Four UW faculty members have been awarded Sloan Research Fellowships, given to the very best young faculty in the country in designated scientific fields.
This year’s UW recipients are Daniel Chiu, assistant professor of chemistry; Venkatesan Guruswami and Mark Oskin, both assistant professors of computer science & engineering and Adrienne Fairhall, assistant professor of physiology and biophysics.
A total of 116 fellowships were awarded in seven fields: chemistry, computational and evolutionary molecular biology, computer science, economics, mathematics, neuroscience, and physics. Fellowships of $40,000 are awarded for a two-year period. Funds may be used by the Fellow for such purposes as equipment, technical assistance, professional travel, trainee support, or any other activity directly related to the Fellow’s research.
In 2004, the UW also was awarded three Sloan | Research Fellowships; two of those also went to faculty in the Computer Science & Engineering Department.
Chiu studies how biological systems, based on a complex series of coupled biochemical reactions, encode and process information. To approach this question experimentally, his research focuses on the development of new tools that combine ultrasensitive laser-based detection and manipulation methodologies with micro- and nano-fabrication techniques for interfacing with biological systems at the nanometer scale.

Art and Catastrophe
Professor Radhika Subramaniam
The aim of this course is to examine the demands placed on the practices of art – writing and image-making – by catastrophe. The work of art in the aftermath of catastrophe is confronted with several conflicting responses – that catastrophe cannot or should not be represented; that the recovery of the past has a historical and contemporary urgency; that the past is irrecoverable; that only art can heal | the wounds of the past; that such healing must take place without directly addressing the politics of the trauma. Art after catastrophe has therefore variously played the role of testimony, memorial, mourning, indictment, advocate and healing; it has been considered both essential and a luxury. Catastrophe itself takes many different forms – genocide, natural disasters, war, state-sponsored killings, torture, but also the catastrophe in which humanity itself is | [

Republican Linda McMahon loaned herself $49.5 million in her losing bid for the Senate in Connecticut.
In the history of Congressional elections, just one candidate has devoted more personal wealth to a campaign than wrestling executive Linda McMahon. And no one has spent more in a losing effort.
McMahon, the Republican nominee in Connecticutís fight to replace retiring Democratic Sen. Chris Dodd, loaned her campaign $49.5 million through Election Day, a figure that totals more than both Senate candidates in California spent combined.
Drawing on the loans and limited fundraising, she ultimately spent nearly $49.6 million through Nov. 22, according to an updated filing made public by the Federal Election Commission this week.
Thatís $99.48 for every one of the 498,341 votes McMahon earned in an unsuccessful effort. Democratic Sen.-elect Richard Blumenthal ultimately won with 55 percent of the vote to McMahonís 43 percent.

As the final remaining piece of the Johan Santana trade in the organization, wouldn't it be nice to see his career take off?
Deolis Guerra, RHP
At the time of the Johan Santana trade, Guerra was a soon-to-be 19-year old who had good stuff but had posted some pretty mediocre numbers as a starting pitcher in the lower echelons of the Mets' farm system.

An allergic reaction occurs when the immune system overreacts to a harmless substance known as an allergen.
The immune system protects the body from infections, viruses and diseases. In some people, substances such as pollen, certain foods, latex, mold, pet dander, dust mites or insect stings are allergens that trigger the production of antibodies called Immunoglobulin E (IgE). These antibodies travel to cells that release chemicals, causing symptoms most often in the nose, lungs, throat, sinuses, ears, lining of the stomach or on the skin.
The first time a person with an allergy is exposed to the allergen, it may not cause a reaction. However, the person is then sensitized to the allergen can and even | minor future exposures to this allergen produce an allergic reaction.
Anaphylaxis (an-a-fi-LAK-sis) is a serious allergic reaction involving multiple parts of the body.

Brains Outweigh Weight
From the Huff Post:
According to Chiappori and his co-researchers...physical and financial attractiveness trump all other factors in the marriage market, but if your appearance diverges from the ideal, specifically if you weigh more than is considered conventionally attractive, other factors can help you remain as attractive to a potential spouse as you were before.
For men, a 10 percent increase in body mass index (BMI), which is calculated by dividing your weight by | the square of your height, can be overcome by a 3 percent increase in income. A woman who weighs more can up her level of attractiveness with more education.

CHARLESTON, S.C. — With a week left to halt Mitt Romney from sweeping to a third straight victory, his GOP rivals are struggling in South Carolina for a theme, momentum and most crucially, one strong challenger to consolidate conservatives' misgivings about the front-runner.
The dynamics that lifted Romney to wins in Iowa and New Hampshire seem to be working for him here, even though South Carolina is often described as too evangelical and culturally southern for his background.
In some ways, the former Massachusetts governor is lucky, benefitting from a fractured opposition that has divided the anti-Romney vote for months. In other ways he is benefiting from shrewd and well-organized supporters. He uses TV ads to shore | up his weaknesses and to batter the rivals he sees as most threatening.
In Iowa, the target was former House speaker Newt Gingrich, who plummeted under the barrage. In South Carolina, it's former Sen. Rick Santorum, a longtime champion of home-schooling, anti-abortion efforts and other social conservative causes.
Santorum nearly won the Iowa caucus, and some consider him the best | [

The river that lost its soul
India's most sacred river, the Ganges, is black, septic and awash with pollutants. Now desperate measures are being taken to save it
The world’s most sacred river is at an ecological tipping point (Giulio Di Sturco)
His forehead smeared with sandalwood paste, G D Agrawal winces as a nurse
adjusts the drip pumping dextrose into his body. This tube is the only thing
keeping him alive. Spread on the bed before India’s most radical
environmentalist is a crumpled map of Northern India, but he is too weak to
even trace his finger across it. At 80, he is in the midst of his third
hunger strike in as many | years.
He is starving himself to raise awareness about the environmental catastrophe
facing the mighty River Ganges and the 480m people living along its polluted
banks. To India’s small, but dedicated, band of environmental campaigners,
its decline has coincided with two decades of breakneck economic growth that
has placed the world’s most sacred waterway at an ecological tipping point.

The Help Increase the Peace (HIP) program was developed by the American Friends Service Committee staff in Syracuse, New York, in 1991 as a youth-oriented program to address the epidemic of violence in schools.

Workshops focus | on three themes: options to violence; dealing with racism, prejudices, and our differences; and the belief that we can each participate in our communities to bring about positive social change.
HIP training is composed of three levels of workshops, each three days long, with increases in skills. The building blocks of the workshops are affirmation, communication, cooperation, conflict resolution, and prejudice reduction. HIP uses cooperative games | [

21 November 2012: Adidas Announce Selena Gomez As Global Style Icon & Guest Designer
Selena Gonez and Justin Bieber have the ultimate yo-mance, but they have found fashion synchrony landing the same role at Addidas' NEO label. Gomez's latest fash-gig is a 'global style icon' and guest designer for Adidas NEO label, for three years starting from Autumn Winter 2013.
She will also be the face of four seasonal collections, appearing in the print, digital, retail and outdoor ad campaigns from February. Perhaps they are sticking to the motto ' | those who have an ad campaign together, stay together,' as Biebs is also the face of the Adidas Neo sportswear label.
Selena swapped her usual Dolce and Versace red carpet gowns for a grey beanie, hi-tops, a skull tee, jeans and a checked shirt (all Adidas of course) for the announcement party last night in LA. Recently she has been the polar opposite of Biebs' casual style, but in her Adidas gear they are a match made in sportswear heaven. Our only | [

Qaddafi gets autotuned and goes viral

When I gave birth to my son two years ago, I was stunned by the depth of my feelings—not the love, I expected that. It was the sense that the life of this baby was now more important than my own. I would fight a mountain lion or step in front of a truck to protect him. I would even, if I had to, send him to my parents to live, if my husband and I could no longer provide the best care for him. That doesn’t make me special—it just means I’m a mother, same as hundreds of millions of other women. No matter whether it’s staying home, going to work, raising their kids alone or choosing to leave their children in order to provide for them, there is nothing most of us would not do to ensure our childrens’ safety. And, for some Moms, giving their children the best chance at a good life means making the most excruciating sacrifice of all: placing them up for adoption.
We hear a lot about adoption | , but usually only when things go wrong or a celebrity is involved.

Physics is worth knowing because it is beautiful. It is the hidden secret of the scientist. We may claim to be researching some topic or other because it is "useful to society" or it will revolutionize some technology but, more often than not, we are simply fascinated by some small detail about how the world works and we can't stop thinking about it until we understand it better. We are constantly astounded by the way a few basic principles work together to explain so many different things, and sit in wonder and awe at the beauty of the world. Like an artist, I want to share this beauty with others. I want them to know what it is to see through my eyes.
Unlike crackpots, who continue to make grandiose claims of finding the "theory of everything" and solving the question of the universe, the overwhelming majority of physicists really do not have such pretentious goal.

Of course, some of us are more aware of the application of what we do, and that certainly can be a motivating factor in addition to the curiosity angle. | [

I will always remember and treasure the vacation to Maui I shared with my husband. Snorkeling at Kapalua Bay proved an awesome adventure. Swimming in less than 10 feet of water was comparable to entering an aquarium. What an amazing sight to behold with the number of colorful tropical fish swimming around without a care in the world.
The Kapalua Resort my husband and I stayed at had a number of hiking trails that led to the peaks of the mountains. Imagine looking out over the bay in the evening from this destination. Gazing out toward the ocean and at the hills across the bay with nothing to ruin the view. The sunset was breathtaking!
Dining was another unforgettable experience and the Plantation House, also apart of some of the top hotels in Maui, was nothing | short of amazing. The venue offers multiple course meals prepared with ingredients grown on local farms. The chef skillfully combines traditional Mediterranean cuisine with a hint of Hawaiian flavors, which results in a scrumptious masterpiece. The many tropical fruits grown here make an appearance in everything from cocktails and salads to desserts. The key lime pie in particular was simply mouth watering. Wanting to share the tastes of the islands with family and friends, I obtained this popular local recipe.

The history of civil engineering may sound boring, but in David McCullough's hands it is, well, riveting. His award-winning histories of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Panama Canal were preceded by this account of the disastrous dam failure that drowned Johnstown, Pennsylvania, in 1889. Written while the last survivors of the flood were still alive, McCullough's narrative | weaves the stories of the town, the wealthy men who owned the dam, and the forces of nature into a seamless whole. His account is unforgettable: "The wave kept on coming straight toward him, heading for the very heart of the city.

The height of the wall of water was at least thirty-six feet at the center.... The drowning and devastation of the city took just about ten minutes."

Jim Marshall, a photographer who took some of the most famous images of rock and pop musicians, including Jimi Hendrix setting his guitar aflame at the Monterey International Pop Festival and Johnny Cash at San Quentin State Prison, died on Tuesday night in a hotel in New York. He was 74.
His death was confirmed by Peter Blachley of the Morrison Hotel gallery in New York, which represents him there. The cause was not immediately known.
Mr. Marshall, who lived in California, was in New York to promote “Match Prints,” his new book with his friend and fellow photographer Timothy White. Mr. Marshall had been scheduled to speak on Wednesday evening at an event at the John Varvatos store in SoHo, and an exhibition of photographs from his book is scheduled to open on Friday at the Staley-Wise gallery, also in SoHo.
Mr. Marshall was as well known for the striking images that he captured as the extraordinary access that he had to some of the most renowned names in music. He was a favored photographer of Hendrix, the Rolling Stones and Janis Joplin, and he was the only photographer allowed backstage at the Beatles’ last concert, in San Francisco in 1966. He was also the | chief photographer at Woodstock.
With his imposing presence and gruff, forceful personality, he was something of a rock star himself, and musicians respected him as much for his pictures as for his dedication in getting them.
“A lot of photography of music is about the look, the style, the celebrity image,” said Gail Buckland, who curated the exhibition “Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History, 1955 to the Present” at the Brooklyn Museum, which ended in January. “He | [

This past week was Palestine Awareness Week, when members of Students for Justice in Palestine worked to present facts and viewpoints that run counter to the traditional negative portrayals of Palestinians.

Riding on the promise of free coffee on demand, The Coffee Party (aka Wayward Council) have set out to inspire the electorate and storm the polls. Trouble is their policies are hazy at best and there is a hint of division and derision in the ranks.

How many morons drive an 18-wheeler down a busy highway and tap out a text message at the same time? The answer: enough to prompt a federal ban on the practice.
And it’s not just truck drivers who are now officially prohibited from texting while driving. Bus drivers are also included in the ban, recently announced by U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.
When does the ban take effect? Immediately.
Nobody on LaHood’s team apparently believed the measure needed comment, feedback or even a waiting period.
This new ban follows a similar one in December for drivers of federal government vehicles.
“We want the drivers of big rigs and buses and those who share the roads with them to be safe,” LaHood said. “This is an important safety step and we will be taking more to eliminate the threat of distracted driving.”
The consequences are costly. Bus or truck drivers caught texting while driving face fines of up to $2,750.
The National Safety Council, a research and advocacy | group, estimates that 200,000 crashes of all types on U.S. roads are caused by drivers who are texting.
Almost two dozen U.S. states ban texting while driving for all motor vehicles and others are considering similar action. Legislation has also been introduced in Congress to prohibit the practice.
Many U.S. companies also ban texting by their employees while driving on the job.
The ban against federal employees texting while driving also carried the caveat that anyone who does business with the government as a contractor is also supposed to obey the rule.

Learn about la Catedral de Santa María de la Sede. It is the largest gothic cathedral in Spain and in the world. Find out more about its history
Located in Seville, Spain is the largest gothic cathedral in the world: La catedral de Santa María de la Sede. The cathedral in Seville was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. Among the many Spanish cathedrals, the Seville Cathedral is a true national treasure.
According to legend, construction on the Seville Cathedral began at the beginning of the 15th century, in 1401. However, the first verifiable testimonies mention that the building began on this famous Spanish cathedral in 1433. The cathedral was build over the space where the Aljama Mosque once stood, destroyed when the city was re-conquered by the Christians.
On October 10, 1506 the last Stone of the dome was placed which effectively culminated the construction of the grand Seville cathedral, although latter work was done including decoration and various expansions. Later, restoration was done on this Spanish cathedral, mainly fixing small flaws that were caused by natural disasters such as the Lisbon earthquake in 1755.
Inside | Seville´s cathedral are the graves of two of the most important figures in Spanish history: the tomb of King St. Ferdinand II of Castile (1199-1252) and that of Christopher Columbus, the discoverer of America.

Pegfilgrastim reduces the length of hospitalization and the time to engraftment in multiple myeloma patients treated with melphalan 200 and auto-SCT compared with filgrastim.

Student Loan Deferment
One of the most stressful realities of financial misfortune is that you often have to deal with several financial strains at a time.

Definition of Pharmacologic stress test
Pharmacologic stress test: There are a diversity of pharmacologic stress tests. Here this refers specifically to a pharmacologic cardiac stress test in which certain medications are administered that stimulate the heart to mimic the physiologic effects of exercise.
One of the medications used in a pharmacologic stress test is dobutamine, which is similar to adrenaline. Dobutamine is carefully administered to gradually increase the heart rate and strength of the contractions of the heart muscle. Simultaneously, echocardiography or radionucleide imaging is performed.
Alternatively, a medicine called adenosine is administered, which simulates the physiology of the coronary artery circulation during exercise. Adenosine is combined with radionucleide isotope imaging to provide a very accurate test for the detection of significant coronary artery disease (CAD).
Pharmacological stress testing is commonly performed in patients who | are thought to be at high risk for significant CAD and who are scheduled for major non-cardiac surgical procedures. These patients are often unable to perform exercise stress testing due to the underlying condition for which they require surgery. In this setting, | [
