Bittorrent: Closed Source and Windows Only
Version 6.0 of the Bittorrent filesharing client will no longer be Open Source and it is currently available for Windows only.
Bittorrent Inc. has released beta version 6.0 of its filesharing client, and will not be publishing the source code for this release.
The last Open Source version of the Bittorrent client is version 5.0.8, which is available as a collection of Python scripts, as a Debian and Suse package, for the Mac, and for Windows.
Since acquiring µTorrent December 7 2006, Bittorrent Inc. has been working on merge the Bittorrent and µTorrent clients. Bittorrent was previously Open Source, whereas µTorrent was freeware.
The acquisition and uncertainty about the future of the Open Source version has been the subject of month-long discussions in the µTorrent. Today, Bittorent is focusing both on developing its filesharing client and on distributing multimedia content in cooperation with movie and music rights owners.
Whatever else happens, the Bittorrent protocol itself will remain Open Source according to the FAQ on the acquisition of µTorrent by Bittorrent. Additionally, the source code for a reference implementation of the new closed source client will be published.

For families that have always favored a traditional white-bread stuffing, this side dish will seem both familiar and exotic. The Italian sausage provides a savory note that goes great with the fresh fennel (if you've never used it, think of it as celery with pizzazz). The optional toasted pine nuts are rich and buttery, but mild enough not to interfere with the other flavors.
Slice the bread into 3/4-inch cubes and allow to air-dry for several hours (or dry in a 350º oven for about 10 minutes). Transfer the bread to a very large mixing bowl and set it aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Poke each sausage several times with a fork and drop into the boiling water. Boil for 13 to 17 minutes, until the center of the sausage is no longer pink. Transfer to a bowl and cool. Score the casings and peel them off. Quarter the sausage lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces. Set aside.
Melt the butter in a very large sauté pan. Stir in the onion, fennel, carrot, and bay leaf and sauté over medium heat for 8 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the mushrooms and sausage. Cover and sauté 3 to 4 minutes more. Remove from the heat.
Remove the bay leaf and add the sautéed mixture, fresh herbs, and toasted pine nuts (if desired) to the bread. Gently toss the mixture and add the chicken broth, 1/4 cup or less at a time, until the bread seems moist but not soggy. Taste the stuffing, adding salt and pepper. Add the eggs and mix gently. To stuff your bird, see the Herb-roasted Turkey recipe. Makes 10 servings. Test Kitchen Tip: To cook the stuffing on the side, spoon it into a large, shallow, buttered baking dish. Cover with buttered tinfoil, buttered side down, and bake in a 350º oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, until crusted over.

The headquarters hotel for NPTC 2014 is the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza Hotel, 35 West Fifth Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202. NPTC has a block of sleeping rooms reserved at the Hilton at the special rate* of $137.00 per night (single/double). We urge you to make your reservations now by calling 1(513)421-9100 or 1-800-HILTONS. You can also make your reservation online --> CLICK HERE. NPTC has an obligation to filling this block of rooms and they will sell-out quickly, so please make your hotel reservation as soon as possible.

The Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza Hotel, site of all general sessions and meal functions for NPTC 2014, opened in 1931 and is a National Historic Landmark and charter member of Historic Hotels of America. The hotel features breathtaking French Art Deco that has been restored to its 1930's grandeur. With rare Brazilian rosewood paneling, indirect German silver-nickel light fixtures and soaring ceiling murals, the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza hotel is one of the world's finest examples of French Art Deco. The Duke Energy Convention Center (DECC) is a state-of-the-art exhibition center and marketplace located in downtown Cincinnati, a block from the Hilton Hotel.

All major airlines service Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) . For airport taxi and shuttle information, click here.
* Note about Group Room Rate: NPTC negotiates the lowest possible room rates with guaranteed room blocks to accommodate the largest number of likely NPTC attendees; however, for NPTC to obtain a sufficient block of rooms, hotels will not reduce the room block rate to the rock bottom levels often available shortly before or the day of the event. Therefore, NPTC has no control of actual room rates which may be available at the time of room registration. Based on demand and changing market conditions, such rates may be lower or higher than NPTC's official special rate. Further, once the NPTC room block cut-off date has expired, members are at risk of finding no rooms available, available but at a higher rate, and sometimes available and at a lower rate. If warranted, NPTC may increase its room block commitment to accommodate demand.

The best compliment I ever received in college wasn't praise for a good test grade or a positive review on an essay — it was that I had changed someone's opinion about sorority girls.
Across college campuses, there is a stigma attached to Greek life that's hard to shake — and sometimes rightfully so. Notorious for the debauchery portrayed by television, movies and the media, going Greek is the quintessential college experience everyone loves to hate. However, there are four common stereotypes about Greek life that can be debunked.
• "Greeks only care about themselves."
When you join a Greek organization, you not only represent your chapter, but you represent important causes. Greek organizations make up the largest network of volunteers in the U.S., donating more than 10 million hours of volunteer service each year. Many fraternities and sororities have specific philanthropies they're directly involved with, and the impact those chapters have on those charities is significant.
Greek students raise more than $7 million each year for various organizations, according to Baylor University's Greek-life information site. Each semester fraternities and sororities work to raise money for their specific charity, and they have a good time doing it. Events like dance competitions, baseball tournaments and benefit concerts pepper a Greek student's weekly planner, but it's not for nothing. These events have been known to raise money and awareness for philanthropies that may not have otherwise received aid. Organizations such as Court Appointed Special Advocates, the Ronald McDonald House Charities and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation all have national representation from Greek chapters.
• "Greek life isn't taken seriously in the professional world."
As you enter the workforce post-grad, every advantage you can have above the competition is crucial, and your extracurricular work can be the difference between trash bin and the interview slot.
As of 2012, more than 9 million people nationally are part of the Greek system, according to George Washington University's Greek-life website. That's a large network of people you may be able to connect with when pursuing a career. Your experience shows leadership, commitment and professionalism to the working world, and it can be a great topic of conversation during an interview. Additionally, Greek life can be a helpful asset to your initial job search. Members of alumni chapters are excellent resources when it comes to finding businesses who are hiring or for seeking career advice. You never know — someone from your Greek organization may be looking to hire a recent college grad at his or her company.
• "Greeks don't branch out beyond their social circle."
Most chapters have requirements for their members that they must be involved in other groups on campus in addition to their fraternity or sorority. These clubs ensure that individuals stay active within their college community and give students the opportunity make a difference at their university. Nationwide, more than 85% of student leaders are also involved in the Greek community, according to a Greek-life information guide from East Carolina University. Many Greeks are active in student government, honor societies and advocacy groups on campus.
Being involved in a Greek organization also provides opportunities to make a difference in the Greek community. Members have a chance to hold leadership positions in their respective Greek councils and help plan Greek-wide events — all which help to better your resume and yourself.
• "Sororities and fraternities are notorious partiers."
It's the stigma that's depicted in countless TV shows and movies: the idea that if you're in Greek life, your main priority is partying. While there are incidents that solidify this notion, there is rarely information presented about what Greeks are doing to combat it. It would be naïve to say that partying doesn't occur — in any college setting — but when it becomes too much, Greek organizations can actually induce more good than harm.
Many chapters have programs in place that provide support and help for members battling substance abuse or other disorders. These programs and committees provide members confidential ways to seek advice and find the proper avenues to receive help. Many fraternities and sororities host educational programming about the dangers of drinking and partying, and even offer alternative events multiple times a semester. In a Greek organization, members have an entire chapter standing behind them in order to find the help they may need — and that's better than facing it alone.
In reality, Greek life on the whole rarely lives up to the stereotypes. There is usually more studying than partying. Most nights in a sorority house include popcorn instead of pillow fights and an episode of The Bachelor instead of the ones at a bar. And while there are those individuals who give a reason for the stereotype, there's always a larger group of Greeks who will be working to fight that misconception.

Arkansas Legislative Approval of State Agency Rules Amendment, Issue 1 (2014)
Current Arkansas law requires state agencies to submit changes to their administrative rules to the legislature, but it does not grant the legislature the power to approve or disapprove those changes.[4] The ballot language for all three legislatively-referred constitutional amendments on the 2014 ballot have faced legal issues due to a 2013 act removing the attorney general's authority to write popular names for the measures. For more information on this complication and the possible lawsuits it may incur, see the path to the ballot section.
Text of measure
Constitutional changes
If approved, Issue 1 will amend Article 5 of the Arkansas Constitution by adding a new section to read as follows:[1]
|§ 42. Review and approval of administrative rules.
(a) The General Assembly may provide by law:
(b) The review and approval by a legislative committee under subsection (a) of this section may occur during the interim or during a regular, special, or fiscal session of the General Assembly.[5]
- Sen. Jonathan Dismang (R-28), sponsor SJR 7[6]
- Rep. Gary Deffenbaugh (R-79)
- Rep. Debra Hobbs (R-94)
- Sen. Uvalde Lindsey (D-4)
- Rep. Deffenbaugh supported SJR 7, saying,
SJR 7 is a good bill because it keeps agencies from making their own rules. It will give more Legislatives [sic] oversight.[5]
- Rep. Hobbs said in favor of the amendment,
|I was somewhat surprised when I first served on ALC and learned that legislators reviewed rule changes, but did not have the authority to approve or disapprove them. I believe the approval of SJR 7 will be in the best interests of Arkansans, but an explanation will need to be given for voters to understand the importance of it.[5]
- Sen. Lindsey said of the issue,
|Over a number of years, the Legislature has chaffed at it's [sic] inability to keep contracts, rule and regulations developed by state agencies from going into effect after a simple and almost perfunctory legislative review. SJR-7 would change that to provide legislative approval authority over such issues.
I think that is a good thing, for it provides a check and balance between the executive and legislative branches of government.[5]
Sen. Stephanie Flowers (D-25) voted against SJR 7 in the Senate.[3]
Path to the ballot
A majority vote is required in both chambers of the Arkansas State Legislature to refer a measure to the ballot, per Section 22 of Article 19 of the Arkansas Constitution.
The Arkansas State Senate voted 32 to 1 in approval of the measure on April 12, 2013. The amendment was then transmitted to the House of Representatives. The House voted unanimously to approve the bill on April 16, 2013, thereby referring the measure to voters. This made SJR 7 the first of a three total referrals that voters will see from the legislature in 2014.[3]

Ballot language legal challenges
All three of the legislatively-referred constitutional amendments for the 2014 ballot faced difficulties due to an apparent mistake made by Senate Bill 821 in the 2013 regular session. The bill, which became Act 1413, was controversial on its own grounds, but directly impacted these measures by removing the requirement that the attorney general write popular names for the amendments put forward by the legislature.[7] While initially appearing to be a minor procedural issue, Arkansas law requires ballot measures to have popular titles to appear on the ballot. Attorney General Dustin McDaniel (D) had endorsed Act 1413 in 2013 without realizing this complication. The matter was brought to attention by the secretary of state's request of opinions on the matter.[8]
On January 23, 2014, the secretary of state's office announced that they would use language provided by the attorney general's office and from the measures themselves to prepare the ballot language. The attorney general had claimed that the secretary of state had the authority to do so, but Martha Adcock, general counsel for the secretary of state's office, has expressed some doubt over the process. She said,
|Anybody can sue. This is no guarantee by us saying we're going to provide and use the attorney generals' popular name that somebody won't sue and say there's no authority for doing so.[5]
—Martha Adcock, general council to Arkansas Secretary of State Mark Martin, [9]
It appears that some groups may try to use this legal gray area to challenge the legislatively-referred constitutional amendments. A group opposed to the term limits amendment and another that had dropped its initiated ballot measure for ethics reforms due to the legislatively-referred constitutional amendment on the same issue have both expressed the possibility of using a lawsuit to challenge the legality of the measures due to the confusion caused by Act 1413.[9]

Treasury Department's "extraordinary measures" are running out
- $35Bcash on hand remaining for the U.S. Treasury Department, an amount they've been directing through so-called "extraordinary measures" (accounting tricks with government funds, essentially) to try to keep paying the bills. That maneuvering and wrangling is expected to run out of steam soon, however — the Treasury estimates they'll run out of ways to pay on Thursday. source

I teach many of the human biology courses within the biology major. I believe it is my role to lead students to begin bridging the gap between basic science and clinical practice. I offer a unique perspective as I have been a practicing Physical Therapist since 1996 in addition to my role as a professor at Bethany Lutheran College. Many examples of conceptual science can be explained and applied though the use of clinical cases that I have experienced in the clinic. I want to pass that knowledge and experience on to you as a student. In addition, my goal is to pass on a love of life-long learning. Learning can be so much fun!
I love to play golf and enjoy Bethany athletics as I was a Bethany student athlete many years ago.

Terror and Wonder: The Gothic ImaginationFrom Friday
Fri Oct 3 - Tue Jan 27 2015. British Library, 96 Euston Rd, NW1 2DB
This week will see the start of the UK's most comprehensive show of Gothic literature, Terror and Wonder: The Gothic Imagination at the British Library. The exhibition will explore the enduring influence the genre has had on literature, film, fashion, music and art, 250 years after Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto crept out of the shadows. Doubts about the significance of Walpole's invention? It birthed Bram Stoker's Dracula, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Robert Louis Stevenson's Jekyll and Hyde, as well as inspiring artists such as Blake and Fuseli, all of them represented in this show, along with work by their modern descendants: Angela Carter, Mervyn Peake, the Chapman Brothers and Stanley Kubrick.

MissionFine Californian wines poured in Bethnal Green. 250 Paradise Row, E2 9LE
Mission, a wine bar named after the San Francisco neighbourhood, is a big step up for Michael and Charlotte Sager-Wilde (of critically acclaimed wine bar Sager & Wilde). The huge railway arch is low lit in the evenings, with a cathedral-like vaulted and corrugated ceiling the colour of Carrara marble. Apart from the big brands, Californian wines are no longer a bargain in the UK, so most glasses here cost in the £5-10 pound range. But what great wines – imaginatively chosen, and free of the California clichés. The short wine list only has a score of wines daily, but they change frequently, so there's always something new served by the glass on each visit. Mission places as much emphasis on the kitchen as the grape. Chef James de Jong turns out sunny dishes that match the wine country food, such as tender octopus with tomato and grains of farro, and desserts include a buttermilk pudding that wobbled like Beverly Hills lips.
Gone GirlFrom Friday
Released Fri Oct 3. Cinemas nationwide
Director David Fincher adapts bestselling novelist Gillian Flynn with a cast including Rosamund Pike (finally getting a proper starring role), Ben Affleck and the ever-wonderful Neil Patrick Harris. In Flynn's rip-roaring novel, a husband (Affleck) goes in search of his missing wife (Pike) and turns up a lot more than he bargained for. But while we did enjoy the book, we'll admit to being ever so slightly disappointed that Fincher has chosen to follow 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' with yet another pulpy crime thriller, particularly when his last three original projects – 'Zodiac', 'Benjamin Button' and 'The Social Network' – showed a fine director becoming a truly great one. That said, this is truly a pulse-racing watch.
Rock Paper Scissors ChampionshipsSaturday
Sat Oct 4. The Green Man, 1 Poultry, EC2R 8EJ
The sporting contest where everyone has the means to compete is back for another year and sees 250 competitors raring to stare at fingers in an effort to be crowned UK RPS 2014 champion. Just because the rules are simple it doesn't mean there's no training, however: there are plenty of tactics, tricks and tendencies to learn, though you could always just hope lady luck is on your side. Tickets include £3 of RPS challenge money, which you can use to bet on the outcomes of games.
Sheeps – Wembley PreviewsFrom Monday
Mon Sep 29 - Sat Oct 4. The Invisible Dot Ltd, 2 Northdown St, N1 9BG
The title 'Wembley Previews' is a wonderful juxtaposition to Sheeps's low-key style. This ace sketch trio – made up of Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Liam Williams, Daran Johnson and Alistair Roberts – are original, inventive and properly funny, and a few years ago we said they were 'one of the most exciting sketch acts to emerge in years'. 'Thanks, guys,' their website says, 'We use this quote on basically everything even though it was about three years ago now.' Yeah, we noticed. But it's still true.
Turner Prize 2014From Tuesday
Tue Sep 30 - Sun Jan 4 2015. Tate Britain, Millbank, SW1P 4RG

Duke DumontThursday
Thu Oct 2. Village Underground, 54 Holywell Lane, EC2A 3PQ
Back in 2013, just before Daft Punk went pop with 'Get Lucky', a less well-known producer with a similarly dancey past hit the jackpot with 'Need U (100%)' – a soulful house banger that brought much-needed credibility to the top of the charts. It marked a major shift for Adam Dyment – aka the Duke – who followed it up earlier this year with a second consecutive Number One, 'I Got U'. Next step: a bells-and-whistles live show. And here it is. Bangin'.

Inflation and the Dollar: Strategic Hedging in a Down Economy
David is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Due in part to quantitative easing (QE), recent actions by the Federal Reserve, and other negative externalities, the U.S. dollar could be headed for some trouble. One way to sidestep the oncoming currency crisis and current/future inflation is to hedge into foreign currency. Currently, a lot of investors are fleeing to the safety of gold and other commodities that produce no passive income; there's a better way to hedge inflation.
Here's what it is. First choose a stable currency. For the sake of our analysis we'll examine the Swiss franc, the British pound, and the Canadian dollar. Next, pick an American Depository Receipt (ADR) whose company you know well, as Buffett astutely and routinely comments "invest in what you know." Perhaps, a perfect long-term play between on the commodities market can is Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS-B). As such, Royal Dutch is a perfect example of an inflation-resistant commodity play in energy. On top of this trait, it offers a monster dividend, currently pegged at 5.30%, which because it's an U.K.-based entity has the added bonus of no foreign dividend withholding taxes, with quarterly dividends issued in pounds sterling, which are then converted to U.S. dollars and paid to shareholders accordingly. Therefore, investors reap the full benefit the foreign currency provides by being diversified by the dividend payouts. Overall, it's a pretty solid deal.
Next, we'll look at UBS (NYSE: UBS), one of Switzerland's most prominent and financially sound institutions. Like Royal Dutch, dividends are paid in the foreign currency, in this case Swiss francs, one of the most stable currencies in the world. Again, dividends are paid by the parent company (i.e. UBS) and then converted to dollars receivable to U.S.-based shareholders. Pretty straight forward.
Last, we'll examine Toronto-Dominion Bank (NYSE: TD), a Canadian financial institution. As you might imagine, dividends are distributed in Canadian dollars, which currently is significantly more stable and with greater upside to the U.S. dollar; and similarly, once declared, those monies are then converted to U.S. dollars giving investors more bang for the buck. As a final note to help sweeten the deal, TD offers periodic a premium dividend of 1% (please see my other post) on monies reinvested in their dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP), which is outstanding in my opinion.
As mentioned earlier, with all these investments what's significant and what separates them from commodities like gold ETF's is each one produces passive income, where the ETF's do not. I strongly believe this is a significant advantage to investors, since, at least at the current moment; dividend income is tax-advantaged and very easy to collect.
Keep searching
These are just a few! There are even more foreign dividend stocks. While, no stock is a sure thing, each one has its advantages and disadvantages and must be carefully weighed prior and during investment. But some ADR's are a lot better quality than others. By examining each opportunity carefully, you'll go a long way toward improving your investing skills and learning how to separate out the most attractive investments, foreign dividends, or otherwise, from the rest.

Kate Hudson Is Not Listening To Her Mother
July 6, 2009 / Posted by: Michael K
Apparently, Goldie Hawn thinks that her daughter Kate Hudson needs to stop bouncing on A-Rod's veiny roid stick. Goldie also thinks that Kate needs to stick some Fen Phen pills up her cooze, so it won't be as hongray for dick! Kate is not listening to her mother. She is obviously still busting vagina bombs all over A-Roid's dude tittays.
At a Yankees game on Friday night, Kate was front row cheering on A-Roid as he hit his 564th home run.
I'm actually a little surprised that these two twats are still together. Maybe it really true true love? Hah. And HAH. I'm also a little surprised that I've never really noticed that Kate looks like the bastard love child of Brit Brit and Dopey.

i Monday, November 29, 1993 Volume 56 Number 33 3 Weber State football putting By Mark Forsberg Signpost managing editor Football Coach Dave Arslanian has begun a quest for $500,000 to sa ve Weber State University's football team, drawing on resources from students, athletic clubs and the community, he said. The football team, with its $1.3 million budget, was recently targeted by administration for cutbacks. The team may be eliminated unless it can earn another $500,000 for next season.Arslanian said he is trying to develop a plan to raise the money. An informal deadline for the plan has been set on Dec. 15, when it will be presented to President Paul Thompson.Friday, football players set up booths in Newgate Mall, Layton Hills Mall and Ogden City Mall, he said. The players passed out pamphlets and asked for support. "There's a lot of things going on now to express our problem," he said. Arslanian said the team will be drawing support and suggestions from the Wildcat Club, the Gridiron Club and other interested students and community members. "There has been a lot of community involvement," he said. Professor keeps life more than just simple By Brenda Nicholas Signpost staff writer He doesn't have a car or a television.His apartment is furnished with only a small table, so he sleeps on the floor in a sleeping bag. He keeps his heat no higher than 55 degrees in the winter, to keep his pipes from freezing. In his kitchen you will find only a pair of chopsticks, a paring knife, a cooking pot, a mug and a wooden spoon. IT" Lyall Crawford Lyall Crawford, professor of communications, is not poor, and he is not in trouble with a collection agency. He is a minimalist who chooses to eliminate clutter from his life. "Eccentric" and "strange" are terms he occasionally hears in reaction to his lifestyle; but to Crawford, living a simple life encompasses a whole spectrum of deep philosophy. "The less you have the more it t now r , i ' - - - ' fe.il - f "" . , - -rC- : ! ; L' iJ-:,4:vt C . ' . . .-V v ' . v. ' -f STEVE COHUWTHE SIGNPOST Weber State University football team has taken up residence in the Ogden City Mall to try to reach members of the community for supportin saving the team from being cut. Arslanian said the team will use more than money to convince Thompson to keep the team. "The president needs to be convinced emotionally and by our plan," he said. "Some people would just as soon see the team gone," Arslanian said. "But we're trying to get support from the students and com is," Crawford said. The idea of being a minimalist is to eliminate a lot of tangible items that occupy your concern. "If you don't have a lot of things, you have a certain clarity physically, but eventually you have a certain clarity mentally," he said. Crawford compared the effects of a simplistic life to meditation. "Your mind gets elevated when you are not concerned about your stuff. You have more time to use your mind in a different way." Being a minimalist, Crawford does not have to dedicate a large portion of his life totime-consuming tasks like housework and car maintenance. "I am able to read, think and write," he said. He also said he has more time to spend with his friends. Not having a television, which seems to be a mandatory item in most homes, Crawford said he See Crawford page 6 munity to show what an important program football is. "I don't think many programs on campus could undergo the scrutiny the football team has gotten," he said. "I think they (administration) would find problems no matter where they looked. They have just chosen to isolate football." Health, PE requisites dropped for everyone Beginning Jan. 1, 1994, physical education and health requirements will no longer be a graduation requirement of any student regardless of the catalog they follow. That means students graduating at the end of fall quarter will have to have PE and health requirements met. Those graduating after winter quarter 1994 will not have to take PE or health. The Curriculum and General Education Committee submitted a recommendation to the faculty senate that was designed to go to the administration regarding the implementation of the proposal last spring to do away with the requirements. The student senate supported the recommendation. At the Nov. 18 faculty senate meeting, the recommendation went to administrative representative Provost RobertSmith, who accepted it without further consideration. Student senator Jon Healy, who sponsored the bill, said in fairness to all students, the new requirement should apply to up fight The football players are trying to keep the team alive, but also have obligations to school, he said. "When our season ended the first instruction we gave our team was to get their noses in books," he said. A planning meeting will be held by Arslanian today to discuss various strategies. everyone regardless of which catalog they plan on using to satisfy graduation requirements.Healy said that passing the bill will make things less confusing for students, who may wonder if the new requirement applies to them or not. Making the requirement retroactive will also lessen the burden put on the registration office. The office is inundated by students who soon will be graduating, asking for waivers on their PE and health credits. "One lady that's sitting on our committee is from the registration office, and she says it's an administrative nightmare having people request waiver," he said. Healy said he received a lot of support for passing the recommendation. He surveyed 276 students and found that almost 90 percent were in favor of making the PE, health requirement retroactive.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Gold futures rise back above $1,700 an ounce on Tuesday
Gold futures rose Tuesday, rebounding as investors regained some appetite for the metal after a drop of nearly 3% in the previous session, to move back above $1,700 an ounce.
Gold for December delivery added $23.10, or 1.4% to $1,701.70 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. It touched a high of $1,704.
The metal had closed out Monday's session at a four-week low, dropping 2.7% to begin the holiday-shortened week as investors fled to cash on mounting worries about global debt and the uncertain economic outlook.
But on Tuesday, "bargain-hunting buying has come back into the market, providing a nice rebound that bodes well for gold's near- and longer-term prospects," said Brien Lundin, editor of Gold Newsletter.
The latest surrounding Europe's sovereign-debt crisis as well as the congressional supercommittee's failure to come to grips with the U.S. deficit will "add headline risk and volatility," he said in an emailed. "But the only viable option left in either case is greater money creation, and this is the fundamental trend that will continue to drive metals prices higher."
Some analysts, however, were downbeat about the outlook for gold prices.
"Given the uncertainties facing the euro zone, particularly with the [Moody's Investors Service credit rating] downgrade threat facing France, the complex remains vulnerable to further pressure as traders continue to lock in profits and maintain sufficient cash liquidity," said James Moore, London-based research analyst at Fast Markets, in a note.
For now, metal markets found some support in a weaker dollar, as the dollar index , which compares the greenback against a basket of six major currencies, fell to 78.195, from 78.315 late Monday.
The broader metals complex tracked gold higher, paced by silver.
Silver for December delivery added 94 cents, or 3%, to $32.06 an ounce.
December copper , the contract with the most volume, rose 4 cents, or 1.3%, to $3.35 a pound.
January platinum gained $19.20, or 1.2%, to $1,563 an ounce, and palladium for December delivery added $6.65, or 1.1%, to $592.45 an ounce. - MarketWatch

The eight prep standouts on the cover of KSFY's Pigskin Preview are single-minded in the purpose of winning a state championship.
All of them are leaders of their respective teams who will likely take their unique skill sets to the next level after their senior season draws to a close.
Some of them have already felt the powerful feeling of being a champion and want it again. Others are motivated to reaching the highest level of team sports. All understand and cherish the value of team, knowing that each player has a role like an award-winning orchestra.
These are leaders of the highest quality, who show the way on and off the field. To win requires hard work that begins in the offseason and continues through every practice and each play in the course of a season.
These are the men who work through adversity, lead by example and keep driving until they reach the top.
Nate Gerry, Sr. SF Washington - 6-2, 210, WR/DB
Jon Hander, Sr. SF Washington - 6-2, 184, QB
Hander - Gerry Looks to Lead Washington to Sixth Straight Title Game
When 2012-13 year comes to an end, Jon Hander and Nate Gerry will go their separate ways. Gerry, perhaps the state's most-coveted recruit, is bound for Nebraska to continue his football career. Hander has signed to play baseball at Kansas but may elect to play DI football with the right offer.
While the future is bright for the pair, both are focused on returning the AA state championship to Sioux Falls Washington, the nation's leader with 38th overall prep football championships.
As Hander and Gerry try to lead their school to its third playoff title, they also seek a return to an unprecedented sixth consecutive appearance at the DakotaDome.
"It is where we have our focus," said Gerry, a two-way starter for head coach Brian Hermanson's Warriors.
"It will take a lot of hard work and dedication. Everyone has to do their part for it to happen," he said.
Hander, one of the state's top baseball prospects, is the team's quarterback. He, too, knows that everyone has to buy in. "We have a great group of guys. As long as everyone stays together - we have good chemistry - we can make a good run at it," said Hander, whose brother Ryan plays baseball at Nebraska.
A year ago, Hander and Gerry helped the Warriors overcome a 1-2 start to become one of the hottest teams in AA before falling to SF Roosevelt in the finals. Both were sophomores on the dominant 2010 championship team that finished 13-0 and outscored playoff opponents, 152-7.
During their career at Washington, the program has won two titles in three tries with an overall 35-2 record, including a run of 26 straight victories.
Gerry, who helped lead Washington High to its second consecutive state track title in the spring, is a big-play performer, who caught 35 passes for 623 yards and 10 total TDs a year ago.
On defense, he was part of an outstanding unit, accumulating 73 tackles, 6 TFLs, three interceptions, two sacks and a fumble recovery.
Hander, who may step in and play a little defense this season, is coming off a stellar junior campaign when he completed 121-of-194 passes for 1,764 yards with 17 TDs and 10 rushing TDs.
He, too, has the propensity for making things happen. In last year's title game loss to Roosevelt, he had a pair of TD runs.
"We have the tradition and history of winning. Everyone has the same one goal and that is to get to the Dome and take care of business," said Hander. "We have to continue to work hard and never let up."
Cole Langer, Sr. Dell Rapids - 6-3, 230, RB/LB
Langer Works to Lead Dell Rapids to Third Straight Title
After an injury plagued season in 2011, Cole Langer of Dell Rapids is healthy again which may not be good for opponents.
A senior fullback/linebacker, Langer is one of the main reasons why the Dell Rapids Quarriers could lift another championship trophy in mid-November at USD's DakotaDome.
A two-time all-state selection, Langer carries winning genes. His grandfather Jim is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame after a stellar career SDSU and later with the Minnesota Vikings and Miami Dolphins, where he was the starting center on the undefeated 1972 Super Bowl champions.
"He tells me to have fun with it, play my game and work hard," said Langer, an aggressive linebacker and hard-charging running back who has been part of a Dell Rapids team that is 23-1 the past two seasons.
While he was on the field for the 35-0 title game win over rival West Central a year ago, he was forced to sit out five games after suffering a groin injury. Langer, an all-state basketball player, finished with 39 carries for 388 yards and five TDs but didn't become healthy again until after the season ended..
Two years ago, as a sophomore, he played a huge role in the Quarriers' title run which ended in a 55-20 win over Harrisburg. A key cog in that attack, he rushed 133 times for 1,236 yards with 24 TDs and 102 tackles.
"We are trying to be a good team that have a chance to win (another championship. If you play every down like it is your last then you might be there at the end," he said.
As he looks ahead to the 2012 season, Langer wants to finish strong for a program, directed by head coach Steve Hansen, which will go for a third straight title for the first time in school history.
"We just want to do well," said Langer, whose school has made six straight playoff appearances with three 10-win seasons since 2006. "Working hard makes that happen and we are doing that."
Anthony Huber, Sr. Bridgewater-Emery/Ethan - 6-2, 215, FB/LB
Huber Knows Small Things Made Difference as BEE Goes for Three
Anthony Huber of Bridgewater/Emery/Ethan has learned the value of small things from head coach Jeff
Van Leur, the active wins leader among coaches in SD 9-man football.
As the Seahawks set their sights on a third consecutive title in 9AA, Huber will relay his coaches' message on fundamentals to several new faces who will play key roles in the year ago.
"A lot of these guys haven't had their chance and this is it," said Huber. "We have to get the small things down, like blocking and tackling the right way, position of hands, footwork and timing. If you do that, good things may happen," he said.
Huber knows how hard work and staying tuned in with the proper technique pays off in the end.
"We have a tradition and we have to try and keep it going," said Huber, who was spurred to play football by his brother Jeremy, who later played at Augustana.
As he begins his senior campaign, Huber has been one of the state's best players for two seasons. A starter since his sophomore year, he has accumulated 266 career tackles along with 306 rushes for 2,403 yards and 33 TDs.
In leading BEE to an 11-1 record and a state title win over Kimball/White Lake (38-26) in 2011, the senior fullback/linebacker accumulated 1,308 yards on the ground with 18 TDs and five receptions for 41 yards. He also had 142 tackles, including 80 solo stops, a sack and two interceptions.
Huber, who is considering various college options in football and track, was recently named the Augustana camp MVP and is ready to get going.
"At the end our ability to do those little things is how we will get better and how we win," he said.
Cody Bunger, Sr. Canistota - 6-3, 190, QB/FS
Bunger Tries to Keep Canistota Perfect
Cody Bunger had big shoes to fill when he took the reins of the Hawks a year ago.
In 2010 quarterback Sam Jolley directed Canistota to its first-ever team in a dominating 12-0 season that ranks as one of greatest seasons ever in 9-man ranks. As good as Canistota was in 2011, Bunger and Hawks may have been better in 2011.
Like his predecessor he orchestrated a perfect season as Canistota extended their winning streak to 24 games and outscored opponents, 620 to 61, including 216-6 in the playoffs. As the 2012 season opens, Bunger will try and again lead Canistota to another title, perhaps extending the winning streak past 30 games.
"We have high expectations," said Bunger, also a basketball standout who has started in hoops since an his freshman season. "We take pride in our program."
In his first year behind center, Bunger put together a spectacular season, completing 52-of-89 passes for 948 yards and 19 TDs with just one interception in the final regular season game. He also rushed for 1,192 yards on 82 carries or 14.54 yards per carry. He had five games with 100 yards rushing or more and put together a 256-yard effort in an early season win over perennial playoff power Hanson.
Named All-State, Bunger won the Joe Robbie MVP honors in the 66-6 title game verdict over Wall.
A two-way star, he added 26 tackles and seven interceptions as a free safety on the Hawks' defense that recorded eight shutouts and allowed just 61 points on the season.
While the pressure will be on every week to keep winning, Bunger and his mates will be ready.
"We learn how to deal with pressure right away in this program with coach (Lenny Schroeder) and the importance of staying together," said Bunger, who is considering both basketball and football college options
"On any night, you can be beaten. We have to play level-headed and with pride."
Issac Heard, Sr. Edgerton/Ellsworth, MN - 6-1, 215, QB
Heard Focused on Another Minnesota State Title
For Isaac Heard, playing quarterback and winning championships has always been in Isaac Heard's blood.
His brother and uncle both played quarterback and now he is having the time of his life in the role, leading his Edgerton/Ellsworth team to its first-ever state title with the objective of doing it again in 2012
"We are really excited about trying to do it again," said Heard, a senior quarterback who was named All-Region and honorable mention All-State a year ago. "We have a lot of guys working hard to getting ready for the season."
A year ago, Heard helped direct Edgerton/Ellsworth to a 14-0 record. As the year opened, the Flying Dutchmen were ranked #1 and they never gave up that spot. A few close calls were part of the run to the title but that is expected in any championship run.
"I just want to win another state championship, then my goals will be met," he said. "To do that, it means working hard and working together," said Heard, who rushed for 512 yards and eight TDs and clicked in the passing game, connecting of 167-of-250 passes for 2,750 yards and 35 TDs.
In the state title game, he threw for a Prep Bowl record 368 yards and five TDs.
Through it all, he knows champions are to be ready to go every week, taking on all comers.
"Everyone is going to put a target on our backs because they want to beat the #1 team. So we just have to make sure we put in that extra time and effort to keep us focused on another state championship."
Chase Marso, Sr. Brandon Valley - 6-3, 180, QB
Matt VandeBerg, Sr. Brandon Valley - 6-1, 165, WR
VandeBerg and Marso Look to Lead BV Back to the Top
A year ago, Brandon Valley was close to pulling off the biggest upset in AA, leading eventual champion SF Roosevelt late and driving in a quarterfinal playoff game. Then, a turnover led to a game-winning drive by the Rough Riders and in baseball lexicon - a walk-off field goal.
The excruciating loss to Roosevelt is motivating the Lynx, particularly two of its leaders, Chase Mars and Matthew Vandeberg.
One of the state's top QB-WR combinations, Mars and VandeBerg are focused, as are their teammates, on trying to bring home Brandon's Valley's seventh title, including its fourth at the AA level.
"Those kind of plays - that kind of finish leaves a bitter taste," said VandeBerg, who was named All-State a year ago after hauling in 67 passes for 1,081 yards and 16 TDs. A three year starter on defense, he also had 52 tackles and a school-record nine interceptions (14 for his career) as a standout defensive back.
Marso, who took over the Lynx's quarterback duties a year ago, echoed those comments.
"It loss to Roosevelt) will serve as a motivating force for us," said Marso, who had five TD passes in the Roosevelt game.
Actually adding fuel to the fire is the fact for the Lynx is being eliminated on the games' final play in consecutive seasons, also falling to Yankton, 12-9, on a last second 41-yard field goal in the 2010 playoffs.
"We have to make sure we are prepared and we are working hard to be ready," said VandeBerg, noting that those end of the season losses are tough to take but they also help drive a player and a team forward.
This offseason, VandeBerg, Marso and their Lynx teammates do champion training three days. And, VandeBerg also works on off days with a personal trainer Cory Walker (formally of the SF Storm), to improve his agility and receiving drills.
Marso, who played basketball with the Dakota Scholars program this summer, noted that the pair also works together on throwing drills during the summer.
"We have great chemistry," added Marso, one of the most talented quarterbacks in South Dakota. "We are committed to doing what is necessary to succeed. Obviously it is or goal to win a state title and also go for another ESD crown," said Mars, who credits assistant coach Bill Freaking with his development as a quarterback.
For Marso and VandeBerg, who like Gerry is a heavily-coveted DI recruit, hard work and dedication are the keys to success.
"I love football because it is the ultimate team sport," said VandeBerg, who is considering Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa State to play football. "We are focused on accomplishing a goal and finding a way to the Dome. We don't want to look back at the end and feel like you haven't laid it all on the line."

Gene Expression in Prokaryotes. (AKA, the lac and trp operons)
So we all know a little bit about how genes are expressed in animal cells, but what about bacteria? Despite the fact that they are unicellular organisms, they still need to control which proteins are produced, and when they are produced. Like how we discussed earlier that it would be useless if your toes starting producing pepsinogen, bacteria need to conserve energy and it would be of no use to them whatsoever to start producing enzymes to digest lactose, when there is no lactose to digest, or there's plenty of glucose to go round everyone!
The first example of gene expression in bacteria we'll look a is the lac operon. Now just to start us off you should know that bacteria will only begin using lactose as an energy source when there is no glucose present (kind of like how we as humans, don't start using fat as an energy source unless there are no carbohydrates to use), and so the enzymes which digest lactose only need to be produced in certain environmental conditions, so why bother wasting energy producing proteins which aren't needed!
There are three gene sequences which code for the enzymes which digest lactose (β-galactosidase, β-galactoside permease and thiogalactoside transacetylase, but lets not get to caught up with that, it's not too important to know the names right now) and they are located next to each other, and are referred to as lacZ, lacY, and lacA. When these genes are transcribed by mRNA, a single mRNA strand is produced, and this strand is referred to as polycistronic, as it codes for more than one protein. When lactose is not present, the lac repressor protein binds to the operator region (the start point for mRNA transcription) and this prevents RNA polymerase from binding to the DNA, and so prevents the genes being transcribed, and therefore the proteins being produced. However when lactose is present, lactose binds to the repressor protein, changing it's conformation in such a way the does not allow it to bind to the operator region, and so the genes are transcribed and the proteins are produced!
Source: http://santasusana.org/pakelly/AP%20Bio/viruses_as_pathogens_in_bacteria.htm
The lac operon is said to be an inducible operon, as gene transcription is induced by the presence of lactose.
The trp operon works in a very similar way, except it is referred to as a repressible operon, because gene expression is repressed by the presence of high levels of the amino acid tryptophan. It works under the same principles as negative feedback in eukaryotes. "What, there's loads of that stuff been produced!? Better stop for a bit until we get rid of some of it!".
When low levels of tryptophan are present, the conformation of the repressor protein does not allow it to bind to the operator region, therefore the genes which code for tryptophan are transcribed as RNA polymerase can bind to the DNA. When high levels of tryptophan are present, the organism not longer needs to produce it, and two molecules of tryptophan bind to the repressor protein, and change it's conformation in such a way which means that it can now bind to the DNA and prevent transcription.
Smart little things bacteria, eh?

SanDisk gains from boom in SSD storage
The maker of USB drives and flash memory cards will derive more of its value from them in the future.
According to a report from the research firm IDC, solid-state-storage industry revenue reached $5 billion in 2011, a 105% increase from the $2.4 billion in 2010, and it's expected to expand further in 2012 and beyond. The report estimates worldwide SSD shipments will increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 51.5% from 2010 to 2015. SanDisk competes primarily with Samsung and Toshiba in the SSD market.
While SanDisk derives most of its revenue from the sale of flash memory cards and USB drives, SSDs are fast becoming a major product segment. We estimate that SanDisk will derive more of its value from SSDs in the future.
Below we take a look at the major factors driving growth in SSDs:
In 2011, SSD market revenue more than doubled, driven by increasing use of flash in enterprise solutions, explosive growth of mobile client devices, and lower SSD pricing. These factors, in addition to a shortfall in HDD supply resulting from flooding in Thailand in late 2011, are expected to drive SSD shipments and revenues up in 2012.
Pricing has been a key metric as far as adoption of SSDs is concerned, in both client and enterprise markets. Because HDDs are much cheaper than SSDs, they are the preferred choice for storage as long as performance (both speed and size) is not an issue. However, with IDC expecting client SSD prices to fall below $1 per gigabyte in the second half of 2012, SSD adoption in the PC market could get a boost.
Also, the flooding in Thailand has disrupted the PC supply chain and the HDD industry's ability to supply the market. OEMs are taking a hit from HDD shortages and higher HDD prices, and they are expected to turn to SSD vendors to fill supply gaps.
The PC market is witnessing massive changes from growth in media tablets and ultrabooks (thin and fast notebooks typically equipped with SSD storage) to the increased use of caching solutions, such as dual drives (systems containing both an SSD and an HDD). With a slurry of PC manufacturers launching ultrabooks in 2012, this could be a big year for SSDs -- as well as SanDisk.
In the age of cloud, enterprises are finding HDD incapable of keeping up with the high computing speeds required by their complex applications. This is driving the adoption of solid state storage as a complementary solution to HDD storage for enterprise applications.
While most of the data archiving will still be done using HDDs for the foreseeable future because of the low price, the more frequently used data (or cache) will shift to SSDs.
We have a $50.60 Trefis price estimate for SanDisk and will soon release our new model for SanDisk with a separate breakout for SSDs.

Still Surprised by Easter
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
Are We Genetically Predisposed to Believe in God?
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
Stochastic Grace
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
Does Resurrection Contradict Science?
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
Searching for Motivated Belief: Understanding John Polkinghorne, Part 2
To understand more clearly where Polkinghorne lies on the larger landscape of science and religion, let's consider his approach to the Resurrection. Many contemporary thinkers, including some theologians and clergy, believe that "science" has somehow made it impossible to believe in the Resurrection, the deity of Jesus, and even belief in the transcendent God of the Bible.
Evolution, the Enlightenment, and Worldviews
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Series: Science and the Bible (22 entries)
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
Made in the Image of God: Human Values and Genomics
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Does Evolution Compromise Human Morality?
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Creator of the Stars at Night
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
Why Strict Atheism Is Unscientific
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
Series: Surprised by Jack: C.S. Lewis on Mere Christianity, the Bible, and Evolutionary Science (4 entries)
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution (5 entries)
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
Can Science Ever Know Enough?
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
Series: Decoding ENCODE (8 entries)
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Did David Hume "Banish" Miracles?
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
Series: Divine Action in the World (5 entries)
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
