TRUST Oregon features Kelsey Cascadia Rose Juliana, a 16-year-old from Eugene, who is passionate about preserving this beautiful Earth. Kelsey’s identity is directly tied to the various elements of Oregon’s biodiversity. She was born in a 1-room cabin in Fall Creek amidst the old-growth trees of the Cascades. She was named after Kelsey Creek – a crystal-clear river that flows out of an ancient forest grove, and Rose signifies the wild rose that grew abundantly near the cabin where she was born.
Kelsey knows that she is not old enough to vote, but she has also learned that she can raise her voice by speaking out. Although it shouldn’t be the responsibility of her generation to take on the burden of learning how to adapt in the face of global climate change, Kelsey knows that Mother Earth does not have the time to wait for politicians to debate about whether climate change will affect our future.
Ashley Funk is an 18-year old from western Pennsylvania. Ashley is many things. She is an identical twin, the founder of Pollution Patrol, a volunteer at the local care home, and she loves to sing with her friends around campfires. Ashley is asking our leaders to recognize that environmental destruction is the destruction of human health and in turn, realize that we have the potential for change. Ashley has done extensive research in preparation for a career as an environmental engineer and policy maker and she knows that we are not stuck in a society where we must rely on destructive fossil fuels to power our energy needs. We have the technology to move beyond this. Ashley is asking the government to come up with a climate recovery plan that does not destroy our single most essential resource…the atmosphere.
In this episode of the TRUST series, meet Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, an 11-year-old boy from Boulder, Colorado. Xiuhtezcatl shares why he joined youth from across the country asking the courts to hear their lawsuit (Alec L., et al., v. Lisa P. Jackson, et al.), which is based on one of the most fundamental principles of civilized society: TRUST. Xiuhtezcatl asks that our atmosphere be protected, because he loves playing in Colorado’s mountains, forests, lakes, and streams and fears that the resources he most enjoys will not be there for his generation if we continue emitting carbon dioxide at current rates. Xiuhtezcatl shares, “The proof of climate change is everywhere I look. In my lifetime, the amount of forest killed by pine beetles has expanded. The number of acres burned has intensified. My generation is losing our forests. We are losing our homes. It’s not too late to ensure my generation has a livable future. But we need to listen to the science and act now.” Over a century ago, the U.S. Supreme Court recognized that our federal government has an absolute legal duty to protect our essential common natural resources – such as our air and our water – for present and future generations. Our youth are simply asking our third branch of government to compel the legislative and executive branches to do their jobs. For more information about the lawsuits and other TRUST youth, please visit: www.ourchildrenstrust.org and www.witness.org
In this episode of the TRUST Series, meet Jaime Lynn Butler, an 11-year-old Navajo artist, who recognizes the extreme difficulty this administration faces dealing with the current political climate crisis. On January 24, 2012, during the State of the Union address, President Obama recognized that, “The differences in this chamber may be too deep right now to pass a comprehensive plan to fight climate change.” However, Jaime also recognizes the guaranteed consequences of climate change if America fails to do more than what is politically feasible. According to leading climate scientists, the Earth is in “imminent peril.” Should we fail to make a massive assault on CO2 pollution, the entire life-support system of our civilization and our species will begin to unravel. Because Jaime knows that human-induced climate change is a matter of carbon math, not carbon politics, Jaime is not only writing to President Obama and asking for assistance, she is also sharing her story with others so that we can visualize the urgent and unstoppable nature of human-induced climate change.
Last year, Arctic explorer Dennis Schmitt discovered that the world as-we-know-it is changing fast. In a remote coastal region of Greenland, “Warming Island” was created when the ice connecting it to the mainland melted away. The Greenland ice sheet – nearly three miles thick in places – is now melting at speeds once thought impossible. If the ice melts completely, sea level will rise twenty-three feet around the world. Karl Marx once famously said about modern life: “all that is solid melts into air.” Though Marx was no environmentalist, he was very aware of the swift changes brought on by rapid exploitation of natural resources. These changes have begun to stretch the natural contours of our planet. But all is not lost, yet. “Warming Island” could also have been called “WARNING Island” because it is a harbinger of things to come. Now that the map has been erased, how will we choose to re-write it? Hopefully, with a trained eye and a skillful touch, we can create a collective picture of a long-term sustainable future. The world-as-we-know-it may be disappearing, but as any explorer will tell you, a new world may also be on the horizon.
Based at archaeological sites across Belize, ‘CEIBA’ tells the story of wildlife in the Maya creation myth, at the center of which is the Ceiba tree – the bridge between the heavens, earth and the underworld.
‘Feeding the Problem’ explores the historical and ecological impacts of the century-old artificial feeding program for elk in Western Wyoming. What began in 1912 as a gracious effort to save the Jackson Hole elk herd from harsh winters, shrinking habitat, and dwindling forage, has morphed into the largest wildlife feeding program in the United States. This biological experiment has created a petri dish for wildlife disease and is now one of the most contentious, fiercely debated issues in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
‘Energy’s Future’ tells the story of Joules, a high school junior faced with the pressing decision about what to do after graduation. Joule’s daily routine of work, classes, and friends leaves her little time to figure out what she ultimately wants for her life after high school. The lives of three college students working in different science fields intercut Joule’s story. These college students aren’t just reading textbooks. They are doing cutting edge research aimed at solving one of the biggest problems facing our world, the need to find renewable energy. Through interweaving stories, Energy’s Future paints a picture of the transition of science and people, from students being taught in the high school classroom to students solving real world problems in the college lab.
Proposed mountaintop removal mining in southeastern British Columbia, Canada is threatening one of America’s most endangered rivers and North America’s wildest remaining valley — The Flathead. Flathead Wild follows the International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP) as they descend on the Flathead River Valley, along with local conservation groups, to take breathtaking and iconic images of the threatened ecosystem. These images then act as tools for the Flathead coalition to help tip the scales in favor of protection and conservation.

Boundary Crossing Research
Case Study: Oahu, Hawaii
The island of Oahu is threatened by a variety of imminent water problems, including rapidly increasing water demand, rising sea levels, and increasingly unpredictable and severe rainfall events. The island has lost huge tracts of freshwater and estuarine wetlands, upon which a variety of endangered birds, invertebrates, and plants depend. The Pearl Harbor Aquifer is the primary source of fresh water for the island, and supports more than 30 percent of the state's population. This important resource is threatened by sea level rise and unsustainable use. The collapse of the sugar industry has freed up agricultural land and water transport infrastructure previously used for irrigation. A diverse suite of stakeholders have spent the last decade disputing the future use of these water resources.

The Treasury Department will soon be reclaiming federal rental assistance from groups that have insufficiently spent their allocations in order to redistribute it back to communities in greater need.
Though the rental-assistance program was put in place by the Treasury Department, which oversees it, the program relies on about 450 other players in order to distribute aid – including state, county, and municipal governments as well as charitable organizations. With this authority, however, has come many implementation problems. Groups are struggling to properly launch their localized programs, finding the right staff, and deciding upon the right rules to best distribute the money; on top of these issues, the sheer amount of applications has created an administrative nightmare. According to Congress, only $46.6 billion has been allocated since December; and according to the Treasury Department, only $7.7 billion has been distributed.
In February, amidst increasing indication that groups were struggling to keep up with applications, the Department issued guidance that encouraged recipients to cut down on applicant documentation; they suggested allowing applicants to report their own need and allowing organizations and local governments to use proxies to replace proof of earnings. Unfortunately, as became all-too-clear, these changes were not made on a widespread basis. Some are still facing administrative challenges while others have even declared that they have been awarded too much aid.
Per the department’s new guidance published today, however, any grant recipients who have not distributed at least 65% of their funds received under the pandemic Emergency Assistance program by September 30th will need to submit an improvement plan to the Treasury Department; this plan will need to lay out the steps that they will commit to taking in order to distribute more funds quickly. For those recipients who haven’t spent or distributed at least 30%, the funds may be redistributed to other communities instead.
This new plan will finally formalize the Treasury’s steps that it has encouraged since February. These steps will undoubtedly boost participation and will aid groups in better distributing funds as long as there is a high demand for relief. If the plan is approved, recipients will need to report their progress within the following 60 days. According to the Department, if they do not submit a plan, 10% of their funds could be deemed “excess” and thus redistributed to other groups. The Department has stated that it will be continually reevaluating what share of funds recipients will need to distribute on a month-to-month basis; it can also raise the required amount every month. The redistribution will take place on a rolling basis, taking into account requests from other organizations and governments for additional funds.

Predicting lung cancer
A new screening prediction model proves much more effective at identifying at-risk patients
Judy Wiebe found out she had lung cancer after signing up for a University of Calgary clinical trial researching the effectiveness of screening for lung cancer. She thought she was in great shape for a woman in her 70s and had no signs that anything was wrong with her health.
“I stopped smoking a number of years ago. I didn’t have any symptoms that I would have associated with lung cancer; I wasn’t coughing or feeling tired. I felt good,” says Wiebe. “If it hadn’t been for the study, I never would have known that tumours were forming in my lungs.” Wiebe underwent surgery to have the tumours removed and is now cancer free.
Dr. Alain Tremblay, professor of medicine in the departments of Medicine and Oncology at the Cumming School of Medicine (CSM) and member of the Arnie Charbonneau Cancer Institute, recently led the Calgary arm of a Pan-Canadian study researching the effectiveness of a new lung cancer screening risk predication model. The model takes a number of factors into account including age, smoking duration, pack-years smoked, body mass index, and level of education.
Lung cancers were detected in 6.5 per cent of the participants, a much higher number than in other studies, demonstrating the usefulness of the risk prediction model. Of those, 75 per cent were Stage 1 or Stage 2, which is considered to be the early stage of the disease and is often curable whereas without screening, only 20 per cent of cases are this early.
“As a Canadian study, these results are very important; each province is trying to decide whether lung cancer screening is something that should be funded by the health care system,” says Tremblay. “Through this research, we’ve been able to prove the risk selection model works. We can identify a very high risk group of people who may have lung cancer and save money by not screening people unnecessarily.”
Those identified as being at high risk would undergo a low dose CT scan every one to two years. “We estimate that over 100,000 people in Alberta qualify for the screening program”, adds Tremblay. “Screening can enable an earlier diagnosis when tumours are more likely to be at a more curable stage, just like we saw in Weibe’s case.”
Preventive screening programs are in place for breast, colon and prostate cancer even though lung cancer is the number one cancer killer in both men and women in Canada. In Alberta alone, more than 2,000 people will be diagnosed with this disease this year, the majority at an incurable stage.
This is the first big study to use a risk calculator to determine individual participants' risk of lung cancer. The questionnaire-based survey developed by a Brock University scientist predicts your risk of developing lung cancer in the next six years. Results are published in The Lancet Oncology.

Commissioned in 1995, the submarine is assigned to Submarine Squadron 7 and homeported in Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.Columbia is the eighth U.S. warship to bear the name, though the first to be named for three cities: Columbia, Illinois, Columbia, Missouri and Columbia, South Carolina.
The contract to build Columbia was awarded to the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corporation in Groton, Connecticut, on 14 December 1988 and her keel was laid down on 21 April 1993. She was the 33rd Los Angeles-class boat built by Electric Boat, and was launched on 24 September 1994 with the slide down a 1,300-foot wooden ramp, the last American submarine to do so, giving her the title of "The Last Slider".

Low Back Pain -- therapy; Case Reports
Background and Purpose: When it comes to low back pain, McKenzie theory is considered highly effective for evaluating and treating patients with low back symptoms. There are three main classifications within McKenzie theory; postural, dysfunction, and derangement syndromes. The main focus of this case will be on the dysfunction classification and its subcategory adherent nerve roots (ANR). Dysfunction syndrome is characterized by pain due to deformation of structures and tissues that limit ROM causing pain at end range. ANR's are caused by scar tissue build up encompassing nerve roots due to trauma or surgery that produces symptoms when nerve tension is present.
Case Description: The patient is a 32 year old male who presents with low back pain which later was diagnosed as a lumbar extension dysfunction and RlE ANR.
Interventions: Treatment focused on correction of dysfunction and ANR through prone press ups and nerve flossing. Treatment goals were to decrease pain, increase spinal ROM, and improve functional abilities.
Outcomes: Treatment lasted 9 weeks from initial evaluation with a total of 10 visits. Upon discharge the patient displayed full and pain-free spinal ROM in all directions with SlR, and slump test being negative with improved functional mobility at home and work.
Discussion: The patient reported high satisfaction with treatment outcomes. Additional studies would be beneficial due to limited research in the area of ANR's and dysfunctions.

Objectives: This systematic literature review addresses the use of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) for the evaluation of benign maxillomandibular odontogenic lesions. Study Design: Databases were searched, and original research studies or case report manuscripts up to April 2019 were included, using the keyword “diffusion,” combined with the keywords “maxillofacial pathology,” “oral pathology,” “odontogenic tumors,” “dental tissue neoplasms,” “odontogenic cysts,” and the histologic denomination of benign odontogenic lesions, according to the World Health Organization classification. Only English language articles and studies pertaining to DWI were selected. Results: Fifteen investigations (11 original articles and 4 case reports) of distinct benign odontogenic lesions were included. Most studies did not include exclusively odontogenic lesions in their samples. Conclusions: It is too early to reach a conclusion that DWI and ADC can provide useful information in the differentiation of the histologic type of some benign odontogenic lesions on the basis of available data in the literature.

|Action||Practice of dry needling|
|Comment Period||Ends 7/26/2019|
I strongly support the independent use of Dry Needling by Physical Therapists (PT). I am an RN and have been in nursing since 1977. I personally experienced dry needling by my PT and had remarkable results in reduction of muscle spasms, markedly reduced need for narcotics, muscle relaxants, and NSAIDS, with improved mobility. This was all directly related to dry needling.
I currently work in a surgical department with an attached Post Anesthesia Care Unit as well as In-Patient post -op care. Nurses are being trained in the similar Battlefield Acupuncture of the auricle and many have found this to be of significant benefit for patient pain control, earlier mobility, less narcotic requirements (with associated complications), and earlier discharge. This can be done without a physicians order in many locations.
PTs are a very educated branch of the medical profession and spend considerable "hands on" time with their patients. In most cases, much more than a physician. They are in the best position to determine the needs of the patient for the best prognosis. They should definitely be able to provide this level of care without a medical referral.
Appropriate certified training and initial should be a must for this procedure, but PTs should be allowed to work in the best interests of those in their care without additional layers of bureaucracy.

Shortly afterward, the Thai government said it had arrested a Lebanese man and described him as a member of the militant group Hezbollah. Thailand’s deputy prime minister told news agencies that the arrest came after days of coordination with Israel that began with a tipoff in late December.
“Following concern raised by the Israeli Embassy about a possible attack by a group of Lebanese terrorists in Bangkok, Thai police officials had been coordinating with Israeli officials since before the New Year,” the deputy prime minister, Chalerm Yubamrung, told Reuters.
It was not immediately clear whether the warning by the United States and the arrest were connected.
The embassy alert, addressed to American citizens, said that “foreign terrorists may be currently looking to conduct attacks against tourist areas in Bangkok in the near future” and urged “caution when visiting public areas where large groups of Western tourists gather in Bangkok.”
Tourism is one of Thailand’s major industries, and millions of foreign visitors visit the capital each year, according to Thai government statistics.
Mr. Chalerm stated that the authorities had been tracking two men but that they had only arrested one, who was being held in connection with possible immigration violations. “Technically the two men have not committed any crimes under the Thai law, so we could only use the immigration law to keep this one suspect in custody.

The Obama administration is calling together both the gun lobby and gun safety groups to find common ground, but President Obama has no plans to take the lead in proposing further gun control legislation, and the National Rifle Association is snubbing the invitation, reports the New York Times. Justice Department officials today meet with gun control advocates in the first of a series of meetings over the next two weeks with people on different sides of the issue, including law enforcement, retailers, and manufacturers, to seek agreement on possible legislative or administrative actions.
“Why should I or the NRA go sit down with a group of people that have spent a lifetime trying to destroy the Second Amendment in the United States?” said NRA chief executive Wayne LaPierre. He cited Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Attorney General Eric Holder. “It shouldn't be a dialogue about guns; it really should be a dialogue about dangerous people,” LaPierre said, saying that the NRA supports proposals to prevent gun sales to the mentally ill, strengthen a national system of background checks, and encourage states to provide needed data.

Metabolic footprinting: a new approach to identify physiological changes in complex microbial communities upon exposure to toxic chemicals.
Environmental science & technology. 2007;41(11):3945-51.

Metabolic footprinting coupled with statistical analysis was applied to multiple, chemically stressed activated sludge cultures to identify probable biomarkers that indicate community stress. The impact of cadmium (Cd), 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), and N-ethyl-maleimide (NEM) shock loads on the composition of the soluble fraction of activated sludge cultures was analyzed by gross biomolecular analyses and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Fresh mixed liquor from four distinct treatment plants was each divided in four different batches and was subjected to no chemical addition (control) and spike additions of the stressors Cd, DNP, or NEM. The results indicate that chemical stress caused a significant release of proteins, carbohydrates, and humic acids from the floc structure into the bulk liquid. Using discriminant function analysis (DFA) with genetic algorithm variable selection (GA-DFA), the samples subjected to the different stress conditions plus control could be differentiated, thereby indicating that the footprints of the soluble phase generated by LC-MS were different for the four conditions tested and, therefore, were toxin-specific but community-independent. These footprints, thus, contain information about specific biomolecular differences between the stressed samples, and we found that only a limited number of m/z (mass to charge) ratios from the mass spectra were needed to differentiate between the control and each stressed sample. Since the experiments were conducted with mixed liquor from four distinct wastewater treatment plants, the discriminant m/z ratios may potentially be used as universal stress biomarkers in activated sludge systems.

Democratic Nevada congresswoman and U.S. Senate candidate Shelley Berkley voted against a job-creating land privatization bill that she herself co-sponsored, the latest in a string of examples of Berkley’s placing national Democratic Party interests ahead of her state’s.
The Yerington Land Conveyance and Sustainable Development Act would "mandate the fair market sale of approximately 10,400 acres of public lands to the City of Yerington and Lyon County for economic, recreational and cultural development," according to the Nevada News Bureau. It is projected to lead to 500 construction jobs by 2013 and nearly 800 total jobs at the project site by 2015-2016, according to a statement by Berkley’s Republican Senate opponent, incumbent Sen. Dean Heller.
The unemployment rate in Lyon County, Nevada—where Yerington is located—stands at 15.1 percent.
Under pressure from Democratic special interest group The League of Conservation Voters, however, Berkley pulled her support for the bill.
League of Conservation Voters president Gene Karpinski sent a letter to Berkley on June 18 urging her to vote against the legislation.
"LCV urges you to vote NO on H.R. 2578, the so-called Conservation and Economic Growth Act, an over-reaching assault on America’s lands and wildlife that blocks or rolls back conservation laws on federal lands, guts environmental review, and privatizes public lands," Karpinski wrote.
Berkley released a statement after the vote June 19 stating, "I am a strong supporter and original co-sponsor of the Yerington Land Conveyance and Sustainable Development Act, authored by my Nevada colleague, Representative Mark Amodei. It is extremely unfortunate the House did not have the opportunity to vote on this important job-creating measure except as part of a larger legislative package that has no chance of passing in the Senate and faces strong opposition in Nevada."
The bill was "beloved by Nevada lawmakers," according to the Las Vegas Sun.
The bill was incorporated into the Conservation and Economic Growth Act, which "rolled 14 bills into one" legislative package; the bill passed in the Republican-controlled House June 19 by a 232-188 vote. Sixteen House Democrats voted in favor of the Act.
Berkley joined the majority of her party in voting against the measure in the House.
Berkley’s statement does not definitively announce that she voted against the measure, and leaves out an important piece of context involving an environmental group with close ties to Democratic House leadership, Nevada political insiders pointed out to the Free Beacon.
Karpinski introduced Democratic House Minority Leader and then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi at a 2007 League of Conservation Voters’ dinner on global warming in Washington, D.C.
"I come here tonight grateful for the powerful advocacy of the League of Conservation Voters in the fight to preserve our planet for future generations. I think it is appropriate to cite a Native American saying that, ‘The real owners of the land are not yet born,’" Pelosi said in her remarks at that event.
The League of Conservation Voters spent $160,000 lobbying on environmental legislation in 2011.
"Shelley Berkley needs to explain why she sided with environmental groups over northern Nevada," Heller for Senate spokeswoman Chandler Smith said in a statement. "Instead of supporting legislation that would have created jobs in Yerington, she chose to side with the League of Conservation Voters. This is typical Shelley Berkley, saying one thing and then doing another."
Las Vegas businessman Steve Wynn—a onetime Berkley supporter—told Fox News host Neil Cavuto in 2011 that Berkley voted for Obamacare because House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi would "punish" her if she voted against it.
According to Wynn, Berkley told him in a phone call, "Steve, I know it’s terrible. My husband is a doctor. He hates it, too. But if I don’t vote for it, she will punish me."
Wynn continued, "‘She’ being Nancy Pelosi. I said, ‘Shelley, every politician that’s ever sold out their constituency has had a lame, terrible rationalization like the one you just gave me. Don’t ever call me again.’"
"[Wynn’s] recollection of the conversation is different than the congresswoman's," said a Berkeley spokeswoman at the time.
Berkley voted for Obamacare and attended the law’s signing ceremony at the White House.
Berkley’s Nevada office did not return a call for comment.


The PTO has increased the prize purse for December’s PTO 2020 Championship to $1,150,000 promising a cut of the new total for every athlete.
The $150,000 prize money increase gives the world’s top triathletes even more reason to do battle at the inaugural PTO 2020 Championship, set to place at Challenge Daytona in Florida on 6 December. The purse will also be distributed right down to the final finishers, ensuring that none of the 60 athletes due to toe the line will go away empty-handed.
The field is made up of the 40 top-ranked PTO athletes plus 20 wildcards. The prize purse will range from $100,000 for the winner to $4,000 for 20th place, the remainder of the field each receiving $2,500 – helping them avoid being out of pocket regardless of their performance.
This increase of $150,000 is equal to the total prize purse on offer at Ironman regional championship events while the PTO 2020 Championship now boasts nearly twice the purse of the Ironman World Championships in Kona and almost five times that of the Ironman 70.3 worlds.
This serves the dual benefit of making the trip to Daytona financially viable for athletes and also assuring that fans get to see the strongest, deepest field possible do battle.
PTO executive chairman, Charles Adamo, alluded to such a prize purse breakdown during a recent interview on the IMTalk podcast but went into more detail on this official announcement:
“With the entire race season pretty much cancelled and with athletes having practically no earning opportunities and receiving little support from elsewhere, the PTO has decided that anyone who has qualified and races at the PTO 2020 Championship should receive some compensation.
It is a very simple formula-the PTO is the professionals’ organisation and it thrives when they thriveCharles Adamo
“We had previously committed to paying twenty deep, which was already twice the number of athletes earning prize money than at a typical championship race. With the professionals continuing to receive little support this year, we could not in good conscience ask athletes to travel to the race and then, like too often happens, walk away with nothing but a big travel bill. That is not the way the PTO treats valued partners.
“With many sports, including our own, cancelling events and looking to decrease prize purses or cut payments to athletes, we see this as the time to invest in our PTO Professionals. It is a very simple formula-the PTO is the professionals’ organisation and it thrives when they thrive.”
The news of the revised prize purse breakdown will come as a relief to athletes making the trip from around the world. Indeed, if the athletes and the PTO can manage to navigate the tricky travel restrictions, we should see perhaps the greatest pro field ever assembled. This is thanks to a breadth of athletes accomplished at different distances, the fact there are no conflicting events and, of course, that colossal amount of money on offer.
This guaranteed take-home is just another example of the PTO supporting its members through COVID-19, during which the almost complete cancellation of the race calendar has meant no prize money on offer and little chance to gain exposure for sponsors.
In March, the PTO paid out a $2,500,000 bonus pool, which was originally due to be distributed at the end of the season – upping the original $2,000,000 figure in the process. Meanwhile, the organisation has paid out hundreds of thousands in prize purses for more local events around the world.
These included the Outlaw X and Helvellyn Triathlon in the UK, which attracted top domestic pros including Tim Don and Alistair Brownlee, both of whom will go head-to-head with reigning Challenge Daytona champion and Canadian hour record holder, Lionel Sanders.

Chuck Norris Outdoes Jean Claude Van Damme’s Epic Split With Airplanes + More
On the Internet, Chuck Norris always wins.
Last month, Charley Barnes introduced you to the Jean Claude Van Damme and Volvo ad, that rocketed around the Web as millions of viewers (64 million, at least so far) saw the Dutch action star perform "the most epic of splits" while balancing himself between two huge trucks driving backwards.
Pretty spectacular, right? Well, that was nothing.
Not to be outdone, the man who 'can cut through a hot knife with butter', Chuck Norris takes things to the next level—literally. Instead of merely riding along the ground, Norris executes his split thousands of feet in the air, between a couple of airplanes (and there's even more, just watch). The narrator reads from 'Hamlet' as the same Enya song from the Van Damme ad plays softly in the background. Once again, we must tip our hat to you, Mr. Norris.
OK, maybe they DID use a little CGI magic. But c'mon! Chuck Norris rules!
Here's the original Van Damme ad for Volvo:

As 3D printing technology slowly seeps into the worlds of both fashion and robotics, we’ve had the opportunity to witness quite a few innovative and experimental 3D printed wearables that react to environmental and sensory stimuli. Designers such as Paola Tognazzi have developed wearable garments that transform with movement, while other endearing projects have explored wearables that react to our very own brain waves. Extending this exciting field even further now are two industrial designers from MIT, Christophe Guberan and Carlo Clopath, who have just created the Minimal Shoe, 3D printed footwear that changes shape in response to stimuli from the wearer. Working with computer scientist Skylar Tibbits within the MIT Self-Assembly Lab, the three design-savvy makers have worked tirelessly towards manufacturing this shape-shifting shoe.
The MIT team utilized FDM 3D printing with plastic material, which was extruded tastefully onto stretched textiles. These textiles then change the form of the Minimal Shoe when the stretched textile is released by activity of the wearer’s foot. The shoes don’t only function uniquely in terms of its reactive nature, but they also appear fashionably modern and geometrically complex, too, almost resembling a sizable bed sheet hanging out to dry on a slightly windy day. In order to minimize excess material and project costs, the team has taken a more realistic material approach, by combining the 3D printed plastic upper part of the shoe with more traditional materials, such as leather and rubber.
“We can shrink the size of the shoe, have it contract around your feet. 3D printing [entire] shoes is quite long and inefficient, so we minimized the amount of 3D printing used,” said Guberan. “It’s quite interesting to say that we don’t have to 3D print the entire shoe, but we can add to existing material.”
The team is still researching better quality methods for reactive 3D printed wearable footwear, and, in turn, are working towards making our physical and material reality a more fluid and active experience. Though the Minimal Shoe could potentially be fully manufactured via 3D printing, without the secondary materials, their hybrid process allows for more customization and accessibility within their product. What makes this project extremely innovative and note-worthy is the lack of robotics and sensors utilized in the MIT research team’s project, proving that these advanced technologies are not necessary components for interactive garments. In fact, these stretchable textiles and 3D printed plastic appear to hold enough power to take our physical and bodily experiences and transform the shape of what we are wearing accordingly.

Chattanooga City Council looks at land de-annexation proposal Tuesday night
The Chattanooga City Council only held one of the two scheduled public meetings Tuesday night.
Representatives for the Institute of Health and Healing say they manage property for the Wildwood Lifestyle Center, a faith-based medical center that offers natural remedies to their patients. It's located on the Tennessee-Georgia border. According to the center, they have 390 acres of land in the Chattanooga city limits and now they want out.
"We're not looking to de-annex just to de-annex," said Cynthia Tolbert, attorney for the non-profit group. "We are looking to de-annex to be able to build on 390 acres. Who wants to own 390 acres and not be able to utilize that acreage."
Executive director, Charles Hightower, says right now, the center can only feasibly build on 15 acres of that land. People who run the center say employees and students at their schools live in housing units on that property. According to Tolbert, in 2006, the center asked the City for permission to build more housing, but they were denied. Because of that, the center says they've had to turn away new workers. The problems don't stop there.
"They pay over $12,000 a year for trash services," said Tolbert. "They're not supposed to pay for trash service. They're supposed to be provided that through the city."
Councilwoman Carol Berz says that's true. She was the most vocal council person at the meeting.
"If we didn't pick up at the homes that were there, we should have been and we'll get that answered," she said. Berz says the center should not assume de-annexing from the city will solve all of their problems.
After the hearing, Tolbert says de-annexation doesn't have to happen if their needs can be met some other way. The council recommended the center work with the executive director of the Regional Planning Agency before next Tuesday. That way, the center can see what their options are before figuring out if they want to de-annex from the city.
A second hearing was scheduled for the annexation of the Lookout Mountain Conservancy, but council chair Jerry Mitchell said they would not present because they must meet with the planning committee first.
Two public hearings will take place Tuesday night at the Chattanooga City Council meeting.
The Lookout Mountain Conservancy will speak about the petition to annex its property into the city of Chattanooga.
According to the Conservancy's CEO Robyn Carlton, the properties on Old Wauhatchie Pike, Grandview Place, Church Street and Cravens Roadwill be turned into a hiking trails and a park that will connect to the Riverwalk. Carlton says no homes would be annexed if the petition gets approval.
On its website, the organization says its mission is "to protect Lookout Mountain’s scenic, historic and ecological resources through conservation, advocacy, recreation and education, for current and future generations."
Another organization, the Institute of Health and Healing/Wildwood Lifestyle Center wants its property to be deannexed from Chattanooga.
It was added to the city in 1989. According to the group's President Charles Hightower, it has not received city services listed in the annexation plan since 1995.
"Basically the annexation was not benefiting the Institute of Health and Healing," said Charles Hightower. "We're paying taxes to the city of Chattanooga, but we're not receiving city services."
In his petition, Hightower wrote that the Institute pays more than $5,600 a year in city taxes. Hightower says the property his group owns received the Chattanooga Fire Department's services on two occasions, and both times, there were problems and confusion about jurisdiction.
"We're on the end of the county, we're way out there here, it's very difficult to find and we are somewhat landlocked," said Hightower. "You have to go through Georgia to get to this property here."
Only employees and their families live on the property, and Hightower says they need to deannex so they can hire more staff and build more housing.
According to an ordinance on the Chattanooga City Council's website, the Department of Public Works, The Mayor's Office and the City Attorney do not recommend deannexation of the Institute's property.
City Councilman for the 7th district Erskine Oglesby says its too soon for him to make a decision about whether or not he supports the land leaving the city. But he thinks added the land owned by the Lookout Mountain Conservancy is a good idea.
"It would increase the tax base of the city because they do plan on putting some development up there," said Erskine Oglesby.
There's a vote schedule for next week on the deannextion. The annexation in Lookout Mountain would have to go through November's planning commission. A vote is expected on that matter by the end of the year.
This is a developing story. Depend on us to keep you updated.


Report: 'Progress' made toward changing Goodell's role in appeals
The league and the union are reportedly making slow progress on a deal that would revise Goodell's role, but those revisions are unknown.
Over the last year-plus, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's role in player discipline has come under fire. Why? The league and the NFLPA collectively bargained a system in which Goodell is essentially judge, jury and executioner. Goodell not only plays a significant role hearing evidence on violations of the league's personal conduct policy, but also in deciding punishments and hearing appeals (or deciding which "independent" arbitrator will hear the appeal) on those punishments.
This happened in the domestic violence investigations of Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson (alleged child abuse) and Greg Hardy, as well as the Deflategate case against the New England Patriots and Tom Brady, to name just a few instances. The NFLPA appealed several of those cases to authorities beyond Goodell, even taking the Peterson and Brady cases to federal court, where the players argued that Goodell overstepped his bounds in handing out punishments.
Now, the NFLPA and the league are reportedly closing in on an agreement that would alter Goodell's role in the appeals process, according to the Washington Post.
An accord appears within reach as the negotiations continue. But the timetable for completing a deal is unclear and if those close to the process know at this point what Goodell’s modified role will be, they’re not saying.
According to one person with knowledge of the proceedings, “slow progress” is being made in the talks. That person expressed doubt that a deal will be struck soon but added that the two sides probably “will get there eventually.”
The NFLPA is seeking neutral arbitration for appeals by players of discipline imposed by the league under the sport’s personal conduct policy and integrity-of-the-game rules. Currently such appeals are heard and resolved by Goodell or a person appointed by him.
The report does not state whether Goodell's role in the hearing of evidence and handing down actual punishments would be altered, and also noted that Goodell has maintained that he does not want to relinquish his role as arbitrator to a third party. We'll have to see what the union and the league agree on, but if that particular aspect is not going to change, it's hard to see any alterations to the current system making a substantial difference in quelling the players' frustrations.
