David Y. Cooper III, 88, emeritus professor in the department of surgery at the University of Pennsylvania and a longtime surgical researcher, died Friday, Aug. 2, of cancer at Waverly Heights in Gladwyne.

A 1948 graduate of Penn's medical school, Dr. Cooper was widely known for his work on the cytochrome P-450, a series of enzymes involved in drug metabolism.

In layman's terms, Dr. Cooper was looking at how the enzymes acquired the ability to perform biological functions in the body, and why. The goal was to better understand how medicines break down once they are taken or administered.

Keenly interested in medical history, he was also coauthor of a history of Penn's medical school.

He entered medical school at Penn that year and earned a medical degree two years later. After graduating, he interned at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania for a year.

Dr. Cooper returned to active duty with the Navy Reserve in 1949 - he had served from 1943 to 1945 - and continued through 1952. Rising to the rank of lieutenant, he received an honorable discharge in 1958.

From 1953 to 1957, he was a resident in surgery at the Penn hospital while also serving as a resident and fellow at Penn's Harrison Department of Surgical Research. He earned board certification in surgery in 1959 and was appointed to the Harrison Department faculty.

Although he taught the graduate students who helped him, he focused on research. His contact with patients was minimal.

Governor asks citizens to imbibe spirit of giving at St John's 50 yr celebration

From Our Special Correspondent Daijiworld Media Network - Bangalore

Bangalore, Aug 11: Wamly applauding the service and achievements of St Johns Hospital and Medical College, which commenced its golden jubilee, Karnataka Governor Hans Raj Bharadwaj described the institutions as one of the best that made the State and the country proud by being the embodiment of the love, compassion and tolerance.

Inaugurating the Golden Jubilee Year of St Johns Medical College, he advised the people, particularly the well-off and affluent sections, not to be too materialistic in their attitude and learn to be more philanthropic in helping the poor, needy and less privileged sections of society. In a country of pluralistic society with people of diverse religions, castes, communities and cultures living together in harmony, St Johns College was a shining example in its service to the poorer and needy sections, especially from rural and remote areas.

Assembled thoughts

News of the proposed idea of turning the Hyderabad Public School (HPS) also a heritage building, into a secretariat or assembly or both have spurred vast reactions from alumni of the school. According to news reports, the building seems to be a favourite because of its geographical location and its vastness. The property also seems to be on top of the list if the current changes takes place in the bifurcation of the state. The alumni took to social media to react and discuss the issue.

The proposal will not have any support from HPS students and staff. It is not easy to take a decision like that. HPS is a society and it has to be endorsed or passed by the society before they transform the school into something else. HPS is not just a building, theres heritage value to it and with it come the memories. The school should be left alone.

Very depressing; am surprised at the news. Why is HPS being looked as an alternative? That it is a school is easily forgotten. The government has surplus land elsewhere, they can build anything anywhere. It looks like HPS becomes an easy choice just because it is a school. A film city in the outskirts has much more land than the school, why is that not considered? That location will also not lead to traffic jams and security issues within the city.

I am yet to get confirmed news. So far we have read it in the newspaper and online but there has been no definite nod from any Government source. Either ways, as an alumnus I am dead against it. It is a school and not just a huge building. And moreover it is a heritage structure and we are all looking forward to celebrating its centenary. A school should not, and cannot, be simply turned into something else. Political changes could affect the future generations.

High schoolers reach out to Camden youngsters

Jonathan Lai, Inquirer Staff Writer Posted: Thursday, August 8, 2013, 1:07 AM

Grooving to the "Water Cycle Rap Song" and making bracelets in the Feelings room: Fun. Dancing to Aretha Franklin's "Respect" and playing musical chairs in the Respect room: Also fun. Making kites out of paper bags in the Smile room: Definitely fun.

But nothing beat the Happiness room for 6-year-old McKenna Nichols: "You make sun visors and you play with the balloons."

McKenna was one of 15 children from the summer reading program of Cooper Learning Center in Camden learning from 26 rising high school seniors in a two-week program at Rowan University's College of Education.

On Wednesday, teams of high school students put into action lesson plans they developed in the Rowan Urban Teacher Academy Program.

McKenna and her classmates rotated through five themed classrooms. Lessons were based on the children's book Have You Filled a Bucket Today? by Carol McCloud. The young students carried buckets that they decorated and filled with crafts made at 20-minute stops at each station.

"I learned, be nice, don't be a bully, and happiness," McKenna said.

In the Happiness room, Teaunah Moulden, 17, said she had always felt the calling to be a teacher. The Rowan program gave her an opportunity to explore teaching students from an urban environment, to which she said she feels drawn.

"I'm very concerned about the shortage of teachers in the urban setting," said Moulden, who attends Woodstown High School in Salem County.
