Louise Glück
Louise Glück was born in New York City on April 22, 1943, and grew up on Long Island. She is the author of numerous books of poetry, most recently, Faithful and Virtuous Night (Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 2014), which won the 2014 National Book Award in Poetry; Poems 1962-2012 (Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 2012); A Village Life: Poems (Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 2009); Averno (Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 2006), a finalist for the 2006 National Book Award in Poetry; The Seven Ages (Ecco Press, 2001); and Vita Nova (Ecco Press, 1999), winner of Boston Book Review's Bingham Poetry Prize and The New Yorker's Book Award in Poetry. In 2004, Sarabande Books released her six-part poem "October" as a chapbook.
Her other books include Meadowlands (Ecco Press, 1996); The Wild Iris (Ecco Press, 1992), which received the Pulitzer Prize and the Poetry Society of America's William Carlos Williams Award; Ararat (Ecco Press, 1990), for which she received the Library of Congress's Rebekah Johnson Bobbitt National Prize for Poetry; and The Triumph of Achilles (Ecco Press, 1985), which received the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Boston Globe Literary Press Award, and the Poetry Society of America's Melville Kane Award.
In a review in The New Republic, the critic Helen Vendler wrote: "Louise Glück is a poet of strong and haunting presence. Her poems, published in a series of memorable books over the last twenty years, have achieved the unusual distinction of being neither 'confessional' nor 'intellectual' in the usual senses of those words."
Glück has also published a collection of essays, Proofs and Theories: Essays on Poetry (Ecco Press, 1994), which won the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for Nonfiction. Her honors include the Bollingen Prize in Poetry, the Lannan Literary Award for Poetry, a Sara Teasdale Memorial Prize, the MIT Anniversary Medal and fellowships from the Guggenheim and Rockefeller Foundations, and from the National Endowment for the Arts.
In 1999, Glück was elected a Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets. In the fall of 2003, she was appointed as the Library of Congress's twelfth poet laureate consultant in poetry. She served as judge of the Yale Series of Younger Poets from 2003 to 2010.
In 2008, Glück was selected to receive the Wallace Stevens Award for mastery in the art of poetry. Her collection, Poems 1962-2012, was awarded the 2013 Los Angeles Times Book Prize. In 2015, she was awarded the Gold Medal for Poetry from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
She is a writer-in-residence at Yale University.

Minneapolis — A father and son who bilked school districts into acquiring "free" fitness equipment as part of a pyramid scheme were sentenced Dec. 7 to lengthy prison terms and will have to pay $39 million in restitution. U.S. District Judge Joan Erickson of Minneapolis sentenced Cameron J. Lewis, 36, to 17 years in prison and his father, J. Tyron Lewis, 65, to 5 years, 8 months.
Cameron Lewis was the CEO of the Utah-based nonprofit organization National School Fitness Foundation. Tyron Lewis was its chairman and helped finance the operation. A jury in Minneapolis convicted the Lewises a year ago on five counts of mail fraud, nine counts of wire fraud, one count of bank fraud and one count of money-laundering conspiracy.
The U.S. Attorney's Office says that more than 350 school districts and dozens of banks nationwide lost nearly $40 million in the scheme, in which schools purchased the equipment in anticipation of refunds the foundation said would be obtained through government grants and private donations. In reality, the schools that purchased the equipment in the early stages of the scheme were reimbursed with the payments from schools that signed up later.
The Lewises never disclosed to schools that they were personally profiting from the foundation and paid themselves$1.4 million on the eve of the company's collapse. The foundation went bankrupt in 2004, and the Lewises were convicted in 2006.
In related cases, Shanna L. Black, Cameron Lewis' sister, pleaded guilty in February 2006 to misdemeanor charges for her work with the foundation. Marion H. Markle, the foundation's former chief financial officer, pleaded guilty in April 2006 to a felony related to the scheme to defraud. Joseph Mont Beardall, the president of School Fitness Systems LLC, which supplied the equipment to the foundation, pleaded guilty to fraud charges in 2004.

The company beat out rival meat heavyweight Pilgrim's Pride. Here's a look at how the offer came to be. — May 9 — Hillshire's stock closes at $36.95. — May 12 — Hillshire announces deal to buy Pinnacle Foods, which makes Birds Eye frozen vegetables, Wish Bone salad dressings and Hungry Man frozen dinners. The deal includes a clause that lets Hillshire consider proposals that might be more favorable to its shareholders, opening the door for Hillshire suitors. — May 27 — Pilgrim's Pride offer $45 per share for Hillshire, saying its offer is a superior alternative to Hillshire's plan to buy Pinnacle since they're both meat companies. The offer is contingent on the termination of Hillshire's deal to buy Pinnacle. Pilgrim's Pride says it will pay the $163 million breakup fee to end the deal with Pinnacle. —May 29 — Tyson Foods enters the fray with a $50 per share offer for Hillshire. Like Pilgrim's Pride, Tyson is looking to expand its lineup of branded, prepared products, which are more profitable than minimally processed meats such as chicken breasts. Tyson's offer is also contingent on the termination of the Pinnacle deal. — June 2 — Pilgrim's Pride raises its offer to $55 per share. — June 3 — Hillshire announces it will hold separate talks with Tyson and Pilgrim's Pride. — June 9 — Tyson announces its winning offer of $63 per share for Hillshire. Pilgrim's Pride says it will withdraw its offer. Pinnacle has yet to say whether it will agree to walk away from the deal. Back to news

I watched the Angels/Dodgers spring training game Sunday on television.
It wasn't nearly as much fun as sitting in the stands at Tempe Diablo Stadium, the Angels' spring training home field in Tempe, Ariz., where I spent part of last week.
Cactus League games are not about winning. They are an opportunity for players to shape up and try to impress the coaches, for the coaches to evaluate them, and for fans to get up close and personal with their favorite players.
Kids toss balls and Sharpies to the players, who oblige with autographs and toss the balls back.
How fun for a kid to boast of catching a ball thrown by Jered Weaver?
Older fans aren't much more than about 20 rows from the field, either in seats or less expensive bleachers. And almost every foul ball ends up tossed into the stands.
Diablo Stadium seats 9,558, according to the official program. The 75-acre complex was built in 1968 for the Seattle Pilots and Milwaukee Braves and renovated in 2005. The Angels took it over in 1995 and have it leased to 2025.
There are six and a half practice fields, in addition to the main stadium, which sits atop a butte — a modest climb. The Angels have staff-driven golf-carts wheeling from the parking lot to the entrance for those with less-than-youthful legs or lungs.
For the stat-lovers (show me a baseball fan who isn't): An 8-foot fence protects the folks seated on the knoll behind left field. Those seats are a bargain at $10. Dead centerfield is 420 feet from home plate; the left and right power alleys are 400 feet away.
Not an Angels fan? Fifteen teams, including the Dodgers, play in or around Phoenix.
Of course, the big draw for the Angels is Albert Pujols. He gets up two or three times per game, before he heads for the clubhouse, signing autographs all the way.
Pujols' name is ubiquitous on souvenir plastic cups, seemingly every other banner that hangs from the lampposts lining the streets around Diablo, and on the cover and in featured stories in the program.
"The Machine" is so popular with the fans — even opposing-team supporters cheer him — I wouldn't be surprised to hear people jokingly call centerfielder Peter Bourjos, "Bourhos." The speedy centerfielder was already one of my favorites, but even more so since he publicly favored the Angels resigning Torii Hunter when his contract ends.
Hunter came into training camp trimmer than last year, but with that same great smile — second in the sports world only to Magic Johnson's.
I also had a chance to watch off-season acquisition C.J. Wilson pitch four solid innings against the Cincinnati Reds on March 13, as well as non-roster invitee, David Carpenter.
Other invitees who played in the Angels' 3-1 victory over the Reds included Alberto Rosario, who would also play against Cleveland the next day when newly signed catcher Chris Iannetta caught a foul ball with his elbow and left the game in the second inning.
There wasn't as much "red" in the stands March 15 when the Angels played Cleveland, winning 7-0.
The game started off with a pop. Angel shortstop Erick Eybar, who is still in contract negotiations, whacked a home run on the first pitch. Pujols, batting third, also hit a home run in the first inning and a double in the fifth inning to raise his batting average to .455 — it has tailed off slightly since then.
Mark Trumbo, who was knocked off of first base by the acquisition of Pujols, is trying to hone the skills needed at third base.
Management wants him in the lineup for his bat. Earlier in the week, he had smashed a ball over the left field knoll, estimated to go 500 feet.
Garrett Richards, looking to become the fifth man in the regular season rotation, pitched four shutout innings, followed by a combination of Trevor Bell and LaTroy Hawkins, who are on the training camp roster, and three invitees, including Jason Isrinhausen, who was given a shot at making the squad.
One of the treats of spring training is getting to see "future Angels," such as Richards. I also saw shortstop Jean Segura, outfielder Kole Calhoun and pitcher Daniel Tillman.
Unfortunately, the Angels' No. 1 prospect, the highly touted Mike Trout, was sidelined by illness — he had lost 10 pounds, so we didn't see him — but we certainly will during the regular season.
Meantime, Kendrys Morales, who hadn't played a game since breaking his ankle in 2010, was playing in two minor league games, alternating between the Angels' Double A and Triple A teams. He got two hits in five at bats — feeling no pain and looking good.
So are the Angels.
'Why My Dad Is A Hero'
Mayor Jane Egly will present an award Thursday to the winner of the "Why My Dad Is My Hero" contest, sponsored by Miracles for Families.
The event celebrates fathers with stories of everyday heroics, written by their children.

Probe Gives Clearer, Real-Time Picture of Small Protein Changes
Multiuse affinity probe helps identify mechanisms for cell information transfer
Uljana Mayer-Cumblidge
Model depicting proposed mechanism of sequential calcium binding to opposing CaM domains on the protein's helices. Initial occupancy of calcium binding sites on the C-terminal domain (step 1) helps form a bridge between amino acids Tyr-138 and Glu-82 (step 2). The resulting stabilization disrupts interactions between helix A and basic side chains in helix D that include amino acids Lys-77 and Asp-2 (step 3). In step 4, a high-affinity binding cleft associated with target protein binding is formed. Letters correspond to individual helical elements; structure corresponds to that of calcium-activated CaM. Enlarged View
Results: Scientists can now monitor protein and cellular changes in real time and at levels previously undetectable because they have combined protein binding measurements and an environmentally sensitive molecular probe to learn more about cell information transfer. The results, which appeared in the September 2, 2008, issue of Biochemistry, will help in the quest to engineer cells for applications such as hydrogen or biofuel production as well as human health.
Scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory used the probe, called ReAsH1, to monitor changes in the calcium regulatory protein calmodulin, or CaM (see sidebar). They added a genetically engineered tagging sequence to CaM that enables ReAsH to specifically and tightly bind to the protein with rates that depend on protein structure. This probe-tag pair then allowed the identification of molecular interactions, or switching points, in CaM that mediate the transfer of information from one end of the protein to the other.
Why does it matter? The ability to see these levels of changes is the very basis of understanding protein communication and function. The study results illustrate the phenomenon of cooperativity in CaM; that is, once one change occurs, subsequent changes are easier. These results go to the heart of how that happens by demonstrating the mechanism of the binding of calcium in CaM domains.
According to PNNL biochemist Uljana Mayer, a co-author of the paper, "It's very exciting to be able to figure out what the switching points are in a protein and how one part of the protein relates to the other when change occurs. It's only now, with new techniques and methods, that we can observe these very, very small changes previously unable to be seen."
Understanding cellular communication, which occurs in large part via proteins and protein changes, is vital to understanding human disease. However, these studies could impact more than just health effects. Gaining a deeper understanding of how information is transmitted within a protein will, in the long term, enable scientists to predict protein behavior. Such knowledge can lead to being able to engineer proteins—for example, for use in hydrogen or biofuel production.
1Stands for Red Arsenical Hairpin; chemical name: 4,5-bis(1,3,2-dithioarsolan-2-yl)resorufin.
Methods: ReAsH is a conformationally sensitive probe whose binding rate depends on a protein's secondary structure; helices, sheets and loops formed by the amino acids in the protein, which taken together form domains to generate the so-called tertiary structure of the protein. It enables detection of structural changes associated with helix distortions or fraying. Helices look like curled ribbons. The protein molecules twist and wind into a helix, and hydrogen bonds that form between along the proteins hold it in shape in successive turns.
ReAsH becomes highly fluorescent when it binds near the end of one of four helixes in a region of CaM. It then can indicate changes in the helix dynamics, enabling the scientists to detect conformational transitions in response to calcium and protein binding. The conformation of a protein determines its biological function in the cell by providing exposed binding sites by which the protein binds to other cell components or structures.
Laboratory Fellow Thomas Squier developed the model (see figure) that explains how the process works. The observed changes suggest an important involvement of the helix in relaying the information about the coupling of the domains. When calcium is bound, ReAsH binds more slowly. The scientists think that is because the helix gets more helical, or more regular, which binds the probe less well.
What's next: The researchers plan to measure real-time changes of CaM in living cells to generate functional imaging data that can be used to develop predictive models of cellular function. Likewise, extending this approach will be important in developing bioenergy applications, as the molecular mechanisms associated with the maturation and targeting of key proteins (e.g., hydrogenases) can be directly measured.

The simple, frank observations
and inner thoughts of a school-girl
who confided in her diary
over a period of two years have
resulted in her becoming not only
the heroine of one of the most
brilliantly successful plays of the
last twenty years, but also in be-coming
an international symbol of

This play, The Diary of Anne

Albert Hackett is based on the
real diary a Jewish girl kept while
she was hiding out with her fam-ily
from the Nazis in Holland dur-ing
World War II, the play not
only has had a phenominal success
in New York and all over Amer-ica,
but also throughout the world.
In Germany itself the play
created sensational interest when
first presented there in 1957. That
the sweet and sunnily-disposition-ed
girl of the play blithely hiding
from imminent arrest and death
at the hands of the Nazis, was
actually arrested at the end of
two years of seclusion, and then
died in a concentration camp just
a few weeks before the Allied
Anne Frank, played by Judy E.
Carlson, gives her father, John
Quam, a big hug as he gives her
the famous diary.
Armies liberated that part of Ger-many,
seemed a personal accusa-tion
to thronging German audien-ces
who were so stunned at the
end of each performance that they
forgot to applaud.
In consequence the dramatization
of her diary became the most
popular play in the history of the
German stage. To see it, became
for many Germans a ceremonial of
penitence and confession—a point
of national remorse. The diary of
the young Jewish girl has also
been read in book form and is very
well liked.

We the Students . . . 1 or Should the
Constitution Read 'We the Few'?
by James Spickelmier
"We, the students .. . recogniz-ing
the importance of co-curricu-lar
activities as an aspect of our
educational experience, do hereby
join ourselves together and estab-lish
this association for the pur-pose
of promoting better co-ordi-nation
of these activities, and a
closer relationship between the
student body and the administra-tion
and faculty."
This is the beginning of the
preamble to our Bethel student
association constitution, "We, the
students . . ." As a campus and
as a student government, we are
too often guilty of rewriting the
preamble to read; "We, the few
. .." Our senate works throughout
the year on issues of importance
to the entire student body, with-out
many on our campus realizing
that there is a functioning stu-dent
government. As a campus
body, we should be aware of the
activities of the student senate.
The last senate meeting was
held Feb. 27, in the faculty lounge.
One of the items of more general
interest was the report on the
fieldhouse curtain project. The
junior, sophomore, and freshman
class presidents reported that their
classes had voted to divide the
remaining cost ($119) for the
fieldhouse curtain. Through the
cooperation of these classes, Home-coming
profits, and the senior class
gift, a curtain will be installed in
the fieldhouse this spring, to pro-vide
more adequate facilities for
convocations, graduation, concerts,
and drama productions.
The senate set up a committee
to deal with the very practical
problem of student parking. An in-crease
in the number of cars on
campus, coupled with our limited
parking facilities, has brought the
problem of traffic control to the
attention of the administration and
the senate. Will it be necessary
to limit the number of cars on
campus? Feeling that the students
should have a voice in traffic regu-lation,
a senate committee was set
up to seek possible solutions.
Peggy Leunk from the Spire
staff has been working with the
student senate in trying to obtain
better student pictures for next
year. The senate and the Spire
are interested in improving the
quality of the pictures, while still
retaining reasonable prices.
Unsatisfied with limiting their
efforts to the present, practical
questions, the senate has attempt-ed
to plan for the future also. Two
items in the last meeting will have
important significance in years to
First, the senate is going
through an active program of self-evaluation.
There is a desire that
student government might repre-sent
the students in the most ac-curate,
efficient way. The basic
areas of concern are stated in the
motion beginning official consid-eration
of senate reorganization.
These areas are as follows: "1.
How to improve the function of
student government on campus. 2.
How to broaden the base of repre-sentation.
3. How to unify the
direction of the educational pur-poses."
A discussion with Gary Cook,
the architect working with Bethel's
expansion program, was the clos-ing
item of business.
"We, the students . . ." Is our
student body aware of the activi-ties
of student government? Are
they interested in becoming a-ware?
Perhaps we need to change
our mottos from "apathetic" to
"energetic," and "conformed" to
An open invitation is extended
to all students to sit in on senate
meetings. The next meeting is
scheduled for March 13.
'God Expects Nothing . . . Every Demand
On Me is A Demand On His Life in Me'
Are Students Blind to
The 3 % Interest Rate?
Are students being deceived by the interest rate on loans being
contracted in the student affairs office or are they all intelligent
enough to read the "fine print" and ask enough questions to discover
what the interest rate really is ?
When a Bethel student receives a $300 loan in Feb. he signs a
promissory note agreeing to pay the loan plus a three per cent per
anum interest rate and a three dollar service charge by the due date
of Aug. 1. There is nothing upsetting about this except that three
per cent per anum on a six month loan immediately becomes six per
cent plus the three dollar service charge equals eight per cent of the
It seems that in a school such as Bethel, matters such as this
should be made obvious to the student body. Why not tell the students
what the Bethel rate really is ?
What Kind of Leadership Does
Bethel Need--Popular or Responsible?
One week from tomorrow the members of the Bethel Student assoc-iation
will go to the polls and cast their votes for the candidates whom
they wish to give the responsibility of leading our student governmnent
in the coming year. Perhaps it would be well for all of us to once again
consider the qualities of true leaders, or better yet—what kind of
leadership does Bethel need ?
Bethel needs student leaders who are concerned that all we do is
centered in Jesus Christ. Someone once said that for the Christian all
things in life take on value and meaning only as they relate to the king-dom
of God. A good student leader senses the constant need to evaluate
in light of this standard and to strive to make all of our programs,
activities, and the like truly Christian.
Bethel needs mature leaders. There is no place for goof-offs, anti-intellectuals,
pseudo-intellectuals, mere office-seekers, or any other
type of immature people in student government. The Bethel Student
association deserves the finest in social, intellectual, emotional, and
spiritual maturity in its leaders.
Bethel needs student leaders who desire to be servants. Student
government is no place for people who are not willing to give hours of
time, thought, and energy in the service of the student body. A good
student leader wants to serve his fellows—even to the point of per-sonal
Bethel needs able leaders. Ability to lead meetings, express ideas
clearly, think through problems thoroughly and objectively, work close-ly
with people, delegate responsibilities to others, and sense student
needs and problems are among requirements of able leaders.
Bethel needs experienced leaders in the senate. Senate officers
should not be a ground-breaking experience in student leadership. A
position of such significant stature demands a background of varied
experiences in student government work.
This final word must be included: a Student Senate election should
not be a popularity contest! Be objective when you contemplate your
choices. Serious matters demand intelligent thinking!

Alan Redpath has pointed to a striking truth
that should cause Christian's to re-evaluate their
manner of effort in Christian living. "God expects
nothing of me except failure . . . so that every
demand on me is a demand on His life within me."
In what way do we try to live our Christian
life? What characterizes our effort? How do we
think of ourselves with regard to the good that we
might do in life? What do we count as being good?
Does God also see it as good? These questions,
that on answering, will show the color of our
thinking concerning our view of ourself and our
view of the manner in which God works to make
us righteous.
God regards self-effort on our part as sin be-cause
it centers, at time, supreme attention on the
personal ego. God's view of man's efforts for the
good are utterly abhored when the God is not
looked to as the guiding and empowering principle
of life. We will find that our efforts for good van-ish
before our eyes if the life of perfect Goodness
is not fully operative in us.
We must realize that in redemption Christ re-deemed
our striving and our efforts. The good was
impossible before salvation; but the barrier was
burst at salvation as the power of a new goal, a
new determining and ruling force, a new kingdom
broke through to us. Our striving was changed and
united to Christ's effort, His effort and striving
being one with ours.
What is our general feeling or attitude and
concern as we kneel in prayer? If we do not sense
the rest of eternity in time; if we are not encom-passed
by a power that takes hold of our effort to
please God; we should fall from our position of
ego-effort to a strong sense of God within.
Effort requires power, and God does not regard
our power highly. If you regard your power as
something worthwhile, then re-examine your faith
in God's power. The demands placed on you in life
should not issue or depend on your personal power
to carry them out, for the power of His kingdom
is not grounded there. What God demands only God
can do, for He is God and there is no other like
Him. With this concept an experiential reality
"every demand on you is a demand on God's life
within you."

Expansion and improvement are
two signs of the activity which
has characterized the Bethel band
during the current year. The band
has taken important strides toward
attaining a more meaningful posi-tion
in the campus musical pic-ture.
The band functions in a dual
capacity, performing as both pep
band and concert ensemble. As a
pep band, it has helped to initiate
and maintain school spirit at ath-letic
events. Newly acquired band
sweatshirts identify the band in
its complementary role to the ath-letic
Within the sphere of action as
a concert organization, the band
provides a musical prelude to many
convocations and will have a role
in commencement week activities.
A bold step forward was taken a
month ago with the first out of
town trip for the concert ensemble.
The concert was performed in Du-luth.

In a specially-called session last
Monday night, members of the
student senate moved to take im-mediate
action in support of Min-nesota's
legislative efforts against
discrimination in housing.
Senate president Bruce Leafblad
opened the session by presenting
a condensation of the proposed
measure. He emphasized that stu-dent
interest should be centered
semble is attested by the chosen
selections on the spring program
such as "Raymond Overture" by
Thomas; "Folk Song Suite" by
Williams; "Czech Rhapsody" by
Weinburger; and "The Three

the works of two of the
giants in instrumental music, the

the civil rights aspect of the
proposal as opposed to problems
raised by specific legislation.
After discussion, the senate
moved to lend its support to fair
housing in Minnesota by alerting
the state legislature to these atti-tudes,
attempting to educate the
constituency and acquainting the
student body of the issue's details
and senate response.
The senate's desire for action
on this matter led to appointing
a committee for the purpose of
sending out material of a general
educational nature to all pastors
of Minnesota Conference churches;
and the cabinet was empowered
to inform the legislature and the
student body.

In the feature game of intra-mural

edged the Barons 48-46. Tight de-fensive
teamwork on both sides
made the game hardfought all the

fell two points short. Clause with

The surprising Squires posted

performance, Bruce Erickson hit
22, and Stan Nelson rippled the

Royals Trounce
Pillsbury, 78-50
Bethel pummeled Pillsbury 7840
in conference hardcourt competi-tion.
In gaining momentum for its
traditional head-on Founder's
Week clash with Northwestern,
Bethel submerged the smaller
Pillsbury crew with a second half
display of fireworks. A lack of
all around team support seemed
to be the underlying reason for
the close 34-27 halftime Bethel
lead. Spurred on by the "get
tough" words of assistant coach
Bud Pierce, the Bethel boys un-loaded
heavy artillery and rode
back home with a 28 point triumph.
Truman Turnquist and Jim Ek-blad
teamed up to turn a 5-4 defi-cit
into a 17-6 lead early in the
first half. The Pillsbury snipers
trimmed the margin to 30-22. A
mere five points separated the
teams as Pillsbury's rally reached
a peak just before the half. John
Peterson's long jumper hit home
just as the first half ended.
Within five minutes of the sec-ond
half, the charged-up Royals
had a 46-31 margin. Led by Turn-quist,
Ekblad, and Jan Kolbrek,
the lead increased to a topheavy
75-44 with Roger Olson's three
point hook shot. Ekblad and Turn-quist
with 20 points each, Peter-son
with nine, and Dave Peterman
with 10 were the offensive geneii
for Bethel. Foster led the losers
with 13 points.

Having a talented nucleus is
certainly desirable according to
Halleen, but also necessary is a
new group of eager personnel. Any
interested parties are therefore
urged to don their gym shoes and

Coach Jerry Healy's Bethel cag-ers
conquered Milton 67-49 and
Northwestern (Wis.) 83-6'5 to close
out the Badger-Gopher conference
race with a 10-2 slate. The week-end
trip to the Badger state Feb.
24-25 saw the Royals come up with
some hot second-half shooting and
a tight defense to win both games
going away.
The Royals rebounded surpris-ingly
well from the ill-fated
Founder's Week defeat at the
Tops Bethel
The Bethel Royals met defeat at
the hands of Northwestern college
of Minneapolis. Free throws made
the difference as the final score
was 83-76. The game was played
on Bethel's floor before a packed
fieldhouse of Founder's Week par-ticipants
and avid Northwestern
A bright spot in the game for
the Royals was the performance
by Truman Turnquist who poured
in 32 points. Bethel was plagued
with unbalanced scoring as only
two other players scored ten or
more points.
Northwestern had four men in
double figures. Stan Amundson
was the big gun for them hitting
a total of 26 points to lead North-western
to their victory.
The game was decided in the
first half as the Eagles gained an
early lead and maintained it
throughout the game. They man-aged
to squelch any scoring spurt
that Bethel could start by a fine
offensive and defensive job.
Despite these problems, the Roy-als
fought hard and did not give
up even when the scoreboard and
timeclock made it virtually im-possible
for them to win. They still
did not give up until the final
buzzer rang.
This was the second conference
tilt for them this season. The final
score, again, 83-76, Northwestern
over Bethel.

hands of Northwestern of Minnea-polis
to defeat a strong Milton
squad Friday afternoon. Bethel
started slowly and left the court
at the intermission with a slim
29-25 margin. They began to crack
the whip with a sharp fast break
as the second half started, how-ever,
which made a shambles of
Milton's zone defense and allowed
the visitors to pile up 38 points in
the final twenty minutes of action.
The race-horse offense and a
sticky defense made a fine com-bination
as Milton could manage
only 24 points in the second half
for the Royal's final 67-49 margin.
The defense was again led by
Dave Peterman and Lee Bajun-iemi,
although each of the six
Royals who played certainly con-tributed
their share as the final
score clearly indicates. John Peter-son
led the rebounding against
the home team's 6'4" Ken Ganser
and 6'3" Roger Fenrick.
Reliable Truman Turnquist again
led Bethel's offense with a total
of 25 points. The majority of his
ten baskets were scored on his
favorite medium-range jump shot
while he rounded out his total
with five of five free throws.
John Peterson followed Turn-quist
in the scoring with 14 points.
Jim Ekblad was held scoreless in
the first half, but the big center
contributed five buckets to the
second half surge and he finished
with 10 points. Bajuniemi and
Peterman scored eight and six
points respectively, while Jan Kol-brek
had one basket to round out
the scoring. Fenrick led the losers
with 17 points.
N. W. (Wis.) Falls
Saturday night at Watertown,
Wis., the Royals poured on the
pressure for an 83-65 victory at
the expense of Northwestern's
hot-and-cold squad. This was
Bethel's fourth game within a six-day
stretch, and the fine condition
of the squad was clearly shown
as the Royals penetrated North-western's
man-to-man defense time
and again. Both teams shot ex-tremely
well (Bethel was charted
at 58% for the first half) but
again the Royals won easily.
Turnquist again led the offen-sive
thrust with 26 points. The
Grasston, Minn., senior's final
game was a typical performance
as he poured in eight buckets and
10 of 11 free tosses. This gave him
a 51-point total for the weekend,
including 15 of 16 free throws.
Lee Bajuniemi and Dave Peter-man,
Bethel's terrible two-some
at the guard posts, each played
their usual fine game. Bajuniemi
hit eight baskets while Peterman
added five. Each converted three
free throws in as many attempts
giving Bajuniemi a grand total of
17 points while Peterman finished
with 13. John Peterson rebounded
well and also contributed 13 points
to the winning total. Ekblad added
eight points and Jan Kolbrek six
to complete the scoring.

South Dakota Schools See Path to Better Health
SIOUX FALLS - Several Sioux Falls elementary schools are encouraging students to walk or run more in an effort to promote a healthier and more active lifestyle.
Eugene Field Elementary School is one of the schools. Principal Ann Davis says that when people are physically active, they learn better.
Renberg Elementary also has a walking program. Gym teachers hand out chains to each student, and when students reach various mileage benchmarks, they earn foot-shaped charms.
Renberg Principal Patricia Pannell tells the Argus Leader that 106 out of the school's 190 students have earned at least one charm.
Cleveland Elementary has a before-school running club and has maps in the gym charting the students' and staffs' progress toward walking the equivalent of the length of the United States.

text: Hello all, I'm new to the list and just thought I'd introduce myself, as will probably be posting to the list a bit. I'm a system administrator for a Beowulf cluster at UW-Milwaukee. It's a 22 node 2.4GHz Intel cluster running Linux that is dedicated to studying clouds (using wrf and COAMPS (MPI based software)). It's a student job, and a lot of fun. I'm a Computer Science major, and have all the Computer Science course done (just have a few math classes left). I'm starting to think about Grad school and Master Thesis stuff, though that is a little way off. Along this vein, if anyone has any suggestions as to hot research topics a CS major with access to a few spare clock cycles Beowulf cluster might be interested in, please feel free to send them to me. ;) I've only been admin-ing the cluster for about a year, so I don't know how much I'll be able to help people with questions... But I may throw an idea out once in a while. I suppose here I may be asking more than answering the questions, as it seems a lot of you have quite a bit of experience with larger clusters. - Jeremy

The Browns placed their second running back on injured reserve in two days on Tuesday when they announced that Montario Hardesty would not play at all this season.
Hardesty had arthroscopic knee surgery earlier this month, a procedure that came on the heels of a dislocated thumb and a hamstring injury that had dropped him down the depth chart behind Dion Lewis. Lewis is on injured reserve right alongside him after fracturing his leg.
That was one of the moves the Browns made on Tuesday to get down to the 75-man limit. They actually dropped even lower, but claimed a couple of players off waivers to bump their total back up. They claimed punter Colton Schmidt, who was with the 49ers, and linebacker Paul Hazel, formerly of the Jaguars, to round out the roster for the rest of the week. Neither player figures to do much more than that, however.
The Browns moved offensive lineman Chris Faulk to the reserve/non-football injury list and released linebacker Kendrick Adams, offensive lineman Dominic Alford, wide receiver Dominique Croom, defensive lineman Nicolas Jean-Baptiste, fullback Owen Marecic, offensive lineman Ryan Miller and tight end Travis Tannahill to complete their transactions for the day.

Please remember that the Hayate no Gotoku manga is licensed by Viz under the name "Hayate the Combat Butler".
Since it is licensed the following posts are no longer allowed
Thread Guidelines
You still are allowed to discuss the manga, that has not changed but please remember to limit the discussion to the story itself.
If you wish to discuss the English translated manga, then please post in the Hayate the Combat Butler manga (Viz Edition only). End of edit by Mod (Pellissier & xris)
Anyone following this series?
Hayate is an ordinary highschool student who's parents are compulsive gamblers and sell his organs to the local yakuza. While escaping them, Hayate instead gains a job as a butler for a girl who has some 'interesting' tastes.
It's licensed now but it's a great show. It really reminds me of Zero No Tsukaima set in a mansion. I hate that the 5th volume (Because fansubs stopped at 4 when it was licensed) will probably not be out until November 2007 but it's a great light comedy romp.
I wonder how it ended (If it did)

I love Hayate, I'm sad that the group that was scanlating it stopped, but on the other hand, I'm very happy that it was picked up by Viz for distribution in my country. AFAIK, it's actually still ongoing, volume 7 was released earlier this year.
I'm really hoping that by this time next year they'll be announcing an anime.

Doesn't remind me of ZeroNoTsukaima too much yet. Pretty good manga so far though
except for chapter8. That just seemed like a bad decision. Pick a targert audience already lol. If it's yaoi fans, have the crossdressing from the start. If it's hetero guys, which it seemed to be, might want to just skip it.

Loli girl who likes to beat up on her 'Slave/Butler' and has a best friend who looks like Siesta and a Maid who Hayate is more interested in?
Except for Tama all the characters look like ZnT. Was chapter 8 where they dress him up in the Nekomimi?

I just read Vol 1-8, and I must say, this manga is really, really good. It just keeps getting better and better as it moves along. Like Pani Poni Dash!, the manga is filled with references to other manga/anime, and often breaks the fourth wall.
I highly recommend it to anyone whom can get it.
Sadly though, Viz appears to be releasing the volumes every 4 months
And the chapters are being released by Weekly Shounen Sunday; doesn't that mean it is a weekly release like Negima?
And yes, Ch8 was when Nagi and Maria got carried away and dressed him up in Nekomimi.

For some weird reason I was thinking it was the same magazine as FMA - not the same magazine as Midori no Hibi.
EDIT: I also don't really get the ZnT references - I guess at some level it seems like it, but it has a much different feel to me. In a lot of ways it reminds me of a less-ecchi, reversed He Is My Master.

Hmm...the manga started in 2004, so I'm guessing the usual 3 months or something per volume?
I'm reading through the scanslations/raws again to tide me over till Viz releases Vol 2. Its just that good

Let's put it this way, I have the manga and frankly, this is one of the few manga series I have that after reading it ~8 times over, I still want to re-read it .
HMM, on the other hand....(look at the plastic storage box on my floor...
In other word, if I had to burn my manga one by one to save the world, this series would be among the last ones I would burn .
The jokes are somewhat similar to PPD, with many ACG parodies/references and ironic moments- lots of "Kyon style" scolding (I don't know what's the english name for that term is). Thankfully, the jokes are much more straightforward than PPD is.
One of the main attraction about this manga is that there is a plot that makes sense (for a comedy)
(even though 8 volumes later, only 3 months have past in the story...).
Most people stop reading after the 1st volume because they were repulsed at how horrible the main character's parents are- they are beyond cruel, in a very hilarious sort of way ;D
If you can last through the first 2 volumes, however, you are in the clear. I originally stopped following the story after two volumes, but its popularity compelled me to resume.

I really wonder how the hell can THIS be translated for general public. I find myself reading through the cultural references like 1/3 of the time(and I am already fairly educated in them, so it's going to be many times worse for ordinary people), and still A LOT of the jokes completely loose their punch.
Stupid, stupid choice for Viz.

A Call to Be Truly Missional
Many of you reading this are living alongside us in a post-Christian Western culture. One where the term evangelism is a bit outdated and to be missional is in vogue. Europe and North America have become more and more like a mission field—but a post-Christian, rather than pre-Christian field. We now need a more missions-like engagement even on battleground here on the home front.
There are pros and cons to the missional mindset. Our churches must pursue mission among our own people. There is always an intensifying need for the gospel around us. The danger is focusing exclusively on this to the neglect of the nations.
We can't be truly missional without preserving a place for, and giving priority to, the pursuit of the unreached. It doesn't matter how much a church may say that it is being missional; it is not fully missional in the biblical sense if it is not both pursuing mission at home among native reached people and being an engaged sender in support of missionaries to the unreached.
What does this mean?
It means that there will be suffering. The Great Commission is a call for martyrs. Suffering is not only the consequence of completing the commission, but it is God's appointed means by which he will show the superior worth of his Son to all the peoples.
It means that Jesus will be with you. At the border of a closed country, in the learning of a new language, in the disorientation of a new culture, in speaking the gospel when your hearers may turn on you, in persecution, in jail—he will be with you.
We are in a unique place in history. The gospel has already been accomplished in the work of Christ. Now, God has widened his scope, so to speak, to all the nations and inaugurated the Spirit-empowered age of go and tell—or better yet, go and disciple.
This commission will not fail. God's pursuit of his glory makes the cause of missions unstoppable.
Content modified from "Missions" (Chapter 18) by David Mathis in Don't Call It a Comeback (Kevin DeYoung, ed.). Don't Call It a Comeback takes a new look at the relevance and theological foundations of Christian orthodoxy and evangelicalism. Download a sample chapter or learn more.

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) Two years ago, Cam Newton and the Auburn Tigers were unstoppable.
Newton and fellow star Nick Fairley have long since headed to the NFL after spearheading the 2010 national title run - and the Tigers' fall has been as dramatic as that sudden rise.
Now, after one of the program's worst starts in six decades, even a bowl game seems out of reach and Gene Chizik's job security has become a hot topic around the state.
Even former Auburn coach Pat Dye, who has been a big Chizik supporter, said on a syndicated radio show that he doesn't think the Tigers will win a Southeastern Conference game. Dye said the offensive problems, starting at quarterback, are unsolvable.
The Tigers play at favored Vanderbilt on Saturday.
Chizik said he wasn't aware of those comments and insists he's tuning out the criticism and urging his players to do the same, just like he wanted them to ignore the praise during that title run.
``My day when I walk through the door consists of my coaches and my players and the direction that we're headed,'' Chizik said Monday. ``What makes college football great is that, you know what, there's going to be people on the radio, there's going to be people on the TV, there's going to be people outside now that can say and do whatever they want and it can be public as it can be. And hey that's great. That's great.
``But if I concerned myself with all of that, then that would suck the energy and the life out of me trying to do a job that I know I've got to stay concentrating on one thing, trying to keep my coaches and my players on the path of improvement.''
The Tigers (1-5, 0-4 SEC) are off to their worst start since 1998 when coach Terry Bowden leapt off a sinking ship in midseason after starting with the same record. They haven't opened 1-6 since Ralph ``Shug'' Jordan's second team won only twice in 1952.
No team has fallen so far so fast from a national title since the BCS era began in 1998. The most comparable - and they're really not unless Auburn manages a huge turnaround - were both from SEC teams: Tennessee followed up the 1998 title with 9-3 and 8-4 seasons; LSU endured 8-5 and 9-4 seasons before returning to form after the 2007 championship.
Both remained respectable, though.
It doesn't appear there's a quick fix at Auburn, especially on offense.
A quarterback change from Kiehl Frazier to Clint Moseley didn't really jumpstart the Tigers, who rank 116th nationally in total offense and only one spot better in scoring.
The Tigers' fall to 8-5 last season came after losing most of the starters from the team that went 14-0, including the Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 overall NFL draft pick Newton and fellow first-rounder Fairley.
This season was projected to be a similar rebuilding year despite three straight top 10 recruiting classes. Auburn, with new coordinators, implemented new offensive and defensive schemes. The Tigers also had lost star tailback Mike Dyer after he was released from his scholarship following an indefinite suspension for violating team rules. Onetime starting quarterback Barrett Trotter decided not to return for his fifth season.
Still, there weren't clear indications things would get this bad, though.
Auburn opened the season losing just 26-19 to No. 14 Clemson - and a few weeks later dropped a 12-10 game to No. 6 LSU.
Then came a 17-point loss to an Arkansas team that seemed in a similar boat, and a three-touchdown defeat at Mississippi. Now, the Tigers are touchdown underdogs at Vandy. Chizik said climbing out of this hole will require ``an unbending mentality,'' starting with him.
``Our focus every day is to improve and win,'' he said. ``We've got challenges on our team in every phase. I think that's obvious if you watch us play.''
Freshman wide receiver Sammie Coates took the veterans to task a week ago for a lack of leadership.
Tight end Philip Lutzenkirchen said the Tigers haven't given up, but Ole Miss and Arkansas have outscored them 31-0 in the fourth quarter the last two games.
He also defended Chizik, who was defensive coordinator on unbeaten teams at Auburn and Texas.
"it's just part of the job,'' Lutzenkirchen said. ``He's still a great coach. He's been a part of three undefeated seasons in the past decade, so there's no doubt about it that he's a good coach. We're in a hole and I think what he does from here on is going to continue to define him as a coach. He's going to continue to fight and lead this team. ``

The number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits edged higher last week but remained at pre-recession levels, a signal of growing strength in the labor market.
Continue Reading Below
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits rose 1,000 to a seasonally adjusted 308,000, the Labor Department said on Thursday.
The data could provide some of the strongest guidance this week on the health of the U.S. economy as a partial government shutdown delays the release of economic data, including the monthly employment report which was scheduled to be released on Friday.
New jobless claims have been falling for much of this year and for weeks there have been fewer of them than even before the 2007-09 recession began, a signal that the long cycle of elevated layoffs had ended.
However, employers have been more reticent about taking new workers on, and many economists doubt whether the claims data still provides a clear signal on the pace of hiring.
The jobless claims data can also be volatile, although a Labor Department analyst said there was nothing unusual in last week's data.
The four-week average of new claims, which smooths out weekly volatility, fell 3,750 to 305,000, the lowest level since May 2007.
Long-standing jobless claims rose sharply in the week ending September 21, which the department analyst said reflected California catching up on unprocessed claims following an update to its computer processing systems.

Hydrocephalus is a buildup of fluid inside the skull that leads to brain swelling.
Hydrocephalus means "water on the brain."
Alternative Names
Water on the brain
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Hydrocephalus is due to a problem with the flow ofthe fluid that surrounds the brain. This fluid is called the cerebrospinalfluid, or CSF. It surrounds the brain and spinal cord, and helps cushion the brain.
CSF normally moves through the brain and the spinal cord, and is soakedinto the bloodstream.CSF levels in the brain can rise if:
- The flow of CSF is blocked
- It does not get absorbed into the blood properly
- Your brain makes too much of it
Too much CSF putsputs pressure on the brain. This pushes the brain upagainst the skull and damage brain tissue.
Hydrocephalus may begin while the baby is growing in the womb. It is common in babies who have a
Hydrocephalus may also be due to:
- Genetic defects
- Certain infections during pregnancy
In young children, hydrocephalus may result fromthe following conditions:
- Infections that affect the central nervous system (such as meningitis or encephalitis), especially in infants
- Bleeding in the brain during or soon after delivery (especially in premature babies)
- Injury before, during, or after childbirth, including subarachnoid hemorrhage
- Tumors of the central nervous system, including the brain or spinal cord
- Injury or trauma
Hydrocephalus most often occurs in children, but may also occur in adults and the elderly. See:
Symptoms of hydrocephalus depend on:
- Age
- Amount of brain damage
- What is causing the buildup of CSF fluid
In infants with hydrocephalus, it causes the fontanelle (soft spot) to bulge and the head to be larger than expected. Early symptoms may also include:
- Eyes that appear to gaze downward
- Irritability
- Seizures
- Separated sutures
- Sleepiness
- Vomiting
Symptoms that may occur in older children can include:
- Brief, shrill, high-pitched cry
- Changes in personality, memory, or the ability to reason or think
- Changes in facial appearance and eye spacing
- Crossed eyes or uncontrolled eye movements
- Difficulty feeding
- Excessive sleepiness
- Headache
- Irritability, poor temper control
- Loss of bladder control (urinary incontinence)
- Loss of coordination and trouble walking
- Muscle spasticity (spasm)
- Slow growth (child 0 - 5 years)
- Slow or restricted movement
- Vomiting
Signs and tests
The doctor or nurse will examine the baby. This may show:
- Stretched or swollen veins on the baby's scalp
- Abnormal sounds when the health care provider taps lightly on the skull, suggesting a problem with the skull bones
- All or part of the head may be larger than normal, usually in the front part
- Eyes that look "sunken in"
- White part of the eye appears over the colored area, making it look like a "setting sun"
- Reflexes may be normal
Head circumference measurements, repeated over time, may show that the head is getting bigger.
A head CT scan is one of the best tests for identifying hydrocephalus. Other tests that may be done include:
- Arteriography
- Brain scan using radioisotopes
- Cranial ultrasound (an ultrasound of the brain)
- Lumbar puncture and examination of the cerebrospinal fluid (rarely done)
- Skull x-rays
The goal of treatment is to reduce or prevent brain damage by improving the flow of CSF.
Surgery may be done to remove a blockage, if possible.
If not,a flexible tube called a shuntmay be placed in the brain to re-route the flow of CSF. The shunt sends CSF to another part of the body, such as the belly area, where it can be absorbed.
Other treatments may include:
- Antibiotics are given if there are signs of infection. Severe infections may require the shunt to be removed.
- A procedure called endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV), which relieves pressure without replacing the shunt.
- Removing or burning away (cauterizing) the parts of the brain that produce CSF.
The child will need regular check-ups to make sure there are no further problems. Testsare regularly done to check the child's developmental and for intellectual, neurological, or physical problems.
Visiting nurses, social services, support groups, and local agencies can provide emotional support and assist with the care of a child with hydrocephalus who has significant brain damage.
Support Groups
Expectations (prognosis)
Without treatment, up to 6 in 10 people with hydrocephalus will die. Those who survive have different amounts of intellectual, physical, and neurological disabilities.
The outlook depends on the cause.Hydrocephalus that is not due to aninfection has the best outlook. Persons with hydrocephalus caused by tumors usually do very poorly.
Most children with hydrocephalus that survive for 1 year will have a fairly normal life span.
The shunt may become blocked. Symptoms of such a blockage include headache and vomiting. Surgeons may be able to help the shunt open without having to replace it.
There may be other problems with the shunt, such as kinking, tube separation, or infection in the area of the shunt.
Other complications may include:
- Complications of surgery
- Infections such as meningitis or encephalitis
- Intellectual impairment
- Nerve damage (decrease in movement, sensation, function)
- Physical disabilities
Calling your health care provider
Seek immediate medical care if your child has any symptoms of this disorder. Go to the emergency room or call 911 if emergency symptoms occur, which include:
- Breathing problems
- Extreme drowsiness or sleepiness
- Feeding difficulties
- Fever
- High-pitched cry
- No pulse (heart beat)
- Seizures
- Severe headache
- Stiff neck
- Vomiting
You should also call your health care provider if the child has been diagnosed with hydrocephalus and the condition gets worse and you are unable to care for him or her at home.
Protect the head of an infant or child from injury. Prompt treatment of infections and other disorders associated with hydrocephalus may reduce the risk of developing the disorder.

Falcao's 'heart is broken' by knee injury
Colombia striker Radamel Falcao will have surgery "in the next few days" to repair a torn left anterior cruciate ligament, AS Monaco confirmed Thursday.
• Vickery: No Falcao? No problem
• World Cup Daily: Tuesday
• Delaney: Group C preview
"Following Wednesday's injury, Radamel Falcao made a diagnostic examination. It appears that the player is suffering from trauma in the left knee with lesion of ligament anterior cruciate," AS Monaco said in a statement Thursday.
"The player will have surgery in next few days. Doctors will do everything possible to speed up recovery."
The impending surgery puts Falcao's participation in the World Cup in doubt.
Falcao admitted on Twitter on Thursday night that the injury was a devastating blow for him -- but at the same time he is not yet ready to accept his chances of making the finals are over completely.
He wrote in Spanish: "I want to thank all of you for so many messages of support in the last few hours, I'm really touched by the warmth that's been shown to me from all over the world.
"I'm not going to deny that my sadness is huge, my heart is broken, but I'm clinging to the smallest hope, and that's enough to think that my World Cup dream is still alive.
"God makes possible the improbable, I believe in Him!!!"
Muchas gracias a todos!!! pic.twitter.com/QABcwNSknO
— Radamel Falcao (@FALCAO) January 23, 2014
Falcao, 27, was carried off the pitch on a stretcher on Wednesday night following a heavy challenge by Soner Ertek in the 40th minute of Monaco's 3-0 Coupe de France win at Monts d'Or Azergues.
EFE reported that Jose Carlos Noronha, a specialist who treats Falcao, as telling it that the former Atletico Madrid forward has suffered damage to the anterior cruciate ligaments in his left knee and can expect to be out of action for six months.
"We are all very concerned over what happened with our star Falcao and we are vowing for his quick recovery," Jose Manuel Santos, President of Colombia, said from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Falcao -- who scored nine goals in World Cup qualifying for Colombia -- is now set to travel to Oporto for further tests in order to discover the full extent of the injury.
Colombia international and Monaco teammate James Rodriguez offered his support, saying "Strength and faith, brother. We need you, football needs you."

KTHREAD(9) BSD Kernel Manual KTHREAD(9)
kthread_create, kthread_exit, kthread_create_deferred - kernel threads
#include <sys/kthread.h> int kthread_create(void (*func)(void *), void *arg, struct proc **newpp, const char *fmt, ...); void kthread_exit(int ecode); void kthread_create_deferred(void (*func)(void *), void *arg);
Kernel threads are system light-weight processes: cloned from process 0 (the swapper), sharing its memory map and limits, but with a copy of its file descriptor table. They don't receive broadcast nor group signals and they can't be swapped. Any process can call kthread_create() to create a kernel thread. The new process starts up executing func with argument arg. If newpp is not NULL, it is filled with the address of the new process. fmt and the remaining arguments are used to name the process. A kernel thread will terminate by calling kthread_exit(), with exit code ecode. Since the system has to be up and running for creating new processes, device drivers that want to create kernel threads early (e.g., at attach time) may use kthread_create_deferred() instead. The system will call back the function func with argument arg when it can create threads, so it is up to func to call kthread_create() at that point.
Upon successful completion, kthread_create() returns 0. Otherwise, the following error values are returned: [EAGAIN] The limit on the total number of system processes would be ex- ceeded.
There is currently no way to use ecode to any sensible purpose from kthread_exit(). MirOS BSD #10-current September 1, 1999 1

In my office at A.F. Williams Family Medicine Center in Denver, we have tremendous medical students and family medicine residents who are bright and passionate and who understand the value of family medicine and the patient-centered medical home.
Jeff Cain, M.D.
Nationally, we have more students than ever choosing family medicine as a career. Nearly 3,000 students matched into family medicine residencies last month, filling 96 percent of positions offered. The number of U.S. seniors (1,374) matching into family medicine was the highest in more than a decade.
It all sounds good, right?
Well, yes and no.
Although the overall number of students -- including U.S. seniors -- who choose family medicine is up, medical schools have been expanding their enrollments at an even faster pace, and new medical schools have opened. So, the reality is the percentage of U.S. seniors choosing family medicine actually has decreased.
To put it simply, the education system is failing to produce the workforce our nation needs. Increasing enrollment in our medical schools alone has not, and will not, translate into an increase in the percentage of U.S. seniors entering family medicine.
The Robert Graham Center for Policy Studies in Family Medicine and Primary Care projects(annfammed.org) that the United States will need an additional 52,000 primary care physicians by 2025 -- a 25 percent increase in the current workforce -- to address the expected increases in demand due to population growth and aging and to insurance expansion following passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Sadly, our nation isn't prepared to meet that demand. Our flawed medical education system has not offered students appropriate incentives to choose primary care, and we are not holding medical schools accountable for producing the number of primary care physicians our communities need.
A trio of special articles in the March issue of Family Medicine(www.stfm.org) shines a light on these problems and offers some interesting suggestions on how to fix them.
One of the articles(www.stfm.org), written by Alan David, M.D., points out that 33 percent of students owe more than $200,000 and 15 percent owe more than $250,000 by the time they complete medical school. Meanwhile, the income gap between primary care physicians and our subspecialty colleagues has grown to more than $135,000 a year.
That gaps forces many students who entered medical school with an interest in family medicine to choose subspecialty medicine based on financial necessity.
Our government, which spends almost $13 billion a year on graduate medical education (GME), is in the midst of a financial crisis. Fiscal accountability is a popular topic, but our health care system is not getting what it needs from its 11-figure investment.
Now is the time to push for GME reform.
A few years ago, a grass-roots collaboration of leaders in family medicine residency training began work on recommendations to reform primary care training and financing. The recommendations of the GME Initiative are reviewed in a second special article(www.stfm.org) in the same issue of Family Medicine.
The initiative's recommendations are too numerous and complex to completely list here, but they are intriguing, and I'd like to share a few highlights, such as
- amend federal regulations to support family medicine training in outpatient settings;
- increase primary care GME positions; and
- expand training in ambulatory, community and underserved sites.
The same article suggests reallocating existing GME funding based on workforce needs, requiring private payers to contribute to GME funding, and providing funding directly to accredited primary care programs. The authors also recommend increasing payments for primary care residents.
Moreover, the initiative calls for more accurate measuring of the real number of primary care physicians that medical schools are graduating because the majority of internal medicine and pediatric residents who initially enter primary care residencies ultimately go on to subspecialize. We need a better understanding of the proportion of graduating medical students that really go on to practice primary care.
Two years ago, the Council on Graduate Medical Education (COGME) issued a report to the HHS secretary and Congress that recommended increasing the percentage of primary care physicians from 32 percent to 40 percent of our total physician workforce to achieve optimal health care in the United States. For our country to reach that goal, COGME recommended(www.hrsa.gov) governmental reforms to both the medical education system and the way that we pay for primary care. Specifically, in addition to GME reforms, the council recommended that the gap between primary care physician income and that of subspecialists be reduced to attract more physicians to primary care.
Now, an IOM committee is developing recommendations(www.nationalacademies.org) for policies to improve GME. According to the IOM, "specific attention will be given to increasing the capacity of the nation's clinical workforce that can deliver efficient and high-quality health care that will meet the needs of our diverse population."
Primary care is the foundation of an efficient and high-quality health care system. Investing in primary care has been proven to help us reach the triple aims of higher quality, lower costs and improved patient experience.
It is time for our country to hold our medical schools and GME system accountable if we are to produce the physician workforce that our country deserves.
