Yypk Three Charged In U.S. Terror Plot
A woman who helps students go to college with their posse, a psychiatrist who treats combat veterans and a museum director on Alaska s Kodiak Island are among the 24 winners of this year s MacArthur Foundation genius grants. The $500,000 fellowships were announced Tuesday by the Chicago-based John D. and Catherine T. Ma

It s an incredible gift, said Deborah Bial, 42, founder and president of the Posse Foundation, which helps form social networks that college students can turn to for support. It will change my life and I hope it will change Posse s life. Bial was working with New York City public school students in a leadership program when one of the program s alumni tried to explain to her why he struggled after high school. He said, I never would have dropped out of college if I had my posse with me, she said.The conversation inspired Bial, then 23, to create the program that identifies promising teenagers from urban environments and gets them pre-collegiate training in small groups with other students - their posse - destined for the same school. Since then, the New York-based foundation has placed

Further down the line, the researchers hope to develop controlled techniques to dissolve the implant away when it no longer needed, and are also looking at opportunities to use the device to monitor other organs. The researchers do admit that it ;ll be a while before the device finds its way to human trials, but in the meantime, it a wildly exciting example of the power of flexible electronics.
