Gay Stewart, West Virginia University
Stewart is site leader for the UArk PhysTEC site, and a member of the PTEC Steering Committee. She received her Ph.D. in experimental high energy physics from UIUC in 1994. Her involvement with physics education reform began formally with her attendance at the Workshop Physics Conference at Dickinson College in 1993. Upon receiving her Ph.D., as a mother of two, she shifted her research purely to the condition of science education in the United States. In May, 1995 her work first gained NSF support through a DUE Course and Curriculum Development grant. She has served on education-related committees for APS (FEd Executive Committee, Committee on Education) and the APS council, and as an AAPT/PTRA National Advisory Board member and Regional Coordinator for Arkansas. She served as chair of the College Board's (CB) Science Academic Advisory Committee, was jointly appointed by the CB and the NSF as co-chair of the Advanced Placement Physics Redesign commission, and is on the new AP Physics Curriculum Development and Assessment Committee. She chaired her department's undergraduate affairs committee during a transitional time, which saw the average number of graduating majors in physics increase by a factor of five in four years. She is the teaching assistant mentor, and developed a preparation program based in part on the University of Minnesota FIPSE-supported project. It grew into one of four sites in physics for the NSF/AAPT "Shaping the Preparation of Future Science Faculty," and is still active. These efforts played a central role in preparing Arkansas to join the Physics Teacher Education Coalition. She is co-PI of an NSF GK-12 project that places graduate students in middle school mathematics and science classrooms.

A friend of mine has a family member who has been called up for duty in Israel. I know that, all over Israel, young men and young women are being mobilized. Some sadly, may not come home, although I wish all of them would, just as I wish every one of our troops in Afghanistan could return home.
As always when I think about war, I think, not about those who die, but about the many who live. My expectation that people will return home is shaped by my parents' experiences. My father was in the Mediterranean theater from 1939 through 1944 — and never got a scratch. He then fought in the Israeli War of Independence — and never got a scratch. During that same war, a sniper shot at my mother. The bullet grazed the back of her neck, singeing off the fine hairs — but that was all it did. Both of them walked remarkably near the Valley of Shadows, without being physically touched.
I've had my own near misses. When I was 17, I was riding shotgun in a car that flipped off of an overpass and landed, upside down, 25 feet below. I walked away without a scratch. When I was 20, my Mom and I were driving on the freeway when, from the cab in the pickup truck in front of us, a manhole cover came spinning off like a giant Frisbee, heading directly for our windshield. She and I gazed in horror at imminent death by decapitation, only to have the wind grab that Frisbee within an inch of our windshield and send it rocketing to the side of the road.
My parents and I were, and are, not religious people, but we have tried to live righteously. Whether because of faith or superstition, I believe that matters. It has always mattered:
19 Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
20 And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
21 Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
22 Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flames of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.
25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire.
27 And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.
28 Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
29 Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.
30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.
My prayers are for Israel, a righteous nation, and my prayers are for our own quite righteous troops in these dangerous times.
Incidentally, would it surprise you to know that the New York Times, while it acknowledges Israel's right to defend herself, really wishes she wouldn't:
No country should have to endure the rocket attacks that Israel has endured from militants in Gaza, most recently over the past four days. The question is how to stop them permanently.
On Wednesday, Israel launched one of the most ferocious assaults on Gaza since its invasion four years ago. At least 20 targets were struck and a Hamas military commander, Ahmed al-Jabari, was killed. Israeli leaders also threatened another ground war.
Hamas has controlled Gaza since Israel withdrew in 2007. The group has mostly adhered to an informal cease-fire with Israel after the war there in the winter of 2008-09. But, in recent months, Hamas has claimed responsibility for participating in rocket firings, and last week it took credit for detonating a tunnel packed with explosives along the Israel-Gaza border while Israeli soldiers were working nearby.
Israel has a right to defend itself, but it's hard to see how Wednesday's operation could be the most effective way of advancing its long-term interests. It has provoked new waves of condemnation against Israel in Arab countries, including Egypt, whose cooperation is needed to enforce the 1979 peace treaty and support stability in Sinai.
It seems to be beyond the Times' editors' comprehension to understand that, for twenty years, Israel has done it the Times' way, by making nice with her enemies. That hasn't worked. Israel's enemies have perceived her as weak and, now that they believe the U.S. has abandoned her by re-electing Obama, they're attacking with murderous ferocity. Turning the other cheek, a la Gandhi, works only when your enemies are the moral British. Otherwise, if you're fighting the modern equivalent of Nazi Germany, there's something to be said for a scorched earth policy.

• On The Radio
All UC Santa Barbara basketball games are broadcast live in Santa Barbara on AM 990 KTMS and will stream live online by clicking here with the pregame show starting 30 minutes prior to tipoff.
The Opponents
• UC Riverside, 2/16
The Highlanders' loss to UCSB on 1/14 was the eighth in a nine-game skid, however UCR has turned it around lately. The team has won three of six and is led by Tre'Shonti Nottingham, who averages 14.8 points, 5.2 rebound, 3.5 assists and 3.3 steals per game this season.
• UC Irvine, 2/18
The Gauchos have not lost at UC Irvine since Jan. 19, 1997 when they dropped a 67-65 overtime decision. However, UCSB's 10-game winning streak vs. the Anteaters ended on Jan. 12 this year when UCI won at the Thunderdome. Irvine is paced by Kassandra McCalister, who averages 13.4 points and 4.2 assists per game.
• CLASS-y Lady
Senior Emilie Johnson has been named one of 10 finalists nationwide for the Lowe's Senior CLASS award, given annually to the best senior who exemplifies hard work on the court, in the community and great character. Johnson is the first Gaucho to be chosen one of the 10 finalists. Fans can vote for Johnson by going to www.seniorclassaward.com.
• Doubling Up
When Kirsten Tilleman (15 points, 10 rebounds) and Sweets Underwood (10 points, 12 rebounds) each had double doubles vs. Cal State Bakersfield, it marked the first time a pair of Gauchos turned the trick since Jordan Franey and Emilie Johnson did so Dec. 28, 2009 in a loss at Idaho.
• Tenacious D
UC Santa Barbara is continuing its defensive dominance this season, holding opponents to just 50.9 points per game, best in the Big West and ranking the squad seventh in the nation. The Gauchos are also allowing opponents to shoot just 35.8% from the floor, which is the best mark in the conference and 48th in the nation.
• This Defense Doesn't Rest
Should the Gauchos' points allowed per game average – or anywhere near it – hold up, it would rank as one of the best defensive seasons in school history. The top two marks: the 1973-74 squad allowed opponents an average of 43.6 points per game, while the 2008-09 team allowed 55.5 points per game.
• For The Record
At 4-6 in Big West play, the Gauchos have dropped more games than they did all of last conference season and are in danger of becoming the first UCSB team since the 1989-90 squad to post a losing conference record. Two seasons ago, the 2009-10 Gaucho team was 5-7 at one point but finished 9-7 in the Big West and went to the semifinals of the Big West Tournament.
• Big West Woes
Entering last week, UCSB stood at 3-6 in Big West play, becoming the first Gaucho team to be three games under .500 during the conference season since February, 1990 a Gaucho team that held a 6-9 mark. That was the last UCSB team to finish the conference season with a sub-.500 record as they went 8-10.
• Mak Attack
When Kirsten Tilleman posted consecutive double doubles last week vs. Fullerton and Bakersfield, she became the first Gaucho to do so since Mekia Valentine did on March 5 and 8 last season.
• Board Games
Santa Barbara's two frontcourt stalwarts – Kirsten Tilleman and Sweets Underwood – are two of the best rebounders in relation to their Big West peers. Tilleman ranks third in the conference with 8.4 rebounds per game and Underwood is sixth with 7.1 per game. There has been just two games this season where one of the two didn't grab at least seven rebounds.
• Climbing the Charts
With 27 points last week vs. Cal State Fullerton at CSU Bakersfield, Emilie Johnson continued to move up the UCSB all-time scoring book. With 1,266 career points Johnson is 52 points away from Kayte Christensen (1998-2002) for 15th all-time. Johnson has recorded four straight games in double figures and the Loomis, Calif. native has 11 20-point games in her UCSB career.
• Top-Ten Time
It's not just career points where Emilie Johnson ranks among the best in UCSB history. Johnson is third in career three-pointers made (198, 17 behind Jess Hansen), second in career three-pointers attempted (604, five behind Erin Alexander), 11th in career assists (306, one behind Jessica Wilson) and second in career free throw percentage.
• UCSB or UCS-D?
Over the past few years UCSB has been a dominant defensive force. Last year UCSB led the conference in field goal percentage defense (18th in the nation) at 35.5%. In 2009-10, UCSB allowed opponents to shoot 36.3%, which was 31st in the nation, and in 2008-09, the Gauchos allowed opponents to hit 34.6% of their shots, ranking eighth in the country. Also, since the new millennium, seven Gaucho teams rank in the single-season top-10 in opponents' points per game.
• Turning Things Around
As a team, UCSB is averaging just 14.3 turnovers per game, ranking it 21st in the nation. In an odd twist, UCSB is averaging 16.5 turnovers in each of its wins and 12.5 in its losses. It's a far cry from just two seasons ago when the Gauchos committed 649 total turnovers (20.3 per game) in the 2009-10 season, the eighth-highest mark in program history.
• Wake Me Up Before You Score, Girl
UCSB is at the bottom of the Big West's scoring average – just 51.3 points per game – and rank 321 out of 336 teams ranked nationally in that category, one of just two teams in the bottom 20 with double figures in wins. Yet, the Gauchos are still not on pace to set a school record for futility. The lowest per game average by a UCSB team was 45.2 in the 1973-74 season. This year's team is on pace for the third-lowest point total in school history.
• Hang Ten
With Nicole Nesbit and Emilie Johnson as the Gauchos' two leading scorers at 9.0 and 8.9 points per game, respectively, the team does not have a scorer averaging 10.0 or more points per game. Only once in UCSB program history has a team not had at least one player average double digits. That came in 1982-83 when Thyra Ladyman led the way with 9.7 points per game, a team that averaged 61.7 points per game.
• Put Me In, Coach
Sophomore guard Nicole Nesbit leads the team in points per game, averaging 9.0 – 9.4 in conference games – and she has a team-high 13 double-digit games this season. The thing is, she's been doing most of her damage off the bench. Nesbit has started just three games and come off the bench in the other 20. In games she starts, the sophomore from Northridge, Calif. averages 8.0 points per game, but Nesbit averages 9.2 points per game she comes off the bench.
• Three, It's the Magic Number
By burying a three-pointer in the second half vs. Cal State Fullerton, senior Kelsey Adrian assured herself of a spot in UCSB's top-10 after just 52 games in the blue and gold. Adrian has nailed 79 three-pointers in her Gaucho career, tied for 10th-most all-time in school history with Jessica Wilson (2004-08) and Lauren Pedersen (2008-09). The Langley, B.C. native leads UCSB with her 31.8% from downtown.
• No AARP Required for 60
It's pretty simple to know who's going to win whenever the Gauchos take the court – the team that scores 60 or more points. When UCSB hits 60, the team is 5-0. When Santa Barbara's opponents score 60 or more, the Gauchos are 1-5.
• No Points for You!
UCSB has not allowed one opponent to score more than 67 points in a game this season and has not given up more than 49 points in 12 games this year, going 8-4 in those contests. Santa Barbara set a new school record earlier this year when the team did not allow six straight opponents to break the 50-point plateau.
