CHICAGO WOLVES (20-4-1-1)
AT ROCKFORD ICEHOGS (11-11-1-1)
Friday, Jan. 7 | 7 p.m. | MetroCentre | AHLTV | Facebook Live
AAAANNND…we're back!
In a season filled with record-breaking accomplishments, somehow it makes sense that the Chicago Wolves just set the mark for the longest in-season break in franchise history.
Thanks to COVID-19 protocols that have triggered safety precautions throughout the American Hockey League specifically and society in general, it has been 20 days since the Wolves last took the ice.
So what has happened since the Wolves knocked off the Milwaukee Admirals 4-2 on Dec. 18 at Allstate Arena to extend their winning streak to a franchise-record-tying 12 games? Well, it hasn't been as quiet as you think.
The Wolves have been a part of 13 transactions during their break — with many of them consisting of the NHL's Carolina Hurricanes reassigning the Wolves' most prolific contributors back to Chicago.
If you'll recall, the Wolves played without their top five point-producers — captain Andrew Poturalski, C.J. Smith, Stefan Noesen, Josh Leivo and Jack Drury — for the final two games before the break while they were busy helping the Hurricanes win two games that propelled them to the top of the NHL standings. The quintet combined for two goals (both Drury's), three assists (two for Poturalski, one for Leivo) and a total of 106 minutes, 47 seconds of action in Carolina's wins on Dec. 16 and 18.
Now that the five forwards have returned to Chicago along with defensemen Jalen Chatfield and Max Lajoie, the Wolves have their full roster available for the first time since Nov. 28 — when they defeated Grand Rapids at Allstate Arena for Win No. 3 of the current streak.
SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE STREAKS
When the 1999-2000 Wolves went on their 12-game winning streak from Feb. 25 to March 17, head coach John Anderson preferred to rotate his pair of strong goaltenders: Wendell Young and Andrei Trefilov. During the 12-game winning streak, each started six times. They combined for three shutouts and allowed just 23 goals in those 12 games.
This year, head coach Ryan Warsofsky has rotated goaltenders Alex Lyon and Eetu Makiniemi most of the season. During the current 12-game winning streak that began Nov. 26, Makiniemi and Lyon have taken turns the whole time and made six starts apiece. They have combined for three shutouts and allowed just 21 goals in these 12 games.
For the season, Lyon and Makiniemi have teamed up to play 25 of the Wolves' 26 games. Their collective record is 20-3-2 with a 1.94 goals-against average (49 goals in 1,514 minutes, 47 seconds), a .925 save percentage (606 saves in 655 shots) and their four shutouts pace the AHL. Lyon ranks second in the league with his 1.79 GAA while Makiniemi ranks fourth at 2.06.
we are the wolves
The Chicago-Rockford rivalry is one of the tightest in professional sports.
Entering tonight's clash, the Wolves have won 81 regular-season games and the IceHogs have won 80 since they met for the first time on Oct. 19, 2007 — when the Wolves earned a 5-4 overtime win over the IceHogs and goaltender Corey Crawford at Allstate Arena.
While the teams' win totals are incredibly close, their goal totals are not. The Wolves have racked up 515 goals in their 161 regular-season meetings with the IceHogs — an average of 3.20 per game — while Rockford has produced 461 for an average of 2.86.
LAST TWO GAMES
SATURDAY, DEC. 18: (AT) CHICAGO 4, MILWAUKEE 2
The Wolves produced their franchise-record-tying 12th straight win as they scored almost every way possible: Even-strength, on the power play, short-handed and with an empty net.
Forwards David Gust, Jamieson Rees, David Cotton and Spencer Smallman scored goals while Cotton and Smallman earned the primary assist on each other's goals.
Goaltender Alex Lyon posted 29 saves to win his sixth start in a row.
FRIDAY, DEC. 17: CHICAGO 1, (at) MILWAUKEE 0 (OT)
After 60 scoreless minutes — the 11th scoreless regulation in Wolves history — forward Dominik Bokk scored 2:50 into overtime to give the Wolves their 11th consecutive win.
Bokk's game-winner was unassisted as he dashed up the right wing, pivoted in the high slot and fired a wrister from the top of the left circle that beat goaltender Connor Ingram.
Goaltender Eetu Makiniemi stopped 25 saves for his second shutout and sixth straight win.
2: On Monday, veteran forward Josh Leivo was honored as the AHL's Player of the Month for December. Leivo racked up 14 points (4G, 10A) and one game-winning goal in six games to earn the award. When coupled with captain Andrew Poturalski's Player of the Month honor in October, this marks the first time the Wolves have won a pair of Player of the Month awards in the same season since the AHL originated the award in 2007-08.
3: Today's game starts the Wolves' fourth of five 3-in-3s this season. After going 1-1-1 for the first one (Nov. 12-14), they swept the second one (Nov. 26-28) and the third one (Dec. 16-18) to bookend their current winning streak. The Wolves haven't swept three 3-in-3s in the same season since 2009-10, when Don Lever's squad swept four of their 10 3-in-3 opportunities. The 1998-99 team also won four 3-in-3s.
5: The Wolves rarely take five minutes for fighting, but amazing things happen when they do. They have engaged in just eight fights this season spread out over seven games. In five of those seven games, they trailed at the time of the bout — yet they have wound up on the winning end of all seven games. Those include the Wolves' wins over Rockford on Nov. 12 and Nov. 27. Here's the key stat: The Wolves have trailed by a combined score of 11-6 before their fights, but outscored their opponents 17-1 afterward.
12: The Wolves boast North American professional hockey's longest active winning streak with their 12-game run that began Nov. 26 at Grand Rapids. As mentioned on Page 1 of these notes, they have the franchise record set in 1999-2000. But they're one game shy of the longest AHL winning streak this season: The Utica Comets opened with 13 straight wins on the way to their current 18-2-3-0 mark that leads the North Division and the entire AHL. In related streak news, the Wolves are riding a 13-game point streak (12-0-0-1) because they lost a shootout to Rockford on Nov. 20 in the last game before the wins started flowing. That's just one away from the team point streak record of 14 that has been done three times: in 2007-08, 2009-10 and 2017-18.
29: During the Wolves' 12-game winning streak, head coach Ryan Warsofsky has called on 27 skaters and two goaltenders to keep things moving in the right direction. This group includes five skaters who came up from the ECHL to provide help: Forwards Noah Corson, Stephen Harper, Cedric Lacroix and Kyle Marino and defenseman Eric Williams.
34.69: The Wolves' single-season record for shots per game was set by the 1998-99 squad with 34.65 per outing. That led the 16-team International Hockey League that season — and marks the only time in the Wolves' first 27 years they've led their league in shots per game. This year's crew has a chance to break the team record AND become the second in franchise annals to lead the league. The Wolves average 34.69 shots per game, which owns first place in the 31-team AHL by a smidge over Manitoba (34.52).
416: Since the Wolves played their first game on Oct. 1, 1994, a total of 712 players have suited up for Chicago. Forward Noah Corson became No. 712 when he made his AHL debut Dec. 17 at Milwaukee. When center Jack Drury made his debut with the Carolina Hurricanes Dec. 16, he became the 416th Wolves alum to compete in the greatest league in the world. Put another way, 58.4 percent of all Wolves have played in the NHL.

Stop investing so much in rowing and give that money to basketball
Madeleine Chapman | Contributor
New Zealand currently invests in Olympic medals when it should be investing in viable careers for our athletes, argues Madeleine Chapman.
"Inspiring the nation through winning on the world stage"
That's the core value expressed by High Performance Sport New Zealand, the agency responsible for allocating government funding to national sporting bodies each year. Last week they announced a $36m "investment programme" for New Zealand sport in 2019. The big winners, to nobody's surprise, were rowing and canoe sport, receiving $5.1m and $1.9m respectively. And once again, the big loser was basketball, receiving $150k.
It was frustrating for those in the basketball community, who've been vocal about the lack of funding and resources the sport has received for years. But it was salt in the wound to have the funding announced shortly after it was reported that basketball is now the third most popular sport in New Zealand high schools, behind only netball and rugby. It's also the fastest growing, by far, with a massive 29% increase in participation in the last five years, thanks in large part to the ongoing success of Steven Adams. Ask the average punter and they'd agree that New Zealander Steven Adams is very much "winning on the world stage". So why the dismal investment from HPSNZ in a sport that is third most popular in New Zealand and second most popular globally, a sport that New Zealand continues to punch above its weight in?
The answer lies in the more detailed description of HPSNZ's vision.
"Our vision is to inspire the nation through more New Zealanders winning on the world stage at Olympic and Paralympic Games and world championships in targeted sports."
Winning at the Olympic Games. That's the final goal. That's where all the money goes. And if it were 1975, when there was very little success to be found in sport outside of the Olympics, this funding model would make sense. But today, all it means is a heavy emphasis on niche, minority sports that few adults, and even fewer children, compete in. New Zealand performs better than it should in global sports like soccer and basketball, despite disinterest from funding bodies. But they're not likely to win a gold medal or a world championship anytime soon so their growth is disregarded.
New Zealand began its current funding programme in 2011, emulating funding bodies from Australia and the UK that had turned their focus to medals. That model has since been heavily criticised, with the UK now reviewing their system after ongoing criticism.
Steven Adams isn't likely to win a championship ring in the near future but that hasn't stopped his presence in the NBA from inspiring thousands of young New Zealand kids to take up basketball as their chosen sport. And with a government focused on participation, the success – while not always displayable in a trophy cabinet – of these sports in inspiring kids to be active cannot be overstated.
As I write, Adams is playing for the OKC Thunder against the Chicago Bulls. I have tabs open of New Zealand basketballers playing, and succeeding, on their full athletic scholarships at division one colleges. The Breakers are… underperforming this season, but that doesn't affect the full-time salaries each local player earns, and a history of multiple championships over the past decade.
It's no secret that Adams has a lukewarm, if not chilled, relationship with New Zealand Basketball. It's a result of the lack of support, both financial and other, he received as a promising but poor young basketballer. It's an understandable grievance for Adams, who worked his way to the NBA in spite of BBNZ's level of support, not because of it. But support comes from the top down, and when the Tall Blacks receive $150k for a 12 month programme, there's not a lot left for developing the next generation.

Mahe Drysdale is about to enter his 18th year as an elite rower for New Zealand. That's an impressive career. The most impressive part is that he's managed to have a successful full-time career for almost two decades competing in an amateur sport.
It's funny when sports fans yell that women don't bring in the crowds so why should anyone invest in them, but don't seem to mind their own tax money being invested in sports that bring in even smaller crowds. And it's hard to overlook the fact that the three most funded sports (rowing $5.1, cycling $4.4m, yachting $3.8) are all sports that attract a certain demographic that's wealthy and white (yes I know Storm Uru exists).
It's easy to see why these sports receive more funding, outside of the ingrained societal privilege that I won't get into. If medals are the goal, it's a lot cheaper to fund 15 individual rowers or cyclists who each have a shot at a medal, than to fund 15 players in a basketball squad who collectively can only win one medal. That makes sense, logistically. Except it may not be true.
The irony is that basketball doesn't actually need that much high performance funding. It needs some, of course, more than $150k, because every national team has to travel and attend tournaments somehow. But most of New Zealand's best basketballers are already earning a living playing basketball both here and overseas. Playing basketball is their job. Playing for New Zealand is something they do for pride. But when the sport is so under-resourced that dozens of players are overlooked in their development, there's not a lot of pride to draw from.
For rowers, rowing for New Zealand is their job. And that's the problem. It's a sport that requires year-round funding, where the athletes rely heavily on the government in order for them to compete in their chosen sport. In fact, some of our best young rowers have chosen other, more lucrative pathways – like Ivy League scholarships – and rendered themselves ineligible to row for New Zealand.
New Zealand is now a destination for US college scouts looking for new recruits in their top athletic departments. Full athletic scholarships are being offered to dozens, if not hundreds of New Zealand athletes every year. In sports like basketball, it's a rare opportunity for young brown kids to receive a full college education at a top institution, without the costs. It's allowing athletic but poor kids to succeed at school, and set themselves up for more success later in life.
If their basketball develops enough while at college, whether they're a man or woman, there are opportunities to play basketball professionally all over the world. And when it comes time for New Zealand to compete at a World Champs or Olympics, they'll be there, having not needed any government funding in the interim. That's a pretty bloody good return on minimal investment for the government.
And at the very least, if these young athletes don't go on to professional careers, they may not play for the Tall Blacks, but they'll return to their communities with college degrees, life experience, and a lot more prospects than when they left. What they won't do is be paid by the government to continue playing their chosen sport for the next ten years.
Despite what I've said here, I enjoy watching rowing. It's very exciting to see New Zealand win medals at the Olympics. But any sport that requires such top-heavy funding (canoe sports fall into this category too) to stay alive in New Zealand is the exact type of sport that shouldn't be getting it. Fund the best school rowers (and basketballers), create pathways for them to succeed overseas either at college, professionally, or both, and if they want to compete for their country when the Olympics roll around, support them in that. But don't become a life support for sports that offer no other avenues of success outside of an Olympic medal.

Australia Invests Big in Telehealth
The Australian government is investing A$106 million over four years to support permanent telehealth services, but the government has also made some reimbursement changes that many providers are unhappy with.
Noting that telehealth has been transformational to Australia's universal healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Australian government now plans to pump A$106 million ($76 million) over four years to support permanent telehealth services.
The Australian government said the investment ensures greater flexibility to patients and doctors for the delivery of healthcare, allowing general practitioners, specialists, and allied health professionals to continue consulting with patients by phone or video conference. The government noted that some services are changing to align with evidence and expert advice (more on that below). This will ensure patients receive high quality and high value telehealth as part of the range of Medicare services they use, the government said.
The Hon Greg Hunt MP, Australia's Minister for Health and Aged Care, calls the investment a "once in a generation change to the way healthcare is accessed by the Australian people." Minister Hunt said telehealth will also continue to improve the level of access to quality care, particularly for those in regional, rural, and remote Australia.
HealthcareITNews reports that more than 16 million patients have received more than 80 million COVID-19 telehealth services under the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) since last March. Around 89,000 providers are now using telehealth services, the report says.
HealthcareITNews also reports that the Australian government's new investment in this space includes A$31.8 million ($22.8 million) for the Workforce Incentive Programme, which will provide additional funding to general practices by adding telehealth items in the calculation of Standard Whole Patient Equivalent.
Ongoing MBS telehealth services are available nationally in Australia. Eligibility for general practitioner telehealth services will continue to require patients to have had a face-to-face consultation with their telehealth provider, or another provider at the same practice, in the 12-months before the telehealth service. There are some limited exceptions to this requirement that will continue for patients who are subject to COVID-19 public health orders and for some specific types of general practitioner services.
Experts Worry About New MBS Telehealth Changes
While the government's increased funding to support permanent telehealth services is obviously a win for Australians, some experts say the recent changes to the MBS for telehealth are not.
Changes to the MBS for telehealth items in Australia include the termination of 128 items, amendment of 17 items, and the addition of two items. Many items appear to replace telephone consultations with video consultations or in-person appointments. Detailed factsheets and resources regarding Medicare telehealth services are available on the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) Online website, outlining the changes that took effect at the start of the year.
A study published in October in the Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare pointed out from a survey that Australian patients prefer telehealth via phone than through videoconferencing, probably due to technical difficulties associated with the latter.
Mental health consultations appear to be heavily impacted by the changes, and The Guardian quotes one Australian psychiatrist, Vivienne James, MD who said she is "devastated" by the changes, and that her patients will be "distressed." Guardian Australia revealed how other changes would affect patients, particularly those with cancer.
Will Other Governments Follow Suit?
It may be too soon to say how the global adoption of telehealth services will impact patients in other parts of the world on a permanent basis, but many industry experts are predicting, and perhaps even crossing their fingers and toes, that the trend does indeed stick around after the pandemic ends. Whenever that might be.
"To cope with restrictions brought on by the pandemic and overcrowded hospitals, many providers turned to telehealth and remote monitoring to limit in-person visits, while ensuring patients still had access to regular healthcare," Antoine Robiliard, vice president at Withings, wrote in an article exclusive to MD+DI. "... Suddenly, years of draconian restrictions on telehealth service were removed, allowing the general public to access healthcare remotely. These moves have helped keep vulnerable patients in their homes and away from virus exposure, while allowing them to continue to receive care for their chronic conditions. They also limited the virus from spreading in the community and protected health professionals."
Robiliard oversees health solutions at Withings, the company's B2B division that markets solutions dedicated to the healthcare industry.
If our expert predictions for 2022 are correct (and I would say well beyond 2022 in this particular case), technologies like this will indeed continue to transform both the industry and healthcare systems around the world.
"Pre-pandemic . . . there were a lot of conversations about software as a medical device and interoperability and things like that. But what's accelerated digital health technology and digital transformation is the fact that so many stakeholders are now accelerating the technology and their initiatives because of the way we are operating today, much more remotely, whether its telemedicine or patient engagement with physicians," said Joe Sapiente, vice president of clinical science and technology for the Medical Device Innovation Consortium (MDIC), in an online BIOMEDevice session. "It's definitely not a fad, and it's really picked up in terms of pace and timing." The MDIC is exploring the convergence of connectivity, information, and software in its new Digital Health Initiative.
The consortium has several active programs on software as a medical device, software in a medical device, mobile medical applications, interoperability, wireless medical devices, patient-generated data, and in-silico validation/modeling.

Former Jefferson County Judge Henry "Hank" Wilkins IV, who pleaded guilty on April 30 to conspiring to accept more than $80,000 in bribes in exchange for influencing Arkansas state legislation and transactions during his time in the Arkansas Legislature, is set to be sentenced on Aug. 29 in a Little Rock Federal Court.
A clerk for Chief United States District Judge Brian Stacy Miller said the hearing is scheduled for 11 a.m.
The charge of conspiracy to commit crimes against the United States carries a maximum penalty of not more than five years' imprisonment, not more than a $250,000 fine, and not more than three years supervised release.
Wilkins also pleaded guilty to devising a scheme to conceal the bribe payments as donations to St. James United Methodist Church in Pine Bluff, where he served as a pastor.
According to the court, Wilkins steered approximately $245,000 in Arkansas General Improvement funds to his co-conspirators, one of whom was Milton Russell Cranford, aka "Rusty" of Rogers, Arkansas, who pleaded guilty in June before U.S. Magistrate Judge David P. Rush to one count of federal program bribery.
Cranford was an executive at Preferred Family Healthcare Inc. (formerly known as Alternative Opportunities Inc.), a nonprofit corporation headquartered in Springfield, and oversaw the charity's operations and lobbying efforts in the state of Arkansas.
Cranford also operated three lobbying firms: The Cranford Coalition, The Capital Hill Coalition and Outcomes of Arkansas.
By pleading guilty, Cranford admitted that he and other Preferred Family Healthcare executives paid bribes to Arkansas State Senator Jonathan Woods, Arkansas State legislator Wilkins, who is identified in court documents as "Arkansas Senator A," and others, to provide favorable legislative action for Cranford, his clients, and Preferred Family Healthcare.
In exchange for the bribes paid by Cranford, the officials identified in the Information steered Arkansas General Improvement Fund (GIF) money to Preferred Family Healthcare and other Cranford clients; held up agency budgets; requested legislative audits; and sponsored, filed and voted for legislative bills that favored the charity and Cranford clients.
"During the Feb. 22 interview with the FBI, Wilkins admitted and acknowledged that he received funds totaling approximately $100,000 from and involving Cranford, which were at the time characterized as donations to Wilkins' church, but which Wilkins now admits were bribes for him to perform specific official acts directed by Cranford," The U.S. Attorney's Office said.
"Wilkins further told agents and attorneys for the United States that sometime after it became known there was a federal investigation ongoing, Cranford met personally with Wilkins. During that meeting, Cranford told Wilkins he would continue paying Wilkins' church even though Wilkins had left the legislature.
"By doing this, Cranford stated, it would look like he (Cranford) had not been paying bribes to Wilkins. In addition, Cranford instructed Wilkins to display a plaque on the church's wall to show how Cranford had donated money for a bookshelf for the church. This meeting occurred toward the end of 2014, just before Wilkins left the legislature. During a subsequent meeting between Cranford and Wilkins at Cranford's office, Cranford told Wilkins how he knows he is a member of the church.

In GSOC 2017, Student Vivek attempted to port the needed linux compatibility headers to get DRM functional with minimal changes.
While the GSOC project wasn't completed successfully, some work was done. This ticket is to track what work was done by the student, and to help future analysis of the feasibility of simply wrapping DRM with the needed compatibility libraries.
drm -- later branch, fewer compatibility libraries but looks more refined.
The branches contain a lot of smaller commits. I've squashed them into a single patch each and am attaching them here.
vivek-gsoc2017-drm_1-squash.diff (307.0 KB) - added by kallisti5 21 months ago.
vivek-gsoc2017-drm-squash.diff (235.0 KB) - added by kallisti5 21 months ago.
drm_1 seems to be at least partly based on https://github.com/hamishm/haiku-drm/commits/drm which seems to be doing things in a sane way (trying to use as much of existing Haiku features as possible). I think any future attempt to port DRM should start from there.
Also, the patches you attached are not in git format, which makes them unpractical, and don't apply cleanly already (as they move a lot of files around, this was to be expected).
I rebased Hamish's changes and submitted https://review.haiku-os.org/430 to https://review.haiku-os.org/436 . I'm marking Vivek's patches as obsolete as I don't think there is much more to salvage from them in this format.


This is a healthy alternative to fried fritters, and a very good way to get children, and adults to eat vegetables.
I have used fresh chickpeas and corn on the cob instead of tins, as they have a much nicer taste and no additives. Chickpeas need to be soaked before cooking, and sweet corn can be cooked in the microwave, and the corn shredded off with a sharp knife.
Once you have used fresh corn, you will never go back to the tins of it!
I have served these fingers with rocket, sour cream, and some mango chutney, however they could be served with any salad or even chips baked in the oven.
All the flavours went well together in this recipe to make a delicious meal!
I originally made it as a vegetarian meal, however, at the last moment decided I wanted to add some bacon with it. For those who are not vegetarians, this complemented the flavours of the vegetables.
If baking, as against frying, pre heat the oven to 170°C/150³ fan forced.
If you are using dried chickpeas, soak in plenty of water for 8 hours, or even overnight.
Cook these chickpeas for about an hour in clean water.
Meanwhile if using fresh corn on the cob, cook these for about 15 minutes. It is worth the extra work as they taste quite different to the tinned corn kernels.
Cut down the sides of the corn cobs to remove the actual corn, and then separate them.
Break up these strips so they form normal corn kernels.
Drain the chickpeas and roughly process in a blender or similar.
Whisk the milk and eggs together. Place the flour in a bowl. Gradually add the milk mixture to the flour, mixing until it is smooth.
Stir in the chickpeas, grated zucchini, corn, mint and spring onion.
Put this mixture into a small baking oval dish lined with baking paper, and add a bit of grated cheese on the top. Cook for about 15 minutes.
Cut them into fingers and serve - they can be eaten hot or cold and are great in lunch boxes.
