Dr. Esperat, Dr. Du Feng, Lynda Billings and Gloria Valdez received a $1.5 million grant from the US Dept of Agriculture. This is a competitive three year research grant which focuses on childhood obesity in Lubbock and El Paso. The project is called “Transformacion Para Salud” – “Transformation for Health” and will study a population of East Lubbock and El Paso students in kindergarten through third grade. An interdisciplinary team of researchers from School of Medicine and Colleges of Human Sciences will be joining the SON research team in conducting the study.

Kenneth Ketner had a paper published; “Charles Sanders Peirce: Physicist and Nonphilosopher,” WORLD PHILOSOPHY (Beijing, Peoples Republic of China) 2005 number 6: pages 105-110. The paper had been previously read at the Sino-American Conference on Peirce, Beijing, 1-2 June 2005. [Back to Top]
Only thing is, I can’t read my own paper since it is in Chinese. A native Chinese colleague, Liuwha Zhang, translated it for me, read it in Beijing, then reported he was asked by their biggie journal if they could publish it. All I had to do was write it – didn’t have to travel to China to read the paper and catch the chicken flu.
