Hybrid Cloud ModeEmpowering Cloud, users can log in to their apps through the cloud platform, yet have the ability to switch to the desktop and also employ USB mode.

Extra Benefit: LogmeOnce USB also doubles as a Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) security and access token.
Important Plus: Designed for greater mobility, only data is stored in the cloud. Users' encrypted credentials and passwords are stored in their LogmeOnce SecureUSB.
No More Sync BusinessThere are numerous problems associated with Sync. Essentially, a broken Sync of credentials or passwords will negatively result in failed authentications. The nightmare is compounded, when more than one device is out of Sync.
LogmeOnce cloud and desktop solutions are architected in manner such that it does not require synchronization for account management.
Stops Sync Between Devices & BrowsersSync may not be regarded as a suitable method of exchanging security credentials between multiple devices or browsers. Failed authentication due to out-of-Sync devices may have a compounding effect for the entire authentication process.
Avoiding Sync MistakesWhat is so negative about using Sync ?
With Sync, it is critical to ensure users have access to the same information. However, Syncing has historically been less than satisfactory for most users. When it is in place, only a select group of users may actually require exchanging security credentials via Sync, and it can create limitations upon all users. The issue is not about syncing music files and photos but important login data like passwords and authentication.
LogmeOnce has instead developed 3 products to meet users' distinct requirements. User data is always centralized in the cloud-based environment and parceled off in accordance with the user's unique needs and usage and access type.
End-to-End SecurityYour credentials are secured and encrypted starting from your browser all the way to the server.
Local Data EncryptionData encrypted locally prior to uploading to the cloud.

Secure File Deletion (Military-Grade)Unlike a typical file deletion that masks contents, LogmeOnce employs advanced scrambling method to wipe out USB drive.
Employing military grade encrypted attacks for data destruction, LogmeOnce adds more entropy and variation to disrupt the data in various ways, known as 0000000111111111000000001111111.
File Camouflage + USB DecoyUsing the decoy effect to your advantage, your USB is camouflaged with irrelevant files and images. If you ever lose your USB, outsiders will only see dummy files! Your actual files and content are always encrypted and protected.
Security Data Object technology (SDO)Each USB is embedded with an identification token called Security Data Object technology. SDO is burned on the USB during the manufacturing process and facilitates secure communications and activity between the USB and software.
The embedded SDO in each USB is a security identification token that gets activated upon software registration and paired up with a user's unique credentials to ensure maximum security and privacy. LogmeOnce software detects any tampering with the USB via embedded security architecture and SDO.
Master Password Expiry Notifier (default)LogmeOnce encourages and enforces security best practices policy by expiring the master password every 90 days and on regular intervals. Upon set up, user is automatically notified every;
- 3 months LogmeOnce notifies users to change their master password, about 7 days, 3 day, and 1 day in advance of expiry. Regular password expiry helps to limit your account's exposure to misuse.
- LogmeOnce Minimum Password Length = 8 characters
- LogmeOnce Recommended Password Length = 15 characters
Why you should change your password every 90 days: Mass hacker attacks are a regular occurrence, compromising millions of passwords. Certain types of 'brute force' attacks try out various combinations of characters to crack passwords by trial and error. Regularly expiring passwords may prevent such kind of attack, or at least make it less attractive, given that the process will need to be repeated time and again. Resetting regularly also limits the damage that can be done without your knowledge and helps to prevent continuing unauthorized use.
Master Password Expiry Notifier (customizable)LogmeOnce security policy provides users with customizable and flexible options to expire their password, and on regular intervals. Upon set up, user may select one of the options from the following list, to be automatically notified every;
- 1 month
- 2 months
- 3 months
- 6 months
- 1 year
- 7 days before password expiry
- 3 days before password expiry

The German magazine Der Spiegel published an open letter it says was written by former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, in which Snowden said calls for changes in surveillance programs justify his decision to leak classified information.
"Citizens have to fight against the suppression of information about affairs of essential importance for the public," Snowden said in the piece titled "A Manifesto for the Truth," according to a translation by Reuters. "Those who speak the truth are not committing a crime.
"Instead of causing damage, the usefulness of the new public knowledge for society is now clear because reforms to politics, supervision and laws are being suggested," he wrote.
Snowden calls the U.S. and British intelligence agencies the "worst offenders," but adds, "we cannot forget that mass surveillance is a global problem and needs a global solution," according to a CNN translation.
"The world has learned a lot in a short amount of time about irresponsibly operated security agencies and, at times, criminal surveillance programs," he wrote.
Der Spiegel claims the letter was written Friday in Moscow.
Snowden's "manifesto" follows his request for clemency to the U.S. government for his actions, made public in a letter released Friday after being delivered to a German politician.
The Obama administration made it clear it has no intention of being lenient with Snowden.
"Mr. Snowden violated U.S. law," White House adviser Dan Pfeiffer said Sunday.
"He should return to the U.S. and face justice," Pfeiffer said, adding when pressed that no offers for clemency were being discussed.

Heat coals of grill or fire pit. Cut 8 (18 by 18-inch) squares of aluminum foil. Lay down double thickness of foil and divide gingersnaps evenly among the 4 squares.
Divide fruit evenly and place on top of gingersnaps. Dot with butter. In small bowl mix sugar, salt, and lime zest. Sprinkle sugar mixture evenly over fruit, drizzle with juice and brandy and seal packets.
Once coals are ash covered, lay packets over them and cover with lid of grill. If cooking in a fire pit carefully try to partially bury packets in hot coals. Cook for 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and open carefully, as steam inside packet is very hot. Serve on plates as is or spoon into shallow bowls and top with creme fraiche or ice cream.

Look to the sky in Shanghai - one of the most progressive cities in China with the designer skyline of Pudong for proof.
Switch between the furious pace of modern China with its myriad of cool
bars, eclectic boutiques and contemporary galleries, and its traditional past. Explore art deco buildings along 'the Bund' (outer bank), stroll through the quiet leafy streets of the former French Concession, or enjoy a steaming bowl of 'xiaolongbao' soup dumplings from a street vendor on the cobbled streets of the Shanghai Jewish Ghetto. The 'Paris of the east' is a charming combination of the old and new and simply by being there, you will be at the centre of modern history.
A boat tour on the Huangpu River or a stroll along the Bund. Here are some other ways to get under the skin of Shanghai:
- Visit the authentic Longhua Temple complex, dating from the 'three kingdoms period'
- Get a bird's eye view of Jin Mao Tower from Skywalk 100 from 474 metres up the Shanghai World Financial Centre
- Visit Shanghai Museum for Chinese historical artefacts
- Sip on a cocktail and take in the view from the Cloud 9 Bar at the top of the Hyatt
- Visit the Propaganda Poster and Art Centre to brush up on politics and art from the Mao era
- Buy fresh seafood at the Tongchuan Lu seafood market and have it cooked to order at the neighbouring restaurants.
Split by the Huangpu River, Shanghai is divided into the old city centre of Puxi, on the west shore of the river, and the newer business centre of Pudong, on the east shore.
You'll probably find yourself in Puxi, the cultural and entertainment epicentre of Shanghai, but the modernist attractions of Pudong, with its dizzying Oriental Pearl Tower, Jin Mao Tower and the Shanghai World Financial Cente are not to be missed.
Puxi has attractions like the Bund with its wonderful art deco buildings overlooking the Huangpu River, fancy shops and the contemporary Shanghai Gallery of Art. Visit the former French Concession with its historic European style buildings and the Shanghai Jewish Ghetto. You'll also find some traditional attractions here, including the Old City God Temple and the beautiful Jade Buddha Temple.
The Bund
This famous promenade along the bank of the Huangpu River contains dozens of well preserved historic buildings that were previously foreign banks and trading houses, including the famous art deco Peace Hotel, Metropole Hotel, Sassoon House, Park Hotel and the neoclassical HSBC Building.
Stroll along the Bund and visit some of the gorgeous high-end bars and boutiques within the stone walls.
Across the river from the Bund is the central modern financial and commercial district of Lujiazu in Pudong is often referred to simply as Pudong.
Since the development boom of the 90s the construction here has continued to transform the city skyline at a rapid pace. Famous for its futuristic architecture, in particular the Oriental Pearl TV Tower which is a resonant symbol of the city. Many of the skyscrapers house hotels and shopping malls and Pudong International Airport is also on this side of the river.
French Concession
The tree lined streets of the French Concession are a beautiful contrast to Pudong.
Bound by Ruijin Lu to the east, Yan'an Lu to the north, Zhaojaibang Lu to the south and Huashan Lu to the west – this area includes Xintiandi with its narrow paved streets and refurbished traditional shikumen (alleys) that now house high-end shops and restaurants. Fuxing Park is a large green space with French style gardens surrounded by bars, clubs and restaurants.
Huangpu is the traditional city centre and location of many of the city's key attractions; People's Square, People's Park, Shanghai Museum, Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall and City Hall.
The East Nanjing Road pedestrian mall extends from the People's Square. Running beneath it all, you'll find an underground shopping mall and the central metro interchange.
North-east of the city, this large residential area is where Hongqiao International Airport is located as well as Shanghai Zoo. There are some commercial and entertainment hubs around Zhongshan Park.
This area has been settled since the third century AD and the Jing'an Temple is located here. The commercial district of West Nanjing Road extends from here to People's Square.
Old City
This relatively small area is the old Chinese part of the city and a place to see examples of ancient wooden architecture including the Yu Garden, the Old City God Temple and the Huxingting Tea House.
This area is not always on the radar for visitors, but is fascinating because of the significant Jewish population that lived here post World War II. With narrow, cobblestone streets, European style buildings and Ohel Moshe Synagogue, this could be a neighbourhood in Warsaw.

Shanghai experiences weather extremes. In winter (December to February) it regularly drops below 0°C, while in summer (June to August) the city reaches temperatures of 40°C and higher. The most temperate time to visit the city is between September and November.
From the airport
Flights to Shanghai on Qantas arrive at Shanghai Pudong International Airport Terminal 1 where you can get into town on the subway system or with a reasonably priced private transfer.
In and around the city
Once in town, the best way to get around Shanghai is on the clean and simple subway system or a hop-on hop-off tour bus which will take you around to all the major sights.
Taxis are the best option for private travel but be sure to get your destination address written out for you in Mandarin before you go.

Inside the Golden Dome
Music and Consciousness Weekend at MUM (Maharishi University of Management)
Paul Horn was a guest performer at the David Lynch Foundation's benefit concert at Radio City Music Hall two years ago. As the crowd waited for the appearance of Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, Paul Horn and his golden flute masterfully brought the buzzing crowd to a state of deep silence in only a few seconds. This type of artistry is what has earned Paul the distinction of being called, "The Father of New Age Music," for his groundbreaking performances in sacred spaces of the world… The Taj Mahal… The Great Pyramid… And now the Golden Dome.
Joining Paul in this rare performance will be his wife, Ann Mortifee, a most beloved singer/poet/author, Ed Sarath, a world-class flugelhorn player, and special guest Gene Watts of the Canadian Brass. Gene is a legend in his own right as one of the foremost classical trombonists in the world.
Sunday, May 15, 2011. VIP reserved seating available.
"Paul Horn Reminisces"
Another special event during Paul Horn's visit to MUM: "Paul Horn Reminisces" on Tuesday, May 10 at 8 pm in Dalby Hall, MUM Argiro Student Center. Paul will reminisce about his early days with Maharishi, tell stories what it was like being in Rishikesh with the Beatles and Donovan, and talk about his role helping launch the North American TM Movement as one of Maharishi's first dozen teachers in the West.
A special evening, not to be missed.

|Pioneer Elite SC-27 A/V Receiver Review
|Tuesday, 10 November 2009
Page 1 of 2
Sometimes "good" isn't good enough. If it was, a certain A/V receiver would have been on many a home theater enthusiast's wish list for Christmas 2008. Instead of rushing to market with a product that just passed muster, Pioneer took a step back and worked on making a better component, one to spearhead its Elite A/V receiver lineup. The resulting Elite SC-27 was born after several years in development. Pioneer's marketing manager Dave Bales described it as a receiver designed by committee, with input from THX and certification from Air Studios in London. Good wasn't good enough, though, for the SC-27 - even after receiving certification from THX, Pioneer spent another year bettering the amp before introducing it to the market.
When I spoke with Bales, he was clearly enthused and proud of the SC-27, and believes this second-generation ICE Powered Class-D amp is the wave of the future, sporting a "green" amplifier design that is significantly more energy efficient. The SC-27 is a statement-making receiver, with a dazzling, if not dizzying array of options; however, the message I came away with was if it didn't sound great it wasn't good enough. "Turn it up, and listen to the dynamics and punch," Bales suggested. And I did – a lot.
First Impressions & Setup
I've always found Pioneer's Elite components to be visually stunning and built to last. The SC-27 is no different. It features a gorgeous glossy black front plate and a design to match. When I first unpacked the nearly 41-pound behemoth, I was shocked to see a phono input on the back, among the many inputs and jacks. I mentioned this to Bales, who told me Pioneer recognized the resurgence of vinyl and the format's devoted following. Cool. At first glance, the SC-27 seems like an unwieldy beast that could take many hours to setup. But don't let its capabilities and 154-page operating instruction manual scare you. For such an option-studded machine and lengthy accompanying tome, the SC-27 is fairly straightforward to get up and running.
I asked Bales if the design team takes setup into account, realizing that technology can be a double-edged sword. He asserted that above the $500 price point, one has to build to the highest common denominator. The customer who drops $2K on an SC-27 is very likely a serious audio and video hobbyist and expects bells and whistles and fine-tuning options not available on lesser models. Bales also admitted that the majority of users will utilize maybe five or six inputs and call it good. Certainly, one can get crazy deep into the menus and sub-menus, but the receiver can also be fully customized and ready to play in 10 to 15 minutes. But allow a few hours to get speakers in place, connect wires and cables and just to get acquainted with the SC-27's operations.
A graphical-user-interface walks you through setup and does most of the thinking. The SC-27 has a default 7.1 surround setup that I used – almost – I went with two front speakers, two surrounds and two back surrounds, instead of going with a center channel speaker. Once everything was in place, it was time to employ the MCACC (Multi-Channel AcoustiC Calibration) Room Tuning feature. I set the supplied microphone where I would be doing the majority of my watching/listening. The receiver emits a series of test tones – white noise, ambient, waveforms and EQ – to adjust to, calibrate and optimize the listening area's acoustics. Connecting a PC via the RS-232 connector enables users to transfer 3D graphs of reverb, group delay characteristics and other MCACC parameters to a computer for detailed review.
One connection curiosity: The SC-27 has a detachable power cord, and the instructions warn against using any power cord other than the one supplied with the unit. I'm not sure why this is. If someone wants to swap to an audiophile-grade cord to maximize performance, he or she should be able to do so. And I can't discern any why the receiver wouldn't work in such a configuration.
Cool Features
In the relatively short timeframe that the SC-27 was in my hands, I was challenged to test all that it can do; this is a receiver that can keep you busy for many days as it is integrated with about every technology imaginable. A complete spec list is beyond the scope of this review, but I want to highlight some notable features:
• A remote that is functional and intuitive. Once you're setup, it's easy to make adjustments on the fly. If you don't read anything else in the manual, read the bits about the remote. Life will be easy.
• Supports input of Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, High bit-rate audio, DVD-Audio, SACD, Video CD and Super VCD
• HDMI 48-bit Deep Color signal transfer
• 5 HDMI inputs
• More than a dozen surround sound formats
• Can power three independent systems via Multi-Zone connections
• Synchronized operation with KURO LINK-compatible components
• The iPod/USB terminal makes it possible to access and control the contents of an iPod/iPhone or jump drive with the receiver's remote. You don't even need to turn on the TV, as the SC-27's GUI will highlight the contents directly on the Character display. As well, the USB interface reads MP3, WMA, WAV and JPEF file formats.
• An HDMI input terminal on the receiver's front panel enables users to connect HDMI-equipped video cameras with a single cable.
• Numerous defeatable optional inputs permit true customization for each user.
• Stream music, photos and video from a networked computer hard drive. A LAN terminal allows for easy networking, accessing Internet radio, music-subscription services, audio files stored on a networked computer or media servers connected to the same LAN.
• An enhanced room calibration channels everything to focus on one sweet spot.
• XM and Sirius Satellite Radio ready.

Who are the young guns to step up for U.S. soccer in World Cup qualifying? Jurgen Klinsmann has choices
The U.S. will start backup Brad Guzan at goalkeeper Friday against Costa Rica, in place of the injured Tim Howard (broken back). Other injuries across the roster have opened up spots for coach Jurgen Klinsmann to fill.
"It's always the question, when does the next generation take over for the older generation," Klinsmann said. "At the end of the day, every coach in the world will choose his best players. I'm not choosing now the players because they're younger. I'm choosing them because they're good."
Here are some of the younger Americans who could become regulars during World Cup qualifying:

Well, I've mentioned in a previous post that I recently "inherited" all of the negatives that were my grandmother's. It doesn't look like she ever threw any of them away (just like me!) so there's QUITE a collection! The majority of the negatives came from her Hawkeye Brownie camera, so they are not a standard size. I was having quite a dilemma over what to do with them. It didn't take me long to realize that I was going to have a massive headache from trying to look at them by holding them up to the light. And in all of the research that I did on negative scanners, I could only find information for scanners that did slides or 35mm film. So this is my solution for now.
I'm taking the most interesting negatives (the ones that are black and white and are not obvious to me as to identification) and scanning them. Then, I can make them as large as my screen and I can play with the brightness levels to make them as "readable" as possible without actually developing them. I'm going to put them into a slide show of sorts to show my aunts and uncles along with any hints my grandmother left – such as labels on the envelopes, etc. I've included an example above. My mother does not recognize this house or can even think of where it might be so the woman is a mystery. This negative is included in a set of negatives of my great-uncle at his military base, so I'm estimating the year to be around 1942 when he would have been 20 years old.
My next decision is to decide how I'm going to preserve these negatives. All of my negatives are in archival negative sleeves from Light Impressions, but Grandma's negatives would not fit in standard negative sleeves. My sleeves are in chronological order in 2 large binders with labels on each page. I've always thought that those would be a salvation for my soul if I ever lost my photo albums to fire or tornado. Of course, it would probably work out alot better if I didn't have them stored in the same location as my albums! Better put "take negatives to Mom's house" to my summer "to do" list!

Ten years after the publication of the World Commission on Dams report, IUCN commissioned a study to look at the approaches to decision-making around large dams. This report is now available in English and French.
In close collaboration with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the report informs the current regional Consultation on Large Infrastructures Projects in the Water Sector of the ECOWAS Zone. More information on the 'Dialogue Régional sur les Grandes Infrastructures Hydrauliques' can be found here.
The purpose of the study has been to review the diversity of decision-making around environmental and social aspects concerning the development of large dams in both developing countries and in emerging economies. Case studies were carried out of the Lom Pangar Hydropower Project in Cameroon, and of the Senegal River Water Charter (la Charte des Eaux du Fleuve Sénégal).
"IUCN is committed to the international debate on dams and benefit sharing, particularly through the regional dialogue with ECOWAS and the Global Water Initiative with IIED. Its strategy is to strengthen the ongoing processes through knowledge research, support for the participation of all stakeholders, in particular the civil society, and the promotion of good environmental and social practices, to take up the challenges posed by the World Commission on Dams", says Ousmane Diallo, Regional Water and Wetlands Programme coordinator, IUCN Regional Office for West and Central Africa.
The report proposes a simple framework of analysis for different levels of practice, and emphazises the importance of extending the traditional core commercial and financial transactions relating to finance for large infrastructure. Extending this framework to include the environmental and social aspects as project components, embeds social and environmental aspects at the core of the financial decision making, rather than these critical elements appearing as bolt-on additions to a robust financial transaction process.
In preparing the report, perspectives of key informants representing a range of interests were gathered, including review of five policies at international level (the World Bank's Safeguard Policies, the IFC Performance Standards, the 'Equator Principles', the 'Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Protocol' and the report of the World Commission on Dams).
The report states: 'Review of five leading international policies has helped to identify the niche of each policy in relation to the design of dam projects where leading actors share common ground, and where they advocate differing approaches. Key to creating good projects is bringing together the perspectives of commercial contracting and public policy-making. The Lom Pangar project in Cameroon is a good example of this interaction, the project preparation process has been aimed at designing a project which is both economically viable and environmentally and socially sustainable'.
"This report helps us capitalize on developments in policy and practice, to promote dialogue and active participation of all stakeholders in decision-making and aim for a better integration of environmental and social aspects in the financial processes of dam projects", said Jerome Koundouno, Regional Coordinator of the dam project, Global Water Initiative, IUCN Regional Office for West and Central Africa.
The author of the report was Peter Newborne, researcher and consultant. The views expressed in this report are those of the persons consulted and the author, not of IUCN.

Philips Radiation Oncology Solutions
Philips offers a proven portfolio of dedicated radiotherapy solutions that span diagnostic imaging to treatment planning. By integrating tools, systems, and software, we help you to improve patient care, accelerate time to treatment, enhance patient satisfaction, while maximizing the value of your investment.
In November 2018 Philips Healthcare UKI contributed to the Economist's War on Cancer conference in London, UK. Watch Philips' Clinical Informatics Specialist Donna Linden, along with leading clinicians and researchers in the fields of diagnostic imaging, clinical informatics and cancer care, give their insights on how cancer care is evolving and the burgeoning role healthtech is playing in the war on cancer.
Cancer incidence and related healthcare costs continue to grow. There is a big need to diagnose and treat patients in efficient settings with a focus on the best care. The key? You must combine using the best imaging and therapy capabilities, patient experience and lowest cost with the goal to improve patient outcomes.
We help make this possible with tools and services for accurate first time right decision-making imaging, fast supporting right decision-making tools and enable targeted, patient-specific therapy. With Philips, the future of personalized oncology is within your reach.
The challenge
Cancer care is moving towards optimal, personalized treatment choices that are tailored to individual patients. All of the information from disciplines in cancer diagnostics and genomics come together to inform the decisions made by cancer specialists during the diagnostic phase. Digitization of healthcare enables all diagnostic data (from radiology, pathology and in-vitro diagnostic tests) becoming available in a digital form.
At Philips, we enable characterization and staging a patient's disease confidently.
The challenge
The number of treatment options is continuously increasing. New targeted drugs are available and new minimally invasive approaches to focused therapies are required. Diagnostics and treatment need to become more integrated.
We at Philips enable patient-specific imaging and/or integrated therapy with the goal to enhance patient care.

Game On
On a weekend honoring a successful Crimson team of the past, Harvard's current squad looks to build on last weekend's two-game sweep as it hosts Brown Saturday at noon and Vermont Sunday at 2 p.m. at Jordan Field.
Follow From Home
Free live statistics and subscription-based live video will be available for both weekend games at the links above.
Student Rewards Program
Saturday's game against Brown is a Student Rewards featured game. Every Harvard undergraduate who attends a featured game receives $1 of Crimson Cash and is entered into the season-long grand-prize drawing. The more games you attend, the more chances you have to win the fall grand prize: Beats Headphones and an iPod Nano. 'Like' Harvard Crimson on Facebook for a complete calendar of Student Rewards games.
Last Time Out
After pulling away to a 4-1 win Sept. 25 against Penn, Harvard (4-3, 1-1 Ivy League) completed its perfect weekend by coming back from a goal down to top Bryant, 2-1, a day later. Katelin Wahl banged in the tying goal less than two minutes after the Bulldogs took the lead early in the season half. Paige Haley scored before another four minutes had elapsed, finishing after Sydney Jenkins sent a right-to-left ball into the circle and Noel Painter redirected it to the far post. Cynthia Tassopoulos made five saves.
She's Honored
Carly Dickson was named Ivy League Player of the Week after leading the Crimson with four weekend points. She registered a goal and an assist in the Ivy League win against Penn and assisted on Katelin Wahl's tally against Bryant.
1991 Revisited
This year marks the two-decade anniversary of Harvard's 1991 Ivy League championship. The Crimson, captained by Ceci Clark '92 and Kristen Fowler '92, set a program record for wins with a 13-3-2 record, won the ECAC tournament and advanced to the NCAA tournament. Harvard Athletics is recognizing their accomplishments at Saturday's game.
Crimson Capsule
Carly Dickson and Noel Painter share the Harvard scoring lead with eight points each. Painter and Bridget McGillivray are tied for the team lead with three goals each. Dickson has a team-high four assists. She is tied for third in the Ivy League with five points and two goals in league play.
Cynthia Tassopoulos ranks eighth nationally with an average of 8.29 saves per game and 10th with a .784 save percentage.
A Balanced Attack
Four different players have scored Harvard's four game-winning goals this season, and six different scorers accounted for the Crimson's six weekend goals last weekend.
History Lesson: Harvard vs. Brown
Brown's Abigail Taft scored her second goal of the game in overtime to lift the Bears to a 3-2 win against the Crimson last season in Providence, R.I. Brown held a 2-0 lead before Katelin Wahl scored the first of Harvard's two second-half goals to force overtime. The Bears' win ended a three-year series winning streak for the Crimson. Harvard holds a 20-10-6 series lead and has won 15 of the last 18 meetings.
History Lesson: Harvard vs. Vermont
Harvard and Vermont are meeting for the second straight season and the fourth time in the last five years. The Crimson posted a 4-1 win when the Catamounts last visited Jordan Field in 2008, with Carly Dickson tallying the final Harvard goal. Vermont defeated Harvard, 1-0, in overtime last season, but the Crimson holds a 10-5 series lead and has won the last 10 meetings at Jordan.
Scouting the Bears
Brown (1-7, 0-2) has lost four games, including each of its last three, by a single goal. In Ivy action, the Bears held a 1-0 lead at Columbia before the Lions scored three straight goals in the final 18 minutes and then fell in overtime, 4-3, to Dartmouth last weekend.
Leslie Springmeyer leads Brown with nine points. She and Meghan O'Donnell have scored a team-high four goals each, while Avery Burns paces the Bears with five assists. Shannon McSweeney has started all eight games in goal. She owns a .730 save percentage.
Scouting the Catamounts
Vermont (6-4) enters Saturday's game against Boston University having won its last two games, including a midweek clash with Dartmouth. The Catamounts prevailed in that game, 4-3, thanks to a last-minute goal by Emily Bastiaanse and 11 saves by Stephanie Zygmunt.
Colleen Slaugther leads Vermont with seven goals and 14 points, while Bastiaanse has logged five goals and 11 points. Sally Snickenberger has recorded a team-high three assists. Zygmunt enters the weekend with a save percentage of .800, having started each of the Catamounts' 10 games.
Around the League
Columbia and Dartmouth look to preserve their unblemished Ivy League records as they head south to Princeton and Penn, respectively, Saturday. Cornell, meanwhile, seeks its first Ancient Eight win when it visits Yale.
Sunday's schedule features nonconference home games for Columbia against Rutgers and Yale against Connecticut.

- Create tables without using the built in tools; ALTER; DROP; ALTER COLUMN; CREATE
Create and alter views (simple statements)
- Create indexed views; create views without using the built in tools; CREATE, ALTER, DROP
Design views
- Ensure code non regression by keeping consistent signature for procedure, views and function (interfaces); security implications
Create and modify constraints (simple statements)
- Create constraints on tables; define constraints; unique constraints; default constraints; primary and foreign key constraints
Create and alter DML triggers
- Inserted and deleted tables; nested triggers; types of triggers; update functions; handle multiple rows in a session; performance implications of triggers
Preparation resources
- Create and alter tables using T-SQL syntax (simple statements)

Implement sub-queries
- Identify problematic elements in query plans; pivot and unpivot; apply operator; cte statement; with statement
Implement data types
- Use appropriate data; understand the uses and limitations of each data type; impact of GUID (newid, newsequentialid) on database performance, when to use what data type for columns
Implement aggregate queries
- New analytic functions; grouping sets; spatial aggregates; apply ranking functions
Query and manage XML data
- Understand XML datatypes and their schemas and interop w/, limitations and restrictions; implement XML schemas and handling of XML data; XML data: how to handle it in SQL Server and when and when not to use it, including XML namespaces; import and export XML; XML indexing
Preparation resources
- Query data by using SELECT statements
- Modify data (20–25%)
Create and alter stored procedures (simple statements)
- Write a stored procedure to meet a given set of requirements; branching logic; create stored procedures and other programmatic objects; techniques for developing stored procedures; different types of storeproc result; create stored procedure for data access layer; program stored procedures, triggers, functions with T-SQL

Tonight's Gennady Golovkin-Daniel Geale bout on HBO was nasty, brutish, and short. It wasn't as short as it should have been, though, because a (drunk?) timekeeper allowed the opening round to go for four minutes.
As it turned out, GGG won by TKO in the third. Or was it the second? Either way, the Kazakh dominated Geale—even when, as illustrated above, responding to taking a punch across the nose by delivering what turned out to be the knockout cross. Simple work from the scariest man alive.
