Mastrangelo and his team have identified a number of kinks to work out before they hit the market, which will ideally happen within the next three years, he says.

China on Sunday said it was investigating Interpol's President Meng Hongwei, who went missing in September, over “suspected law violations”. The international police agency then announced it had received Meng's resignation.
Chicago police investigate a house in the 900 block of West 59th Street in the Englewood neighborhood where nine children were removed and taken to Comer Children's Hospital for observation, March 5, 2017.
Nine children ranging in age from infant to teenager were found unattended in a dirty Englewood home Sunday and hospitalized as a precaution, according to fire and police officials.
Chicago police officers responded to the home in the 900 block of West 59th Street about 12:50 p.m. after receiving a call about children left alone, police said.
The Chicago Fire Department assisted, said spokesman Larry Langford, who described the home as "unkempt and dirty" and lacking heat and food.
"The police department took the kids into protective custody, and as part of that we transferred them to Comer (Children's Hospital) to be checked out," he said.
None of the children showed signs of injury, and they were taken to the hospital in an abundance of caution, Langford said.
The youngest child was determined to be an infant, he said. Officials are working to determine the age of the oldest child, who they believe is a teenager.
Two women, who identified themselves as mothers of the children, arrived at the home after authorities arrived, Langford said. The women accompanied the children to the hospital.
Officers contacted the Department of Children and Family Services, police said. It's unclear whether the children will remain in the women's custody.
A man who identifies himself as a Russian soldier may have inadvertently taken two damning selfies.
Alexander Sotkin posted two photos of himself to Instagram from within Ukraine -- one on June 30 and another on July 5. BuzzFeed first reported the story.
Although it's an open secret that Russian soldiers are assisting Ukrainian nationals who are rebelling against the Ukrainian government, the Russian army denies that its troops have crossed the border.
A spokesman for the Russian Embassy said the government does not "make any decisions" or "come to conclusions" based on the social media posts. But the spokesman pointed to a news article in Russia's Life News that claimed the photos were forgeries and the locations of the selfies were falsified.
CNN cannot independently confirm his identity.
Sotkin's Facebook (FB) profile describes his role as an instructor at the department of radio communications. He has been active on social networks for months while on duty. His colorful Instagram feed features pictures of himself eating a watermelon. posing with other soldiers and wearing a gas mask.
Another recent selfie caption: "sitting around, working on a buk, listening to music, basically a good sunday"
Sotkin may have been unaware that an Instagram feature called "Photo Map" was turned on when he took the photos. The feature tracks and visualizes when and where users post Instagram shots. Photo Map uses GPS to determine its users' locations, a tool that is generally accurate with 50 feet or so.
The location of his Instagram photos suggests he has been stationed on the Russia/Ukraine border since June 23. He posted 34 photos during that span -- 32 on the Russian side of the border and two on the Ukrainian side. The photos of Sotkin on the Ukrainian side were taken several miles across the border.
AMHERST — A newly released report on one of the University of Massachusetts’ most prestigious departments — Polymer Science and Engineering — has found “conduct antagonistic toward women,” uncivil behavior toward staff, and communication and leadership problems.
Tricia Serio, dean of the College of Natural Sciences, and Bryan Coughlin, department chairman, commissioned the “climate assessment” report after several sexual-misconduct complaints involving Polymer Science and Engineering, or PSE, faculty were filed with the university’s Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity. S...
Serio declined an interview request from the Gazette, but in a statement she called the report a “pro-active first step.” The communications chairwoman from the UMass Amherst organization Graduate Women in Stem, or GWIS, praised the effort but said the report overlooked some important concerns.
For nearly seven months, the Gazette has pressured the university for the release of documents related to the sexual misconduct complaints that spurred the commissioning of the climate survey, and complaints against one person in particular. The Gazette also requested information about any disciplinary actions taken in...
As of Thursday, the Gazette had received and appealed two denials from the university. In response to the university’s denials, the Public Records Division of the secretary of state’s office has twice ordered UMass Amherst to turn over the records or some portion thereof.
The Gazette has again appealed to the Public Records Division and is awaiting a response.
In her statement, Serio cited a National Academy of Science report that found sexual harassment in STEM fields — science, technology, engineering and math — limits the advancement of those disciplines nationwide. That report called for sweeping reforms in academia to address the problem.
Christie Ellis, the communications chairwoman for GWIS, said that caveat may have prevented some interviewees from being entirely candid with Sepler and Associates.
Ellis was referring to a section of the report’s executive summary that describes the extent of problematic behavior toward women, which she said doesn’t match the concerns that GWIS members have raised.
“We found that most of those concerns have been circulated and amplified by individuals without firsthand knowledge, and in many cases were exaggerated,” the report says.
The report gives several instances of sexist behavior in the department, where only three of 25 total faculty members are women.
The report also found a “surprising lack of deep interest in or comprehension of the challenges for women in STEM” among faculty.
Relating to the department’s structure, the report concluded that there is a highly individualistic culture in the department, where students and faculty can often operate in isolation within their respective research groups. That can result in faculty being unaware of the more general climate of the department, the re...
“Another way to look at this phenomenon is that most of the faculty individually are not attentive to problematic behavior in their peer group, and the faculty as a group has failed to foster a collective responsibility for the resulting departmental climate,” the report reads.
The current hierarchy has given some faculty “a degree of privilege that results in impunity for conduct ranging from arrogance to incivility,” the report concludes.
The report also criticizes departmental support for students with concerns about their mental health, for first-year students, and for students and staff in the department who feel mistreated. That lack of support is contrasted with “impressive” support for graduate students in their final years in the department, the ...
Among the report’s final recommendations are that the whole department receive training on implicit bias, microaggressions and civility, and that the training include strategies for peer or active bystander training.
Other recommendations call on the department to take several steps: to form a committee to examine and address the departmental climate, to develop an internal process to address disruptive conduct, to consider increasing student support resources, and to form a joint faculty-student committee to examine improvements t...
Ellis, of GWIS, lauded the idea of bringing in an outside firm to get their perspective. But she questioned why the report’s recommendations consisted mostly of initiatives for the department itself to undertake, when the same report also identified that the department has a substantial lack of awareness of its own int...

PHILADELPHIA (AP) The Philadelphia Eagles have hired former Cleveland Browns executive Andrew Berry as vice president of football operations.
Berry worked three seasons with the Browns after seven years in Indianapolis and helped lead talent evaluation and scouting. His role had diminished under new general manager John Dorsey, who brought in Eliot Wolf and Alonzo Highsmith from Green Bay.
Berry worked under Sashi Berry, who was fired and replaced by Dorsey. The Browns were 1-31 in 2016-17 before going 7-8-1 last season.
Berry was part of the search committee that recently hired new Browns coach Freddie Kitchens. During Berry's time with the Colts, the team won four AFC South titles and made the Super Bowl.
The Eagles made several coaching changes, promoting Phillip Daniels to defensive line coach and Carson Walch to wide receivers coach. Mike Bartrum was hired as assistant tight ends coach. Matthew Harper was named assistant wide receivers coach.
Roy Istvan is assistant offensive line coach. T.J. Paganetti is assistant running backs coach. Luke Thompson is assistant special teams coach. Matt Burke is defensive special assistant. G.J. Kinne leads offensive special projects and Joe Pannunzio is director of team development.
Other staff changes: Greg Delimitros was promoted to vice president of equipment operations, Patrick Dolan was promoted to vice president of football technology, Jon Ferrari was promoted to vice president of football operations and compliance and Jeremiah Washburn was hired as advanced projects coordinator.
Israelis Love to Hate Tel Aviv - but Does It Really Deserve It?
Israel’s largest city has been accused of being too left-wing, secular and expensive. But is it really that different than the rest of the country?
The Punch Heard ‘Round the College Football World was back in the news earlier this week, courtesy of LeGarrette Blount going Marvin Hagler on one of his Tennessee Titans (helmeted) teammates after the final play of a training camp practice.
While that may have been the first time Blount went swinging at the professional level, his right jab to the jaw of Boise State linebacker Byron Hout wasn’t the first time he took a swing at the collegiate level.
Two of Blount’s Oregon teammates and a former Ducks assistant coach relayed to John Canzano of The Oregonian an incident that happened two years ago involving Blount, his fists and his temper, an incident that’s never been reported until now.
Two football seasons ago. Closed practice. Autzen Stadium. Running back LeGarrette Blount was carrying the football on a play that swung wide when he was met by two University of Oregon defenders.
Defensive back Jairus Byrd and linebacker Jerome Boyd grabbed Blount and shoved him toward the sideline. A scuffle broke out, facemasks were grabbed, bodies tangled and then Ducks head coach Mike Bellotti hurried toward the mess, trying to break up the players.
It missed Byrd and Boyd, but caught the side of Bellotti’s face — square.
So, yeah, good luck with this “rehabilitated” running back you have on your hands, Coach Fisher. If people like Tony Dungy say it’s all good, then by God it’s all good, though. But, just in case, wear a helmet.
