Media Release: More Charges Brought Against Tar Sands "Megaload" Protesters in Moscow, Idaho
Posted on March 10, 2012 by WIRT
As some of the last five of over 70 massive parts of an Alberta tar sands upgrader plant rumbled through the small, quiet, college town of Moscow, Idaho, at about 11 pm on Sunday, March 4, four protesters linked arms and sat down in the middle of Washington Street to stop three of these "megaloads" weighing 200,000 to 415,000 pounds and measuring 150 to 200 feet long. Police arrested Cass Davis and Jim Prall for resisting and obstructing officers and dragged Jeanne McHale and Pat Monger to the sidewalk, as another 40 protesters voiced their opposition to expanding tar sands mining operations. Again on Tuesday, March 6, when the final two similarly huge shipments crossed this 22,000-person city, demonstrators pounded drums, chanted slogans, played music, and engaged in street theater. Helen Yost tossed a cardboard protest sign at the rear of the last megaload and air-kicked the transports and their police escorts out of town, resulting in misdemeanor charges for throwing an object at a moving highway vehicle and attempted battery of a peace officer.
All three accused protesters are pleading not guilty based on the necessity of their actions induced by their moral obligation to directly confront the causes of climate change that are currently killing millions of people, plants, and animals around the globe. For their statements, please listen to Cass Davis and Jim Prall on Flashpoints and Helen Yost on KRFP Radio Free Moscow. Other articles, photos, and videos of numerous megaload passages and protests are available on the Wild Idaho Rising Tide (WIRT) facebook page and website.
At about forty direct actions since July 15, 2011, when the shipments started traversing two-lane Highway 95 several nights a week, WIRT members and their community have practiced simple acts of non-violent civil disobedience to draw Americans' attention to ongoing crimes against nature and humanity perpetrated by one of the wealthiest corporations in the world, ExxonMobil, and its Canadian subsidiary, Imperial Oil. Their struggle began in May 2010, when Idaho citizens first learned that Governor Butch Otter and the Idaho Transportation Department had promised easy Idaho passage of at least 207 Korean-built modules to booming tar sands operations in Canada. Thirty four pieces of cheaply constructed equipment destined for the Kearl Oil Sands Project in northeastern Alberta arrived in October 2010 by barge at the Port of Lewiston, Idaho, 465 river miles inland from the Pacific Ocean. ExxonMobil/Imperial Oil originally intended to transport these megaloads through the Clearwater and Lochsa River valleys, up a 216-mile stretch of Highway 12 between Lewiston and Missoula, Montana.
This wild and pristine route through the largest wilderness complex in the lower 48 states encompasses not a single overpass that would prevent passage of these gigantic components weighing up to 600,000 pounds, towering 30 feet tall, and crowding the winding, two-lane road with their 24-foot widths and over 200-foot lengths. Among the first three National Scenic Byways and one of only 31 All-American Roads, Highway 12 runs through a Wild and Scenic River federal easement and carries national historic significance as the parallel river route of the Nez Perce and Lewis and Clark trails. These designations and the untrammeled nature of the place foster a vibrant, local, tourism industry that has flourished even while the national economy has floundered.
But Big Oil and its corporate interest in Highway 12 and other narrow, rural roadways in Idaho and Montana as permanent, high and wide, industrial corridors to the tar sands naively stumbled into an ambush in this rugged country. Since August 2010, regional citizens have challenged, delayed, and possibly permanently impeded Imperial Oil's plans, through four administrative and district court cases in both states and an Idaho Supreme Court hearing. The one 'test validation module' that did traverse Highway 12 in April 2011 has remained stranded at Lolo Pass, high in the Bitterroot Mountains, protected from local scorn by ongoing private security, in mute testament to effective litigation and corporate folly. During 2011, less than a dozen other transports with similar dimensions belonging to other companies attempted this arduous course.
In January 2011, Imperial Oil began spending $17 million to split its modules previously certified as "irreducible in size" into pieces only 15 feet high for transport on Highway 95 north from the port to Interstates 90 and 15 and Canada. As residents raged in the streets of Moscow during over forty protests since Highway 95 shipments commenced in mid-July 2011, ExxonMobil shifted its transportation plans in October 2011 to the Port of Pasco and Highway 395 in eastern Washington. In February 2012, in a lawsuit initiated by Missoula County Commissioners, a Montana judge modified a temporary court injunction into a permanent stay, effectively barring Imperial Oil traffic on Highway 12 until the Montana Department of Transportation produces a more thorough review of potential project impacts.
Since the Idaho Transportation Department first granted overlegal load permits for these unwelcome behemoths on February 1, 2011, most state and local officials have complicitly assented to Imperial Oil's use of Moscow's beautiful tree-lined streets and north Idaho's winding rural roads as industrial corridors to the 232-square-mile complex of Canadian tar sands mines considered the "the most destructive project on earth[1]". The moral outrage of impacted citizens has swelled over almost two years, as spirited demonstrations have confronted every passage of these Imperial Oil transports hauled by Mammoet and their overbearing convoys of industry paid state, county, and city police and contracted pilot vehicle drivers and flaggers. On August 26, about 150 protesters filled the streets and six citizens were arrested when they stopped a megaload for nearly half an hour. Two shipment monitors were targeted and jailed on the following night, and two bicyclists riding on sidewalks near the transports were unlawfully detained and charged on October 6.
Myriad offensive social and environmental injustices have already and will continue to result from this transportation project, which hastens the Alberta tar sands development that climate scientist James Hansen has warned would ensure "game over for the climate.[2]" Alberta upgrader plants release substantial carbon dioxide, greenhouse gases, heavy metals, and even the dirty tar mixture called bitumen that they process. Energy- and water-intensive mining and upgrading processes release toxic emissions and wastewater stews that fill vast lagoons. This extensive pollution not only poisons downwind and downstream water, air, and soil, plant and wildlife communities, and First Nations villages, it contributes to the single greatest point source of global climate chaos in North America. For billions of people around the planet, climate change-driven warming and destabilized weather are threatening the health and life ways of human populations with intensifying storms, flooding, drought, desertification, famine, and rising sea levels[3]. The conservative International Energy Agency recently reported that unless we shift our infrastructure demands from fossil fuels to low-carbon alternatives within the next five years, "the results are likely to be disastrous.[4]"
In Idaho, megaloads have imperiled the safety and schedules of travelers, delayed and blocked traffic with their 22- to 24-foot (two-lane) widths and lengthy convoys, impeded public and private emergency services, caused personal injury and property damage through numerous collisions with vehicles, power lines, cliffs, and tree branches, degraded our highways with washboard ruts in lane centers, and pummeled saturated road beds, crumbling shoulders, and outdated bridges. Citizens concerned about the lax state oversight and myriad impacts of these overlegal loads, who have monitored and documented dangerous convoy practices and conditions, have additionally faced unwarranted targeting, surveillance, intimidation, harassment, and arrest by state troopers sworn to serve public safety, but who instead protect corporate interests that compromise Idahoans' civil liberties and risk the health and wellbeing of people, places, and the planet.
Idaho residents monitoring, protesting, and blocking tar sands megaloads are not radicals but concerned citizens compelled by their consciences to take a courageous and persistent stand for a livable world. They understand that their government is broken, that Americans need to abandon use of oil, coal, and natural gas, and that humans and all other life forms may not be capable of adapting their physiologies, as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce insists, to a rapidly warming climate hotter than humans have ever experienced. The true radicals are U.S. Congressional members who mock widely-accepted scientific evidence of climate change and the fossil-fuel industries who alter the chemistry of the Earth's atmosphere and who hire public relations firms to confound energy issues.
As their consciences compel them, Wild Idaho Rising Tide and Moscow activists seek only to preserve the global home that they know and love, for the benefit of everyone but particularly for the youngest and most vulnerable people. They are standing on their convictions in solidarity with other communities in the path of this industrial juggernaut, near dozens of tar sands pipeline and transportation routes and refineries. Over the last year, they have come to understand that resistance to Big Oil is not futile but essential and mandatory for people of good will to bequeath a livable planet to all of its present and future inhabitants. Every resistance movement that has ever changed the world began with just a few people expressing their dissatisfaction and defiance, empowering their fellow citizens, and deepening their resolve to effect long overdue changes. Through cold and wet winter weather, often into the early morning hours, some of the 400 regional and 940 national members of WIRT have borne witness to this ongoing tar sands atrocity and opposed its abuses with all the resources that they can muster. But they are only among the first wave of a rising tide of resistance that tar sands profiteers can expect across our nation.
When vehicle-dependent Americans, who consume 97 percent of Alberta tar sands products, import the majority of their foreign oil from Canada but export a surplus, steam cleaning oily sand to obtain the purported best and most secure new source of petroleum appears not only unnecessary but expensive and excessive. Further tar sands development in Canada and the American West would prolong the U.S. oil addiction admitted by George W. Bush, exacerbate global warming, and forestall transitions to safe, clean, infinitely sustainable energy sources. Political leadership independent of unaccountable multinational corporations that channel millions of dollars reaped from tar sands production to American and Canadian administrative and legislative officials must effectively resolve the biggest challenge that humanity has ever faced.
Although President Obama on his campaign trail heralded "the moment when the rise of the oceans begins to slow and our planet begins to heal," Americans continue to reel from the insidiously deadly effects of fossil fuel extraction, as victims of the shameful aftermaths of the Exxon Valdez and BP Deepwater Horizon spills, water contaminated by coal mining and hydraulic fracturing, and extensive tar sands devastation. We cannot rely on state and national politicians, dirty energy executives, or industry workers to honor and protect people's most basic rights and interests. As life around the world struggles with the consequences of our collective delay in taking responsible actions to reverse climate change, we can only hope that investors and finance managers realize that smart money will abandon tar sands projects soon, before emerging grassroots initiatives reduce the value of their fiscal commitments to outmoded energy sources.
Catalyzed by projected atmospheric carbon concentrations of more than 450 parts per million, positive feedback mechanisms could overshadow efforts to reasonably shape energy policy, as chaotic weather rapidly transforms our landscapes and infrastructure. A more stable economic future already thrives through the development of abundant domestic sources of wind, solar, geothermal, and other non-depletable energy. Responsible energy providers can safely harvest these ample resources in perpetuity and offer enough power and mobility and better long-term security to meet energy needs. Our international energy crisis and widespread ignorance of the clear scientific consensus on climate change may indeed represent the eleventh hour for humanity; our shared response could also signal its finest hour.

Well written article … Yet the persistent, courageous, and oft desperate actions of those who sense the unthinkable consequences of OUR — human-action-triggered — climate change will remain woefully inadequate in timely stopping the powers of ignorance and greed — unless this tiny snowball of reason grows into an avalanche…
Thanks for your article … the tiny snowball is a tiny bit larger.

AFC Wimbledon has stepped up moves to return to its traditional home in Wimbledon after submitting a plans for a new stadium on the site of a greyhound stadium in Plough Lane.
The plans, developed with Galliard Homes, involve seek approval for the greyhound stadium site to be designated for use as a football stadium.
The club, which is currently based at Kingston-upon-Thames, said the first phase of the development would cost around £16m.
Funds will be raised through a combination of naming rights for the new stadium, a Community Share issue and funds from enabling development.
AFC Wimbledon chief executive Erik Samuelson said: "There is a long way to go before our plans become a reality.
"Before we can submit a planning application, there are two significant hurdles that must be overcome. First, we must win the support of Merton Council for our proposal that the site should be developed as a football stadium.
"If we get the green light on those two matters we will then submit a formal planning application in the spring, which could take many months to be approved. Even with a fair wind, it could take at least two years after that before work could begin on site.
AFC Wimbledon, which plays in League Two of the Football League, was formed by Wimbledon supporters in 2002 after Wimbledon FC relocated to Milton Keynes and subsequently became the Milton Keynes Dons.


Gutters are often the most neglected feature of a home, yet they are one of the most essential. Although you can't see them working, they do much more to protect your home from moisture and water problems than you can see! Keeping them clear is vital, and with fall coming up fast, our gutter guards can help make clearing leaves and twigs a thing of the past.
It's important to first understand how gutters work without gutter guards installed. Gutters are designed to direct water flow away from a home. Although gutters are made to ensure proper water flow from the roof, certain things can get in the way of them doing their job. If your gutters aren't checked out at least twice a year, the build up of leaves and other debris can clog your gutters, becoming a disaster waiting to happen. With this said, there is a way to ensure your gutter cleaning days are over.
Ensuring your gutters are leaf-free requires regular cleaning, especially during the fall. However, if your home has gutter guards, you won't have to worry about digging the ladder out of the garage so frequently. Gutter guards can be installed to your existing gutters and make your life much more convenient while eliminating a job from your outdoor chore list. They are essentially a gutter cover that is installed on the top of the gutter where leaves and twigs fall in and build up. With breathable holes in the gutter guard, water will still flow into the gutter and away from the home while the gutter guards keep debris out. This investment can save you time from having to clean out the gutters, money on repairing broken gutters, and give you peace of mind.
There are many different types of gutter guards to choose from, so be sure to enlist the professionals of Alaska Premier Gutters to help you make the right choice. Our experts can help you keep your gutters free of fallen leaves, debris, twigs, insects and more. We'll keep your regular gutter system working properly and improve its longevity, thus making your investment worth every penny.
Make sure your gutters are prepared to handle the weather this fall, and all the fallen leaves that come with it. This fall season, you can spend more time enjoying the big game or maintaining other features of your home that needs tending to – and which would you rather do? Call us today at 907-272-2337 to learn more about getting gutter guards for your home.

Q: Mathematical matrix program I'm currently creating a matrix program that can display the matrix with our input, the trace of the matrix, ability to create 2x2 matrix from original matrix, the determinant of the matrix, the submatrix, and have ability to delete the rows and columns in the matrix, here is my code:
#include <stdio.h>

struct matrix
{
    char name;
    int mValues[10][10];
    int nrows;
    int ncols;
};
struct matrix2
{
    char name2;
    int mValues2[10][10];
    int nrows2;
    int ncols2;
};
int main()
{
    struct matrix M1, M2;
    int trace;
    int determinant;

        matrixInput(&M1);
        matrixDisplay(M1);
        matrixTrace(M1, &trace);
        printf("\nThe trace of matrix is %d",trace);

    return 0;
}

void matrixInput(struct matrix *mat)
{
    printf("Please enter a one character name for the matrix, e.g A, B, etc:");
        scanf("%c",&(*mat).name);

    printf("\nEnter # rows of the matrix(<10):\n");
        scanf("%d",&(*mat).nrows);

    printf("Enter # columns of the matrix(<10):\n");
        scanf("%d",&(*mat).ncols);

    printf("\nMatrix %c:\n",(*mat).name);

    FILE *file = fopen("matrix.txt","r");

    for(int x =0; x < (*mat).nrows; x++) {
        for(int y=0; y < (*mat).ncols; y++) {
            fscanf(file, "%d", &(*mat).mValues[x][y]);
        }
    }
    fclose(file);

}

void matrixDisplay(struct matrix mat)
{
    int baris, kolom;

    for(baris = 0; baris < mat.nrows; baris++) {
        printf("Row %d: ", baris);
        for(kolom = 0; kolom < mat.ncols; kolom++) {
            printf("\t%d", mat.mValues[baris][kolom]);
        }
        printf("\n");
    }
    getchar();
    return;
}

void matrixTrace(struct matrix mat, int *trace)
{
    int baris, kolom;
    *trace = 0;
    for(baris = 0; baris < mat.nrows; baris++){
        for(kolom = 0; kolom < mat.ncols; kolom++){
        if(baris == kolom){
    *trace += mat.mValues[baris][kolom];}

    }
    }
}
   void matrixInput2(struct matrix2 *mat2)
{
    printf("Please enter a one character name for the matrix, e.g A, B, etc:");
        scanf("%c",&(*mat2).name2);

    printf("\nEnter row number to start 2x2 matrix, number needs to be between 0 and 2:\n");
        scanf("%d",&(*mat2).nrows2);

    printf("Enter column number to start 2x2 matrix, number needs to be between 0 and 2:\n");
        scanf("%d",&(*mat2).ncols2);
        printf("\nMatrixInput2 %c:\n",(*mat2).name2);
}

here's the example of the output:
Please enter a one character name for the matrix, e.g A, B, etc: A

    Enter # rows of the matrix(<10):
    4
    Enter # columns of the matrix(<10):
    4

    Matrix A:
    Row 0:  1      -15     20     -40
    Row 1:  41     -60     75     -99
    Row 2:  100    -150    2      -14
    Row 3:  21     -39     42     -59

    The trace of matrix is =116

so the matrix is called in .txt file,i just have finished creating the matrix display and the trace, now i want to create 2x2 matrix from the original matrix, but i can't make input again? the program ends after the output, i try to give it void function but still doesn't works, anyone can help?

A: Now i fix my problem, here is the updated code:
#include <stdio.h>

struct matrix
{
    char name;
    int mValues[10][10];
    int nrows;
    int ncols;

    int mValues2[10][10];
    int nrows2;
    int ncols2;
};
int main()
{
    struct matrix m1, *m2;
    int trace;
    int determinant;

        matrixInput(&m1);
        matrixDisplay(m1);
        matrixTrace(m1, &trace);
        printf("\nThe trace of matrix is %d",trace);
        matrixDeterminant(*m2, &determinant);

    return 0;
}

void matrixInput(struct matrix *mat, struct matrix2 *mat2)
{
    printf("Please enter a one character name for the matrix, e.g A, B, etc:");
        scanf("%c",&(*mat).name);

    printf("\nEnter # rows of the matrix(<10):\n");
        scanf("%d",&(*mat).nrows);

    printf("Enter # columns of the matrix(<10):\n");
        scanf("%d",&(*mat).ncols);

    printf("\nMatrix %c:\n",(*mat).name);

    FILE *file = fopen("matrix.txt","r");

    for(int x =0; x < (*mat).nrows; x++) {
        for(int y=0; y < (*mat).ncols; y++) {
            fscanf(file, "%d", &(*mat).mValues[x][y]);
        }
    }
    fclose(file);

}

void matrixDeterminant(struct matrix m1, struct matrix2 *m2,struct matrix2 *mat2, int *determinant)
{

    printf("\n\nFinding the determinant now!");
    printf("\nPlease enter a one character name for the matrix, e.g A, B, etc:");
        scanf("%c",&(*m2).name2);

    printf("\nEnter row number where to start 2x2 matrix, number needs to be between 0 and 2:\n");
        scanf("%d",&(*m2).nrows2);

    printf("Enter column number where to start 2x2 matrix, number needs to be between 0 and 2:\n");
        scanf("%d",&(*m2).ncols2);

    }

void matrixDisplay(struct matrix mat)
{
    int baris, kolom;
    for(baris = 0; baris < mat.nrows; baris++) {
        printf("Row %d: ", baris);
        for(kolom = 0; kolom < mat.ncols; kolom++) {
            printf("\t%d", mat.mValues[baris][kolom]);
        }
        printf("\n");

    }
    getchar();
    return;
}

void matrixTrace(struct matrix mat, int *trace)
{
    int baris, kolom;
    *trace = 0;
    for(baris = 0; baris < mat.nrows; baris++){
        for(kolom = 0; kolom < mat.ncols; kolom++){
        if(baris == kolom){
    *trace += mat.mValues[baris][kolom];}

    }

}
}

another thing is that i want to create a 2x2 matrix from the original matrix and find the determinant of the matrix,the matrix is called from a txt file that i create, i'm very confused, what should i type next?
i want the output to be like this:
Please enter a one character name for the matrix, e.g A, B, etc: A

Enter # rows of the matrix(<10):
4
Enter # columns of the matrix(<10):
4

Matrix A:
Row 0:  1      -15     20     -40
Row 1:  41     -60     75     -99
Row 2:  100    -150    2      -14
Row 3:  21     -39     42     -59

The trace of matrix is =116

Finding the determinant now!
Please enter a one character name for the matrix, e.g A, B, etc: B
Enter row number where to start 2x2 matrix, number needs to be between 0 and 2:x

Enter column number where to start 2x2 matrix, number needs to be between 0 and 2:x

The determinant is x for
Matrix B:

Row 0:  x      x
Row 1:  x      x

The new 2x2 matrix is saved in a new struct, how can i do that?

Field 2 , Madeira Beach, Fla.
Field 3 , Madeira Beach, Fla.
MADEIRA BEACH, Fla. - On a perfect day for softball on a sunny, Florida Saturday, the Lady Bisons made the most of it with a double header in the EMU Madeira Beach Spring Invitational.
Coming off a decisive 13-3 win over George Mason and a 4-3 walk-off win over Virginia on Friday to open the tournament, the Lady Bisons looked to protect its perfect record on the second day. They finished the day with an overall record of 5-1 after defeating the Ohio Bobcats 12-4 and notching their first loss of the season against Jacksonville State, 2-1.
In the first contest of the morning, the Lady Bisons took on the Bobcats. The first six innings were a chess match between junior hurler Mandy Jordan of Lipscomb and freshman Bobcat Madi McCrady, with no runs crossing the plate for either team.
The Bobcats and the Bisons kept the game close through the next two innings as each team matched one another run for run.
Lipscomb opened the scoring in the top of the seventh on a RBI-bunt single from Ward. After Ohio knotted things up in the bottom of the frame, the Lady Bisons then responded with three runs in the eighth when Higgins singled to center to drive in Turner. Jordan Fortel followed with a 2-run blast two batters later to make it a short-lived 4-1 lead before the Bobcats would plate three in the bottom half.
Entering the ninth tied 4-4, Lipscomb started the inning with an explosive performance at the plate that resulted in eight runs being scored.
RBI-singles from Caitlin Turner, Sarah Higgins and Jenna Endris helped Lipscomb to its biggest inning of the season. Ohio remained scoreless in the bottom of the ninth to give the Lady Bisons a 12-4 win.
Jordan moved to 3-0 in the circle after continuing her dominant start to the 2018 season. She struck out seven batters in eight innings of work. Jordan blanked Ohio on the scoreboard through the first six innings, before allowing four runs over the next two frames and being lifted for Megan Gray, who worked a perfect ninth.
Eight different players scored a run and recorded a hit for Lipscomb, and seven players notched a RBI. Jordan (3-0) struck out seven batters in eight innings.
In the second tilt of the afternoon, the Lady Bisons looked to stretch their win streak to six as they took on Jacksonville State.
Coming off explosive hitting to close out first game, Lipscomb managed only three hits and was held scoreless through the first four innings to start their campaign against the Gamecocks.
Higgins reached base first for the Lady Bisons with a 2-out single in the bottom of the first inning, but was left on base as the inning came to a close with Hannah DeVault earning the third out.
The Lady Bisons took the lead in the fifth after sophomore Peyton Ward started the frame with a walk to first after a 3-2 count. As teammate Khayla Green struck out at home, Ward turned on the engines and stole second base.
Turner reached second base after hitting a single to the pitcher and stretching it on the throw. Ward advanced to third on an error by Jacksonville State third baseman Caitlyn Sapp. Ward then crossed home plate for Lipscomb's first run of the game.
Hurler Jordan Fortel kept the Gamecocks hitless through the top half of the fifth inning. In the sixth, Jacksonville State got on the scoreboard with two runs, which proved too much for the Lady Bisons to overcome.
In the sixth inning, Fortel got hot on the other side of the pitcher's circle as she singled to left field. Senior first baseman Caitlin Plocheck singled to center field and Chloe Yeager reached base on a fielder's choice. But none crossed home plate before Ward's pop fly out ended the inning.
After Jacksonville State's sixth-inning surge, they remained hitless in the seventh and final inning of the contest.
Down only one run going into the bottom of the seventh, the Lady Bisons made a run at tying the game with one out as Turner notched another single and catcher Abby Fenichel singled to center field, advancing Turner to second. The inning and the game came to an end when Higgins hit a grounder that resulted in a double play.
Fortel (1-1) pitched all seven innings, striking out seven batters and allowing four hits that resulted in two runs. She faced 26 batters and ended the game with a 112 pitches and 81 strikes.
The Lady Bisons finished the contest with eight hits for the game and one error.
Lipscomb takes on UNC-Greensboro Sunday in the final day of action in the EMU Madeira Beach Spring Invitational. First pitch is set for 1 p.m.

Illegal, deadly firearms accessories just a click away in Massachusetts
Investigations into suppressors, other gun parts often lead to ghost guns
Karen Anderson & Kevin Rothstein
Acting special agent in charge David Magdycz of Homeland Security Investigations in Boston shows 5 Investigates illegal firearm suppressors.
Massachusetts has some of the strictest gun laws in the country, but those laws are doing little to stop the purchase of firearms accessories that can be easily turned into illegal silencers or be used to turn certain handguns into machine guns.The silencers are being sold as fuel filters or solvent filters and typically are shipped from China, according to David Magdycz, acting special agent in charge for Homeland Security Investigations in Boston.But when investigators visit the homes where the fuel filters have been delivered, they have never found them to be used as anything but illegal silencers."We've found no legitimate use for these suppressors or these silencers, ever. We've never gone to a residence and had them show us exactly what they attach to or how they're used as an oil filter or a solvent filter," Magdycz said.Trigger switches turn a Glock handgun from a semi-automatic firearm, which fires one bullet every time the trigger is pulled, into an automatic weapon, rapidly firing bullets with one pull of the trigger.A machine gun is "incredibly dangerous," Magdycz said. "We've had incidents where individuals have had a (legal) fully automatic weapon, and when they fire it, they don't know how to fire it. And it's gone out of control and killed people," he said. "On the street side, it's 100 percent illegal. You cannot, without the proper license, have a fully automatic weapon. It's dangerous for law enforcement. It's dangerous for other civilians, especially in these tumultuous times now. We're afraid that these items in the wrong hands would obviously prove more dangerous to everyone in the community."The appeal to criminals of these devices was on display in secretly recorded audio and video made by an undercover ATF agent investigating the sale of homemade ghost guns around the Fitchburg area. The target, Terrick Bishoff, was recorded discussing silencers and the switches to make Glock handguns automatic."I need him to order the kit to make that .22 with the silencer," he told the undercover agent, in a recording obtained by 5 Investigates."So what, he gets it through the mail and it just comes in?" the agent asked."Yeah," Bishoff replied.Bishoff has pleaded guilty to federal firearms charges and his associate, John Shaw, has agreed to plead guilty, according to court documents.But it's not just gun traffickers buying the accessories. Since January, 51 suppressors destined for Massachusetts have been seized. And nationwide, 23,500 suppressors have been seized in a little over the past year.There is a federal license that will let you have a suppressor, but not in Massachusetts, where they're all illegal except for law enforcement use.

Genet Getaneh Wendimagegnehu (born 6 January 1986) is an Ethiopian professional long-distance runner who competes in half marathon and marathon competitions. She represented Ethiopia at the IAAF World Half Marathon Championships in 2007 and 2008, finishing fourth at the latter race. She is a two-time winner of the Great Ethiopian Run and won the 2010 Zevenheuvelenloop. She has a personal best of 2:25:38 hours for the marathon and 1:08:18 hours for the half marathon.

Career
Genet Getaneh grew up in Oromia Region's Arsi Zone in Ethiopia and began running in national level races as a teenager. She was selected to represent Ethiopia at the 2004 Yokohama Women's Ekiden and, leading off on the first 5 km leg, she helped her country to win the race. An individual win at the Great Ethiopian Run 10K in November established her among the top national level runners, as she ran a course record of 34:18 minutes and beat world-level medalist Teyba Erkesso and African champion Eyerusalem Kuma. She narrowly finished behind both of them to take third at the Silvesterlauf Trier at the end of the year.

Genet ran a 10 km for Ethiopia at the 2005 Yokohama Ekiden, but Ethiopia came third on that occasion. She had three wins over the 10K distance that year, taking the titles at the Stadsloop Appingedam and Run London races, then defending her title at the Ethiopian Run. In 2006, she made her first track appearance abroad at the FBK Games, finishing well down the field over 5000 metres, and had similar results at the Ethiopian Championships. She attempted another defence at the Ethiopian Run, but came third, and was runner-up at the end-of-year São Silvestre da Amadora.

Genet was based in the Netherlands at the start of 2007: she was third at the Parelloop in April and set a 10,000 metres best of 32:09:50 minutes in Valkenswaard. She moved up to longer distances and a third place at the Ethiopian 20 km Championship brought her selection for the 2007 IAAF World Road Running Championships. On her half marathon debut she came 19th in the event with a run of 1:10:30 hours. She ran at the Ethiopian Run for the fifth time in as many years and was fourth. She was fifth at the 2008 Ethiopian cross country championships, but did not gain selection for the world championships. However, she made her breakthrough in the half marathon that year. She was third at the Paris Half Marathon and her fourth place at the 2008 IAAF World Half Marathon Championships helped Ethiopia to the team title. She had a personal best run of 1:08:18 hours to take second behind Aselefech Mergia at the New Delhi Half Marathon and this ranked her the fourth fastest in the world that year.

Genet moved up to compete in the marathon in 2009 and performed well in her first outings, taking fifth place at both the Berlin Marathon and the Dubai Marathon with a personal best of 2:26:37 hours at the latter race. The following year she competed at both marathons again and was eighth in Dubai but failed to finish in Berlin. She had her best national finish over 10,000 m at the Ethiopian Championships, coming a close second to Amane Gobena, and ran a 15 km best of 47:54 minutes to beat Florence Kiplagat to the title at the Zevenheuvelenloop. Her 2011 season comprised three marathon races. First she came seventh in Dubai, then she managed fourth at the Vienna City Marathon. A new personal best of 2:25:57 hours came at the Amsterdam Marathon, although this was only enough for fourth as the race winner Tiki Gelana broke the course record. She made her American debut with a run at the 2012 Boston Marathon despite being among the early contenders she finished in eleventh place. She reached the podium at the 2012 Amsterdam Marathon, taking third place with a personal best run of 2:25:38 hours.

Tomahawks will play New Year's Eve game without fans
By Mike Mastovich
mmastovich@tribdem.com
Mike Mastovich
The Johnstown Tomahawks will continue a longstanding local hockey tradition, but fans won't be permitted to watch the annual New Year's Eve game at 1st Summit Arena @ Cambria County War Memorial because of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The Tomahawks announced on Monday that the New Year's Eve game against the Northeast Generals will be played at 3 p.m. on Thursday.
The same teams will meet at 1 p.m. on Friday – New Year's Day.
Fans will not be permitted at either NAHL contest at 1st Summit Arena.
"It is unfortunate to not be able to pack the place like we usually would for New Year's, but it's an adjustment and we will be ready to play," Tomahawks coach Mike Letizia said.
The Tomahawks adapted in accordance to Gov. Tom Wolf's recently mandated government regulations regarding the number of people permitted inside a venue during an event. The Tomahawks organization noted in a release that the team is deemed "equal to a professional sports organization and therefore remain allowed to play."
The New Year's Eve game is a Johnstown tradition that extends beyond the Tomahawks' arrival in the city for the 2012-13 NAHL season.
The former professional ECHL Johnstown Chiefs went 13-4-3 in New Year's Eve home games, with 11 sellouts at the War Memorial.
Through last year's 7-2 victory over the Maine Nordiques, the Tier II Junior Tomahawks are 6-1-1 on New Year's Eve with four 1st Summit Arena sellouts.
This will be the first year since the Tomahawks moved to Johnstown that the team will not host 3,000 or more fans during the New Year's Eve game.
Wolf on Dec. 10 announced an order for three weeks of tightened restrictions aimed at alleviating the strain on the state's health care system as COVID-19 cases surged across the state.
The measures included a ban on indoor dining, a reduction on crowd sizes, canceling scholastic sports and in-person extracurricular scholastic activities, closing gyms and casinos, and limiting retail stores to 50% capacity. In-person businesses have been allowed to operate at up to 75% capacity. The restrictions are in place through Jan. 4.
Prior to the mandate, the Tomahawks had been one of the few NAHL teams still permitted to host fans during this season of uncertainty.
"We actually have been pretty lucky compared to other teams in the NAHL," Tomahawks front office staffer Derek Partsch said. "Most of our divisional rivals have not played in front of fans all season. We obviously want to play in front of the most loyal fan base in the league, so we are working every day to make that happen."
The Tomahawks had been set to begin an eight-game home stand when the restrictions were announced. The Hawks edged visiting Maryland 3-2 on Dec. 11, one day before the mandates took effect.
Games on Dec. 12, 18 and 19 were postponed.
Tomahawks season ticket holders should hold their tickets for future use.
Fans may stream the New Year's Eve and New Year's Day games live on HockeyTV.

'Our job is to play hockey': Tomahawks prepared for 'different' New Year's Eve game
The Johnstown Tomahawks haven't played a game in nearly three weeks. When they meet the Northeast Generals for the annual New Year's Eve game, no fans will be in the stands at 1st Summit Arena @ Cambria County War Memorial.

The City of Sydney celebrated World Environment Day in June 2014 on a high, having retrofitted 45 of its properties to reduce electricity and water use, slash carbon emissions and generate operational savings of more than $1 million a year.
The two-year retrofit program included Town Hall House, Customs House, swimming pools, community centres, libraries and car parks. It has cut the City's electricity use by about 6.6 million kilowatt hours (kWh) per year – enough to supply about 1000 households annually – and saved an estimated $1.1 million per year in power bills.
Lord Mayor Clover Moore says the community-driven mission for a greener and cleaner Sydney involved residents, businesses and the City's own operations taking significant action on global warming.
'More than 90 per cent of Sydneysiders told us they wanted action on climate change. Through our careful planning and investment we are making significant progress,' the Lord Mayor said.
The City of Sydney is Australia's first carbon-neutral government and has already reduced carbon emissions in its own buildings and operations by 20 per cent since 2006. The City's target for emissions reduction for 2016 is 26 per cent below 2006 levels.

New WNC Business degree designed for university transfer
July 21, 2016 Robert Perea	0 Comments
Western Nevada College students can be all business when they start the 2016 fall semester of classes on Monday, Aug. 29.
For the first time, WNC will offer an Associate of Business Degree that is built for students to earn a two-year Associate Degree in Business and then transfer directly to a university, toward a Bachelor's Degree in Business.
At a tuition cost that is far below that of a university, WNC students will save money and learn in smaller classes with a personalized approach, before they transition to a university.

Geri Pope-Maddox, left, Carson McFadden, both of Carson City, and Kim Desroches, of Dayton, talk about ways to remember people's names during a Western Nevada College Business Association networking social Thursday, Jan. 21 at WNC. The event, part of the association's employment preparation series, provides education, networking and community exposure to participants.
WNC already offers a two-year Associate of Applied Science Degree in Business with an emphasis in Accounting, General Business or Management. It is ideal for those students who wish to enter the workforce sooner, according to WNC Professor of Accounting Richard Kloes.
"WNC is pleased to offer this new university transfer track for our Business students," said Dr. Robert Wynegar, Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs. "The impetus for this track came from our Business Advisory Committee. Completing the steps required to offer the Associate of Business Degree demonstrates our continued commitment to serving regional business needs and supporting our students. For Business students pursuing a four-year degree, this track will offer a smoother transition to the university level."
An added benefit to the program is that most of the classes are available online and in person, giving the working student more flexibility in their busy schedules.
Kloes said that students who complete the 60-unit Associate of Business Degree can continue their education in business with a junior standing at a four-year college, including the University of Nevada, Reno.
"Unlike the Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees, which are more general in nature, this degree is specifically designed with the business student in mind." Kloes said.
"Whether they transfer with their Associate of Business Degree or enter the workforce immediately, students can expect a better chance of employment upon graduation.
"Those earning business degrees are some of the most sought-after graduates today," Kloes said. "The great thing about this degree is that, as well as directly transferring to a four-year institution, it also tells a prospective employer that the student's main emphasis of study is in the business field."
For more information on the new business degree, contact Counseling Services at any WNC Campus. The Carson City campus contacts are 775-445-3267 and counseling@wnc.edu.

Is it worth bothering with a Dell, or should I custom build a workstation for Resolve?
The question is pretty much in the title.
I'm wondering if something like a Dell T3610 would be worth it or if I should build my own. I always had the feeling these mass produced workstations just used the cheapest parts. But somebody who has this Dell says it's great. I know a HP Z820 would be the recommended workstation but this is many times my budget.
Re: Is it worth bothering with a Dell, or should I custom build a workstation for Resolve?
Try Resolve Basics and Configuration forum.
You wont have the configuration options especially with the Video cards with a Dell system. The media you use will decide the ideal specs with Davinci. However you really will want a 780TI or Titan card if possible depending on your media. Atleast a 6 Core 4930K and 32GB of ram would be the other specs. Remember the PSU's in those systems are often not load capable for 1 especially 2 of the higher end cards. They are often proprietary as well which means you cant after market swap them. The video card would most like have to be After Market swapped as well. You are correct that pricing of the hardware is a major consideration by the OEM's. The Enthusiast hardware will always be more expensive but give the best options and performance.
Thanks Eric. I think I have pretty much given up going with Dell or any mass produced PC. I will build my own.
The media format I will be grading is 1080p 10-bit 422 ProRes and DNxHD. I'm not doing any 4K at the moment and don't see me doing for the next year or two.
I wanted to build a workstation based on the recommended Asus P9X79 Pro. But the place where I get my PCs build does not stock it. Only the P9x79. Do you know if it absolutely a must be the Pro version? It seems to be basically the same board, only the P9X79 has 3x PCI Express 3.0 x16 and the P9X79 Pro has 4x PCI Express 3.0 x16.
Then I was thinking going with a single graphics card with one of these options: Radeon HD 7950 3GB GDDR5, GeForce GT 640, 2GB DDR3, GeForce GT 630, 4GB DDR3.
I use a Decklink SDI for monitoring.
If getting an nvidia card you need a GTX model.
Thanks. What is the technical reason?
Is ATi or AMD absolutely fine by the way? I had a lot of problem with ATi in the past with other programs.
I know Resolve doesn't support AMD processors. But what about graphics cards?
Any idea about the motherboard question, P9X79 Pro vs regular P9X79?
By the way I have a GTX560 now and it doesn't seem to be doing the job. So I guess only being GTX is not enough?
Yes the P9X79 board is fine. Also don't get the AMD card. Get the 760GTX 4GB card or the 770GTX 4GB card. Those would be far better.
Thanks Eric. The GTX 760 seems affordable enough. Any ideas if the GTX 750 would also work or is it too old to bother?
Are you running the P9X79 or know somebody running it and have it working? Or you are going by the specs alone?
At any rate it's good to know it will also work. I was afraid it wouldn't work like is the case with the P9X79 WS.
What system are you running Resolve on by the way?
And if I would decide going with two graphics cards, would it be fine to go with a GTX760 4GB and something lower like a GT640 2GB or GT630 4GB for the second card? And is having two graphics cards recommended with the P9X79 keeping in mind I will have to use an Intensity Pro or DeckLink Mini Monitor? Thanks!
I run a E5-2697 V2 12 Core Xeon with a 770 4GB card. That handles 4K at half resolution fine. Yes we use the P9X79 here for audio systems so I am very familiar with it. Doesn't have the best slot layout for Video so we use something else. I would also suggest you only get another 760GTX card or higher if you get a 2nd card. Don't bother with a lower card with Davinci.
[EricBowen] "Yes we use the P9X79 here for audio systems so I am very familiar with it. Doesn't have the best slot layout for Video so we use something else."
I see. But I guess you did try Resolve 10 with it and it worked normally, since you mentioned the P9X79 is fine?
What is the problem you see with the slot layout?
By the way, not doing 4K yet over here. Only 10-bit 422 1080p HD for now.
And thanks for being the only person from the whole forum replying to this thread. I truly appreciate it.
I have not tested Resolve on that exact Asus board but the P9X79 Pro version and it works fine on that. No reason it wouldn't work fine on the Regular version if the Pro works. The P9X79 has a PCI slot which is pointless for video and 1 less 16X slot which would be important for expansion. That is why it is a much better fit for audio than video. It also has less Sata ports so that was another reason we didn't use it for video. Keep in mind if you can afford the Asrock Extreme 9 or the Asus WS version then you would be able install E5 V2 Xeons into that board. That is a big deal if you get over 1080 media later.
Thanks. I thought you had tested it when you said it would work fine. Just because it's a P9X79 doesn't mean it will work though. For example, the WS version, or the P9X79 WS doesn't seem to work as reported by many users in this forum because it has no PCIe lane which is not shared. So some who bought it couldn't get it to work.
About the Asrock, I'm hesitating going with other than an Asus P9X79 because this is the only one Blackmagic tested.

Ancient myths were actually observations of Mars, Venus and Mercury which repeatedly passed close to the Earth between 3700 and 700 BC.
NASA Juno MIssion Will Prove Earth Origin
Earth's Explosive Birth
The earth was born out of a high energy impact on Jupiter, which initiated a nuclear fusion fireball thousands of times the size of the giant planet itself. We are here today because that event occurred about 4 billion years ago. We know about it because many beings on Earth observed and recorded the similar birth of proto-Venus only 6,000 years ago. In fact, this is the process by which all terrestrial planets are born. Not only does this prove that Jupiter is a solid planet, but also that it incorporated essentially all the heavy elements present in the nascent solar system.
Methane Gas Hydrate
A number of factors suggest that Jupiters composition is solid methane-gas-hydrate (MGH), a well-studied phase of water which forms under conditions of low temperature and high pressure. Although primarily water, this phase forms cavities as it freezes, which encapsulate 'foreign' molecules or atoms (a clathrate), most commonly methane. Interestingly, an ample supply of 'foreign' material is necessary for its formation , otherwise the cavities collapse, reverting to ordinary ice. The cavities are of varying sizes, capable of incorporating all of the heavy elements in the periodic table. An excellent tutorial on MGH can be found at MGH tutorial. Although Saturn is also an MGH planet, its low density (0.7) as compared to Jupiter's (1.33) indicates that Jupiter incorporated essentially all the heavy elements in the nascent solar system.
Proto-Venus' Explosive Birth
The magnitude of the fireball that contracted to become proto-Venus (its not yet completed forming) was so great that the Rig Veda described its shape. This implies the impact of a large body into the unlimited hydrogen (and deuterium) present in the body of Jupiter resulted in an enormous nuclear fusion explosion which exponentially magnified its energy. Moreover, a very gradually diminishing fusion furnace in the crater, manifested as a flaming jet of hot gases, formed the Galilean moons, the main belt asteroids and the trans-Neptunian objects over the last 6,000 years. Although the mass ejection recently ceased, as evidenced by the termination of the slowing of Jupiter's rotation (~1930), currently interpreted as a monotonic 'drift of the GRS, the continuing heat generation is still driving the Jupiter's temperature excess, the Great Red Spot and the latitudinal wind bands. The point source of the driving energy, in the otherwise solid frozen planet, is disguised by the large mass of heavy elements rising from the crater, cooling, forming compounds and crystals before reaching the cloud-tops, creating a 'heat-blanket' of colored but unidentifiable material.
What Will Juno Find?
Juno orbit at Jupiter
NASA has launched a new probe, Juno, toward Jupiter, because its Galileo and Cassini missions have not answered many questions about the giant planet. The probe will be placed in a highly eccentric orbit which will allow it to fly between the cloud-tops and the inner radiation belt as close as possible to the surface from pole to pole during each orbit, making it possible to cover the entire planet in 33 orbits. The long wavelength radiometer will likely get no signal from the MGH surface because it is very cold. The really exciting find will come when Juno passes close to the crater, because a continual fusion reaction is still burning within it. All the radiometer signals will spike at about 22 degrees South Latitude and considerably West of the Great Red Spot because the rapid eastward rotation of the planet (1 revoluion per 9.9 hours) 'drags' the rising column of gases rising from the crater to the West. At the same time the microwave signals spike, a relatively abrupt change in the velocity of the probe, used to detect gravitational anomalies, will indicate the mass void of the crater itself. It would be wise for Juno mission planners to allocate time for additional orbits once the crater is localized, in order to fly directly over it, because the planned orbits are displaced by some 12 degrees Longitude.
What Will NASA Report?
It is difficult to imagine how NASA scientists might manage to misinterpret this data, but because the entire 'community' is convinced, to a man, that Jupiter is a hydrogen 'gas giant' and consequently that the GRS is a 'storm', the danger still exists. I suspect the 'anomalous data' discussed herein will be secreted from the public while they search for an explanation consistent with the 'accepted' or 'standard' theory. I am forwarding this blog post to the NASA principal investigators at the date of its publication in order to establish provenance of the ideas present herein and to forewarn them as to what to expect . Unfortunately, we all have to wait until 2016 before the probe reaches its target. NASA engineers have done spectacular jobs on mission after mission. The only failing comes in the preconceived notions of the scientists that interpret the data.
The Greek Myth of Venus' Birth
In the story of Athena's (Venus) birth, Zeus (Jupiter) lay with Metis, the goddess of crafty thought and wisdom (an invisible impacting body), but he immediately feared the consequences. It had been prophesied that Metis would bear children more powerful than the sire, even Zeus himself. In order to forestall these dire consequences, Zeus (Jupiter) "swallowed her down all of a sudden." But he immediately experienced an enormous headache, so Hephaestus (a god of fire), cleaved Zeus's head with an axe. Athena (Venus) leaped from Zeus's (Jupiter's) head, fully grown and armed, with a shout — and pealed to the broad sky her clarion cry of war. And Mother Gaia (Earth) trembled.

The composition of Jupiter is 75% water in the form of methane-gas-hydrates. When a planet-creating impact occurs, the heavy elements blasted into space condense to form the hot proto-planet, as is Venus today. However most of the material blasted from that impact on Jupiter, 6,000 years ago (BP) is now water in the form of snowflakes, floating invisibly in the inner solar system, some collecting in the upper atmosphere of proto-Venus and some being collected by the existing planets like the Earth. That water is the source of the hundreds house-sized comets per day spotted by Louis Frank in the NASA Polar satellite UV images. When proto-Venus cools down it will gradually collect this water on its surface to form its oceans. This process ensures that the terrestrial planets will have oceans on their surfaces.
Short period comets are not spheres of ice with a dark covering. They are rocky bodies blasted from priori-Mars when it orbited the Earth between 3700 and 700 BC. Bodies from deeper inside this planet were too hot to contain water, and are called near-earth-asteroids (NEAs) but the near-surface rocks contained aquifers. Comets are merely these rocks, which when heated by sunlight, eject a small amount of water from the aquifers. The water freezes in space and allows the rocky bodies, which would otherwise not be visible, to be seen. There is very little water in the comets and the oceans did not come from volcanoes.
Priori-Mars lost all of its water to the Earth between 3700 and 700 BC, then left the vicinity of the Earth when its solid iron core exited through what is now called the Valles Marineris (on Mars) to become the 'planet' Mercury. This miraculous rejuvenation of the Earth is incomprehensible to modern academia, the 'scoffers' in: 2 Peter 3:3-7.

Water: Where did it come from? « Eccentric Orbits said this on	May 6, 2012 at 8:57 pm
Dale, One catastrophist (Emilio Spedicato of U of Bergamo) has speculated that a planet-sized body with a satellite passed close to Earth and its satellite was captured by the Earth, perhaps at the Younger Dryas. This is a more conventional way of explaining a capture, which does not require an 'energy sink'. And that after some 5,000 years the same planet crashed into Jupiter causing the Little Bang out of which proto-Venus was born. I have always believed it was a rogue asteroid from outside the solar system, perhaps 'steered' to exactly the right spot by a higher power who knew exactly the whole series of subsequent events that rejuvenated the Earth, and then sent the debris (Mercury, Mars, and Venus) to safe stable places in the system. I used to think all of the energy had to be supplied by the kinetic energy of the impacting body, but the realization that a nuclear fusion explosion resulted from the impact, lessens the required size and/or the velocity of the impactor.
According to one paper, the largest S-L 9 fragment, G, was only 1 km in diameter and had a density of only 0.25 at impact, but I maintain that several of these fragments penetrated the atmosphere, struck the surface and initiated fusion explosions. This stems from the appearance of the brightest radiation, called the 'main events', which exhibited the spectra of a number of heavy elements never before observed on Jupiter and more significantly, did not appear above the clouds until 6 minutes after the impact. This suggests that the larger fragments struck the MGH surface, triggering a nuclear explosion, maybe 100 megatons, the equivalnt to a large man-made bomb, and the resulting 'mushroom' cloud required six minutes to rise through the atmosphere above the cloud-tops. Amazingly, the 'accepted' reason given by Mac Low was that the main events were caused by the atoms or molecules from the initial brightning, due to the fragments passing through the thin atmosphere before entering the cloud tops, falling into the denser atmosphere. Upon hearing that explanation, Gene Shoemaker himself said "ridiculous".
John: What kind of body hit Jupiter? If it was solid, where did it come from? ie: If the terrestrial planets are ONLY made this way, then where did this body come from?? IF a comet did it, they why no ejection from Shumaker Levy?? I am curious about this…Thanks

I'm an Algerian PHD student in France, holding a French residency card mention"Scientific" expiring in 2 and 1/2 months. When I applied for 1 entry Visa between 2nd and 9th of August for a conference in shanghai , my application has been rejected. the reason behind that is that the embassy requires 6 months validity of the residency card while applying.
My concern is the fact that this 6 months validity is no where mentioned in the required documents.
Zakaria, yes, six months resident permit is required, according to the embassy.
Can I stay in China with a residence permit if my visa expires?

(Laval, Quebec) - The Rochester Americans (18-6-3-3) tied Friday night's game against the Laval Rocket (11-13-5-2) late in the third period to force overtime before Nick Baptiste scored the game-winning goal with 1:09 left in the extra frame.
With the 3-2 overtime victory, Rochester has notched points in 19 of its last 21 games and 34 points since Nov. 1 while improving 10-1-3-2 while on the road this season. The Amerks remain the only team with one loss in regulation in the AHL and just sit two points behind the first-place Toronto Marlies.
Amerks forward Kyle Criscuolo (2+0) notched his second multi-point performance in the last three outings, and the first multi-goal game of his career, while defenseman Zach Redmond registered his second two-point night in as many games with a pair of helpers. Baptiste scored his sixth goal of the slate along with an assist for his fourth multi-point game of the campaign and shows five points (2+3) in the last six games. Goaltender Linus Ullmark stopped 34 of 36 to improve to 11-1-3 in last 15 starts. The Swedish netminder has a league-best 14 wins on the season.
Michael McCarron recorded two assists while Chris Terry and Eric Gelinas scored for the Rocket despite the overtime loss. Netminder Charlie Lindgren, who entered the first game of the back-to-back set with a career record of 6-0-1 versus Rochester in seven starts, made 25 saves and dropped his second straight overtime decision against the Amerks.
Trailing 2-1 with 1:45 left in regulation and a face-off to the left of Lindgren, the Amerks pulled Ullmark for the extra attacker and used their timeout.
Following the timeout, Criscuolo won the draw to Seth Griffith and darted to the front of the Laval net. As Criscuolo made his way towards the net, Redmond blasted a one-time feed from Matt Tennyson from the left point. Criscuolo redirected the puck into the back of the net and tied the game at 2-2, ultimately forcing overtime.
After the two clubs traded chances in the extra session, Baptiste walked from the left half-boards towards Lindgren and rifled a shot to give the Amerks their third straight win against the Rocket in the eight-game head-to-head series. Baptiste's sixth goal of the season was assisted by Kevin Porter and Redmond with just 69 seconds left in the overtime frame.
Criscuolo opened the scoring at the 8:57 mark of the first stanza before Gelinas knotted the score at 1-1 before the end of the first period. Following the Gelinas tally, Laval took a 2-1 lead with Terry's team-leading 15th goal of the season at the 5:16 mark of the second stanza before the Amerks forced the overtime period.
The Amerks go for the weekend sweep of the Rocket as the teams clash for the second straight night with a rematch on Saturday, Dec. 23 at Place Bell in the final game before the Christmas break. The 7:00 p.m. matchup will be the fourth meeting of the season between the North Division rivals and can be heard live on The Sports Leader 95.7 FM/950 AM ESPN Rochester.

Scientists Discover A New Human Virus

During the 70s and 80s, thousands of people around the world were infected with HIV and hepatitis C after receiving transfusions of blood containing these viruses. Back then, screening wasn't so stringent, nor was the assessment of who is eligible to donate. Now we have better techniques to identify such agents, we should be able to avoid catastrophes like these from happening, which is why a team of scientists has been on the hunt for new transfusion-transmissible agents that we might want to know about.
And they managed to find one: the previously unknown human hepegivirus 1 (HHpgV-1), as it has been named. Although the study, published in mBio, demonstrates the potential of this virus to be passed on by blood products, we needn't get our knickers in a twist just yet. It was only found in a small number of people, some of whom managed to get rid of it, and it has yet to be associated with disease.
The discovery was made after a team of scientists from Columbia University used highly sensitive sequencing techniques to look for changes in the viromes – the viral equivalent of the microbiome – of people given blood transfusions. Samples, both pre- and post-transfusion, came from a total of 44 individuals, all of whom had enrolled into a study on transfusion-transmitted viruses between 1974 and 1980.
After plowing through millions of reads (the viral sequences detected), they came across two individuals who appeared to be infected with a novel virus, but it was only found in their post-transfusion samples. Further analysis revealed that the virus belonged to the same family as hepatitis C virus (HCV) and another virus called human pegivirus – the flaviviruses. While the former can cause deadly liver disease and cancer, the latter, which was previously called hepatitis G virus, actually seems to help HIV patients live longer. Not only do three of its proteins seem to block HIV replication, but the immune systems of individuals co-infected with these viruses seems to be reined in, avoiding excessive activation that actually helps HIV flourish.
In both of these patients, samples taken the day before transfusion and around eight months later were negative for HHpgV-1, which not only suggests that the virus could be transmissible by transfusion, but also that the patients managed to clear it. Neither of these individuals seemed to present any kind of associated disease either.
The researchers then looked at another group of 106 individuals who had received blood transfusions for the bleeding disorder hemophilia. Two of these patients tested positive for HHpgV-1, but this time both of them had persistent infections, one lasting a minimum of 201 days, the other 5.4 years. Again, there were no obvious illnesses linked with infection.
Although we know a lot of about the family of viruses to which belongs, we must be careful about drawing inferences when HHpgV-1 hasn't even been isolated or grown in tissue culture yet, nor do we know how prevalent it is in the general population. Furthermore, just because it's a human virus, that doesn't mean we should immediately fear it. Our bodies are absolutely riddled with viruses, just like they are with bacteria, so it's likely we will find many more as sequencing techniques improve. Still, further studies are warranted to investigate its potential to cause disease, which may lead to even tighter blood screening processes.
