Rural Business Program
UTSA's Rural Business Program is a specialty center affiliated with the University of Texas San Antonio's South-West Texas Border Small Business Development Center Network, a 79-county service area that covers the Gulf Coast of Texas as well as South and West Texas. Rural communities in the network area have been principally agricultural based.
Today, rural communities are dealing with job loss, population loss, declining tax base, and loss of youth impacting the potential for future leadership and innovation.
Our focus is to help reverse these trends by providing rural communities and small to medium-sized businesses with technical assistance to help them grow, develop and create new jobs.
The Rural Business Program accomplishes these goals by:
- * acting as a consulting firm for small businesses and communities, providing services for free or at-cost. The program has 12 Rural Business Advisors in the field acting. It's these advisors, our "boots and heels on the ground," who work with communities to plan for a better future and implement these plans.
- * leveraging assets from within the Institute for Economic Development (iedtexas.org) and the university (utsa.edu), such as the colleges of Architecture and Public Policy.
- * working with strategic partners such as United States Department of Agriculture in our development approach, thereby reducing redundancy in efforts to maximize the programs' funding.
- How can we help your rural community grow, develop and create new jobs? Call us at 210 458-2046.

Children's digs reflect 'big-time' research mission
Scientists at Children's Hospital next week begin descending on their new digs in a research tower on the hospital's Lawrenceville campus.
It is the first part of a carefully orchestrated move that will culminate in April with the relocation of patients into the $625 million hospital.
The 10-story research building, on the lower edge of the Penn Avenue campus, will bring together hundreds of pediatric scientists jammed in a building half its size in Oakland.
"This is a dream," Dr. David H. Perlmutter, Children's scientific director, said during a recent tour. "This is a statement that we're going to do big-time research on child health issues. We're going to be leaders. We're going to do it in a big-time way."
Perlmutter exuded confidence and pride as he showed off the tower's laboratories -- long, open rooms that take up half the floor and give scientists expanded working areas.
"This is the most radical open lab you can design," he said, walking into a room of 24 bays that will each accommodate four laboratory workers. "It forces sharing of equipment, and that drives down the cost of research."
The open design of the laboratories -- which occupy six-and-a-half floors of the 300,000-square-foot building -- compels scientists to collaborate, something Perlmutter called a virtue of modern science. Altogether, there's enough space to eventually double the number of the center's 70 principal investigators.
The hospital's pediatric faculty continues to grow. With the University of Pittsburgh as academic partner, officials have recruited about 150 pediatrics faculty in the past five years, to bump up the total to 245 faculty members.
Those scientists, most of whom engage in clinical work in addition to research, bring in an unprecedented amount of federal grants from the National Institutes of Health. Since Perlmutter came to Children's in June 2001, NIH grants have jumped to $24 million from about $6 million. Such rapid growth means Children's ranks sixth in the country among pediatrics institutions getting the most federal awards.
"If you're doing great research, you're a place people want to come to," he said.
The quality of the facility's space matters, as well, said Dr. Raphael Hirsh, the hospital's chief of pediatric rheumatology.
"We're going from a building that was designed decades ago, that is not conducive to 21st-century research, to a state-of-the-art building with the latest technology," Hirsh said.
Hirsh said he is eager to move his lab with about a dozen researchers and workers who study the causes of arthritis in children. The illness, commonly misunderstood as an adult-only disease, affects 1 in 1,000 children, he said.
The building has been designed so that equipment such as refrigerators and floor centrifuges are in rooms just outside the laboratory space.
One of the building's floors will be occupied by the Richard King Mellon Foundation Institute for Pediatric Research, whose scientists will focus on cellular and molecular biology. The institute was created with a $23 million gift from the Richard King Mellon Foundation.
Unlike its current site, the research tower will be joined to the main hospital building. It will house the hospital's conference center, a detail well-received by researchers who welcome the accessibility and visibility among their clinical counterparts.
The move into the research tower is expected to take about six weeks, said Eric Hess, vice president and project executive. Officials then will gear up for the February move of about 1,000 faculty and administrative workers.
Patient care areas will start relocating in April, beginning with outpatient services. Hospitalized patients will begin moving May 2, Hess said.

Hi there
We're off to Thailand next month, just for a bit. We plan to take the train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, and we have been toying with the idea of making the trip by day.
The two of us love train journeys, but we can't be quite sure about which one to take- one that leaves early mornig and chugs through all to Chiang Mai or one that leaves after lunch and gets there in the wee hours of the next morning....Anyone here done either of these? Is this all-day trip worth it?

If you're going to be in a rush to get there, then take the overnight train. If you aren't in a hurry, I'd break the trip up into a couple of stages. There's a lot to see between Bangkok and Chiangmai.
The overnight sleepers are great, especially the 2nd. class, no a/c cars. Comfy, roomy, and fun.

i'm a big fan of the overnight train too, and always take the overnight train every chance i get. you'll still have the opportunity to see quite a bit of the countryside, particularly in the morning while approaching chiang mai, which in my opinion is the prettiest part of the journey as well.
you might consider taking the train up to ayutthaya, making a day of it there, then catching the overnight train from ayutthaya directly to chiang mai.
tilapia's suggestion about breaking up the trip if you are not in a hurry is excellent. you can stop off in ayutthaya, phitsanulok (for sukhothai), and anywhere else you choose.
whatever you decide, have a great trip. and if you go overnight, the second class no a/c is a solid and affordable choice. if you are up for a splurge, the first class sleeper compartment is fab. cheers.

thanks guys
tilapia, exacto: i wish we could really make stops en route. Am still thinking about it, but it looks we will end up giving both Ayutthaya and Sukothai a skip this time- we have 2 or 2.5 days in Bangkok as of now, and it might be getting too rushed.
So I guess Special Express Train # 13 from Bkk has sleeper berths right? It leaves at 7.30 and gets in at about 9.30am. What about the Express #51 that leaves at 10pm and gets in past noon?
[I KNOW I have read the details about which kinds of trains have berths and which don't, but I can't for the life of me remember where I read it!]
Thanks a lot!
marianwarren- just thinking of sitting at a train window makes me yearn for it...

thanks marian
beenthere before but had lost patience with it. I think it gives me an answer but I was hoping someone who has done it would know. The perfect train seems to be the 7.30pm one, but it doesnt have 2nd class non-aircon, which s what we want. Aircon will be such a drag!

Holladay Delivers One South Bend Project, Announces Another
It's all over the news: cyber security impacts your bottom line! Find out how to protect your real assets at cyberSecure. Join professionals from across businesses in New York on December 15-16. National event.
SOUTH BEND, IN—As it was dedicating a newly completed project here last week, Holladay Properties announced plans for another development in the area. The dedication was for Darby Row, a 35-bedroom student housing project that is 90% leased.
The success of that community led Holladay to develop a second student housing property, the Belfry. Located at the corner of Notre Dame Avenue and the new extension of Campeau Street, the project will house 36 students in six fully furnished two-bedroom apartments and twelve townhouse units with 24 bedrooms, also furnished. In addition to modern appliances including a washer/dryer, dishwasher, refrigerator and microwaves in every unit, the bedrooms will have private bathrooms, each living room will have 50" HDTVs and each residence will be ready for both wired and wireless Internet.
Construction is set to begin this month, with delivery in time for the 2013-2014 school year. Both the Belfry and Darby Row will serve students attending Notre Dame University. In line with the history of the area, the developers acquired two 350-pound church bells and will incorporate them into the building's façade.
FORTH WORTH, TX—A three-year-old student housing property serving students at Texas Christian University here has changed hands in a deal brokered by Colliers International's Student Housing Group. Shore to Shore Properties LLC bought Edge 55, an off-campus property at 3517 S. University Dr., with 165 beds in 55 units.
Colliers managing directors Dorothy Jackman and Travis Price spoke on behalf of the seller, Campus Village Centre LP, led by local investor/developer Steve Berry. Nick Fluellen, vice president of investments at Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services, negotiated on behalf of the Sausalito, CA-based buyer.
AUSTIN, TX—A Berkeley Point Capital team led by Bethesda, MD-based director Adam Randall structured a $52.3-million first mortgage loan to refinance West Campus II, a student housing community in this city's West Campus section. The fixed-rate debt, arranged under the Fannie Mae DUS Student Housing program, carries a 10-year term with full-term interest-only payments.
The class A community, consisting of 971 beds in 348 units, is sponsored by a real estate fund managed by Principal Real Estate Investors. Built in 2007-2008 on three non-contiguous parcels within a two-block radius, the property's components include Quarters Grayson House, Quarters Nueces House, and Quarters Karnes House and Parking Garage. West Campus II is part of the Quarters, a larger, two-phased community with 1,674 beds in seven buildings. It is located within walking distance of the University of Texas.

OSU football: Mike Gundy talks about the Yurcich hire on Sirius Radio interview
By Anthony Slater – firstname.lastname@example.com - @anthonyVslater
It's still strange to me that, six days after his early morning tweet revealed the news, Mike Gundy is still yet to publicly introduce new OSU offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich.
No press conference, no meet-and-greet with the local media, not even a conference call to discuss the out-of-the-blue hire.
For now, all we've had to deal with is the original tweet, his initial comments in the university's press release and a brief interview he conducted with Sirius Radio three days ago.
Here's all Gundy had to say about Yurcich, also mentioning that Yurcich was set to arrive in Stillwater this past Monday:
"I was looking for a quarterback coach that had a good relationship with his players and had good experience in the passing game, and also would come in and run our system," Gundy said in the interview with Sirius XM. "It's a unique job here, because I believe in what we do here. I'm not interested in changing plays, I'm not interested in changing terminology. We've got 67 guys on our offense, and they all know all our plays. There's no reason to change what we do.
"I would rather hire a coach that's willing to come in and learn our system and continue to teach it. That's what we get out of Mike. He's got a great pedigree. He played the quarterback position, had success as a quarterbacks coach, receivers coach and an offensive coordinator. I feel like he's a good fit for us."

Of all the creatures that call the Sonoran Desert home, probably none are more unexpected than amphibians. They have several adaptations that would seem to make desert life impossible – they lay their eggs in water, the young must live in water, and their skin is especially susceptible to drying out in an arid environment.
Because of this, amphibians spend most of the year underground, in burrows that they or other animals have dug. They are most likely to be seen after summer rains around temporary or permanent sources of water as they race to feed and reproduce.

The Second Annual
Camaro Fifth Gen Meet
- at -
Wally's Drive-in
Buckley, Washington. August 10th, 2013, 11:00
In 2012, I hosted an event: A gathering of Fifth Generation Camaros at Wally's Drive-In, in Buckley, Washington. It was a beautiful day and many cars showed up, including older generation Camaros, as well as other kinds of cars. But something unexpected happened: An amazing number of a statistically rare color, Synergy Green, showed up. Eight in all! Seven were present when group pictures were snapped. The photos soon circulated on the web, and were seen and commented on by people all around the world!
The response was so overwhelming, we've decided to do it again this year. Only this time, we plan to do it BIGGER! And this year, we wanted to make it mean something more than just a photo opportunity. So this year we will be gathering Synergy Green Camaros in support of Fisher House.
In case you're not familiar with Fisher House:
Fisher Houses provide "a home away from home," a warm and welcoming place, where families can stay and support their loved ones at no cost while the patient receives specialized medical care at a military or VA medical center. These homes allow families to be together to focus on what's most important - the healing process.
Here in the Puget Sound region of the Pacific Northwest, we live in close proximity to several installations and bases representing all branches of our military. Many of our friends and neighbors currently serve, including many of our own Camaro brethren. Some will even be serving overseas when this event is held, and unable to attend with us. But they will all be in our thoughts and prayers, just the same.
With such close ties to our service men and women, and a Fisher House facility right here in our area, Fisher House fulfills a need that we can all appreciate, and is more than worthy of our support.
We are asking that you help us in our goal to raise funds for Fisher House Foundation, by pledging any amount you prefer, for each Synergy Green Camaro that shows up and is photographed on August 10th, at Wally's Drive-In, Buckley, WA.
You are also welcome to just donate any amount of your choosing, leading up to, during, or after the event. Everything helps!
Photos of the final tally will be posted in several places, including Facebook, by Sunday the 11th of August.
If you have a Synergy Green Camaro, please come join us to raise the tally! If you have any other color Camaro, or any other car for that matter, ALL ARE WELCOME! Please come join us for a day of fun, cars, good food, and hopefully sun! There is lots of space for you to park and show off your ride, and to walk around and meet some friendly people and see some nice cars.
Wally's Drive-In
282 Washington HWY 410
Buckley, WA 98321
August 10, 2013 11:00 until "whenever"
Do more than say "thanks" - take action today by making a donation to Fisher House by clicking on the red "DONATE" button in the upper right corner of this page. You also have the option of choosing to donate through one of our team member's personal pages by clicking on a team member's name below.

The Secret to Effective E-Commerce Strategy and Keeping Customers Happy
Peeler says determination, conscientiousness and boldness are vital to an entrepreneur's success. "If a business professional can develop these qualities, they will be committed to critical tasks, driven by an attention to detail and bold enough to fight for the end user, client, co-worker or company," he says. "This is true for any professional, from a c-level employee to my nine-year-old son."
Ben Peterson | CEO, BambooHR
Ben Peterson's entrepreneurial footprint is large in Utah. Peterson founded MingleMatch in 2001, which was acquired by Spark Networks in 2005. He was also a co-founder of Utah Best, now known as Allegiance Technologies. Peterson's most recent success story is BambooHR, a global SaaS HR technology company. Launched in 2008, BambooHR has helped companies like Pinterest and Fitbit with their HR needs.
"I love the web and building software that reaches around the globe. So many opportunities exist online to build things that make life a better experience," he says.
Beyond his own companies, Peterson is avid about helping other entrepreneurs reach success. He serves on the incubator board for CEDO, is a member of BYU's Associate Entrepreneur Founders Organization and is an active angel investor.
A piece of advice he offers entrepreneurs is that a successful company starts with successful employees. "We believe work should be an outlet for greatness. When people are passionate about what they do, they can accomplish great things."
Shaun Ritchie | CEO, Ender Labs
Shaun Ritchie has been an entrepreneur for basically his entire life, but things really took off when he co-founded Neutron Interactive, an internet marketing and online lead generation company, right out of college in 2002. Together with his business partner, he's grown that company considerably over the last several years, earning spots on the Inc. 500 list two years in a row.
More recently, Ritchie co-founded a venture-backed enterprise software company, Ender Labs, which developed EventBoard, a conference room calendaring display and analytics solution to make businesses more efficient.
"I enjoy seeing the positive impact that a business can have on the lives of its employees, customers and the community," he says. "More specifically about our company, I love seeing the impact that EventBoard is having on our customers' businesses, and the global reach that we're having from a small startup in Utah."
Ritchie currently serves as the president of the Utah Chapter of Entrepreneurs Organization, a nonprofit organization that engages leading entrepreneurs to learn and grow. He also started the Utah competitions for the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards.
Phil Robinson | CEO, i.t.NOW
Phil Robinson started working at a computer repair shop in 1992 while still in high school. In 1997, he bought out that company and became its sole owner and only employee. Over the course of several years and a rebranding to i.t.NOW in 2005, Robinson has grown the company to 19 employees and $2.2 million annual gross income.
Because technology is always changing, Robinson has to keep his employees and data centers up to date on the latest processes. While this can be a challenge, Robinson knows there is a huge need for the services his company provides.
"People can no longer function without technology," he says. "They depend on it now more than ever, and I don't see that trend ever going the other way. As far as important jobs go, I put doctors first and IT guys second."
With his never-stop-improving attitude, Robinson realizes the importance of having a "willingness to get in the trenches, show employees that you care and help them understand how important what they do is."
Jason Rogers | Senior Vice President of Branch Administration, Mountain America Credit Union
Over the last decade, Jason Rogers has served in many capacities at Mountain America Credit Union. During his tenure in branch administration, Mountain America's branch network has expanded to include 76 branches operating in five states, making it the fifth largest credit union branch network in the United States.
In recognition of Rogers' many contributions to Mountain America and the many outstanding programs he's instituted, the credit union recently presented him with the highest company honor, The Summit Award, which goes to peak performers.
Rogers has been instrumental in helping to build and form constructive teams, improving member service, improving the training and coaching of the branch employees, developing employees and building upon the culture of the credit union.

Giancarlo Stanton, right, expressed anger on Twitter Tuesday night after the Miami Marlins dumped several of his high-priced teammates, including Jose Reyes , in a trade with the Toronto Blue Jays.
- Filed Under
Most of us are going to need a day or two to soak it in and wrap our heads around what exactly happened between the Blue Jays and Marlins yesterday.
Giancarlo Stanton needed no such time.
Miami's best remaining player sent a tweet just as news of the blockbuster trade was beginning to break. It was seven words long with three exclamation points, no periods and one crystal-clear opinion.
"Alright, I'm (ticked) off!!! Plain & Simple"
On Wednesday, the Marlins officially completed a massive salary dump, sending Josh Johnson, Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle and two others to the Blue Jays for seven young players, most of them unproven.
One roster was reconstructed, another was deconstructed and the resulting ripples will reach the rest of baseball throughout this winter and into next season.
The impact on Stanton was obvious. The impact on the Blue Jays was overwhelming.
The ramifications for everyone else begin with these three immediate realizations.
1. The American League East isn't so top-heavy these days.
The Orioles almost won the division this year, and the Red Sox finished in last place. The American League East isn't what it used to be, and clearly the Blue Jays have noticed.
I have no idea whether the Orioles can repeat what they did this season, but I'm also not sure the Red Sox can completely rebuild in a single year. I know the Rays are perpetually dealing with budget constraints, and the Yankees are feeling the weight of their previous spending.
Toronto's blockbuster proves that the lights are on and the monsters are gone.
There's nothing to be afraid of any more. The Rays broke through five years ago, the Orioles broke through this year and now the Blue Jays see an opportunity to take their turn.
2. Spending money guarantees nothing in this game.
Last winter, the Marlins were the big spenders, the most exciting team of the offseason.
Armed with a new stadium and renewed hope, the Marlins made splash after splash. They signed Heath Bell. Then they signed Jose Reyes. Then Mark Buehrle.
Now all three are gone. Bell in an early salary dump to the Diamondbacks, then Reyes and Buehrle in the Toronto megadeal.
Why? Because the Marlins' overhauled roster lost 93 games, finished in last place and decided to start over rather than patch the holes and give it another shot.
Player development. Roster construction. Individual performance. Injury prevention. Blind luck. These things also play a role in a team's success. Money can certainly help, but if it's spent the wrong way, it can do plenty of harm as well.
3. Alex Rodriguez will not be traded this winter.
Dumping salary is much easier in theory than in practice, and the Yankees' third baseman has the worst contract in sports. Finding a team to take him would be remarkable, and getting anything in return might be even more difficult.
The Marlins' salary dump showed just how difficult it is to move bad contracts: To make the deal work and get value in return, Miami had to include Johnson, an in-his-prime ace, which is the most valuable commodity in the sport.
Even if the Yankees did have a hope of trading Rodriguez, Miami was the one team most often floated in such speculation, and now it's clear that the Marlins are going the opposite direction.
Even if the Marlins want to take on a high-profile player like Rodriguez -- and clearly they have some payroll space available - is there any chance Rodriguez would waive his no-trade protection to play for a team that's in the process of a massive rebuilding effort?
At this point, it's hard to imagine anyone wanting to join Stanton's pity party.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission has issued travel advisories for motorists this weekend.
A single-lane traffic pattern will be in effect beginning at 7 p.m. Friday for eastbound traffic between the Harrisburg east and Reading interchanges.
At 7 p.m., construction crews will establish a single-lane pattern and close the right lane and shoulder for roadwork between mileposts 265.5 and 268.3 until noon Saturday. Motorists traveling the westbound lanes will encounter single-lane traffic patterns between the Reading and Lebanon-Lancaster interchanges from 7 p.m. Friday to 9 a.m. Saturday.
Construction crews will establish the single-lane pattern at 7 p.m. Friday for roadway and embankment work.
Motorists approaching the Lebanon-Lancaster exit should stay alert for slow moving construction vehicles or stopped traffic and obey posted speed limits through the construction-zone, according to the turnpike commission.

WASHINGTON, D.C.--The Senate's approval of David Satcher for U.S. Surgeon General here yesterday will fill a void in biomedical policy-making and reclaim the nation's bully pulpit for public health, vacant for the past 3 years. Satcher, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta since 1993, will hold a dual job as surgeon general and assistant secretary for health in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
A physician with a Ph.D. in cytogenetics, Satcher has spent much of his career in community health and served as president of historically black Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee, from 1982 to 1993. Some Senate Republicans objected to his appointment, citing his opposition to a ban on late-term abortions and his advocacy of needle exchange studies for reducing the spread of HIV. But many medical groups as well as some prominent Republicans backed Satcher, and he was confirmed 63 to 35. "Knowing the man, the doctor, the teacher, and the administrator, this nomination is a perfect fit," said Morehouse School of Medicine president Louis Sullivan, former HHS secretary.
Expected to be high on Satcher's agenda as surgeon general is legislation to promote education on smoking. As assistant health secretary, he will advise HHS Secretary Donna Shalala and oversee offices on AIDS and scientific misconduct.
Also under Satcher's purview is the Office on Women's Health--until recently headed by psychiatrist Susan Blumenthal, who left last fall after a controversy over her handling of breast cancer research issues. That job was filled last week by a Satcher colleague: public health expert Wanda Kaye Jones, who previously headed the CDC's women's health office.

Two people pleaded guilty to robbing the Papertown Dairy Bar and Restaurant in Spring Grove in April.
Megan Alexis McDaniel, 20, and Shane M. Schanfelter, 20, each entered guilty pleas to three counts of robbery, one for each employee who was present at the time of the armed stick-up.
One robbery victim was McDaniel's younger sister. McDaniel and Schanfelter both wore dark clothing and ski masks to hide their identities, police said.
According to Southwestern Regional Police reports, the pair entered the restaurant shortly before closing, ordering the employees to the floor and demanding money.
One armed with a rifle or shotgun, ordered an employee to crawl to a cabinet where the money was kept.
Police said at the time the robbers seemed familiar with the business's operations and later learned that McDaniel had worked at the restaurant, leaving about six months before the robbery.
McDaniel was sentenced to three to six years in prison on the robbery counts and a consecutive 12 months probation on unrelated counts of retail theft, driving under the influence and two drug paraphernalia charges.
Schanfelter awaits sentencing.
According to court documents, McDaniel is a known heroin user. In her two drug paraphernalia cases, police found her in possession of syringes.

BATON ROUGE - Swapping income taxes for sales taxes is just one of the possible forms that tax reform could take during this legislative session, says Barry Erwin, president of the Council for a Better Louisiana.
The legislature has "nibbled around the edges" of tax reform "for a number of years with some success, some failures," Erwin said Monday at the Press Club of Baton Rouge. ...

Dr Andrew van der Vlies, BA MA (Rhodes) MPhil DPhil (Oxford)
Reader in Global Anglophone Literature and Theory
email: email@example.com
I grew up in South Africa: I was born and raised in the coastal city of Port Elizabeth, in the Eastern Cape, and read English and Law as an undergraduate at Rhodes University in nearby Grahamstown, before completing an MA in American literature there. I came to the UK as a Commonwealth Scholar to read for the erstwhile MPhil in English Literature (1880-present) at Oxford University, where I subsequently wrote a DPhil dissertation, supervised by Peter D. McDonald, on the development of the idea of a 'South African' literary tradition, 1883-1979. This produced material that formed the basis of a book (I brought the case studies up to the present), published in 2007 as South African Textual Cultures. My first teaching post was a Lectureship at the University of Sheffield (2005-09). I joined Queen Mary in January 2010. I am a dual British and South African citizen and continue to have strong links to and family in South Africa, travelling, undertaking research, and giving papers there frequently.
My teaching is focused on contemporary and world literatures (though I occasionally teach on the Modernism module), with a focus on postcolonial studies and on gender and sexuality. Some modules are directly related to my research: I teach a third-year module on postapartheid South African literature; at MA level, depending on the year, I lead seminars on contemporary African literatures or on J. M. Coetzee.
Undergraduate teaching:
In the 2015-16 academic year, I am teaching on:
Postgraduate teaching:
In the 2015-16 academic year, I am teaching on:
Research interests:
- Contemporary world literatures in English
- South African literatures (esp. in English and Afrikaans), cultural studies, film, and visual art
- Postcolonial print cultures, book history, literature and globalization
- Queer theory, especially queer postcolonial studies
- Affect studies; hope, disappointment, nostalgia
Recent and ongoing research
My first book, South African Textual Cultures (Manchester UP, 2007; Wits UP, 2011), considered the construction of the idea of an anglophone 'South African' literature through a series of case studies of the publication and reception histories of authors from Olive Schreiner, Alan Paton, and Alex La Guma to J.M. Coetzee and Zakes Mda. Laura Chrisman called it 'a pathbreaking book' in SHARP News (18.4, August 2009) and the Journal of Southern African Studies reviewer described it as 'a model of scholarly rigour' that provided a model for 'similar projects in other postcolonial contexts' (35.2, June 2009). I continue to write about and facilitate work on African and South African print cultures. Wits University Press published my edited reader, Print, Text and Book Cultures in South Africa, in 2012. My current principal interest is in writing from South Africa during the past three decades, and I have published on writers including J.M. Coetzee (a short book—Continuum, 2010—on his 1999 novel Disgrace), Nadine Gordimer, and Zoë Wicomb. I have co-edited special issues of journals on South Africa and the global mediascape, and on Wicomb and transnationalism. Recent and forthcoming work includes contributions to the Oxford Companion to the Book (2010), Cambridge History of South African Literature (2012), an MLA essay collection on Coetzee (2014), and the Oxford History of the Novel in English (forthcoming). I have also published on queer politics and performance in contemporary South African art, and on the idea of the archive in post-apartheid literature. I spent the 2013-14 year on research leave funded by the Leverhulme Trust to complete a monograph about disappointment in contemporary South African literature. Current projects include co-edited collections of essays on literatures of 'transition' in South Africa, and on comedy and the grotesque in South African writing, as well as scholarly editions of work by two South African writers.

Will 3-D Make the Jump from Theater to Living Room?
Glasses-free 3-D television is still a long way from the market.
Television manufacturers and content producers started out the year pushing 3-D television hard, hoping to ride the wave of success enjoyed by the 3-D movie Avatar. Though glasses-free 3-D is still some ways away, manufacturers hope to entice consumers with a flurry of products that make the best of the difficulties with bringing 3-D content to the small screen.
Producing a 3-D television that doesn't require glasses is "impractical for the foreseeable future," says Peter Fannon, vice president of corporate and government affairs for Panasonic.
Demos featuring glasses-free 3-D television technology have yet to pan out into real products. Two years ago, Mitsubishi attracted attention by showing off glasses-free 3-D research technology, but the company has no products based on the work.
Fannon says that a key trouble with glasses-free 3-D is that it would significantly raise production costs. Most glasses-free TV displays use a lenticular lens, which gives off light at different angles–so that a different image reaches each eye. Such a display requires images of the same object to be captured from many different angles, forcing content producers to film and process the same scene from a dozen or more angles at a once. "That's a production cost no one can bear," he says. Lenticular lenses can also distort a picture, and viewers often have to watch from a specific angle.
Instead, 3-D technologies in use today employ glasses to control the images. The most common technology, used in movie theaters, is made by RealD, a company based in Beverly Hills, CA. This technology uses a special screen to reflect polarized light to the audience when images are projected onto it. The glasses then filter the light so that images are directed correctly to each eye.
RealD has made deals with many of the major manufacturers, including Sony, JVC, Samsung, Toshiba, Panasonic, and DirecTV, to use its format to deliver 3-D content to televisions. However, the majority of 3-D televisions use "active eyewear" to process 3-D content for each eye, unlike the passive glasses used in movie theaters.
Active glasses for 3-D are battery-operated, and they have lenses that rapidly shutter open and closed. The television display–often an LCD or plasma screen–works double-time, cramming in twice as many pictures so that a each eye sees a continuous, high-quality image.
A RealD spokesman explained that the special screen technology used in movie theaters, where the display does most of the work, would be too expensive if translated to 3-D TVs for consumers. Active glasses, on the other hand, are too expensive for movie theaters to hand out in volume, but work well for home users.
Panasonic's Fannon adds that polarized glasses work best in a dark environment, where a large screen fills the audience's entire field of vision. Active shutters are better suited to the home environment, he says.

ALBANY -- The wild ride ended so quietly that you could hear James Salter's three-foot putt hit the bottom of the cup amid a gallery and tension Sunday afternoon at Doublegate, where Salter survived a playoff to beat Josh Crews -- a 16-year-old kid with rock-hard nerves and a putter to match -- to win the 7th annual Albany Amateur Golf Championship.
It was a hold-your-breath moment for Salter, who led for two days before finding himself in a sudden death playoff, and then finally finding the title at the end of a simple three-footer for par on the par-4 10th hole to complete a day Salter described as "a roller coaster."
"It was kind of exhausting,'' said Salter of his up and down day and the pressure of the playoff. "It's the excitement. It wears on you. Yeah, that's probably more pressure than I've ever been under in a golf tournament, but it was fun.''
It was Crews who injected more drama into the Albany Amateur Golf Championship than anyone had seen in years by forcing a playoff with a 15-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole that knotted the score and stomachs of both golfers.
"He knew he had to make it, and he sure enough did,'' Salter said. "He played phenomenal golf on the back nine.''
Crews, a rising junior at Deerfield-Windsor, started the day one stroke behind Salter (73-76-149), but made the turn after nine holes on Sunday three strokes in back of the leader. Then Crews fired a 33 on the back nine with birdies at 13, 15 and a beauty at 18 with a putt he will never forget.
"I just knew I had to make it,'' said Crews of the crucial putt. "But I knew I could make it. I was confident I would make it.''
Salter, a 22-year-old Deerfield-Windsor product who just graduated from Auburn, congratulated Crews on the putt. And they both headed to the playoff hole at 149, smiling.
"I was glad he made it and forced a playoff,'' Salter said. "It made it exciting for both of us.''
They might still be playing if not for a small tree just to the right of the fairway on No. 10 -- the playoff hole. Crews hit his drive just to the right and the ball landed behind the tree that blocked his path to the green.
"I wanted to cut the ball back, slice it back to the green,'' said Crews, who hit a 5-iron too straight to do him any good. The ball sailed true, but didn't cut back and landed left, about 40 feet from the cup off the green. Crews bounced back with a gorgeous chip to within 10 feet of the cup.
"Josh got a tough break on his drive and got behind that tree,'' Salter said. "He didn't have any way to go at (the green). But (his second shot that landed off the green) didn't faze him. He came right back and hit a great shot. He had a great chip.''
But Crews' par putt slipped just past the lip, and all Salter needed was a small tap-in to par the hole to win his first Albany Amateur.
"You never want to see anybody lose it,'' said Salter, who tried to remember the only other playoff he had been in years ago.
"I was 10 or 11,'' he said. "I really can't remember it's been such a long time.''
He won't forget this one. Salter was playing in his fourth Albany Amateur and had finished second to Spencer Davis last year. He led after the first day, but said he couldn't do anything right early on Sunday.
"We were both playing brain dead on the front nine,'' said Salter, who shot a 40 for the first nine holes before shooting a 36 with a pair of birdies at 13 and 15 on the back. "I was all over the place early, but I knew I had to make some shots on the back nine.
"It was a roller coaster of emotions all day,'' he said. "Being down on the front nine, and then picking up my game and then having a playoff. It felt good to win it.''
Craig Taylor (76-78-154) was third and Ralph Chambless (82-73-155) was fourth. Davis (80-76-156) finished fifth.
There wasn't much drama in the women's championship division. There hasn't been since Kathryn Fowler took over the tournament three years ago when she was a senior at Southland Academy.
She won by 15 strokes that year. She won by 13 last year, and won by 13 strokes again this year.
Fowler, a red-shirt sophomore at Ole Miss who played her first year of golf for the Rebels this year, was fishing on a lake with her mother Saturday night between rounds of the tournament. They heard thunder and had to stop and come home without catching any fish.
That's about the only thing that stopped Fowler all weekend. She had a five-stroke lead after shooting a 76 at Stonebridge and fired a 72 on Sunday with birdies on three of the four par 5s.
Helen Kirbo, who won the tournament in 2004 and 2007, finished second at 161, and Debbie Devane was third at 162. Kelly Pearce, a former Sherwood star who won the tournament in 2008, was fourth at 164.
"I just really like this tournament,'' Fowler said. "It's relaxing to be at home. I get to sleep in my own bed at home and be around my family. Knowing the course, being at home and having my family makes a big difference. My parents and grandparents were here today.''
Fowler's mom and dad -- John and Beth -- make trips to see almost all of her college tournaments and even traveled to California this year. Her dad was her caddie three years ago when she won her first title here, but gave up the job.
"He says it stresses him out too much,'' Fowler said.
There wasn't much to be stressful about Sunday.
"I had a good, steady round,'' Fowler said. "There's a lot of doglegs on this course so you have to plan out your shots really well, and I did a good job on the par 5s.''
Fowler said she planned on coming back next year for a chance at a four-peat, and that would be fine with the tournament and the First Tee of Albany, which runs the event that's sponsored by U-Save-It Pharmacy.
Fowler is a product of First Tee, which has a mission statement that's as straight forward as a hole in one: "To improve the lives of young people by providing learning facilities and educational programs that promote character development and life-enhancing values through the game of golf.''
After she won, Fowler thanked First Tee for her beginnings. She embodied the whole idea of this tournament.
The youngest golfer to win Sunday was 14-year-old Tyler George, who won the men's first flight division, and Mike Cooper completed his own trifecta by winning the men's senior division with the best score in the tournament. He won the men's championship flight in 2007 and won the men's mid-am last year.
"Maybe when I'm 65 they will add a new super senior division,'' Cooper joked.
Cooper shot a 69 on Saturday and fired a 2-under 70 on Sunday to finish at 5-under 139. He was trailing last year's men's senior champ Joe Dorner after 14 holes Sunday but rallied late to win his third title. Dorner finished at 3-under 141 after shooting a 70 on Sunday. Tom Hall was third (70-74-144) and Bubba Burt, who won the title two years ago, was fourth at 156.
Rainey Owen (80-76-156) won the mid-am, beating Stan Mikle (80-79-159) by three strokes. Lester Tomlinson (84-78-162) was third, and Tim Dill (83-83-166) was fourth. Jim Dickey (77-80-157) won the senior men's first flight title.
Glenda Eubanks won the first senior women's division title by overtaking Fran Clinkscales (84-86-170), who led after the first round. Eubanks (85-82-167) thanked the tournament for adding the women's senior division this year. Becky Yager (88-85-173) was third and Sissy Smith (89-86-175) was fourth.

|The use of semen parameters to identify the subfertile male in the general population.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 15572878 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|AIMS: To present a structured review of the literature published on semen parameters and in vivo fertility potential and to establish fertility/subfertility thresholds for sperm morphology using Tygerberg strict criteria, sperm concentration, and sperm motility. METHOD: The published literature comparing fertile and subfertile populations between 1983 and 2002 was reviewed. RESULTS: A total of 265 articles were identified by the sourcing methodology, but only four articles provided data that could be tabulated and analyzed. Using receiver-operating characteristics curves, morphology proved to be the best predictor of subfertility in 2 of the 4 articles, with concentration and motility also showing good predictive power. The thresholds calculated ranged between 4 and 10% for morphology, between 13.5 x 10(6)/ml and 34 x 10(6)/ml for concentration, and between 32 and 52% for motility. A second set of much lower thresholds was calculated in three of the articles using either a 15 or 50% prevalence of subfertility in the population or the tenth percentile of the fertile population. The adjusted thresholds were between 3 and 5% for morphology, between 9 x 10(6)/ml and 20 x 10(6)/ml for concentration, and between 20 and 30% for motility. CONCLUSIONS: Because these lower thresholds have a much higher positive predictive value, we suggest that thresholds of <5% normal sperm morphology, a concentration <15 x 10(6)/ml, and a motility <30% should be used to identify the subfertile male. The lower threshold for morphology also fits in vitro fertilization and intrauterine insemination data calculated previously. Using the parameters in combination increases the clinical value of semen analysis.
