Makeup changes birds’ chemistry
Youngstown Vindicator – Jun 4, 2008
WASHINGTON (AP) ? A little strategically placed makeup quickly turns the wimpiest of male barn swallows into chick magnets amping up their testosterone and even trimming their weight new research shows. It?s a ?clothes make the man? lesson that ? with some caveats ? also applies to human males researchers say. 99 marker scientists darkened the rust-colored breast feathers of male New Jersey barn swallows turning lighter birds to the level of those naturally darkest. They had already found in a test three years ago that the marked-up males were more attractive to females and mated more often.

What that means is that I spent hours in the lab baking cakes to find out how little flour I could get away with and still have a tasty cake. For the marathon bake-off I spent an entire day separating eggs weighing the whites into small containers and labeling them for the freezer.
New Fingerprint Breakthrough By Forensic Scientists
Science Daily – Science Daily (press release) – Jun 4, 2008
Researchers in the University Department of Chemistry and the Police’s scientific support unit have developed the method that enables scientists to ‘visualise fingerprints’ even after the print itself has been removed. They conducted a study into the way fingerprints can corrode metal surfaces. The technique can enhance — after firing– a fingerprint that has been deposited on a small calibre metal cartridge case before it is fired. Dr John Bond Honorary Fellow at the University of Leicester and Scientific Support Manager at Northamptonshire Police said: "For the first time we can get prints from people who handled a cartridge before it was fired. ""Wiping it down washing it in hot soapy water makes no difference – and the heat of the shot helps the process we use… Dr Bond added: "It’s certainly possible hundreds of cold cases could be reopened because with this method the only way to avoid a fingerprint being detected is through abrasive cleaning as that takes a layer off the metal. Dr Emma Palmer Director of the Forensic Research Centre said: "This collaboration between the University of Leicester and Northamptonshire Police is an excellent example of applying research to a practical problem in crime detection. "Dr Bond and Professor Rob Hillman of the Chemistry Department at the University now intend to take this research forward via a three-year Ph. studentship to commence next academic year. The new project will explore further the corrosion of metal by fingerprint residue and investigate how it might be used to detect more crime with forensic science. Adapted from materials provided by.

but I’m not sure I see that with this club. Is it the injuries or the new faces that are affecting the chemistry?Chico Harlan: Chemistry doesn’t strike me as a standalone problem. It’s dangerous to draw a line between losing and chemistry. Granted a winning team will have a more enjoyable environment and that breeds camaraderie. But it’s not like the Nats clubhouse some morose black hole. The players hang in their little groups (the Latin players the starting pitchers etc.

I’m looking forward to the guys come back and getting the season started. Before that happens James — who helped lead Duke to its most recent national title in 2001 — is joining roughly two dozen former and current Blue Devils who are mentoring the wannabe players decked out in personalized warm-ups and showing off their jump shots on the hardwood at the school’s new indoor practice facility and at venerable Cameron Indoor Stadium. Along the way he’s looking to settle in as the replacement for Johnny Dawkins — whose departure broke up the longest continuous serving coaching staff in the Atlantic Coast Conference — while continuing to develop similar chemistry with Krzyzewski and veteran assistants and fellow ex-Blue Devils Steve Wojciechowski and Chris Collins. “That’s what’s unique about our staff — when you have all Duke guys there’s already a familiar family-like atmosphere and trust level that’s there and our chemistry will grow in time” Collins said. He realizes he’s new to the business and he has a lot to learn but we love the fact that he’s jumped right in and he’s had a youthfulness and an excitement that will be great for our staff.
