After the first six weeks of the 2014-2015 basketball season I picked out a five “Players to Watch,” a pre-region basketball team for the 2014-2015 season.
Who are the top five basketball players that shined the brightest during the first third of the 2014-2015 basketball season?
This week it’s the ladies, and on Jan. 21, it will be the guys’ turn. Five boys and five girls between Berkeley, Timberland, Cross and St. John’s.
Ladies first.

Astronomers have discovered what they say is the most Earth-like planet yet detected — a distant, rocky world that’s similar in size to our own and exists in the Goldilocks zone where it’s not too hot and not too cold for life.
The find, announced Thursday, excited planet hunters who have been scouring the Milky Way galaxy for years for potentially habitable places outside our solar system.
“This is the best case for a habitable planet yet found. The results are absolutely rock solid,” University of California, Berkeley astronomer Geoff Marcy, who had no role in the discovery, said in an email.

Spiders may trap unsuspecting prey by sucking them in using electrostatic attraction, new research suggests.
The new study, published Thursday in the journal Scientific Reports, found that the spiderweb of the common cross spider (or garden spider) is attracted to electrically charged objects, with the sticky threads of spider silk arcing toward each other in response to a charged object.
Stroke of inspiration
Some flying insects, as they flap their wings, for instance, generate an electric charge. As such the new results suggest that charged bugs such as honeybees could be sucked into, and then trapped by, a spider’s sticky web as they fly by.
“Charged insects can produce a deformation of a spiderweb,” said study co-author Victor Ortega-Jimenez, a biologist at the University of California, Berkeley. “Any insect that is flying very close to the spiderweb can be trapped by the electrostatic effect.”

A robot as small as a housefly has managed the delicate task of flying and hovering the way the actual insects do.
“This is a major engineering breakthrough, 15 years in the making,” says electrical engineer Ronald Fearing, who works on robotic flies at the University of California, Berkeley. The device uses layers of ultrathin materials that can make its wings flap 120 times a second, which is on a par with a housefly’s flapping rate. This “required tremendous innovation in design and fabrication techniques”, he adds.
The robot’s wings are composed of thin polyester films reinforced with carbon fibre ribs and its ‘muscles’ are made from piezoelectric crystals, which shrink or stretch depending on the voltage applied to them.

Although ulcerative colitis can appear at any age, it usually happens to younger people, often between the ages of 15 and 30 — a time in your life when you don’t expect to have a serious health problem. That was the case with Adam Scheuer, whose relatives had assorted stomach problems, so when he experienced discomfort, he considered it just a part of life. Then he started noticing blood in his stool.
