eBook Price Fixing
By Amanda Daly, DeVry
Gazettete Administration on
July 19, 2013
The eBook market has
grown over 150% in the last
few years, and with that
expansion of demand comes
the encroachment of supply.
When Apple jumped on the
band wagon for this product,
Amazon books, with the
Kindle, was already well
established. Their average
price for an eBook was $9.99.
This extremely low price
would have been a major hit
to other companies
developing. Any company
would experience pecuniary
damages, in other words, they
would lose money. Within the
last few months, many class
action suits have been
launched against Apple Inc. in
regards to their eBook
Thursday August 28, 2014
practices. However, these
suits were after the launch of
an antitrust investigation
against the corporation.
Because of this, it is alleged
that Apple conspired with
multiple publishers to price
fix. This process is defined as
“The conspiring by two or
more firms to set the price of
their products; an illegal
practice under the Sherman
Act,” (McConnell, 2012). The
reason for this suspicion is
that multiple publishers
changed their pricing
regulation so that Amazon
Books would have to raise
prices, and thus allow other
companies, Google, Apple, and
Barnes and Noble’s NOOK to
be bigger players in the game.
Amazon, and Kindle, their
eBook reader, was once the
sole eBook distributor,
otherwise known as a
monopoly, but with the price
change, and the introduction
of other products and eBook
providers, the market for
eBooks became an oligopoly
(Pike, 2012). Monopolies are
not always a bad thing,
especially when a natural
monopoly occurs, such as
power companies. Because
startup costs are so high, it is
natural that once one power
company is established, they
are the only ones to service
their area. This is good
because as the company
grows larger, the utility costs
will lessen translating to less
expensive consumer energy
costs. However, when there is
a monopoly by unnatural
means, via power plays and
illegal activity, there is very
little good to come of it. One
reason for this is whomever
uses such methods for their
own gain, has no qualms
about boosting their product
simply because there is no
competition.

181th Oktoberfest
By Narjis Momodu, DeVry
Gazettete Staff on August 10,
2014
MUNICH, GERMANY- It is
Oktoberfest a time which
means beer, beer and more
beer.
The Oktoberfest, also
referred as “Wiesn” by the
locals, is the largest fair with a
large stage of authentic
German beer. This Bavarian
cultural celebration takes
place annually from
September 20 – October 5th in
Munich, Germany.
The first Oktoberfest in
Munich started in 1812, to
celebrate the marriage of
Crown Prince Ludwig and
Princess Therese of SaxonyHildburghausen. In honor of
the new-wed princess it was
named Theresienwiese, which
Thursday August 28, 2014
means Theresia’s meadow.
The festival always ended
with a horse race and was
decided to repeat each year.
Today the horse race is no
longer held anymore, but it
still takes place on the
Theresienwiese (Wiesn) in
Munich.
This area turns into a
giant amusement park where
Munich’s historic beer houses
serve their authentic German
beverage day and night. The
whole city of Munich
participates in the street
parade on the first Saturday of
the event, which includes
wagons of multiple beer
houses carrying barrels of
beer toward the area of
Theresienwiese, and is led by
the mayor, as well as a
traditional music band.
of the Oktoberfest; and
includes beer drinking;
oompah bands; and of course,
the brat- and knockwurst.
The main attraction
and most visited spots on the
Oktoberfest are the beer tents.
There are 14 large tents with
seats for up to 10,000 people.
People from all over the world
come and celebrate this event
in traditional Dindls for the
female, and lederhosen for the
male. This famous event is
also carried over to America.
A portion of the American
population claim to have
German ancestry, therefore
this fall festival is also popular
in many cities of America. USA

The Seeds of Love community garden,
staff contributed
By Sandi Sibona, DeVry
Gazettete Administration on
August 10, 2014
Nevada, Mo. – At the corner of
Walnut and Main Streets lies a
small plot of land with a big
purpose – to empower the
community of Nevada to be
proactive in their health and
care.
Six raised beds,
measuring 27 feet long, are
DeVry Gazette 110th Edition
planted with a variety of fruits
and vegetables. Along with
organizers Kelly Ast and
Rachel Hansen, volunteers
from area churches, youth
groups, social programs, and
senior centers tend to the
gardens with love and a sense
of purpose. Everyone lends a
hand weeding, pruning,
picking, and seeding. Laughter
and friendship abound when
it comes time to work.
Everyone is knee-deep in the
soil, getting their hands dirty
and working hard under the
beautiful blue skies.
Last week, a volunteer
gleefully picked a 14 ounce
Heirloom tomato from the
vine. Her sister found a 19
ounce cucumber hiding in the
next bed. The look of joy on
their faces was unforgettable.
They planted those seeds,
watered them week after
week; kept the beds free of
weeds, bugs, and trash; and
clipped them from the vine.
From beginning to end, these
two girls worked so hard, and
their reward was right there
in their hands.
Once in a while, the
volunteers are visited by
Master Gardeners. They come
in to lend their expertise,
answer questions and get
their hands dirty. Master
Gardener Barbara talked
Thursday August 28, 2014
about the differences between
the blooms on the squash
plants. She also showed how
to pollinate those blooms by
hand. Master Gardener Don
shared tips on how to control
weeds and bugs using only
organic methods.
The Seeds of Love
community garden is
partnered up with area farms.
Together, they donate the
produce that would normally
be cast off as “ugly”. “Ugly”
simply means that it isn’t
pretty enough to sell to
customers. This can include
lop-sided green bell peppers,
cracked tomatoes or scarred
pea pods. They are all
completely edible, but patrons
prefer produce that is more
pleasing to the eye. The
Community Outreach
Program happily accepts
these undesirables, and gives
them to families who cannot
afford to buy their own
produce.
After each harvest and
collection, the produce is
weighed. That number is then
added to the tally board. The
beginning goal was 10,000
pounds of food for the
Community Outreach
Program. As of the last weigh
in on July 31st, the total
pushed slightly over 7,000
pounds. At this rate, the Seeds
of Love community garden
and their partners will
surpass the original goal by
the end of September, two full
months ahead of schedule.
Everyone meets at the
garden weekdays at 9:00 AM.
All they ask for is an hour of
your time, once a week. On
August 7th, Rachel will be
hosting a nutritionist from the
University of Missouri.
Together, they will be
discussing how sugars can
disrupt your normal body
functions and how to combat
sugar cravings. They will
teach how to be label smart
when it comes to whole
grains.
Kelly Ast can be
reached at (417) 999-9999

Surreptitious
Reporting
By Adam Loomis, DeVry
Gazette Staff on| August 10,
2014
Surreptitious reporting
can be defined as secretive
and/or fraudulent behavior
that is done in a stealthy
manner. Undercover
reporting is a prime example
of surreptitious reporting,
although these terms are not
necessarily synonymous.
Deontologists, or absolutists,
would argue that secretive
reporting is deceitful behavior
and is unacceptable. Those
with a more situational
philosophy would argue that
surreptitious reporting is
sometimes necessary as a last
resort to expose vital
information to the public.
A prominent example
of recent illegal surreptitious
reporting is senior editor
Andy Coulson of News of the
World’s. The case was settled
on July 4th, 2014 with an 18
months prison sentence for
Coulson (Cowell & Bennhold,
Thursday August 28, 2014
2014). The court case
covered instances over the
last decade where Coulson
was involved with hiring a
private investigator to tap
private phone lines. The first
instance reportedly was that
of hacking into a voicemail of
Milly Dowler, a teenager who
was abducted and murdered.
Unsurprisingly, when this
news reached the public in
2011, it was met with disgust
and uproar. Two other News
of the World journalists, as
well as the investigator who
did most of the hacking
himself, were also given jail
time. According to the
prosecutors, 1,900 instances
of phone hackings occurred
under the News of the World’s
wings.
When looking at this
case of surreptitious
reporting, one must go back
to the question, “Does the end
justify the means?” In this
case, the reporters had no
public sympathy (or legal
leeway) in particular because
they were using suspicious
means to report on stories
that were not in real need of
uncovering. The phone
hackings reportedly started
with the aforementioned
abducted teenager and in
later cases may have targeted
family members of British
soldiers who gave their life in
the battle, as well as relatives
of victims of the 2005 London
terrorist attacks. Had the
phone hacking been used to
uncover some sort of illegal
behavior, government coverup or inside trading, Coulson
may have been justified in his
shady behaviors. This, of
course, is a situational
perspective, where one might
allow certain questionable
behaviors if they are “for the
greater good.” But regardless
of one’s philosophy, in this
case, News of the World
seemed to be up to no good.
First and foremost,
Coulson authorized illegal
actions. Voicemail and phone
lines are private property, and
tapping into them without
consent is a breach of others’
privacy. These reporting
methods are actually an
invasion of privacy, which is
punishable by law. In this
case, the judge found enough
evidence of illegal behavior to
give Coulson 18 months of jail
time. Others involved in the
case were given up to six
months in prison.
This example is also a
case of abusing and losing the
public’s trust. The News of the
World was at one point the
most read Sunday newspaper
in Britain, but was brought to
an abrupt close in 2011.
Rupert Murdoch, who owned
the paper for over 40 years
before shutting it down,
stated that the paper “had
been sullied by behavior that
was wrong”. This goes to
show that public perception
can swing quickly and
violently; a few poor decisions
from one journalist can
forever tarnish a publication.
DeVry Gazette 110th Edition
In the extreme case of the
News of World’s closing, the
200-plus employees of the
paper were suddenly jobless,
advertisers lost an outlet, the
owners must look for a new
publication, and those readers
that were still fans were
forgotten.
The abrupt closure of
the publication and many
months in prison could have
all been avoided if Andy
Coulson and his coworkers
had stuck to an ethical code.
It’s possible that The News of
the World did not have a
written code of ethics at all, or
they had one but many
ignored it. Perhaps if ethical
reporting was stressed
throughout the company and
brought up at staff meetings,
this would have been enough
to prevent unethical (and
illegal) behavior. Or, if the
paper had a better system of
checks and balances and
transparency, more people
would have been aware of the
problem and someone would
have put a stop to it.
However, this manner of
reporting is called
surreptitious for a reason, and
it is unlikely that many people
inside the company were
aware of Coulson’s methods.
In the future, we can
learn from this case not by
limiting freedom of press, but
by encouraging ethical
behaviors within companies.
This case should not deter
journalists from getting to the
bottom of important stories.
Thursday August 28, 2014
It should, however, spur
newspapers to establish or
revisit their own code of
ethics, and keep a check on
the methods that their
reporters are using to obtain
information. This will ensure
the media is allowed to freely
and fairly do the job of
keeping the government in
check, the public engaged, and
the news relevant.

United States Aids
Fleeing Yazidi Minority
By Amanda Daly, Devry
Gazette Administration on
July 19, 2013
The United States
Government has made a
humanitarian drop of vital
supplies on request of the
Iraqi Government after
Islamic State Group holds
siege against minority groups,
the Yazidi. In the beginning of
August the minority came
under attack by these
extremists. Thousands fled to
the mountains outside of
Sinjar where they have
currently found themselves
under a siege. The number of
causalities continues to rise as
the inhabitants run out of
food and water. It is believed
that there are over 50,000 of
the minority group hiding in
the hills and it is believed that
over half of that number
represents children.
This situation came to
be when the Islamic State
group began taking cities and
villages, the first being the
northern town Sinjar. Another
unholy act in a declared holy
war has been committed by
the Sunni this Friday with
confirmed reports that
hundreds of women are being
held captive in the city of
Mosul. Those captured
women belong to a minority
group called the Yazidi, and
stay guarded in school
buildings within the city
limits. Iraq’s Human Rights
Ministry spokesperson, Kamil
Amin, stated his belief on
what would happen to these
women. It is assumed that
they will be raped, sold, and
given as brides to extremist
members for their captor’s
benefit. The US confirmed this

years old, married with two

time for a

company. Kevin is currently
enrolled in college and
working towards a Bachelor’s
degree of Science in
Networking and

Management.
“I was working out of
my living room when I started
Sibona Computer Repair in
2010. My primary focus was
to help troubleshoot small
computer issues – disk cleanup, pc support, software and
hardware updates, etc. I have
since moved into networking,
hard drive backups, data
recovery, and custom
computer builds.”
Sibona Computer Repair is
Kevin’s first attempt at his
own company. It was started
as a necessity, of sorts.
Friends were coming to him,
begging for help with their
computers. At first, he refused
to charge for his services; he
was doing it for the
experience. Then, his friends
started giving his name out to
their friends and the calls
started. The phone was
ringing at all hours of the day
with varying emergencies. He
was still refusing payment for
services. It wasn’t until after
one of his customers
demanded to give him
payment, he politely agreed to
accept. He brought his
payment straight home to his
wife and they both had the
same idea-start a company!
Even if he was only available
on the weekends, it was worth
looking into.
“I quickly put together a price
list and built a website, I think
that it took only 20 minutes.”
The calls for help kept coming
in. He would go out to the
customers’ homes and fix
what they needed fixed and
come home with another
check. It just started building
from there. To date, Kevin has
just short of 20 customers.
They don’t call as often
anymore because he fixed
their issues with his last visits.
He still gets calls from new
customers needing assistance.
He was kind enough to sit
down with me and answer a
few questions.
DeVry Gazette 110th Edition
Thursday August 28, 2014
Sandi: When did you first
become interested in
computers?
Kevin: A few years ago. I
realized that food service
wasn’t where my passion was.
Kevin: I was about 12 years
old. I took a computer class in
middle school. We were
working with an Apple IIE. I
saw what computers could do
and I was hooked.
Sandi: Is that why you
enrolled in college? To get
your degree in something IT
related?
Sandi: What was your first
computer?
Kevin: It was a Tandy 1000EX
from Radio Shack. It had a 5
1/4” floppy drive, no mouse,
no modem, no hard drive, and
it had a 128K memory. I had
to use a disk to start it up. I
had to buy the monitor
separately. It was $300.00, I
worked all summer to pay for
it. It was so great!
Sandi: Did you always want to
be an IT guy?
Kevin: No. I wanted to be a
graphic artist when I was in
high school. That didn’t work
out because I couldn’t afford
college back then. I
discovered cooking and found
that I was good at it. I never
lost my fascination with
computers; it just got put on
the back burner, so to speak.
Sandi: When did you decide
to return to computers?
Kevin: Yes, I realized that to
be where I wanted to be and
do what I wanted to do with
computers, I needed a degree.
Sandi: Your degree goal is a
Bachelor’s of Science in
Networking and
Communications
Management? What are you
learning?
Kevin: How to build and
manage computer networks. I
will be able to help a business
develop, plan and build a
network that suits their needs
and manage it, so that it is
productive.
Sandi: That’s interesting!
When you are done with
college, do you want to work
for someone else for a while
or do you want to run Sibona
Computer Repair full time?
Kevin: I want to work for
someone else for a bit. The
education is nice, but I need
that actual working
experience. I will keep doing
repairs and fixes on the
weekends, like I do now, but
that guaranteed paycheck is
pretty helpful.
Sandi: With so many new
products and programs
coming out, how do you keep
up to date on everything?
Kevin: I read everything!
There are so many magazines,
websites and publications, it’s
kind of hard to not hear about
the latest and greatest. I also
talk to other computer guys
and we talk shop…a lot.
Sandi: What is your favorite
tech magazine?
Kevin: PC World, definitely. I
get all excited when my new

Sandi: What advice would
you give to someone looking
into the IT field?
Kevin: Learn everything you

Future Doctor Stephen
Gusse Tells
Inspirational Insights
By Julie Ordoñez, DeVry
Gazette Staff on July 19, 2013
Kissimmee, FL –
Stephen started when he was
very young thinking of
becoming a doctor but when
he entered his seventh grade
year he was determined to
become the doctor he always
wanted to be. Trying to follow
in his aunts footsteps he
searched for a doctor he knew
he could do great things in
and when a cardiovascular
surgeon popped up he knew
that that was his future, not to
mention the fact that he has
always been interested in
hearts and the annual income
was more than his eyes could
bare.
Although he says
money is not his reason for
becoming a cardiovascular
surgeon he does insist on it
being a big factor on why he
would want to keep this job
on his top list. He thinks that if
he is going to put his time and
effort and money into to 10+
years of schooling and
internships and struggles and
lots and lots of late nights he
wants it to pay off in the end
and as a cardiovascular
surgeon it completely does.
He also mentions how in the
Thursday August 28, 2014
long run he will doing so
much good, saving people and
helping families. He knows
that this is what he wants to
do and will enjoy doing his job
as much he enjoyed getting to
the top with all the struggle
and money he’s going to be
putting into it.
Mr. Gusse repeatedly
says how he would never
change his career out of being
a doctor maybe he would
consider changing into
another doctor but never
getting out of the doctor
industry. He says he has never
given it a second thought to
what other career he would
choose it hasn’t even crossed
his mind because he knows
he’s going to become a
cardiovascular surgeon. His
family has always given him
the support he has always
wanted and needed and that
was enough to keep him on
track to being a doctor and he
will never give up. He says “I
feel like if I was to do anything
else other than becoming a
doctor I would not be happy
with that career”.
When asked about
what he sees in his future he
says that life is always going
to be hard or something might
happen that you might not see
coming but the only thing that
you can hope for is that
everything goes by smoothly
and end up in a way that is
suitable for my family and
myself. All I want to do is
make my family happy and
comfortable and to do the
best I can for them and have
everything they might need.
And when he gets married he
hopes his wife will support
him 100%.
Somer Schrock, staff contributed
Midwest to Mountain
Town Ski School
By Adam Loomis, Devry
Gazette Staff on July 19, 2013
It’s the first weekend
in August, and Somer Schrock
is using the day to catch up on
homework. On Monday, it’s
back to school and afternoon
training – a normal week for
the students at the Winter
Sports School in Park City
Utah. Somer grew up in
Minneapolis, MN, but now
finds himself taking his Nordic
Combined career to a new
DeVry Gazette 110th Edition
level at the Winter Sports
School.
Schrock hopes to earn
a spot on the US Nordic
Combined Team one day. In
Nordic Combined, athletes
compete in ski jumping and
then finish the day with a
cross-country ski race. This
dual-discipline sport takes a
special kind of person, one
with guts for flying and the
drive to push their body to its
very max. It appears that this
mix of guts, and
determination are ideal for
making the leap from life in
Northern Minnesota to a
charter school in Park City.
Somer believes that this
school will help him achieve
his goals, and isn’t looking
back.
Schrock first thought
about moving out here this
January. By April, he was
attending his first classes at
the Winter Sports School.
Although locals usually
shorten the name to the
“Winter School,” it’s actually
the exact opposite of that.
The school year runs from
April to November. During
the four months “winter
break”, students can focus on
their skiing and snowboard
competitions without
worrying about missing any
Thursday August 28, 2014
school as they travel the
nation.
This unique schedule
was alluring for Schrock. He
was motivated to make the
move here “to get more
training and miss less school.”
Schrock also seems to enjoy
the switch to a smaller class
and school. He says he likes
knowing just about everyone
at the school. On the other
hand, he isn’t likely to meet
new students in a new term of
classes, like at Eden High.
There are also less
extracurricular activities here
compared to his old school.
But Schrock says that he sees
himself staying here through
graduation – two and a half
years from now.
Schrock says that the
hardest part about coming to
the Winter Sports School is
just being away from home.
To him, that’s tougher than
sitting in school all summer,
which he says is more of an
issue for the students that
grew up here. For Schrock,
his friends outside of the
school are so far away that he
doesn’t feel like he’s missing
out on the summer.
When speaking of the
academics of the school, he
gives out some applause. “It’s
gotten a good record so far,”
he says, and overall gives the
school the marks of “pretty
good overall.” Coming from a
16 year-old, that sounds like
pretty high praise. The
school, he says, is really well
run. The principle does a
great job of meeting everyone,
which is much different from
the reality of a big public
school.
Schrock thinks that the
small classes and the winters
off will improve his
academics. He’s relieved not
to have to worry about
missing so much school as in
his first year at Eden High.
Above all, the Winter
Sports School is a ski school,
and athletics are important.
Teachers are helpful and
understanding when students
need to miss school for a
training camp or fall
competition. Schrock says
that people can relate to him
more here, where being a
committed athlete in a fringe
sport is perfectly normal. This
sport-focus should be helpful
to Somer’s career. He thinks
that coming here will help
him become a better athlete,
which is, at the end of the day,
the real reason that he came
out to begin with.
Recorded Interview:
Me: Thanks for your time
Somer. I’d like to get an
inside scoop on your
transition into the Winter
DeVry Gazette 110th Edition
Sports School here and life
in Park City.
Somer: Ok
What was your past school?
Eden High, in Minnesota.
When did you first consider
moving to the Winter
School?
This January
And what motivated you to
switch?
To get more training and to
miss less school.
What is the best part about
attending the school?
Probably being around other
athletes and being at a smaller
school. Which is nice, you
know, kind of knowing
everyone.
Ok, what are the trade-offs
with the smaller school?
There’s less, well you’re not
going to meet new people
after a while, because you
kind of meet everyone.
So do you know everyone
already?
At least in my grade, and a lot
of people outside of it.
Thursday August 28, 2014
And there’s less
extracurricular activities and
not that many teachers.
Well we touched on this
already, but what’s the
worst part about the winter
school?
Probably being away from
home.
How is living in a ski town
compared to Wisconsin?
It’s a lot different; people can
relate to you a lot more. But
people aren’t as nice.
How different are your
friends/classmates here?
They’re a lot more outgoing, I
would say. And accomplished
as athletes.
Ok, what about as students?
There’s not as many really,
really good students, but
there’s not really any bad
students either. Everyone’s
closer to the same.
What do you miss about
home?
My friends and being familiar
with everything, the town.
And the lakes.
What do you think about
the level of teaching and
academics?
I think it’s pretty good right
now that we’re in core classes,
instead of like arts and stuff.
And I think it’s pretty good
overall.
OK, and how do you think
this will affect your athletic
career?
I think it will improve it,
because there’s way better
training facilities, and I won’t
have to be worried about
school in the winter while I’m
traveling. And I’ll graduate
sooner.
What else would you like to
share about Park City and
the Winter Sports School?
I think they should provide a
place for us to eat, and food,
like a cafeteria.
Ok, thank you Somer.
Who Cares for
the Caregiver?
By Demario Hankins, DeVry
Gazette Staff on| August 14,
2014
Jeffrey Lee Schatteman
is a Case Manager, Flight
Nurse, and Emergency
Department Trauma Nurse,
who has practiced for many
years. He started his career
after his service in the Army
in which he was drafted. He
went to a two year hospital
DeVry Gazette 110th Edition
based nursing program. Upon
his graduation, he took a job
in the Emergency
Department, working the
night shift as the only
Registered Nurse in the ER.
During this time of working in
the emergency room he
completed his Bachelor’s
degree. He was recruited to
San Diego by a major hospital
to manage the night shift and
work as an emergency room
nurse. He was tasked with the
caregiving for badly injured
patients after paramedics
wheeled them in throughout
the night. He had to restore
circulation, assist trauma
surgeons, and maintain the
health of the patients.
His positions at Sharp
Memorial Hospital included
Nurse Team Leader, Case
Manager, Charge Nurse in the
emergency room and overall
in charge of the emergency
room nurses. He took care of
gunshot wounds, broken
bones, airplane crash
incidents, cancer patients, and
mentally ill patients.
Programs at which Mr.
Schatteman taught were EMS
TA which still grows today in
Lakeside, California. He also
taught at Western College and
Grossmont College for adult
learners.
Thursday August 28, 2014
Jeffrey enjoyed the rewarding
opportunity to work with
other patients by seeing
smiling faces on family
members at the end of the
day. Knowing that he saved
someone’s life and impacted a
family member made him feel
better about himself. He has
been working for Sharp for
about 28 years now and as a
Flight Nurse for 10 years.
The most promotable
challenge of his job is
becoming a Flight Nurse, and
getting the opportunity to
work with the paramedics
was a thrilling experience.
The most memorable moment
of his career was a 16 year old
father, who beat his child to
death, walking into the
emergency room. Words
cannot explain the expression
on Jeffrey’s face and the other
nurses after seeing the child
who was black and blue from
head to toe. Jeffrey had some
sympathy for the father as he
realized that he was only a kid
trying to raise a kid, which all
added up. The fact the kid
was going to spend the rest of
his life in jail was the terrible
part, but it still serves no
purpose for what he did to his
child, which was unhumanlike.
What Mr. Schatteman does
not like about his job is the
expectation of serious
tragedies he experiences
daily, and having to deal with
these in an unemotional, and
unattached manner. Jeffrey
feels that caregivers like him
should have some sort of
support system which would
allow them to express their
feelings for the graphic nature
of their daily occupational
experiences. He feels it is
hard on them, at times, to deal
with these things, but he also
understands that he has a job
to do.
Jeffrey plans on paying back
the community by serving as a
resource, and counselor for
young adult learners who are
going into the nursing field. As
he reflects on his chosen
career path, he is motivated to
protect others from its
negative aspects.
Interview with Jeffrey Lee
Schatteman
Interviewer: Tell me your
name something about
yourself.
Interviewee: My name is
Jeffrey Lee Schatteman. I’m
62 years old. I have 1 child. I
went to a two year nursing
program straight out of the
Army in which I was drafted.
DeVry Gazette 110th Edition
I started immediately working
in an emergency room in
Illinois. Working in Illinois I
completed my Bachelor’s
degree in Nursing.
Interviewer: What did you do
for Sharp Memorial Hospital?
Interviewee: I worked in the
ER managing the night shift,
working in the trauma room
caring for badly injured
patients. After patients were
wheeled in by the paramedics
my job was to restore
circulation, assist trauma
surgeons, and maintained the
overall health of the patients.
Interviewer: What positions
did you hold?
Interviewee: I was a trauma
nurse team leader, case
manager, Charge Nurse in the
Emergency Room, and overall
duties required of any
emergency room nurse. I
took care of gun wounds,
broken bones, airplane
crashes, head injures patients,
cardiac arrest, respiratory
arrest, and death and dying
patients, cancer patients, and
mentally ill patients.
Interviewer: What programs
did you teach?
Interviewer: I developed the
curriculum for EMS TA in
Lakeside, Calfornia. I taught
Thursday August 28, 2014
at south western college. I did
some teaching at Grossmont
adult learning.
Interviewer: Did you enjoy
your job?
Interviewee: My job was very
rewarding. I had to take
patients and make sure they
were happy at the end of the
day. As long as I was doing
my job, I know I was saving
someone’s life. My position as
a nurse impacted lives of
families and loved ones.
Interviewer: How long were
you a nurse?
Interviewee: For about 28
years. I did flight nursing for
10 years.
Interviewer: Any other
promotions?
Interviewee: Flight nursing is
the most promotable job any
nurse can do. Taking care of
the most critically injured that
any paramedic would need
help with.
Interviewer: What was your
most memorable moment on
the job?
Interviewee: The most
memorable was a 16 year old
boy who beat his child to
death. He carried the child in
the emergency room. The
child was black and blue from
the neck to the ankles. I asked
the kid, “What the f*** did you
do to this child”. The kid
responded that he had done
nothing. The kid started to
cry, and then we called the
police. When we realized he
was crying, I looked and said
it’s a baby raising a baby.
Come to find out, the father
had taken the child by the
ankles and beat the child up
against the wall multiple
times to try to get him to stop
crying. All I was thinking is
that this child is going to
spend the rest of his life in jail
for having sex before he was
ready.
Interviewer: What do you not
like about your job?
Interviewee: As a care giver
this incident has haunted me
throughout my life. We as
caregivers are expected to be
unemotional, unattached to
this serious incident. This, in
my estimation, is an
impossible task to ask of
anyone. We as nurses should
have some type of support,
stress relief and appreciation
for the job we do. Unless an
extreme occurrence happens,
such as mass shooting. At
some point, someone should
just say to the care giver, “Are
you ok”.
DeVry Gazette 110th Edition
Interviewer: How do you
plan on paying back to the
community?
Interview: My job has offered
me an excellent living and
many rewards, caring for
critically injured patients.
The way I plan on paying back
is a teaching many nursing
students, paramedic students.
I started a paramedic
program in the east county,
which is still thriving today. I
serve as a resource to
students attempting to get
into nursing.
Interviewer: Mr. Schatteman,
I think that will wrap up this
interview. Thank you for your
time and what you have done
for the community.
Interviewee: My pleasure.

All About The FIFA
World Cup
Written By Julie Ordonez,
Devry Gazette Staff on Aug.
20, 2014
To get things started,
the basic rules of soccer
include: you are unable to use
your hands unless you are a
goalie; a team consists of 11
players; the game lasts
approximately 90 minutes
composed of 2 increments of
45 minutes each; kickoff is
determined by a coin toss, and
the team who chose the right
side of the coin decides if they
want to start with the ball, or
the other team; and at the end
of the game the team with the
most points wins the
matchup.
This year’s FIFA world cup
was, by far, the most
entertaining and
groundbreaking game when
compared with previous
years. Since the very
Brazil, of course, playing in
their home turf, put up a fight
to try to win until the very
end. They played against
Mexico, but tied. Afterward,
Brazil played against
Cameroon, and won 4-1,
which was a big win for them.
Later, they played against
Chile and tied, but won
against Columbia. Brazil later
suffered a great defeat against
Germany, 1-7.
Germany was a great team
that started off beating
Portugal 4-0, and later tied
with Ghana 2-2. Germany won
against Algeria, France, Brazil
and finally Argentina, to be
crowned world cup
champions.

Atlanta Hawks put the
Miami Heat on Ice.
By Ubong Utin, DeVry
Gazette Staff on Aug. 20, 2014
The Atlanta Hawks
played against the Miami Heat
on April 12, 2014. Here are
the game's highlight plays.
The setting is in the home of
the Hawks, Atlanta's Phillips
Arena.
DeVry Gazette 110th Edition
The game begins with
Milsaf guarding Haslem at 9-5,
Heat winning; Haslem blows
by Milsaf with the reverse
layup for 2 points. Haslem
goes on to help the Heat to the
lead, 51-49, off an assist from
Mario Chalmers proving
himself present for the
massacre loss at Hawks’
hands that is to result in the
end.
Jeff Teague performed
outstandingly with 25 points
for the game. Teague scores a
fast break layup at 16- 20,
Hawks lead. He comes right
back and lays it up against
two defenders for 2. Teague,
then shows off with an ‘And 1’
layup, he makes the freethrow to tie the game at 49,
and comes right back with the
stop, pop, and drop to break
the 51-point tie, 53-51, Hawks
up. Teague also fakes
Chalmers finishing with a
show time layup at 58-62,
Hawks side. He was definitely
a big help to the Hawks win.
Lou Williams finishes
the game with 23 points. He
scores a fast break bucket,
banks a 3-pointer from the
corner, brings the Hawks up
to 37 points, and makes a
poster out of Ray Allen with
an ‘And 1’ layup at 75-65, with
Hawks winning. Damari gets
the nail for the Heat coffin
ready with a 3-pointer at 5852, with Hawks on top, and
they remain that way for the
majority of the following
game play leading to the end
Thursday August 28, 2014
of the game. Damari takes one
swing at the nail with a 3pointer at 65-58, then it’s
back to Lou Williams who
scores a free 3-pointer against
zero defenders, as the second
swing at the Heat coffin for
this battle at 81-72, and hits a
3-point buzzer beater at 9580. Lou Williams fastens the
Heat coffin tight with the last
3 points of the game.
Lebron James was
mostly quiet in this game but
steadily stopped some of the
Hawks scoring runs to quiet
the crowd. Dwaye Wade
worked hard with one layup
in traffic at 26-33, a two
pointer near the pocket at the
26-33 Hawks lead, and a fade
away 2-pointer when the Heat
actually led the Hawks at 4249. Wade drove down the lane
past the entire Hawks team
for 72- 78, Hawks leading.
The superstars were
with the Heat but the ice was
with the Hawks in this game.
The Hawks beat the Heat with
an ice cold beverage for a final
score of 98-85.

Semi-Pro Football and
College Education
By Demario Hankins, DeVry
Gazette Staff on August 11,
2014
Two most important
priorities of a reporter are
finding the truth in news and to
not harm anyone in the process
of doing so. To find the truth
means to research more than
one source on a team. To not
harm is keeping negative news
aside from the story that is
being reported. We asked Tim
Tripp, “Do you feel there
should be a Semi-Pro Rival
League that competes with the
NCAA in college football for
players who wish not to attend
college? “ Tim’s response was,
“College is important, but
according to some players
academics isn’t. There have
been NFL, Semi-pro, or any
league players that have a
graduate degree. Let’s take a
look at Myron Rolle who went
to Florida State University.
That is where he finished all his
pre-med prerequisites and still
obtained a 3.75 grade point
average. Rolle obtained his
DeVry Gazette 110th Edition
Bachelor’s in exercise science
during his time there and still
excelled in football. “
Tim Tripp has some
great points about the Rival
League, but previous players
have proved their statements
wrong. According to Tim, the
reason behind having a SemiPro Rival League is that he feels
college isn’t for everyone and
players joined college to play
ball and not for academics. I
currently play for a semi-pro
league in my community, and
they do not pay the players. I’m
a witness that many of us are
either seeking to make it to the
next level, retired and want to
waste time, in the military to
keep dreams alive (me), or just
love the game of football. Has
anyone really paid attention to
some of the football players
being interviewed, their speech
in public and how
uncomfortable they are on
camera? Well, lets consider
Tims viewpoint: if players do
not want to have the academics
for college, they should at least
be required to take the
minimum classes to make them
look and sound professional.
Communication class is
important; English, and
Journalism will also serve to
assist them.

Sports-Related Injuries
on the rise in Children
By Sandi Sibona, DeVry
Gazette Staff on August 11,
2014
Injuries and sports go
hand in hand. We, as
spectators, expect our
professional athletes to get
knocked around. It is
expected that they will tear
their ACL’s, dislocate a
shoulder, sprain an ankle,
break a finger, or get a
concussion. They play hard,
it’s their job. They get paid
very well for playing their
game of choice. With that
paycheck, they know the risks
the minute they sign the
contracts.
When it comes to child
athletes, our expectations are
much different. We want them
to learn from their games. We
want them to know how to be
a part of a team. Above all
else, we want them to have
fun. Sadly, their fun is often
over-shadowed by injury.
Children are being subjected
to grueling training and
practice schedules. They are
scrimmaging in extreme heat.
They are running laps in snow
and ice. They are consistently
getting pushed to their limits,
both mentally and physically.
In their training and practice
efforts, these children are
getting hurt, sometimes pretty
badly.
According to a study
conducted by John Hopkins
University, more than
775,000 children, ages 14 and
younger, were treated for
sports-related injuries every
year. Most of the injuries
occurred as a result of falls,
being struck by an object,
collisions, and overexertion
during unorganized or
informal sports activities.
Football claims the most
injuries at almost 210,000.
Basketball comes in second at
170,000 injuries per year.
Now that we know that
there is a problem, what is the
answer? Perhaps the solution
relies within the coaching
staff; focusing more on the
sports science and less on
competition. Simply knowing
exactly how a child’s body
responds to certain strenuous
activities and knowing when
to stop pushing. The
knowledge of injury
prevention in children can
benefit them when they turn
into adults.

Tour of Utah Stage
1 ends in sprint
finish
By Adam Loomis, DeVry
Gazette Staff on August 16,
2014
CEDAR CITY – “America’s
Toughest Stage Race” is
underway with an exciting
day in Southern Utah. Team
Belkin’s Moreno Hofland
(BEL) took home the Stage 1
win of the 7-day professional
cycling road race.
The 113-mile day
started and finished in Cedar
City, Utah. Riders from 16
teams tackled serious
climbing – 9720 feet of
elevation gain – in the Red
Thursday August 28, 2014
Hills before looping back into
the city for a circuit finish.
Four riders formed a
break a mere 17 miles into the
race, and at times it appeared
that they would make it to the
finish in front. As they
entered the final circuit laps
around Cedar City, the
peloton started to pull the
leaders back in rapidly. 41year old cycling legend Jens
Voigt led the attack with eight
miles to go that would bring
the entire field together.
In the final miles, the
sprinter’s teams took to the
front in a fight for control.
Belkin proved too strong for
the others, and successfully
led out Hofland to the line.
The victory came on Hofland’s
first race back after breaking
five ribs in this year’s Tour of
California.
Stage 2 will start in
Panguitch and arrive in
Torrey after 130 miles on the
road. The riders will race
through Bryce Canyon
National Park and Escalante
Grand Staircase National
Monument and finish just
outside of Capitol Reef
National Park. This year,
riders will be happy to pass
through the desert climate
without the usual blistering
heat. Temperatures are not
expected to rise above 75 °F
along the stage. If the peloton
can survive the 10,000 plus
feet of climbing before the
finish, look for another
exciting group finish with
sprinter’s looking for a chance
at a stage win.
Later in the week the
favorites for the overall win
will get the chance to duke it
out. Stage 4 will be a decisive
day, finishing at the Powder
Mountain Ski Resort. Riders
will ascend 3,000 feet in the
final six miles, and the strong
climbers will have the chance
to put time on their rivals.
Pre-race favorites to watch for
include last year’s winner
Tom Danielson (Garmin
Sharp) to defend his title
against former Tour de France
champion Cadel Evans (BMC)
and 2013 Vuelta Espana
winner Chris Horner (Lampre
- Merida).
After seven days and
over 700 miles on the road,
the race will finish on Park
City, Utah’s Mainstreet. The
riders will ascend to the top of
Wolf Creek Ranch before the
final fight for victory on the
climb up the infamous
Guardsmen Pass and a high
paced descent into Park City.

By Narjis Momodu Devry
Gazette Staff on July 27, 2014
Former Louisiana
resident John Doe, 90
passed away May 20,
2014, with a smile on his
face, at his home in New
Orleans, Louisiana. His
wife of 40 years, his kids
and grandchildren spent
the last hours with him.
John Doe was born March
25, 1924 in New Orleans
Louisiana, to Jason and
Jane Doe. Mr. John Doe
joined the Air Force at the
age of 18. He served in
World War I and World
War II. He was stationed
in several countries such
Thursday August 28, 2014
as Germany and Korea.
John Doe retired after 24
years of service and
settled down with his
wife and kids in New
Orleans, Louisiana where
he worked with the U.S.
government as
communication specialist.
Mr. Doe was a loving
husband, father and
grandfather. He was
always in positive spirit
and loved to laugh with
his family and friends.
After retiring from the
military he started
spending a lot of time
with his family. He always
said that he missed so
much while he was
serving in the military
and that it is time to catch
up on what he missed. He
took family vacations to
Hawaii and Europe. He
was involved in his
children’s affairs and
adored every single one
of them. When he first
became a grandfather, he
held his granddaughter
and started crying, he
was so proud.
Mr. Doe is survived by his
wife; Lisa Doe, their
children; Jimmy Doe,
Jason Doe, Jenny Doe and
Jody Doe and 8
grandchildren. The
Memorial Service, to
remember the
extraordinary veteran
was held May 20 at the

1994 - 2034
By Julie Ordoñez Devry
Gazette Staff on July 27, 2014
Born in New Jersey
and found dead in the city
of Dubai with her
companion dog Carias
lying next to her (she
brought her everywhere).
No other information was
shared about her death,
we have yet to
know/understand why
she was in Dubai and why
she died.
Officials say her death
will remain under
confidential records until
further notice.
DeVry Gazette 110th Edition
Julie Ordonez also known
as many other different
names by her friends and
family was an energetic,
artistic, loving and caring
person, known for her
talents and of course
known for her work in
the service of the CIA
relations.
Julie was a mother to, two
twin boys names go by
Aiden and Noah both age
17 and husband named
Maison who was
devastated when he
heard the news, boys
Aiden and Noah haven’t
been seen since the news
was delivered, reporters
say boys should be
coming to the funeral
gathering. She has a
mother named Hilda and
a father named Pedro and
step-dad named Manuel.
Her three brothers were
caught off guard when
told the death of their

running back home,

her sons gone? The only
thing that was said was
what as mentioned in the
beginning.
Julie did much charity
work because she
believed if a person who
blessed (her) then she
could bless others with
her kindness and time.
Her boys also helped in
many charity events. Her
boys were really attached
to their mother says
father Maison. Who
knows what will become
of them, just hope we can
all remember her for who
she is and was and try to
live ours just the same.
Some say she was there
by mistake, others believe
is was planned but we
have yet to find out.
Since no information was
said as to how Julie died,
questions have come up
as to how her death came
about. Julie lived in
Colorado with her
husband and kids and
was known for her many
travels but what was she
doing in Dubai? Why is
the CIA holding
information? Why is the
family holding
information? Where has
The family is having an
open funeral where her
sons are set to show up
not to mention countless
of others who
appreciated Julie for who
she was and what she did.
Funeral will be held in
Silverstone funeral home
on Saturday December 10
from 10am-2pm.
Finally, the family asks
that if you did not know
Julie do not come also no

night after a long battle
with lymphoma. Grayson
was born and raised in
Wichita, Kansas before
moving to the San
Francisco area to become
an English teacher.
During her forty years of
teaching, she also wrote
several recognized works
about the sexualization of
young girls in the modern
media. Her funeral was
held Saturday at the
school gym, where she
taught during her lengthy
career. Former students
from all over the country
flew out to remember a
woman who inspired
them to be more than
they ever dreamed.
“She told me to
make my own way, and
everything was
conquerable. I never
understood that until I
walked into her eighth
grade English class,”
stated one student who
flew all the way from New
York to reminisce, and
pay his respects. He is
among many who had
happy and inspiring

stories about their
beloved teacher. Another
young woman who
encountered her old
teacher after graduating
high school, and was once
a drug addict, had these
words, “She cared, that’s
what mattered the most.
She cared about me and
her other students and
that will always stick with
me.” Grayson ended up
helping the young woman
find a rehab program, and
the former addict has
been clean for nearly
fifteen years. Even though
she has passed, Olivia
Grayson will live on in the
hearts of every student
whose life she changed
for the better.

Ubong Utin 1980 – 2089
By Ubong Utin, Devry Gazette
Staff on March 12, 2089.
There are those
who are given the gift of
vocational passion. For
Ubong Utin, it was
Information Technology.
He regularly made
known to all of his
acquaintances that he had
a passion for IT, and
offered to assist them
with their technical issues
for small fees ranging
from $5 to $40. He would
perform the work for free
if he didn’t need money,
as he sometimes did. He
indicated that as a child
he would dismantle his
PlayStation, and
reassemble it in working
condition; he was noted
as intelligent in grade
school.
He was recognized,
in his neighborhood, and
by clients for having an
unorthodox living room
area that featured three
flat screen computer
monitors hanging from
the the wall, a computer
that lit up with blue
lights, and black lights as
the only lighting.
He worked in many
different positions and
later acquired jobs in IT
DeVry Gazette 110th Edition
for companies, but always
stated that he was more
interested in going into
business for himself. That
he did, with his new
found software
development skills he
acquired from DeVry
University he went on to
develop successful
programs for computers,
and apps for
smartphones that
brought in a hefty
revenue under his
company name, Verses
IT; he generously shared
his earnings with his
associates and family.
Ubong graduated
from Interactive College
of Technology with an
Associate’s Degree and
later from DeVry
University with a
Bachelor’s in 2015. Ubong
died on March 10, 2089
from complications due
to old age.
