By RANDY CARDEN Staff writer of The Signpost KWCR officials have known they will be relocating since last year, however, the site of their temporary new home is still unknown. Eventually, KWCR will relocate to Union Building, where The Signpost's production department is now. The 'Signpost will occupy the area of the Union Building formerly occupied by Marriott Food Services, said Ty Sanders, director of broadcasting in the communication department. At the rate of current rennovation, KWCR and The Signpost will not be able to move by Dec. 15, Sanders said. KWCR has to be out of Annex 3 by that date because the asbestos abatement will begin. "What it comes down to is, move to a temporary space or go off the air. Where that temporary space will be, I i don't know," Sanders said. " "The temporary spot for the radio station has been decided on, but has not yet been approved by President's Council. It won't be approved until next Wednesday," said Michael E. ,-iwlis, director of the Shepherd Union Building. "We're looking to set up a temporary trailer. We're concerned with keeping the radio station on the air," Ellis said. "We're going to try to have the space available here for them to move into by Dec. 1 or there about." According to a 1992-3 Special Projects Request, written by Ellis, relocation of the radio station was proposed to take place in the summer of '92. Feeding frenzy M(WCR to search for new home A F V I I V - g j 6X X CHUCK BOWHAY THE SIGNPOST THE FEATHERED FOWL of the WSU pond seem to be able to sight food from across the water. . Reasons for the radio station not being able to move by the original proposed date derived from several factors, said Dr. Marie Kotter, vice president of student services. WSU's architectural service department contracted the remodeling project out to another architectural firm because WSU architects were trying to complete too many projects. "The rationale was to speed it up, when in fact it didn't speed it up it slowed them down," Kotter said. "Both The Signpost and KWCR made some changes. In other words, the architect did a plan and then came back with a preliminary plan and there were changes made, which slowed things dovn a little bit," Kotter said. The Signpost decided to change the location of a couple of doors and the dark room configuration, Ellis said. Because of changes, the architectural firm had to get on with other commitments they had with other organizations, said Jerry Jones, an architect from the WSU architectural service department. "That's essentially what the whole delay has been," Jones said. Money to cover the cost of this move and the renovation of The Signpost and the new radio station area is coming out of the student fee bond for the Union Building, Kotter said. "In student fees last year, we ap proved remodeling the Union Building based on keeping up with the student service building," Kotter said. About $100,000 has been approved by student services to cover the cost of the relocation of the radio station, which i ncl udes the cost o f a 1 1 the reno-vations that need to take place before the radio station can move in. This money includes the renovation of The Signpost area, as well as covering the cost of the asbestos removaI,EI 1 is sa id . "The key is we've got to stay under $100,000," Ellis said.

SLCC student newspaper plants phony letter Managing editor receives 30-day probation after trying to create student interest Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY The student editor of Salt Lake Community College Horizon has found himself in tempest of controversy after planting a phony letter in the campus newspaper. The goal of the letter, according to managing editor Dean Cruff, was to stimulate interest in the paper's editorial page. The result was something different. 'They definitely want to crucify me," he said, after the letter sparked a flood of sometimes nasty rebuttals and a petition drive for his resignation. "We did it, it was unethical, but we didn't kill anybody. We just tried to make people mad enough to write in." The letter, signed by a fictitious Jack Campbell, appeared on the op-edit page Oct. 21 and lambasted students who pay tuition with federal grants as "losers," "low-lifers" and "drug users." It infuriated readers, many of whom suggested just whereCampbell should put his ideas. The letter, however, was actually written by the newspaper staff and an interim adviser. For his part, Cruff has found himself on 30-days probation as the paper's editor. Cruff said the letter was put together by newspaper staff and a $9-an-hour temporary advisor hired to help guide students in their journalistic endeavor. The advisor, who Cruff would not identify, is gone. "He helped crea le the letter a nd thought it was great," Cruff said. The letter successfully fired up the 19,000-member SLCC student body, 6,000 of whom pay for college through student aid programs such as the Pell grant. "It makes the rest of us so sick that you all get to go to college for free," wrote the nonexistent Campbell.

|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.

Picking a shopping cart for your online business is one of the most important decisions you will have to make when you launch your website. This graphic examines essential features of shopping cart software from many angles. From a usability perspective, this is possibly the best graphic we have ever featured on this site. Sure, we've had graphics to help you memorise the names of every pasta type on Earth, and graphics to make you aware of every nook and cranny on the cruise ship Oasis of the Sea.
But this graphic serves a real practical purpose. Say you're a website owner. You need shopping cart software for your e-commerce site and you need it now. Where are you going to turn? This graphic, of course.
The graphic points out that web design is very important and that first impressions count a great deal. Grand web design has shown unequivocally to increase conversions. A pie chart on the graphic shows that 75% of web users make snap judgments on a company's credibility based on its site design. Frankly, I find that rather sad, but that is the reality, and if you are running a website, that is a reality you have to cope with. A more haunting bit is the fact that 68% of users say they will distrust a website if its design isn't up to snuff. That is very stat to keep in mind if you're running an e-commerce site.
The graphic goes through a checklist of items that every shopping cart should have in order to be ready for prime-time, if you will. Here's a brief summary:
- Support should be offered 24/7
- Account managers should be available for assistance at all times
- inventory controls are a must
- an affiliate program built into the software is ideal
- the cart should be optimised from a search engine optimisation perspective

Ever wondered about the nuts and bolts of the credit card charging process? This graphic describes exactly what happens when you hand a cashier a credit card and he or she swipes it.
The machine immedately checks to ensure the customer has enough money in their account. The computer looks up information about the customer to verify that everything is copacetic. No money is being transferred for the first few seconds of the transaction, just info about the patron. After the check is complete, the money begins its slow crawl toward the merchant's bank account. It's so slow in fact that the money transfer is actually spread over a few days. The total gateway fees aren't even collected until the end of the month.
According to the stats, a typical transaction of $100 will net the merchant about $96 after all the fees have been tallied up.

A Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) is a member of the surgical team who works with surgeons, anesthesiologists and certified registered nurse anesthetists, registered nurses, and other surgical personnel in delivering patient care and assuming appropriate responsibilities before, during and after surgery. Duties include passing instruments to the surgeon and assisting during surgery.
Surgical Technologists are responsible for many important tasks assisting in the care of surgical patients, including:
Surgical technologists may specialize and assist in complex procedures such as liver transplants. With additional education, they may become surgical nurses or surgical technology instructors. Some surgical technologists assume management positions in hospital central supply departments or in business firms such as sterile supply services and operating room equipment distributors.
Individuals who want to enter the field of surgical technology need manual dexterity because they must handle instruments quickly. A surgical technologist must have excellent critical thinking skills to be able to anticipate the needs of the patient and the surgical team. They must also be alert, conscientious, orderly, and emotionally stable to handle the demands of surgeons. Surgical technologists need to have stamina and be able to work on their feet through out operations that may last several hours.
The program follows the Core Curriculum for the Surgical Technologist, developed by the Association of Surgical Technologists, Inc. Graduates will be eligible to sit for the exam given by the National Board for Surgical Technologists and Surgical Assistants.
This two-year, 70-credit AAS degree program prepares students for successful employment in an operating room assisting the surgeon and other members of the professional staff with patient care before, during, and after surgery. Through classroom study and clinical fieldwork in area hospitals, students learn surgical asepsis and the preparation and use of instrumentation and equipment. Students completing the program are eligible to take the certifying examination given by the Association of Surgical Technologists. Prospective SGT students should consult with the Admissions Office about the insurance, course sequence, and grade standards that must be maintained. Students must be eligible for all college level courses to be eligible for admission to the program.

'A mysterious "Council of Nine" decides war and peace in the Middle East' [Webster Tarpley © PressTV]

Netanyahou could easily fall in the coming elections says Webster Tarpley and he could be replaced by somebody more reasonable ( an Olmert led coalition ) , Israel is more isolated than ever and a ground invasion will isolate it further ....
According to an analyst, the attack on Gaza will fail militarily and in fact has already been politically defeated with Benjamin Netanyahu's career on the line. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, who is up for an election on January 22, is believed to have attacked the Gaza Strip to help boost his chances for his reelection. However, unlike the 2006 war on Gaza this time the resistance is better prepared. Press TV has interviewed Dr. Webster Griffin Tarpley, author and historian, Washington, to further discuss Netanyahu, his relationship with the United States and his Gaza strategies.

Does the MZC271 have as much pop as the pro maple bat?
Composite wood bats such as the Mizuno Composite Wood Bat (MZC271) will typically out perform a pro maple bat.
Is MZC271 a balanced model or is the MZC62 balanced model?
Both the Mizuno Composite Wood Bat: MZC271 and the MZC62 are balanced models.
I was under the awareness that the 271 turning model was a balanced bat. However, I was recently told by a knowledgable source that the 271 was an end loaded turning model. Everything that I've found seems to contradict this leading me to suspect they simply made a mistake. Could you confirm this? Also, how does this bat compare to the DeMarini DX110 model both in specifications and performance?
I can tell you from years of experience that different players have different ideas of what an endloaded or balanced wood bat feels like. In my opinion, a 271 turning model is balanced for a wood bat. However, I do know some players who have below average strength and swing speed and feel the 271 is slightly endloaded. The DX110 is similar in balance, durability and performance.
Product Description

Mizunos master craftsmen Isokazu Kubota, who has hand-crafted wooden bats for Mizuno for over 40 years, created this unique design.

Taking into account that Croatia will join the EU on 1 July 2013, there is no question that we face challenges, individually and collectively, on our path to become a full member of the European Union. From the experience of other countries, it is known that joining the EU really is a powerful stimulus and actuating force for the implementation of reform programmes.
Deloitte has an integrated approach towards European Union Institutions & Agencies, focused on services in the following areas:
Effective policy making must be a learning process which involves finding out from experience what works and what does not work - and making sure that others can benefit from the lessons learned. Deloitte's creative and experienced team brings deep policy knowledge and professional methodological tools and approaches to assignments, together with extensive experience in programme/ project management.
The Policy Services practice delivers a wide range of services, which can be summarised under the following main headings:
Effective enterprise architecture is not a "once and done" exercise. Rather it is a continuous effort that needs to complement and support the overall goals of the organisation.
The European Institutions Performance Map is Deloitte's unique tool, especially tailored to meet the European Institutions business needs and used to help the Union achieve performance improvements in the following four core areas:
Organisational and process optimisation services include:
We (re-)design business processes to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the service/ organisation's activities, we offer programme and project portfolio management as well as services related to business intelligence strategy and enterprise architecture.
The EU provides funding and grants for a vast range of projects and programmes. Accountability and transparency are vital to ensure that EU funds are used properly.
What services do we deliver?
Deloitte is a privileged partner to assist EU Finance Functions to successfully operate, modernise and anticipate 21st century demands and challenges. This concerns not only the enhancement of traditional back-office and control activities, but also the implementation of new techniques to increase efficiency and add more value, while aligning to the requirements of EU Regulations.
Deloitte encompass all of Deloitte's capabilities to help Finance Officers improve in the multiple roles they play – from reporting and controls to finance operations to strategy and execution – and address the challenges their finance organisations face.
Deloitte's core CFO Services
The business/working environment is changing ever more rapidly in response to market pressures and a quest for higher levels of efficiency - and IT is expected to not only keep pace with this change, but to drive it.
Croatian entrepreneurs, in particular those trading with EU partners, will have to adapt their day-to-day business processes to requirements that will arise from Croatia's full EU membership. Transactions with EU partners will not be treated as import and export transactions in terms of customs and VAT, they will be treated as intra¬community trade. Consequently, the focus of the traders will have to be shift from completion of import and export formalities to compliance with reporting requirement as set by the laws. With its team of experts Deloitte can meet clients' pre and post accession needs and make a valuable contribution in setting up and implementation of the new business models.
Our core VAT&Customs services include an overall project completed in three stages:
Numerous new opportunities for funding business development and projects from EU funds will become available to Croatian companies upon Croatia's acquiring a full member-state status. Among other, Deloitte professionals can assist in the following areas:

This is the one thing I did not get when Microsoft's machine hit the windows was people like ACER whining when they should have just been doing what these companies are. We don't see a lot of things straight forward but I will promise you the world of commerce is changing right around us.
Good to see not all companies boo hooed about microsoft making a tablet. Plus its always good to see some healthy competition. Still not sure id pull the trigger on a windows RT tablet when i can get an x86 version, but im certainly looking forward to a windows rt tablet roundup here on HH!
Desktops are better. But everyone should just put out quality products and just let the masses decide
Well since the App store will be Microsoft controlled for Windows RT, I don't know how much of a selection there will be.
Comparing these to desktops are like comparing apples to oranges. Desktops aren't mobile. Comparing them to a laptop would be more suitable.
MS will still allow Storefronts and Streaming in their App Store. While 3rd party payment systems are also allowed as long as they meet their requirements.
The 30% fee they charge is only applicable if you use their payment system and it drops to 20% once a app makes $25,000. While MS sets app pricing at a minimum of $1.49 and a maximum of $999.
Apps and services provided directly through the store will be under MS requirements though. So nothing too adult, names have to be original, have to get approved, etc.
While side loading is still possible on the desktop (legacy support) or through Administration or company IT. The App Store is mainly a requirement for Windows 8 apps (previously known as Metro) and the only choice for WP8 and Windows RT (aside from some work around solutions that'll be provided to companies).
It will take time to make a large number of apps for this new Windows platform but since it has cross platform support means they can pool resources. Since developers can, with not too many restrictions, make the same app run on WP8, Windows RT, and Windows 8/Pro and even auto adjust for each type of device it's running on.
While they've already started and should have at least enough to start with at launch. Though, Windows RT is the most vulnerable for the lack of apps. Since WP8 has WP7x apps to fall back on and Windows 8/Pro has legacy apps, but Windows RT will be pretty much all or nothing except for what apps MS pre-installs.

Bio and Links
I've lived in Acushnet, MA. since 1958.
My parents, maternal grandparents and several aunts and uncles are at Pine Grove Cemetery in New Bedford so I started adding to the entries there to aid others researching their genealogy and got hooked on photographing stones and adding to the data here.
Please don't hesitate to ask for a transfer of any relative of yours that I've entered, no matter how distantly related. I'm not related to 99% memorials I've created and always like to see them in the care of family.
I don't mind when headstone photos I've posted here are used in family trees but I DO mind when users don't acknowledge that they've copied them from FAG so I've also been posting most of them to my FAG research tree under my Ancestry user name "trinka5364".
This should help users of both sites add them to their trees and at least when copied from the tree, the photo is attributed to me. It may be your relative but I'm the one who spent my day off walking through the cemetery taking pictures, and for some difficult stones I may have made a second trip to get a better shot, so please have the courtesy to give credit to the photographer when copying.

Thanks for contacting me. I haven't done any research on the House family for some time and would not have known when and where my gggreat-uncle had died. Appreciate your willingness to do this. Unfortunately a few on F.A.G. wouldn't have done so. Again, thank you.

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you; but, am in the process of moving.
I am almost certain that your memorial is the correct one. Since Isaac's father was a Methodist minister also, I would say that this is the same man. I'm glad to know when he died and where he is buried.
Since he is my gggrandfather's brother, I would like to maintain his memorial. I will correct mine and if you would add your picture, I would be very greatful. Thank you.

Thanks for your message. I hadn't visited Horatio's memorial page since I created it in 2011, and now, within the past fortnight, both you and another graver contacted me about it. The search engine isn't always reliable, as an already existing memorial may not turn up if non-established info is added to the search page, so I hadn't been aware of the one created in 2008. I'm not a "duper", and appreciate the heads up.
Best regards,

Thanks for transferring Susie and Amy to us. I also want to thank you for noticing the DOD for Susie. When we visited the gravestone several years ago, we noticed that Susie and Amy had never been added to the stone so my brother made arrangements to have that done. We had never seen the end result(we all live in Maine now)and didn't know of the mistake until you pointed it out. I plan to add Amy's(Fanny to us) and Charles' story at some point. He was a whaling captain and she was on the ship-iced in at Herschel Island in the Artic- when he died. She kept him on ice all winter, brought him back to San Francisco where he was embalmed, and then brought him by train back to New Bedford for burial. She and Susie(a widow early also) raised my grandfather as his parents died from tuberculosis when he was quite young.

The average holiday shopper will spend around $750 on gifts during the holiday season.
The hottest gadgets and electronics will be at the top of many lists and the dollar figure can easily rise.
Sharon Tazewell spoke with financial expert Erica Sandberg about smart ways to reduce your shopping stress, manage your spending and still get everything on your shopping list.
Sharon Tazewell: Let's start with how we can create a smart shopping plan.
Erica Sandberg: The first step is to plan, but plan in a different way. Instead of making a shopping list for all the people you want to buy for, make sure you start with the amount of money you want to spend and that you're comfortable with spending.
ST: How about shopping wisely and making sure we make the right purchase?
ES: Tech items are smoking hot right now, but other popular items are things like jewelry, really cool cameras (and) smart phones. This is what people are buying this year so you want to get the best price from the best source. Do your research.
ST: I'm sure you've heard of the term "showrooming" where people go into the brick and mortar stores and find an item they like, then go online to find a cheaper price. What are your thoughts about showrooming?
ES: Nothing wrong with that. Your aim is to get the best price. Because some of these items are so expensive, you want to make sure they're also protected.

Are humans irrational? If so, how can we build stronger institutions to compensate for human shortcomings in rationality?
David Ropeik argues that "The brain is only the organ for which we think we think. It's job is not to win noble prizes. And to pass math tests. It's job is to get us tomorrow. Its a survival mechanism.. and it plays a lot of tricks in order to get us to tomorrow. That worked pretty well when the risks were lions and tigers and bears… Its not as good when we need to rationalize and reason and use the facts more with the complicated risks we face in a modern age: climate change, genetically modified food, and unsustainable living on the planet.. That takes a lot more thinking. More cognitive, slow,more effortful thinking. That we are not instinctively built that way must be recognized if we are going to get beyond the risk of not being built that way."
Dan Ariely provides further evidence that humans have irrational cognitive thought in his TedTalk and offers the following, "If we have these predictable, repeatable mistakes in vision, some thing that we are good at, what's the chance that we don't make more mistakes at something we're not as good at? For example financial decision making. Something we don't have an evolutionary reason to do, we don't have a specialized part of the brain, and we don't do that many parts of the day. The argument is that in those cases we make many more mistakes.."
In another TedTalk Dan Ariely provides the following food for thought, "Are we superman or are we Homer Simpson? When it comes to building the physical world we understand our limitations and we build around it. But for some reason when it comes to the mental world when we design things like healthcare, retirement, and the stock market we somehow forget the idea that we are limited. And i think if we understood our cognitive limitations in the same way that we understand our physical limitations we could design a better world."
Do you agree with them? How do we better structure institutions that can compensate for our shortcoming?

Nov 14 2012: "The very reason we need logic at all is because most reasoning is not conscious at all." -- Julian Jaynes
"Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions." -- David Hume
We use reason to justify conclusions we reach subconsciously. There seems to be no way to improve it.
In matters of fact (as opposed to pure mathematical problems), we can be presented with tons of evidence, but we would believe any of it only if it makes an emotional impression on us.
Especially, when it comes to moral decisions, reason is useless. Moral decisions are made purely by emotions. "Cost and benefit" are very subjective concepts. Everyone would flip a railroad switch to save 5 abstract people, but killing one abstract person instead. Situation changes dramatically when the one person is a child, and 5 people are known convicted murderers. And when I consider morality of killing 5 thugs who try kill one person (me), numbers don't matter at all.
I see the way to improve the situation in studying and understanding our own emotions and emotions of others. When more people understand how our words and actions affect others emotionally, this world will be a much happier place.
And in the meantime, our school system is focused on math and reading scores, and technology creates new ways to communicate in which we don't see each others face or hear each others voice.
Nov 18 2012: "We use reason to justify conclusions we reach subconsciously. There seems to be no way to improve it." - I think this is key! Thanks for pointing it out. But can we change this? As i mentioned earlier to TedLover, emotions seem to be based on some level of presupposed deliberation or contemplation a person has done in the past, but my not consider the appropriate level of deliberation necessary for the current setting. Is the solution simply to stop and think longer before we act as David Ropeik suggests? Even with that there seems there would still be some level of subconscious selective bias towards our emotions.
Nov 18 2012: I'm not sure how to tell the difference between a thought and an emotion and what follows what. Emotions and thoughts seem to me like same processes, perhaps, taking place in different brain areas. I also do not think that emotions are based on past contemplations or experiences. Some of them are genetically programmed by evolution - e.g. fear.
I agree with TED Lover that being aware of our emotions gives us control over them. We should not, however, get rid of emotions. Emotions motivate us. Without emotions we would not have any desire to do anything at all. The full quote from Hume is: "Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them."
Another paradox is that being aware of our irrationality makes us more rational, just like awareness of ignorance gives rise to learning.
I think, we should train our feelings (subconscious reactions) as well as reasoning abilities. Both are skills that can be learned.

Trading high-octane shock value for something subtler, the single artwork for "Adore You" features a half-shot of Cyrus' face behind a bouquet of wilting pink roses.
Mm. I see what you did there, Miley.
The songstress tweeted out the artwork last night, with a note announcing that a video should be coming before too long
new single & video coming soon. #adoreyou pic.twitter.com/Y02rfLIxx6

North Dakota State University head football coach Craig Bohl received The Sports Network's 2012 Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award on Monday, Dec. 17, in Philadelphia after leading the Bison to a 13-1 overall record and second straight NCAA Division I FCS championship game appearance in Frisco, Texas. This is the fourth time he has been a finalist for the prestigious honor.
"This is great recognition for our program. Anyone who understands college football knows the head coach really doesn't have a lot to do with it. It's the assistant coaches, the support staff and the players. I will accept that recognition on behalf of our program. It's not an individual honor. This a collective effort," said Bohl.
Bohl is in his 10th season with an 88-32 overall record including a 23-8 record against nationally-ranked FCS teams and a 9-1 record in the FCS playoffs including the 2011 national championship. He has a 6-3 mark against Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) teams over the past seven seasons -- including a 22-7 win at Colorado State this season.
"This is a tremendous honor for Coach Bohl and our football program. To receive an award named after one of the all-time great coaches in college football is so meaninful and Craig is certainly deserving of this oustanding recognition," said NDSU director of athletics Gene Taylor.
"Knowing Craig, he would say that this award is more about his assistant coaches and players but I am extremely proud of him for what he has provided to our football program."
With the 88 wins, Bohl is second all-time at the school behind Rocky Hager (91-25-1, 1987-96). He received the Missouri Valley Football Conference's Bruce Craddock Coach of the Year honors for the second straight season after leading the Bison to a 7-1 record and a second straight conference title in 2012. It was the program's 29th league title overall and third since moving to the NCAA Division I FCS.
Bohl was elected to the Board of Trustees of the American Football Coaches Association at the 2012 AFCA Convention in San Antonio, Texas. He was also named the 2011 AFCA Region 4 FCS Coach of the Year.
History was made in 2010 when Bohl led the tradition rich program to its first-ever FCS playoff appearance -- dropping a 38-31 overtime decision at eventual national champion Eastern Washington in the quarterfinals. NDSU also hosted its first NCAA postseason game against Robert Morris in the Fargodome. The Bison compiled a 9-5 record in 2010, a dramatic turnaround from the 3-8 record the year before.
Since making the move to Division I FCS, the football program's performance on the field with the West Coast offense and aggressive defense has rekindled the excitement in the Fargo-Moorhead community, state of North Dakota and the region.
NDSU's average home attendance in the Fargodome has grown from 11,567 in 2003 to a school record 18,516 achieved in 2012. There have been 13 sellouts over the past seven seasons. Capacity is listed at 18,700. The Bison are 52-12 at home over the past 10 years.
Since his arrival, North Dakota State has had eight players earn 11 Academic All-America team honors. Fourteen different players have received All-America honors. A Bison student-athlete has been selected to the Allstate/AFCA Good Works team six times over the past 10 years. NDSU has also received the FCS Athletic Directors Association APR Award several times including the 2010-11 academic year.
In addition, North Dakota State has been ranked in the top five for 41 weeks since moving NCAA Division I FCS including 22 weeks at No. 1.
Bohl's first full-time position was as a secondary coach under Don Morton in 1984 when NDSU finished second in the nation with a 12-1 record. After that Bohl coached on the Division I level for 18 seasons including stops at five different universities -- linebackers coach at Tulsa (1985-86), linebackers coach at Wisconsin (1987-88), defensive coordinator at Rice (1989-93), defensive coordinator/linebackers coach at Duke for one season (1994), and linebackers coach at Nebraska for eight years (1995-2002).
The final three seasons at Nebraska also included the defensive coordinator duties. His seasons at Nebraska included a number of Top 10 defensive national rankings for a team that compiled an 85-18 record including national championships with a Fiesta Bowl win in 1995 and an Orange Bowl win in 1997. A number of athletes who played for Bohl while at Nebraska have played or been drafted in the National Football League.
A native of Lincoln, Nebraska, and 1982 graduate of the University, he was a reserve in the Cornhusker secondary from 1977 through 1979 under coaching legend and mentor Tom Osborne, and played on NU's 1979 Orange Bowl and 1980 Cotton Bowl teams.
Bohl and his wife, Leia, reside in Fargo. He has twin daughters, Mallory and Morgan, and a son, Aaron.

The Persuasions - A Cappella Dreams
The Persuasions - A Cappella Dreams
Product Description
The Persuasions have logged some serious miles driving from town to town over the years to deliver their acappella message. To amuse themselves on the road, they sing old favorites: songs they perform in their shows, their own versions of songs of the day, and, of course, the good old stuff they've known since they were kids. Any true Persuasions fan is probably jumping up and down now, screaming "Let me drive!" Sorry, Charlie - insurance regulations, you know. But this disc is the next best thing. It's the good stuff, songs the band has known and jammed on and thought about for many years - over a lot of rough roads. So sit back and let Jerry Lawson take the wheel.
Jerry Lawson comments on some of the tracks: I HAVE A DREAM "A Solomon Burke song. After 9/11, I knew I had to record it." - JL IN THE GHETTO "I believe this song was Elvis' way of giving something back to the black musical community that had given him so much. When I heard him do it, I thought he was reaching out to me." - JL SHE'S A LADY "We've been singing this for as long as we've been the Persuasions." - JL DON'T "One of my favorite Elvis songs. Its lyrics and harmony make for a classic love song." - JL AIN'T NO SUNSHINE "We thought we should do it with a little bit of that Al Green begging kind of vibe - and some Persuasions harmony, of course." - JL DOCK OF THE BAY "Sometimes late at night, the guys in the back seat will fall asleep and that leaves me and Jimmy awake in the front seat, so we'll sing duets. This is one of our favorites." - JL THE CLOCK "Our tribute to the late, great Johnny Ace." - JL PEACE IN THE VALLEY "We just wanted to go back to the source here - to that real ol' time religion. We wanted to sing it straight, like they do in church. If my mama heard it, she could sing along with it." - JL

Correlapaedia - a Correlative Encyclopedia of Pediatric Imaging, Surgery, and Pathology: Case 36
The patient evacuated the barium, and then a tube in the anus was injected. Lateral, two AP and overhead films demonstrate filling through the rectum of a second colon of normal caliber that was again malpositioned. There was no communication between the two colons. The duplication was therefore complete, with both colons running in a parallel fashion.

Doctor's Best - Best Red Yeast Rice with CoQ10 1200 mg - 60 Tablets
Doctors Best Best Red Yeast Rice with CoQ10 contains rice that has been naturally fermented with red yeast (Monascus purpureus) according to traditional methods. Produced domestically, Doctors Best Red Yeast Rice with CoQ10 is similar to red yeast rice that has been used in culinary applications in Asia since at least 800 A.D. Doctors Best Red Yeast Rice with CoQ10 is considered beneficial for adult men and women when taken as part of a lifestyle program that includes regular exercise and a healthy diet.
Can I eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while taking Red Yeast Rice?Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can enhance the effects of Red Yeast Rice and significantly increase blood levels, increasing the risk of side effects and liver damage. Because red yeast rice may act similarly in the body to statins, you should avoid drinking grapefruit juice or eating grapefruit or marmalade while taking red yeast rice.
Can Best Red Yeast Rice be taken before having surgery?Since the active ingredients in Red Yeast Rice may interact with certain medications, it is best to avoid taking this product for at least a few days before having surgery.
Is there any interaction between Red Yeast Rice & Coumadin?There is no known interaction between red yeast rice and coumadin, or any other blood thinner.
I read an article that stated that most of today's Red Yeast Rice supplements contain the mycotoxin citrinin in them as a byproduct of the fermentation process. What assurances are there that citrinin is not in the product that I have purchased?Doctor's Best tests for citrinin. They test in the parts per billion (ppb's) and it comes up non detectable. This is because they utilize a strain that produces extremely low levels of citrinin.
If I'm sensitive to Black Pepper, can I take BioPerine?In very rare instances, only someone will be found to be sensitive to BioPerine. BioPerine is a high purity compound extracted from black pepper and practically devoid other compounds of black pepper, which like safarole, are contributing to the controversy of black pepper being carcinogenic. Piperine is not a carcinogen, and at purity level of minimum 98% (BioPerine) it should not pose any concerns related to black pepper or black pepper extract (see toxicology section in our book on BioPerine). Those people who are allergic to spices, like peppers, ginger, turmeric, should use piperine containing products with caution. The same is true with any allergen, e.g. milk products should be avoided by those allergic to milk. The advice of nutritionists to avoid consumption of black pepper in large quantities does not prevent from obtaining benefits from 5 mg of piperine corresponding to 50 mg of black pepper (9%-10% content in raw black pepper). Especially, that our society is on average consuming daily black pepper related products in an average dose of 15-30 mg (calculated from raw black pepper in various foods) of piperine per day!!! The key for patented mechanism of piperine is to be "at the right time at the right place". In other words, to do the job of "nutritionist on call" and disappear.
I have heard that black pepper causes Prostate problems, will BioPerine do the same?BioPerine is an extract of black pepper. Used in supplements, the quantity ingested is very small. We usually use 1.5 to 5.0 mg per capsule or tablet. Limited studies indicate that Bioperine taken in very large amounts – in the order of magnitude of grams per day (there are 1000 mg in one gram), could lead to intestinal irritation in people sensitive to black pepper. I do not know of any studies suggesting that Bioperine taken in tiny amounts are detrimental to men suffering from prostate conditions.
How long would it take for a TABLET to dissolve?FDA Rules & Regulations require tablets to dissolve in 45 minutes or less. However, Doctor's Best has made the requirement to be that tablets must dissolve in 30 minutes or less. Every lot of every tableted product is tested to verify that it dissolves in under 30 minutes.
I am somewhat confused on how to take the DRB products. On many of the labels the Suggested Adult Use will list something along the lines of: Take 2 capsules daily, but it does not state whether they should be taken together or separately. What is the correct usage?Unless otherwise specified on the label, the product may be taken together or separately.
Is there a limit to how many vitamins can be taken safely in one day?While our bodies need vitamins and minerals, like other things, if taken in large amounts they may adversely affect health. Large amounts of anything can be toxic. It is important to follow all label directions and discuss any concerns with your physician.
What are the other ingredients and why are they used?These are used as flow agents and aid in the production to keep the machinery running smoothly and the capsules filling correctly. Similarly for the croscarmellose sodium, which is cellulose (sourced from the cell walls of green plants), and is used to help disintegrate the tablet in the stomach.
What is the croscarmellose sodium excipient that is found in several of the Doctor's Best products?Croscarmellose sodium is a commonly used excipient in tablets. It is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry as a "disintegrant," which means it helps tablets break apart in the stomach. In simple terms, croscarmellose sodium is made of cellulose gum with a very small amount of sodium. The sodium content is less than a half a percent (less than 0.5%). (Technically speaking, croscarmellose sodium is defined as "a cross-linked polymer of carboxymethylcellulose sodium.") Croscarmellose sodium is recognized as being essentially non-toxic and non-irritating. Cellulose is a non-digestible fiber, which means the tiny amount in tablets passes through the gut without being broken down or absorbed. As far as adding to anyone's dietary sodium intake, the amount is too small to be of any consequence (Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, 2nd Ed. American Pharmaceutical Assoc).
What is Silicon Dioxide and how is it produced?Silicon dioxide is the most abundant mineral in the Earth's crust, and it is found across the world in various forms. Silicon dioxide (SiO2) in its pure form is colorless to white. Precipitated synthetic amorphous silicas are obtained from a process essentially using sand. Precipitated silica is a safe (non-crystalline) mineral. According to the relevant United States and European Union standards, precipitated silica is non-hazardous with regard to manufacture, transportation and handling. Precipitated silica is an inert powder and a certified food and feed additive.
Should I be concerned when I see that Silicon Dioxide has been used as an excipient in DRB products?According to numerous studies reviewed to date on this long-term Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) listed food additive, the following was found: The oral toxicity in mice is greater than (>) 5 grams/kilogram of body weight (Kimmerle 1968), or greater than 350 grams in one dose in humans based on allometric comparisons between mice and humans. A single dose of 2.5 grams of amorphous polymeric silicon dioxide to human volunteers did not significantly raise the SiO2 excretion in the urine thus suggesting poor absorption of the compound (silicon dioxide)--(Langendorf 1966). Less than one one-hundredth (1000th) of the dose was found in urine, suggesting extremely poor absorption--(Langendorf 1966). This would suggest that there is no scientific reason to eliminate silicon dioxide as an excipient at the very low levels found in dietary supplements.
Why is silicon dioxide used as an excipient in DRB products?Silicon Dioxide is commonly used as a flow agent in supplements. It also works as an anti-caking agent, and is added as an ingredient in foods, many multivitamins and mineral supplements because silicon is necessary for good health and is a necessary nutrient for the health of skin, hair, nails and bones.
It seems that information is now out claiming that magnesium stearate is a form of, or implicated in, trans fat, which everyone now regards as being bad. Why does Doctor's Best use magnesium stearate in its products?Magnesium Stearate is used to work as a lubricant in the formula. Magnesium Stearate is a salt of stearic acid. Stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid. A trans fatty acid (commonly shortened to trans fat) is an unsaturated fatty acid molecule. Stearic acid, being a saturated fatty acid, is not a trans fat. The magnesium stearate used in Doctor's Best products is vegetable sourced from palm oil.
What is the source of the cellulose found in the some of the Doctor's Best products?The cellulose is made from alpha cellulose from softwood pulp. This softwood pulp may be derived from hemlock, Spruce or other soft woods.
What is the source of the croscarmellose sodium found in the some of the Doctor's Best products?It comes from pulp (cotton). It is non-GMO (genetically modified organism).
What is HPLC?HPLC stands for "High Performance Liquid Chromatography." This is an analytical lab testing method that is used to quantify the active ingredients. It is considered to be a very sensitive and accurate test. HPLC testing is a tool recognized as a quality benchmark for herbal extracts.
Does cellulose interfere with the absorption of supplements?Dietary fiber in general is known to change intestinal viscosity, nutrient absorption, transit time, and gut hormones. Although there is some evidence from animal studies that large amounts of cellulose in the diet (6-12% of diet) can interfere with nutrient absorption (particularly minerals), there is no evidence that the small amount in capsules interfere with nutrient absorption, as there are many pharmacokinetic studies that have been conducted with nutrients in cellulose capsules, demonstrating the ability of the nutrients to be effectively absorbed.
What is the maximum dosage for BioPerine?Black pepper has been consumed safely for thousands of years and has been deemed GRAS (generally recognized as safe) by the FDA for the intended use as a spice. However, there are limited toxicology studies on black pepper and/or black pepper extract and limited human clinical studies as well. Therefore, it is difficult to determine an "upper limit" and none has been suggested.
Why is there a soy warning on Best Red Yeast Rice?Soy flour is used in manufacturing to process the material.
Do not use this product if you are pregnant or nursing; can become pregnant; if you are under age 20; have liver disease; consume more than two alcoholic drinks per day; are allergic to soy or rice; have had major surgery or organ transplant surgery within the past six weeks. Discontinue use immediately if muscle pain and tenderness or flu-like symptoms occur. If you are taking prescription medications, consult a physician before taking this product.

A national (US) study of social media usage by market research firm Chadwick Martin Bailey and iModerate Research Technologies was conducted in February 2010 with the goal of learning more about why people become fans of company pages on Facebook or followers of brands on Twitter. Researchers wanted to know if these activities changed their behavior towards the brands themselves. A survey was conducted of 1,504 adults (ages 18 and up) between February 8, 2010 and February 9, 2010 by Chadwick Martin Bailey, and iModerate Research Technologies held individual interviews to better understand participants' behaviors.
The study revealed that "60% of Facebook fans and 79% of Twitter followers are more likely to recommend those brands since becoming a fan or follower. And an impressive 51% of Facebook fans and 67% of Twitter followers are more likely to buy the brands they follow or are a fan of".
While these numbers may not shock most of us involved heavily in social media, it should serve as a heavy handed reminder that consumers are beginning to EXPECT that companies have a presence. They want to be able to reference your product in a recommendation and link right to it. Take this example, from Twitter:
Burts Bees is a popular lip balm brand who until recently did not have official social media presences. They actually just launched their Twitter page on March 23rd 2010 (and seven days later have 235 fans). Check out these two tweets (below).
Both of these girls are spreading brand awareness for Burts Bees and recommending them for the use of chapped lips. Countless studies have shown that people trust peer reviews more than advertising, but there is no link to Burts Bees website or a store to buy or anything. Now that they are on Twitter, fans and followers can reference the lip balm maker easily and enable other users to easily access the official site – which leads to all of the goodies that come with an official page – advertising, info, and connecting directly with your consumer. They can also monitor whats being said about them. Check out this tweet:
This fan not only has provided a link to the official Burts Bees twitter, but even posted a picture of himself holding up the product! Talk about an endorsement! But along with the brand ambassador creating power Twitter gives you, it also requires work on your part. You must respond to and engage your fans. Thank them, give them public acknowledgement, show them you care. Burts Bees may have just joined Twitter but they are already elbow deep in the community that they want to create around their products. Check out some of THEIR tweets:
In the three Burts Bees tweets above you see that first they acknowledge the user with thanks and then they credit them with a RT (retweet) – which is usually a glowing testimonial to their products! These "followers" not only love the products and recommend them to others, but they are PROUD to do so! These are the kind of marketing opportunities that your ad department DREAMS of.
A similar story plays out on Facebook where I (a big Burt's Bees fan myself) found their official Facebook Fan Page when I saw an ad for Chapstick's Fan Page and thought if THEY were online then Burt's Bees must be too, so I searched for them and found them! And I'm not the only who did that! Just check out this comment (right) I left on their Facebook Fan Page on February 15, 2010 – 10 people did the same thing I did! People WANT to connect with brands they feel strongly about and WANT to share this with their friends.
Another great element to social media is being able to address issues and concerns immediately as they occur. In this post by a Facebook user we see that they are disappointed in the parent company of Burt's Bees. A Burt's Bees representative can quickly move in and correct or add information to educate consumers. Notice they did not just delete the negative comment. This adds transparency and builds trust among consumers. They have nothing to hide and are willing to address any concerns users might have.
Feedback can also result in new product ideas or spreading news about your other products. Until I visited their Facebook Fan Page I didn't know that Burt's Bees made makeup. One user requested pet shampoo. The user to the right expressed a product design improvement – which Brand reps jumped all over. Customer Service is huge and builds loyalty.
If you as a consumer know that your voice is heard, that your business matters to a company, you tend to go back there – and tell your friends to do the same. Take advantage of the ready built social media worlds in Twitter and Facebook and engage in the discussion with your consumers. It'll pay off!
