Nettie Stevens: Early American Geneticist (1861-1912)
2012-02-02 06:00:00 Nettie Stevens was a biology researcher who discovered that observable differences of chromosomes were related to observable differences in physical attributes. In 1905, while working at the Carnegie Institute, she discovered that sex depended on the presence or absence of the Y chromosome. Ch
Early Nurturing Aids in Brain Development
2012-02-01 12:32:00 A mother?s affection during the early stages of a child?s life appears to help the development of an area of the brain involved in learning, memory and stress response. Researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis determined school-age children whose mothers nurtured them early in life have brains with a larger hippocampus. The hippocampus is a key structure important to learning, memory and response to stress. The research is published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Early Edition.

Amazon’s Kindle Fire Is Losing Its Spark According To Early Reviewers
2011-12-13 13:31:00 Amazon jumped onto the Android Bandwagon recently with their e-reader/tablet hybrid called the Kindle Fire. The Fire runs Android 2.3 and has its own browser (Silk), App store and full blown Kindle functionality. And to make the deal sweeter it costs $199. There must be a catch somewhere, right? We earlier blogged about how early versions of the Kindle Fire were having WIFI issues. Amazon had countered this by saying that they will be releasing an update that counters this. Now more discontentment about this device have been unearthed. Many Kindle Fire users are very displeased with the product and are sending it back to the retailer. More device problems have come to our notice which include the power button getting accidentally pressed due to poor positioning, no external volume controls, poor website load times and lack of privacy, parental controls and poor touchscreen response to name a few. These are are glaring holes in the product line. According to Usability expert, Jacob ...

New Fund Gives You Early Warning of Europe?s Crisis
2011-11-16 17:30:00 The fireworks in Europe are just getting started. Leaders and bankers across the Continent are playing the same “extend and pretend” game U.S. bankers have used with their mortgage portfolios. We’ve known all along the PIIGS countries (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain) had unsustainable government deficits and would need bailouts. The question was (and still is) how the debt will be liquidated — and who will feel the pain. The next domino is Italy. Greece is relatively small in comparison. Consider these 2010 statistics from the CIA World Factbook: Greece Italy Note that on a per capita basis, Greece and Italy look about equally prosperous. Their debt/GDP ratios are also not far apart. . . . → Read More: New Fund Gives You Early Warning of Europe?s Crisis

Facebook’s Early Investor Accel Rolls Back Major India Plans
2011-09-26 12:31:00 Premier Venture Capitalist firm Accel Partners, best known for their initial investment in Facebook, Macromedia, Spotify, walmart.com, etc. has decided to rollback plans of a $400 million seed capital in India. Based on fears over poor current market conditions and increased competition among private equity investors in the country. The company has invested in upcoming Indian startups like Flipkart.com and Myntra.com. Accel’s withdrawal comes as a mild surprise as they had made serious preparations by placing bigshot managers from leading fund management companies like Goldman Sachs, DE Shaw, etc. in their India growth fund board. Accel’s plan through the proposed fund was to invest larger amounts of money (upto $50 million) in already mature but upcoming businesses in India. Offical news is that though this plan has been shelved, Accel will continue to make smaller (about $10 million) early stage investments in “category-defining”- startup firms in the count...

Velasquez v. Dos Santos - Early Picks?
2011-06-14 19:38:00 Junior Dos Santos put in two good rounds of work on Saturday (please don't argue that the third round was entertaining) effectively destroying Shane Carwin. His win moves him into a seat he already owned prior to Cain Velasquez's shoulder surgery, but interestingly, he is now the betting favorite in that fight. There is no doubt that Dos Santos is a devastating technical boxer and his takedown defense appears to be getting better with every fight, but am I the only one who still sees something missing in Dos Santos? I cannot pinpoint what it is, but he seems to decidedly lack the "it" factor that so many champions possess. Perhaps it was his decision to safe jab his way...

Randy Bush thinks it's too early to go young
2011-05-24 06:18:00 Assistant GM Randy Bush thinks it's too early to change the direction of this years Cubs team. ''I think it's way too early to look at the season in those terms,'' assistant general manager Randy Bush said in the aftermath of the Cubs hitting bottom in Cincinnati last week in a series marred by ugly plays. ''We're thrilled with the way Darwin's playing. We're thrilled with the way Castro's developed. This is exciting stuff,'' Bush said. ''But at the same time I think we all feel we're going through a rut right now where we can change this around very quickly. We really can. ''What we're experiencing right now is a bunch of character, quality, veteran players trying too hard because they...

Bears Settling In At The QB Position "Early"
2011-05-06 01:03:00 Tribune writer Dan Pompei wrote yet another "great" article regarding the 5th round pick of Iowa QB Nathan Enderle. Pompei asserted the Bears Offensive Coordinator (Mike Martz) was in fact "very impressed" with the 6'4" 230 plus QB. With that being the case, we will most likely see a QB depth chart that has Cutler as #1, Calab Hanie at #2, and Enderle at #3.This "no-doubt" works as a very huge advantage for the Bears going into season 2011. We can now continue to our focus on "protecting" these fine QBs, and getting back to the NFC championship and on to the Super Bowl in 2012. The question is, do the Bears (as a whole) have what it takes to...

Illini See 3 Underclassmen go in NFL Draft's Early Rounds
2011-04-30 22:47:00 It took a lot longer than many experts expected, but Illinois' Martez Wilson is taking his talents south. Not to South Beach, granted, but to one heckuva fun city. Early in the third round the New Orleans Saints drafted Martez Wilson and ended what was becoming something of a precipitous slide for the former Fighting Illini linebacker. "You know, the past couple of days were ok," Wilson said via teleconference. "Today was more of an anticipation day. I was relaxed, but I anticipating, waiting to see where I would go." Maybe the reason for Martez's slide had to do with one of the questions asked in the teleconference: He was sort of a tweener at LB, with some teams...
Starting Pitching was meant to carry the Cubs early this season
2011-04-29 22:47:00 Remember way back when, all the way back to March, when we all realized the lineup was not set up to produce a lot of runs in cold weather (aka When The Wind Blows In At Wrigley). I figured a staff full of sinkerballers and Matt Garza would thrive early on; in fact, I figured our lowball pitchers would pitch better than their lowball pitchers for the first two months of 2011. I figured we might start strong; then perhaps when the Earth warmed and everyone's big strokers finally started putting up numbers, that perhaps THEN we would fall behind.Well, it seems we just skipped right past the Cubs Starters Dominance part and got right to the Everyone Else in...
An early nominee for least enjoyable game of the year
2011-04-17 05:47:00 Saturday's dull thud of a 7-2 loss to the Angels certainly can't qualify as the worst lost of the season, as it just didn't have the emotional whallop of undoing 8 innings of transcendence in the course of 15 minutes. But that's really my point. At no point did Saturday afternoon's loss invite that kind of emotional investment. It walked in the room, fell over dead, and then laid there.
Cashner Leaves Early But Cubs Still Down Diamondbacks At Wrigley
2011-04-06 15:53:00 Andrew Cashner pitched 5 1/3 innings of three hit ball, Tyler Colvin drove in three runs, and Starlin Castro hit an RBI double to help the Cubs beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-4 in front of 27,039 fans at Wrigley Field. The Diamondbacks got a home run from Ryan Roberts in their defeat. The biggest story of the day was the first career start for Cashner. He looked largely effective at times, picking up a couple of strikeouts and only having to pitch out of the stretch one time on Tuesday. The only run he gave up came on the home run by Roberts, and while he was on a strict pitch count of 100, he never looked as though he was...
Notre Dame Basketball Season Recap, Early Outlook for Next Year
2011-03-23 02:07:00 When it was over, players were in tears. Heads down in their hands in the locker room. And it's perfectly understandable following a loss as devastating as this. "When you can invest to the point where you are numb, and there is nothing left, that's what you want from a group, and certainly this group was in with both feet," said Notre Dame Coach Mike Brey.Less than 24 hours after his team met a shockingly early exit from the 2011 NCAA Tournament, Brey was named this year's Henry Iba Coach of the Year, presented by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA). The duality of emotion was quite indicative of how the 2010-11 Irish season went. Notre Dame finished fifth...

Marlon Byrd On Fire Early In Spring Training For Cubs
2011-03-10 20:01:00 It might be early in spring training, but Marlon Byrd is giving Cubs fans a reason to be excited as the regular season approaches.A former member of the Philadelphia Phillies and Texas Rangers, Byrd was signed as a free agent prior to the 2010 season, making him the big prize of that winter.In 2010, Byrd provided most of the consistency in the Cubs lineup, hitting in just about every spot in the order. While he did struggle a bit in the second half, he did finish with a .293 average and some Gold Glove candidacy.As much of the attention has fallen around the Cubs' woes in the field and their struggles on the mound this spring, Byrd has been hitting...
