ANN ARBOR -- There was never really any question that John Beilein knew how to coach.
When Michigan hired Beilein away from West Virginia in 2007, he came with a reputation as a brilliant basketball mind that had seen success at every level he'd stopped at.
But he ran a funky system that was difficult for elite-level recruits to grasp and his teams were filled with finesse players who could hit 3-pointers, not thoroughbreds who could hit the glass and finish above the rim.
Would recruits ever buy into his concepts?
Would his teams ever be tough enough to hang with the big boys?
Would he ever get Michigan back to where its fanbase believed it should be?
When Beilein received a contract extension from Michigan in 2010, his record as head coach of the Wolverines was 39-43, and all of those questions remained.
Since that time, though, Beilein -- who recorded his 100th win at Michigan on Saturday against Arkansas -- has gone 61-34. And though he's still looking for his first trip beyond the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament at Michigan, almost all of those early doubts seem to have been erased.
Together with new assistants LaVall Jordan, Bacari Alexander and Jeff Meyer (who was promoted to full-time in 2010), Beilein has recruited major talent to Ann Arbor.
Glenn Robinson III was a five-star prospect, Mitch McGary and Nik Stauskas were four-star talents. And together, all three are averaging 31.6 points and 14.8 rebounds per game.
Next season? More of the same. Zak Irvin, Derrick Walton and Mark Donnal are all top-100 four-star prospects, and all are expected to have an impact right away.
As for hanging with the big boys? He's done that, too.
Beilein didn't have major beef or depth in his lineup last season, but didn't need it. He still guided the Wolverines to a share of their first Big Ten title since 1986, an accomplishment that should be seen as a massive feather in his 35-year coaching cap.
This year? Michigan has beef. It has depth. It has an All-American point guard and enough talent to just roll the basketballs out and play.
Beilein has spent most of his career on the sidelines sweating out virtually every trip down the floor. This year, his talent and depth have allowed him to keep his trademark shirt sleeves unrolled a lot longer than normal.
The final part's the tricky one, though.
Michigan hasn't advanced past the Round of 32 under Beilein, and though it won a share of the conference last season, it was slaughtered by Ohio State in the league tournament before bowing out to upstart Ohio a week later.
This season, Michigan's gotten off to its best start (9-0) since its 1988-89 national championship season. Crisler Center has been filled almost every night, and the product on the floor features plenty of talent that will one day perform on the next level.
Nothing's set in stone, but through nine games, Michigan appears to have a roster that's more than capable of making a Final Four run.
Six years and 100 wins ago, many wondered if Beilein would ever be able to get Michigan back into the NCAA Tournament.
Now, those same people are wondering if he can get Michigan to win it.
Michigan's 2012-13 marathon is far from over, and its greatest tests are all still in front of it. There are still questions to be answered.
But when it comes to the big picture and Beilein, there's little doubt. He scored 100 wins the hard way, and seems to have set himself up to score the next 100 a lot easier.
Beilein's put Michigan back on the college basketball map.
No question about it.

Pittsburgh Youth Study
The Pittsburgh Youth Studys objective was to investigate the relationship of teen fatherhood to delinquency, both preceding fatherhood and for 1 year after the birth of the child. From 1988 to 1993, the Pittsburgh researchers followed a sample of 506 inner-city adolescent males from the public schools (for more details, see "Pittsburgh Study: Sample and Methodology"). Through regular interviews with participants, parents, teachers, and officials, researchers collected data on a large number of variables such as race or ethnicity, early sexual activity, school achievement and attachment, peer relationships, neighborhood, family, mothers level of education, participants attitudes, individual characteristics, drug use, and delinquency.
The study sought to discover how much similarity exists between risk factors associated with delinquency and those associated with young fatherhood: that is, which risk factors are associated with both and which factors are uniquely associated with one or the other outcome? In addition to investigating the relationship between prior delinquency and teen fatherhood, the researchers also compared young fathers with matched controls to look at the impact of fatherhood on subsequent delinquency: Did delinquency diminish after a boy became a teen father, did it stay at the same level, or did it increase?
The Pittsburgh researchers report that 12 percent of their sample (62 teenagers) became fathers before their 19th birthdays (as the Pittsburgh study defines teen fatherhood). These 62 teenagers fathered a total of 82 children. Fatherhood occurred by age 14 in the first instance, with the rate rising steadily to age 18.
In the Pittsburgh study, while early drug use was not a significant risk factor for teenage fatherhood, delinquency was. Figure 4 shows the relationship between teen fatherhood and delinquency and drug use in the Pittsburgh sample. The proportion of high-frequency drug users who became teen fathers (16 percent) was only slightly higher than the proportion among nonusers or low-users (12 percent). However, the proportion of high-rate delinquents who became fathers (19 percent) was significantly higher than that of nondelinquents or low-rate delinquents (9 percent). Young fathers were more than twice as likely to be delinquent as nonfathers.
The Pittsburgh study found several other significant risk factors for teen fatherhood, including cruelty to people, being raised in a family on welfare, and drug exposure (as distinguished from drug use; drug exposure refers to having been offered drugs or having witnessed a drug deal, and is a possible index to a boys neighborhood or peers). When no other factors were taken into account (i.e., a bivariate analysis was used), drug exposure had the highest correlation with teen fatherhood of any factor apart from race. Other significant risk factors in the Pittsburgh study that were consonant with the Rochester studys findings include race, early sexual activity, low level of mothers education, and low school achievement. When the researchers controlled for other factors (employing a multi-variate analysis), being older than other boys of the same grade in school was the strongest predictor of teen fatherhood in the Pittsburgh study.
In analyzing the variables related to both teen fatherhood and delinquency, the Pittsburgh researchers found that the risk factors for teen fatherhood are a subset of the risk factors for delinquency. That is, teenage fathers demonstrate the same characteristics as young men who engage in delinquent acts; in every instance where a variable was significantly related to young fatherhood, it was also related to delinquency. On the other hand, not every factor that is predictive of delinquency predicts teen fatherhood.
The Pittsburgh study also investigated the impact of teen fatherhood on subsequent delinquency to discover whether fatherhood might reduce delinquent acts. In fact, they found the reverse was true. For this second part of the Pittsburgh study, the 62 young fathers in the sample were matched with 62 nonfathers (matched controls) of similar age, race, and neighborhood. The findings are shown in table 1. A review of their records prior to becoming fathers indicates that the future young fathers were no more likely than their matched controls to be in the serious delinquent group. However, over the next 4 years, they were 2.5 times more likely than their controls to have qualified as "varied serious delinquents" (for definition, see "Pittsburgh Study: Sample and Methodology"). Fathering a child is associated with an even great-er increase in delinquent behavior. In the same year that these young men reported becoming fathers, the odds of their committing varied serious delinquent acts jumped (odds ratio=7.5, meaning they were 7.5 times more likely than nonfathers to commit serious delinquent acts). In the year after they became fathers, these odds remained relatively high (odds ratio=4.2).
According to the Pittsburgh study, "young fathers tended to be troubled young men who were significantly more likely than their matched controls to have engaged in varied serious acts of delinquency in the year of fatherhood and in the year after" (Stouthamer-Loeber and Wei, 1998:64). Young fathers tended to commit more covert delinquent acts than violent offenses. For example, in the year that they became fathers, young fathers were three times more likely than nonfathers to have been involved in car theft or burglary, while there was no difference between the two groups in the likelihood of their committing violent offenses.
On a number of other measures of problem behavior, according to the Pittsburgh study, young fathers appeared considerably worse off than youth in the control group. They were more likely than nonfathers to have had a court petition alleging delinquency (72 percent vs. 41 percent), to be drinking alcohol frequently (39 percent vs. 19 percent), to be involved in drug dealing (41 percent vs. 21 percent), or to have dropped out of school (60 percent vs. 37 percent).
The hopeful hypothesis that teen fatherhood might encourage young males to become more responsible and to assume the tasks of helping to establish and support a family is not borne out by this study. Instead, becoming a father appears to exacerbate an already troubled and stressful life for these young men, at least during the first year of fatherhood.

COLUMBIANA - A fire levy approved by voters in 2010 will pay for a new ladder truck for the department, and Fire Chief Rick Garrity has found the truck they need.
Garrity approached city officials last week to tell them about the truck that would be manufactured by Pennsylvania-based KME. He said the department has been saving money over the last two years and has enough for a $250,000 down payment on the total estimated cost of $585,432.
"We started talking about this back in 2005, identifying the need for the ladder truck. In 2010 we put a levy on and one of the major selling points of the levy was that we would purchase a ladder truck," he said.
The five-year levy brings in about $240,000 a year for the department and Garrity said that since it was approved he has applied for two federal funding grants, but in both cases the request was "kicked out in the first round."
He explained the federal government is cutting back grants every few years and doesn't expect the money to go much further. If awarded, it would have covered roughly 90 to 95 percent of the cost, he said.
With that off the table the department can still purchase the truck, however.
Finance Director Mike Harold told council the department has the money available to take out a loan for the truck while maintaining a "sufficient budget."
He suggested a $250,000 down payment and three-year loan to pay for the truck, but presented other options to council as well. He said that as of this week the fire fund, which has built up over the last couple of years, was at $570,000.
The department operates on roughly $140,000 and brings in little more than $316,000 in revenue annually, he said.
"We have been saving the last few years. We really never increased our budget at all since we got the levy approved," Garrity said.
He also said the goal is to have the all new red and black truck paid for by the end of the levy, which is up in 2015. He noted that since the truck is on a state term schedule the department will get a fair price.
State term means the bidding is handled by the state on the department's behalf.
Garrity said the truck the department wants has a 79-foot-tall, 26-inch-wide steel ladder, which is the largest in the industry and features the highest side rails in the industry.
He added that a stokes basket can be slid down if needed and that steel was chosen over aluminum because of its durability in heat.
"When you're up there 79 feet in the air it's scary and you want the best you can get. You don't get a lot flex in this truck, it's a very well built piece of equipment The goal is to keep our men off the roof because when (the roofs) fail they fail big time," he said.
The truck would carry 400 gallons of water - 200 more than most ladder trucks - and will fit inside the fire station on West Friend Street, he added.
Councilman James King asked if the large truck would be able to fit down some of the smaller side streets or navigate some of the turn-arounds.
Garrity said it shouldn't be a problem and that if it couldn't turn around they would have to back it down the street, which they already do with the trucks they have.
"I think we can probably get to about everything in Columbiana with this truck," Garrity said.
Councilman Bob Bieshelt asked if the department could save up more money and pay for the truck with cash as opposed to taking out a loan, but Garrity responded that in the future a new truck would be more expensive and interest rates could be higher.
Councilman Bryan Blakeman suggested the department make more than one loan payment a year to scale down the interest rate faster.
Council did not take action on Garrity's proposal during its meeting.

|Last year M and I brought Dad to his first Yankees/Red Sox game
Dear Dad,
Happy birthday! I know I'm a day late on this post, but beter late than never, right? Right. Anyways, thanks for cooking your own birthday dinner last night. It's always guaranteed to be delicious when you cook. I can't believe another year has passed since your birthday last year though. So much has changed, and yet so much has stayed the same. I definitely miss living at home though and watching football and hockey together. But I'm glad you've been so supportive of every move, literally, that I've made over the last year. Having you to call or talk to when I need it most is something that's irreplaceable. So I hope you know how much I appreciate you. Happy birthday again, Dad! I love you lots!

ADL has received complaints about an editorial cartoon, "Worshipping Their God" by Michael Ramirez of the Los Angeles Times, which portrayed two men worshipping at a wall labeled "hate." The complaints are based on an e-mail message that has recently circulated on the Internet. This e-mail message contains information long outdated.
This Ramirez cartoon appeared in the Times and in other newspapers in October of 2000. The cartoon depicted a Jew and an Arab (not two Jews) praying before a wall labeled "Hate." The wall was not intended to be the Western Wall, though many in the Jewish community assumed it was.
Although the subject of controversy at the time, the matter has long since been put to rest.
Shortly after the cartoon appeared, ADL produced a survey of editorial cartoons, which explained the incident as follows:
The Ramirez cartoon, "Worshipping Their God," which appeared in the Los Angeles Times on Oct. 6, 2000 after surfacing on the Times Internet site three days earlier, was syndicated to newspapers across the country and also widely disseminated across the Internet. After a barrage of complaints, including from major Arab and Jewish organizations, that the cartoon was unfair and insensitive, the cartoonist himself issued a public response: "There seems to be a misperception by some that my cartoon depicts the Western Wall and that I blamed the Israelis solely for the hatred and violence in the Middle East. Actually, the metaphor depicts BOTH Israelis AND Palestinians worshipping "hate."
The Los Angeles Times published a letter from ADL criticizing the cartoon the following day. This was followed on October 15 by a lengthy commentary by the newspaper's ombudsman, Times Associate Editor Narda Zacchino, who described the public outcry as "unprecedented." She stated: "Obviously, the cartoon failed to communicate his (Ramirez's) message. In addition, virtually no one saw the image as anything but the Western Wall, the use of which in the cartoon was careless and insensitive."

My Kids are Introverts But They Dance and SingCody
The Frozen wave hit this home before I knew how much of an impact that movie was going to have on kids and adults everywhere. Addie and Casey went to Frozen on its opening night and then about a week later Addie and Casey loaded up Vivi and headed to Frozen again. If I remember right, Addie and Casey went to Frozen at least a couple more times after that. The kids have even been to the dollar theater to watch Frozen even after we bought the movie when it became available.
The first day the Frozen Soundtrack was available for purchase Casey downloaded it on Itunes and it has become a staple in our house ever since. Those two kids sing Frozen songs as if there is nothing else going on the in the world. Addie can sing each song word for word without any mistakes. It's interesting to listen to Addie sing the song where Anna and Hans sing about their love, because Addie refuses to sing any of the words Hans sings. Her timing is impeccable as she jumps in as Anna just as Hans finishes his words.
Addie and Vivi have always loved to sing and dance in our house. When Vivi was maybe 6 months old she used to roll on the ground to the beat of the Black Keys. In fact, even now when the Black Keys comes on the radio Vivi gets excited and starts bouncing her shoulders to the beat.
Our car is filled with girls voices from the back seats as they sing the words to each song that comes on the radio. And when they're inside they both dance to the music as if nobody is watching.
I'm an introvert. Actually, I'm probably a bit of an extreme introvert. I don't like social gatherings. I dread small talk. Dancing isn't something my mind will let me do and singing is unfathomable. I'm not a singer and I don't know how to dance, but my introverted personality won't let me even try.
Addie and Vivi are very similar to me. My kids are introverts and that worries me. It's not that there is anything wrong with introverts. I certainly don't think there is anything wrong with me, but being an introvert has given me certain challenges that I loathe and I don't want my kids to loathe those same challenges. I want them to learn to cope with their introverted-ness and avoid the social anxiety and fear of chit chat that I suffer from. I want them to be able to go to their high school proms not worrying about whether they will be brave enough to dance, and if they want to learn how to sing I want them to be able to practice in front of people.
Although my kids' dance moves and tones as they sing aren't perfect, Casey and I have always been very careful not to make a face or acknowledge any kind of a mistake because we don't want to scare our kids away from their dancing and singing. Being comfortable enough to let themselves go in this environment could help them later on down the road so that they will be comfortable in other environments as well. Hopefully it will give them an opportunity to develop their personalities in a way I was never able to do.

Paul Allen
Rich and Reclusive, Microsoft's Other Cofounder Goes Hollywood
Allen may speak softly, but these days he wields a stick almost as big as that of his old buddy Bill Gates, with whom he founded Microsoft 20 years ago, jump-starting the Information Age. Since the dynamic duo split amicably in 1983, the driven, market-savvy Gates has dominated desktop computing as Microsoft's chairman, while Allen has invested $1.2 billion of his $4 billion net worth in more than 20 information-and entertainment-related companies. His goal is to bring closer what he calls the Wired World, in which a "core convergence" of computers, online services and video will turn homes into multimedia nerve centers. To help do that, Allen paid $500 million last March for an 18 percent share of Dream Works SKG, the new entertainment company founded by Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen. "At some point there is so much money, what do you do with it all?" he told the Los Angeles Times last month before answering his own question: "Deals like Dream Works, where you can get involved with other people to do exciting, new, creative things."
The big deal has turned the spotlight on Allen, whose shyness and obsession with privacy—he rarely gives interviews—have made him something of an enigma. Several CEOs of the firms he bankrolls have never met Allen. Yet colleagues at his office in Bellevue, outside Seattle, describe him as an affable soul who shows up daily in his black leather jacket. A pop-culture maven, he waxes rhapsodic over Jimi Hendrix and flies business associates and old friends on his Challenger 601 jet to home games of the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers, which he owns. A frequent guest on the plane is Allen's widowed mother, Faye, 73, who has her own house on his $30 million Seattle-area estate. "Paul," says Paul Andrews, who wrote the 1993 biography Gates, "is the nicest billionaire you'll never meet."
Growing up in Wedgwood, Allen was one of those brainy, bespectacled boys who holstered his pens in a pocket protector and always had his nose in a book. His parents, Kenneth and Faye, both librarians at the University of Washington, made sure that Paul and his younger sister, Jody got a full dose of culture by constantly taking them to plays, museums and concerts. But what really fired Allen's imagination were books, which his mother began reading to him when he was only 3 months old. "Stories are so much a part of Paul's life," says Faye, who recalls that her son's favorites were Swiss Family Robinson and the adventures of Tom Swift, the popular boy inventor. "Tom Swift was very futuristic—he went to outer space, and there were rockets and submarines and all kinds of machines. He was a role model for Paul."
At Seattle's exclusive Lakeside School, Allen befriended another diehard, sci-fi fan, Bill Gates. In 1967, when the math department brought in a teletype connected to an off-campus mainframe computer, the two friends started dodging homework and classes—anything to clear more time for hacking at the keyboard. By 1974, Allen had dropped out of Washington State University and was working as a programmer for Honeywell in Boston, across the river from Harvard, where Gates was a sophomore.
That December, Allen had his epiphany. On his way to visit Gates, he saw a Popular Electronics cover on the Altair 8800, one of the first microcomputers sold to the public. What was needed, Allen realized, was software. By the time he reached Gates's dorm, he had decided that they should write a version of the programming language BASIC that would be the soul of the new machine. Within the next two months they sold their product to Altair's manufacturer for $3,000 plus royalties and formed the partnership they called Microsoft.
They returned to Seattle in 1978 and business boomed ($32 million in annual sales by 1982), thanks in part to the partners' complementary styles. "I'm more aggressive and crazily competitive...running the business day to day," Gates once said, "while Paul keeps us out front in research and development." (Company veterans credit Allen for brainstorming and championing their biggest hits, including MS-DOS, Windows and Microsoft Word.)
Then came Allen's second turning point. While in Paris on business in September 1982, he noticed lumps on his neck. He flew home, where he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease and immediately began the radiation treatment that would save him. "Building Microsoft, Paul felt invincible," says Ann Winblad, a California venture capitalist who became friends with Allen while dating Gates in the mid-'80s. "But the Hodgkin's was motivation for him to say, 'Gee, there are other things I'd like to do.' " In March 1983, Allen quit Microsoft, though he retained a 13 percent share of the company, now worth $3.9 billion. By November, Allen had begun a two-year jaunt through Europe, scuba diving, yachting and skiing.
He came back to the semi-wired world in 1985, when he started his first company on his own, the multimedia software-maker Asymetrix. Though Asymetrix reportedly has lost $50 million, that hasn't stopped Allen from plunging into other investments—spending $100 million to launch Interval Research, his own private think tank, $300 million for 80 percent of Ticket master and $30 million for 25 percent of America Online (which he sold last fall at a $28.5 million profit).
Associates are divided about Allen's management style. "He's very open-minded to other people's ideas," says John Dewan, CEO of the sports information firm STATS Inc., in which Allen has a minority share. "He isn't oriented toward immediate results." The former hierarchy at the Portland Trail Blazers, which Allen purchased in 1988, thinks otherwise. Last year Allen conducted a purge, firing coach Rick Adelman, who had taken the Blazers to two NBA finals, and team doctor Robert Cook, among others. Some observers believe that Allen acted with the impulsiveness of a typical fan. But Cook—echoing the feelings of many people in the organization who feel the atmosphere has turned cold and ruthless—says, "Allen is irresponsible and insensitive. He is so insulated by his wealth, it's like he's from another planet."
Allen's personal solar system is centered on Mercer Island, on Seattle's Lake Washington, where he lives in a six-acre compound with a pool, an art gallery, a movie theater, a tennis court, a garage for his Lamborghini and four Ferraris, and a $6 million sports complex replete with basketball court, where he plays pickup with pals. Allen unwinds by jamming with his five-man band, the Threads, in his private studio in downtown Seattle—and by forging ahead with plans to build a $60 million Jimi Hendrix museum to display a 6,000-piece collection of guitars, gold records and other Hendrix memorabilia. He also spends a lot of time with his sister Jody Patton, 37, a close aide, and her sons Duncan, 5, and Gardner, 1. Since breaking up with a longtime girlfriend last year, Allen, who would like to raise a family, has been dating occasionally.
Allen's primary passion, though, is the digital revolution—as evidenced by his throwing in with Dream Works, where he will sit on the board and offer advice on computer technology and designing interactive films. Just how he and the Dream team will interact—the company will have to be worth $8 billion by the year 2000 for Allen to make a reasonable profit—remains to be seen. Whatever the outcome, it is virtually certain Allen will keep taking the plunge. The union of video, computer and online technology is a "sea change," he has said. "You try to ride the incredible wave that's coming."

WARREN - Don Kacmar didn't grow up with dreams of becoming a senior living administrator, but that's the way it worked out, he said. And becoming the executive director of Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Retirement Services was equally serendipitous.
"On a whim, I sent them a resume," he reflected recently. "And here I am."
For 30 years, Kacmar has overseen the growth of the organization from a single facility in Niles to five locations in Mahoning and Trumbull counties and about 500 employees, and now he is working his way to his own retirement. Kacmar will help oversee the transition of Rich Limongi, executive director designee, into his role as executive director before officially retiring at the end of 2014.
Last week, Limongi said that Kacmar's guidance will help the staff to continue even in his absence. Limongi completed his administrator in training program under Kacmar in 1988. He has worked closely with Kacmar in a full-time role since 1991.
"He's more than a boss. He's a mentor," Limongi said. "He challenges people to go above and beyond."
Kacmar could lean on his seniority to get things done, Limongi said, but instead he takes the time to consider all angles and input from the people around him.
"A good leader is also a good listener," he said.
He said it was Kacmar's vision and ability to foresee the needs of the future that made Shepherd of the Valley successful for three decades. But mostly, Limongi said Kacmar and the rest of the staff understand one major principle of caring for retired individuals.
"We have to respect their home. This is their place," he said.
Kacmar, a native of Uniontown, Pa., received his Bachelor's degree from Temple University, where he attended on an NCAA football scholarship.
During his tenure as Executive Director, Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Retirement Services, Inc. has grown not only in size and number of locations, but also has seen it add a home health agency, At Home With Shepherd, serving more than 750 elderly residents and clients and employing nearly 500 people. He also spearheaded, along with Lutheran Social Services of Northern Ohio and St. Luke Lutheran Community, the Manor at Howland Glen building project which created a 50-unit income-adjusted apartment community In Howland, Ohio, for persons age 62 or older.
During his tenure, Kacmar also served as the Chief Executive Officer of Shepherd's Foundation, a separate not-for-profit corporation charged with raising benevolent funds to support Shepherd of the Valley's residents and programs.
During his decades at Shepherd of the Valley, Kacmar said he has seen the industry evolve along with the needs of the elderly.
"It was more like a rest home. People would come and a lot of people would live a lot of their lives, way back when, in retirement," he said.
Technology has allowed facilities like Shepherd of the Valley to approach senior care with new methods, allowing people to better enjoy their golden years.
Placing a catheter used to be "big deal," he said, for example, but now it's a "non-issue."
"We rehab people and send them home. We've sent hundreds of people home this year already," he said. "That's where everybody wants to be."
He said technological advances will continue to keep the elderly at home for longer periods, creating some challenges for his industry.
"You don't need as many nursing beds today as you did way back when, because they're turning over quicker," he said. "It's a good challenge to have."
Rick Mattix, associate director, has worked with Kacmar for 23 years. During that time he has been especially impressed with Kacmar's ability to work through complicated regulatory issues and provide quality services.
"At one point in time we were the most regulated industry except nuclear energy," he said. "And still (Kacmar) was able to anticipate the community's needs way back when."
Kacmar has inspired his colleagues to carry on his legacy.
"He's laid the foundation for us to enjoy another 40 years," he said.
Kacmar brushed aside the praise of his colleagues, instead preferring to view his career as a decades-long collaboration.
"I was fortunate enough to be at the right place at the right time with the right people. We've made things work for 30 years," Kacmar said.

Proving perennial grass can be greener
The benefits of producing biofuel from perennial grasses make them a very attractive alternative source of energy. An EU-funded project is working to create improved varieties and identify the optimal environments for production of different grass species to make perennial grasses even more sought after.
Perennial crops require less intensive farming practices and less energy to grow than traditional biofuel crops which not only need to be planted each year, but typically require more fertiliser, herbicides and pesticides. This means less chemical residue ends up in the soil and less CO2 is produced.
The FP7-funded 'Enhancing biomass production from marginal lands with perennial grasses' (GrassMargins) project has been set up with the objective of developing and testing new perennial grass strains which can be used in biofuel production on marginal land.
"Perennial grasses have been extensively used in Europe and the US but mainly in regard to combustion processes," says Dr Susanne Barth, the GrassMargins project coordinator. "We are looking at selecting and breeding new varieties suited for use on marginal land, and identifying optimal growing environments to make them more economically viable as biofuel raw materials."
While many grasses have evolved naturally to survive in flood and drought conditions, GrassMargins is identifying novel varieties of grasses which show even higher and more stable levels of productivity and increased stress tolerance, thereby reducing the risk of crop failure.
The objective is to select and breed new varieties especially for growth in marginal habitats that are less suited to conventional agriculture, making perennial grasses an attractive crop option for the agricultural sector.
Food versus fuel?
While the benefits of perennial grass as a biofuel are many, the GrassMargins team has identified a need to convince stakeholders that this crop is not only economically viable, but also sustainable and ethical because it can be grown alongside food crops – addressing the 'food-versus-fuel' argument.
"Our partners are actively involved in providing news and information through bio-energy conferences, open information days and practical advice to farmers who could be in a position to harness the potential of their marginal land to grow perennial grasses," continues Dr Barth.
Perennial grasses can grow almost anywhere, even on poor-quality 'marginal' land, which means more arable land can be reserved for food crops. Using marginal land also benefits the surrounding arable land by helping to retain soil nutrients and reduce erosion.
Dr Barth explains that farmers are not the only stakeholders the project is targeting with its dissemination campaign. While there is interest among the farming community, an increase in perennial grass production depends on whether local governments are aware of the benefits and are providing incentives and legislation to encourage the growing of crops for alternative energy.
She adds that the problem of getting the harvest to refineries, which turn the raw material into biofuel such as ethanol, albeit one indirectly linked to the work of the project, also remains as much a political issue as a logistical and environmental one.
Building refineries and boilers locally to produce biofuels could help reduce the amount of transportation needed, which could otherwise quickly negate the positive economics of biofuel production. "Having boilers and combined heat and power (CHP) plants in proximity to crops would make production and refining more efficient", says Dr Barth, "but again there has to be support and incentives from local government level for this to happen."

Life With a Two Pound Baby Born at 29 WeeksHeather Turgeon
Today, Jessica Valenti shares the story of what she calls her "new normal" — life after giving birth to her daughter Layla after just 29 weeks of pregnancy. Layla weighed 2 pounds, 2 ounces.
Valenti had an otherwise normal pregnancy until, at a routine check up, she was found to have dangerously high blood pressure. Even after being immediately hospitalized, she and her husband were skeptical that there was a real problem, because as she says, she didn't feel sick. But two days later, pre-eclamptic symptoms and HELLP syndrome set in and she became seriously ill. Doctors gave her magnesium sulfate for her blood pressure and pitocin to induce labor. After two hours, her liver was failing and she was rushed for an emergency c-section.
Eight weeks later, her daughter is still in the NICU and life for her family is not the same. Nor does she think it should be.
Layla now weighs four pounds and is doing well, according to Valenti. But she makes a wise point about going through a traumatic experience — you're not the same on the other side. And that's okay. We should hear more about this, because I think when people have a near-death or injury experience, we expect that as soon as health is back — everyone made it out in one piece — life goes back as it was.
After a trauma, when the dust settles, I think it's as if your brain knows things are okay, but your body (your emotions) take some time to catch up — they're still in fight or flight mode.
But Valenti isn't trying to carry on as usual, she's still mourning the loss of how she expected her pregnancy and birth to go. And trying to live her new normal.
I also want to share something amazing about the field of obstetrics: at the turn of the 20th century, 100 out of every 1,000 babies in the U.S. died before the age of one. That's 1 in 10. And at that time, 6 to 9 moms per 1,000 died in childbirth in this country. The pace of advancement around mom-baby care is breathtaking. And I'm so glad for Jessica and her baby.

A Message from President Bassis
A Message from President Bassis
The theme of this issue of the Review is change--change in the college itself and changes the college helps students make. More generally, of course, the world around us changes and we must as well or risk being left behind. Mark Twain put it in his own inimitable way when he said, "even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just stay there."
So Westminster is changing. For example, construction of one building will be completed this fall and three others are in various stages of development; we have a new strategic plan to guide the college in exciting directions over the next decade; our enrollment is growing and our national visibility is increasing.
But in the midst of all the change there is at least one constant: Westminster remains committed to creating a powerful learning environment where education is rich, deep, and transformational, and students and their learning are at the center of our activity.
The features in this issue illustrate both the continuity of our commitment to students and our willingness to find new ways to make their experience at Westminster both stimulating and meaningful. I invite you to visit the campus in the near future--when you do, you will see the changes we are making and I expect you will also be assured that we are preserving the characteristics that make this such a very special place.
