Why the Soo Locks are so important to our U.S. economy
The Soo Locks see almost 90 percent of the world's iron ore go through them. So again, why is this place, known as the Soo Locks, so important?

CDC changes school guidance, allowing desks to be closer
Three feet “gives school districts greater flexibility to have more students in for a prolonged period of time,” said Kevin Quinn, director of maintenance and facilities at Mundelein High School in suburban Chicago. In recent months, schools in some states have been disregarding the CDC guidelines, using 3 feet as their standard. Teachers and other adults should continue to stay 6 feet from one another and from students, the CDC said. The American Academy of Pediatrics says desks should be 3 feet apart and “ideally” 6 feet. AdThe CDC guidance was problematic for many schools that traditionally had 25, 30 or more children per classroom in closely grouped desks.
Don’t forget to spring forward! Daylight saving time begins Sunday
SAN ANTONIO – It’s that time of year again to spring forward! Daylight saving time is back, beginning Sunday. The official time change is at 2 a.m., Sunday, but for those who hit the hay earlier, it may be a good idea to set your clocks forward before going to bed. However, you’ll need to manually change the clocks on your car radio, oven, alarm clock and the other standalone clocks around your home. Not all states in the U.S. take part in daylight saving time.
Parliamentarian: COVID-19 bill must lose minimum wage hike
It will force Democrats to make politically painful choices about what to do next on the federal minimum wage, which has long caused internal party rifts. The proposal would gradually raise the federal minimum wage to $15 over five years, well over the $7.25 in effect since 2009. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona have voiced opposition to including the minimum wage hike in the relief bill, and other moderates have expressed concerns, too. But they’d still face the challenge of garnering 60 Senate votes, a hurdle that has upended Democratic attempts to boost the minimum wage for over a decade. But those same Senate rules prohibit provisions with only an “incidental” impact on the federal budget because they are chiefly driven by other policy purposes.
$1B Mega Millions prize a result of long odds, slow sales
It’s only the third time a lottery jackpot has grown so large, but much has changed since the last time such a big prize was up for grabs in 2018. After a peak in October 2018, Medenica said sales of the big lottery games dropped about 50%, prompting talk among lottery officials about jackpot fatigue. Sales of Mega Millions and Powerball continued to decline after the virus hit along with other lottery games, but while scratch tickets and other instant games rebounded strongly later in the year, national game sales remained moribund. By design, Mega Millions and Powerball are relatively generous in awarding small dollar prizes and lottery officials boast there is a roughly one in 24 chance of winning something. It’s hard to fathom how unlikely it is to beat odds of one in 292.2 million for Powerball or one in 302.5 million for Mega Millions.
Hard-luck Maryland town gets a $731.1 million Powerball win
Just who will collect the Powerball prize may never be known: Maryland is one of the states that allow winners to remain anonymous. The Powerball jackpot came only a day after nobody won the $970 million Mega Millions prize, the third-largest prize in U.S. history. The biggest prize was a $1.58 billion Powerball jackpot won by three people in 2016. Most winners opt for cash prizes, which for Mega Millions would be $716.3 million and $546.8 million for Wednesday's Powerball. After the Powerball win, the new jackpot has a $15 million cash value.

Americans are suffering from anxiety overload. Here’s what you can do about it.
ORLANDO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) – The holidays, online work and school, and the pandemic … it’s no wonder 40 million people says they are suffering from an anxiety overload.

A major event happening in the sky right now won’t be matched until 2080, experts say
A major event is happening in the sky this month, and it’s one that won’t be matched again until 2080, according to experts. The two largest planets in our solar system — Jupiter and Saturn — will engage in what is called a great conjunction. The two massive planets will be at their closest on Dec. 21, when they will be only 0.1 degrees apart. The last time there was a great conjunction was in 2000, but the planets were near the sun and difficult to observe. The great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn happens every 20 years, but because of the way the two planets orbit, astronomers predict the view of this year’s won’t be matched until 2080.

The census doesn’t count Arab Americans. That leaves some Texans feeling invisible.
Advocates say that subjects Arab Americans to a lack of political representation. However, the Arab American Institute estimates that number to be higher. Without an accurate count of their population, Arab Americans aren’t factored in during this part of the political process. Voting and language barriersIf Arab Americans had been granted their own category, they could have gained the “language minority group” status under the Voting Rights Act. Without specific population numbers from the Census Bureau, Arab communities in Texas may find it difficult to justify their need to these departments.

First COVID-19, now mosquitoes: Bracing for bug-borne illnesses
Doctors ultimately diagnosed the then-5-year-old Sudbury, Massachusetts, resident with eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), a rare but severe mosquito-borne virus that causes brain swelling. A resurgenceThe U.S. saw an unexpected resurgence of EEE last summer across 10 states: Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Rhode Island and Tennessee. Most years, the country sees just half a dozen cases of the virus in humans, the agency said. In Massachusetts and New Jersey, officials have already detected EEE in mosquitoes this year, the earliest on record in those states. That, along with last year's widespread cases, strongly suggests the territory of EEE-carrying mosquitoes is expanding, according to Brown.
