Administration Building 28
C. Henry Smith Peace Lecture: The Already Peaceable Kingdom: A Bestiary of Peaceable Living
Or, as the speaker, Dr. Trevor Bechtel of Bluffton University, puts it in his alternative subtitle: "Kirsten Bell's sloth fascination as a story of peace-building." Working from specific stories of animals across domestic and wild spaces, Dr. Bechtel argues that peace is found wherever we discover right relationships. His work aims at understanding the ecology of our relationships and seeking the full flourishing of all life. Surprising answers to questions of domestication, vegetarianism, hunting and pet owning will be considered.

GREENVILLE, N.C. – East Carolina scored eight unanswered runs behind Dylan Brown's three-hit, two-RBI performance and Reid Love's 7.2 innings of relief topping UNC Wilmington 8-5 Wednesday night at Lewis Field inside Clark-LeClair Stadium.
Trailing 4-0 heading to the bottom of the fourth, ECU (22-15) sent nine batters to the plate scoring five runs for a 5-4 lead and never looked back. With runners on first and second with one out, Charlie Yorgen singled to right field pushing across Ian Townsend for the Pirates first run of the evening. Garrett Brooks followed with a walk giving the Pirates runners at the corners before Kirk Morgan's sac fly to right plated Luke Lowery. Dylan Brown cleared the bases with a double to right center, his second hit of the contest, before Drew Reynolds brought him home on a base knock to left.
Love picked up the win in relief allowing one run on two hits in 7.2 innings of work with three strikeouts. The left-hander, who struggled at Old Dominion last weekend, retired 23 of 26 batters he faced evening his record to 3-3 on the season. Starter Davis Kirkpatrick went one inning surrendering four runs (three earned) on three hits with a punch out, while Reynolds notched his fifth save of the season and 29th of his career facing one batter in the ninth.
Ricky Holden (2-1) took the loss in relief for the Seahawks on a staff outing after being touched for three runs (all earned) on four hits in two innings out of the bullpen. Starter Ryan Foster worked three scoreless frames extending his shutout streak to 12.2 innings before handing the ball to Teddy Cillis, who gave up four runs (all earned) on two hits with a pair of walks in one-third of an inning. A trio of hurlers in Will Shepley (1.2 IP, R), Jared Gesell (0.2 IP) and Christian MacDonald (0.1 IP) closed the game working the final 2.2 innings allowing one run.
UNCW (17-19) jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the first inning, which was highlighted by Ryan LaGrange's fourth home run of the year. Casey Golden reached after being hit by a Kirkpatrick pitch to start the game. Terence Connelly followed with a single through the right side putting runners on the corners. Two batters later Golden crossed home on Corey Dick's sac fly to left for the games first run. LaGrange followed with a two-run shot to left field staking the Seahawks to a 3-0 lead.
Steven Linkous' sac bunt back to Love in the second plated Robbie Thorburn extending UNCW's lead to 4-0. Thorburn led off the frame with a single up the middle and wound up on third after a stolen base and an errant throw by Lowery to centerfield on the attempt.
The Pirates tacked on three runs in the sixth pushing their lead to 8-4. Yorgen picked up his second hit of the night to start the inning and took third on Brooks' single through the left side before scoring the would-be game-winner on Shepley's wild pitch. Brooks crossed home on the next pitch, which was called a balk for ECU's second run of the stanza. Zach Houchins, who boosted his team-leading batting average to .349, doubled home Reynolds capping the scoring for the Pirates on the night.
UNCW got a late run in the ninth when Justin Carroll singled home Dick, cutting the lead to 8-5.
Brown led all players with three hits, his fourth-straight multi-hit game and drove in a team-high two runs for the Pirates. Houchins and Yorgen each added two hits and an RBI, while Morgan and Reynolds each drove in a run.
ECU will be back on the field Thursday night when it plays host to Middle Tennessee in a three-game Conference USA series. First pitch is slated for 6 p.m. (ET).

Mullen: MSU TE Green expected to play
Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen reaffirmed his confidence Monday that junior tight end Marcus Green would play Saturday night against Louisiana State.
The Bulldogs main pass-catching option at the tight end position suffered an injury to his right knee that kept him out of the second half of MSU's 17-14 home loss to Auburn Thursday night.
Mullen didn't even bother to list any players on his weekly injury report as 'probable' and after listing him as the starting tight end on the depth chart, restated Monday during his media gathering that he expects him to be able to play without any physical limitations.
However, Green was not available for comment after Monday's practice. MSU officials said Green's participation in the first workout of the week was limited.
Mullen said Green had received his MRI exam this weekend and his confident talk when he sat down with reporters Friday about Green's health was apparently backed up by the medical scan. The second-year head coach said Green "should be good to go".
"What they said – they're doing an MRI to make sure it's nothing," Mullen said Friday. "They told us where they feel he should be fine for next week is what I've heard but I haven't heard back from the MRI yet."
Green was seen leaving the Bryan Building Friday evening before he'd received his MRI exam with a large wrap-around brace protector on his knee. He was seen with the same brace, which goes from his hip down to his ankle, on his right leg after practice Monday.
The junior tight end caught 27 passes for 306 yards and three touchdowns last year and was one of the most highly-recruited prospects in Mississippi three years ago out of Kemper County High in Scooba.
Senior tight end Brandon Henderson is listed as the backup but he is tied with Green with three catches this season for 25 yards.
"We like the mismatch those guys play and like any position we want to be able to rotate guys through," Mullen said. "Brandon's done a nice job, really improved his game from where he was from this time last year to now.
After returning for his final season after recovering from last season's ankle injury, Henderson has become a major threat in the passing game by being able to use his 245-pound frame on a safety or smaller linebacker.
"With a guy like Brandon you wish the light would've come on for him a year and a half ago cause he knows what type of player he could be today," Mullen said. "A lot of those guys they get to their senior year and start making plays because there's that sense of urgency to perform at practice (and) in games."

The acting head of wrestling's governing body said Friday the federation is negotiating with manufacturers to produce a new singlet — the skimpy sleeveless T-shirt worn by competitors — that will reduce sweat and look different for Greco-Roman and freestyle events.
It's a sign of how far the sport is ready to go to regain its spot in the Olympics after being cut from the 2020 Games last month by the IOC executive board.
"I want to change the singlets to modernize them," acting FILA president Nenad Lalovic told The Associated Press. "Sweat is really a problem for the wrestlers. By the end of the match they cannot make grabs, especially for the Greco-Roman.
"Also that will help to distinguish immediately the Greco-Roman wrestler from the freestyle wrestler."
Currently, Olympic wrestlers in both disciplines wear either red or blue one-piece singlets.
Lalovic said FILA is also working on proposals to include women and active athletes on its decision-making body and make changes to competition formats and venues.
"We want to find something that will make our sport much more watchable and understandable," Lalovic said. "We want spectators who come to the wrestling hall for the first time to know the rules by the end of the day."
The changes, which would take effect in 2014, will be voted on at an extraordinary FILA congress in Moscow on May 18 — just 10 days before the IOC executive board meets in St. Petersburg, Russia, to discuss the program for the 2020 Games.
"We have to make changes to modernize our sport," the Serbian official said in a telephone interview after chairing a FILA meeting in Vevey, Switzerland. "We have to show that something has changed and that we can implement it."
As part of the campaign, FILA is planning a "World Wrestling Day" on May 24 with national bodies organizing wrestling exhibitions and other events to promote the sport.
FILA had originally planned to hold the congress in Turkey, but that was considered a possible conflict of interest because Istanbul is bidding for the 2020 Olympics.
"We have to be impartial," said Lalovic, who plans to run for the FILA presidency at the Moscow meeting.
Russia, a traditional wrestling powerhouse and homeland of the great Alexander Karelin, has been among the most active countries fighting for the sport's Olympic future. Lalovic said the Russian government will help organize and finance the congress.
Lalovic took over FILA on an interim basis after Raphael Martinetti resigned as president within days of the IOC decision to remove wrestling after the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro.
He said he spoke to Martinetti this week and the Swiss official told him he would not be a candidate at the May meeting. Lalovic said he doesn't know if he will face any challengers or be unopposed to finish the presidential mandate until 2014.
At the IOC meeting in St. Petersburg, May 29-31, the board will hear presentations from wrestling and seven other sports competing for one spot on the 2020 program. Those sports include a combined baseball-softball bid, roller sports, sport climbing, squash, wakeboarding, and the martial arts of karate and wushu.
The board could select a short list of three sports to submit to the full IOC assembly, which will make the final decision at its session in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in September.
Lalovic met with federation leaders a day after talks with IOC President Jacques Rogge, who told him the sport will need to earn its place on the program.
"The other competitors started two years ago," Lalovic said. "We have to run fast and act fast. They have had much more time to prepare. But I think we have stronger arguments and I believe we will be ready to make our case."

About the Researcher
In 1997, Mercy Borbor-Cordova was well into the career in oceanography that she had wanted from childhood. For a decade she had been on the faculty at the university in her hometown of Guayaquil, Ecuador. She could have stayed there for the rest of her working life.
But her personal life changed that year, and she was ready for other changes as well. She decided to pursue a long-held dream, an advanced degree. But there are no graduate schools in Ecuador, so she needed to pull up her roots. Speaking no English and having three young children, she knew there would be struggles. But Borbor-Cordova had made up her mind. She applied for a Fulbright scholarship. "I thought, maybe it's too late for me, but I took my chance," she recalls. "I've never regretted it."
The Fulbright-LASPAU Faculty Development Program brings foreign educators to the United States to work on advanced degrees. Only a few educators are chosen each year from each Latin American country. "It's a very competitive process; I was lucky to get it," Borbor-Cordova says modestly. Although her selection undoubtedly had more to it than chance, she was lucky in one way: she applied during a brief window when English fluency was not required at the start. "Fulbright paid for us to have six months of English around the clock," she says.
That did the trick, according to Charles Hall, distinguished professor at State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF). Hall was Borbor-Cordova's adviser and mentor throughout her graduate experience. When Borbor-Cordova arrived on campus, "She could already write well—not all of our foreign students can—so I didn't have to waste time teaching her English," says Hall.
'I thought, maybe it's too late for me, but I took my chance. I've never regretted it.'
At SUNY-ESF, Borbor-Cordova's view expanded. "As an oceanographer, I was interested in ecology, the transport of pollutants, and biophysical science. When I went to graduate school, I got more involved with the systems perspective," she says. "The human dimension is important." Her master's thesis analyzed the environmental impacts of banana and shrimp production on Ecuador's coastal ecosystems. Hall and other faculty members were impressed with her master's work, and when she graduated in 1999 they encouraged her to stay on for a doctorate.
Borbor-Cordova admits to having some qualms because she was older than the other grad students. "But then I thought, what is my goal? I want to go back to my region and do work that encourages young people to be engaged in science; that would be fantastic." She completed her Ph.D. in five years, graduating in 2004.
"I don't know exactly how she did it, because she had three children at the time," Hall says. "I think she's got superb time management skills. She's also very, very bright."
Hall notes another characteristic that's relevant to tackling some of South America's data-sparse environmental problems. "Other students might say, 'I don't have this number so I can't make this model.' That never slows down Mercy. She can figure her way through a problem in a remarkable way."
'You need to build human capacity before you can put solutions in place.'
The Fulbright scholarship requires recipients to return to their home countries for at least two years' work after receiving their degrees. Borbor-Cordova was offered a job as chief of environmental control for the Municipality of Guayaquil, a city of 2.6 million. The office "was a group of professionals from different backgrounds, trying to implement innovative and sustainable environmental management for the city. I said yes immediately because I was willing to learn about policy implementation and to apply my scientific training." After this eye-opening experience, Borbor-Cordova took on several additional projects as a postdoctoral fellow at NCAR, partly funded by the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research.
Now back at her post in Guayaquil, Borbor-Cordova's diverse background has "made me aware of all the challenges we face as environmental managers. The decisions we have to make, the social pressure and the limited resources to develop science all combine to make policy formation and implementation difficult.
"When you make research recommendations in technical reports or publications, everything works in theory, but when you try to implement them, you realize that you need to build human capacity before you can put solutions in place. I have been in the research arena, but looking at these problems from the decision-making side has made me realize that there are always tradeoffs."

ASC Porter Scholars excel across the board
If your image of a brainy science student is an introverted book worm with a pocket protector, Adam State College's Porter Scholars will shatter that stereotype. The 2008 Porter Scholars are confident, outgoing, and excel in pursuits ranging from music to athletics. Nearly all of them have at least two majors, and seven of the eleven are women.
"These students all have a good idea of what they want to do and are fully engaged in the college experience," said Adam State President, Dr. David Svaldi. The 2008 Porter Scholars and members of the selection committee were honored at a barbeque at the president's home, Sept. 22.
The Porter Scholars program was created in 2007 by the largest gift in the college's history: 250,000 shares in E*TRADE Financial Corporation worth $5.8 million. William and Joan Porter made the donation specifically to help mathematics and science majors "on the basis of their need and their ongoing academic achievement." Mr. Porter earned a degree in mathematics from Adams State in 1951. He is chairman emeritus and founder of E*TRADE and founder of the International Securities Exchange.
The program awarded a total of $30,000 toward students' college expenses this year, according to Dr. Brent Ybarrondo, chair of the Biology/Earth Sciences department.
The first class of Adams State Porter Scholars includes five freshmen: Anna Dean, biology; Amber Harlan, cellular & molecular biology; Marie Newby, biology; Jason Nottingham, pre-engineering; and Kerry Sheader, who has three majors: geology, art, and interdisciplinary studies - philosophy/history.
Sophomore Paul Kobe also has three majors: organismal biology, music composition, and music performance. Juniors are Jessica Adams, cellular & molecular biology; and Chris Ivers, organismal biology & biochemistry. The senior scholars are Janice Gautreaux, geology and geography; Jennifer Ives, geology with a biology minor; and Sandra Montoya, oganismal biology with a chemistry minor.
"Porter Scholars is essentially an honors program that will help us recognize academic performance, regardless of need," Ybarrondo said.
All Porter Scholars will have special academic opportunities, including focused academic programs off campus, independent study, and research on advanced topics. Plus, Porter Scholarships are awarded to students with unmet financial need, as calculated through the financial aid process. The amount of aid awarded each year will vary, depending on the number of qualified applicants and the endowment's earnings in the previous year. Upperclasssmen must achieve a GPA of 3.0 in math and science courses, and 3.0 overall, while new students are selected based on a combination of grades and ACT/SAT scores.
"The focused topic component is part and parcel of private liberal arts colleges; what sets them apart. The Porter Scholars program gives students an extraordinary opportunity to come to a place as inexpensive as Adams State and have the same experiences," Ybarrondo said.
Dr. Matt Nehring, professor of physics and chair of Chemistry, Computer Science and Mathematics, added: "There is no way in the world Adams State could offer this program without a private donation. The Porters' gift will give our students opportunities they wouldn't have otherwise."

Sometimes who becomes the sensei is not about who's best but who's last.
Many times, we start training with a group of other new students. One by one, the others quit and we are the only one left. This process can take years. Often, the people who quit may be faster, stronger or even smarter than us. But we do one thing that they do not -- we keep training, year after year, decade after decade.
I always did very well in school. However, I learned Karate slowly. It takes me a long time to learn a new kata. One of my sons can watch a kata a couple of times and remember it. I might have to watch it 100 times!
However, once I learn something I rarely forget it. People who learn very quickly also tend to forget quickly -- unless they have a photographic memory. In addition, because I was taught a kata or technique many times (because I learn slowly), my sensei tended to show me more details and layers.
Those of us who had to struggle to learn Karate make good teachers because we understand how difficult it can be for students. We are more patient and give the student time to mature in the art. We know that students learn at their own time.
There is no rush. It is not about who's best but who's last.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — A hunger strike among prisoners at Guantanamo Bay keeps growing.
Lt. Col. Samuel House said Saturday that 100 of 166 prisoners at the U.S. base in Cuba have now joined the strike.
He says 19 are receiving liquid nutrients through a nasal tube to prevent dangerous weight loss. House says five of those are at a hospital under observation but that they do not have any life-threatening conditions.

During construction season, I bicycle commute weekdays to work in Portland from my home in North Yarmouth. At season's end, I wish to thank some folks who helped make the commute less risky and more enjoyable:
A section of Route 115 was substantially paved this year ("2.36 miles" from the Congregational Church at Route 231 to the Gray town line). This stretch of road was awful, pounded by big trucks, school buses and the commuting hordes.
I waited all summer to experience some new pavement. Finally, despite rain and culverts, the Maine Department of Transportation got the job done, a smooth road, just a beautiful thing. My thanks to MDOT contractors and traffic controllers for a job well done.
Hawkeye LLC was contracted to set up new transmission lines across the state for Central Maine Power. Every day, the Hawkeye service vehicles would NASCAR their way to various work sites along my commuting route. I wish to thank them for their courteous driving. Hawkeye caravans passed me many times through summer and fall and always gave me space, never a spiteful retaliation as they passed.
I witnessed their progress on the towering transmission line near Bruce Hill crossing Route 9, including some of the final aerial work where a helicopter was lowering linemen down to the highest pole crosstrees to do some punch list items.
The work looked as dangerous as bicycling to work sometimes is, and maybe that is what it takes to understand courtesy on the road, to realize how easy it is to be smacked by a larger vehicle, just as it might be to take a long fall from the top of a power line pole.

Impact of proposed tax hikes greatly exaggerated
If the top marginal tax rate increases from 35 percent to 39.6 percent, the federal income tax due on net income above $397,000 increases by 4.6 percent, or $4,600 for every net $100,000 earned above $397,000.
Therefore, if net income is $497,000, the tax increase as a percent of total taxable income is less than 1 percent. Small-business owners earning less than $397,000 net taxable income will be exempt from this increase.
As a taxpayer reporting income from a small business, I wish I had the problem of having to pay the top marginal rate. I would gladly forfeit my exemption in the less-than-$397,000-net-income club.

The front-page Associated Press article "Tax plan: Hard hit on business" (Dec. 10) begs for clarification.
First, let's dispel a myth. Except for a 7.65 percent payroll tax on wages, the federal government does not tax and will not tax a business on money spent on an employee. The cost of an employee is a business expense and, as such, is actually a way to avoid income taxes — unless that employee makes you more money, which is the whole idea, after all.
The article states "… if you borrow money to start or expand your business … only the interest portion of the loan payment is tax deductible." This may be true if you are pocketing that borrowed money as profit, but if you are indeed spending the money on legitimate business expenses, those are deductible.
Enter the shareholders of McGregor Metalworking Cos. in Springfield, Ohio. The seven principals in the business are realizing $4 million in profits and are whining about their $250,000 tax increase. Taking a cue from Wall Street, these geniuses make sure they get theirs first. If there is any money left, they invest it in the business.
Quoth Dan McGregor, "I feel a $40,000 reduction (due to taxes) is the loss of one job, so if it's a $200,000 tax increase, that's five jobs."
So rather than hiring five workers and increasing profits, they'll pad their own pockets and leave the business wanting. Shouldn't money be invested in the business first and what is left considered profit?
Apparently, according to this same article, 96.5 percent of people reporting business income will be unaffected by this tax plan. Perhaps your headline should have read, "Tax plan: Hardly anyone notices."

Community helps couple weather blaze, aftermath
I had the unfortunate experience Saturday, Nov. 24, of having a very serious fire at my home in Harrison.
Although this was very traumatic, I must say how impressed I was with the professionalism, expertise and efficiency of the Harrison Fire Department and the other departments that worked with them. It is obvious that they spend many hours training and learning to work together. Every person knew his role and performed it with precision and expertise.
I hope you never have this experience, but if you do, be assured that you will be helped by a fine group of volunteers who will do their absolute best to save lives and property and will do so with professionalism, empathy and compassion.
Steve and I also want to thank everyone who has offered their help and support as we work our way through this. Friends and even people we haven't met have made it their goal to do everything they can to help us put our lives back together.
Maine may have difficult winters, but I believe Maine also has the finest people on the planet, and we are very fortunate to live here.

Senator's response to bill on royalties hits sour note
I recently emailed Sen. Olympia Snowe, urging her to oppose the Internet Radio Fairness Act, which, if enacted, would take hard-earned income (royalties — a paycheck) out of the pockets of thousands of songwriters and performers in Maine and across the country.
Sen. Snowe responded with a form letter that included the following sentence: "I have always been a staunch proponent of measures that make Internet and communications services more accessible by prohibiting discriminatory fees and taxes."
This sentence makes it very clear that Sen. Snowe does not understand the legislation. The royalties paid by Pandora and other Internet radio firms are not "discriminatory fees and taxes" — they are compensation paid to songwriters and performers for the hard work of creating and performing the music we all love.
Sen. Snowe should not take any position related to this bill until she understands the underlying issues.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - March 31, 2013 --A western Pennsylvania university has suspended the operations and activities of a fraternity while allegations involving images "of a sexual nature" are being investigated.
Carnegie Mellon University said in a statement Friday that the national fraternity organization had also suspended the Beta Theta Pi chapter.
Officials said a student notified them about alleged videos and pictures "of a sexual nature" taken in the fraternity house on the Pittsburgh campus and emailed to other members.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette says Dean Gina Casalegno told students in an email that officials believe "a relatively small number of individuals are depicted."
President Jared Cohon said in a statement that he's not presuming guilt but is "shocked and deeply disappointed" by the allegations.
University police are investigating and have sought help from outside law enforcement.
