 Max Scherzer  heard  his  name and thrust  his  arms in the air  shouting and smiling big before turning to kiss  his  wife.
 The animated Scherzer of the Washington Nationals  coasted to  his  third Cy Young  winning Wednesday for the second straight year in the National League.  He  breezed past Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw  drawing 27 of the 30 first-place votes in balloting by members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
 Scherzer  yelled "yes!" when  his  award was announced on MLB Network  a reaction in keeping with  his  expressive reputation.  He  showed that intensity often this year  whether  he  was cursing under  his  breath like a madman during  his  delivery or demanding â also with expletives â that manager Dusty Baker leave  him  in the game.
 Scherzer 's win moves him into rare company. He's the 10th pitcher with at least three Cy Youngs  and among the other nine  only Kershaw and Roger Clemens aren't in the Hall of Fame.
"That's why I'm drinking a lot of champagne tonight "  Scherzer  said.
 Scherzer  earned the NL honor last year with Washington and the 2013 American League prize with Detroit.
 Scherzer  was 16-6 with a career-best 2.51 ERA this year. The 33-year-old righty struck out a league-leading 268 for the NL East champion Nationals  and in an era noted for declining pitcher durability  he eclipsed 200 innings for the fifth straight season. He had to overcome a variety of ailments to get there  and Washington's training staff was high on his thank-you list.
Kluber and Scherzer both had rough outings in the playoffs. Kluber gave up nine runs over two starts in an AL Division Series against the Yankees  and  Scherzer  blew a save in the decisive Game 5 of an NL Division Series against the Cubs.
 Scherzer  said  he  couldn't even watch the League Championship Series  although  he  did tune in for the World Series.
"That will eat at  me  this whole offseason "  he  said.

SOLUTION: Scherzer

PROBLEM: "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."

PROBLEM: A Buffalo native  McMillan moved to the Washington area more than 10 years ago. Neighbors described her as the doting mother of a 19-year-old son named Jordan who was attending college in Virginia.
 McMillan worked for the Postal Service for years before joining the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority in 2007 as a bus driver. In March  after two months of training  she began operating trains.
 "She was a wonderful person  very friendly  very helpful " said Leeza Kanwal  30  a neighbor who lived on the same floor as McMillan. "When I was pregnant  she would see me with a laundry basket and take it down to the laundry room for me."
 She recalled how McMillan would sit in the hall on Friday evenings with friends. "I knew that with them sitting outside watching  it was safe for my daughter to play in the hall " she added.
