Place names on the Isle of Lewis in Outer Hebrides reflect a shared past over centuries between Gallic-speaking Scots, Norse and latecomers from the south. Each evokes weather forecasts of old on crackling Radio 4 signals: Arnol, Ballantrushal, Barvas, Shawbost, Dalbeg and Branahuie, Newmarket, and Plasterfield.
Today, much of the conversation on Lewis is filled with talk of independence. Last week, 250 neighbours gathered in Stornoway, the capital, for a debate hosted by the local Gazette newspaper. Ninety-nine voted Yes; ninety-nine voted No. Five were undecided, and the rest did not bother to vote, says one local.
For many in Lewis and the other islands in the Western Isles, along with Orkney and Shetland, the referendum has offered the chance to press for devolution not just from London but from Edinburgh.
But the trend has, if anything, gone the other way under the Scottish National Party. European Union funds are now distributed by Edinburgh rather than Inverness. Fire brigades and ambulance services have merged. And the merger of Scotlands police forces has been deeply unpopular in the Highlands and Islands particularly the decision by Chief Constable Stephen House to routinely have armed police on the streets.
Last year, Scotlands islands which are all remote, although Shetland is blessed with oil riches produced a report, Our Islands, Our Future, which pressed for extra powers.
In June, the Scottish government offered the islands control of all income from leasing the seabed for wind farms, piers, etc money that currently goes to the crown estate.
The Edinburgh government has pledged that control of planning out to 12 nautical miles would be devolved to local partnerships, with the island councils playing a role.

People over 50 say their top retirement financial worry is health-care costs, a survey, out Friday, shows.
But only 15% of pre-retirees have tried to figure out how much money they might need for health care and long-term care in retirement, according to the survey of 3,300 people, ages 25 and older, conducted by Merrill Lynch in partnership with Age Wave, a research think-tank on aging issues.
It's no wonder people are worried. Another report estimated that out-of-pocket health-care costs in retirement may equal $318,800 if retirement lasts 30 years; $220,600 for 25 years; $146,400 for 20 years; $91,200 for 15 years; $50,900, 10 years. These estimates do not include the cost of long-term care.
"People are quite enthusiastic about the chance of living a longer life, yet at the same time there is mounting worry about the cost of health care in retirement, and very few people have sat down and figured out what that will be," says gerontologist Ken Dychtwald, CEO of Age Wave.

Financial planning for retirement needs to include health-care costs, says David Tyrie, head of retirement for Bank of America Merrill Lynch. People should realize that "investing in your health could have the biggest impact on your wealth."
When it comes to their greatest health worries in retirement, 63% of those 50 and older say not being able to afford health care and long-term care expenses; 39%, side effects of multiple medications; 37%, not being able to manage chronic pain; 34%, not finding doctors who can effectively meet their needs as they grow older.
Health tops wealth when it comes to a happy retirement, the survey found. Most retirees say having good health is the most important ingredient for a happy retirement, followed by financial security, having loving family/friends and having purpose.

The survey also showed that more than half (55%) of retirees retired earlier than they had expected; 38% retired when they expected; 7% later than they expected. The main reasons people gave for early retirement: personal health problems, followed by job loss.

WINTER HAVEN | Central Florida Health Care, which has clinics throughout Polk County, is getting $301,974 in Affordable Care Act funding to expand its primary care.
The nonprofit health center is one of 48 statewide that will get part of $13,432,990 that is to help add employees, add longer hours and add new services, such as behavioral health and vision care.
Another is Suncoast Community Health Centers in Ruskin, which partners with Lakeland OB-GYN on obstetric and gynecology care. Midwives with Lakeland OB-GYN became Suncoast employees under a 2012 agreement.
Suncoast will receive $352,036, according to an announcement Friday by Sylvia M. Burwell, secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Central Florida also is the group that Polk's Citizens HealthCare Oversight Committee said Thursday should get $500,000, with a 10 percent contingency, to offer affordable dental care in Winter Haven. That would be from Polk's indigent-care program.
The federal money being given Central Florida and other health centers will let them reach about 69,144 new patients in Florida, Burwell said. In addition to treating patients, health centers are active in helping uninsured people find insurance under the Affordable Care Act.

Newswise PHILADELPHIA Using a zebrafish model of a human genetic disease called neurofibromatosis (NF1), a team from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania has found that the learning and memory components of the disorder are distinct features that will likely need different treatment approaches. They published their results this month in Cell Reports.
NF1 is one of the most common inherited neurological disorders, affecting about one in 3,000 people. It is characterized by tumors, attention deficits, and learning problems. Most people with NF1 have symptoms before the age of 10. Therapies target Ras, a protein family that guides cell proliferation. The NF1 gene encodes neurofibromin, a very large protein with a small domain involved in Ras regulation.
Unexpectedly, the Penn team showed that some of the behavioral defects in mutant fish are not related to abnormal Ras, but can be corrected by drugs that affect another signaling pathway controlled by the small molecule cAMP. They used the zebrafish model of NF1 to show that memory defects such as the recall of a learned task -- can be corrected by drugs that target Ras, while learning deficits are corrected by modulation of the cAMP pathway. Overall, the teams results have implications for potential therapies in people with NF1.
We now know that learning and memory defects in NF1 are distinct and potentially amenable to drug therapy, says co-senior author Jon Epstein, MD, chair of the department of Cell and Developmental Biology. Our data convincingly show that memory defects in mutant fish are due to abnormal Ras activity, but learning defects are completely unaffected by modulation of these pathways. Rather these deficits are corrected with medicines that modulate cAMP.
Over the last 20 years, zebrafish have become great models for studying development and disease. Like humans, zebrafish are vertebrates, and most of the genes required for normal embryonic development in zebrafish are also present in humans. When incorrectly regulated, these same genes often cause tumor formation and metastatic cancers.
Zebrafish have also become an ideal model for studying vertebrate neuroscience and behavior. In fact, co-senior author Michael Granato, PhD, professor of Cell and Developmental Biology, has developed the first high-throughput behavioral assays that measure learning and memory in fish. For example, Granato explains, normal fish startle with changes in noise and light level by bending and swimming away from the annoying stimuli and do eventually habituate, that is get used to the alternations in their environment. But, NF1 fish mutants fail to habituate. However, after adding cAMP to their water, they do learn, and then behave like the non-mutant fish.
This clearly indicates that learning deficits in the NF1 mutant fish are corrected by adding various substances that boost cAMP signaling. Our data also indicate that learning and memory defects are reversible with acute pharmacologic treatments and are therefore not hard-wired, as might be expected for a defect in the development of nerves, says Epstein. This offers great hope for therapeutic intervention for NF1 patients.
Co-first authors Marc A. Wolman and Eric D. de Groh, Sean M. McBride, and Thomas A. Jongens, all from Penn, were also on the paper.

Ethereum, the law, contracts and personal freedom - Presentation and Panel - Video

Battlefield junior Brett Reid is the last child remaining at his parents home in Haymarket. His four older siblings have moved on, with Reids sister Samantha studying at the University of Tampa and another sister currently enrolled in graduate school.
Now, hes home all by himself, Sherry Reid, his mother, said.
In the second quarter of Battlefields 31-6 win over Freedom (2-1), Reid again found himself all alone as he jumped a slant pattern to secure an interception which he nearly returned for a touchdown the first of four by the Bobcats . Senior Josh Newman and juniors Parker Baddley and Zach Stein also recorded interceptions.
As Freedom quarterback Johnny White and the Eagles offense sputtered on their opening drives of the first quarter, taunts from the Battlefield student section increased in volume.
Youre not Gallagher, they chanted after each Eagles incomplete pass or negative play.
But based on the recent performance of the aforementioned Battlefield senior quarterback Matt Gallagher, White shouldnt take that as an insult few area quarterbacks are playing like Gallagher right now. On the first play from scrimmage, the senior faked a handoff to Sam Drzal out of a shotgun formation before lofting a 64-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open Zac Kerxton to give Battlefield a 7-0 lead.
Matt [Gallagher] always comes out of the gate, on fire, A-plus every time, especially in the first quarter, said senior wide receiver Matt Scott, who caught five passes for 69 yards. But we need to keep it going in the second and third quarters. Thats how were going to be successful.
Freedom scored its only touchdown when senior Jonathan Williams heaved an 80-yard bomb to senior Quentin Wallace off a reverse on the first play of the third quarter. In the postgame huddle, Bobcats Coach Mark Cox praised what he saw as a total team effort, which saw five different players score and many more contribute big plays.
Why arent you more excited? he asked the group. Im excited.

Freedom senior Joe Santos sprinted through a huge hole created by the left side of his offensive line and into the end zone.
The touchdown run Santos' third of the contest came with 2:38 remaining in Friday night's Eastern Pennsylvania Conference football game, and it was a power play that perfectly capped the Patriots' dominant second-half performance.
Freedom, indeed, made a statement with its third straight win to start the season. This one was a 35-14 road triumph over Emmaus.
"Let's face it," Freedom coach Jason Roeder said, "there were a lot of question marks about our team even after the 2-0 start. And I'm definitely not saying we answered them all, but it was an opportunity for us to prove ourselves, and I think we did that."
After beating East Stroudsburg South and Nazareth by a combined 102-41 in their first two games, Roeder's Patriots outscored an Emmaus team that was picked in the preseason as a contender in the EPC's South Division by 21-0 in the second half.
They did it with a ball-control offense and by corralling the Green Hornets' explosive Wyl Miller on defense.
Miller, who went for 130 rushing yards and an 85-yard touchdown in the opening half, was limited to 35 yards after intermission. Freedom held Emmaus without a second-half first down until less than a minute remained.
"We just wanted to come out and play tougher," Patriots sophomore linebacker Brady Hornbaker said. "Our coaches made a couple adjustments but it was all about playing Freedom football. Stop the run. Stop the run. That was the big adjustment. We did a much better job at it in the second half."
Tied at 14, the Patriots emerged from the locker room and immediately seized control of the third quarter.
Jake Young's 36-yard kickoff return set up Freedom at midfield. A 14-yard pass play from sophomore quarterback Joe Young a first-year starter who continues to play well to wideout Alkiohn Dunkins on third-and-8 keyed the drive. The Patriots capped it as Young threw a quick pass out to Dunkins, who cut upfield and went 20 yards along the Patriots' sideline for the touchdown.
