Its an unseasonably warm January afternoon, and head womens

basketball Coach Joanne P. McCallie is sitting behind a desk in her

immaculate fourth floor campus office with a pristine view of a blue

sky and the hustle and bustle of campus life.

Below, the tent village

known as Kville is teeming with

tents and students willing to

sleep in the elements forbasketball tickets, a reminder

of how important the sport is

to the Blue Devil faithful.

McCallie, or Coach P as

shes affectionately called (the

P stands for her maiden name

Palombo), dreamt of one day

being in this very position. But

shes been so engrossed in

leading a new program and

living what she described as her

dream job, she hasnt had an

opportunity to process how itcame to fruition.

I havent had the

chance, said McCallie, 42.

I imagine that will happen in the spring some time, when I can look

around and really absorb that feeling of, Isnt it really great to be at Duke.

McCallie was hired last April as Dukes fourth head womens

basketball coach in Blue Devil history, replacing Gail Goestenkors, who

now leads the womens team at the University of Texas.

Entering her 16th season as a head coach, McCallie made her way to

Durham via Michigan State, where she spent seven seasons, leading the

Spartans to a 149-75 record. She led the team to five straight NCAA

Tournament appearances, four straight 20-win seasons and an appearance

in the NCAA Championship game in 2005. She molded Michigan State

basketball into an elite national program with a 81-23 record in her last

three years.

The daughter of a Navy pilot, McCallie is known in basketball circles

as an intense competitor with an

affinity for Duke since she was a

standout point guard at Brunswick

High School in Maine and had todecide where to play ball and attend

college. She narrowed her final choices

between Duke and Northwestern,

eventually deciding on Northwestern.

But she kept an eye on the Duke

program.

At Duke, our staff is blessed to

be at the best basketball laboratory

nationwide, she wrote to fans in her

online journal, Coach P Notebook.

We can do so much with such fine,

smart, athletic and tough-minded

women. There are no limits and ourplay and attack will reflect that fact.

Fast, furious, tough and talented

marked by a fighting spirit that will be second to none.

McCallie played her collegiate career at Northwestern, where, as a

senior, she was an All Big Ten honorable mention selection.

After graduating from Northwestern in 1987 with a degree in political

science, McCallie worked for a Chicago telecommunications firm. She

wanted to get an MBA and began looking for graduate assistant positions

around the country and landed at Auburn, where she earned a masters

degree in business administration and joined the staff of womens

basketball coach Joe Ciampi as a full-time assistant.

hef Jeff Henderson strode confidently across the Reynolds Theater stage in a

spotless white apron and freshly-pressed chef s jacket.

Im just a homeboy from the neighborhood who woke up one day anddecided I wanted to make a difference, he told about 200 people, many of whom

were Duke Dining employees gathered for culinary training.

Henderson, 43, whose life story was featured on Oprah, spoke about his

transition from convicted crack cocaine dealer to award-winning executive chef and

the New York Times best-selling author of Cooked: From the Streets to the Stove,

from Cocaine to Foie Gras.

When I got out of prison and started looking for a job, I had to make the

felony persona, the prison stigma, disappear, he said. I had to improve my

appearance, my attitude.

During a motivational presentation, Henderson emphasized the power of

potential and the importance of knowledge, dedication and professionalism. His

message: Success is attainable if youre willing to put forth extra effort, and

challenges can be overcome with persistence and a positive attitude.What youre looking at was 20 years in the

making, Henderson said.

Change didnt come overnight.

After his conviction,

Henderson served nine years in

prison, where he honed his

cooking, read his first book and

received a GED. He got out in

1996. His first culinary job was as a

dishwasher at a Beverly Hills

restaurant. A strong work ethic

arriving early and staying late paid

off. He later became executive chef at

Cafe Bellagio in Las Vegas.

Columbia Pictures has purchased

the film rights to Hendersons story,

and Henderson has a new cookbook

due out soon.

The dark side of e-communications, and whatto do about it

The Rev. Sam Wells, dean of Duke Chapel, hadbeen in the UnitedStates just three weeks

when he received his firstangry e-mail at Duke from someone hednever met.

It was the Sunday after HurricaneKatrina, he recalled. Id suggested in mysermon that the tragedy could have beenrelated to global warming. I didnt think Idsaid anything very provocative, but thisperson wrote to tell me, in strong language,that he thought I was injecting my politicalviews gratuitously into an act of worship.

Wells was being flamed insultedvia blog, listserv, e-bulletin board or e-mail.

Paula McClain, professor of politicalscience, had a more frighteningexperience. During the lacrosse investigation, she received racist messages.She learned how to filter e-mail through Dukes Office of InformationTechnology (OIT) and stopped most of the offending messages. Some hadbeen sent from work computers at distant organizations. McClain trackeddown the organizations by e-mail address, located supervisors and sentthem the messages and writers addresses. One supervisor wrote back,Youll never hear from this person again.

People have a legal right to say unpleasant things, but Duke faculty andstaff can take steps to limit intrusions. If someone sends malicious e-mail,

resist the urge to reply but save all threatening e-mail. The Online@DukeWeb page allows you to set spam filters on your NetID e-mail account andblock messages from senders. You can also set up a filter system in the e-

mail software on your computer, generally located under the Tools drop-down menu.

Stop SpamSpam is unsolicited bulk

electronic messages. It might bean undesired ad for cheappharmaceuticals, or anenticement to click here andvisit a Web site. In fall 2006,OIT spam filters blocked 1.4million messages a day. In fall2007, the rate increased to morethan 1 million an hour.

There are some laws againstspamming, but people who sendspam have learned how to hideby harnessing other peoples

computers from a distance.OITs Chris Colomb says there is an increasing amount of

bandwidth available in the world, meaning people have the capacity tosend more data to more computers at ever faster speeds. What can you doabout it? Increase the sensitivity of the spam filters on your own e-mailprogram and in the Duke network through OIT.

This would be a relief to Joel Rosch, senior research scholar at theCenter for Child and Family Policy. I just dont want to see this stuff onmy computer. Im really offended by a lot of it. Its embarrassing.

Dont get taken for a ride

You want the car; the dealer wants a sale.

This could be a recipe for consumer disaster, unlessyou put your emotions in park and engage your

intellect, says Scottie Dowdy of the Duke University

Federal Credit Union.When it comes to car buying, facts matter more than

falling in love, she said.Duke faculty and staff recently attended Drive Away

Happy, a Duke Credit Union seminar to learn how to buya car that fits lifestyle and budget. The seminar was partof the credit unions financial seminar series, which alsooffers free workshops on home buying, reducing creditcard debt and identity theft.

When it comes to car buying, the Duke Credit Unionoffers a Web site with resources and counselors who willhelp navigate the loan, warranty, insurance and more.

Dowdy said a car buying decision should first startwith research.

Buy or lease? New or used? These are only thebeginning of the questions. Dowdy said each optioncomes with pros and cons, and the best chance at a gooddeal is to research before visiting a dealer or car lot.

Do your homework, Dowdy said. You needto be prepared.

She suggested buyers keep the following in mind:New cars are typically more reliable and have repair

warranties, but a new car costs more to buy, insure andregister. Used cars may be cheaper outright; however,consumers dont know how well the car was maintained,

and it may not have a warranty.Down the road, maintenance costscan be an issue.

Leasing a car may come with

lower monthly payments, butinsurance costs more andgetting out of a lease contractis difficult. Leased cars comewith comprehensive warranties but mileage limits.

After deciding on type of car, consider your budget,Dowdy said. Calculate how much extra it will cost eachmonth for the car payment, registration, insurance, gas,parking and routine maintenance. Put that money asideeach month for a few months.

Can you live on the new budget?If you cant, wheres the money going to come

from? Dowdy asked.Libby Lang, a Durham Academy teacher, learned

about the credit unions car buying seminars from herfather, a retired orthopedic surgeon at Duke. She attendeda session last year when she was thinking about replacingher 13-year-old Honda Accord. She didnt end upimmediately buying a car, but she has the information forwhen she shops around this year.

The session addressed everyones diversebackgrounds and needs, Lang said. I loved that it wasfree. That is a positive outreach Duke provides.

I really began to see how the game was taught,

McCallie said. Joe was the first person to show me there is

a thing called coaching, and you do teach this game. And

there is a way to do it.

After four years at Auburn, she joined the University

of Maine in 1992 for her first head coaching job at age 26.

In her eight seasons at the helm of the Black Bears,

McCallie registered seven straight 20-win campaigns and

went to the NCAA Tournament six times.What could be more fun than going back to your

home state? she said. Everyone was really supportive

I then began to really love coaching.

That led to a seven-year stay at Michigan State, where

she guided the Spartans to the NCAA Tournament five

times; the team advanced to the NCAA National

Championship game in 2005.

McCallies accomplishments, including being named

National Coach of the Year by the Associated Press,

helped pave a way to Duke, where she hit the ground

running. She spent work days in Durham and weekends in

Michigan with her husband, John, and children, Maddie

and Jack.Over the summer, she traveled overseas and coached

the FIBA (International Basketball Federation) Under 21

national team, winning the gold medal in Russia, before

hitting the road again to recruit. Soon after, she began

preparing for the fast-approaching season, which McCallie

knew would be challenging with the coaching transition.

This is a crazy time for me and my family, McCallie

said at the time. But, sometimes in life you just have to

seize the moment and keep that faith that all will come

together in a very special way. John has been a gem in

terms of providing great stability to our family while I run

and fly all over the place.

After starting the Duke season with six straight wins, theteam lost three straight games in eight days the first to No.

2 Connecticut, the second to No. 20 Vanderbilt, the third to

unranked Penn State all on the road. It was the first time

since 1994 that a Duke team had lost three in a row.

Shes always encouraged us and told us when times

are hard, thats when you have to stay together the most,

said Duke sophomore guard Keturah Jackson. So I think,

with those three losses, not only have we drawn close

together, but weve learned to trust each other more. Its

helped us grow a lot already.

In addition to adjusting to a

new coach, players were adapting

to life without central figures

during the last four years All

Americans Alison Bales and

Lindsey Harding. On top of that,

Duke was hit hard by player

injuries early in the season.

You coach and bring your

philosophy and teach, but you

dont make any illusions about it,

McCallie said. You just sort ofkeep doing. Its just one step in front of the other; just

simple, simple steps of having experiences with each other.

Youve got to travel together. Youve got to have adversity

together.

In their game against No. 4 Rutgers at Cameron

Indoor Stadium, the Blue Devils knocked off the Scarlet

Knights 49-44, kicking off a seven-game winning streak.

She has a lot of philosophies and teaches a lesson in

everything she tells us, said Jackson, the sophomore guard.

Sometimes, well come in and well have a quote we have

to memorize, and well have to think about how we can

apply it to basketball and apply it to life.

While McCallie and the team work toward a 14thstraight NCAA Tournament bid, the nature of the season

and demands of her time will not allow her much time to

ponder how special a place Duke is.

She already knows.

I love the crowd at Cameron, she said. They shake

the place. Thats a wonderful, wonderful thing.

Eat Outside the Box

CabbageBell Pepper Carrots Turnips Leeks Beets

Eggplant

SquashRichard Holcomb of Coon Rock Farm

includes recipes for his produce on

the Coon Farm Web site, like this one

for grilled squash.

Ingredients:

4 medium squash (any summer

squash will do)

2 cup melted butter

2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

salt and pepper to taste

Preheat grill for medium heat. Cut

squash into 4 inch to2 inch thick

slices. Brush squash with butter and

season liberally with cinnamon. Grill

squash slices for 5 to 10 minutes per

side, until they reach the desired

tenderness. Turn occasionally

to prevent sticking or burning.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper

to taste.

HeirloomTomatoes Holcombgrows 50 different

tomato varieties.

Holcomb and his family

enjoy eating them by

taking a slice and

layering with fresh

mozzarella cheese.

They drizzle it with

olive oil, and sprinkle

with fresh herbs, salt

and pe pper.

Mixed GreensOne of the Holcomb familys favorite recipes is

for greens. Wash the greens well, and arrange

a handful, with the stems lined up. Roll each

bundle of leaves like a cigar. Use a sharp knife

and cut them into inch slices, including the

stems. Put the slices in a pot with no water and

place on stove on medium heat. The natural

water in the greens will come out and they will

cook down. Once they cook down about half

way (approximately 5 minutes) remove from

stove and pour out the juice. Return to stove

and add olive oil, salt, and pepper and saut

until they are bright green and still crunchy.

Add garlic, onions or vinegar, to taste. Holcomblikes to add hot pepper flakes, too.

Christine Tenekjian was bored with buying the samefruits and vegetables week after week. As a Duke Dietand Fitness Center clinical dietitian, Tenekjian knows

that eating produce is key to a healthy diet.I had to step out of my box to try something new,

Tenekjian said.

She did, and it led her to another kind of box onefilled with an assortment of colorful, fresh produce.

Last year, Tenekjian signed up for the Duke MobileFarmers Market, an initiative through Live For Life, Dukesemployee health program. Every week, she picked up hershare from WeatherHand Farm at the Sarah P. DukeGardens. Over the fall and winter, Tenekjian signed up withCoon Rock Farm the only farm that offered produceduring colder months. The farm, outside Hillsborough, isrun by Richard Holcomb and his family.

There was always something different in the box,Tenekjian said. I like the idea of the farmer choosing theproduce for me. Whenever I got something new, it was anice challenge. I looked up recipes and learned how to cook

things like turnips, kohlrabi and a variety of leafy greens.Now Im better equipped to tell my clients how to preparedifferent vegetables.

Eight farmers are participating in this years mobilemarket. Their produce, share size and prices vary.

DUKE POSTAL CLERK DELIVERS POSITIVE MESSAGES

e mployee spotlight

Bobby Laws lifted a large plastic mail bin and headed

into the Academic Advising Center.My route has the friendliest people on campus,

said Laws, as he handed envelopes to Francie Sweet, a

program coordinator with the Peer Tutoring Program.

Although Laws typically delivers mail on East Campus,

he covers other campus routes, too.

Ive been in almost every building at Duke, said

Laws, 34, who joined Duke Postal 10 years

ago. One of the coolest things about my job

is I get to explore campus and meet a lot of

interesting people. Its never boring.

In recent months, Laws upbeat attitude

has become more known at Duke with his

new motivational book, The Positive Flow:Your life can be so much more! published

by Outskirts Press. The book is available

online and at select bookstores, including

Dukes Gothic Bookstore, where it was a

bestseller for a week last December.

Laws, also pastor of Pilgrim Baptist of

Oxford Ministries, penned the 170-page book because he

wanted to achieve his longtime aspiration of writing and

encouraging others to pursue their dreams.

One of my fears in life was that Id leave this world

without maximizing my potential, he said. I had wanted

to write a book for a while, but I didn't feel as though I

was ready until recently. I believe that our passions andcreativity are gifts we should all cherish and share.

Laws book offers tips about maintaining a positive

outlook such as, Its not the obstacles in your life that willstop you from achieving goals; itll be your attitude.

During seven months of writing, Laws received

support from co-workers and customers along his Duke

Postal route. Stacey Meyers, a Kenan Institute for Ethics

staff assistant, proofread his manuscript and offered

suggestions about expanding personal anecdotes. And the

book cover was illustrated for no charge by Jonathan Slone,

a former Duke Postal employee.

A few weeks later Jon got a call from a publishing

company and now hes working there, Laws said. Thats a

real-life example of how being positive and doing positive

things can help your life flow in the right direction.

Rosa Whitworth dreaded pay day.Its not that she didnt like getting

paid; its that the distribution of

direct deposit statements alwayscame at a bad time.

I didnt like having to stopmy work to sign for my paystatement, said Whitworth, amedical technologist II in theDuke Outpatient Clinical Lab.And I had all these bluepieces of paper all over theplace.

So when Whitworthdiscovered she could go to a newDuke self-service Web site to viewher pay statements dating back to2002, she chose to discontinue receivingpaper statements, an option available throughthe site. Whitworth was part of a pilot for the site, andshe now receives an e-mail notice every pay day to let herknow that her pay statement is available online.

Duke@Work, which was introduced broadly to allfaculty and staff in mid-February, is a secured site thatoffers the ability to log in using NetID and password toview personnel information. In addition, faculty and staffcan perform a wide variety of transactions, such asupdating home and work addresses, viewing paystatements, signing up for direct deposit, changing bankaccounts or deductions, viewing retirement plan balancesand enrolling for certain benefits.

Clint Davidson, vice president for Human Resources,said consolidating information on the site and providing

direct access to faculty and staff will helpensure records remain accurate and up

to date.

In the past, you would haveto search for multiple Web sites

from different departments atDuke or visit the physicallocations for some of thesedepartments to access andupdate the informationavailable on Duke@Work,he said. Having the ability

to review and make changesdirectly will streamline

administrative processes and alsoreduce the potential for errors from

multiple points of data entry.Donald Gillard, communication

center operator in the Office of InformationTechnology, used the site to check his home address andfound that the address did not include his apartmentnumber. With a few quick key stokes, he changed that.

Its possible that I was not receiving some Duke mailat home because my address was not complete, he said.I think its real convenient. I was also able to change mywithholdings without having to complete a form and takeit down to Human Resources.

Plans to add information and functional capability arealready in the works. Eventually, Duke@Work will be theone-stop-shop to allow faculty and staff to enroll in

benefits, renew parking permits, and access retirementaccounts and tools.
