GREENWICH HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT RECEIVES FIRST PLACE AT CONNECTICUT SCIENCE FAIR (greenwichroundup.blogspot)
Greenwich Student Qualifies for Prestigious International Science Fair Greenwich High School student, William Newberry was awarded first place in the Physical Science category at the Connecticut Science Fair last week at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, CT. William's research project was entitled "Diatom CdS Nanostructures as a Method to Enhance the Efficiency of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells."
The State award qualifies William to attend the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in San Jose, CA in May 2010. This marks the fourth year in a row that Greenwich High School has been represented at this, the most prestigious pre-college International competition in the world. The Connecticut Science Fair was held from March 9-13, and once again, Greenwich High School had the strongest presence of any high school in the state.
Fourteen GHS students submitted their projects to the fair and of these, 12 students were selected as Finalists for the final day of judging. The Finalist group represents the top 10% of projects in the fair, and include the following Greenwich High School students: Victor Ansart, Hannes Buck, Jordana Cepelewicz, James Gordon & Kevin Ryan (Team), William Hallisey, Clayton Hardman, Marina Kaneko, Brian Miller, William Newberry, James O'Sullivan, and Felix Zhou.....
Greenwich Resident Jim Himes:History Within Reach (greenwichroundup.blogspot)
On Sunday, after a year of deliberation, Congress will complete consideration of comprehensive health care reform legislation. I cannot overstate the urgency of health care reform. Every day, 123 Americans die because they don't have access to health insurance. And every day, small businesses call my office with stories of doubled premiums, sick workers they cannot afford to insure, or the downright collapse of their business because of a shocking increase in health insurance premiums. And now, opponents of reform are taking advantage of the complexity of this legislation to mislead and scare us.
These opponents argue one of the imperfections in this bill is its cost. My colleague, Representative Paul Ryan, a Republican from Wisconsin, has recently accused supporters of this bill of hiding its true cost by covering only six years of costs with ten years of revenue. This criticism fails to account for the fact that several of the bill's most important cost saving benefits - the creation of consumer-friendly exchanges, for example - will take several years and sizable up-front investments before they're up and running, while many other insurance reforms - like the bans on pre-existing condition exclusions and lifetime premium caps - will take effect much sooner.
You don't have to take my word for it. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office yesterday estimated that this health care proposal will reduce the deficit by $138 billion over the 2010-2019 period and, more importantly, in the ensuing decade, will reduce the deficit by $1.3 trillion. If the anti-reform criticisms were true, we would expect less savings and more debt in the longer term. The CBO's analysis clearly debunks these claims.....
