PHILADELPHIA — A new study from Penn Medicine epidemiologists that looked at four years of bed bug reports to the city of Philadelphia found that infestations have been increasing and were at their highest in August and lowest in February. The findings, published ahead of print on January 8 in the Journal of Medical Entomology, point to two possible peak times to strike and eliminate the bugs.
"There is surprisingly very little known about seasonal trends among bed bug populations," said Michael Z. Levy, PhD, assistant professor in the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics (CCEB), who mapped the bed bug hotspots in Philadelphia in an effort to find more effective ways to control them. "We found a steep and significant seasonal cycle in bed bug reporting, and suspect that bed bugs have different levels of mobility depending on the season, and that their population size may fluctuate throughout the year."
Warm weather could be a driver for migration to other homes and breeding, he said. "We may be able to exploit this cycle: These seasonal trends could guide control programs to help reduce a city's growing bug population," he added.
To track the spatial and temporal patterns of the bugs, Levy and colleagues, including first author Tarub S. Mabud, analyzed calls to the Philadelphia Department of Public Health's Vector Control Services between 2008 and 2012. They then mapped the phone calls to get a clearer picture of the problem—when and where it was happening.
Reports came from all across the city, though south Philadelphia was the most affected by the bugs.
Overall, bed bug reports in the city steadily increased by 4.5 percent per month from 2008 to 2011, an almost 70 percent increase year to year. Nearly half of all pest infestations reported to the city over that time period were for bed bugs, a total of 382. From September 2011 to June 2012, Philadelphia residents made 236 reports of bed bug infestations, according to the study.
Infestations peaked in August and reached a low in February, the team found.
They most likely move more frequently during warmer months, with increased development and reproduction happening as well, the team surmises.
The next question is to determine if people should strike when the iron is hot—or cold.
"We know the bug reports fluctuate over the year—what we need to figure out now is whether to treat when they are at their worst, in the summer months, or whether to wait until their numbers are down in the winter." Levy said. "Seasonality, we noticed, is just one attribute that can eventually aid control measures, but it is one of many attributes we hope to uncover."
While bed bugs likely migrate actively (i.e. crawl) over short distances, perhaps between adjacent rooms or houses, it's likely they are starting new infestation hotspots throughout the city by riding on people or personal effects over longer distances, said Mabud.
The study is part of a larger, ongoing pilot study in Philadelphia aiming to come up with safer, cheaper and more effective ways to control bed bugs in an urban setting. These findings have led Levy and his team to south Philadelphia, where surveillance, tracking and treatment methods have begun.
Levy is also looking to his ongoing work in Peru, where the triatomine bug, a giant, often deadly insect has pervaded major cities. The bug carries the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi that causes Chagas disease, which can lead to fatal heart failure. Penn, along with its partner institution in Peru, Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, was recently awarded $3 million by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease to conduct a five-year study to improve the control of Chagas disease in the city of Arequipa.
"In Peru, the Ministry of Health has been able to eliminate the insects from tens of thousands of people's homes," Levy said. "Bed bugs are different, and in many ways more difficult to control. Still, my team is hoping to translate what works there for Philadelphia."
Mabud recently graduated from Penn's Roy and Diana Vagelos Program in Life Sciences and Management. Other co-authors from the CCEB include Alexis M. Barbarin, Corentin M. Barbu, and Katelyn H. Levy, and Jason Edinger from Vector Control Services. The study received support from Penn's University Research Fund.
Penn Medicine is one of the world's leading academic medical centers, dedicated to the related missions of medical education, biomedical research, and excellence in patient care. Penn Medicine consists of the Raymond and Ruth Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania (founded in 1765 as the nation's first medical school) and the University of Pennsylvania Health System, which together form a $4.3 billion enterprise.
The Perelman School of Medicine has been ranked among the top five medical schools in the United States for the past 16 years, according to U.S. News & World Report's survey of research-oriented medical schools. The School is consistently among the nation's top recipients of funding from the National Institutes of Health, with $398 million awarded in the 2012 fiscal year.
The University of Pennsylvania Health System's patient care facilities include: The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania — recognized as one of the nation's top "Honor Roll" hospitals by U.S. News & World Report; Penn Presbyterian Medical Center; Chester County Hospital; Penn Wissahickon Hospice; and Pennsylvania Hospital — the nation's first hospital, founded in 1751. Additional affiliated inpatient care facilities and services throughout the Philadelphia region include Chestnut Hill Hospital and Good Shepherd Penn Partners, a partnership between Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network and Penn Medicine.
Penn Medicine is committed to improving lives and health through a variety of community-based programs and activities. In fiscal year 2012, Penn Medicine provided $827 million to benefit our community.

Arvest Bank was recognized twice at the 28th Annual Arkansas Small Business Awards Luncheon on Thursday, May 10, in Little Rock. The awards were announced by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) last month, and last week's event was hosted by the Arkansas State Chamber of Commerce.
Arvest was named the Arkansas Top SBA Lender in terms of both number of loans and dollars loaned. Brett Ausley, business banking manager for Arvest in central Arkansas, accepted the award on behalf of the bank.
"Participating with the SBA is a wonderful tool for many of our customers, and we are grateful those customers trust Arvest to help them with these transactions," Ausley said. "We also want people to know that while we are proud of our past successes helping small businesses, it is something we are putting an even greater emphasis on as we move forward."
The awards were based on SBA data for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2017. It marked the fourth consecutive year Arvest ranked as the state's No. 1 SBA lender based on its number of 7(a) loan approvals.
SBA 7(a) loans are its primary means for helping startup and existing small businesses deal with a variety of general business purposes, and volume climbed to a record amount – more than $25 billion – in 2017, according to Bill Manger, associate administrator at the SBA's Office of Capital Access.
Arvest remains an SBA-preferred lender, meaning the process is streamlined for applicants. Small business owners who need to explore financing options should talk to an SBA-approved lender who can offer them a complete range of available options.
Submitted questions will be answered by an Arvest banker and may appear on the Arvest Blog.
All Arvest banks are Equal Housing Lenders and Member FDIC.
Investment products and services are provided by Arvest Investments, Inc., doing business as Arvest Asset Management, member FINRA/SIPC, an SEC registered investment adviser and a subsidiary of Arvest Bank. Trust services are provided by Arvest Bank. Insurance products are made available through Arvest Insurance, Inc., which is registered as an insurance agency.

Photo Tip: DIY Bokeh Filter
Bokeh is the artistic use of out-of-focus backlight to highlight the subject of your photo. With a little creativity - and a simple, do-it-yourself (DIY) filter - you can create shaped bokeh for a "wow" effect. The following photos and steps walk you through creating a DIY filter. Change the shape depending on the holiday or occasion for a variety of effects.
Creating a DIY Bokeh Filter
1. Cut a cardstock strip; wrap around camera's lens to create a sleeve. Adhere cardstock strip so it slides on and off the lens.
2. Cut cardstock circle same size as lens sleeve.
3. Punch or cut shape in center of cardstock circle.
Note: If you don't have a punch for the shape you want, print a clipart shape that you can cut and trace onto the cardstock circle.
4. Adhere cardstock circle to cardstock sleeve. Cover all edges with tape, such as electrical tape, to ensure light does not seep between circle's edge and sleeve.
When ready to take photos, slide the sleeve onto your camera's lens.
There are many tutorials on camera settings to use when shooting bokeh. A quick search of the internet will provide several options.

sverona needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 38 designs submitted by 25 freelance designers.
I want the name to be the dominant part of the logo. It needs to be very legible since it will appear on the web, in print, and on billboards.
Desired Color Scheme:
green, blue and burgundy
Desired Style:
clean and ledgible. make the words an integral part of the logo
Accepted File Formats:
Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
I prefer to use colors including blue, green and burgundy. The logo should be designed to work well with a white background. It also needs to be effective in black and white as well as color. The logo will be featured on the AdviceFromALawyer.com web site, on billboards, in magazine ads, and in newspapers. The logo should treat the words as if they are all together with the .com at the end, AdviceFromALawyer. Use capitalization and design techniques to make the combined words easy to read. I would not use colors to separate the words since this will not translate well into black and white.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Black Delivery Driver Humiliated by a Hanging Noose & Racial Epithets; Management Failed to Stop It, Federal Agency Charges
LAS VEGAS - Electrical distributor Wedco, Inc. violated federal law by subjecting a black delivery driver to racial harassment and discrimination, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today against the family-run business based in Reno, Nev.
According to the EEOC, the delivery driver was exposed to a visible noose hanging in the receiving area since he began working for Wedco in 2007 at the Reno location. The EEOC further charges that a warehouse lead and receiving clerk - both white - continually ridiculed the driver due to his race with derogatory comments and jokes, often referring to the driver as a "n---r." Although the driver reported the noose and the verbal harassment to a manager, no action was allegedly taken to stop or deal with the harassment.
In addition, the delivery driver - the only black employee at the time - was treated differently in that he was denied breaks, forced to ask permission to use the restroom and had his schedule intentionally interrupted by his supervisor. Ultimately, the EEOC said, the insurmountable harassment and discrimination forced the driver to quit in 2008.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada (EEOC v. Wedco, Inc., Case No. 3:12-cv-00523) after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The EEOC's suit seeks back pay and compensatory and punitive damages for the driver as well as injunctive relief intended to prevent further discrimination and harassment at the company.
"Racial epithets and nooses have no place in the workplace in this day and age," said Anna Park, regional attorney for the EEOC's Los Angeles District, whose jurisdiction includes southern Nevada. "The EEOC is here to help those who continue to face such obstacles as they try to earn a living."
Olophius Perry, district director for the EEOC's Los Angeles District, added, "Employers that ignore complaints of racial harassment often exacerbate an already bad situation. Federal law requires that employers, and particularly managers as their representatives, heed such complaints and take immediate and corrective action to effectively address the problem. Failure to do so sends the wrong signals to the harassed employee, the harasser, and the workplace as a whole. "
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

In this lesson, working as a developer at design time, you will enhance the WebCenter portal application you constructed in the previous lesson and learn how to create a new JSF page template and register that template as a portal resource.
To achieve that goal, you will need to create the page template, then extract the setup files provided with this Tutorial from a folder residing on your hard drive. The folder contains a batch of files with graphic images, skins and templates. You will then copy these files to their respective folders in your application project and replace the existing
swooshy page template, with a new page template that is provided.
In the last step, you will register the new template and customize the site template, adding new images and a new skin to your portal application. When you run the application in a web browser, you will see a new home page with a new skin applied at runtime.
This lesson contains the following steps:
Step 2: Extract Setup Files and Replace the Existing Template
Step 3: Create Portal Resources and Apply the New Template and Skin
Before you begin the steps in this lesson, ensure you have followed the steps up to this point in the Tutorial.
To extend the capabilities of our portal application, we need to create a new page template.
Note that in this step, we won't build a new JSF page template from scratch. But rather, we'll rely on a pre-configured, ready-made template which, following the steps in this lesson, you will extract into your application. To ensure that the template artifacts are correctly registered inside the application, we will create an empty template and then replace it with the one provided in the Tutorial Setup file.
You can use page templates to control the layout of your portal. A page template is a JSPX file that specifies the look and feel of your portal's pages. The template defines header, footer, content, and navigation regions within the page. You can apply the template to any number of pages, resulting in a consistent look and feel.
Tip:The template is linked or referenced from the pages, so if you change the template, those changes are reflected on all the pages in your portal application.
For more information about page templates, see "Understanding Pages, Page Templates, and the Portal Page Hierarchy" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle WebCenter Portal.
To create a new page template in our portal application:
In the Application Navigator of your portal application project, navigate to the page templates folder (
/oracle/webcenter/portalapp/pagetemplates) and right-click the folder and choose New.
A New Gallery dialog appears, as shown in Figure 4-1.
In the New Gallery, expand Web Tier, select JSF and then JSF Page Template, and click OK.
Figure 4-1 The JSF Page Template Selected in the New Gallery
In the Create JSF Page Template dialog (Figure 4-2), in the File Name field, enter the name for the JSPX file that represents the page template, in this case
The file name identifies the page template in the Application Navigator.
Figure 4-2 The Create JSF Page Template
In the Directory field (Figure 4-2), enter the full directory path of the location under which to create the page template.
In the Page Template Name field (Figure 4-2), enter the display name for the page template, in this case
Click OK to create the template.
Navigate in the Application Navigator to the
pagetemplates folder, select
myTemplate.jspx, then right-click the Go to Page Definition menu item, as shown in Figure 4-3.
Figure 4-3 Creating a New Page Definition for the myTemplate.jspx File
When the dialog Confirm Create New Page Definition appears (Figure 4-4), click Yes.
Figure 4-4 The Confirm Create New Page Definition Dialog
Tip:A page definition file is an
XML file that specifies ADF bindings, page parameters, and permission settings. Various mappings and bindings used by pages and page templates are also specified. In this case, the
myTemplatePageDef.xml file specifies the task flow for navigation rendering of the site, as well as parameters defining site structure paths.
Application Sources folder is primarily a repository for page definition files, like the
myTemplatePageDef.xml file, as well as for source code in a project.
Verify that the
myTemplatePageDef.xml file now resides in the Application Sources sub folder
pagetemplates, as shown in Figure 4-5.
Figure 4-5 The myTemplatePageDef xml File in the Portal Application Sources Directory
By associating a page definition with the page template, you will be able to include model objects, such as task flows and portlets, in the page template. Users can also switch to a different page template at runtime, if they choose.
It's important to note that within your portal application, page templates must either all have associated page definitions or none have associated page definitions. The reason for this is that if you have a combination of page templates with and without associated page definitions, users won't be able to switch templates at runtime.
For more information about templates and skins, see "Designing the Look and Feel of Your Portal" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle WebCenter Portal.
Now you want to extract the provided Tutorial setup files from a folder (
owcs-r11ps3-devtutsetup-254761.zip) that resides on your local hard drive and then move those files to the appropriate folders in the WebCenter Portal application.
If you have not yet downloaded these Tutorial setup files, as described in Step 6: Download the Sample Tutorial Files, do so now. You can download the files from your web browser. The files are available at this URL address:
To extract the setup files and place them in the correct location in your newly created application in JDeveloper:
To begin with, you need to copy the
owcs-r11ps3-devtutsetup-254761.zip file onto your hard drive in the directory of your choosing, and then proceed to unzip the files and extract their contents, as described in the following steps.
On your local drive navigate to, for example,
Four folders reside in that directory: images, skins, templates, and UCM Content, as shown in Figure 4-6. Note that the UCM Content folder contains content that you need to upload to a UCM content repository, as discussed in Step 6: Download the Sample Tutorial Files.
Figure 4-6 The Images, Skins, Templates, and UCM Content Folders for Setup Residing on Your Local Hard Drive
Extract the contents of the
images folder (Figure 4-7) and move those contents to the
MyApplication/Portal/public_html/images folder in your portal application.
Figure 4-7 The Expanded Images Folder in the Tutorial Setup Directory
Repeat the same procedure for contents of the
skins folder (Figure 4-8), moving those contents to the
MyPortalApplication/Portal/public_html/oracle/webcenter/portalapp/skins/ folder in your portal application. Note that the extracted skin is a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) document.
Figure 4-8 Expanded Skins Folder in the Tutorial Setup Directory
Repeat again the same procedure for the contents of the
templates folder (Figure 4-9), moving those contents to two separate locations, in this case moving the
myTemplate.jspx template to the
MyPortalApplication/Portal/public_html/oracle/webcenter/portalapp/pagetemplates/ folder and the
myTemplatePageDef.xml to the
MyPortalApplication/Portal/adfmsrc/oracle/webcenter/portalapp/pagetemplates folder.
Figure 4-9 Expanded Templates Folder in the Tutorial Setup Directory
Now select the Portal folder at the top level of your Project and click the Refresh icon in JDeveloper (not your web browser). This will refresh and save each of the folders whose contents you have extracted and copied to your portal application in JDeveloper, as shown in Figure 4-10.
myTemplatePageDef.xml file now resides in the
pagetemplates folder.
Figure 4-10 The Portal Hierarchy Refreshed to Include the Extracted Files for Setup
Once you refresh the page templates and skins folders in your portal application, the copied files,
myTemplate.jspx and
tutorial-skin.css, appear in their respective folders, as shown in Figure 4-11.
Figure 4-11 The myTemplate.jspx file and tutorial-skin.css File in the Portal Project Folders
Close the Portal
Application Sources folders and navigate to the
webcenter folder in your project directory.
In this next sequence of steps, you will create a portal resource at design time to customize both the site template and apply the newly provided tutorial skin.
Open the
webcenter folder in your portal project and navigate to the
pagetemplates folder in the directory.
Select the
myTemplate.jspx file and right-click the file.
Select the Create Portal Resource menu item, shown in Figure 4-12.
Figure 4-12 The Create Portal Resource Menu Item for the myTemplate.jspx File
In the Create Portal Resource dialog, enter in the Display Name field
My Site Template (Figure 4-13) and click OK.
Figure 4-13 The Create Portal Resource Dialog with the Display Name Specified as My Site Template
Navigate to the
skins folder and open it. Select the
tutorial-skin file and right-click the Create Portal Resource menu item, as performed in the previous step.
Change the Display Name to
Tutorial Skin, and in the Skin Family field, enter
mycustomskin, as shown in Figure 4-14.
Figure 4-14 The Update Portal Resource Dialog with mycustomskin Specified as Skin Family Attribute
Click OK.
Click the Refresh button in the Application Navigator to refresh the contents of the skins folder.
Now select the Portal project in Application Navigator and right-click Run to run the portal application in JDeveloper. The portal displayed in the web browser shows the original template, with its default skin and standard portal application look-and-feel.
In the default Home portal page in the web browser, log in as
weblogic (which enables you to have administrative privileges) and enter
weblogic1 as your password.
Note that as discussed in Chapter 3, "Creating a WebCenter Portal Application," you must log in as a user with administrative privileges. In the Tutorial, the user "weblogic" has administrative privileges
After logging in, click the Administration link in the upper right corner of the browser window.
When the Administration Console opens, select the Resources tab, and navigate to the
Page Templates item in the Structure menu, as shown in Figure 4-15. The page template is now displayed.
Figure 4-15 The My Site Template as a Designated Resource in the Administration Console
In the Default Page Template menu, select
My Site Template as the default Page Template, as shown in Figure 4-16.
Figure 4-16 The Default Template Changed to My Site Template
In the Administration Console, navigate to the Configuration tab and select it. From the Default Skin menu, select
Tutorial Skin from the list. Now set the default portal skin to
Tutorial Skin (Figure 4-17).
Figure 4-17 The Default Portal Skin Changed to Tutorial Skin
Click the Back to Portal link in the Administration Console.
Refresh the web browser page to reload the new tutorial skin.
Now the Go Green, Eat Fresh Home page appears, as shown in Figure 4-18.
Figure 4-18 The Home Portal in a Web Browser with a New Tutorial Skin Applied
In this lesson, you have learned how to enhance your portal application by creating a new page template, setting that template as a portal resource and applying a new skin (extracted from the Tutorial Setup files and copied into the skins folder in your project) to your portal to change its look and feel at runtime.
In the next lesson, you move ahead to further customize your application portal by changing the default settings of your template at design time in JDeveloper.

Dear community,
The time has come to say 'Goodbye'.
It has been a pleasure talking to you, playing with you and just spending time with you.
I made incredible memories playing S4 League with many of you. Remember that one time we played until midnight?
S4 League will always have a special place in my heart!
Wishing you a Merry Christmas,
CM Yorem.

30 years ago Peter Vogel and company started what has become the computer-based music production industry with the Fairlight CMI. Today celebrating that anniversary Peter is bringing back the Fairlight CMI-30A.
Fairlight Original vs New
Peter Vogel demos the Fairlight CMI-30A @ NAMM 2011
Interview with Peter Vogel re Fairlight CMI-30A @ NAMM 2011
Bob Moog demos the Fairlight CMI 1983
The Fairlight dominated the hit songs of the 1980's through 1990's and cost about the same as the average house. It's amazing to think that the same money as the Fairlight cost in 1982 converted to 2011 dollars would buy you FL Studio + ultra-fast PC (1000's of times more powerful) AND enough money left over to build a real recording studio to put it all in :)
Hats off to Peter & Fairlight for bringing the CMI back.
...and finally, the Fairlight iPad app!
Cool! Must HAVE!

Score 18%, pass a science exam
It must be 'too hard' then, says examiner
The Royal Chemistry Society says it's disappointed with the response of British examiners, after discovering that pupils needed to score only 18 per cent in a science exam to gain a pass grade.
Despite an abundance of educational quangos, inspectors and regulators - including OFQUAL - the problem has only emerged after six months, and Society investigation. The hour-long chemistry exam, "Unit 3", formed part of a GCSE science qualification, and contributed a third of the marks to the final assessment.
Students needed to score only 18 per cent to achieve a Grade C. But what troubles the head of the Society, after publicising the error, is that the examiners don't seem to care enough to investigate.
"Something's not right here, it's a Quality Assurance problem with the whole system," Richard Pike, head of the RCS told us. "It could be that the curriculum was ill-defined, so that when pupils saw the paper it was a mismatch between what was taught and inspected."
Pike is disappointed that the examiner pre-empted a thorough investigation into the cause.
"Instead the examiner commented that they were disappointed it was such a difficult examination. I'd like them to have said we have a QA issue to address in time for next year, rather than 'we're disappointed'."
The response came from OCR, one of what used to be called examining boards but are now called 'awarding bodies'. Even the name has become easier and less threatening.
The Royal Society of Chemistry analysed the results of chemistry examinations here (pdf).
Pike says a knowledge of science is essential in an increasingly technical society, as well as to encourage children to become scientists. Last year the Society drew attention to the quality of science questions set for 14-years olds including "What powers a solar-powered snail?". You can read more here. ®

The mysterious iron contraption jutted above the surface of a north Georgia river for decades, as children swam around it and historians wondered about its past.
Now, more than 125 years after gold explorers placed the underwater capsule in the Chestatee River murk, townspeople in Dahlonega are about to put the ancient relic on display.
The "diving bell," which allowed gold miners to explore the river bed from its underwater capsule, is set to be unveiled Friday in a park not far from Dahlonega's town square. Historians see it as a valuable link to the gold mining history of the area, the scene of the first major gold rush in the United States.
Historians believe the 15-foot-tall device is the only known surviving diving bell, or cason, from that era.

The Particulars
Harvard, who enters Friday second in the Ivy League with a 10-2 conference record and is 21-5 overall, looks to keep pace in search of its first Ivy League title, as the Crimson hosts Penn Friday evening. Harvard has tied its program record for victories in a season (21-8 in 2009-10) and is one win shy of tying the team's mark for most Ivy wins in a season (11-3 in 1970-71). The Quakers are 12-13 and 6-5 in the Ancient Eight.

Harvard and Penn have met 159 times since the first meeting between the Ivy rivals in 1902-03. The Quakers hold the advantage in the series, 127-32, but Harvard has won the last four meetings between the schools and five of the last six overall.
Last Meeting Against The Quakers
Oliver McNally hit the game-winning shot with only 11.5 seconds remaining in double-overtime to lift Harvard to a crucial, 83-82 victory at Penn Feb. 5. Keith Wright scored a career-best 25 points on 10-of-16 shooting and did not commit a foul in 46 minutes of play. Kyle Casey contributed 18 points and nine boards, while Christian Webster buried three 3-pointers to finish with 17 points. Brandyn Curry handed out seven assists and grabbed seven rebounds, helping the Crimson shoot 51.9 percent as a team for the game.
Last Time Out
Christian Webster shot 6-of-9 from the floor and was 7-of-7 from the foul line for a game-high 22 points, but the Crimson fell in the final seconds at Yale, 70-69. Kyle Casey (13 points, eight rebounds) and Keith Wright (12 points, eight rebounds) just missed out on double-doubles, while Harvard shot 46.2 percent from 3-point range (6-of-13).
Penn's Last Time Out
The Quakers outscored Cornell, 45-35, in the second half, but could not overcome a 12-point deficit and fell, 74-72. Miles Cartwright tallied 23 points, while Zack Rosen added 22 and Tyler Bernardini recorded a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Cornell shot 51.9 percent from the field, while holding Penn to 42.1 percent shooting.
Ivy League Race
The Crimson heads into Friday night in second place in the Ivy League with a 10-2 conference mark, just one-half game behind Princeton's 10-1 Ivy mark. With two games to play, both at Lavietes Pavilion, Harvard can earn at least a share of its first Ancient Eight title by winning both contests. Harvard, which stands at 21-5 overall on the year, sports a 12-0 record at home this season, including a 5-0 mark against conference opponents. If Princeton wins out in its last three games, the Tigers will win the Ivy League outright.
Harvard in the NBA
Former Harvard guard and three-time All-Ivy League honoree Jeremy Lin '10 signed a professional contract with the Golden State Warriors in July.
20 In The Victory Column
For the second time in as many seasons and for just the second time in school history, Harvard has reached the 20-win plateau. Last season, the Crimson finished 21-8 overall and 10-4 in the Ivy League.
Harvard Down The Stretch
The Crimson is shooting 51.6 percent from the floor (64-of-124) and 37.2 percent from long distance (16-of-43) in the final five minutes of games this season. Harvard has only been called for 68 fouls in that time span, while drawing 105 fouls by opponents.
Amaker vs. The Ivy League
Harvard head coach Tommy Amaker enters the weekend with a 29-25 (.537) record against Ivy League opponents in his four years in Cambridge. Harvard is 22-6 (.786) against Ancient Eight foes since the start of the 2009-10 campaign and won four straight conference games to open this season. Harvard has also won all five Ivy home games entering Friday evening.
Starting Strong in Ivy Play
For the second straight season, Harvard swept Dartmouth to open conference play and sits at 10-2 in Ivy League action. Harvard also owns sweeps over Brown, Cornell and Columbia. Harvard's best Ivy League record occurred in 1970-71, when the team finished 11-3 in conference games. With wins in the final two games this season, Harvard could establish a new program best for conference wins in a season.
Stepping Up in Conference Action
Keith Wright is averaging nearly a double-double in conference games, scoring 16.1 points per game, while collecting 9.6 rebounds per contest. Wright is also shooting 58.0 percent from the field in Ivy League contests. Kyle Casey (13.3 ppg, 7.1 rpg) and Christian Webster (13.3 ppg, 3.4 rpg) are also averaging double figures. Brandyn Curry is handing out 5.4 assists per game, while scoring 9.5 per contest. Harvard is averaging 72.2 points per game as a team, while surrendering 63.8 ppg, for a +8.4 point margin.
Lavietes Is The Place To Be
Harvard is riding a 15-game win streak at home, a program record. The current win streak at home is the longest for Harvard at Lavietes Pavilion and is tied for the 15th longest current streak in the NCAA. Harvard has established a new record for home victories in a season with 12, surpassing last season's 11 wins at Lavietes. The 1937-38 Crimson finished the season 10-0 at home.
McNally Closing Out Games
In the last four minutes of games, McNally leads Harvard with a .750 shooting percentage. He has made all six of his eight shots in the final minutes, four of which were from beyond the arc. He is averaging 1.5 points in the last four minutes of games and is 24-of-26 from the foul line (.923).
RPI Watch
Harvard appears 44th in the most recent NCAA RPI, released Monday. The Crimson has the highest RPI in the Ivy League, six spots ahead of conference rival Princeton (50).
Scoring In Bunches
Harvard is 6-0 this season when scoring 80 or more points, topping Colorado, 82-66, Nov. 28, Fordham, 80-57, Dec. 1, Boston University, 87-71, Dec. 11, MIT, 84-58, Dec. 31, Penn, 83-82, in double overtime Feb. 5 and Brown, 85-78, Feb. 12.

Investigative Journalist Claims Her Public Tweets Aren't 'Publishable;' Threatens To Sue Blogger Who Does Exactly That
from the hubristupidity! deptUpdate: In case this isn't enough, there's a follow up to this story, as Teri Buhl is apparently not a fan of our writeup.
Choose your battles carefully. This warning/advice is more relevant than ever in an era of instant feedback, social media and thousands of pages of "relevant results" microseconds away. Here's a small story of how not to deal with a problem caused by your own actions.
Mark Bennett, a Houston criminal defense lawyer, was recently pointed in the direction of a rather inexplicable statement attached to a Twitter profile. Teri Buhl, an investigative journalist specializing in Wall Street, has this wording on her profile page:
A friend of Bennett's (@gideonstrumpet) asked, "What does that mean?" Buhl replied:
Gideon sensibly replied "ok thanks. I don't know how you prevent that, though. I could write a post quoting you."
At this point, Buhl went "legal," responding that she would sue him because she "stated" her tweets are not "on record comments." And she certainly could, although one wonders who would take her case. Gideon asked for a few second opinions on the legality of Buhl's claim, and got answers from these two gentlemen whose names are likely familiar to Techdirt regulars, Marc Randazza and Popehat.
So, we have someone thinking their public tweets are private property, and therefore lawsuit-bait if anyone attempts to "quote" them. While Twitter's TOS assures users that their Tweets are their property, it's quite another thing to state something publicly and then claim you don't want it quoted. Would a retweet be a violation of Buhl's statement? After all, it's a "direct quote" originating from another account. What about embedding the tweet? Still a problem? Even if Buhl's claim wasn't baseless, she'd still have a hell of a time enforcing it. If you don't want something you said going public, why on earth would you use a very public platform like Twitter to say it?
It gets uglier from there, though. Buhl decided to continue her legal threats via email shortly after Mark Bennett posted screencaps of her tweets.
This prompted Bennett to do a little digging. For someone who's so concerned with retaining strict control of her information, Buhl certainly doesn't seem to mind throwing around other people's information -- even the contents of a teenage girl's personal journal.
A New Canaan woman police say posted personal and sexually explicit information on Facebook about her boyfriend's 17-year-old daughter was arraigned Tuesday in state Superior Court on charges of second-degree harassment, second-degree breach of peace and interfering with an officer.Here's how Buhl allegedly set about "publishing" someone else's much more private "statements:"
Teri Buhl, 38, of 81 Locust Ave., appeared briefly before Judge Maureen D. Dennis with her lawyer, Christopher W. Caldwell of Norwalk...
Buhl surrendered on Oct. 27 at New Canaan police headquarters after learning that a warrant had been obtained for her arrest. She was released after posting a $5,000 bond.
A look at the documents that led to the warrant and arrest tells a disturbing story of Web-based strong-arming and privacy invasion from a woman who knew her victim and attempted to disguise her own identity.As Bennett points out, it's apparently OK to publicly post information from a minor's personal journal, but not OK to post a public Teri Buhl tweet anywhere else on the internet.
New Canaan police Youth Bureau Commander Sgt. Carol Ogrinc said in an affidavit that the girl and her father, Paul Brody, came to police June 24 to report that someone using the name 'Tasha Moore' had posted personal notes from the girl's journal on Facebook.
The girl said she kept the journal in her dresser drawer in her bedroom, and that she wrote the notes shown on Facebook last April. The girl said she had replied to the e-mail address provided by Moore on her Facebook page, and had told Moore to stop posting personal information about her or she would contact police.
Moore reportedly answered that she welcomed the legal action and knew the girl's father was a corporate lawyer. Moore said she didn't think the girl would contact police because then her father would find out about the embarrassing information from the journal, according to Ogrinc's statement.
Buhl has finally done what she should have done a long time ago and taken her account private. This will likely be the end of this story as Buhl has probably realized she's on very shaky ground. (This belated tweet captured via her page at Muck Rack seems to confirm this.)
With a trial date set for March 22nd, she may not have time to fight another legal battle. Not only that, but if she's going to go after "republishers" like Bennett and Gideon, she's also going to need to free up time to go after less human foes like favstar, Topsy and yfrog.
Here's a suggestion: don't antagonize people by attaching implicit legal threats to your public profile. All it does is attract the kind of attention you don't want -- for instance, another public airing of your alleged illegal actions. It doesn't win you any new friends or followers and it certainly does very little to raise anyone's estimation of you. Instead, it makes you look like exactly what you are -- someone who's going to slip into "sue" mode at the drop of a tweet.
