Dear Panter, Panter & Sampedro, P.A.,
I am writing to thank you for your generous $1,500 South Miami Kendall Bar Association Annual High School Scholarship award. I was very happy and appreciative to learn that I was selected as the recipient of your scholarship.
I am an Electrical Engineering major with an emphasis in computer science. I plan to pursue a career in law upon graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

By awarding me this scholarship, you have lightened my financial burden which allows me to focus more on the most important aspect of school, learning. Your generosity has inspired me to help others and give back to the community. I hope one day I will be able to help students achieve their goals just as you have helped me.
Sincerely,
Michael L. Castano

Without a scratch: New American Chemical Society video on self-healing plastics
2012-06-08
WASHINGTON, June 7, 2012 — A new American Chemical Society (ACS) video explores materials that mimic the human skin's ability to heal scratches and cuts in the latest episode of its award-winning Bytesize Science series. The video is available at www.bytesizescience.com.
The video takes viewers on a tour of the lab of Nancy Sottos, Ph.D., who has published articles on the self-healing plastics in a number of ACS peer-reviewed scientific journals.

Mount Sinai researchers develop a multi-target approach to treating tumors
2012-06-08
Researchers from Mount Sinai School of Medicine developed a cancer model built in the fruit fly Drosophila, then used it to create a whole new approach to the discovery of cancer treatments. The result is an investigational compound AD80 that precisely targets multiple cancer genes. Tested in mouse models, the drug proved far more effective and less toxic than standard cancer drugs, which generally focus on a single target. This is the first time that whole-animal screening has been used in a rational, step-wise approach to polypharmacology. The study appears online in ...

Helping adolescents root out stigma associated with mental illness
2012-06-08
Health experts agree that reducing the stigma associated with adolescent mental illness is an essential step toward increasing the number of teenagers who seek the help they need.
But, say researchers at Case Western Reserve in the Journal of Nursing Measurement, the relative dearth of data regarding stigma in this age group makes tackling the topic particularly tough. Not only is adolescent mental health stigma rarely studied, but even less is known about the accuracy of measures used to assess it.
Explained Melissa Pinto, PhD, RN, KL2 Clinical Research Scholar and ...
Supreme Court May Modify Punishment for Youngest Offenders
2012-06-08
Baltimore residents may recall the headlines when, in 1999, a 14-year-old youth participated in a video store robbery in which one of the other robbers shot and killed the store clerk. Four years later, another 14-year-old and an older youth beat up a middle-aged man and set his house on fire, resulting in the man's death.
Both 14-year-olds are now serving life sentences without the possibility of parole. Both of their cases were recently reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court, which will soon rule on whether sentencing young offenders to life without parole is cruel and ...
Highly contagious honey bee virus transmitted by mites
2012-06-08
Researchers in Hawaii and the UK report that the parasitic 'Varroa' mite has caused the Deformed Wing Virus (DWV) to proliferate in honey bee colonies. This association is now thought to contribute to the world-wide spread and probable death of millions of honey bee colonies. The current monetary value of honey bees as commercial pollinators in the United States alone is estimated at about $15-$20 billion annually
The research conducted in Hawaii by researchers at Sheffield University, the Marine Biological Association, FERA and University of Hawaii, and reported in the ...
New property of flames sparks advances in technology
2012-06-08
Chemists at UCL have discovered a new property of flames, which allows them to control reactions at a solid surface in a flame and opens up a whole new field of chemical innovation.
Published in the journal Angewandte Chemie, authors of the new study have discovered their previous understanding of how flames interact with a solid surface was mistaken. For the first time, they have demonstrated that a particular type of chemistry, called redox chemistry, can be accurately controlled at the surface.
This finding has wide implications for future technology, for example ...
Will Massachusetts Tax Marijuana?
2012-06-08
A controversial bill before the legislature has reignited the debate about marijuana use and the nature of its availability in communities. As written, the bill would legalize, regulate and tax the production and sale of marijuana in Massachusetts. House Bill 1371 goes beyond the bill recycled from previous sessions to legalize marijuana for medical purposes. Instead, it would allow citizens to legally grow and smoke marijuana, but would authorize the Commonwealth to tax it as it does tobacco.
HB 1371 also provides for the creation of a seven-member "Cannabis Control ...
Kentucky tobacco farmers provide model for deregulation, increased production and profit
2012-06-08
URBANA – If someone agreed to buy your home as is a year from now, you'd likely cancel the kitchen remodel. According to a study at the University of Illinois, Kentucky tobacco farmers adopted that same logic when the tobacco companies announced the buyout – also known as the Tobacco Transition Act of 2004 that ended a 66-year-old federal farm program. However, the immediate drop in productivity was followed by startling changes. Over the 10-year period of the study, the number of farms declined from just over 40,000 farms to just over 8,500 farms – but productivity increased ...
New discovery provides insight on long-standing pregnancy mystery
2012-06-08
NEW YORK, June 7, 2012 – Researchers at NYU School of Medicine have made an important discovery that partially answers the long-standing question of why a mother's immune system does not reject a developing fetus as foreign tissue.
"Our manuscript addresses a fundamental question in the fields of transplantation immunology and reproductive biology, namely, how do the fetus and placenta, which express antigens that are disparate from the mother, avoid being rejected by the maternal immune system during pregnancy?" explained lead investigator Adrian Erlebacher, MD, PhD, ...
