The Orange, a top program for four decades under Jim Boeheim, once again showed they're just as dangerous as an NCAA Tournament afterthought. Now they're heading to Jim Boeheim's 20th Sweet 16, thanks to his 6-foot-6, sweet-shooting son. They have advanced to the Sweet 16 each time theyโve been given a double-digit seeding, reaching the Final Four as a 10 in 2016 and the Sweet 16 as an 11 in 2018.
California to give 40% of vaccine doses to vulnerable areas
(AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes, File)SACRAMENTO, Calif. โ California will begin setting aside 40% of all vaccine doses for the stateโs most vulnerable neighborhoods in an effort to inoculate people most at risk from the coronavirus and get the stateโs economy open more quickly. The doses will be spread out among 400 ZIP codes with about 8 million people eligible for shots. The areas are considered most vulnerable based on metrics such as household income, education level, housing status and access to transportation. Once the state gives out 4 million doses in those neighborhoods, it will revise the metrics for getting into the even less restrictive orange and yellow tiers. Yet community health clinics focused on serving low-income and vulnerable Californians say they haven't been getting enough doses.
