However, students who study all three disciplines can end up with a fragmented understanding of energy. This dissertation sits at the intersection of two active areas of current research: the teaching and learning of energy, and interdisciplinary science education (particularly the intersection of physics and biology). The context for this research is an introductory physics course for undergraduate life sciences majors that is reformed to build stronger interdisciplinary connections between physics, biology, and chemistry. An approach to energy that incorporates chemical bonds and chemical reactions is better equipped to meet the needs of life sciences students than a traditional introductory physics approach that focuses primarily on mechanical energy, and so we present a curricular thread for chemical energy in the physics course. Our first set of case studies examines student reasoning about ATP hydrolysis, a biochemically significant reaction that powers various processes in the cell. We observe students expressing both that an energy input is required to break a chemical bond (which they associate with physics) and that energy is released when the phosphate bond is broken in ATP (which they associate with biology). We use these case studies to articulate a model of interdisciplinary reconciliation: building coherent connections between concepts from different disciplines while understanding each concept in its own disciplinary context and justifying the modeling choices in deciding when to use each disciplinary model. Our second study looks at ontological metaphors for energy: metaphors about what kind of thing energy is. Two ontological metaphors for energy that have previously been documented include energy as a substance and energy as a location. We argue for the use of negative energy in modeling chemical energy in an interdisciplinary context, and for the use of a blended substance/location ontology in reasoning about negative energy. Our data show students and experts using the blended ontology productively when the two ontologies are combined in a coherent structure, as well as students getting confused when the ontologies are not coherently combined. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Phase Transitions in Complex Network Dynamics http://hdl.handle.net/1903/15248 Title: Phase Transitions in Complex Network Dynamics Authors: Squires, Shane Anthony Abstract: Two phase transitions in complex networks are analyzed. The first of these is a percolation transition, in which the network develops a macroscopic connected component as edges are added to it. Recent work has shown that if edges are added "competitively" to an undirected network, the onset of percolation is abrupt or "explosive." A new variant of explosive percolation is introduced here for directed networks, whose critical behavior is explored using numerical simulations and finite-size scaling theory. This process is also characterized by a very rapid percolation transition, but it is not as sudden as in undirected networks. The second phase transition considered here is the emergence of instability in Boolean networks, a class of dynamical systems that are widely used to model gene regulation. The dynamics, which are determined by the network topology and a set of update rules, may be either stable or unstable, meaning that small perturbations to the state of the network either die out or grow to become macroscopic. Here, this transition is analytically mapped onto a well-studied percolation problem, which can be used to predict the average steady-state distance between perturbed and unperturbed trajectories. This map applies to specific Boolean networks with few restrictions on network topology, but can only be applied to two commonly used types of update rules. Finally, a method is introduced for predicting the stability of Boolean networks with a much broader range of update rules. The network is assumed to have a given complex topology, subject only to a locally tree-like condition, and the update rules may be correlated with topological features of the network. While past work has addressed the separate effects of topology and update rules on stability, the present results are the first widely applicable approach to studying how these effects interact. Numerical simulations agree with the theory and show that such correlations between topology and update rules can have profound effects on the qualitative behavior of these systems. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z A Search for the Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay of Xenon-136 with Improved Sensitivity from Denoising http://hdl.handle.net/1903/15242 Title: A Search for the Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay of Xenon-136 with Improved Sensitivity from Denoising Authors: Davis, Clayton G. Abstract: The EXO-200 detector is designed to search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of <super>136</super>Xe. ββ0ν decay, if it occurs in nature, would demonstrate the fundamental nature of neutrino mass; set the mass scale of the neutrino sector; and demonstrate lepton number non-conservation. Since the ββ0ν decay produces a monoenergetic peak, the energy resolution of the detector is of fundamental importance for the sensitivity of the experiment. The present work describes a new analysis technique which improves the energy resolution of EXO-200 through a combination of waveform denoising and weighting of waveform components based on their expected signal-to-noise ratio. With this method, the energy resolution of the detector is improved by 21% and the expected background in the 2σ region of interest is reduced by 32%. Applying this technique to 99.8 kg*years of exposure collected by EXO-200 between October 5, 2011 and September 1, 2013, we find no statistically significant evidence for the presence of ββ0ν in the data. We set a half-life limit T1/2 > 1.1 × 10<super>25</super> years at 90% confidence. We also describe further improvements which could impact the energy resolution of EXO-200, and consider implications for the planned nEXO experiment. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Development of Single-Molecule Force and Torque Measurement with Application to Nucleosome Disruption http://hdl.handle.net/1903/15219 Title: Development of Single-Molecule Force and Torque Measurement with Application to Nucleosome Disruption Authors: Chang, Jen-Chien Abstract: Single-molecule force spectroscopy is a powerful method in biophysical research. The ability of detecting and manipulating single molecule finds applications in studies from DNA to cell, leads to various mechanism-based results. Among many tools in this field, optical traps is suitable for studies involving nucleic acids and its interaction with protein due to the high temporal and spatial resolution. While most experiments characterize force and displacement, the quest for manipulating and detecting torque and angular motion is increasing due to their significant role in many biological processes. This thesis mainly devotes to the development and application of an optical torque wrench which is capable of simultaneously controlling and measuring force, displacement, torque, and angular displacement of a single bio-molecule. First, angular manipulation of oblate polystyrene particles is demonstrated. Moreover, a new method for fabricating birefringent nanocylinders via nanosphere lithography is presented. Both particles are shown to provide stable angular trapping in a home-built optical torque wrench. We then apply them in measuring a single DNA molecule under force and torque. Mechanical stability of nucleosome under tension and torsion is also studied, followed by a theoretical model to elucidate the importance of torsion in such experiments. Finally, the effect of experimental parameters in a surface-based optical traps on measured kinetics of bio-molecule is detailed. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z

Ship with Revelling Sailors, Lansquenets and a Sutleress
ca. 1532/33
Pen and black ink, coloured in grey, blue, pink and red
Inv. No. 678
40.4 × 50.9 cm
This large drawing by Hans Holbein the Younger of a three-masted ship gliding through the waves with billowing sails is one of his more unusual ones. Of Holbein's works in this medium, we are far more familiar with the elegant portrait studies in different-coloured chalks which he executed as preparatory drawings for his famous portrait paintings, particularly those of members of the English court. This ship seems likewise to have been a study made in preparation for a painting; at any rate, it was not treated with great care in the further course of the work. It was crudely trimmed on the left and right sides, torn, and folded in several places. Very soon after it had played its part in the painting's production process, however, some effort was made to preserve it. It was mounted on a backing sheet, and some of the details that had been lost were carefully restored.
Holbein's ship is populated by a crowd of lansquenets and sailors indulging in riotous excess. Tankards of wine are being raised and emptied on all sides, one of the drinkers is already vomiting, another has a bare-breasted sutleress in his arms. There is no sign of a captain or helmsman. This is a ship depiction in the tradition of the »Ship of Fools« – the title of an extraordinarily successful book appearing towards the end of the fifteenth century and pillorying the manifold follies of men and women. It employed the symbol of a ship crammed with fools (German: Narren) on their way to »Narragonia«. Elsewhere, ships of this kind carry their happy-go-lucky passengers to the Land of Cocaigne. This drawing by Holbein – with its firm outlines rendered in ink and the effective modelling achieved by brush washes in various colours – no doubt alludes to the same symbolism representing life gone morally astray.
In connection with the celebrations following Henry VIII's marriage to Anne Boleyn in 1533, Holbein executed some mural paintings (no longer extant) on the themes of wealth and poverty for the London guildhall of merchants of the Hanseatic League. It is very possible that this ship depiction was linked to that commission, and it may even have had a companion piece showing a ship being run in an orderly and honourable fashion.

Timothy McDaniel won $500 per week for 25 years on a $1 California Lucky for Life Scratchers ticket. That comes out to $650,000 at the end though he chose the cash option and took a lump sum of $375,000 before taxes.The win was bittersweet though. The day before McDaniel won, his wife passed away of a heart attack. "I think she just kind of sent me this money so I could continue taking care of the (grand) kids," McDaniel told the California Lottery.McDaniel went on to say, "Everything happens for a reason and this is the break I needed. I'm going to keep on working and living my life the same I always have. The only difference is I have a big family and now if anybody needs anything, I can help them out."

Of the 19 tornadoes that hit North Texas, an EF-4 struck Granbury hard. Six people died and several homes were destroyed.
"I've lived here all my life and this is the worst thing I've ever seen," said auction organizer Lonnie Johnson.
FEMA won't help the people of Granbury, so the town is taking matters into their own hands.
An auction held Friday raised money for the Rancho Brazos neighborhood where most people lost everything.
"It's one of the big battle cries through this benefit is, don't forget that there's still a need and we're going to have to keep those folks in mind for several months ahead," said auction organizer Aaron Parker.
Dale Moore came to the auction because he's spent time with people who've been hit the hardest.
"Just everything is gone. Foundations with no house. A landing for a mobile home and there's no home there. Yea it was sad. Those people are going to be fighting an uphill battle for quite a while," said Moore.
Donations of clothing have been overwhelming. However, Granbury won't forget the tornado and what it did to people's lives.
"We still have to remember that there's folks out there that it's going to take months for them to get back to normal," said Parker.

Where do you start with the life and legacy of Rod Grams?
Is it on that day, 20 years ago, when the new congressman from Minnesota was learning the ways of Washington? Or two years later, when he became a freshman U.S. senator? Perhaps you lead with the anchorman, here at Channel 9, with the baritone voice and staccato delivery.
No. It's better to begin near the end, with the man who privately battled colon and liver cancer for two years, deciding to end chemotherapy and spend his finals days in at home in hospice.
"The decision became evident, as far as my faith and where I'm going from here," Grams said by phone in September. "I always feel my last breath here will be my first breath in heaven, so I'm very comfortable with that."
Heather Harden sat next to Grams for most of his decade-long run on Channel 9.
"He set the bar high," Harden said. "He had a quiet strength about him."
Grams didn't just read the news – he seemed to breathe it. His words were precise, his preparation was impeccable, and he kept his politics to himself.
"None of us knew his politics when we worked with him," Harden said. "That's how private he was."
Longtime family friend Kent Kaiser said Grams' upbringing is a sort of rags-to-riches story, set on the Minnesota prairie. He grew up on a family homestead in Crown, Minn., near St. Francis. After television, he started a small construction firm. As the story goes, he became disillusioned by all the taxes.
"One day he just called up the Republican Party and said, 'What can I do'," Kaiser said.
Grams was always a conservative with a capital C. He served in the Senate with Paul Wellstone – a polar opposite politically – yet he considered him a respected colleague.
"He was a calming influence in politics," Kaiser said. "He got along with everybody, all across the political spectrum, and you don't see that much today."
He served only one term in the Senate, defeated by now-Gov. Mark Dayton, but Grams stuck around, giving advice behind the scenes and mentoring other Republicans.
Grams attempted a couple of political comebacks -- running for Congress again and considering a run for governor -- but the game had changed. People played for keeps, and that wasn't Grams.
In the last few years, he had been running three small radio stations in Little Falls, Minn. Like many an old newsman, he loved the intimacy of radio.
In his final days, his beloved wife Christine never left his side.
Rod Grams always seemed right there with us, whether we were viewers or voters. In so many ways, he was so Minnesotan – so much like one of us.

Huntsville is a small city located in the valley of northern Alabama, and those with a penchant for space travel will be well-fit to seek Huntsville apartments for rent. The city has a very strong aeronautical sector and boasts a high-tech community with 19th century roots and a 21st century heart. With a population of about 180,000, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, Huntsville apartments able to provide a family-focused atmosphere and great opportunities without the hustle and bustle of America's larger cities.
Searching for Huntsville apartments for rent can connect you with the city's storied history, which dates back to 1805. Named after Revolutionary War hero John Hunt, Huntsville grew quickly and became Alabama's first state capital in 1819. During the late 1950s, when the U.S. Army created NASA, Huntsville became known as "The Rocket City," and to this day still attracts a large number of astronauts and scientists. If you want to get involved in the local culture, check out the U.S. Space and Rocket Center and Sci-Quest for a fun, memorable experience.
However, although the space culture is extremely prevalent here, it's not the only thing going on. Huntsville is a vibrant city filled with culture, art, sports and games, eclectic shops and fine dining. Top attractions here include Big Spring Park, Bridge Street Town Centre, the Huntsville Ballet Company, Huntsville Symphony Orchestra and the Huntsville Botanical Garden.
As the city has a low cost of living index of 84.4, which is well below the national average, Huntsville apartments for rent are very popular with people who want to soak up the southern sun without breaking the bank. The low cost of rent of apartments in Huntsville, combined with easy access to schools, groceries, food and drink, entertainment and public transit, led AreaVibes to award the city an "Extremely Livable" livability score of 79. In Huntsville, you can expect to pay $3.60 for a gallon of gasoline, which makes it very easy to get around. Other average prices include $2.48 for a gallon of milk, $1.34 for a loaf of bread and $1.44 for a dozen eggs. With the picturesque backdrop behind you, Huntsville can easily feel like home.
Huntsville has a strong association with the space research industry, so it goes without saying that technological manufacturing and space engineering are the most influential job sectors here. According to the Huntsville Chamber of Commerce, the largest employers here include the U.S. Army's Redstone Arsenal and NASA Marshall Space Flight Center. For those seeking other opportunities, Huntsville is also home to Toyota, Lockheed Martin and Boeing manufacturing bases.
Accordingly, for students interested in these fields, there are several institutes of technology located right in Huntsville. The University of Alabama, Huntsville, the largest of the bunch, has collaborative efforts with NASA to help produce advanced engineering and technological commercialization programs. JF Drake State Technical College, Alabama A&M University, Huntsville-Virginia College and a branch of the Florida Institute of Technology, are also located in town. These institutions make Huntsville apartments ideal for students.

Berkshire Hathaway Likes DirecTV, But Should You?
Rupert is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Like all investors, I pay attention to what Berkshire Hathaway and Warren Buffett are doing, not least because they have the ability to move the markets, which can be handy in formulating an investment strategy. However, recently I was surprised by his increased position in DirecTV (NASDAQ: DTV)
DirecTV could be a good investment, income and cash flows are growing while the company continues to increase investor returns. However, there is one thing that worries me and that is company debt.
DirecTV's debt is growing rapidly, both on a numeric and gearing basis. (I should point out that DirecTV is forecast to start reducing its net debt position over the next few years. Although, I would be wary of this forecast as it is only a forecast and as of yet, the company has not shown any signs of reducing its debt. Indeed, as DirecTV has been rapidly increasing its debt, I would be inclined to believe that the company is more likely to increase its debt rather than reduce it in the future.)
DirecTV's Debt
Net debt at DirecTV is rising rapidly, it is up roughly 700% since 2007 (left axis). The right axis is a gearing level of net debt to EBIT as a comparison.
Debt has been rising much faster than earnings, which has produced a worrying looking debt profile. Financing costs (blue) have roughly tripled since 2007 but low interest rates mean that the company is still paying a relatively low amount to finance its debt.
Why is debt rising?
So, why is debt rising at DirecTV, when the company has been generating very healthy cash flows over the past five years; free cash flow has been coming in at about $2 billion a year since 2009.
It appears that all of DirecTV's free cash is being spent by the company on financing activities.
A more detailed look at the company's financing cash flow reveals the flowing:
DirecTV is spending 200% of its free cash flow on stock buybacks. In fact, as the company is spending twice as much as it is earning on buying back stock, DirectTV is having to issue debt to pay the balance.
In particular, DirecTV spent $5.5 billion on buying back stock in 2011, which was about double the cash the company had available. So, as shown above, DirecTV issued $2.7 billion in debt to finance the part of the buyback it could not afford. This has been occurring since 2009 - DirecTV was buying back stock before 2009 but it was not borrowing as much to finance the buyback.
Personally, I believe that borrowing money to buy back stock does not make much sense. Especially, when the company has negative shareholder equity (total company liabilities are larger than total company assets) and the share price is reaching an all time high.
DirecTV's share price is reach record highs and the company keeps borrowing money to buy back stock.
So what do DirecTV's finances look like when compared to its competitors in the sector? Is DirecTV the only company that has this large amount of borrowing or it is universal across the sector?
Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA)
Comcast is larger than DirecTV and its biggest competitor. Comcast has a much better balance sheet and cash flow than DirecTV. Starting with debt, Comcast has seen both increases and decreases in its net debt position, recently however, the company has been reducing its net debt to EBIT level as profits rise while net debt falls.
Comcast's EBIT has almost doubled since 2008; net debt in relation has remained relatively stable. Net debt to EBIT has fallen from 4.6 times to 2.3 last year.
In addition, Comcast's cash flow is stronger than DirecTV's. While Comcast's net operating cash flow is almost triple that of DirecTV, the company is not spending all of its free cash on share buybacks. Comcast's net financing cash flow for 2012 was -$4,040 million, of which $2,800 million was share buybacks and $1,600 million was dividends. Comcast also re-organized a portion of its debt to take advantage of lower interest rates.
Not only does Comcast has a much better debt profile than DirecTV but the company is also utilising its cash and cash flow in a more effective way, which is producing better shareholder returns.
Viacom (NASDAQ: VIAB)
Viacom's balance sheet is once again, in a much better position than DirecTV. Viacom's net debt position has not fallen or risen over the past five years. In addition, over this period the companies EBIT has grown, which has resulted in a falling EBIT value - in fact it is the smallest ratio in the group.
Looking at Viacom's cash flow, the company is following the same path as Comcast. Viacom has a strong free cash flow and the company is utilizing this to buy back stock, issue dividends and buy back debt. These activities are well managed and the company is only spending what it earns, which gives the company a relatively balanced cash inflow/outflow ratio.
Comcast and Viacom look to be better at cash management and debt reduction, what about growth and return on equity?
Growth and ROE
I believe ROE is one of the best ways to measure a company's returns for shareholders. DirecTV has achieved the best ROE over the last five years, although I would be skeptical of this figure as DTV's shareholder equity has actually been negative since 2010- as I have mentioned above.
DirecTV has achieved the best EPS growth due to its large stock buybacks. Comcast and Viacom have both achieved a larger sales growth than DirecTV. Furthermore, both Comcast and Viacom have achieved much better profit margins, with Viacom's profit margin being almost twice that of DirecTV's.
So overall, DirecTV is borrowing lots of money to buy back stock, while its share price is reaching five year highs and shareholder equity is negative. Not only is this wasting hard earned shareholder cash but the company is significant increasing its debt to EBIT ratio, which could put huge pressure on the company's cash flow in future years if sales start to stagnate or interest rates rise.
On the other hand, both Comcast and Viacom are utilizing their shareholders cash in more constructive ways, returning cash to shareholders through both dividends and buybacks, without borrowing huge amounts of cash.
All in all, DirecTV may be one of Berkshire's favorites but it is not mine.

Boston Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas made another political statement on his Facebook page on Thursday, supporting American sandwich chain Chick-fil-A.
The chain's owner Dan Cathy, has drawn plenty of backlash for funding organizations fighting same-sex marriage and was recently quoted saying he supported, "the biblical definition of the family unit."
"I stand with Chick-fil-A," wrote Thomas on his Facebook account.
"Chick-fil-A is privately owned by the Cathy family. The company president, Dan Cathy, drew the wrath of gay rights advocates and supporters when he made recent statements that some have alleged are anti-gay. Cathy told Baptist Press that the company was unapologetically in favor of traditional marriage. 'Guilty as charged,' he said. 'We are very much supportive of the family - the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that.' In a separate interview on the Ken Coleman Show - Cathy suggested that the nation could face God's wrath over the redefinition of marriage. I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, 'We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,' Cathy said. 'I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we would have the audacity to try to redefine what marriage is all about.'"
It's not the first time that Thomas has gone under the spotlight for making political statements. He was at the centre of controversy this past winter when he opted not to appear at the Bruins' White House visit hosted by U.S. president Barack Obama.
Thomas later explained his actions on his Facebook page and cancelled any media scrums if a question was asked regarding the incident.
Thomas, who already announced that he's taking a year off from playing hockey, has one year left on his current contract with the Bruins, which carries a $5 million cap hit for the 2012-13 season.
The 38-year-old went 35-19-1 with a 2.36 goals-against average and a .920 save percentage this past season. In the playoffs, he had a 2.14 GAA and a .923 save percentage. Boston lost in seven games to Washington in the first round.
Thomas won the 2009 and 2011 Vezina Trophy, and has a 196-121-45 record and 2.48 GAA in 378 career games with the Bruins. In 50 postseason games, he holds a 29-21 mark with a 2.07 GAA. He also won the 2011 Conn Smythe Trophy after leading Boston to its first Stanley Cup title since 1972.
Thomas's statement comes just months after teammate Zdeno Chara recorded a PSA for the You Can Play project and after Shawn Thornton said he would support a gay teammate.
"He isn't playing next year, which means he's not my teammate," a Bruins player who wished to be anonymous told WEEI.com. "Which means I don't have to react to his Facebook posts."

text: Medicine Hat, Alberta - The Tri-City Americans (8-8-0-2 18 pts.) took a 2-0 lead mid-way through the second period, but the Medicine Hat Tigers (11-3-2-0 24 pts.) came back, defeating the Americans 3-2 in a shootout Friday night at the Medicine Hat Arena.The loss snapped the Americans three-game winning streak and dropped the team's road record to 2-5-0-2. The Americans controlled the play early in the game, spending the first half of the period almost exclusively in Medicine Hat's defensive zone. That early momentum continued until Marcus Messier took a hooking penalty at the 9:28 mark. On the Tiger's power play, it was the Americans who had the best scoring opportunity, when Phil Tot stole the puck at the blue line and skated in on the breakaway, but his wrist shot was turned as by Marek Langhamer.After holding Medicine Hat to just one shot on the man advantage, it was the Americans who went on the power play. Tri-City spent a majority of the final eight minutes a man up, but the scored remained 0-0. As the period was winding down, the Tigers took a shot on Eric Comrie and had appeared to score on the rebound. But after video review it was determined the puck crossed the line after time had expired to keep the score locked at zero.In his first game of the 2013-14 season, Parker Bowles broke the scoreless tie in the second period, picking up the loose puck just outside of the offensive zone blue line. The 18 year-old made no mistake snapping the puck past Langhamer's blocker, giving the Americans a 1-0 lead. Just a minute and 29 seconds later, Beau McCue's centering pass found the net after deflecting off a Medicine Hat skate, giving Tri-City a 2-0 lead.With just under four minutes remaining in the second period, Medicine Hat capitalized on Wil Tomchuk's interference penalty, cutting the Americans lead in half. Steven Owre snapped a wrist shot from the half boards, beating Comrie short side.A minute and 14 seconds into the third period, McCue's hooking penalty gave the Tigers an early power play as well as early momentum in the final frame. While Medicine Hat failed to score on the man advantage they never relinquished the momentum for the rest of the period.The Tigers tied the game at the 14:18 mark, after an extended shift in the Americans zone. Comrie made several saves, but Logan McVeigh knocked the puck into the net before the Tri-City netminder could freeze it, tying the game at two.After a back and forth overtime period, the game headed into a shootout. The Tigers Curtis Valk gave Medicine Hat the upper hand right off the bat, scoring on Comrie with the first shot. Following Langhamer saves on Astles and Bowles, Tommy Vannelli won the shootout for the Tigers with a wrist shot just under the cross bar.Both goaltenders turned in solid performances, with Comrie and Langhamer allowing two goals apiece in 65 minutes of play, making 30 and 32 saves respectably. Comrie dropped his goals against to 2.57 with his performance on Friday night, currently ranking fifth in the WHL.The Americans' Eastern Conference road swing continues tomorrow night, when the team travels to Lethbridge, Alberta to take on the Lethbridge Hurricanes (2-11-1-2 7 pts.) at 6 p.m. PDT. Tri-City's busy weekend concludes on Sunday when the team takes on the Kootenay Ice (8-6-2-0 18 pts.) in Cranbrook, British Columbia. Fans can catch all the action live, via WHL Live, at the Americans' official home away from home, Kimo's in Richland.

Before this past Friday, ESPN analyst Ray Bentley thought he knew what to expect from the upcoming BYU-Utah game. And then the Utes went to Utah State and lost not only the game but their starting quarterback, Jordan Wynn.
"That kind of put the damper on things a little bit," he said.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Bentley can't make any predictions about the outcome of the Utes-Cougars matchup — he will be in the broadcast booth at Rice-Eccles Stadium beside play-by-play man Mark Neely — but he's not entirely sure that what happened in Logan will make a great deal of difference on Saturday (8 p.m. MDT, ESPN2).
"I do think we're going to see a pretty spirited effort," he said. "You can file that under 'understatements.'
"I think the prevailing opinion is that BYU should have no problem with this thing. But they're going into somebody's backyard, and that somebody doesn't care for them. That's your X factor. That's why I couldn't even begin to tell you what this game will look like."
Bentley is convinced the rivalry itself makes this a different game. That the old cliché about tossing the records out has some validity when it comes to Cougars vs. Utes.
And this isn't someone who has any ties to Utah, other than the occasional trip here to work a college or AFL game. Bentley is a Michigan native who played college football at Central Michigan; played in the USFL in Michigan; and played in the NFL with Buffalo and Cincinnati.
And yet he's well acquainted with the BYU-Utah rivalry.
"I've always heard and known about the Holy War," he said. "It's one of the great rivalries in college football. And that's becoming a rare commodity in this day and age."
And one that resonates with the national college football audience.
"I think on some level, it does," Bentley said. "We continue to see the deterioration of some of the traditions that make college football so special. And rivalries, to me, are exciting. They're always red-letter games."
Those are thoughts echoed by other national sportscasters since the news broke that the BYU-Utah rivalry will be interrupted in 2014-15, and perhaps again after 2016.
"That's anything but a good thing." said CBS Sports' Verne Lundquist.
"Taking two years off with your biggest rival is a huge turnoff," said ESPN's Joe Tessitore.
"That's wrong. That's a bad thing," said CBS Sports Network's Jim Rome.
"I think it's bad for college football," said ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit.
These are not provincial views from people with a rooting interest of some kind. These are all sportscasters on the outside of the rivalry looking in.
And Bentley doesn't see Utah-Colorado replacing Utah-BYU anytime soon.
"I know you can always start new [rivalries], but that's hard to do," he said. "You can't just make people care about something. They either do or they don't."
But Bentley also doesn't think any of this will have much effect on Saturday's game.
"I don't think that's going to matter much for the players," Bentley said. "Once it kicks off, nobody will be thinking about that. There will be blood in the water then."

GOLDEN High Solid Gel, Matte, Pint
High Solid Gels are thicker consistency than GOLDEN Heavy Body Acrylic colors, while being similar to Extra-Heavy Gels. Offers lower shrinkage and dries to touch quicker than most Gels. Good for holding peaks. Blends with colors to make them feel more oil-like and increases retention of brushstrokes.
GOLDEN Gel Mediums offer artists many ways to build texture. They range in consistency from pourable to moldable with varying degrees of sheen and transparency. They can be used to create glazes, extend paints and change finishes. Some gels incorporate pumice, glass or acrylic granules that impart unique reflective, rough or absorbent surface qualities.
Gels can be thought of as colorless paint, as they are composed of 100% acrylic polymers similar to acrylic paint. They can also act as adhesives in collage and mixed media that dry to form continuous films with excellent flexibility with chemical, water and UV resistance.
Gels come in different surfaces: gloss, semi-gloss and matte.
Gloss Gels dry to a clear, almost glass-like luminosity. They have no matting agents added, and do not change the quality or color of paint to which they are added.
The Semi-Gloss & Matte Gels have matting agents added, reducing luminosity. The matte version of Gels does not have the luminosity of the gloss or semi-gloss gels. Matte Gels are stiffer and appear a bit "cloudy" or satin-like because of the addition of matting agents. Matte Gels will affect the color of the paint.
Other Gels like Fine Pumice Gel have solids in them and dry to an opaque finish, not the clear, glass-like luminosity of Regular Gel (Gloss).

During the MVP Summit, and through various articles and blog posts, Microsoft has been trying to get community feedback on the proposed feature of integrating XML as a first-class concept into a core language (such as VB.NET). It seems so natural, right? After all, they are not the first ones to propose such a thing.
You're dealing with lots XML in your application, what else could you ask than to be able to do something like the following?:
Dim CountriesWithCapital As XElement = _ <%= Select <%= City.Name %> <%= City.Longitude %> <%= City.Latitude %> _ From Country In Countries, City In Capitals _ Where Country.Name = City.Country %>
I see at least a couple drawbacks with this approach:
- VS already has a full-featured, very responsive and cool XML editor that includes intellisense powered by schemas, allows XSLT transformation debugging, etc. We would need to have at least an equally capable inline XML editor in place in order to be really productive
- Now the "template" for the "rendered" XML is compiled into the application. If I need to change anything about that XML layout, I'll need to recompile the application.
Of course, this does not mean that we should stick to using XmlWriter and XmlDocument to create XML. That's just insane and much harder to maintain. But there is another alternative, which I think is better.
Text templating is an old technique. The reason why the syntax above looks so familiar is that it's mostly classic ASP, and people have been using a similar technique for generating not only XML or HTML, but all kinds of text assets (such as SQL statements). But so far, no general purpose text template rendering engine has been ever been available from Microsoft. Until now.
The DSL tools and GAT come with such an engine code-named T4 (Text Templates Transformation Toolkit, kind of a successor of a previous version code-named T3 which I developed quite some time ago for patterns & practices and bundled in previous versions of GAT). This engine allows you to author very similar XML building code but in a standalone file, that you can later "render" with a given context:
<#@ Template Language="C#" #><#@ Property Processor="PropertyProcessor" Name="Customer" #> <# foreach (Order order in this.Customer.Orders) { #> <#= order.Id #> ... etc ... <# } #>
You can of course choose the language you will use for the template so-called control code, and have properties automatically created by specifying that Property template directive. If you had chosen VB as the language, and were using VB9 runtime/compiler, I suppose nothing would stop you from having almost *exactly* the same code shown at the beginning. Now, forget about T4, as it's a tool part of an SDK, probably not well tested outside of the scope it was designed for (code generation at designtime), etc. Imagine if you had such an engine but as part of the .NET framework itself. Imagine you had deep support for intellisense in VS for the control code snippets. There are several benefits to such an approach:
- One of the main benefits is that now the language used to author the control code is a "plug-in" to the template editor. This ensures that the template editing experience will be consistent independently of which .NET language you decide to code the control code snippets in. The opposite case happens if you embed the template code (XML in XLinq case) into a host language: all host language editors will need to provide this feature, and we have already started seeing that some .NET languages will support such a feature (probably VB9) whereas others will probably not (most likely C#). Even if they all agree to implement the editor and required language features, third-party languages will still be out of the game unless they spend substantial time adding the feature in a way that is consistent with everyone else's. In a T4–like approach, pretty much all you would need is a CodeDomProvider.
- Given 1., the designers of the template editor will need to design it with pluggability in mind. In fact, this editor will easily become the host for all of the other editors in VS, including the XML editor, SQL editor, C#/VB, ASP.NET, etc. Once this is well done for any one of them, integrating the others will be substantially easier than trying to extend each and every language to support "deep integration" with any of those "languages".
- This will also maximize the productivity of developers that are proficient with this template language. Now they will be able to comfortably generate any target source asset using the same tool.
- Mixing the "rendering" code (XML in this case) with the model and controller code makes for poor maintainability. You should think of the XML being generated as a view over a model, resembling very much the MVC pattern. There's a very interesting paper regarding that. It's already a bit frightening to have the full .NET power at hand inside the template control code… but having it fully intermixed with the M-C code will probably lead to spaghetti-like code that we thought we finally got through with ASP.NET. In this regard, I see it as a door for a very likely huge step backwards. (do you really think people will NOT generate HTML or other rendering code with it?)
- As the templates themselves can be made to inherit from a given base template class (via an Inherits="MyNamespace.MyBaseClass" attribute on the template directive), you can maximize reuse of control code and rendering helpers, as well as get intellisense driven by this custom base class too (together with whatever the so-called directive processors provide to the template class).
- If you take this paradigm further enough, you could even end up with an editor that is much like the ASP.NET one, with custom rendering "controls" which can be templatized (just like in ASP.NET), use binding expression, etc..
- Finally, but not less important, is that you can now evolve your "rendered" views without recompiling your entire application. If missed an attribute that is available on the model, but was not needed previously on the rendered/output XML, you can add it simply by changing the template.
I think this is a very interesting area, but I believe Microsoft should strive not to provide another technology that could potentially bring back the nightmares we lived with ASP in the past. If it can be missused, it *will* be missused.
If it were for me, I'd limit the features available on the control code snippets to just control and rendering code: if..else, for/while loops, value retrieval (<#= foo.ToString #>), and that's it. No object creation, no method calls (as they could have side-effects).

There Are Better Options Than This Document Equipment Manufacturer

Xerox ) has become synonymous with the copying industry, so much so that office workers will actually refer to a copier manufactured by another company as "the Xerox." However, with lower corporate spending and lower margins leading to flat revenue, I believe that this particular company is a bit too pricey, even at the single-digit P/E multiples that it trades for.

Wide Moat Stocks- Not As Many As You Think
By Justin Carley - February 6, 2013 | Tickers: DELL, HPQ, YUM |
Dell's (NASDAQ: DELL) $24.4 billion dollar LBO puts the final nail in the coffin on one of the great stock stories of all time. The company would go public in 1988 and could easily be classified as the stock of the decade during the 1990's. During that decade, the stock would appreciate at an annual rate of 97%! However, the next decade would be a completely different more »
Microchip Technology: Challenges for Chip Makers Ahead?
By Matthew Frankel - January 23, 2013 | Tickers: ALTR, INTC, MCHP
Microchip Technologies (NASDAQ: MCHP) is one of the leading manufacturers of specialized computer chips. It has also been one of the best ways to get exposure to the tech sector in a dividend portfolio, having rebounded nicely from its 2009 low of $16.23 to its current price of $33.53 as of this writing. It also pays an extremely nice dividend for a tech company, yielding 4.2% and more »
Will Intel Find Its Cookie Monster?
By Dana Blankenhorn - January 23, 2013 | Tickers: INTC, IBM |
Just as Wall Street has focused over the last decade on Too Big To Fail (TBTF) banks, Silicon Valley has faced its own crisis, what I call the Too Big To Succeed (TBTS) companies.
Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) is a classic example of the phenomenon. The company has become so focused on its "product roadmap," and on the internal signals coming from that roadmap, that it wound up ignoring the changes more »
Lexmark: What's Next for Printers?
By Matthew Frankel - January 22, 2013 | Tickers: CAJ, HPQ, LXK
Lexmark (NYSE: LXK) has been one of the premier manufacturers of laser and inkjet printers since 1997, when it introduced the first sub-$100 color inkjet printer. Since then, however, demand for printers has become an ongoing concern, and it has forced Lexmark and its competitors to rethink their business models. With the company set to report earnings next Tuesday, investors will be looking for concrete plans from the company more »
4 Reasons To Buy Apple Now
By TM Meyer - January 22, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, GOOG, MSFT
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been on quite a journey over the past couple of years. As the chart below shows, the stock had an incredibly 2012 but has slipped since then.
Even though Apple has slipped from its highs of 2012, I still think it is one of the best investment opportunities around. Below are 4 reasons why investors should consider adding Apple to their investment portfolios.

Seagate Earnings: A Classic Case of "Adapt or Die"
By Matthew Frankel - January 21, 2013 | Tickers: MU, SNDK, STX, WDC
Seagate Technology (NASDAQ: STX), one of the world's largest manufacturers of hard disk drives, has made its shareholders very happy over the past few years. In early 2009, as a result of the financial crisis, any company with any perceived weakness was trading at unreal discounts, and Seagate was no exception. Seagate hit a January 2009 low of $2.98, less than the value of just their assets at more »
4 Reasons Dell Will Be Acquired
By Michael Meyer - January 14, 2013 | Tickers: CAJ, DELL, BX
Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) saw a huge move today on speculation that it has had several discussions with firms about a potential buyout. The stock increased by 12.96% and is up an additional 3.5% in after-hours trading. While most are still trying to wrap their heads around the possibility of a Dell takeout, I will list 4 reasons this makes sense for Dell.
Reason #1 - Cheap Valuation

Intel Earnings Preview: Will There Be Growth?
By Matthew Frankel - January 11, 2013 | Tickers: AMD, AAPL, INTC
Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), the world's largest chipmaker, has done very well over the past few years. The stock has rebounded nicely since the 2008-09 lows of around $12, buybacks are nicely reducing the number of outstanding shares, and the company has been constantly increasing its dividend to the bond-like 4.25% it currently yields. With the company set to report earnings next Thursday, investors will be watching for signs more »

How Close Are We to Peak Cloud?
By Dana Blankenhorn - December 18, 2012 | Tickers: AMZN, DELL, F, GOOG, HPQ, IBM, MSFT, ORCL, RAX, RHT, VMW
Let me state at the outset that I'm bullish on "the cloud."
I have been at tech reporter for three decades, and cloud computing is the real deal. With a virtualized operating system running workloads over many distributed machines, you can scale a job to infinity and avoid the cost of high-priced servers. Clouds also give you the chance to finally create value from "big data," all those weblogs more »
Four High Yielding Tech Plays With Growth Opportunities
By Matthew Frankel - December 6, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, INTC, LXK, MCHP, MSFT, STX
When planning a dividend portfolio, investors want safety. The primary concerns are security of the income stream and preservation of capital. However, sometimes investors want both a great yield and significant potential for future growth.
Tech stocks are generally not known for their high yields. Of those who pay dividends, their growth days are widely thought to be behind them. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) is a great example of this. Apple more »

Apple Won't Be On Sale Like This Forever
By Matthew Frankel - November 19, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, GOOG, MSFT
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has taken a beating lately, off 23% from the all-time high it reached only two months ago. Several factors have played a role in the decline, including supply issues with the iPhone 5, the Apple Maps issues, and the market's reaction to the introduction of the iPad Mini. This is a tremendous plunge, especially for a stock that is not used to dropping. To put this more »
Tech Empires Aren't Good For Shareholders
By Yale Bock - September 18, 2012 | Tickers: DELL, EXPE, GOOG, IACI, MSFT, SNE
The corporate titans of today's tech world would be better off in parts rather than as wholes. The job of management is to generate shareholder value, not to build massive integrated empires with cash that yields one and a half or two percent. Rather than acquiring more divisions, these massive companies should spin divisions off into leaner, more agile companies.

Understanding Apple #2: Success = (O +V) * F
By Malcolm Manness - July 22, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, XRX |
Understanding Apple #2: Success = (O +V) * F
Why are Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) products so successful? The answer is simple and complex.
You may love Apple and their products, or hate them to the core, but what cannot be denied is that Apple now has the highest market cap of any company, their products are trend setters, and currently they are trading at rather low multiples, especially regarding forward earnings.

The Week that Was: Intel, Ford, Google and (ugh) Facebook
By Tim Brugger - May 28, 2012 | Tickers: FB, F, GOOG, INTC
Even with the Dow's poor performance on Friday – and the week as a whole - all is not lost. Friday's announcement of consumer confidence numbers should have been enough to leave investors cheering. The highly anticipated Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan index rose to 79.3 – the highest level in over four and half years. That's huge, particularly when you consider consumer confidence is what drives the U more »

Any one of Spanish descent and of keen interest in traditional music will definitely be able to identify some of the tracks in Buika's second album Mi Niña Lola and her third, Niña de Fuego. That is because these albums, along with originals, feature classical Spanish coplas that would seem to have run their course in the industry.
However, these classical coplas are definitely far from being obsolete because of Buika's fresh take on these popular songs. In fact, one of the famous coplas included in her album inspired the title of her second album. When you'd listen to her sing her own version, you would be pleasantly surprised at how revitalized and fresh they sound. Indeed, Buika once again succeeded in celebrating the heritage of the Spanish community where she had grown up in and in reviving the people's interest in the coplas.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) -- A majority of Washington state Senators have signed a letter supporting a measure requiring insurers to cover abortion.
The letter was presented Monday at a packed Senate hearing committee where the bill was debated. Afterward, bill supporters said they expected it would not pass out of the committee.
The measure was passed by the House in February. Gov. Jay Inslee, a bill supporter, has urged the Senate to vote on it.
Those supporting the measure say it would ensure continued abortion coverage once federal health care reforms taking effect next year trigger bureaucratic hurdles for insurers paying for the procedure.
Opponents say that abortion insurance coverage is already widespread and that the bill is unnecessary. They also contend the measure threatens the religious freedoms of those who oppose abortion rights.
