Among the chemistry books and science articles spread throughout professor Karen Stevens’ office, another passion of hers becomes clearly evident. The native Wisconsinite is a die-hard Green Bay Packers fan.

As short as six months ago, junior Sara Jackson Holman never dreamed of having near-completed her very own record album.
Under Expunged Records’ guidance, Holman is on the tail-end of an unpredicted journey. Watch the video below to see more. (original link site)
I also did another multimedia piece several weeks ago: “The Tuner“
"People don't realize how close they are to becoming homeless," Sid Underwood (right), 19, said. Both Underwood and Leonard Costa (left), 19, have both been homeless for six years. Underwood said she has become accustomed to street life.
…but I was saved by a former street kid who was with me (note to self: don’t ask personal questions to an intoxicated homeless man that is about twice your size).
Last week I spent an accumulated 14 hours on the streets of downtown Spokane to talk to homeless teens. After spending a week researching on the subject, I thought it was about time that I got face to face time with the actual subjects at hand.
Needless to say, appearances can be deceiving. One lesson I learned from this whole experience is that you really can’t judge homeless teens based on appearances.
They might look intimidating or rough around the edges, but during my time talking to youth living on the streets, they were for the most part open to talk about their experiences.
The past week and a half have been an eye-opening experience for me. After seeing homeless teens see their world, a lot of things in my life seem trivial.
I’ll never take for granted the luxury of sleeping in a warm, soft bed every night.

Not many college studnts would be too excited to have a parent as their roommate. But freshman Ryan Sutherland does not mind. Steve Sutherland, Ryan’s father, is back to college for a second time. Not to earn a degree, but to take care of his son, who has Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
As promised:
1. Part two of the porn series I worked on is now available at Whitworthian.com. Part two is also split into three stories, addressing Internet filters: individual’s constitutional limits at private institutions, the filter implemented at Whitworth and it’s effectiveness.
2. The multimedia on “Hakka: the art of intimidation” post I made earlier is also available below. Click here for portraits of the Hakka men via Flickr.
For the past week I’ve been working on part one of a three-part series about porn for my newspaper. The following is the introduction of that series:
The auto-industry isn’t the only business that is hurting in the economic recession – the porn industry is too. Two adult-entertainment moguls asked the federal government for $5 billion in bailout funds back in January, according to the LA Daily News.
Despite the impact the economy has had on the industry, pornography is still being consumed.
Web pages with adult content online are estimated in the hundreds of millions and the porn business generates $12 billion annually – more than Hollywood, MLB, NBA and NFL combined, according to CNN in 2006. And a BBC news story in 2000 reported at least 200,000 people in the U.S. are considered “porn addicts.”
With pornography becoming more readily available, and a lot of the time free of charge, the topic of “porn addiction” has increasingly gained prominence.
