On 7th May 2015 The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS), East Africa hosted the program’s Independent Science Panel (ISP) and Program Management Committee (PMC) at the Nyando Climate-Smart Villages in Kenya, one of the region’s learning sites. The team visited farmers to see the uptake of various climate- smart technologies that have made them food secure and increased their adaptive capacity to climate variability. The climate –smart farmers have not only increased their yields but have also become champion farmers (examples) for the community to emulate.

Penn Theatre Arts Program
Spring 2016 Mainstage Production
April 7–10, 2016
@ Penn Museum
'The Eumenides' is the third play in Aeschylus’ great masterpiece, the tragic trilogy 'The Oresteia,' written more than 2,500 years ago. In response to the pleadings of his sister Electra and at the command of the god Apollo, Orestes has murdered his mother, Clytemnestra, who was wife and murderer of his father Agamemnon. As a consequence, Orestes finds himself tormented by the terrible Furies, hideous ancient goddesses of the underworld divinely charged with punishing blood murders. Guests follow the actors through Penn Museum’s third floor galleries.
Directed by Marcia Ferguson and featuring original music by composer Patrick Lamborn, this production is performed in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania Theatre Arts Program’s Artistic Resident for 2016, Sebastienne Mundheim/White Box Theatre, who created the production design, with additional support from the Provost’s Interdisciplinary Arts fund.

The Art Center Cooperative, the Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT), the Cathedral Arts Project, St. Johns Riverkeeper, Duval County Public Schools and Comcast have developed and sponsored the River Art Mentorship Program — educationally based, maritime-themed art workshops for select Duval County Public School (DCPS) middle school students.
The program’s purpose is to provide creatively gifted students the opportunity to continue practicing art, while expanding their knowledge of the region’s greatest asset, the St. Johns River. The program partners agree it is important to foster the growth of young artists through imagination and discovery.
Mary Atwood of The Art Center Cooperative explains the organization’s interest in creating the River Art Mentorship Program. “As part of The Art Center’s ongoing mission to bring art opportunities to underserved children, it is our pleasure to team up with these outstanding organizations to host the River Art Mentorship program. We hope by combining academic and artistic experiences, we can help motivate the participating students to reach for success in the classroom as well as inspire them to further explore and expand their own creative abilities.”
Sessions began with a river tour and continued with workshops focusing on painting, print making, These workshops, held at The Art Center at 229 North Hogan Street, were offered at no charge to the students. Funding is received through a grant from Target and in-kind donations from supporters. The students were encouraged to produce works of art which reflect both the industrial and natural beauty of the St. Johns River.

A blocked extra point by Matthew Tamburri and a 4th down sack by Curtis Jerzerick sealed Army West Point Sprint Football’s victory over Navy 24-23 in a thriller at Shea Stadium on Halloween Oct. 31.
With the win, the Black Knights (7-0, 7-0 CSFL) cap off their 17th perfect season and 34th Collegiate Sprint Football League (CSFL) title.
The seniors from the Class of 2016 who were honored before today’s game have the best four-year record of any class in the program’s 58-year history at 27-1 and won three CSFL Championships. Those seniors are kicker Warren Kay, punter Mark Dabeck, defensive linemen Jared Sturgell, Curtis Gardner and Philip Choi, wide receivers Justin Hall, Othie Freeny, Kevin O’Brien and Tucker Van Dyke, defensive backs Jack Barnett, Alfred McQuirter and Shaq Tolbert, linebacker Ryan Gallagher, and offensive linemen Gerald McDonough, Nolan Jones, Cale Brown, Darius Javan and Kenny McClain.
Sophomore running back Marqus Burrell led all rushers with 121 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries for the Black Knights while freshman quarterback Brady Miller completed 11 of 18 for 100 yards and two touchdowns. Van Dyke and Kevin O’Brien led the team in receiving with Van Dyke hauling in four passes for 20 yards while O’Brien gain 45 yards receiving.
On the defensive side of the ball, Tamburri had a game-high 15 tackles and came up with the biggest stop of the season blocking Navy’s (5-2, 4-2 CSFL) potential game-tying extra point with 3:29 left in the game. Fellow Sophomore Tanner Andrews recorded two interceptions, bringing his season-total to six. Sophomore Nathan Lopez and Tolbert also recorded interceptions for Army. Jerzerick’s game-ending sack was the only one for the Black Knights, who came into the Star Game leading the CSFL in that category with 40 and had the league-leader in Choi who had 11.5 in the first six games.

Eighth-grader Alexius Pierce made the go-ahead layup in the game's last minute, and junior Diamonne Harris hit four straight free throws in the final 10 seconds as the Syracuse Academy of Science held off Allegany-Limestone, 55-50, in a Class C girls basketball state semifinal at Hudson Valley Community College.
The Section III-champion Atoms (20-4) will play in the 8-year-old program's first state final at 4 p.m. Saturday against Section IX champion Millbrook.
"It feels unbelievable," said Harris, who led all scorers with 20 points. "We worked so hard - day after day - it was all worth it. It feels so good."
"We just willed our way (to the win), said senior leader Lyrik Jackson, who scored 14 points, grabbed eight rebounds and made five steals for the Atoms. "Coach said keep pushing. We didn't want to go home."
SAS, which trailed by six points at the half (32-26) sparked its second-half offense with a pressing defense that forced Allegany-Limestone into 22 turnovers and yielded a dozen steals.
The #SASAtoms also held Gators' star senior center Morgan Davis to 14 points, about five below her season's average. Morgan only had six in the second half.
"Amazing. Just amazing," said #SASCS head coach Reggie Pickard. "I'm still kind of dreaming - like are we here or not, you know? We're doing everything possible to win a championship. We've worked hard for eight years, and here we are."
The Atoms trailed by as many as eight points late in the second quarter but caught the Gators just two minutes into the third using a press that started paying off in turnovers.
"Our pressure has been the key for us all year," Pickard said. "We force turnovers, make the game kind of ugly.
I thought if we pressured a little more in the second half it would harder for them to get the ball to their bigs."
Allegany-Limestone, from Section VI near Olean, still led by two at the start of the fourth quarter, but SAS sophomore Xyel Bradford's 3-pointer put the Atoms ahead, 41-40, with just under 7 minutes left. Pierce hit another huge three with 2:30 left to play that gave SAS a 47-46 advantage.
But the Gators continued to make big baskets, too, and Allegany-Limestone had a 50-49 lead, and the ball, with just under a minute left to play.
On the in-bounds play, Harris dove for a steal and somehow got the ball to Pierce, who drove in for what would turn out to be the winning points, making it 51-50, Atoms.
The Gators began fouling, but Harris proved worthy against the pressure, hitting two sets for free throws in the final eight seconds.
"It was very nerve-wracking, but we do this all of the time in practice," she said. "I have to stay calm."
Allegany-Limestone coach Frank Martin said his team just couldn't quite hold it together in the final minutes against the SAS quickness.
"I'd love to have the last minute and a half back," he said. "We weren't as good as we needed to be to close this game out. We just weren't as good as we needed to be at the end."
The Atoms had a scare in the final seconds when Jackson took a shot to her head when she went down chasing a loose ball and an Allegany-Limestone player fell on top of her. She had to be helped off the court but was up and talking in the aftermath.
Harris said she hoped to go swimming in the hotel pool later in the day, but her coach wasn't hearing it.
No, no. We're not going to do any swimming," he said, laughing. "Too much muscle movement. They got mad at me last night because I took their phones from them. I'm doing that again tonight, too."

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder met with members of the North Charleston Police Department, Charleston Farms Community, and a program participant in the department's innovative program S.T.A.N.D. (Stop and Take A New Direction).
Attorney General Holder heard first hand how the program, which focused on not just arresting low level narcotics dealers with little or no prior criminal history but to go a step further and help those involved in the activity change their lives for the better, has changed the lives of several participants and improved the quality of life in the neighborhood. AG Holder praised the department for "thinking outside of the box" in crime reduction strategies and for its community involvement.
Of the original eight (8) participants accepted in to the program, four completed the program, maintain full time employment and continue to be productive citizens. The project was broadcast nationwide last year on Dateline NBC.

In scratching out a 64-61 win over Maryland Eastern Shore on Saturday evening at the HU Convocation Center, the Hampton University men's basketball team snapped its six-game losing streak.
The Pirates improved to 9-14 overall and 5-5 in the MEAC on the season.
Head coach Edward Joyner Jr. won his 91st career game in the process, becoming the program's all-time winningest Div. I coach – surpassing Steve Merfeld.
Guard Reginald Johnson registered his second straight 20-point game, leading all Pirate scorers with 21 points on 7-for-15 shooting. Guard/forward Dwight Meikle added 16 points and a team-high 11 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the season.
Guard Deron Powers added 11 points and four assists.
The Pirates shot 44.2 percent (23-for-52) from the floor – thanks in large part to a 14-for-25 effort (56.0 percent) in the second half. Hampton scored 25 points off of 16 UMES turnovers, and Hampton held a 26-22 edge in points in the paint.
A layup from Devin Martin with 2:14 left in the game tied the contest at 58-58, before Johnson answered with 1:11 left by converting an acrobatic 3-point play to put the Pirates up 61-58. Dominique Elliott cut that lead to 61-60 with a jumper with 55 seconds left.
But Meikle put his stamp on the game with 42 seconds left, finding space on the fast break before floating in the air, making it look as if he would finger-roll the ball into the hoop, before slamming the ball home with one hand to give the Pirates a 63-60 lead.
The two teams traded free throws down the stretch, but Martin missed both of his 3-pointers in the closing moments to hand the Pirates the hard-fought win.
The UMES led much of the night, though – particularly in the first half. The Hawks opened the game with six straight – thanks to back-to-back 3-pointers from Ryan Andino – before the Pirates cut the lead to 6-5 on a jumper in the paint from junior forward Jervon Pressley.
The Hawks opened the game back up, taking a 22-10 lead at the 8:37 mark after a 3-pointer from Martin. A dunk from Michael Myers and a layup from Devon Walker gave UMES a 29-16 lead with 2:39 left in the half.
But Hampton scored the last seven points of the frame – a jumper and 3-pointer from Meikle and a jumper from Powers – to cut UMES' lead to 29-23 at the break.
That momentum carried into the second half, as the Pirates cut UMES' lead to one on three separate occasions before taking their first lead of the night on a Johnson layup with 15:12 left – putting Hampton up 36-35.
Johnson then hit a trey to put the Pirates up 39-35 at the 13:32 mark.
Johnson added a layup with 13:14 remaining to give the Pirates a 41-37 lead, before UMES went on a 10-1 run to take a 47-42 lead with 10:39 left to play after a dunk from Elliott. Elliott later gave the UMES a 53-48 lead at the 6:29 mark with a free throw.
After a pair of Martin free throws gave the Hawks a 55-50 lead, the Pirates went on a 7-0 spurt, taking a 57-55 lead with 3:13 left to play after a jumper from Powers.
Red Weasel Media was sitting on the baseline to capture all of the high flying action. Go Pirates!

PICATINNY ARSENAL, N.J. - Kori Phillips (left), a U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) systems management engineer, shows Gabriel Camarillo, Principal Deputy, Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology), the Lightweight Small Arms Technologies program's lightweight machine gun during a tour of Picatinny Feb. 26.
In development at Picatinny, in conjunction with AAI Textron, the system was designed to maximize reductions in Soldier load. It could reduce the weight of small arms ammunition by nearly 40 percent and provide a potential replacement for the SAW that weighs half as much as the current M249.
"When you work together as seamlessly as they do here at Picatinny you can accomplish great things," said Camarillo during the visit. "What I was impressed by was how closely the PEOs (Program Executive Offices) and PMs (Project Managers) work hand-in-hand with ARDEC – and obviously with DCMA (Defense Contract Management Agency) and the contracting folks, everybody who’s here, really -- works very closely, along with industry to accomplish great things for our Warfighters."

The Art Center Cooperative, the Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT), the Cathedral Arts Project, St. Johns Riverkeeper, Duval County Public Schools and Comcast have developed and sponsored the River Art Mentorship Program — educationally based, maritime-themed art workshops for select Duval County Public School (DCPS) middle school students.
The program’s purpose is to provide creatively gifted students the opportunity to continue practicing art, while expanding their knowledge of the region’s greatest asset, the St. Johns River. The program partners agree it is important to foster the growth of young artists through imagination and discovery.
Mary Atwood of The Art Center Cooperative explains the organization’s interest in creating the River Art Mentorship Program. “As part of The Art Center’s ongoing mission to bring art opportunities to underserved children, it is our pleasure to team up with these outstanding organizations to host the River Art Mentorship program. We hope by combining academic and artistic experiences, we can help motivate the participating students to reach for success in the classroom as well as inspire them to further explore and expand their own creative abilities.”
Sessions began with a river tour and continued with workshops focusing on painting, print making, These workshops, held at The Art Center at 229 North Hogan Street, were offered at no charge to the students. Funding is received through a grant from Target and in-kind donations from supporters. The students were encouraged to produce works of art which reflect both the industrial and natural beauty of the St. Johns River.

Eighth-grader Alexius Pierce made the go-ahead layup in the game's last minute, and junior Diamonne Harris hit four straight free throws in the final 10 seconds as the Syracuse Academy of Science held off Allegany-Limestone, 55-50, in a Class C girls basketball state semifinal at Hudson Valley Community College.
The Section III-champion Atoms (20-4) will play in the 8-year-old program's first state final at 4 p.m. Saturday against Section IX champion Millbrook.
"It feels unbelievable," said Harris, who led all scorers with 20 points. "We worked so hard - day after day - it was all worth it. It feels so good."
"We just willed our way (to the win), said senior leader Lyrik Jackson, who scored 14 points, grabbed eight rebounds and made five steals for the Atoms. "Coach said keep pushing. We didn't want to go home."
SAS, which trailed by six points at the half (32-26) sparked its second-half offense with a pressing defense that forced Allegany-Limestone into 22 turnovers and yielded a dozen steals.
The #SASAtoms also held Gators' star senior center Morgan Davis to 14 points, about five below her season's average. Morgan only had six in the second half.
"Amazing. Just amazing," said #SASCS head coach Reggie Pickard. "I'm still kind of dreaming - like are we here or not, you know? We're doing everything possible to win a championship. We've worked hard for eight years, and here we are."
The Atoms trailed by as many as eight points late in the second quarter but caught the Gators just two minutes into the third using a press that started paying off in turnovers.
"Our pressure has been the key for us all year," Pickard said. "We force turnovers, make the game kind of ugly.
I thought if we pressured a little more in the second half it would harder for them to get the ball to their bigs."
Allegany-Limestone, from Section VI near Olean, still led by two at the start of the fourth quarter, but SAS sophomore Xyel Bradford's 3-pointer put the Atoms ahead, 41-40, with just under 7 minutes left. Pierce hit another huge three with 2:30 left to play that gave SAS a 47-46 advantage.
But the Gators continued to make big baskets, too, and Allegany-Limestone had a 50-49 lead, and the ball, with just under a minute left to play.
On the in-bounds play, Harris dove for a steal and somehow got the ball to Pierce, who drove in for what would turn out to be the winning points, making it 51-50, Atoms.
The Gators began fouling, but Harris proved worthy against the pressure, hitting two sets for free throws in the final eight seconds.
"It was very nerve-wracking, but we do this all of the time in practice," she said. "I have to stay calm."
Allegany-Limestone coach Frank Martin said his team just couldn't quite hold it together in the final minutes against the SAS quickness.
"I'd love to have the last minute and a half back," he said. "We weren't as good as we needed to be to close this game out. We just weren't as good as we needed to be at the end."
The Atoms had a scare in the final seconds when Jackson took a shot to her head when she went down chasing a loose ball and an Allegany-Limestone player fell on top of her. She had to be helped off the court but was up and talking in the aftermath.
Harris said she hoped to go swimming in the hotel pool later in the day, but her coach wasn't hearing it.
No, no. We're not going to do any swimming," he said, laughing. "Too much muscle movement. They got mad at me last night because I took their phones from them. I'm doing that again tonight, too."

Wildland Firefighters on Rappel capable crews, come from all over the nation each spring to train at the National Helicopter Rappel Program’s Rappel Academy at Salmon AirBase, in Salmon, Idaho.
Wildland fire aircraft play a critical role in supporting firefighters on wildland fires. Helicopters also deliver aerial crews called Heli-Rappellers to wildland fires. These are specially trained firefighters that rappel from helicopters in order to effectively and quickly respond to fires in remote terrain.
Heli-Rappellers may land near a wildfire but if there is no landing zone close by they can utilize their skills to rappel from the hoovering helicopter. Once on the ground, crews build firelines using hand tools, chainsaws, and other firefighting tools. Forest Service photo by Charity Parks.

The launch vehicle's first stage is a single, five-segment reusable solid rocket booster, derived from the Space Shuttle Program's four-segment reusable solid rocket booster, which burns a specifically formulated and shaped solid propellant called polybutadiene acrylonitrile (PBAN). A newly designed forward adapter will mate the vehicle's first stage to the second, and will be equipped with booster separation motors to disconnect the stages during ascent.
