  • Here the Stadium Is Not Complete in Time, We See Two Potential Alternatives
    In 2017, after years of lobbying and planning, the Pawtucket Red Sox announced their move to Worcester, Massachusetts. The WooSox and Worcester announced that Polar Park would be fully emerged into Worcester’s Canal District. From the beginning, this plan was centered on building more than a stadium through a massive redevelopment of the Canal District along with a restructuring of Kelley Square. This undertaking would be funded by the team through lease payments, and the city/state in the development stages. Overall, the stadium is projected to cost approximately $99 million with additional fees around $37.5 million for property acquisition and operating expenses (Kane, 2020). The team is expected to pay $43.4 million while the city is responsible for $56.1 million (Kotsopoulous, 2020). In addition, the Canal District is expected to undergo a massive redevelopment. The plan created by Gilbane-Hunt and AECOM is projected to cost $101 million (Welker, n.d.). This proposal includes a 120,000 square-foot office building in left field with retail and restaurant space; two hotels; and further retail, office, and residential areas throughout the Canal District. This redevelopment is expected to help the stadium pay for itself as Worcester City Manager, Ed Augustus, has stated, “the fundamental principle [is] that no existing city tax revenue will be used to fund the ballpark construction.” Instead, payments will come from an incremental tax increase from the redeveloped district and increases in facility fees from the team through ticket sales and parking, among others (Kotsopoulous, 2020). However, the COVID-19 pandemic may have thrown a wrench into these plans.

  • Whole Genome Sequencing Identifies a Missense Mutation in HES7 Associated with Short Tails in Asian Domestic Cats
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Whole Genome Sequencing Identifies a Missense Mutation in HES7 Associated with Short Tails in Received: 04 May 2016 Accepted: 19 July 2016 Asian Domestic Cats Published: 25 August 2016 Xiao Xu, Xin Sun, Xue-Song Hu, Yan Zhuang, Yue-Chen Liu, Hao Meng, Lin Miao, He Yu & Shu-Jin Luo Domestic cats exhibit abundant variations in tail morphology and serve as an excellent model to study the development and evolution of vertebrate tails. Cats with shortened and kinked tails were first recorded in the Malayan archipelago by Charles Darwin in 1868 and remain quite common today in Southeast and East Asia. To elucidate the genetic basis of short tails in Asian cats, we built a pedigree of 13 cats segregating at the trait with a founder from southern China and performed linkage mapping based on whole genome sequencing data from the pedigree. The short-tailed trait was mapped to a 5.6 Mb region of Chr E1, within which the substitution c. 5T > C in the somite segmentation-related gene HES7 was identified as the causal mutation resulting in a missense change (p.V2A). Validation in 245 unrelated cats confirmed the correlation betweenHES7- c. 5T > C and Chinese short-tailed feral cats as well as the Japanese Bobtail breed, indicating a common genetic basis of the two. In addition, some of our sampled kinked-tailed cats could not be explained by either HES7 or the Manx-related T-box, suggesting at least three independent events in the evolution of domestic cats giving rise to short-tailed traits.

A dozen Bravehearts each season are local student- athletes, just like Worcester’s Jared Freilich (pictured) who currently attends Penn State. AWARDS After a stellar regular season that saw the Bravehearts finish 33-19, Manager J.P. Pyne - a Worcester resident - won his first Manager of the Year Award from the Futures League and outfielder Mike Dellicarri (SUNY-Oswego) won league MVP. On the following evening, Bravehearts infielder Dustin Harris (pictured with the Keenan Family) of St. Petersburg College won the prestigious Adam Keenan Sportsmanship and Scholarship Award given to the one player who best exemplifies sportsmanship in the Futures League. CHAMPS AGAIN The Bravehearts roared through the playoffs, defeating the Bristol Blues two games to none before facing the Martha’s Vineyard Sharks in the championship series. With the series tied at one game each and Game 3 tied 1-1 in the 1st inning, the rains came on Martha’s Vineyard and forced a cancellation of the deciding game.
