...year, $20,000 grant. The grant does not affect the winners’ eligibility for need-based financial aid from the Business School. Michael T. Derse, one of this year’s recipients who graduated from Stanford in 2004 with a degree in mechanical engineering, became interested in designing medical devices during his junior year of college when he joined a team trying to help a saxophonist suffering from focal hand dystonia. (The neurological condition causes the hand to contract involuntarily, making it impossible for the musician to play his instrument.) “We wanted to design something...

Last year Jim won the TED prize--a grant of $100,000 and his "wish to change the world." That wish was to create a global-awareness movement around XDR-TB. Beginning Oct. 3, TED will unveil multimedia projects in major cities around...
...Island Sound, Shea’s massive concrete and steel structure has none of the quaint charm of a bygone era. Its proportions are oppressively regular and unimaginative, its seats are painted garish and clashing colors, its sightlines—a vestige from the stadium’s original design as a dual use football/baseball facility—are all bad. Sounds of the game are drowned out by the frequent roar of commercial jets taking off at nearby LaGuardia Airport, which in some sense is merciful, since the Shea theme song, “Meet the Mets...
