For the third consecutive year and fourth time in the past six seasons, HDNet will broadcast the Monon Bell Classic football game between Wabash College and DePauw University live to a national audience.
The 115th Monon Bell Classic will take place Saturday, November 15 at Hollett Little Giant Stadium on the Wabash College campus at 1:05 p.m. The Little Giants hold a 53-52-9 edge in the overall series.
"The Monon Bell Classic is one of the great college rivalries, and we look forward to working with DePauw and Wabash each fall," says Mark Cuban, president and co-founder of HDNet. "After 114 meetings, these two teams are separated by only one victory! As a college football fan, what more could you as for?"
HDNet is the first national television network broadcasting all of its programming in high definition.
"This is a great experience for our players that most other teams in country never get to experience," Wabash head coach Erik Raeburn said. "The atmosphere of having over 11,000 fans in the stadium and knowing that even more are watching on live television should be tremendous."
Raeburn is in his first season as the head coach at Wabash after serving eight years at Coe College.
"I am pleased that HDNet will once again be a part of the Monon Bell rivalry," Wabash Director of Athletics Tom Bambrey said. "Alumni from both schools who are unable to attend the game in person have told us over and over again how much they enjoy gathering across the country to watch the game."
"We're thrilled with both the quality of the presentation and the growing ubiquity of HDNet," says Ken Owen, executive director of media relations at DePauw. "Seeing the game in high definition is the next best thing to standing on the sidelines, and the three prior HDNet treatments of our rivalry game [in 2003, 2006 and 2007] received rave reviews. It's a great partnership."
Monon Bell telecast parties are already being planned for this year's game. Last year alumni gathered in 55 locations to view the game on HDNet. Over 40 sites have already been set for this year with plans taking shape for additional viewing parties to be finalized in the coming weeks.
To receive the game on HDNet, viewers must have an HDTV and high-definition tuner box. Viewers must also subscribe to the highdefinition package offered by their cable or satellite provider. HDNet and HDNet Movies are available on Bright House Networks, Charter Communications, DIRECTV, DISH Network, Insight Communications, Mediacom Communications, Time Warner Cable and many National Cable Television Cooperative (NCTC) cable affiliate companies. Visit HDNet online by clicking here.
Joe Emmick '92 will be back in the booth providing game analysis. Emmick has served as an announcer for all three previous HDNet telecasts. Veteran announcer Kenny Rice will anchor the broadcast. Rice recently served as an equestrian announcer for NBC at the Beijing Olympics and will be handling the play-by-play duties for his fourth Monon Bell Classic. The rest of the broadcast crew will be announced at a later date.
Tickets for the 115th Monon Bell Classic will go on sale in October.

After 78 years without a league title KF Skënderbeu made it two in as many seasons after pipping KS Teuta by a single point with a final-day derby victory against KS Pogradeci.
Champions: KS Skënderbeu
Albania's oldest club claimed their first title in 78 years last season but won their last two games to ensure there was the shortest possible gap between championships on this occasion. Trailing KS Teuta by a point with three games remaining, Skënderbeu were reliant on help from other teams and they duly obliged. Taking a one-point advantage into the final game, two goals from Daniel Xhafa and a penalty from captain Blendi Shkembi ensured the defending champions held off the challenge of Teuta, who kept up the pressure all the way with a 2-1 victory at KS Kastrioti.
Cup final: KF Tirana 1-0 KS Skënderbeu (aet)
KF Tirana won a record-equalling 15th Albanian Cup with a 1-0 defeat denying league champions KS Skënderbeu a domestic double. The game was settled at the start of the second period of extra-time, when Bekim Bala converted Klodian Duro's free-kick with a powerful header.
European Places
KS Skënderbeu - UEFA Champions League second qualifying round
KF Tirana - UEFA Europa League first qualifying round
KS Teuta - UEFA Europa League first qualifying round
KS Flamurtari - UEFA Europa League first qualifying round
Player of the Year: Bekim Bala (KF Tirana)
The 21-year-old prodigy joined Tirana from Gençlerbirliği SK in 2011 and has proved an outstanding and shrewd addition. Considered one of the top prospects in Albanian football, Bala found the net 13 times to finish as Tirana's top goalscorer. A key component in midfield, he proved the man for the big occasion, too, by scoring the decisive goal in the Albanian Cup final.
One to watch: Ariel Shtini (FK Dinamo Tirana)
Appearing in his debut season with Dinamo, the 19-year-old shone with a succession of impressive performances. Displaying maturity beyond his years, Shtini played 22 games in all competitions, scoring three goals. Despite his efforts, Dinamo were relegated, meaning the youngster will be hot property this summer.
Surprise package: KS Teuta
After battling to avoid relegation last year, Teuta surprised all comers this season. Hasan Lika's charges started strongly and had streaked to the league summit by the winter break, five points clear of second-placed Tirana and six clear of Skënderbeu, in third. Despite collecting a further 24 points after the break – eight less then they had mustered in the first half of the season – the coastal side finished runners-up to Skënderbeu by a point with their best campaign since the end of the 2006-07 season when they also finished runners-up.
Leading Scorer: Roland Dervishi, KS Shkumbini (20)
Relegated: FK Dinamo Tirana, KS Pogradeci, KS Kamza
Promoted: KS Luftëtari, KF Përparimi Kukës, KS Besa
Number: 26
For the first time in nearly a decade the Albanian Super League comprised of just 26 matches.
"I am in heaven. I have won a title, the first of my career. I come from the Czech Republic where I thought football was big. I was wrong, because in city of Korca they eat, breath and live football." Stanislav Levý after leading Skënderbeu to the title.

More About The Drawing Studio
The Drawing Studio was selected for Willamette Week Magazine's best of Portland issue for 2014. In its article, Willamette Week wrote:
"Phil Sylvester is the freedom fighter of the Portland art world. For more than 30 years, Sylvester has taken people who believe they are imprisoned by their utter lack of artistic talent and showed them how to smash their chains. Sylvester—who studied math at Reed College and architecture at Princeton University—discovered early in his own art career the need to subvert the logic of formal drawing techniques. At his school, The Drawing Studio (3614 SE Division St., drawingstudio.net), Sylvester teaches his students to reject the preciousness of a finished work and instead savor the joy of the act of drawing. The student works that do emerge from the two-hour intro sessions are not mere sketches by artists in training. They are bold and whimsical, risky and searching—proof of the creative vigor within all of us, and of Sylvester's gift for letting it run free." - Brent Walth

Action Research
David P. Moxley
Through cycles of systematic and purposeful iterative engagement with problems they face in specific practice settings, social workers engaging in action research build knowledge that is useful in advancing practice for the purposes of social betterment. This entry situates action research in the development of social-work knowledge and then examines variants of action research formed when degrees of participation and control vary among members of vulnerable populations, particularly within community situations involving coping with a degraded quality of life. The author identifies the importance of methodological pluralism and addresses how sound action research results in knowledge dissemination and utilization for the purposes of social betterment, often through alternative methods of inquiry. The entry concludes with caveats social workers engaged in action research should heed, and the author emphasizes the pivotal role social work can serve in local efforts to engage in knowledge development for social betterment.
Advanced Statistical Analysis
Shenyang Guo
Definitions of what constitutes advanced statistical analysis often differ among social-work researchers and across disciplines. In this article, the term advanced statistical analysis refers to advanced models increasingly applied to social-work research that help address important research questions. Because contemporary statistical models fully rely on the maximum likelihood (ML) estimator, this article begins with an overview of ML that serves as a foundation for understanding advanced statistical analysis. Following the overview, the article describes six categories of analytic methods that are important in confronting a broad range of issues in social-work research (that is, hierarchical linear modeling, survival analysis, structural equation modeling, propensity score analysis, missing data imputation, and other corrective methods for causal inference such as instrumental variable approach and regression discontinuity designs). These analytic methods are used to address research issues such as generating knowledge for evidence-based practices; evaluating intervention effectiveness in studies that use an experimental or quasi-experimental design; assessing clients' problems, well-being, and outcome changes over time; and discerning the effects of policies.
Agency-Based Research
Irwin Epstein and Stephen A. Kapp
This entry reviews agency-based research and the unique demands created by the organizational context where this activity resides. Three primary stakeholder groups are identified: administrators and program managers, supervisors, and direct service workers and clinicians. Possible uses of agency-based research by each of the respective stakeholder groups are described. Finally, the role of service consumers in agency-based research is discussed.
Aging: Practice Interventions
Lenard W. Kaye
Social workers address older adult issues at all levels of service planning, policy-making, and delivery and across a wide range of community and institutional settings. While various models of practice intervention with older adults exist, more recently the focus is on the integration of micro and macro strategies with an emphasis on strength-based perspectives to geriatric social work practice. The older adult population will expand dramatically and become increasingly culturally, racially, and ethnically diverse in the future and social work services will need to be sensitive to the variety of issues faced by a more heterogeneous and sophisticated older adult population.
Alcohol and Drug Problems: Practice Interventions
Maryann Amodeo and Luz Marilis López
This entry focuses on practice interventions for working with families and individuals including behavioral marital therapy, transitional family therapy, and the developmental model of recovery, as well as motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy, relapse prevention training, and harm reduction therapy. A commonality in these intervention frameworks is their view of the therapeutic work in stages—from active drinking and drug use, to deciding on change, to movement toward change and recovery. We also identify skills that equip social work practitioners to make a special contribution to alcohol and other drug (AOD) interventions and highlight factors to consider in choosing interventions.
There are a range of practice interventions for clients with AOD problems based on well-controlled research.
Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementias
Carole B. Cox
Dementia is not a disease, but a group of symptoms so severe that they inhibit normal functioning. Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia in older persons impacting not only the person with the illness but the entire family. Obtaining an accurate diagnosis is essential in order to assure appropriate and timely care and to exclude reversible causes of dementia. Social workers can play key roles throughout the course of the illness as educators, therapists, supporter and advocates for improved policies and services.
Catheleen Jordan and Cynthia Franklin
Assessment is an ongoing process of data collection aimed at identifying client strengths and problems. Early assessment models were based on psychoanalytic theory; however, current assessment is based on brief, evidence-based practice models. Both quantitative and qualitative methods may be used to create an integrative skills approach that links assessment to intervention. Specifically, assessment guides treatment planning, as well as informs intervention selection and monitoring.
Asset Building Toward Inclusive Policy
Michael Sherraden, Lissa Johnson, Margaret M. Clancy, Sondra G. Beverly, Margaret Sherrard Sherraden, Mark Schreiner, William Elliot III, Trina R. Williams Shanks, Deborah Adams, Jami Curley, Jin Huang, Michal Grinstein-Weiss, Yunju Nam, Min Zhan, and Chang-Keun Han
Since 1991, a new policy discussion has arisen in the United States and other countries, focusing on building assets as a complement to traditional social policy based on income. In fact, asset-based policy already existed (and still exists) in the United States, with large public subsidies. But the policy is regressive, benefiting the rich far more than the poor. The goal should be a universal, progressive, and lifelong asset-based policy. One promising pathway may be Child Development Accounts beginning at birth, with greater public deposits for the poorest children. If every child had an account, then eventually this could grow into a universal public policy across the life course.
Bullying in Youth
Jonathan Singer and Karen Slovak
Bullying is the most common form of violence in schools and has been shown to disrupt the emotional and social development of both the targets and the perpetrators of bullying (Raskauskas & Stoltz, 2007). Bullying can be physical, verbal, relational, and direct or indirect. There are well-established age and sex trends (Olweus, 1993; Smith, Madsen, & Moody, 1999). There has been considerable research on bullying-prevention programs and scholarship on best-practice guidelines for school social workers (Dupper, 2013). An emerging concern is with the use of electronic and Internet devices in bullying, referred to as "cyberbullying." In this article we define bullying and cyberbullying; discuss risk factors associated with being a bully, a victim, and a bully-victim; describe prevention and intervention programs; and discuss emerging trends in both bullying and cyberbullying.
Chaos Theory and Complexity Theory
Keith Warren
Chaos theory and complexity theory, collectively known as nonlinear dynamics or dynamical systems theory, provide a mathematical framework for thinking about change over time. Chaos theory seeks an understanding of simple systems that may change in a sudden, unexpected, or irregular way. Complexity theory focuses on complex systems involving numerous interacting parts, which often give rise to unexpected order. The framework that encompasses both theories is one of nonlinear interactions between variables that give rise to outcomes that are not easily predictable. This entry provides a nonmathematical introduction, discussion of current research, and references for further reading.

Seattle, WA (USA) -- With "Vajra Sky Over Tibet," director John Bush completes the trilogy he undertook in 2001. The first two films explored the lost Buddhist traditions of Southeast Asia. This final installment covers Tibetan history since the Chinese communist takeover in 1959.
Although an informative look at government destruction of a country's religion, the film is less than the "thunderbolt of awakening" implied by the title.
There is a lot of history to be learned here, but the teaching is so slow paced that the most alert student may fall into a stupor by the end of class. The three narrators, Tenzin L. Choegyal, nephew to the Dali Lama, singer Dadon and the director himself, speak in slow, condescending phrases. The music, a harmonic chant score by David Hykes, is as tiring as the repetitive images of prayer wheels and mandalas.
Before the communists outlawed all forms of religion, Tibet was the largest Buddhist country in the world. Since 1959, more than 100,000 Tibetans have made the dangerous trek across the Himalayas to India, where they can continue their religious practices. Those who remain feel the separation from traditions and the emptiness of the future.
The movie has a general mood of regret for the end of a spiritual era, but does not explain the communist motivations for its war on religion.
Official Website: http://www.vajrasky.com/
Midway through the film, Bush changes tactics to show the government appropriating, rather than outright destroying, the Buddhist institutions. He shows how the wisdom cult has been compromised by government takeover of the monasteries, where monastic training continues, but to no apparent purpose. His cameras then explore the rural areas where, under less government control than the cities, Dharmic communities have been formed to compensate for the decline of the monasteries.
Bush fails to investigate the many disappearances of Buddhist civilizations in the modern world with any depth. Instead, he cites examples such as the new Chinese rail that connects Tibet to China as the reason for worries over the continued cultural survival of Buddhist traditions.
Provoking more ideas than it presents, "Vajra Sky Over Tibet" is a sketchy introduction to a fascinating subject.

text: Major Storm Denting Drought on the Plains February 21, 2013 01:00 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By AgWeb.com Editors Email On the Plains, a major winter storm is denting drought but causing travel disruptions and an increase in livestock stress,according to USDA's Joint Ag Weather Facility. The most significant snow is falling across the central Plains, while mixed precipitation (snow, sleet, freezing rain, and rain) is affecting the southern Plains. Gusty easterly winds accompany the snow. Early-morning snow depths included 9 inches in Wichita, Kansas, and 3 inches in Enid, Oklahoma. In the West, cool weather covers the region in the wake of a departing storm. A few snow showers linger across the central and southern Rockies and the Southwest. In the Corn Belt, cold, dry weather prevails in advance of an approaching storm. Frozen precipitation is just starting to overspread the southwestern Corn Belt, including parts of Missouri. In the South, an ice storm is affecting the Ozark Plateau, including southern Missouri and northern Arkansas. Elsewhere, rain showers are developing in the western Gulf Coast region, while dry weather prevails in the Southeast. Weather Outlook Cold weather will continue to dominate the nation into early next week, especially across the western two-thirds of the U.S. Meanwhile, a developing storm system over the south-central U.S. will drift northeastward, reaching the Great Lakes region late in the week. Snow will blanket areas from the central Plains into the upper Midwest and Northeast, while ice accumulations can be expected from the Mid-South into the lower Great Lakes region and the northern Mid-Atlantic States. Along the storm's trailing cold front, heavy showers and locally severe thunderstorms will sweep from the southern Plains into the Southeast. Toward week's end, a new storm system will produce widespread precipitation from the Pacific Northwest to the Rockies. Snow will return to portions of the Plains early next week, while additional rain will fall across the South. Five-day rainfall totals (through Monday) could reach 2 to 8 inches from the central Gulf Coast to the Carolinas. The NWS 6- to 10-day outlook for February 26 – March 2 calls for near- to below-normal temperatures nationwide, except for warmer-than-normal weather across much of the nation's northern tier. Meanwhile, below-normal precipitation from California to the High Plains will contrast with wetter-than-normal conditions in the Pacific Northwest, the Great Lakes region, and the Atlantic Coast States.

Sous Vide
Take the plunge and let warm waters intensify every cookbook recipe you've ever aced. There is no other method of cooking that brings out the tenderness and flavor of fresh foods like when using sous vide equipment from Williams-Sonoma. If you've had a steak or duck breast cooked sous vide, then you know. If not, you should know just how melt-in-your-mouth exquisite your proteins can be. If you have no idea what sous vide cooking is, imagine a vacuum-sealed tenderloin filet soaking in a simmering container of circulating, moderately hot water. This action is accomplished by a tool like the Polyscience Sous Vide Professional Immersion Circulator that's a sort of wand dipping into the bath to warm and recirculate the water. It's a precision instrument that monitors and adjusts the temperature to keep the bath at your chosen cooking temperature. The wand or water can't remove any juices or grain from the beef as the low heat cooks the outer edges gently. The taste and bite of filet mignon cooked sous vide is like eating the purest, most pampered beef.
After you remove your tender filet from the pouch, you can sear the sides on a hot grill or griddle and add any seasoning or spices you'd like to caramelize on the surface. The result is a gourmet filet done to order on the inside and finished with time-tested high heat on the outside. This is how sous vide is done, although not all foods will be finished on the grill.
You have your choice of immersion units including the Polyscience Professional Creative Series unit that clips onto a stockpot or basin of clean water. It can monitor temps to a 10th of a degree and has a large LCD screen to let you see the progress of your sous vide session. Have a clean, dedicated set of kitchen shears to open your sous vide pouches when the immersion tool is done and then finish your dish as desired. Tamales, fish, eggs and other proteins cook up moist and packed with flavor when thoroughly sealed and given the sous vide treatment.
The Sensaire Sous Vide Machine is another unit that works in a stockpot or bucket. It has a cylindrical shape and a bright blue display and also reads temperatures to 0.1 degrees Fahrenheit. Use it for cooking seafood like salmon and trout or try poaching the perfect egg. You can even use the sous vide machine to pasteurize some foods. Polyscience and Sensaire sous vide machines feature tough pumps that run on the quiet side, and they're easy to maintain, calibrate and operate.
You don't have to have a vacuum sealer to cook sous vide, although the two words in French do mean "under vacuum." The nice thing about a vacuum-sealed cooking pouch is the food safety aspect. You'll have to introduce your utensils into the bath from time to time. When placing and managing your food pouches you know when you poke your tongs around in the bath you're possibly introducing germs that can flourish in the warm water. A properly sealed steak or bunch of baby carrots won't be contaminated by the water bath and the water bath won't be contaminated by the meat or other food. The second great reason to use vacuum sealing is the way food juices intensify when they are forced to interact with each other in a small, sealed space. Sublime is one word for the essences of foods brought out by sous vide culinary technology.
Polyscience offers three different vacuum sealers from the modest 150 Series External Sealer to the 300 Series Unit used by professional chefs. The Caso VC300 Vacuum Sealer has a dry and moist function to protect more delicate food and an adjustable timed seal for marinated foods. Polyscience offers rolled and single-vacuum cooking bags and Caso offers a pair of vacuum bag rolls that you cut to length. If you want to create other foods including sides and legumes we offer other quality slow cookers including rice cookers and slow cookers.

Cowboys Coach Jason Garrett's Father Dies At 87
By Bill Strange
February 12, 2018
The Cowboys lost a longtime member of their family Friday evening with the passing of Jim Garrett, who spent more than 16 years in the team's scouting department.— Dallas Cowboys (@dallascowboys) February 10, 2018
📝 https://t.co/IxLElrHQc4 pic.twitter.com/9e7dz21MpW
The father of Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett is dead at the age of 87. Jim Garrett, who worked as a scout for the Cowboys from 1987-through-2004, died Friday after battling the effects of a stroke since 2012. Garrett also coached in the NFL with the Giants, Saints, and Browns and scouted for Dallas in two other stints in the late sixties and mid-seventies.
Garrett is survived by his wife, eight children, 28 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.

Inextricably linked with the Central California garden spot of Santa Barbara, Isla Vista, is the students' corner of the city. The densely packed unincorporated area of less than two square miles is inhabited largely by college kids from UC Santa Barbara or Santa Barbara City College.
As opposed to the opulent homes that have garnered Santa Barbara acclaim, most of Isla Vista is made up of apartments. The most recent U.S. Census says 84 percent of the town lives in multiunit dwellings — fraternity houses, student housing, shared apartments.
As is often the case in college towns, its streets frequently teem with revelers, and on weekends or special events, the population of some 23,000 can grow to the hundreds of thousands.
The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department notes the beachside community accounts for roughly 7 percent of the county's population yet close to 25 percent of its serious crime, including burglary, robbery, grand theft and sexual assault.
In the wake of Friday night's mass shooting by a drive-by gunman, which left six people and the suspected perpetrator dead and seven others wounded, the town is forced to remember a previous driver-initiated mass killing in their midst.
In 2001, 19-year-old David Attias, the son of a Hollywood director and also once a student at UC Santa Barbara, ran over five people in Isla Vista, proclaiming, "I am the angel of death." He was found guilty by reason of insanity the following year and sent to Patton State Hospital.
UC Santa Barbara administrators made grief counselors available Saturday for students.

Some preliminary tests are showing that users can pop an AT&T or T-Mobile SIM card into a Verizon-branded iPhone 5, and you can get HSPA+ service as normal (assuming, of course, the GSM SIM is active). This is great news for T-Mobile customers that worried about having to unlock the SIM slot on their shiny new iPhone 5, as well as frequent flyers that regularly swap out SIM cards for local service. You can always shave down your own nano SIM cards, though it's generally not recommended.
Hopefully this will last, since the Sprint iPhone 4S launched with an unlocked SIM slot, but shortly after, they started locking it down again (though later offered unlocking to customers in good standing).
Anyone intend on swapping their SIM cards around a lot, or are you happy with your carrier? Did you end up signing a new contract when picking up your iPhone 5, or did you buy yours outright? If this is a limited-time deal, are you more tempted to get an iPhone 5 while the SIM slots are still unlocked?

Saturday afternoon in a doubleheader at Draper Diamond, both teams prevailed with the Lady Bisons winning game two 9-6 after dropping game one 2-1.
Kellie Sirus provided much of the offensive punch for the Lady Bisons with four hits and four RBI in game two. It was the second time this season she has driven in four runs. She had four hits for the first time this season.
Game two did not get off to a promising start for the Lady Bisons. They spotted Campbell four runs off of home runs by Robin Leathers, Katie Hinton and Karlie Love in the first with starting pitcher Alaina Jacobson giving way to Whitney Kiihnl. The freshman, who pitched a complete game in game one, struck out 12 of the first 15 batters she faced. She had 14 strikeouts in 6.2 innings, a team season high and a career high.
The Lady Bisons responded with three runs in the third inning. With two outs Lauren Dortwegt singled trhough the right side. Courtney Billington doubled to left center to bring in Dortwegt. Sirus singled to send Billington across the plate. Abby Keese singled to drive in Sirus.
In the fourth inning the Lady Bisons took control of the game with five runs. A double by Sirus drove in two runs.
In the sixth Courtney Billington doubled. Sirus drove Billington home with a double.
Kihnl is 10-5 for the season, winning game two and losing game one.
In game one Campbell opened the first inning with a run. Leathers singled through the left side of the field to start the game. Hinton struck out swinging as Leathers stole second. Love then doubled to left field to bring in Leathers.
In the fifth Campbell would add what proved to be the game winner as Leathers hit a solo home run with two outs.
The Lady Bisons missed a key opportunity to score in the fifth. Megan Rottler and Mackenzie Tucker led off with back-to-back walks. Lauren Dortwegt loaded the bases with a bunt single. The Lady Bisons failed in three attempts to bring a runner across the plate.
In the seventh the Lady Bisons tried to mount a rally. Tucker was safe on an error by Campbell's shortstop. Dortwegt and Courtney Billington each grounded out, but Tucker moved to third base. Tucker scored on a wild pitch. Kellie Sirus walked, but was thrown out at second as Abby Keese hit a grounder to the shortstop.
Kiihnl went the distance for the Lady Bisons. She gave up seven hits and the two runs, both earned. She struck out eight and walked one .
Campbell used three pitchers in the game. Brittany Stanley, 9-3, picked up the win. Katie Woodcock pitched one-third of an inning to earn the save.
Dortwegt and Campbell each had two hits for the Lady Bisons. Campbell had a double, the Lady Bisons only extra base hit.
The Lady Bisons are 23-8, 4-2 in the A-Sun. Campbell is 25-11, 10-4 in the conference.

Innovating to Cure
Three Grinnell alumni scientists representing 40 years of the College's history recently told an audience of fellow alums about research in curing diseases such as autism and obesity—and about how entrepreneurs are moving that research into clinical product development.
Lorrie Buchanan Alves '73, who works in law, and Paul Patterson '65, a biological sciences professor at the California Institute of Technology, organized the event. It featured:
- Patterson, who wrote a book (Infectious Behaviors) that explores the link between the immune system and mental disorders; he is working to develop a clinical study that could lead to a diagnosis for mental disorders like autism, for which no new effective medications are available.
- Shenda Baker '85, president of Los Angeles-based biotech medical company Synedgen and also a chemistry professor on leave of absence from Harvey Mudd College. Synedgen wants to develop medications that treat infectious bacteria.
- Alok Shah '04, who co-founded Emmyon Inc. in Iowa City, Iowa, last year after he earned a doctorate in molecular and cellular biology from the University of Iowa. During his last months of graduate work, he discovered that ursolic acid, found in the skin of green apples, may reverse metabolic diseases such as muscle atrophy, obesity, and diabetes.
Fifty-five people — mostly Grinnell alumni — attended the scientists' 30-minute talks on how research can move therapies into the clinical stage. They had a decidedly entrepreneurial bent.
"I'm not a business person, I'm a scientist," Shah says. Yet he decided the best way to maximize his finding's potentially huge impact was to start a company, learning issues such as fundraising and payroll to eventually bring a treatment to market. "In Paul's generation," Shah says, "Starting a company would be selling out."
Times have changed, partly because websites such as Kickstarter make financing entrepreneurial efforts easier and more democratic. Baker sees another shift: Big drug companies are funding less original research, so startups must fill the void.
"Entrepreneurs are not going to Wall Street and joining a big company," Baker says. "Entrepreneurship is going out and doing something that you think is worthwhile." —Matt Blake '04

Lost Opportunity: Junior League closes Mall shop
For 60 years, the Junior League's Opportunity Shop has offered second-hand clothes for lower income or just plain thrifty shoppers. But the shop's closing April 30 will force its patrons to look elsewhere for any "gently used" Gucci or out-of-date Armani.
Opened in 1932 by the University League (the local women's organization that affiliated with the Junior League in 1981), the Shop, says League spokesperson Kelly Seamen, had three purposes: to provide quality clothing at inexpensive prices; to be a source of income to consigners; and to serve as a fundraiser for the League.
When the store ceased to be a viable source of funds for the League's community service projects, Seamen says, it was time to close.
But why after so many years would the store stop making money?
Another League spokesperson, Christy Wenzel, notes that the Mall, the town's bricked pedestrian walkway, has increasingly drawn an upscale clientele.
Stores like O'Suzannah, where dresses can run as much as $500, and Yves Delormé (formerly Palais Royale), where 300-thread-count sheets can cost several hundred dollars, may have discouraged lower-income shoppers from coming to the Downtown Mall to shop.
"It was difficult to compete with some of the higher-end stores," says Wenzel.
Couple that with the fact that these days new clothing is available for a lot less money than it used to cost.
"You can get a new t-shirt at Old Navy for $5," says Wenzel, a fact particularly important to parents. "Especially with kids," she explains, "people want new clothes."
And Suzanne Aller, a local elementary school teacher, says that's true. She says that when her kids were small, she bought most of their clothing at the Op Shop. That ended eventually, she says, as some of the clothes "didn't suit" her increasingly choosey growing children. Now that the children are in high school, and since the purchases couldn't be returned, Aller took the opportunity to shop elsewhere, though she still made occasional visits for herself.
"I'm sorry to see it go," she says.
For those who share Aller's sentiment, the bad news is tempered, at least for the moment, by the steep savings the Op Shop is offering now through its closing day.
Wenzel says that the store has plenty of quality inventory that will be aggressively sold using the so-called "Dutch Auction" method made famous at Boston's Filene's basement (and locally at The Consignment House). In other words, prices will be slashed again and again as closing day approaches.
Besides its clothes, the shop's front windows had long served as a prominent showcase for the League's annual Darden Towe Park-based duck race fund-raiser, Quackin' for a Cause. Since the League owns the Mall building, assessed at $255,300, those yellow duckies will still have a place to roost this summer, at least, while the building's fate is considered.Read more on: junior league

NEW ORLEANS – The Cotton Research and Promotion program, facing "difficult legal challenges," is "crucial to maintaining growth in cotton demand," the chairman of the National Cotton Council said at the Beltwide Cotton Conferences today.
The program, funded by checkoff contributions from U.S. cotton growers and by assessments on importers, supports the highly successful research and promotion efforts of Cotton Incorporated and has been instrumental in boosting cotton's market share domestically and internationally.
"As a direct result of our efforts, the U.S. leads the world in per capita consumption of cotton products," says Colorado City, Texas producer Woody Anderson. "We know the value of this research and promotion program. We are the cotton market of the world, and our annual consumption of cotton textile and apparel products exceeds our own level of cotton production."
The industry "is taking a direct role" in defending the program against current legal challenges, says Anderson, who also serves on the board of the Cotton Research and Promotion Defense Council that is overseeing the efforts.
"It will be a difficult case, given recent court decisions, but I'm confident we will be successful."
The council is continuing to work closely with other commodity and farm groups to defend key provision of the current U.S. farm bill, Anderson says. Council testimony before Congress and efforts in meetings with administration officials have been directed toward maintaining "balanced and effective legislation."
While the cotton industry appreciates the way the farm bill has been implemented, he says every effort needs to be made to "keep the farm law intact" through its intended life span.
The council supposed disaster legislation that was adopted as part of the Homeland Security Appropriations bill, but "unfortunately, some of the costs of the $14.5 billion package were offset by reductions in the Conservation Security Program, and the council and other agricultural groups expressed grave concern about reopening the 2002 farm bill." Efforts were also made to insure that the CSP would cover viable commercial-size operations and allow participation of cotton producers in all areas of the belt.

In this talk which was second since last summer, it was a crucial point whether North Korea would show a sincere response to a request from Japan,US and South Korea to seek for a complete,irreversible and verifiable abolition of its nuclear development including enriched uranium. But North Korea didn't recognize the existence of uranium enrichment project which it possibly acquired through Pakistan. Although that was expected, those Pyonyang's response was a pity. It cannot be said that it was a positive response to the abolition of nuclear weapon . Pyonyang obstinately insisted in the days of US-North Korea's framework in 1994 that the black lead reactor for the extraction of plutonium for newclear weapon was only for peace use. It was natural that other five nations didn't agree to the North Korea's request while Pyonyang gave an unclear answer about the enritched uranium. It was proper that Japan/South Korea/US persisted to the principle of the denuclearation. The plan to discuss the nuclear issue in the workshop means harsher diplomatic talks for denuclearation in future. It hasn't changed that the peaceful resolution of the nuclear issue depends on the decision of North Korea. If Pyongyang thinks that it succeeded in postponing the problem, that is a big mistake. In this talk, Pyongyang could obtain nothing in the talks about food, energy aide. In order to solve its issues early, it is the first step that Pyongyang give a clear explanation about the uranium enritchment plan and freeze the plan and dispose them completely. As long as Pyongyang doesn't accept on-site inspection after that, It will never be able to get the aides from other countries. In the sense, continued talks and newly built working group are a few oppotunities for North Korea. If in following discussion in the 6 nation talk and the working group Pyongyang doesn't show positive attitude, the patience of five nations will be exhausted. Regarding the abduction issue which is a serious issue for Japan, the attitude to solve this issue was incorporated with the indirect expression. This shows that the awareness about the abduction issue is spreading further among nations. Either through six nation talks or Japan/North Korea conference, Pyongyang had to show its sincere efforts promptly. The peace and security in not only Japan/North Korea but also whole eastern asia depends on the comprehensive solution of nuclear weapon,abduction and missile issue. It is necessary for Japan/South Korea/US in next talks to maintain their cooperation and solidarity in order to materialize the denuclearation in the Korean peninsula. Pyongyang had to recognize that the further it postpones its decision, the worse its position becomes.

100,000 Morsi backers stage show of force in Egypt
CAIRO (AP) — More than 100,000 supporters of Egypt's Islamist president staged a show of force Friday ahead of massive protests later this month by the opposition, chanting "Islamic revolution!" and warning of a new and bloody bout of turmoil.
Adding to the combustible mix, comments by the U.S. ambassador that were interpreted as critical of the opposition's planned protests sparked outrage, with one activist telling the diplomat to "shut up and mind your own business."
Friday's mass gathering was ostensibly called by Islamists to denounce violence, but it took on the appearance of a war rally instead. Participants, many of them bearded and wearing robes or green bandanas, vowed in chants to protect President Mohammed Morsi against his opponents. Some who addressed the crowd spoke of smashing opposition protesters on June 30, the anniversary of Morsi's assumption of power.
"We want to stress that we will protect the legitimacy with our blood and souls," declared Mohammed el-Beltagy, a senior leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic group from which Morsi hails.
Most participants were bused in from elsewhere in the Egyptian capital or from far-flung provinces. They waved Egypt's red, white and black flag as well as the green banner of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood and posters of the president. Many raised their fists in the air.
Brotherhood members in red helmets and carrying white plastic sticks manned makeshift checkpoints, searching bags and checking IDs as demonstrators streamed into the venue.
Friday's rally was the latest evidence of the schism that has torn Egypt apart in the more than two years since autocrat Hosni Mubarak was ousted in a popular uprising. That division has plunged the country into deadly street battles and taken on a clear religious character after Morsi took office a year ago as the nation's first freely elected leader. In the year since, Egypt has been divided into two camps, with the president and his Islamist backers in one, and secular, liberal Egyptians, moderate Muslims, women and minority Christians in the other.
The past year has also been marred by constant political unrest and a sinking economy. Morsi's opponents charge that he and his Brotherhood have been systematically amassing power, excluding liberals, secular groups and even ultraconservative Salafi Muslims. A persistent security vacuum and political turmoil have scared away foreign investors and tourists. Egypt's already battered economy has continued to slide, draining foreign currency reserves and resulting in worsening fuel shortages and electricity cuts, along with increasing unemployment.
The president's supporters charge that the opposition, having lost elections, is trying to impose its will through street protests.
"They threaten us with June 30. We promise them they will be smashed that day," warned hard-line Islamist Tareq el-Zommor, who spent more than two decades in jail for his part in the 1981 assassination of President Anwar Sadat.
"June 30 is Islamic," he said as the crowd chanted behind him.
"Our battle is an identity battle, against communism and secularism," read one banner carried by protesters. "The people want to implement Islamic Shariah law," declared another.
"I am here to support the legitimacy of an elected president who was chosen by the people through the ballot box," said Saad Ismail, a 43-year-old teacher from the Nile Delta province of Beheira.
Assem Abdel-Maged, a hard-line Islamist leader addressing the crowd, threatened that any attempt to oust Morsi would be met with an Islamic revolution. On Thursday, he told a gathering in the southern city of Minya that those conspiring against Morsi include Coptic Christian extremists, communists and remnants of Mubarak's regime.
"Our dead will be in heaven, and their dead will be in hell," he said.
The main boulevard where the rally was held, along with several side streets were packed as protesters streamed in for hours and the crowd grew to more than 100,000.
Opposition leaders were not impressed by the turnout.
"Those 100,000 are not going to scare the people. We have collected petitions of 15 million people," said Mahmoud Badr, one of the main organizers of the June 30 protests. "They brought people from the provinces that stretch from Cairo to (the southern city of) Aswan. This is their top capacity."
After a months-long petition drive, opposition organizers announced on Thursday that they had collected up to 15 million signatures supporting Morsi's ouster and an early presidential election.
Meanwhile, U.S. Ambassador Anne Patterson, who has repeatedly been accused by the opposition of bias in favor of Morsi, caused outrage this week when she said she was "deeply skeptical" the protests will be fruitful and defended U.S. relations with Morsi and his Brotherhood as necessary because the group is part of the democratically elected Egyptian government.
"Some say that street action will produce better results than elections. To be honest, my government and I are deeply skeptical," she said at a seminar Tuesday organized by a Cairo research center. "Egypt needs stability to get its economic house in order, and more violence on the streets will do little more than add new names to the lists of martyrs."
Her unusually frank comments were widely interpreted as referring to the June 30 demonstrations.
Leading opposition activist Shady el-Ghazali Harb said Patterson showed "blatant bias" in favor of Morsi and the Brotherhood and her remarks had earned the U.S. administration "the enmity of the Egyptian people."
"The Muslim Brotherhood is ready to offer Egypt on a golden platter to the United States in exchange for Washington's support. It is no surprise that she would say that," he said.
Another prominent opposition activist, George Ishaq, counseled Patterson in a television interview to "shut up and mind your own business." Christian business tycoon Naguib Sawiris posted a message on his Twitter account addressed to the ambassador saying, "Bless us with your silence."
The United States has had its own frustrations with the mainly liberal and secular opposition, which has been beset by divisions. During a visit by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry to Egypt in March, he pressed the main opposition grouping, the National Salvation Front, to reverse its decision to boycott parliamentary elections expected later this year or early in 2014.
Washington, Egypt's longtime economic and military backer, has maintained relatively warm ties with Morsi. The Obama administration has praised him for mediating a truce late last year between Israel and Hamas, the Islamic militant rulers of the Gaza Strip, and for maintaining Egypt's peace treaty with Israel.
"This is the government that you and your fellow citizens elected. Even if you voted for others, I don't think the elected nature of this government is seriously in doubt," Patterson said. "Throughout Egypt's post-revolution series of elections, the United States took the position that we would work with whoever won elections that met international standards, and this is what we have done."
Meanwhile, privately owned TV network ONTV aired footage of what it said was Patterson's convoy of black SUVs in a visit to Khairat el-Shater, a powerful figure in the Muslim Brotherhood who is widely suspected to exercise vast influence over Morsi.
The visit drew criticism from the opposition. The U.S. Embassy declined comment.
"Is this democracy that she visits a man who holds no post in the Egyptian state," Harb said.
Morad Ali, spokesman for the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice party, confirmed the meeting but said he was not authorized to disclose details.
"It was not a secret meeting. The ambassador meets with all political parties and this is the deputy leader of the Muslim Brotherhood. Why is this considered interference in Egypt's domestic affairs?" he said.
Associated Press reporter Tony G. Gabriel contributed to this report.

Grilled Pork Kabobs with Spicy Peanut Butter, Sesame, and Soy Sauce Marinade
|Delicious pork kabobs marinated in a spicy peanut butter, sesame, and soy sauce marinade.
A few weeks ago my nephew Jacob and his girlfriend Aubrey came to my house for dinner, and these spicy pork kabobs flavored with red wine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame, garlic, peanut butter, and red pepper flakes were one of the things we cooked. I was intrigued by this marinade when I spotted it in Costco Connection magazine, and the marinade recipe, which can be used on beef, pork, or chicken, was originally from Cooking for Dads. Using a marinade like this helps keep lean pork moist when you're grilling it, and everyone agreed that the flavor in these kabobs was fantastic. I increased the amount of peanut butter, and we wanted a bit more spice, so I'm upping the red pepper flakes in the recipe I'm sharing, but you can decide how spicy you'd like it when you make them.
Cut 4-5 thick pork chops into strips about 1 inch by 2 inches, trimming all the visible fat. (I used almost 1 1/2 lbs. pork loin chops.)
Grilled Pork Kabobs with Spicy Peanut Butter, Sesame, and Soy Sauce Marinade
(Makes 4-6 kabobs, recipe adapted from Cooking for Dads. This marinade recipe can be used on beef, pork, or chicken.)
1 1/2 lb. thick pork loin chops, fat trimmed and cut into pieces about 1 inch by 2 inches
Marinade Ingredients:
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 T soy sauce
2 T vegetable oil (I used canola oil)
1 1/2 tsp. sesame oil
1 T lime juice
2 T smooth peanut butter (use natural peanut butter without added sugar for South Beach Diet)
2 tsp. finely minced garlic
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes (use more or less to taste)
Combine red wine vinegar, soy sauce, vegetable oil, sesame oil, lime juice, and peanut butter, then whisk until peanut butter is mixed into the other liquids. (This will take a little stirring to get it smooth.) When the mixture is well-combined, whisk in the finely minced garlic and red pepper flakes.
Put pork cubes into Ziploc bag or plastic container with a snap-on lid, then pour in marinade. Let the pork strips marinate 6-8 hours in the refrigerator, turning it a few times if you're home.
When you're ready to cook, remove the pork strips from the refrigerator and drain the marinade. (I used a colander placed in the sink to drain the pork pieces.) Thread kabobs onto skewers, folding each piece over so they won't spin when they're cooking. Let the pork pieces come to room temperature while you oil the grill with olive oil or non-stick grilling spray and preheat grill to medium-high. (You can only hold your hand there 2-3 seconds at that heat.)
Grill kabobs, turning several times with tongs so you get nice grill marks on each side. Kabobs are done when the pork feels firm, but not hard to the touch or when meat reaches a temperature of 160F/70C on an instant-read meat thermometer. We cooked our kabobs about 15 minutes, but actual cooking time will depend on the temperature of your grill and temperature of the meat when it's put on the grill. Serve hot.

Hoteller i Ludhiana
Ludhiana lies on the old banks of the Sutlej River in the Indian state of Punjab. It is the biggest city in the state and an industrial centre of northern India.
Ludhiana's economy is supported by a number of small-scale industries. It is Asia's largest bicycle manufacturing hub, producing more than 10 million bikes every year. It is renowned throughout India as a textiles centre and its woollen products are particularly admired.
It is also an important centre for the manufacture of spare parts for cars and farm machinery. Spare parts for luxury German cars such as BMW and Mercedes are produced here as well as 60 per cent of India's tractor parts. Ludhiana is also a big producer of agricultural products and centre for research and development in agriculture and its bi-products. It is home to the largest agricultural university in Asia, the Punjab Agricultural University.
In 2009, the World Bank rated Ludhiana as the city in India with the best business environment.
Ludhiana gets its name from the Lodhi dynasty that ruled in Delhi from 1451 to 1526 and is believed to have established present day Ludhiana in 1480.
Ludhiana is known among Punjabis as a shopper's paradise, and many people travel here to buy big-ticket household items.
When to go:
The best time to visit Ludhiana is in the winter months from October to February.
- Visit the 500-year-old Lodhi Fort, which was built on the banks of the Sutlej River by Sikander Lodhi. Since the river has changed its course, the fort has largely fallen to ruin, but it's still worth seeing the structure, which sprawls over 5 acres of land.
- Take some time to smell the roses at Nehru Rose Garden. Built in 1967, it is the largest rose garden in Asia, set over 30 acres. It has 17,000 plants representing 1,600 varieties of roses and several fountains. Its annual rose festival attracts visitors from all over India.
- Shop till you drop! Ludhiana is a famous shopping destination and the newly built MBD Neopolis Mall is just the place to get a fine woollen jumper, stock up on cotton t-shirts or maybe even buy a new bike or sewing machine!
- Time your visit for February when the Rural Sports Festival is on in Kila Raipur. The festival features bullock cart races, as well as various animal races including camels, dogs and mules, and apparently even 'standing on galloping horses' races!
- Take a trip to see the Sikh Gurdwara Charan Kamal at Kiratpur or the Gurdwara Manji Sahib at Alamgir: both important Sikh sites.
- Watch a game of 'kabaddi', an Indian sport hugely popular in Punjab. Ludhiana's Guru Nanak Stadium hosted a game in the 2011 Kabaddi World Cup.
- Pamper yourself with a luxury spa treatment at the Radisson Blu Hotel's exclusive spa and salon.

explains ferroelectrics memory losses
the memory inside electronic devices may often be
more reliable than that of humans, it, too, can worsen
over time.
Now a team of scientists from UW-Madison and Argonne
National Laboratory may understand why. The results
were published in a recent edition of the journal
Nature Materials.
Smart cards, buzzers inside watches and even ultrasound
machines all take advantage of ferroelectrics, a family
of materials that can retain information, as well
as transform electrical pulses into auditory or optical
signals, or vice versa.
"The neat thing about these materials is that they
have built-in electronic memory that doesn't require
any power," explains Assistant Professor of Materials
Science and Engineering Paul Evans, a co-author of
the recent paper.
But there's a problem preventing many of these materials
from being used more widely in other technologies,
including computers. As Evans says, "Eventually they
quit working."
The ability of ferroelectrics to store information
resides in their arrangement of atoms, with each structure
holding a bit of information. This information changes
every time the material receives a pulse of electricity,
basically switching the arrangement of atoms.
However, each electric pulse — and corresponding change
in structure — gradually diminishes the capability
of these materials to store and retrieve information
until they either forget the information or quit switching
"It could switch 10,000 or even millions of times
and then stop working," says Evans.
Engineers call this problem fatigue. With little evidence
for what happens to the structure of ferroelectrics
as the material's memory fatigues, Evans and his colleagues
decided to look inside this material as its arrangement
of atoms, controlled by electrical pulses, switched
inside an operating device.
"We'd like to understand how it switches so we could
build something that switches faster and lasts longer
before it wears out," says Evans.
To create a detailed picture of how the atoms rearrange
themselves inside an operating device during each
electrical pulse, the researchers used the Advanced
Photon Source — the country's most brilliant source
of X-rays for research, located at the Argonne National
Laboratory — to measure changes in the location of
atoms. By seeing how the atoms changed their positions,
the researchers could determine how well the material
switched, or remembered information.
"One advantage to working with X-rays is their ability
to penetrate deep into materials, which is why they
are so extensively used today in medical imaging,"
says Eric Isaacs, director of Argonne's Center for
Nanoscale Materials, and one of the paper's co-authors.
"Utilizing this property of X-rays, [we] were able
to peer through layers of metal electrodes in order
to study ferroelectric fatigue in a realistic operating
He adds that the very high brightness of the Advanced
Photon Source allowed the researchers to focus X-rays
to unprecedented small dimensions.
The X-rays showed that, as the researchers repeatedly
pulsed the device, progressively larger areas of the
device ceased working, suggesting that the atoms were
switching structures less and less.
"After 50,000 switches, the atoms were stuck — they
couldn't switch anymore," says Evans, adding that
a stronger electrical charge did put the atoms back
in motion.
When the researchers used a higher voltage of electricity
from the beginning, switching stopped 100 times later,
as reported in the paper. And, in this instance, applying
an even stronger pulse made no difference.
"With higher voltages, the material can't switch because
something has changed about the material itself,"
says Evans. "When you use bigger voltages, it's not
just the switching that stops working, but something
even more fundamental."
Because previous researchers have not peeked inside
working ferroelectric materials to understand their
arrangement of atoms — key to the ability to recall
information — the reasons why switching eventually
stops had not been clearly identified.
"The electronic memory is stored in the structure
of atoms, and that's why it's so important to see
what the structure looks like," explains Evans. By
looking inside these devices, he says engineers can
begin to understand why the atoms stop switching and
then manufacturers can start to design better devices.
With this promise, Evans asks, "Wouldn't it be nice
to have a computer that doesn't forget what it's doing
when you turn it off?"
Other researchers involved in the work include Professor
of Materials Science and Engineering Chang-Beom Eom,
Department of Materials Science and Engineering researcher
Dong Min Kim, and the paper's first author, Dal-Hyun
Do, also from the department; and Eric Dufres, from
the University of Michigan.
