New Drake Law School And Iowa State University Program Lets Students Complete Undergrad, Law Degrees in 6 Years
Students at Iowa State University will be able to earn their undergraduate and law degrees in six, rather than seven, years under an innovative new partnership between Iowa State and the Drake Law School. Developed and managed by the ISU College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the program allows students to enter Law School in their fourth year and use the credits earned in their first year of Law School to complete their undergraduate studies.
via Drake Law School – News & Events.
This represents a great opportunity for students headed to Iowa State with an eye towards getting a JD. While students are not guaranteed acceptance in Drake Law, those that make it will receive a $5000 annual renewable scholarship. The goal is to provide more lawyers to serve rural Iowa.
More law schools should be looking at programs like this not only as a way to help students control costs but also as a way to help those interested in serving under served communities.

Raspberry Pi Sales Reach The Two Million Mark
Based on the sales of the first year, the Raspberry Pi Foundation had expected to hit the second million around January 2014 — or later — so was pleasantly surprised (to say the least) to discover the 2,000,000th Raspberry Pi was actually sold in the last week of October.
via Crack out the champagne — Raspberry Pi sales hit the two million mark.
The Raspberry Pi is an excellent little computer and everyone interested in computers (that means all of you Teknoids out there) needs to get one. It is an excellent tool for learning programming, learning about Linux, prototyping interesting things, and more. Properly decked out with a case, USB power supply, and wifi adapter it’ll set you back less than $100. Put it on your Christmas list, or cut out the lattes for a month. You’ll be glad you did.
