Reminder:  the Individual Project pages are due by 5 p.m. Saturday, October 25.  The version submitted to the Dropbox in pdf format will be graded, with a separate "attendance" grade for having it published as a WEB page on Google Documents, shared with me (at tedgoertzel@gmail.com) and linked from your group page on Google Documents.   Please read the instructions and follow them carefully.
There will be two quizzes this week, the highest score on either quiz will count toward your grade.  Both quizzes will cover the readings below, but not all of the items will be the same.  Your highest score on either of the quizzes will count.

      Quiz Two will close 10 a.m. on Friday, October 31
