up to the states to relieve the financial burden of the people. These sentiments fostered a movement for a new constitution. Political differences soon stimulated the creation of political parties.
Compare and contrast the Articles of Confederation with the new Constitution of 1787. What were the strengths and weaknesses of the Articles vis-à-vis the Constitution? Give specific instances that demonstrate the weakness of the Articles (such as the Western problem).
Then analyze the drafting of the Constitution, using specific details to show how the various states (slave vs. free, east vs. west) compromised in order to effectively draft a constitution. Pay particular attention to Roger Sherman's plan, the Great Compromise, which broke a stalemate that could have been fatal to the development of the new Constitution.
Finally, compare and contrast the debate over ratification between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. Make sure you cite specific examples from the Federalist Papers to support the Federalist position and contrast it with leading proponents of the opposition (such as John Hancock). Analyze how the debate over a bill of rights illustrates the differences between the two parties. Evaluate the relative success of the Bill of Rights in achieving an effective balance between national and states' interests.
This paper must be four to five double-spaced pages in length (not including the References page) and utilize no less than four academic quality sources. Margins should be no more than one inch (right and left) and the essay should be composed in an appropriate font and size. Sources must be documented and cited using APA format.
In order to grade your assignments as accurately as possible, I have borrowed a grading rubric which has been approved by the North Central Accrediting Agency and is widely used by English teachers on the secondary and college levels. For the purpose of simplicity, I have divided the grading into three categories:
1. Content and Organization. This category includes the basic content and organization of the paper. The paper should be focused and on target, where all content adds to the whole. The paper should include an inviting introduction, with a thesis statement, and a satisfactory conclusion. The paper should meet the basic page requirements for the given assignment.
2. Sentence Fluency and Voice. This category takes into account the student's active engagement with the topic. Papers should exhibit strong sentences, with interesting vocabulary. Papers at the highest level should be individual, personal, and compelling. The paper itself would invite expressive oral reading.
3. Grammar Conventions and Presentation. This category takes into account the basics of English composition: spelling, punctuation, grammar, and paragraphing. Short paragraphs tend to make a paper choppy and difficult to read. Papers at the highest grade level are ready to publish and demonstrate an above average proficiency in English. All papers are expected to conform to APA standards as regards formatting and references.
I will use the above chart to refer to your assignment. E.g. "2.While your paper is well-written, it is often mechanical. Sentences tend to be choppy and awkward. The essay is pleasant but not overly compelling." Please email me with any concerns you have after the grading.
Overall guidelines: The paper should be typed and double-spaced, on standard 8 ½" x 11", 20-pound white paper. All margins should be set at 1 inch. The paper should use an acceptable font and size.
