With the imminent release of the group's new album, "Existentia" on January 30, 2007 in North America, Napalm recording artists TRAIL OF TEARS are in a bit of a quandary, and much speculation has ensued. Therefore, founding vocalist Ronny Thorsen has released this official statement regarding the band's current status:
"The following lines are written in the attempt of clarifying the news that have been circulating in the past few days. There is really no easy way of telling this, so I will try to explain to the best of my ability.
"On the 26th of November, TRAIL OF TEARS completed a 10-date tour of Mexico, a tour which was in large part ridden with organisational problems and resulted in a severe financial loss for everyone involved. As a result of this, I was called to the band hotel on the morning of November 28th, asking for a meeting by the remaining members. Arriving to the hotel, I am instead given a message, lasting a mere two minutes, that because of the situation they have decided to end the band effective immediately. The decision has been made entirely without my consultation and approval, and thus TRAIL OF TEARS is NOT dead and will continue in a new shape and formation.
"Needless to say, I am very disappointed by the decision and the way that this has been handled by the leaving members. I have tried my very best best reasoning with them, stressing that the timing could not be worse and that in fact they are violating future obligations with a decision made in a moment of frustration in the aftermath of this tour. I have even offered to cover the several-thousand-euro financial loss out of my own pocket in order for them not to worry about paying their bills and so that we can focus on our already-agreed obligations towards label, tour organisers and the countless people involved. This was not accepted; however, they made sure of giving me all their account numbers before running back to Norway.
"I am truly ashamed by the lack of insight, understanding, and responsability the leaving members have portrayed with this decision, with absolute disregard to the fans who have bought tickets for the upcoming tour, which we now have to cancel, and to all the parties involved who have invested a large amount of work and money in the upcoming release, 'Existentia'. The decision to leave a band is an individual choice and I respect that to the fullest, but it does under no circumstances justify the leaving members violating obligations and making decisions for others, going public with something that has not been approved.
"Despite the situation, I want to thank the leaving members, each and every one of you, for the amazing times we have shared; I will always consider you my brothers, friends and family. Great chapters have been written and more are in the making. This is not the end!"

Lottery commission to meet in Russellville
The Arkansas Lottery Commission is to meet at Arkansas Tech University in Russellville as the panel awaits changes by the Legislature in the format for lottery-funded scholarships.
The commission is to meet at 1 p.m. Monday at Rothwell Hall and is to hear from Arkansas Tech President Robert Brown and two recipients of lottery scholarships.
Legislators say there is not enough money to sustain the current scholarship levels of $4,500 for university students and $2,250 for community college students. Legislators will have to lower the amounts, tighten the academic requirements to qualify for aid or make other changes.
The composition of the Legislative Lottery Oversight Committee will change once the Legislature convenes in January with newly-elected members, so the new scholarship parameters won't be set until the coming session.

When Maggie Daley Park opens on the lakefront of Chicago, it will provide an opportunity for Juli Ordower, MLA, a graduate of the CU Denver College of Architecture and Planning to showcase her talent and training.
The park will renovate more than 20 acres of North Grant Park (walking distance from the wildly popular Millennium Park) with a new world-class public landscape that is a destination in its own right. It's named after Maggie Daley, who served as the beloved first lady of Chicago for nearly a quarter century. Daley died in 2011 after a long battle with metastatic breast cancer.
At Maggie Daley Park, Ordower is busy coordinating the installation of more than 4,000 shrubs, 43,000 perennials and 283,000 square feet of sod in a park that is built on top of an underground parking garage.
She is quick to point out that the landscape she is installing is not her design. Ordower is executing the concepts of Michael van Valkenburgh, the highly regarded landscape architect whose projects can be seen in Boston, Miami Beach, New York, Dallas and many other cities. She is responsible for making sure that construction of Maggie Daley Park follows his design drawings and specifications, right down to the last "Tulipa Maggie Daley," a tulip named in Daley's honor.
"I'm treating this like any other project, big or small, doing my best, following the plans," Ordower said. "It's fun to watch it develop."
"I didn't know it existed"
A native of Glencoe, Ill., Ordower started her post-graduate career not too far from the park she is working on now. She was a front-desk clerk at the Hilton Chicago Hotel. A classics major at Tufts University, she admits to graduating with "no idea" about what she would do next. She liked to ski, so she moved to Breckenridge where she again worked in a hotel. She had always liked flowers and architecture, so she had an open mind when a friend suggested she go back to school to study landscape architecture.
"I said, 'Okay, but what's that?' I had never heard of [landscape architecture]. I didn't know it existed," Ordower said.
Not only did it exist, but she was living in a state where she could attend the Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) program at CU Denver.
"She found her calling"
That was 1999, and to this day, Ordower sounds a little surprised and very grateful she was accepted into the program with an application portfolio that consisted of pictures she had taken on world travels.
Her first semester was a "roller coaster." She had no architectural background, she didn't know the terminology and she couldn't draw.
"Everyone else in my class was an artist or had architectural training," Ordower said. "It was very hard. I would call my parents and say, 'I'm going to quit.'"
Ordower credits Lois Brink, her first studio professor, with keeping her in school. "She is a great teacher," she said. "She kept you going even though you had no idea what you were doing."
By the time she had finished the program, Ordower says she "had found her calling."
"It's a very good program"
After graduation, Ordower moved back to Chicago and joined Site Design Group, where she would spend the next decade working on public projects, including playgrounds, landscaping for new libraries and schools and streetscape work. She loved seeing projects move from design to reality. When the company downsized at the tail end of the recession, Ordower found herself on the freelance market, learning new skills and doing smaller projects.
"Finally, I decided, 'I guess I will just have to go out on my own,'" she said. "I started my own business."
Briar Patch Landscaping, a landscape contractor Ordower partners with, won the Maggie Daley Park contract, which led Ordower to her current mission—finding nearly 300,000 square feet of sod (she got it from one place) and thousands of shrubs and perennials (they came from 17 nurseries). When it's finished, the park will include a three-acre play garden, a café, a rock-climbing park, a seasonal ice-skating pond nestled in an evergreen grove and comfortable gathering spaces for parents and caregivers.
The skills that Ordower has used to succeed in Chicago, with its long and distinguished history of wonderful architecture and landscape architecture, took root during her time in CU Denver's MLA program. "It's a very good program," she said. "I learned how to collaborate, to receive feedback and to give feedback. In the real world you are always working with architects, engineers and other landscape architects. I had good practice doing that."

Biomedical Informatics: Computer Applications in Health Care and Biomedicine (Health Informatics)
Book Description
The practice of modern medicine requires sophisticated information technologies with which to manage patient information, plan diagnostic procedures, interpret laboratory results, and conduct research. This book, inspired by a Stanford University training program developed to introduce health professionals to computer applications in modern medical care, fills the need for a high quality text in computers and medicine, and meets the growing demand by practitioners, researchers, and students for a comprehensive introduction to key topics in the field. The work is designed for a broad audience interested in the intersection of computer science and medicine.
Completely revised and expanded, the Third Edition (previously titled "Medical Informatics") includes several new chapters filled with brand new material. This book will provide both a conceptual framework and a practical approach for the implementation and management of IT used to improve the delivery of health care. Designed for use by professors and students of medical informatics and for practicing professionals, this book will focus on the role of computers in the provision of medical services. Biomedial Informatics, Third Edition, provides the conceptual base needed to comprehend and utilize medical informatics through easy to understand examples that demonstrate how computers assist in the delivery of health care. This text also includes pointers to additional literature, chapter summaries, and concise definition of recurring terms for self-study or classroom use.

|The box where Eric HELSTEN stored his important papers (including this document).
The "footprint" of the box is 11" by 5".
If you have been following the story of the deposition in this case, you know that we have a pencil copy of the depositions but don't actually know what the suit was or how it was resolved. The writing is VERY light, the handwriting inconsistent (sometimes abbreviated or close to scribble) and the paper fragile and so it is very hard to read. This might have been a "scratch copy" and then recopied in ink for the court. What you have below is the rest of the testimony after three of us have tried to transcribe the document (this is the best we can decipher!). Why Eric HELSTEN even had this copy is another puzzle.
Reading this does not answer the question as to what the suit was about or how it was resolved. It DOES give some real personalities to Eric and Mary HELSTEN and to John CARLSON.
Evidence taken Sept. 8th
Before Reynolds Justice
Deposition from John Carlson
Eric A. Helsten
It was 1858, he came at my house. He was a small boy came along and inquired for me. He had been sent up by someone from New York. He wanted to stay with me, my wife. He came….of everything. I did not make any bargain with him. I made a bargain with him to give him his board and clothes. I would finish him with way to go back to Sweden. His father and mother were dead. It appeared to me that he had been sent here to avoid when he came said was 15. He called himself a year older than he was. I clothed him right off – gave him clothes. The first night we had a clean shirt put on him. We had a good deal of trouble with him for the first year he wet the bed. He was a small poor boy. I …. …. Pictures have this clothes. He runs. He did not understand the English language. I taught him many things and spelling and reading I always avoided speaking Swedish to him on this I took special pains to try to learn him the language. I thought I could give him better instruction myself as before. He was well to understand English. He start tell about the time he stolen himself. One fault I had against him he sometimes would tell some wrong stories, always tell the truth anytime. I did not consider no labor than over than his board and clothes. I kept him at work as before as he could work as you can go. I favored him because he was lame. The first I ever heard of his leg hurt was my boy says John liked to get killed the other day I got a story from both round and on Sunday he was hurt when he came to the top. William went down the hill to hunt him John said he was not hurt. I spoke up said it is a great wonder you did not get killed did not you. He use ax. He said he had to let it go. I got the story from both of them. After that I forbid both of the boys to slide down hill. Many evenings I find John sliding down hill. I took the sled away from him and sent him into the house. I think it was 6 weeks after that I heard him complain of his foot. I did not believe at the time he got his foot out of joint and kept it concealed so long. I asked him if he was hurt and he always denied it. I went with him over to Dr. St. Johns office. I went to Dr. St. John's Office and he never owned up to Dr. that it was hurt, to my knowledge, how it happened, Dr. was going to examine his foot. John would not let him touch it. Pulled it back. He did not seem to know what it was. His foot was swollen pretty bad. John used up that linament and I told him to go and get more. He went and got more and after that the doctor saw the foot inflamed and the swelling was down. He said that foot is out of joint. Run and get a supporter an Spig (some type of screw) he wear our shirts This spig was made and put on the boot and fixed for him. John wore it and after awhile he broke it and I had another one made. Dr. St. John said he must wear it. I had another spig put on a new boot for him. He did not like to wear it But summer came on and he would rather go barefooted. He went off but came back again. I did not know what to think of it. He always denied being hurt again. I had seen before that his foot was hurt. That has always been big influence. I estimated it at about six weeks when he went off the wall at this time If I have know that his ankle was out of join I should have him in doctor right off.
Cross- examination
He went to work as usual during this time. I asked him many times if he was hurt. He did what he could. He went away the latter part of summer.
He grew very fast when he came.
William Helsten
Son of Mr. Helsten
When he went out out over of all of it. That week on Saturday I think it was sometime after that he began. I did not notice it that week nor the next. I guess he did not (tan –maybe) I don't remember whether I did or not
Cross examination
I am 14 I think it was 7 or eight. I have heard father speak of it. I think it was in the …. One foot on each side I did not see him go lame. I could not tell whether he was the same as before.
Mrs. Mary Helsten
He was a poor school boy and I take him he was a little boy came in. I want you to go home ..shall freeze to death. Said I we we will put up same as before. I clothed him I …. The same before run as you do us the same Then says I intended to do well by him I could not understand a word as before Well says I wonder that he was not killed. I did not notice that he was lame for sometime as before. John would not let him touch it we thought it was a swelling, as before then, as before you came
Dr. St. John
I think its first time. He came with an ankle badly swelled. He was very hesitantly to how as this was. He did not. I inquired to know the cause of the trouble. After I think Mr. Helsten told me what William said about him going over the wall. Have the same as before. He did not admit that very absolutely I continue the same as before. I think it could have been straightened with the support. Boys sometimes as before you can make the worked as before. I considered the injury. I don't know as this was anything said about this.
He might have the ….
Cross examination
Ex. A. (Eric A. Helsten)?
I thought it might be much nothing, but I don't think be. I don't know when he might have done work. He says he could not do a full days work. He might have done some work.
Mr. Helsten
He did not work while he was sick. I kept him comfortable.
I think is about 2 years ago he said his hip was out of joint. He said Dr. ought to have seen it. He said I always say no I knew I didn't know as you will give me any the….
Know as the same as before
My next post will be Chris's summary of what she has learned from reading this document -- the first thing that has given her any information on her great grandfather John CARLSON when he came to the US.

The one thing I might suggest is providing a shorter Refresh Interval in the Advanced Options menu, eg as little as 20 or 40 msec if possible, then the servo responsiveness would be maximal.
My next task is learning how to write my own Android BT apps. BTW, can you tell me which tools you used?
this afternoon, we loaded Joystick Commander into a friend's Samsung Galaxy 3 cellphone running Android 4.1, and it worked perfectly in commanding my BT-Arduino1284 board and servos, so everything good. He was impressed, and not even an Arduino guy.
QuoteThe one thing I might suggest is providing a shorter Refresh Interval in the Advanced Options menu, eg as little as 20 or 40 msec if possible, then the servo responsiveness would be maximal.Easy to do... let's see...
BTW, the Galaxy phone guy [non-techie] was totally amazed how he could suddenly use his Android phone to control the world, ;-),
Edit:I just tested V2.35 with the Pan/Tilt robotAt 25ms, movements are much smoother smileyI will upload this version to Google Play later todayThanks for your suggestion
...you cannot tell from the Android screen what is the state of the Led on the Arduino, in the sense that you don't know what was the last keypress made - on or off. I guess there is no option for feedback from the Arduino board back to the Android device, but it might help to put some marker on the Android screen to indicate the last key pressed. Like a little marker that comes on, separate from the on,off keys.
Holydays? Where the heck does one go on a holiday when he lives in a resort town like you do? LOL. Maybe the beach. Bon chance.
I happen to have this one on hand, so I plugged it into my Arduino1284 board [which just happens to have a convenient XBee socket], and the JoystickCommander worked right off without any muckaround, so it looks like the "default" mode of the BTBee is the same as for the other small BT modules cited earlier. Again, 2 wire control - Rx, Tx, 9600bps, code=1234 - and go. So, versatility increases.
And never tell anyone in public what your specific plans are, just general stuff like "Well, maybe we'll head south, or maybe east, have to see how it goes", LOL. Talk about intrusiveness, this article may be of interest! Do a google search on "WSJ How Kid Apps Are Data Magnets". I find the direct link gets highjacked. "Big Data" knows more about you than your own govt. C'est la vie. Neuromancer in action.
I've started reading a book on Android development. Install about 700-800 MB of dev tools (java sdk, eclipse, eclipse android plugin, android sdk, maybe some others), and learn how they work, and maybe 3 months later you'll have a nice 47KB .apk app

The computational power of matchgates and the XY interaction on arbitrary graphs
Speaker(s): Daniel Brod
Abstract: Matchgates are a restricted set of two-qubit gates known to be classically simulable when acting on nearest-neighbor qubits on a path, but universal for quantum computation when the gates can also act on more distant qubits. In this talk, I will address the power of matchgates when they can act on pairs of qubits according to the edges of arbitrary graphs. Specifically, we show that matchgates are universal on any connected graph other than a path or a cycle, and that they are classically simulable on a cycle. We also prove that the same dichotomy holds for the XY interaction, a proper subset of matchgates that arises naturally in some implementations of quantum computing. This is based on a joint work with Ernesto Galvão and another with Andrew Childs.

I let a neighbor borrow the Pavilion for a little bit, to check e-mails and watch a DVD or two. I won't miss it: Between the remaining three computers — scratch that: five, including the new Thinkpad and the semi-functional VAIO I still haven't tended to — I can easily keep myself occupied for a while. The last thing I need is another computer to distract me.
And since it was running a full-blown Hardy installation, it was easy as pie to create a new user account, step down on some of the privileges and let them take it for a day or two. Ubuntu was perfect for that situation. I made sure there was an account just for her, deactivated the automatic user login to GDM, set a password she would remember, and even left the screen effects on, just for amusement. What the heck — it's the first time she's seen Linux, so it might as well be an addicting experience.
Anyway, if you're letting someone borrow a full-blown Linux machine, I recommend a working, fully complete Ubuntu system. It's the nice thing to do.
(As an added bonus, the Pavilion seems to catch my wireless network — unlike my other neighbor, whose apartment is on the other side of the hall. The walls must be thicker in that direction. I have no other explanation for it. 😕 )

Horton and Krejci lead Boston past Washington
Bruins 4, Capitals 1
Nathan Horton had a goal and two assists, Milan Lucic set up Boston's first two scores on hustle plays behind the net and the Bruins beat the Washington Capitals 4-1 Saturday.
David Krejci added a goal and two assists, Rich Peverley had a power-play goal and Andrew Ference scored his first of the season on the eve of his 34th birthday for the Bruins, who avenged a frustrating loss against the Capitals earlier this month.
Bruins backup goaltender Anton Khudobin made 32 saves, and Lucic had a career-high three assists.
Marcus Johansson was credited with Washington's goal when the puck caromed into the net off Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk.
It was the Capitals' fourth loss in five games.
Boston blew a 3-0 lead against the Capitals in Washington before losing 4-3 in overtime on March 5 in their only other meeting this season.
The Bruins jumped ahead 1-0 on Horton's goal 14:12 into the game. Lucic raced in, collecting a pass behind the net, circled and found Horton in the slot. He one-timed a shot by goaltender Michal Neuvirth.
They increased it to 2-0 just over 3 minutes later when Lucic beat defenseman Tomas Kundratek to a puck in the corner, out-muscled center Mike Ribeiro near the net before sending a pass in front to Krejci, who slipped a quick shot into the net.
The Capitals cut it to 2-1 early in the second when Krejci's clearing pass from the side of the net caromed off Boychuk's skate and behind Khudobin. Johansson, the closest player to the puck, was credited with the goal.
With the teams skating four a side, Ference's wrister from the top of the left circle- off a pass from Horton - beat Neuvirth inside the right post, making it 3-1 at 8:02 of the second.
Peverley's power play goal, coming out of a scramble in front, came just 8 seconds into a power play early in the third.
The Bruins came out hitting from the start, turning the game a bit chippy at times. Boston appeared to have a plan of checking the Capitals nearly every time they passed or handled the puck. Washington responded later in the second, challenging the Bruins to a pair of fights.
It was the teams' first meeting in TD Garden since Washington eliminated Boston in overtime of the seventh game during the opening round of last season's Stanley Cup playoffs.
NOTES: Krejci collected his 300th career point on Peverley's goal. ... It was Horton's first three-point game since Jan. 12, 2012. ... The Bruins had a video tribute for Capitals coach - and former Boston player - Adam Oates, congratulating him on making the Hall of Fame. He was given a standing ovation. ... Boston captain Zdeno Chara turns 36 on Monday. ... The Bruins wore green jerseys during the pregame skate in honor of St. Patrick's Day. ... The Capitals played the second game of six of seven away from home. ... Boston improved to 8-0-1 against the Southeast Division. ... It was the opener of an NHL-NBA doubleheader. The Celtics were scheduled to face Charlotte Saturday night. ... The Bruins have killed 25 straight penalties.

• Who—and why—were pyramids built on the equatorial band circling the earth?
• What secrets does modern DNA analysis reveal mankind's heritage?

Boston Red Sox players blasted manager Bobby Valentine to owners John Henry and Larry Lucchino during a heated meeting called after a text message was sent by a group of frustrated players to the team and ownership in late July, three sources familiar with the meeting told Yahoo! Sports.General manager Ben Cherington confirmed that a meeting did take place.
The owners called the meeting for Boston's off-day in New York on July 26 after first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, texting on behalf of himself and some teammates, aired their dissatisfaction with Valentine for embarrassing starting pitcher Jon Lester by leaving him in to allow 11 runs during a July 22 start. It was the latest incident in a season's worth of bad relations bubbling between Red Sox players and Valentine.
Gonzalez and Dustin Pedroia were among the most vocal in the meeting, in which some players stated flatly they no longer wanted to play for Valentine, the sources said. The tenor of the 2 p.m. meeting at The Palace hotel in New York turned ugly almost immediately, according to the sources, whom Yahoo! Sports granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about internal matters.
Not all of the Red Sox players attended the meeting, the sources said, highlighting the chasm that exists not only between some players and Valentine but among players in the clubhouse. ...
[The players' discontent is] personified best perhaps by a picture circulating around via text message, according to a fourth source.
Pedroia, notorious among teammates for his wit and humor, is in the foreground with a giddy smile, his tongue wagging and both thumbs up. Next to him is allegedly Valentine, face down on a table, apparently asleep. A caption accompanies the picture: "Our manager contemplating his lineup at 3:30 p.m."
What a godawful mess this season has become. ... And there is still seven weeks to go!

Vegan cheese recommendations please
I would love to know what types of vegan cheeses everyone likes. I haven't tried any yet because their are a lot of choices and I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. Help please.......:)
My first two years as a vegan I did not try any of the commercial vegan cheeses at all. They just didn't appeal to me as I was not a big cheese or dairy fan. I used nutritional yeast homemade "cheese" sauce varieties in my recipes, and made homemade cashew cheese using agar flakes, nutrional yeast, and cashews once.
But one day I had a craving for grilled cheese sandwiches. I did a little research and it seemed that Daiya is quite successful as far as melting goes, so I went out and bought some (the wedges). OMG it was so good! Very authentic, tastes much like real cheese from what I remember. It melted very well and fulfilled my strange craving for grilled cheese. The only issues are 1. one package doesn't last long as it is kind of small and 2. it isn't that cheap and can be hard to find. I bought it at a Whole Foods Coop. None of the regular grocery stores where I shop carry it, but you can order it online through Vegan Essentials store. At any rate that is the only one I have tried (the chedder flavor one), but I liked it very much.
Try Follow Your Heart. Or perhaps try a different flavor of Daiya. Depending where you are, you might be able to find Heidi Ho, which is a cashew cheese we like. You can also make cashew cheese. There's a good recipe in Vegan Family Meals by Ann Gentry. It's also in her other cookbook.
sorry it didn't work out for you. It has been so long since I have eaten real meat or dairy that things that taste good to me might seem really off or different to someone used to eating dairy. I forget that sometimes but my omnivore husband reminds me. When I first started eating nutritional yeast I couldn't understand why so many vegans love it but it started to grow on me and now I LOVE it! Maybe it will just take acquiring a taste for something that is plant based vs animal? Don't give up! There must be something out there that can win you over. :)
I highly recommend http://vegweb.com/recipes/vegan-mozzarella-cheese
This is great for making pizza. I would give a five star rating but the site will not let rate it.
Make shore you cook it longer then listed
Daiya is not a healthy product from my view. Look at what in it.

Why does the media love to talk so much about Johnny Manziel?
Perhaps because the media rarely gets a chance to talk to Johnny Manziel.
The reigning Heisman Trophy winner didn't talk to reporters for most of the 2012 regular season — an almost-unheard-of situation for such a high profile player. If not for a big win over Alabama and an absurd 5,116 yards of total offense, he never would have won the Heisman, an award that relies in large part upon publicity and name recognition.
Nature abhors a vacuum and, in the meantime, the media has been more than willing to fill it with all kinds of manufactured news about Manziel. But while the best solution is probably to avoid a bunker mentality and let the rather eloquent sophomore speak for himself — to take control of the narrative, in other words — it appears mum is the word…for now.
Indeed, Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin said on Tuesday that his star player will eventually talk, but that now isn't the right time.
"I think it's important now based on where he is that his focus is to try to be our quarterback and a student athlete," Sumlin said. "That's his biggest challenge right now. (It's) not his challenge to be here.
"I don't think right now that him coming here and saying the words would change some people's opinion about who he is. At the appropriate time he'll be able to speak for himself."
Sumlin is clearly struggling with his wayward pupil and trying his best to get him to see the light about his public behavior. As with most coaches, his first instinct is to shut down media access in these kinds of situations. But the fact that Manziel hasn't spoken publicly since SEC media days in July hasn't changed the amount of chatter surrounding him. Not by one iota. If anything, it has caused even his most minor actions to be taken up with a frenzy by the media.
Perhaps a different strategy is needed, one of engagement, not isolation.
Because we all know that, no matter what, Johnny Football will not be ignored.

Restored Eidsvaag Bell Unveiled on Sesquicentennial Day
In honor of the College's 150th anniversary, Mayor Mike Huether declared Wednesday, Sept. 8, 2010, "Augustana Day" in Sioux Falls.
Originally founded in 1860, Augustana moved to Sioux Falls in 1918. On Sept. 8, College officials, students, alumni and community members celebrated its Sesquicentennial and marked the beginning of the 2010-2011 academic year with an historic Opening Convocation ceremony, held at the Elmen Center. At the ceremony, College officials unveiled the restored Eidsvaag Bell, a gift originally given to the College by Endre Endresen Eidsvaag, a farmer from Norway, in 1869. At the time, the still-young Augustana, then called Augsburg Seminary, was housed in a small schoolhouse in Marshall, Wisc.
By the late 1870s, a new voice had emerged in Augustana's story – that of Norwegian James Wahl, commissioner of Immigration for the Dakotas. Well-traveled and well-connected, Wahl urged the Church's leaders to follow the western migration and move Augustana to Beloit, Iowa.
In 1881, Church officials voted in favor of moving Augustana and, in turn, gave Wahl the authority to move the school and all its belongings, including the Bell, from Marshall to Beloit.
Two years and a nasty court battle later, Wahl delivered the Bell to Augustana's Beloit campus. The Bell eventually followed Augustana to Canton, Dakota Territory, in 1884 and finally, to Sioux Falls, where it was installed in the bell tower of Old Main in 1918.
For more than 60 years, the signature sound of the Eidsvaag Bell signaled the beginning and end of classes and commemorated major events on campus, such as opening day and graduation. However, after the weathered and aging Old Main was officially retired from classroom use in the 1980s, the Bell was no longer officially rung.
Wahl remained an active advocate for Augustana and higher education until his death in 1939. Nicknamed "Lincoln County's Grand Old Man," he spent nearly 70 years serving the County in various capacities, including Treasurer, probate judge and legislator, in addition working as the County Historian.
According to his descendants, even into his old age, the sight of the Bell inside Old Main's bell tower always evoked a sense of pride in Wahl. His work on behalf of Augustana, and his fight for the Bell, was a story passed down through his family's generations.
In honor of Augustana's Sesquicentennial, College officials extracted the Eidsvaag Bell from Old Main on June 21, 2010.
At its re-introduction to students, faculty and staff, alumni and community members – including more than 40 descendents of James Wahl – the Eidsvaag Bell was rung by Augustana Sophomore Kelsey Ramstad, the great-, great-, great-granddaughter of James Wahl. Ramstad, a native of Colton, S.D., is a nursing major.
Initial plans call for the Bell to be rung at Viking Days and at other important college events throughout the 2010-2011 academic year before a permanent home on campus is identified.

Facebook to Nick Bilton (And Everyone Else): Seriously, There's No Pay to Play Scheme Here
See? People still read the New York Times!
Stung by an article columnist Nick Bilton published yesterday, which suggested Facebook was gaming its news feed so that users would have a reason to pay to promote their posts, the social network is publishing a lengthy post of its own.
Summary: No, that's not true.
You can read the full text below, but if you've been following the story you'll note that Facebook has already made most of these points before. In Bilton's piece itself, for instance. And my suspicion is that their coms team reached out to several other folks in the last 24 hours.
In any case, nothing wrong with letting them spell it out one more time. My TLDR:
- Yes, Facebook says, we tweak our newsfeed algorithms all the time. We tweak everything all the time.
- Just because Bilton and others have seen engagement on their posts drop over time doesn't mean that it's happening for everyone: "Overall engagement on posts from people with followers has gone up 34% year over year."
- And yes, people like Bilton (and me, and lots of other bloggers, writers and other quasi-prominent people) who started accumulating "followers" via the site's "subscribe option" early may have seen engagement drop.
- Why? Here Facebook isn't as clear as it could or should be. My gut is that lots of those followers, and the likes/shares/comments they generated, were either people who didn't know what they were doing, or, less charitably, not real people at all, but some kind of spam/bot/zombie. Dunno.
Alright. But Facebook is offering Bilton, and everyone else, the chance to boost their engagement numbers for a fee. So when Bilton (or others) see their engagement numbers drop, and then they see Facebook's for-profit solution, isn't it natural for them to put two and two together?
Maybe, says Will Cathcart, product manager for Facebook's news feed. But that doesn't mean they're right, he said during a brief phone interview. Instead, he says, think of it like Google, which displays "organic" search results on its results pages, and also gives people the chance to buy their way onto the page as well.
Okay. But you can take everything Facebook says at face value and still end up with a nagging feeling.
It's not that Bilton or Star Trek actor George Takei or anyone else has a right to have every single thing they post on Facebook distributed as widely as they like. It's that Facebook often rolls out new products, and then asks users, advertisers or partners to invest time and energy using them. And then it changes its mind quite quickly.
That's part of the Facebook "move fast and break things" credo, and that makes perfect sense when you're trying to sustain the "hacker way" in a big company. But Facebook is a big company, with a billion users, and $5 billion in revenue, and a desire to increase both of those numbers. If it moves too fast, without enough warning, it might find it leaves some folks behind.
Our goal with News Feed is always to show each individual the most relevant blend of stories that maximizes engagement and interest.
There have been recent claims suggesting that our News Feed algorithm suppresses organic distribution of posts in favor of paid posts in order to increase our revenue. This is not true. We want to clear up any misconceptions by explaining how the News Feed algorithm works.
First, in aggregate, engagement – likes, comments, shares – has gone up for most people with followers. In fact, overall engagement on posts from people with followers has gone up 34% year over year.
Second, a few data points should not be taken as representative of what actually is happening overall. There are numerous factors that may affect distribution, including quality and number of posts.
News Feed shows people the most relevant stories from their friends and Pages they are connected to. In fact, the News Feed algorithm is separate from the advertising algorithm in that we don't replace the most engaging posts in News Feed with sponsored ones.
Some other background points for context:
The argument here is based on a few anecdotes of one post from one year to a totally different post from another year.
This is an apples-to-oranges comparison; you can't compare engagement rates on two different posts year over year.
These anecdotes are taken as representative of what is happening overall.
In fact, the opposite is happening overall – engagement has gone up 34% on posts from people who have more than 10,000 followers.
For early adopters of Follow, we do see instances where their follower numbers have gone up but their engagement has gone down from a year ago.
When we first launched Follow, the press coverage combined with our marketing efforts drove large adoption. A lot of users started following public figures who had turned on Follow.
Over time, some of those users engaged less with those figures, and so we started showing fewer stories from those figures to users who didn't engage as much with their stories.
The News Feed changes we made in the fall to focus on higher quality stories may have also decreased the distribution for less engaging stories from public figures.
In the past six months, however, we have introduced changes to solve the above instance – the goal being to promote more content from public figures. These include organic units in NF such as "most shared on ," "most shared about ," and redesigned feed stories for link shares that feature larger images and longer descriptions. Our index of partners has already seen a significant increase in traffic (35%) due to the introduction of these units.
We are constantly working to improve people's experience with News Feed, and changes like the above we think will surface more of the right posts to the right people.
By the way: The question of how Facebook's partners ought to view a company that moves fast and breaks stuff was one of the central themes of conversation between my colleague Mike "The Tat" Isaac and Facebook partnership czar Dan Rose last month at D: Dive Into Media. Worth reviewing again here:

VIDEO: What Jews Endure
on the Temple Mount

Topics:JerusaleWhen a group of easily identifiable religious Jews is actually allowed to ascend Jerusalem's Temple Mount, the reaction of Muslim worshippers typically borders on open violence.
Jews (and Christians) are often prevented by Israeli police from entering the Temple Mount compound for fear of Muslim hostility. And even when groups are granted entry, most are not easily identifiable as Jews (most Orthodox Jews believe it is wrong to ascend the Temple Mount lest they inadvertently enter the area of the "Holy of Holies").
But every once in a while, an Orthodox Jewish group will visit Judaism's holiest site. And when they do, the Jews' treatment at the hands of the adherents of the so-called "Religion of Peace" is simply disgraceful.
In the following video, one such group can be seen being harassed and even assaulted by a large Muslim mob, as Israeli police officers try desperately to maintain order. Among the group of Jewish visitors are a number of children, who are various points in the video can be seen crying and fearfully clinging to their parents.
One of the adults in the group tries to calm the children by saying, "Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! This is our place!"
The incident was filmed and uploaded to YouTube by a Temple Mount movement headed by Linda Olmert, the sister-in-law of recently convicted former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. Linda recently spoke to Israel Today about the situation for Jews on the Temple Mount.
Linda Olmert's interview appears in the May issue of Israel Today Magazine. SUBSCRIBE NOW to read it!

Stoke 1 Arsenal 0
Arsenal's Barclays Premier League title challenge suffered a blow as Jon Walters' second-half penalty saw them condemned to a 1-0 defeat at Stoke.
Walters stepped up in the 76th minute to slot home a spot-kick he had won when his flick struck the arm of Laurent Koscielny in the Gunners box.
The result, coupled with Chelsea's win at Fulham, means second-placed Arsenal are now four points adrift of the Blues with 10 top-flight matches left to play each.
Meanwhile, Manchester City in third are two points behind Arsenal with two games in hand.
Stoke were certainly good value for their victory, only their second in 11 Premier League fixtures, as they claimed another notable scalp for the season - following on from home triumphs against Chelsea and Manchester United – and once again proved to be Arsenal's bogey side.
Since the Potters were promoted to the top-flight in 2008, they have hosted Arsenal seven times and lost only once.
As this game got under way, there was plenty of noise being generated from the stands at the Britannia Stadium, with Potters captain Ryan Shawcross, four years after his tackle left Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey with a broken leg, being booed by a section of away fans and some of their counterparts chanting about Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, who once suggested Stoke employ "rugby" tactics.
On the field, though, things were more serene, the match struggling to spark into life. Walters sent a header wide from a delightful Marko Arnautovic cross around the quarter-hour mark and saw the assistant referees' flag had been raised, before Santi Cazorla advanced to the edge of the box to fire Arsenal's first attempt on goal off-target.
Olivier Giroud failed to make the most of a whipped Kieran Gibbs delivery from the left as he went to meet it with his head, and Asmir Begovic then easily collected a nodded attempt from the France striker.
At the other end, a deflected Steven Nzonzi pass came to Peter Crouch, who shot into the side-netting, and Arsenal's response saw Lukas Podolski lash the ball wide having been fed by Mikel Arteta.
Perhaps as a sign of frustration, some fairly hefty challenges followed, one of which involved Giroud in a sandwich between Marc Wilson and Glenn Whelan. The incident resulted in a Stoke free-kick, although replays appeared to show that Whelan had stood on Giroud's ankle.
Whelan then brought a diving save out of Wojciech Szczesny just prior to the break with a swerving strike from the edge of the box, before Cazorla called Begovic into action by thumping a shot from similar range.
It was an encouraging way for the half to finish, and it was Stoke who looked to keep the tempo up in the early stages of the second period.
Nzonzi sent a tame header at Szczesny, who then made a hash of dealing with a Geoff Cameron cross, leading to a goalmouth scramble that Arsenal survived.
Crouch diverted the ball wide with a miscued acrobatic attempt and then stretched to get a harmless boot to a Charlie Adam free-kick that it seemed he would have been better attacking with a header.
Stoke continued to press and after Szczesny dived to turn a glanced Crouch header behind, the corner led to the ball dropping nicely for Cameron, but he could only poke wide.
The Potters were rewarded around 10 minutes later when Koscielny was adjudged to have handled the ball and Walters, putting past penalty misses behind him, made no mistake from the spot, prompting chants of "1-0 to the rugby team" from the Stoke faithful.
Mesut Ozil flashed a shot across Begovic's goal and his fellow Arsenal substitute Yaya Sanogo then struck over the bar as the Gunners – for whom Giroud, with his frequent tumbles to the turf, had turned into a pantomime villain – failed to find an equaliser.

Still from Warm, Warm, Warm Spring Mouths 2013, HD video with 5.1 surround, 13'. Commissioned by Film and Video Umbrella and Jerwood Visual Arts.
Your video installation Us Dead Talk Love, currently on view at MoMA PS1, makes use of hi-def and surround-sound technologies. How do you approach these in your video installation process? How did you approach the installation specifically for Chisenhale?
It's predicated on immersion, I suppose. An attempt to address the body whole, rather than privilege sight, hearing. This might begin with a redressing of the balance between ocular and aural, and pan down to take in the whole wobbling form, up to some emotional affect – the surround sound penetrating, the visuals interrupting and shifting themselves between depths of field and vast cosmic spaces; infinitesimal motes of dust. These technologies are corporeal in their totalising address, which I see as dichotomous to the material reality of the technology – which seems to be dissipated or perhaps simply deferred to some desperate mine in some OTHER continent. The combined effect being one of possession – the work finding its home entirely within the body of the audience.
You've spoken of the tension between text or writing and filmic realization in your work before. How did this tension come into play during the production of your work in Us Dead Talk Love? Was it exacerbated or sublimated by your chosen technologies?
If I had to choose, I'd say sublimated – though I think that it's more straightforwardly performative. The one to and of the other. New media as a home for these things. Whether that's somewhat apologetic for the a failure of these things to stand alone is moot, I hope.
