Roger Brannen is getting ready to take his medicine. It’s a little more involved than some people might be used to. He has to set up his own IV. But Brannen is used to things not being simple at this point. Just over two years ago he got some news that left him shell shocked. “I always describe it as a bomb going off when I got that diagnosis,” Brannen said. If anyone would know what that’s like, it’s Brannen. He was in the U.S. Marine Corps for 28 years and served tours in both Afghanistan and Iraq. So when he found out he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ALS, he thought it was a pretty good metaphor. “You’re processing a lot, like when a bomb goes off, you’re getting that concussion hitting you and you have go react because you don’t know where it came from a lot of the time so you’re trying to make sure the other ones around you are OK but then you also got to make sure that you’re OK,” Brannen said. But he says the diagnosis wasn’t the hardest part. It was telling his kids. “That was the biggest issue to me, trying to explain to my kids that daddy’s not gonna die in two to five years. My son asks me every day, 'you feel better today?' And I’m like, today’s better than yesterday, but I’m still getting up and living,” Brannen said. And that’s one of the reasons Brannen likes to spend time playing video games with his son. “This is what he loves to do, so I have to do something with him to get us closer,” Brannen said. Some time for just the two of them, so they can talk, relax and have fun. But gripping the controller is hard as his muscles and nerves start to degenerate. “The average person probably cramps up once a month, I cramp up more than 20 times a day,” Brannen said.

A federal judge rejected a challenge to the Trump administration's ban on bump-fire stocks Monday.United States District Judge Dabney L. Friedrich ruled against the plaintiffs in two consolidated federal lawsuits challenging a nationwide ban on the devices and asking for an injunction to prevent the ban from going forward and being enforced.Bump-fire stocks came under scrutiny following a deadly 2017 massacre in Las Vegas, in which a gunman rigged his weapons with the devices to kill 58 people and injure nearly 900. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) responded, in part, by reconsidering its definition of machine guns to include "bump-stock-type devices."Bump stocks, also known by the brand name Slide Fire, modify rifles, 771

WALLOPS ISLAND, Va. – It is pretty to look at, but at times, treacherous to encounter: when snowstorms wreak havoc on the ground, it can come with a cost. Yet, because of limited research, snowstorms are not as well-understood as other weather phenomenon. That’s about to change. Inside a noisy hangar at NASA’s Wallops Island facility in Virginia sits a specially outfitted P-3 aircraft, also known as a “snow chaser.” “Snow can have a huge economic impact,” said Lynn McMurdie, principal investigator for a new research project called IMPACTS. “To be able to fly inside the clouds, where the snowflakes form, enables us to study the processes that go into forming the snowflakes that eventually fall down to the earth as snowfall in your backyard.” It’s all part of a five-year, million research project called IMPACTS, which stands for Investigation of Microphysics and Precipitation for Atlantic Coast-Threatening Snowstorms. The team is embarking on its first snowstorm chasing flights this month. “It gets a bit turbulent. The plane is very capable and has great de-icing systems,” said Gerrit Everson, chief of flight operations at Wallops Flight Facility and a NASA pilot. “We would never put our crew or our passengers or the scientists in an unsafe position. So, we do a very good job at mitigating the risk. But, yeah, you do have to be willing to accept a certain degree of turbulence and bumps here and there.” It’s been 30 years since there’s been a major study of snowstorms like this one. What researchers are hoping to find out this time around isn’t just where the snow is going to fall, but how intense that snowfall might be. “People think the forecasting is really easy and simple, but it's actually very complicated,” McMurdie said. “Hopefully, we will be doing a better job so we can help joe citizen know what to do when there is a storm threatening.” Beyond that, scientists hope to also learn how snowfall can impact the water supply all over the planet. “We need water to survive and we need to understand how the water goes through the whole earth system,” McMurdie said.It’s a global ecosystem where winter wonderlands play a crucial part. 2186
