Rob Henry lost a chance at the starting quarterback job in 2011 after he tore his ACL a week before the season-opener. Now, two seasons later, the senior has reclaimed the job.
Henry was named Purdue's starting quarterback Sunday by first-year coach Darrell Hazell, a move that will likely be both popular in the locker room -- Henry was named a co-captain before tearing his knee in that season -- and makes sense with the Boilermakers' schedule.
Flat out, Henry gives Purdue the best chance to be successful early in the season, with trips to Cincinnati and Wisconsin in the first month of the season along with home games against No. 14 Notre Dame and Northern Illinois, which reached the Orange Bowl last season.
To ask a freshman (Danny Etling) or a redshirt freshman (Austin Appleby) to handle that rough early schedule could destroy a young quarterback's confidence, let alone his team's belief in him. By going with Henry, who has had a strong preseason anyway, it gives the Boilermakers a seasoned leader to look to.
In Henry, Purdue also has a quarterback who understands what it is like to lose his starting job and not be able to reclaim it, as former coach Danny Hope chose to go with then-seniors Robert Marve and Caleb TerBush. TerBush had won the job when Henry tore his ACL two years ago.
Now back as the starter, he'll be looked to as the stopgap for a team which will be learning Hazell's new offense while also setting an example for his replacement a year from now. He is the perfect player to be in this position, considering he won the team's unselfishness and dedication award in 2010 and even made a run at becoming Purdue's student body vice president.
Having even moved positions for the good of his team, Henry is now back where he started his career -- running the Boilermakers' offense as their quarterback.

gprs/gsm? maybe in europe but that 10 year old technology sucks! cdma 2000/1x is the way to go in north america! i guess its typical of mac to use old and outdated technology, never up to date. verizon wireless, telus/bell mobility largest wireless providers in the u.s. and canada! why settle for second best? i guess with mac you have to! – by gsm/gprs a joke!

hey, isnt this the mac section? i must have read it wrong. ohhh, my mistake. i've stumbled into the "why pcs are better" section.
get a life you fucking loser. better yet…get a mac.
my dick is bigger – by tool
|not just europe (12:17pm est wed dec 04 2002)
here in l.a. the most reliable pcs services are gsm. sprint and others have had a hard time finding acceptable locations for new cdma/tdma towers. either way, it's only a mildly newsworhy item. the more interesting thing is that no matter how trivial a mac news item is, some jackass will eventually come along and try to flame the mac.

|mac number 1 (11:22pm est wed jan 25 2006)
apple does not use old technology they weere the first to widly use and support usb among other things. anyway in the us it is easier to get a connection using older technology in high density areas were equipment has not been upgraded – by david

Sony's sales and why they might not be so impressive
There have been several reports that Sony is having a very successful PS3 Slim rollout. Popular games blog, Kotaku, noted that the redesigned PS3 sold more units in Japan in the first three days following the relaunch (150,252) than it did back in November 2006 when it was originally released. It sold 88,000 units in two days but there were issues with supply levels at launch, so not everyone who wanted one could get their hand on one.
The more interesting PS3 story came from VG247 courtesy of Chart-Track director, Dorian Bloch, who claimed that UK-based PS3 sales in financial week 36 were up over 999% on the week prior. This is a story which has snowballed and appeared in several other places. Great news for Sony. Or is it?
On the surface the 999% or 1000% sales boost seems impressive but this has to be seen in the harsh reality that very few people were likely to be buying the older PS3 model when the new slimmer model was about to be launched at a reduced price. It's not hard to see why a huge sales spike may occur when very few units were being sold in the week prior - but it makes for great headlines!
What is also unclear is exactly how many of these purchases were by new customers. Many existing PS3 owners have expressed an interest in trading their older machines in for the new model (the local GAME store where I live was accepting a trade-in deal of one 80gb PS3 plus two games and £60 cash for a new slimmer PS3).
This might not be so great for Sony after all. Sony are still producing the PS3 slim at a loss and require customers to purchase software in order to offset these losses. If they are selling lots of new units to existing customers who already own plenty software then they are unlikely to profit dramatically from these impressive sales figures. Also, Sony get no financial gain from the second hand hardware or software market. The more new customers the PS3 redesign attracts, the healthier Sony's bank balance.
It's understandable that Sony would want to view its new product launch as a success, given that the PS3 languishes in third place in the console hardware sales. It's also no surprise that Sony has announced a massive ad campaign to push its new hardware in the Christmas run in (with a campaign budget of £82 million!). Whether or not the PS3 proves to be the success that Sony needs it to be remains to be seen, especially since it experienced its first full year loss in fourteen years.
How many filesharers?
The other attention-grabbing (and more worrying) story that warrants a little exploration involves the claim that 7 million UK residents are file sharing criminals. This figure is one which has been around for some time now. The BBC ran a report back in May which cited the figure in a government-backed report. The report was issued by the Strategic Advisory Board for Intellectual Property (SABIP) and can be found on their site (.pdf here). Intellectual Property Minister David Lammy said the report put into context the impact illegal downloads had on copyright industries and the UK economy as a whole.
This figure of 7 million criminals is quite catching, seems precise and scientific and has helped perpetuate the notion of digital criminality amongst UK web users. It was also calculated that these file-sharers had access to £12 billion worth of free content. It has also helped keep file-sharing and its supposed criminality in the media spotlight in recent weeks - something Lord Mandelson has been using to great effect in his attempt to lobby for hard-hitting punitive measures against file-sharers.
Credit needs to be given to the BBC who took a second look at that figure of 7 million and decided to see if they could locate its origin, following an enquiry from the audience of the BBC Radio 4 show, "More or Less".
The figure may have been reported in a government document, but it's not a government figure. It transpired that the government commissioned a report from the CIBER research group at University College London, which contained the number. The CIBER report mentioned the figure four times. However, the figure actually came from yet another report from consultancy firm, Forrester. It doesn't end there. The Forrester report doesn't actually contain the 7 million figure despite the CIBER citation. The figure actually comes from a different piece of research called the Jupiter Industry Losses Project, which was an industry funded (BPI) attempt to gauge P2P use and the related losses produced by such internet use.
That's right. The official sounding figure cited by the government-backed report actually came from the British recording industry which has a vested interest in putting a figure on its losses at the hands of P2P users so that it can then lobby government to change policies and laws favourable to the industries interests. That explains why Lord Mandleson has been so anti-P2P in recent weeks...
It gets worse. The actual report was never published publicly and the industry declined to pass it over to the BBC but they managed to get in touch with Mark Mulligan, one of the report's authors, who revealed some interesting methodological assumptions. The report estimates that there are 6.7 million illegal file-sharers in the UK. It arrived at this figure when multiplying the total number of Internet users in the UK (estimated at 40 million by the report despite the UK government putting the figure at 33.9 million) against the percentage of the population engaged in file-sharing.
As for the estimate of the piracy percentage, that comes from a 2008 survey of 1,176 UK households. The survey actually found that 11.6 % of respondents admitted to using file-sharing software, but this figure was inflated to 16.3 % to account for "under-reporting". It's not quite clear how this figure was arrived at but it was based on the assumption that some respondents would lie about their P2P use, and Mulligan claims to it be 'based on evidence'.
The differences between these figures are staggering and produce vastly different results. If the lower figures are used instead it transpires that only 3.93 million UK residents are criminals, not 7 million.
And finally...
What does this all mean? Can we actually trust the figures used by goverenemtn and industry alike? As Nate Anderson (over at Ars Technica) puts it:
"The problem isn't that such calculations are done; they can serve as useful tools for industries and even for policymakers. But problems develop when the numbers are ripped from their original, provisional context by repetition and citation, eventually taking on the force of Fact. When such "facts" end up being used to make policy, the problems are compounded."Statistics and facts are not always what they seem. Ben Goldacre, author of Bad Science and regular Guardian writer, puts it slightly differently:
"As far as I'm concerned, everything from this industry is false, until proven otherwise"I'm inclined to agree, but there is a worrying point to these examples of misreported statistics and over-inflated figures. If they go unchecked, they become powerful rhetorical strategies that can gain momentum and if repeated enough times in the right places can take on the appearance of 'truth' from which it is only 'common sense' to act accordingly. I wonder how successful the new PS3 actually is and are shareholders seeing the benefit of increased sales? Does this equate to more inward investment in the technology at both the software and hardware levels, and does this bring benefits to the end user? Can we really believe the figures bandied around by the recording industry and what are the consequences if they are not contested? Who benefits from being disconnected from the internet on the back of wild exaggerations?

I adore green onion pancakes but they usually require you to create dough, which needs to be kneaded, rested, and then rolled out. At JoyFoodly, I'm always looking for ways to simplify recipes for families. Really, this is the only way anyone who is busy can joyfully recreate a favorite recipe time and again. For this savory and delicious green onion pancake, I've found a way I think you'll love that's quick and seriously yummy.
It all starts with the star of the pancake, the green onion batter. For this recipe, my shortcut is my always on-hand Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Pancake Mix. You can whip this batter up in no time. I especially love to get kids involved with measuring ingredients and stirring the batter.
The other thing I love about this pancake batter is that it can take quite a bit of green onions, so if you're also looking for a way to really use up a lot of them (or just love green onions!), feel free to overstuff and top these beauties for extra crunch. If you're not sure how to cut or prep green onions, here's a quick video we've put together for our Joyful 12 Kitchen Learning Lab that will help make your prep just a little more joyful:
Here's to your family having some fun in the kitchen on this Meatless Monday. Don't forget to add a little drizzle of sauce to kick up the fun one extra notch!
PS: We thought the sour cream on top could be optional but we highly recommend it not be!
Tips to help your kids love Savory Green Onion Pancakes
We include tips like this in all of the recipes in our online kitchen learning lab, the Joyful 12! Learn more here.
- Get them involved: Making batter is a great lesson for kids in the kitchen. Show them how to accurately measure ingredients and why this is important. Have them help you incorporate the dry and the wet ingredients and learn when the batter is the right consistency (not too thick but not too runny)
- Be a food explorer: People eat pancakes all over the world! In France, they eat thinner pancakes called crepes. Here, we are making a savory vs. sweet pancake. Ask your child what they think about savory pancakes.
- Taste your creation: It's fun to make one pancake from the batter and have your child help you taste test it. Do you want to add more green onions to it, or maybe more Chinese five spice? Then, when you've finished cooking them all, you'll already know your child likes them because you involved them in making them and tasting them!
Savory Green Onion Pancakes
Serving size: 4 | Prep time: 15 minutes | Cooking time: 20 minutes
- 1 bunch Green Onions
- 1-1/2 cups Pancake Mix (we use Bob's Red Mill® Gluten Free)
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup Coconut Milk
- 2 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1/2 tsp Chinese Five Spice
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 3 Tbsp Coconut Oil or Vegetable Oil
- Sour Cream, optional topping
Sauce to Drizzle
- 2 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1-1/2 tsp Rice Wine Vinegar
- 1 tsp Tamari (Gluten Free Soy Sauce)
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 pinch Hot Pepper Flakes
Note on Substitutions: you can use soy or almond milk in place of coconut milk, and vegetable oil in place of coconut oil.
Get Organized:
1. Take 5 minutes to get out all your ingredients, measuring and cooking equipment needed, and place them on a cookie sheet within easy reach.
2. Make the sauce that can be drizzled on top of pancakes by combining all ingredients in a bowl and stirring together.
3. Cut the green onions into small discs. Set aside a few green tops to be used to sprinkle over pancakes when you serve them.
4. Preheat oven to 325F, to keep cooked pancakes warm while you finish cooking all the batter.
To Cook:
1. In a bowl beat the egg together with the coconut milk and sesame oil.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the Chinese five spice and salt with the pancake four.
3. Add the pancake flour and spices to the egg mixture gradually, stirring to combine.
4. Stir in the cut green onions into the batter.
5. In a nonstick pan, heat enough coconut oil in the pan to just cover the bottom of the pan.
6. Use a spoon to place 1-2 pancakes into the pan. Cook over medium-high heat. Look for bubbles on the outside of the pancakes. Flip and cook another minute.
7. Hold finished pancakes in a warm oven on a cookie sheet.
8. Serve with a dollop of sour cream (optional but yummy), extra green onions, and the sauce on the side, which can be drizzled over.
