The Bluffton University women's basketball team hit 14-of-27 shots in the second half en route to a convincing 68-51 win at Oberlin College on Tuesday, Nov. 23. Oberlin fell to 1-2 on the season, while the Beavers won their second straight in improving to 2-1.
Two centuries ago, China and India combined to produce 50 percent of the world's gross domestic product. After 200 years of political and economic turbulence-including ongoing, rapid economic development since the 1980s-China has returned to prominence, with the second-ranked GDP globally and a 9 percent share of the worldwide total.
The Chinese are well aware of their standing, too, says Dr. George Lehman, the Howard Raid professor of business at Bluffton University, who saw change in China firsthand for two weeks in June.
"Looking back, looking forward" was the focus of the Nov. 11-13 fall meeting of the Bluffton University Board of Trustees, which accepted the final report of the university's 2006-10 strategic plan and began discussion of the next generation of the university's strategic plan and long-term vision during a daylong planning workshop that preceded the regular meetings.
"The board's focused review and planning activities provided an opportunity to gain some larger perspectives on the university," Bluffton president Dr. James M. Harder observed.

As you walk outside with a cup of coffee, a frosty breeze hits your face and chills go down your spine as the trek for the morning paper begins. The rising sun sits on the fence slowly melting the frost off the dying grass.
For some, the morning started long before the sun was up. And instead of slippers and a robe, these people are wearing blaze orange and camouflage. Fall in northwest Ohio brings another season with it: Whitetail deer season.
