Douglas was the 2000 and 2001 Big Ten Player of the Year, and was named the 2001 Big Ten Female Athlete of the Year. A two-time All-Big Ten pick, Douglas is one of six Purdue players under Curry to earn fi rst team all-conference honors. Shereka Wright, now an assistant on Curry’s staff at Tech, was the 2000 USA Today and Gatorade High School Player of the Year out of Copperas Cove, Texas, and fi nished her four-year career under Curry as Purdue’s second all-time leading scorer. Following her senior season, in which she led the Big Ten in scoring in conference games, Wright earned fi rst team honors on the inaugural Wooden Women’s All-America Team. Lubbock native Erika Valek, a four-year starting point guard for the Boilermakers, capped her career by winning the Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award as the nation’s top player under 5-foot-8. The on-court success of her teams has carried over into the classroom as well. Twenty-four times her student-athletes received Academic All-Big Ten distinction since 2000. Every Boilermaker who fi nished her playing career at Purdue during Curry’s tenure graduated. Curry began her coaching profession in her home state of Louisiana as she started at the prep level at Weston (1988-90) and Mansfi eld (1990-91) high schools.

Offi cers responded to a call at 12:12 p.m. indicating a man had been stabbed in the neck. He was found in the shower, and paramedics brought him to Shands at UF, Maj. Brad Barber said. Barber added he could not com- ment on the condition of the student, whose name was not released due to the sensitivity of the circumstance. Offi cers originally believed someone attacked the stu- dent, but after interviews with people at the scene, UPD concluded he tried to take his own life, Barber said. The department doesn’t expect to fi le any criminal charges. One student said when he went to take a shower around 10 a.m. Wednesday, the bathroom fl oor was fl ooded when he walked in and another shower was run- ning. When he later left the bathroom, the water was still running, but he merely thought it odd, not dangerous. Rachel Crosby / Alligator He did not look in the stall.

JOSH: We are here to discuss season one, episode five, “The Crackpots and These Women”. It originally aired on October 20th, 1999. This episode was written by Aaron Sorkin; it was directed by Anthony Drazan, who among other things directed the 1998 film version of David Rabe’s Hurlyburly, the play on which it was based having been mentioned in episode one of our podcast. We’re coming full circle. HRISHI: Our guest today is writer and producer Eli Attie.

  • Reality Is Broken a Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World E JANE Mcgonigal
    Reality Is Broken a Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World E JANE McGONIGAL THE PENGUIN PRESS New York 2011 ADVANCE PRAISE FOR Reality Is Broken “Forget everything you know, or think you know, about online gaming. Like a blast of fresh air, Reality Is Broken blows away the tired stereotypes and reminds us that the human instinct to play can be harnessed for the greater good. With a stirring blend of energy, wisdom, and idealism, Jane McGonigal shows us how to start saving the world one game at a time.” —Carl Honoré, author of In Praise of Slowness and Under Pressure “Reality Is Broken is the most eye-opening book I read this year. With awe-inspiring ex­ pertise, clarity of thought, and engrossing writing style, Jane McGonigal cleanly exploded every misconception I’ve ever had about games and gaming. If you thought that games are for kids, that games are squandered time, or that games are dangerously isolating, addictive, unproductive, and escapist, you are in for a giant surprise!” —Sonja Lyubomirsky, Ph.D., professor of psychology at the University of California, Riverside, and author of The How of Happiness: A Scientific Approach to Getting the Life You Want “Reality Is Broken will both stimulate your brain and stir your soul. Once you read this remarkable book, you’ll never look at games—or yourself—quite the same way.” —Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and A Whole New Mind “The path to becoming happier, improving your business, and saving the world might be one and the same: understanding how the world’s best games work.
