question:
"The conventional approach to developing flu vaccines today is one in which we perform surveillance worldwide " said David Topham  director of the New York Influenza Center of Excellence and professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of Rochester in New York.
"We collect the viruses that are circulating in people " said  Topham  who was not involved in the new study . Those viruses then typically are studied in ferrets    he  said.
"We create an antigenic map of each virus and determine how similar or different that is than the (current) vaccine strain  and if it's different enough from the vaccine strain then we select that virus to be in  next year's vaccine " Topham  said. In other words  they make their best guess on what strains will be most likely to spread and cause illness based on surveillance data
On the other hand  the new study suggests "using high-throughput sequencing methods and genetic engineering to rationally design a virus to use as a vaccine "  he  said. "I thought it was a very innovative and comprehensive approach."
The new study acted like "rocket science" compared with the conventional approach used to develop flu vaccines   he  said.
So what does the future hold for flu vaccines and where could this new approach fit in? There has been a shift among researchers around the world to focus on developing universal vaccines   Topham  said.
"These  for influenza  would be vaccines that would last for at least five years and protect against 75% of the viruses that are out there "  he  said. "There are many ways that we might be able to achieve that. This approach that's described in this paper is just one approach."
answer:
Topham


question:
(CNN) The President has excoriated football players who have joined a protest movement by former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick as unpatriotic. But the President is overlooking history -- which shows athletes now lauded as heroes  like  Jackie Robinson and Muhammad Ali   raising  their  voices (or taking a seat) in protests similar to Kaepernick's.
 Jackie Robinson   rightfully celebrated for showing enormous grace under pressure while breaking baseball's color line  refused to stand for the National Anthem after  his  playing days.
Jackie Robinson as a Brooklyn Dodger.
As  he  described in  his  1972 autobiography   Robinson -- like contemporary NFL players --  was protesting against institutional racism.  He  was expressing  his  feelings of alienation from America's system of racial apartheid.
 Robinson 's pugnacious brand of civil rights activism set the stage for succeeding generations of black athletes. Eleven-time NBA champion Bill Russell emerged as one of the most outspoken civil rights advocates of the 1960s  at a time when the city he played in  Boston  represented one of the most racially segregated cities in the North.
Above all  black American athletes are citizens  fathers  brothers  husbands and sons who have a right and responsibility to continue a long struggle for dignity exemplified by Jackie Robinson  Bill Russell and many others.
answer:
Jackie Robinson


question:
Andrea Ramsey  a Democrat vying to unseat Republican Rep. Kevin Yoder   dropped out after The Kansas City Star asked  her  about a 2005 lawsuit that claimed  she  sexually harassed a subordinate  Gary Funkhouser  at LabOne  a firm where  she  was a vice president of human resources.
 Ramsey  56  of Leawood  Kan.   was not named as a defendant in the suit against LabOne but was mentioned in it several times.  She  denied the charges.
The suit was settled in 2006  but  Ramsey  said  she  was unaware of that and would have opposed settling  the newspaper reported.
 Ramsey  was one of several Democrats seeking to be on the ballot for the Kansas City-area district in next yearâs midterm elections.
 She  had been endorsed by Emilyâs List  a womenâs group that has raised more than $500 000 to help female candidates who support abortion. The group later pulled the endorsement.
answer:

Andrea Ramsey
