The Week In Russia: Sanctions, Seagal, and Sentsov
Weeks after the first summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, U.S. officials announced a fresh volley of sanctions against Russia and warned that more may be on the way, while Moscow appointed action-movie actor Steven Seagal as a special envoy for cultural ties. In a Russian prison, hunger-striking Crimean filmmaker Oleh Sentsov's condition was called "catastrophic."

The Week In Russia: Mercenaries, Mining, And More Pension Woes
Three seasoned journalists were shot dead as they were investigating Russian military contractors and mining interests far beyond the country's borders, while pension-reform plans put millions of people back home in a protest mood and exposed rifts in the ruling party.

The Week In Russia: The Torture Problem And The Second-Summit Dilemma
A harrowing video of an inmate's beating shone a bare-bulb spotlight on Russia's prison-torture problem. And a second summit meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin was pushed into 2019 while the United States reaffirmed its rejection of Moscow's takeover of Crimea, raising further questions about Russia's concrete gains from the Trump-Putin talks in Helsinki.

The Week In Russia: Summit Shortcomings, Pension Perils
From Washington to Moscow, the summit in Helsinki was widely seen as a big win for Vladimir Putin. But despite President Donald Trump's follow-up invitation for Putin to visit the White House within months, the meeting may have fallen short of some of the Kremlin's more ambitious expectations. And when it was over, Putin returned home to a country facing the prickly problem of pension reform, with trepidation over planned retirement-age hikes denting his popularity.

The Week In Russia: World Cup Hosts Advance, Retirement Recedes
Vladimir Putin edged closer to a long-awaited meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, and Russian soccer fans reveled in decisive wins that moved the underdog host country past the group stage of the World Cup. But millions of Russian citizens got less welcome news, as the government pushed to raise the retirement age and lawmakers voted on language-education legislation that ethnic minorities fear could erase their cultures.

The Week In Russia: Putin's World Cup, A G7 Boost, And The Trump-Kim Summit
Vladimir Putin welcomed soccer fans from around the globe to the first World Cup staged in Russia, got an invite of sorts from Donald Trump to rejoin the G7, and looked on from afar as Trump held a historic meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
May 18, 2018
The Week In Russia: Crossing To Crimea, Stumbling On Sanctions
President Vladimir Putin got some extra mileage from Moscow's takeover of Crimea by opening a bridge to the peninsula, while Russia struggled to respond to the latest U.S. sanctions without harming itself at a time when it can ill-afford further damage to its fragile economy.
Some of the key developments in Russia over the past week, and some of the takeaways going forward, by RFE/RL's News Editor Steve Gutterman.

Let's face it: the cellular service providers all suck. Which one has the most dropped calls? It's just a matter of which provider sucks less, and now we find out the United States government is helping these weasels. Thanks to the FCC, we'll never know for sure which cellphone provider tops the all-time suckage list.
That's because even though the FCC has been collecting information about cellular network outages since 2004, the federal agency is keeping that information secret, even after TV news network MSNBC filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the outage data.
Why wouldn't the FCC spill the beans? "National security risks," the chickenshit bureaucrats whined. Gee, thanks for looking out for us, Uncle Sam. Protect those moneygrubbing corporate predators, while the rest of us keep asking, "Can you hear me now?"

ORANGE COUNTY – With the Chapel Hill town council and Carrboro board of aldermen elections coming in November, three more candidates have announced that they will be running for the available seats.
In Chapel Hill, Maria Palmer, former state board of education member and school principal, as well as a Christian pastor, filed to run for the town council.
George Cianciolo announced that he will file for town council on Thursday. Cianciolo was a member and chair of several boards and committees in Chapel Hill, including the transportation board and Chapel Hill 2020 where he was co-chair. Cianciolo is currently an associate professor of pathology at Duke. There are four available seats on the Chapel Hill town council.
In Carrboro, current alderman Sammy Slade filed to run for re-election. There are three seats on the board of aldermen available, including Slade's.
Palmer says her work as an educator and a pastor has given her experience in community outreach and taking with groups around the area. In addition, she says her work as a teacher gives her insight into educational issues around the town.
"The education work has helped me to see some things that the town can do to help the schools that serve the community," Palmer says.
For Cianciolo, he believes his participation in so many development boards has helped him learn to negotiate with differing sides of an issue.
"You had to deal with people who had a lot of different opinions and what we've had to look for is consensus," Cianciolo says. "I think that's going to be an important part of seeing Chapel Hill 2020 implemented."
Among the issues Palmer sees in Chapel Hill are a lack of bus access for all citizens, which she worked on during Chapel Hill 2020, and a lack of focus on jobs in the town beyond those that require college degrees.
"We don't have enough opportunities and training for folks to do skilled work and we import workers from other communities and then they don't have anywhere to live," Palmer says. "In fact, there are many professionals who can't afford to live in Chapel Hill."
But beyond local politics, Palmer sees the biggest threat to Chapel Hill coming from the state's General Assembly. Palmer was arrested while protesting the cuts proposed in the state's budget, which she calls "a tragedy."
"What the legislature is doing is going to affect Chapel Hill tremendously," Palmer says. "It's cutting the education budget, it's slashing funding for the university."
Cianciolo says development of the Chapel Hill 2020 ideas should be one of the town's biggest goals, to be make sure that the town also be mindful of rising residential tax rates. He says the goal of many to mitigate property taxes with more commercial taxes will never reach the 70-30 ratio that many want.
"We just don't have enough buildable land, enough areas or enough of a public to support that level of commercial in Chapel Hill," Cianciolo says.
Cianciolo says the dwindling supply of affordable housing in the town is one of the biggest challenges Chapel Hill will face in the future.
"The recent floods in Chapel Hill have even heightened the need for affordable housing, as some of the houses that were lost provide some of the most affordable housing in the town," Cianciolo says.
In Carrboro, Slade says his work on the board of aldermen has focused on curbing climate change and lowering the town's carbon emissions seven percent annually.
"We have been able to accomplish the WISE program, which retrofitted some homes and we have a revolving loan fund for retrofitting commercial buildings," Slade says. "I count those as parts of my accomplishments."
In addition, Slade says he's worked to develop Carrboro's downtown and tie it in with a communal economy and the town's continued struggle for public parking.
"We're pressuring toward reducing further the parking supply so that we're encouraging people to bike, walk and use public transportation," Slade says.
Slade adds that affordable housing is going to become an even larger issue in Carrboro's future, with Section 8 funds, which are funds for low-income residents to pay for rent, no longer being accepted in parts of the state.
"A lot of apartments recently announced that they're no longer going to be accepting Section 8, and that represents a big loss for affordable housing in our town," Slade says.
Filing for local government seats in OrangeCounty ends July 19 at noon.

More than mansions Opulent estates embody America's Gilded Age
NEWPORT, R.I. -- Bellevue Avenue, home to a series of eye-catching mansions that famously embody America's Gilded Age, crams enough history in a two-mile strip to be a city unto itself.
Now, to accommodate both history buffs and casual passers-by, the nonprofit organization that owns and operates the historic mansions has created a self-guided walking trail linking 11 historic clusters of properties along the avenue.
Markers outside the properties help identify the trail while detailing the buildings' history, architectural style and giving cultural commentary. They even include descriptions of neighboring buildings that have been demolished, or are simply less well known.
"We tell the stories of each individual house, and yes, you can reference one house with another, but we felt we didn't have an effective medium for linking the whole neighborhood together and telling the whole story," said John Tschirch, an architectural historian and director of museum affairs for the Preservation Society of Newport County, which owns most of the city's famous mansions and opens them to the public as tourist destinations.
"You get a rich experience in each house, but we wanted to give the experience of the whole streetscape and the urban plan," he added.
There are about six homes in each of the clusters. Among the best known homes are The Elms, Chateau-sur-Mer and Rough Point, once the home of tobacco heiress Doris Duke.
Some of the homes are private; many of those that are not private are open to visitors during certain hours.
The four-year trail project was completed in November and cost roughly $35,000, most of which was given by a private donor. It is similar in intent to the red-brick Freedom Trail in Boston, though the pale-green markers in Newport are designed to blend into the neighborhood.
The markers read like a list of who's who of wealthy dignitaries and socialites from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The sign outside the Preservation Society's headquarters, for instance, reveals that it once was the home of Herbert Pell, a congressman from New York and the father of Claiborne Pell, who represented Rhode Island in the U.S. Senate for 36 years.
A nearby Gothic Revival house, the marker says, was built for Albert Sumner, the brother of Charles Sumner, a senator from Massachusetts who in 1856 was badly beaten on the Senate floor by a South Carolina congressman after delivering an anti-slavery speech.
The markers also offer assorted tidbits of information, obscure and well-known alike. Visitors are reminded not only that the film version of "The Great Gatsby" was shot at Rosecliff, but that decades earlier, the mansion's owner, Nevada silver heiress Theresa Fair Oelrichs, dressed as Mother Goose at a special "Fairy Tales" ball.
The trail also highlights the Sherwood home, where an engagement party for John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier was once held. The building has been converted into apartments.
The markers tell of fights over preservation, demolition and the fate of an unsightly junkyard that some wealthy residents considered a blight. Each one includes a section called "Voices from the Past" -- typically a quote from a newspaper or magazine offering commentary on the homes and on Newport society.
"Since the passing of the Gilded Age that these houses symbolize, two wars, a long depression, high-income taxes and a shortage of servants have dimmed Newport's splendor. The doors of these villas will never be opened again," a 1944 Life magazine article posited.
Dawn Cochran, 38, who works at a bank and was taking a morning stroll down the avenue, said the trail is a good idea, even for locals such as herself.
"Living here all my life, I don't know the history of Newport," she said.
The first signs went up several years ago to a positive reception, Tschirch said. Of course, there are many Newport attractions -- for instance, the Breakers, the most-visited and spectacular of the city's mansions -- that don't get recognized on the trail.
Tschirch hopes to ultimately expand the project to other streets to help visitors better appreciate the city's rich history.
"Newport was America's architectural treasure chest and, as a result, those architects, landscape designers were shaping American culture or contributing to American culture just like painters and writers," he said.

Transitioning Out of the Military: Are You Ever READY?
The prospect of leaving military life can produce a wide spectrum of feelings.
Some are ready to have a break from the op tempo. They are ready to leave deployments, TAD/TDY trips, long field exercises, and frequent moves in the rear view mirror. They are eager for their lives to be their own again. Perhaps they are excited about moving back to their hometown.
Others are not ready to enter the civilian world again.
They miss the adventure of moving to new places, having a secure paycheck, and the camaraderie of the military community. The thought of having to figure out what they want to do in their "second life" can be daunting.
Then there are those who feel all of the above.
They may flip-flop between being ready to leave one day to experiencing anxiety about it the next. To throw another twist into the situation, the servicemember may feel one way about it while the spouse feels another.
In short, transitioning out of the military is a big life change and one that can be full of a variety of emotions for all members of the family.
My husband was ready to retire.
He had his eyes set on the horizon and was ready to leave his military career behind. He was finishing up his MBA degree in preparation for employment in the civilian world and was eagerly networking for a job.
Me? I was not ready to go. I loved our military life.
Serving military families is my passion. The majority of my employment and volunteer activities have revolved around the military, to include working and volunteering for the National Military Family Association. My husband's new job moved us away from a large military community to an area where most people cannot even relate to us.
To be honest, I have been "home sick" for our military community and feeling very displaced. And my husband, who was originally ready to leave, misses being in the Marines.
Emotionally, our transition out of the military has been harder than we expected. It may sound odd, but we are almost having a bit of an identity crisis.
Financially, we thought we were prepared.
We had figured out how much my husband needed to earn to replace his base pay and BAH while allowing me to remain a full-time mom to our children. When he was offered a job, my husband spent hours reworking our family budget with his new income, the rent and utilities for the house in our new location, gasoline for the mileage he'd have for his new commute, our expected taxes and so forth.
After we moved, two things caught us off guard:
- The first was something we should have predicted but didn't… our grocery expenses increased because we no longer had access to a commissary.
- The second was something we had taken for granted until we moved to a non-military area… the savings we had received from military discounts came to an end. For example, while living in a military community, we had been getting discounts from civilian businesses out in town for our son's toddler gym classes and our children's haircuts. The same companies that provided those services are located in our new non-military area, but they are owned by different franchisees who do not offer military discounts. It did not even occur to us that we would lose those savings after we moved.
Is your military family transitioning to civilian life in the next 2 years or have you transitioned in the past 24 months? What did you wish you would have known? The National Military Family Association has launched a Transition Survey and wants to hear from YOU!
We know service members have transition support, but spouses do not. We are creating a military Spouse Companion to the Transition GPS program. Help us help military spouses like YOU! Hurry the survey closes on June 4. Oh, and by the way – for taking the survey you'll be entered into a drawing to win one of three gifts cards! Don't delay – take the Transition Survey today!

The Granddaddy's Great -- Event Coverage -- Custom Classic Trucks
The 57th Annual Grand National Roadster Show
When a new vintage custom truck and car show season rolls around, we're more than ready to bring our camera gear out of hibernation. Though the amount of time from the last show we've been to until the Grand National Roadster Show in January is typically one month, it always seems as if more time has passed. Why is that, you might ask? The easy answer is, collectively, we're a bunch of gearheads who can't wait to see the latest and greatest custom creations. The other part of the answer is that the GNRS never disappoints. Steeped in history, the show has been produced 57 years. Known by many as The Oakland Roadster Show, for 54 years the event was held in various Northern California cities.
Since 2004, the GNRS has graced the Pomona Fairplex complex in Southern California. We SoCal dwellers may feel guilty that one of the country's greatest automotive shows is no longer held in its birthplace, but we'll never admit to it. We pray the GNRS stays here. The event certainly draws top-notch participants and plenty of spectators. On Saturday, we could hardly get attendees out of the way long enough to photograph the next great pickup.
We saw creations from young emerging pro builders who astonished all our senses, and were amazed by new custom creations from established shops that made us realize why these builders had such great reputations. There were also many home-built vehicles as impressive as the professionally constructed customs. If we had the money and the technology, we'd transport every one of CCT's readers to the GNRS. In full-color and in person is the absolute best way to experience the show. If we ever develop a teleporter, as is used on TV's Star Trek, we'll beam y'all to the event. Until then, enjoy some of the standout moments from the 2006 Grand National Roadster Show in words and photos. For more information about the GNRS, visit www.hotrodshows.com.

France 33-10 Ireland, Six Nations Championship, February 13
France raise the bar in Paris
Graham Jenkins at the Stade de France
February 13, 2010

Rarely does a sequel live up to the standards set by an original - think Teen Wolf Too, Caddyshack 2 or even Rocky II. But France's crushing Six Nations victory over Ireland at the Stade de France can lay claim to being even better than their impressive showing in clinically dismantling Scotland at Murrayfield last weekend. This was the Godfather Part II and almost as brutal in its own way.
The physicality that disposed of the Scots was again key to their success but it was laced with some breathtaking adventure that lit up an otherwise gloomy, and bitterly cold, day in Paris and which ultimately brought an end to Ireland's 12-game unbeaten run.
Wales and Scotland laid down the gauntlet in Cardiff with a pulsating clash and France and Ireland rose to the challenge with an incredible opening. The hosts displayed a thrilling willingness to run the ball from anywhere and in doing so dispelled the ridiculous notion offered by some that they had forsaken their flamboyant instincts in favour of a more power-based direct approach. The truth is that coach Marc Lievremont has conjured an ominous combination of the two that will have their Six Nations rivals rightly worried.
This is no ordinary Irish side they swept aside and mark my words - no other team in this Championship is going to beat them by 20+ points and force them to live off the kind of scraps offered by a stubborn French defence. As crowd-pleasing and headline-grabbing the attacking flair is, it the intensity of the defensive effort that is what currently stands this side apart from the rivals - most notably when the game was won.
This defeat will obviously be hard to take for an Irish side that has become accustomed to winning over the last couple of years - and it may be a little harder to stomach considering that they did not play badly - they just weren't allowed to play. They tried to meet fire with fire in the opening exchanges and could boast superiority at the lineout and parity at the scrum but eventually they had little answer to a French side determined to snuff out any hint of a danger at its source.
They certainly didn't help their own cause either with two rash moments of indiscipline that underlined the pressure they were feeling. Cian Healy's tug on the lively Morgan Parra was a blatant infringement to rank alongside Alun-Wyn Jones' indiscretion against England last Saturday. Ireland leaked 10 points in his absence and as the Welsh found out to their cost - it is near impossible to counter such a setback and Ireland were playing catch-up from that point on.
His error was followed by another from hooker Jerry Flannery who fly-hacked France winger Alexis Palisson but some how managed to escape a severe reprimand when he could have easily seen red. Instead it brought a premature end to Palisson's match, the wing having caught the eye until that point.
The eagerly awaited match-up between Ireland's Brian O'Driscoll and France's Mathieu Bastareaud failed to materialise with an early injury to the Irishman appearing to strike at the heart of his side's effort. O'Driscoll was still as industrious as ever but his backline struggled to escape the constant pressure exerted by their hosts. Bastareaud was unable to add to the two tries he notched last weekend but his sublime off-load to fullback Clement Poitrenaud for France's third try was equally of note.
The most eye-catching duel was between the No.8s - Ireland's Jamie Heaslip and France's Imanol Harinordoquy. The two giants traded barn-storming runs and big hits in an entertaining head-to-head that reminded us of the Frenchman's class and hastened his Irish rival's ascent to that elite group.
The Man of the Match was France fly-half Francois Trinh-Duc, who must have edged out his half-back partner Parra for the honour. Together they set the tone for an energetic team performance - answering those critics who had bemoaned their failure to capitalise on their side's dominance at Murrayfield. Trinh-Duc continues to grow in confidence while Parra also appears he belongs - and is here to stay.
La Marseillaise was ringing around the stadium midway through the second half - never a good sign for an opposing side - but to their credit Ireland's work-rate did not drop and they were rewarded with a try after a rare lapse from the home side but there was to be no late flurry of activity as there had been between these sides in 2006, and 2008 and in Cardiff only hours before. Of immediate concern to the Ireland camp in the wake of this game will be the physical toll it has taken on them with O'Driscoll and fullback Rob Kearney a worry with a trip to Twickenham awaiting them in a fortnight's time.
Welsh fans who may have spent the afternoon cowering behind the sofa as their team toyed with their emotions may be seeking solace there again with the prospect of France coming to town for the latest Friday Night Lights later this month. No matter your natural allegiance, it is nigh impossible not to be in awe of their approach and when it comes off - the end result.
It is hard to imagine this is the same side, albeit a little different, totally outclassed by New Zealand just a couple of months ago. What that says about the current state of northern hemisphere rugby is a debate for another day but for now they are looking a class apart.

A prime number not equal to $2$ and $5$ can't have last digit equal to $2,4,5,6$ and $8$.
Is it true that this is the only restriction on last digits of prime numbers? I mean if its true that for any sequence of digits with last digit not equal to $2,4,5,6$ and $8$ there exists a prime number with given sequence of digits?

First Warning Systems Bra Detects Breast Cancer
Could a woman discover if she has breast cancer by just putting on a bra? One development company says yes.
The Huffington Post is reporting that Lifeline Biotechnologies has been creating and testing out a "smart bra" called First Warning Systems, which they describe as a "novel breast health screening device and method based on disruptive technology and tissue health science."
According to First Warning Systems, studies were conducted in more than 650 women, resulting in an average detection of at least 90 percent. They compared testing with the standard mammogram, which, according to them, averages 70 percent of accuracy.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. About 210,203 women in the United States were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008 and 40,589 died. Breast cancer is also the most common cancer among Latinas.
"The First Warning System is capable not only identifying breast tissue abnormalities at their earliest stages, but can also identify the general location of such abnormalities in three dimensions to each of the four quadrants of each breast," said a release by Lifeline Biotechnologies, a medical technology company licensing the bra.
"It is, therefore, not intended as an additional step in the breast cancer screening process, but as an accurate identifier of early breast abnormalities which generate heat via the presence of new blood vessels that nourish the area in question."
The bra, which would be worn at a physician's office, has 16 color-coded sensors that are taped to the patient's breast. The sensors would then measure temperatures at programmed times over a predetermined testing period. The data is then stored in a recording device worn by the patient. Once the test period is over, the patient then submits the device to their doctor. The sensors are removed, the data is downloaded and then analyzed. Once a report is returned to the physician, the patient will be called in to discuss any clinical recommendations.
The Susan G. Komen Foundation states that many mammograms that detect abnormal tissues eventually turn out to be false positives.
While this new breast cancer detector could become a major breakthrough in making testing easier for women, medical experts believe more studies are required before being actively used.
"Most investigational medicines and medical devices, even those based on sound scientific and technical principles, do not end up being adopted into clinical practice," says Dr. Ted Gansler, Director of Medical Content for the American Cancer Society. "The main reason is that once these new products are rigorously tested in clinical trials, the result of the study is that they are less effective than current practices."
Dr. Gansler also explains that disregarding mammography would have harmful, serious effects.
"A woman who chooses any breast cancer screening test based on thermography instead of mammography would be making a serious mistake that could have fatal consequences. Major medical and public health organizations all recommend mammography and none recommend thermography or any other tests based on temperature measurements for early detection of breast cancer."
Dr. Michele Doughty, who has conducted extensive research on how breast cancer affects women of various races differently, thinks the bra could be used as part of an overall test without replacing mammography.
"There needs to be more research and studies on the long term effects of the bra because they must contain some kind of ultraviolet ray component or chemical component," says Dr. Doughty. "Mammograms and the bra just screen for breast cancer. The only way to actually detect breast cancer is through a biopsy where the specimen is found in the lab."
Smart Planet is reporting that if more successful clinical trials occur, the bra, which will be sold for $1,000, could be available in Europe next year and then in the U.S. in 2014.

should our organisation consider the option to customise the Job
Role and Department demographics on the employee survey?
We offer
the option for programme participants to customise these survey demographics
for a number of reasons:
If you list
your organisation's unique Job Role and Department titles
on the survey, then employees who come to those sections can more
readily identify which titles are appropriate for them to choose.
Employees will be less likely to simply select "Other"
because they aren't sure how to answer. As a result, your
response data in the Job Role and Department demographic categories
will be more accurate and more valuable to you in pinpointing individual
areas of strength and opportunity.
Some companies
choose to customise in order to maximise the amount of response
data they're able to receive for review. To maintain respondent
anonymity, we do not report any response data for less than 5 individuals
in any one demographic category. By grouping smaller roles and departments
together, you will be more likely to capture 5 or more responses
than if you had used the multiple categories found on the standard
allows you to focus on any specific employee demographics that you
would like to measure. For instance, some companies customise their
survey to eliminate the Job Role and Department titles entirely
and only capture "Exempt" versus "Non-exempt"
demographics. Other employers designate separate geographic office
locations instead of Departments.
The standard
Job Role and Demographic survey categories can be found on the last
page of the Employee Engagement and Satisfaction Survey (see the
"Assessment Process"
link on the program website). To view how the respondent data will
be presented, please click on the Employee Demographic Report sample
found under "Employee
Feedback Reports."
If you have
any further questions regarding customisation of the employee survey,
please feel free to contact Susan Springer, Survey Specialist, at

STOCKTON - Yael Castillo slipped on a prosthetic arm the other day and flexed the device's two prongs to pick up tennis balls and toss them into a bucket, to lift a can of soda and drink from it, even to grasp a pen and sign his name.
STOCKTON - Yael Castillo slipped on a prosthetic arm the other day and flexed the device's two prongs to pick up tennis balls and toss them into a bucket, to lift a can of soda and drink from it, even to grasp a pen and sign his name.
Was there anything he couldn't do with the artificial limb?
"Maybe use a touchscreen phone," Castillo said.
The prosthesis cost $19.44 to build. It was designed and constructed by Castillo and fellow Stagg High School students Brooklyn Omstead, Anthony Nichols and Gabriel Zuniga. Today at University of the Pacific, Stagg's prosthetic arm just might pick up one more thing. It might grab the Math Engineering Science Achievement, or MESA, state championship.
"For less than $40, they had to design something to replace the arm and hand," explained Stagg's MESA teacher, Andrew Walter.
Last year, Stagg students including Omstead won the national MESA championship with the wind turbine they built. This year, MESA participants nationwide were called upon to design and build prosthetic arms that could be of use to the roughly 65,000 people in the United States who annually undergo an amputation. If Stagg's team wins today, it will try to repeat its MESA national championship next month in Portland, Ore.
The Stagg foursome designed and built its prosthetic device, starting in November, over the course of more than 700 hours. As if designing the gadget wasn't enough, MESA competitions require students to write a seven-minute speech about their creation and to create a display board and a PowerPoint. Writing and presentation skills are as important a part of the MESA process as the scientific aspect.
"They turn out to be a fairly well-rounded group by the time they're finished," said Walter, whose MESA program has about 130 participants.
Stagg's prosthesis was fashioned from 26 different items, none of which cost an arm and a leg because the MESA projects are required to be built with thrift in mind. Stagg's students used duct tape, air tubing, a bit of sofa cushion, PVC pipe, football padding, fishing line and 20 other materials.
Though all of Stagg's supplies were donated, the students were required to price the items online and provide documentation of the total cost of building their arm. Walter said the students also received another donation: a spare prosthetic arm from a Stagg teacher who is an amputee. From this, Walter said, the students were able to do "reverse engineering" as they conceived their own prosthesis.
Stagg High students are among more than 1,500 elementary, middle school and high school students from the region who receive support from Pacific's MESA center. The Stagg teammates competing today say learning by working on a project is vastly more engaging than sitting in a classroom listening to a lecture. They say the active learning develops their brainpower.
"It gives you a new way to look at things," said Omstead, a 16-year-old junior. "It teaches you to problem-solve. You can take that and use it in other situations and be more effective in the way you think."
There's also a practical benefit, Walter said, to getting students excited about science, technology, engineering and math - STEM for short.
"STEM fields is where it's at," Walter said. "STEM is where the United States unfortunately is falling farther and farther behind, and that's where most jobs are opening up."
Walter's students worked collaboratively to prepare for today's event. The 18-year-old Castillo, a senior, was the lead builder with assistance from Nichols, a 17-year-old junior. Omstead designed the team's academic display board. Zuniga, a 16-year-old sophomore, did the technical writing. In developing their prosthesis, the students learned about kinetic and stored energy, kinesiology and anatomy, among many other things.
"You get to test your ideas and see whether they work or not," Nichols said.
Zuniga added, "It's fun, and at the same time you get to learn new things."

Click here to view the CfM press release regarding the CPM2000 Study!
The long-awaited study of home births attended by CPMs during the year 2000 is finally here!
"Outcomes of planned home births with certified professional midwives: large prospective study in North America." Kenneth C Johnson, senior epidemiologist, Betty-Anne Daviss, project manager. BMJ 2005;330:1416 (18 June).
The BMJ has published the paper on-line. Read it at http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/330/7505/1416?ehom
in the June 18 issue of the North America British Medical Journal, the
study found that "planned home births for low risk women in the United
States are associated with similar safety and less medical intervention
as low risk hospital births" according to the BMJ press release (see
Co-author Ken Johnson has stated that this is the largest study of its kind at this time. The
study is prospective (initial data submitted before the birth took
place, so no births could be "left out") and includes data from more
than 5000 births in the U.S and Canada. This study cannot be written off for being too small or not relevant to US populations and circumstances.
BMJ also has a "rapid response" feature, where readers can post letters
about articles (comments, responses, etc.). As the BMJ states: "Think of Rapid Responses as electronic letters to the editor." On the BMJ home page www.bmj.com
find "Interactions" in the menu list on the left, and choose "Rapid
Responses" for more information. CfM is posting a rapid response
you like to see your local newspaper report about this study? The BMJ
will have posted their press release to wire services, but this study
may not be considered hot news by very many newspapers. However,
midwifery advocates all over the country can help get news attention on
this study, especially if your state is working on midwifery
legislation. You may even be able to use this study as a way to bring a fledgling group and its work to positive public attention. The
best situation is when someone already has a relationship with a news
reporter at your local newspaper (you have talked with them before, you
have given them any news tips, etc.). Call up your contact and talk
with them about this study and its relevance in your community, offer
them the BMJ press release (see below) and additional information from
author Betty-Anne Daviss (see below). If
you have a local birth network or birth-related advocacy group of any
kind, make sure to let the reporter know how the study is relevant to
your group and what it is doing. If you don't already have a contact at
your local paper, you could use this study as a reason to pick up the
phone and begin a relationship.
you read the study (it is not difficult to understand), you will find
many points that can be made; here are a few to start with:
study demonstrates unequivocally that for "low risk" mothers, home
birth attended by a CPM results in outcomes comparable to low risk
births in the hospital – ie CPM-attended planned home births are safe
for mothers and babies.
the fact that the midwives in the study included many who were not
well-integrated into the health care system, mothers and babies that
did need medical attention were appropriately identified and
transported to hospitals and got the care they needed; otherwise, we
would not see the good outcomes that are comparable to hospital birth
fewer interventions were performed on mothers planning home births than
on comparable mothers giving birth in hospitals, which suggests that
many of those interventions are unnecessary. Such unnecessary
interventions are costly and are associated with increased
complications for mothers and babies.
the study shows that for healthy women, a planned home birth with a
trained midwife (ie, a CPM), is a safe and reasonable choice for
maternity care, supported by the evidence. If maternity care is "scientific" women everywhere should have access to midwives and out-of-hospital birth.
Press Release from BMJ
Planned home births in the United States are safe, say researchers.
of planned home births with certified professional midwives: large
prospective study in North America BMJ Volume 330, pp [to be added]
Planned home births for low risk women in the United States are associated with similar safety and less medical intervention as low risk hospital births, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Midwives involved with home births are often not well integrated into the healthcare system in the United States and evidence on the safety of such home births is limited.
of medical intervention, such as epidural, forceps and caesarean
section, were lower for planned home births than for low risk hospital
births. Planned home births also had a low mortality rate during labour
and delivery, similar to that in most studies of low risk hospital
births in North America.
high degree of safety and maternal satisfaction were reported, and over
87% of mothers and babies did not require transfer to hospital.
study of certified professional midwives suggests that they achieve
good outcomes among low risk women without routine use of expensive
hospital interventions," say the authors. "This evidence supports the
American Public Health Association's recommendation to increase access
to out of hospital maternity care services with direct entry midwives
in the United States."

MOUNT VERNON, Iowa (Blugolds.com) – In a game where neither team led by more than seven points, the UW-Eau Claire women's basketball team fell short in the end, 75-68, at Cornell College (Iowa) today.
The Blugolds held Cornell scoreless for the first two minutes and took a 4-0 lead to start the game. Eau Claire led by as many as five points and never trailed over the first seven minutes.
Just over seven minutes into the game, Cornell took its first lead of the day, and the teams then went back and forth for the next few minutes. The Rams then went on a 13-5 run for four minutes and took a six-point lead (32-26) with 2:25 remaining in the first half.
Eau Claire was able to hold Cornell scoreless for the rest of the half and used a 7-0 run before halftime to take a one-point lead (33-32) into the locker room.
The teams again stayed close in the second half as the lead changed hands five times while the score was tied two other times.
After Cornell got up by six (59-53) with less than eight minutes to play, Eau Claire went on a 9-2 run to take a one-point lead. But that was the last time the Blugolds would lead as the Rams outscored the Blugolds 14-6 the rest of the way to win 75-68.
Courtney Lewis (So.-Prairie Du Chien, Wis.) led the game with a career-high 20 points while Cady Roedl (Fr.-Beaver Dam, Wis.) added 14 points, 12 of which came from beyond the arc, and led the game with eight assists. Sarah Bingea (Sr.-Delano, Minn.) tied for a game-high nine rebounds
Cornell narrowly outshot the Blugolds 48.3 percent (29-for-60) to 46.4 percent (26-for-56) and led the rebounding advantage 38-28. Both teams committed 19 turnovers.
Eau Claire is now 1-3 on the season while Cornell improves to 3-0.
Thursday the Blugolds will be back at home for a game against Wartburg College (Iowa). Action will get underway in Zorn Arena at 7 p.m. for Faculty/Staff Appreciation Night.

Please Note: There are several recipes listed on this page. Please scroll down the page, to find the recipe you are seeking. Thank you!
Festive Stuffed Shells
Makes 4 to 6 servings
20 to 22 jumbo pasta shells
3 to 4 large russet potatoes, baked and cooled (see note)
1/4 cup unsweetened nondairy milk
1/2 cup diced yellow or sweet onion (about 1 small onion)
1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 cups lightly packed baby spinach, finely chopped
1 1/3 cups Dad's Marinara (see below) or your favorite prepared marinara sauce, plus more for serving
Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the shells. Decrease the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shells are almost cooked, but still quite firm. Drain and let cool.
Meanwhile, slice each potato in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the pulp, using a teaspoon or grapefruit spoon. Measure out three cups of the potato pulp, making sure to pack it very tightly into the measuring cup. Put the three cups of the potato pulp in a blender. Add the nondairy milk, onion, garlic, and sea salt. Process until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl. Fold the chopped baby spinach in to the potato mixture.
Spread 1 cup of the marinara sauce into the bottom of a 9 x 12 casserole dish.
Spoon about one and a half tablespoons of the potato filling into each of the shells. Place each shell into the prepared casserole dish. Repeat until all shells are stuffed. Top each shell with one heaping teaspoon of the marinara sauce. Cover and bake 50 minutes to 1 hour, until the sauce is bubbling. Uncover during the last 5 to 7 minutes of baking for shells to brown slightly. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. I like to serve three shells per person arranged on top of my Quick Baby Spinach Salad recipe. Serve extra sauce in a gravy boat or small bowl to pass at the table.
* Potatoes may be baked a day in advance of preparing the shells. After baking, wrap the potatoes tightly in foil and refrigerate until needed.
* No need to throw the potato skins away! The leftover skins may be stored in a tightly covered container for up to two days, before using them in recipes. To make Potato Skin Oven Fries, simply slice the left over potato skins into strips. Put them in a large bowl and toss them with some garlic powder, all-purpose seasoning, chili powder, and paprika. (You may add a drizzle of olive oil if you like.) Spread the potato strips in an even layer on a parchment lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake in a 400 degrees F oven for 20 to 35 minutes or until they are crisp and golden. Delish!
Dad's Marinara
Makes 4 to 6 servings
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes (I use crushed tomatoes, but Dad uses canned tomato sauce)
1 cup filtered or spring water, plus more as needed
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional - Dad uses olive oil, but I sometimes do not)
3 cloves garlic, minced, or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper (1/8 teaspoon for a less spicy sauce)
2 tablespoons good red wine (optional)
Sea salt or Himalayan pink salt (to taste)
Put the tomatoes, water, olive oil (optional), garlic, basil, oregano, parsley, and red pepper in a large sauce pan. If mixture seems too thick, add 1/4 cup water. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Decrease the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes. Add the optional red wine and simmer for 15 to 30 minutes more, or up to 2 hours (the longer you cook it, the more developed the flavors will be). Add salt to taste, if desired. Serve over whole-grain pasta of your choice.
Quick Baby Spinach Salad
Makes 2 to 3 servings
3 cups lightly packed baby spinach
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon maple syrup
Freshly ground sea salt or Himalayan pink salt
Freshly ground pepper
Put the spinach in a medium bowl. To make the dressing, put the vinegar and maple syrup in a small bowl and briskly whisk until smooth. Pour the dressing over the spinach and toss gently to coat the leaves. Top with sea salt and pepper to taste.
Black Forest Pecan Pie
Makes 8 servings
10 large pitted Medjool dates
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup raw unsweetened shredded dried coconut
1/4 cup pecan halves
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup unsulphured blackstrap molasses
1 cup vegan chocolate chips
5 pitted Medjool dates
2 tablespoons vegan margarine
2 tablespoons filtered or spring water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups pecan halves
15 pecan halves
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
To make the crust, put the dates, oats, coconut, and pecans in a high-performance blender or food processor, and process to the consistency of soft dough. Transfer the dough onto a board and form it into a ball. Flatten the dough slightly with your hands, and then use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a 10-inch round. Invert the dough on to an ungreased 9-inch pie plate. Press the date mixture evenly over the bottom of the plate, pushing it up the sides of the pie plate as you go, to make a crust.
To craft a pretty edge to the crust, use your index finger to push the inner edge of the crust out, while pinching the outer edge in with the thumb and index finger of your other hand to make a classic scallop edge around the piecrust.
To make the filling, put the maple syrup, molasses, chocolate chips, pitted dates, margarine, water, and vanilla extract in a blender and process until very smooth. Pour the maple mixture in a medium bowl. Fold in 1 1/2 cups pecan halves.
Pour the filling into the crust and smooth the top using a rubber spatula. Gently press 15 pecans halved into the top of the pie, arranging them in a pleasing manner. Put the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges start to set and brown. Tent the pie with foil and bake for 5 to 8 minutes more, or until the pie has almost set in the middle. The filling will still be somewhat soft.
Carefully put the pie on a wire rack (the filling will be very hot!) and let cool for 1 hour. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours. Cover and store leftover pie in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Vanilla Crème "Fresh"
Makes 4 servings
8 ounces extra firm tofu (I like the sprouted variety best for this)
1 tablespoon nondairy milk, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons maple syrup, plus more as needed
Put all ingredients into a blender and process until smooth. Taste and add more maple syrup if sweeter flavor is desired. Chill 2 to 4 hours and serve. This is delicious served over cakes, pies fresh fruit and tarts.
Green Beans Almondine
5 to 6 cup green beans, washed and ends removed
1 to 2 cups sweet red pepper, sliced thin
3/4 cup sliced or slivered almonds
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon italian style seasoning or all-purpose seasoning
1 to 2 teaspoon vegan margarine spread
1 clove garlic, minced
Steam the beans for 5 minutes. Add the red pepper slices and steam until crisp tender.
Meanwhile put the almonds and olive oil into a medium sauté pan. Top with italian herbs and saute over medium-low heat until slightly golden. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add vegan margarine and heat through. Move off heat.
Put the steamed beans and peppers in to a medium bowl. Pour the almond mixture over the top of the beans and toss to combine. Serve warm.

Yellowstone in Winter
In February 2013 we returned for our second winter trip to Yellowstone National Park. The first time we entered the park from the south and stayed at the Snow Lodge in the Old Faithful complex. This time we entered from Bozeman, MT in the north and stayed at Mammoth Hot Springs. We took snow coach tours to Norris Geyser Basin and Canyon and Yellowstone Falls areas. We also took a snow coach to the Old Faithful area and spend one night in the Snow Lodge so that we could walk the trails and boardwalks through the geyser basin.Read More

The Fairfax County Environmental Quality Advisory Council (EQAC) is an advisory group that has been appointed by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors to advise the Board on environmental matters. The Council is comprised of one citizen representative from each Magisterial District, four at-large members, and one student representative. Each member is appointed by the Board of Supervisors to serve a three-year term, except the student member, who serves during his or her junior or senior year of high school.
EQAC provides advice to the Board of Supervisors through its Annual Report on the Environment and through resolutions and positions resulting from discussions at EQAC's monthly meetings. EQAC recommendations typically focus on improvement of the County's efforts in environmental protection and enhancement; they also can address legislative issues as well as state, regional, and federal matters. Environmental issues considered by EQAC include water quality, air quality, noise, hazardous materials, solid waste, stream valley protection, deer management, light pollution, visual pollution, and the use and preservation of ecological resources.
Each year EQAC holds a public hearing to obtain input on issues of environmental concern. The public is encouraged to attend and share views on the state of the environment and to identify any environmental issues applicable to Fairfax County. The public also is invited to attend any EQAC meeting and to submit correspondence for EQAC's consideration at any time.

Christmas is a wonderful time to visit Florida, be it in Amelia Island or Key West, Tallahassee or Naples. Florida Bed and Breakfasts across the state welcome old friends and new during this special time.
There is snow in Orlando (only in designated areas of course) and a holiday light show at the Miami Seaquarium. There are walking and garden tours in historic Naples, and a St. Nick Open Golf Tournament in St. Petersburg. Historic St. Augustine is lit by more than two million tiny white lights each night – the perfect place to stroll with the person you love.
Christmas means beach parties in Key West and dancing in Miami. It means karaoke and theatre performances in Sarasota. Christmas means tours of festively decorated holiday homes in Ormond Beach and Deland, and ice skating with Santa in Daytona.
If you're looking for something different this holiday season, head to Florida for Christmas. Instead of plowing the driveway on Christmas day, take a long walk on the beach. Instead of skiing, swim. Give yourself a gift this year: vacation in a Bed and Breakfast Florida.

SACRAMENTO, California (Reuters) - California Governor Jerry Brown signed a law on Thursday to give journalists in the state five days' notice before government agencies serve subpoenas on their records held by third parties, such as phone companies and internet service providers.
The law, which was approved by unanimous votes in the California Assembly and Senate, expands on the state's existing shield law for journalists and will apply to subpoenas sought in state courts.
The California law comes after two cases earlier this year that sparked debate about whether the U.S. Justice Department had infringed on the free-speech rights of journalists in aggressive probes of government leaks.
In one case, the Justice Department seized phone records from the Associated Press without notifying the news organization during an investigation into leaks about a 2012 plot in Yemen to bomb a U.S. airliner.
Prosecutors also obtained a warrant to search Fox News correspondent James Rosen's emails and he was named a "co-conspirator" in a federal leaks probe stemming from his reporting on North Korea.
After the disclosure of those investigations, the U.S. Justice Department in July outlined a series of measures to curb the ability of federal prosecutors to seize reporters' records while investigating leaks to the media.
As part of that directive, the Justice Department has pledged in most cases to notify news organizations if a subpoena is being sought to obtain information such as phone records. It has said it will classify journalists' records held by third parties as being subject to the same policies.
An exception to the Justice Department's new notification procedure will apply if notice would "present a clear and substantial threat to the integrity of the investigation," stated an agency document outlining the policy change.
The California law, which was sponsored by the California Newspaper Publishers Association, mirrors the new regulations put in place at the federal level, said the association's general counsel, Jim Ewert.
"If a reporter stores information in the cloud or on Google or on a server off-site, now the reporter is going to get notice and the publisher or the station manager is going to get notice of that subpoena," Ewert said.
The new law, which takes effect on January 1, will require any government agency or individual to provide five days' notice to reporters and their news organizations before seeking a subpoena of journalistic information from a third party, such as an internet service provider or cell phone company.
Under California's existing shield law, reporters and their employers were already guaranteed five days' notice if a subpoena was sought for information in their possession.
But the law did not foresee the rise of mobile communications and cloud computing, in which information is stored off-site using servers connected to the Internet, the bill's author, Democratic state Senator Ted Lieu, said in a statement.

(Chelodina expansa)
Broad-shelled river turtles are one of Australia's largest freshwater turtle species, reaching a carapace length of 50cm. Looking at an adult specimen it's hard to imagine them small enough to hatch from an egg.
These long necked turtles are hatched from hard-shelled eggs (typically reptiles lay soft leathery eggs) deposited by the mother in the sandy banks of our fresh water turtle pond where they may have spent up to an entire year incubating!
Broad-shells are quite common throughout river systems and dams in Queensland and New South Wales and will feed on anything they can catch. Their long, snake-like neck aids in ambushing prey.
Fish, insects, frogs and some small reptiles are their preferred food sources.

NY OKs mandatory boat inspections for upstate lake
July 24, 2013 at 07:49 AM
The Associated Press
LAKE GEORGE, N.Y. (AP) — A state agency has approved a mandatory boat-washing and inspection program to protect one of New York's most popular lakes from invasive species.
Local media outlets report that the Lake George Park Commission unanimously voted Tuesday to create a program similar one implemented in several states in the West to combat invasive species. Conservation groups and New York environmental protection agencies have been battling a number of invasive creatures in Lake George, including Eurasian milfoil, zebra mussels and Asian clams.
Under the plan envisioned for Lake George, a 32-mile-long waterway in the eastern Adirondacks, all trailered boats would have to be inspected before they could be launched on the lake, and their hulls washed if needed.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo must sign off on the program before it can take effect next year.

Q: When do I start feeding my fish again? -Louis of Buffalo, NY
A: Thank you for your inquiry Louis. We recommend using the Spring and Fall Fish Food until the water temperature stays above 55 degrees. The Spring and Fall fish food is a wheat germ formula that s easier for the fish to digest when they are less active in cooler water temperatures. Once the temperature is over 55 degrees start using another blend of fish food such as our growth and color, organic, professional or ponstix.

If you own a gun, prevent accidental injuries by following these safety practicesPosted: September 25, 2017
Half of all unintentional shootings are committed by children and teenagers. The most effective way to keep kids safe from gun injuries is to have no guns in a home where children live or play.
If you do have a gun in your home, follow these important tips to prevent accidental injuries. Keep kids from accessing firearms by storing ammunition and firearms separately, keeping guns unloaded and locked away, and ensuring that both are safely out of reach.
Safe Kids Mid-South, led by Le Bonheur Children's, offers these important gun safety tips:
Store Guns and Ammunition Safely
- Store guns in a locked location, unloaded, out of the reach and sight of children.
- Store ammunition in a separate locked location, out of the reach and sight of children.
- Keep the keys and combinations hidden.
- When a gun is not in its lock box, keep it in your line of sight.
- Make sure all guns are equipped with effective, child-resistant gun locks.
- If a visitor has a gun in a backpack, briefcase, handbag or an unlocked car, provide them with a locked place to hold it while they are in your home.
- Leaving guns on a nightstand, table, under a sofa cushion or other place where a child can gain access may lead to injuries and fatalities.
Talk to Your Kids and Their Caregivers
- Explain how a gun your kids might see on television or a video game is different from a gun in real life. "A gun, in real life, can really hurt people".
- Teach kids never to touch a gun and to immediately tell an adult if they see one. Role play these steps with them because children are so curious that most will say never to touch a gun, but they pick it up anyway!
- Talk to grandparents and the parents of friends your children visit about safe gun storage practices.
Dispose of Guns You Don't Need
- If you decide that you no longer need to have a gun in your home, dispose of it in a safe way. Consult with law enforcement in your community on how to do so.
