Laurie Linke is due for a screening mammogram, but she might not get one anytime soon. After filling out forms that qualified her for a state program for uninsured women, she was placed on a waiting list.
Linke was counting on getting a free mammogram because she doesn't have a job, her unemployment benefits have run out, and she has exhausted her savings. Laid off from her position as a sales executive for a mortgage company in 2008, she said even a low-cost mammogram is beyond what she can afford right now.
But halfway through the fiscal year, the program she turned to, the Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Program, is running out of money and unable to fund screening mammograms coordinated at five sites in the Chicago area, plus seven in other parts of the state.
"I'm frustrated," said Linke, 45, who lives in Homewood. "I think if we had universal health care a lot of people wouldn't have to neglect their health because they don't have insurance."
A national uproar erupted recently over access to breast cancer screening after charity giant Susan G. Komen for the Cure, which funds organizations and programs that provide mammograms to uninsured and underinsured women, announced that it would no longer give money to Planned Parenthood. That decision was quickly reversed, but in Illinois, access to mammograms, Pap smears and other reproductive health services remains an issue for many uninsured women.
The Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Program was created to help women who don't qualify for services through Medicaid or Medicare. To participate in the program, women must be uninsured or have health insurance that specifically excludes screening services. Although many work, they are self-employed, work part time or are not offered health insurance through their jobs.
"This is for women who completely fall through the cracks," said Shannon Lightner, deputy director of the Office of Women's Health at the Illinois Department of Public Health, which oversees the program.
Screening mammograms help identify breast cancer in its early stages, when it is most easily treated and least likely to be life-threatening. As of January, nearly 155,000 women have been screened for breast and cervical cancers since the early detection program was launched in Illinois in 1995. In the last fiscal year the number of screenings was about 40,000.
One reason for the funding crunch is greater demand as the number of uninsured women rises and public awareness grows about the need for mammograms. Another is the higher cost of performing digital mammograms, now the standard screening tool.
Gov. Pat Quinn cut the budget for the screening program, which receives about $20 million in state and federal funding, by about $1 million for the current fiscal year, which ends June 30.
To stretch the budget, about 400 women a month who qualify will be placed on waiting lists statewide. Women who show symptoms of breast cancer or who have had abnormal mammograms will be able to get mammograms at all locations, Lightner said.
"Overall, women are finding that it's getting harder and harder to schedule mammograms," said Anne Marie Murphy, executive director of the Metropolitan Chicago Breast Cancer Task Force. "They may find it hard to get through on the phone lines. They may find delays in scheduling breast exams or get wait-listed for a mammogram. ... This is really discouraging to women trying to get an essential life-saving service."
The Chicago area's only public hospital, John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, doesn't do screening mammograms.
"That puts us in a tough situation," said Eileen Knightly, director of women's health and the comprehensive breast cancer center at Mercy Hospital and Medical Center in Chicago. "If it wasn't for the state breast and cervical cancer program and Komen dollars, there are very few ways to take care of the uninsured population. Philanthropy is the only way we can address the screening needs for these patients."
Mercy is the screening program's largest site in the state, serving about 3,500 to 4,000 women a year.
Last May, Komen's Chicago affiliate distributed $1.5 million to 22 organizations and programs in Cook, Kane, DuPage, McHenry and Lake counties that provide mammograms to uninsured and underinsured women. Planned Parenthood performs clinical breast exams, pelvic exams and other services but refers women to other agencies for free or low-cost mammograms.
Mammograms are available at some federally qualified health centers on a sliding fee scale. Organizations including the American Cancer Society, Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the Metropolitan Chicago Breast Cancer Task Force list referral agencies on their websites.
Women aged 19 to 44 who meet income and other eligibility requirements can get mammograms, if they are ordered by the doctor during a family planning visit, at no cost through Illinois Healthy Women, a state program designed to provide family planning services to women of reproductive age.
But advocates and health officials say the state screening program helps the largest number of uninsured women, by far. It's more than just getting a free mammogram, Lightner said. The program offers a full range of services, including breast exams, Pap smears and pelvic exams.

Daniel said she feels fortunate to have mammography coverage through Medicaid. "I wouldn't feel good if I had to wait," she said afterward. "It would worry me." Mount Sinai is not part of the state screening program. (Heather Charles, Chicago Tribune)

Since the 1980s, the United States has aggressively pursued incarceration. The reliance on incarceration has also distorted public policy. This emphasis has devastated individual lives and entire neighborhoods. For many rural communities, prisons have become the focal point of economic development efforts -- this despite mounting evidence that prisons do not contribute to employment growth. While urban neighborhoods have been blighted, with investments in social and educational facilities drying up, millions of dollars have been spent to incarcerate people growing up in these same neighborhoods. One of the more pernicious trade-offs has centered on education. With state and federal spending tilted towards incarceration, education budgets have been squeezed. In the early 21st Century, as young people come of age in the United States, risks of incarceration are pronounced, but opportunities for education have stagnated.
This commitment to incarceration is not a response to growing violence; it is driven by harsh penalties for non-violent crime (especially those associated with drug use). These two charts (see below) contrast trends in homicide and incarceration rates in the United States -- before and after the "war on drugs" (circa 1980).
|Click here or on the graph to enlarge.
|Click here or on the graph to enlarge.
The differences are striking. From 1967 until 1980, incarceration and homicide rates changed in concert. An increase in violent crime resulted in an increase in incarceration. Since 1980, however, this linkage has disappeared. Between 1980 and 2000, the incarceration rate more than tripled. But the homicide rate declined (by nearly 50%). The United States is not locking people up because street violence is out of control. Quite the opposite. The United States has incarcerated a sizeable portion of its citizenry (poor, working class and people of color) despite an obvious and well-documented decrease in violent crime.
This incarceration binge forced governments at all levels (federal, state and local) to make difficult choices when allocating limited budgets. As the following charts reveal, post-secondary education has been among the sectors squeezed by this relentless commitment to incarceration.

|Click here or on the graph to enlarge.
From 1976 to 1980, the number of 18-24 year olds grew steadily. Nevertheless, the United States made the investments to provide educational opportunities to meet this demand. The post-secondary enrollment rate held steady; the incarceration rate grew modestly over this period. The "war on drugs" brought dramatic changes. It is noteworthy that the number of 18-24 year olds declined over this period and education has become increasingly important to securing a family-wage job and a rewarding career. Still the growth in post-secondary participation grew only modestly. By contrast, the incarceration rate soared.
Community Colleges, Budget Cuts, and Jobs
In the context of this incarceration binge, Andrew Crookston and I examined the employment impact of community colleges for rural counties. Our study, "Community Colleges, Budget Cuts, and Jobs" (full text, PDF) appeared in The Sociology of Education. Two podcasts are available through The Sociology of Education web-site. In the "SAGE podcast", Natalie Katz interviews us and provides an overview of this research. In the interview conducted by David Bills, Sociology of Education editor, we go into greater depth concerning the research and its implications: (see: "Editorial Team Podcast.")

HOUSTON – Down to their final strike, the East Webster baseball team looked as though their season's end was at hand.
Austin Halford wasn't ready for the Wolverines to pack it in just yet.
Facing Mantachie in the second game of a third-round, Class 2A playoff series, Halford's solo home run in the seventh tied the game, setting the stage for a walk-off squeeze bunt from Scott Johnson in extra-innings to complete East Webster's 4-3 win.
The game, a designated home game for the Wolverines, was played in Houston due to the storm damage at East Webster's campus in Cumberland.
The triumph, in a contest that Wolverines head coach Wes Johnson dubbed a candidate for "one of the best games" he'd ever been a part of, ties the best-of-three series at one apiece and sets up a deciding third game on Monday in Mantachie.
To get to that point however, East Webster (20-7) needed plenty of late heroics on Saturday, starting with Halford's blast that snuck just inside the left field foul pole.
"It's kind of like what you watch in the major leagues," said Halford. "It's a 3-2 count, two outs in the bottom of the ninth, except it's bottom of the seventh for us, and I just tried to get a pitch I could hit and did what I could do with it."
Making the homer even more dramatic, Halford had dug himself a hole earlier in the count by swinging and missing at pitches clearly outside the strike zone.
Though Halford admitted to being "very anxious" in the early stages of the at-bat, he finally settled in and got his pitch with his team's season hanging by its last thread.
"At first, I thought it was a pop fly," said Halford of the homer. "I don't know if the wind caught it or what, it just had the distance."
The game's drama didn't stop there.
With each team's starting pitcher, East Webster's Codie Silver and Mantachie's Matthew Prochaska, staying on the mound into extra innings, both the Wolverines and Mustangs came up empty in the eighth.
In the top of the ninth, Mantachie (19-6) looked to be on the cusp of regaining control.
Cole Stephens began the frame with a leadoff double for the Mustangs, but Silver rebounded by retiring the next two batters via a fly out and a ground out.
Before Silver could escape the inning, Mantachie's C.J. Jackson ripped a single to center, but East Webster center fielder Terry Shaw gunned down Stephens on a close play at the plate, keeping the game knotted at 3-3 as Mantachie head coach Scott Collier strongly disputed the ruling by the home plate umpire.
Aside from giving the Wolverines the momentum, the play also sparked ideas inside the head of Wes Johnson.
When Shaw led off the bottom of the ninth with a walk and stole second base, East Webster's veteran leader put his plan into motion.
"(Mantachie) had that leadoff double in the top of the inning and squandered it and I said 'that's not going to happen to me,'" said Wes Johnson.
Against Mantachie relief pitcher Cody Chatham, who entered the contest following the leadoff walk issued by Prochaska, East Webster pinch hitter Dylan Henley laid down a sacrifice bunt that moved Shaw to third.
That brought Scott Johnson to the plate with the chance to complete the come-from-behind win.
Once Chatham delivered two straight balls to Scott Johnson, Wes Johnson saw a prime opportunity to push home the deciding run with a suicide squeeze.
"I told (Scott Johnson) I'm going to give you one swing to try and get (Shaw) in," said Wes Johnson. "But when he got a 2-0 count, I knew (Chatham) was going to have to throw a strike. We just gambled."
It paid off. Scott Johnson got the bunt down and Shaw scored with ease to wrap up the victory.
"You put kids in that situation and put pressure on them, more times than not they're going to come through for you," said Wes Johnson.
Collier gave a tip of the hat to the Wolverines for not backing down throughout the day and pushing the series to its limit.
"It's two teams that have had a good year and it comes down to who is going to make the plays and who makes the mistakes," said Collier. "We made the mistakes. We're going to put it behind us and move on and try to be ready Monday night. We're going to be ready Monday night, one way or another."
The series getting to Monday's win-or-go-home game was a tribute not only to the work of the Wolverines' late heroes, but their starting pitcher as well.
Silver threw all nine innings of the contest and though he allowed the Mustangs three early runs, he kept Mantachie scoreless from the fourth inning on.
"He has not had a bad outing all year," said Wes Johnson of Silver. "He has battled and battled and battled. He's got that attitude that if you beat him, you beat him and if you don't, you don't, but you're going to have to beat him. He did a great job."
Aside from the pitching of Silver, the bats of Hayden and Ty Hendrix kept East Webster afloat early.
Down 3-0, Hayden Hendrix laced a two-out single in the bottom of the third inning just ahead of a two-run homer by Ty Hendrix that cut the Wolverines' deficit to 3-2.
No one scored again until Halford's game-tying shot in the seventh that put East Webster on the winning path.
"We talk about it all the time, but if we'd lost the ballgame, it's still Mother's Day (today), and it is what it is, it's a ballgame," said Wes Johnson. "There's no reason to play under pressure and that's what we do. The team has done a good job of adopting that policy and this right here, this is all for fun. This isn't our life, but I'm really proud of them. They did a good job and battled. They executed at the end and that's what we had to do."
As a result, East Webster now gets the chance to play again Monday at 6 p.m. with a trip to the North State finals on the line.
"The biggest thing is, they took advantage of the opportunity that they had and won (Saturday's) ballgame," said Wes Johnson of his club. "We'll go over there Monday at 6 o'clock and do the same thing again and who knows what happens."

With only days to go in 2011, it seems almost impossible that RIM (NSDQ: RIMM) could have had any more bad press piled on it this year. But for all the ways that the BlackBerry maker has missed the mark in the past 12 months, this seems to be one area where the it keeps on dinging the bell. Today it emerged that BBM Canada, a broadcasting trade body, is taking RIM to court over its use of BBM, which has become a common abbreviation for RIM's messaging service, BlackBerry Messenger.
RIM has already issued a response to the suit, saying that trademark law cannot apply in this case because RIM and BBM Canada are in different industries: "The services associated with RIM's BBM offering clearly do not overlap with BBM Canada's services and the two marks are therefore eligible to co-exist under Canadian trademark law," it told the Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail.
BBM Canada, which has been around since 1944, provides data analysis to Canadian broadcasters. It has said that its employees get mistaken for those from RIM because of the name. And its services, it claims, are not as far removed from RIM's as RIM would claim: it uses smartphone apps in part for the collection of data.
RIM had actually tried to get a trademark for BBM back in October of 2009 but BBM Canada claims it was denied; RIM says that application is still pending, according to the Globe and Mail. RIM regularly promotes its messaging service as BBM.
BlackBerry Messenger, a free messaging service that works over RIM's smartphones, has been one of the company's big hits.
It has been cited as one of the reasons that BlackBerry phones have maintained some currency with the much-coveted segment of young adult users — who like to use the free service to communicate with each other (sometimes controversially, as in the case of the London riots, when it was used as a planning network for would-be rioters).
That position among young users has remained even as BlackBerry's overall market position has deteriorated with the rise of a plethora of competing devices, including those from Apple (NSDQ: AAPL), as well as Android-based smartphones — a situation that may become compacted as Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) and Nokia (NYSE: NOK) really push Windows Phone handsets in the year ahead, especially to enterprise users, a segment where RIM has traditionally played strong.
Mindful of BBM's popularity, RIM has been enhancing the service, adding a music offering over the platform as well as the ability for developers to integrate BBM into apps for BlackBerry devices.
This scuffle over the BBM trademark caps off a pretty grim year for RIM that included a huge, multinational service outage, disappointing sales numbers for its phones and new PlayBook tablet, and even a previous trademark suit — when RIM had to stop using the name BBX for its as-yet unreleased operating system after a complaint from Basis International was upheld by a court.

A grassroots online newspaper exclusively for, and by, those who understand higher education best, The EvoLLLution is the only place where you can find detailed opinions, news and research about the impact of non-traditional programs on the higher education industry and society-at-large.
The EvoLLLution was crafted in recognition of the fact that there are innovators at every level of every institution. From the college dean, to the state system president to the professional student, individuals everywhere are retooling, reorganizing and rethinking their way into the 21st century.
Shaul Kuper, president and CEO of Destiny Solutions, kept finding himself in animated conversations with continuing education leaders and practitioners brimming with innovative ideas, but lacking a platform to disseminate them beyond their immediate circle. Tired of standing on the sidelines, he founded The EvoLLLution as a means of bringing together the individuals responsible for their division's success in order to further the state of lifelong learning. These are the people writing our articles and shaping the future of lifelong learning.
The truth is, for years, silos of stakeholders have tried to make things work, without any understanding of each other. Now, by banding together in a community like The EvoLLLution, we can do more to advance non-traditional higher education than any one individual could on their own.

Mission Statement
To unite the lifelong learning community to provoke ideas, re-imagine education, inspire collaboration and create action to lead the transformative change in higher education.

Guiding Principles
The traditional higher education model does not meet the needs of today's society, meaning we must rethink its identity.
For better or worse, competition and commoditization are key contributors to the changing higher education landscape.
Technology is central to change at all levels of higher education.
Many of the most forward-thinking innovations and ideas in higher education have — and will continue to — come from divisions that serve non-traditional students.
Successful higher education management hinges on efficient business practices.
We use the term 'non-traditional' because it is widely understood. However, we hesitate to define this group by what they are not because 'non-traditional' practices and policies embody the future of higher ed.
All of our content comes from individuals active in the higher education field because the people on the ground are the people who know best.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WSOC) — A driver is accused of leading police on a chase up sidewalks, over curbs and right through a television station's front lawn in Charlotte Thursday.
Troopers say the chase started when an officer noticed the man wasn't wearing his seat belt.
Much of the chase was captured on the TV station's tower cam, including when the suspect burned out doing a doughnut around a patrol car.
"Don't put me on the news," Marcus James, who is now facing several charges, including hit-and-run, reckless driving and driving without a license, said.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at Southern Wine & Spirits (King of Prussia, PA) in June 2015.
Interview was one on one with a sales manager. Very laid back, informative and pleasant. Nothing like other interviews I had been to. No canned questions (what are your strengths/weaknesses, etc). He answered a lot of my questions concerning the position, company hierarchy and how to handle some difficult scenarios.

Kim Miller gets to live, to work, to garden, to fish, to enjoy all the routine yet miraculous aspects of everyday life because a stranger gave him a second chance through organ donation.
Kim suffers from pulmonary fibrosis, an always fatal disease, that took his brother's life in 2000.
In 2008, when Kim started experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath he went to the emergency room, where he was diagnosed with lower lobe pneumonia.
Kim knew better, and his fears were soon confirmed: He had inherited pulmonary fibrosis just as his brother had.
There is no treatment and no cure for the disease. Though Kim entered every clinical trial available to him, the disease progressed. Earlier this year, his health began to seriously decline, and while he maintained his job at the post office, life was a struggle.
If he did anything more than sit in a chair, he had to use supplemental oxygen. Even a 25-foot-trip to the bathroom taxed his lungs beyond their capacity.
In April, Kim went through the transplant workup at the pulmonary fibrosis center at Vanderbilt. In May, he was put on a transplant list.
Though he hesitated at first, telling himself, "I'm not all that bad right now," he knew how volatile pulmonary fibrosis could be. In 2000, his brother was on oxygen but doing fairly well.
"One day he was good, the next day he was in the hospital, the next day he passed away," Kim said.
The average wait for a donated lung is between six and nine months. Pulmonary fibrosis patients are put at the top of the transplant list because, like Kim's brother, patients can go from OK to near-death quickly.
On September 14, Kim was at his church, Unaka Avenue Baptist, for the Wednesday night service when he got a call from Vanderbilt. He was told: "You got a lung. You've got to get over here (to Nashville)." Kim called his wife, Sherry, then raised his hand to interrupt the service.
His congregation, which had helped him with the fundraising efforts required by the transplant program, and Sherrie heard the news at the same time.
People awaiting transplant must be within a couple of hours of the transplant center, Sherrie said, so they arranged air transport and a backup as soon as Kim was put on the list.
"An air ambulance met us at the airport," Sherrie said. "We were flying in and the weather was getting horrible. Fifteen minutes outside of Tri-Cities, the pilot said we might have to turn back. He got us to Sparta, a little south of Cookeville, and a ground ambulance picked us up there. He drove 95 miles in one hour. It was a very speedy trip because we had to be there within a certain time."
Once at the hospital, Kim was taken directly to ICU, then into surgery for a single lung transplant. The surgery lasted about eight hours. (Kim was listed for a double lung transplant, but another man who was sicker than Kim received one of the two available lungs.)
Six days after surgery Kim was released from the hospital, but he and Sherrie were required to remain in Nashville within 10 minutes of the hospital for three months. Kim has to undergo physical rehabilitation five days a week, and there is the danger his body will reject the transplanted lung.
"If he begins to experience a rejection episode, and he has experienced one, you can catch it more quickly and treat it more quickly than at home," Sherrie said.
Once released to come home, sometime in December, Kim will continue to exercise and will remain on medication the rest of his life.
The couple know little about the donor, other than he died in an accident. They do know how his willingness to donate his organs and his family's consent changed lives.
"He saved five people that we're aware of," Kim said. "He donated two lungs, a heart, a liver and a pancreas. The woman who got the heart has small children at home. The other guy who got the lung with me is doing extremely well."
Doctors tell Kim that with one lung he should be able to live a full life, return to work and return to the gardening and fishing he loves. He will have more time with Sherrie and his four grown daughters.
At Christmas he hopes to meet his new grandchild and spend time with his 3-year-old grandchild.
"Organ donation: I think it's a great, great gift," he said. "I encourage everybody to donate. Your soul goes to heaven but your body is left here in the ground.
You might as well help someone."

Best rod and reel I have ever owned. Easy to use, casts great, reels in great, sensitive and flexible, everything a lady could ask for in a rod. I am left handed and was able to quickly and easily switch it over to the "right" side. Caught a lot of big fish with this rod. Only had it a little over a year before my boyfriend lost it on the way to the lake. For sure getting this one again.

Got this for the wife and it is always the most popular rod in the boat.
It is light and sensitive. Perfect for walleye fishing in Northern lakes.
My wife was not a fisher before this rod and reel, now she has a big tackle box and buys me and her fishing lures all the time. Nice to be on the same team.

Nanny's Berry Cheesecake
My Mom makes an epic cheesecake that's based on her Mom's recipe for cheesecake. It's not a heavy, stomach-hurting, quickly-regretted kind of cheesecake. It's light, easy on the belly and I can always find room for it, even after a big Frangou family souvlaki chowdown. Methinks it's a very good way to ring in summer.
Nanny's Cheesecake
Preheat oven to 350°F
For Crust:
- 2 cups graham wafer crumbs
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Mix the above ingredients. Spread into pan and bake at 350 for about 5-7 minutes. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes.
For Cheese Mix:
- 2 large packages cream cheese (My mom usually uses one regular and one light
- 1 package Nutrawhip
- 1/3 cup of sugar
- 2 teaspoon of vanilla
- Dash of salt
- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
Let cheese sit out for a hour or so to become soft. Using an electric mixer, mix the cheese until it is soft and creamy. Add sugar and continue to mix for a minute or so. Add about 4 ounces of the nutrawhip mix until well blended. Add vanilla, lemon and salt. Mix again for a minute or so. It's now ready to be placed on the crust.
Decorate with the fruit of your choice. Cover with plastic wrap and keep refrigerated until ready to eat. My mom always places the dish into an inch of warm water while she is serving dinner. That way, the crust slides out nicely when you cut it.

Laden, Darkangelo sign with Connecticut Whale
Chelsea Laden and Shiann Darkangelo, former members of the Quinnipiac women's ice...
By Brian Farrell, QBSN Staff Writer
PITTSBURGH – For the next two days, the Greater New Haven area is the hub of college hockey. A statement that was laughable six months ago is now a reality. Just a few weeks ago it didn't even look like Yale would make the national tournament. Now, the two south-central Connecticut schools are ready to face off in the biggest college hockey game of the year.
"I think they're playing on a different level of hockey right now," Quinnipiac captain Zack Currie said about Yale's stellar postseason play. "They've won some impressive games including last night, but I think our approach doesn't change. We've played the same way all year. We play our hockey."
Despite the fact that the two teams are just miles apart, Quinnipiac forward Jordan Samuels-Thomas isn't putting much stock in the rivalry.
"I think the fact that it's a rivalry game is irrelevant," Samuels-Thomas said. "Right now both teams are competing for a national championship, and that's kind of what comes first. Obviously, they are our rivals, but I don't think anyone's thinking about that."
Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold echoed Samuels-Thomas' mindset.
"This is a big one," Pecknold said. "I think we'll definitely do what we've done all year. We'll spend a little time on what we need to do to be effective against Yale. But ultimately we need to do what we do well. We're really good at our game, and we need to stay the course."
For the fans, the excitement is palpable. Quinnipiac's Mount Carmel and York Hill campuses went into full celebration mode last year following the 4-1 over St. Cloud State. As final minutes ticked off the game clock at the Consol Energy Center, the students on hand for the game boisterously exclaimed, "We want Yale!"
The excitement surrounding the Bobcats and more notably, the national championship, is unlike anything this school has ever experienced. In a year that saw less than impressive attendance numbers at the onset, it is hard to imagine now how difficult tickets will be next season.
But this is the kind of problem that Quinnipiac has been craving since opening the TD Bank Sports Center in 2007. Throughout this season's magical run, Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold, Athletic Director Jack McDonald and university President John Lahey have made it clear that tomorrow's game is the reason why Quinnipiac built the multimillion-dollar facility.
Tomorrow is among the biggest days that Quinnipiac University has ever had the pleasure of experiencing.
"It doesn't matter who we're playing," Pecknold said. "We could play the Montreal Canadiens tomorrow night, and we're going to play the same way. We've got to tweak things a little bit and make some small adaptations to shut down Yale in certain situations. But ultimately we have to play our game. We're good at it, and we don't need to change anything."
Stay tuned to theqbsn.com for updated information throughout the day including the announcement of the 2013 Hobey Baker Award winner.

Students in the Business department have started a blog called Project 306. Here's a quote from their statement of purpose:
"Our goal is to stimulate a conversation about women in innovation and all of the things that help us attain success. We're exploring #womenhelpingwomen, experiential learning, professional & personal growth."
If you check it out, you'll find stories about Professor Tom Scott's recent trip to Tanzania, recommendations about "don't miss" TED talks (click here for one interesting example) a recent young female entrepreneurs panel, and lots more.
I was pleased that they recently asked me to contribute some thoughts on career planning. Here are the first couple of paragraphs of my post:
"In my conversations with students about their career aspirations – and I've had a lot of those, over the years! – I often hear them taking one of two approaches to career planning.
The first is goal-driven. These students decide where they want to end up and are determined to do whatever it takes to get there. ("I want to be a vet, so even though labs aren't my favorite thing I'll take all the required courses and then some.") The second is more intrinsically-motivated. These students do what they love and trust that a rewarding career will emerge from their choices. ("Nothing could be more fun than mastering four different languages, and there are lots of interesting things multilingual people can do.")
I am and always have been one of the second kind."

The technique was first introduced by the Archaeology Consulting Team from Essex in 1992.
Other researchers in archeology use the methods for relative dating when carbon dating is inconclusive. This use of OCR as an alternative dating mechanisms is backed by the theoretical mechanism underpinning OCR dating. The change in oxidizable carbon ratio is assumed to be mostly due to interaction of the sample with organic matter from the environment (bacteria or organics seeping with ground water). As a result carbon with a new carbon date and old carbon often mix in the sample making carbon dating unreliable. Criticism to the method are not to its general usefulness but rather to the attempt to compare it directly to carbon dating and to use it for absolute dating.
Many independent archologists have had good results with OCR dating but some others have experinced erroneous age measurements.
It is important to note that while OCR dating has been well established in humid regions it has not undergone testing in hyper arid environments.

Okay, it's official: Spider-Island is one of my favorite Spider-Man stories of all time.
Spider-Man is the character that brought me into comics. The first comics I ever read (maybe the first anything I ever read for fun) were Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's original run on Amazing Spider-Man in the collected "Essential Spider-Man" trades. Ever since then, I've read as much of Spider-Man as I could get my hands on. I followed Amazing Spider-Man religously, but a couple of years ago One More Day and Spider-Man's uncharacteristically irresponsible deal with the devil turned me off of the series that I used to love so much.
All of the continuity that I had grown up with was wiped away, and while I hate to be "that guy" who clings to continuity like a security blanket, Spider-Man's deal with the devil felt like a betrayal. Even though I've been away from Amazing Spider-Man for a while, Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos have brought me back to the character that sparked my love for comic books with Spider-Island.
Spider-Island has everything that I could want from a Spider-Man story. It has a serious threat in the form of millions of New Yorkers who have spontaneously developed spider-powers, and more importantly, this serious problem is one that Spider-Man feels is his responsibility. Responsibility may be the most important theme in Spider-Man comics, and the idea that the enemy of this story is one which is Spider-Man's fault is a concept I like. If there was no Spider-Man, there would be no Spider-Flu, and at the beginning of this event, Spider-Man actually wonders if he has been accidentally spreading his spider-powers just by being present in New York City.
As depressing as this sounds, Spider-Man is at his best when he is obsessively guilt tripping and taking responsibility for life threatening issues that aren't necessarily his fault, yet he can't help but feel responsible anyway because that's just the sort of guy that he is.
Spider-Island also references continuity in just the right way (I guess I'm being "that guy" who loves continuity again, but whatever). Slott brings back the villain "The Jackal", a green skinned lunatic who was the progenitor of the much mocked and derided Clone Saga. For me, The Jackal has always been a little too one dimensional, but Slott turns him into a hilarious and much cooler villain. There's also the continuity reference of "The Man-Spider", or that one time when Peter Parker tried to cure himself of his spider-powers only to accelerate his spider-qualities and mutate into a six armed freak. This event takes the idea of The Man-Spider and asks what would happen if an entire city of millions of people was afflicted with that same itsy bitsy spideritis syndrome.
The Clone Saga has become the stereotypical and cliche reference when talking about how terrible Spider-Man stories can be. However, I have mixed feelings about the Clone Saga. I have a soft spot in my heart for some of the concepts and characters from that storyline, such as Ben Reilly and the Scarlet Spider. I don't think I can deny that the Clone Saga went on longer than it should have and I'm glad that a clone isn't still Spider-Man to this day (or IS HE?!!), but I'm also glad to see Slott bring back some elements of the Clone Saga. Kaine plays a big part in this event, and it even looks like he will become the next iteration of the Scarlet Spider. Something about the idea of an alternate Spider-Man who is a little darker and a little more unhinged is appealing to me, and I'm interested in seeing Kaine take on the role of Scarlet Spider, if that is indeed what the House of Ideas has planned.
Humberto Ramos is also in fine form on this series. I have to admit, I haven't always been the biggest fan of his somewhat cartoonish art style, but this series really sold me on his work. While he doesn't go for a realistic look which I usually prefer, Ramos's Spider-Man has a certain elastic quality which I feel captures the movement and body language of the character perfectly. The way that Ramos depicts the spider-powered people in motion just feels right to me, and Slott is asking him to put a ridiculous amount of characters into this story. Ramos pulls it off extremely well, and that's no easy feat. He had to draw millions of Man-Spiders swarming over the city, pretty much all of the characters in The Avengers, and generally one of the most action packed Spider-Man stories I've ever read. The sheer concentration of action scenes in this event is pretty staggering, and at no point did it look like Ramos was sagging under the pressure of so much superpowered battling in every issue.
There's something else about Spider-Island that really makes it an extremely entertaining Spider-Man story: it's fun. It's not brooding, it's not boring, and it certainly doesn't apologize for the outlandish and somewhat silly things that take place in the event. This is a comic book crossover which embraces the silliness of millions of New Yorkers suddenly manifesting all of the abilities of Spider-Man, and Slott packs as many characters and as much action into every issue of the story arc as he possibly can. When I was reading this series, I was reminded of what I love about Spider-Man so much. As corny as this might sound to you, and it certainly sounds corny to me, Slott and Ramos made me realize that I miss Spider-Man. A Spider-Man story doesn't have to be serious business, it doesn't have to be a sad affair where Spider-Man cradles the corpse of a dear friend or relative and cries to the heavens. Spider-Man can be a fun, action packed romp, and Slott and Ramos reminded me of that fact and brought me back to the character that used to be my favorite.
If you're not reading Spider-Island in Amazing Spider-Man, than you're missing out on one of the all time great Spider-Man stories. It's as simple as that. Go read it, true believers, and if you don't like it…well, at least it's not the Clone Saga Part Two: Electro Boogaloo, right?

It's quite odd that this hasn't been made public until Monday early afternoon when the game was played Saturday night. But, it has and now the Big Ten will have to delve into whether Michigan freshman forward Glenn Robinson III punched/elbowed Indiana guard Jordan Hulls Saturday. #3 Indiana took down #1 Michigan in Bloomington 81-73. The play in question happened after a Michigan basket. Notice in the left of the video as GRIII turns to head back up court. You can definitely see contact with Hulls' head, but you can't clearly see if there was any malice behind it. Do I believe it is suspension-worthy? I do. A game or two would suffice for me. Robinson was obviously flustered Saturday as he shot 1-6 from the field for a season/career low two points. Here's the video. Tell us what you think:

Copying nature could save us energy, study shows
University of Bath
May 9, 2006
New technologies that mimic the way insects, plants and animals overcome engineering problems could help reduce our dependence on energy, according to new research published in the Royal Society journal Interface.
However, new research which has compared how nature and man-made technologies overcome similar problems has shown that only 5 per cent of natural machines' rely on energy in the same way.
Instead, insects, plants, birds and mammals rely on the structure and organisation of their body parts and behaviour; the solutions to problems are already built in.
"An example might be a hammer," said Professor Julian Vincent from the University of Bath who led the research .
Biomimetics, technology that mimics nature Engineers, scientists, and business people are increasingly turning toward nature for design inspiration. The field of biomimetics, the application of methods and systems, found in nature, to engineering and technology, has spawned a number of innovations far superior to what the human mind alone could have devised. The reason is simple. Nature, through billions of years of trial and error, has produced effective solutions to innumerable complex real-world problems. The rigorous competition of natural selection means waste and efficiency are not tolerated in natural systems, unlike many of the technologies devised by humans. For example, gas-powered cars are only about 20 percent efficient, that is, only 20 percent of the thermal-energy content of the gasoline is converted into mechanical work.
Design of new Mercedes-Benz bionic car inspired by fish body shape DaimlerChrysler is using a new concept vehicle to examine the great potential of bionics for automobile development, and has achieved outstanding results for fuel consumption and emissions with a combination of pioneering diesel engine technology and innovative emission control methods. The Mercedes-Benz bionic car study will have its world premiere at this year's DaimlerChrysler Innovation Symposium in Washington.
Toucan Beaks Are Models Of Lightweight Strength says UCSD engineer As a boy growing up in Brazil 40 years ago, Marc A. Meyers marveled at the lightweight toughness of toucan beaks that he occasionally found on the forest floor. Now a materials scientist and professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at UCSD's Jacobs School of Engineering, Meyers said makers of airplanes and automobiles may benefit from the first ever detailed engineering analysis of toucan beaks conducted in his lab.
Nature's engineering shows butterfly innovation Flourescent patches on the wings of African swallowtail butterflies work in a very similar, but more efficient way to high emission light emitting diodes (LEDs) used in electronic equipment and displays, according to University of Exeter research published in Science.
Biomimicry Employed by MIT Nanotechnology Researchers The ocean is a perilous environment for a soft-bodied creature like a sea snail, so nature gives it an advanced nanostructured armor system that is stiff and strong yet lightweight. It's called a shell. Understanding the fundamental design principles of natural armor systems like shells may help engineers design improved body armor systems for humans in perilous situations, like soldiers and police officers. At MIT's Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies, researchers are studying the structure and mechanics of the tough inner layer of mollusc shells, called "nacre" or mother-of-pearl, at extremely small, nanometer-length scales (a nanometer is a billionth of a meter).
Using biomimicry to fight computer viruses via "immunity software" Biomimicry is being used to fight computer viruses. The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Arizona (UA) received $1 million to fund research and development of security software that mimics biological immune systems. The software will screen a computer network for abnormalities, isolating infectious computer viruses, worms and other attack agents while developing software "antibodies" to fight them. UA received the grant from the Army Research Office.
Nature Provides Design Template for Human Problems Copying the ideas of others is usually frowned upon, but when it comes to the work of Mother Nature, scientists are finding they can use nature as a template. An interdisciplinary group of scientists and engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology recently formed the Center for Biologically Inspired Design (CBID) with the goal of capitalizing on the rich source of design solutions present in biological processes. The researchers believe nature can inspire design and engineering solutions that are efficient, practical and sustainable and thus have the potential to greatly enhance new technologies, materials and processes
"But the woodpecker's hammer, its head, relies on speed. It is very light to carry around, and functions rather like a whip, with the heavier body moving a small amount, and the lighter head, on its long neck, moving much faster.
"They can each deliver the same amount of impact energy, but they do it in a very different way."
Although mankind has looked to nature for inspiration for generations, biomimetic' devices are a relatively recent phenomenon. The stable wing in aeroplanes, Velcro and self-cleaning paint are all simple devices based on natural inspiration.
The Centre for Biomimetic and Natural Technologies at the University of Bath is helping extend this principle to more advanced engineering challenges.
Researchers are currently looking at the desert cockroach (to develop a new kind of dehumidifier technology), insect sense organs (for structural health monitoring) and the egg-laying organ of a wood-wasp (for a new type of steerable endoscope).
"Evolution has sculpted animals, insects and plants to produce incredibly efficient machines that carry out a range of impressive engineering feats," said Professor Vincent, Director of the Centre.
"From the way desert cockroaches gather water to the way wasps bore a hole into a tree, nature has developed a myriad of ways of solving difficult problems.
"By better understanding the way in which biology defines and solves technical problems, we can develop new approaches that could significantly reduce our dependence on energy.
"It is likely that we have similar technologies to nature — it's just that we use them in a particularly unintelligent way.
"Exactly how much energy we could save is not yet clear, but our research suggests that the potential is certainly there to be exploited."
The researchers used a form of the Russian analytical system TRIZ to compare how man-made technologies and natural machines' overcome similar engineering problems.
The analysis showed that there is only a 12 per cent similarity in the way biology and technology solves the problems they are faced with.
"Whilst we have been quick to see the potential for developing new kinds of products from nature, it is only now that we can see the potential for making energy savings too," said Professor Vincent.
"Given the growing demands for improving our energy-efficiency and reducing the amount of pollution we produce, biomimetics offers a new area of study which could reap strong rewards for the future."
The research project was funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.

According to WWD, 39-year-old "Dancing With the Stars" winner and co-host Brooke Burke has signed a deal with the footwear company that will also have her shilling the same style for the brand through 2011.
"We love Brooke, and we're excited for this opportunity to work with her on our new global Shape-ups campaign," Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers, tells WWD. "Not only is Brooke a great talent and personality who always looks amazing, she's also an inspiration to women (for) her balance of career, family and wellness. This makes her a perfect fit to represent our family-friendly brand."
Burke previously worked as a Skechers model in 1995 and just last year, appeared in the company's "Nothing Compares to Family" campaign alongside her boyfriend and four children, all clad in the chunky athletic sneakers.
The Playboy model turned TV personality will be endorsing the Shape-ups in print, TV, online and outdoor advertisements. And she can already be seen with the kicks on Skechers.com.

Laurence Bowers had 14 points and 11 rebounds and Phil Pressey had 11 points and eight assists, leading No. 13 Missouri to a 68-65 victory over VCU on Saturday in the third-place game of the Battle 4 Atlantis. Pressey gave the Tigers (5-1) the lead for good with a 3-pointer with 1:17 to play. That capped a run of five straight possessions where the teams exchanged the lead. The Rams (3-3) turned the ball over with 57 seconds left. The Tigers called a timeout with 10 seconds left on the shot clock. Pressey took the inbounds, dribbled off a few seconds then made a move to the basket where he ducked under a VCU player and hit a flip shot as the shot clock hit zero.
