Luke Aikins becomes 1st skydiver to land without parachute; lands in net in Simi Valley
SIMI VALLEY, Calif. --
Skydiver Luke Aikins has become the first person to jump from a plane into a net on the ground without the benefit of a parachute.Aikins hit the 100-by-100-foot net perfectly, quickly climbed out of it and walked over to hug his wife, who had been watching with other family members.
Just before climbing into a plane to make the jump, Aikins said he had been ordered to wear a parachute but indicated he wouldn't open it.
As the plane was climbing to 25,000 feet above the drop zone he said the requirement had been lifted and he took off the chute.
He fell for about two minutes, then flipped onto his back at the last second and landed perfectly to cheers from those gathered to watch.

Cal Poly Pomona greenhouse breeding sting-less wasps to help save citrus trees
POMONA, Calif. (KABC) --
Researchers are breeding sting-less wasps to help contain the citrus pest population in California.
"Parasitic insects will eat the insects that carry the disease or feed on the insects that carry the disease and minimize the problem in that manner," Cal Poly Pomona professor Valerie Mellano explained.
"Parasitic insects will eat the insects that carry the disease or feed on the insects that carry the disease and minimize the problem in that manner," Cal Poly Pomona professor Valerie Mellano explained.
Scientists are trying to combat the spread of the Asian Citrus Psyllid - the insect responsible for destroying 70 percent of Florida's citrus industry.
The insect feeds on citrus leaves and stems, infecting the trees with a bacteria that causes the plant disease Huanglongbing or HLB.
"HLB can kill citrus within five years depending on the circumstances," Grace Radabaugh of the California Department of Food and Agriculture said.
The university focused on breeding tiny sting-less wasps known as Tamarixia. The wasps feed exclusively on the citrus pest and can go where pesticides cannot.
"There are a lot of people that have citrus trees in their backyards. It's very hard to control with pesticides from the point of view of gaining access," Mellano said.
The greenhouse at Cal Poly Pomona was built strictly to breed the insects in a safe and contained environment.
According to Radabaugh, Tamarixia are being bred in 180 cages at their facility. They plan on releasing approximately 30,000 Tamarixia in Southern California.
Just before she speaks, look what we CAUGHT media doing for Chelsea Clinton but not Ivanka Trump…
I’ll leave the comparing and contrasting of the women themselves to others. But as Chelsea prepares for her big moment in the spotlight, I couldn’t help but notice one — very telling — way in particular that the media are treating these two women dramatically differently. While the lamestream media has been relentless in their grilling of Ivanka about her father’s treatment of women, they haven’t touched the topic with Chelsea Clinton — essentially giving her a free pass. As World Tribune writes, when it comes to Chelsea Clinton and her father Bill, it’s simply don’t ask, don’t tell. The double standard was glaring obvious on July 27 when CBS ran an article
While the media has declared Chelsea off limits, they have swarmed on Ivanka. She “has been grilled by CBS, criticized by the Atlantic and asked by many more outlets to defend her father,” Ashe Schow wrote for the Washington Examiner.
The Cosmopolitan may have come the closest to broaching the subject of Bill Clinton’s notorious treatment of women when it asked Chelsea: “Donald Trump has called your dad an abuser of women, and your mom his enabler. What do you think of his attacks on your parents?” “The phrasing of the question allowed Cosmo to pretend they asked a tough question, while really allowing Chelsea to criticize Donald Trump. And that’s exactly what she did,” Schow wrote. “The obvious reason behind this is that political journalists tend to be extremely liberal. They love Bill Clinton so much, they overlook the serious allegations against him (and his settlement with one of his accusers). So while Chelsea Clinton is allowed to attack Ivanka’s father without consequence, she herself is given a pass on her own father’s actions. “Bill Clinton simply receives special treatment because he has a “D” next to his name. He continues to enjoy broad support from Democrats and is invited to speak at numerous high-profile events and paid lavish speaking fees. No other man accused of rape and sexual assault would be allowed anywhere near a Democratic event,” Schow wrote. The accusations against Bill Clinton are unquestionably far more serious than those against Trump. In Trump’s case, the questions are aimed at Trump’s comments (and potential pay) of women, while in Clinton’s, they involve physical, sexual violence against women. Clinton’s alleged mistreatment of women is exacerbated by the fact that he did some of this, at least, while holding public office. Moreover — particularly relevant when it comes to this presidential election — his wife Hillary Clinton allegedly was her husband’s enabler and did her part to discredit women coming forth against Bill. In fact, as The Daily Caller writes: The media portray Bill Clinton as a lovable scamp, a good ol’ Southern boy who just liked to have sex in the back of his pickup. In fact, according to numerous independent accounts, he was a sexual abuser and, the overwhelming evidence shows, a violent rapist. While we would normally extend our sympathy to his wife, Hillary has forfeited those claims by actively conspiring with him to cover up his sexual assaults and smear the victims, showing absolutely no compunction about destroying women whose stories she knew to be true. Of course, all of this is made that much more sickening by Hillary and her minions’ narrative that we should support her because she is a woman, one who fights for women. Hillary knew what her husband was doing and yet, over and over again, she helped him cover it up and destroy the women, portraying them as stalkers, blackmailers and loons. As one of Bill’s mistresses, former Miss Arkansas Sally Perdue, told the Daily Mail (U.K.), Hillary has a “vengeful, spiteful ugliness … And she’s championing women’s causes?” Shame on the media who are enablers of this real violence against women themselves — perpetuating this narrative of Trump as a misogynist while giving the Clintons a pass. Meanwhile, they will no doubt be gushing tonight about this woman who is “making history” as the first female nominee from a major U.S. party for president. This woman who will tear down and smear women who dare get in her way. What pathetic excuses for journalism. [Note: This article was written by Michelle Jesse, Associate Editor]
