AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Austin City Limits has joined the ranks of major music festivals that have been canceled because of the coronavirus. Festival organizers said in a statement Wednesday that scrapping the three-day October event was "the only responsible solution." "Austin City Limits Music Festival will no longer take place in 2020," organizers said in the statement. "We would have loved to put on another memorable show this year, however, with the uncertainty surrounding the current situation in Texas, this decision is the only responsible solution. The health and safety of our fans, artists, partners, staff, and the entire Austin community remain our highest priority."Organizers said they plan to celebrate their 20th anniversary at next year's festival in October.The announcement comes as Texas reported a record daily high of nearly 7,000 new coronavirus cases on Tuesday and Republican Gov. Greg Abbott urges people to stay home. The festival is one of the largest in the country. The Coachella music festival in California and Bonnaroo festival in Tennessee will also not take place this year. 1120

Attention homeowners: if you haven't refinanced in the past year, you may want to think about it.Mortgage rates have dipped to a new low for the 11th time this year.This time, they're at the lowest point they've been since Freddie Mac started tracking rates almost 50 years ago.The national average for a fixed 30-year mortgage is 2.8%, and 2.33% for a 15-year mortgage.That's great news for people who are already in homes and want to stay there, but it won't help most buyers.Home prices are up an average of 15% over last year, as the inventory of available homes continues to fall. 593

ATLANTA, Ga. – The head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the United States could get the coronavirus pandemic under control in one to two months if all Americans wear face coverings in public spaces.CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield made the statement during an interview with the Journal of the American Medical Association, or JAMA, on Tuesday.“I think the data is clearly there that masking works,” Redfield told JAMA. “I think that if we can get everybody to wear a mask right now, I really do think that over the next four, six, eight weeks, we can bring this epidemic under control.”Redfield’s comments coincided with the release of two case studies that show how wearing face coverings can significantly reduce the transmission of the coronavirus.One of the studies, from JAMA, showed that a Boston hospital system reversed the infection trajectory among its employees and patients by adhering to universal masking policies.In the second study, the CDC highlighted how wearing a mask prevented the spread of infection from two hair stylists to their customers in Missouri.“Among 139 clients exposed to two symptomatic hair stylists with confirmed COVID-19 while both the stylists and the clients wore face masks, no symptomatic secondary cases were reported; among 67 clients tested for SARS-CoV-2, all test results were negative,” wrote the CDC. “Adherence to the community’s and company’s face-covering policy likely mitigated spread of SARS-CoV-2.”Experts say the virus that causes COVID-19 is thought to mainly spread from person to person, mainly through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks.“These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs,” writes the CDC. “Spread is more likely when people are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).”In an editorial published by JAMA, the CDC affirmed that cloth face coverings are a critical tool to help stop this kind of spread.“We are not defenseless against COVID-19,” said Redfield. “Cloth face coverings are one of the most powerful weapons we have to slow and stop the spread of the virus – particularly when used universally within a community setting. All Americans have a responsibility to protect themselves, their families, and their communities.”The U.S. continues to lead the world in the number of COVID-19 cases, with nearly 3.5 million infections reported as of Thursday morning, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University.Click here to learn more about COVID-19 from the CDC. 2600

AUSTIN, Texas -- Voting is a critical part of the democratic process.“That’s the way our democracy is supposed to work. As citizens, we have the right to vote, but it’s also a responsibility of citizenship,” Travis County Voter Registrar Bruce Elfant said.Before you can vote, you have to register. Elfant says he’s proud of the participation this election season in Travis County, Texas, where Austin is located.“We’re very excited," Elfant said. "This year, we hit 97% of all eligible citizens are now registered to vote and that is a high mark for us.”It’s not just a high mark, it’s a record for the county. Considering the median age is 34, many of those who registered were young adults.At the University of Texas at Austin, located in Travis County, both Democrat and Republican students have been working hard to register their peers. Grant Rommel is the Chapter President of University of Texas College Republicans.“Both political parties are going to want to get the vote out as much as possible to make sure that they have a secured win," Rommel said. "It’s really created kind of a race to see who can register more voters and it’s really exciting to see that because we’re getting everybody to participate and be involved.”Alexandra Evans is the President of University Democrats at UT Austin. She says she’s been telling fellow students that voting is a right many people have fought for. She hopes to convince others that their vote truly does count.“When our generation turns out, we get people who actually represent our interests and we don’t have to settle,” Evans said.The recent pattern of young adults actively participating in elections could bring results we have yet to see in our democracy.“Typically the younger voter is the less likely voter," Elfant said. "As far as I’ve been around, that’s been the case. But in 2018, we saw that starting to change and I think we’re seeing it change more this year.”“Young people forever really, I mean even since the voting age was lowered to 18, have had the lowest turnout rates of any voting age group,” Democracy Fellow Tova Wang said.Wang is a Democracy Fellow at the Ash Center at the Harvard Kennedy School. For 20 years, she’s been researching voter suppression tactics and ways to increase voter participation. She says politicians don’t usually speak to the needs of younger generations, but this, year she says young adults are demanding change.“They have a very strong sense of wanting to have their voices heard on climate, social justice, economic justice, and I am not surprised that in addition to taking to the streets and social media, they’re now making their voices heard through the ballot,” Wang said.Evans says that 97% voter registration is proof hard work pays off, especially since she says the process of registering to vote is more complicated in Texas compared to other states.“It’s such a convoluted system," Evans said. "It’s very frustrating.”She says she has to balance getting adults enthusiastic about voting while also explaining the lengthy process of registering. According to Elfant, 40 states allow people to register online, but that’s not the case in Texas.“We’re still a paper-based system," Elfant said. "You have to find a voter registration card, you have to fill it out, you may have to turn it in, you may have to find a stamp and an envelope. That’s the way the process works and young people don’t really work that way anymore, and 40 other states don’t work that way.”Evans adds college students move a lot and may not understand they need to register at a new address.“And if you miss like a signature, or they can’t decipher one number, sometimes your whole voter registration can get messed up and that’s really frustrating and discouraging,” Evans said.Nonetheless, it’s clear that won’t stop them in Travis County.“Especially in general election years, the contentiousness of it gets really high and it seems that this one is extremely high compared to others,” Rommel said.Both Rommel and Evans say they’d like to see the momentum of young adults voting continue into the future.“When we keep voting, we can make sure that people know – that politicians know – that their job to represent us is not being taken lightly, it’s not being taken lightly, and we’re watching them,” Evans said.“This generation is going to be a force to be reckoned with,” Wang said. 4390

AUGUSTA, Maine – Republican U.S. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine has won the hardest-fought race of her career, turning back a challenge by Democrat Sara Gideon and surviving to serve a fifth term.Collins, one of four candidates on the ballot, won a majority of first-place votes. That meant no additional tabulation rounds were necessary under Maine’s ranked choice voting system.Gideon has conceded, telling supporters on Wednesday that she called Collins and congratulated her on the win.Collins long touted herself in the fiercely independent state as a bipartisan centrist who’s willing to work with both parties to get things done.But opponents accused her of being an enabler of President Donald Trump, citing her votes to confirm Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and for tax cuts that critics said favored the rich. 832
