THE LONG DUMB ROAD (2018) Grade: D- 

If you have the word dumb in your title, it better be a good movie. This was not. Boring, unfunny, cheesy in the worst way.

States scramble to halt Johnson & Johnson vaccinations after CDC email says 'Do not uStates scramble to halt Johnson & Johnson vaccinations after CDC and FDA recommend pause The six cases were among about 6.8 million Americans who have received the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine. All six cases were among women between ages of 18 and 48, and symptoms occurred 6 to 13 days after vaccination, the CDC and FDA said. “I know there are people who have gotten the vaccine who are probably very concerned. For people who got the vaccine more than a month ago, the risk to them is very low at this time,” said Dr. Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director of the CDC. “For people who recently got the vaccine within the last couple of weeks, they should be aware to look for symptoms. If you received the vaccine and develop severe headaches, abdominal pain, leg pain or shortness of breath, you should contact your health care provider.” In an email sent to states and public health jurisdictions, the CDC instructed vaccinators to hold any Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine until further instructed. The CDC says in the email that approximately 220,000 J&J doses were expected to be delivered on Tuesday. According to the CDC, that supply should be stored between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius, and lots are to be labeled “Do not use. Awaiting guidance.” In addition to reiterating to not use the vaccine, the CDC told vaccinators in the email that unfilled orders of J&J vaccine would not be immediately filled, and no new orders would be accepted. The email, reviewed by CNN, was received by someone involved in the national vaccination effort. The other two vaccines used in the US, from Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna, are extremely safe and effective and continue to be distributed widely. Those both come in two doses and were created very differently from the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. The CDC said it will meet with the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) on Wednesday to further review the six cases and assess their potential significance. Pause shows system works, NC official says Several states have directed vaccine providers to pause the use of Johnson & Johnson vaccines while also keeping those vaccines in the proper conditions. North Carolina’s top doctor said the pause is evidence of how well the system works. “Today’s announcement shows that we have a robust safety system in place and that that system is working to identify any concerns,” said Dr. Mandy Cohen, secretary of the state’s Department of Health and Human Services. In New York, everyone with Tuesday appointments for Johnson & Johnson vaccines a state mass vaccination sites will be given the Pfizer vaccine instead, the state health commissioner said. The New Jersey health department will work with all vaccination sites to help reschedule appointments and make arrangements to give one of the other two vaccines, the state health commissioner said. Both CVS and Walgreens will also stop giving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine for now, representatives for the pharmacy chains said. In Virginia, Gov. Ralph Northam was at a middle school where 1,100 people were scheduled to get shots over two days. “Our team here, switched over with the help of Walgreens, to the Pfizer vaccination,” said Northam. “We will await the guidance from the FDA and CDC regarding J&J. Hopefully, this is just a small setback that we will overcome.” Pfizer has boosted production of its vaccine and “can deliver 10% more doses to the US by the end of May than previously agreed,” CEO Dr. Albert Bourla said in a tweet Tuesday. This means the company will deliver 220 million doses by the end of next month, Bourla said — which is 20 million more than previously expected. Don’t get lax — hospitalizations keep rising Nationally, Covid-19 cases and hospitalizations are on the rise, especially among young Americans who are less likely to be vaccinated, health officials say. “Don’t declare victory prematurely,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. “We see so many pulling back on some of the public health measures: the mask mandates, the restaurant opening, the bars. We can’t be doing that. We’ve got to wait a bit longer until we get enough vaccine into people that we will clearly blunt any surge.” If the US keeps vaccinating quickly and doubles down on safety measures, it could soon see a “turnaround,” Fauci said. One of the biggest challenges is the B.1.1.7 strain, which is more contagious than the original strain of coronavirus and is now the dominant strain in the US. B.1.1.7 is also hitting young people particularly hard. To try to get out of this pandemic, “it’s still about masks and physical distancing and ventilation and vaccines,” said emergency physician Dr. Megan Ranney, director of the Brown-Lifespan Center for Digital Health in Rhode Island. “The current vaccines work really well against B.1.1.7.” Coronavirus variants are behind alarming trends in several states, including Michigan, which local officials say is in the middle of another surge, with both case and hospitalization numbers quickly rising. The state has the second-highest number of cases of the B.1.1.7 variant, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The state with the highest number of cases of the variant is Florida. In New Jersey, where there are more than 950 cases reported of concerning variants, patients on ventilators and virus-related deaths have increased, state health commissioner Judy Persichilli said Monday. About 48% of the state’s new hospitalizations were people under the age of 60, she added. US is on track to hit a key vaccination milestone More than 122 million Americans — about 36.8% of the population — have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, according to CDC data. About 75.3 million people — about 22.7% of the US population — have been fully vaccinated. The US is on track to reach half of the US adult population with at least one dose by the end of the week, according to a CNN analysis of CDC data. As of Tuesday, 47% US residents have gotten their first shots. At least 11 states have already reached that threshold: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont and Wisconsin. In Kentucky, Gov. Andy Beshear announced a new “Team Kentucky Vaccination Challenge,” saying that when 2.5 million residents have received at least their first dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, the state will remove most of its capacity restrictions. “With the vaccine supply we have, we could get there in as little as three-and-a-half weeks from now,” Beshear said in a news release. “That minimum time frame might not be realistic, but we should get there in four to six weeks if we are intentional.” More than 1.6 million residents have so far received at least their first dose of vaccine, the release said. Kentucky has a population of about 4.5 million. “We have to try everything to reach this point as quickly as possible. That will help us have a more normal summer than any of us could have imagined this winter,” the governor added. More universities will require vaccine proof To lower Covid-19 risks on their campuses, a growing number of colleges and universities have said they will require all students to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 before returning to campus. Johns Hopkins University, in Maryland, is the latest to join the list. All students who plan to be on campus will be required to be vaccinated unless they have a medical or religious reason not to be and faculty are also strongly recommended to be vaccinated, although it will not be required for them, according to an announcement sent to the campus community on Friday. “Our plans are predicated on continuing public health strategies to promote a safe campus and community,” Johns Hopkins University President Ronald Daniels and other university leaders wrote. “Ensuring that the overwhelming percentage of our community’s population is vaccinated will greatly reduce the risk of the virus’s spread on our campuses and will also protect our neighbors in Baltimore,” they added. By CNN’s count, there are at least 18 colleges and universities in the US that will be requiring Covid-19 vaccines. CNN’s Michael Nedelman.

Watch Come From Away play "28 Hours/Wherever We Are", "I Am Here", "Me and the Sky", "Something's Missing" and "Finale" at the Tiny Desk. More from NPR Music: Tiny Desk Concerts: https://www.npr.org/tinydesk Twitter: https://twitter.com/nprmusic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nprmusic Sept. 11, 2019 | Josh Rogosin -- Sixteen performers from the Broadway production of Come From Away recently climbed out of a chartered bus in front of NPR and crammed behind Bob Boilen's desk. They condensed their nearly two-hour show about the days following 9/11 into a relatively tiny 17 minutes. By the end of the diminutive set, there were more than a few tears shed. Where were you on Sep. 11, 2001? Anyone who is old enough to remember can probably answer that question. Perhaps that's why the stories told in the Broadway musical Come From Away are so relatable. In the aftermath of the Sep. 11 attacks, 38 planes carrying thousands of passengers were grounded in remote Gander, Newfoundland in Canada for five days. The creators of Come From Away traveled to Gander 10 years later and collected the tales that make up the musical. In Gander there's an expression that, if you're visiting, you've "come from away." The people of Gander took in the come-from-aways, and their stories have resonated with audiences worldwide. The Broadway cast recently celebrated 1,000 performances and there are simultaneous productions running in London, Toronto, Melbourne and a national tour. As one of the actors explains, "The story we tell is not a 9/11 story, it's a 9/12 story. It's a story about the power of kindness in response to a terrible event, and how we can each live, leading with kindness, everyday." SET LIST "28 Hours/Wherever We Are" "I Am Here" "Me and the Sky" "Something's Missing" "Finale" MUSICIANS Chris Ranney: keys, accordion; Caitlin Warbelow: fiddle, fiddle in Gb; Ben Power: high whistles, low whistles, flute; Romano DiNillo: bodhran, cajon; Alec Berlin: acoustic guitar; Petrina Bromley: vocals; Holly Ann Butler: vocals; Geno Carr: vocals; De'Lon Grant: vocals; Joel Hatch: vocals; Chad Kimball: vocals; Kevin McAllister: vocals; Happy McPartlin: vocals; Julie Reiber: vocals; Astrid Van Wieren: vocals; Jim Walton: vocals CREDITS Producers: Josh Rogosin, Morgan Noelle Smith; Creative Director: Bob Boilen; Audio Engineers: Josh Rogosin, Andy Huether; Videographers: Morgan Noelle Smith, Jeremiah Rhodes, Maia Stern, Bronson Arcuri; Associate Producer: Bobby Carter; Executive Producer: Lauren Onkey; VP, Programming: Anya Grundmann; Photo: Shuran Huang/NPR

Gallery: Vintage Drag Racing Through the Lens of Dave Kommel

Dave Kommel fell in love with drag racing in 1960 as a 10-year-old reading about Don Garlits in Hot Rod Magazine. He went to his first race in Union Grove, WI, in 1966 and started shooting trackside, mainly on the west coast, in 1972 through the ’70s until forming Auto Imagery in 1979 with Richard Shute. From 1980 through 2013, he traveled the country shooting NHRA, IHRA, IDBA, ProStar, various independent drag races and a little bit of NASCAR. Now retired, Dave still shoots races that catch his fancy and has begun scanning his extensive cache of slides and negatives from the 1970s.

Bob Glidden’s Pro Stock Pinto at the 1975 Winton Finals at Ontario Motor Speedway. Glidden went on to win the event and also the second of his ten Pro Stock championships.

Unknown Top Fuel team in the pits at Irwindale in 1971. This team was relatively high-dollar for the day as they had an enclosed trailer and a spare motor.

Jr. Berona at Lions in 1972. The central California-based team of Barnes and Berona ran a series of inline six gassers for a number of years.

Dave Beebe in Rich Guasco’s “Pure Hell” Funny Car at OCIR in 1972. Beebe drove numerous Fuel Altereds, Funny Cars and Top Fuel Dragsters in the 1960s and ‘70s.

Richard Herrera in the Herrera & Matsukane BB/A Opel GT at the 1973 Winternationals. The Herrera family ran a series of good-looking AA/GS and blown altereds.

Danny Ongais riding out a fire in the Rossi & Lisa car at Irwindale in 1973. A very young John Stewart is in the near lane.

Fred Goeske trying to put it on the bumper at Irwindale in 1975. Goeske ran Funny Cars and rocket Funny Cars from the mid-60’s through the early 80’s.

“TV Tommy” Ivo at the 1975 Winton Finals. Ivo was a child TV star in the 1950s and later became one of drag racing’s first full-time touring pros.

Tom Lemon in the Kazanjian and Lemon BB/FC at Salt Lake City in 1975. Kazanjian and Lemon always had good-looking cars and they are still competing today in Nostalgia Funny Car with Rian Konno at the wheel now.

Ray Motes in John Pusch’s Funny Car at the 1976 Winernationals. During a 30-year career, Motes drove everything from Top Fuel, Funny Car, Top Gas, Alcohol Dragster and Alcohol Funny Car.

Ed Renck in Terry Hudson’s “California Wolverine” at Fremont in 1976. Renck raced in Top Fuel and Pro Comp for many years and now drives a 200 mph roadster at Bonneville.

“Broadway Freddy” DeName at Beeline Dragway in 1977. DeName was probably drag racing’s closest connection to organized crime.

Richie Zul in the Reher & Morrison Monza at the 1977 Winternationals. Zul was a temporary replacement for Lee Shepherd after Shepherd crashed in 1976.

“Lil Joe” Nowocinski’s AA/DA at the 1977 March Meet. Long after most had abandoned the front-engine paradigm, Nowocinski and his small-block Chevy powered “Warsaw Express” continued to fight the battle in Pro Comp and Top Alcohol Dragster at least into the late ‘80s.

Ron Colson in Roland Leong’s “Hawaiian” at Irwindale in 1977. Leong was well known for the number of drivers he employed, but Colson lasted longer than most.

“Lil John” Lombardo at Irwindale in 1977. After a series of unusual paint jobs, this was probably the best looking car Lombardo ever had.

Gary Burgin’s “Orange Baron” at the 1977 Winton Finals.

Art Peterson’s “Indian Uprising” Super Stock GTO at the 1978 Winternationals. Art is still racing today and has been racing this same car for over 40 years.

Allan Patterson’s F/Modified Production Corvette at the 1978 Winternationals. Patterson went on to become one of the top sportsman engine builders and today, Patterson Engines are found in many Comp and Super Stock entries.

The “Vega Killer,” seen at Inyokern in 1978, redefines “short wheelbase.”

Chris Karamesines at the 1978 March Meet. Now 84 years young, Karamesines is still competing in Top Fuel on a limited schedule.

Bob Dell has half a car length on Doug Kerhulas at Fremont in 1978.

Les Shockley’s “Shockwave” jet dragster at Sacramento in 1978.

Harry Holton’s Super Stock Hemi ‘Cuda at Fremont in 1979. Holton was one of the top hemi engine builders for many years.

Bill Ranney’s “High Plains Drifter” AA/Fuel Altered at Tucson in 1979. After a few years campaigning the Fuel Altered, Ranney stepped out of the seat and ran a Funny Car with his son Mike driving.
