Birds and Berries
Birds need to eat their spinach too!
Only when the coldest days of the year set in and food sources are exhausted do birds begin to eat their spinach. At that point, the long-lasting berries can truly be a lifesaver. "Fruits are very important for overwintering birds," says Christopher Whelan, an avian biologist with the Illinois Natural History Survey.

© 2003 National Wildlife Federation. All rights reserved. GETTING BIRDS through winter takes more than bird feeders and brush piles. It also takes a few spinach plants. But this spinach is not the green, leafy vegetable. To wildlife gardeners, a spinach plant is a tree or shrub that has bitter berries. Like those of us who prefer decadent foods over healthier alternatives, birds will flock first to ice cream plants, such as flowering dogwoods, and avoid spinach plants, such as hawthorns and sumacs, for as long as possible. Only when the coldest days of the year set in and food sources are exhausted do birds begin to eat their spinach. At that point, the long-lasting berries can truly be a lifesaver. "Fruits are very important for overwintering birds," says Christopher Whelan, an avian biologist with the Illinois Natural History Survey. According to Whelan, many insectivorous birds change their diet in fall and winter. Woodpeckers, thrashers, quail, robins, waxwings, mockingbirds, bluebirds, grouse, catbirds, thrushes and even chickadees and titmice turn to berries when the weather turns cold. The best winter-fruiting plants for wildlife are native trees and shrubs. "Many of them produce prodigious fruit," says Whelan. Natives are also easy to care for once they are established. Dozens—even hundreds—of varieties are available. Try cultivating some of the following plants in your garden. Nurseries and native plant societies can help you select the species best suited to your part of the country. If you live in the southernmost sections of the country, now is an excellent time to set out fruiting plants. Gardeners in the northern tier and mountain states can plant in the spring. But in the rest of the country, you should wait until autumn before adding a little spinach to your backyard. Sumac: For years sumacs were considered trash trees by gardeners. But now these widespread natives are cultivated for their fiery autumn foliage and showy seed heads. They are also without equal as a winter emergency food for a wide range of birds and mammals. Some 15 species occur in North America. Winged sumac is native to the eastern half of the United States. Smooth sumac extends into the West. In the Southwest, plant little-leaf, aromatic or evergreen sumacs. Poison sumac is not really sumac and should be avoided as it's more closely related to poison ivy. Holly: "Probably the best winter berry plants are hollies," says Wynn Anderson, of the Chihuahuan Desert Gardens at the University of Texas-El Paso. Possum haw, a deciduous holly with abundant fruit, is found throughout the southeastern states. Another is winterberry, the hardiest of the hollies, flourishing in New England and eastern Canada. Its crimson berries improve with age and are popular with birds after a frost or two. Three other native hollies—American, yaupon and inkberry—are evergreen, providing protection from snow, rain and wind. Cluster female holly bushes with a male to ensure a good crop of fruit. Saltbush: Several species of this desert shrub are native to the Southwest and California. Anderson recommends four-winged saltbush. "It's excellent for quail as well as for a number of other critters," he says. All of the saltbushes are drought tolerant and prefer well-drained soils and full sun. Hackberry: Nearly 50 species of birds—ranging from roadrunners to titmice—eat the pea-sized fruit of the common hackberry. Related to the elm, this species is one of the few trees that thrives from the edge of the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic seaboard. Eventually reaching 40 to 60 feet tall in ideal situations, the common hackberry is durable and can be planted in urban areas and in poor soils. American Beautyberry: This hardy four- to six-foot shrub has purple or magenta fruit, which can last until mid-winter. Native in much of the eastern United States, beauty-berry is a favorite of mockingbirds and several other species of birds. Viburnum: Several native viburnums have berries that persist long into the winter. The fruit of possumhaw viburnum starts out chartreuse in the summer then gradually changes color, first to white, then pink, and finally to navy blue. It is native to the eastern coastal plain from Connecticut south to Florida and west to Texas. Highbush cranberry and nannyberry are two viburnums that grow across the northern United States. Mountain Ash: As the name suggests, mountain ash prefers cool, moist habitats. American mountain ash, usually a large shrub or small tree, ranges from eastern Canada south into the Appalachian Mountains. Sitka mountain ash is a western species. Both have showy white blossoms in the spring. After a few freeze-and-thaw cycles, the orange-red fruit attracts grosbeaks, grouse and waxwings. Hawthorn: Dozens of species of hawthorns are found in the United States and Canada. With thorns and a tendency to clump into thickets, these small trees do double duty, providing secure nesting sites in summer and plentiful berries in winter. Cedar waxwings, ruffed grouse and fox sparrows all devour the plants' scarlet berries. James Romer, a horticulturist for Iowa State University Extension, recommends Washington hawthorn in the East and Midwest. Another possibility is a cultivated variety of green hawthorn known as winter king. Bayberry: Most species of bayberry, including northern bayberry and Pacific wax myrtle, are vital to winter wildlife. In the Southeast, tree swallows and other birds swarm to southern wax myrtle if a late cold front strikes in spring. Wax myrtle is easy to grow, tolerating a wide range of conditions.

The Mississippi State Chemical Laboratory is receiving funding to support an enhanced multi-state research program examining effects of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on the Gulf of Mexico.
The award is among 19 grants out of 629 letters of intent announced recently by the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative. Approximately $20 million will be awarded to researchers over the next three years.
The GoMRI Research Board is an autonomous body that administers a 10-year research program funded by BP, the multinational British oil and gas company that held the Deepwater Horizon lease.
Titled "Characterizing the Composition and Biogeochemical Behavior of Dispersants and their Transformation Products in Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ecosystems," the research program will address the toxicity, sorption, bioavailability and occurrence in seafood of dispersant components and transformation products used in response to the oil spill.
State Chemist Kevin Armbrust, principal investigator on the project, said the overall goals are to improve the knowledge base of dispersant behavior in the coastal marine environment and to increase understanding of the processes controlled dispersant fate and biological exposure in the gulf following the massive April 2010 oil spill.
"These are questions that have not been well-addressed in the past," Armbrust said, noting that the team is receiving approximately $1.1 million for its research over the next three years.
Working with him are MSU colleague Darrell Sparks, P. Lee Ferguson of Duke University in North Carolina, and Bruce J. Brownawell and Anne E. McElroy of the State University of New York at Stonybrook.
"Drs. Sparks, Ferguson, McElroy and Brownawell put in a tremendous collaborative effort on this proposal," Armbrust said. "It's a great multidisciplinary cross-institutional team, and we are excited to get started on the project."
Sparks is an assistant professor in the biochemistry, molecular biology, entomology, and plant pathology department. Also a Faculty Fellow and director of the MSCL's Chemical Regulatory Division, he received bachelor's and doctoral degrees in chemical engineering from MSU in 2003 and 2008, respectively.
As the chemical lab's director, Armbrust's principal responsibilities include duties as a regulatory official for the Magnolia State. He also holds faculty appointments on campus in the departments of biochemistry, molecular biology, entomology and plant pathology in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences; chemistry department in the College of Arts and Sciences; and department of basic sciences in the College of Veterinary Medicine.
He received a bachelor's degree in environmental toxicology and a doctorate in agricultural and environmental chemistry, both from the University of California at Davis in 1987 and 1992, respectively.
Established in 1892 on the campus of then-Mississippi A&M College, the MSCL is a state regulatory agency.
Working with the Mississippi departments of Agriculture and Commerce and of Health, the lab jointly develops, promulgates, modifies and enforces regulations, standards and specifications of animal feeds, food, fertilizers, gasoline, kerosene, diesel, and antifreeze sold within the state's borders. The three agencies also provide analytical data to ensure the quality, accurate labeling of these materials.
Other MSCL duties include research to promote the regulatory sciences, including a fellows program in which MSU faculty and students may collaborate on projects of mutual interest. For more, visit www.mscl.msstate.edu.

I checked the front and back and both faucets bibs reads 50psi. Right now I am using a 3/4" pvc coming off the faucet header line and then using 1/2" pvc lateral line to sprinkler head. My main line close to the meter is using a 1/2" copper pipe with 50psi that is 6.5 gpm.
You said 6gpm going through a 1/2" copper pipe reaches the danger zone. Does this mean I could have a pipe inside my house burst by setting up this type of system using the ouside faucet? If that is the case it would be better if I did use the main water line. thanks for your help

Hey Loud,
I am looking for some recommendations for a place to get my RS250 serviced without being robbed and i hear you are the man with the know.
Can you enlighten me a little please.
Yeah cheers mate
Yeh definitely, never too busy to learn
How'd the court case go mate??
I knowww!! It's so good. And I see you have all your bike stuff sorted as well - I'm hoping to make the LNR next Thurs but it's my cousin's birthday, he hasn't said he's doing anything yet but tradition would suggest we'll be going out to dinner somewhere. Fingers crossed, I want to dress up in green for the ride for St Patrick's Day!
Whoops! I knew that, meant to say Tuesday... did ring today, apparently he's waiting on my new ignition barrel to arrive so he can start it. Through gritted teeth I reminded him he managed to start it perfectly last week by bypassing the ignition. I also reminded him that this is now the FOURTH week he has had the bike, to which he replied "oh, really? That long? Hmmm" x_x *hulkrage* but if I pull out and go to another mechanic, it's still going to take a while so I'm trying to be patient. Totally over it though!

Van Halen Rock L.A. Forum With Dress Rehearsal Concert
Van Halen played a 15-song "dress rehearsal" concert last night (Feb. 8th) at the Los Angeles Forum. The set included four songs from their new album 'A Different Kind of Truth,' 10 classics and a by-all-accounts amazing Eddie Van Halen guitar solo showcase.
A crowd of several thousand "family and friends" got to witness what we selfishly hope was a truncated version of the shows that will cross the continent beginning Feb. 18 in Louisville, Ky. (Van Halen typically played well over two hours at each of the shows on their previous tour.)
Slash was among the lucky witnesses, declaring via Twitter, 'Van Halen was killer tonight at the Forum. Eddie was brilliant. So amazing to hear / watch." Judging from fan-shot videos like the one below, it seems a very fair review.
One noticeable change from last time out is that David Lee Roth's got himself a Janet Jackson-style headset microphone to sing into, presumably to facilitate more dance and karate moves during each performance.

I'm a little bean-obsessed.
My pantry is lined wall to wall, or rather shelf to shelf, with containers of beans of every color and shape. Yellow canary beans, canellini beans, lima beans, pink beans, pinto beans, red rajma beans, navy beans, black beans, blackeyed peas, garbanzo beans, fava beans…you name it, it's likely there.
And when I see a bean recipe that's different from the ones I already know, I devour it with unabashed gluttony.
So what's it about beans?
Let's just say this: you cannot get a better bang for your buck than these protein- and fiber-packed wonders.
A bean is not just another bean is not just any other bean. Each bean has its own character and its own unique flavor and texture. When you learn to appreciate beans, you open yourself up to a healthy, flavorful and delicious world of cooking and eating.
But much as a I love all kinds of beans, I must admit, I do have a favorite.
Garbanzo beans, or chickpeas. Come to think of it, they even stand apart from other beans because of the way they look: cute and chubby, instead of spare, smooth, and shiny, the way the other denizens of the beanworld are.
For a cook, chickpeas are also great because compared to most other beans, they cook up quite easily, although it's even easier if you take the time to soak them. They have a wonderful, hefty yet creamy texture that makes them ideal for both felafel and hummus. They taste great just boiled and tossed into a leafy salad or spiked with a few simple Indian spices and coconut to make a sundal. And they are unbelievably meaty and delicious in spicy hot curries ladled over rice.
My recipe for today is for a Carribean Chickpea Curry that is based very loosely on a recipe from World Vegetarian. The Caribbean spices give it a uniquely spicy, smoky flavor that is mindblowingly delicous.
I served it with some chapatis and rice, but just one or the other would work as a great partner for this red-hot curry.
Enjoy, everyone, and have a great weekend!
Caribbean Chickpea Curry
Chickpea Curry with Caribbean Spices
- 1 cup dried chickpeas , soaked for 8 hours and then cooked until tender
- 1 onion , finely chopped
- 2 jalapeno chili peppers , finely minced
- 1 tbsp canola or other vegetable oil
- 4-5 garlic cloves , minced
- 2 medium-sized potatoes , diced into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 cup chopped coriander or cilantro leaves
- For the masala or spice powder:
- Roast until just a couple of shades darker and then powder in a blender or spice-grinder:
- 2 tbsp coriander seeds
- 1 tbsp cumin seeds
- 2 tsp black peppercorns
- 5 cloves
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- 2 tsp mustard seeds
- 1 tsp fenugreek seeds
- In a saucepan, heat the oil
- Add the onion and fry until it starts to brown.
- Add the jalapeno chilies, garlic, the thyme, and the powdered spices, and stir-fry for a minute.
- Add the chickpeas and the potatoes along with about 2 cups of water (use up any water left over from cooking the chickpeas),
- Add salt. Bring the curry to a boil, then turn the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and cook for about 15-20 minutes.
- Garnish with coriander and, if desired, some freshly diced onions and tomatoes.
- Serve hot.
I am sending this chickpea curry recipe on to Sometime Foodie who's hosting JFI: Chickpeas. JFI, or Jihva for Ingredients, was started by Indira of Mahanandi.
This also goes to the seventh helping of Susan's My Legume Love Affair, hosted this month by Srivalli.
Thanks, all!

During a keynote presentation at the Desktop Summit, Maemo community manager Quim Gil announced that the application framework in future versions of Nokia's Linux platform will use the Qt toolkit. This change will have a significant impact on the Maemo platform and its third-party developer community.
Maemo is a Linux platform based on Debian that Nokia originally created for its Internet Tablet devices. Its user interface and application toolkit is called Hildon, a variant of GTK+ that is optimized for touchscreen mobile environments. Maemo has always been closely aligned with the GNOME mobile and embedded ecosystem, which has made it very easy for popular GTK+ applications to be ported to the platform. Maemo 5, a major new version that is currently under active development, will use a combination of GTK+ and the increasingly popular Clutter scenegraph library. The subsequent version, codenamed Harmattan, will adopt Qt as the dominant toolkit.
Nokia acquired Trolltech, the company behind Qt, last year. Nokia has continued to invest considerably in improving Qt and has also transitioned it from the GPL license to the more permissive LGPL, a move that could significantly boost adoption of the toolkit by commercial software vendors.
Nokia values the inherent portability of Qt because it will enable developers to build a single codebase that can be deployed across a number of desktop and mobile platforms. Qt supports Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Windows Mobile, and several flavors of mobile Linux. Nokia is also developing an S60 port of Qt which the company is said to be positioning as the dominant toolkit for Symbian.
In addition to platform portability, Qt also offers some significant technical advantages to third-party Maemo developers. Qt has robust implementations of many advanced capabilities such as pervasive CSS theming, a sophisticated canvas that can handle widget transformation and input redirection, a powerful WebKit rendering widget with very deep toolkit integration, an simple platform-neutral multimedia framework, and support for application extensibility with a lightweight ECMAScript engine. The GTK+ ecosystem is gradually gaining many of these features, but it still lags behind considerably in these areas and doesn't provide the same level of maturity or integration.
An interesting aspect of Nokia's new Maemo platform strategy is that the company intends to keep many of its existing GNOME mobile stack components despite transitioning to Qt. For example, Harmattan will continue to use GNOME's GConf configuration system.
"Maemo Harmattan will base its application framework in Qt while keeping most of the Fremantle middleware based on GNOME technologies," Gil wrote in a blog entry about the transition. "The goal is to offer an open, efficient and compelling Linux mobile stack with a cross-platform Qt API used also by Symbian and available in other mobile and traditional operating systems. Hopefully a successful step helping free software projects collaborating with each other and also helping free software developers reaching millions of potential users."
The response from the GNOME community has been mixed. Developer Murray Cumming, founder of coding company Openismus, believes that the transition will pose some major challenges. In particular, he points out that the existing C programmers who have been coding GTK+ applications for Maemo could have difficulty adapting to C++ and Qt.
"It's clearly a rather arbitrary and disruptive decision. I suspect that some managers are dictating the Nokia-wide use of Qt even in projects that don't otherwise share code, without understanding the difficulty of the change," he remarked in a blog entry. "UI code is never just a thin layer that can be replaced easily, even if it looks like just another block in the architecture diagram. Likewise, hundreds of C coders cannot become capable C++ coders overnight."
In my view, Nokia's biggest risk is alienating Fremantle developers. Nokia's tendency to make major API changes with new versions has frustrated many Maemo application developers and has led to some fragmentation. Certain popular third-party applications that were widely-used on previous versions of Maemo were abandoned by their developers and never ported to more recent versions. Some developers who are currently experimenting with the upcoming Maemo 5 release might be reluctant to invest much time in building software for Fremantle that they already know will be relegated to second-class status on Harmattan.
It's important to note, however, that the transition to Qt won't eliminate GTK+ on Maemo entirely. When Harmattan arrives, Nokia intends to turn over the responsibility for supporting GTK+ on Maemo to the community. If this is done right, and strong support for legacy applications remains intact during the transition from Fremantle to Harmattan, it could do a lot to reduce the potential problems. After Nokia fully adopts Qt ubiquitously across its mobile line, we will hopefully see a more incremental evolutionary path with greater consistency between versions.

Arizona State deploys G Suite in less than two weeks
The Arizona State University (ASU) Technology Office was frustrated that its IT staff was spending so much time patching, upgrading, and maintaining software and hardware systems that did not fully meet their needs. Expenses spiraled as the university was forced to spend more on spam filters, virus protection software, and storage upgrades. They wanted to move users over to an entirely new system, but in a way that would not prove too disruptive or costly.
"G Suite for Education is helping ASU become a highly flexible university that can provide extraordinary technology experiences for its students."
Kari Barlow, Assistant Vice President, University Technology Office
After studying a number of alternatives to its hardware and software email system configuration, ASU chose to deploy G Suite for Education (at the time called Google Apps for Education). They achieved the transition seamlessly, in less than two weeks, and were able to significantly lower administration costs.They saved more than $350,000 a year on the mail system alone. The new system was secure, intuitive to use, and easy to maintain--thus freeing up valuable IT resources to focus on creative technology projects.
Organization Profile
Arizona State University (ASU) is the largest public university by enrollment in the United States. In 2006, ASU made G Suite for Education available to its 65,000 students. In less than two weeks, ASU had configured and deployed G Suite and integrated it with their home-grown single sign-on and user provisioning system. A year later, the rest of the community--including faculty, staff, and alumni--were migrated onto G Suite.

You may have heard the word "Mendeley" around campus lately. One of our GSLIS students spent some time working with Mendeley to give his perspective on using it for his work. If you want to learn more about Mendeley, come take one of our library workshops.
Written by Rajeev Mathai
Mendeley is a free reference manager, citation manager, and research organizer. This web tool and website was initially a bit hard to figure out. However, once I became familiar with it, its many features were astounding.
Mendeley has a "live" text search which goes through all of the papers. It also has a feature to share and synchronize your library. In addition, Mendeley's research database contains over 200 million documents. Through testing, I found Mendeley can work on an iPhone, iPad, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari. It also offers access anywhere at any time to one's citations and documents.
Mendeley requires a username and password. Once entered and contractual terms are agreed to, you are in! Setup takes only ten minutes. Mendeley is great for research in academic departments such as Business, History, English, and GSLIS. It costs nothing for 1GB of storage, and premium plans are available at a modest cost. Mendeley targets researchers and scientists in undergraduate, graduate, and PhD programs. It truly serves scholars and educators.
I think the Dominican University community can really benefit from this research tool. It is easy to use and a great research organizer. It will really help me to bring clarity to my own research. It also enables students to easily link to and learn from the expert research in their particular discipline. Mendeley really brings reference management to another level. Scholars will be able to organize their research libraries and in the process do collaborative work with others and discover current research statistics. With Mendeley researchers can now connect, share ideas, ask questions or start a discussion. It will also help academic library managers to gain insight into the way researchers work and use their library collections.

Identification methods: 1.Signature based detection 2. Heuristic-based detection
Signature based detection: it's most common method to take down virus. This process, antivirus compares contents of the file to directory of virus signatures. Every virus program contains different malicious proggram. Firstly, antivirus collects odd proggram then create virus signature database.
Heuristic-based detection : There are some renowned antivirus uses this method. Many viruses start as a single infection and through either mutation or refinements by other attackers, can grow into dozens of slightly different strains, called variants. Generic detection refers to the detection and removal of multiple threats using a single virus definition. [source:Wikipedia]
Rootkit Detection: Rootkit is malware, antivirus also can scan it. Rootkits normally changed OS . Several time, hacker injects rootkit to host !
Virus lists and how to prevent :
5.Trojan Horses

9. Virus Hoax
10. Zombie
There are various ways to prevent them. In this time, many software like, Antivirus, Smart Security, Internet security,Anti-spyware, Anti-malware etc. there are all paid and trail version.

Lithia Obtains Toyota Franchise for Missoula [AUDIO]
Starting Wednesday, October 24th, 2012, Missoula will have a new Toyota dealer. Lithia Toyota will be located right next to Bitterroot Motors on Brooks in Missoula.
Bitterroot Motors opened the Toyota dealership in 1973, when it was known simply as Bitterroot Toyota. The Ogren family added the Ford dealership in 1981, when they officially changed their name to Bitterroot Motors.
According to the Bitterroot Motors website, Erik Ogren passed away in an automobile accident in 1984 at the age of 39. His wife, Kathy, assumed the presidency of the company, and continues to run the business today.
Lithia Toyota General Manager Jeremy Nelson said Ms. Ogren sold Lithia the land that has been the Toyota showroom, so the two dealerships will exist side by side.
Nelson says some of the sales staff who specialize in Toyota, along with some of the service personnel have come over to the new dealership.He says Lithia plans to demolish the old building and build a new showroom and service center sometime in the next year.
Nelson says the new Toyota dealership is closed today, Tuesday, but will be officially open for business on Wednesday.

By V. Phani Kumar
Good morning.
Eddy Elfenbein, the buy-and-hold blogger at Crossing Wall Street, wrote Friday that the fiscal cliff, for all the hype over it, is a "silly notion," and that lawmakers will reach a compromise by January, as Americans have little patience left after a long election campaign.
That may well prove to be case, with the "milk cliff" making all those headlines this morning. The prospect of a doubling of milk prices could eventually do what months of dilly-dallying hasn't — spark enough public outrage to force an end to the political impasse. (Read The Washington Post story on the imminent Dairy Cliff.)
To be sure, the bill on federal support for agriculture programs isn't the main focus of the ongoing cliff negotiations. But it also reflects the political gridlock in Washington, and may shorten the fuse for dairy shoppers.
MarketWatch's Rex Nutting makes a point in his column that it's time for congressional members to be locked up until they thrash out a deal. Locking them up, without milk or cream for their coffee, might just yield results faster.
Key market gauges: U.S. equity futures are indicating a fifth straight day of losses may be in store. DJIA futures /quotes/zigman/9025253 DJH3 are down 58 points, or 0.5%, and S&P 500 futures /quotes/zigman/4371397 SPH3 are off 0.6%. Coming on the heels of another solidly up day in Asia, the performance again signals that international investors remain more confident that the cliff can be averted, or at the very least, its impact can be minimized. Read Asia Markets.
Japan's Nikkei /quotes/zigman/5986735 JP:NIK , in particular, ended the day 0.7% higher to finish 2012 with a 22.9% gain — including an astounding 17.2% rally in the last quarter. The yen /quotes/zigman/4868099/sampled USDJPY is holding above 86 to a buck, and TheArmoTrader is seeing a major trend change on the charts.
The economy: Chicago PMI figures are expected at 9:45 a.m. ET, and economists are expecting an improvement to 51.0 in the December reading, from 50.4 in November.
Also on tap is the November pending home sales index. The WSJ MarketBeat is anticipating a 1.2% improvement, easing off a 5.2% increase seen in the last report.
The buzz: Keep an eye on Blackstone /quotes/zigman/459729 /quotes/nls/bx BX stock, after SeaWorld Entertainment Inc., an amusement park operator owned by the buyout firm, filed for an IPO. The deal is expected to raise between $500 million and $700 million, and Blackstone will retain a majority stake, the WSJ reports. The deal comes just a week after Pinnacle Foods Inc., also owned by Blackstone, filed papers to raise $100 million from a U.S. IPO, Bloomberg reports.
Following its successful turnaround in the U.S., Starbucks /quotes/zigman/20720 /quotes/nls/sbux SBUX is now turning its attention to Europe. Michelle Gass, head of its Europe division, says the coffee chain will now abandon some of its shops in expensive shopping districts and focus instead on opening outlets closer to where people live, the WSJ reports. Also afoot is an enhanced marketing program, and some tinkering with prices and loyalty programs.
The call of the day: Real Asset Returns Editor Peter Krauth tells Money Morning's William Patalon why he likes gold miners such as Barrick /quotes/zigman/12772 /quotes/nls/abx ABX and Newmont /quotes/zigman/235723 /quotes/nls/nem NEM as investments in 2013 after the recent sell-down. It's not just about their dividend yields, or an alternative play on the physical metal.
"Over the last decade or so, the best of these companies have aggressively expanded their reserves," Krauth told Money Morning. "Having spent a number of years just growing their reserves, all it will take to reap the payoff will be some event that kicks off a mania in gold prices… When that happens, gold-mining stocks will be off to the races."
In a separate post on Seeking Alpha, Tim Iacono makes a case for higher allocations toward the yellow metal.
The chart of the day: Treasurys are in a bubble and the low yields are unsustainable, right? Not so, according to UBS economist Maury Harris, who shared the chart below with Business Insider.
Harris used the chart to highlight that the size of the mortgage bond market has shrunk much more than the market for Treasurys has expanded over the last six years.
"Federal borrowing is 'filling in' instead of 'crowding out,'" Harris told BI, adding that tight supply in the bond market will keep investors glued to Treasurys for years.

After days of downloading the FG Enhancement patch, I had my doubts this morning when my modem was disconnected during the night and the remote ISP server would not allow me access for a while. Once I obtained a stable ISP phone line connection, the downloading continued, but then unexpectedly the Free Download Manager program crashed TWICE with fatal bug errors!
I don't recall ever seeing this type of FDM software crash, and I have used this program successfully for years. I was very concerned something had been corrupted and had no idea why the downloading software was having such a rare combination of crashes, so during the remaining 10 hours of downloading I wondered how this time-consuming online adventure would end.
The patch download was completed very late this evening. After defragging my hard drive, I installed the Forsaken Gods DVD. Then I launched the FG Enhancement patch which defaulted to a JoWood directory. After choosing the correct Dreamcatcher directory, the EG Enhancement patch installed flawlessly. Then I launched the startup menu, changed some options and restarted to play the first new game as a test to get through the introduction and opening scene inside the room. There were no errors or crashes. Sehr gut!
My next decision is to properly preserve this huge FGE patch so I will not have to redownload it from Deutschland if my computer hard drive fails.
Vielen dank for all your helpful hints and suggestions!

Vol. XLIII—No. 14
Bethel College, St. Paul, Minn. Thursday, December 19, 1968
Ask for $31,600
Senate expands budget request
Miss Lillian Ryberg, files ready for quick reference,
looks over the current language lab facilities. An Alumni Faculty.
Grant of $400 has aided her in exploring ideas for the new language
lab to be constructed on the Arden Hills campus.
by Dave Greener
Bethel College is scheduled for
relocation in 1971. But for now, the
Arden Hills landscape is a snow-covered,
wind-blown expanse. The
white hills are interrupted only by
a dormitory and an entrance road-way.
It is elsewhere that the ac-tivity
of planning a new campus is
taking place.
One item of planning concerns
the new campus language lab.
Since last June, Miss Lillian Ry-berg,
chairman of Bethel's Depart-ment
of Foreign Languages, has
been doing research on language
labs in Minnesota. Her purpose:
to explore ideas for the new lab
at Bethel's new campus.
Miss Ryberg's research has been
facilitated by an Alumni-Faculty
Grant of $400. She is grateful for
this assistance. As she says, "I ap-preciate
their help very much."
In Miss Ryberg's thinking, teach-ing
devices are very important in
learning foreign languages. She
points out that "If one's objectives
include speaking a foreign lan-guage—
and understanding others
speaking it—some type of equip-
Vice-President Hubert H. Hum-phrey
was offered a joint faculty
position by Macalester College of
St. Paul and the University of Min-nesota
last Friday.
Humphrey officially accepted the
post Sunday. Although the nature
of his responsibilities have not yet
been determined, he will assume
his duties by spring term.
The University's offer was ap-proved
by its Board of Regents at
its regular monthly meeting upon
recommendation of the Social Sci-ence
Advisory Committee in the
College of Liberal Arts.
University President Malcolm
Moos read a letter to the board
from Macalester President Arthur
S. Flemming indicating that the
provate liveral arts college "would
ment—even if it's only a tape re-corder—
is a necessity."
Bethel first realized the merits
of language equipment in 1955
when the current lab complex was
installed at a cost of less than $2,-
000. Although Miss Ryberg admits
that its "functions are limited,"
she feels that this lab has brought
"tremendous results from the ini-tial
investment," especially in
terms of longevity.
But the old must give way to
the new. The current lab will be
replaced in Arden Hills by a sys-tem
that will be both modern (cas-sette
tape recorders, for example,
will be employed) and, hopefully,
more effective for learning.
Thus far, Miss Ryberg's research
for this new lab complex has been
more of collecting data than of
formulating conclusions. It will
only be later that suggestions are
finalized and recommendations
brought forth.
To date, Miss Ryberg's studies
have taken her to many areas of
Minnesota. Among the schools she
has visited are St. John's College,
Southwest State Junior College,
be delighted to have the opportuni-ty
of working out a joint arrange-ment
with the University of Min-nesota
under which Vice-President
would serve both institutions of
higher education."
"We feel that the vice-president's
background . . . would enable him
to render a unique service to the
students at our respective institu-tions
and through our institutions
to the entire field of higher edu-cation,"
Flemming's letter conclud-ed.
Moos indicated that the appoint-ment
of the vice-president would
be a substantial step forward in his
goal to bring major public figures
who can make a significant educa-tional
contribution to the campus.
At Macalester, Humphrey would
Student Senate has advanced a
budget request of $31,600 for the
fiscal year beginning next June
and running through the '69-70
school year. The request was for-mulated
by the Student Life Coun-cil,
consisting of senate executives
and committee chairmen.
The budget projection is nearly
$9,000 more than the senate's cur-rent
operating budget of $23,000.
That figure was reached when last
year's budget proposal was cut $6,-
000 from a requested $29,000.
After their allotment was pared
to $23,000, the senate reshuffled
their funds internally this fall. The
emphasis of the newly proposed
budget are similar to those of the
present one, after its re-allocation
of funds.
A good share of the additional
funds requested by senate would
go to Bethel's communication me-dia.
The SPIRE would get a total
Saint Teresa (Winona), and Hubert
Olson Jr. High School (Bloom-ington).
Upcoming journeys of import-ance
include a trip to the Univer-sity
of Wisconsin (where a lab is
currently being built) and to Port-land,
Oregon (for a national audio-visual
conference in April).
In addition to her travels, Miss
Ryberg has consulted with many
important audio-visual people, both
from Minnesota and elsewhere.
Among these individuals are How-ard
Hathaway of educational tele-vision
station KCTA (in charge of
the station's Spanish program), D.
Goldsworthy of the University of
Wisconsin (editor of The Newslet-ter
of the National Association of
Language Lab Directors), and Rob-ert
Estelle of the University of Min-nesota
(the University is also mak-ing
plans for a new language lab
Besides her trips and consulta-tions,
Miss Ryberg has correspond-ed
with other knowledgeable indi-viduals
and with electronics com-panies
such as Haenstein & Bur-meister,
Inc., and Ampex and Ches-ter.

The annual headaches of budget
preparation move into a new phase
this week, following completion of
budget requests by each depart-ment.
The process now shifts gears,
going through a maze of adminis-trative
channels where the school's
collective needs are tailored to fit
its projected income.
Preparation of the fiscal year op-erating
budget always involves
some misunderstanding and ruffled
feathers in departments whose re-quests
receive some unwelcome
trimming. These are some of the
inevitable snags, however, of the
yearly task of balancing income
and expenditures.

Bethel senior
cuts record
A record album including relig-ious
comment, philosophical obser-vations,
and reflections on aspects
of love and on loneliness will be
released this week by Bethel senior
Calvin Harfst.
Harfst said that many of the
songs are reflections upon actual
experience, others upon mental ex-cursions.
"They all attempt to cre-ate
a pleasurable surface reaction,"
he said, "but all attempt to look
deeply into the core of life and
try to communicate at a deeper
level of the sensibilities."
"The music is of an individualis-tic
nature," he added, "created to
enhance the lyrical communica-tion."
Harfst, an English major who
started college as a math major,
said that the album, entitled "That
Reflecting One," includes nine
songs and costs $3.50. The cover de-sign
is an original painting by
Dave Moss, also a senior at Bethel.
According to Harfst, "The much
requested 'Janice' along with the
poignant title song 'Reflecting,'
which examines the true basis of
life," are among the album's se-lections.
Continuing his descriptions of
the songs in the album, Harfst
said that "driving rythms and bit-ing
words make 'I am the Man' and

on CLARION, SPIRE, COEVAL,
and WBCS would still be limited to
the editors or manager and would
total $2000 for the four organiza-tions,
an increase of $500 from
the current year.
The increase, broken down,
amounts to an extra $250 for COE-VAL
and an additional $100 for
the manager of WBCS, while the
SPIRE editor would receive a $150
increase. The stipend for CLARION
editor would not change.

Budget requests were then
turned back—last Friday or early
this week—to Held and to academ-ic
dean Virgil Olson, who reviews
the requests of the educational de-partments.
Held summarizes requests by de-partment
which are then reviewed
by Burton Wessman, Vice Presi-dent
of Business Affairs. Any ad-justments
deemed necessary in
budget requests are reviewed at
this time with the department
heads concerned.
Wessman will then present the
operating budget to the administra-tive
council, composed of the pres-ident
and his five vice-presidents,
for examination on January 15.
At this point it goes back to Held
who finalizes requests and puts
them in book form. Sometime in
March Wessman will present the
operating budget to the Board of
Education at their quarterly meet-ing
for approval.
Comptroller Held said staffing of
people receives top priority in
shaping an operating budget. Staff
and equipment are the two big
items in the budget.

the CLARION Thursday, December 19, 1968
raises some questions
The budget proposed by the Student Senate for next year,
while anticipating an expanding role for student government
and publications, seems vulnerable in two areas.
First, the amount of the budget ($31,600) seems somewhat
paradoxical in view of the sen:te's move for financial autonomy,
a move which would radically restructure the senate's financial
ties with the college administration. If this change is approved
by the student body in a referendum later in the school year,
the money for the Student Association budget will come directly
from the students in the form of a twenty-five dollar "tax" per
student, rather than out of the college's general fund.
Under this setup the senate would have a maximum bud-get
of $25,000 to work with, and, for two reasons, could wind
up with substantially less. First, at $25 per student, the $25,000
sum could only be reached with an enrollment of 1,000 students;
that figure was missed this year as it could also be missed in
the future.
The big factor, however, that could severely reduce the
possible maximum of $25,000 is the problem of collection. A
financially autonomous senate can not force the administration
to collect its fees; ultimately, any student who didn't feel like
throwing out the extra twenty-five dollars could simply say too
bad and refuse to pay. It would be a similar situation to that
of class dues, which a number of students don't pay once in
their four rears at Bethel.
If we minimize the problem of collection, senate could
possibly wind up with a budget close to their current one of
$23,000, which was given to them through the normal budget-ing
process. The important point is that the senate must settle
for a static financial budget of under $25,000 if the amendment
establishing financial autonomy is passed by the student body,
unless the $25 student charge is raised each year by another
Given the senate's goal of financial autonomy which would
limit their budget to $25,000 or less, it seems paradoxical that
they propose a budget of $31,600. Even after a rigorous trim-ming,
the budget granted under the present system would ex-ceed
the maximum sum that could possibly be received under
a system of student fees, as well as leave room for year to
year expansion.
Unless the $31,600 requested by the senate is far more
than they really need, the senate will have to demonstrate
to the student body that they can operate within a budget of
$25,000 or less, without shortchanging their constituents. They
should also show some evidence that, short of raising the stu-dent
fee, money can be obtained to meet advancing expenses
in succeeding years. Otherwise, the financial autonomy amend-ment
would seem to be outdated before it could even go into
The second major vulnerable spot in the proposed senate
budget is the matter of stipends for student body executives.
The total allocated for these stipends marks a 400% increase
over the current year. At the same time, a small increase in

You can expect to read this news story in the December
26 Chicago Tribune:
Police and National Guardsmen early this morning sub-dued
a portly hippie and a small group of hooved animals on
the roof of Mayor Richard J. Daley's home in the Bridgeport of
Chicago. The middle-aged anarchist carried no papers but iden-tified
himself as "S. Claus."
He was apprehended while trying to force entry into the
mayor's house via the chimney. Claus sported a full, bushy
beard similar to that favored by beat poet Allen Ginsberg.
He was wearing black combat boots, a bright-red Mao-type
suit and a conical red stocking cap in the style worn by
terrorists in the French revolution. (Red, of course, is the color
traditionally symbolizing the International Communist move-ment.)
Claus has been charged with loitering, disorderly conduct,
being a suspicious person having no visible means of support,
disturbing the peace, creating a public nuisance, trespassing,
breaking and entering, resisting arrest, assaulting an officer
and harboring unvaccinated pets.
After being apprehended, Claus was taken to Michael
Reese Hospital, where a spokesman reported that he was treated
for a possible concussion, multiple skull fractures, broken
arms and legs, internal bleeding, lacerations, dog-bite wounds
on both buttocks, human bite on right ear, tear-gas inhalation
and temporary blindness attributed to an overdose of chemical
Police said that minimum force was used in subduing the
suspect, but that while Claus was being advised of his constitu-tional
rights, he slipped on the icy roof and injured himself.
Still shrouded in mystery are the contents of a large,
hippie-style tote bag that Claus was attempting to shove into
the mayor's chimney when he was arrested. The bag was im-mediately
impounded by members of the city's bomb squad,
who are now engaged in the slow process of dismantling—and
possibly deactivating—the contents.
Arresting officers said the sack seemed to contain a number
of small and potentially dangerous objects, cleverly disguised
as gifts. Among the objects seen were water pistols, baseballs,
bats, and motorcycle helmets. Claus was reported as saying
these are "children's toys;" but—as was apparent in the con-vention
riots last summer—they could easily be used against
the police.
At the conclusion of a press conference, Claus slowly and
defiantly placed a finger next to his nose—in what was ob-viously
intended as an obscene gesture—and sarcastically de-clared:
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night."
—Excerpted from December Playboy
Chi-town's cops have been taking in on the chin lately,
but their actions were supported by this quotation from a fam-ous
"The streets of our country are in turmoil. The universities
are full of students rebelling and rioting. Communists are
seeking to destroy our country. Russia is threatening us with
her might and the Republic is in danger.
"Yes, danger from within and danger from without. We
need law and order. Without law and order our nation cannot
"Elect us and we shall restore law and order. We will be
respected by the nations of the world for law and order. With-out
law and order, our Republic will fall."

the stipend for SPIRE editor, no increase for CLARION editor,
and no increase for publication staffs were proposed.
The problem is that such distribution is simply not equit-able.
Certainly a good case could be made for large stipends
for executive positions; an even better one could be made for
increased stipends for students working on publications.
It seems terribly provincial to prescribe a 400% increase
(from a total of $825 to $3,300) in stipends for positions repre-sented
among the students who drew up the budget request,
while the stipends set for positions which were not represented
in actual shaping of the budget are left nearly untouched. And
from a purely political vantage point, it also seems somewhat
unwise for the advocates of senate financial autonomy to dras-tically
inflate stipends for executive positions.
Students should question their senate representatives about
these apparent weaknesses in the proposed budget. The senate
should be able to justify their
budget, including the amounts
appropriated for particular it-ems,
and it is up to their con-stituents
to see that they do. from page 1
Noting that Bethel had finished
in the black last year, Held said
that a similar feat this year would
be somewhat more difficult since
the college missed its quota of
students for enrollment, reducing
its income from that source. The
delay in the completion of the Ar-den
Hills dormitory was also sin-gled
out as a big item hurting op-erating

Slumping Royals face Hamline
by Jim Youngquist
The Royals, fighting off a long slump, will attempt
to find victory against Hamline this evening. The
game will be played at home where thus far the
team has had little luck.
Bethel will go into the game with a 2-7 record,
hoping to snap a six game losing skid. After their
loss to Carleton Tuesday, Hamline had three wins
against an equal number of setbacks. They have, like
Bethel had an up-and-down season.
Losing to River Falls in their. opener Hamline won
their next two with victories over UMD and Sioux
Falls. Against St. Mary's, Hamline fell apart scoring
a mere 46 points. Edging Augsburg 60-58 brought
their record to 3-2.
Leading the visitors will be 6'7" center Dave Pol-son.
With performances of 11, 23, 24, 11, and 19
points thus far, Poison is averaging 17.6 points a
game. Much of Bethel's success will depend upon
how successfully they can stop the big man. Another
player expected to give the Royals trouble is forward
Dale Alberts.
Bethel will enter the game as definite underdogs.
A factor to consider is that Hamline has defeated
Sioux Falls while the Royals were dumped by the
same team at home. Also the Royals are in a deep
slump. Favoring Bethel will be the home court advan-tage
which thus far has meant little.
Coach Schultz of Hamline admitted his team has
had its slumps also this year. As did Macalester's
coach, Shultz had high praise for Ron Pederson. In
reference to tonight's game he said, "Any team that
has a player like Pederson has a good chance to
Last week the Royals were given a slight edge over
Macalester. The final score showed Mac 104 to Beth-el's
53. In accordance with this and the records of
both teams thus far, Hamline must be given an edge
tonight. If, however, the Royals can stop Poison and
play a scrappy defense, an upset is possible.

Hey man. You must've noticed that I sent you an invitation to the World Government group. Our aim is to improve the overall quality of the PH section. I'd like you to consider joining us. What do you think?
fight me bitch
It's so confusing - you're literally the best poster in PH but nobody ever mentions you in the inner circles?
You have 14 visitor messages - do you exclusively come by TMF to post about OP? And not get involved in any other silly stuff? You're a pretty private guy.

Federal and state regulators have issued their approval for the merger of The Martha's Vineyard Co-operative Bank and Dukes County Savings Bank.
The combined bank, to be named the Martha's Vineyard Savings Bank, will continue to be mutually owned and locally based, with more than $460 million in assets.
The merger will become effective for customers over Veterans Day weekend, Nov. 10 to 12, when the two banking operations will be united.
At that time, Dukes County Savings Bank's West Tisbury office will be closed and consolidated into the West Tisbury branch of the Martha's Vineyard Co-operative Bank. Dukes County Financial Group, the trust and asset management division of Dukes County Savings Bank, will be renamed Martha's Vineyard Financial Group.
Beginning Tuesday, Nov. 13, all customers may begin using any of the bank's remaining eight branches and its Islandwide ATM network, as well as the ATM located in the Woods Hole ferry terminal.
All deposits will remain insured by a combination of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the Depositors Insurance Fund.
No layoffs are anticipated as a result of this combination. Branch staff will be gradually intermingled to provide continuity and familiarity for customers in all locations.
"Following the Veterans Day weekend operational merger, customers will be able to use their existing checks, ATM cards and online and telephone banking services, just as they always have," said Richard Leonard, who will serve as chief operating officer of Martha's Vineyard Savings Bank.
"The handful of customers requiring new checks are being personally contacted by bank representatives who will complete the transition for them at no cost," Mr. Leonard said.
Chris Wells who will serve as president of Martha's Vineyard Savings Bank, said: "Customers of the combined bank will begin enjoying the benefits of this merger immediately. Co-operative Bank customers will now have access to branches in Edgartown and Chilmark, as well as the services offered by the Martha's Vineyard Financial Group."
All existing bank phone numbers will remain in place. The new bank's Web site address will be mvbank.com. The site will also remain accessible for the foreseeable future under the old Dukes County Web address, dukesbank.com.
