Congregational Ministry"But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come."- John 16:13
Five alumni ranging from class years of 1967 to 1999, none of whom majored in religion, tell their stories of the Spirit's call.
Marie Toews Cross | Rich Bucher | Dave Maurer
Jesse Williams | Jane Roeschley
Her seminary training and ministerial work led Marie Toews Cross to several places and positions she had never envisioned going.
The first, and not least, of them was the ministry itself.
"At every step along the way, it's been a surprise to me to be called to ministry in these many different ways."
Nearing graduation in 1967 with a bachelor's degree in biology, she was walking into College Hall when she met one of her teachers, religion professor William Keeney. They stopped for a moment, and he asked, "Have you ever thought of going to seminary?" The notion was completely foreign to her, Cross recalls, noting that models for women in the ministry were scarce in the late '60s. She moved on from Bluffton to a first job as a medical technologist at Lima Memorial Hospital.Five years later, still in Lima, she was involved in the community and active in Market Street Presbyterian Church, which the East Petersburg, Pa., native and her husband Steve '69 had started attending while in college.When Steve, then director of Lima's Metropolitan Urban Coalition, heard about a program at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary that combined theology and law, he decided to enroll. After he, his wife and their two young children arrived in Louisville, Marie was in the admissions office one day when the director "looked at me and said, 'Why don't you go into the seminary, too?'"Keeney's question of five years before came back to her, "and I made that connection," remembers Cross, now a Perrysburg, Ohio, resident. "I'm grateful to him for having planted that idea," she adds, saying that when the seminary question was posed the second time, "I hardly had a decision to make."Still, she started her master of divinity degree program with the intention of becoming a teacher. "It took a few years for me to accept the idea of becoming a pastor," she admits. But even before she graduated in 1977, she had a part-time position as minister of education at a Louisville-area church.
Over the next nine years, she served as an associate pastor and twice as an interim
pastor. The second interim job was at Madison (Ind.) Presbyterian Church, about 40
miles northeast of Louisville. That short-term appointment, however, turned into a
seven-year stay, until the first of several opportunities out of the pulpit led her
back to Louisville.
The General Assembly of Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)—which is headquartered in the city—was seeking an associate for stewardship education, and Marie was ultimately hired to develop educational curricula. She also taught the material and worked with pastors to improve both preaching about stewardship and stewardship campaigns."I became a rabid enthusiast and preacher of stewardship," she notes. Her 2002 book, "The Price of Faith: Exploring Our Choices about Money and Wealth," deals with the theology of financial stewardship. Moving two floors within the national offices, in 1997 she became editor of Horizons, the Presbyterian women's magazine. "It was a whole new direction to be thinking in," says Cross, who transformed the magazine from black and white to a full-color, glossy publication before stepping down in 1999.
The following year, even before becoming interim chaplain and religion professor at Hanover College, she took a three-year post as evaluator of a Lilly Endowment-funded program to measure and aid pastor effectiveness. Developing the evaluation forms and process was "something else I had never done," she says.
By 2003, Cross thought she was easing into early retirement. But then she received a call to serve as executive of the Synod of the Covenant, the Presbyterian body that covers the states of Ohio and Michigan. After applying, she rethought the situation and requested her name be withdrawn from consideration— a request that was turned down. "Much to my surprise, they offered the position and, much to my surprise, I accepted," says Cross, who returned to Ohio for the job she held until retiring in 2009.
"At every step along the way, it's been a surprise to me to be called to ministry in these many different ways," she says. And her early struggle with lack of models and acceptance remains the same for women now, she adds.
Cross, who continues to volunteer in church-related capacities, says the situation is improving "very slowly." While nearly half of all seminarians are women, she notes, "the opportunities aren't always there."
Rich Bucher has come full circle, moving home to Bluffton recently to retire in the community that was instrumental in shaping his decision to become a pastor.
More than four decades after graduating from Bluffton with a degree in social work, he looks back at his college years and subsequent pastorates in three different congregations, and he's not surprised where his calling has taken him.
"I'm a people pe rson," Bucher said. "When I look at all of the things I've done ...everything was people oriented. The social work background really works well in pastoring."Bucher, 67, grew up on a farm near Bluffton. After high school, he didn't take a direct route to college, instead working for a couple of years in a factory in nearby Ottawa.He received his draft notice and a layoff notice from the factory at the same time. While his draft number was fairly high, he decided this was the time to do his 1W service—alternative service for conscientious objectors. He spent two years in Saskatchewan doing a variety of jobs, but all geared to helping people— working in a nursing home, delivering milk door to door and, finally, working in a kitchen—before returning home to Bluffton.
"When I look at all of the things I've done... everything was people oriented."
"That all fit in working with people to considering social work and so when I got to Bluffton, I decided on social work with a religion minor," he recalls, noting he was 22 years old when he started college.With college graduation looming, and newly married, Bucher and his wife, Carol, were considering what was next for them. He considered going for a master's degree in social work or going to seminary.He chose Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary in Elkhart, Ind., and "after I was at seminary two months I knew I would stay and graduate."
In the nearly 39 years since, he served in three congregations: Topeka Mennonite Church in Topeka, Ind.; Tiefengrund Rosenort Mennonite Church in Laird, Saskatchewan, near where his wife grew up; and finally, North Danvers Mennonite Church, in Danvers, Ill. The Buchers have two sons.
His time at North Danvers, nearly 18 years, allowed him to build strong relationships in the church and in the community. Both are important, he said.Their church, average attendance of 85, has a preschool, which is also sponsored by three other churches. They partner with other churches for a community Bible school and for community Good Friday and Thanksgiving services to name a few."I have quite strong feelings about the community working together," he said. "For our church to be strong, other churches in the community need to be strong. If one church is hurting, we need to be reaching out to them and helping them."He agrees with his peers that being a pastor is ultimately about simply being present with people."My style has been one to walk with people," he said. "I spent lots of time walking with people, whether going to kids' ball games, hospital visiting—just spending time with people in their moments when they have joys and pain."That's where the social work degree he received at Bluffton many years ago "was just invaluable," he said. "In social work you learn to get along with people, assess their needs. You put that together with religion ... Jesus was a social worker in the way he related to people, always gave them respect, listened to their stories."
The call came young for Dave Maurer.
"I felt a call toward the ministry in middle school," he said, reflecting on the process he went through with his pastor in discerning what was next.
"He recommended going to a liberal arts college with a religion major as a foundation for going to seminary," Maurer recalls. "As I was looking at schools with that in mind Bluffton felt like the best match." It offered a religion major and gave the Marion, Ohio, native a chance to play soccer.
"It also had a strong religious life beyond the classroom setting," Maurer said.
He chuckles as he recalls how little he knew of Mennonite theology or community before coming to Bluffton. "I knew it was Mennonite," he said, with the perception that "Mennonites were Amish who drove cars."
"I felt God was calling me to the Mennonite church."
Some 17 years after his first days on campus, Maurer, 35, is now pastor of Bethel Mennonite Church in West Liberty, Ohio. He and his wife, Beth, and four children are firmly established in the community and church life of the Logan County village.
Maurer, who grew up in both the United Church of Christ and Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), said his decision to pursue pastoral ministry was strengthened in his years at Bluffton. "I encountered the theology very deeply and grew spiritually through opportunities on campus to be involved in ministry—chapel planning, hall chaplaincy, being part of Kingdom Seekers, a drama ministry team."
Being part of the team broadened Maurer's view of the Mennonite church. "I got out into the Mennonite congregations, got to know people of the Mennonite church as well and not just their belief system," he said. "By the time I was a senior that really was where I was theologically. ... I felt God was calling me to the Mennonite church."
After Bluffton, he attended seminary full time at Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, Va., and worked one-third time in youth ministry at Harrisonburg Mennonite Church. After graduating with his master of divinity degree in 2002, he came home to Ohio, serving as an associate pastor at Grace Mennonite Church in Pandora for six years, before moving to Bethel Mennonite as lead pastor in 2008. A congregation of around 100, the church is a mixture of people with rural and village life roots.
As pastor he views his role in the congregation as that of a "signpost to point toward God in the midst of life. We can get distracted by everyday things of life.
I encourage people to keep their attention on God and where he's at."
He also focuses on empowering people in the church to use their gifts in ministry in the congregation and the community. "In decision-making, I try to be intentional about listening first and asking questions more than being directive," Maurer said. "They're the ones who have been here for years. They know who they are much better than I do. It feels more authentic for me and more holistic for them to be part of that process, rather than for me as top-down, out-of-the sky trying to convince people I'm right."
Maurer enjoys his calling and profession.
"Whenever I think of what I would like to be doing, I can't think of doing anything else," he said. "That's a comfort and encouragement. If you had told me in high school I would be a Mennonite pastor, I would have had no idea of what you were talking about."
As he thinks about his generation and its ministry in the church, he sees opportunity for the church to be a voice of reason and dialogue. "Relational dynamics are very important," Maurer said. "This country is so divided—the loudest voice wins whether they're right or not. I think the church has a lot of potential to model a different way where we as people of faith can respectfully disagree and still be people of faith together. ...Hopefully, the church can model deeper community."
Jesse Williams '89
Recreation Management
Jesse Williams undoubtedly dodged his share of would be tacklers as he returned a Bluffton career-record 18 interceptions for 144 yards on college football fields from 1985-88.
Until about 10 years ago, though, he was even better at eluding his calling. "I knew as a boy I was a pastor and ran from it my whole life," admits Williams, who started a career with the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction after earning his Bluffton degree in recreation management in 1989.
When he was deputy warden at Mansfield Correctional Institution in the late 1990s, the Akron native began leading Bible studies on a public-access television station. Moving on to Lima in 2001 as warden of the Allen Correctional Institution, he did the same thing on radio. Also feeling he needed to start a church in Lima, however, Williams began holding Bible studies on Tuesdays at a Fairfield Inn.
Ten years and five buildings later, the group of 12 or so people who attended the first study at the hotel has grown into a congregation of roughly 200 at Fresh Word Temple, the church that Williams pastors on Robb Avenue in Lima.
Along the way, the congregation has met in an office building, a recording studio, a former Family Resource Center building and a warehouse, before moving a coupleyears ago into the church building it now occupies.
But Williams, also current director of the north region of the state's Office of Prisons, wouldn't mind moving into yet another building. "I want something bigger," he says. "I want to break ground and build something from the ground up."
His heart says that will be in Lima, according to Williams, who lives with his wife, Lisa, and their three children in the city where he didn't want to come in 2001, but has grown to love. "But we'll see," he adds, explaining that he has reached a point "where I realize it's not Jesse's church; it's God's."
With the motto, "The perfect church for imperfect people," Fresh Word Temple has attracted a multiracial congregation of all ages, Williams says. It's "where we knock down the barriers that keep people from going to church," he notes, citing formal dress as an example. The church doesn't care what visitors wear, he says, as they seek God's presence and share his love.
"I knew as a boy I was a pastor and ran from it my whole life."
Williams grew up in church as part of a close-knit family. His parents, and grandparents, were "very vocal," he recalls, in wanting their children to push "as high as you could go in every aspect of your life."
As a football recruit graduating from Akron East High School, he knew he wanted to attend a small college or university where he could get individual attention in the classroom. After then-Bluffton Head Coach Carlin Carpenter contacted him, Williams came to campus on a recruiting trip.
"I thought that was the smallest place on earth," he remembers. But as he started classes in fall 1985, Bluffton was more than he had expected, he continues, explaining that "you could see really early on that the teachers there and the community really had a love for the students."
An early, and ongoing, influence has been Tami Forbes, now an associate professor of recreation and chair of the Health, Fitness and Sport Science Department. "Tami has been a godsend to my life," says Williams, who, after a brief time as a psychology major, entered the recreation management program.
Through that program, he gained opportunities to help provide recreation in juvenile facilities, which "began to kindle a fire within me," he says. His first job after graduation was as a juvenile corrections officer at Indian River School in Massillon, before moving on to adultpopulation positions at Lorain Correctional Institution, Mansfield and Lima, where he was also warden of Oakwood Correctional Facility for two years.
In his current job as a regional prison director, Williams is responsible for 12 prisons from Lima to Lebanon. "When I was a deputy warden, one of my goals was to be a regional director," he says. "I'm enjoying what I'm doing now."
In February, he was inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame at Bluffton, where he says several people—current Athletics Director Phill Talavinia as well as Forbes, Carpenter and his wife Sharon—truly cared about him, and not only because of football. "Those folks are family," Williams says.
Jane (Thorley '77) Roeschley
Home Economics
Jane Roeschley recalls her first step onto Bluffton's campus in the fall of 1972 as "one of those storybook days, colored leaves and blue sky. It was a welcoming experience."
That introduction, she said, was "love at first sight because of the sense of friendliness, sense of smaller community and Christian context." She came to check out the college, which offered the home economics degree she sought in the context of a Christian focus.
Roeschley, who grew up in the United Church of Christ (Disciples of Christ), admits she didn't have a clue at the time about Mennonite theology. "When I became a student that became instrumental in my life," she said. "I didn't know it, but I was a conscientious objector. ... I realized I had discovered my faith family because of the peace emphasis. That began really what's turned into three decades of being a student of biblical nonviolence."
Now associate pastor of lay ministries and worship at Mennonite Church of Normal (Ill.), Roeschley looks back on her years at Bluffton as building the foundation for her life's calling and profession.
"I found my faith family at Bluffton."
A 1977 graduate with a degree in home economics, she met her husband, Mark '75, who comes from a Mennonite background, at Bluffton. They have three children, Anna '07, Leah '11, and Ben who will be a junior this fall.
Following graduation, the Roeschleys served for three years in Jamaica under Mennonite Central Committee. They moved to Mark's family farm in 1980 and have lived in Graymont, Ill., ever since, some 35 miles from the church she now serves in Normal.
"I think that with my first career in home economics, the inspiration for me was to help people have healthy and full lives, paying attention to nutrition, healthy living, family life that's healthy and whole. The common thread between my two career paths is that desire for people to have healthy, whole lives."
She was active as a lay person in her local Mennonite church, leading a Bible study and serving on a search committee for a new pastor. "I thought I'd like to take a seminary class and do a better job of leading a Bible study," she said. "Being a member of the search committee put me in touch with issues surrounding finding a pastor."
What followed were years of taking seminary classes at Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary in Elkhart, Ind. She used every method available: distance learning, online courses, intensive weekend classes, January interterm classes, summer-term classes and independent study. While taking classes, the first of which she took in 1989, she also served for a short time as a part-time conference pastor for some Iowa churches and was interim pastor at Oak Park (Ill.) Mennonite Church for six months in 1999.
In 2000, she assumed her current duties at Normal, a congregation with an attendance of around 200. The position is part time.
At the time she joined the team at Normal, she had not completed her seminary degree, but said accepting the job gave her a "new focus and impetus over the next six years with help of the congregation in terms of tuition and time off."
She graduated with a master's degree in Christian formation in May 2007. While finishing her seminary degree and pastoring part time, "I found myself falling in love with being a pastor of that congregation," she said. "I still love it."
She sees her role as "someone called by God to join with people on a journey—the journey to know God, to grow more into the likeness of Jesus and then doing God's work in the world."
The pastor, she said, "has a unique function in that journey. It's a call to pay attention to where we see God guiding and calling ... The pastor is specifically called to pay attention to that and to help equip people to find their place in a caring community. That's the lay ministry part of my job. Where are people who are good teachers, good at offering compassion, empathy, good at fundraising? Where are there places in the congregation and community that those fit?"
Reflecting on her journey, Roeschley comes back to the beginning. "I found my faith family at Bluffton. It planted a passion for peace for me. ...It made explicit the connection that whatever I prepared for vocationally was going to contribute to good things for God in the world."

Kings Of Leon rock the charts with Gibson and Epiphone!
Kings Of Leon are currently reigning at the top of the Album Charts for the second week running, thanks to their 3rd album, "Because Of The Times". And the gospel-rebelling, southern rockers from Nashville love their Gibson and Epiphone guitars.
Guitarist Matt Followill has once declared, when questioned about his Epiphone Sheraton guitar: "it's a cool guitar. It sounds great."
For years now, Matt has relied on only two guitars - besides the Sheraton he also uses a 1971 Les Paul Custom.
In Because of the Times, his bandmate Caleb Followill again nails the Kings of Leon's tried-and-true themes of debauchery, Southern-style, this time narrating stories both poetic and polemic of illegitimate pregnancy, relationships smeared through with mascara tears, and barroom brawls that get taken to the street. Though Caleb took on the lyrics for the past two albums, he shared songwriting credits with all the Followills this time around. "We took the limitations off of ourselves," says Caleb. "We went into the studio with an open mind, thinking let's do whatever it takes to get these songs to the next level. Because we really have a lot of music inside of us and a lot of different places we can go."

Last season: 23-0, ranked No. 1
Postseason: Class 4A state champion
Outlook: Coming off conference, region and state titles, the Owls have a new coach. But a strong defense and six starting pitchers, led by Chad Diehl (7-0, 3.65 ERA), create expectations for a repeat.
2. Archbishop Spalding
Coach: Jeff Palumbo
Last season: 28-5, No. 2
Postseason: MIAA A Conference champion
Outlook: With four preseason All-State seniors — pitcher Austin Clark (committed to La Salle), outfielder Jamal Clarke (.450 batting average), first baseman Nick Freeberger (.880 slugging percentage) and shortstop Sean Miller (.455 batting) — the Cavaliers are fearsome.
3. Calvert Hall
Coach: Lou Eckerl
Last season: 28-9, No. 3

Outlook: The Cardinals' core field players and complete pitching staff return. Led by their top hitter, junior catcher Alex Murphy (.417), and No. 1 pitcher senior Garrett Walther (6-2, 4.88 ERA), they are loaded and will test themselves with a tough schedule.
4. Severna Park
Coach: Bob Felts
Last season: 20-6, No. 4
Postseason: Class 4A state runner-up
Outlook: A longtime assistant, Felts stepped in after the death of Jim McCandless in January. Felts says the Falcons will play in McCandless' honor, and they come in with strong pitching and a competitive lineup led by senior catcher Brandon Cavil (.393).
5. North Harford
Coach: Tim Larrimore
Last season: 16-5, No. 8
Postseason: Class 3A state semifinalist
Outlook: Seven starters return, including senior pitcher Kevin Mooney (7-1, 0.75 ERA), an All-Metro selection signed by Maryland, and senior pitcher-shortstop Cody Brittain (7-2, 1.73 ERA; .449 batting, 27 RBIs). Previously a designated hitter, senior Jon Hammer (.313) will start at catcher.
6. Gilman
Coach: Larry Sheets
Last season: 17-15, unranked
Postseason: None
Outlook: The Greyhounds had a 2011 to forget, so a positive outlook and limiting mistakes are key.

7. Atholton
Coach: Jon Dupski
Last season: 19-3, No. 5
Postseason: Class 3A East regional finalist
Outlook: The Raiders' pitching corps was hit by graduation, but senior Josh Martin (6-0, 2.00 ERA; .426 batting average) returns. Atholton will depend on defense but get offensive help from junior Paul Burmester (.382) and sophomore Brady Acker (.333, 18 stolen bases).
8. Northeast-AA
Coach: AJ Bolling
Last season: 12-7, unranked
Postseason: Class 3A East regional quarterfinalist

10. South River
Coach: Ken Dunn
Last Season: 18-5, No. 13
Postseason: Class 4A East regional finalist
Outlook: Dunn sees his team transitioning from youth to experience. Seven starters return, and the coach calls them "big, athletic and baseball smart." The key will be building on the performance of sophomore pitcher Scott Mitchell (7-3).
11. Patterson Mill
Coach: Matt Roseland
Last season: 20-5, No. 7
Postseason: Class 1A state finalist
Outlook: The Huskies move up to the Chesapeake Division, which means facing tougher foes. But No. 1 pitcher and four-year-starter Matt Golczewski (6-4, 3.05 ERA) returns, as do first baseman Alex Abild and outfielder Aaron Childs (.400, 23 RBIs).
12. Liberty
Coach: Erik Barnes
Last season: 13-7, unranked
Postseason: Class 2A West regional quarterfinalist
Outlook: The Lions' pitching staff looks deeper, and if it stays healthy, Liberty could roar. Seven veterans return, including shortstop-pitcher Andrew Massey (.406, 20 RBIs; 2.60 ERA). Barnes said his team has a "fantastic work ethic and solid mindset."
13. C. Milton Wright
Coach: Joe Stetka
Last season: 17-5, No. 12
Postseason: Class 3A North regional finalist
Outlook: The new coach has identified speed, pop at the plate and strong up-the-middle defense as strengths. The Mustangs will lean on senior pitchers Stephen Rappe and Ryan Katelan, center fielder Nick Testa and pitcher-outfielder Matt Kline.
14. Reservoir
Coach: Adam Leader
Last season: 21-1, No. 6
Postseason: Class 3A East regional semfinalist
Outlook: The Gators don't expect a repeat of last season's undefeated run through the regular season. But with preseason All-State pitcher Lee Lawler (7-2, 0.43 ERA) back, they have an anchor. Third baseman Danny Klein and outfielders Bryan Davidson and Luke Schuster also return.
15. Dunbar
Coach: Travis Blackston
Last Season: 17-1, No. 15
Postseason: Class 1A state semifinalist
Outlook: The Poets face a challenging season as they move to Division I in Baltimore City. But five starters return, including seniors Terrence Williams (.553) and Charles Brown (.459) and junior pitcher Eddie Bennett (6-2, 2.10ERA). Pitching will be key.
OTHERS CONSIDERED: Arundel (13-12), Chesapeake-AA (18-3, No. 14), Dulaney (14-5), Fallston (15-5, No. 11), Loyola (16-16), Manchester Valley (12-8), Marriotts Ridge (11-7), Perry Hall (13-4)

I think you're right about that and Irwin will probably be their

BURNEYVILLE — Science and math are becoming hands-on for Turner students due to a grant from the Jerome Westheimer Family Foundation.
Teacher Randi McCann is coordinating the $10,000 grant purchases related to science and math activities. She is arranging the materials into kits that teachers of any grade level will be able to checkout and use with students.
Kits include supplies and teacher manuals for building items like a toothpick bridge, trebuchet, kites and straw rockets. There are also kits called "STEM in the Gym," which feature activities involving scooters and pulleys.
"I tried to cover all areas," McCann said. "There are things where teachers in different grades can use the same kit but use it in a different way for the students they have."
Both kindergarten classes have already received Lego tables, which are utilized during the classes' rotating station time. The tables are a favorite among the young students who enjoy the opportunity to show their creativity while learning basic shapes and colors.
"It's fun because we get to build stuff like towers," said kindergartner Gage Westfall.
Kindergartner Kaylee Taylor demonstrated this by creating a building with a Lego person outside on a motorcycle.
"He's a bad guy trying to break into the building. He rides things and is sneaky. Then he goes to jail," she said as she put mini-handcuffs on the crook.
The district has also received grant funding for motivational things, such as speakers and field trips. Field trips so far have included fine art classes and plays.
"We have earned the opportunity for field trips that we would never have been able to afford otherwise," said Superintendent Leslie Christian. "Mr. Westheimer has rained blessings on us."

Kate Moss Can't Be Stopped — See How She Pumps Up Her Look With Leopard
Another day, another completely covetable Kate Moss outfit: the supermodel was super-smiley while out and about in London today, wearing what we're pretty sure is one of her best laid-back looks to date. Kate stepped out in an all-black ensemble, which she topped with a leopard-print peacoat and a handful of Winter-perfect accessories. What's worth noting here is how totally easy Kate's look is to copy for yourself, considering that she sticks to just a few key pieces — a pair of black skinnies, a chunky knit turtleneck, ankle-grazing flat boots, and a bohemian-chic wide-brimmed wool hat. The street-style maven finished her look with a sleek black Saint Laurent duffle bag, and again sent us spiraling into a bottomless pit of "why can't I be her?"

That one time was Sunday afternoon in a 4-0 loss to Mercer at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex, the second A-Sun loss in as many outings for the Lady Bisons.
"It comes down to how we play," Ireland said. "It doesn't matter who we play. We really believe if we play our system, and play our way like we have done in every game but Mercer, that we can play with anyone."
The Lady Bisons will stop in Johnson City Friday night at 6 to play ETSU, 5-2-1, 1-0-0 in the A-Sun, at Summers-Taylor Stadium. They will play USC Upstate in Spartanburg, S.C., Sunday afternoon at 1.
ETSU leads the series with the Lady Bisons 5-1. ETSU is 17-10-1 all-time at home in A-Sun games.
"ETSU plays very well at home," Ireland said. "They have a lot of girls returning from last year's team. They are a tough team to play because they are very technical with a lot of size and good speed.
"They have done very well in non-conference games. They beat Campbell 2-0 last weekend."
Ireland thinks the Mercer game was a wake-up call for his players.
"We needed to get kicked, especially after our emotional 2-1 loss to Kennesaw State," Ireland said. "We went through the motions. We weren't there. We weren't focused.
"Part of it is that we got a false sense of how good we are because we played Kennesaw so well."
Ireland decided it was time to get back to the basics of the game. He hopes that will translate into success.
"If we are not disciplined in what we do, and if we don't play the system we need to play and play it correctly, we are not going to have success," Ireland said. "We have been in nine of the 10 games we have played and we had a chance to win every one of them because of the way we played.
"Against Mercer everything collapsed _ our system and our effort. Nothing went right."
Ireland also dealt with an apparent frustration level against Mercer that he attributes to having a young team.
"We just made too many mistakes across the board from goalkeeping and defenders to our midfielders and front runners," Ireland said. "We gave up a stupid penalty kick on a cheap foul. Then they scored off of a free kick at midfield. At that point we got the sense it was not going to be a very good game for us."

Iphone App Review: HeyTell
So I am WAYYYYY Behind on the HeyTell Train. I know all my tweeps are deep into HeyTell... so here I am late to the party but I have to say I love it!
So what is HeyTell? It is an app that allows you to talk like a walkie talkie.. Same concept as texting but you are using your voice. It is super convenient when driving or trying to say ALOT in a short time.
Also it is a FREE app with no extra usage charges incurred. You can purchase extra features if you wish (shown above).
Erik and I use it all the time just to communicate when he is downstairs and I am upstairs with the boy!

If Mitt Romney had won the presidency, would he have headed off the $85 billion in automatic spending cuts commonly known as the "sequester"?
Mr. Romney himself implies that his answer to that question is "yes." In his big interview Sunday with Chris Wallace on Fox News, Mr. Romney expressed regret at his relegation to the national sideline and said that, if elected, he'd have focused his executive skills on fixing the sequester problem.
"It kills me not to be there, not to be in the White House doing what needs to be done," he said.
Jeb Bush echoed that sentiment on Tuesday morning, saying in an interview on MSNBC that "I wish Mitt Romney was president right now because I think we'd have someone who would be in the midst of trying to forge consensus," Bush said. "It breaks my heart that he's not there, he's a good man."
We're not so sure that President Romney would have succeeded where President Obama has so far failed. But let's run through his discussion points on the subject, shall we? Maybe you'll be convinced where we weren't.
LEADERNESS. In his Fox interview, Romney expressed the common idea that the US chief executive is a lead sled dog pulling the nation in his wake. In the context of an issue of legislative gridlock, such as the sequester, that means the president needs to impose his will on lawmakers, maybe by locking them all in a room until they reach consensus.
"The president brings people together, does the deals, does the trades, knocks the heads together. The president leads. And I don't see that kind of leadership happening right now," said Romney.
Yes, but how would knocking a few legislative heads cause the GOP to accept a tax increase? The problem is that there is a deep and substantive divide on fiscal policy between Republicans and Democrats. Invoking "leadership" as a means to close that gap is vague at best.
Dartmouth political scientist Brendan Nyhan calls this the "Green Lantern" theory of the presidency, after the fictional superhero.
"In this fantasy world, all legislative obstacles can be overcome through the sheer exertion of presidential will.... If you accept the false premise that the president is all-powerful, it's totally logical!" Professor Nyhan wrote in his definition of Green Lanternism.
SUBTLETY. Romney also complained to Fox's Mr. Wallace that Mr. Obama's response to the sequester crisis has been counterproductive. Obama flew around the country to do public rallies blaming the GOP for economic harm the sequester would allegedly cause, Romney said.
"Now, what does that do?" said Romney. "That causes the Republicans to retrench and then put up a wall and to fight back. It's a very natural human emotion."
We'd agree with that – Obama's pre-sequester public campaign was an attempt to push the GOP towards his position and could well have polarized the issue more than it helped. Presidential public speeches often have that effect. The Republican lawmakers resisting the Democratic position here are doing so due to their own electoral imperatives. Most are from GOP-leaning districts or states and would pay a political price at home if they moved toward Obama.
That said, should legislators base their votes at all on the fact that the president is annoying them?
PERSUASIVENESS. Romney noted that as governor of Massachusetts he'd had to deal with a heavily Democratic legislature. He said that what Obama needs to do in the current context is stop campaigning and work on lawmakers individually.
"He's the only one that can say to his own party: Look, you guys, I need you on this – and get some Republicans aside and, say, pull them off one by one. We don't have to have these gridlock settings, one after the other, on issue after issue."
OK, this sounds great but, again, exactly how does the president change minds about the core fiscal beliefs that are causing the divide between the parties? (See "Green Lantern," above.) Does he scare them? What? President Lyndon B. Johnson used to accomplish this by liberal use of federal funds – promising Western senators huge water projects to back civil rights, for instance. But Obama doesn't have the money to do this, and a Republican president would, in any case, likely be philosophically opposed to such an approach.
Here's our bottom line: President Romney's ability to handle the sequester would have been entirely dependent on his electoral context. If he'd been elected amid a GOP landslide that flipped the Senate Republican, he would indeed have prevented it, because his party would have had unified control of the government. If Democrats had held the Senate, despite his election, he'd be in the same position as Obama, only the reverse. He'd be trying to convince Senate majority leader Harry Reid and other Senate Democrats to back an all-cut package of deficit reduction.
And that's why Obama's in the situation he is. It's about the balance of American power – not too few meetings and not enough knocked heads.

Early riser Zemach does a weeks worth of shopping at once, loading up on meats and produce and prepping dinner long before she sets off to work as executive director of the Durango Arts Center. Often her work requires more than 9-to-5 tasks, so Zemach makes hay while the sun shines. Make that before the sun rises.
My friends think I am crazy for being such an early riser. Sometimes I am up at 4:30, but I have to wait until 6 a.m. for City Market to open, Zemach said.
The family prefers to practice the Paleo diet. Meats can be grilled and veggies washed and readied for a typical stir-fry dinner or nutrition-packed salad that can be thrown together quickly, Zemach said.
The family of five was whittled back when the couples two older children went off to college, but Zemachs daughter Jocelyn, a student at Durango High School, and her husband, Art, a pediatrician, still prefer nutritious, home-cooked food over convenient take-out.
How does she do it?
Its OK if we dont have family meals together every night, Zemach said. I dont feel guilty if I dont have a full meal prepared.
That was a family decision, Zemach said. Its also a good idea to encourage family members to shop and cook, use a slow cooker and cook and freeze meals on the weekends for later use.
Zemach said that the family occasionally eats out or gets carry out, but that gets expensive.
That was the sentiment of Heather Bryson, Durango property manager and owner of the Gable House Bed and Breakfast.
Long before Bryson opened the B&B, when she was a Fort Lewis College student in the 1970s, she recalls cooking liver and onions in her kitchenette apartment where the Leland House now sits.
It was a budget thing, Bryson said, noting that todays young people, including her own adult sons, are often quicker to select nutritious meals from restaurants, rather than use the kitchen.
Brysons peak season at the B&B runs from June to October, when shes the chief cook and bottle washer, she said.
I am the CEO and the guy who mops the floor, she said. You cant outsource these jobs and expect to make a profit.
Bryson said the key to eating well and serving her guests good food has to do with knowing her food inventory and wasting little.
I call it refrigerator management. You need to know whats in the fridge and let that drive what you prepare. Dont overbuy, and be conscious of waste, Bryson said.
Bryson advises busy families to cook once and eat two or three times, citing an example of how she makes a big pot of spaghetti sauce and uses it to launch a second meal of eggplant Parmesan three days later.
What would it take to make enough for two meals instead of just one? You can freeze second portions and even creatively repurpose leftovers, she said.
Brysons said she watches for sales, eats seasonally and uses meat as an accent.
Its better for your health and for your pocketbook, she said.
Susan Lander, interim executive director of the Durango Area Tourism Office and former executive director of several non-profits, including the Womens Resource Center and Music in the Mountains, regularly works more than 40 hours a week.
Stay prepared, shop the sales and have an array of food available chicken, roasts salad fixings, Lander said.
Lander lived in Ecuador and Mexico for 10 years where she learned to eat as the locals ate.
Mexican food is easy to prepare, healthy, inexpensive and with the basics, you can prepare many different meals.
Lander described how she might use fresh veggies, beans, rice and fajita meat for the first nights supper, then take those basics to make a meal of enchiladas on day two.
Often Lander attends late-night meetings or must travel for work.
When my sons were home, Id leave sopa seca Mexican rice, beans, chicken or burger with the toppings, such as cheese and sour cream, Lander said.
Leaving her children with nutritious, partially prepared ingredients helped them learn cooking and kitchen basics, skills they still use today, she said.
I always have frozen broths in the freezer to make a quick soup or sauce, Lander said, enabling her to jump start a last minute dinner for drop-in guests. Because she cans pickles and condiments, theres usually something unique such as salsas, barbecues and chutney to dress up the ordinary.
Shes not adverse to occasionally picking up a roasted, organic chicken and using it as inspiration for another meal or as a topping for a quick salad, deboning the poultry while she catches up with her children around the kitchen table.
When I had a family at home, I often cooked two meals on Sunday afternoon. This way, you start the week with a couple of evenings already prepared, she said.
Like Bryson, Lander recommends making hearty spaghetti sauces and red or green chiles that are the basis for multiple meals and that freeze well for later use.

TRENTO, Italy, Nov. 15 (UPI) -- An ancient Celtic artifact found some 60 years ago in the Italian Alps has finally been identified as a Celtic war horn, archaeologists say.
While it was long understood to be of Celtic origin, the use of the instrument, made of what appeared to be tubes and a bronze leaf, had remained a mystery.
A similar but much better preserved relic recently found in France allowed archaeologists to realize that the Italian artifact was, in fact, a horn, Italy's ANSA news agency reported Wednesday.
The horns, called carnyxes, were part of a psychological warfare technique, archaeologists said; mixed with the cries of attacking Celtic warriors and the rumbling sounds of their war carts, they helped create a sense of panic in their enemies.
Carnyxes were a type of bronze trumpet, held vertically, with a bell styled in the shape of an animal's head.
Other similar instruments have been discovered in France, Switzerland, Germany and Romania.

Solheim Cup: Caroline Hedwall became the first player in Solheim Cup history to win all five of her matches, holing a 4-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole for a 1-up victory that assured the Europeans of retaining the cup in Parker, Colo.
Moments later, Catriona Matthew finished off a rally to halve her match against Gerina Piller. That gave Europe 14� points for its first win on American soil in this event since it started in 1990.
And it wasn't even close.
Charley Hull, the 17-year-old teenager and the youngest player in Solheim Cup history, capped off her amazing week by demolishing Paula Creamer in a match that set the tone for Europe. Carlota Ciganda of Spain handed Morgan Pressel her first loss in singles in four appearances to go 3-0 for the week.
Not even a one-hour lightning delay dampened this European celebration. Suzann Pettersen was lining up her putt on the 16th hole when she heard the cheers from the 18th, got the news and began pumping her first.
Europe still trails, 8-5, in the competition, but this was the first time it has won back-to-back.
Wyndham Championship: In the span of a couple of strokes, Patrick Reed went from almost certain disaster to his first PGA Tour victory.
Reed won his first title, beating Jordan Spieth with a most improbable birdie on the second hole of a playoff in Greensboro, N.C.
Reed recovered from a drive on the par-4 10th that came a few feet from going out of bounds and stopped in some pine needles in the woods near a television cable.
Reed pulled out his 7-iron, uncorked a baseball swing from an uphill lie and sent the ball under a tree branch — yet away from the tree trunk — to land his second shot 7 feet from the pin.
''It was the best shot of my life, that's for sure,'' Reed said.
Spieth, who called it "one of the best shots I've ever witnessed," had reached the green in two strokes, but his 10-foot birdie putt trickled wide of the cup.
Reed then sank his short birdie putt that "felt like it was 40" feet to end it.
Dick's Sporting Goods Open: Bart Bryant became the 1,000th tournament champion on the Champions Tour.
Bryant, who shot a tournament record-tying 10-under 62 in the second round, completed his first victory on the senior tour with a closing 72 and finished at 16-under 200 to beat Russ Cochran and Corey Pavin by one shot in Endicott, N.Y.
Cochran closed with a 67, and Pavin shot 69.
Duffy Waldorf shot 69, and Gene Sauers had a 67 to finish in a tie for fourth, another shot back.
First-round leader Kenny Perry shot a 68 to tie for seventh at 12 under. He was one shot better than Bernhard Langer and extended his lead over Langer in the Charles Schwab Cup standings.
News Sentinel Open: Peter Malnati won the News Sentinel Open for his first Web.com Tour title, birdieing five of the last seven holes for a one-stroke victory in Knoxville, Tenn.
Malnati, a former University of Missouri player from Dandridge, Tenn., closed with a 5-under 65 for a 16-under 268 total at Fox Den Country Club. He earned $99,000.

Barnes scores twice to send Dynamo past Dempsey, Sounders
Clint Dempsey got the hoopla. Giles Barnes got the goals. That's exactly how the Dynamo drew it up.
Barnes scored twice in the first half Saturday night to lead the Dynamo to a 3-1 victory over Seattle at sold out BBVA Compass Stadium. The Dynamo (10-7-6) have won four of their last six.
Barnes' first multi-goal game in the MLS spoiled the Texas homecoming of Dempsey, the U.S. National Team captain who hails from Nacogdoches.
Dempsey signed with Seattle on Aug. 3. The Sounders (10-8-4) paid England's Tottenham Hotspur a $9 million transfer fee. Saturday was Dempsey's first MLS start since 2006 when he played for the New England Revolution.
While Dempsey has the bigger name, Barnes had the bigger game on Saturday. His strikes in the 17th and 21st minutes - his fifth and sixth this season - gave the Dynamo control
in the early going.
"We came out of the blocks flying," Barnes said. "It's important to get a good start when we're at home. Getting the two goals early kind of knocked a little bit of wind out of them."
Will Bruin, who scored in the second half, got the assist on Barnes' first goal. He found space in the penalty area but had to knock it toward the end line to get away from the charging goalkeeper.
Bruin kicked it back to Barnes, who was closely marked. Barnes beat the defender toward the center of the penalty area and hit a screaming shot to the far post.
Barnes hit his next shot even harder. After receiving a pass from Brad Davis about 30 yards from the net, Barnes connected with his right foot and beat the goalkeeper high at the near post.
Even without the goals the Dynamo would have been the more dangerous side before halftime. When they had the ball they looked to move forward. When they lost the ball they tracked it down.
"The first 30 minutes were probably the best 30 minutes we've played this year," coach Dominic Kinnear said. "I thought we looked excellent."
The momentum changed in the second half when Seattle brought more pressure.
The Sounders had seven shots in the first half, but got three in the first eight minutes after halftime. None of them were on target, and the Dynamo withstood the initial attack.
The Dynamo turned it around for 10 minutes, but Seattle pulled within one on Shalrie Joseph's header in the 65th minute. He connected on a Marc Burch free kick into a crowded penalty area.
The Dynamo's three points were in danger for a short time before Bruin scored to make it, 3-1. Warren Creavalle missed from close range off the cross bar. Davis got the rebound and scored his second assist of the game when he set up Bruin. Bruin touched it twice toward the
center of the penalty area before finding space for his shot.
"Our goals came down to great second effort," Kinnear said. "Second effort can lead to some great rewards and it did tonight."
The Dynamo will travel to Trinidad and Tobago Sunday for a CONCACAF Champions League match against W Connection on Tuesday. Their next MLS game is Saturday at Montreal.

Philips Smart TV is not Samsung Smart TV. LG also uses the term "Smart TV", but you won't find it there, either.
Yes, that's my real age
just want to say thank so much for this, i own a samsung smart tv (UN46D8000-YFXZA) and this app works really well, after using the app on my ps3 (even after the patch) i prefer much more the one on my samsung smart tv, it delivers a constant quality (which looks acceptable) and there is no lag or freezings.
just keep this good quality of app on this platform, i'm exciting waiting for the the 720/1080p support with Spanish subs.
domo arigatou (^-^)
I'll have to figure out how to use it too

FYI all, if you have a Samsung Blu-ray player then you get Smart TV. The BD player costs way less then a TV so if you are worried about cash then there are alternatives. ^^
That being said, thank you Crunchyroll! This makes me super happy.
You are awesome for pointing this out. Can finally justify keeping my membership and watching it on my bluray player. Been using my phone's HDMI and the Crunchyroll app and that gets really annoying.
Thanks to the CR crew. Been waiting for this for a while.
Samsung's app is restricted to a VERY few select devices. Was this Crunchyroll's doing to control their brand or was this something that Samsung did?
My devices are too high of a model to support it on the blu-ray side and my tv is just before the smart tv change over. I hope that something is configured for all the other devices that are capable of streaming the media to be able to use it.
I'm on so brace yourself!
Signed up due to this app!
Get 720p/1080p support out and I'll be handing my money over no questions asked!
Good news. I will download it !
Welcome to view my blog -- blog.ezparity.com
how do I get the subtitles to show on my videos? Everything works fine and I love the app but I can't see any subtitles? If anyone can walk me through the process that would be great because I have no idea what they are saying?
My question is if it's been released for Australian owners of Samsung smart tvs?
I hope so. Would love to watch it on my tv

Are the subtitles missing on older episodes, or are you only watching simulcasts right after they are released?
If the latter, keep in mind that the subtitles don't show up on most app releases until sometime later. (7 hours is supposed to be the maximum).
If that isn't the source of your problem, bring this up again in the Samsung TV topic in the Help/Support/Feedback section of the forum.
Yes, that's my real age
I just got a Samsung TV, and I'm so excited, I managed to get Crunchyroll to work! The only thing is, the video seems to stop an awful lot to do some "loading." I'm guessing this means there are buffering issues, which I've had occasionally while watching online, just not this often. I hope it's just my internet connection at the moment and that it clears up, because I'm looking forward to finally watching CR while curled up on my couch.
i bought a samsung bluray player (BD-E5900) to see crunchyroll on my tv but there is no apps for crunchyroll. I live in Canada. I'm not a premium member yet. Do I need to be a premium member to see the apps or do i need to download it. Please help me.

5 Rochester Rhino fans Going to the U.S. match vs Mexico on
the 10th and was hoping someone could answer a few
questions I have:
Best soccer Bars to hang out in the night before the match?
Best place to park game day?-Trying to get out fast as I can,
driving to Vegas after the match. Futbal, Football!
I went to a few Galaxy games when they first played there and
before that, went to all the 1994 MWC matches played there,
(except the final). I remember parking on the golf course for
those games. (But that was before cell phones!) yes, I am old.
Galaxy matches didn't have trouble finding parking spots.
Thanking in advance for any help.

Lucky Baldwins in Pasadena is a soccer bar with a great beer selection.
As far as parking, I've never tried it before but for this game I'm thinking of taking a
shuttle from Old Town Pasadena to the game:
"Parking is also available at the Parsons� complex parking lot in Pasadena. Access to
parking is off of Fair Oaks Avenue in Pasadena, CA. From this area a round trip shuttle
service is available to the Rose Bowl Stadium�s Lot B. Shuttle service to the stadium begins
three (3) hours prior to the start of the event or kick-off. The shuttle service runs
continuously until about one hour after the end of the event or game. Please check the event
page for which you are attending for pricing and availability. "

I still have issues with suspending in Ubuntu 7.10 (for me, it suspends successfully, but it gives a black screen on restore. Some others on the Phoronix forums say they can't even suspend successfully.) Also, like Catalyst 7.12, vlc seems to go haywire. Your mileage may vary.*
- What's your kernel version?
- Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic (Ubuntu 7.10 is up to date so latest stock kernel. I should note that this isn't a clean Ubuntu install; however I haven't done anything too radical.)
On kubuntu 7.10 I experienced an unmet dependency with this driver (8.01) during installation. Creating the deb-files, installing them and executing
module-assistant build fglrx
resulted in
in /usr/src/, where I would have expected
(since all other deb-files contained the serial-no. 8.452.1)
Additionally, in
- fglrx-kernel-220.127.116.11_8.433-1+126.96.36.199fm_i386.deb
- control.tar.gz
- control (line 7)
- control.tar.gz
I found
Depends: xorg-driver-fglrx (= 8.433-1)
what failed of course, trying sudo module-assistant install fglrx since the current version is 8.45. Changing it manually to ..(>= 8.433-1) solved the problem. Maybe this helps other guys, who experience the same problem. I also opened a ticket on the fglrx-bugzilla. FMayer 13:28, 9 February 2008 (CST)
What a joy to find such clear thinking. Thnkas for posting!

While the NFL generally avoided the alarming off-field episodes that plagued it a year ago, the product on the field rarely was memorable.
Except when officials were making incorrect calls, perhaps. Or when a standout receiver was losing control and drawing three personal fouls (and a subsequent suspension). Or when the Packers got even for the "Fail Mary" of a few years back with their own desperation throw on the final play to beat Detroit.
There were plenty of award-winning incidents and performers to fill up the Offbeat Awards, though. Here they are:

New Mexico Marriage Equality Plaintiff Dies Of Brain Cancer
One of the plaintiffs in New Mexico's current same-sex marriage case, 44-year-old Jennifer Neuman-Roper, died on Friday after a battle with brain cancer.
The Alberquerque Journal writes:
Jen and Angelique Neuman-Roper of Nambe were married in August during an impromptu ceremony in the lobby of the Christus St. Vincent Cancer Center in Santa Fe, the same day a judge granted their request and ordered the Santa Fe County clerk to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. They made their urgent request because Jen Neuman-Roper had Stage 4 glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.
They married again in October, this time in a more formal ceremony in Pojoaque attended by many family and friends.
Upon her passing, Jen Neuman-Roper was the first person to be issued a New Mexico certificate of death that acknowledged a surviving same-sex spouse, according to a news release issued today by the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico.
Jennifer's battle with cancer spurred her and her wife Angelique to press the court for permission for them to marry. Her passing further drives home how important it is that same-sex relationships be equally, recognized.
Jennifer is survived by her mother, wife Angelique, and three sons, Jayms, David, and Damion.
Glad to hear that they were able to be married before the passing of one of them. Being in a similar situation and where I live in the US, I was not able to marry my partner of 20 some odd years, with him recently passing away, none of the decisions made were ones that we discussed, simply because under the family(s) view, I don't have any legal rights. We never got Power of Attorney for each other simply because we never thought that one of us would out survive the other. The statement that was made when we were in the planning stages of his Funeral plans were, " You Don't have any of what you say in writing, therefore in court you would have no rights!" , this coming from his family members that knew both of us and the fact that we were in a committed relationship. Lesson learned, No Matter what your Ideas and wishes are, if you don't have it documented now, it can and certainly will come back and bite you in the end..

LONDON (AP) — Staff at the News of the World tabloid told police that they had listened to the voicemails of a missing 13-year-old nine years before the revelation became public and shook Rupert Murdoch's media empire, police employees said Tuesday.
In a statement read out at the phone-hacking trial of former News of the World editors, Detective Sgt. Kevin McEntee of Surrey Police said managing editor Stuart Kuttner told him in 2002 that the newspaper had heard a message left for Milly Dowler, who had been abducted was later found murdered.
Kuttner urged police to follow up on information in the message as they searched for the girl.
Sarah McGregor, who was then head of communications for Surrey Police, testified that a News of the World reporter also called the force to say the newspaper had Dowler's mobile phone number and the PIN to access her messages.
Police at the time did not investigate the newspaper. The hacking became public in 2011, sparking a scandal that led Murdoch to close the News of the World.
Kuttner, 73, is on trial alongside former News of the World editors Andy Coulson and Rebekah Brooks and five others. All have pleaded not guilty.
Brooks was editor of the tabloid in 2002 when it ran stories based on Dowler's hacked messages, but was on holiday at the time, leaving her deputy, Coulson, in charge.
Prosecutors say both must have known about the eavesdropping, but lawyers for Coulson and Brooks insist they were not aware of it.
The trial at London's Central Criminal Court began last week and is expected to last six months.

An Introduction to Modeling of Transport Processes
Ashim Datta and Vineet Rakesh, Cornell University, New York, USA
Organized around problem solving, this book gently introduces the reader to computational simulation of biomedical transport processes, bridging fundamental theory with real-world applications. Using this book the reader will gain a complete foundation to the subject, starting with problem simplification, implementing it in software, through to interpreting the results, validation, and optimization.
Ten case studies, focusing on emerging areas such as thermal therapy and drug delivery, with easy to follow step-by-step instructions, provide ready-to-use templates for further applications. Solution process using the commonly used tool COMSOL Multiphysics is described in detail; useful biomedical property data and correlations are included; and background theory information is given at the end of the book for easy reference.
A mixture of short and extended exercises make this book a complete course package for undergraduate and beginning graduate students in biomedical and biochemical engineering curricula, as well as a self-study guide.
