Browning Library’s lawn.8 Vol. 10, No. 7 • SEPTEMBER 2000 Mapping the Future of Health Care Baylor’s bioinformatics students have their work cut out for them in helping to decipher human genome data By LoAna Lopez en years after the Human Genome Project began mapping the genetic DNA code of human chromosomes, Tscientists have nearly completed a working draft. Estimates are that by 2003 or sooner, the sequence will be finished. While that will be a groundbreaking accomplishment, nav- igating this genetic map will occupy researchers and scientists for years to come. Baylor’s bioinformatics students are prepar- ing to take on the role of helping facilitate this genetic research. They have been at the fore- front of this new technology since the degree program began in fall 1998, making Baylor one the first universities in the world to offer an undergraduate degree in bioinformatics, an interdisciplinary curriculum blending computer science and molecular biology. As of April, 1999, other universities to offer undergraduate degrees in bioinformatics are Bielefeld University in Germany; Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in BILLY PHOTO HOWARD New York.; Universität Tübingen in Germany; Dr. Greg Speegle and a student analyze data on genome sequencing. and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel. “The mapping of the human genome is the human genome sequence are the beginning These bioinformatics graduates will have almost complete, but no one really knows what of a much bigger feat. “In a way it’s a mile- their work cut out for them.

  • 10 She's the Candidate!
    10 SHE’S THE CANDIDATE! A WOMAN FOR PRESIDENT RUTH B. MANDEL This chapter is divided into two major sections: the first is a brief descriptive summary of historical and quantitative information about women as candidates for the presidency of the United States; the second is an essay contemplating the question of a woman for president from the vantage point of 2007, the moment when the first woman to be a serious contender for the highest office in the world’s most powerful nation announced her candidacy for the 2008 presidential election. A Woman for President? “Why not me?” A song sheet from 1961 captures the social context in which women who might have dreamt of running for president have found themselves. In large print above the freckled face of an intense little boy with tousled hair, the song’s title proclaims, “Every Little Boy Can Be President.”1 At the end, he sings: “Every little boy can be President, Why not me? Why not me? Why not me? Why not me? Why not me?” A few bold women did ask themselves just that and considered presidential races both before and after that song was written. But the dominant cultural presumption through the centuries weighed in on the little boy’s side; the women candidates’ side was fantasyland. 1 For the record, some women have run. They merit a place in the annals of women’s political history. We might call them proto-candidates. In the course of 132 years— between 1872 and 2004—perhaps a few dozen women presented themselves as presidential candidates: some sought major party nominations, and the rest ran as candidates representing minor parties.2 No matter how impressive, determined, or putatively qualified some of them might have been, it seems important to emphasize that not one was ever considered a serious contender for a major party nomination, much less a winner of a national presidential election.

Submitted to Professor Andrew Busch By Hannah Maureen Bower For Senior Thesis Spring 2016 April 25, 2016 Abstract. The purpose of this study is to understand the impact of candidate gender on voting behavior in presidential elections in the United States. By delving into the vice presidential nominations of Geraldine Ferraro in 1984, and Sarah Palin in 2008, I provided the baseline for the experiences of Carly Fiorina and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaigns in 2016. Ultimately, I present the argument that the United States is ready for a female president, either this year or in the near future. 1 Acknowledgments. Because it is currently 4:29 AM, I would like to first off, apologize for forgetting to include any vital people or things in these acknowledgements. I have learned that my brain only semi-functions after midnight. To my reader, Professor Busch – thank you for standing by me in this process – you’ve made me a stronger writer, critical thinker, and inspired me to look at politics in a different lens.

I am writing a sixth edition of my book, Air Wars, which looks at television advertising and social media in the presidential campaign.

  • How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)
    How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must) The World According to ANN COULTER How to Talk to a Liberal Historically, the best way to convert liberals is to have them move out of their parents' home, get a job, and start paying taxes. But if this doesn't work, you might have to actually argue with a liberal. This is not for the faint of heart. It is important to remember that when arguing with liberals, you are always within inches of the "Arab street." Liberals traffic in shouting and demagogy. In a public setting, they will work themselves into a dervish-like trance and start incanting inanities: "BUSH LIED, KIDS DIED!" "RACIST!" "FASCIST!" "FIRE RUMSFELD!" "HALLIBURTON!" Fortunately, the street performers usually punch themselves out eventually and are taken back to their parents' house. Also resembling the Arab street, liberals are chock-full of conspiracy theories. They invoke weird personal obsessions like a conversational deus ex machina to trump all facts. You think you're talking about the war in Iraq and suddenly you start getting a disquisition on Nixon, oil, the neoconservatives, Vietnam (Tom Hayden discusses gang violence in Los Angeles as it relates to Vietnam), or whether Bill O'Reilly's former show, Inside Edition, won the Peabody or the Peanuckle Award. This is because liberals, as opposed to sentient creatures, have a finite number of memorized talking points, which they periodically try to shoehorn into unrelated events, such as when Nancy Pelosi opposed the first Gulf war in 1991 on the grounds that it would cause environmental damage in Kuwait.
