| Fallen Bainbridge champ still hanging around gym
Marie Welsh spun through the air, her body completing a flip with 2 1/2 twists before her feet landed solidly on the floor mat. Most of the Bainbridge High junior's body stopped twisting when her feet hit the mat. Her left knee was the exception. There was no audible pop, no exclamations of pain. Only a "mushy" feeling around her swollen knee signaled the torn anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus that brought Welsh's precocious gymnastics career to an equally precocious halt last May. The fear of reinjuring the knee never subsided. When she turned out for Bainbridge's first practice of the season in November, she would not even let herself jump from the low beam onto the floor. "I decided I wasn't going to do gymnastics because I just didn't want to reinjure it and go through that again," Welsh said.

Flick Picks: Movies for this weekend
Keitel lends his trademark intensity to his hard-boiled role as a cheated thief out for justice and revenge in director John Irvin's flavorful L.A.-set caper. Thesps Famke Janssen and Timothy Hutton, in a rare bad-guy role, lend solid support. Saturday 3:45 p.m. (TCM) "The African Queen" (1951). Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn. Prim spinster Hepburn and vulgar boatman Bogie brave the African backwaters, enemy Germans and each other in John Huston's witty, ageless adventure classic. 8:00 (ENC) "Independence Day" (1996). Will Smith, Bill Pullman. Ace pilot Smith, hacker Jeff Goldblum and high-flying U.S. Prez Pullman look to save the planet from a particularly nasty batch of aggressive extraterrestrials in Roland Emmerich's gleefully pulpy, over-the-top alien-invasion epic.
PUBLIC AFFAIRS: What's up at UWI? Graduate students cite inadequate ...
In the Caribbean, the University of the West Indies (UWI) has regarded itself as the leading institution in the area of research. The university brags about its numerous publications in top international journals and research relevant to our West Indian and wider global societies. At the UWI Mona campus, the Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences houses the most research students. Research from within that faculty has impacted the Caribbean and the world. Areas of research include medicine, bauxite, agriculture, food-processing industries, disaster management, crucial geological data and theories, atmospheric physics, notably global warming. Some of us can recall the issue of the salt that we export to Guyana becoming discoloured before arrival, ackee research, sickle cell, etc. The faculty has also produced many scholars in the areas of inorganic-reaction mechanisms, catalysis, organic synthesis, polymers, natural products, carbohydrate chemistry, climate-impact studies, Caribbean tectonics (geology), and Mona geographic information systems (GIS).
