On September 11, 2001, hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and in rural Pennsylvania.
That day irreversibly changed the course of American history, with a rush of patriotism immediately following the attacks, a surge in the War on Terror and other innumerable effects we still feel today. There have been a vast number of materials published about 9/11, and Kanawha County Public Library has an extensive collection. Let this reading map guide you:

What is the origin of the idea that a deity created the world?
Many attribute the creationist concept for the world's origin to the Jewish text scribed by Moses, The Book of Genesis, but what was Moses source for this story? Are there other stories about the beginning of the world that predate the Old Testament account? Please provide references and not just speculation.

Nov 2 2012: Notice that mental hospitals commonly have multiple patients who claim divinity. It seems to be a level of consciousness in the brain. As far as I can tell schizophrenia as well as manic depression have been with us since the dawn of man, some theorists argue that it is a consequence of developing language(especially in schizophrenia).
I think David Hume when he wrote An enquiry Concerning Understanding hinted that we infer a brilliant creator when we look at the universe for the same reason why when we look at a building we infer that this was created by man. I have never seen anyone build a skyscraper yet I infer that this happened due to experience. Our experience of cause and effect invariably leads us to reasoning that a superior intelligence created the universe.

Physicians for Human RightsUsing science and medicine to stop human rights violations
Every year, tens of thousands of men, women, and children endure sexual violence during and after armed conflict. According to international law, using rape as a weapon of war is a war crime. Despite this legal protection, armies in dozens of global conflicts have used rape as a tactic of war with impunity.
Ending impunity must be at the core of any systematic response to the crisis of sexual violence. Permitting perpetrators to escape punishment results in elusive justice and ineffective reparation for survivors.
The crisis of sexual violence is acute in many countries around the world, including those where the International Criminal Court is currently investigating mass atrocities. The Program on Sexual Violence in Conflict Zones at Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) is currently working on improving accountability for such crimes in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Kenya.
Program on Sexual Violence in Conflict Zones
PHR launched the Program on Sexual Violence in Conflict Zones, a multi-year training and advocacy initiative in 2011, with the aim of forging coalitions among regional medical, law enforcement, and legal experts in Central and East Africa. PHR's goal is to dramatically increase local capacity for the collection of court-admissible evidence of sexual violence to support prosecutions for these crimes.
PHR Expertise in Documenting Mass Rape
PPHR has longstanding experience in forensic investigations and advocacy to end rape in armed conflict. For more than 20 years, PHR has conducted pioneering research and advocacy on this issue, including in its landmark studies in Bosnia, Sierra Leone, and Sudan/Chad.
Learn more about stopping the use of rape as a weapon of war.
Join the International Campaign to Stop Rape and Gender Violence in Conflict
PHR, Nobel Peace Laureates, international advocacy organizations, and groups working at the regional and community levels have launched an international campaign to stop rape and gender violence in conflict. Help create a world without war, rape, and gender violence where women and men are equal.
The Role of First Responders in Attaining Justice (September 4, 2014)
In the first half of 2014, nearly 3,000 people have fallen victim to sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), according to the medical group Heal Africa, which treats survivors of sexual violence in the eastern part of the country.
New Evidence Emerges of Mass Rape During Post-election Violence in Kenya (August 29, 2014)
PHR study finds that pattern of sexual assault perpetrated during post-election violence in Kenya is consistent with patterns of mass rape documented in conflict settings elsewhere.
How to seize the huge opportunity created by the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict (June 20, 2014)
"What a fabulous suit. She was perfect, perfect," said a French woman standing behind me on the escalator. We had just emerged from two hours in a giant auditorium on the outskirts of London where we heard politicians, UN officials, and Nobel Peace Laureate Leymah Gbowee speaking at the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict.
Still I Rise (June 13, 2014)
When U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry took the stage to give the keynote speech at the closing plenary of the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict, I expected words that would strike all the correct notes.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) today found Germain Katanga of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) guilty of war crimes, but acquitted him of sexual offences in the first case that specifically involved these charges.
PHR Submits Statement on Syria's Refugee Crisis to Senate Committee (January 7, 2014)
The United States should immediately convene a humanitarian summit with Russia and other nations in order to improve humanitarian aid in Syria; take steps to allow more Syrian refugees to resettle in the United States; and provide funding to address their health and other needs.
PHR Calls for Unfettered Access for Humanitarian Assistance in Syria (November 26, 2013)
PHR is calling on the U.S. government to immediately enter into high-level negotiations with the Russian government to ensure unfettered access in Syria for the International Committee of the Red Cross and other U.N. and humanitarian organizations that urgently need to provide vital services and supplies.

Introduction / History
The 1995 Lao census listed 5,834 ethnic Singmoon people live in two different areas in central Laos. About half live within the Thathom District of the Xaisamboun Special Region, while the remainder inhabit part of the Borikhan District of Borikhamxai Province.
There is some confusion surrounding the population and identity of the Singmoon. Laurent Chazee, in his 1995 book, listed "less than 1,000" Singmoon people in Laos. It is possible the population for the Puoc, who are called Xin Mun or Sing Mun in Vietnam, may have been included in this figure. The Singmoon live a long way from the Puoc in Laos however, and are almost certainly distinct people groups. For now, until further research can be conducted to determine their true population, we have used the 1995 census figure for the Singmoon.
The Xaisamboun Special Region was carved out of Vientiane Province only recently. It is considered the most dangerous place in Laos for foreigners to travel. Rebels living in the mountains have launched armed attacks on buses. In 1994, four UN Drug Control Program workers were murdered by bandits.
If the Singmoon near the Thai border prove to be related to the Puoc on the Vietnam border, their geographic separation today could almost certainly be traced to the slavery trade which operated in Laos until a few decades ago. Families and sometimes whole communities were transplanted from one location to another. In the early 1900's, a missionary commented on the trade of human souls.... "According to the wealth and power of a chau is the number of slaves he owns; this number may vary from a dozen to even a thousand or more. These may be slave-born, or purchased, or war captives.... Many of the peasants become slaves from debt. They borrow money to pay their government taxes, and then almost inevitably fail to meet their debt, and so become the property of the chau. There is no real excuse for this, as taxes are low. Slaves can purchase their freedom, but so little money is in circulation that it is a very difficult thing to do."
Living in a harsh and violent area, the Singmoon remain spiritual captives, with little knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Prayer Points
* Pray brave and faith-filled workers would heed the Master's call to take the Gospel to all peoples.
* Ask God to help researchers discover more information on the Singmoon.
* Pray believers in northern Laos would be called by God to take the Gospel to the unreached Singmoon.

Vail Mountain Cleanup 2014
It's probably happened to all of us at some point: that moment when you watch your ski pole/glove/car keys/ski pass/cell phone/credit card drop headlong into a snow bank as you ride up the chairlift, never to be seen again.

American Council on Exercise4851 Paramount DriveSan Diego, California 92123
Posted: Tuesday, January 21, 2014 in ACE Press Releases
Workout watchdog nonprofit says $720 per school just isn't enough
SAN DIEGO, January 14, 2014 -- This week Congress approved funding of the Carol White Physical Education Plan (PEP), providing $74.5 million in grants directly to local school districts and community-based organizations for quality physical education programs in 2014. The funding aims to enable a more active and healthy lifestyle for American children, but American Council on Exercise (ACE), the nation's leading workout watchdog, says the low-balled amount won't make a dent in the nation's child obesity epidemic.
"Childhood obesity rates have consistently been shown to negatively impact healthcare costs, academic achievement, productivity and self-esteem," says ACE CEO and President Scott Goudeseune. "While this is a great step, it's not enough to fully fund physical education as part of the core curriculum in our nation's schools."
If every school were to receive this grant funding, each would receive an average of just over $700. When incorporating sequestration effects, the amount shrinks even more.
ACE believes that the benefits of physical activity are well documented and support the call for a more significant investment in physical education programs as part of the core curriculum in our nation's schools:
Goudeseune says that ACE calls on parents, educators, communities and government to work together to allocate the resources necessary to provide physical education and activity opportunities for children that meet the National Physical Activity Guidelines before, during and after school.
To learn more about ACE's work fighting the obesity epidemic, visit ACEfitness.org.
About ACE Since 1985, American Council on Exercise (ACE) has evolved from a small nonprofit dedicated to educating people about proper fitness to a 50,000-strong network of certified Personal Trainers, Group Fitness Instructors (GFI), Health Coaches and Advanced Health & Fitness Specialists (AHFS). As the largest NCCA-accredited nonprofit fitness certification organization in the world, ACE provides quality continuing education to professionals and conducts independent science-based research to protect all Americans from unsafe and ineffective products. Our goal is to inspire people to live their most fit lives through free fitness resources including workouts, nutrition information and expert advice.

5 Ways to Use a Spare Chair
Spare chairs can be cheap to come by, and they're helpful when you need extra seating for a dinner party. The only problem is figuring out what to do with them when they're not being put to use...
Here are a few ideas:
• 1 Use an extra chair as a stand-in for a bedside table.
• 2 In an entryway, a spare chair can catch your bag.
• 3 In a guest room, a chair can hold blankets, pillows, or towels.
• 4 Give a potted plant some height, or transform the chair itself into a planter.
• 5 If you're lacking shelf space, stack your extra novels on a side chair.
Other ideas? Let us know in the comments below.

My spare chair has been usurped by the cat - an addition to her many lairs.
I have an antique french chair that I use instead of a bedside table.
I am always looking for places to stash chairs and unique ways to use them, as I am a bit addicted to collecting random chairs!
mine holds my old school boom box next to the credenza in the dining room.
If you have a wide closet, you might be able to store some chairs in there, facing forward. You can still put your shoes on the floor, and folded sweaters and such on the seat. Your clothes hang on the rod above the chair.
Why not put it in a corner of the bedroom or in the hallway - and sit on it while putting on/removing your socks/shoes?
How about putting it in the kitchen - so someone could sit on it while watching you cook dinner?
Or you could put it in a corner of the office - so someone can sit on it & talk to you while you're working?
This is timely since i just bought more chairs, and one of the ones we were using for the table is superfluous. It's not very comfy, so it's been bumped. I think it can go live in the hall now (it's in the living room atm, but it seems to collect clutter).
I've got two spare bar stools that were a gift from my dad, so I can't get rid of them - besides, I love them! But our current place doesn't have a bar. So they're acting as coffee tables and food stands whenever we have drinks and nibbles. They work very well! They'd be great as a plant stand, too, I think.
Where do I find that coffee table?
I can think of many times when a chair would make a handy laptop stand ~ not only while in use, but for charging as well.
I have a pretty but decrepit ice cream style chair holding my printer. And one in my closet for shoe removal and tossing stuff.

Here are more hot topics for January 24!
Longtime couple Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis no longer live together, and their relationship is just about over, according to a new report from People. Although it's not official, sources close to the pair claim "The Rum Diary" actor and Vanessa -- a singer, model and actress -- have called it quits after 14 years.
Depp and Paradis, who used to live in the picturesque French countryside, now reside mostly in Los Angeles, but are hardly ever in the same city. The good-looking duo has not been seen on the red carpet together in over a year.
Actor Johnny Depp opened up to "Extra" on why he hasn't married his girlfriend of 12 years, Vanessa Paradis, and what the couple and their two children have planned for the holidays.
"I never found myself needing that piece of paper," Depp said as to why he and Paradis haven't tied the knot. "Marriage is really from soul to soul, heart to heart. You don't need somebody to say, okay you're married... If Vanessa wanted to get hitched, why not... But the thing is, I'd be so scared of ruining her last name. She's got such a good last name."

So they took "Epic Beard Man" (google it, trust me) and turned it into a movie with Danny Trejo. Except now he's more of an all around do-gooder as opposed to an unhinged, possibly racist Santa impersonator that can throw a haymaker like nobody's business. Just like Hollywood, always dumbing it down for the masses...
One time I had to go on a religious retreat in high school, and listen to a Priest give a talk about how he's an alcoholic who used to steal wine from communion... then he started talking about masturbation and how it's wrong. I don't remember what the point is but "Heretic" is a movie with a priest who may or may not have done some bad stuff... much like the priest from my story. There it is.
Something jogged a long dormant memory of these 80's toys for me this weekend, and my brain nearly exploded with nostalgia. Kudos to podcast co-host Mark for conjuring up the name, all I could remember was that they smelled like crap.
You may be wondering why you can no longer access "BGH Classics" - where we sold back episodes of the show for 99 cents - on the site any more. Well, we caught wind that the service we were using was not going to be available for much longer, so our fancy business guy Jon had to take time to do some research and find a new outlet to make that stuff available. He did eventually find one, but we're still in the process of re-uploading and organizing everything. My guess is in the next week or two, BGH Classics will be made available to the masses once again.
Remind me how many D's this movie has again?
I've seen this movie probably 50 times, the old "rednecks hunt innocent city folk in the woods" thing, but never from a German production company.
I read an interesting article once about the German people's obsession with crap. Like, poop-crap. Apparently their cultural lore and sayings are riddled with references to poop, both in positive and negative ways. Not sure what that says but ya, 99% sure there's going to be some poop in this movie. So there's that.
We checked out Darren Lynn Bousman's "Mother's Day" (a remake of the "classic" Troma film) a few months back on the podcast and the response, for the most part, was "thumbs up". Your chance to see it comes on May 8th when it hits DVD. The cover art goes full "Rebecca De Mornay", and frankly makes it look like a Lifetime movie. Trust us, it's not. (click to enhance)
I have literally wanted this to happen at every wedding I've ever been to. Sid Haig usually isn't there, but I agree with the filmmakers that it makes the fantasy even better. "Devil in My Ride" is hitting the festival circuit this summer.
Not sure if the fact that this is British is enough to make up for the fact that I've seen this movie a few dozen times by other names. Still, the trailer had me by the end. No solid release info yet but "Inbred" is a current selection at the UK's annual Fright Fest.
Camel Spiders are the most terrifying things on earth... that's a fact. I doubt the movie "Camel Spiders" will be nearly as scary as the real thing, but it sure looks like damn fun. Unlike clicking on that Google link in the first sentence. That will ruin your day real quick.
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.

Natural Sources - Raw Thyroid - 60 Capsules
Natural Sources Raw Thyroid is a glandular extract of the endocrine gland responsible for controlling metabolism and growth and may benefit individuals with slow metabolism, low energy, melancholy, cold hands and feet, and restlessness. New. Easy to Digest Capsules. Dietary Supplement. Whole Raw tissue concentrated from bovine sources specially processed (freeze-dried) at or below -5° to preserve natural occurring vitamins, enzymes, nucleotides, lipoproteins and all other cellular components. Raw tissue concentrates imported from New Zealand are made from toxin-free lyophilized glands from animals grazed on rangeland free of pesticides, growth hormones, antibiotics or chemical additives.The thyroid gland surrounds the wind pipe at the base of the neck. It produces a number of hormones, primarily thyroxine, that accelerate the basal metabolic rate and thus directly influence circulation, respiration, and tissue growth and repair. Thyroxine is also central to sexuality in women, providing a glandular link between the brain the organs of reproduction.The other principal thyroid hormone is calcitonin, which inhibits the release of calcium from bone and plays a central role in maintaining both calcium balance and strong bones.Hyperthyroidism Hyperthyroidism is the name given to overproduction of thyrozine, causes extreme nervousness and irritability, increased heart rate and blood pressure, and weight loss. Under production of thyrozine, or hypothyroidism, results in dry skin, brittle nails, and a lack of energy in adults. Goiter,which is actually an enlarged thyroid, is a sign of thyroid insufficiency. In infants, hypothyroidism can be devastating, inhibiting physical development and causing irreversible mental retardation.
Hypothyroidism Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland fails to function adequately, resulting in reduced levels of thyroid hormone in the body. Cretinism is a type of hypothyroidism that occurs at birth and results in stunted physical growth and mental development. Severe hypothyroidism is called myxedema.
There are many causes of hypothyroidism. One common cause is Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune disease of the thyroid gland. Another common cause of hypothyroidism is medical treatment, such as surgery or radiation to the thyroid gland, to treat hyperthyroidism (over-activity of the thyroid gland). Some drugs, such as lithium and phenylbutazone, may also induce hypothyroidism. Extreme iodine deficiency, which is rare in the United States, is another possible cause. Failure of the pituitary gland or hypothalamus to stimulate the thyroid gland properly can cause a condition known as secondary hypothyroidism.
Some people with goiter (an enlargement of the thyroid gland) also have hypothyroidism. Goiter can be caused by an iodine deficiency, by eating foods that contain goitrogens (goiter-causing substances), or by other disorders that interfere with thyroid hormone production. In many cases the cause of goiter cannot be determined. While natural therapies may help to some extent, thyroid hormone replacement is necessary for most people with hypothyroidism.
Who is likely to be deficient?As thyroid extract is not an essential nutrient, therefore, no deficiency state exists.
How much is usually taken?The recommended intake depends on the concentration, method of preparation, and quality of the thyroid extract. Follow the manufacturer's recommendation on the label.
Are there any side effects or interactions?No side effects or adverse reactions have been reported. However, people taking prescription thyroid hormones should consult their doctor before using non-prescription thyroid extracts.

Whet your appetite of your favorite Japanese take-out foods, at home! After taking this class, you'll be prepared to roll up any fresh ingredients inside a delicious sheet of nori with sushi rice.
We'll be making several types of these -- maki rolls -- which you can adapt with any fresh vegetables and other ingredients you desire, and some classic sides like miso soup and salad with ginger-miso dressing.
The recipes are simple, easy to produce on a busy weeknight, and reliably healthy and fresh. And why limit yourself to the standard sushi roll fillings? We'll get inventive with the amazing BLT roll and summery favorite, the Maine lobster roll roll, with wasabi mayonnaise and scallions.
Note: Come prepared to get your hands a little messy with sticky sushi rice but no need to bring or wear anything special.
Coming soon...

One man was killed in a mobile home fire early Saturday morning near McKellips Road and McClintock Drive. Neighbors say without the help of some good Samaritans, more homes and lives could have been lost. A home in the Pueblo Sereno mobile home park caught fire around 1 a.m.He says he only woke up because he heard voices outside.A neighbor tells FOX 10 that four men, who were just passing by, stopped to No one was sure if anyone was in the mobile home. The four men couldn't get inside, but they called the fire department and alerted neighbors. Investigators say the fire was contained to the living room, where a 57-year-old homeowner was later found. They were unable to save him. The man who died was known in the community, although people knew little about him. Fire investigators say they see nothing suspicious about the fire, but friends of the man say he's a known smoker and wonder if he fell asleep with a cigarette in his hand. The cause of the fire hasn't been determined.

Yahoo has confirmed widespread reports that it will acquire the popular blogging service Tumblr, and also promised not to "screw it up." The deal is worth about $1.1 billion, nearly all in cash.
"Per the agreement and our promise not to screw it up, Tumblr will be independently operated as a separate business," Yahoo said in a statement on Monday. Tumblr CEO and founder David Karp will remain in that position and its "product, service and brand will continue to be defined and developed separately with the same Tumblr irreverence, wit, and commitment to empower creators," the statement added.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Thousands of Tumblr users migrate to WordPress in wake of Yahoo acquisition. | Stay ahead of the key tech business news with InfoWorld's Today's Headlines: First Look newsletter. ]
In a blog post on Monday, Karp called the deal "awesome" and sought to ease any concerns his employees may have. "We're not turning purple," he wrote. "Our headquarters isn't moving. Our team isn't changing. Our roadmap isn't changing. And our mission -- to empower creators to make their best work and get it in front of the audience they deserve -- certainly isn't changing."
With the acquisition, "Tumblr gets better faster," he added, signing off the post, "[expletive] yeah, David."
Yahoo is hoping Tumblr's fast growth and widespread appeal will give it a fresh foothold in the competitive social media advertising market. Tumblr has 120,000 new users sign up each day and 300 million unique visitors monthly, Yahoo said.
While Yahoo users skew older, Tumblr's audience is "the youngest of any site at scale," Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer said during a conference call on Monday.
Combined, the companies will boost Yahoo's audience by 50 percent, reaching more than 1 billion visitors per month, according to the announcement.
Combined, the companies will boost Yahoo's audience by 50 percent, reaching more than 1 billion visitors per month, according to the announcement.
Both companies are also "intensely focused on mobile," and focused on delivering "advertising "that is as good as the content itself and seamless with the experience," Mayer said.
There are a number of places on Tumblr that seem appropriate for more ads, such as the dashboard, Mayer said. Yahoo will also look to work with Tumblr bloggers who would give permission for ads to run on their sites, she added.
Yahoo expects that new revenue from Tumblr "will start to materialize in a major way in 2014," Yahoo chief financial officer Ken Goldman said on the conference call. The purchase price was justified based on a "detailed analysis" of factors such as Tumblr's user base growth, Goldman said.
Meanwhile, Tumblr will gain access to Yahoo's "sophisticated personalization technology" and with added investment its team will be able to release products faster, according to Mayer. In turn, Yahoo will benefit from rich Tumblr content it can integrate with its personalized news streams, she said.
While the companies will "obviously" be integrated on the back end infrastructure level, Yahoo is keen on maintaining some separation between the two.
"Part of our strategy here is to be Tumblr be Tumblr," Mayer said. "In terms of integration we plan to brand and grow Tumblr separately from Yahoo. We will not have Yahoo branding on the Tumblr site."
Yahoo may be wise to emphasize at the outset that it plans to handle Tumblr with kid gloves.

THE MAGIC BEGINS: Most powerful quote/favourite lines↳ Snape's breathing was shallow. "Her boy survives," said Dumbledore. With a tiny jerk of the head, Snape seemed to flick off an irksome fly. "Her son lives. He has her eyes, precisely her eyes. You remember the shape and color of Lily Evans's eyes, I am sure?" "DON'T!" bellowed Snape. "Gone…dead…" "Is this remorse, Severus?" "I wish…I wish I were dead…"

Category name i.e.GAMING
The story mode kicks off with a heart wrenching introduction but inevitability hits a road block as it tries to inject an organic narrative in the monotonous task of driving. Although it has its fair share of enthralling performances, some parts of the story seem like a dull requisite.
But, if you look past the story mode and focus on arcade-like components, it's a killer. The game features a vast array of old classics and modern supercars. Particularly impressive are the rare gems like Pagani's new Huayra, Lamborghini's Sesto Elemento and Aston Martin's One-77. The cars boast fastidious attention to detail and look exquisite as they wreak havoc against the scenic backdrop.
The best part is when you hit the accelerator and a crescendo of engine notes boom, complemented by screeching tyres and the flailing of police sirens. In real life, most gamers won't get the chance to drive many of the cars featured in the game. Knowing that, every time you get behind a controller and rev the engine, you play out a fantasy and EA has done enough work to make it a worthy experience.
Unlike most racing car games, there's no money in NFS: The Run. It hits the tarmac with speed, starting off with good cars and allowing users to unlock levels before they can upgrade. But even then, they can swap cars as many times as they want, simply by entering a petrol station.
The driving dynamics feel a little more realistic than those used in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit II as it's much more difficult to ride slipping traction. The trigger button (R2 on a PS3) is used as the accelerator and realistically portrays how much pressure is needed to accelerate. To drift in this game, balancing the gas, the brake and residual speed is essential; otherwise you'll be catapulted off a cliff or spin out in front of an oncoming semi.
The supporting audio soundtrack really gets your heart rate up. You might be sitting at the beginning of a race, but in no time at all you find yourself standing, walking closer to the screen…and then apologising to your neighbours for the unavoidable cheering and cursing over a race's result.
The most addictive thing about NFS: The Run is the autolog's social aspect. When befriended online gamers beat your race time in a stage, you're automatically notified by the autolog. All of a sudden beating the computer is futile, because you want to do better—you have do better—than your friends. It rouses that healthy and social competition found in classic multiplayer games, like 007's Golden Eye and any of the Fifa titles. Of the whole game, this feature could be the innovation that inspires others.
Need for Speed: The Run is like an action film in that its storyline is barely plausible but it is undeniably entertaining. In one moment you're appreciating beautiful cars. The next, you're being ambushed by cops, exchanging paint with oncoming traffic and tactfully out manoeuvring competitors. It is engaging, dramatic and most importantly, lots of fun.

J 3 f By Preston McConkie asst. news editor-The Signpost It was nothing like last year. Last year saw a spirited student campaign. Four candidates clamored in the primaries for student body president, and a trio of IMPACT council personalities conferred in the Diversity Center, hoping to storm the Weber State University Student Association government. But it ended in shambles. At the election party where winners were supposed to be announced, election Chairman Roque Manzanares ordered reporters out of a meeting in hopes of privately breaking the bad news to candidates: the election had been ruined by massive cheating. This year the press was welcomed into the senate room where election Chairman Steve DeVries handed out envelopes to the expectant candidates. A few candidates were even AWOL, one stringing in late after attending a Kenneth Cope concert. Last year Dee Hansen secured the student body presidency with 683 votes against 590 for second-place Cody Craynor and 63 for write-in Andrew Shafer. This year he won with 774 votes against ... nobody. And nobody seemed surprised. "It wasn't worth reporting the write-ins," DeVries said. "People were writing in things like Minnie Mouse." Last year, academic senators who ran unopposed got as many as a 1,000 votes. This year no senate candidate broke 100.

Wordon was elected 2000-01 social sciences senator. By Preston McConkie asst. news editor-The Signpost The contrast could not have been much greater when Eric Neff and Julie Worden stood to have their pictures taken at the March election orientation. Neff is well over six feet tall, standing at least a foot above Worden. He grinned and made muscle-man poses with his broad arms, joking as photographers zeroed in. Petite Worden simply stood in place, took off her glasses and squinted toward the cameras, a deceptively shy smile pulling hard at her lips. One observer commented, "If it's just about presence, Neffs got tills one wrapped up." But in a real-life tortoise and hare story, quiet, underfunded Worden's campaign made up in faith and persistence what it lacked in commanding presence. With a single small sign sunk in the band practice field proclaiming "Julie Worden for social science senator," she doggedly sought out constituents, going from class to class in the see Obstacles page 3 FqoQO GSjLTQLa 07(13 OuG By Dustin West staff writer-The Signpost The recent gas price Increase has left many Weber State University students angry at the pump. "When gas prices go up a couple of cents I can handle It," said Justin Stott, a senior at WSU. "But when it goes up more than 30 cents, that's ridiculous." This 30-cent increase can affect the cost of getting an education at WSU since most students commute. "I got $35 in tips last night," said Jason Elphick, a junior studying political science at WSU. "I used every bit of it to get gas and it still didn't fill my truck all the way. The sad thing is that it will only last me about two weeks," Elphick said while slowly shaking his head back and forth. "What a joke." Elphick, like many others on the WSU campus, works while going to school. For many students, the day .. consists of driving to school, driving to work, and driving back home again. "It begins to add up," Elphick said. Elphick talked about how his personal finance class helped him start to cut corners to save money. Now with the gas price increase, Elphick Is worried whether he will be able to save the money he would like to. see Full Tank page 3 Stable to retire after 19 years By Tara Jefferson senior news reporter-The Signpost As the graduating students of Weber State University leave to embark on the next phase of their lives, so will P.

|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|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.

The 4 Qs
What do we want the customer to think?
What do we want the customer to do?
How is what we offer better?
How is what we offer different?
Tablets are coming, and will change everything
Wired and Adobe have created a pretty amazing 'Wired Reader' for tablets that's well worth looking at:
Why is this important…?
Abobe isn't dead: Air on the iPad – who knew (OK, probably most of you, but I didn't)?
Print design isn't dead: in fact the tablet looks like the screen is big enough to take a magazine-style layout. The workflow also seems to be changing – you would no longer need a dedicated 'print' and 'web' publishing team
Display advertising isn't dead: some of the 360-degree ads here will launch a whole new wave of immersive, interactive campaigns.
Why is this exciting…
The future of our industry will be a lot more complex: more sophisticated interactions to plan for, more ways of integrating and using data, more digital devices and channels us all to consider.
"An opportunity to reset the economics" of digital – well that sounds… transformational…
Still think the iPad is just an oversized iPhone?
Howies: two moments of delight in the eCommerce experience
I've long been a big Howies fan, so it's not exactly my first time ordering from their site. But I came across two little details in the eCommerce experience that really set the site apart.
Firstly, if you've not put enough in your basket to get free shipping, but click Checkout, you get a lightbox-style alert:
Second, the confirmation message after checking out just shows they've put so much thought into their copy writing (wish I could write better):
