In the early hours of the morning, Chip Kelly changed his mind. When heads hit pillows on both coasts, Oregon’s Kelly, fresh off his third straight B.C.S. berth – and first win – was nearly signed, sealed and delivered to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Nearly, of course is key: as with recruiting, nothing is official until signatures meet dotted lines. For as far as Kelly’s discussions moved along with Tampa Bay, his cursive script never met the bottom of a contract; perhaps there’s hope after all, thought a portion of the Oregon fan base, as heads hit pillows.

Professor Christina Schwenkel of the anthropology department recently received a National Endowment for the Humanities fellowship to facilitate further work on her new book, “Revitalizing the City: Socialist Architecture, Postwar Memory, and Urban Renewal in Vietnam.” Professor Schwenkel’s research concentrates on the city of Vinh in north central Vietnam, which was virtually destroyed during the “American War,” and where she lived in an East German-built socialist tenement (Quang Trung) between September 2010 and May 2011. During her time in the housing blocks, she became completely immersed in its culture– eating, drinking, and living among the people, making friends, and compiling the story of their community.

The ORs in Rushs new hospital building contain advanced communication features such as video conferencing.

Ear, nose and throat surgeon Dr. Guy Petruzzelli spent more time than he’s accustomed to in the operating room Monday morning during one of the first surgeries at the Tower, Rush University Medical Center’s new hospital. Not only didn’t he mind the extra time spent in the room, he considers it a giant step forward in patient care.

In one of the approximately 60 operations in the brand-new operating rooms at the Tower that day, Petruzzelli used a robotic procedure to remove a small tumor from the back of a patient’s throat. This re
