Women's Web came out with another edition of Breaking Barriers - a full day event for women entrepreneurs. This time the emphasis was on 'Marketing Mantras in a Connected World'.
Anju Jayaram, Partner and CMO of Women's Web, set the ball rolling into the day's events with an introduction to the topic . The first discussion was about 'Design Thinking' and what it is all about and how we can incorporate it into our businesses. Vidya Sankarnarayan, the co-founder and partner of Hyerlocl Design Thinking, took us through the various stages of this concept. It was an intriguing and insightful session.
"Design Thinking is a methodology used by designers to solve complex problems, and find desirable solutions for clients. A design mindset is not problem-focused, it's solution focused and action oriented towards creating a preferred future."
This was followed by a session on Market research and outsourcing of your content, which has to be shared on various social media platforms. If you have the money to outsource work, then it helps in giving you more time to concentrate and strategize on other aspects which will help your business grow. This was a panel discussion by Minitha Saxena, Head of Content Product Services, TCS; Niti Jain, co-founder of Qween, and Munni Trivedi the founder of Magenta. Well, this session was helpful to only those whose businesses can involve outsourcing.
Building Resilience in a world of stress by Ambica Saxena, Managing Partner of YSC, was a session I enjoyed the most and it was the most interactive session, as all of us who were present could identify with the problems faced. It was well articulated that 'Resilience' is not about surviving, but about thriving.
Post lunch we had Naveen Bachwani, CEO, Thinkshop.in, speak about Building a personal brand - An entrepreneur's playbook. This again was the emphasis on using the various social media platforms to our optimum benefit, which platform offers maximum results and when to use them or how to prioritize them.
The last session of the day was a panel discussion about what failure has taught us. Moderated by Suman Kher, founder of Soft Skills Studio and the key speakers were Dr. Bhavi Mody, Founder and Director - Health and Wellness and Meeta Sabnis, Co- founder of Talent Terrain. This session was all about how to deal with failures and how to move on. This of course came from the personal experiences.
This was indeed a great endeavor by the Women's Web community to empower women. I will certainly look forward to many more events by them. And it is a place for great networking, as well.


I think it is stupendous that researchers always have curiosity for learning and analyzing models depicting this real world. But, the greatness of getting involved in research activity is that its benefit to others. I believe that every researcher should begin their work with curiosity. And I wonder if they started their work just because political, economics, or just for glory motivation, maybe there is no advance of science and technology today. Researcher is just like an artist, they will reveal their best creation when they work by their deepest heart. A little evidence was the notable Thomas A. Edison. He invented most of his best when he was just inventor, when Edison carved his career as businessman, developed General Electric (GE), finally he realized that he stucked of generating a qualified idea.
My analysis shows that research had decisive role in determining wealth of a nation. We know so well that Europe have showed abundance of interest in research since 15's or 16's century. Begun from that time, European Government launched many policies fostered research activity. Europe realized that research was a paramount policy, and they organized Royal Society of England for facilitating summit of researchers. Europe also realized that researcher deserve for honors, so that they give peculiarities and assurance of wealthy for researcher and scientist. And we know the result that Europe was the best incubator for developing science and technology as the basics for advance of mankind in the next centuries.
Realizing the effect of research, I make hindsight about my country, Indonesia. Many of my well-educated friends, they have little interest on research, it often make me amazed. But, the Indonesian Government that has not a clear grand design of development of science and technology, it is more astonishing me. How can Indonesia reach their dream for being top-class country if we always contingent on foreign invention? As long as the government gives little attention on research, their dream of being wealthy country will never be a goal, just a desire. But, throwing the responsibility just to government is not fair. Then, every citizen that interest and conscious about research, has to start their pace for fostering science and technology.
Being a good researcher will complete a puzzle for collaborating governmental, industrial, and education sector, and improving performance in each sector. Then, researchers also heroes, because they also take significant contribution for advance of their country and advance of whole of this world. I give very high credit for researcher, because they work for others, for this mankind. And I want to be a part of them, make my life more valuable by fostering wealth of other. It is my dream that someday I can adorn this world with advance of science and technology.

Ruling puts the green light into releasing wolves into the wild again
SILVER CITY — The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down a district-court injunction that stopped releases of endangered Mexican gray wolves into the wild in New Mexico on Tuesday.
Ruling puts the green light into releasing wolves into the wild again SILVER CITY — The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down a district-court injunction that stopped releases of endangered Mexican gray wolves into the wild in New Mexico on Tuesday. Check out this story on lcsun-news.com: http://scsun.co/2piEQl7
Sun-News Reports, . Published 2:11 p.m. MT April 25, 2017 | Updated 5:25 p.m. MT April 25, 2017

The Interior Department will ask a Denver-based court on Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2017, to overturn a preliminary injunction that bars the department from releasing more Mexican gray wolves into the wild in New Mexico without that state's approval.(Photo: Jim Clark/U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service via AP)
The ruling, won by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and conservation groups, reinstates the federal agency's authority to release wolves from captivity into the wild despite state objections. The new animals will infuse the wild population with much-needed genetic diversity and help make it self-sustaining.
The unanimous ruling stated that "The [New Mexico Game] Department failed to present sufficient evidence to support a finding that it is likely to suffer irreparable harm absent a preliminary injunction. As a result, the district court abused its discretion in granting the Department's request for injunctive relief. We therefore REVERSE and VACATE the district court's order enjoining Federal Appellants from importing and releasing (1) any Mexican gray wolves into the State without first obtaining the requisite state permits, and (2) any Mexican gray wolf offspring into the State in violation of prior state permits, and REMAND to the district court for further proceedings not inconsistent with this Opinion."
"This ruling is a lifesaver for our beleaguered Mexican gray wolves," said Michael Robinson, a conservation advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity. "The decision makes clear that the Fish and Wildlife Service has the authority to do what's needed to save the Mexican gray wolf and other endangered species from extinction."
Today's ruling overturned an injunction issued last June after the Fish and Wildlife Service "cross-fostered" two captive-born wolf pups into a wild pack's den on the Gila National Forest, defying a New Mexico ban on wolf releases. Release of newborn pups taken from their parents, though experimental, was thought to be less controversial than releasing family packs together, although the latter technique has been used with widespread success. In this instance the pups did not survive, though 3 out of 4 other new-born pups released almost simultaneously into Arizona wolf dens did survive.
Gov. Susana Martinez's administration filed suit and quickly won an injunction on further releases, which was overturned today. The Center and other organizations, represented by Defenders of Wildlife, intervened in the case on the side of the federal government in support of wolf releases.
The Center's 2004 petition for rulemaking, followed by 2006 and 2012 lawsuits, led to a 2015 federal rule providing the Fish and Wildlife Service with the authority to release captive-bred wolves in New Mexico. Previously, only wild-caught wolves could be released ("translocated") into the state. This year the agency intends to release two family groups in the Gila National Forest and up to 10 pups to be cross-fostered into wild wolf dens in Arizona and New Mexico.
"The federal government should now quickly move wolves back into the vast wild areas of the Gila, America's first protected wilderness," said Robinson. "In this elk-filled forest, new wolves could replenish the existing population's genetic diversity. They could also help maintain a natural balance in an era in which, all over the world, ecological processes such as predation are rapidly disappearing."

At last count in January, Arizona and New Mexico supported 113 wolves in the wild. Approximately 30 live in the wild in Mexico. In addition, 251 wolves are held in captivity among 51 zoos and specialized institutions, but most of those are too old or otherwise unsuitable for breeding or release. In the wild and in captivity, pups will be born toward the end of April and early May.
All Mexican gray wolves in the world stem from just seven animals captured from the wild and successfully bred. These animals were the only survivors of a U.S. government trapping and poisoning program carried out from 1915 to 1972 on behalf of the livestock industry, including from 1950 onward in Mexico as a U.S. foreign-aid project.
Those surviving wolves' descendants were reintroduced into Arizona and New Mexico beginning in 1998 and in Mexico beginning in 2011, but U.S. regulations forbade the release of captive-raised wolves — despite approving the release of wild-caught wolves — in New Mexico until promulgation of the 2015 rule.
Scientists have linked faltering reproductive success — small litter sizes and few pups living to maturity — in the reintroduced U.S. population to the loss, including to federal trapping and shooting on behalf of the livestock industry, of genetically important wolves, compounded by the rarity of releases of captive wolves into the wild. Experts have recommended stronger wolf protections in the wild, which the Fish and Wildlife Service refuses, and the releases of genetically-diverse wolves into southwestern New Mexico where there is high-quality but unoccupied wolf habitat — for which today's ruling reinstates authority.

Who doesn't love food? Since the beginning of school year, my friends and I have been excitedly waiting for this year's Chef's Collaborative held at Schartner Family Farm on October 1. Reading the blogs from past years and drooling while clicking on the photos of food at night, we almost made a list of to-eat food at the event. The moment we got off the bus upon arrival, we rushed into the farm and went station to station, smelling the delicious food and seeing all the aesthetic delicacies prepared by chefs from the local well-known restaurants. With the band singing under the tent and the little kids playing near the lake, it felt like a food festival, in which not only people can enjoy a variety tastes of food, but also a good time with friends.
What could be better than starting the month on a Sunday, and with fancy food? As a committed foodie, when the bus finally made its full stop at the Schartner Family Farm, I ran off like I was an invited connoisseur to this fancy party. As soon as I got my set of fork and knife, I began my journey hustling from station to station. On my first stop, I had the marinated mussels from Persimmon; the crispness of the peppermint leaf, the freshness of the mussels, and the tangy sauce mixed together made the dish favorable. Since I had already opened my appetite with a seafood dish, I then tried the smoked fish cake with napa cabbage slaw. I was first attracted by its appearance: a rich piece of fish cake placed on top of a round of cabbages, topped with spicy mayonnaise and sprinkled with paprika. After my first bite, I knew that it was already on the top of my list for the night. The fish cake was fat but not greasy due to the sour taste of the cabbage, and the sauce was right on the nose.
After trying out the seafood and entrees, I decided to try out the desserts. I first went to Eli's Kitchen and tried their amazing Apple Cider donuts with vanilla bean glaze, right out of the oven and drizzled with the glaze right away. I was not a big fan of Monrose Farms apple pie; it might be because the apples were too fresh and generated the tartness in my mouth.
If you are looking for a place to test your diet—welcome aboard! Abbey Culinary Arts was the club that I wished to join ever since freshman year. So after a two-year wait, I could hardly wait when the bus roared into Schartner Farms. At first, I mistook the farm for an average countryside cottage: The ground was covered with gravel and a road hardly existed; the trees grew wild alongside, making me wonder at the presence of hundreds of cars on site. But a sniff of medium-cooked braised lamb dripping juice between two burger buns with spicy pickles conquered all doubts; and yes, it smells as it sounds, if not better.
A long line formed at registration, so I began to trace that magnificent smell. Fortunately and unfortunately, good food all has a common quality—you have to wait for it. So before the main course, I managed to grab some appetizers: Hopkins Southdown's tomato barbecue pulled pork and Winner Winner's harissa chicken wings exceeded my imagination of New England cuisine. But I was still mindful of my plan until I finally took up a braised lamb burger, or maybe two.
Skipping from booth to booth, I would call myself "gluttonous" after I stuffed myself on the second round. But right before I decided to settle down with a cup of maple latte, a glimpse of desserts from Ellie's bakery gathered all my attention and I doubled down on the sweets. Honey chamomile macaroons and apple cherry hand pies were so fresh and delicious that they revived my tired palate.
Culinary Arts Club went into the Schartner Farm through a gap in the hedges, entering into the crowd surrounding the bonfire by the pond. We walked through to one end of the tables. The first dish we tried was Persimmon's mussels. This first bite was one of the best things I've ever tasted. After this, we moved through the tables. I ate oysters, shrimp, chili, lamb barbecue, scallops, and several other dishes. I had already had most of the things we ate, but many of them in interesting combinations. But I did try some new vegetables that I still don't really know what they are and a really strong ginger soda (which sort of burned my throat, but it was still good). Then I sat by the pond as I waited to be able to eat more. When I could, I got back in line for oysters and scallops a few times. I was going to wait to eat dessert, but I saw fresh apple donuts and cider and got them at the same time I had a plate with an oyster.
I can't think of a better way to spend a crisp fall afternoon than at the annual Chef's Collaborative. Set before the picturesque backdrop of Schartner Farms in Exeter, Rhode Island, Chef's Collaborative is a foodie's afternoon in paradise. When you pass through the evergreen wall into the main event, you feel included in a select community of people who appreciate quality. There is not a bad sight, smell, or taste anywhere in the venue. I made my way from end to end, enjoying a lamb slider from the Beehive, Persimmon's marinated mussels, and washing it all down with a nitrous blended cold brew from New Harvest Coffees. I particularly enjoyed the mussels, which artfully combined the smokiness of the mussels and sauce with light and zesty greens.
After a busy weekend, the Culinary Club embarked on a familiar ride over to Schartner Farms for the annual Chefs Collaborative. After stepping off the bus to the smell of sauteed dishes and sight of many people waiting to enter, I knew this was going to be an exceptional event.
The farm—where the event is held—is beautifully positioned behind a lush row of trees with a large pond in the middle. Though my second year in attendance at the event, I experienced many new flavors and satisfying dishes from some of the most well-known restaurants and cafes throughout the greater New England area. I had originally believed that it would be difficult to find some vegan options for myself since a majority of people I saw had meat, cheese or a combination of both in their hands. However, I was very surprised by the selection of vegan cuisines scattered throughout the location. One of these, being my favorite dish as well, were by far the caramel apple squares. These heavenly treats most certainly lived up to their name in flavor and presentation. On the side, warm apple-cider was served, a fun reminder of the changing season. Also, I was greatly pleased to connect my first smell of sauteed food to a presentation of sauteed squash, peppers, potatoes, and cabbage. This dish was wholesome and tasty. After a couple (or more than a couple) of these various dishes, I did notice a familiar face and cafe from last year behind one of the scattered-about tables. He was serving three different types of coffee, my preference being the pure-black shot of coffee.
Heading out to the Chef's Collaborative on a beautiful October Sunday, I honestly had no idea what to expect. But I was promised good food amongst good company, so what more could I ask for? Once our bus pulled up to the little nondescript farm location in Exeter, the walk through the tall hedges led to a culinary and cultural feast for the senses. We were greeted by hordes of people surrounding tables brimming with a tantalizing selection of eats and treats. I stared at the program in overwhelming disbelief, worried that I would not be able to gorge myself with every sample. I embarked on a journey of discovery when it comes to the limits of my stomach, and surprisingly my taste palate as well.
Diving headlong into this festival of food, naturally I sprang for the iced coffee. The New Harvest nitro cold brew offered a refreshing respite for my temporary awe. Just dipping my toes in, I grabbed a honey-chamomile macaron as well. I had never seen such a wide selection of lamb, and I was a fan. Besos Kitchen's lamb sliders and Gracie's lamb shoulder were both delicious, and the rich creamy polenta that I mistook for mashed potatoes paired amazingly with the tender hunk of lamb. Next on the agenda were the White Horse Tavern's BBQ grilled oysters, which were an interesting twist on a New England classic. Being from Cape Cod, I am ashamed to say I have never had a raw oyster. Unfortunately to this day, this still holds true because by the time I had made it to the raw bar they had run out. Nonetheless, I am still determined to try an oyster someday.
Last Sunday, on the 1st of October, the Portsmouth Abbey Culinary Club enjoyed tasting a variety of exquisite and unique foods at the Chef's Collaborative. The event was located behind Schartner Farms, where restaurants from around the state, both known and unknown, came to give the people of the community a taste of their best dishes. They had everything you could imagine, from raw oysters to fresh fried apple donuts. The location of the event and the weather could not have been better either. Being right by a small pond, people crowded the coast and wooden dock to both sit, relax and listen to the live band play all afternoon.
This October 1st was completely different than any other October 1st I have ever had, and that day, the Culinary Arts Club attended the "Chef's Collaborative" event at the Schartner Family Farm in Exeter, RI. Being a new member of the Culinary Arts Club and a lover of food, my heart was full of excitement and high expectations; however, when I first arrived at the farm, my heart stopped. Behind these walls of trees, I saw a brand new world filled with uplifting music played by the local band, delicious fragrances roaming around the field, and of course, the appetizing delicacies provided by the best restaurants from Rhode Island. It was heaven on earth.
Surrounded with pumpkins and trees in the farm, I could feel the autumn in New England is coming. I started my pleasing journey of food at Chef's Collaborative 2017 with marinated mussels. My tongue could feel the freshness of mussels collaborating with marinated onions and crisps on top. The oyster from White Horse Tavern was really impressive with an incredible idea putting BBQ sauce on top of grilled oyster. The warm oyster with heavy but tasty BBQ combined magically.
Grilled cabbage with onions and peppers was also new to me. Back in Korea, I have only seen cabbage in the form of Kimchi with some spicy red pepper sauce. The cabbage from Kingfisher Catering was sour; onions were chopped with cabbage and the sun-dried peppers invoked my appetite. I could feel the genuine texture of cabbage.
I started out toward the farthest tables and figured I could work my way back. Running to the first table I saw, I picked up the closest dish without looking. I scanned for a sign and found one that indicated this was "Cabbage Salad." I had the strong urge to fling it down and run away as my biggest hate in all food is salad. Cabbage and I in particular don't get along. It ruins corned beef dishes for me every St. Patrick's day. Yet I had determined that I would try everything at this event, and so I faithfully open my silverware set and picked up a large bite with my fork. The leafy pieces themselves were quite good but the dressing had a strong flavor that didn't sit well with me. I had a few more bites to see if my aversion was merely shock, to no avail. I passed my plate to Adam who quickly finished it off for me.
Next, I had a mussel dish. Three oblong, orange meaty pieces sat at the bottom of a bowl in a salty marinade, garnished with little leafy bits. Over the summer I had gotten into a seafood mood but cooked mussels had not yet gotten crossed off my list. I think it's the strange color, which had convinced me they would poison me. Despite this, I scooped one up with all the drippy sauce. It was less chewy than I expected and more tender. I did expect the delightful, salty flavor. After this, my pack moved to the lamb sliders. My family occasionally has lamb on holidays so I knew somewhat how it would taste. I was particularly fond of the pulled-apart texture.
I ran into a new dish, which I did not recognize. It was a small circular patty on a pile of slaw. The sign read Chez Paschal's "Fish Cakes." I had never had a fish cake before so I didn't know what to expect besides some sort of fish. Before I could ask too many questions, I popped a bite in my mouth. It had some slaw on the bottom, which I had also never had before. The cake was sort of squishy with an expected fishy flavor. I couldn't place which kind of fish it was but I liked it. I finished the rest of the cake and followed the pack onward towards the next section.
Walking through the music tent, we arrived at a new set of tables. Spotting Mrs. Bonin and Mr. Calisto, we joined them by a tray of White Horse Tavern oysters. To my surprise, the oysters were covered in bits of corn and barbeque sauce. I had never imagined oysters as being consumed any way but plain. It was a seasonal twist on a summery food. I picked one up and found the chef had already loosened it–slurps up! The oyster had a warm flavor and a more meaty texture. I only realized after that they were cooked. The sweet corn and BBQ complimented well with the warm salty juices. With all this salt, drinks were in order. We moved out to search for water. By happy accident, we found a table with flavored seltzer. In my many dislikes, I don't really drink carbonated drinks. They usually make my mouth feel weird and I can never finish them. But these were fruity and in fun glass bottles so, what the heck, I got a grapefruit-flavored bottle. It was so goooood. The bubbles were light and the fruity flavor was refreshing. I was ready for more.
Across from the seltzer stand was New Rivers' raw bar. This I had been excited for. I had a raw oyster once over the summer and quite enjoyed it. To ensure it wasn't a fluke, I grabbed two from the bar. At the urging of those around me, I agreed to test a shrimp and raw scallops. With these, we decided to retire from the standing and head to our picnic blanket. We crossed the treacherous hill of doom (which threatens all those with a swim in the lake) and settled onto the blanket. I squeezed a bit of lemon onto each oyster and loosened it with my knife. The first went down fast and cool. It was just as pleasantly slimy as I remembered. I slurped the next one up. I am definitely an oyster girl. Now I turned to the small shrimp monster. It then occurred to me that the shrimp had a shell and small legs. I had no inclination to eat those and had a feeling you weren't supposed to. Sam sensed that I was lost and shelled it for me, explaining that I did, in fact, only eat the inside. The first bite was different than I thought. The shrimp tore apart delicately and had a light taste. The scallops came next. I've only had them sautéed before but raw was a whole other animal. They were most definitely cold and chewy. They have a dense quality almost like a gummy bear, but of fish. It's more appetizing than it sounds (I promise not to go into sales).
Spencer, what are you eating?

"The eyes are blind, you have to look with the heart. "To enter this world, in Laurent DAVIGNY's universe "Black Angels and other characters", we must look with the heart at this painting which finds its right place between figuration and abstraction. From then on it is possible to notice the importance of the matter, where all the difference lies, by working on the matter he chooses to treat the surface that reminds us of the importance of the supports and their formats. The warm tones used repeatedly in his paintings are a reminder of the colourful atmospheres observed during his travels in Africa. Impregnated with prehistory, rock painting and African soil, traveller and curious, it feeds on the traces of the earth, the struggle of man and the materials of the earth, its colours are those of primitive life: ochre of the earth; deep blue of the night; red of the blood; white of the clouds; black of the ashes; yellow of the sun; ochre red of the laterite of tropical countries. The layers of matter and paints are superimposed until they form strata, comparable to geological strata. The canvas is only finished once it has been reworked in its thickness. Adding and removing the material gives the canvas a particular texture. Glue, scratch, erase, cover, sand, tear. This is the long journey that is nécessaire to emotionally charge each painting. The creation of a painting is a long process, which the artist describes as a struggle. His technique contrasts a raw universe with the smooth, glazed side of the varnish. He uses the glazing technique (transparency) using tissue paper, then comes the successive layers of acrylic glaze and varnish to which he mixes natural pigments or living matter (earth, coal, ash etc.). Each of them is sanded, or left in its raw state. In geometric framings, characters and prints, the first steps of a writing, and monotype screen in colour or black, seem to emerge from memory, permanently recomposed by the gesture of the brush or the material. His work consists of several series with the advantage of highlighting Laurent DAVIGNY's approach and method. We are therefore struck by the strong symbolic present in his paintings, the relationship between monotype and matter, movement and imprint, make his painting a particular art to suggest the figurative in movement integrated into an unreal, more abstract setting.... You have to enter Laurent DAVIGNY's world through several doors, depending on his mood, his culture or his instinct.

New York, NY, June 1, 2015 – Boeing, the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS), Math for America (MƒA), and miniPCR named five finalists in the first ever Genes in Space competition. The innovative contest called for students in grades 7 through 12 to design an experiment to solve a real-life space exploration problem through DNA analysis. The winning experiment will be performed aboard the International Space Station (ISS) using a miniPCR machine.
The five finalist teams will receive mentoring from R&D scientists from Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who will help refine the experiments and make them feasible for space. The teams will present their proposals to a prestigious panel of scientists, educators, and technologists at the ISS Research and Development Conference in Boston, Massachusetts, July 7-9. The winner will be announced at the conclusion of the conference and have their experiment performed 250 miles above the Earth aboard the ISS. Members of the winning team will also be invited to watch the launch of their experiment into orbit.
Boeing, CASIS, MƒA, and miniPCR launched the contest to foster creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking among young innovators bridging the biological and physical sciences. The finalists were chosen from a competitive group of 330 applications from across the country. The proposed experiments cover a wide variety of topics – from the genetic code of alien life to the changes in astronauts' microbiomes before, during, and after a trip to space.
Anna-Sophia Boguraev (16) from Bedford, NY, who aims to test the effect of microgravity and cosmic radiation on the immune system in space. The budding biochemist has loved science since elementary school when she did a science fair project that used a blender to extract DNA from household vegetables.
Jonathan Chang (17) and Thiago Bandeira (16) from Sammamish, WA, who submitted an experiment to test the damage caused to DNA by cosmic radiation using OU-20 bacteria, which can survive on the exterior of the International Space Station. The students propose to expose the bacteria to cosmic radiation, then use the DNA testing technology to analyze changes in its genetic code.
Alyssa Huff (16) from State College, PA, who would like to use PCR on the International Space Station to develop a detection method for extraterrestrial life by testing natural and unnatural genetic material in space. Alyssa has always been interested in pushing scientific boundaries and is captivated by the unknown.
Jaclyn Shuttleworth (16), Jon Hamilton (17), and Sarah Golden (17) from Braintree, MA, whose experiment intends to study the effect of radiation in space on a DNA sample and aims to find possible shielding mechanisms to protect against damage. Jaclyn, Jon, and Sarah hope to combine their love of science and service to become doctors one day.
Tarun Srinivasan (17) from Houston, TX, who designed an experiment to test the compositional changes to the bacteria in an astronaut's body (microbiome) before, during, and after a journey to space. Fascinated by the effects of bacteria on the human body, Tarun previously conducted an experiment to test the impact of exercise on the microbiome.
PCR is a method for making copies of a particular sequence of DNA in order to detect or conduct experiments on that sequence. Since PCR instruments are so complex and expensive, miniPCR created a compact version to make high-level science more accessible to the general population, scientists, and educators. DNA amplification has never been conducted in space before, and the winning proposal from Genes in Space will become one of the first DNA amplification experiments ever to be done outside of the Earth.
"We are so excited to announce the extremely well-qualified finalists for Genes in Space. We are amazed by the sophistication of the proposals and cannot wait to meet these future scientists. These young innovators will open up a new era of DNA exploration in space; this kind of adventure is why we created miniPCR," said Sebastian Kraves, Co-Founder of miniPCR.
The esteemed panel of judges for the Genes in Space competition includes: Ezequiel Alvarez Saavedra, co-founder of miniPCR; Elinor Karlsson, assistant professor, University of Massachusetts Medical School; Uzma Shah, MƒA Master Teacher; Daniel MacArthur, assistant professor at Massachusetts General Hospital; and Gary Ruvkun, professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School.

Home/The Dying Popularity of Grass and Its Wimbledon Champion
The Dying Popularity of Grass and Its Wimbledon Champion
Tan The Man June 22, 2005 2 Comments 85 Views
Wimbledon, the historic tournament at the All England Club, is already upon us and in full swing. The world's favorite player and the one player whom everyone wants to see win one last time withdrew from the tournament a week ago – Andre Agassi is still recovering from the back pains that caused him to lose in the first round of last month's French Open. This is the second year in a row that Agassi has withdrawn from Wimbledon.
The clear favorite to win this year is none other than No. 1 Roger Federer. This man is amazing. His style of play is reminiscent of pre-metal racquet players like John McEnroe and Pete Sampras. It's no wonder why he is so dominant, and it's surprising that more players don't adopt his standard of play. Roger Federer has won this Grand Slam two years in a row, and is looking to three-peat.
The No. 2 Andy Roddick is looking to add a second Grand Slam title to his 2003 U.S. Open crown. His 150+ mph serve works the best on grass, as does his powerful forehand. But he almost refuses to volley, which works the best on this court surface. Just ask Sampras who won this championship a record seven times. The last time a serve-and-volleyer didn't win Wimbledon was 2002 when Lleyton Hewitt dominated the tournament and 1992 before that when Agassi won his first Grand Slam title.
You might be seeing the last of classic serve-and-volleyers with the way that tennis has evolved. Before today's ultra modern aluminum racquets, matches were played with wooden racquets. Volleying was a natural thing to do when balls weren't traveling at 100+. Most of the players on the ATP and the WTA are baseline players who rarely volley. Even a classic baseliner like Agassi was playing against the norm during the early 90s. It's become incredibly difficult to volley shots when the racquets can hit them to serving speeds. McEnroe and Martina Navritalova both called for a return of wooden racquets to professional tennis a few years ago, but to no avail.
England's last great hope for a men's Wimbledon champion is Tim Henman who barely survived his first round match against Jarkko Nieminen by winning in five sets. The last British man to win the championship was Fred Perry in 1936. Tim Henman has reached the Wimbledon semifinals four times, the quarterfinals four times, never reaching the finals and has had overwhelming pressure on him to win the title for his home country for the past decade.
My man Marat Safin is on his way to the second round after his win over former top 25 ranked Paradorn Srichaphan in three sets. Nadal proved in the French Open that there is another man on the tour other than Safin who can beat Federer. But Nadal isn't as strong on grass as he is on clay. And my prediction is this year's Wimbledon title will be Safin's third Grand Slam title. I hope.

Team looks to bring home title at state championship
Conor Walsh, Managing Editor
The cross country teams have been practicing and preparing all year for their meets. Their biggest test of the season came on Oct. 31 in the regional meet at High Point Farm in Clarksburg.
The Patriots faced off against the 24 other Montgomery County public schools. The long season and invitationals and meets prepared the Patriots for their harder end of the season. Junior Eric Carlson said, "We have been working hard all season and pushing ourselves to get in the best possible form for our upcoming meets."
The top seven boys and girls will then go off to represent at the state meet. The seven boys who will be representing the Patriots are senior Scott Sritharan, senior Joe De Jong, junior Teddy Keenan, juniors Jason Wang and David Weiss, sophomore Armaan Salchak, and freshman Tyler Sauvajot.
The seven girls representing the Patriots are seniors Anna Baldwin, Victoria Shumakovich, Alyssa D'Arpa and Jessica Penry, junior Emma Helgeson, freshmen Rebecca Vasconez and Julianne Yao. Science teacher and cross country coach Jacob Buxton said, "The boys' and girls' teams have been trained to be at their best for these two meets. The girls have a really good chance of qualifying for the state meet. For the boys it will be tougher, but if they step up to the challenge they can do it."
The Patriots most recent meet was counties on Oct. 19 where all teams for Montgomery County were present. The girls finished third out of 25 for varsity. The boys ended up finishing ninth out of 25 for varsity.
The invitational meets, including Bull Run invitational and Coyote invitational, have no impact on the team's record. The divisional meets are also not significant, but contribute to their overall record. During these meets the Patriots face off against the teams in their division and the top teams come home with a win in their division. Junior Rebecca Hoerner said, "It has been a successful season. Everybody has improved a lot and we have grown a lot closer as a team.".

As from this week, I'll try to regularly visit the topic of the role media in general and the news industry in particular plays in the American political campaigns and Presidential election of 2008. My focus, as always, will be on the professionals and practitioners (often unpaid volunteers) directly involved in covering the process one way or another, looking at what the news on these issues may tell us about media work and media life.
"Anything reported on the TV news instantly becomes something to be reported on."
Indeed - there is a documented trend of journalists increasingly covering themselves and each other, and this not necessarily to enhance self-critical and deeply reflective perspectives, but rather putting journalists and journalism much more center-stage.
You have all heard about the shrinking soundbyte... But did you ever wonder where all those other seconds of sound went? That's right: directly to the words of the reporters. Journalists and "experts" babbling endlessly among themselves and increasingly about themselves. It makes for cheap content - because no actual reporting is involved.
All of this is especially awkward considering declining ratings and sales figures for the news, as well as regarding the ongoing decline of public trust in most kinds of institutions, and particularly the news industry.
