COVAX vaccine supply outpaces demand for 1st time, but other hurdles remain
COVID-19 vaccines is struggling to place more than 300 million doses in the latest sign the problem with vaccinating the world is now more about demand than supply.Last year, wealthy nations snapped most of the available shots to inoculate their own citizens first, meaning less than a third of people in low-income countries have been vaccinated so far compared with more than 70% in richer nations.As supply and donations have ramped up, however, poorer nations are facing hurdles such as gaps in cold-chain shortage, vaccine hesitancy and a lack of money to support distribution networks, public health officials told Reuters.In January, COVAX, the global vaccine program run by Gavi and the World Health Organization (WHO), had 436 million vaccines to allocate to countries, according to a document published in mid-February.

Fairmount community forms neighborhood watch in response to crime, violence
PHILADELPHIA - A Philadelphia community is rallying together to try to curtail crime and violence that has gripped their once peaceful neighborhood. Melissa Brannon, a 10 year resident of Fairmount, organized a town watch and for that last month has gathered with neighbors to strategize about how to make their community safer.  She was inspired to make a change after a recent spike in crime that included four broad daylight carjackings and a shooting in front of a popular neighborhood bar. Brannon recruited Anthony Murphy, the Executive Director of Town Watch Integrated Services, to lead the training. Fairmount neighborhood watch participants gathered to learn special training.

Cell Tower PHOENIX - For a number of Americans, their current smartphones will stop working this year, as major cell service providers say they will switch off their 3G network, also referred to on some websites as the 3G sunset.Here's what you need to know to plan ahead.According to officials with the FCC, mobile carriers "periodically shut down older services, such as 3G, to free up spectrum and infrastructure to support new services, such as 5G.""Mobile carriers have the flexibility to choose the types of technologies and services they deploy, including when they decommission older services in favor of newer services to meet consumer demands," read a portion of the FCC website dedicated to the pending 3G shutoff.FCC officials say similar network transitions have happened before, such as the switchoff of 2G networks by some mobile carriers when their networks were being upgraded to support 4G services.Officials with AT&T say their 3G network has been phased out, effective Feb. 22.T-Mobile has a more complicated schedule in their 3G network switchoff.

Supports swells for Chester County high school to drop mascot some consider offensive
ELVERSON, Pa. - A Chester County high school is feeling a strong push to change its mascot that many argue is an offensive characterization of Native Americans. More than 50 people showed up to a meeting Tuesday night and many joined online as Twin Valley High School Senior Arden Wolfe continued her two-year campaign to switch the school's ‘Raider’ mascot. "It just kind of portrays harmful stereotypes of Native Americans," Wolfe said. "I think it is really important to represent Native Americans in a good way and not use people as mascots."She isn't alone, Wolfe has collected thousands of signatures on an online petition that moves to upend the Raider namesake and the imagery associated with it. A Twin Valley High School Senior is leading the charge to get the school's Raider mascot changed.

PHILADELPHIA - As more states continue to drop mask mandates amid a steady decline in COVID-19 cases, schools are also deciding if students and teachers can ditch the mask to bring normalcy back to the classroom. Garnett Valley School District became the latest local district to make masks optional for students and faculty members effective immediately. Radnor Township School District is also expected to make masks optional after officials heard over 3 hours of public comment on Tuesday mostly in favor of dropping the requirement."I’m ready to take it off because I’m ready to see people's faces again and I think they’ll make personal connections more meaningful again," said Jordan Paszamant, a 12th grader at Friends Central. According to Johns Hopkins University data over the weekend, total confirmed cases of COVID-19 barley exceeded 100,000, a sharp downturn from around 800,850 five weeks ago on Jan. 16.COVID-19 hospitalizations are down from a national seven-day average of 146,534 on Jan.

(AP) - Another day ran off the clock on talks to salvage opening day when locked-out baseball players proposed what they considered a small move forward in drawn-out labor negotiations and management termed it a third straight step backward.Management again proposed a federal mediator enter the negotiations, but the union immediately turned down that idea, leaving Major League Baseball on track to lose regular-season games to a labor dispute for the first time since 1995.Less than a week remains until the sides reach what management says is a Monday deadline for a deal that would allow the season to start as scheduled on March 31.

Nord Stream 2: What to know about the controversial gas pipeline connecting Russia with Europe
RELATED: Biden imposes sanctions against Russian oligarchs, banks for ‘beginning’ of Ukraine invasionNow it’s become a major target as Western governments try to exert leverage on Russia to deter further military moves against Ukraine. THE RUNDOWN Nord Stream 2 is a 764-mile-long natural gas pipeline under the Baltic Sea, running from Russia to Germany's Baltic coast. It runs parallel to an earlier Nord Stream pipeline and would double its capacity, to 110 billion cubic meters of gas a year. It means the Russian state-owned energy company Gazprom can send gas to Europe's pipeline system without using existing pipelines running through Ukraine and Poland.WHY DOES RUSSIA WANT THE PIPELINE? State-owned gas giant Gazprom says it will meet Europe's growing need for affordable natural gas and complement existing pipelines through Belarus and Ukraine. Nord Stream 2 would offer an alternative to Ukraine's aging system that Gazprom says needs refurbishment, lower costs by saving transit fees paid to Ukraine, and avoid episodes like brief 2006 and 2009 gas cutoffs over price and payment disputes between Russia and Ukraine. Europe is a key market for Gazprom, whose sales support the Russian government budget.

The ongoing fight against the COVID-19 virus will also be a big chunk of the department's purpose. "It’s still COVID," Lyon said.
