When NBC-TV’s “Days of Our Lives” aired a vintage 1996 clip featuring actress Lauren Koslow as part of a recent episode, the greater-Boston native admits she wasn’t immediately aware that it was the show’s way of saluting her quarter-century playing businesswoman and fashion-forward femme fatale Kate Roberts.
“When we were shooting it, it didn’t occur to me that the flashback would air on my actual anniversary. I’m not big on dates so I don’t think I even realized it was my 25th,” explained Koslow by telephone recently from her dressing room at the Burbank Studios in California.

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and Delft University of Technology, in partnership with the US Army, have published a paper detailing a way of giving materials the ability to propel themselves using only environmental energy flow â something the military is looking into for future robotics applications. Many plants and animals, especially small ones, use special parts that act like springs and latches to help them move really fast, much faster than animals with muscles alone, explains paper co-author Dr. Al Crosby, a professor of polymer science and engineering in the College of Natural Sciences at UMass Amherst. Plants like the Venus flytrap are good examples of this kind of movement, as are grasshoppers and trap-jaw ants i
