The 2010 census has started in 2009.
I have already confronted two census workers this year.
The first, in February, was an older lady who came to the door and asked if she could get some information. I let her and her laptop in and answered some questions, refused on others and she said OK, it was not mandatory and left.
The second was just last week . A man parked out front for a while and then drove next door to an unoccupied house that I also own and stopped, got out and went to the front door. I walked over and asked if I could help him. He explained he was from the census and wanted to know if anyone lived in the house. I told him no but he still wanted to know the street address number of the house. I said I didn't know as I have never had to use it and he thanked me and left.
Both appeared to be just average people, hired hands for the government doing a job they were paid for. I didn't see if they had a GPS unit.
From: Right Soup
I know, you thought the census (now well in control of Rahm Emanuel) didn't start until 2010! Well, seems that workers have begun already, coming door-to-door with handheld GPS units and questions about every garage and storage barn on your property. Robert LaMacchia, head of the Census Bureau's geography division, says they'll capture the latitude and longitude of the front door of every house, apartment and improvised shelter they find."We will actually knock on doors and look for hidden housing units," he says. "We will find converted garages; from the outside, it may not look like anybody lives there." This is so the census will end up with the geographic coordinates — accurate to within 10 feet — for about 110 million residences.
The US Census Bureau is currently going door-to-door, nationwide, to place YOUR front door "coordinates" into a Global Positioning System (GPS) for marking/mapping purposes; without your consent - and if you are not home - without your knowledge. Now, why does anyone need GPS Coordinates on every front door in America? Who is really doing this? What good reason can they possibly have for such an expensive project? Listen to this interview with citizen Jane Lesko on the Power Hour and find out more. (The interview starts about 7/8 of an inch in on the podcast slider)
From Channeling Reality:
The U.S. Census Bureau is doing an Address Canvassing Operation using GPS- equipped handheld computers to GPS every front door of homes, apartments, converted garages, homeless shelters, and anything they believe that someone might live in, in America, so that the Bureau can send every household a Census Questionnaire in March of 2010. (There are other people we have spoken to who believe that the GPS front doors of America may be used for MILITARY purposes and that this is a violation of privacy. They want the exact location of your front door.)
The U.S. Census Bureau awarded Shreveport, La.-based Michael Baker Jr. Inc. an estimated $10 million contract for data collection services that involve Global Positioning System (GPS) technology.
The company, an engineering unit of Michael Baker Corp., won the multi-year award to support the bureau's Geography Division in updating a key geographic data system. Baker has been a partner to the United States military since the 1940's, supporting Department of Defense (DoD) operations spanning the globe. We understand the culture and know the demands and responsibilities facing installation commanders.
We've mastered support processes by focusing top architectural, planning, engineering, and geospatial and mapping talent to supply cost-effective, timely and innovative solutions that are aligned with the diverse missions of each military organization. While force structures, weaponry and missions change, Baker helps keep America's military installations fully mission capable. Baker is putting life cycle planning concepts for a multitude of federal, state, and local clients. Since 1972, our all-risk, all-hazards approach has helped clients plan and prepare for natural disasters, technological emergencies, internal/external risks, and terrorist threats. Our diverse staff of emergency planning and response specialists, planners, engineers, and architects supports a broad range of multi-discipline projects.
Baker (NYSE Amex: BKR), founded in 1940, provides professional engineering and consulting expertise for public and private sector clients worldwide. The Company's markets of focus include Aviation, Defense, Environmental, Facilities, Geospatial Information Technologies, Homeland Security, Municipal & Civil, Pipelines & Utilities, Transportation, and Water. Services span the complete life cycle of infrastructure and managed asset projects, including planning, design, construction services, asset management, and asset renewal.
The Census, in it's own words, has been "re-engineered", including the mandate to "Collect and tabulate long-form data every year throughout the decade through a large household survey (The American Community Survey)."
ACORN signed on as a national partner with the U.S. Census Bureau in February 2009 to assist with the recruitment of the 1.4 million temporary workers needed to go door-to-door to count every person in the United States — currently believed to be more than 306 million people.
The 2010 census will be the "short form", however, there is the clever subterfuge of the "American Community Survey" which is purposely not called a census and is sent to a "sampling" of US homes such that each home receives one not more than once every five years. Its what they used to call the long form as the 2010 census will only contain the short form. Here is a link to the questions on the survey.
Why does the government (and ACORN) need to have the GPS coordinates of your FRONT DOOR? Your house is probably on Google Maps already. But the front door? Sounds like a jackboot convenience to me. This is a developing story, and several reports of those who have already been visited by the GPS squad can be found in this forum thread.

Funder beware.
Snake-oil salesmen used to have to pitch their dubious products on late-night infomercials or low-traffic websites. But now, armed with a freelance designer, people pitching products that sound amazing and might work — emphasis on might — can make a crowdfunding page that looks sharp and clean enough to net almost $1 million, without ever shipping a product.
That's the picture painted by a series of articles from PandoDaily about HealBe, a company that's hawking a miraculous-sounding device that, when strapped on a user's wrist, can measure everything from their caloric intake to hydration levels — and which experts say can't possibly work as advertised.
Pando started looking into the product — which says it's based in San Francisco but whose makers are in Moscow — several weeks ago. The website found that the company was sketchy on details and claimed to use technology that wouldn't be feasible. HealBe also promised to share information about patents and other information on how the device works but has not yet done so.
Since then, Indiegogo (which was used presumably because Kickstarter doesn't allow medical devices and Indiegogo allows users to collect funds raised even if they don't meet the funding goal) has changed its FAQs to emphasize not all campaigns and contributions go through a fraud review — just the ones flagged by the company's fraud detection system.
Crowdfunding has always been risky for the funder — those who choose to back projects invest money in a startup that promises to deliver a product down the line, but sometimes the product arrives later than promised, in a different form than as advertised, or not at all. For many funders, that risk is still worth the chance to be in at the ground level on a new product or project they find compelling. But the way it's set up now, crowdfunding can take advantage of those who are less aware.

The Trouble with Doctrines
Many presidential foreign policy doctrines ago, George Kennan figured out what was wrong with them. In my latest post for The Skeptics, I rely on his insight to try to stop pundits from inventing an Obama Doctrine.
The national effort to discern an Obama Doctrine from our attack on Libya is likely to be futile. If it succeeds, it will be harmful. No one can make foreign policy without some theory or strategy. But as Kennan's lament about the Truman Doctrine points out, doctrines tend to be post‐hoc rationales of actions that confuse policy later. If taken seriously, they typically encourage foolish wars.
Kennan attributed the American desire for doctrines to our love of law and rules. I see it more as a product of divided power, which heightens the need for sales. Doctrines have a pseudo‐scientific air that helps legitimate policy. They endow the messy process of presidential decision‐making with false order. They over‐generalize.
The rest of the post briefly applies this formula to all our presidential doctrines, from Monroe to Bush. With the exception of Nixon's, almost all arose to justify military action and thus tend to encourage war. While I can imagine doctrines, like Weinberger‐Powell, that might marginally help keep us out of trouble, even that substitutes a formula for careful consideration of action based on theory.
So I propose the Kennan Doctrine, which says don't have a doctrine.

A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole
In October 2004, I went on a weekend-long company trip to New Orleans. Amid the usual (and not-so-usual) team-building exercises we were given some time to explore the city on our own. While many of my compatriots headed out to Bourbon Street immediately after landing for a long evening of drinking and debauchery, I ordered an early wake-up call and hit the sack.
In the pre-dawn darkness of a rainy Saturday morning (a rain that effectively never let up for the entire weekend, as tropical storm Matthew was parked just offshore in the Gulf), I wandered out of our Canal Street hotel and hopped aboard the classic old St. Charles streetcar line.
This may rank as the highlight of a fun weekend. Being a railfan, I really enjoy riding the transit systems of the cities I visit—the cable cars of San Francisco being another recent case. And I've come to realise that even beyond the visual treat the outmoded hardware provides, and the operational quirks of the system (such as the fact that twice the streetcar stopped—powerless—when tree branches, soaked from several days of rain and hanging low, knocked the trolley pole off of the catenary wire), for me a big part of the experience must be the unique smells and sounds. For example, I'll never forget the rich machine-oil aroma of the now-defunct red cars of New York's #7 line. (I know, I know, it's a little weird to appreciate the smell of a New York subway.) And in the case of the St. Charles streetcar, the most memorable part was the rackety pucka-pucka-pucka noise that the reciprocating compressor under the floor made as it recharged the cylinder for the air brakes—something you won't find in the modern cars of the Canal Street line.
With time to spare before an intended eight a.m. breakfast at the Bluebird Café, I figured on riding past my stop for a while and then turning back on another car. But I overestimated the distances involved, or perhaps was having too much fun listening to the air compressor and watching its pressure gauge fluctuate, and I wound up riding right out to the end of the line. It was a surprise to say to myself "well, I'll get out at the next stop," step off, and find that the rails ended five feet past the car's bluff prow. It was there that I took this photograph, a lucky shot that I really like. I like the way the colourful umbrellas brighten up a hazy shot of dark green (the cars and the surrounding foliage) and grey (the gloomy, low-hanging rain clouds), and how I managed to catch the moment where the motorman on the right, pulling on a rope, is just about to set his trolley pole against the overhead wire.

After an excellent breakfast at the Bluebird (where the astute waitress suggested a perfect compromise for my indecision and brought a half-order of the huevos rancheros and a short stack of pecan pancakes) and a visit to the National D-Day Museum (which I emphatically recommend), I returned to Canal Street for the afternoon's activities. It was then that I stumbled across the Chateau Sonesta Hotel—or more to the point, the bronze statue and plaque underneath the hotel's front awning. It turns out the hotel is an adaptive reuse of the D. H. Holmes department store, where the opening scene of A Confederacy of Dunces takes place, and the statue is of Ignatius J. Reilly, tragic/comic antihero, as he waits for his mother beneath the Holmes clock. The nearby plaque quotes a paragraph of the book's first page, setting the scene in order to explain the odd, rumpled subject of the bronze.
(To be honest, I have a couple of problems with this statue. One problem is that the scale is too small; Ignatius is both a larger-than-life character and is described as physically towering and massive, yet the statue is fairly diminutive, no more than about 5'8″. The other problem is the placement. Appropriately for a statue, it is prominently centered beneath the clock; yet Ignatius is, above all else, an observer from the fringes of a crowd. He is much more likely to be found lurking about off to one side, and though the book never explicitly states that, it is easily inferred.)
So I'm really talking around the subject here, which is the book A Confederacy of Dunces. Perhaps that's because it's a difficult book to categorize or describe. I first read it some time around my freshman year in college, and found it hilarious and endearing and perhaps more than a little subversive. In short, I loved it, and when I first built this web site I was quick to place Dunces on my all-time favourites list. Yet my recollections were becoming increasingly vague, and I had for some time been meaning to re-read the book and re-assess my opinion of it. And so, when I found myself at the site of the D.H. Holmes store, staring into a rendering of those "supercilious blue and yellow eyes," I knew that Fortuna's wheel had turned to the right place for me to partake of John Kennedy Toole's masterpiece once again. (During the subsequent reading several other coincidences between the book and the rest of my life arose, which reinforced my decision.)
I still find A Confederacy of Dunces to be a truly hysterical ride. Its characters are genuinely rendered and offer an intriguing snapshot of New Orleans life in the early 1960s. (Many local residents are apparently less than enthusiastic about this fact, and about the book's popularity in general.) And the crazy interconnected upheavals that Ignatius causes to occur, often merely by his existence—all the while blaming Fortuna—are inspired and unforgettable.
This book has no comparison in modern literature. It's a crying shame that Toole took his own life without providing us with any other examples of his genius. (The only other Toole publication, The Neon Bible, was written when he was only sixteen and while it shows vague hints of his later abilities, it is a mediocre, formative work that certainly only saw the light of day due to the brilliance of Dunces and its well-deserved Pulitzer prize. The Neon Bible is, unfortunately, both a distraction and a detraction.) But thanks to the diligence of the author's mother who pushed the book on publishers for years, and the vision of author Walker Percy who knew a good thing when he begrudgingly read it, we are now blessed with a true American classic.

After an extended break, the members of Lady Antebellum experienced jitters leading up to their new Take Me Downtown Tour, which opened earlier this month in Peoria, Ill.
"We'd be lying if we said we didn't have a lot of anxiety and butterflies," singer Hillary Scott. But in every city so far, the 27-year-old singer said they've been blown away by the response. "We have this new sense of excitement to be on the stage, performing songs, having fun, and I think that would have never had happened if we hadn't taken a little break."
Following the yearlong Own The Night Tour, which took the Grammy-winning trio — Scott, singer Charles Kelley and multi-instrumentalist Dave Haywood — across the United States, Europe and Australia from the end of 2011 to 2012, the group left the road long enough to record "Golden," their fourth studio album.
Scott and her husband, drummer Chris Tyrrell, gave birth to a daughter. For everyone involved, it was a chance to process all they'd been through — multiple Grammys, platinum-selling albums and singles, high-profile tours and television appearances — and to allow the excitement to build back up. With another album's worth of material to work into the set, the new tour stops at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville on Saturday, Feb. 1, at 7 p.m., with special guests Kip Moore and Kacey Musgraves, who just won the Best Country Album Grammy for "Same Trailer Different Park." (Lady Antebellum nabbed that statue in both 2011 and 2012.)
It took about five songs into the Peoria concert, Scott said, for the nerves to disappear. "I was just about a foot off the stage, I was so excited," said Scott, whose job involves remembering all the words to the songs, slipping backstage for a costume change or two and being in the right place at the right time. "The first weekend of shows, other than just our excitement from all the preparation: They didn't feel like the first shows. They just flowed so well. We were prepared. We had had plenty of time to rehearse, and we felt confident in those rehearsals. We didn't have to think about anything other than soaking up the moment."
Bands with back-catalogues full of big hits will naturally struggle with song selection, and Lady A's no different. "A lot of our most successful songs have been mid-tempo," Scott said. "Between 'Need You Now,' 'Just a Kiss,' 'I Run To You,' and a live show is not going to feel energetic or exciting or fun without the really fast, uptempo songs."
One solution was to cobble together a medley of four popular radio singles. "It takes it away from what would be 20 minutes of our set down to about 7.5 minutes, and the audience gets to hear a piece of all of them," Scott said. "We're thankful because it's allowed us to put in songs with different tempos to keep people on their feet." There are quiet moments in the new show, but only a few; full-blown party mode is the theme.
"Golden," Lady Antebellum's fourth album, was a huge commercial success, despite being snubbed by the Grammy nominating committee. The album was a return-to-roots type of effort — in Kelley's words, a "roll-down-your-window" type of record — and Scott said they're already planning its follow-up.
"In the next couple of weeks, we're going to start bringing songwriters out to start writing for the next project," Scott said. "I can't tell you 100-percent where we're going, because we're still figuring it out. It's exploration-time. We're going to take our time. We're not going to rush. We're just going to write and be very selective. We're going to explore what we're not afraid to talk about, we're not afraid to do production-wise. We're not going to go too far left of the core of who we are, but I definitely think that we're going to see where it's going to take us, and we can always reel ourselves back in."
To prepare for a new album, Lady Antebellum receives submissions from various songwriters. They have virtually all the time they want to get to know a song, but Scott said if she's not sold on one by the end of the first chorus, her impressions don't usually change with repeated listenings. "That's just the way I am," she said. "The songs that stand out are the ones you go back to, over and over and over. That's my personal litmus test: if I want to go back and listen to it, there's a reason."
Occasionally, their label's A&R department will insist on them trying out a particular song, even if they aren't that into it. But Scott said it's a mistake not to give a tune a second chance.
"We were in a meeting, right before we went in to record our second record," Scott remembered, "and the last song that we played for our label was this really crappy work-tape of 'Need You Now.'" Scott was reluctant, but the label talked her into recording it. "Need You Know" went on to sell millions of copies and won four Grammys, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
"They had to talk us into recording the biggest song we've ever had," Scott said.
LADY ANTEBELLUM appears Saturday, Feb. 1, at 7 p.m. with special guests Kip Moore and Kacey Musgraves. Mohegan Sun Arena, 1 Mohegan Sun Blvd., Uncasville. Tickets are $59-$79. Visit ticketmaster.com.

OCC Bulletin 2012-20| July 30, 2012
Community Reinvestment Act: List of Distressed or Underserved Nonmetropolitan Middle-Income Geographies
Chief Executive Officers and Compliance Officers of All National Banks and Federal Savings Associations, Department and Division Heads, All Examining Personnel, and Other Interested Parties
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the agencies) recently announced the availability of the 2012 list of distressed or underserved nonmetropolitan middle-income geographies, in which bank revitalization or stabilization activities will receive Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) consideration as "community development."
The agencies designate "distressed" and "underserved" nonmetropolitan middle-income geographies in accordance with their CRA regulations. The criteria for designating these areas are available on the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) Website (www.ffiec.gov/cra). The designations continue to reflect local economic conditions, including triggers such as unemployment, poverty, and population changes.
The U.S. Census Bureau revised some census tract boundaries as a result of the 2010 census. The current list of distressed or underserved nonmetropolitan middle-income geographies does not reference the 2011 designation. Geographies on the 2012 list will not necessarily have a corresponding 2011 geography. Therefore, users of the data are encouraged to refer to the list published in 2011 and to use the one-year lag provision to determine if an activity is eligible for CRA consideration.
As with past releases, the agencies incorporate a one-year lag period for geographies that are no longer designated as distressed or underserved in the current release. Geographies that qualify for this one-year lag period are eligible to receive consideration for community development activities for 12 months after publication of the current list.
Several of the data sets associated with the criteria for designating the distressed or underserved geographies are no longer offered or were not available at the time of this bulletin. Comparable or existing data were substituted in the calculations.1 In addition, the 2010 census summary files for American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are not yet available. This initial release of the 2012 list does not contain any tract information for those areas. The 2012 list will be updated when information becomes available, which is expected in late 2012. The 2011 lists should be used for those areas until the updated lists are released.
The FFIEC Website includes the current and previous years' lists, along with information about the data sources used to generate those lists.
For more information, please contact your supervisory office or the Compliance Policy Department at (202) 649-5470.
Grovetta N. Gardineer
Deputy Comptroller for Compliance Policy
1 These criteria are provided in Interagency Question and Answer __.12(g)(4)(iii) – 1 (75 FR 11647-48 (Mar. 11, 2010). A technical revision conforming the Interagency Question and Answer to this announcement will be reflected in the next publication of the "Interagency Questions and Answers Regarding Community Reinvestment" in the Federal Register. The domestic five-year net migration provided by Census 2000 (PHC-T-22) Table 2 is not available in the 2010 Census. Therefore, effective with the 2012 list, the following formula for five-year population loss will be used in its place: % 5 year population loss = (2010 population - 2005 population)/2005 population. The threshold for five-year population loss is a loss of 5 percent or more. All data are from the County Intercensal Estimates (2000-2010) at www.census.gov/popest/data/intercensal/county/county2010.html. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has not yet released the new urban influence codes. Therefore the 2012 list will continue to use the 2003 codes at www.ers.usda.gov/Data/UrbanInfluenceCodes/ as the data source for low density. As was the case previously, the 2012 list will use the urban influence codes 7, 10, 11, or 12.

|Egg Nog Fudge with Chocolate Ganache
|My Egg Nog treat
For the fudge
2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup salted butter, cut in to pieces
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
2/3 cup evaporated milk
10 ounces white chocolate, chopped (white chocolate chips can be substituted)
3 cups (7 oz.) mini marshmallows
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2-3 Tablespoons dark rum or bourbon
For the ganache
8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate (chopped, or high quality chips)
1/2 cup heavy cream
Ground nutmeg for garnish
An 8x8 pan (must be at least 2" tall), or a 9x9 pan
Candy Thermometer*
1. Prepare your pan by lining bottom and sides with foil. Allow foil to overhang at least two sides, so it can be used to lift the fudge from the pan in the end. Spray foil with non-stick spray or lightly coat with butter.
2. Stir together the sugar, butter pieces, condensed milk, and evaporated milk in a 3 1/2 quart saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, over medium high heat. Continue to cook, stirring frequently to prevent burning, until a candy thermometer reaches 234 degrees F (soft-ball stage). The thermometer will shoot up to around 224 rather quickly, but it can take up to 20 minutes to slowly climb the remaining 10 degrees. Be patient, stir frequently, and keep your burner set the lowest setting of "high" to maintain a boil, but prevent burning.
2. Immediately remove pan from heat. Remove thermometer. Stir in the white chocolate until it has melted and incorporated completely. Next, stir in the mini marshmallows until they have melted and are thoroughly incorporated. The mixture will be quite thick. Lastly, stir in the rum and nutmeg.
3. Pour mixture in to prepared pan. Cool for 15 minutes.
4. While fudge is cooling, prepare the ganache by placing the chocolate in a medium bowl. In a saucepan, or in the microwave, bring cream to a boil. Pour boiling cream over the bowl of chocolate. Allow to sit for 2 minutes. With a small whisk or fork, gently bring the cream and melted chocolate together until thoroughly combined, smooth and shiny.
5. Pour chocolate ganache over the fudge (which will be warm, but will have set by now). Use a small offset spatula to smooth and level.
6. Cool for 10 minutes, then sprinkle lightly with ground nutmeg for garnish. Allow the fudge to continue to cool, on a baking rack, until it comes to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
7. Lift fudge from pan by the overhanging foil. Gently peel back and remove the foil. With a sharp knife, cut in to 1" squares. Wipe knife in-between slices to keep pieces looking neat and clean. It is easiest to cut the fudge when it is cold.
Store fudge in the refrigerator, tightly wrapped for up to 2 weeks. Best when served at room temperature.

S€ENE Breakthrough Wading into an icy Colorado lake in February is hardly the standard treatment for a man suffering from a sore throat and a lingering cold. But Jack Berry, senior in our Denver office, did so without hesitation last February 17 and rescued two little girls in danger of drowning. It was a fortunate coincidence that Jack was nearby when the youngsters got into trouble. He had decided that morning to stay home to get the rest he needed to fight off his persistent cold. Shortly after lunchtime he answered the doorbell and found a boy about age five at the door, his eyes as big as saucers. The child was obviously very excited, but he asked Jack in a clear, composed voice to please come down to the lake and save two girls who had fallen through the ice. He pointed to Webster Lake, not far away. Jack rushed his daughter to a neighbor's house, asked the neighbor to call the fire department, then ran down to the lake. He saw two little girls out some distance from the shore, deep in the water, trying to hold onto thin ice. Jack waded out toward them in the unfrozen part of the lake, then broke through the last five feet of thin ice to reach the girls. The water at that point came well up on his chest. Jack lifted up the two girls, one under each arm, and struggled back to safety. He took them to his neighbor, who undressed them, dried them off and wrapped them in blankets. Meanwhile, Jack went back to the lake, still soaking wet, to await the firemen and notify them that the children were safe. The girls who had walked out on the thin ice were sisters, ages four and six. Luckily Jack had the strength and height to reach them quickly. He is an athletic man, who stands about six feet tall, weighs 200 lbs., and has played some baseball with his H&S colleagues. They didn't see him at the office the day after his rest was interrupted, because he decided to stay home another day to fight that cold But the entire city saw Jack's picture a few days later in (he Denver Post under the banner heading: "New Faces in the Denver Post Gallery of Fame " He also received a special citation from the Adams County Sheriff's Department. • The graduate Among all the degrees and diplomas awarded this past spring to H&S people and members of their families, the PhD taken by Maurice S. Newman at New York University must rank among the most unusual. After all, how many people in CPA firms can you call "Doctor"? Maurice, Executive Office partner, has been in EO since early 1964 concentrating on the use of advanced mathematical techniques in auditing, He is a close colleague of Ken Stringer and others in the Firm applying statistics and economics to the practice of auditing. Maurice functions as a consulting statistician to several of our larger clients and also as an in-house theoretician to our staff auditors. His path to the PhD degree in business administration started early in 1964, when Maurice, who had been with our MAS group in Chicago, came to Executive Office on a temporary basis. For some months he commuted East for the working week, returning home to his family in Chicago on weekends "Soon I found that I had seen all the shows I wanted to," he recalled recently, "so I signed up for a course at NYU, just to give me something to do in the evenings. I was particularly attracted to courses in economics and money" One thing led to another, and one course to the next When the Firm made his assignment at the EO permanent, the Maurice Newman family (wife Ann and six children) moved to Ridgewood, New Jersey, in the summer of 1965, and the H&S scholar kept right on. Most of the time he carried a two-course load at the NYU Graduate School of Business Administration, just a short walk from EO in the financial district of New York. Much of his course reading was accomplished on the commuter train between Ridgewood and New York. 27

Effective Date: 3/1/2011
(a) Examination of Prospective Jurors.
(1) Prospective Jurors. The court must call for examination not more than the number of prospective jurors that equals the number of jurors necessary for the jury plus the number of peremptory challenges available to the parties, unless otherwise stipulated by the parties and approved by the court. If, after the parties have exercised their challenges, there are more jurors than required by Rule 48, the excess jurors must be excused in the inverse order in which they were called.
(2) Examination. The court may examine prospective jurors itself and it must permit the parties or their attorneys to make their own examination. The court may allow individual examination of prospective jurors in chambers.
(b) Challenges for Cause. If the court, after examination of any prospective juror, finds grounds for challenge for cause, the court must excuse that prospective juror. If the court does not excuse a prospective juror for cause, any party may make a challenge for cause.
(c) Peremptory Challenges.
(1) Number. Regardless of the size of the jury or the number of parties on a side, each side is entitled to four peremptory challenges. If the parties on a side have adverse or antagonistic interests, the court may grant them additional peremptory challenges.
(2) Procedure. All parties on a side must join in the challenge before it can be made unless the court, for good cause, permits otherwise. Peremptory challenges must be taken by the parties alternately, commencing with the plaintiff.
(d) Alternate Jurors.
(1) In General. The court may direct that one or two jurors in addition to the regular panel be called and impaneled to sit as alternate jurors. Alternate jurors in the order they are called replace jurors who, prior to the time the jury retires to consider its verdict, become or are found to be unable or disqualified to perform their duties.
(2) Procedure. Alternate jurors must be drawn in the same manner, have the same qualifications, be subject to the same examination and challenges, take the same oath, and have the same functions, powers, facilities, and privileges as the principal jurors. An alternate juror who does not replace a principal juror must be discharged after the jury retires to consider its verdict, unless the parties otherwise agree.
(3) Peremptory Challenges. If one or two alternate jurors are called each side is entitled to one peremptory challenge in addition to those otherwise allowed by this rule. The additional peremptory challenge may be used only against an alternate juror, and the other peremptory challenges allowed by this rule may not be used against the alternates.
Rule 47 was amended, effective January 1, 1979; January 1, 1988; September 1, 1990; March 1, 2003; March 1, 2011.
Rule 47 was amended, effective March 1, 2011, in response to the December 1, 2007, revision of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The language and organization of the rule were changed to make the rule more easily understood and to make style and terminology consistent throughout the rules.
Rule 47 was amended, effective March 1, 2011, to interchange subdivisions (b) and (c). Former subdivision (b) became subdivision (c), and former subdivision (c) became subdivision (b).
Subdivision (a) was amended, effective January 1, 1988, to provide for a uniform jury selection process.
Subdivision (c), formerly subdivision (b), was amended, effective September 1, 1990, to reduce the number of peremptory challenges from six to four per side.
Subdivision (b), formerly subdivision (c), was adopted, effective January 1, 1979, and was derived from N.D.R.Crim.P. 24.
Subdivision (d) was amended, effective March 1, 2003, to clarify that each "side" is entitled to assert one peremptory challenge against an alternate juror.

Hi there
I am trying to write a servlet that will handle requests like "mydomain/ussdxml.ashx?file=3&msisdn=132123123" for a USSD application.
Is it all all possible to do so in Java or does it have to be implemented in ASP.
ps: I apologise if this question seems unclear. Please ask me questions that will aid in your understanding

I've got him!!!! He is absolutely precious. He doesn't seem scared at all and after a few minutes warmed right up to me. He is definatley a cuddler. So far he seems very mild mannered. I haven't seem him smile yet. Miles just seems to want to take it all in. Even though we believe he is probably around 10/11 months old, he is about the size of an American 6 month old. But developmentally he seems great. He is sitting up well and was interested in playing with some toys' We figured out that he could stand up (I was shocked) and he actually took several steps toward me!
He has 6 teeth. 4 on the top and 2 on the bottom. I brought size 3 diapers but they swallow him. I had better go try to get a shower before breakfast. Then we are off to meet the doctor to sign some paperwork. Then Miles and I will have the whole rest of the day to get to know each other! I'll try to post some pictures when I can figure out how to upload them from here.

A Compendium of Hundreds of Eco-Friendly,
Creatively Frugal Gardening How-Tos, Remedies & Tips
Whether you're a novice or well-seasoned gardening enthusiast, I've put together a how-to guide that is brimming over with hundreds of creative ways to save money in all aspects of caring and tending for your the garden. I've also made sure to keep an emphasis on providing environmentally friendly and non-toxic gardening techniques, methods and procedures throughout the book.
In this information packed book you will be shown how to become a more successful and eco-conscious gardener while saving lots of money at the same time. The readers of my book will benefit from my years and years of extensive research on gardening techniques; from my participation in Master Gardener training; from my continuing attendance in a multitude of gardening workshops; and of course from my love for reading lots of gardening related articles and books.
Everything I've written about in The Shoestring Gardener has been pre-tested by me – though trial and error in my own garden. Believe me … I am constantly on the lookout for new ways, ideas and methods to find simple and easy solutions to my gardening problems. And I've passed these on in The Shoestring Gardener.
My focus is always geared towards finding new ways to have the healthiest, happiest flowers and veggies possible while using only non-toxic, environmentally friendly methods. I also like to see if I can discover a way to streamline a gardening task or chore so that I don't have to put in as much back-breaking effort as is sometimes necessary!
Whether you're young or old, super handy with tools or almost all-thumbs … it doesn't matter! I've presented the projects and techniques in The Shoestring Gardener in a way that allows for almost anyone to be successful. But, if you're very adept with building and making things – as example you happen to be quite handy with woodworking tools – then you'll see right away how you can tweak a project and embellish it because of your advanced knowledge of craftsmanship. But rest assured, I wrote this book for those of us who don't have a garage full of tools or extensive construction abilities … and this includes me! I'm not super handy with building things, but I can follow easy directions and I am semi-creative. So if I can do it … I KNOW you can too!
Honestly, none of the projects, recipes or other information that you'll read in my book are difficult to do, nor is anything complicated. Nope! I'll show you easy doable ways to not only improve your results in the garden in an environmentally friendly way but also how to be a clever and frugal gardener too. Gardening isn't supposed to be tedious and tiresome work, though at times it might be. Rather, gardening should be a way for us to relax and enjoy ourselves no matter what the task is that we're engaged in, to help us get our minds off the trials and tribulations of daily life, and to get closer with nature.
Whether you're brand new to eco-friendly and frugal gardening
and want to learn all about it;
or you love to learn new DIY garden projects;
or you just love to putter around in your garden …
everyone will enjoy this book!
I've written this book with a focus on how to be a responsible recycler – we must work together to help Mother Earth not become a vast dumping ground! With so many of us wisely becoming more and more budget minded in all areas of our life, it's not difficult at all to save a considerable amount of money in our gardening pursuits if you follow the helpful creative tips and instructions found in The Shoestring Gardener.
And really, it's so easy to be a "shoestring gardener". Sometimes homemade is much better than "store bought".
Money Isn't Everything, but Creativeness, Resourcefulness and Ingenuity Is!

I do hope I'll help you to become frugally creative and enthusiastically frugal, that you'll learn many new ways to approach gardening challenges, and that'll you'll really be able to stretch your gardening budget in ways you never thought you could.

I ran over my good water hose with the mower. It wasn't the first time. We have miles of water hose at Hungry Holler because we have TWO faucets for 6 acres. Half of those acres require watering from time to time to daily. I will never run over another hose, thanks to The Shoestring Gardener, Claudia F. Brownlie's fabulously practical new ebook.
I found hose salvation in Chapter 2. Claudia says dig a hole to fit a galvanized tub and store the hose in the tub. A light bulb went off in my head. I saw the beauty of this solution immediately. I am a gardening fiend and only another gardening fiend would come up with this solution. There are a few details, of course, drilling drain holes in the tub being the major one. The solutions and ideas in Claudia's book are real life-practical and doable on a shoestring. Having a heap of hose in the yard is a pain. You gotta mow around it, move it, mow where it was. With the hose in the tub, you can mow right up to the tub opening. It's a small thing that's huge to those of us who are anal about our yards and gardens.
Claudia is a hands on author. I found this out years ago when I turned to her hypertufa books for help. She's been there. She's done it. And she writes the book on it.
The ebook is easy to navigate. There are seven chapters on everything from starting and growing plants to making practical garden art. Within each chapter are descriptive links that take the busy gardener right to the chosen subject. I love that. No hunting. No scrolling. I've got a head of steam up. My hands are dirty and I want to check something. I go right to it. I find the answer. I complete my project. Then I wash my hands using one of Claudia's great eco-friendly cleansers (Chapter 5).
I'm visual. The Shoestring Gardener is illustrated with charmingly simple drawings. One glance and the reader sees what the clean writing is describing. I can make a rain chain in my sleep (and have since reading Chapter 4) because I saw it in Claudia's ebook.
One of my manias is concrete. I've read countless articles on making your own concrete garden art. For the most part, they leave me thinking, this person doesn't have a clue about DYI concrete work. Claudia does. She comes right out and says don't bother with little dinky batches of concrete made in buckets. Whomp up a whole bag of mix in a wheelbarrow (Chapter 4). It's easier in the long run, and it's better to have too much than too little. This is a mortal lock fact.
Making compost. It isn't that hard. Claudia's real life recipes and techniques are spot on (Chapter 3). She explains what compost is (amendment to soil) and what it isn't (fertilizer).
Do not throw away a mousetrap nor old guttering until you read The Shoestring Gardener.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Senate on Thursday confirmed John Brennan as the Obama administration"s next director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
The Senate voted 63-34 in favor of Brennan, overcoming Republican Senator Rand Paul"s attempt to slow the White House counter-terrorism advisor from becoming the next head of the CIA.
Paul, who spent nearly 13 hours speaking on the Senate floor on Wednesday, was irate about the reluctance of Obama administration officials to declare that "targeted killings" of American citizens on U.S. soil were unconstitutional.

Toss will be crucial in series against Pak: Dhoni
"Winning the toss will be crucial because dew may have an impact. If you see both the sides, they are quite same. Their ability to play spinners is quite same. I think it will be nice couple of games," he said after second and final twenty20 match against England here last night.
The Twenty20 matches against Pakistan are scheduled on December 25 and 28 in Bangalore and Ahmedabad respectively, while the ODI series starts in Chennai on December 30.
The second one-day game against Pakistan will be held in Kolkata on January 3 followed by the last game on January 6 in Delhi.
On playing Pakistan and the importance of the series, Dhoni said, "tell me one series which is not big for us. Whether we play England, Pakistan, Australia or any other series. For us it is all the same."
"That is how we look at it and don't really look into who we are playing because that can only increase the pressure. We keep it very simple, whoever the opposition is. We look at the format and try to execute our plans."
The three-match series against Pakistan will be followed by the five-match ODI rubber against England that commences on January 11 at Rajkot. The tourists will return to India after taking a break for Christmas and New Year.
The other four games are to be held at Kochi (January 15), Ranchi (January 19), Mohali (January 23) and Dharamsala (January 27).
This will be followed with a series against Australia at home in February.
On the non-stop cricket schedule, Dhoni said, "As an individual, if you feel that playing a series or the next few games you may get injured, which may take you out of the game for six to eight weeks, then it is better off to tell BCCI that you need some rest because you won't be available if you play a few games so it's crucial."
"I am not worried about too many series happening because I am someone who loves to play cricket. Maybe a few years from the other end will be shortened because of the amount of cricket we play."
"But it is a good thing because you are always playing the best bowlers in the world and the momentum keeps you going. I am not worried about too many games."

You've got a new iPhone 5, but you just know that the environments you live in will mean your precious new phone will get scuffed quicker than if it was being used as a skateboard.
In steps the Otter Box Defender, a tough case that promises the upmost protection for your shiny new iPhone.
The Defender is the top-of-the-range Otter Box case in terms of protection and comes in a variety of colours. This isn't a leather pouch, or funky looking bumper case, but something that is primarily designed to stop your phone being harmed.
To protect your iPhone you get a tough plastic inner case that snaps around the iPhone, locking it inside. The case itself comes with a clear plastic screen protector, a clear slot to show the iPhone 5 Apple logo, but no protection for the camera - you've got the sapphire glass for that, don't forget.
Once you've successfully got your iPhone 5 into the inner plastic case, you can then fit the rubber outer shell that will help protect the phone if it's dropped.
READ: iPhone 5 cases: Our pick of the best
The power and volume buttons are constantly covered, but there are pull-back rubber covers for the mute switch, headphones and Lightning connector sockets.
The covers do what they set out to do, though the mute switch is buried. If you like to play with it as a nervous twitch, forget it.
These covers do give you some degree of water protection, however don't presume that means your iPhone 5 is waterproof when it's in the Defender - it isn't.
In a few very unscientific drops tests and throws around the office, the Defender appears to do what it sets out to do - protect your iPhone 5 - and while we don't presume it will make your iPhone 5 invincible, it is likely to go a long way in helping to protect your phone more than if it was unsheathed.
The catch? Well adding all that protection means that your incredibly thin iPhone 5 is no longer incredibly thin.
With the Defender case on and clipped into the accompanying belt holster - yes, really - the end result is a phone that is double the thickness, longer, and wider than the phone you started with. You can still put it in your pocket, but only just.
If you are in the building trade or live a really extreme life that means you are likely to smash your iPhone then this is probably for you. It's easy to fit, easy to remove (with a little effort) and looks to offer enough protection for most people - certainly us.
READ: iPhone filmmaking: 5 tips from the director of Spike Island
If however life isn't that tough, you enjoy your soft moisturised hands, and know that your phone generally enjoys being in a lined pocket, then the Defender will be massive overkill. If you still want to go Otter Box we would recommend something from the Commuter series.

We're supposed to have a rally supporting the students' issues on the capitol steps, but I'm not sure the weather is going to cooperate on that. Currently, there's a 100% chance of rain all day. Fabulous day to spend outside mingling with politicians! I just posted a story over on Creative Construction today if you want to go over and take a read.

Dr. John McArthur has been named Cameron University's 17th president, effective July 1, 2013. He will replace Dr. Cindy Ross, who earlier this year announced her intention to retire this summer.
McArthur currently serves as Cameron University's Provost, the chief academic officer of the university and the second highest ranking administrator at CU.
"John McArthur has a track record as a strong, confident academic officer for Cameron, and this search elicited a variety of solid, capable candidates," said Richard R. Dunning, Chairman of the University of Oklahoma, Cameron University and Rogers State University Board of Regents. "We are fortunate that a person of John's caliber and accomplishments has agreed to serve as President of Cameron, and we look forward to working with him to further the University's mission in the years to come."
"I am tremendously honored to be selected as the next President of Cameron University and I look forward to working with our community," McArthur said. "I wish to thank members of the University of Oklahoma Board of Regents for their confidence and support. President Ross has been an incredible asset for CU and for Oklahoma. She will be greatly missed and has been a great mentor and role model. I am excited about the future of Cameron University and for the opportunity to help shape that future with the outstanding faculty and staff and incredibly supportive community members in Lawton, Fort Sill, Duncan and beyond. We will continue to further the Cameron University mission and values by keeping our students front and center for their education and for the growth of the communities we serve."
McArthur has served in his current role since 2006. Among his daily responsibilities include the accomplishment of student learning, scholarly activity and service as components of the university's mission. He has had a leadership role in major campus initiatives, including two strategic plans, campus physical improvements, the opening of an academic advising center, and the implementation of a campus-wide Emergency Communication System. Cameron also received a successful 10-year reaccreditation from the Higher Learning Commission in 2010. Individual programs for teacher education, chemistry, business and music have also received accreditation.
He served as Dean of the School of Science and Technology at Cameron from 2004-06. McArthur also has taught at Colorado State University-Pueblo and Southeastern Oklahoma State University, serving as Chair of the Department of Computer Science and Technology at SOSU from 1999-2001.
McArthur was a National Merit Scholar and received his Bachelor of Arts in Mathematical Sciences from Rice University in 1987. He earned his Master of Arts in Applied Mathematics from the University of Colorado in 1993 and his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Colorado in 1994.

Pat Donnelly needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 94 designs submitted by 30 freelance designers.
Hi, we're a tech start-up, been busy over the last year working away on our creation. We think it is a tool that will help all other software developers, as we built it from a need we had. This is our story:
"We've all been there. Despite all our testing and validation, our software deployment runs into a major problem after it goes live. It seems like there is no substitute for Live Traffic. Even more annoying is that it often happens immediately after we've gone live......if only there was a way of deploying in a Parallel Universe and watching what happens there first before we put it live.
Well now there is, with Parallel Proxy from Cloud 2020 Solutions. Ok, so you've probably guessed that no actual Parallel Universe is involved, but read on to see how it works..."
This is aimed at techie software developers. People who like Star Trek, anything to do with Sci Fi and whose attention will be grabbed by talk of Parallel Universes.... people like me! However the decision maker (financial person) will also need to visit our web site so I don't want anything that will make him/her feel we are a "not credible small company" as our solution has to portray a "rock solid 100% reliable" image to pacify them.
The logo will be an essential part of our Web Site and Product design look and feel. I need a logo for "Parallel Proxy" that captures the idea of our product. Words that spring to mind are "Parallel, Universe, Duality, Splitting, Redundancy, Internet Traffic, Secure Software Release".
I've included a screenshot attachment of the current interface of our product. Hopefully you will be able to gather more from this. Once we have our logo, I'll then be able to proceed to re-design the website and the product.

1869 (150 Kb); Oil on white primed canvas, 73 x 92 cm (28 3/4 x 36 1/4 in)
La Grenouillère (`The Froggery') was a restaurant and bathing place on a small branch of the Seine at Croissy. It was an extremely popular area because the Railway line from Paris to Saint-Germain, the first to be opened in France, had a station at nearby Chatou. Both Monet and Renoir painted several views of it in 1869 (Monet: La Grenouillère, Metropolitan Museum, New York; Renoir: La Grenouillère, Oskar Reinhardt Collection, Winterthur, Switzerland). Several successful academic painters had houses nearby, and the place was extensively written about, sometimes approvingly, sometimes not so, during the 1860s. It was thought of as a very `contemporary' subject, and its popularity was confirmed in the year that Monet and Renoir painted it, when it was visited by the Emperor Napoleon III and Eugénie, his wife.
(detail, 210 Kb)
La Grenouillère was a riverside bathing and boating resort, popular among weekend trippers during the Second Empire (1852-1870) and after. It had a floating restaurant which is seen in another of the paintings executed by Monet during his two-month stay there in the late summer of 1869, and it appears in similar works by Renoir often painted sitting alongside Monet. The resort was situated on the Ile de Croissy, facing the left bank of the Seine.
In Monet's picture, which looks northeasterly, the afternoon light falls from behind the artist--a lighting effect he would have seen in Manet's studio work. However, although this full-face light is used, it is not exploited for the overall brilliance it gives to more open scenery. Monet only turned to this device in the 1870s. Instead, because of the close proximity of dense, overhanging trees, Monet has produced a study with alternating blocks of dark pierced by patches of dazzling sunlight, resulting in contrasts of light and shade reminiscent of Manet's work from the early 1860s. The juicy quality of Monet's paint is also similar to that found in Manet's work of this decade.
Unlike Manet's work, this painting was executed outdoors, and the brushwork is a witness to the speed required to capture the transitory effects which such scenery offered. The paint layer is generally opaque and hides the white ground, except in the most sketchily executed area, the upper right-hand corner. However, the white ground has helped retain the brilliance of the paint layer, which has recently been cleaned. A letter from Monet to his friend, the artist Frédéric Bazille (1841-1870) on 25 September 1869, when he was working at La Grenouillère, makes it clear that Monet was still working in the traditional manner, seeing studies like this as preparatory work for larger, possibly studio executed works.
In this painting, Monet's brushwork is vigorous and the individually distinguishable brushmarks indicate that hog's hair brushes between about 1-2cm (2/5-4/5in) wide were used. There is little variation between the size of stroke in foreground and background to suggest depth, although more uniformly straight horizontal strokes and pastel shades on the distant water aid the impression of depth and recession. His brushwork is strongly descriptive, catching the character of different forms. Long unbroken strokes outline the boats, short horizontal daubs indicate the foreground water, abrupt jabs are used for flowers and foliage. Monet rejected traditional, smooth brushwork which created an illusion of surface texture; instead, his varied handling helps to evoke the actual natural textures. Monet's talent for summarizing the essential character of his landscapes was already apparent in his early caricatures, which demanded an ability to capture basic features concisely.
Monet's palette for this picture was already fairly limited, moving toward the restricted range of the Impressionists. Black--the absence of light--appears to have been abandoned, confirming his move away from Manet's influence. Most of the colors typically found in Monet's Impressionist palette are already in evidence. Vermilion, one of the few traditional colors used by Monet, has been identified virtually pure in the red flowers on the left, and mixed with other colors elsewhere. The greens were viridian, emerald and chrome, the latter a commercially produced mixture of Prussian blue and chrome yellow widely marketed in the period. All three greens were modern colors. Chrome yellow and lemon yellow mixed, were used in the brightest greens of the background trees. Because of their tendency to blacken in the presence of sulphides, the chrome yellows were abandoned by most of the Impressionists toward the end of the 1870s. Monet replaced them with the more stable cadmium yellows. Cobalt violet, available from 1859, was the first opaque pure violet pigment to appear on the market and was therefore rapidly adopted by artists. It was used here by Monet in mixtures, for example in the foreground water. The early eighteenth century invention, Prussian blue, was used by Monet in the darkest mixtures, such as the swimming costumes, while cobalt blue is the bright blue of the water. Lead white was consistently used by Monet throughout his career, but, as strong contrasts form the basis of this composition, its role in this picture was relatively limited. In his paintings from the 1870s on, lead white was liberally used in most of his color mixtures, bringing with it a new overall brilliance and pale pastel-like quality, as he sought to depict the light tones and minimal light-dark contrasts of full sunlit landscapes. Interestingly, a family of colors commonly used by Monet from the early 1870s, the red alizarin lakes, has not been identified on this picture. The artificial alizarin, more permanent than the natural organic root derivative madder lake, was only discovered in 1868, which may account for its absence here. Both Prussian blue and probably chrome green were abandoned by Monet during the 1870s. Monet combined slurred wet-in-wet mixing on the canvas with premixed hues. For example, the somber colors on the boats are obtained by mixing complementaries, like red and green, which give darkish neutral hues that are more colorful than those made by sullying a color with black.
The apparently accidental nature of the composition is deceptive. The striking horizontal of the duckboard, which cuts right across the picture surface, is placed almost exactly halfway up the picture. This was an unconventional device at this date. The broad shapes of light and dark above and below that line echo each other, giving a flat decorative unity to the composition which is reinforced by the harmonizing colors and patterned brushwork. Thus, even at this early stage in his career, Monet was already preoccupied with contrasts of naturalistic illusion and flat pattern, which were to become a feature of Impressionism, and to remain with Monet throughout his life.

Doyle and Casey will lead the Crimson on and off the court in 2013.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Rising senior Natalie Doyle and rising junior Kristen Casey have been voted as co-captains by their teammates for the 2013 season.
Doyle, a defensive specialist from San Francisco, Calif., has played in 63 matches in her career and has averaged 2.39 dps and 2.76 aps. This past season she set a season-high with 18 digs against Penn Sept. 29 followed by a career-high five aces against Brown Oct. 5. She appeared in 23 matches as a sophomore, registering 366 assists and notching 2.82 dps. As a freshman, Doyle played in 17 matches and ranked second on the team in assists.
"Natalie has always demonstrated discipline and commitment to our program," head coach Jen Weiss commented. "On the court, her positive energy and aggressive backcourt play makes our whole offensive and defensive system stronger. She leads by example and gives us all of her effort in practices, lifts and competition. I know she will be a great role model for her teammates. "
Casey, who played outside hitter as a freshman but made the transition to libero as a sophomore, has played in 49 matches and averaged 3.80 dps in 2012 and 2.71 kps in 2011. Casey ranked eighth in the Ivy League in digs (3.80) in 2012 after ranking second amongst the Crimson with 2.71 kps as a freshman. The La Jolla, Calif., native set a career-high with 23 digs at Columbia Oct.13 and was named to the New England Challenge All-Tournament team after averaging 3.89 dps in three matches.
"Kristen has demonstrated commitment to our team and has great court awareness and a high volleyball IQ," Weiss said. "This past season she played a new position and embraced her new role. She did everything she could to learn and better herself as the libero for the sake of the team. I could not be more proud of her for accepting and excelling in her new position.
Harvard will return 10 letterwinners in 2013 after posting a 7-7 record in Ivy League play.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- Broncos running back Willis McGahee tore a ligament in his right knee and is expected to miss the rest of the regular season.
An MRI conducted Monday showed a "nonsurgical" tear, said coach John Fox. He said there was no immediate plan to put the 10-year veteran on injured reserve.
Backups Ronnie Hillman and Lance Ball are expected to share McGahee's spot, with Knowshon Moreno also available.
McGahee has rushed for 731 yards this season. He had 55 yards against San Diego before he left Sunday's game in the second quarter with the knee injury.

Columbia River CRKT 2010N Crawford Kasper Dragon Tactical Fixed Blade Knife 4.5" Bead Blast Blade, Black Zytel Handles
CR2010N: Crawford/Kasper Dragon
Columbia River
Bob Kasper, the late writer and combat instructor, designed the basic outline of the C/K Dragon after ten years of study into the principles of extreme in-close fighting developed by Dr. Gordon Eric Perrigard over fifty years ago. These techniques use automatic conditioned reflexes with minimal body movement. The knife is considered as part of the hand.
Bob sent his sketch to award-winning custom knifemakers Pat and Wes Crawford of Crawford Knives in West Memphis, Arkansas, who developed the handle scales. As Pat Crawford says, "This knife is all business. I hope it will become a part of Bob's legacy to the professional martial arts community."
Like its namesake, the C/K Dragon bites (with the tapered tip), claws (with the long Wharncliffe cutting edge), and strikes (with the pommel) its adversary. We at CRKT have engineered our production model to be as close as possible to the Crawford custom Dragon, which has proven popular with law enforcement and military operators.
The 4.50" full tang blade has a tapered Wharncliffe grind for great penetrating power. It is made of exceptionally tough 9Cr18MoV high-chromium stainless steel to stand up to the worst abuse.
The handle features a deep finger choil and textured zytel scales with deep diagonal grooves for optimum grip with gloved hands and under wet conditions, aided by deep friction grooves at the thumb. At the pommel, a pointed metal hammer tip is useful for window breaking and other tactical impact needs.
True to Bob Kasper's concept, this is a knife with perfect balance that truly feels like part of your hand. Mass is centered at the palm, and the tapered blade tip makes the Dragon feel like a much smaller knife.
Despite its tactical intentions, we have found that thanks to its weight, balance, grip and long precision cutting edge, the Dragon makes a very functional and versatile knife in the shop, too. Enter the C/K Dragon.
