Bill to provide ombud for parents of special education students passes committee
By James Barron, Santa Fe New Mexican | February 16, 2021
State Rep. Liz Thomson spoke from experience Monday as she discussed House Bill 222.
Thomson, a Democratic state representative from Albuquerque, talked about the struggles her family faced in advocating for the special education plans and services her son needed as he attended public school in Albuquerque. Those travails, she told the House Education Committee, led her to craft the bill, which would create an Office of the State Special Education Ombud.
The ombud would serve as an independent advocate for public school students seeking special education services and provide comprehensive support for families navigating that system, according to the bill. Thomson said it was the kind of assistance she and many other parents of special education students needed.
The committee approved the bill 13-0, sending it to the House floor for a vote.
Thomson said parents often battle with district officials over creating individual education plans or providing needed services for their child, with administrators sometimes approving a plan with the explicit instruction not to talk about it with fellow parents. There also are times when plans are denied because of the anticipated cost if other parents request for the same thing, she added.
"That's not how we are we are supposed to educate our children," Thomson said.
The ombud will operate out of the Developmental Disabilities Planning Council, a state government entity that advocates for developmentally disabled individuals and helps coordinate services. Thomson said the council was the best fit for the position because of its intent; the council assisted in the bill's development. Thomson said placing it under the purview of the state Public Education Department would likely work against that goal of advocating for special education students because many families have had an adversarial relationship with the department.
Alice Liu McCoy, executive director of the council, said it receives state and federal funding, plus its members are appointed by the governor. The council, Liu McCoy said, promotes advocacy and systemic change for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families in accordance with the federal Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000.
Liu McCoy added the council's goal is to not take an adversarial tone with school districts or the education department, but to advise parents about their rights and to provide expertise on special education laws.
"We want to make sure we have that expertise there and we are providing the correct information and the comprehensive information to help things," Liu McCoy said.
Thomson emphasized the bill was the result of collaboration with many state agencies, including the Public Education Department, the Governor's Office, the Children, Youth and Families Department as well as the Early Childhood Education and Care Department. PED secretary Ryan Stewart and Elizabeth Groginsky, the Early Childhood Education and Care secretary, both expressed their support of the bill.
Stewart acknowledged the challenges his department and families of special education students have had in the past, but felt the bill could change that relationship.
"We see this as a great opportunity to make sure that families have somewhere they can turn, no matter where they are, no matter what their needs are, to make sure they have the help to navigate the world of special education," Stewart said.
Other parents expressed their support of the bill, noting how sometimes they either needed a lawyer or had to be one themselves to fight for their children.
Angela Chavez-Adkins, a lawyer in Albuquerque, said her son will never lack for legal representation. But she added an ombud can play that role for other parents who cannot afford an attorney.
"This bill would benefit the rest of the children in the public school system," Chavez-Adkins said.

Senate Dems at odds with Native American governments over Senate redistricting
The New Mexico Senate Judiciary Committee voted 7-2 on Sunday to change a bill aimed at redrawing its own Senate districts, despite pleas from numerous Native American pueblos and tribes not to do so. The original proposal, SB 2, adopted a Native American consensus plan that was recommended to the Legislature by the state's Citizen Redistricting Committee to create stronger Native American voting districts. The new version of the bill shifted district boundaries in order to protect six Republican senators from being paired with each other. Senate President Pro Tem Mimi Stewart, D-Albuquerque, who brought the substitute forward, told the committee that the replacement bill was a result of working with Senate Republicans to avoid the pairing of Republicans who represent districts in the western and southeastern parts of the state. "In the Senate, we try very hard to be collaborative and to work as an entire body, not just one party," Stewart said.

[[File:Waywardsistersonset.jpg|350px|right]] ==Wayward History== The [[Wayward Daughters]] Academy was a fan idea for a ''Supernatural'' spin-off that started in April 2015 and has grown into a much larger movement within fandom. At the end of [[9.19 Alex Annie Alexis Ann]], [[Sheriff Jody Mills]] took [[Alex Jones]], a young woman who had been held captive by a nest of [[vampires]], home to live her. Later, in [[10.20 Angel Heart]], [[Claire Novak]] is reunited with her mother [[Amelia Novak]] only to then tragically lose her. Sam, Dean and [[Castiel]], also send her to Jody Mills while she heals. As she leaves she says "This is some sort of halfway house for wayward girls?", and the idea was born among the fandom to have [[Sheriff Donna Hanscum]] and Jody running a home for young women as a spin-off. [http://peter-pantomime.tumblr.com/post/117765097966/ok-but-seriously-can-we-talk-about-how Here's a post on Tumblr by peter-pantomine] which posits the question in a post staring with the line "can we talk about how perfectly sending Claire to Jody sets things up for the best imaginable spin-off?" Two fans, Riley Keshner and Betty Days, set up a Twitter and Tumblr account to promote the idea with a letter writing campaign and petition. It captured the imagination of fans and actors including [[Kim Rhodes]] and [[Briana Buckmaster]]. Presciently, [https://twitter.com/zoewillowsmama/status/593604816791670786 one fan speculated] on "#Jody&DonnasHomeForWaywardGirls with @robertberens as head writer." [http://www.hypable.com/supernatural-claire-novak-wayward-daughters-spinoff/ Riley Krushner said]:
 "I knew we had the numbers and so I put out a call to action through the fandom, and Betty and I created the social media accounts and a petition so that we could funnel everyone's enthusiasm through a central outlet. We called it 'Wayward Daughters Academy.' That was May 1, 2015, the day after "Angel Heart" aired. That day, Kim and Briana both followed us and we discussed with them that we appreciated their support but wouldn't do anything without their consent. They were both on board, and the rest is history."
 The idea of Wayward Daughters expanded to support promoting positive female representation in ''Supernatural'' and other media, and also the idea of fans supporting each other. In December 2015, Kim and Briana ran a campaign through [[Creation Stands]], selling "Wayward Daughters" t-shirts with proceeds going to [[Random Acts]]. As part of the campaign fans posted what the campaign meant to them under the tag #istandwityhwaywarddaughters. As a gift to the fandom, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybcPhVe55jw Briana posted a video of her lipsyncing to Beyonce]. As the campaign broadened, it took on the tagline #WaywardAF and variations like #WaywardStrong and has led to a number of charity [[T-shirt Campaigns]]. [[11.12 Don't You Forget About Me]] gave fans a look at the life Jody Mills, Alex and Claire were building together, and furthered spurred the enthusiasm for a series focusing on these characters. [[12.16 Ladies Drink Free]] focused on Claire who was out hunting on her own, and teams up with the Winchesters to track down a [[werewolf]]. In the preview for the episode by showrunners [[Andrew Dabb]] and [[Bob Singer]], Dabb described Claire as "a fan favorite character, someone we really like" and Singer stated that the episode "very subtly tees up something that we're gonna revisit next year." Jody and Alex reappeared in the episode [[12.22 Who We Are]] -- and survived the season. ==Pilot Announced== On June 20th 2017, [http://deadline.com/2017/06/supernatural-spinoff-wayward-sisters-kim-rhodes-the-cw-backdoor-pilot-season-13-1202116253/ it was announced] that season 13 would feature a backdoor pilot for "Wayward Sisters", a spin-off series that would tell the story of "Sheriff Jody Mills and a group of troubled young women, all of them orphaned by supernatural tragedy. Under Mills' training and protection, the women will emerge as a supreme monster-fighting force." At the time of the announcement only [[Kim Rhodes]] had been confirmed for the episode. The pilot is written by Robert Berens and Andrew Dabb. The spin-off is executive produced by Andrew Dabb, Robert Singer, [[Phil Sgriccia]] and Robert Berens. [http://tvline.com/2017/08/04/supernatural-spinoff-spoilers-wayward-sisters-season-13-episode-10/ In an interview with TVLine], Andrew Dabb said "Wayward Sisters still "very much [has] the same sensibilities, the same driving forces [and] the same core themes, which are family...

 As for why now is the right time to try to once again expand the Supernatural universe, Dabb noted that this particular idea was "something we have been talking about, internally, really since we introduced Claire Novak to the show [in Season 10]." And with Alex living under Jody's roof, the producers thought, "'Oh, this might be a real opportunity to make this happen.'"

 "That was something that simmered for us, and fans really latched onto it in a way we could have never expected, in a really awesome way," Dabb continued. But the creatives had to wait for the show's storylines to align. "Last season, because of the British Men of Letters and Mom, it didn't feel right. This season, it feels right. And the way it's going, as you'll see as you watch the show, it evolves very organically out of the first half of the season… because we have such a high amount of lead time." Further news on the series was released during [[Comic-Con 2017]], [[Kim Rhodes]], [[Briana Buckmaster]], [[Kathryn Newton]] and [[Katherine Ramdeen]] were confirmed for the series along with newcomer, [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5318871/ Clark Backo]. [http://ew.com/tv/2017/10/13/wayward-sisters-supernatural-spin-off/ In an interview] in the Halloween edition of [[Entertainment Weekly]] producer Andrew Dabb said that Wayward features "a much larger support system for the central characters, a key detail for the writers. "What is possible if you have more than just a sibling relationship to guide you through this process," Berens says. "Could it be different? Could it be less psychologically and physically damaging than what we've seen Sam and Dean go through? That's a really core question of the show."" The series was launched through three episodes in Season 13 of ''Supernatural'': [[13.03 Patience ]], [[13.09 The Bad Place]] and [[13.10 Wayward Sisters]]. A new character Patience (played by Clark Backo) -- the estranged granddaughter of psychic and returning character [[Missouri Moseley]] -- was introduced in [[13.03 Patience ]]. [http://deadline.com/2017/07/wayward-sisters-briana-buckmaster-kathryn-newton-katherine-ramdeen-clark-backo-cast-the-cw-spinoff-1202134222/ From the press release of 23/7/2017]: :"[[Patience Turner]], a new member of the Wayward Sisterhood. A high school over-achiever, Patience's life is turned upside down when she discovers she's a powerful psychic, a gift she inherited from her estranged grandmother (and season one Supernatural character) Missouri Moseley. Hunted by dark forces for her power, Patience finds refuge with Jody and her wayward family." On 28/9/2017 [http://ew.com/tv/2017/09/28/supernatural-spin-off-wayward-sisters-yadira-guevara-prip-kaia/ it was announced] that [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5522598/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 Yadira Guevara-Prip] had been cast as [[Kaia Nieves]], who would first appear in [[13.09 The Bad Place]]. The character was described as: :"Having lost her family at a young age. By the time she reached adulthood, she was on her own, completely disconnected from her roots, as she tried to understand a burgeoning gift: In her dreams, Kaia walks between worlds — a rare and terrifying power she experiences only as a curse… a power she doesn't understand and can't yet control. Flinty, sarcastic, and profoundly haunted, Kaia is nevertheless strong and willful as hell — she's had to be to survive this long on her own."'' ==[[13.10 Wayward Sisters|Wayward Sisters]]== The pilot for the Wayward Sisters series was the first episode back in 2018. It had been set up with the introduction of Patience earlier in the season, and the mid-season finale had introduced Kaia, and flung the Winchesters into the Bad Place. Synopsis for the pilot: : When Sam and Dean go missing, Jody Mills calls Claire Novak, the rebellious rogue hunter, and tells her it is time to come home – they need to find the Winchesters. Claire returns and reunites with Alex Jones, who has stayed behind with Jody and tries to balance a "normal" life with being a part time hunter. While Jody is happy to have Claire home again, she's plagued by Patience's disturbing vision involving her adopted daughter. Claire and Alex search for Kaia Nieves, the [[dream walker]] responsible for opening the rift that Sam and Dean went through, as she holds the key to their whereabouts. Jody calls her friend, [[Donna Hanscum]], to round out the team and the women head off on the most important hunt of their lives.
 The episode was directed by [[Phil Sgriccia]] and written by [[Bob Berens]] and [[Andrew Dabb]]. Ahead of the broadcast, [https://deadline.com/2018/01/the-cw-supernatural-future-spinoff-dynasty-changes-valor-fate-sabrina-move-netflix-1202237432/ CW President Mark Pedwotiz said] ""I've seen it, I like it but the fans determine. Nothing is perfect but the real question is whether fans will go watch it if the boys aren't in it. I don't know but it works, the characters work, Kathryn Newton is a real star, the actress who plays Donna (Briana Buckmaster) is hilarious." The pilot for the Wayward Sisters series bought in solid ratings and rated as the second highest scripted show on the [http://www.adweek.com/digital/nielsen-social-content-ratings-011517/ Nielsen Social] ratings. Reviews from media blogs and fans alike were overwhelmingly positive. (Except for the small group of fans who had never liked the concept and resented Sam and Dean not being central to the episode). Fandom was also inspired to art and write by the episode. ==Updates== [[File:Berens tweet 2018-05-11.jpg|thumb|400px|Bob Berens message to fans]] On May 11th it was announced that the CW had chosen not to order Wayward Sisters to series. Creator and writer Bob Berens tweeted the above on the 11th May, followed by Supernatural showrunner Andrew Dabb who said:
 :"It breaks my heart to say this, but CW has chosen to pass on Wayward Sisters. We love these characters, and have spent almost two years trying to make this show a reality on the network... but there are some fights, sometimes, you can't win. I want to thank everyone involved in this entire process, from our fantastic crew, to our amazing cast, and, most of all you. Your passion for this idea fueled us, and we wanted so much to make this happen for you. I'm so sorry we couldn't. But know that these characters will live on. We owe them, and you, and us that. Thank you.
 Kim Rhodes and Briana Buckmaster expressed their sadness and disappointment as did the @WaywardDaughters account, along with other Supernatural cast members. Many pointed out that this had always been, and would continue to be, more than a TV series, it had always been about fighting for diverse female representation in media, as well as women emporwering and supporting each other.
 Fans spent the weeks following the decision protesting and sending feedback to the CW. [https://www.change.org/p/the-cw-save-wayward-sisters An online petition] gathered over 70,000 signatures.

"We're really exited about the five series we did pick up. We are big fans of the characters and the women who played the characters in the series, but we did not feel creatively the show is where we wanted it to be. We felt we had a better shot with Legacies." He added that CW execs were "big fans" of the Wayward actresses "and hope they continue on... guest starring on Supernatural." ==Wayward Continues== [[File:Wayward podcast.jpg|right|300px]] In October 2018, Kim and Brianna announced that they were teaming up to produce the [[Wayward Podcast]]. [https://ew.com/podcasts/2018/10/22/supernatural-kim-rhodes-briana-buckmaster-the-wayward-podcast/ Kim said of the podcast]: : "This podcast is not about Supernatural, it's not about the fandom, it's about our perspective on life as two friends and two women moving through this world. "We're inviting the fans to stop being fans and start being fellows. I really love the fact that this has been inspired by not having a TV show, and we actually don't see it as our consolation prize; we see it as more than a TV show because humanity and connection is so much bigger than a television show, and now we have an opportunity to do that. We have the opportunity to increase what we are, not out of ego, but out of passion for connection and authenticity." ==Storyline Closure== In [[15.12 Galaxy Brain]], [[God]] starts destroying all other universes, commenting at one point about "failed spin-offs," a reference to Wayward Sisters. Writer [[Robert Berens]] [https://twitter.com/robertberens/status/1239766273824710656 tweeted after the episode] "The arc of S1 of Wayward Sisters was always going to be broadly Dark Kaia vs the WaywardSisters, culminating in Kaia's rescue and Dark Kaia's tragic defeat. I always wanted to make that death right. But with limited real estate on #Supernatural I had resigned myself to Kaia just being dead. It was only by embedding it in S15 stories (Chuck, Jack's return to the Bunker, Billie's plan) it felt like it was possible to tie that loose end in a relevant and appropriate way." During the course of the episode, the Winchesters team up with [[Sheriff Jody Mills]] and capture [[Dark Kaia]] who reveals that [[the Bad Place]] is dying and that [[Kaia Nieves]] is still alive and trapped in the other world. With the help of [[Merle]] and [[Jack Kline]], the Winchesters return to the Bad Place and rescue Kaia while Dark Kaia chooses to stay behind and die with her world. At the end of the episode, Kaia accepts an invitation to return to Sioux Falls with Jody. Though only Jody and Kaia appear of the Wayward Sisters cast, [[Alex Jones]] makes a voice cameo at the beginning, talking to Jody on the phone and Claire is stated to be out chasing a false lead on Dark Kaia out of cell phone range during the events of the episode but will be home soon. ==Social Media== '''Cast'''

Soon, you may be able to correct your cell phone's signal problems by spraying on an antenna. Researchers at the military technology firm Chamtech have developed a special aerosol spray that can essentially add an antenna to whatever it's sprayed on and improve the network coverage in the area.
The spray essentially covers a surface with thousands of nanocapacitors. Those nanocapacitors align themselves on the surface, and create a wireless antenna for the devices located in the area. The idea is essentially the nanocapactitors take care of all of the hard work involved in finding a wireless signal, making it easier for your phone or tablet to get connected and stay connected to a network.
The solution could be used on things like buildings and trees to boost the signal for a specific area, or could be sprayed directly on the antenna of a cell phone, a move ChamTech claims would boost the phone's signal by 10 percent.
The company ultimately sees the technology replacing some traditional antennas, eliminating the need for some of the often unsightly towers we use today. Initial tests have the spray-on technology often providing even better signal results than those traditional antennas, often making the spray-on option dramatically more efficient.
You can order a Spray on Antenna Kit now from ChamTech, although the company requires you call for specific pricing for the kit.

Ethanol's Conductivity – How Ethanol Conducts Electricity
Ethanol's conductivity refers to its ability to conduct heat or electricity. Conductivity is also differentiated based on what is being conducted. A substance's ability to conduct heat is called thermal conductivity, whereas its ability to conduct electric current is called electrical conductivity.
Conductivity can be measured in terms of how strongly a material is able to conduct an electric current. Conductivity is represented by the Greek letter or symbol for sigma, but is also sometimes measured using the unit K.
The electricity conductivity of ethanol, however, is not the same as its thermal conductivity. Some substances, such as water and ethanol, are capable of heat transfer although they cannot transmit electricity. The thermal conductivity of ethanol is 0.171 W/m K at 300 K, while water has a thermal conductivity of 0.58 W/m K at a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius.
However, despite the fact that ethanol is now being used as an alternative fuel and its thermal conductivity, the question, "Is ethanol conductive?", yields a confusing answer in electrical terms.
Is Ethanol Conductive Electrically?
In truth, ethanol, like other alcohols, conducts electricity rather poorly because it is a non-electrolyde. Ethanol itself contains practically no electrolytes besides those that form as an effect of auto-ionization; these electrolytes, however, are in so small a number that they're virtually negligible.
Ethanol is also called a covalent compound because it does not contain ions that are necessary for electricity to be able to flow through a liquid or a solution. This means that electrical charge cannot be carried completely through ethanol. In sum, ethanol cannot conduct electricity.
A simple experiment, in which wires connected to a light bulb and a battery are placed into ethanol, can tell you whether ethanol can conduct electricity or not. In such an experiment, the bulb will not light up, which means that ethanol is not conductive. In other words, ethanol has zero electrical conductivity. The question now is, why is ethanol being used to run cars if it cannot conduct electrical current in the first place?
How Does Ethanol Conduct Electricity?
Ethanol is not the only non-conductive substance that can conduct electricity. Pure water is not a good conductor of electricity as well. However, when certain substances are mixed with water, the resulting solution can conduct electricity. The same thing applies to ethanol. When you mix ethanol with another substance that can conduct electricity quite well, the resulting mixture will be able to conduct electricity.
Thus, if you use pure ethanol in your car, it will not run. This is why ethanol fuel is a mixture of ethanol and gasoline – a powerful conductive agent.
Once ethanol is blended with gasoline, however, the result is a liquid conductive agent that can produce sufficient energy to run a vehicle.
Thus, ethanol fuel is often made up of a mixture of ethanol and gasoline, usually with a lower concentration of ethanol. The government has mandated the addition of at least 10% of ethanol to gasoline as a move to encourage the use of renewable fuels. Thus, ethanol fuel can be found in different blends, which are called E10, E20, E30, and so on, with the numbers indicating the percentage of ethanol present in the mixture. The highest concentration is E85; due to its unique nature, E85 ethanol blends require engines to be converted into flex fuel systems first before E85 can be safely used.

The potluck in my honor today, Secretary's Day, was both touching and awkward, because at least 50% of the office isn't all that fond of me. They were just following orders. So they twist around in their chairs and make uncomfy little frowny faces while the half of the office that can stand me makes off-color remarks with me. It's the prison guards that like me, and the bureaucrats that don't. I take this to mean that my calling in life was to have been prison guard, and I have missed it. According to all the "crazypants" metaphysical books I read all night, this is a sign that I need to align my annoying personality with my beautiful soul. Apparently it is my annoying personality that is hindering me from being what my beautiful soul intended me to be (lesbian prison guard). Actually, I was already well aware that my annoying personality was destroying my life. This was not something I needed to spend $7.99 on to find out ($19.99 if the paperback was unavailable).
Then I had to clean up after the potluck so they could interview me for the promotion. I expected it to be about what we do all day, which I am intimately familiar with. But no. It was a string of personal questions about how my life experience may have prepared me for the arduous task of analyzing. I struggled to draw meaningful content from my many nights of dicking around on the internet and staring enraptured at America's Next Top Model. I could not come up with much. But I think they were distracted anyway by my snazzy blazer and pointy heels, which I am counting on to win them over. They have never seen me in anything but wifebeaters and Old Navy flip-flops. At least not since my first interview.
All the nervous energy made me fidgety, so I walked up to the corner market to get an icee. On my way out, a guy told me I'd dropped something. I looked around for 10 or 20 minutes until he finally said, "It's your smile." My urge to kill him was eclipsed by the fact that I thought it was cute, so I ended up smiling. Shucks.

The big question arising here, I suppose, is: does qualification as a "flagship" smartphone mandate a first-class camera array? Or is good-enough good enough? As I hinted in part 1, there's not a lot of point spending extra money on a wizard camera array that you won't be competent to deploy. If it's ok at its day job and perhaps rather less competent in low light but night shots aren't in your repertoire anyway, nothing… Now read on…
Smartphones are getting smarter. And some of the smartest are also getting cheaper. Phones with features that would have put them in the flagship class three years ago are now hitting the market at mid-range prices. Which raises a question about today's flagship phones. Are they really offering that much extra value for their asking prices of £900 and above? Tested Technology has a perspective on this that you may not share, so it would… Now read on…

There probably is a lot more to tell, but we're not in the position to tell it for the simple reason that the update to ColorOS 7—Oppo's version of Android 10—targetted at the end of last year, still hasn't reached us.

Yes, it's a YASP—yet another smartphone. But I definitely welcome this latest offering from Oppo. Considered purely on a YASP basis, the new Reno 2 scores well on price per feature.

I began my review of Huawei's previous offering, the Mate 20 Pro by calling it "the most complete smartphone that has ever crossed my desk." So when I set off, in March of this year, to Paris with a contingent of some fifty UK journalists for the launch of the Chinese company's new P30 series of smartphones I was preparing myself for mild disappointment.

LAUS is a collaboration between Lorenz Haas and Nicola Romanò. The two Swiss musicians from Lucerne bring together their extensive knowledge and experience with contemporary music.
The basis of their first work, "Einsunk" combines German lyrics with elements of contemporary music: Complex rhythmical layers and out of the ordinary melodic lines and harmonies.
Despite it's influence from many musical genres, LAUS stands out as an absolute original.
"Einsunk"'s high compositional complexity required extensive overdubbing, which in turn supported the surrealism of this music.


[Signed] Zerbe, Jerome. The Art of Social Climbing. First Edition. 1965. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in good plus condition—jacket shows soiling, minor tears, and rubbing. It is price-clipped. Book is boldly signed "Jerome Zerbe" on the flyleaf.
Based upon this humorous but helpful book, Jerome Zerbe did more than take photographs while stationed at his El Morocco banquette. He also made shrewd observations. It is breezy social discourse, but fascinating. Zerbe muses that the main obstacle for the nouveaux riches is the old poor. He classifies café society wannabes as Nescafé. A final treat is an appendix listing his version of Mrs. Astor's Four Hundred, circa 1965.

British genetic scientist Sir Alec Jeffreys has been honoured with the Copley Medal 2014. The prize, said to be the oldest science award in the world today, honor this pioneer of genetic profiling for his contribution to this branch of science.
He discovered the technique of how to differentiate between individual DNAs - a science now known as genetic fingerprinting.
His vast exploration of human genome, its formation, mutation and variation is now the vital cog in the forensic science helping to crack identities based on blood (DNA).
Genetic profiling through DNAs is called Genetic Fingerprinting.
Like fingerprints, no two persons have same DNA; and the degree of similarity establish how close (or far) they are to each other.
Its given by the Royal Society of London for "outstanding achievements in research in any branch of science."
The annual award is given alternately to physical and the biological sciences.

Dizzy Dean
(person) by LiarXAgerate Mon Feb 24 2003 at 3:05:25
Jay Hanna "Dizzy" Dean
Died: July 17, 1974
Dizzy Dean was a Major League Baseball Hall of Fame baseball pitcher who pitched for the St. Louis Cardinals, the Chicago Cubs, and the St. Louis Browns from 1930 to 1941 and 1947. He was the ringleader of the Cardinals teams of the mid-1930s known as the Gashouse Gang, a group as well known for their Yogi Berra-like wit and penchant for practical jokes as their baseball skill.
For a Hall of Famer he had a very short career, only pitching five "Hall of Fame" type seasons. He came up as a 20 year old from the St. Louis Cardinals' farm system and pitched in one game, then spent all of 1931 in the minors. In 1932 he pitched his first full season and won 18 games while losing 15. His next year saw him win 20, but it was 1934 when he began his dominant years.
1934 was also the year where he made a famous prediction: he and his brother, Paul Dean, a rookie pitcher whom the sportswriters referred to as Daffy, would win 45 games. As it turns out, they won 49, 30 of which belonged to the year's MVP, Dizzy, who became one of three players since 1922 to have won 30 games in a season (the others being Lefty Grove, who did it in 1931, and Denny McClain, who did it in 1968.) He also won two games, including game seven, in the 1934 World Series, in which the Cardinals defeated the Detroit Tigers.
Two more 24+ win seasons would follow, but in 1937 his career came to a screeching halt when a line drive in the all-star game broke his foot and forced him to change his pitching motion. He was never the same pitcher, and the next year he was traded to the Chicago Cubs. He had a good first year for them, going 7-1 in limited action with a 1.81 ERA, but he couldn't regain his previous success and retired in 1941. He was only thirty, and he retired to the broadcasting booth, where he stayed for 20 years, first with the St. Louis Browns and then doing the Game of the Week on TV.
Of course, he had one last try at pitching--the St. Louis Browns, always looking for some way to draw fans, had him pitch once in 1947. He actually did well, pitching four scoreless innings and garnering a base hit. Dizzy Dean was elected to the hall of fame in 1953.

U.S. envoy calls for 'cooler heads' in Asian island dispute
TOKYO » A top U.S. diplomat called on Thursday for "cooler heads to prevail" in an emotional row over disputed islands that have raised tensions in Asia, urging the leaders of China and Japan to begin private consultations aimed at avoiding a potentially dangerous escalation.
Kurt M. Campbell, the assistant secretary of state for East Asia and Pacific affairs, also urged Japan's new prime minister, Shinzo Abe, to hold behind-the-scenes talks with South Korea to defuse a separate territorial dispute as well as disagreements over history that have driven a wedge between the two countries, the United States' two closest allies in the region.
Campbell led a delegation that included officials from the Pentagon and White House who are among the highest-ranking Americans to visit Japan and South Korea since conservative, pro-Washington leaders won elections in both nations last month. The delegation arrived here in Tokyo on Wednesday after a two-day visit to the South Korean capital, Seoul, where Campbell met the South Korean president-elect, Park Geun-hye.
Campbell said the delegation took time to consult on the fast-moving crisis in Algeria that started when Islamist gunmen seized hostages at a gas plant including U.S. and at least three Japanese citizens. He said U.S. and Japanese officials were "in very close, hourly consultations" on the issue.
The main goal of the Asia mission appeared to be coordinating a mutual response to China's increasingly assertive claims in regional waters, as well to the recent launch of a long-range rocket by North Korea. Japanese officials said talks on Thursday focused on Japan's continuing standoff with China over the uninhabited island group, known as the Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in Chinese.
Tensions appeared to rise last week after fighter jets from both nations tailed each other in airspace near the islands, raising fears in Washington of a mishap spiraling into a full-blown military clash that could embroil the U.S., which is obligated by treaty to come to Japan's defense.
"We've made very clear our desire to see cooler heads prevail and the maintenance of peace and stability overall," Campbell told reporters. At the same time, he said the U.S. would not serve as mediator — a sign, said analysts, that Washington wants to avoid getting drawn too far into the thorny regional disputes.
That stance has drawn criticism in Japan, China and South Korea that the U.S. is not taking enough responsibility for conflicts it helped create by drawing the current borders after breaking up the Japanese empire at the end of World War II.
In Tokyo, analysts and politicians said the Americans' visit was also aimed at soothing ruffled feathers after the Obama administration turned down a request by Abe to visit Washington this month, in what was viewed by some Japanese as an embarrassing rebuff for the new prime minister. U.S. officials have said they had simply asked that the visit be delayed until new secretaries of state and defense assumed their duties.
The Americans were sent to Tokyo "to communicate the firm commitment of the Obama administration to continuing to strengthen the U.S.-Japan alliance," said another member of the delegation, Daniel Russell, the National Security Council's senior director for Asia.
The delegation also praised the Abe administration's efforts to strengthen ties with the U.S. At Japan's request, the two nations began talks on Thursday on updating guidelines that were written in 1997 to govern how the U.S. and Japanese militaries would cooperate during a crisis, Japanese officials said.
Another goal was to privately urge that the hawkish Abe not further worsen ties with South Korea by revising official apologies made by Japan in the 1990s to victims of its early 20th century militarism, analysts and Japanese politicians said.
Those concerns were raised in September when Abe vowed during an internal party election to revise a 1993 apology to so-called comfort women from Korea and elsewhere who were forced into sexual servitude for Japan's wartime military. Like many on Japan's right, Abe rejects the claim by many historians and the South Korean government that the Japanese military had a direct role in coercing the women to become sex slaves.
The emotionally charged issue of the women helped lead to the recent deterioration in ties between Japan and South Korea. South Korean officials say anger at Japan's refusal to officially compensate the women was what drove President Lee Myung-bak to pay a visit over the summer to the islands controlled by South Korea but claimed by both countries, which in turn provoked outrage in Japan.
When asked whether he raised the sex slave issue in his talks with Japanese officials, Campbell said "we support the efforts that the Japanese government has taken to reach out to South Korea," an apparent reference to a special emissary whom Abe sent to Seoul earlier this month to mend fences by meeting with the incoming president.
