Now that personal computers have been a part of everyday life for about 30 years, computer viruses aren't as mysterious as they once were. Simply put, a virus is a kind of malware that has the ability to replicate itself. Once activated, it can install itself on a computer, infecting the PC and enabling the virus to continue to spread to other computers.
Depending upon its payload, the virus can have no other effect on the PC other than copying itself, or it can be designed to cause a wide variety of damages anything from holding the files on the computer for ransom (this is called ransomware) to deleting files, crippling Windows, or turning the computer into a resource for hackers to conduct distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
Viruses have been around for decades (the first virus was created in 1971) and is so synonymous with the concept of malware that some people refer to any malware as a virus. That's not really true there are many kinds of malware, and viruses are just one.
Unlike other kinds of malware, a virus lies dormant until it's activated it's unable to execute itself on its own. (This is in contrast to a worm, for example, which can execute on its own with no human intervention. That means you might accidentally download a virus to your PC, but it won't do anything until you run the file or open the document it's embedded in.
At that time, the virus' code is activated, it can execute its payload, which might include stealing passwords, emailing itself to the contacts in your address book, or taking over your PC in a ransom attack.
There are a number of different kinds of viruses you can be infected with. While this might seem unimportant why should it matter since you're already infected it's important to know since each virus can affect your PC differently. Here are the most common varieties:
The symptoms of a computer virus can vary dramatically because not all viruses are engineered to do the same thing. But if you are concerned you are infected with a virus, here are some things to watch for:
If your PC runs much more slowly than it used to, a virus can be using your PC's resources.
Many viruses are poorly written and can cause a lot of unexpected crashes and failures.
You might start to see unusual pop-up windows in your web browser or elsewhere. They might be requests to go to websites, or your browser might open windows to other websites without your permission. Ironically, many viruses also open pop-up windows asking you to install antivirus software, which is additional malicious software.
You might see programs you don't recall installing starting up with Windows.
This is a sign the virus is trying to replicate itself through your contacts.
The good news is that viruses pose a small shadow of the risk they once posed in the 1990s and 2000s. Thanks to dramatic improvements Microsoft made to Windows, large-scale virus infections are much less common than they were a decade or two ago, and few people ever encounter viruses when using computers for normal, routine tasks. Even so, it pays to be vigilant by following these tips:
Make sure your computer's operating system is up to date with the latest Windows and security updates.
This can include the security software built into Windows 10 or a third-party antivirus app. Regardless of what you choose, one of the main reasons people don't have to worry about viruses today is because they're automatically protected by Windows and anti-malware software. Disable those protections, and you've thrown yourself back to 2005.
You've no doubt heard this advice before, but that's because it's so important: Never click anything you don't trust. That includes both links and attachments in email if you don't know the sender, or if the email's legitimacy seems questionable don't open anything inside it. The same is true for following links on websites of questionable quality.

Former President Obama tookaim at the threat of online misinformation in a recent interview, but he stopped short of casting blame entirely on the heads of tech companies for the rising threats.
Obamasadministrationhad a much friendlier relationship with Silicon Valleythan President TrumpDonald John TrumpRomney on Trump election tactics: 'Difficult to imagine a worse, more undemocratic action' by president New York expands Trump tax fraud investigations to include writeoffs: report Biden promises federal government will pay for National Guard coronavirus work: 'That should be paid for' MOREs. But the former presidentpointed to a shifting online landscape, telling The Atlantic in an interview published Monday that misinformation is the single biggest threat to our democracy.
I dont hold the tech companies entirely responsible, because this predates social media. It was already there. But social media has turbocharged it, Obama said.
He did voice support for some form of increased regulation and further accountability for tech companies, though he did not detail what that reform should look like.
The degree to which these companies are insisting that they are more like a phone company than they are like The Atlantic, I do not think is tenable. They are making editorial choices, whether theyve buried them in algorithms or not. The First Amendment doesnt require private companies to provide a platform for any view that is out there, Obama said.
At the end of the day, were going to have to find a combination of government regulations and corporate practices that address this, because its going to get worse, he added.
Obamas comments more broadly addressed the political media landscape, which he said has had a pretty drastic change since his 2008 election.
I think Donald Trump is a creature of this, but he did not create it. He may be an accelerant of it, but it preceded him and will outlast him, Obama said.
Part of the common narrative was a function of the three major networks and a handful of papers that were disproportionately influential,he added. You cant put the genie back in the bottle. Youre not going to eliminate the internet; youre not going to eliminate the thousand stations on the air with niche viewerships designed for every political preference. Without this it becomes very difficult for us to tackle big things.
Tech giants have faced increased scrutiny from both sidesof the aisle in recent years.
Republicans havemade allegations that tech companies have an anti-conservative bias andaccused companies ofcensorship, while Democrats' criticism has largely targeted companies for not doing enough to tackle misinformation or the spread of hate speech online.
Trump issued an executive order in May targeting Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which grants a legal liability shield for companies against third-party content posted on their platforms.
Democratic President-elect Joe BidenJoe BidenRomney on Trump election tactics: 'Difficult to imagine a worse, more undemocratic action' by president Biden promises federal government will pay for National Guard coronavirus work: 'That should be paid for' House committee chairs demand briefing from GSA head on presidential transition MORE earlier this year said Section 230 should be revoked immediately, though he has argued against the law for vastly different reasons than Trump. Biden, like other Democrats, has argued tech companies have not done enough to fight misinformation on their platforms.

With voters approval and the bond process set in motion, the Saginaw Public Schools athletic department is ready to plan for a new athletic landscape for the 2023-24 school year.
But Saginaw athletic director Mit Foley says the district does not want to wait until 2023 before making some changes.
If the Michigan High School Athletic Association grants a waiver, the Saginaw High and Arthur Hill varsity football teams will merge to form a co-op program for the 2021-22 season.
Weve already begun the process, Foley said. Were already co-oping baseball, bowling, cross country, golf, softball, tennis and wrestling. We did a co-op for the JV football team for the 2020 school year.
Were trying to ascend back to exceptional levels for our athletic programs. We want to make sure we have the numbers. Were trying to build our programs. We want our kids to be safe when theyre out there playing. A lot of the numbers were not where we wanted to them to be. We want to be competitive. We want to give our kids every conceivable opportunity to compete. Thats why were accelerating this.
There are some roadblocks to approval. The MHSAA allows co-ops with few restrictions for every sport but basketball and football. The association does not allow co-ops for varsity football and basketball if the combined enrollment of the schools eclipses 1,000 students.
In the current count, Arthur Hill has 757 students with Saginaw High adding 456 for a total of 1,213. The next count date is Feb. 10, 2021.
But the potential merger has some extenuating circumstances that could help its case. The Saginaw Valley League, which includes Saginaw High and Arthur Hill, unanimously approved the co-op and sent a letter to the MHSAA in support of the merger.
Also, the planned, eventual merger of the teams in 2023 could also help convince the MHSAA executive council to grant a waiver for 2021, as could the inability for either school to field competitive teams in their current situations.
In the past 10 years, Arthur Hill is 11-77, including three winless seasons. The Lumberjacks have not had a winning season since 2008. In the past 10 years, Saginaw High is 19-69, with two winless seasons. The Trojans last winning season came in 2003.
Our goal is to get the co-op approved for next year, even though when you get to football and basketball and you get to enrollment over 1,000, they generally dont approve, Foley said. Were hopeful that theyll look at it in the light that we werent competitive and that the SVL voted unanimously and wrote a letter of support for our co-op.
Saginaw Public Schools director of facilities Tim Furtaw said that little construction or physical work will begin for the next six to eight months.
At this point, with the bond just passing, were in the planning stages, Furtaw said. In the first six to eight months, we will be planning, finalizing the designs and things like that so blueprints can be drawn up. There will be six to eight months of planning before any shovel goes in the dirt.
We expect to be able to move kids within the buildings for the remodels that will take place at Saginaw High and Arthur Hill. As far as the new high school being built, we anticipate there will be room for the students at SASA.
Plans are to build a new high school for Arthur Hill and Saginaw High students at the current Saginaw Arts & Sciences Academy campus at 1903 Niagara. The plans include a new football stadium and gymnasium.
The current Arthur Hill campus at 3115 Mackinaw will house a new school for SASA and for Handley Elementary, with Arthur Hill Memorial Stadium remodeled for soccer and lacrosse.
Memorial Stadium will be restored, Furtaw said. It will be converted for use for SASA, so it will more than likely be a soccer field and lacrosse field but it will be restored.
The plans call to convert Saginaw High, 3100 Webber, into a middle school.
The facilities will be converted over to middle-school usage, Furtaw said. The bleachers at the football field need to be replaced or torn down and set up for middle-school size. Plans are to refurbish a couple of the ballfields. Were still in the planning stages, but it will probably include demolishing some of the high school.
Foley said there have been no decisions made as far as colors, coaches and names for the new school and teams.
The basketball teams will remain separate until the 2023-24 school year, although this season will create some challenges for fans because of COVID-19 restrictions. Foley said the district installed Pixellot cameras in the Saginaw High and Arthur Hill gyms, giving fans the ability to stream the games live on the National Federation of High Schools network.
Plans are for the completion of the new buildings and fields when students report for the 2023-24 school year.
The goal will be that all students move at the same time, Furtaw said. It will be a day for every Saginaw supporter and resident to come out and cheer.

When an excited member of her faculty came to the president of St. Marys College with slave shackles donated to the school, Tuajuanda C. Jordan paused, her heart heavy.
You always know that theres that history here, said Jordan, the first Black woman to serve as president of St. Marys College of Maryland. But, in my heart of hearts or naivete I had hoped that St Marys did not have an association with slavery.
Then, in 2016, the college discovered the remains of slave quarters on campus during an archaeological dig ahead of constructing a new stadium.
It was a sad day, but it also occurred to us that it was an opportunity to do something special because St. Marys does have an involvement with slavery, she said. It became clear to me that there was a piece of the narrative missing.

YOU MAY THINK YOU'RE NOT A RACIST. BUT THAT'S NOT ENOUGH
That piece will be revealed Nov. 21 during a virtual dedication of the new Commemorative to Enslaved Peoples of Southern Maryland. The memorial, titled "From Absence to Presence," features erasure poetry when a poet takes existing text and erases or obscures portions of the text, creating aentirely new work from what remains including historical documents related to the Mackall-Broome plantation, one of three known plantations near St. Mary's City on a structure inspired by "ghost frame" cabin architecture.
Its a deliberate invocation, a call to remember that there were those who walked this land before we did and that their lives should be memorialized, that their suffering should be understood, that their contributions should no longer be invisible, said Garrey Dennie, an associate professor of African and African Diaspora studies.
The findings didn't come as a complete surprise to Julia King, a professor in the anthropology department, considering the history of the area. Many residents of Southern Maryland supported the Confederacy during the Civil War, despite the state siding with the Union, and the region had a sizable population of enslaved people in addition to a free Black population. About20 miles north of St. Mary's is the historic Sotterley Plantation.

But not much was known about the lives of enslaved people in St. Mary's, which is known for being the birthplace of religious freedom, and the recent findings revealed a deeper diversity in the lives of enslaved people than previously understood.
"Slavery and enslavement had been erased from this landscape and this archeology actually jumpstarted that conversation in a way that became really productive," King said. "Slavery was really what underpinned the development of this region and there is no real monument, no real public monument" to enslaved people, she added.
The site, which appeared to be abandoned by the 1820s, also correlates with an interesting chapter of the country's history, according to King. During the War of 1812, British Admiral George Cockburn sailed along the East Coast near the British-occupied Chesapeake Bay, encouraging enslaved people to defect in return for their freedom. About 19 enslaved people from the St. Marys area reportedly defected, raising the possibility that these abandoned quarters were once their home.
One way to think about it is that the archeology revealed with a kind of texture, things which we already knew but not in that level of detail, said Dennie. A crucial point is that to a significant degree the African American experience disappeared from the consciousness of following generations and the archeology revealed it.
The structure, designed by Shane Allbritton and Norman Lee, incorporates poetry by Quenton Baker that includes language from slave property advertisements, runaway slave advertisements, newspaper articles and slave depositions of the Mackall-Broome family. At night, the words, etched in glass, will be illuminated by light from within the structure and the poetry will be projected onto the ground in a star-like pattern found on some of the ceramic artifacts recovered from the site.
It is like nothing you have ever seen before, it's also like nothing you've ever seen in St. Marys County before, said Jordan.
This year, the Black Lives Matter movement and demonstrations against police violence have reignited conversations around the countrys history of slavery. Now, after statues of racist slave owners and Confederate leaders were taken down around Maryland and the country, a memorial will go up, representing the millions of Africans torn from their homes and enslaved in the United States and other parts of the world.
"I hope that it makes people think about what does that mean for our history and how is this perpetuated in what goes on today and how can we compel the country to be better," said Jordan, pointing out the power of the memorial's design. "It is made out of polished steel. It reflects. It reflects yourself and history and makes you look at yourself."

There is a shutdown scheduled for a portion of the Metro Silver Line this weekend. In Virginia, overnight roadwork will cause stops on Interstate 66 and lane closures on the Beltway. And in the District, there will be a closure this weekend on South Capitol Street and the Suitland Parkway.
There is a shutdown scheduled for a portion of Metros Silver Line this weekend. In Virginia, overnight roadwork will cause stops on Interstate 66 and lane closures on the Capital Beltway. And in the District, there will be a closure this weekend on South Capitol Street and the Suitland Parkway.
Heres what to know about transit in the D.C. region this weekend.
Virginia
At night on the Beltway between Route 7 and Route 29 (Lee Highway), there will be three lanes closed for bridge construction and lane shifts, which are scheduled through 5 a.m. Saturday, weather permitting.
In Fairfax through Prince William counties, motorists continue to weed through the ever-changing landscape of roadwork and ramp reconfigurations that make up the Transform 66 Outside the Beltway Project.
This week is no different, but with help from the Virginia Department of Transportation, were going to simplify these changes as much as possible.
Starting out in Fairfax, there has been overnight work this week thats scheduled into Saturday morning and will reduce travel on I-66 before and after Route 123 to a single lane, with periodic stops of 10 minutes at a time.
The work, which is weather-dependent, is scheduled to continue nightly until about 4:30 a.m. Saturday.
Also, the new permanent ramp from Route 28 north to I-66 east will open on or about Friday morning. Drivers on Route 28 north will stay to the right to access I-66 east using the new ramp.
There will also be a temporary new ramp implemented on Saturday for drivers exiting I-66 east at Nutley Street northbound. This change will allow pavement rehabilitation to advance for the new I-66 east general-purpose lanes while crews prepare to reconstruct the Nutley Street interchange.
In Gainesville through 8 a.m. Saturday, I-66 east between Route 29 (Lee Highway) and Route 234 (Prince William Parkway) will have three right lanes closed overnight for barrier relocations.
The ramp from I-66 east to Route 234 will be closed, with traffic diverted farther east for a detour at Route 234 (Business Sudley Road). This ramp closure is scheduled to happen again overnight Saturday into Sunday as well.
Also, with this work into Saturday morning, the ramp from Route 29 north to I-66 east in Gainesville will be reduced to one lane as crews implement a traffic shift.
For travel on I-66 west overnight until 9 a.m. Saturday, there will be only a single lane getting by between Bull Run and Route 234 (Business Sudley Road) for pavement markings and lane shifts.
And the ramp from I-66 west to Route 234 (Sudley Road) will be closed, with a detour posted for traffic to head south for a U-turn. In both directions of I-66 between Cub Run and the Manassas Rest Area, two lanes will remain closed overnight through 6 a.m. Saturday for bridge work.
In Centreville, I-66 east near Compton Road, just west of Route 29, will have scheduled overnight lane closures through about 5 a.m. Sunday for bridge work. The ramp from I-66 east to Route 29 will be closed and detoured farther east to Route 286 (Fairfax County Parkway).
There is also overnight work scheduled for Route 28 through Saturday morning between I-66 and Ellanor C. Lawrence Park, with lane and ramp closures for bridge work.
Motorists can expect a single lane open through 6 a.m. near the Braddock-Walney Road overpass and northbound from Old Centreville Road to I-66. The northbound closure is scheduled overnights through 6 a.m. Sunday as crews implement a new ramp opening.
The ramp from Route 28 north to eastbound I-66 is closed nightly through 5 a.m. Sunday, with a detour that takes motorists farther north turn around at Westfields Boulevard.
The ramp from Route 29 (Lee Highway) to Route 28 north will also be closed overnight and detoured through Sunday morning, with motorists pushed farther south to the I-66/Route 29 interchange.
As always, not all work associated with these extensive projects will be listed here. Be sure to stay tuned to WTOP with traffic on the 8s. And if you see something thats not being reported, you can call us at 866-304-WTOP.
Maryland
The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will be detouring travel off MD-355 Urbana Pike for a bridge replacement on Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Crews will switch traffic from MD-355 between Campus Drive and Big Woods Road to a new temporary roadway for work over Bennett Creek in Frederick County. Motorists can expect single-lane closures during the switch, and there will be flaggers directing the alternating, single lane of traffic.
In Baltimore, theres a new configuration to the ongoing rehabilitation of the I-895 Harbor Tunnel Thruway.
This weekend will see yet another change to the project with a switch to having two-way traffic on the new southbound bridge at Holabird Avenue as the northbound bridge joints are finished before the four-lane reopening.
Weather permitting, of course, this switch is scheduled to happen Friday, Nov. 20. As part of the transition, the Holabird Avenue exit ramp from the northbound bridge will be temporarily closed.
The ongoing 24/7 two-way traffic pattern in the southbound tube of the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel will be lifted on the evening of Nov. 24 for Thanksgiving weekend.
In Anne Arundel County, the work on I-97 in both directions between MD-3 and MD-174 for pavement repairs will continue to see lane shifts and closures overnights between 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., Sunday through Thursday nights; and daily single lane closures from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
On the Baltimore-Washington Parkway at MD-410 Riverdale Road, inside of the Beltway, there is ongoing work scheduled, with possible lane closures and ramps affected daily between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. This is work connected to the construction of the Maryland Transit Administrations Purple Line.
Crews will also be resurfacing Riverdale Road (MD 410) between the Baltimore-Washington Parkway (MD 295) and Veterans Parkway (MD 410) daily from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with temporary lane closures possible.
In Frederick, there will continue to be work on southbound I-270 between CSX railroad bridge and MD-80 (Fingerboard Road) for patching. There is scheduled to be single lane closures overnights from 7 p.m. to 4 a.m. from Sunday night through Friday mornings through the end of the month.
The off-peak weekend work is scheduled to continue on the Capital Beltways Outer Loop over the Northwest Branch Bridge between MD-650 New Hampshire Ave and MD-193 University Boulevard in Montgomery County.
The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) is scheduling this work, weather permitting, into the end of the year.
Motorists through this stretch of the Beltway could see intermittent closures of one, two and three lanes during off-peak hours, which will cause delays.
Monday through Thursday, 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Weekends from 9 p.m. on Friday through 5 a.m. Monday.
D.C.
The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will close all lanes on northbound South Capitol Street, SE at Potomac Avenue, SE this weekend. Northbound traffic crossing the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge will be channeled into the right lane before Potomac Avenue, SE.
All traffic will turn right onto Potomac Avenue, SE, then follow First Street, SE and M Street, SE back to northbound South Capitol Street, SE.
This closure is a result of the reconstruction of the I-295/Suitland Parkway interchange associated with the South Capitol Street Corridor Project, which includes construction of the New Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge.
There will also be full closures of the Suitland Parkway SE this weekend between Firth Sterling Avenue and South Capitol Street in the overnight hours into the weekend and on Saturday from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. weather permitting.
There will be detours posted, and if unforeseen issues arise, the Saturday full closure could be pushed into Sunday.
Metro
There will continue to be regularly scheduled routine maintenance on Metrorail on the weekends. This weekend will see a shutdown on the Silver Line and single tracking after 10 p.m. for the Green and Yellow Lines.
The Silver Line will have track tie work closing the Wiehle Reston East Station, with buses replacing trains between Spring Hill and Wiehle Reston East.

One quarter of the first batch of units in the new Capitol Hill Stationmixed-use development have been leased, as of early this month, according to the complexs general manager.
The major project above the light rail transit station has been seen as a key development for the neighborhood creating hundreds of new homes and thousands of square feet of new commercial space on Broadway. The COVID-19 crisis has delayed construction but the new, mostly market-rate apartments are finally hitting that market.
110 affordable units in the Station House development on the northeast area above the station opened earlier this year and faced high demand.
More than two years after the projects groundbreaking across the street from Cal Anderson Park, which included a ribbon cutting from Mayor Jenny Durkan, the leasing process on the first 94 units of 400-plus on Broadway started in mid-September amid the coronavirus pandemic, general manager Kristin Lipp told CHS.

The remaining units in the developments other buildings will be open for leasing in February, according to Lipp. One-bedroom market-rate units under 600 square feet are currently listed online for $2,150 per month.
UPDATE: CHS reached out to developer Gerding Edlen to ask more about the development and the impacts of COVID-19 and the ongoing unrest around Cal Anderson and the East Precinct but the Portland-based company did not reply to multiple inquiries. Lipp also declined to provide more information and context about the situation.
The project has had to adapt some of its leasing process in recent months, with staggered tours to allow more time in between for cleaning and virtual options to get a lay of the land. Individuals involved with the project did not answer questions on how the coronavirus pandemic has affected their leasing.
Coronavirus has shaken the local housing market, with rents down 14% since March, according to data from ApartmentList. The median one-bedroom apartment rents for just under $1,500 and two-bedrooms for $1,849. Rents have been going down for months and they were down 4.2% between September and October.
Seattle is obviously not alone in seeing rents plummet, with New York City down over 15% and San Francisco down a staggering 21.7% since March, according to ApartmentList.
Meanwhile, local apartment buildings are also giving more concessions to renters, such as a month of free rent. Over 70% of large Seattle-area buildings constructed since 2017 are giving such deals to leasers, according to The Seattle Times. For example, the Capitol Hill Station developers are advertising two months of free rent on some units to prospective tenants.
14th Aves REO Flats, for example, is touting two rent-free months, a waived deposit and application fee, and $500 off move-in costs. The Capitol Hill Station development is offering a similar deal on select units.
Gov. Jay Inslee, meanwhile, announced in early October that the statewide moratorium on evictions would be extended to the end of the year as financial pressures continue stemming from the pandemic. This updated order added a freeze on residential rents, but allows evictions for property damage to continue.
The City of Seattle, specifically, has its own moratorium similar to the one at the state level that Durkan extended in August through the end of 2020.
There were still 38 eviction filings in King County courts in October, according to the King County Bar Associations Housing Justice Project. Thats up from eight in April and 10 in both May and June. The number has been steadily rising in the summer months and into the fall, with October seeing the most filings, per the projects data. These figures have been previously reported by PubliCola.
Of the 145 evictions since the Housing Justice Project tracked pandemic trends, the zip codes with the most have been in suburbs like Kent and Auburn, but 98122 which includes the Central District, Madrona, and much of Capitol Hill has seen seven evictions. To its south, 98144 has also had six.
Of the eviction reasons, 83 were for tenants violating their lease or misbehavior, 43 were because the owner wanted to either sell the property or occupy it, seven were for unauthorized occupants, and five were for nonpayment of rent. Inslee added an exemption to his moratorium in June that allowed landlords to give 60-days notice to tenants that they plan to sell the unit or live in it.
So far in November, there have been 13 eviction filings in King County, according to the Housing Justice Project.
Sound Transitopened the U-Link extension and the new station below Broadwayin March 2016. In August 2016, Sound Transit signeda 99-year leasewith Gerding Edlen to developthe properties it had acquiredsurrounding the station.The Portland-based developer is leading the project with designs fromHewittandSchemata Workshop.Berger Partnershipis landscape architect for the entire site and part of the design super team working on the Capitol Hill Station development project.Community Roots Housing developed and operates the affordable housing component of the projects. CHS reported here on the20 years of community engagement it took to make the development a reality.
At Capitol Hill Station now, the marketing is focused on living in proximity to a bustling transit station in the middle of a busy neighborhood.
The smaller, building off Broadway and looking out into Cal Anderson Park is considered the luxury option and is being marketed as Park:

President-elect Joe Biden said "more people may die" without cooperation from the Trump administration on COVID vaccine distribution. USA TODAY
WASHINGTON Joe Biden and John McCain were having it out on national television nearly thirty years ago, bitterly debating U.S. involvement in the conflict in Bosnia, when the dispute veered into the kind of personal exchange common in todays politics.
John, are you saying air strikes would not help the people in Srebrenica right now? Is that what you're telling me? Biden, then a Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said as he pressed McCain, the Arizona Republican who died in 2018.
I have not the foggiest notion as to what McCain said before Biden cut him off.
I know you don't.
It was the kind of verbal brawl that, in 2020, might blow up on Twitter, feature in a fundraising email and leave a bruise. But a longtime confidant of McCain said the 1993 bout with Biden on CBS and others like it over the years werent as personal as they seemed, largelybecause of the relationship the two colleagues had forged.
More: In meeting with Biden, emergency workers plead for COVIDequipment
More: A spiraling COVID-19 crisis will confront Biden on day one. Whats his plan?
Now President-elect Biden hopes the relationships he built during a career in the Senate will help him transcend partisanship and push an ambitious agenda through Congress a coronavirus stimulus, an investment in infrastructure, a comprehensive immigration bill and changes to the U.S. health care system.
Skepticism runs high about whether the former vice president's history can translate to the post-Trump era.But even veteran political hands from both parties say they havent given up entirely on the idea that relationships still matter in Washington.
He gets the benefit of the doubt, said Mark Salter, thelongtime McCain aide.People will still go to their corners on ideological issues but when youre trying to get stuff done that has to get done I think thats still a real asset that Biden has.

Biden is beginning to build a wish list for Capitol Hill even as President Donald Trump is disputing the election results with a series of challenges legal experts describe as questionable. Trumps unfounded claims of victory as well as two Senate runoff electionsin Georgia in January have muddied Bidens chances of moving legislation.
Underscoring the current landscape, its not clear whether Biden and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have even spoken since the election. The two were able to broker deals together during the Obama administration, but McConnell has so far declined to publicly acknowledge Bidens win while Trump continues his fight.
More: Biden, McConnell have brokered deals in the Senate: Can they do so again?
Former Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, a Republican who endorsed Biden, said McConnell's silence is predictable given the pressure he's under from his own GOP caucus and constituencyback in Kentucky.
"There are political realities and currents that McConnell's got to deal with," Hagel said. "But I don't think any of this will affect what happens after Jan. 20 when Biden and McConnell and other leaders in Congress have the responsibility to govern.
McConnell aides declined to answer questions about Biden's agenda.
A Biden transition official speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal strategy acknowledged aides are developing two different visions for the incoming president's first 100 days in office, one in which Democrats claim control of the Senate after the runoffs in Georgia, and a less ambitious plan if they do not.
Biden himself acknowledged as much in a call this week.

Were going to run into some real brick walls initially in the Senate unless were able to turn around Georgia and pick up those two seats, but even then its going to be hard, Biden said during a private call, according to multiple reports. But I believe, I believe I know the place. I believe we can ultimately bring it together.
Some Democrats in Congress share the concern.
"I'm unfortunately pessimistic on seeing a lot of bills move because of Mitch McConnell, just based on past experience, said Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis. co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
Like other progressives, Pocan predicted Biden would have to rely on executive orders to accomplish at least some of his goals. Both Trump and President Barack Obama also leaned heavily on those orderswhen they couldnt get Congress to take up their priorities. That often meant judges not lawmakers had the final say on the policies.
But before Biden can even get to legislation, hell have to win Senate confirmation for his Cabinet a process that could serve as an early test of his ability to maneuver in Washington.

Supporters say Biden has an advantage his recent predecessors did not. While neither Trump nor Obama relished wading into the personal politics of Capitol Hill, Biden made a career out of it. Its how he was able to cut deals with McConnell during the 2013 fiscal cliff crisis, the debt-ceiling crisis of 2011 and the battle over Bush tax cuts in 2010.
Ted Kaufman, a longtime Biden ally who is leading the president elects transition, said the former vice presidents fundamental approach to making deals hasnt changed, and predicted the recipe would be effective even if Republicans retain control of the Senate.
Bidens playbook, Kaufman told USA TODAY, rests on walking through legislation line by line, if needed and building trust, including with political adversaries.

More: Biden names top White House appointees, including Rep. Cedric Richmond
Youve got to have trust to get these things done, Kaufman said. Sometimes people will negotiate and then there will be implications in a bill that they did not understand and may be hard for them back home. You have to have kind of the inner ability to realize that once you make a deal, its a deal. Joe Biden thats the way hes always been.
As part of that trust building, Kaufman predicted that the incoming Biden administration wouldnt look to spring unexpected policy proposals on Capitol Hill. Instead, Kaufman said, transition officials are building out a policy agenda based on Bidens campaign promises, which included a focus on COVID, immigration and infrastructure.
Kaufman brushed aside a question on whether McConnell's reticence to acknowledge Bidens election victory this month could harm the atmosphere for bipartisan deal making.
He doesnt hold grudges, Kaufman said of Biden.

Its been a little over a decade since Biden played a pivotal role in helping Obama get a $787 billion economic stimulus through Congress in 2009, a deal that helped pull the nation out of the Great Recession. But much has changed in the Senate since then.
Biden, then vice president, managed to convince Sen. Arlen Specter, a Pennsylvania Republican who would switch to the Democratic Party months later, to vote for the bill along with GOP Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine.Since then, many of the centrists from both parties have left, often complaining that the incentives and personal relations that made deals possible were beginning to ebb.
Hagel, who also served as defense secretary from 2013 to 2015under the Obama administration, said the president-elect'sdeal-making abilityis more relevantin the post-Trump era. Biden's leadership will improve on the partisan environment that hasmarked the Trump administration, Hagel said, and restore the relationship between a president and Congress.
"I think you're going to find Biden getting in his presidential limousine and going up to the Hill and meeting with members of Congress," he said. "I just don't know anybody who would be better equipped at a time like this to handle these kind of things.I am biased, yes, but I'm also a realist andI'm still Republican."
More: Facing fire from the right and left, Collins beckons voters to political center
Phil Schiliro, a former director of legislative affairs for Obama, said Biden has the skills and a real commitment to finding the kind of bipartisan compromise that used to be possible. But, he added, it takes two to negotiate.
Thats going to be the key question, he said. Will Republicans want to meet him halfway, or want to meet him at all?

To synthesize the luxury fashion industry feels a fruitless task, for it is in many ways a field emphatically characterized by the four changing seasons. The sense of the liminal permeates each fashion season, as a sundry of new garments are brought onto runways and into stores across the globe, rendering designs from only a few months prior out of trend.
But this kinetic energy was paused by the COVID-19 pandemic. With government-mandated lockdowns, the fashion industry has been forced to reckon with a society forcibly moved into the private. The public necessary to the performance of fashion was put under quarantine, and in April, as COVID-19 cases began to escalate, clothing sales fell nearly eighty percent. Consumers, now put under the duress of work from home, traded their suits and dresses for sweatpants and slippers.
The synchronized fall of landmark tastemaking boutiques, then, feels anything but coincidental. In 2020, Opening Ceremony shuttered its doors, while Barneys officially filed for bankruptcy both closures seemingly signalled that the luxury fashion house was no longer marketable.
In Irina Aleksanders profile for The New York Times Magazine of sweatpants designer Scott Sternberg, she described the fall of so-called fashion giants during COVID-19. Over the next few months, J. Crew, Neiman Marcus, Brooks Brothers and J.C. Penney filed for bankruptcy, Aleksander wrote. Gap Inc. couldnt pay rent on its 2,785 North American stores. By July, Diane von Furstenberg announced she would lay off 300 employees and close 18 of her 19 stores. Fashion, an industry characterized by excess and frivolity, seemed to bear the brunt of both a health and economic crisis that denied these exact things.
This industry apocalypse seems to be a necessary precursor to understanding fashion houses subsequent scramble to rethink consumer interaction. With production suddenly put on pause and in-person runway shows largely inaccessible, fashion houses accustomed to the luxury of in-person runway experience were forced to consider alternate modes of presentation and marketing.
Yet, perhaps the halt of the interminable fashion cycle was exactly what the industry needed. Sophie Elgort 08, a fashion photographer who has worked with the likes of Vogue and Elle, pointed to the pandemic as perhaps a catalyst for preeminent changes.
Fashion was sort of changing anyways already, Elgort said. For example, brands were sort of trying to get out of the normal fashion cycle, whether it was because they were responsible for too many collections per year and they couldnt keep up, or whether they were just kind of fatigued by the fashion calendar.
Menswear designer Robert Geller RISD 01 has embraced this new mode of fashion production that Elgort pointed to. Geller previously won the GQ Best New Menswear Designer Award in 2009 and went on to receive the CFDA Swarovski Award for Menswear in 2011.
Because of Covid-19, I have decided to move away from the two big annual collections and work off schedule to drop products as they are ready, Geller said. The existing structure was kind of falling apart anyway.
Geller, who majored in apparel, maintains this strong sense of personal change and innovation as intrinsic to his time on College Hill. RISD gave me the chance to build my confidence to believe that I could have my own brand. The foundation year really made me believe that if I put my mind to something, I could come up with a good solution, he explained. That was the most important thing in all of my studies.
Elgort, who has spent much of the past six months quarantining with her family in New York, saw her whole photographic calendar uprooted by the pandemic. Basically, all of my shoots that were scheduled past March 15th were canceled, she said. I remember I set a reminder for a month later to reschedule all my meetings, because I thought within a month it would have been sorted.
But as the pandemic persisted relentlessly, the fashion world was forced to adapt.
In April 2020, Elgort did her first shoot over Zoom and Facetime for M Milenio, a magazine based in Mexico. I mostly shot over Zoom, and I had the actress mom use a phone camera to take the pictures, Elgort said of the virtual directing process. We had two phones going so that the actress could hear me directing her poses and so that I could direct the mom taking photos. It was kind of more like directing a film because youre directing both the cameraman and the subject.
But much of the collaborative, interpersonal effort so imperative to the photographic process was lost, Elgort said. Being able to collaborate with the other creatives on set is one of the things I love most about taking photos, so it was almost more like creating personal work or something, she said.
And, it is this in-person experience this intimacy with the creative process and garments that consumers are ostensibly missing as well.
Nicholas Picchione 86 P20 pointed towards the difficulties of digitizing luxury fashion.
It could just be that the digital model has to evolve, as technology and AI evolves and such, you never know. But from the people Ive spoken to, a digital showroom can never replace picking up a garment, trying it on, touching it, feeling it, seeing how the fabric drapes theres a disconnect there, Picchione said. With apparel, it will always be about that tactile experience how it makes you feel, and its hard to replicate that digitally.
When Picchione graduated from Brown with degrees in Biology and Economics, he knew neither medicine nor strict business were right for him, and he made his foray into fashion through retail. I just started pounding the pavement and applied off the street at the Armani boutique on Madison Avenue in New York, and I was hired as a cashier, Picchione said. He has worked as senior vice president and chief merchandising officer of Ralph Laurens luxury Childrenswear, Mens Purple Label and Mens Black Label lines.
This in-person experience in luxury fashion was formative to the fondness Picchione developed for the industry. I was super excited to be working in fashion, and even though I was making no money, I just really loved the environment, he said.
But the fashion world is changing, Picchione explained. There are still a few exclusive brands that still dont consider selling online, but weve seen a general acceptance of the digital space, he said.
Although much of the digital shifts have been mandated by the pandemic, Picchione, like Elgort and Geller, suggested that this was a change already in motion.
I think particularly as brands need to attract a new and younger customer, you need to talk to customers in a different way, he said. And because those younger consumers are so digitally savvy, it was first informational and then it became transactional, and now, in the past six months, its for everyone.
It is the ability to adapt to the unprecedented global and cultural shifts, to engage with the younger customer without alienating the old customer, that allows a company to succeed in the contemporary landscape, Picchione said. With the bankruptcies of household boutiques like Neiman Marcus and J. C. Penney, a lot of people are blaming it on the pandemic, but those companies were having problems all along. This just brought it to a quicker conclusion, Picchione said.
Picchione says that consumer priorities are more different now than ever before. Younger customers, in particular, place more value in brand authenticity and issues of ethics. Now, you look to brands that are socially responsible, that treat their employees well, that are environmentally conscious that becomes part of the brand message, he said. Its not just about imagery in a magazine, which is what it used to be. Those digital story moments, whether its online on their website, or on Instagram however they choose to convey that message is important to connect with the customer.
Trends have shifted during the pandemic landscape as well. I think that the definition of luxury is changing, Picchione said. Athleisure is the work from home uniform.
There has been a general casualization of how people dress no one is buying a suit or a gown now, Picchione said. But, he also thinks there could be a resurgence of fashion-experimentation once the pandemic is over. I think its very possible the trends will change, and when people are able to go back to work and parties, theyre going to dress up like they havent in ages.
And, Picchione maintains that once the pandemic is sorted, the physical shopping experience so central to the fashion landscape will be reignited as well.
Even with the tremendous rise in e-commerce, I think that brick and mortar stores will always be important, he said. Its just a question of what that looks like.
Geller, who has spent his quarantine in Lisbon with family, hopes to see small boutiques carrying indie designers revivified. Here in Lisbon, there are tons of small boutiques with really amazing things, that you dont see everywhere else, Geller said. Shopping became so boring, because you saw the same 10 brands in every store. There was no originality.
Speaking to the sudden economic challenge that the pandemic poses, Geller offered his own perspective. Sometimes (life) makes things very difficult and it is by working through these difficulties that you gain your experiences and come out stronger for having worked through the challenges, he said.
At the same time, Geller sees the pandemic as a possible stimulus for creativity and agility. The one good thing from dropping rents is that it will give a chance to a boutique that has more of a vision and is willing to take chances, he said.
Perhaps the in-person shopping experience will be necromanced, reinvigorated with a youthful life-source that begets a new frontier in the fashion industry.
