FLU SEASON 2013

Nationally, supplies are running low but outlook is positive

Duke and North Carolina ramp up virus vaccinations

As this year’s flu season drags on, supplies of influenza vaccines are being depleted in some areas of the country, but health experts are predicting that this should not be a cause for concern.

Flu season struck early this winter, leading to a rapid surge in demand for flu vaccinations in some regions of the country. More than 128 million of the 135 million doses of vaccine expected to be manufactured by various pharmaceutical companies and intended for U.S. distribution have already been shipped by their manufacturers as of Jan. 4, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The quantity accounts for more than 95 percent of the nation’s planned supply.

Although some locations are temporarily out of vaccine stock, manufacturers are mobilizing to provide more doses to patients in the country. At Duke, Dr. Chris Woods, associate professor of medicine and infectious disease specialist, encouraged vaccination, but did not express concern over the flu season substantially worsening.

Influenza showed up early and uninvited this winter and has since taken a toll on North Carolina.

Seasonal influenza, which normally begins to show up in the United States shortly after New Year’s, made its advent in late November this year and has infected hundreds of people across North Carolina and several on Duke’s campus. Duke and community health leaders are responding with widespread vaccination against the flu.

“Student Health is prepared to provide flu shots to any student who wants one,” said Sue Wasiolek, assistant vice president for student affairs and dean of students. “We will continue to encourage students to get a flu shot.”

Providers at Student Health Services are invoking the same preventative measures as usual by giving out as many flu shots as possible and encouraging increased awareness of hygiene, such as covering one’s mouth when coughing or sneezing and staying home from class and extracurriculars when sick.

When the line monitors— the students who oversee the Duke basketball tenting process—decided to prohibit formal tents for the 2013 black tenting season, they knew they were bringing back a popular rule, but they had no idea just how many Cameron Crazies would show up ready to take on the most difficult level of tenting.

Due to upcoming renovations to Perkins Library, the annual library party—typically held in February—will not occur this year, said Aaron Welborn, director of communications for Duke Libraries. Resources and time typically dedicated to planning the event will be redirected to preparing for renovations to the wing of the library constructed between 1928 and 1948, including the David M.

Durham hospital Sickle cells may be a tool takes on Duke name against cancer tumors

by Andrew Luo THE CHRONICLE

Durham Regional Hospital, operated by the Duke University Health System, will now be known as Duke Regional Hospital in order to boost the facility’s reputation.

by Emma Baccellieri THE CHRONICLE

Durham County commissioners voted Monday night to change the name of Durham Regional Hospital, removing Durham from its title in exchange for Duke.

The newly renamed Duke Regional Hospital, which is owned by the county but operated by the Duke University Health System, believes the change will improve its reputation in the community and help attract patients, said Katie Galbraith, chief of hospital operations.

“Duke Medicine is one of the strongest brands in healthcare,” Galbraith said. “People who move to this area

Sickle red blood cells, more commonly associated with disease, may also play a role in treating cancer tumors.

Researchers discovered that sickle cells, unlike normal red blood cells, can obstruct up to 88 percent of tumor blood vessels.

When combined with chemotherapeutic agents, the sickle cells may be an effective method of attacking cancer tumors that are resistant to existing treatments. The study was published in the Jan. 9 edition of PLOS ONE and was a joint study among researchers at Duke Medicine and Jenomic Research Institute, a biotech company based in Carmel, California.

Sickle cells are more commonly known for its role in sickle cell anemia, a genetic disease that causes normal red blood cells to take on an abnormal crescent shape.

In the study, researchers injected sickle red blood cells into mice with cancerous tumors. The sickle cells were found to clump in the blood vessel vessels of the tumor and its surrounding cells. In contrast, normal red blood cells moved freely through tumor vessels without sticking to

one another.

“The tumor blood vessels and the sickle cells are uniquely joined at the hip,” said David Terman, head of Molecular Genetics at Jenomic. “It’s like two pieces of Velcro that are reciprocally sticky.”

The use of sickle cells is especially effective in treating hypoxic tumors, which are tumor cells that have been deprived of oxygen. These tumor cells are particularly resistant to conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and this study may be the beginning of a new treatment method, said Mark Dewhirst, professor of radiation oncology at the Duke Cancer Institute.

Dewhirst added that another reason for hypoxic tumors’ resistance is because hypoxic cells do not divide. Conventional cancer treatment methods work best on cells that are dividing. Additionally, hypoxic cells are located far from major blood vessels, so drugs do not reach the tumor sites as readily.

Terman, who developed the research concept for the study in 1998, said that he brought his ideas to Duke in 2006 seeking SEE SICKLE ON PAGE 4

The hospital opened as Durham County General Hospital in 1976, according to its website. By the 1990s, it changed its name to Durham Regional Hospital in order to better reflect its expanding service to residents of neighboring counties. The hospital signed a partnership with DUHS in 1998 to ease financial troubles, and since then it has been managed by Duke.

Obama White House to push for comprehensive immigration plan

by Lisa Lerer BLOOMBERG NEWS

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama plans to push for a comprehensive immigration plan that includes a legislative solution to issues such as undocumented immigrants, according to administration officials.

“The bottom line in this debate is full citizenship,” Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said Monday at a National Press Club luncheon in Washington. Americans, in re-electing Obama last year, “rejected a policy of fear and fences,” the mayor said.

While no final decision has been made about when the Democratic White House’s proposal will be formally introduced, administration officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations, said they will oppose efforts by Republicans to break immigration legislation into smaller bills.

“We’ve got to reform our immigration system,” Obama said Monday at a White House news conference.

While Obama didn’t give any details of what his plans are, he said previously that he would begin working on a major immigration bill soon after the

formal start of his second term.

Even as much of Washington has focused on fiscal issues and curbing gun violence, the administration has been working on a plan for several months.

The proposal will include a path to citizenship for the country’s 11 million undocumented immigrants, according to officials—an idea opposed as amnesty by Republican critics.

Separately from the White House, a bipartisan group of senators, headed by Democrat Chuck Schumer of New York and Republican Lindsey Graham of South Carolina have been working on a parallel bill.

Obama won 71 percent of Latino voters in the 2012 election, a victory that left Republicans willing to take up the immigration issue as a way to change their image with the fast-growing demographic group. National exit polls showed that 10 percent of the electorate was Latino, compared with 9 percent four years ago and 8 percent in 2004.

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, speaking on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday, said the Republican Party needs to “take a very hard look at itself and understand that the country has changed” demographically.

“If the Republican Party does not change along with that demographic, they are going to be in trouble,” the retired general, himself a Republican, said on CBS. House Speaker John Boehner said in a Nov. 8 interview with ABC News that “a comprehensive approach is long overdue, and I’m confident that the president, myself, others, can find the common ground to take care of this issue once and for all.”

Villaraigosa, speaking Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” program, said bringing 11 million undocumented immigrants “into the light” would mean “about a $1.5 trillion impact to the U.S. economy.”

Immigrant-owned businesses employ 1 in 10 U.S. workers in private companies and contribute more than $775 billion of revenue to the nation’s economy, according to the Partnership for a New American Economy. The businesses generate about $125 billion in payroll, the nonpartisan advocacy group of 450 mayors and business leaders said in a report last August.

Dr. Dennis Clements, chief of primary care pediatrics and a researcher of vaccines and infectious diseases, wrote in an email Monday that the flu season is halfway through now and that the situation will likely improve in the next three or four weeks, unless a different strain begins to spread.

Clements noted that the severity of the flu season fluctuates every few years, and that the last bad year was 2009.

“Flu strains vary every year— changing slightly—but last year’s disease often offers some protection for this year’s flu,” he said.

“Some regions [of the country] may have peaked, while other parts of the country are still on the upswing,” read a CDC FluView report on the week from Dec. 30 to Jan. 5.

Reacting to “late-season demand,” Michael Szumera, a spokesman for vaccine manufacturer Sanofi Pasteur, told The Washington Post that the company would start shipping vaccines from a small reserve previously intended for international distribution.

GlaxoSmithKline, a manufacturer with a headquarters in Research Triangle Park, is also dipping into a pool of extra vaccines due to the higher U.S. demand, according to a recent GSK release. No additional doses are likely to be made in time for the end of this flu season due to the lengthy manufacturing process, however. search on the project, Terman noted that the next part of the research was to optimize the sickle cells so they can be more effective in attacking tumors, such as by loading the sickle cells with chemotherapeutic or tumor-killing toxins. He hopes that the study will move forward into human clinical studies within the next five to 10 years.

The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health.

HOSPITAL from page 2 unanimously approved a proposal for the name change several weeks ago, said board member and county commissioner Michael Page. The board then filed a request for action with the county commissioners and received approval from county manager Michael Ruffin.

“We feel that from a marketing point of view, the hospital needs this branding to reach new people,” Page said. “The rich history and tradition of Duke will give credence to the hospital when people are making decisions about their medical care.”

According to the 2012 edition of U.S. News and World Report magazine, Durham Regional is ranked the fifth best hospital in North Carolina while Duke University Medical Center is ranked number one. Duke is also

In 1996, immigrants founded 15 percent of all new businesses, the report said.

Immigrants are more than twice as likely to start a business as the nativeborn, according to the report. In 2011, the immigrant business-formation rate was 550 new businesses per month for every 100,000 immigrants, while

ranked eighth nationally.

Last week, members of the hospital’s administration met with the county commissioners to discuss the change and received approval from four of the five commissioners, Galbraith said. The commissioners placed their final votes at their regular work session Monday night.

The name change could prove particularly effective for situations in which patients are asked by emergency medical services to quickly select a hospital, Galbraith said.

The hospital’s president, Kerry Watson, said the name change aligns with the hospital’s goal of becoming the best community hospital in North Carolina.

“We’ve deliberated on this a lot and done a lot of research, and we feel that [changing our name] will support us in offering the best possible patient care,” he said.

the native-born rate was 270 for every 100,000, according to the report.

The group’s founders are News Corp. Chief Executive Officer Rupert Murdoch and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The mayor is founder and majority owner of Bloomberg News parent Bloomberg LP. The U.S. government spent $18 billion on immigration enforcement last year, more than all other major federal criminal law enforcement agencies combined, according to a Jan. 7 report by the nonpartisan Washington-based Migration Policy Institute.

“We will not meet our immigration challenge through enforcement alone,” Villaraigosa said Monday.

LOCAL from page 1 An email sent over the weekend by Student Health warned students of the symptoms of both flu and norovirus.

Student Health previously sought to prepare students for the flu season by offering shots in the Bryan Center last semester, Wasiolek added. Students also had the opportunity to receive free flu shots at East Campus locations and may make an appointment to get one at the Student Health Center. The Student Health Center will be offering an additional opportunity to receive flu shots Tuesday from 6-8 p.m. in the Great Hall.

“Flu this year is more widespread and much earlier than last year, so it has more media attention,” wrote Dr. Kimberly Yarnall, medical director of Student Health Services, in an email Monday. “Health care providers are always concerned about flu in the winter months—[it] came early this year.”

So far, 17 people in North Carolina have died from flu complications since flu season began. The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services logged 276 influenza cases statewide since Oct. 6.

“It is very unusual for us to see this many deaths so early in the flu season,” said state health director Laura Gerald in a Dec. 21 press release. “This year’s vaccine is well-matched to the strains of flu we are seeing in North Carolina so we strongly recommend that anyone over six months old be vaccinated.”

Mark Van Sciver, a representative from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, noted that a seem-

ingly high death toll may not necessarily mean that 2013 will be a high death year.

Van Sciver noted that the number of deaths is higher than in past years, but the flu season also started significantly earlier. Additionally, 13 out of the deaths were people over 60 years old, several with preexisting conditions.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 47 states including North Carolina reported widespread geographic influenza activity during the week ending Jan. 5. Twenty-four of those states also reported an especially high level of influenza-like illness. A slight decrease in activity was recorded last week in North Carolina, although Van Sciver said this may only be a temporary trend.

“Flu season won’t be over until March,” he said.

Although the variant of influenza A more commonly known as H1N1 virus or swine flu has not been as prevalent this season as in 2009, it has still been identified, he noted. The prevalence of H1N1, however, has been helpful by setting a precedent in student and local health centers such as Duke’s. Wasiolek noted that the H1N1 outbreak heightened awareness of the flu and its ability to negatively affect individuals and communities like Duke.

“Everybody needs to be concerned because the flu can spread, especially on a college campus where it is confined,” Van Sciver said. “[The flu shot] is not a guarantee—it is 60 percent effective—but it is the best protection.”

Wasiolek, Yarnall and Van Sciver all encouraged those who had not gotten flu shots yet to do so and be especially vigilant about hand washing.

An ode to Duke’s White Raven Duke drops

“And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting....”

—The (White) Raven, Edgar Allen Poe From the Toepocalypse to the White Raven’s clipped wing, it’s beginning to look like Duke sold its soul (or feet) for six weeks of elite play from Brian Zoubek in 2010.

Since then, the Blue Devils haven’t been able to catch a Chris break, losing Kyrie Irving then Ryan Kelly to indeterminate injuries each time the team looks like a national title contender.

Although the team has been tightlipped about the severity of Kelly’s injury, as it was with Irving’s, it seems unlikely to expect the senior to be back in the near future.

There’s no doubt that Kelly’s absence will be a blow to Duke’s play moving forward, but just how big a loss is it?

It’s hard to say, in part because Kelly is so different from the rest of the roster.

There isn’t another 6-foot-11 stretch power forward to seamlessly insert into the lineup, and the Blue Devils will once again be left to make a fundamental change in style later in the season than they’d like. Losing Kelly is certainly not Toepocalypse Now, but it certainly will impact the Blue Devils

Cook hits the couch to watch tape and improve

by Andrew Beaton THE CHRONICLE

Quinn Cook concedes he is “six-foot on a good day,” so it might seem difficult to find him multiple role models in the NBA, where there is a shortage of short guys.

But Cook is keen on watching film of NBA guards, and he doesn’t just stick to watching one player.

He talks about Team USA guards Chris Paul and Deron Williams, who won gold medals with head coach Mike Krzyzewski. He has brought up Jason Kidd for the future Hall of Fame guard’s rebounding ability.

These days, he has been focusing on NBA Rookie of the Year favorite Damien Lillard while also spending some time watching Celtics guards Jason Terry and Rajon Rondo.

“They’re not the biggest, they’re not the fastest, but they play with a chip on their shoulder and with an edge,” Cook said. “That’s what I mold my game after—playing with that toughness.”

His preparation both on and off the court has shown this season, blossoming as Duke’s point guard with 11.8 points and 6.2 assists per game. Fortunately for Cook, being a film rat became much easier when each member of the team was given an iPad in the fall.

KEVIN SHAMIEH/THE CHRONICLE

Quinn Cook is averaging 11.8 points and 6.2 assists per game this season and makes a hobby out of watching film of a number of NBA guards such as Damien Lillard.

“Quinn can be in his dorm room, text me for something and 20 minutes later it shows up on his iPad,” said Kevin Cullen, Duke’s video coordinator and director of information technology. “It gives them the ability to study basketball on their own time, and Quinn has taken advantage of that as much as anybody.”

The film process is aided by Synergy Sports Technology, a company that records every basketball game—collegiate or professional—and provides game film and statistics easily organized by play type.

That means Cullen and his assistant Casey Stevenson can, with a few clicks, assemble a compilation of all of Kidd’s defensive rebounds.

Then the pair will narrow it down to the best 15 or 20 clips and send them to Cook. The same goes for high-ball screens, which Cook and Mason Plumlee said will increasingly be part of the offense with

senior forward Ryan Kelly out indefinitely due to a foot injury.

Speaking prior to Duke’s loss to N.C. State last weekend, Plumlee said the high-ball screen with Cook was one of the main reasons Duke thrived in the second half of the Clemson game with Kelly sidelined.

“Me and Mason, we have great chemistry off ball screens,” Cook said.

“Coach [Krzyzewski] sees that it’s been working so I think we’ve been practicing more on it, and it’s been one of our strengths.”

As a result, Cook has most recently been watching film on Lillard and former Duke guard Kyrie Irving, who have made ball screens the bread and butter of their NBA success.

The film has also taught Cook lessons on the defensive end—always looking to convert his small stature into craftiness, he has learned he needs to be as big of a nuisance as possible to the opposing ballhandler.

“Just try to be as SEE COOK ON PAGE 8

CUSACK from page 7 more than standard statistics indicate.

Kelly comes from the Shane Battier school of understated excellence, the type of player for whom advanced statistics were invented and still cannot fully explain. His traditional line of 13.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game this season hardly does his impact justice—as anyone who watched Duke limp through last season’s ACC and NCAA Tournaments without him can attest.

Obviously, relying on numbers alone is an insufficient way to measure a basketball player’s impact. Basketball is not baseball, and statistics are not yet good enough to totally isolate a certain player. This is no more apparent than on statistician Ken

TENTING from page 1 line monitors to adopt a new policy that accommodates the large number of early-season tenters. Each tent has 12 members.

Although the line monitors anticipated greater interest due to a shorter tenting season than last year, they did not predict such a high level of involvement.

“Last year we had around 10 tents that started day one,” said Bradley Baird, one of two head line monitors. “We were expecting more than that but we certainly weren’t expecting the demand that we got this year.”

To increase the number of tenters, the line monitors reintroduced a past rule prohibiting formal tent structures during black tenting, responding to popular demand.

The rule, last used in 2010, applies to the black tenting period only.

“People had asked for it,” Baird said. “It was something we did my freshman year that people really enjoyed.”

According to this rule, black tenters were required to build their own structures rather than just pitching a tent. Although the regulation added an additional challenge, tenters began building in Krzyzewskiville more than a day in advance of the start of tenting.

COOK from page 7 annoying as you can, and just try to be a little pest,” Cook said. “Because you’re smaller and a little closer to the ground, for high-ball dribblers it can be tough for them to run the offense.”

Other players will take cues from the coaches on what NBA players to study. Cullen said the coaches suggested Marshall Plumlee observe the play of 7-foot center Omer Asik, who is averaging a double-double this season with the Houston Rockets.

These extra film sessions extend to watching opponents as well. Cullen will typically compile video of four or five plays on an opposing player for the team to all watch together, but he is able to

THE CHRONICLE

Pomeroy’s website, where the hyper-athletic (a term reserved for anyone who pulls off an in-game 360 dunk) Rodney Williams is listed as the player most similar to Kelly.

Kelly’s importance is difficult to both quantify and qualify, and even Mike Krzyzewski struggled to put his impact into words after Saturday’s loss to N.C. State.

“You’re different,” Krzyzewski said of his team without Kelly. “You’re just different.”

Much of that difference comes on the offensive end, where Duke no longer has a power forward who can drag his defender out to the perimeter. Amile Jefferson and Josh Hairston combined to score 18 points on 9-of-14 shooting in Saturday’s loss to N.C. State, but nearly all of those point came from within 10 feet of the basket. Hav-

ing another player in the lane on offense limits Mason Plumlee—who has thrived in the post in large part because of the space created by Kelly—since it becomes easier to slide a defender over for a double team.

Duke also loses one of the hottest 3-point shooters in the country—Kelly has hit 67.7 percent of his treys since the team’s trip to the Bahamas. He is a mismatch on the offensive end of the floor on every possession even without the ball, helping keep space around the perimeter to keep Plumlee out of double teams.

The biggest issue for the Blue Devils, though, will be replacing Kelly’s defense. One of the best post defenders in the country, his opponents score just over .5 points per possession against him on 22 percent shooting,

the third-best mark nationwide of players at all positions. Hairston, who on Saturday called Kelly’s defense “special,” and Jefferson could not contain Richard Howell and C.J. Leslie. The pair finished with a combined 41 points and 24 rebounds in the upset.

That problem will not go away with time, but the Blue Devils’ struggles against Howell and Leslie are hardly an indicator of major issues: The two are the best frontcourt pair in the ACC with Kelly sidelined. Looming matchups with Miami’s Kenny Kadji and Julian Gamble, followed

by Maryland’s Alex Len and James Padgett, though, mean Hairston and Jefferson will be put in a tough spot, with little time to adjust to their new, expanded roles just as conference play begins to heat up.

“Honestly, the no formal tents rule made us a little more excited about it because it’s just more of a challenge,” sophomore Joseph Sullivan said. “A lot of the people in our tent got to bond over the construction experience.”

Given the responsibility to design their own tents, students developed a wide variety of structures.

“People really went all out this year,” Baird said. “They certainly weren’t as elaborate last time around. We weren’t expecting to have people build these quite expensive structures. People really took some creative liberty, and I think that’s something that’s been really fun to watch.”

The high number of tents also suggests that the rule did not deter the less intense tenters from trying out black tenting.

That demand can partially be attributed to the team’s performance this year after the Blue Devils won their first 15 games of the season, Baird said.

So far this season the atmosphere in the student section has lived up to the team’s performance, highlighted by a showdown with then-No. 2 Ohio State, for which students camped out as well. “[The Ohio State game] was certainly one of the most energizing atmospheres

that I personally have seen since I’ve been at Duke,” Baird said. “That was something that was really exciting to see, and I think that’s pretty indicative of how this season has gone.”

While the team’s success has played a large part in bolstering fan support, the team’s personality has won over the Crazies too.

Facing a crowd of more than 400 students on night one of tenting, Baird asked the residents outside Cameron Indoor Stadium what motivated them to start so early.

Baird said one tenter yelled back, “because this team is so likable.”

The likability factor might have an even bigger impact than the team’s success. This year’s tenting numbers are higher than the last time Duke won 15 straight games to start the season, the 2010-2011 season.

The unanticipated level of enthusiasm for this black tenting season left the line monitors with several challenges, however.

Having originally planned to just run a scavenger hunt to determine the order of the tents, the line monitors needed to revise their method so that it could provide a fair method to arrange such a large number of groups.

“We held a town hall meeting where the

tenters could come and talk and we got some really good feedback of fair ways and ways that people would be interested in for ordering themselves,” Baird said.

Fellow head line monitor Jackson Lindsey issued a statement Monday afternoon via email to the Cameron Crazies listserv announcing a new, three-category point system to determine black tent order, comprised of a race to a secret spot, a Duke basketball trivia contest and attendance at various Duke sporting events.

Furthermore, to accommodate the large number of early-season tenters, the line monitors have chosen to raise the total number of tents permitted during blue season from 60 to 75.

Spots for blue tenting will be decided through another race to a secret spot, and despite Duke’s first loss of the season, it’s unlikely that the appeal of the team’s personality will wear off.

“This team has really been great for students to watch, great for students to be engaged in,” Baird said. “It’s a team that people will always enjoy watching play, and it’s a team that people want to come out and support and that is a huge, huge, huge factor that can be attributed to the high interest in black tenting.”

provide a player such as Cook with an extra batch of clips on an opponent he might be matched up against, like Georgia Tech’s Mfon Udofia. Additionally, every one of Duke’s previous practices and games is readily accessible on the iPad at any moment. Cullen said the introduction of the iPad has probably created three to four times as many requests for film from the players.

And if there’s one thing to watch closely for in the film of Thursday’s game against the Yellow Jackets, it’s the small chip on Cook’s shoulder.

“Whether it’s J.J. [Redick], Kyrie, Nolan [Smith]—when they were at their best, they were mad at something, and they turned that into being a great basketball player,” Cullen said.

tive learning and productive work—not merely performing superfluous tasks to be turned into resume bullet-points.

Most importantly, Duke IDEAS must heavily consider its process for identifying the societal “problems” that project teams address. What exactly constitutes a societal “problem”? While it is tempting to pick much publicized scientific, economic or environmental problems, we hope that Duke IDEAS takes advantage of the University’s diverse methodological approaches. In short, Duke IDEAS must also shed light on the “problems” of the human condition, which the humanities disciplines may be better equipped to address.

Only one of the current Duke IDEAS themes has a strong humanities flavor—Information,

Society and Culture.

Ensuring the humanities have their place in Duke IDEAS is far from old-fashioned. Some of society’s greatest contemporary challenges are best approached through the distinctive lenses these disciplines offer. An investigation into the effects on the brain of the new digital age may incorporate linguists and historians, but will likely be grounded in the unique insights offered by neuroscience. Similarly, studying the effects of racism in contemporary America would likely bring statisticians and economists to the table, but would perhaps be best organized around a cultural anthropologist’s exploration of the experiences of affected communities. The humanities need to be at the forefront in

these themes, not tacked on as mere decoration.

These fundamental questions—such as those of ethics, power, identity and culture— are perhaps not as intuitively addressable as those of energy, food and information. But they are equally important. The addition of a sixth theme, maybe organized broadly around questions of human values, could ensure that space is carved out for the humanities disciplines.

Clearly, Duke IDEAS aims to help the University produce knowledge in the service of society, and we understand that Duke’s strengths and limitations will impact the issues we tackle. We only ask that this program strive to consider the full range of problems that humanity faces.

Recital sets Shakespeare-inspired art songs alongside monologues

by Thomas Kavanagh THE CHRONICLE

When Orsino laments his unrequited passion for Countess Olivia in Twelfth Night, he offers the ultimate recipe for numbing heartbreak: “If music be the food of love, play on.� Today his words echo with artists of all types. It’s a rare occasion, however, when seemingly disconnected modes of performance—chamber music and theatre—share a stage.

In a performance that’s part staged reading and part recital, “Shakespeare: Music’s Muse� will showcase piano-voice duets (a.k.a art songs) either inspired by or written to accompany several of the master-poet’s plays. David Heid (piano) and Andrea Moore (soprano) will call upon works variously influenced by Hamlet, Othello, As You Like It and Twelfth Night. Back-to-back with Heid and Moore, undergraduate thespians Steven Li (’13) and Molly Forlines (’13) will perform selections from the motivating texts.

The performance, to be put on Friday, Feb. 8 in the Nelson Music Room, is unusual for many reasons. It includes an eclectic selection of works from various eras and composers: spanning works from Brahms to 20th century masters H.H.A. Beach and E. W. Korngold. The set also features a partial rendition of the closing number from “Kiss Me Kate,�

Cole Porter’s musical version of The Taming of the Shrew, which will involve the whole four-person ensemble. While the set-list of “Music’s Muse� includes some incidental works which originally backed

up performances of Shakespeare, much of what Heid and Moore will perform has never shared the concert space with live theater. “What we want to do is fully wed art forms that are usually only related,� said Heid, who also teaches piano

at Duke and plays as a staff accompanist. “People these days are trying different ways to prevent classical music besides the usual recital.� “Music’s Muse� is another example of unexpected student-faculty interaction on equal terms. Heid said he gave the students free reign to select specific monologues, and Heid believes Li and Forlines will have had as much authority over the vision of the performance as the Triangle veterans. For the student actors, this isn’t their first go at experimental theater nor is it their first time performing Shakespeare.

Both Li and Forlines starred in last fall’s Theater Studies show Women Beware Women, an edgy adaptation of Moliere’s classic by the same name, and they also played important roles in the fall showcase of Antic Shakespeare, an undergraduate theatre group dedicated to Shakespeare.

Forlines jumped on the opportunity to “flex her Shakespeare muscles� upon hearing of Heid and Moore’s project. For her, the chance to communicate with art song is proving to be an enriching intellectual partnership. She said that Heid and Moore’s expression of the music of Shakespeare’s poetry grants her an indirect understanding of the Bard’s verse.

Shakespeare’s poetry has always been musical. His syllables are composed with

THE CHRONICLE

CDS to showcase Home Movie Day, Alice Fest

by Jamie Moon THE CHRONICLE

This spring, the Center for Documentary Studies will present two film festivals, Home Movie Day and Alice Fest, highlighting the preservation of home movies and the role of women in media, respectively.

Home Movie Day, sponsored by the CDS and Duke’s Archive of Documentary Arts, is an annual event that has celebrated amateur films and filmmaking worldwide since 2002. To be held on Saturday, Jan. 26, the event will be hosted by Skip Elsheimer, founder of A/V Geeks, an online collection of educational and homemade films. In addition to the A/V Geeks films, the event will also feature works by local film archivists and the guests themselves.

“Usually people show up with a shoebox full of films,” Elsheimer said. “When you watch home movies of people you don’t know anything about, it’s actually fascinating. It’s like original reality television.”

Due to the varying equipment needed for different video formats, Home Movie Day will feature only 8mm or 16mm film movies. Although most people have discarded this type of film after transferring content onto VHS or DVD, Elsheimer argues that the quality of the original film remains the finest.

“What we want is for people to hold onto the original film. Those are irreplaceable,” Elsheimer said.

On the other hand, those who have retained collections of their home movies often struggle to find a compatible projector to view them, leading to growing piles of home movies at thrift stores, yard sales and even the garbage. Yet Elsheimer argues that what may appear as a simple personal memory, such as a surprise birthday party, is an essential preservation of cultural history.

“The older the film is, the more important they are because they show things besides Christmas or birthdays,” Elsheimer said. “They show how towns used to look, his-

torical events, what celebrities came to town, all sorts of things.”

Originally held in Raleigh’s North Carolina State Archives Auditorium, Home Movie Day moved to Durham in the hopes of increasing accessibility and finding a new audience among Duke students.

“The CDS likes hosting events like Home Movie Day because home movies are really just another form of docu-

progress from filmmakers based in the South.

Named after the first female film director Alice GuyBlaché, Alice Fest aims to advance the role of women in filmmaking and media. The founder and host of Alice Fest, documentarian and CDS alum Vivian Bowman-Edwards, hopes to highlight women’s accomplishments in filmmaking, which often go overlooked.

“All the things that women are doing and have been doing, people just don’t know about,” BowmanEdwards said. “Even in history, all the things you learn about, women aren’t included. One goal is to highlight women’s achievements; another is to encourage women to be involved in media and mediamaking.”

Similar to Home Movie Day, the event will feature not only curated works but also prior submissions accepted on a rolling basis. Divided into two screening blocks, the event will also include a Q&A session with the filmmakers and directors themselves.

In addition to film screenings, Alice Fest will also honor leaders among local teachers, educators, and mentors who have made women more visible in the media through their work. Last year, Alice Fest recognized Sonya Williams Harris, producer and host of the weekly television program Tarheel Talk, and Barbara Lau, director of Pauli Murray Project, a community project devoted to civil rights.

While only women filmmakers can submit entries, the content of the film can vary from food and travel as seen in Simone Keith’s Bia’s Brazil to a college romance in Nancy Kalow’s The Beginning of the End, both showcased last year at Alice Fest.

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE Although the list of films for 2013 has yet to be mentary,” CDS Continuing Education Coordinator Marc confirmed, Bowman-Edwards looks forward to another Maximov said. positive step towards increasing women’s roles in media Alice Fest, the second event to be held on Sunday, Mar. through the continuation of Alice Fest.

Threshold conference convenes at Duke

by Kathy Zhou THE CHRONICLE

From Feb. 28 through Mar. 3, Duke will host Across the Threshold: Creativity, Being & Healing, the international conference, now in its fifth year, that examines the interrelationship of mind, body, spirit, community and, now, environment.

In 2007, Dance Program colleagues conceptualized an interdisciplinary approach to determining how healing and altered states of consciousness translate to the contemporary world.

“Dance originated as an expression of spirit, and that’s what we have to offer to academia, to the broader world and to the incredibly huge overarching issues that we face as a species,” says Keval Khalsa, a co-convener of the conference, associate professor of the practice and director of the dance program.

Knowing that the project would extend beyond their own fields, the co-conveners built bridges with the Center for Integrative Medicine and the Franklin Humanities Institute, along with several other organizations, students and professionals.

Since then, Duke has convened two interdisciplinary symposia. In 2009, the program invited scholar and artist Ciane Fernandes from the Federal University of Bahia, and in 2011, the conference was held in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil. Across the Threshold will be Duke’s second international conference.

“Bringing our students together with a diverse group of individuals who elucidate connections between spirituality and social, economic, environmental and global issues helps to broaden the conversation about the human experience,” Ava Vinesett wrote in an email. An associate professor of the practice of dance and another coconvener of Across the Threshold, Vinesett continued, “In part, our purpose is to further galvanize the spiritual stamina required to heal self and community.”

This year’s conference will be the biggest venture to date with respect to the scope of key presenters and attendees. “It’s a big undertaking for a small program,” says Khalsa, “but we’re very thrilled to be connecting with just so many units on campus around the key presenters.”

The conference will place a greater emphasis on the environment, considered the missing piece from previous programs. This year’s key presenters are Chris Jordan and Lily Yeh, two artists who, in different but overlapping ways, convey the theme of Across the Threshold.

Chris Jordan is a Seattle-based artist, described by Khalsa as “a brilliant artist, touching people on the visceral level about the sort of global destruction that human activity has brought on.” Bridging the gap between science and art, Jordan takes scientific statistics and communicates them in a manner intended to stimulate activism. Through photographs and multimedia, Jordan unapologetically bears witness to the effects of our world’s ravaging consumerism.

His keynote presentation is titled “Encountering Midway: the roles of grief, hope, and love in healing our world.” For a number of years Jordan has documented Midway, an atoll located in the North Pacific Ocean covered by massive amounts of garbage and debris. He is currently in the post-production stage of a documentary about his work at Midway and will show select clips dur-

ing his presentation.

During his residency, Jordan will also work with the Nicholas School of the Environment, interact with MFA students in Experimental and Documentary Arts and join Arts of the Moving Image for a Screen/Society event on Jan. 27.

The second key presenter is Lily Yeh, a Chinese-American community-based artist who has worked extensively in impoverished areas including villages in Rwanda and a Philadelphia neighborhood. Yeh also worked in the suburbs of Beijing at the Dandelion School for the children of Chinese migrant workers, which is now a DukeEngage site.

Yeh is the cofounder of Barefoot Artists, a SEE THRESHOLD ON PAGE 14

SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE

Visiting Artists @ Duke, 2013 Makoto Fujimura and Bruce Herman Long regarded as a masterpiece of modern English literature, T.S.

THE CHRONICLE

Returning series promotes artistic immersion

by Hannah Anderson-Baranger THE CHRONICLE

Panoramic video journals. Interactive digital installation. Experimental film. These are just a few of the artistic forms that will be found in the Immersed in Every Sense 2, a Visiting Artist Lecture Series. Organized by the arts faculty and supported by funding from the Vice Provost for the Arts, the series brings to campus artists from around the United States and Canada for a brief residency, during which the artists give public lectures, demonstrations and visit classes.

The title of the series hints at what the faculty aim to do with Duke’s arts education, Professor William Noland of the Art, Art History and Visual Studies department said. The faculty purposefully chose “artists that cross borders the same way our department is focused on interdisciplinarity,” Noland explained. This spring series especially highlights new forms of image capturebased work, intersecting visual art, technology and experience.

Noland explained that the creation of the series was motivated by the need for cohesive artist visits; the series coordinates lectures across the art programs and the Nasher Museum of Art. The Department of Art, Art History and Visual Studies (AAHVS) has always brought in artists, explained AAHVS Professor Pedro Lasch, but the funding from the Vice Provost for the Arts allows for a more extensive series with bigger-name artists.

The lectures are geared toward undergraduates, but are open to the public. Class visits provide undergraduate students with a different take on their own artwork from an outside professional. The series also creates space for more interaction between undergraduates and the students from the new MFA in Experimental and Documentary Arts program.

The practice of visual art is moving towards more “cross-pollination” with other disciplines, especially with the sciences, Noland said. The artists taking part in the series were specifically chosen to represent a diversity of subjects and for their ability to speak to a broad range of people, explained Lasch. This year’s se-

ries includes artists that will especially appeal to students with interests in engineering, information science, computer science and environmental science.

Engineering students may be particularly interested in artist Chris Coleman. Scheduled to visit Duke in late February, Coleman began by studying mechanical engineering, after which he turned to visual art.

His practice often takes the form of interactive installation, involving sculpture, performance and video.

Coleman is concerned with control systems, theories of chaos and order and interactive digital art involving complex audio/visual manipulation, tying together the disciplines of art and technology.

Danwei Wu, a Trinity ’14 neuroscience major also double-minoring in chemistry and visual arts, attended several of the lectures from last year’s series, the first Immersed in Every Sense. Wu was encouraged to attend the lectures by a professor, but then went to a few just for fun.

“The whole concept is immersive—you’re part of the piece, you’re interacting with the piece, versus looking at the painting,” Wu said of the artists’ work.

This year’s series is no different.

Both artists scheduled for March work at the cutting edge of film. Luc Courchesne works in experimental video, creating interactive portraiture and “panoscopic” images with a device of his own making. The panoscopic images could be described as panoramic in-the-round videos—for instance, one piece is a video journal of a beach, with the

Duke Wind Symphony concert honors longtime conductor Professor Paul Bryan

by Dan Fishman THE CHRONICLE

It’s hard to talk about the history of the Duke Wind Symphony without mentioning Paul Bryan. Among alumni who played under him during his thirtyeight year tenure, his status is legendary. Part musicologist, part conductor, the man who students call P.B. presided over many of the symphony’s most thriving years. He envisioned, planned and eventually led five semester-long concert tours and study abroad programs in Vienna, Austria for DWS members. A relentless advocate for the creation of compositions made especially for wind symphonies, he commissioned pieces by some of the most famous American composers for concert bands, many of which, including Norman Dello Joio’s “Variants on a Medieval Tune,” have been played by symphonies around the world. He’s published numerous academic articles on Haydn and Mozart, helped run Durham’s Youth Symphony and, even though he’s turning 93 in April, still plays the euphonium at many of the Duke Wind Symphony’s twice-weekly rehearsals. In 2008, former students of his worked with him to publish a book about his life and work under the apt title P.B., Who He?: Teacher, Not-your-usual Band Conductor, Musicologist and Human Being.

Despite his many accomplishments, it’s that last quality, P.B.’s generous humanity, that I’ve heard spoken about most enthusiastically by his friends and colleagues. “He’s such a wonderful person,” said Verena Mösenbichler-Bryant, current director of the DWS. “I just want to give a little back for what he’s given me.”

On Apr. 18 at 8 p.m., MösenbichlerBryant and many DWS members both past and current will have that opportunity. The date marks the group’s second concert of the semester, a concert that will be dedicated to P.B. and his lasting impact. The group will perform pieces that P.B. conducted during his first concert at Duke, as well as some of the pieces that he commissioned and some of his personal favorites. Mösenbichler-Bryant has hinted that P.B. will take the podium for at least one of the pieces, conducting once more, and P.B. himself will likely play his euphonium. Alumni living as far away as Russia have RSVP’d to play with the Symphony during April’s concert.

Many of these same alumni have stayed

in contact with P.B. well after their time at Duke.

“His memory for all of his students is just incredible,” said Shauna Farmer, Trinity ’86, who played bassoon with the symphony. “He makes me feel like I’m someone special, but in the grand scheme of things, he probably keeps in touch with dozens of students. He really cared about all of us.”

P.B. has a catalog of stories about times he has had with his students, and it’s clear that they are as important to him—if not more important—than the music he helped to make. “It took an enormous amount of energy, but I loved the students—they were so responsive— and it was like falling in love,” P.B. said about his first trip to Vienna.

When I talked with P.B., he regularly returned to experiences he had abroad with the symphony. On his first trip to Vienna with the group, he remembers playing in the best concert hall and reading a review by an Austrian critic that said that the students played with “an exemplary precision one doesn’t hear in this land” even though only a few were interested in becoming professional musicians. “I think we were the first serious American wind band to go [to Vienna] and play,” P.B. said. Throughout his time at Duke, the symphony toured many other major European cities, and the large group photos of students in ’70sera attire and assorted concert posters hanging in Mösenbichler-Bryant’s office in the Mary Duke Biddle Music Building attest to their presence abroad.

Inspired by P.B.’s trips, MösenbichlerBryant hopes to reinstate the practice of touring that had stopped in recent decades. This fall, DWS is scheduled to perform in Atlanta, which, though not exactly Europe, should allow the young director an opportunity to practice touring before planning more extended, possibly international trips in the future.

Her enthusiasm about touring is only one of the similarities between Mösenbichler-Bryant and P.B. “She’s really grabbed the students,” P.B. said. “She’s vital, and she’s a very good conductor.”

Those are the kind of qualities that have helped her to grow the DWS back to over 60 musicians from a low-point of 30 just before she was hired. “Before I came here I was told this was the last chance for the Wind Symphony to thrive again,” SEE SYMPHONY ON PAGE 14

He currently holds the prestigious Edwin Link Endowed Professorship in Organ and Harpsichord at Binghamton University in New York. Biggers has appeared as a recitalist or soloist with orchestra in hundreds of concerts throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. One critic wrote of him, “Were there more performers like this, the organ would be far less a minority interest.”

On Saturday, February 23, at 11:00 a.m., Jonathan Biggers will offer a workshop on “Creative Hymn Playing” in the Chapel chancel (free and open to the public).

Robert Parkins Sunday, March 24, 2013 5:00 p.m.

THE CHRONICLE

SCREEN from page 12 Studies Program at Duke will feature films from Argentina, Zimbabwe and Benin. The film from Benin, Si-Gueriki, will have a discussion after the showing with its director Idrissou Mora Kpai, currently a visiting instructor at Duke.

The Middle East Film Series comprises three films from Iran, a PalestinianIsraeli collaboration and two Egyptian films. The first film in the series, A Separation, won the 2012 Best Foreign Language Oscar by deftly sketching an intimate and poignant portrait of a marriage’s dissolution in contemporary

Iran. One of the most intriguing and potentially controversial films shown by Screen/Society this semester is the Sundance Directing Award-winning 5 Broken Cameras. This documentary chronicles the struggle of a Palestinian farmer’s nonviolent resistance to the building of a separation barrier by the Israeli army in his village. Told through the lens of five cameras that are shattered or shot through the course of filming, the footage was edited by Israeli director Guy Davidi.

There will also be two special events, a screening by acclaimed photographer and environmental activist Chris Jordan for his work-in-progress documentary

Midway and a screening of the best student films produced in Duke’s Arts of the Moving Image courses.

Screen/Society prides itself on being one of the premier programs for film and video exhibition in the Triangle region. This semester’s offerings seek to solidify its reputation and hopefully craft an even more prominent place for cinema as an academic invigorator within the Duke community.

All screenings are free and open to the public.

an ear for not only meter but harmony. But these art songs, if successful, have the opportunity to bring out melodic strains and moods that might otherwise be difficult to access.

“When I hear one of his sonnets I want to break into dance,” Forlines said. “When I listen to the language, when I speak it, I know that music is innate to the text.”

“Shakespeare: Music’s Muse” will take place Friday, Feb. 8 at 8 p.m. in the Nelson Music Room of the East Duke Building. Admission is free.

nonprofit that uses creativity for healing.

Yeh has powerfully changed lives and affected development in poor communities.

Through her work, over a hundred different spaces have been transformed with mosaics, gardens, artwork and educational programs.

Yeh will hold a pre-conference workshop on Feb. 28, presenting “Healing through Creative Action: Authenticity is the Key,” where she will work through her model designed to transform a space and

said Mösenbichler-Bryant. “So far it seems like we have continuity again. It’s getting closer to how it was in P.B.’s time.”

It’s tempting to think about the concert as an event that passes the baton from the legacy of P.B.’s reign to the new DWS under Mösenbichler-Bryant. But it’s probably more appropriate to view it simply as an opportunity to pay tribute to a man who has done so much for the Symphony. “Alumni players have told me that for them he is the Duke Wind Symphony,” Mösenbichler-Bryant said.

April’s concert is the ultimate chance to both honor P.B.’s central and lasting role in building the DWS and to convince those very alumni that the group will outlast him.

landscape and place through documentary filmmaking.

While the Immersed in Every Sense 2 series is defined by its funding from the Vice Provost for the Arts, AAHVS is also hosting artists with a similar interdisciplinary approach. Artist Pablo Helguera, currently the director of adult and academic programs at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, will be visiting this week and giving a lecture on Thursday. His work encompasses a wide array of mediums, including sculpture, painting, installation and performance and often engages with social issues.

The Duke Wind Symphony performs A Concert Dedicated to Paul Bryan April 18 at 8 p.m. in Page Auditorium. Admission is free. There will be a celebratory reception after the concert at which audience members can meet P.B.

community. Throughout her residency, she will also speak with the Asian American Association and the Duke Center for Civic Engagement, work with schoolchildren in Durham and meet DukeEngage students who will work at the Dandelion School this summer.

Across the Threshold is designed as a space through which attendees can nourish and explore the purpose of spirit and healing. These are themes the conference conveners would argue are sometimes overlooked—academically, personally and socially—yet are profoundly connected to much more than our individual experience.

“As artists, what is the contribution that we make to society?” Khalsa asked.

“These are questions that we’re exploring through this conference. The idea of embodied practice is central to the work we do. We can heal on all levels by starting in the body because this is where we live.”

Registration and additional information at http://danceprogram.duke.edu/threshold. Duke student, faculty and staff discounts available.

Separate registration is required for the pre-conference workshop.

Immersed in Every Sense 2 is a semester-long series. More information about visiting artists and events details can be found at http://aahvs. duke.edu/.
