He was 75. Murphy was found unconscious on his office floor by a co-worker at about 11 a.m., according to police. Rescue workers tried to revive him for about 30 minutes at the scene before he was pronounced dead by the medical examiner. Murphy's teaching career at the university began in 1946. He received the Institute of Technology Alumni Distinguished Teaching Award in 1967 and the Society of Automotive Engineers Teeter Award for Distinguished Teaching in 1975. He was one of the founding members of the Twin Cities Section of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and was elected to the SAE board of directors from 1979 to 1981 and 1985 to 1987. Murphy received bachelor's and master's degrees from the university and worked as a university instructor from 1941 to 1944 before serving in the Navy, where he helped develop and test some of the most advanced naval aircraft engines used in World War II. He returned to the university in 1946 and focused his teaching and research on applied thermodynamics with special emphasis on gas turbines and internal combustion engines. Murphy retired in June 1989 and has since had professor emeritus status.

The university is among 10 to receive 1993-94 Investigator Awards in Health Policy Research from the foundation. The awards enable "a select number of highly qualified people" to seek creative solutions to problems affecting health care and health care policy. A total of 183 grant applications were submitted under this program. In his project, Democracy, Leadership and Health Reform, Jacobs will explore four questions: • How do Americans feel about health care reform, and are their feelings having any impact on the policy-makers? • How is the media covering the debate? Are they leading or misleading the public? • What's happening in Congress? • What is the Clinton administration saying? Is it changing as the debate ensues? Jacobs' co-investigator on the project is Columbia University associate political science professor Robert Y. Shapiro. "Public opinion is obviously having an impact now, as policy-makers debate the ~road principles of health reform," said Jacobs. "The next question is, will public opinion matter when -it comes to the nitty-gritty specifics of policy-making, such as how providers should be reimbursed, or what procedures should be covered? We are pleased to get this generous grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to follow this part of the health care debate." The Princeton-based Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is the largest private philanthropy devoted to improving health and health care in the United States.

Weaver, dean of the University of Minnesota College ofPharmacy from 1966 to 1984, will serve the university again by becoming the college's interim dean Jan. 22. Weaver, a pharmacology specialist, will succeed Robert Cipolle, who has been interim dean since 1992. Mter he left the university in 1984, Weaver was vice president for professional relations of the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association in Washington, D.C., until 1989. While at the association, Weaver was responsible for outreach efforts with pharmacy professional organizations. "Dr. Weaver is one of the university's finest citizens, and we are deeply indebted to him for his willingness to add this major assignment to his very busy and productive life at a time when we need him most," said Richard P. Elzay, deputy vice president for health sciences and dean of the School ofDentistry. "We heartily welcome him back to the university and the College of Pharmacy." Weaver received a bachelor of science degree in pharmacy from Drake University in 1949 and a doctorate in pharmacology from the University ofUtah in 1953. Before coming to the university in 1966, he held various research and development positions at the Pitman-Moore Division ofDow Chemical Co.

History's first optical. communication system relied on the human eye, which can detect about 25 light flashes per second before the images blur together, as in a movie. In contrast, modem optical telecommunications systems use electronic "eyes" to "read" light signals at speeds of 2 billion per second. But a group led by Steve Chou, a University ofMinnesota electrical engineering professor, has designed and built silicon-based devices that can read up to 110 billion signals per second-an advance that can potentially make fiber optic communications 50 times faster. The devices' speed was measured by a group led by Thomas Hsiang, an electrical engineering professor at the University of Rochester and senior scientist at Rochester's Laboratory for Laser Energetics. Using today's technology, transmitting the contents of the Library ofCongress via phone line would take two weeks; the new technology could cut the time to only eight hours. It would also allow fax machines to work much faster, with implications best left to the imagination. Fiber-optical communications require both a source ofthe light pulses that carry infonnation and a photodetector to "read" the pulses and translate the signals from optical to electrical form. Thus photodetectors playa pivotal role in modern technologies, including telecommunications, multimedia, CD players and supennarket checkouts. Such fast detectors are urgently needed as fiber optic communication technology explodes into the era of multimedia services and devices, Chou said. "Creating photodetectors that are significantly faster will greatly speed up the explosion," he said. For example, fiber-optic lines will be extended to homes and businesses to handle the increased infonnation load, and the demand for technologies to quickly pass the infonnation will skyrocket The device consists ofan interlocking grid of gold "fingers" sitting atop a silicon chip. When light slips through the grid and hits the silicon, electrons are freed, generating an electrical signal that light has been detected. ------. I I l 1 ''The secret ofdesigning and fabricating such fast photodetectors is miniaturization," Chou said .'1 I "When the spacing between the fingers becomes very small, it will take very little time for electrons to generate a signal." To make the detector so small, Chou's group developed a special type ofelectton­ beam lithography machine that acts as a very sharp pen to carve out the fine features ofthe detectors.

  • Ethics for Digital Journalists
    ETHICS FOR DIGITAL JOURNALISTS The rapid growth of online media has led to new complications in journalism ethics and practice. While traditional ethical principles may not fundamentally change when information is disseminated online, applying them across platforms has become more challenging as new kinds of interactions develop between jour- nalists and audiences. In Ethics for Digital Journalists , Lawrie Zion and David Craig draw together the international expertise and experience of journalists and scholars who have all been part of the process of shaping best practices in digital journalism. Drawing on contemporary events and controversies like the Boston Marathon bombing and the Arab Spring, the authors examine emerging best practices in everything from transparency and verifi cation to aggregation, collaboration, live blogging, tweet- ing, and the challenges of digital narratives. At a time when questions of ethics and practice are challenged and subject to intense debate, this book is designed to provide students and practitioners with the insights and skills to realize their potential as professionals. Lawrie Zion is an Associate Professor of Journalism at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, and editor-in-chief of the online magazine upstart. He has worked as a broadcaster with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and as a fi lm journalist for a range of print publications. He wrote and researched the 2007 documentary The Sounds of Aus , which tells the story of the Australian accent. David Craig is a Professor of Journalism and Associate Dean at the University of Oklahoma in the United States. A former newspaper copy editor, he is the author of Excellence in Online Journalism: Exploring Current Practices in an Evolving Environ- ment and The Ethics of the Story: Using Narrative Techniques Responsibly in Journalism .
