Walking on two legs isn’t as easy as it seems. Especially for robots, where a natural stride is a major challenge. Researchers at EPFL’s Biorobotics Laboratory are testing novel systems to improve humanoids’ ability to walk and interact.
For humans, it comes perfectly naturally. But walking on two legs is actually a complicated task, requiring several muscles to perform delicate balancing acts. That’s why humanoid robots still walk so awkwardly despite years of major technological advancements in the field. Engineers at EPFL’s Biorobotics Laboratory are experimenting with new walking systems on a robot called COMAN, short for COmpliant HuMANoid Platform. This 95-cm-tall humanoid is designed specifically for studying walking - which is why it has no head.
COMAN was developed under the EU AMARSi project and is being used by several research teams. The EPFL team is looking specifically at the "brains" of the machine. "We developed algorithms that can improve the robot’s balance while it’s walking," says Hamed Razavi, an engineer at the Biorobotics Lab.
In harmony with symmetries
One of COMAN’s distinguishing features is its joints, which are made from elastic elements that give it greater flexibility in movement. The EPFL team came up with a revolutionary type of control system for the robot, based on operational symmetries involving the structure of the robot’s movements as well as the mathematical equations defining them. "You could say we’re working in harmony with these symmetries rather than against them. That gives us a steadier gait," says Razavi.
The control system uses sophisticated computer programs to carefully analyze COMAN’s movements - in terms of speed, position, the angles of its joints, etc. - and send the data to its motors in real-time, telling the motors what action to take to maintain the robot’s balance. "If someone pushes COMAN, for example, our algorithms will calculate exactly where its foot should land and what strength to use to counter the force," says Razavi.
Climbing stairs and opening doors
The algorithms are geared towards three types of robot applications. The first is carrying out rescue efforts at disaster sites. "At sites designed by and for humans - like a nuclear power plant with stairs to climb and doors to open - humanoid robots can get around more efficiently than those on wheels," says Razavi. The second is helping with tasks like carrying heavy boxes or moving objects (see box). And the third is creating exoskeletons for the disabled.
"Making the robots more stable is just the tip of the iceberg," says Razavi. The next step is refining the algorithms so that the humanoids have a wider range of movement and can overcome obstacles and walk on irregular or sloped surfaces.
Humanoids helping humans
As part of this project, Jessica Lanini and Hamed Razavi studied how two people carrying an object together are able to walk, turn and speed up in a coordinated manner - without communicating with each other. Their findings, recently published in PLOS ONE , indicate that the two people automatically synchronize their steps, like a quadruped. Now the researchers plan to apply their results to humanoid robots.
"Whether for manufacturing or natural disasters, we need robots that can interact with humans and help us carry heavy objects," says Lanini. "But such robots don’t exist. That’s because, in order to operate safely and effectively, the robots would need to be able to make decisions and respond to unexpected circumstances."
The researchers decided to observe humans, who do things better and more naturally than robots. They analyzed the way humans move and found that some factors like speed, force and hand position play a pivotal role in understanding "commands" like speeding up or stopping. The next step is modeling these observations in order to program the robots. "What is it exactly that makes us slow down or turn? The applied force? A combination of force and speed? The boundary is not yet clear," says Razavi.

SIMMONS: Obama’s tailor-made school plan
Question of the Day
Have you ever wondered why we don’t see President Obama wearing seersucker suits and straw hats, or hoodies and doo-rags?
Think he wears Hickey Freeman?
Who cares, right?
But pay attention to when, how and where the president tailors his messages about education, since looks can be deceiving.
The Obama campaign has had nothing new to say about education reform in a long time.
In fact, even as parents, governors and other power brokers continue to push for tying education dollars to student and teacher achievement and expanding school choice, Mr. Obama and his education secretary, Arne Duncan, continue to weave the rotting threads of the No Child Left Behind Act with the president’s own Race to the Top initiative.
Recently, especially since Rep. Paul Ryan sidled up to presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, the Democrats’ shoo-in has been timing his school messaging to visits in key battleground states and special constituencies in local school districts.
On Thursday, by way of example, the Obama camp begins airing a TV ad simply called “Children,” in which a man, a woman and a voice-over artist advocate smaller class sizes and the “very best public education” system.
The ad targets Virginia, which Mr. Obama turned blue in 2008, and Ohio, which no winning Republican presidential candidate has ever lost. The ads also are running in Nevada.
The overall theme of the ad takes a seam ripper to the Romney-Ryan ticket on education spending.
Team Obama likely is using campaign funds to pay for his radio and TV ads, but his education IOUs are paid for with federal dollars tied to Part II of Race to the Top.
Where the original $4.35 billion Race to the Top program targeted the District of Columbia and the states, the current $400 million offshoot targets school districts.
“Applicant districts must agree to implement the four core components of [Race to the Top] (common standards, teacher evaluations, data systems, and the Administration’s school turnaround model), and must secure school board and teacher union buy-in for their application,” Lindsey Burke explained in a succinct Heritage Foundation blog post.
But check this out. Before school board buy-in was stipulated, the administration actually wanted school districts to evaluate the performance of their school board members.

The three drugs — bevacizumab, rituximab, trastuzumab — are the first monoclonal antibodies produced in Russia, the institution said in a statement. Monoclonal antibodies (MABs) are designed to bind to specific cell proteins. Some trigger the immune system to attack and kill off cancer cells. They can be used alone or to carry drugs, toxins, or radioactive substances directly to cancer cells.
The complete cycle of production of medicines takes place in the facilities of the international company BIOCAD, one of the few full-cycle drug development and manufacturing companies internationally, according to the company.
In 2013, a production building was commissioned in the special economic zone of St. Petersburg, Russia. According to the Russian Ministry of Health, the plant became the first commercial production of pharmacological substances based on monoclonal antibodies in Russia and Eastern Europe.
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in Cuba, after cardiovascular diseases, The World Health Organization (WHO) states. WHO estimates that about 21,000 people die of cancer and more than 31,000 new cancer cases are diagnosed on the island every year.
“Cancer is one of the major killers in Cuba. This is partly because people live longer but also because many have adopted unhealthy lifestyles. Too many people use alcohol harmfully, eat unhealthily and use tobacco,” says Dr Jose Luis Di Fabio, the head of the WHO Country Office in Cuba.
“Among men, prostate and lung cancers are the most common types of cancer, and among women breast and cervical cancer are at the top of the list,” he added.
Cuba’s nationalized medical system is one of the top ranking healthcare programs in the world, and includes a comprehensive national cancer plan that ensures universal access to all levels of healthcare services — from cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and pain management.
Cuba’s proactive primary healthcare system underpins higher levels of health management and treatment as it allows for doctors to see patients regularly, meaning health problems can be caught at an early stage, which can be life-saving for cancer patients.
The country's population of 11.27 million has 452 out-patient clinics. The government prioritizes universal coverage, disease prevention, and treatment access.

The Nigeria Customs Service Board (NCSB) has confirmed the appointments of four members of the management of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) and approved the promotion of 1,997 senior officers at its first meeting held last Thursday.
A statement by the PRO, Joseph Attah, said the meeting which was presided by the Minister of Finance and chairman of the board, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, considered the yardsticks for the promotion.
The yardstick included the cumulative scores of annual evaluation, written examination, oral interview, seniority and availability of vacancies, before approving those most eligible for the promotion from January 1, 2017.
Shortly after the meeting held at the ministry, the newly confirmed members of NCS management were decorated in the Comptroller-General‘s office.
They are Deputy Comptroller General (DCG), Talatu Isa Mairo (Tariff and Trade); ACG, David Elijah Chikan (HRD; ACG, Ibrahim Yakubu Maikarfi (FATS); and ACG, Ali Bukar Amajam (E, I & I).
A breakdown of those promoted shows: 49 Deputy Comptrollers to Comptrollers of Customs; 52 Assistant Comptrollers promoted to Deputy Comptrollers of Customs; and 33 Chief Superintendents who rose to Assistant Comptrollers of Customs.
Others include 370 Chief Superintendents of Customs, 372 Superintendents of Customs, 452 Deputy Superintendents of Customs, and 380 Assistant Superintendents of Customs II among others.
While decorating the confirmed members of Management, the CGC, Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (Rtd), charged them and the newly promoted officers to see their elevations as a call to higher duties.
He told them to recommit themselves to the course of service delivery and build on the gains of the on-going reforms in the Service.

This was a cut-paper design for the birth of two friends’ son – both a small piece of art (although larger than some I have made, as I was trying out some heavier paper) and printable as a book plate. Also practice in boys and dragons.
I am not fond of many particular dragons (they are often austere and irritating, or unduly domesticated), but I have a fondness for the species due primarily to poor Eustace crying to the moon, the glorious Dawn Treader itself, and Chrysophylax prancing along carrying baggage, which suggests that the dragons I love are dragons as imagined Pauline Baynes (who of course illustrated both Lewis’ The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and Tolkien’s Farmer Giles of Ham).
The next dragon is in pen and coloured inks. It was for my nephew’s 13th birthday – he requested “money and an awesome card”, so I broke out the gold paint and drew a dragon, as is traditional for us. When he was very small he used to sit through repeated readings of Margaret Hodge’s Saint George and the Dragon (with Trina Schart Hyman’s lovely illustrations).
How can you forget Smaug?
Of Tolkien’s dragons, I have a vast preference for Chrysophylax. Smaug’s cool and all, but I love the little guy.
Chrysophylax? Not familiar with that one. That was Tolkien? The only ones I know are Smaug and Ancalagon the Black.
Stephen’s fortunate to have parents with a friend with your skills.

AWhen the Champions League winners of the THW Kiel touched down in the dead of night at 2.40 a.m., the German record champions were greeted by a reception committee with flashing lights and sirens. After a boozy flight home from Cologne, the north guard of the Kiel fire brigade gave the THW return a glamorous setting. Above the clouds, the stars around Sander Sagosen had previously sung loudly about the storming of Europe’s handball throne.
The big party did not materialize in view of the corona pandemic. “I have no idea what is allowed,” said the strong THW keeper Niklas Landin after the 33:28 (19:16) coup against FC Barcelona, which crowned the Kielers with a crazy year. For the fourth time, but this time completely unexpected, the THW triumphed in the premier class. “I can’t find any words, I’m so emotional,” enthused coach Filip Jicha.
For the first time in six years, a Bundesliga team celebrated in the most important European club competition. The fact that no spectators were able to follow Kiel’s brilliant performances in Cologne’s Lanxess Arena clouded the joy a little. “Unfortunately, something is missing”, said world handball player Landin, who was the outstanding support of the THW in the final of the late final tournament of the 2019/20 season.
“The whole league is happy about it”
At home and in the rest of handball Germany, there was one congratulation to the others. Schleswig-Holstein’s Prime Minister Daniel Günther (CDU) was delighted “like Bolle about the success” and spoke of a title that was “more than deserved”. Frank Bohmann went into raptures after “two great games” of the THW and emphasized the importance of the success: “The entire league is happy about it,” said the HBL boss to the SID.
The handball scene should also have been very impressed. Because the weakened replacement Kiel fought, it burned – and pulled the favored opponent with a strong cover and thanks to goalkeeper Landin the tooth. At the front, the highly motivated exceptional player Sagosen took over responsibility as he did in the semi-final thriller against Veszprem HC on Saturday. It paid off.
On the return journey, Sagosen was given the task of guarding the “arm with the golden ball”, the trophy of the premier class. “I dreamed of the gold medal that went with it when I was five years old,” he said.
However, the triumph was also the work of the coach. Filip Jicha, who won the Champions League with Kiel as a player in 2010 and 2012 under the current national coach Alfred Gislason, celebrated the greatest success of his young coaching career. The Czech is the first handball player to triumph as a player and coach for a club on Europe’s largest stage.
“It feels incredible, we’ve made history,” enthused the 38-year-old. In the previous year he had taken over the coaching position at the zebras from his mentor Gislason – after the “Corona title” in the Bundesliga, he was now continuing its success story in the premier class.
That also earned respect from a former national coach. “I have high hopes for Filip Jicha, who was an outstanding player and has a very good character,” praised former DHB coach Heiner Brand at Sky. “What Kiel achieved in the two days in“ Final4 ”was extraordinary. That only works if the relationship between player and coach is right. “

Darksiders 2 combat designer Ben Cureton has said players will discover a variety of methods to combine protagonist Death’s moves that aren’t detailed within the instructional manual.
Cureton discussed the sequel’s combat with Siliconera, as well as the game’s influences:
We definitely played every combat game. It doesn’t matter if it’s considered the best game of all time or the worst game of all time. We play ‘em all. Obviously, we had the Zelda inspiration with the puzzles and stuff. But for combat, we are huge DMC and Bayonetta fans. We didn’t want to re-create DMC and Bayonetta, but we wanted to re-create the feeling of open-ended combat; allow players to come up with their own combos and be creative.
We didn’t just want people to play Darksiders 1.5, we wanted people to play Darksiders 2.5. We wanted to raise the bar on what they expected from our franchise, and not come in and feel like they were playing the exact same game. So we decided to make Death completely different from War, but at the same time he still feels like a character from the Darksiders universe.
Darksiders 2 is now available in North America, while European territories receive the game next week on Tuesday.

Hey guys! I hope you all liked our last edition of Sunday Funday. For this weeks edition we have an eclectic group of artists that we think you’ll really like.
First we have Lily Allen and her new video for her song Sheezus. In it, she gives praise to other female stars such as Lady Gaga, Lorde, Rihanna, and Katy Perry. After her compliments, she claims, “Second best will never cut it for the divas/ give me that crown bitch/ I wanna be Sheezus” Although the competitive yet aware song is unique, the video is far more avant-garde. Watch it below!
Next is Cam Meekins, who just released his first single off of his upcoming album, 1993 Vol. 2, called Hater. The latest track features a relatively poppy chorus mixed with some catchy guitar riffs and rock influenced drums. On top of the catchy instrumental, Cam critiques the mainstream music scenes desire for money over quality music. 1993 Vol. 2 is due to drop May 21st.
The last song for this weeks Sunday Funday is a song that was inspired by a delightful Coke commercial, called Coca-Cola. Jackson Breit, a regular on The Eargazm, created an incredible song over the instrumental that was in the commercial and gave it his own spin. The whole song is an ode to the iconic drink, still it’s a song that you can sit on your porch and jam to (like I’m doing now), or listen to when you want a good laugh for the awesome concept. You can download it for free as well!

The discreet charm of discretionary ethics
I have a few more questions about journalistic ethics.
In the case of pseudonyms (discussed infra), I see two issues, which are not at all the same:
I would defend to the death the right to anonymity, which includes the right to use a pseudonym. This free speech principle stretches far back in this country's history -- to The Federalist Papers, which are considered by many to rank among this country's founding documents.
However, when someone is the subject of a story as well as a news source, and that person is identified, quoted by that name, called a "spokesperson" under that name, and makes charges against persons whose identities and whereabouts are public facts, I think that the name of the source becomes a vital part of the story. If the name is not the source's real name, that should be disclosed as part of the story.
Don't we have a right to know whether someone is being anonymous?
The following is from the Society of Professional Journalists's Code of Ethics:
It's pretty clear that at minimum, a journalist should ask whether a source's (or particularly, a spokesperson's) name is a real name.
That's why ABC News issued an apology for running a story about a Palestinian using the pseudonym of "Abu Shahar" without bothering to tell the viewers this was a pseudonym.
I'm wondering whether in spite of an apparently settled ethical policy, there's a sort of unofficial (but very flexible) code along the lines of "Don't ask, don't tell" (wink-wink).
I said flexible, because it might be left up to the discretion of the individual reporter.
I don't like the look of the word "discretion."
It seems pretty close to a blank check -- a free invitation for individual bias. Not that bias should be made illegal or anything like that. I just don't like seeing it hidden behind meaningless, um, "standards."

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has issued a directive to ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund (MF) for allegedly violating the MF code of conduct by making a large investment in the initial public offering (IPO) of its group firm ICICI Securities. The investment allowed the IPO to meet a minimum subscription requirement, without which it would have failed.
The market regulator has directed the fund house to refund Rs 2.4 billion with an annual interest of 15 per cent to five schemes of the MF which invested in the IPO.
Further, the regulator also ordered compensating investors who have redeemed their units since the date of allotment of shares in the IPO. The fund house was asked to determine the schemes’ loss because of the fall in share price after listing, said a person aware of the development.
According to Sebi, the fund house has violated the Sebi (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996, which includes violation of the code of conduct.
Sebi’s MF code of conduct includes requirements for integrity and avoiding conflict of interest. It notes that MFs must avoid conflict of interest in managing the affairs of the schemes and keep the interests of all unit holders paramount in all matters. It says that the AMC shall carry out the business and invest in accordance with the investment objectives stated in the offer documents.
It will also take investment decision solely in the interest of unit holders.
ICICI Prudential MF under five of its schemes - ICICI Prudential Balanced Advantage Fund, ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund, ICICI Prudential Banking and Financial Services Fund, ICICI Prudential Focused Bluechip Equity Fund, and ICICI Prudential Value Fund Series 19 - applied for and was allotted 12.3 million shares at a price of Rs 520 apiece, totalling Rs 6.40 billion in the qualified institutional buyer (QIB) category.
The regulator noted that the MF had applied for Rs 4 billion on the first day, and later made an additional last-day investment of Rs 2.4 billion.
“The decision to revise bids and make additional bids on the last day is a clear indication of facilitating subscription in the QIB portion, so that the issue does not fail,” Sebi said in a directive to ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company (AMC).
An email sent to ICICI Prudential AMC did not elicit any response. ICICI Securities had to reduce its IPO size to Rs 35.2 billion, following poor response from investors. It had initially planned to raise over Rs 40 billion. The IPO would have fallen short of the required 75 per cent QIB subscription if not for ICICI Prudential MF’s investment on the last day. The subscription would have been 70.11 per cent, excluding this second investment by ICICI Prudential MF.
The ICICI Securities stock closed at Rs 440 on its listing day (April 4, 2018) before hitting a high of Rs 462.70 on the BSE. It has never scaled to the IPO price of Rs 520 and since then, has been declining gradually to close at Rs 326.10 on Monday, an over 37 per cent fall in less than three months.

TYLER, TX (KLTV) -
If you just happened to pass by a little gathering on the square in downtown Tyler Tuesday afternoon, there's no way you could know just how important it was, or how much work it took to make it happen.
But at the center of that gathering, a Purple Heart medal is finally home, after a trip from more than 1500 miles away.
Kris Wilson of Edom had given up on finding her long-lost uncle, Robert Bates, who died on board the U.S.S. Arizona at Pearl Harbor. Her family had tried to fill that hole in its history for 20 years.
What they couldn't know is that earlier this year in Bakersfield, California, someone found Robert's purple heart, basically in the street.
That medal found its way to a high school history class, taught by Ken Hooper.
"When they brought it in, I showed it to the students, and they attacked the computers," Hooper said.
Hooper's students knew how important the medal was, but were stonewalled by, of all things, a 70-year-old typo.
"The official Pearl Harbor web site, says Tobert Bates, not Robert Bates," Hooper said.
Hooper and his students kept working, and finally connected Robert to his niece in East Texas, who couldn't believe it when she got the phone call.
"That part of our history was almost lost for good," Wilson said. "His great-nieces and nephews, his memory will live on."
And they'll have that medal to help. Hooper made the trip from California to personally deliver it to the family. And he's got a great story to tell his students when he gets home.
"Teachers get paid in strange ways, this was payment in full," Hooper said. "To see her reaction, I knew that we did the right thing."
Thanks to the work done by Mr. Hooper's class, the Bates family also found more of their family in Athens, TX.

Comic Artist Creates Hilarious Stories Around Famous Characters With Unpredictable Endings
Step into a world where iconic superheroes like Thor and Hulk, as well as beloved characters such as Batman, find themselves in side-splitting predicaments that defy all expectations. Each tale in this extraordinary comic series concludes with a twist that will have you laughing until you cry. Brace yourself for a rollercoaster ride through the absurd and hilarious.
In the realm of these comics, sensibilities, and logic are tossed out the window routinely, just as the illustrator promises. Aliens, for instance, don’t visit Earth to conquer it but instead to remind you that you’re still single, leaving you perplexed and amused by their unconventional agenda.
Meanwhile, in an unexpected twist, Hulk and Thor, the epitome of strength and heroism, decide to spend their day hanging out at a playground. But when Thor requests a simple push on the swings from the Hulk, a comically tragic mishap unfolds. Hulk’s accidental stumble results in an outrageously overpowered swing, sending Thor hurtling beyond Earth’s atmosphere, leaving both characters and readers bewildered.
The laughter continues as the comic explores a world where zombies are on the hunt for brains, but there’s an extraordinary caveat. They bypass anyone who holds up a poster declaring the Earth is flat, revealing that even the undead have their limits when it comes to choosing their prey. It’s a hilarious twist that leaves us questioning the true intelligence of the zombies and the people they decide to ignore.
These comics epitomize the unexpected and absurd. They challenge your perceptions and lead you down paths of hilarity that you never saw coming. The illustrator’s dedication to defying the conventional and delivering side-splitting punchlines keeps readers eagerly anticipating each new installment. In a world where imagination knows no bounds, these comics prove that laughter can be found in the most unlikely places as famous characters navigate scenarios that defy both sensibility and logic.

No, Newt is the best of a good bunch. He is Reagan’s succesor!!
Newt is not Reagan’s “successor.” Is my sarcasm detector broke? Maybe. Listen to a few of Reagan’s speeches and then tell me that the solutionist Gingrich in anyway compares. Gingrich has a plan called better government. Reagan’s plan was less government. My work is done here.
I love Newt and his ideas, but he is no Reagan and he needs to evaluate whether he is helping or hurting if he can’t win in the South.

Art rock collective The Pull of Autumn have teamed up with Luke ‘Skyscraper’ James of I.R.S. recording artist FASHION on ‘Funhouse’, the latest offering from the collective’s fourth album ‘Beautiful Broken World’, an ambitious 15-track undertaking that began in early 2020. James is a key player in The Pull of Autumn, having contributed to every album released to date.
Earlier, the band released ‘Outlaw Empire’ featuring The Pop Group legend Mark Stewart and bassist Doug Wimbish (Living Colour, Tackhead, The Rolling Stones, Sugarhill Gang), which was remixed by legendary producer Adrian Sherwood. That was followed by ‘Live Today’ with Tokyo dreamgazers Once Grace Forever.
This record involves a number of iconic artists, including Philip Parfitt of The Perfect Disaster, Stuart Moxham of Rough Trade postpunk band Young Marble Giants and John Neff, who has contributed to multiple David Lynch films and is also a member of David Lynch’s Blubob.
The Pull of Autumn is a ‘super group’ of sorts, with songs orbiting around Rhode Island artist Daniel Darrow of Johanna’s House of Glamour and involving numerous emerging and notable musicians from the local music scene and further abroad. The band’s debut 2018 eponymous album was followed by ‘Afterglow’ in 2019 and ‘Small Colors’ in 2020.
“This song is about how people in rural communities used to have to wait a year for the circus/ carnival to come to town. Then it would be gone. As opposed to the oceans of distraction and “entertainment” that the human race currently wallows around in,” says Luke ‘Skyscraper’ James.
Daniel Darrow adds, “For ‘Funhouse’, I wanted to add an inner-ear sound that would give the track an otherworldly sound. Luke is a fabulous writer and easily grasps many different sounds in sound design. We’ve been friends since 2018 and I’m glad we have a wonderful friendship as well as shared interest in all types of music.”

Columbiana may extend drug policy
COLUMBIANA – The Columbiana School District is looking at a new drug policy for athletics.
The district currently has an in-season policy and Superintendent Don Mook said the new policy is for out-of-season use.
It has already gone through the athletic council and met the approval of athletic director Erin Heasley, and Mook said head football coach Bob Spaite has agreed to discipline anyone found violating the policy out-of-season.
Under the policy the first offense would result in 10 percent denial of participation for athletic contests that fall within a one-year period from the time of the offense.
The student would also be required to attend a minimum of three controlled substance counseling sessions through an agency approved by the administration, with each session documented by the athletic director.
The second offense would result in following the in-season consequences, beginning at the first level and onward, regardless of the time of the occurrence.
The in-season consequences are similar to out of season with the exception of 20 percent denial of participation for a first offense. The second offense results in three substance controlled classes and one year denial of participation for all activities.
The third offense for both in and out of season is total denial of participation for the remainder of the school year.
Heasley said the council wanted a new policy because the district did not have one for out of season use, and not because there were any issues with athletes.
Students violate the policy if they are found in possession, handling, transmitting, concealing or using alcohol, illegal drugs, look-a-like drugs and/or steroids.
At its recent meeting, school board member Mark Hutson asked who would pay for the substance counseling program.
Mook said the ADAPT Coalition would work with the district and if cost is a hindrance in-house counselors could be used.
ADAPT is Columbiana County alcohol drug abuse prevention program offered through the Family Recovery Center.
The new policy has not been presented to the board for a vote yet.

The Supreme Court on Monday refused to consider a case in which Qwest Communications International Inc. had been ordered to produce 220,000 pages of documents to shareholders in a civil securities fraud lawsuit.
Qwest attorneys had argued the documents were protected by attorney-client and work-product privilege.
Many shareholders involved in the lawsuit reached a $450 million class action settlement with Qwest, but claims are pending against former Chief Executive Officer Joseph Nacchio and former Chief Financial Officer Robert Woodruff.
The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court’s decision that the company waived its privilege when it gave the documents to the Securities and Exchange Commission and Justice Department.
The shareholders sued the company in 2001, about a year before the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Justice Department opened separate investigations into accounting improprieties that eventually led Qwest to remove billions of dollars in improperly reported revenue from its books.
Based in Denver, Qwest is the primary phone service provider in 14 mostly Western states.
The case is Qwest Communications International Inc. v. New England Health Care Employees Pension Fund, 06-343.

In China, Obama presses for rights
Monday, November 16, 2009; 10:28 AM
SHANGHAI -- Meeting with a carefully screened group of students at the marquee event of his Asia trip, President Obama on Monday sought to advance what he called America's "core principles" during his first public appearance in China. But the event itself -- billed as an opportunity for Obama to reach beyond Chinese officialdom -- illustrated the Chinese government's tight grip.
The "freedoms of expression and worship, of access to information and political participation, we believe are universal rights," Obama said at a town hall-style meeting in Shanghai, China's most modern and outward-looking metropolis. Liberty, the president told nearly 500 students bused to a science museum decked with U.S. and Chinese flags, should be "available to all people, including ethnic and religious minorities, whether they are in the United States, China or any other nation."
Virtually every aspect of the event was staged, and it was unclear how many Chinese citizens saw the hour-long exchange, which was not broadcast on national television. One of the most provocative statements Obama made -- about the importance of opening up the Internet -- was posted on Chinese news sites at first, but then was deleted.
Obama's audience, selected and coached beforehand by university officials, came from eight different Shanghai universities. A small, random sampling suggested the vast majority were members of the Communist Party. Many of the eight questions put to the president by students echoed Chinese government talking points.
Nonetheless, administration officials were satisfied with the outcome. "We understood the limitations," said senior White House adviser David M. Axelrod, who is traveling with the president. Regardless of how the questions were generated, Axelrod said, Obama's "answers were his own, and he got a chance to make them to a larger audience on local TV and over the Internet. That made it a very worthwhile event."
Obama later flew to Beijing for a small dinner with Chinese President and Communist Party chief Hu Jintao, whom he will meet again Tuesday morning.
Interviewed after the town-hall event in Shanghai, students generally gave Obama good, if not rave, reviews. And though highly choreographed, the session still left more room for spontaneity than do the meetings China's own leaders hold with ordinary people.
Wang Zhuchen, a student in international relations at Fudan University, said he was surprised -- and also impressed -- to hear the U.S. president talk of his family and children. A Chinese leader, he said, would never discuss anything personal in public.
Wang, a Party member, quickly added that this did not reflect badly on Chinese leaders but merely their "different traditions and culture." Wang said students could ask what they wanted but had been instructed "not to hurt the feelings of our guests."
The one question that pushed normal Chinese boundaries came via the Internet and was read aloud by U.S. Ambassador Jon Huntsman. "In a country with 350 million Internet users and 60 million bloggers, do you know of the firewall?" the question began, referring to the Chinese government's practice of blocking sites it dislikes, a system of Internet censorship known as the Great Firewall. The question also asked, "Should we be able to use Twitter freely?"
"I've always been a strong supporter of open Internet use. I'm a big supporter of non-censorship," Obama replied. "I recognize that different countries have different traditions. I can tell you that in the United States, the fact that we have free Internet -- or unrestricted Internet access -- is a source of strength, and I think should be encouraged."
Administration officials said the U.S. Embassy in Beijing received more than 1,000 questions for Obama via the Internet. The online questions were chosen at random, with the help of White House Correspondents' Association President Edwin Chen, who selected several numbers that corresponded with questions that were then read aloud.

THE STYLISH SPOLETO IS ONE OF MOST CHARMING CITY IN UMBRIA, A PLACE OF UNIQUE BEAUTY.
The historic center has maintained its medieval appearance, although traces of its Roman heritage are still visible. Spoleto’s most ancient monuments are the Arch of Drusus and Germanicus, a Roman arch that led into the forum (now Piazza del Mercato),, the Roman theater, and the Basilica of San Salvatore
The town’s greatest monument is the Duomo (Cathedral). Built in the Romanesque style in the 12th century, it was subsequently modified with the addition of a Renaissance portico to the façade, which is decorated with a large Byzantine-style mosaic (1207). Inside are many excellent works of art, including a fresco of the Madonna and Saints by Pinturicchio, the bronze bust of Urban VIII by Bernini, and an extraordinary fresco cycle by Filippo Lippi.
In a dominant position over Narni and Gole del Nera there is Rocca Albornoziana, a fortress Cardinal Egidio Albornoz had built starting in 1352 to a design by Matteo Gattaponi, to the slopes of the mountain, Monteluco, overlooking the town. This area of pristine nature has a wood considered sacred by the anchorites who settled here starting in the 7th century and later founded the Convent of San Francesco (1218) and the Church of San Giuliano. Returning to the town proper, deserving of a visit are the Palazzo
One way to reach Rocca Albornoziana is the magnificent Ponte delle Torri is an imposing structure, about 230 metres long and 80 high, made from local limestone and adjoining Sant’Elia hill and Monteluco.
|It can be reached from Piazza Campello by heading down Via del Ponte, which runs alongside the wall of the Rocca Albornoziana fortress.

After a fine weekend of weather, perfect for the lowering operation, both stocks were lowered safely the ground in readiness for assessment and refurbishment. Thanks must go to Steve Temple of Impington Windmill, Andrew Kite of Downfield Windmill and family friend Richard for helping to achieve this.
Saturday started off with the front stock being prepared. In a slight change of plan, it was estimated that the entire stock could be removed by pulling it out forwards (rather than having to rotate the windshaft round once the stock reached the ground) even though the tip wouldn’t have cleared the canister by the time it reached the ground. This is due to the fact that the rear of the stock tapers as it reaches the tips providing sufficient clearance for it to exit the stock. In turn it was decided that the clamps could remain attached to the stock and the upper two studs removed to allow them to slide clear of the canister. Although making the load heavier, the reduced number of operations would make the process simpler. As a result the rigging could be slightly less complex but would still prove to be a challenge.
Firstly a stout bar, long enough to pass right through the canister, was passed through the striking rod hole before the wedges holding the stock in tightly were knocked out. This acted as a safety measure until the rigging could be completed and weight of the stock taken by a winch. The clamps were still bolted up tightly, holding on to the canister at this stage nonetheless. Next the ‘Tirfor’ winch was attached to a nearby tree and the cable looped up and over a dedicated pulley which was attached to the front of the canister. The cable was then run down to a sling looped under the clamps and behind the stock. This part of the rigging would provide the lowering element by allowing the stock to descend under gravity with the winch providing the control. As a safety measure, a 6:1 block and tackle rig was also attached in a similar manner which would allow one person to provide a back-up with a friction loop wrapped through the door of the mill and around a large beam. Once the tension was taken up in the cable and the back-up, the upper two studs holding the clamps together were removed to allow them to spread. Lastly the safety bar could be removed and the stock was ready to be lowered. At the lower end of the stock, another rope was attached to a 4:1 pulley system with a locking feature which would allow the stock/clamps to be pulled away from the smock and eventually out of the canister. The other end was attached to the tow-bar of a car with the handbrake on and in gear!
As the tension was released in the winch cable the stock and clamps slid down gently and just prior to reaching the ground, the two wheeled trolley (used for the sails) was attached to the tip to allow the stock to roll along the ground. The only snag was that due to the orientation of the cap, the entire stock needed to be rotated round by a few degrees in order for a clear run of driveway. This entailed releasing the brake in the Mill to allow the windshaft to rotate very slightly. As the stock was pulled forward to the point where the upper end would clear the canister, the rigging would need to be reset otherwise the stock would hit the smock due to the rigging point being much further down. Once almost clear of the canister, the pulley was moved to above the canister (suspended from one of the studs removed from the clamps) and the cable passed inside the canister and attached to another sling attached to a bolt which could now be passed through the hole at the tip of the stock. The winch was then removed and mounted on to the ‘timber bob’ and railway sleepers (again used during sail removal) as they could be positioned directly under the canister and thus allow the cable to pass up to the pulley without fouling the sides of the canister. Once tension was taken up again, the lower end of the stock could be drawn away from the Mill using the ground ropes whilst the tension was released allowing the upper end to clear the canister without swinging into the smock and be lowered to the ground. Once on the ground, the wheels were used to roll the stock into a position above some sturdy saw horses and lifted by 4 people into position. It is estimated that each stock with respective clamps has a mass of around 500kg!
Sunday saw the same principles being used to remove the rearmost stock, however subtle differences in the arrangements were needed partly due to the fact that the clamps have to fit around a curve on the canister. The winch was rigged to a point lower on the stock (rather than the tree) and then looped up round the pulley attached to the canister thus providing a 2:1 advantage. The disadvantage of this rigging was that the winch had to be operated in mid-air whilst descending down the Mill. Once the stock started to be drawn away from the mill it made it more difficult to reach and thus harder to operate. Fortunately by this stage the stock was almost clear of the canister and could be re-rigged as before with the pulley being moved to above the canister and the winch anchored to the timber bob and sleepers.
Once on the ground the stocks and clamps all seem to be in reasonable condition bar a bit of warping and some shakes (gaps where the timber has shrunk and split). There is one small area of decay on one stock near the tip but this should be repairable before it spreads further.
The next step is to understand what is required to make the cap sound and allow it to turn to wind.
- Stocks ready to be removed!

Purchasing, planting, and eating food that you grow from the ground up gives you a sense of pride. When it comes to growing in autumn, there are some things to consider, such as what zone you’re in and what trees can handle the cold weather. With all that in mind, these are some delicious fruit trees you can plant for the fall.
No fruit symbolizes the autumn months more than the wonderfully crisp apple. You can’t go wrong opting for more traditional apple options such as Red Delicious, Fuji, and Granny Smith. However, you can also go a different route with some under-the-radar picks. For example, a Red Columnar tree isn’t a staple at most stores, but it’s the perfect complement for all things fall. One of the main reasons why it’s ideal for fall is that it can handle temperatures as low as -20 degrees Fahrenheit. Furthermore, its colors flawlessly match any fall decoration and aesthetic.
When it comes to taste, opting for the Yellow Delicious is the move to make. The timeless, crisp classic is perfect for any apple-picking venture.
If you love peaches, planting peach trees during early springtime might be better. However, you can also purchase some cold-hardy peach trees that can handle cold climates. Peaches such as the Intrepid and the Reliance can handle the harshest winters, growing as far north as Canada. Planting them in the winter allows you to not worry about the late spring frosts that might otherwise destroy your crop.
Apples are the main events of fall fruit, but pears are just as yummy and possibly easier to grow. However, reaping the rewards may take a little time—it may be a few years before any pears develop. Yet once they start growing, you’ll be flourishing.
These delicious fruit trees you can plant in the fall are great options for any green thumb or foodie. Eating fruits you’ve grown yourself feels lovely, especially when they make your mouth water—as all of these selections will.

Ticks and Fleas
Ticks transmit more than Lyme disease. Ticks can carry Rocky Mountain spotted fever, several types of ehrlichiosis and other potentially harmful diseases. Tick-borne diseases are increasing in prevalence and one tick may transmit several pathogens.

What Is Lyme Disease?
Lyme disease is an illness caused by the bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi, which can be spread through the bite of certain types of ticks. Lyme disease in humans can have serious symptoms but can be effectively treated.
Ticks and Fleas … What You Need to Know
Ticks are a common parasite for both dogs and people. Species are found worldwide and may infest dogs in very large numbers, especially during certain times of the year. Ticks as well as fleas act as vectors of disease. Three stages of the tick – larvae, nymph and adult – parasitize animals and humans.
For Dog Owners
Biting fleas and ticks are more than a nuisance. They pose serious health risks to your dog because each parasite is a vector – an organism that spreads infection by passing pathogens from one host to another.

The dream was on as City captain broke the deadlock and Ilkay Gundogan added another in a first half far more one-sided than the two-goal advantage suggested against shambolic United.
This was the second match in a row that his team had conceded three goals in the space of 15-20 minutes.
The sense was compounded by that very bad first half. He's not had a great time at United but he was brilliant in the second half.
United goalkeeper David de Gea demonstrated his world-class ability with a brilliant save from Aguero before the curtain came down on 90 minutes that nearly suspended belief and turned the hope of the home support upside down into despair.
"I didn't want to lose against City. Because the way he played is only possible when he's focused on the game".
Inspired by Barcelona's remarkable comeback from a 0-4 round of 16 first-leg deficit to Paris Saint-Germain to win 6-5 on aggregate past year, Guardiola insisted that it is possible to beat Liverpool if City are clinical on the night.
The draw, though, allowed Spurs to move alongside them with a sixth straight league win as they defeated Stoke, whose relegation fears in 19th place were only heightened. United's best Premier League side accrued "just" 79 points in that Treble season.

The match was also important for Mourinho.
Instead, Pogba's duff form caused unrest between him and Mourinho, and led to the manager dropping him in February for a Premier League win over Huddersfield Town and the Champions League defeat by Sevilla in March.
Eric Bailly (5) - Noticeably United's best defender usually and it was noticeably not the defenders best day at the office.
RD: It was a good time to play City and even though it was a strong side, they weren't at full strength. When the weeping fans glance at the standings they will still see City 13 points clear of United at the summit with six games remaining.
Ander Herrera (7) - Like Matic, Herrera was part of the midfield that failed to maintain shape in the first half.
Herrera said: "Paul can be the best in the world". Last night's win was a big mental victory and hopefully, they would thrive going forward.
Well, if the champagne was ready and the ice was frozen; then it was a sheer waste of money and excitement as Manchester City totally ruined the party mood that engulfed the stadium at halftime.
Raheem Sterling's old uncertainty in front of goal, absent this season, suddenly returned and his two missed chances ended up as decisive moments in a most unlikely turn of events.
