Brain Power: Greg Graves & George Guastello

Greg Graves and George Guastello discuss the Battle of the Brains competition which had schools across the metro competing to design a new Science City exhibit.

Not everyone has been happy with Science City since it opened at Union Station in 1999.

Earlier this summer the engineering firm of Burns and McDonnell gave more than a million dollars to reinvigorate the family friendly science center.

They also launched Battle of the Brains a chance for area students to design a new permanent exhibit for Science City and with it a $50,000 prize for their school. The winner?

Olathe North High School’s winning entry explores how mechanical power is transformed into energy by running in giant hamster wheels to generate electricity. They call it Unplugged.

City of Entrepreneurs: Kansas City

The Kauffman Foundation produced this video about Kansas City's entrepreneurial successes and looks to what the future holds for Kansas City as Google reinvents the internet starting right here in KC.

Hallmark, Marion Labs, H&R Block, Cerner and American Century. These are but a few examples of the entrepreneurial successes that began in Kansas City. Now Google has picked Kansas City as the starting point for revolutionizing how we use the internet and for spawning a new generation of innovation and entrepreneurship.

Recently, the UMKC Bloch School earned the highest ranking as the world’s top academic site for innovation management research.

The Local Show will be exploring how Kansas City will be embracing this new technology and examining the innovators.

In Good Times and In Bad: Anna Graether & Greg Schultz

Guest Host Ryan Lefebvre sits down with Greg Schultz and Anna Graether to discuss the challenges and triumphs in their fight against breast cancer.

When Greg Schultz discovered a lump on his chest in 2007, he had a difficult time believing it could be breast cancer. The marathon runner had no family history and was the picture of health. The lump continued to grow. More than a year after he found the lump, he got the breast cancer diagnosis.

Earlier this year, the unthinkable happened and Anna was also diagnosed with breast cancer. The chance of a woman having breast cancer is one in eight. For men, the chance is one in a thousand. The odds of a husband and wife both being diagnosed with breast cancer are mind boggling, but that’s what happened to Anna Graether and Greg Schultz of Kansas City, Mo.

Guest Host Ryan Lefebvre sits down with Greg and Anna to discuss the challenges and triumphs in their fight against cancer.

Both Anna and Greg received treatment at the Breast Center
at St. Joseph Medical Center. For more information about the couple, read the article which appeared in the Fall 2011 edition of Carondelet Health’s magazine Health Wise here.
