Adjust an oven rack to the lowest position. If not using an ovenproof skillet, place an empty 9-by-13-inch baking dish on the rack, and preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Pat chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat until just smoking. Add chicken, skin-side down. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 10 minutes, turning once. If using an ovenproof skillet, transfer to the hot oven. Bake until chicken is cooked through and registers 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 18 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, transfer to a plate, cover with foil, and let rest while making the sauce. [If the skillet is not ovenproof, transfer chicken to the baking dish in the oven, skin-side up. Do not wash the skillet]. If the oil and other liquid in the skillet has cooked out, add up to the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the skillet; place over medium-high heat until oil is shimmering. Add shallot and ¼ teaspoon salt; cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in broth and wine, scraping up any browned bits; simmer until reduced and slightly syrupy, 8 to 12 minutes. Stir in any accumulated chicken juices, pouring them from the baking dish, if used. Turn the heat to low; whisk in the butter, one piece at a time. Off the heat, stir in the tarragon and season with salt and pepper to taste. If using dried tarragon, continue to cook over medium-low heat for 1 to 3 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve.

Science teacher in spotlight Grant goes to plant research

Adriana Moine Staff writer

Dr. Paula Jacksonʼs lean figure almost blends with the pale walls as she walks through the cor- ridors of the third floor in the Kennesaw Sate Universityʼs science building. She opens the door to a stuffed office and seats behind her desk. Papers, books and gadgets pile up like a hedge between occasional visitors and her. She wears no makeup, no hairdo and dresses as if ready to work in the garden. It makes sense, Jackson is a science teacher and as most of her peers do, she spends a great deal of time working in the field. She recently received a $300,000 grant to extend her research on dry tropical deciduous forest found in Mexico. Jackson, Venezuelan borne, has a faint accent. Her mother, Helen Jackson, an American from Missouri, spoke to her in English throughout her childhood. When studying at a university in Missouri, Helen fell deeply in love with a Peruvian student. They wanted to get engaged, but disagreement between his and her parents forced them to flee to Venezuela, where they mar- ried and raised a family. Mrs. Jacksonʼs national legacy kept Jackson always curious about American culture. After she graduated, Venezuelaʼs social conditions contrib- uted to push Jackson further into her motherʼs lullaby world. She studied overseas and received Jackson’s research takes her to the dry her doctorateʼs degree in science at the University deciduous forests of the Yucatan. of California, Los Angeles.

CD Pick: Team Sleep Erica Milton Staff writer Artist: Team Sleep Title: Team Sleep [self- titled] Rating: Turn it up! Some might recall a somewhat famous band called the Deftones who have sold millions of albums and even racked up a few Grammy awards from their mastering of a unique metal sound, but what many probably donʼt know is while the Deftones were acquiring all this status front-man Chino Moreno had another musical brain child in the works. Enter Team Sleep. Starting in 2000 Team Sleep started to band together with Moreno leading on vocals and guitar, Todd Wilkinson also on guitar and DJ Crook of the Decibel Devils spinning turntables and piece by piece the group recorded 12 tracks with Terry Date in May 2001. Later adding Hella drummer Zach Hill and Rick Verrett of Tinfed on bass, Team Sleep had become an experimental musical evolution, creating more tracks as the year progressed. In 2003 The Matrix: Reloaded soundtrack hit the scene and low and behold Team Sleep had released their first official single titled “The Passportal.” With a renewed verve Team Sleep began record- ing again minus Moreno, who was on tour with the Deftones for the remainder of the year, but rejoined his group in 2004 to finally finish what they had started. So four years later the dream becomes a reality and Team Sleep releases their much-awaited self-titled debut album. This album does appeal to some fans of the Deftones but specifically caters to the fans of White Pony, especially recalling the tracks “Teenager” and “RX Queen.” “Ever (Foreign Flag)” emits a calming and beguiling effect upon the listener, while “Your Skull is Red” drags and trudges along with unclear purpose. “Princeton Reviewʼs” opening guitar riff together with Morenoʼs breathy vocals provides an Indie feel to the album. “Blvd. Knights” is by far the most dark and heavy track but is well worth the listen. However, on “Tomb of Liegea,” a Edgar Allen Poe inspiration, we get Mary Timonyʼs (the ex-frontwoman of Helium) hauntingly beautiful voice backed by Crookʼs innovative drum programming and “King Diamond” hip-hop beats interspersed with flowing and erratic lyrics prove to be the albumʼs most electronic-based recording. Theyʼve been compared to early-Eighties Cure, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, and many more with their haunting combina- tion of ambience and rock; however, the musical arrangements of Team Sleep prove to be innovative, evolutionary, and well worth the wait.
