Saturn's Titan Splash
Last week there was a big splash (pun intended) made over some images taken by the Cassini spacecraft of Titan, Saturn's largest moon. The images suggest that there is indeed liquid (liquid does not mean liquid water) on the surface of Titan. NASA has an excellent summary of the interpretation of the images online here, but please keep in mind that water has a number of unique properties. One of them is that water freezes from the top down, because frozen water floats in the liquid phase of water. Thus, here on Earth you can have frozen ponds with fish still swimming beneath. And on Europa you may find liquid water beneath the frozen solid surface top. Liquid ethane and methane don't act in the same manner.
SS433 Still Something of an Enigma
In a paper to be published in the Astrophysical Journal, available online now here, astronomers re-examine an old friend called SS433. As the authors put it "SS 433 has been studied for about 30 years since its discovery, the identification of the compact object, the most fundamental issue to understand this system, has remained unsolved." With the help of the Subaru and Gemini satellites, these astronomers believe that they have better constrained the mass of SS433 to be between 1.9 and 4.9 solar masses. Nonetheless, these astronomers hedge their bets and still won't state definitively that SS433 is indeed a black hole. And so the SS433 saga continues.
Understanding Saturn's Ring System
As the authors put it, "the origin and long-term evolution of Saturn's rings is still an unsolved problem." While astronomers still seek answers to many of the questions about Saturn's ring system, the Cassini spacecraft has been a tremendous help in approaching the answers. In a recently released book titled "Saturn from Cassini-Huygen", one chapter is devoted to to Saturn's rings, and is now available online here. So take a look if you ever wondered where Saturn got its rings.
Massive Black Holes Got Gas
In a paper submitted to the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, available online now here, astronomers from UC Berkeley discuss their computer simulations of the gas in the vicinity of massive black holes in the core of galaxies. Of note are the conclusions that black hole accretion rates and star formation rates are correlated, thus linking star formation rates to the active galactic nuclei (AGN) of galaxies. And if you are not impressed by those conclusions, perhaps you'll be impressed by the movies developed by the computer simulations, which are available online here.
Latest Results from Cryogenic Dark Matter Search
The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) is a collaborative effort among 15 universities. The experiment is being conducted "a half-mile underground at the Soudan mine in northern Minnesota," and it "uses 30 detectors made of germanium and silicon in an attempt to detect" what is known as WIMPs. WIMPs are Weakly Interacting Massive Particles which are suspected as being a major contributor to the dark matter in the universe. The announcement summarizing the latest results from CDMS can be found here. For a more technical description of the results, check out the pre-publication paper available online now here. Very briefly, while CDMS has detected two possible dark matter WIMP events, the probability that these detections are from background noise is such that the CDMS team is not going to say that it has been a successful detection. Nonetheless, as the experiment continues, these data provide some hope to astronomers in their attempt to characterize the nature of the cold dark matter that apparently engulfs all galaxies.
Kuiper Belt Grows in Hubble's View
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has been valuable in the search for solar system objects — including worldlets well beyond the orbit of Neptune. This region is called the Kuiper Belt and it's a vast ring of icy debris. Material in this debris ranges from dust-sized particles up to objects the size of miniature worlds — the so-called Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs).
Recently, scientists studying archived HST pointing system data found the telltale signature of a tiny KBO that lies some 6.7 billion kilometers (4.2 billion miles) from Earth. At roughly 975 meters (3,200 feet) across, it is the smallest KBO ever found. It is also the first observational evidence for a population of comet-sized bodies in the Kuiper Belt that are being ground down by collisions. What this means is that icy debris particles in this part of the solar system collide and break apart. This results in changes in the population of objects in the Kuiper Belt. These changes can be as simple as cracks and craters or involve more complex processes like heating and melting, which alters the chemical composition of the objects. Thus, over the course of 4.56 billion years, the Kuiper Belt has evolved quite a bit from its "pristine" state, right after the formation of the Solar System.
Studying this region also has implications for the study of such rings around other stars, something ELSE that Hubble does very well. Its observations of nearby stars show that a number of them have Kuiper Belt-like disks of icy debris encircling them. These disks are the remnants of planetary formation, just as our own KBO is the icy repository of material left over after the Sun and planets formed more than 4.5 billion years ago. Studying our own and distant KBO populations help scientists understand the evolutionary history of planetary systems, particularly such icy debris disks. For these distant stars, Hubble scientists predict that over billions of years the debris should collide, grinding the KBO-type objects down to ever smaller pieces that were not part of the original debris population. For more information on this discovery, visit the news announcement about it at the Hubble Space Telescope web site page.
NASA Partners with Saudi Arabia on Moon and Asteroid Research
NASA Press Release
WASHINGTON — NASA and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) have signed a joint statement that allows for collaboration in lunar and asteroid science research. The partnership recognizes the Saudi Lunar and Near-Earth Object Science Center as an affiliate partner with the NASA Lunar Science Institute at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif.
"This collaboration is within the scope of the Memorandum of Understanding on Science and Technology signed between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United States of America last year and later ratified by the Council of Ministers," said H.H. Dr. Turki Bin Saud Bin Mohammed Al-Saud, vice president for Research Institutes, KACST. "The international interest in lunar science and, more recently, near Earth objects led to the establishment of the Saudi Lunar and Near Earth Object Science Center as a focal point for lunar science and NEO studies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, we are looking forward to our expanding collaboration with NASA for the benefit of both countries."
"NASA's Lunar Science Institute exists to conduct cutting-edge lunar science and train the next generation of lunar scientists and explorers," said Greg Schmidt, institute deputy director at Ames. "Our international partnerships are critical for meeting these objectives, and we are very excited by the important science, training and education that our new Saudi colleagues bring to the NASA Lunar Science Institute."
"This is an important advance in our growing program of bilateral science and technology cooperation," said U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia James Smith. "It will help realize President Obama's goal, expressed in his June 4 speech to the Muslim world, of increasing our cooperation on science and technology, which we believe closely corresponds to King Abdullah's vision."
The Saudi science center's proposal brings technical and engineering expertise to advance the broad goals of lunar science at the institute. Specific areas of lunar study of both scientific and cultural importance include radar and infrared imaging, laser ranging and imaging, and topographical studies. The center's studies in near-Earth object science also offer important contributions to an area of importance to NASA.
"The Saudi Lunar and Near Earth Object Science Center's primary mission is to direct all lunar and near Earth object related research within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," said Dr. Haithem Altwaijry, deputy director of the National Satellite Technology Program at KACST. "It will reach out to students in addition to researchers and present fertile ground for scientific research."
"NASA welcomes international cooperation for mutual benefit with organizations large and small in all regions of the world," said Michael O'Brien, assistant administrator for external relations at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "Our continuing discussions with Saudi Arabian officials may lead to future joint scientific collaboration in other areas of mutual interest."

NASA's WISE Eye on the Universe Begins All-Sky Survey Mission
NASA Press Release
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. — NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, lifted off over the Pacific Ocean this morning on its way to map the entire sky in infrared light.
A Delta II rocket carrying the spacecraft launched at 6:09 a.m. PST (9:09 a.m. EST) from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The rocket deposited WISE into a polar orbit 326 miles above Earth.
"WISE thundered overhead, lighting up the pre-dawn skies," said William Irace, the mission's project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "All systems are looking good, and we are on our way to seeing the entire infrared sky better than ever before."
Engineers acquired a signal from the spacecraft via NASA's Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System just 10 seconds after the spacecraft separated from the rocket. Approximately three minutes later, WISE re-oriented itself with its solar panels facing the sun to generate its own power. The next major event occurred about 17 minutes later. Valves on the cryostat, a chamber of super-cold hydrogen ice that cools the WISE instrument, opened. Because the instrument sees the infrared, or heat, signatures of objects, it must be kept at chilly temperatures. Its coldest detectors are less than minus 447 degrees Fahrenheit.
"WISE needs to be colder than the objects it's observing," said Ned Wright of UCLA, the mission's principal investigator. "Now we're ready to see the infrared glow from hundreds of thousands of asteroids, and hundreds of millions of stars and galaxies."
With the spacecraft stable, cold and communicating with mission controllers at JPL, a month-long checkout and calibration is underway.
WISE will see the infrared colors of the whole sky with sensitivity and resolution far better than the last infrared sky survey, performed 26 years ago. The space telescope will spend nine months scanning the sky once, then one-half the sky a second time. The primary mission will end when WISE's frozen hydrogen runs out, about 10 months after launch.
Just about everything in the universe glows in infrared, which means the mission will catalog a variety of astronomical targets. Near-Earth asteroids, stars, planet-forming disks and distant galaxies all will be easy for the mission to see. Hundreds of millions of objects will populate the WISE atlas, providing astronomers and other space missions, such as NASA's planned James Webb Space Telescope, with a long-lasting infrared roadmap.
JPL manages the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The mission was competitively selected under the Explorers Program, managed by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. The science instrument was built by the Space Dynamics Laboratory in Logan, Utah, and the spacecraft was built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. in Boulder, Colo. Science operations and data processing take place at the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. NASA's Launch Services Program at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Fla., managed the payload integration and the launch service.
More information about the WISE mission is available online at: http://www.nasa.gov/wise, http://wise.astro.ucla.edu and http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/wise.
Detecting Exoplanet Moons with Gravitational Microlensing
In a paper to be published in Astronomy and Astrophysics, available online now here, astronomers have concluded that exoplanetary moons should be detectable using orbiting satellite telescopes and a technique known as gravitational microlensing. This technique, a refinement of gravitational lensing, applies Einstein's General Theory of Relativity and its curvature of space effect on the path that the light will follow. Although the technique has only been used to discover a very small percentage of the 430 or so known exoplanets, it apparently may be ultimately used to discover moons orbiting exoplanets, where the other techniques cannot accomplish this feat. The paper is provides the reader an excellent overview of gravitational lensing, gravitational microlensing and its link to the experiments done almost a century ago to first demonstrate that Einstein's General Theory of Relativity was correct.

I updated the gallery with some exclusive new candids from July 1, 2010 when Bryce was spotted in Beverly Hills. Click here to see them!
Actress Bryce Dallas Howard has joined other actresses like Gwyneth Paltrow and Brooke Shields and opens up about her post natal depression.
Bryce put on a fake happy face when she gave birth to her son Theodore Norman, now 3 years old. She pretended that everything was fine on the outside but she was suffering on the inside.
The actress reveals that she had planned for a home birth but due to medical complications had to go to the hospital. She says, "Mostly I recall the moment someone handed my son to me, and I heard shouts of joy, and my father crying, "Bryce, you're an incredible mother!" She adds, "And then… Nothing. I felt nothing… Someone encouraged me to sit up, and slowly, one by one, friends and family visited. Some were crying, others bursting with joy. Glassy-eyed, I politely listened to their impressions of our new son. I had no impression of my own." (… Read more)
For the last two years or so, we've been reporting on Summit Entertainment's Untitled Cancer Comedy, which was formerly titled I'm With Cancer. The movie finally has an official title: Live With It, clever eh?
The film is an autobiographical story based on the real experiences of screenwriter Will Reiser, a producer on HBO's Da Ali G Show and VH1's Best Week Ever, who was diagnosed with cancer in his mid-20s and successfully battled the disease over several years. Directed by Wackness helmer Jonathan Levine, the film stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a 25-year-old who learns he has a rare form of terminal cancer. (Source)
I have uploaded over 100 captures of Bryce's short appearance on Live with Regis & Kelly yesterday that you can see here – enjoy! :)
She's always up for a good time, and last night (July 6) Bryce Dallas Howard was spotted at the Moves Summer 2010 event in New York City. The "Eclipse" actress looked beautiful as she arrived at Studio 450, sporting a pretty black dress with gold accents and black heels.
BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD says she was thrilled by her role as villainous vampire Victoria in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.
Not only is the character a more edgy counterpoint to the ethereal romance between Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), but it's also something of a departure for Howard, who was previously known for what The Village director M Night Shyamalan called her "American purity."
She says she loved going to the dark side to embrace the destructive impulses of Victoria in the film, which sees Bella face a choice between fangs or fur (vampiric Edward or Taylor Lautner's wolfboy Jacob Black) and is released in the UK this Friday, July 9.
"Vengeance, resentment and fury – these were totally exciting and exhilarating things for me to play and to live in unapologetically", said Howard.
"And it's definitely not a mindset I've had a chance to explore in my work", she told The Times. (… Read more)

Mostly Cloudy
Wind: 0 mph
By Jonah Ibsen
It is fascinating to work in a public school in the 21st century. With a plethora of new research about brain development, learning theory, emerging technologies and new teaching practices, not to mention the countless ways in which students can't help but keep you on your toes, there is no reason for a teacher to ever be bored. After 10 years of teaching middle school English, it has been an amazing transition to come and join the ninth-grade team at Harwood and I have been impressed by the intelligence, dedication and vision of my colleagues. Harwood is at the crossroads of significant change and, I would argue, progress. Much of this change is the result of new thinking about how students learn best and how schools should help students maximize their education, but at least one debate swirling around Harwood and our community can trace its roots back over 100 years ago.
Around the turn of the 20th century, our school system was designed to prepare young people to step into their appropriate roles in the rapidly expanding industrial economy. Alarmed that schools were losing sight of their mission to help kids develop into critical-thinking, socially engaged citizens, philosophers such as John Dewey founded the Progressive Education Association to reform our entire educational system. In works such as The School and Society and Democracy and Education, Dewey argued that schools should integrate students and curricula, doing away with the divisions between academic and vocational "tracks." Furthermore, he believed that schools should be redesigned to help all students learn to be more active participants in the social, political and economic decisions that impact their future.
One side effect of World War II and the Cold War was the widespread repudiation of the progressive movement in education. For much of the 20th century, it seemed as if Dewey lost the argument about the purpose and design of education in America. Tracking became widespread and schools, seeking standardization, adopted the factory model. The rapid changes in culture, climate and the economy of the 21st century, however, have caused many progressive ideas to come full circle. On a recent visit to High Tech High, a public charter school in San Diego, several Harwood educators were lucky enough to meet the two founding teachers from Cambridge. One of these visionaries, Larry Rosenstock, who once taught carpentry in inner-city Boston and is now the CEO of a growing network of project-based schools in California, said, "The purpose of school is not to serve the public. The purpose of school is to create the public."
If you agree that schools should not simply mirror the class system found in society but help shape a new, diverse class of thoughtful, involved citizens, then how should we proceed at Harwood? How can we continue to support dividing students into relatively arbitrary, stratified groups in which the best is expected of the few and mediocrity is accepted from the rest? What would John Dewey say about this moral question or, better yet, what did he say? In a 1922 article in the New Republic titled "Individuality, Equality, and Superiority," Dewey wrote, "The democrat with his faith in moral equality is the representative of aristocracy made universal. His equality is that of distinction made universal." I believe that at Harwood, our equality should be that of distinction made universal. In other words, what we need to do is to clearly articulate what we expect all students to learn and be able to do by the end of ninth grade and to lay out exactly what it would mean to earn distinction in all honors-level classes. Let students see for themselves what it means to achieve distinction and let them choose to pursue an honors distinction in any class they wish.
To further our goal of creating the next generation of citizens, let's rethink how we gauge and talk about the education our students and children receive. I, for one, am fed up with "rigorous" as a catch-all term meant to denote challenging and demanding coursework. What does it mean for a class to be "rigorous" anyway? Does that signify a lot of homework, a fast-paced style of instruction, deep exploration of real-world topics, a climate of adult-level civil discourse, or something else entirely? Instead of rigor, I suggest two new ways of thinking about what and how our students are doing in school: engagement and student work. Let's start talking to students about what makes their classes engaging and interesting. How are teachers tapping into or sparking their curiosity, creativity and critical thinking? What classes, units, projects, or assignments are students going home and discussing with their parents? And, along these lines, let's start asking what students are concretely doing, making and producing in school. While a search for rigor becomes increasingly subjective the harder you look, student work will always speak clearly as a measure of how meaningful and challenging any given class may be.
I would argue that by grouping students in flexible, new ways, clearly defining what honors looks like and making this a real possibility for any student, talking about engagement rather than rigor, and publicly displaying exemplary student work, we can make distinction universal at Harwood. And that sounds like real progress to me.
Ibsen is a ninth-grade English teacher at Harwood Union High School.

Obama, Romney Begin Final Swing State Tours
By editor
Originally published on Thu November 1, 2012 6:42 pm
It's a tight race in Nevada, where the vaunted Democratic machine is being challenged by Republicans. The GOP hopes a higher turnout will counter a Democratic registration advantage. Unions — which have half Hispanic membership — and the Obama campaign are doggedly pursuing every voter. Meanwhile, the Romney campaign's Nevada team is doing the same. Early voting ends Friday.

Former Charleston-based political commentator Jack Hunter, who worked under the name the "Southern Avenger," has resigned his post as an aide to U.S. Sen. Rand Paul.
Hunter's exit comes as the media spotlight this month focused on some of his past comments and writings, including one that President Abraham Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth's heart was "in the right place."
Paul, a Kentucky Republican and potential presidential candidate in 2016, told reporters in Louisville on Monday that some of Hunter's past comments had become a distraction and that "it just wasn't going to work."
In one column from 2004 titled "John Wilkes Booth Was Right," Hunter wrote "Although Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth's heart was in the right place, the Southern Avenger does regret that Lincoln's murder automatically turned him into a martyr."
Locally, Hunter wrote for the Charleston City Paper and also The Post and Courier's entertainment section. He also did radio appearances. He did not immediately respond to an email request for comment. His website appears to have been taken down.
Paul said Hunter's departure was a mutual decision. Paul confirmed the departure after a speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars national convention in Louisville.

The Obama administration wants the International Atomic Energy Agency to make public data said to demonstrate Iran's efforts to develop a nuclear-weapon capability, The New York Times reported over the weekend.
The release of classified material on Iran's design and research activities would be likely to bring fresh urgency to consideration of the measures Washington and partner governments need to take to end Tehran's alleged military nuclear program, according to the newspaper. The Middle Eastern state says its atomic activities are entirely peaceful in nature.
The United States is already looking for additional opportunities to penalize Iran over a reported plot to kill Saudi Arabia's ambassador to Washington. The case led the administration to step up efforts to persuade the U.N. nuclear watchdog to make the data on Iran public.
Insider sources said the material does not absolutely prove Tehran is building a nuclear weapon, but shows efforts to develop systems needed to blueprint and set off a bomb. The information reportedly encompasses the requirements for processing weapon-grade uranium, producing missile nose cones, preparing explosives for igniting an atomic explosion and other sensitive matters.
"The United States believes that a comprehensive assessment would be invaluable for the international community in its consideration of Iran's nuclear program and what to do about it," National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor said on Saturday.
Tehran has said the papers in question are fakes.
The Middle Eastern state last year began generating 20 percent-enriched uranium, enabling it to potentially more quickly produce nuclear-weapon material, which must be refined to roughly 90 percent. Tehran, which insists the uranium is intended to fuel a medical research reactor, in June announced plans to move production of the material to a new site and to boost output by threefold.
"They sought to hide their enrichment activity for years, and their covert facility at Qum, which the president revealed in 2009," a source close to President Obama told The Times. "They continue to enrich at 20 percent, and their rationale for doing so is demonstrably false."
The International Atomic Energy Agency is preparing its next safeguards report on Iran, which is expected to be released before the IAEA governing board meets on Nov. 17 and 18, Reuters reported.
"The indications right now are that it will be a very strong report offering a good amount of detail on possible military dimensions" of Iran's nuclear program, according to a diplomat from a Western nation.
The board has the authority to send the case back to the U.N. Security Council, which has already issued four sets of sanctions aimed at curbing Iran's atomic efforts.
Sources, though, questioned whether IAEA chief Yukiya Amano would issue a concrete statement on Iran that would be akin to a May report in which he said a Syrian site destroyed in a 2007 Israeli airstrike had "very likely" housed an illicit nuclear reactor.
"To come to a Syria-type conclusion is going to be difficult," according to one unidentified issue specialist.
Amano is "on the horns of a dilemma" regarding the upcoming document, said Ali Vaez of the Federation of American Scientists.
"If he publishes classified documents of a member state, in the absence of a smoking gun, he could undermine the agency's credibility," Vaez said, according to Reuters. "If he simply lists a few issues of concern without hard evidence, Iran could reject the allegations out of hand and further reduce its cooperation with the agency."
In his last report, Amano indicated he was "increasingly concerned" about the "possible military dimension" of nuclear operations in Iran, Agence France-Presse reported.
"Iran is escalating, I believe, its nuclear development. Iran is increasingly hostile," Senate Intelligence Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., told Fox News Sunday. "It's a very dangerous situation."
"If you project out a number of years, we are on a collision course. If we want to avoid it, we have to take action to avoid it," AFP quoted her as saying.

A new study using brevetoxin-2, a compound produced naturally by marine algae, stimulated nerve cell growth and plasticity in cultured mouse neurons. This research advances a new pharmacological treatment to aid recovery of brain function following a stroke or other traumatic brain injury.
Roger Maxwell of Dallas didn't smoke. He exercised regularly and kept his weight down. But at 49 he suffered a stroke that left him wheelchair-bound and unable to speak words more than two syllables. Maxwell's stroke came from an arterial dissection; an artery in the back of his neck split in half and blocked the flow of blood to his brain.

She was a member of Anthony Wayne First Church of God, Pythian Sisters, and Loyal Service Club.

SOUTH WHITLEY — There are plenty of teams that would be disappointed with a 24-point loss.
Whitko Girls Head Coach Brandon Bradley, on the other hand, is content with the way the team played against a tough Elkhart Memorial Saturday.
Though the 52-28 loss may appear bad, the Lady Wildcats lost to the Lady Chargers by 46 points last season (79-33).
Bradley is happy with the team's effort.
"That's the absolute best they could've played," Bradley said.
The day-after-Thanksgiving "Black Friday" marketing push by Whitley County-area businesses begins in earnest Tuesday and Wednesday in The Post & Mail newspaper.
A total of 19 pre-printed advertising supplements – including the hyper-local Thanksgiving Gift Guide – will be inserted in the Tuesday and Wednesday Post & Mail.
Additionally, local advertising bargains will appear throughout the news pages of both publications.
Responding to local advertising will boost your family's budget and get your holiday shopping off on the right foot, local experts agree.
INDIANAPOLIS – The retail cost of menu items for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner including turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie and all the usual trimmings increased by nearly 8 percent this year, according to an informal survey of grocery store prices conducted by Indiana Farm Bureau.
FORT WAYNE — A contingent made up of military veterans and Toys For Tots officials from Whitley County met last week at the Allen County Library to air a show on Access 21.
Locally, the program has been around nearly 20 years.
Last year, the Whitley County Toys For Tots program helped almost 600 children who otherwise, according to the press release, "would not have had a Christmas."
The show recorded by the local group will air at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 25 on Comcast 57 and Frontier 27, and again on Nov. 28 on those same channels.
GOSHEN — On the heels of the team's first win, the Lady Eagles came into their first Northeast Corner Conference hoping to start out on top.
But Fairfield's pressure was too much for Churubusco, forcing a 44-23 loss.
Churubusco didn't score until 4:30 ran off the clock in the first quarter with a set of free throws by Haleigh Gross.
'Busco's scorers became more diverse in the second quarter, with baskets by Lacey Pulley, Heather Monk, Morgan Young and another pair of free throws by Gross.
Gross was 6-for-7 from the stripe in the first half.
On Jan. 12, 2012, the Indiana Municipal Power Agency (IMPA) is anticipated to change its energy cost adjustment rates.
The city of Columbia City will file with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC), for its approval, a change in its schedule of rates for electricity sold to reflect the change in the cost of power from IMPA together with the reconciliation of electric costs and revenues from prior periods.
Upon approval from the IURC, a change per kilowatt hour is expected to be approximately:
• R: $0.001406 / Kwh
• RH: $0.001276 / Kwh
• GS: $0.000829 / Kwh
Rylie Ann Powell, 4, of Larwill, passed away at 9:20 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2011, at Riley Children's Hospital, Indianapolis.
Born Dec. 14, 2006 in Columbia City, she was the daughter of Paul Powell, Jr. and Amber Waybright. She lived her entire lifetime in Larwill.
COLUMBIA CITY — Robert E. Teusch, 81, of rural Columbia City, died at 7:35 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 17, 2011 at Lutheran Hospital, Fort Wayne where he was admitted Nov. 9.
He was born Dec. 20, 1929, in Huntington County, a son of Edward J. and Odelia (Ness) Teusch.
His formative years were spent in Jefferson Township and Union Township. He graduated from Jefferson Center School.
From Feb. 7, 1951, until Jan. 8, 1953, he served in the U.S. Army.
On Jan. 21, 1956, he was united in marriage to Marilee J. Miller.

Skin-like sound.
A warmth, sensitivity, and articulation reminiscent of calfskin all characterize Renaissance heads. These heads have a very warm and tonal sound that's great for melodic expression and affords a wider, more balanced sound spectrum for tympani, snares, toms, and bass drums in any drumming application.
For snare drums and timbales, the textured surface provides excellent stick and brush response that will not degrade under harsh playing. For toms, Renaissance combines the warmth and depth of laminated heads, the clarity and response of coated heads, with the resonance and projection of clear heads.

FIRST PITCH - What You Need to Know
Mizzou will head to Alabama for its final regular season road trip of the 2013 season as it will play a three-game series with the Crimson Tide at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. The series will commence at 6:35 p.m. on Friday and resume at 1 p.m. Saturday on Fox SportSouth. The Sunday series finale will be played at 1 p.m.
Series History Mizzou and Alabama have never met, but Mizzou has played nine games against SEC West schools this season, compiling just a 2-7 record. Alabama comes into the weekend series with a 27-21 overall record, including an 11-12 mark in league play. Mizzou enters the Alabama series at just 4-15 on the road this season. Below are some notables on the road in 2013.
Notables on the Road
Dylan Kelly leads all Tigers with a .313 average on the road.
Dane Opel is a .300 hitter on the road and leads the team in RBI (10), slugging, OBP and runs.
Josh Lester has hit both of his homers this season in road games.
Shane Segovia has a team-leading six doubles on the road this season.
The Final Push As Mizzou heads to Alabama this weekend, it will be looking to shore up a return trip to the Heart of Dixie and a berth in the SEC Tournament. Currently, Mizzou sits at 7-17 in SEC during its inaugural season. That record is good enough for 12th place in the league, ahead of Tennessee (6-16) and Georgia (5-16). The top 12 teams qualify to go to the SEC Tournament in Hoover, so the Tigers need to take care of business at Alabama.
The Race For Hoover
11th Place - Auburn - 9-15 (..375) - Mizzou owns tiebreaker - Remaining: at Florida, vs. Arkansas
12th Place - Mizzou - 7-17 (.292)
13th Place - Tennessee - 6-16 (.273) - UT owns tiebreaker - Remaining: at Arkansas, vs. Texas A&M
14th Place - Georgia - 5-16 (.238) - Mizzou owns tiebreaker - Remaining: at South Carolina, vs. Florida
REcapping LAst Week
Mizzou lost four consecutive games last week, dropping the team to 15-28 on the season and 7-17 in SEC play. The Tigers lost to in-state rival SEMO, 9-7, on Tuesday (April 30) despite carrying a 5-3 lead into the sixth inning of that game. Mizzou was then swept at Texas A&M in three straight games over the weekend in College Station. On Friday night, the Tigers wasted a great start from Rob Zastryzny, who went 8.0 innings, allowing just two earned runs on seven hits while striking out seven. Mizzou scored in the first inning of that game but couldn't overcome three consecutive hits to open the fourth inning as the Aggies plated their only two runs of the game in that frame. The Tigers again held a 5-3 lead, this time on Saturday headed into the ninth inning at Texas A&M, but the defense committed four errors in the inning, which led to three unearned runs to give Texas A&M a walkoff, 6-5, win. All six runs in the game were unearned as Brett Graves pitched well enough to earn his second win of the season, going 6.2 innings, scattering just seven hits while striking out four and walking none with his only blemish being three unearned runs in the first inning. Freshman Josh Lester hit his second career homer, a game-tying three-run shot in the sixth inning and junior infielder Shane Segovia hit a go-ahead two-run single with two outs in the seventh, but the defense could not hold up in the ninth ... Mizzou again struck first on Sunday at Texas A&M as Logan Pearson led off the game with a walk and was batted around to score on a Dylan Kelly single to center field with two outs, but that was the only run production for the Tigers on the day as they lost 4-1.
Rob Z Approaching Career Top-10 in Strikeouts
Junior lefty Rob Zastryzny struck out seven Texas A&M batters last Friday in a 2-1 defeat, moving his career total to 217 over his three years. That puts him just six strikeouts shy of cracking the all-time top-10 in career strikeouts in Mizzou history. In his career, Zastryzny has started 29 Friday night games and has been the Tigers' Friday night guy since his freshman year. Once he cracks the top 10, his name will stand alongside such Tiger greats as Max Scherzer, Aaron Crow, Kyle Gibson and Nick Tepesch.
Opel Lands on Sportscenter Top Plays
Senior outfielder Dane Opel did something that most college players dream of when he landed at #1 on ESPN's Sportscenter Top Plays last weekend after robbing Texas A&M's Troy Stein of a homer. He lept over the wall in right field and ended up halfway over the wall while bringing the ball back. The video has since went viral with nearly 7,000 views on YouTube and landing on the front page of Yahoo.com.
Pitching Has Been Great Lately
Despite Mizzou's struggles as of late, the blame cannot be put on the Tiger pitching staff. In fact, over the last 10 games, the Tigers' ERA is a very good 2.41 while in the last eight SEC games, the Tiger pitching staff boasts a combined ERA of 1.63. In those eight league games, Mizzou has allowed just 13 earned runs over 71.2 innings pitched. Heading into the Tigers' April 6 contest at Georgia, the Tiger pitching staff owned a very solid 3.28 ERA. But in its next seven games, the staff really struggled, posting a staff ERA of 9.00 while allowing opponents to hit an eye-popping .392 with a WHIP of 2.19. It's no surprise that the Tigers went 2-5 in those seven games, but since that point, the pitching has seemed to return to form in the last 10 games.
Everett Launches First Career Homer
Mizzou junior shortstop Dillon Everett launched his first career homer against SEMO last Tuesday, blasting a 3-2 pitch over the wall in left center in the fifth inning, which at the time was the go-ahead run, only Mizzou couldn't hold the lead. Everett, who has played a lot since his freshman year including all but one game last season, went 349 at-bats before his first homer.
Lester Plays Every Infield Position
Mizzou freshman Josh Lester played at second base for Mizzou last Tuesday night against SEMO as he has now played every infield position for the Tigers in his first year in black and gold. He has seen the most time at first base, playing in 20 games there, but he started six games at short while Dillon Everett and Shane Segovia were recovering from injuries and he has played at third base seven times as well. Lester has been a key contributor for Mizzou with 21 RBI. He had a huge game-tying, three-run homer at Texas A&M last weekend in the Saturday game before the Tigers blew the lead late. He is third on the team with 21 RBI. Not only that, but he has just four errors on the season, a team-low among Tiger infielders and leads the Tiger infielders with a .984 fielding percentage.
Second Inning a Big one For Tigers
Another trend for the Tigers has been their ability to score in the second inning this season as it has outscored its opponents, 26-6, in the second this season. In fact, the second and fourth innings (26-18) are the only two innings in which Mizzou is outscoring its opponents this season and the plus-20 margin in the second inning is clearly the Tigers' largest in any inning this season.
Steele Continues to Do It All
After becoming the first SEC player to earn SEC Player of the Week and SEC Pitcher of the Week in the same season since Tennessee's Scott Schroeffel in 1996, a span of 17 years, it was pretty evident that Keaton Steele could do it all, but did something that hadn't been done in nearly 12 years again in Mizzou's Sunday game at Vanderbilt. He became the first Tiger to hit in the three-hole while starting a game on the mound since May 12, 2001, when Ryan Stegall did so in an 8-5 win against Texas A&M.
But that's not all for Steele. He leads the Tigers in a pair of categories that don't often go hand-in-hand as he is team's leader in wins on the mound (four) and home runs at the plate (four). After a nationwide inquiry, it appears that Steele is the only player in a power conference to lead the team in pitching wins while batting from the cleanup spot. There were several two-way players at mid-majors that led their team in wins while hitting in the middle of the order, but Steele was the only regular cleanup hitter in a power conference to do so. Steele tossed his first career complete game in a win over Auburn last Sunday and then homered in the second game of the doubleheader.
Logan Pearson Shines in Leadoff Spot
Mizzou head coach Tim Jamieson made a change to his batting order prior to the Florida series as he moved Logan Pearson to the leadoff spot, and the move paid off. In fact, Pearson has reached base safely and scored to lead off five of the 11 games since he has been in the leadoff spot, including twice last weekend at Texas A&M. Since his move to the leadoff spot, Pearson leads the team in hitting at .333 while slugging a team-best .462 with a team-best .480 on-base percentage. In those 11 games, he has scored seven runs and driven in four more.
Pearson Also Very Good With RISP
Another element of Pearson's game that has flown under the radar has been his ability to hit with runners in scoring position. In fact, Pearson leads the team with a .355 clip with runners in scoring position and also leads the team in batting with runners on base a .328. Pearson is the only Tiger hitting better than .300 in each of the two categories.
Segovia Swinging a Hot Bat
After leading the team in a lot of offensive categories in the fall and being penciled in at shortstop as the best defensive infielder in the preseason, Shane Segovia had been fighting nagging injuries all season but he finally had his day last Sunday in a doubleheader against Auburn. In the two games, we went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored while playing great defense at third base. He followed that up with a 2-for-4 performance while driving in two and scoring another against SEMO Tuesday night. In fact, in his last six games, Segovia leads the team with a .421 batting average while notching a pair of doubles and a team-best six RBI. He is slugging .526 in that span and owns an OBP of .450.
Zastryzny Tallies Third Game With 10 or More Strikeouts
Junior Friday night starter Rob Zastryzny struck out 11 Auburn batters on April 26, just one off of his career-high. It was also the third time this season that Zastryzny has fanned at least 10 batters. Earlier this season he struck out 10 in back-to-back starts against San Francisco and South Carolina, making him the first Tiger to tally back-to-back games with 10 or more strikeouts since Kyle Gibson did so on March 20, 2009. He is also the first Tiger since Gibson in 2009 to have three games with 10-plus strikeouts in the same season.
Tigers Have Been in Every Game
Although the Tigers have a losing record at this point of the season, Mizzou has been in nearly every game and the numbers prove it. In fact, Mizzou has lost 17 games by three of fewer runs, including eight by just two runs and six by a single tally. All three of Mizzou's losses last weekend at Texas A&M were by three or fewer runs and two were by just a single run. In fact, the Tigers' last eight losses have all been by three or fewer runs.
Graves Gets A Win
Mizzou averaged eight runs per game in games started by freshman Alec Rash, as the Tigers have given him amazing run support. Unfortunately, it was not the same for Saturday starter Brett Graves, who remained winless heading into the Auburn despite pitching very well all season. But Graves finally got his first win of the season vs. Auburn on Sunday, going 5.0 innings and scattering just three hits and one unearned run, helping Mizzou to a 4-1 win. He was in line for his second win of the season against allowing no earned runs over 6.2 innings while striking out four and walking none at Texas A&M, but the Tiger defense committed four errors in the ninth to blow the lead, and Graves' second win.
Mizzou Playing Tough Schedule
This week, LSU, Vanderbilt and South Carolina are the top three SEC teams in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll at No. 2, No. 4 and No. 10, respectively. Mizzou joins Florida as the only teams in the SEC this season to play all three of those teams.
Hit Me Baby, One More Time
Heading into the weekend, the Tigers rank second in the SEC in hit batsmen as they have been hit 68 times this year. Kentucky leads the league with 75 this season, but has played four more games than Mizzou as the Tigers lead the league with an average of 1.68 hit batters per game. In SEC play, Mizzou ranks second in hit batters to only Kentucky with 32; Kentucky has 36.
Mizzou Still Limiting Doubles, Walks
Heading into the weekend, Mizzou is still doing a nice job of limiting its opponents' doubles and walks as Mizzou has allowed the fifth-fewest doubles (54) and the fourth-fewest walks (128) after allowing just four doubles and five walks to Texas A&M last weekend. In fact, in SEC play, Mizzou has allowed just 27 doubles in 24 games, the fourth-best mark in the conference - an impressive mark being as Mizzou has played three teams ranked in the top five in SEC play (No. 5 South Carolina, No. 2 LSU and No. 3 Vanderbilt). Vanderbilt, LSU and South Carolina rank 1-2-4 in the SEC in batting and rank 1-2-3 in doubles, making the Tigers' mark even more impressive.
Walsh is the Tigers' Ironman
It is no secret that as the Tigers' top lefty bullpen arm, Jake Walsh has been one of the Tigers' most used arms. In fact, Walsh has appeared in a team high 24 of 43 games this season and has been trotted out in 19 of the last 29 games. In the Sunday game vs. Florida, Walsh pitched a career-long 3.2 innings, allowing just two hits and one earned run (a solo, wind-aided homer off the top of the wall). He earned the win in the game and got the Tigers out of a huge jam in the fourth. He came into the game with runners on second and third with no outs and did not allow a run. The win was his first of the season and his first since April 10 of last season against Arkansas Little Rock.
Triple The Fun
In Mizzou's 8-2 win over Florida on April 21, the Tigers tallied three triples - Logan Pearson, Dane Opel and Dillon Everett each had a triple in the win. It marked the first time that Mizzou had three triples in a game since May 13, 2011, in an 11-1 win over Texas Tech. The three triples in that game are the most by any SEC team in a league game this season and are tied for the most among SEC teams in all games as Georgia tallied three triples in a March 1 game vs. UAB.
Lester With a Big Day
Mizzou freshman Josh Lester tallied a career-best four hits in the Tigers' 8-2 win over Florida on April 21. It was the first four-hit game by a Tiger since May 19, 2012, when Conner Mach tallied four hits against archrival Kansas. It is also the Tigers' first four-hit game by a freshman since CJ Jarvis tallied four hits in a Saturday win at Baylor on April 23, 2011.
Anderson Back on the Bump
Mizzou righty Eric Anderson made his second start of the season last Sunday at Texas A&M and first since being shut down for six weeks as he continues to recover Tommy John surgery last May. Anderson went 4.2 innings, allowing just two earned runs on six hits in the start. The 4.2 inning-start was his longest since March 9, 2012, the game in which he hurt his elbow last season. Anderson was offered six figures out of high school and was big-time pitching prospect and has been the Tigers' Friday night guy at times in his career, so if he continues to pitch well following his surgery, he could give Mizzou a huge boost during their push towards the postseason.
Newcomers Making Impact
So far this season, it has been the Tiger newcomers that have supplied the bulk of the Tiger stats, specifically at the plate. In fact, six of the 19 Tiger position players this year are newcomers and those six players have combined to take 53-percent of the teams at-bats, score 48-percent of the team's runs, drive in 61-percent of the team's RBIs and have 55-percent of the team's hits. In fact, Mizzou has 16 first-year players in its program this season. As many as six first-year players could be in Mizzou's starting lineup this weekend.
The impact of the newcomers has also been felt on the mound as eight of the 14 Tigers to see action on the mound this season are first-year players. In fact, those eight players have combined for 81 of the team's 133 appearances (61-percent) and 149.2 of the team's 314.1 innings this season (47-percent).
A Quick Look at Newcomers' Contributions
61% of RBIs 55% of team's hits 53% of team's at-bats 48% of team's run
91 of the team's 157 pitching appearances 167 of 371 innings pitched
16 first-year players including six junior college transfers
Kelly Continues to Produce
Junior catcher Dylan Kelly continues to be one of the Tigers' top offensive weapons this season. The lefty is hitting a team-best .307. Kelly hit his first career Division I homer at Tennessee, sending a three-run shot over the scoreboard in right field. He leads the team in batting (.307), doubles (eight) and is second in RBI (23). He has also played tremendous defense and has asserted himself as the No. 1 catcher after handling the Tiger pitching staff very well.
A new Era Begins
2013 marks the beginning of a new era for the Mizzou baseball program as it embarks upon its inaugural season as members of the Southeastern Conference. Widely considered as the premier conference in all of college baseball, Mizzou has fared well against SEC competition in the past, boasting an all-time record of 38-36-1 against the 12 schools that both Mizzou and Texas A&M will join this season. Mizzou played two series against SEC teams last year, taking two of three at Auburn while being swept at Arkansas in a two-game midweek series. As another note, Mizzou head coach Tim Jamieson is the only current SEC coach to win at least 600 games at his current school.
Four Tigers on Big League Rosters
With last Monday (April 1) being Opening Day for Major League Baseball, Tiger fans will see four former Tigers on active big league Opening Day rosters. The three that most have grown accustomed to - Ian Kinsler with the Texas Rangers, Aaron Crow with the Kansas City Royals and Max Scherzer with the Detroit Tigers - were joined by former Tiger Nick Tepesch, who joins Kinsler in Texas as the No. 5 starter for the Rangers this season. He just put together a great start for the Rangers in his first big league appearance, going 7.1 innings, striking out five while allowing just one earned run on four hits. He was the first Rangers pitcher to pitch into the eighth inning since John Dettmer in 1994, who coincidentally is also a Mizzou alum. The Tigers were close to having five players as former All-American Kyle Gibson made the active 40-man roster for the Minnesota Twins before being sent down to Triple A.
Recruiting Class Garners National Praise
the Mizzou baseball team transitions to the SEC this season, it will be bolstered by a 2012 recruiting that ranks 24th nationally according to Aaron Fitt at BaseballAmerica.com. The Tigers ranked one spot ahead of defending NCAA National Champion Arizona, the same team that eliminated Mizzou from the NCAA Tournament last year. The class, put together by the Mizzou coaching staff includes 19 student-athletes.
Rash Turns Down Big Money For Mizzou
One of the key contributors to the Tigers' recruiting class garnering national attention was the addition of Iowa-native Alec Rash. A second-round draft pick by the Philadelphia Phillies, Rash was the highest-drafted high school player to elect to go to school instead of beginning a major league career.
Little League World Series Connection
When Josh Lester and Ryan Phillips committed to play baseball at Mizzou, they were unaware that they had a unique connection. In fact, both players played in the 2006 Little League World Series and Lester's team won the tournament. Lester and Phillips never met in the series as the two were in different pools, but both remember watching the other play. Lester's team that won the Little League World Series kept that core group of players intact and went on to win three Georgia State Championships in high school.
Ian Kinsler Inducted into Mizzou Hall of Fame
Former Mizzou standout Ian Kinsler was inducted into the Mizzou Athletics Hall of Fame in February. Although he played only one season at Mizzou, Tiger Head Coach Tim Jamieson credits him with being a key figure in helping turn the program around, as he was instrumental in leading Mizzou back to the NCAA Tournament in 2003, after a six-year drought. That 2003 NCAA appearance started a string of seven-consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances for the Tiger program. After transferring to Mizzou from Arizona State and junior college, Kinsler batted .335 for Mizzou in 2003, and was third on the team with six home runs and 45 RBI. He also went 16-of-17 in stolen bases during the season, earning All-Big 12 honors.
Jamieson Signs Extension
The Mizzou Department of the Athletics and Athletics Director Mike Alden announced back in September that a two-year contract extension for Mizzou head baseball coach Tim Jamieson had been reached. The two-year deal will keep Jamieson, who is the school's longest current-tenured head coach, at Mizzou through the 2015 season.
Francis Howell Connection
For sophomores Brett Graves, Jake Ivory and Case Munson, the 2013 season will just be an extension of their high school careers where they played together for four seasons, winning a MSHSAA State Title for Francis Howell High School last season. The trio has been playing together for nearly 10 years and should give Mizzou a strong foundation moving forward. All three are playing a much bigger role this season.
Georgia on My Mind
With the Tigers moving to the SEC this season, three Tigers grew up in the heart of SEC country and chose to play their collegiate ball at Mizzou. Mike McGraw (Newnan, Ga.), Josh Lester (Columbus, Ga.) and Dylan Kelly (Roswell, Ga.) all call the Empire State their home.
Tigers Televised Through SEC DEal
With the Mizzou baseball program entering its inaugural season as a member of the Southeastern Conference, the program will see four of its games televised to a national audience as part of the SEC's television deal. The Tigers will appear on ESPNU twice while appearing on the SEC Network through Fox Sports for two additional games.
Televised SEC Games
March 30 vs. No. 10 LSU - 1 p.m. - Fox Sports - Cancelled
April 6 at Georgia - 7 p.m. - ESPNU - Loss, 6-5

James Baldwin Lecture - 2007-08
The annual James Baldwin Lecture celebrates the scholarship of a distinguished Princeton faculty member and provides an occasion for our intellectual community to reflect on the issue of race and American culture. The complexities of race in the United States demand the insightful work both of experts in the field and of all who share a genuine commitment to the well-being of our society. The Baldwin Lecture Series presents Princeton scholars, accomplished in their respective fields, with the opportunity to think carefully with others about race in America.
The Baldwin lectures also honor the extraordinary legacy of the late James Baldwin (1924-1987). One of America's most powerful cultural critics and essayists, Baldwin exemplified ways in which we might remain critically focused upon and engaged with the relationship of race to democracy in American society.
The lecture was delivered by Bonnie Bassler, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator and Squibb Professor of Molecular Biology, on April 22, 2008.
"So You Want to be A Doctor: Diversity and Scientific Research"
Description: Who are the role models for African Americans considering careers as scientific researchers? Who are the mentors? Right now, those mentors are rarely African Americans. I am among the generation of women scientists who trained at a time when there were few female scientific mentors. My mentor -- a white male -- taught me bacteriology, genetic methods, and how to think like a scientist. This training led to the work of my lab which is to show that bacteria, primitive single-celled organisms, communicate with chemical languages that allow them to synchronize their behavior and thereby act as enormous multi-cellular organisms. This process, called quorum sensing, enables bacteria to successfully infect and cause disease in humans. My lab group is now developing strategies to interfere with quorum sensing that may yield novel antibiotics. The members of my lab: undergraduates, graduate students, and post-docs; are the young experimental and idea engines that drive scientific progress. In this Baldwin Lecture, I will share my group's research on quorum sensing, some ideas about mentoring and role models, and how, in my role as Graduate Director, I have focused on the challenge of racial disparity in biological science education at Princeton. There is good news.

Renewable technology developer Wello's Penguin wave energy converter has been granted permission for full-scale deployment by Marine Scotland after the technology was verified by leading certification body Det Norske Veritas (DNV). The device was tested at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney.
The 0,5 MW Penguin device produces sustainable power through wave energy conversion. Penguin captures kinetic energy turning it into usable power while riding the waves. The 220 tonne vessel (excl. ballast), approximately 30 meters in length, is held in place by three wires anchored to the seabed below.
Penguin is designed to be simple, reliable and extremely durable in order to withstand the harsh conditions of the ocean environment. The outer structure is made of tough, recyclable materials. All operational parts are placed inside of its protective cover. The Penguin represents great value over lifetime as its very low maintenance. Overall it has a longer lifecycle than an average wind power plant.
Successful testing of Penguin at EMEC would mean the full scale generator is capable of deployment in larger wave energy parks worldwide.

Reflections from 2009-10Andrew McNall, Director of Parent Relations
Many of you will be expecting your student to return home in the next few weeks (or remember this time from the past). With the end of another academic year upon us, here's a review of some stories parents found interesting this year.
In the fall, we dedicated Ford Hall, Willamette's new LEED gold-certified academic building. This facility adds 42,000 square feet of space to the university and students quickly made it a popular building. Many students take advantage of the study spaces intentionally designed to facilitate group work and interaction with faculty.
The job market is on everyone's mind and this year we made huge advances in the services and resources we offer students for their career searches. We welcomed a new Director of Career Services, Jerry Houser, last fall. Jerry will be expanding the staff in the Career Center so students have greater access to personal assistance. Students will also find an enhanced suite of online tools to help with their career searches.
Parents engage with campus life in multiple ways. Serving as career advisors is the newest way for parents to be involved. We've been pleased that more than 300 people have signed up as Career Advisors through the online database. These volunteers, many parents among them, have graciously made themselves available as contacts for students as they explore their career interests.
Our most dedicated group of parent volunteers, the Parents Advisory Council, had several significant accomplishments this year. First, they organized a group of 54 parent volunteers to make welcome phone calls to freshmen parents outside Oregon. Many new parents were grateful for the calls and we're hopeful that this year we'll have 100 volunteers so we can finally attempt to call every incoming parent. If you'd like to volunteer, please send me an email.
The Parents Advisory Council also lead our Matching Gift Campaign, providing a pool of $6,000 to match first-time gifts to the Parents Fund. We were pleasantly surprised with the response of over 120 parents who have made a total of over $10,000 in new gifts so far!
I hope your student has rewarding plans for the summer or for their current endeavor after college. Look for the next edition of the Parents Corner in August as we begin the new school year. I look forward to renewing connections with you then.
