Still, a few scientists may get the chance to examine Lucy while she is in the U.S. A team headed by anthropologist John Kappelman, of the University of Texas at Austin, has requested permission to conduct a high-resolution CT scan of the bones. By scrutinizing their internal architecture, "we can study the ways in which [Lucy's] skeleton was designed for various types of movement and posture," Kappelman explains. Researchers already know that Lucy is likely a direct ancestor of our own species, Homo sapiens, stood about 3.5 ft. (1 m) tall, weighed about...
Simon Rattle, one of Dudamel's mentors, has called him "the most astonishingly gifted conductor I have ever come across." Daniel Barenboim and Claudio Abbado lavish similar praise on him - a virtual anointing by the three giants of European conducting. Deutsche Grammophon has given Dudamel a record deal, and, between now and mid-October he is on a high-profile European tour that will take him to historic concert halls in Germany, Sweden, Italy and France.

The Senator also lambasted the SEC's inspector general for having made "no attempt to conduct a serious, credible investigation" of Aguirre's allegations. Rather than a critical mechanism for airing staff concerns, the report argues, the IG is regarded by some as "a tool of management, used for retaliatory investigations against disfavored staff...
Meanwhile, the demands on the code breakers exceed their ranks, despite a growing number of computer and cell phone forensics programs at U.S. universities. Recently, an Indiana state prison official handed Mislan a bag of smuggled phones confiscated from inmates who are suspected of using them to conduct criminal activities from behind bars, but Mislan says that because of other investigative work, it will be six to 12 months before he has the time to take a look at them...
