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.
