...policy group that aims to curb alcohol use among minors, emphasized the effectiveness of an approach using prevention and treatment, rather than enforcement and punishment. Guests also discussed a bill pending in the Massachusetts legislature that would make it illegal for those under 21 to consume alcohol. Danny A. Trujillo, associate dean for substance abuse programs at MIT, said that recent policy revisions have led to a 260 percent increase in the number of alcohol-related referrals to the college’s Office for Student Conduct in the past year. These policies, which were created with the help...
...Raoul Trujillo, a veteran Native American film actor, is perhaps the only Apocalypto actor who may be recognizable to U.S. audiences (he appeared in last year's The New World). He says he jumped at the chance to be part of Gibson's Maya adventure. "A story like this has never been done before," says Trujillo, who plays a sinister Maya warrior named Zero Wolf. "Mel is fearless that way." Mayra Sérbulo, a Mexican Zapotec Indian who has been nominated this year for an Ariel (Mexico's Oscar) as best supporting actress, agrees. "People do have to remember...
Tyson's heretical planetarium exhibit was based on the theory that there must be lots of things out there the size of Pluto. Brown and Trujillo found some of them, and for the past year and a half, the pressure has been on to decide once and for all which are planets and which are not. 2003 UB313 just upped the ante. But it is like trying to define continent, says Brown. "Some geographers call Australia a continent," he says, "and some call it a very big island. There is no scientific definition." It is human nature to put things...
...roundness rule would add lots of planets to the solar system in one fell swoop: not just Sedna, Quaoar and 2003 UB313 but also two more icy worlds spotted by Brown and Trujillo--2004 DW, a little bigger than Quaoar, and 2003 EL61, probably about seven-tenths the size of Pluto. The latter made headlines when it was formally announced to the world by Spanish astronomers who, according to Brown, knew where to look because they had used the Internet to tap into his telescope logs (the Spaniards deny the charge). At least five or six asteroids would also qualify...
There's no telling when the IAU might make a decision. It could be as early as the end of this month. But it can't wait forever; Brown and Trujillo have even more discoveries waiting in the pipeline (they've put their logs behind a firewall to keep prying competitors away) and they're not done yet. Just about all the new worlds have been found by looking even farther outside the plane of the solar system than Pluto's orbit. "Nobody really expected to see anything way up there," says Brown. "But based on what we've found...
