Professor uses original methods, wins 'outstanding teacher' award
On April 11, one of Missouri Southern's own will be honored with the Governor's Outstanding Teacher Award in a ceremony at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
James Gray, professor of Business Administration, recently learned of his award, and as the date approaches still follows the same principles he installed in his first class in 1969.
"I'm honored," he said. "After being in administration and go back into the classroom, to receive this award, I'm honored and appreciative."
Gray served as dean of the school of business from 1990 to 2001. He also served as an interim dean for one year as well. But something happened in 2002 to make Gray return to the classroom.
"The school of business has endured tremendous progress in the area of academics," Gray said.

Reed evolves to go with the flow
SIR CRISPIN DAVIS is a bit of a smoothie. Appropriate, then, that Reed Elsevier, the publishing group he has run for the past seven years, has made a suitably smooth transition to an online world. The company has mostly avoided the digital storms that have battered media companies as varied as ITV, EMI and Trinity Mirror. Reed’s leading positions in science, legal and business publishing — it owns The Lancet, Lexis Nexis and Estates Gazette — have enabled it to secure a steady increase in online revenues from its sophisticated professional and academic customers. Electronic sales have grown from $1.1 billion (£600m) in 1999, when Davis took over as chief executive, to an estimated $3.7 billion last year. The only real blots on Davis’s copybook have been the problems at Harcourt, the group’s textbook and testing business.
Never too old for camp
Eddie Bonilla, 20, knows a secret: Just because you're too old to go to camp doesn't mean you can't work at one and still spend the summer canoeing, swimming and riding horses. "My parents enrolled me in camp when I was 10 years old," said Bonilla, who lives in Deltona. "I loved it so much I kept coming back." When Bonilla turned 16, counselors at YMCA's Camp Winona in DeLeon Springs asked him to join the camp's leadership program. "I was getting a little bit too old for camp, but I still wanted to go," he said. Now a student at Daytona Beach Community College, Bonilla will return to Camp Winona again this summer as a leadership director. He will be the one training and supervising 66 counselors. It may be just early April, but it's time to start lining up camp jobs for the summer.

Commentary: Consensus difficult to find on piracy's effects on ...
The news this week that EMI Group, the world's third-largest music company, struck a deal with Apple to offer its online music free of copying restrictions may look like a major gamble. After all, anti-piracy technology was placed on legal digital downloads to prevent further erosion of the ailing U.S. music market, which has seen a nearly 30 percent decline in album shipments since 2000 as well as a loss of about $3 billion in annual sales. .
