Movie Review: Soul Surfer

I read a movie review by Matthew Huntley about the new movie "Soul Surfer". This movie is based off a true story of Bethany Hamilton, a surfer who at the age of 13 was attacked by a tiger shark that ripped off her left arm. However soon after the accident, she was back surfing again and competing in competitions. Huntley says the movie is "bursting with heart, inspiration and positivity" while also evoking a message of faith. Although a little cheesy, he says it's an awesome family movie that everyone's kids should see. After reading the review, I want to see the movie! It sounds like an inspiring, happy movie -my favorite!

NY Times: G.E. Plans to Build Largest Solar Panel Plant in U.S.

I read an article in the New York Times titled "G.E. Plans to Build Largest Solar Panel Plant in U.S." by Todd Woody. General Electric is planning to build the largest solar panel plant in the U.S. because recently they have been increasing heavily in solar. The plant, whose location has not been determined, will employ 400 workers and create 600 related jobs, according to G.E. However, General Electric will face competition from low-cost, government-subsidized Chinese manufacturers who also is focusing on solar energy. I enjoyed reading this article because I think it is important for companies to explore different types of energy besides oil because the U.S. needs to not rely on other countries for sources of energy.

NY Times: When It Counts Most, Texas A&M Beats Baylor

This week I read an article in the New York Times titled "When it counts most, Texas A&M beats Baylor" by Karen Crouse. This past Tuesday night, March 29th, the Lady Bears lost in the Elite Eight to Texas A&M, 58 to 46. Texas A&M had lost eight games in a row to Baylor, including all three meetings earlier this season. But Texas A&M was on top of their game tonight, Sydney Carter was able to score 15 points in the first 20 minutes as the Aggies took a 32-21 lead into halftime. Griner, as usual, "proved a grind to guard." Adams picked up two quick fouls while entrusted with the task and sat all but eight minutes of the opening 20.Being a Baylor bear myself, I was disappointed by the outcome of the game. Still a great season though, Ladybears! We'll get them next year, Sic 'em!

NY Times: Trolling the Oceans to Combat Aging

I read an article in the New York Times titled "Trolling the Oceans to Combat Aging" which detailed how Algenist has just come up with a new anti-aging skin care line that features alguronic acid which comes from algae. They are selling this product, eye balm and serum, online at Sephora.com with a price ranging from $65 to $95. Allison Slater describes the exciting new discovery: “Think about how algae can live anywhere, live in the coldest of places, or the harshest of places, and think about translating that to skin care.” Alguronic acid shows signs of increasing cell regeneration, protecting against cell damage, and increasing the synthesis of elastin. One study conducted by Dr. Tony Day  of 30 women showed that after 10 days of using the Algenist serum, the women had a 25 percent decrease in wrinkles as shown by silicone replicas of their faces.  I find this new product intriguing and wonder if people will respond to it positively.
