The W1 SOTA area manager, Tom N2YTF and VE2 area manager, Jean-Pierre VA2SG, along with the help of W2 Area Manager Andrew, KC2EUS and W6 Area Manager Stuart, KI6MWN are setting up a multi areas multi activation day in North america on november 14th 2009.
For this occasion, At least 4 VE2 summits should be on the air on various frequencies and modes. At the same time, some of the W1, W2 and W6 area mountains should be activated, the number of summits in these 3 areas is not known at the moment. But there's should be some.
More confirmation should appear in the SOTAwatch alerts section. We all hope the WX will be favorable to this late fall North american multi summits activation day.
We hope this will allow all chasers in Europe as well as in North america to get some "rares" summits confirmations. This will be a big chance for you to catch some NA summits.
Winter is getting close and, despite being adventurers, NA SOTA activators dont like being bitten by the cold...
So stay tuned and keep ur ears opened for NA SOTA activators, this coming november 14th.
Tom and Jean-Pierre
N2YTF and VA2SG

I think this is an excellent idea that will not only maximise the chance for S2S activations in North America but also S2S from North America to the rest of the world. Will there be mention of this in the ARRL news? Sean M0GIA

Can you do this Stuart? I am not very good in english.
I sent to QRZ news section the announcement. Should be in front page of QRZ.com tomorrow.

Very true. You cannot have enough publicity. Even here, where there has been over seven years of continuous publicity, I still meet the occasional amateur who has not heard of SOTA.

|In reply to VA2SG:
Surely, JP. I am working on an article for the NAQCC newsletter now. I will send you and Tom a copy this morning to review and amend. I will submit the final draft to Amateur Radio Newsline and the ARRL Weekly Letter. If anyone thinks of another outlet, please suggest.

I sent my group email to Stan, WA1LOU (ARRL guy who wrote about SOTA on the ARRL webpage a while back) when it went to the rest of the bunch in the states, No reply yet.

Jamie gets a surprise when she is asked to spend the afternoon with Mikey, and she makes a new friend.
Mikey simply returned a cheesy smile, albeit a slightly apologetic one. 'Do you care what they think?' He asked bluntly. 'Or do you just like a nice, clean, shiny locker?' He winked at me.
'I would just prefer not to have the adjective pinned to me anymore than it already is,' I answered honestly, sighing at the prospect of never getting it off.
'Why don't you just tell the teachers about it? I'm sure they'll be able to get it off.'
'I would, except it's not the first time this has happened. I don't want to get sent to the school counselor or whatever, and they made it sound like that's what would happen if it ever happened again.'
A look of comprehension dawned on Mikey's face. 'So why do they choose to slap you with that particular insult so frequently anyway?'
I could tell he was just trying to sound mildly curious, even though he really wanted to know.
I shrugged and decided to be honest with him. 'Because I don't really conform to society's double standards I suppose.' He didn't say anything. 'Look, I don't walk around looking to get into bed with guys, I just don't often refuse to.'
'Why?' He wasn't being rude. He didn't even seem to be frowning. I wondered if he was secretly judging me, and just wasn't really letting it on. Or if he was wondering if he could get me to sleep with him. But his face seemed innocent. And there was an emotion I couldn't discern; concern, maybe?
'Because I enjoy sex.' I replied simply. His response surprised me. He shrugged as if to say 'fair enough' and continued on with a new subject matter. It wasn't the slightest bit awkward. I wondered if he would feel differently the next day, if he would avoid me. But I supposed I would just have to wait and see tomorrow.
In case you're wondering, nothing had changed. The next morning Mikey flopped himself right next to me in English. He didn't look at me funny, or recoil from me for fear of catching some kind of 'whore disease,' as the jocks put it, and I was beginning to like Mikey even more for it. It seemed, for the first time in my life, I hadn't been judged. I wondered if he'd be so relaxed if I took him to my house and showed him my mom passed out on the couch. I mentally scolded myself. This guy was being perfectly nice to me, and I was thinking about all the ways in which I could alienate him. I concluded that I should be grateful he even wanted to be my friend, and make the most of it. This was senior year; how much longer would I know him for? It wasn't like we'd been friends long enough for him to wanna keep being friends after graduation.
As my mind was in overload processing all this information, Mikey very suddenly turned to me, an eager look on his face. 'Wanna hang out after school? I'm picking up my friend, Frank. We were gonna go to Newark for the afternoon, maybe see a movie, hang in Branch Brook park.'
I sat, staring at him, speechless. I had thought our friendship was superficial, a way to amuse ourselves until graduation came around. That wasn't to say I didn't like him a lot, but I hadn't been so sure that he'd liked me. He wanted to spend time with me. And not to have sex with me. To do 'friend things' I supposed, seeing as his friend Frank would be coming. What did friends do? I wasn't quite sure. I spluttered out an incoherent yes, while he smiled at me, like he knew that I wasn't often invited anywhere.
I didn't know what to do with my hands while Mikey drove through the streets of Arlington. I had never been in a car with a friend. I felt socially inept, totally unprepared for hanging out with anyone, but Mikey was relaxed and carefree which seemingly calmed me down a bit. Mikey's friend Frank went to a Catholic school in North Arlington called Queen of Peace High School, apparently. Mikey told me Frank was a year younger than him, a total troublemaker, and a lot of fun. He also told me that Frank liked punk rock music, and that his favorite band was Black Flag. This got us talking about our favorite music and I laughed as Mikey told me about his guilty pleasure; Journey. I felt as if I had never laughed before this car trip. Mikey was so easy to talk to, and so funny. Sometimes during the journey, we sat in silence, but not uncomfortably. He didn't speak unless he had something interesting to say, and he got straight to the point. He didn't smile or laugh unless he genuinely felt the need. Mikey was real. Which I think is what we had most in common.
When he pulled up in front of the school, I looked at the structure in awe. It was located alongside a church of the same name, and I couldn't help but wonder if I would be different if I had gone to a Catholic school. Would I be a better person? Would I feel differently about sex? I shook my head to rid myself of these thoughts. I never would have been sent to a Catholic school. My mom would have considered it a waste of money. I didn't believe in God anyway. My mom was proof alone that there wasn't one. I turned to Mikey and realized he had been speaking to me. He was frowning.
'Huh? Sorry, I was just checking out the place. Zoned out.'
He grimaced skeptically. 'Are you okay?'
'Uh huh, yep.' I replied hastily.
Mikey nodded, but his eyes were still narrowed. 'Well, as I was saying, that's him.' He pointed at a boy who had just passed out through the school gates.
Frank Iero was just over five feet tall. He walked with his hands in his pockets, a crooked, closed-mouth grin on his face. His complexion was slightly olive. With a name like Frank, I guessed he was Italian. I found out later that I was right. He had a mop of messy black hair on his head and his hazel eyes were bright, dancing in the afternoon sunlight. The kid looked like he didn't have a care in the world. I was jealous of that. He approached the front passenger side, and upon noticing my presence, retreated to the back seat, a slightly surprised look on his face.
'Drive, quick.' He said immediately, upon throwing his bag in the back seat and falling into the car. 'Mr Ingham caught me pissing on the oval 'cause the line in the men's was too long.'
Mikey sighed and shook his head. 'When will you learn?'
'Hey!' Frank's voice took on a defensive tone. 'The human body is a beautiful thing!'
Mikey snorted. 'Idiot.'
Frank grinned cheekily at me as I laughed. 'And who would you be?'
'Frank, this is Jamie.' Mikey said as he pulled away from the curb.
'Ah, English girl. Good to finally meet you.' He looked like he meant it.
'You know who I am?' I asked.
'Of course,' Frank smiled. 'You're Mikey's only friend in that dump so he talks about you a lot.'
'Oh,' was all I could reply with. I couldn't believe he actually told people about me.
'Hey, I have friends,' Mikey argued fervently as he turned a corner.
'The guy who flicks spitballs at you in History doesn't count, Mikes.'
I had a feeling my afternoon was going to be the most fun I'd had in a long time.
'I'm just saying,' Frank said as we stomped through the snow Branch Brook Park, blowing cigarette smoke into the dusk air. 'There had to have been a better movie than 'Phantoms.''
Mikey made a face that bordered amused and frustrated.
'I mean, we ask you to go buy tickets to something while we get popcorn. I thought you quite capable of film choice, but now I'm starting to think I was wrong.'
Mikey looked like he was going to speak -
'I mean, all I'm saying is, Ben Affleck? In a horror film? Really?'
'Frank – '
'Didn't you learn from 'Glory Daze?' We made a grave mistake when we saw that movie. We also made a grave mistake when we saw this one. Common denominator? Ben Affleck! Don't you learn from your mistakes, Michael?! Don't you learn?!'
'Sorry Frank. Next time, I'll make sure we see the Spice Girls movie instead,' Mikey retorted.
'Yeah, well…' Frank trailed off looking like he wasn't sure which film was worse.
On the car ride home, Frank turned to me. 'I like you. I think we're gonna keep you.'
I had been pretty quiet all afternoon. Frank's overpowering personality had sent me into shyness overdrive. I had thought he would think I was weird. The truth was, I just liked the company, regardless of whether I opened my mouth or not.
'What do you think, Mikey?' Frank turned in the front seat, which he had shotgunned, to ask his friend.
'Yeah, I think so too.' Mikey smiled.
'You remind me of him a bit, you know,' Frank said to me, as he jerked a thumb at Mikey.
'You're both quiet. But I can tell you're smart, and a good person, you know? You only really talk when you think you've got something to say. You don't talk just to make sounds, unlike the rest of us.' He grinned sheepishly.
Mikey pulled up to the curb in front of a little house. We were back in Belleville already. I couldn't believe how the car ride had flown. Frank turned to Mikey. 'I'll call you tomorrow. Comic book store on Wednesday, yeah?'
'Always,' Mikey grinned.
'Cool. See you.' Frank lugged his school bag out of the car and turned to me. 'I'll see you again soon, right?'
I nodded, smiling. 'Yeah.'
He smiled kindly back, and turned and walked into his house. I got out of the back seat and into the front alongside Mikey.
'So, what did you think of Tornado Iero?' Mikey asked, grinning.
'He's great,' I genuinely couldn't wipe the smile off my face. 'So are you. Thank you.'
Mikey lightly patted me on the leg and smiled, proceeding to drive me home. I was the happiest I think I'd ever been.
That happiness was short-lived. I walked in through the front door of my house, wiping my feet on the doormat outside to rid myself of excess snow. I could hear the television on an unnecessarily loud volume in the kitchen, and smell something burning. I sneaked towards the stairs as quietly as possible.
'Where've you been?' A voice slurred behind me.
'With friends. I was going to call you but then I thought I shouldn't disturb you at work.'
'Friends?' My mother scoffed at the word. Jamie? Friends? And pigs could fly too now, huh?
'Okay, what were you really doing, Jamie?' She thought I was lying.
'I just told you.'
'You don't have friends. So what were you really doing? Buying drugs?'
'Ma, I've never taken illegal drugs in my life.'
'Or maybe,' she continued ranting, as if she hadn't heard me. 'You were off fucking some guy off the football team?' By this point, my mouth was gaping. 'Don't think I don't hear about what you do when I'm not home, Jamie. Some kids actually talk to their parents you know. They tell them about Jamie Gunn, the slut from school. And those parents, they come to me, expressing "concern" for my child's wellbeing.'
I could tell my face was blank. I was too shocked to even be able to process the information and translate it into a facial expression. 'So, do they pay you Jamie?' My mother taunted. 'You may as well get paid for it, I'm sure they'd be willing.'
'Ma –'
'SHUT THE FUCK UP!' She screamed, pointing an accusatory finger at me. 'I DO THE BEST I CAN TO RAISE MY DAUGHTER, ALL BY MYSELF BECAUSE HER FATHER HAD BETTER THINGS TO DO, AND THIS IS WHAT I GET? A WHORE?!'
I couldn't even answer her. That only seemed to further madden her. She stumbled over the kitchen stove, yanked a saucepan off the hot plate, and tossed the contents of it at me. It burned my arms and chest so my eyes watered. My skin was screaming, but still, I couldn't move.
'Here, I made you some fucking soup,' she sneered. 'Now get out of my house.'
The Belleville Coffee Shop was toasty warm and empty, as usual. I didn't like it. I felt as though I would feel better if I were doused in ice. The burns underneath my hoodie stung, and the elderly lady brought me coffee without my even asking. I was so preoccupied with my own misery, that I almost didn't notice my favorite dark headed stranger, looking curiously at my pained face across the shop. When our eyes met, he instantaneously looked down, his hand and pencil moving furiously over the page of his sketchbook. I decided to get up and inspect my burns in the bathroom while I waited for my coffee to cool down.
When I entered the bathroom, I was mortified at what I saw. First and second degree burns covered my chest up to my collarbones, the skin red and tender. I knew it was going to blister, and recoiled from my own reflection in disgust. My eyes travelled from my body up to my face. It was obvious I had been crying. My blue eyes were tainted with red from tears and lack of sleep, and my black, tangled hair was a mess. As I looked at myself, I had to force myself not to burst into tears again. My eye makeup was already smudged as it were, and there were faint tear tracks along my cheeks. I dabbed some water over my face and onto my burns, wincing at the stinging sensation.
Deciding my reflection was as good as it could possibly look under the circumstances, I left the bathroom and returned to my table to drink my coffee. I had left my notebook open on the table, as distracted as I had been with the state of my body, but on top of the pages sat a loose leaf of sketch paper. Drawn on this paper was a portrait. A girl, black haired, blue eyed, her long hair blowing in the wind stared back at me from the page. I did not recognize her by these features, but by the sadness in her eyes. It was me. Although she looked lost and unhappy, she was still beautiful. I didn't have to guess to know who had drawn this. Did he really see me this way? Beautiful, but broken? I looked up towards his table to thank him for the picture. He was gone.
I fucked some guy on the park bench in Belleville Park that night, the portrait sitting, carefully preserved between the pages of my notebook. If I had been alone, I would have been clinging to it as if it were my only friend.

Now, I have plenty of fetishes centred around femdom, and I was just wondering what you guys think about verbal humiliation?
I think there is nothing better than having a young, perfect young dominatrix ridiculing a balding fat bastard while he is on his knees in front of her.
I've never personally experienced verbal humiliation but I certainly am turned on by watching it.
The fact that a pathetic slave will give money to be shouted at and ridiculed by a sexy young lady...fantastique!
My personal favourites are when the mistress (in boots of course) stands above a slave and tells me to do press ups at her fight while she counts and tells him how fast, when and how many. Kissing her boot everytime he lowers himself.

Buying Bernanke's Breakouts
Declan is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
It didn't take long for market losses generated by the Ben Bernanke breakdown to be surpassed in the days following the long July weekend. However, the number of NYSE stocks making new 52-week highs is running well below the prior rally, going from 800 new 52-week highs a day in May to sub-600 in July -- not exactly a swinging endorsement on the part of buyers. No new highs means no new buyers - a warning sign for market participants.
However, buying opportunities exist for the astute:
Gassing for gains
Atlas Pipeline (NYSE: APL) was one of my earliest featured stocks and a former portfolio holding. The stock endured a bit of crisis during the May-June selloff, where it lost 13.8% from peak-to-trough. However, the high dividend yield (just shy of 6% at time of writing) helped bring the buyers back. It's also looking at a full year distribution of $2.50 and $2.60 a share, which should comfortably see it offer a 6% return.
On the negative front, it carries a relatively high equity/debt load when compared to comparable sized companies like Spectra Energy Partners or Regency Energy Partners. However, the company has offset 2018 notes at 8.75%, with $650 million of notes which mature in 2023 at 5.875%: an amount which is half of its long term debt value. Even so, the company is expecting borrowing costs to increase for 2013, which will have a negative impact on earnings.
Earnings were up 6% to Q4 2012, but it's trading rich at its current P/E, and with a forward P/E of 17.5 it's not exactly a bargain. This leaves it vulnerable to downside earnings surprises - a feat it has managed in the last three quarters. Borrowing expenses for the remainder of the year is likely to increase this streak, but it should be okay as long as it can maintain or increase distribution payments. The best driver for the company is going to be rising natural gas prices. With the company converting to fee based and percent-of-proceeds contracts, it will be better able to leverage this rise. And after a lengthy spell in the doldrums, natural gas prices appear to have found their bottom at $2.00/MMBtu.
Profit shots
Beam (NYSE: BEAM) has the meanest dividend of the three stocks we are discussing, and is the one furthest from its 52-week high. I first featured the stock in February as it looked to U.S. and emerging markets to drive its 2013 earnings story.
The current earnings year opened brightly with a 3% rise in comparable sales to add to the 13% achieved in Q1 of 2012, its weakest quarter. North America again delivered strong growth with a 7% rise in comparable sales: increasing margins on the back of savings in raw materials and higher product pricing. Its premium Maker's Mark brand coming ahead of expectations in sales. The net effect was to deliver a 21% gain in EPS on top of the 29% achieved in 2012. Ironically, the furor over the (non-)proof change in Maker's Mark led to a 44% increase in comparable Q1 sales! Rival Diageo delivered 6% growth in the U.S. with spirits the "key driver" in this market. Diageo too raised prices, which points to the robustness of the liquor market.
The company was cooler on its emerging market story with Russia, Mexico and Eastern Europe doing the leg work as China and Brazil slowed and India declined. Price increases were also implemented in these markets which were supported by rival price hikes.
Government payout
Electro Rent Corp (NASDAQ: ELRC) was offered as an income player but has performed nicely as a growth stock: mixing new multi-years price highs with a 4% yield.
The erratic earnings history hasn't helped, outperforming when expected to underperform and vice versa. In the most recent quarter the company fell shy of analyst estimates, although it generated a 7.6% year-on-year rise in revenues and a 12.2% rise in equipment sales. Government commitments were hit by the wind down in Afghanistan and Iraq before the sequester kicked in - so earnings pressures remain.
The company runs a fairly even split between rental and sales, with the rental and leasing market up 5.3% and 3.4% respectively. The rental side of the business is becoming a larger portion of the income story which has helped slow the slide in gross margins as impacts of discount pricing (on sales) are reduced:
ELRC Gross Profit Margin Quarterly data by YCharts
With the exception of Electro Rent, these are stocks that haven't yet challenged 52-week highs. Even Electro Rent has only recently started to clear its last high made in March. The story for each company remains favorable, with strong long-term trends to help; be it stabilizing natural gas prices, or a consumer immune to price hikes, the outlook remains favorable.

Our faculty help arrange and oversee internships and shadowing opportunities at locations such as Eastman, Delray/Crown Labs, and Mountain States Health Alliance. Students can also gain valuable experience as lab assistants in the science courses.
Small classes and one-on-one personal attention from professors provide an excellent education and a close-knit community of student and faculty scholars. Milligan's science and math faculty have doctoral degrees from Tennessee, UCLA, Michigan State, Iowa State, and Penn State. They are recognized and published scholars, and most importantly, they are excellent teachers and caring mentors.
Facilities & Equipment
The Science Building is devoted to biological, physical, and chemical sciences at Milligan. It contains five 24-station labs, multiple classrooms, and a gross anatomy lab. Chemistry instrumentation includes a Buck Model 500 Infrared Spectrophotometer, Libra S32-PC Ultraviolet-Visible Spectrophotometer, and Agilent Model 1120 Compact High Performance Liquid Chromatography.
Real Science
We take science seriously, but we enjoy learning and we like our students to experience science on many levels. Hands-on learning is provided in every area, from building a trebuchet in math modeling class, to annual science trips to the Outer Banks, the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., the national parks, and local field studies throughout the Southern Appalachians, an area rich in bio-diversity and beauty. Explore and enjoy nature through courses in birdwatching, ecology, flora and fauna of the Appalachians.
Successful Graduates
Graduates are working in biomedical and biological sciences, education, industry, engineering, healthcare, research, and government services, including the FBI, DEA, and CDC. Our graduates perform very competitively in post-baccalaureate programs (such as medical, dental, pharmacy, and other graduate schools) throughout the country. Many are serving as physicians and medical missionaries throughout the world.

NORFOLK -- Two students were held up on Bluestone Ave. near the ODU campus on April 16th, around 1:30 a.m.
Police say four men stole wallets from the students, before driving off from the scene.
The students were not hurt in the incident, but it's another setback in the University's struggle to keep the campus safe.
Police say after the robbery, the four suspects ran to a four-door, silver Mercedes Benz.
Later that morning, one of the victim's credit cards was used at several locations in Norfolk. Police obtained videos that show three of the suspects using the stolen card.
The videos also captured the car, which police have identified as a 2005 to 2007 Mercedes Benz C240 or C280. The car is silver.
If you have any information, Norfolk Police ask that you the Crime Line at 1-88-LOCK-U-UP.

Curb Records has set January 24 as the release date of Tim McGraw's latest and long-awaited album, "Emotional Traffic."
McGraw again collaborated with Bryon Gallimore, his longtime producer who has helped McGraw record 32 No. 1 singles and sell 44 million units of music.
The new 12-track set contains McGraw's latest No. 1 single, "Felt Good On My Lips," already certified digital gold.
His current single, "Better Than I Used To Be," is now climbing the charts.
The track listing for Emotional Traffic is as follows:
1. Halo
2. Right Back Actha Babe
3. One Part, Two Part
4. I Will Not Fall Down
5. The One
6. Better Than I Used To Be
7. Touchdown Jesus
8. The One That Got Away
9. Felt Good On My Lips
10. Hey Now
11. Only Human
12. Die By My Own Hand
This will be McGraw's last album with Curb Records. On May 13, 2011, Curb Records filed a breach-of-contract suit against McGraw, alleging that McGraw recorded tracks for the album too early prior to its delivery to the label. Several days later, McGraw filed a counter suit against the label seeking advance payment and recording-fund reimbursement, unspecified damages, and a jury trial. In November 2011, a judge granted McGraw permission to record music for another label, ending his relationship with Curb Records that began in 1990.

To the Editor: Many thanks to Drs. Simon and Gutheil for their informative discussion of suicidal inpatients who suddenly improve (1). It is evident that the authors began with an unstated assumption that all patients hospitalized because of suicidal thinking, threats, or behaviors are, in fact, suicidal. As any emergency psychiatrist is aware, many people feign suicidality in order to gain admission to a hospital for a reason other than the need for mental health treatment. These individuals, often malingering, seek shelter or the avoidance of adverse consequences of homelessness or malfeasance. Such patients "fake bad" in the emergency department in order to gain hospitalization, in contrast to the patients described by Drs. Simon and Gutheil, who can be considered to be "faking good" later in their hospitalizations.
Such a dynamic, familiar to all clinicians who cover busy emergency departments, complicates decisions that must be made regarding the discharge of patients admitted with suicidal thoughts or behaviors who subsequently improve.

Plants Food & Health Cluster
Welcome to the NEW Plants; Food & Health Cluster
To establish a network of people interested in the development of plants and plant natural products to enhance health.
Who Attends?
This cluster will be of interest to agri-biotech companies developing plant derived products beneficial to health and those with an interest in enhancing nutrition through diet and plant derived natural products. It will also interest those agencies concerned with giving dietary advice.
Compounds derived from plants have been shown to enhance human health. Advances in plant science means that we can now produce plants with enhanced levels of these beneficial components. This will lead to new products entering the market.
In this cluster we will work with industrial and academic partners to discuss how these new technologies can be used to generate novel foods to benefit health.
Areas of particular interest will be cardio vascular disease, cancer, alzheimers and mental decline in the elderly and folate supplementation.
Skills Base:
Meetings will be held regularly and will be focussed on how potential novel foods will address specific chronic diseases.
Meeting/Event Proceedings:
Cluster Meeting/Event proceedings will be available on the secure FHN Members' only area of the website: fhnetwork.wikispaces.com

WASHINGTON Senators from both parties pressed President Barack Obama's top Cabinet officers Tuesday to provide guarantees that no U.S. troops would be sent to Syria after an initial strike in a sign of the potential political pitfalls and widespread public skittishness over even a limited retaliatory attack.
While Obama gained a key supporter in House Speaker John Boehner for responding militarily to the use of chemical weapons in Syria two weeks ago, a contentious Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing showed how much work remains for him to close the deal and gain congressional authorization for the high-risk move.
The most spirited exchange came toward the end of the 31/2-hour hearing when Secretary of State John Kerry and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., clashed over the purpose and possible consequences of a U.S. military strike against Syrian President Bashar Assad.
"I don't know that we can say that by attacking them, he's not going to launch another chemical attack," Paul said.
Paul ticked off several risks, among them assaults on Israel, increased Russian involvement in the Middle East and more aggressive behavior by Iran.
"There are all kinds of unknowns that I can't tell you absolutely the answer, and neither can you," Paul told Kerry. "But I think there's a reasonable argument that the world may be less stable because of this, and that it may not deter another chemical weapons attack."
An angered Kerry turned the tables, asking Paul: "If the United States of America doesn't do this, senator, is it more or less likely that Assad does it again? You want to answer that question?"
When Paul said twice the answer was unknown, Kerry snapped: "It's unknown, senator? Senator, it's not unknown. If the United States of America doesn't hold him accountable on this, with our allies and friends, it's a guarantee Assad will do it again. A guarantee. And I urge you to go to the classified briefing (Wednesday) and learn that."
Kerry plans to brief senators in a private session Wednesday where he presumably will talk in more detail about classified information.
Early Tuesday night, Sen. Robert Menendez, the New Jersey Democrat who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, announced that he and the panel's ranking Republican, Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, had reached an agreement on the Senate text for authorization of force against Syria.
The resolution permits up to 60 days of military action against Assad and gives Obama the option to extend military operations by 30 days, providing Obama "determines and certifies to Congress"' within five days before the end of the initial authorization that more force is needed.
'Boots on the ground'?
Earlier in the open hearing, Kerry stirred controversy when he initially refused to rule out the possibility of sending any U.S. troops to Syria in the aftermath of an American strike that would likely be delivered by Tomahawk cruise missiles from Navy destroyers off its coast.
Asked by Menendez whether a congressional resolution authorizing military action should contain "a prohibition for having American boots on the ground," Kerry responded: "Mr. Chairman, it would be preferable not to have a prohibition, not because there is any intention or plan or any desire whatsoever to have boots on the ground."
After saying that Obama will provide "every assurance in the world" that no troops would be used, Kerry sketched a scenario in which they might.
"But in the event Syria imploded, for instance, or in the event there was a threat of a chemical weapons cache falling into the hands of al-Nusra (an al-Qaida-linked group in Syria) or someone else, and it was clearly in the interest of our allies and all of us – the British, the French and others – to prevent those weapons of mass destruction falling into the hands of the worst elements, I don't want to take off the table an option that might or might not be available to the president of the United States to secure our country."
Kerry's lengthy scenario drew rebukes from Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, the committee's senior Republican, and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., as well as a gentler response from Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M.
By the end, Kerry had backed off his original stance and said the congressional resolution could contain an explicit prohibition against follow-on U.S. troops in Syria, though he continued to acknowledge that down the road their presence couldn't be absolutely ruled out.
Support from Boehner
At a White House session before the Senate hearing, Obama picked up a key supporter when Boehner, R-Ohio, told reporters that he supports the president's desire to launch a limited strike at Syria in retaliation for the alleged use of chemical weapons two weeks ago.
"I'm going to support the president's call for action, and I believe my colleagues should support this call for action," Boehner said after meeting with Obama.
Assad has repeatedly denied responsibility for the Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack that killed hundreds of people in a Damascus suburb. Obama, Kerry and other top U.S. officials say the evidence of Assad's involvement is indisputable.
Obama said Tuesday that any military action against war-torn Syria would not involve "boots on the ground."
"This is not Iraq, and this is not Afghanistan," Obama said. "This is a limited, proportional step that will send a clear message not only to the Assad regime – but also to other countries that may be interested in testing some of these international norms – that there are consequences."

Researcher Urges Scientists To Stop Emphasizing The Shortcomings Of People With Autism
We must stop considering the different brain structure of autistic individuals to be a deficiency, as research reveals that many autistic people – not just "savants" – have qualities and abilities that may exceed those of people who do not have the condition, according to a provocative article published today in Nature by Dr. Laurent Mottron at the University of Montreal's Centre for Excellence in Pervasive Development Disorders.
Mystery Ingredient In Coffee Boosts Protection Against Alzheimer's Disease
A yet unidentified component of coffee interacts with the beverage's caffeine, which could be a surprising reason why daily coffee intake protects against Alzheimer's disease. A new Alzheimer's disease mouse study by researchers at the University of South Florida found that this interaction boosts blood levels of a critical growth factor that seems to fight off the Alzheimer's disease process.
New Neuroscientific Evidence For Benefits Of Spaced Versus Massed Learning
Scientists and educators alike have long known that cramming is not an effective way to remember things. With their latest findings, researchers at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan, studying eye movement response in trained mice, have elucidated the neurological mechanism explaining why this is so. Published in the Journal of Neuroscience, their results suggest that protein synthesis in the cerebellum plays a key role in memory consolidation, shedding light on the fundamental neurological processes governing how we remember.
Childhood Trauma Linked To Higher Rates Of Mental Health Problems And Potential Misdiagnosis Of PTSD
New research has shown that children's risk for learning and behavior problems and obesity rises in correlation to their level of trauma exposure, says the psychiatrist at the Stanford University School of Medicine and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital who oversaw the study. The findings could encourage physicians to consider diagnosing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) rather than attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which has similar symptoms to PTSD but very different treatment.
Blast-Related Brain Injuries Detected In United States Military
An advanced imaging technique has revealed that some U.S. military personnel with mild blast-related traumatic brain injuries have abnormalities in the brain that have not been seen with other types of imaging. The abnormalities were found in the brain's white matter, the wiring system that nerve cells in the brain use to communicate with each other.
Low-Carb, Higher-Fat Diets Add No Arterial Health Risks To Obese People Seeking To Lose Weight
Overweight and obese people looking to drop some pounds and considering one of the popular low-carbohydrate diets, along with moderate exercise, need not worry that the higher proportion of fat in such a program compared to a low-fat, high-carb diet may harm their arteries, suggests a pair of new studies by heart and vascular researchers at Johns Hopkins.
New Stunning Evidence That Cell Phone Radiation Damages The Brain, DNA, And Reproductive Health
Cell phones are a ubiquitous part of our lives. New independent studies offer stunning proof that confirms findings from the Council of Europe — pulsed digital signals from cell phones disrupt DNA, impair brain function, and lower sperm count. A meeting convened by Environmental Health Trust, with the Turkish cancer society, and Gazi University, revealed new research on this important issue showing damage to DNA, brain, and sperm. Dr. Devra Davis, a member of a Nobel Peace Prize team, chairs this meeting with Prof. Nesrin Seyhan, a WHO and NATO advisor who is head and founder of Biophysics Department and Bioelectromagnetics Laboratory at Gazi University in Ankara and founder of the Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (GNRP) Center.

Like any classic horror story, the beginning of last night's Green Bay Packers vs. New York Giants game was nothing like you would expect.
The Packers took the field trailing 7-0. With the wind in their face, the crowd noise buzzing in their ears they stood right in the face of adversity. And on the fourth play from scrimmage Aaron Rodgers threw a perfect 61-yard touchdown pass to Jordy Nelson.
It was a great play, it silenced the crowd, and it made us wonder, is Rodgers about to enter "the zone?"
The next possession the Packers then forced a 3 and out, and it really seemed like momentum was in the Packers favor. They looked like a team ready to make a statement.
But like any story with a great villain the likes of Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, or the New York Football Giants … it wasn't going to be that easy.
The Packers got the ball back and began their march right toward the Giants end zone. With every play, they systematically got closer and closer.
Then all the sudden on a desperate shoelace tackle by Chris Canty the drive stalled. With it being fourth and 5 from the New York 37, Coach McCarthy did the unthinkable, he sent Mason Crosby to try a 55-yard field goal.
What?! No!! What is McCarthy thinking?
A struggling kicker, trying a 55-yard field goal in one of the most windy stadiums in the NFL? This could only end one way, badly.
As that kick sailed to its almost certain destination, left of the goal post and no good. You could feel the momentum switch in the blink of an eye.
The Giants started at the 45 yard line, scored fairly easily, and it was the beginning of the end for the Green Bay Packers.
What would follow was maybe the worst three quarters of football the McCarthy/Rodgers era has ever produced. In the end they lost by four touchdowns. Rodgers and the Packers walked off the field dejected, frustrated, and embarrassed, much like the last time these two teams met.
Going forward McCarthy, Rodgers, and company will say all the right things. They will talk about how they have already put this game behind them and are now focusing on this Sunday against the Vikings.
While they may be focusing on the Vikings, it is much tougher to simply put a performance like this behind them.
This type of loss tends to stay with you. It may not show up next game or the game after that, but at some point they will face adversity much like they did last night in New York.
What will they do?
Will they self-destruct and feel sorry for themselves or will they stand up and fight, like they have so many other times in the past?
Time will tell.

That is why Steve Nabor, director of accounting services decided to shift the responsibility of collections from the cashier's office to the department of loan services. "It was under discussion for the last year," Nabor said. "It really just made a lot of sense." Referring to the loan services department he said, "Why not take advantage of their expertise?" He explained that they have the legal knowledge and background to effectively get the job done. Previously the cashiers department was the first line of defense and would try to collect. "It was a matter of separation of duties," Nabor said. "If an auditor came in, he would say that it was a bad situation to have the cashier also do the collecting." Cashier Celeste Killian said the loan de- By Linda Loveland managing editor-The Signpost The coming weeks, with all their cheer, bring with them many opportunities to celebrate.Beginning tomorrow at 10 a.m.. Weber State University's drug and alcoholhealth education department will work to encourage students to enjoy the holidays safely. Their goal is to make students aware of the risks created by alcohol and drags. The event, which will feature presentations of fatal vision goggles which are de signed to produce the effects of being inebriated, will be one of the biggest sponsored by the drug and alcoholhealth education department in the past several years. Pearce Danner, with the drug and alcoholhealth education office is spearheading the three-day event. "We are trying to get a" message to the entire student body: If you are going to drink over the holiday, please be responsible," Danner said. Danner suggested important rules to follow to keep holiday celebrations safe: Don't drink on an empty stomach: eat and drink water before you go to the party (at least 16 ounces). Don't drink more than one beer or one Atif Alam was used to eating food with flavor before he came to Weber State University from Pakistan last year. Then, Alam, earless and unfamiliar with the area, moved into the residence halls. "In the first five or six month period, it looked to me like in whole America there just is this Burger King," he said. Still, Alam doesn't complain. "In Pakistan, they use a lot of spices and put some time into making the food. And then when I came to the dorm, it was just places like Burger King. But it's fine, you have to eat something to survive," he said. So, the food's as different as night and day, as black and white as the Gabby Gourmet and Kmart's cafeteria. "It's like totally different country." Alam said. Still, Alam, 20, is surviving fine in the United States.

"They are legally their own collection agency." Most people clear up any problems immediately, she said. Melisa Wright, a student employed with loan services said, "I think they the cashiers weren't collecting on them and we can do a better job." She added that loan services has more personnel to handle the load. During the 1998-99 school year, there was a total of $27.9 million in tuition and student fees.

Don't get behind the wheel of any car if you have had anything with alcohol to drink. Find a designated driver or a cab to take you home. Any sort of drug use is illegal and shouldn't be participated in. Most of the planning for the event was coordinated by volunteers. "We're really excited to be working with our volunteers." said Danner. 'They are the minds behind the whole event." Tracy Whiting, residence hall senator, is See Holidays page 3 Mock trial team starts year with success By Tanna Barry news editor-The Signpost Weber State University's mock trial team, with a 7-1 record, captured first place at the Malcaster Tournament in St. Paul. Minnesota. Nov. 19-21. "I expected the team to be very competitive at the tournament," said Frank Guliuzza, mock trial team coach. "It was a very' strong tournament." There were 20 teams including Macalaster (one of the top 1 0 teams at last year's national tournament), University of Minnesota, University of Texas and several other teams from the upper midwestern United States. Terri Sloyer. a lawyer for the team, said, "Winning lets you know that you're doing the right thing. We're right on track." Sloyer said this tournament helped build the team's confidence. "1 think we needed this in terms of building our confidence that we arc competitive," she said. This is sometimes difficult for them to realize, according to Sloyer, because there are no local mock trial teams to practice with. "We spend a lot of time scrimmaging teams in Guliuzza's classes just to get some practice," she said. Sloyer,. however, believes that Guliuzza himself provides a lot of help in preparing for the competitor!. "1 don't think that the students or the lager campus community is aware of Dr. Guliuzza's commitment and dedication to developing the program," Sloyer said. She feels he prepares them through the practices and also through the classes that he teaches. With his help and the preparation of the team, they were able to do win first at the national competition. Not only did the team do well as a whole, but two teams members were awarded individual awards. Brandon Miles ended among the top witnesses for his role as a forensic pathologist . Anna Conrad ended among the top five attorneys. Conrad was also on last years mock trial team and obtained the honor of All-American Attorney last season. "Her win last season indicated she would have a good season this year," Guliuzza said. "Everyone should be very happy alxiul it." Guliuzza said.

|Weber State University
|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.

I can't believe someone makes… A wooden MacBook
Who wood believe it, eh?
Books are made from paper and paper's made from wood – I know – but who would make a MacBook carved from wood?
Full marks for craftsmanship to one Kyle Buuckner, though. And thanks to Cult of Mac for highlighting objet d'art. It writes:
Buckner constructed the casing out of wood, routering all the corners and then priming, sanding and painting the pieces white. The hinge system replicates the real Mac's and is fully constructed out of hand cut MDF wood.
After he painted the pieces, he used a pencil to add the fine details. He drew the screen and full keyboard and penciled in every tiny phillips head screw at its location.

In no way should MDF be considered wood! MDF = Medium Density Fibre board, generally used to make "cheap, wood like" furniture.
This truly is an item for the saddest of the sad!

Heart Disease Health Center
Transcendental Meditation May Lower Heart Risk
Second Opinion
"In cardiology, we are always impressed when we see any effective intervention," says cardiologist Michael Shapiro, DO, of Oregon Health and Science University in Portland. "But to actually show a reduction in overall mortality -- that is really impressive."
Shapiro, who reviewed the study for WebMD, says that its design appears scientifically rigorous and that its results are likely valid. But he says the study was too small to draw any definite conclusions.
"I am enthusiastic and cautiously optimistic," says Shapiro. "Overall, I like the study, and it provides justification for a much larger study."
Shapiro, who practices a different form of meditation, also says that more needs to be learned about what drives these results. He says the reduction in blood pressure, while significant, is likely not enough to account for all of the study's positive outcomes.
"Meditation can do a whole host of positive things: reduce anger and stress, encourage happiness," he says. "Who is to say that these are not the most important factors? This study can't get at the mechanism involved. We don't know how it works."
A Cost-Effective Means of Prevention
Transcendental Meditation, says Schneider, is "a simple, effortless, and natural way to settle down to a quiet state of mind."
But it is not free. According to the Maharishi Foundation USA's web site, the seven-part introductory TM course that the study participants attended costs $1,500. Financial aid and sliding scale fees are available to those who can't afford the full amount.
To Schneider, this study shows that TM is a cost-effective means of prevention.
"This is the strongest study ever done on meditation or any mind-body intervention for cardiovascular disease," he says.
In July 2011, the study was pulled from publication in Archives of Internal Medicine, a last-minute decision made when one of the journal's reviewers raised questions about the data. Schneider says that in the intervening time, the data was re-analyzed. Also, new data was added and the study underwent an independent review.
"This is the new and improved version," Schneider says. It appears in the current issue of Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes.
