Fake Press Release
For the first time, professionals will explore both commercial and citizen reporting in virtual worlds on April 6 at the Edward R. Murrow College of Communication, WSU, Pullman, Wash.
A partnership between Washington State University and the McCormick Foundation will gather leading technology executives and journalists to explore the recent rise of media outlets and distribution within 3D virtual world spaces.
"These emerging 3D spaces offer fascinating new opportunities for storytelling. And as the traditional, newspaper-based world of journalism looks for appropriate new ways to provide the vital checks and balances vital to democracy, this event will provide a very significant catalyst for innovation," Erica Austin, the interim dean of the Edward R. Murrow College of Communication said.
Virtual journalism refers to the phenomena of news reporting within a 3D online space, such as Second Life or Club Penguin.
Both Second Life founder Philip Rosedale and Club Penguin co-founder Lane Merrifield will be among the 8 presenters at the event.
ThinkBalm co-founder Erica Driver, a veteran technology analyst, will present recent research findings on "The Immersive Internet."
Also, Lila King, CNN.com senior producer, will share her experiences with bringing CNN's i-Reports citizen journalism platform to Second Life.
Bernhard Drax, an award-winning virtual world reporter and musician, will share his thoughts on the future of reporting in and around the metaverse from a blogger’s perspective.
"We're excited to bring together many of the leaders in technology and journalism to discuss and explore this new media channel for storytelling. These and other emerging forms of digital news distribution offer both promise and potential for our students and for the future of journalism," Elson S. Floyd, WSU’s president said.
Edward R. Murrow College of Communication is highly regarded nationwide by educators and professionals. It is the only program in the Northwest that offers sequences in all six communication fields.
The McCormick Foundation is one of the nation’s largest charities, with $1.2 billion in assets. It is a nonprofit organization committed to strengthening our free, democratic society by investing in children, communities and country.
"The McCormick Foundation is proud to partner with Brett Atwood and WSU's Edward R. Murrow College. Our reporting institutes are designed to be timely, engaging and insightful. This event should certainly fulfill our expectations and serve as a valuable learning platform for the participating journalists," Clark Bell, McCormick Foundation's director of the Journalism Program said.

Feature Story
Intramural Sports – Trend Feature Story
Kerry Gugliotto
kerbear732@yahoo.com
Headline:
WSU Intramural Leagues Remain Popular
Summary:
“Not many high school athletes have both the skills and drive to play at the college level,” Dmitry Babayev, a junior at WSU said. “Playing sports, being competitive and a part of a team was something I loved during high school, but thought I would have to do without in college.”
Almost every weekend Babayev puts on a uniform and plays on a team without the sacrifices of playing at the college level. This is his third year playing intramural sports at WSU.
“It is the best of both worlds,” he said. “I get to be competitive and play the sports I love while having time to be a normal college student.”
Babayev is among many to discover intramural sports at WSU. Each year 5,500–6,000 WSU students participate in at least one sport, and this has remained fairly consistent from year to year, said Dave Pearson an assistant director for the University Recreation Center in charge of competitive sports, special events and youth programs.
“WSU remains one of the largest intramural programs in the nation for a school this size and as of the last check, the second largest in the Pac-10 despite being one of the smaller Pac-10 schools,” said Jeff Elbracht, the associate director for the University Recreation Center. “Nearly 50 percent of students participate in some type of intramural activity while at WSU.”
“The program is run pretty well and there are always a lot of participants,” Babayev said.
The UREC’s current Playfield Improvement Project to improve the Valley Road Playfields will benefit intramural sport participants, Sarah Driscoll, a chair member of the UREC advisory board said.
The Valley Road Playfields are the second most utilized UREC facility and has 25,000 scheduled users, Elbracht said.
The new field will be made of field turf. This will allow it to be used year round as well as conserve the 13 million gallons of water and 450 gallons of fuel it takes each year to maintain the current playfields, Elbracht said. Usage of the fields is anticipated to double because of these improvements.
During the 6 months of construction, intramural participants will have fewer locations to play, and the board does not want to limit the amount of students who can participate, Driscoll said.
“Games are likely to run later into the night,” she said. “They might go as late as 1 a.m.”
The board met with WSU’s Service and Activity Fee Committee last month to discuss funding for the project.
“The Service and Activity Committee has recently pledged to support the project which will allow for the completion of the design and the solicitation of the formal bids on the construction project,” Elbracht said. “Once formal bids are received the request will be done to the Service and Activity Committee for the exact amount needed to fund the project.”
Including design, construction and equipment the most the project will cost is $10.9 million. The current economy may allow UREC to get cheaper construction bids, Elbracht said.
Student fees will not increase because of this project, Driscoll said.
Construction should start in June 2010 and the estimated completion date is December 2010, Elbracht said.

Political Story - Edited
Kerry Gugliotto
Sen. Patty Murray included $1 million for transmission grid research and development at WSU in the 2010 Energy and Water Development appropriations bill.
The Senate passed the bill Oct. 15, by a vote of 80-17.
President Barack Obama is expected to sign the bill into law soon, Eli Zupnick, Murray’s deputy press secretary, said.
“Our nation’s transmission system is badly aged and vulnerable to disruptions,” Zupnick said in a press release. “WSU researchers are working to develop faster, more advanced technologies that will ensure the stability of the power grid.”
WSU’s specialty is creating computer and communication systems that allow the power grid to function in real time and increase efficiency, reliability and stability, said Anjan Bose, a co-principal investigator and Regents professor in the College of Engineering and Architecture.
The technology helps avoid and anticipate major blackouts as well as incorporating renewable sources of energy such as wind and solar, Bose said. The grant will be used to create a platform to simulate the behavior of the large grid to test the computer and control algorithms being developed for the smart grid.
“This platform should be running in about a year,” Bose said.
Other professors from the College of Engineering and Architecture - Dave Bakken, Carl Hauser and Mani Venkatasubramanian - will work with Bose as the other co-principal investigators for the transmission grid research and development.
“The success of efforts to upgrade the national electric grid to a so-called ‘smart grid’ depends heavily on the research being performed here at WSU by Dr. Anjan Bose and his team,” WSU President Elson Floyd said in a press release.
Last year, the professors received a similar grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, and with a team of graduate students, research associates and postdoctoral fellows, they started researching and developing this summer, Bose said. They are having the first of many meetings with the DOE on Monday.
WSU has also been working with local companies like Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc., and Avista Corp. on similar projects.
Improving the electric grid to smart grid technology is a national focus, and an initiative for the smart grid was included in the $819 billion stimulus package passed by the House of Representatives on Jan. 28.
Avista has paired with other regional partners, such as Battelle, and proposed implementing smart grid technology through the Pacific Northwest Smart Grid Demonstration Project. The project would make Pullman the region’s first smart grid community to be followed by the rest of the Northwest. The companies hope to get matching stimulus money from the DOE to pay for the total implementation cost of $178 million.
If approved, this would create benefits for students as well as Avista customers, Avista spokesman Hugh Imhof said.
Avista customers’ rates would remain the same, but new technologies, like a smart-meter, would allow consumers to better control and cut down their usage and essentially save them money, Imhof said.
“People don’t realize how much they can save by making a few adjustments,” he said.
WSU is one of the multiple partners that would participate in the smart grid project for Pullman, and the university already has a lot of interaction with Avista, Imhof said.
“We are very interested in electrical engineers because they are important for the future of power systems, so working with WSU is a great opportunity for both Avista and WSU students,” Imhof said.
