If they go after land-grant universities why not individual landowners as well? Especially land acquired through the Homestead Act?

I've read about the instances of false negative, particularly with the rapid tests, but nobody has ever talked about the possibility of false positives.

Regarding the South Korea cases, are they testing positive and showing symptoms or testing positive and asymptomatic? The latter would not surprise me at all. But that would probably mean they have the possibility of infecting others.

Question for any medical professionals. Let's say my antibody test comes back positive for Covid. Let's assume I was completely asymptomatic, and let's also assume re-infection is not possible. Can I still be a carrier for the virus?

In browsing Abbott's website something that caught my eye was that they would have 20 million antibody tests available sometime in June. The antibody test will only determine if you've had the virus at some point in the past, not if you currently have it. That may be more important than testing if you currently have the virus.

I don't doubt what you say is true, I just don't think it's realistic. There won't be a rapid test one can use in the home, and you would need 9.9 billion kits/month if you tested every single person daily in the U.S. for 30 days. I believe Abbott laboratories said they would have 2 million rapid test kits available for the entire month of June.

So are you advocating for daily, rapid testing? As far as I know Abott Laboratories has the only rapid test available, and it's only available in a medical setting. And this technology is only a month old so I don't know if it's as accurate as PCR based testing. IMO, a vaccine will come before that kind of testing becomes available.

LOL. I had the exact same experience, except the small group of Americans I was with started to cross. We got yelled at in German and stayed on the sidewalk until the light turned green.

Let's say a herbicide gets labelled in wheat for a specific weed. Then there's an 'outbreak' of that same weed in flax. A section 18 label can be applied for to legally use that product in flax. It has restrictions as to how long it can be used for that application. Just curious if something like that could work in the pharma industry.

Stupid question but does the FDA have an emergency provision like the EPA does for herbicide registration?

This could be a really interesting signing. He stood out big time the one time I saw him play. Man against boys type guy.

I think MSU will represent well. Wouldn't be surprised to see 1000-1500 Bobcat fans.

Yeah that was my bad. Like Hammer said he did break two collarbones a total of three times.

Nope. He broke his collarbone in two different seasons. In practice his true freshman season. 1st game his second season. That’s about the only way you can get a sixth year in D1.

Saw Peyton play one time. Looked more like an o-lineman I thought. But I think he will be really good on that side of the ball.

He would have had to miss his 2015 year (the original redshirt year) due to injury. That's the most common way 6th years are granted. That's how Zach Vraa was awarded one anyway.

This is 100% false.

I think Minot State could pull that off if they dropped football. That would be a hard sell in the community.

No to mention the drive from Williston to Browning is beautiful.

I agree with this. I thought Balvitch was the better RB for Davies last year. Maybe he’ll develop into a stud but right now looks like a reach.

Killdeer? It’s 100 miles from Williston to Killdeer. That would be like including Devils Lake in Minot’s population growth.

Pretty sure it would be cost prohibitive to expand. Bound in on one side by the rest of the complex, and Burdick Expressway and Highway 2/52 Bypass on two other sides. It’s a nice little arena though.

Minot St. would support D1 hockey, but they would need a lot of private donor money and institutional funds if they really wanted to compete. The new Pepsi Rink only holds about 1800; they could fill that up most nights with a D1 schedule but that obviously limits the revenue potential.

I think that's maybe just for the stones used at the Olympics. The stones we use in Minot are decades old. I don't know if the NCAA would have tighter specs and they would have to be replaced more often but I don't think it would be a huge concern. And I would definitely be all in on curling being an NCAA sanctioned sport.

Something I find somewhat interesting is how strong Central has become in wrestling. They can't really compete with the west teams but there's no eastern teams that can. It seems they have a coach who is really trying to build a culture there. Maybe wrestling resonates more with that demographic, or perhaps its because wrestling is probably an order of magnitude less expensive to play as a youth compared to hockey?
