Club FROMPAGE1 NASA Ames Research Center Scientist Mike Kubo introduced the stu- dents and gave their cer- tificate of completion of the program with Cron- well. The students thanked both of them for their sup- port and encouragement throughout the program. First year intern ju- nior Neil Leslie said he enjoyed working with the scientists, who taught him about the different meth- ods of higher, college-level thinking. Leslie said he would like to study simi- lar subjects when he goes to college. Michael Sartori, an- other first year intern and junior, said he enjoyed the research aspect of the pro- gram and would be study- ing astrobiology or related fields while in college due to his experience in the in- ternship program. "I enjoyed going out into the real world and apply what we've learn so far in science to research," Sar- tori said. "(The program) was a really cool experience, overall," Sartori said. Some of the goals of the program, which has been offered as a class in recent years, are to bring a dy- namic, hands-on astrobi- ology learning to the high school student interns who are beginning to focus on their career path. Dave Michael, a sci- ence instructor and Las- sen mentor who has been with the program for nine years, said he has a unique perspective, getting to see the students interact with each other and grow and learn while doing re- search in the field and in the classroom. "This program has al- lowed our students to do amazing and incredible things, all while getting a high-quality college level experience," Michael said. The students who par- ticipated in the program this year included Adam Swarthout, Allyson Drury, Natalie Brown, Nero Dot- son, Taylor Nguyen, Con- ner Sousa, Abee Sabo, Ash- ton Smith, Broc Jones, Dax Wagner, Dylan Robinson, Gloria Abbate, Hannah Huhn, Jordan Munoz, Ju- lia Zumalt, Michael Sar- tori, Neil Leslie, James Chrasta, Kiana Cruise, Naomi Renfroe and Victo- ria Yates.

"There is no mystery," he said. The plaintiffs have ar- gued that more than $1 billion was at stake for each of them, citing all federal funds they receive for a variety of programs and services. Sarah Eisenberg, a deputy city attorney in San Francisco, disputed Readler's claim, saying the city has money at stake. Readler's comments about the money ap- peared to catch U.S. Dis- trict Judge William Or- rick by surprise. Orrick then questioned the point of the president's executive order. The administration was using a "bully pulpit" to highlight an issue it cares deeply about, Readler re- sponded. John Keker, an attorney for Santa Clara County, re- jected Readler's interpre- tation and said the or- der referred to all fed- eral funds now received by local governments that don't detain immigrants for possible deportation when they are due for re- lease from jail. "They've come up with a further interpretation," Keker said. "It won't wash." San Francisco and Santa Clara County have asked for a court order blocking the Trump ad- ministration from cutting off funds to any sanctuary cities. Orrick did not im- mediately issue a ruling after Friday's hearing. Readler said the request was premature because de- cisions about withholding funds and what jurisdic- tions qualify as sanctuary cities have yet to be made. Order FROM PAGE 1 PHOTOSBYJULIEZEEB—DAILYNEWS A girl checks her egg to see if it survived the drop cushioned inside a big box on Friday at Lassen View Elementary School where the annual Egg Drop Challenge was held. Lassen View Elementary School Superintendent Jerry Walker and a student celebrate that her egg landed safely in the annual Egg Drop Challenge held Friday. we opened it to the whole school for the first time." In addition to several classes attending the event, there were parents and Su- perintendent and Principal Jerry Walker, who came to see which egg safe hous- ings kept the eggs from splattering. Walker said he was impressed with all the fun, awesome activities Fox comes up with for her stu- dents. "The students get to do some engineering," Fox said. "Some have flour in it, others have balloons tied to it and all types of materi- als were used. The idea is to have the egg dropped from a great height and have the egg land safely from the plunge of doom." One girl had help from her father in coming up with a structure of red bal- loons, which was in turn supported by straws put to- gether inside the grouping of balloons, she said. Her egg was one of the lucky ones that landed safely. Those whose eggs survived got to smash them them- selves on the tarp put down to catch the eggs that did not make it. Eggs were sent down in a Kleenex box, a huge cardboard box, an Eas- ter egg basket with an im- provised parachute and even in a Ziploc bag filled with marshmallows, all of them surviving. Eggs tak- ing a ride down in a Nerf football duck-taped to- gether sent yolk flying ev- erywhere, and some of the smaller boxes did not make it. Items used to send down eggs included a lunch pail and a structure of straws with no cushioning. "Probably my favorite of all the years was the Jello one in the Tupperware," Fox said. "The Jello and the Tupperware tub landed and went everywhere. Ev- ery single kid was doused in Jello." Challenge FROM PAGE 1 By Nancy Benac The Associated Press WASHINGTON What's wrong with being flexible? He's only human. All pres- idents change their minds. President Donald Trump's voters can be a for- giving lot — up to a point. "He thinks too fast and then makes decisions too fast," says Miriam Naranjo in Miami Lakes, Florida. "He's changing his mind on almost everything he said," says Bob Brown, of South Windsor, Connecti- cut. Naranjo is willing to give Trump more time. Brown is not. The president's recent shifts in position on big foreign policy issues have got his supporters ponder- ing: Are the reversals worth a mere shrug of the shoul- ders, or are they a cause for greater concern. Where critics see a flip- flopper, many Trump voters see the kind of recalibrating that's to be expected from any new president, even more so for the first in his- tory to land in the Oval Of- fice without any govern- ment or military experi- ence. "It's definitely worth keeping an eye on and mak- ing sure he doesn't stray too far from where he cam- paigned," says Christian Ziegler, a marketing pro- fessional from Sarasota, Florida, who served as one of Trump's electors in the state. "I'm not concerned yet." In recent weeks, the pres- ident has gone from label- ing NATO "obsolete" to "no longer obsolete." He's or- dered a cruise missile bom- bardment in Syria after say- ing during the campaign that the U.S. should steer clear of the place. He's de- cided the Export-Import Bank, which he once op- posed, is a good thing af- ter all. And he's done a U- turn on his pledge to label China a currency manipu- lator. Many of those issues were prominent applause lines at candidate Trump's campaign rallies. Now, as he shifts posi- tions, Trump says he's being flexible — and proud of it. For plenty of Trump vot- ers, that's fine, particu- larly when a situation sud- denly arises like the chem- ical weapons attack in Syria that killed more than 80 people and prompted Trump to order airstrikes. "Once someone releases nerve gas on children, you have to do something," says Susan Holly, of Cheyenne, Wyoming. "Nobody can stand around and be black and white," she said. "Everybody makes changes." Some prominent conser- vatives haven't hesitated to criticize Trump's recent ac- tions. Columnist Ann Coulter, writing for Breitbart News, the website once run by White House adviser Steve Bannon, called the presi- dent's Syrian airstrikes an immoral "misadventure" that "violates every promise he ran on and could sink his presidency." 'CHANGING HIS MIND' Voters forgive Trump reversals — to a point By Darlene Superville The Associated Press WASHINGTON The White House said Friday that it will not release logs of vis- itors to the White House, breaking with the prac- tice of President Donald Trump's predecessor. The decision will outrage open-government groups, and possibly spark fresh litigation to try to force the Trump administration to release the information. They see the logs as an im- portant tool for monitoring which individuals or groups may be trying to influence government policy. Trump has been widely criticized for a lack of open- ness for refusing to release his tax returns, breaking with decades of precedent. Senior White House offi- cials cited privacy and na- tional security concerns for the decision not to re- lease the visitor logs. They argued that the decision is in line with what previous administrations have done, except for President Barack Obama's, and that continu- ing Obama's practice of re- leasing the records could in- terfere with policy develop- ment. White House communi- cations director Michael Dubke said Trump has al- ready taken steps to im- prove the ethical climate in Washington, such as imposing new restrictions on lobbying by departing White House officials and opening the White House press briefing room to out- lets that previously didn't have access. He said the "Trump ad- ministration has broken new ground in ensuring our government is both ethical and accessible to the Amer- ican people." After some litigation, the Obama White House began releasing the visitor records late in 2009, Obama's first year in office. White House lawyers also deleted names for na- tional security and other reasons before the logs were made public, meaning the records provided an incom- plete picture of exactly who entered and left the gates of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. As incomplete as the Obama documents were, his administration ultimately released nearly 6 million records. In contrast, the Trump administration's decision to end the practice means that norecordsdocumentingany White House comings and goings will be released on a routine basis while he is in office, though the officials said some information could be released case by case.
