Sprinkel. "There is too large a gap
between social events at Bethel,
both according to the calendar and
in the interaction of the students."
Members of the three councils
discussed ways in which maxi-mum
use can be made of the dor-mitories
and other available
facilities to meet this need. Their
wish is to make available places
where small groups of students

Sing Proceeds
Without Beatles
Highlighting the social activities
this week is an all-campus hooten-anny,
to be held Saturday night at
8 in the dining hall.
Participating in this event will
be three groups of "folk singers"
from Bethel, one group from Augs-burg
and one group from a neigh-boring
high school.
It was recommended that the
Beatles be asked to participate al-so,
but due to fog (among other
things) they won't be able to make
it. Tuffy Bryant then volunteered
to act as emcee to replace the loss!
There will be no admission
charge and refreshments will be
served during the intermission.
This hootenanny is sponsored by
the social committee with Paul
Goodman in charge of programing.
Royal Players left today on an
extended tour, the second in
Bethel's drama history. They will
bring two religious dramas to aud-iences
in eight states during a 17-
day period. The touring actors will
perform "The Sacrifice" and "Con-quest
in Burma" primarily before
church groups.
Performances have also been
scheduled for a Youth for Christ
meeting in Worcester, Mass. and a
chapel at Wheaton college, Whea-ton,
Troop of six includes four St.
Paulites: Carole Lundquist, sen-ior
English major; Phoebe Net-terlund,
sophomore English stu-dent;
Jerry Oas, senior speech
student; and Steve Seidl, sopho-more

Rott, instructor in speech and
drama, fills a dual position as
director and actor. Joining the
quintet of veteran tour members
is pre-med sophomore J. David

Council Ruling
Favors Coeds
After a month's trial, Hagstrom
and Bodien dormitory councils de-cided
to continue to allow resi-dents
to stay outside their rooms
after 11 p.m. Before making this
decision, the dormitory councils,
house mothers and assistant dean
of students, Sprinkel met to dis-cuss
the effects of the new rule.
Members raised some questions
about the initial presentation of
the new ruling. Wrong information
and the overstatement of change
had falsely given the idea that the
new rule did away with all other
after hour restrictions.
Another point the council rais-ed
was that the elected dorm
council has the responsibility to
enforce study hours as well as
after-eleven hours.
"Potentially, the residents have
the opportunity to prove their ma-turity,"
said Mr. Sprinkel, "but
the unfortunate thing is that some
residents have not recognized their
responsibility in maintaining
Kathy Johnson, president of
Hagstrom residence, stated that
she thought the rule had work-ed
very well in Hagstrom. There
were slight abuses, but on the
whole no real difficulties.
Marion Tall, Bodien residence
president, states, "I think the rule
has been successful for the most
part, however, there have been a
few isolated incidents where the
rule has been interpreted in ex-tremes."

parties. Constructing the party two weeks before the election
next year will not give party leaders enough time to work out
their platforms, to find candidates who can support each other
and to let the campus know what the party stands for.

The motto of the seminary is:
The Man of God Communicating
the Word of God. This expresses
an integrating concept which gives
purpose and unity to the curricu-lum.
These lectures are designed to
interpret the pastor's communica-tion
of the Word in terms of Paul
as a preacher, pastor and Christian
man. Although Paul had a unique
experience as an apostle, present-day
ministers should emulate him
in the great task of communicat-ing
the gospel to a lost world.
Paul's primary work was preach-ing.
As an apostle sent by God, he
proclaimed an authentic message
of redemption in Christ, divinely
revealed. His own experience con-firmed
the validity of the message.
Not only was the message of
divine origin but it was also effec-tively
delivered. Although he ad-mitted
being unskilled in speech
we know that he communicated
well because people responded
positively or negatively.
They could not ignore his mes-sage.
Paul met the needs of the
people by preaching the Word of
God. God's Word is equally rele-vant
for our day.
Paul had a pastor's heart and
exercised a shepherding ministry
in connection with his extensive
ministry. He speaks of having the
care of the churches as a daily

purpose of God that every believer
should be "conformed to the image
of His Son." In other words, the
Christian pastor must aid his peo-ple
in the process of becoming
mature or Christ-like.
For the attainment of this high
goal he exercised a comprehensive
ministry that was instructive and
Paul was motivated in this min-istry
by deep love for the believers.
This led him to make costly sac-rifices
for the welfare of the
The message Paul conveyed by
preaching and shepherding was
confirmed by his own exemplary
conduct. Christ became the pattern
of his life. We discover Christ-like
qualities such as righteousness,
courage and fortitude.
The secret of his sanctification
was full trust in the indwelling
Christ accompanied by adherence
to high ethical principles. His ex-emplary
life bore eloquent witness
to his devotion to Christ.

The morning and afternoon con-vocations
by Suzanne Bloch on our
campus, Thursday, March 12, were
well received and appreciated.
Everyone was impressed by her
knowledge of the subject, musi-cianship
and the charm with which
she communicated to her audience.
For the 10 a.m. presentation,
Miss Bloch gave a survey of late
medieval and early renaissance in-strumental
music. She explained
the mechanics and performing
qualities of the lute, virginals and
recorders; discussed the music lit-erature
of the period for these in-struments;
and performed with the
instruments to illustrate the con-tent
of her lecture. Her presenta-tion
was a good combination of lec-ture
and performance.
We lament her hurriedness and
too general scope of her topic.
However, this is not to her dis-credit.
For the noon convocation for the
English department, Miss Bloch
gave a convocation on Shakespear-ean
music. Once again performing
and lecturing, she acquainted us
with the music and lyrics in some
of Shakespeare's dramas and with
the music of the Elizabethan per-iod.
This session was less profitable.
She often rambled, skipped and
changed subjects. In snatches, she
spoke on topics ranging from the
authenticity of Shakespeare's lit-erature
to Einstein's musicianship.
However, her knowledge of and
intense interest in whatever she
discussed concerning music made
the hour rather pleasant.
The most unique and interesting
factor in Miss Bloch's convocations
was her ability to present the mu-sic
in its cultural context. With the
music, she also gave historical
sketches and samples of the litera-ture
of the age.
The convocation committee is
commended for sponsoring Miss
Bloch on our campus.

Respect for the individual on this campus is minimal and for the
athlete, it is especially low. An athlete sacrifices 25 to 30 hours a week
for the glory of the school, but he receives no glory for himself. The ratio
of time an athlete spends to recognition the campus gives is very low.
Now, I do not advocate preferential treatment for the athlete. Easier
courses or lower standards are not the reward an athlete seeks. All he
asks for is a fair break—to be free from preconceived notions—to have
equality. Students on campus think that athletes are not serious, not
capable of deep thought and are here just for a good time. Before an
individual athlete can show his colors he is stereotyped and put into
a set group called "the athletes."
Try as some people may to precipitate the athletes out as a separ-ate
group, it cannot be done, because they are an integral part of the
campus. Athletes make quite a contribution to the school. No story about
Bethel hits as many distant newspapers as do game scores. Athletics
provide a chance for the school to rally around and strengthen school
spirit. Yet some would spurn this chance.
Remember, there can be no separation, no division between a part
of the school and the school. The athletes are an indivisible part of
the school and the school a vital part of the athlete.
When someone asks how Bethel's team did this year in football,
the answer given by every student should be, "We had a pretty good
year. We were 6-2." Or in basketball, "We took the conference this year."
Athletes and athletics go unrecognized for the good they embody,
and too often, recognized for their bad side. Students are quick to pick
up a rumor about an athlete and spread it around. They are quick to
report any misconduct they see, but where are they when an athlete
makes All-American; where are they when an athlete makes the College
Who's Who, when an athletic gospel team does a good job? Can they
not give the athlete respect for his positive contribution to the campus?
Knights, Faculty
Remain In Lead
Knights and Faculty, both with
3-0 records, lead the intramural
volleyball tournament into its
fourth week. Last week the Knights
beat the Dukes 2-1 and the Faculty
beat the Peasants 2-1.
Barons suffered their first de-feat
as they were upset by a tough
Seminary team 2-1. In the other
games the Jesters beat the Counts
and the Pages and Squires both
Both the paddleball and handball
tournaments have entered into
their quarterfinal rounds. The
matches are played in the courts
in the basement of the boys dorm;
reservations are made on the intra-mural
bulletin board.
Dr. Mounce leads the paddleball
tournament into its semifinal round
with a victory over Dave Grant
(Counts). Mr. Smith, Mr. Glader,
Paul Evan, Dr. Wessel and Ed
Peterman are competing in the
other quarterfinal matches.
With football, basketball, tennis,
cross-country, weight lifting and
badminton completed the Jesters
lead the total intramural program
with 265 points. They are followed
by the Knights 223, Seminary 204,
Dukes 202, Counts 187, Peasants
186, Barons 127, Pages 104 and

represented by Purcell who holds
school records in the 880 yard run,

"This could be the year that a num-ber

text: This isn't that hard a problem. Visit the major fan manufacturers sites, buy the one that will fit, moves at least as much air as the original, and is much quieter. The manufacturers all list their products size (ie, the ones that will fit) and then check cfm and noise. For instance, I have bought fans from these guys a couple of times: http://www.dynatron-corp.com/en/product_list.aspx?cv=20-72 Generally you have to go through a distributor and not buy direct, but that is no big deal.

This itty bitty fan barely moves any air at the best of times (it cools a 486, which really doesn't need to be cooled) and under normal circumstances the fan is completely inaudible. The users contacted me and told me that scanner was making horrible mechanical failure sounds, as if the scan stage was scraping on something. I didn't measure it, but the sound was really loud, I'm guessing at least 85 decibels, and it really did sound like the end of the world. The sound came in bursts, with no noise in between. I'm guessing a bearing moving around in the fan, between a noisy position and a quiet one, or maybe it had developed some sort of resonance. All that racket was from one tiny fan.

Hello everybody, I was wondering if someone could help me out. The matter is that I'm desperately looking for a Borske Sklo Nemo ball vase (don't even ask me why =)). It's gotta be like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370577626813, the only problem with this and several other offers I've found is that they are way to small. I need one that's at least 25-30 cm (10-12 inches) in height (diameter). Just in case, they do exist since the one that's been broken was such. Does anybody by any chance have an idea where I could find one? Igor

G-reg1 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 322 designs submitted by 38 freelance designers.
I'm a young, tech-savvy entrepreneur, looking to make a splash in the internet marketing industry.
I'm looking for a hip, yet classy logo that will appeal to both salon/spa/beauty establishment owners (who tend to be non-technical, yet fashionable, and middle-aged) and their customers, who are mostly female, middle-to-upper class, and will span from teens to middle-aged women.
Logo should include the company name (iBeautiful.com) and should resemble the style (fonts) of Apple products, such as, iPhone, iMac, etc.
The logo is being designed for an online beauty directory, so Wayspa.com and SpaFinder.com can be used as examples of what the logo could look like. While the majority of the users will be women, some men will use the site too, so the logo should appeal to women and men.
The logo should have either one solid color or have the "i" in one colour and "beautiful" in another color. The logo (name) will be placed BLUE backround (#1979AC), with another major colour being a dark grey (#9A9081). Site will have a hint of pink(#FBE0ED). Logo should be sharp, clean, modern. No clip art or cartoons.
If anything is unclear, please feel free to ask me - I will try to respond ASAP to any designer looking to make an awesome logo!

Virgin Media 'overwhelmed' by broadband customers fleeing BT
Result? Delays aplenty
Exclusive Hundreds of people who have recently signed up to Virgin Media UK's ADSL broadband service face lengthy delays getting their accounts activated.
The company has blamed a sudden spike in demand for its relaunched ADSL package, which is intended for would-be customers who live outside of the operator's cable coverage and want to bundle their broadband and phone lines together.
At the beginning of August Virgin made lots of noise about its new all-singing-all-dancing ADSL broadband service packages, that boosted faster download speeds of up to 20Mbps and its own telephone line rental.
All of which offered an attractive proposition to customers wanting a simple, BT-free life that involved having a single bill with one telecoms supplier.
But here's the rub: A spokesman at the cable giant told us it had been inundated with customers fleeing BT and running headlong into Virgin's increasingly burdened arms.
"Since we relaunched our National service with line rental and our Best Speed Promise, we have been overwhelmed with new orders, resulting in a few delays in getting customers on to our superfast ADSL broadband," the spokesman told The Register.
He also confessed that the company has been struggling to post out modem kit to its new punters.
"We have now resolved modem stock problems and are working flat out to get customers up and running as soon as possible. We are very sorry for any delays some customers may have faced."
It's not clear at this stage if customers who have suffered delays with their ADSL broadband service will have their £30 activation fee cancelled by Virgin. Those affected have been urged to send an email to the firm detailing their complaints.
Virgin Media has been dogged in the past for failing to provide the capacity customers have demanded from its service. The company has clearly upped the ante by invading BT's heartland with its new bundled broadband and phone line rental offer.
But failing to respond adequately to such a positive uptake from customers leaves the firm open to the same old complaints, no matter how appealing its packages may appear at the outset. ®

YouTuber/animator avemagnadude mashed together a few concepts from Assassin's Creed III trailers, but there's a distinct Gladiator feel here, too. Did you pick up on it?
Those references, combined with dramatic, slow-motion throws of Connor's tomahawk and a fantastic track (I need to have that track) make me want to see a Gladiator-styled Assassin's Creed game.
But I guess for now I'll settle for pirates. Or something.

On this episode of Patient Power, sponsored by Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA), listeners will learn about team approaches for treating sarcoma in both children and adults. Recognized around the world as a pioneer in the treatment of sarcoma, Dr. Earnest "Chappie" Conrad joins Andrew for a look at what both young and adults patients can expect in the future of treating sarcoma, surgically and non-surgically. Among his many titles, Dr. Conrad is chairman of orthopedics at Seattle Children's Hospital. He's also director of the sarcoma service for the SCCA, and he's co vice chairman of orthopedics at the University of Washington.
Dr. Conrad speaks candidly about limb sparing procedures for children with sarcomas, bone cancers, major challenges in reproducing growth, and how this can be accomplished mechanically, magnetically and even non-surgically. Dr. Conrad also speaks about the cure rate being higher for children under the age of 20 than for adults, with the average survival for a child with a high grade sarcoma at a 75 percent survival rate over the first five years. Hear more about high-grade tumors, risk factors for surgery and how research continues to improve long-term survival for sarcoma patients. Dr. Conrad talks about the importance of a multidisciplinary team and common overlaps between treating children and adults with sarcoma. Often, this team includes an oncologist, surgeon, pathologist, radiation therapist, and other surgical partners. Dr. Conrad discusses how success rates have increased to lower complication rates and how new and improved techniques for making limbs, still growth, and issues surrounding orthopedic care, are all on the research front.
Dr. Conrad sums up the discussion with one of the most important factors of all, clinical trials. In his own words: "Trials are absolutely critical. The children that we treat, about two thirds to three fourths of the children that we treat are on clinical trials, and it's because we all consider, there are smaller number of tumors so it's easier to focus on them. We all want our children to have the best treatment so they're more intensely evaluated than the average adult, despite our best efforts. But some adults have a negative reaction to clinical trials, and I would like to argue against being negative about trials because the trials allow us to evaluate the effectiveness of therapy, and they're absolutely critical for an unusual sarcoma type and for high grade sarcomas."

Andrew Schorr:
Sarcoma is a rare cancer, in children, usually found as cancer in the bones, in adults, more typically in the soft tissue. In either case it's serious, and you need to go to a specialized team. There is such a seam at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. We'll hear from the head of that team coming up next on Patient Power.
Hello and welcome to Patient Power sponsored by the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. I'm Andrew Schorr. Several times we have talked with a true leader in the fight against sarcoma, and that is Dr. Earnest "Chappie" Conrad, who is the chairman of orthopedics at Seattle Children's Hospital. He's also director of the sarcoma service for the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, and he's co vice chairman of orthopedics at the University of Washington. Dr. Conrad has established over many years a very unique and internationally renowned center at Seattle Children's in helping children fight sarcoma and the research that can really move things along. We want to get an update from Dr. Conrad on, first of all, where are we now in the fight against sarcoma, different types in children, helping them grow, live and thrive. And also the overlap, if you will, with understanding and research of sarcoma in adults and how all of that works together and what's available for adults, teenagers, children affected by sarcoma who come for treatment here in Seattle. Dr. Conrad, thank you so much for being with us once again.
Dr. Conrad:
It's my pleasure.
Andrew Schorr:
Well, let's talk about one area which you really helped pioneer here, and that is limb sparing in children. So it used to be years ago where a child had bone cancer or sarcoma, and the limb was amputated. Where are we now in our efforts? How far have we come in helping not only the limb be saved but also in trying to help the child grow?

Evening at Huntington Beach
Michelle, baby, and I went to Huntington Beach yesterday (Saturday). It was Lee's first visit to a beach and he was very happy. He got scared of sand and wouldn't want to stand on it. At the end of the day, Lee was totally pooped out. Anyways, we were there to see Mike Williams for his going away party. He's leaving California to go back to his hometown in Colorado. And we couldn't find the party. There were so many people, because of The Beach Games or something. All the surf and skate related companies were there and of course whole lot of people and parking spot was pretty hard to find. We walked around and checked between the lifeguard station 7 through 11 and I couldn't find any face I recognize. But it was fun being there and we gotta visit there more often.

Palo Alto's decade-long dream of expanding its fiber ring to bring high-speed Internet to every home in the city should be deferred, if not abandoned altogether, because of high costs, questionable demand and fierce competition from existing telecommunications giants, two consulting firms have concurred in separate reports.
The reports from Columbia Telecommunications Corporation (CTC) and Tellus Venture Associates were commissioned by the city as part of its effort to create a new business plan for its 41-mile "dark fiber" ring -- a network that the city built in the late 1990s that currently serves 68 customers. While both consultants recommend extending the fiber ring to new areas and building new infrastructure to support it, each concludes that a citywide fiber system -- known as "fiber to the home" or "fiber to the premise" -- would not make business sense in the current economic climate.
"There is no compelling case for providing fiber service directly to residents at this time," consultant Stephen Blum of Tellus concluded in his report. "Palo Alto is served by large incumbent retail video and broadband service providers that enjoy decisive competitive advantages resulting from economies of scale.
"Comparable municipal ventures have failed. It is unlikely that a City-run or supported residential fiber service would be able to achieve enough market penetration or subscriber revenue to support itself in the near term."
The findings, which the city's Utilities Advisory Commission is scheduled to review Wednesday night, are the latest blow to the city's long-held ambitions to spread fiber-based Internet access to its famously tech-savvy masses. The city's earlier attempt to partner with an Internet consortium on a fiber-to-the-premise initiative fizzled in 2009, when the consortium's financing collapsed. Palo Alto also joined more than a thousand other cities in applying for Google's ambitious Fiber to the Community project, which aims to hook up an entire city to ultra high-speed Internet. Kansas City ultimately won the Google prize.
The new studies are sure to disappoint proponents of a citywide fiber system. But the reports provide an array of recommendations to the city and its Utilities Department for improving the city's small but lucrative fiber service, which is projected to generate an estimated $3.3 million in the current fiscal year.
The CTC report, which evaluates ways to expand the existing network, recommends a two-phased approach to widening the ring. The first phase would entail building new "access points" at nine existing electrical substations to entice private companies to work with the city on dark-fiber initiatives and to support various other wireless services. This could entail building new cellular towers, which CTC recommends making at least 75 feet tall, at the substations. These facilities would be leased to a variety of telecom companies and would help the city meet the spiking demand for wireless coverage.
This proposal will almost certainly prove a tough sell in Palo Alto, where two recent cell-tower proposals attracted intense opposition from residents at the proposed sites. In one case, AT&T was forced to pull its application for a 50-foot tower at St. Albert the Great Church after a group of residents in the Crescent Park neighborhood pressured the church to step away from its partnership with the telecom giant.
The CTC report acknowledges that its proposed initiative "will not be welcomed by all" but argues that this approach is "both a responsible form of stewardship of (City of Palo Alto Utilities) facilities and communications assets and a reasonable way to address a highly charged urban problem."
"We are aware that an initiative of this type is not without political challenges," the CTC report states. "This is especially true with regard to the aesthetics of cell towers.
"Everyone wants to have reliable citywide cell coverage for voice and high-speed data connectivity, but hardly anyone wants a cell tower located next door, or in fact even within the neighborhood.
"By developing a proactive cell tower placement program within the confines of existing electric substations, (City of Palo Alto Utilities) would in effect be blending the common aspects of facilities everyone needs and leveraging the common characteristics of both media."
The second phase in CTC's proposal involves building 88 "access nodes" throughout the city. Each of these nodes would be able to provide fiber access to about 250 homes and businesses. This "fiber to the neighborhood" initiative would cost about $5 million to build and, if all goes well, entice a private operator to build the "last mile" of the network to each home. The entire fiber project would cost between $40 million and $60 million, depending on the type of system deployed.
The high cost of building a citywide fiber system has deterred the City Council in the past from taking on the project without partners from the private sector. According to the Tellus analysis of market conditions, such a system would not be a financially feasibly project for the city to take on.
In its report, the firm lists several cities, including Alameda and Provo, Utah, where citywide Internet initiatives had failed. Both Tellus and CTC also emphasized the dominant role of Comcast and AT&T in Palo Alto's broadband market -- a tough obstacle for the city's fledgling operation to overcome.
The Tellus report urges the city to instead focus on its core customers -- high-tech firms and telecom companies. Tellus evaluated various parts of the city where the existing fiber ring could be extended and singled out the area around East Meadow Circle (home to Space Systems-Loral and Dell Computers) as the "best immediate prospect" for such an extension. Other potentially lucrative areas for expansion are areas long El Camino Real and Sand Hill Road.
Blum wrote in his report for Tellus that the broadband business model is changing rapidly and that a fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) system could "eventually" become economically viable in markets such as Palo Alto.
"For the present though, the broadband sector's turmoil and uncertainty make FTTH system investments less attractive," Tellus concluded. "The current state of the broadband market does not support a business case for a third, overbuild residential broadband system in Palo Alto."
The city's utilities officials are expected to use the two new studies to put together a business plan for the fiber service by this fall. Jim Fleming, the city's project manager for the fiber utility, wrote in his report that staff will further analyze the reports' recommendations and reach out to customers in areas the consultants had identified as "underserved." Staff also plans to "evaluate the feasibility of constructing cellular towers at some or all of the electric substations," Fleming wrote.

John Ondrasik is holding the Stanley Cup.
The pop-rock musician has just finished coaching a team to a big hockey win and is walking across the ice to deliver sports' most famous trophy, his shoes stepping tentatively toward a far face-off circle.
OK, so it isn't the actual Stanley Cup. And "coaching" may be a strong word: Ondrasik mostly stood, silent, behind a bench as his team embarked on face-offs and line changes. When your band is known as Five for Fighting — the of course sort-of-stiff penalty that players receive for throwing punches at faces instead of pucks at nets — offensive strategy isn't going to be a strong suit.
Still, Ondrasik's squad has...

Office of the Dean
Meet Dean Willie M. Reed
Thank you for visiting the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine website – our virtual "front door" to a wonderful world of learning, discovery and engagement focused on animal and human health and well-being. Please explore our website to find out more about the traits that distinguish Purdue Veterinary Medicine from the 27 other colleges of veterinary medicine in the U.S.
I am very pleased and honored to be a member of the Purdue Veterinary Medicine "family," both as a graduate and as Dean. My association with Purdue University dates back to the late 1970s. After earning my Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degrees at Tuskegee University, I came to West Lafayette, Ind., to pursue a Ph.D. in veterinary pathology. In 1982, with my newly minted Ph.D. degree in hand, I was excited to join the Purdue Veterinary Medicine faculty, serving as associate professor of avian pathology and as chief of avian disease diagnostic services in the Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory. In 1990 I accepted an offer at Michigan State University to become a full professor and director of the Animal Health Diagnostic Laboratory (now called the Diagnostic Center for Population and Animal Health). Later I also was named chairperson of the Department of Pathobiology and Diagnostic Investigation at MSU.
I have many fond memories of my tenure at MSU, and it wasn't until 2006 when an opportunity came along that really caught my attention and caused me to seriously consider moving. Not surprisingly, the opportunity was with Purdue University. As I looked into the opening for dean of the veterinary school, my mind was flooded with memories of the very special, palpable feeling of family that characterizes the community of Purdue Veterinary Medicine faculty, staff and students. The chance to return to the Purdue campus and lead the PVM team was especially compelling. I accepted the appointment effective in January, 2007, and began the most exciting and rewarding time of my career.
Since then, and with the benefit of the vision, mission and goals articulated in our faculty-approved strategic plan, the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine has achieved a number of significant milestones. As we celebrated the college's 50th anniversary in 2009, we worked diligently to continue to build on the traditions of excellence established by our founding faculty. We have modernized our teaching facilities in concert with a 20% increase in our DVM class size, which now numbers 84. We have increased the diversity of our student body, while recruiting outstanding faculty in a wide range of disciplines from around the globe. At the same time, we have preserved true hallmarks of our College, including our emphasis on imparting real-world skills and problem-solving abilities, and graduating "practice-ready" veterinarians. We also remain one of very few schools that teaches both DVM and veterinary technology students, giving us a decided advantage in preparing our graduates to succeed in a team-oriented approach to animal health care delivery.
The quality of our people and programs was reflected in the recent decision by the American Veterinary Medical Association's Council on Education to grant our College continued full accreditation, after a required accreditation site visit. Whatever your reason for visiting our "virtual home," I trust you will find the answers you need along with a warm welcome from our Purdue Veterinary Medicine family.

A patient who underwent an innovative weight loss surgery at Verdugo Hills Hospital last month is recovering and back at work in clothes that fit more loosely than they used to.
Dr. Ara Keshishian, a Glendale-based bariatric surgeon, performed the single- incision laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on Aug. 27. It was the first time the procedure was performed in Los Angeles County, Keshishian said.
Traditional sleeve gastrectomies require doctors make up to four incisions in a patient's abdomen through which they insert the camera and surgical tools needed to perform the operation. The new procedure allows doctors to make a single incision at the belly button, reducing recovering time and scaring.
"Most of us have belly buttons that are 'innies,' so in an innie, what you do is make a cut inside the belly button," Keshishian said. "Even though the distance from one end to the other might be 1 centimeter, if you cut within the belly button itself you have a 2 or 3 centimeter incision."
The patient, 45-year-old Danette Feeney of Bakersfield, was about 245 pounds pre-surgery. She struggled with her weight for years, Feeney said.
"I tried everything, Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig, [weight loss] shots, the gym, all of that," Feeney said. "It would work but [the weight] would always come back."
Her cholesterol levels began to inch up and she showed preliminary signs of heart problems, so Feeney's doctor recommended bariatric surgery. Other health problems disqualified her from the Lap-Band procedure, but she eventually connected with Keshishian, who has 10 years' experience with sleeve gastrectomies.
The surgery involves reducing the size of the stomach by more than 50%, leaving the patient able to consume about 4 ounces of food per sitting. The ideal candidate for the procedure is someone who has about 100 pounds to lose, and who doesn't have a lot of co-morbid conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, Keshishian said. They also have to meet criteria set forth by the National Institute of Health.
"You just eat a couple of bites of something and you are full, you are completely satisfied," Feeney said. "You find that you make better choices because you are looking for more of the good stuff that have more protein and more vitamins rather than junk."
Feeney went home 24 hours after the procedure. She is now back at work and feeling great. She hopes to lose about 100 pounds.
"I think it is amazing," Feeney said. "I am completely happy with it. It has been three weeks and I have lost 16 pounds, so automatically things are starting to get looser."

Larry Gibson's parents never worried about finding him, when, as a boy, he wandered out into the forest. All they had to do was spot the hawk that followed him from the air. That's how close Gibson was to the West Virginia mountains.
Photo by Bill Kovarik
He pined for those mountains after his family joined the exodus from Appalachia, moving to where the jobs were, into Ohio and Pennsylvania, in the 1950s. But finally, in the 1990s, he was able to move back to a small cabin on the land owned by his family for generations.
By that time, the nearby town of Kayford was nearly gone. And the hills where he once roamed trembled under gigantic bulldozers and leviathan drag lines that were pushing back the woods, reaching down into the earth, and tearing out the coal.
Mountaintop removal mining tore something out of him, too, but he found a way to fight back. And in the process, Larry Gibson became something unexpected, a unique species of Appalachian Lorax, a small man in bib overalls who could elevate your vision with a few dozen words.
Gibson died Sunday following a heart attack at his home on Kayford Mountain in West Virginia's Raleigh County. He was 66-years-old.
In thousands of speeches at home and across the Appalachian region, he would ask people: What do you hold so precious in your own circle of life that you don't have a price on it? What would it be?"
For Gibson, the answer was always Appalachia, the mountains, and his family's vanishing way of life.
Gibson's answer wasn't everyone's — but his question was. And when he asked it you could see people reaching deeply inside themselves as he talked with them, and challenged them, and charmed them into siding with him to fight the injustice that had already swept away most of his world.
Because he felt the injustice so deeply, Gibson stubbornly held onto a remnant of his world — a 53-acre island whose high point was a family cemetery — even while the surrounding 12,000 acres were blasted into a moonscape.
And because he did not sell out, journalists from just about every major network and publication in the world were able to see mountaintop removal first hand, while students could see the hell that earth would become if the power of giant corporations continued unchecked.
Standing in the family cemetery, visitors could see what Gibson meant when he said this form of mining was "like raising the dead while burying the living.
Kayford Mountain became the world's image of mountaintop removal mining, said Mary Anne Hitt of the Sierra Club: "Because it was one of the few places you could reliably see mountaintop removal from the ground, everybody went to Kayford. And Larry was always there to greet them and give them a tour." He would bring people up to the cemetery, then walk them over to the edge of a gaping wound in the earth. It was a view, Hitt wrote in a eulogy on Daily Kos, "that would shake you to your core and never let you go."
Gibson's path was not an easy one. Two of his dogs were killed. Coal-crazies constantly harassed him; and his cabin would regularly take bullets. Fellow activists were afraid that he would take one too, with all the threats he got. They raised $10,000 for a security system in 2010, but even years before that, they were pleading with coal-friendly West Virginia officials to tone down the "war on coal" rhetoric.
"Larry was one of the ones that stood elbow to elbow with me when no one else was there," Goldman prize winner Maria Gunnoe said. "He came to my home to check on me after a flood put out the phone lines. Everyone loved him — everyone but the coal companies. Some of their men were simply cruel to Larry Gibson, and they should hang their heads in shame for the way they treated him."
Despite the abuse, he had a stolid and unshakeable demeanor whether speaking to large crowds, small groups, or the cameras of TV crews from around the world.
Gibson served on the board of the Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition and helped form other groups like Coal River Mountain Watch. He understood the day-to-day practicalities of organizing and coalition building and gentle persuasion. But he could be fierce as well.
"Few people in our country were so fearless in the face of political pressure, bankers, Big Coal backlash and even death threats," author Jeff Biggers wrote yesterday in a remembrance on The Huffington Post. And fewer people had the inspiring impact of this determined mountaineer.
Although he was an international figure, traveling to Latin America and arguing for native Appalachian rights at the United Nations, Gibson remained unfazed by fame and well grounded in the mountain life and lore that was his heritage.
Partly because of this combination of fearlessness and inspiration, Gibson was named a CNN Hero in 2007. More honors would doubtless have come if he had lived longer.
"I always imagined that, when we celebrated the end of mountaintop removal, Larry Gibson would be there," Hitt wrote.
Gibson is survived by a wife and three children. The family has asked that those who wish to express their condolences donate to his Keeper of the Mountains Foundation at mountainkeeper.blogspot.com.
"I think it's just so ironic," Gunnoe said, "that Larry left Kayford Mountain through a gate that the coal company used to try to keep him out, the gate to a cemetery where his Grandma and Grandpa were buried.
"You win, Larry," Gunnoe said wistfully. "You got the last laugh."

Fossil Fuels Dominate Primary Energy Consumption
New Worldwatch Institute analysis examines the state of the global fossil fuel consumption
Washington, D.C.—Coal, natural gas, and oil accounted for 87 percent of global primary energy consumption in 2012, as the growth of worldwide energy use continued to slow due to the economic downturn, according to a new Vital Signs Online trend released by the Worldwatch Institute (www.worldwatch.org). The relative weight of these energy sources keeps shifting, although only slightly. Natural gas increased its share of energy consumption from 23.8 to 23.9 percent during 2012, coal rose from 29.7 to 29.9 percent, and oil fell from 33.4 to 33.1 percent. The International Energy Agency predicts that by 2017, coal will replace oil as the dominant primary energy source worldwide.
The shale revolution in the United States is reshaping global oil and gas markets. The United States produced oil at record levels in 2012 and is expected to overtake Russia as the world's largest producer of oil and natural gas combined in 2013. Consequently, the United States is importing decreasing amounts of these two fossil fuels, while using rising levels of domestic natural gas for power generation. This has led to price discrepancies between the U.S. and European natural gas markets that in turn have prompted Europeans to increase their use of coal power. Coal consumption, however, was dominated by China, which in 2012 for the first time accounted for more than half of the world's coal use.
Global natural gas production grew by 1.9 percent in 2012, dominated by the United States (with 20.4 percent of the total) and Russia (17.6 percent). Other countries accounted for less than 5 percent each of global output.
In 2012, coal remained the fastest-growing fossil fuel globally, although at 2.5 percent the increase in consumption was weak relative to the 4.4 percent average of the last decade. China increased its coal use by 6.1 percent, and India by a significant 9.9 percent in 2012. Coal use by members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) declined by 4.2 percent, as an 11.9 percent decline in U.S. consumption outweighed increases of 3.4 percent in the EU and 5.4 percent in Japan.
Oil remains the most widely consumed fuel worldwide, but at a growth rate of 0.9 percent it is being outpaced by gas and coal for the third consecutive year. The OECD's share declined to 50.2 percent of global consumption—the smallest share on record and the sixth decrease in seven years. This reflects declines of 2.3 percent in U.S. consumption and 4.6 percent in EU consumption. By contrast, usage in China and Japan rose by 5.0 and 6.3 percent, respectively.
Conversely, global oil production grew by more than twice as much as consumption—2.2 percent, or 100.1 million tons, in 2012. This was due mainly to a rise in U.S. output of 13.9 percent, the highest rate ever. In comparison, Canada, China, and the former Soviet Union saw relatively small increases of 6.8, 2.0, and 0.4 percent, respectively.Consumption of all fossil fuels will likely grow in the future. With increasing hydraulic fracturing of shale gas and many countries interested in displacing coal generation, which has higher greenhouse gas emissions than gas, natural gas use seems well poised to grow. Although some countries are trying to move away from coal use, the incredible growth of coal consumption in China and India will likely make this the main energy resource in the next few years. Although oil may eventually not be the world's dominant energy resource, its use is expected to grow unless there is a fundamental change in how the world fuels the transportation sector.
Further highlights from the report:
Natural gas consumption grew by 2.2 percent to 2,987 million tons of oil equivalent (mtoe) in 2012—more than triple the level in 1970.
China now accounts for a dominant 47.5 percent of global coal production, followed by the United States (13.4 percent) and India (6 percent).
Global oil trade grew by 1.3 percent in 2012 to 2.7 billion tons, equivalent to 62 percent of worldwide output.
