She earned her master's in anthro- pology from George Washington University and her Ph.D. from Harvard University, She has been with the Universityfor two years. How exactly do bones adapt? Well, for example, while you're still growing in height, your bones can actually grow thicker if you're doing a lot of exercise because they adapt to the mechanical environment they're in. Tennis players will have a thicker humerus - arm bone - on the racket side than on the non-racket side because they're doing extra mechanical loading on that side. What research projects are you working on right now? Right now I'm starting a new project about how bones grow in different temperatures. I'm interested in whether bones grow to be different sizes or shapes depending on whether you grow up in a cooler climate or a warmer climate. That's a project I just started, so the results are still to come. I'm also part of an MCubed project, which are University collabora- tive grants to work with people from different departments. We're doing experiments to look at how exercise and caloric restriction affect how bones grow. What's your favorite class to teach? I really love the class I'm teaching right now, which is called "Nutrition and Evolu- tion." I get to talk about junk food, the changes in eating hab- its of the last century, trying to look at big patterns in the West- ern diet. It's a lot of fun. . - MAX RADWIN World of Beer manager Chelsea Hardrick pours a glass of Bell's Oberon Release Day 2014. Oberon is a seasonal wheat ale traditionally served with an orange slice.

Independent CSG candidate Officials: Missing plane campaigns without agendas crashed in Indian Ocean 'Divisiveness' of student government politics inspire Coumarbatch's bid By MAX RADWIN Daily StaffReporter With polls for the Central Student Government elections opening midnight on Tuesday, members of the various political parties have been campaigning for students' votes, some choos- ing to pursue campaign videos or chalk advertisments along the Diag on behalf of their political party. LSA senior Aristide Coumar- batch, who is running for CSG president as an independent, is forgoing the support of a party because he feels it's achievable. "I'm running to try to set a good example for other people H-S so they won't feel like running for president is out of their reach, and also to show the importance of creating equality and imple- menting diversity," Coumarbatch said. Independent candidates often run with the knowledge that parties give their opponents an advantage, and instead use the election to raise awareness or to spread their political message. But Coumarbatch said he has his eyes on the presidency. "I wouldn't run if I didn't think I could win," he said. Coumarbatch said that most of his campaigning is through the use of hashtags such as #Aristideforpresident2014 and #fightingforchange on social media sites, such as Twitter and Facebook. Coumarbatch is new to CSG, with no affiliation to any pre- vious party or time spent as a representative. Though Cou- marbatch said he considered 5- creating his own party - espe- cially since it would make get- ting the word out that much easier - he ultimately decided to run as an independent. "I'm not affiliated with a party and I think that's what makes me different," he said. "That par- ties do have agendas and certain things that they want to pass. But as an independent, I'mjust trying to take the word of the students, to be the voice of the students." Part of his decision was born out of the divisiveness that can overwhelm student government politics. He said he could imag- ine having a vice president of a different ideology of his own and representatives coming from many different parties. "I didn't really want it just to be me and my party getting the things that we wanted," he said. "We could try to make a collec- tive government with a lot of different points of view instead of just one party dominating the entire government." What Coumarbatch does stress is a "fight for change" as well as the need to "increase diversity." "I really do think that we can help in a lot of different ways," he said. "As time goes on, when I'm in a position to do that, I'll have a better answer for that." Investigators say all aboard perished in mysterious case of Flight 370 KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) - After 17 days of despera- tion and doubt over the missing Malaysia Airlines jet, the coun- try's officials said an analysis of satellite data points to a "heart- breaking" conclusion: Flight 370 met its end inthe southernreach- es of the Indian Ocean, and none of those aboard survived. The somber announcement late Monday by Prime Minis- ter Najib Razak left unresolved many more troubling questions about what went wrong aboard the Boeing 777 to take it so far off-course. It also unleashed a maelstrom of sorrow and anger among the families of the jet's 239 passen- gers and crew. A solemn Najib, clad in a black suit, read a brief statement about what he called an unparalleled study of the jet's last-known sig- nals to a satellite. That analysis showed that the missing plane, which took off from Kuala Lum- pur for Beijing early on March 8, veered "to a remote location, far from any possible landing sites." "It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that, according to this new data, Flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean," he said. His carefully chosen words did not directly address the fate of those aboard. But in a sepa- rate message, sent to some of their relatives just before he spoke, Malaysia Airlines officials said that "we have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt that MH370 has been lost and that none of those on board survived." Officials said they concluded that the flight had been lost in the deep waters west of Perth, Aus- tralia, based on more thorough analysis of the brief signals the plane sent every hour to a satel- lite belongingto Inmarsat, a Brit- ish company, even after other communication systems on the jetliner shut down. The pings did not include any location information. But Inmar- sat and British aviation officials used "a type of analysis never before used in an investigation of this sort" to zero in on the plane's last direction, as it reached the end of its fuel, Najib said. In a statement, Inmarsat said the company used "detailed anal- ysis and modelling" of transmis- sions from the Malaysia Airlines jet and other known flights to describe "the likely direction of flight of MH370." Najib gave no indication of exactly where in the Indian Ocean the plane was last heard from, but searchers have sighted possible debris in an area about 2,500 kilometers (1,550 miles) southwest of Perth. High waves, gale-force winds and low-hanging clouds forced the multinational search to be suspended for 24 hours Tuesday, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said in a statement. Australian Transport Minis- ter Warren Truss, who is respon- sible for the search coordination, said Tuesday in Canberra the determination that the plane had crashed shifts the search to a new phase, but that it would be a dif- ficult and long one. "The Malaysian announce- ment is purely based on the sat- ellite imagery that's available, the calculations about fuel and capacity of the aircraft to stay in the air, so it's really a long, long way away before much can be done bywayof physical examina- tion," he said. He said that under interna- tional agreements governing air travel "Malaysia needs to take control" and decide how to pro- ceed. Truss said the Australian naval supply ship HMAS Success had beeninthe areawhereobjectshad been spotted Mondaybutits crew had been unable to find anything. He said he did not expect the search for debris would be scaled back in the short term. "Obviously, recovery of any kind of debris that may be related to the aircraft will be important for the investigative stage," he said. "So it's still important for us to try and find as much of the air- craft as possible." There is also a race against the clock to find any trace of the plane that could lead them to the location of the black boxes, the common name for the cockpit voice and data recorders, whose battery-powered "pinger" could stop sending signals within two weeks. The batteries are designed to last at least a month and can last longer. The plane disappeared March 8. Some of the relatives who gathered to listen to Najib, met the news with shrieks and uncon- trolled sobs. Others collapsed into the arms of loved ones. "My son! My son!" cried a woman in a group of about 50 gathered at a hotel near Beijing's airport, before falling to her knees. Minutes later, medical teams carried one elderly man out of the conference room on a stretcher, his face covered by a jacket. Gain skills and grad school opportunities through Peace Corps.
