  3. The Harlem Globetrotters, an exhibition basketball team, have recently implemented the first-ever 4-point shot as part of all of its games on the team’s 2011 “4 Times the Fun” North American tour. This game-changing innovation will be on display when the Globetrotters take on the Washington Generals at KeyArena.Throughout the 2011 North American tour, every Globetrotters game will now feature two designated 4-point shooting spots on each side of midcourt, each located 35 feet from the basket (the spots are 12 feet beyond the NBA’s official 3-point line). The 4-point option is expected to further open up the playing floor for the Globetrotters as well as their opponents, the Generals, and is expected to generate even more high-scoring action and competitive play.

    All Ages

  8. Queen Anne Science Café: Why Do We Need a Malaria Vaccine

    Tuesday, June 7 at 7:30 p.m.

    Speaker: Ashley Vaughan, Senior Scientist, Seattle BioMed

    The emergence of drug-resistant parasites and insecticide-resistant mosquitoes together with a neglect of control has allowed malaria to go on a rampage infecting an estimated 300-500 million people a year, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. To truly eradicate this devastating disease, many believe a vaccine is urgently needed. Come hear Ashley discuss the challenges and efforts the group he works in is taking to develop a malaria vaccine.

    This event is free and open to all ages.

    Venue’s Address: located at 21 Mercer Street, Seattle, WA 98109.

  11. Join DR. Tami Meraglia and Dr. Scott Moser at Vitality Medical Clinic for:

    A Men’s Total Health Seminar
    We often hear “I don’t feel good . . . but my doctor says I’m fine.”
    Just because you bloodwork, cholesterol, heart rate and blood pressure are fine – doesn’t necessarily mean you feel your very best. These tests are designed to diagnose illnesses, diseases and conditions and do not address Total Health or Optimal Health. If you are a man over the age of 35 – your hormones are probably no longer functioning at optimal levels. If you’ve pushed yourself to the pint of exhaustion for a long time, adrenal fatigue can severely deplete your hormones. Low testosterone is a medical condition that frequently goes undiagnosed because its symptoms are so similar to other conditions. Learn the many ways that testosterone and other hormones affect your overall health, energy and Vitality how Testosterone Optimization can help you feel better and live a more vibrant, vitalized life.

    Local Teens Demonstrate Engineering Know-How in “Rebound RumbleSM”
    FIRST ® Robotics Competition Regional Event

    Event: FIRST ® Robotics Competition Seattle Regional

    What:

    More than 92 area high schools will bring students, teachers, Mentors, Sponsors and family members to participate in the FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC®). This high-tech sporting event will produce excitement and energy for participants and spectators alike, as teams compete for honors and recognition that reward design excellence, sportsmanship, teamwork, and more.

    The 2012 “Rebound Rumble” robotics game is played between two Alliances of three teams each. Each Alliance competes by trying to score as many of the basketballs in the hoops as possible during the two-minute and 15-second match. Balls scored in higher hoops score teams more points. Team Alliances are awarded bonus points if they are balanced on bridges at the end of the match.

    FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a not-for-profit organization, founded by inventor Dean Kamen, dedicated to inspire an appreciation of science and technology in young people. The FIRST Robotics Competition is a program that challenges high school students – working with professional Mentors – to design and build a robot to contend in competitions that measure the effectiveness of each robot, the power of collaboration and the determination of students.
