Who will take home the statuette in key categories at Sunday's 85th Academy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles? USA TODAY movie critic Claudia Puig weighs in on who will win and should win.
Beasts of the Southern Wild
Django Unchained
Les Mis�rables
Life of Pi
Silver Linings Playbook
Zero Dark Thirty
Will/should win: Argo. The front-runner in the Oscar race is a rare political thriller that artfully blends nail-biting suspense and riotous humor. Unlike fellow nominee Zero Dark Thirty, Argo is based on a little-known actual event. Set during the Iranian hostage crisis in 1979, the film revolves around the daring rescue of a half-dozen American Embassy workers by a CIA operative (director/actor Ben Affleck). Its detailed re-creation of the period feels startlingly authentic, and the ensemble cast is top-notch. Though Lincoln has more of the classic Oscar patina, Hollywood seems to be falling all over itself to make up for Ben Affleck's snub in the directing category. But film academy politics aside, Argo is a razor-sharp Hollywood satire, an edge-of-the-seat great escape caper and overall the year's most entertaining film.
Michael Haneke, Amour
Ang Lee, Life of Pi
David O. Russell, Silver Linings Playbook
Steven Spielberg, Lincoln
Benh Zeitlin, Beasts of the Southern Wild
Will win: Spielberg. He is undeniably a terrific storyteller and a superb director of action sequences. The director draws strong performances from a powerful cast, and this story of Abraham Lincoln's efforts to end the Civil War and abolish slavery is immersive and informative. The only drawback is Spielberg's occasional indulgence in patriotic tear-jerking moments, underscored by John Williams' swelling score.
Should win: Lee. Yann Martel's magical-realism tale of an Indian boy shipwrecked on the Pacific for 227 days in a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger was considered to be unfilmable. But the Taiwanese director is the most fearless filmmaker working today. Life of Pi is the year's most visually stunning movie, an enchanting and astonishing technical achievement, and 3-D has never been better employed to enhance storytelling. With its meticulously artful blend of CGI and live action, Lee's directorial feat is the year's most spectacular.
Bradley Cooper, Silver Linings Playbook
Daniel Day-Lewis, Lincoln
Hugh Jackman, Les Mis�rables
Joaquin Phoenix, The Master
Denzel Washington, Flight
Will/should win: Day-Lewis. The winner of two best-actor Oscars, Day-Lewis hits no false notes in his perfectly calibrated, mesmerizing and understated performance as the contemplative and devilishly funny 16th president in the final months of his life. The underlying genius in Day-Lewis' work is the subtle way he reveals the passion and Machiavellian determination that drives Lincoln, masked by the folksy parables he often employs to convey his points. Within minutes of watching his performance, we sense Oscar writ large all over it — in the best possible way. In a career of spectacular performances, this is Day-Lewis' most impressive.
Jessica Chastain, Zero Dark Thirty
Jennifer Lawrence, Silver Linings Playbook
Emmanuelle Riva, Amour
Quvenzhan� Wallis, Beasts of the Southern Wild
Naomi Watts,The Impossible
Will win: Lawrence. At only 22, Lawrence is already on Hollywood's A-list, thanks to wonderful performances in 2010's Winter's Bone and last year's The Hunger Games. She is terrific here as Tiffany, an unstable young widow who connects emotionally with Bradley Cooper's damaged character while they work on a dance routine. Hers is an exceptionally charismatic comic performance, but not the year's best.
Should win: Riva. The 85-year-old French actress is astounding as Anne, a vital, dignified former music teacher who has a series of strokes and grows increasingly disabled. Riva is thoroughly convincing as a cultivated, affluent elderly woman and just as believable when her character begins to slowly recede, frail and partly paralyzed, her eyes and smallest gestures speaking volumes. Though Riva makes it look effortless, it's a hauntingly masterful performance that stays with the viewer.
Supporting actor
Alan Arkin, Argo
Robert De Niro, Silver Linings Playbook
Philip Seymour Hoffman, The Master
Tommy Lee Jones, Lincoln
Christoph Waltz, Django Unchained
Will win: Jones. Hollywood veteran Jones is deservedly admired by the academy (he won supporting actor in 1994 for The Fugitive) for his dry wit and no-nonsense style. Jones makes a lasting impression with his portrayal of "radical Republican" Rep. Thaddeus Stevens by donning a wobbly wig and displaying both a wry manner and firebrand tendencies.
Should win: Waltz. This is almost the flip side of Waltz's Oscar-winning role in 2009's Inglourious Basterds. As Dr. King Schultz, the German-born dentist turned bounty hunter, Waltz brings Tarantino's distinctive dialogue to the kind of vivid life it deserves. His courtly, verbose performance is multidimensional — lively, ironic, impassioned, vicious and always intelligent. Waltz has become something akin to Tarantino's muse. Their symbiotic connection is like that of Tim Burton/Johnny Depp or, in the past, Scorsese/De Niro.
Supporting actress
Amy Adams, The Master
Sally Field, Lincoln
Anne Hathaway, Les Mis�rables
Helen Hunt, The Sessions
Jacki Weaver, Silver Linings Playbook
Will/should win: Hathaway. She is not only pitch-perfect as the tragic seamstress Fantine, but her half-sung, half-sobbed rendition of I Dreamed a Dream can rip the heart out of the most hardened cynics. (The fact that it was performed in one 4�-minute take is even more impressive.) Even though the film is divisive, most agree that Hathaway's was an impeccable performance.
Animated feature
The Pirates! Band of Misfits
Wreck-it Ralph
Will win: Wreck-it Ralph. This funny, sweet and visually dazzling 3-D computer-animated film won the Annie Award for best animated feature. One of Disney's most clever animated films in years, it brings vivid arcade worlds to imaginative life on the big screen.
Should win: Frankenweenie. This love story between a boy and his dog is wonderfully poignant, funny and enthralling. It is also the year's smartest animated film. A beautifully crafted homage to classic horror films, it's also a study of grief as well as a commentary on the mysteries of science and those who narrow-mindedly fear its advances. Director Tim Burton takes his trademark fascination with the macabre and leavens it with emotion and sharp wit.

OK, so 78% of our readers believe the restomodded Volvo P1800S is overpriced at $69,900. We can see that, but we're going to present you with a much tougher call today: a gen-yoo-wine, low-mile Hammer!
Nowadays, a 3,700-pound sedan with a 375-horsepower V8 under the hood is pretty respectable, but back in 1987 it was utterly insane. You'd have paid over 170 grand for an '87 Mercedes-Benz 300E with the full 6.0 liter AMG treatment, and that comes to about $318,000 in 2009 bucks. So, what we have here is such a car, with just 19,600 miles on the clock and apparently in excellent condition, and the owner has set a $57,500 Buy It Now price for it. Let's face it, this thing is one of the all-time great factory hot rods and no doubt quite valuable, but is 58 grand edging into Crack Pipe pricing territory with the economy the way it is now? You decide!

Adolescents in substance abuse treatment report using someone else's medical marijuana
A study published in the July 2012 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry found that diverted medical marijuana use among adolescents receiving treatment for substance abuse is very common.
Study participants from two adolescent substance abuse treatment programs in the Denver metropolitan area were asked questions about their medical marijuana use.121 of 164 adolescents (73.8%) reported using medical marijuana that had been recommended for someone else, also known as diverted medical marijuana, a median of 50 times. In the study, adolescents who used medical marijuana began using marijuana regularly at a younger age, and showed more marijuana abuse/dependence and conduct disorder symptoms than adolescents who did not use medical marijuana. Additionally, most of the adolescents rated smoking marijuana overall as having slight or no risk.
Recent state and federal policy changes have allowed for more widespread legalized medical marijuana use in Colorado. At the time of the study only 41 adolescents in the state held valid registry identification cards for medical marijuana, which suggests that adolescents using medical marijuana are more likely to have obtained it from adult registered users than from peers. The study also calls into question the adequacy of the safeguards meant to prevent medical marijuana use by individuals to whom it was not recommended, adolescents in particular. As the study authors note, in Colorado, medical marijuana is not handled like other medications that are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA): once approved for medical marijuana usage, individuals can purchase different amounts or even grow a personal supply.
Lead author Dr. Salomonsen-Sautel said of the study, "Many high-risk adolescent patients in substance abuse treatment have used diverted medical marijuana on multiple occasions, which implies that substantial diversion is occurring from registered users. Our results support the need for policy changes that protect against diversion of medical marijuana to adolescents."
In a related editorial, Dr. Alessandra Kazura raises questions about the safety and efficacy of marijuana as a medical treatment and discusses the perceptions adolescents may have about marijuana and its potential risks.

Some people who are at risk for endocarditis take preventive (prophylactic) antibiotics before they
have certain dental or surgical procedures that could
put bacteria or fungi into their blood. The antibiotics lower the risk of
getting endocarditis.
Not all people who may have risk factors for endocarditis take antibiotics. The people who take antibiotics have certain heart conditions that make getting endocarditis even more
dangerous. If you do not have these conditions, antibiotics are not likely to help you.
These heart conditions include:
Your doctor can tell you whether you need to take antibiotics. Before you
have any medical, dental, or surgical procedures, tell all other health
professionals who may treat you that you are at risk for endocarditis.
If your doctor or dentist recommends that you take preventive
antibiotics, the medicine typically is given 30 minutes to 1 hour before the

Amazon launched a while ago book lending for Kindle e-books. On participating titles, you can lend books to anyone for 2 weeks.
Here's how it works:
To determine whether a title is lendable before buying, just check the product details section on the Amazon book listing. To check on books you've already bought, just point your browser to the Manage Your Kindle page, scroll down to the Your Orders section, and click the plus sign next to your books.
Lend-able books will display a "Loan this Book" button. Click the "Loan this Book" option and enter the email address. You're done!
Keep in mind that as long as the person has a Kindle, ore use a Windows or Mac computer, or has an iOS/Android/BlackBerry/Windows Phone 7 device, they can access your lended book.
It would be great if publishers include "lendability" either as a standard or as an option, but many publishers are against it, apparently. It's also important to note that even books that are loanable can only be loaned once.

Days after Samsung introduced a Tizen OS-based smartphone, a UK-based analyst declared the operating system a non-starter, despite its backing by a consortium of heavyweights including Intel, Samsung and LG Electronics.
"Is Tizen going anywhere? In a word, no," wrote Andrew Sheehy, chief analyst for Generator Research in an online research report.
To support his view, Sheehy said the OS is five years behind Google's Android and Apple's iOS and has the support of only a small cadre of developers compared to the millions writing applications for Android and iOS. "Watching Tizen's development is like watching a car crash in slow motion," he wrote.
In comments to Computerworld , he added, "As far as a viable alternative to Android, Tizen is dead in the water."
Samsung showed the new Tizen OS-based Samsung Z, a 4.8-in. display smartphone, due to ship in the third quarter, at the third annual Tizen Developer Conference held last week in San Francisco. About 600 Tizen developers attended the conference in San Francisco, compared to the 6,000 attending the Apple WWDC the day before, Sheehy noted. And Apple has 9 million registered developers, according to CEO Tim Cook.
It "will be a lot harder [to] attract a critical mass of developers" to Tizen, Sheehy wrote.
In an email to Computerworld, Sheehy also said that Samsung may be particularly vulnerable with Tizen's expected demise.
Seoul, Korea-based Samsung started shipping the Tizen-based Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo smartwatches in April. Some analysts have said Samsung's interest in Tizen comes out of the company's desire to gradually separate itself from Android and Google in order to build its own ecosystem of apps and services atop of its own hardware instead of relying on Google for apps and services. Even though Samsung is clearly seeking alternatives to Android, it makes the biggest number of Android smartphones sold globally of any vendor.
"Samsung will eventually have to accept that it needs to find a way of working either with the existing market structure or around it" with the demise of Tizen, Sheehy said. "For all its technical brilliance, its incredibly fast product development, brand equity and global distribution, Samsung's soft underbelly is software. Software will become increasingly important as the market develops and is where Google is way out in front."
Asked to respond, a Samsung spokeswoman said the company "is declining to comment" on Sheehy's remarks.
Sheehy is not alone in his view on Tizen, although other analysts have not been as definitive in their condemnation.
Analyst Jack Gold of J. Gold Associates, said the chances that Tizen will grow and become important in devices are "slim to none." Tizen "may have a niche play in non-mainstream devices like TVs and appliances, but as a general purpose OS for phones, tablets, and PC's, it won't be a force in the market at all," he said.
Some application developers said they were been excited to see Tizen on smartwatches and other devices in an evolving Internet of Things world. Monica Lam, who is on leave as a computer science professor at Stanford University and is also CEO of start-up MobiSocial, said in an interview that many devices can't accommodate the processing power required for a full Android phone, and need an efficient OS like Tizen. Lam delivered a keynote at the recent Tizen conference.
Lam's company built Omlet, an open and programmable messaging platform that can run on the Gear 2 and the Android-based Galaxy S5 smartphone, as well as the $99 Asus Zen smartphone, which uses an Intel processor. Lam said she hopes Omlet can be used in cars and wearables that rely on Tizen.
The relatively new Tizen Association, an industry consortium supporting the mobile OS, has defended the fledgling OS since last November, and recently announced it has 88 partner organizations and companies, after adding 37 more in May. In a statement from May, Tizen Association board member Ryoichi Sugimura from Japanese carrier NTT Docomo, said the group continues to attract support from "some of the most innovative players in the connected device ecosystem." The enthusiasm from supporters is greatest from app developers, he added.
The association and Intel didn't respond immediately when asked to comment on Sheehy's attack.
Sheehy said his analyst firm has no commercial relationship with either Apple or Google and he holds no shares in either company. Noting the firm recently published a report that was harsh on Google, he added, "We're not Google fan boys."
Sheehy also admitted that Generator is not always as opinionated as it was about Tizen's dismal future, but added, "in cases like this where it's clear to us what's happening, then why not tell it as it is?"

Democratic Governor Jerry Brown's idea of sending state prisoners to county jails may be helpful to the goal of meeting a federal court order to pare 30,000 inmates from the state prison population.
But it's causing major headaches for some local governments.
At the end of the process, public reaction to the new arrangement may be much more negative than resistance to tax increases or other means of keeping criminals in their original residences of incarceration.
Brown is trying to do more with less, usually a difficult proposition in any situation with inadequate resources.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Caught between two bad choices--release prisoners outright or find the funds to build more expensive prisons--he has opted for a third choice: shift state prisoners to the counties with payment for their housing services.
Some counties, San Mateo and Santa Clara, for example, have had little difficulty in absorbing the new prison population; that's because they have vacancies in their jails.
Other counties, such as Los Angeles and Orange, have little room to accommodate their allocations of new prisoners. Both anticipate reaching capacity within a few months.
Then what?
Absent some kind of radical change, local governments are going to find themselves in the same fix as the state before the prisoners were shifted.
Instead of the state releasing prisoners, county sheriffs will undertake the undesirable task. That may leave Brown sleeping a bit better at night, but it's certainly likely to keep local authorities awake and the public angry.
Of course, the public bears most of the responsibility for passing ballot propositions designed to keep criminals in prison for longer periods of time and refusing to accept new taxes to pay for the facilities.
Over time that deadly combination has created the mess we're in today.
The more that local jurisdictions release prisoners because of overcrowding at their facilities, the more the public will react in fear of released criminals living nearby.
Which level of government will be assigned blame for the mess?

Age: 22
Height: 6'6" Weight: 250
Chambers received All-American recognition as a senior at
Eastern Kentucky,
where he led the team in tackles and assists in three straight seasons. Chosen
in the first round of the 1973 NFL draft (eighth overall) by the Bears, he
moved directly into the starting lineup.
1973 Season Summary
Appeared and started in all 14 games
(Bracketed numbers indicate league rank in Top 20)
Sacks – N/A
Interceptions – 0
Fumble recoveries – 2
Tackles – 101
Assists – 31
Awards & Honors:
NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year: AP, PFWA
Pro Bowl
Bears went 3-11 to finish fourth in the NFC Central as the defense ranked 17th overall and tied for 12th with 32 sacks.
Chambers followed up his outstanding rookie season by receiving second-team All-NFL recognition from UPI and the Associated Press and first-team All-NFC honors from AP and The Sporting News in 1974. While he was not named to the Pro Bowl in '74, he was in 1975 and '76 and was a consensus first-team All-Pro in 1976, his peak season. However, a major knee injury limited Chambers to four games in 1977 and contract issues caused him to be traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for 1978. Injuries and illness hampered him in his first season with the Bucs but, moved to right end opposite Lee Roy Selmon, Chambers again became a big-play lineman in a 1979 season in which defense carried the team all the way to the NFC Championship game, after which he retired. Overall, he was named to the Pro Bowl three times in seven years, but injuries cut short a career that began with great promise.
Rookie of the Year Profiles feature players who were named Rookie of the Year in the NFL (including NFC/AFC), AFL (1960-69), or USFL (1983-85) by a recognized organization (Associated Press – Offense or Defense, Newspaper Enterprise Association, United Press International, The Sporting News, or the league itself – Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year).

|Helen Dawlish
|Biographical information
|Physical information
|Family information
|Family members
John Dawlish (possibly)
Helen Dawlish was a member of the Dawlish family and was a Ravenclaw student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 1990s. In 1993 she was in the Fat Lady's Corridor.[2] She was a fan of Gilderoy Lockhart, and spent the summer of 1996 reading his books, of which Magical Me was her favourite. After returning to school for the 1996–1997 school year, she ran a Duelling Club in the Transfiguration Courtyard, which also included Shoma Ichikawa and Rhonda Fladbury. She offered sloth brains as a reward to everyone who beat her in a duel.
The name "Helen" is the English form of the Greek 'Ελενη (Helene), probably from Greek 'ελενη (helene) "torch" or "corposant", or possibly related to σεληνη (selene) "moon". In Greek mythology Helen was the daughter of Zeus and Leda, whose kidnapping by Paris was the cause of the Trojan War.
Behind the scenesEdit

The first decision you'll need to make is whether to choose a burial or cremation.
Burial used to be the only option available and is where the term 'laying to rest' comes from. Many consider it a gentler and more natural process than cremation, providing a physical point of contact and a place to visit can help with the grieving process. Burial also offers greater choice over the possessions that can be placed into the coffin and what the person who has died can wear. With burial there are two main options:
Burial in a Churchyard or Cemetery
Most burials take place in a churchyard and you may already have an existing family grave. However, you still need to check there is space available. In this instance, the Funeral Director will need to see the exclusive right of burial, known as the deeds for the plot to assist in their arrangements. Remember, there will be fees for reopening an existing grave and amending the headstone.
The cost of a new plot varies across the country, and you buy the exclusive right of burial, a leasehold interest, in a particular plot for a period of time, no longer than 100 years. Your Funeral Director will be able to advise you on the local availability of plots and options.
Natural and Woodland Burials
Set in peaceful, natural countryside, woodland burials provide a non-religious or more sustainable alternative to traditional cemeteries and churchyards.
Natural burial sites do not usually allow the grave to be marked with a permanent memorial. Those that do, allow you to plant a tree on the grave with a simple metal, wooden or slate memorial plaque. Usually, no other grave ornaments are allowed, which means that visiting the precise site of the grave may be difficult without the aid of GPS.
With no headstones or other markers, the whole site acts as a memorial to everyone who is buried there, rather than just the grave itself, and retains the splendour of the surrounding landscape and enhances biodiversity.
Burial at Sea is another less common option – speak to your funeral director or arranger for more advice.
Cremation is usually less expensive than burial, and enables you to keep the cremated remains, (often referred to as ashes), and can give you more choice after the funeral for a memorial event. It also avoids the need to find a suitable burial plot.
When choosing a cremation, you can decide on a church service followed by a short committal ceremony at the crematorium, or just a service at the crematorium. Alternatively, you can just have the cremation with no ceremony at all, or have a ceremony and memorial at a later date with the cremated remains as the focal point.
Due to the popularity of cremation, a specific time is allocated to each service, leading some families to feel that they are in a queue, especially if they are met by the next group of mourners when leaving the service. A double slot can be booked to give you more time, although this would involve an extra fee. Alternatively, you can choose a service in a church with a separate memorial service elsewhere, and just attend the crematorium for the committal.
Other considerations
Once you've made your decision about burial or cremation, you'll need to think about details such as the type of coffin, travelling to the funeral and the kind of floral tributes you'd like to see.
The person who has died may have expressed their wishes for the kind of funeral they wanted which you can discuss with the funeral director or arranger. Without this information, it may be worth thinking about the following to help you decide on the most appropriate arrangements:
- Would they want a religious, semi-religious or non-religious ceremony?
- What style of funeral would they have liked, elaborate or simple, traditional or modern?
- Do you want to express their unique personality in elements of the ceremony?
- How much family involvement would you like in the planning of the funeral and participation in the ceremony?
- Are there any ethical considerations such as a 'green' funeral?
You can find a full list of everything you'll need to consider in Doves Funeral Directors step-by-step guide.

Recycling turns materials that would otherwise become waste into valuable resources. Collecting used bottles, cans, and newspapers and taking them to the curb or to a collection facility is just the first in a series of steps that generates a host of financial, environmental, and social returns. Some of these benefits accrue locally as well as globally.
Benefits of Recycling
Steps to Recycling a Product
Recycling includes collecting recyclable materials that would otherwise be considered waste, sorting and processing recyclables into raw materials such as fibers, manufacturing raw materials into new products, and purchasing recycled products.
Collecting and processing secondary materials, manufacturing recycled-content products, and then buying recycled products creates a circle or loop that ensures the overall success and value of recycling.
Step 1. Collection and Processing
Collecting recyclables varies from community to community, but there are four primary methods: curbside, drop-off centers, buy-back centers, and deposit/refund programs.
Regardless of the method used to collect the recyclables, the next leg of their journey is usually the same. Recyclables are sent to a materials recovery facility to be sorted and prepared into marketable commodities for manufacturing. Recyclables are bought and sold just like any other commodity, and prices for the materials change and fluctuate with the market.
Step 2. Manufacturing
Once cleaned and separated, the recyclables are ready to undergo the second part of the recycling loop. More and more of today's products are being manufactured with total or partial recycled content. Common household items that contain recycled materials include newspapers and paper towels; aluminum, plastic, and glass soft drink containers; steel cans; and plastic laundry detergent bottles. Recycled materials also are used in innovative applications such as recovered glass in roadway asphalt (glassphalt) or recovered plastic in carpeting, park benches, and pedestrian bridges.
Step 3. Purchasing Recycled Products
Purchasing recycled products completes the recycling loop. By "buying recycled," governments, as well as businesses and individual consumers, each play an important role in making the recycling process a success. As consumers demand more environmentally sound products, manufacturers will continue to meet that demand by producing high-quality recycled products. Learn more about recycling terminology and to find tips on identifying recycled products.

Electoral Vote Predictor 2004: Kerry 271 Bush 257
News from the Votemaster
We have 35 new polls today, with updates to the map in 16 states. Wisconsin is the only state that has switched sides as a result of a new Strategic Vision (R) poll showing Bush ahead there 46% to 49%, although this is within the margin of error. Also, Minnesota is now tied according to a new Rasmussen 7-day tracking poll. The changes in the other states do not cause any electoral votes to change.
Survey USA has conducted a poll in 30 states and reported that men are from Bushland and women are from Kerryland. Interestingly enough the state with the biggest gender gap is Georgia, where it is 28%. Those southern belles don't actually like Kerry (they support Bush by 6%), but the Georgia men prefer Bush by a huge 34%. The gender gap is also very high in Rhode Island, Oregon, Nevada, and Florida. Only in two states, Kansas and North Carolina, does Bush do better among women than among men. Kerry's advantage with women averages 11%. With the upcoming get-out-the-vote efforts, it won't be surprising to see the Republicans focusing on men and the Democrats focusing on women.
It is surprising that Bush and Kerry don't like each other very much. After all they are family: ninth cousins twice removed to be exact. Thanks to politicalwire.com for pointing this out.
Although I have explained this before, it seems to be confusing some people, so I will try again. The poll that is used is the one that was conducted most recently. It is the middle date of the POLLING PERIOD that matters. The RELEASE DATE does not matter at all. For example, yesterday I announced a new Zogby poll in Florida taken Oct. 13-17. But there was already a Survey USA poll taken Oct. 15-17 in Florida. The Zogby poll has a middle date of Oct. 15. The Survey USA poll has a middle date of Oct. 16. Thus the Zogby poll did NOT replace the Survey USA poll on the map because it was older. Some pollsters get their results out the door a bit faster than others. What matters is the middle date of the polling period. And if there are ties, such as Oct. 13-17 vs. Oct. 14-16, the shorter one wins because it is a better snapshot. If multiple polls with the same polling period are tied for most recent, they are averaged. All the data is in the Polling data to the right of the map. If you don't understand why a poll was or was not used, look there. The first column is the middle date, counting forward from Sept. 1, so Oct. 1 is 31.0, Oct. 12 is 42.0, etc. For each state, all polls are sorted in descending order, most recent on top. This file can be read by Excel.
Tuesday I cited Richard L. Hasen on five ways this election could end up in the Supreme Court. Let me now add a sixth way. Today salon.com reported massive snafus with getting absentee ballots to the estimated 4 million American voters overseas. The office in charge of helping overseas Americans to vote is totally ineffective. In 2000 it was excoriated by the GAO for losing thousands of overseas votes. It now appears to be doing its best to make sure the 10% of overseas Americans who are in the military (and largely Republican) can vote while ignoring the 90% who are civilians and who hear about America's loss of respect in the world daily and are much more likely to want to replace George Bush. The office is dawdling about putting the emergency write-in ballot on its website, so Americans overseas who need one should get it from their consulate or embassy. The case which may well hit the Supreme Court will revolve about a simple question: Can a county send a voter his absentee ballot by snail mail to a far-away country a couple of days before the election and then refuse to count it because it came back after the deadline?
As some people pointed out, there were a couple of minor glitches in the new software at first. I fully realize that software should be thoroughly tested before being deployed, but there is no time. The new predicted map had wacky 2000 scores because the program that made the spreadsheet with the new data didn't print a header line as the other spreadsheets have. But the map-making software skips line 1 as a presumed header and assumes line 2 is Alabama, line 3 is Alaska, etc. So in the map, every state had the 2000 results of a different state. Both programs were actually correct, but the output produced by program 1 didn't match the input expected by program 2. There was also an ambiguity about what Nader is assumed to have. Originally it was 2%, but after all the Zogby polls came in showing him at 0.5%, I changed the parameter to 1% and forgot to change the text. Haste makes waste. And working on the site 10, 12 hours a day (including reading the mail) doesn't help, either.
I am really determined to defeat the hackers, so I just added a sixth server. It is www.electoral-vote6.com. Again, use the main site under normal conditions, but if that doesn't work, try www.electoral-vote2.com, www.electoral-vote3.com, etc., currently up to 6.
Projected Senate: 45 Democrats, 52 Republicans, 1 independent, 2 tossups

Military chiefs issue warning on budget cuts
WASHINGTON — The country's top military officers warned Congress on Thursday that continued automatic cuts in the armed services' budgets will force reductions in manpower, training and weapons purchases that reduce the nation's ability to defend itself and could cause higher U.S. casualties.
Complaints by the chiefs of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines drew a sympathetic response from the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., said cuts scheduled for next year would leave the U.S. less able to defend its global interests. The panel's senior Republican, Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma, said President Ronald Reagan, who boosted defense spending by 35 percent in the 1980s, would be rolling in his grave if he saw how weak the military was becoming.
"This is unsustainable," Gen. James Amos, commandant of the Marine Corps, told the lawmakers, referring to curbed spending for training, equipment and force strength that the Marines face. He called those cuts "a formula for more American casualties."
Adm. Jonathan Greenert, chief of naval operations, bemoaned the reduced number of ships the Navy will be able to deploy and said, "We're tapped out."
Through 2021, the sequester cuts are slated to cost defense programs a total of $480 billion. They are being imposed because Congress failed to reach a budget compromise for reducing federal deficits.
Because of that, Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., apologized to the officers: "We in Congress created this monster, and we keep dragging you up to the Hill to tell us how much damage it has done."
In his testimony, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Raymond Odierno, the Army chief of staff, said the Army is already shrinking its force from a high of 570,000 during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars to 490,000. It would be forced to drop to 420,000 if the sequesters continue, he said.
The Air Force chief of staff, Gen. Mark Welsh III, said he would have to reduce flying hours by up to 15 percent and reduce his service's number of satellites. Greenert said the Navy could have to cut its fleet to as low as 255 ships by 2020, about 30 fewer than today, while Amos said the Marines' 186,000 troops would shrink by the thousands.
Amos also criticized the furloughs of 14,000 civilian Marine Corps employees that were part of the government-wide furloughs forced last month during the budget standoff that resulted in a 16-day partial federal shutdown.
"I'm ashamed about the way they've been treated through the furlough and the uncertainty" it created, he said.
Republicans and Democrats alike, as well as President Barack Obama, have expressed a desire to halt the sequester. But while Republicans want to retain an equal amount of savings by cutting federal spending, Democrats want to do it by also raising some taxes, and the two sides remain at a stalemate.
Some of those differences spilled over into Thursday's hearing.
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, who helped steer Republicans into the fight that produced the government shutdown, quizzed the officers on whether they were conveying their worries about the defense cuts to the White House. He said that while Obama has shown great concern over issues like gun control and his embattled health care program, "I've not heard the same level of concern" about the defense cuts.
Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., said such comments were "an effort to kind of avoid looking in the mirror."
Some Republicans, including Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, want some of the substitute savings to come from the Pentagon itself.

One of the changes in Creative Cloud 2014 is the introduction of the Common Extensibility Platform (CEP) 5.0 in many of Adobe's apps.
CEP 5 is a major update that provides capabilities that far surpasses its predecessors. A key feature is the integration of Node.js which practically means you can use Node's rich APIs as well as third party NPM modules within Adobe's products.
As we move further into the HTML5 panel era, we have created a new place to host our resources. You can find many samples and resources in the Adobe CEP GitHub repository.
It includes APIs, links to documentation, tutorials and tools (including some that are created by 3rd parties), and lots of samples.
In addition, I encourage developers interested in HTML5 panels to check out the Kuler panel for Creative Cloud 2014 on the new Adobe Add Ons website. The Kuler panel is a great example of an HTML5 panel.

2. What clues does Lewis give the reader that the gentle giants are not safe and that the children and Puddleglum are in danger?
3. If you were in the place of the children and Puddleglum, do you think you would have suspected you were about to be eaten?
4. On the same day, the children and Puddleglum realize they have eaten talking stag and that "Man" and "Marsh-wiggle" appear in the giants' cookbook. Which discovery was more disturbing to you?
5. Would you, like Scrubb, have continued reading the entry for "Man" in the cookbook?
6. Is it significant that Jill's dress is green?
7. Edit:Why do you think the giants gave Eustace a sword?
. Did the giants provide Eustace with the sword or is it the one he got from Cair Paravel? If he got it from Cair Paravel why do you think Lewis chose to mention it this context with the added detail about its hilt? /EditLewis wrote:To make matters worse, they were now in the clothes that the giants had provided for them last night: except Puddleglum, whom nothing would fit. Jill wore a vivid green robe, rather too long for her, and over that a scarlet mantle fringed with white fur. Scrubb had scarlet stockings, blue tunic and cloak, a gold-hilted sword, and a feathered bonnet.
8. Do you think the pursuing hounds were normal or giant-sized?
9. "There was no noise. And that was the very worst moment Jill had ever known in her life. Supposing she was alone: supposing the others … " Wow. Can you imagine?
10. There are several uncomfortable or difficult situations in this chapter. Which one do you relate to the most?
11. What image sticks in your mind the most?
12. Discuss how this chapter should be adapted. (ex. what do you most want to see, what problems do you see, etc.)

ESA PR 28-2006. ESA astronaut Hans Schlegel of Germany has been named today to fly on the Space Shuttle mission that will deliver the European Space Agency's Columbus laboratory to the International Space Station in September/October 2007.
ESA's Director General Jean-Jacques Dordain announced the assignment on the occasion of the German Chancellor Angela Merkel's official visit to ESA's Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt, Germany.
Veteran NASA space flier Navy Cmdr. Stephen Frick will command the STS-122 Shuttle mission (orbiter Discovery), while Navy Cmdr. Alan Poindexter will serve as pilot. Mission Specialists include Air Force Col. Rex Walheim, Stanley Love and Leland Melvin. For Poindexter, Love and Melvin, this will be their first spaceflight. Schlegel, a member of the European Astronaut Corps since 1998, first flew on Shuttle mission STS-55 (Spacelab D-2) from 26 April to 6 May 1993.
On this new mission, Schlegel will be taking on a key role: he will be involved in the installation, fitting-out and initial commissioning of ESA's Columbus laboratory. Columbus is the cornerstone of Europe's contribution to the International Space Station and is the first European laboratory devoted to long-term research in space.
Columbus will be transported to the Station in the cargo bay of the Shuttle together with five internal rack facilities (Biolab, the Fluid Science Laboratory, the European Physiology Modules facility, the European Drawer Rack and the European Transport Carrier). The two external experiment facilities for Columbus (EuTEF and SOLAR) will also be travelling separately in the cargo bay and will be attached onto the outside of the laboratory module structure during Schlegel's flight.
Note for editors
Following the launch of the mission from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral in Florida, the Shuttle will take two days to rendezvous and dock with the ISS. Columbus will be lifted out of the Shuttle's cargo bay by Canada's Space Station robotic arm (Canadarm 2) and placed in position on the starboard side docking port of the European-developed Node 2 on flight day four. Once attached to the ISS, and following power-up of the module, the Columbus payload rack facilities will be moved from their launch configuration to their operational locations in the module.
Three spacewalks (extra-vehicular activities) are scheduled during this mission. The first will help to install and power-up Columbus. A second EVA will serve to install the external payloads. The payload rack facilities will also be checked out. The third EVA will serve to install a nitrogen tank assembly on the Station, a task not directly related to the Columbus part of the mission. Final commissioning of the laboratory and its initial scientific experiments will take place during the weeks following the end of the Shuttle mission and will be carried out by the resident ISS crew.
Once Columbus is attached to the Station, the Columbus Control Centre in Oberpfaffenhofen in Germany, on the premises of DLR's space operations centre, will be responsible for the control and operation of the European laboratory. The Centre will also coordinate European experiment operations.

Using Google Cloud Print, people can now print documents to their Android devices or a nearby FedEx office.
Paolo Ferraris, software engineer for Google, wrote on the Google Chrome blog that Google Cloud Print could print to any of 1,800 FedEx locations. "Choose "Print to FedEx Office" in the Cloud Print dialogue, and you'll receive a retrieval code that you can use at any FedEx Office® Print & Go self-service device," he wrote. "So if you're on a business trip to California, you can submit a report for your colleague in New York to print out at the neighborhood FedEx Office."
Documents can also be sent to your Android 4.0 tablet or phone, provided users have installed Chrome for Android Beta. The document will be formatted into a PDF copy and appear "as a destination" in the Cloud Print dialogue box.
The new service is a welcome one, but does discriminate against those with older Android devices. For those users, there's still Dropbox.

CONCORD – The Attorney General's office is requesting an independent investigation into the drug search that ended in a bloody shootout in Greenland last month.
New Hampshire Attorney General Michael Delaney announced at a press conference Tuesday a panel of investigators with backgrounds in law enforcement and the criminal justice system will be tasked with studying the operation, which ended in tragedy.
Greenland Police Chief Michael Maloney was killed and four officers were wounded in the April 12 drug search at 517 Post Road in Greenland.
Prosecutors say one of the two targets of the search, 29-year-old Cullen Mutrie, allegedly opened fire on members of the Attorney General's Drug Task Force when they tried to enter his home.
"Through this review, our citizens can be assured that we will learn from and take away from this tragedy everything we can," Delaney said, "and that knowledge will be carried forward to all police officer's in the betterment of future law enforcement efforts."
Delaney also provided new insight into the shootings Tuesday, revealing that a total of nine law enforcement officers were at the property when the shooting occurred.
The group included two uniformed Greenland police officers who were not part of the Attorney General's Drug Task Force.
At the time of the shooting, the officers were attempting to execute two warrants: one to search Mutrie's property and another to arrest Mutrie's one-time companion, Brittany Tibbetts.
Mutrie and Tibbetts were at the center of a drug investigation, and police were searching for evidence of cocaine and the prescription painkiller oxycodone at Mutrie's residence, according to court documents.
Members of the Attorney General's Drug Task Force were carrying a so-called "no-knock" search warrant when they arrived. The warrant authorized police to enter Mutrie's home at any time, night or day, without knocking on the door or announcing their presence.
Delaney revealed on Tuesday that despite receiving permission to enter the home unannounced, the task force did not exercise that authority. Delaney said two Greenland police officers approached Mutrie's front door and attempted to make contact with Mutrie before the drug task force approached the entryway.
The officers, who have not been identified, had a "background and familiarity" with Mutrie, Delaney said.
After attempting to make contact with Mutrie, the officers did not hear anything inside the residence, so they also tried to signal their arrival to surveillance equipment on Mutrie's porch, Delaney said.
When "there was no response" to those efforts, six members of the Attorney General's Drug Task Force arrived and took steps to forcibly gain entry to the front door, Delaney said.
Maloney arrived at approximately the same time, driving his personal police cruiser.
"We have learned that the approach to the house at Post Road began with two uniformed Greenland Police officers who approached the porch at Mr. Mutrie's residence, knocked on the porch, and tried to make contact with Mr. Mutrie inside the home. After several attempts to make contact with him, and hearing nothing in response, a team of Drug Task Force investigators responded in two other vehicles to Post Road. At the same time, Chief Maloney responded to Post Road and positioned his marked police cruiser on the edge of the street, directly in front of the home. From there, six drug task force officers exited their vehicle and approached the home for the purpose of gaining entry to the residence. The two uniformed officers left the porch at that time and the drug task force officers then used equipment to forcibly open the front door. They were marked and had identified themselves as law enforcement officers and similar to the uniformed officers saw no motion and received no responses from inside the home," Delaney said.
He said four of the six drug task force members were shot. The officers who were not wounded returned fire and pushed Mutrie away from the entrance and back into his home, Delaney said.
Two uninjured officers and Chief Maloney then undertook "heroic actions" to assist the injured officers and bring them to safety, Delaney said.
At that time, there was a lull in the activity where no shooting occurred, and the officers that were wounded were assisted into vehicles and were driven away to safety, Delaney said.
The uninjured officers and Maloney remained on scene, taking up secure positions on the property.
"Chief Maloney positioned himself in a position of cover behind the front right wheel of his marked cruiser and was taking cover behind his wheel, over the hood of his car, looking at the home, and after a period of inactivity, additional gun shots were fired from inside the home, and one of those gunshots struck Chief Maloney in the head, resulting in his death," Delaney said.
In response to a question from a reporter, Delaney said he cannot comment on reports that Mutrie's door had been barred.
He said members of the Drug Task Force were wearing protective gear and outfits that identified themselves as police officers.
At the time Maloney was struck, police officers were not firing toward the home, according to Delaney, who said it was the shooting suspect who began opening fire once again after the lull in activity.
Mutrie barricaded himself inside the home with Tibbetts after the shooting broke out. A tense standoff ensued, and police used a robot to enter the home. They found the bodies of Mutrie and Tibbetts in the basement.
The chief medical examiner has ruled their deaths a murder-suicide, indicating that Mutrie killed himself and Tibbetts, a 26-year-old Berwick, Maine, resident, was murdered.
State Police recovered two handguns from inside Mutrie's home, according to information provided by Associate Attorney General Jane Young last month.
One of the weapons, a Ruger .357-caliber revolver, was purchased by Tibbetts at a gun show in Manchester in January 2012, according to the Attorney General's office.
In an interview Tuesday, Young said investigators have still not confirmed the origin of the other handgun found inside Mutrie's home, a 9 mm pistol.
Ballistics testing on the weapons is still being conducted, Young said. The Attorney General's office has yet to comment on which handgun Mutrie allegedly fired during the April 12 raid, or how the shootings occurred.
"I can tell you, sort of, based on the first night, I think the early statement from the Attorney General's office is that when the police arrived, they were immediately met by gunfire from within the house," Young said.
In addition to the two guns found inside the home, State Police removed an unspecified number of rifles from Mutrie's property after the shooting, according to court documents. Young said on Tuesday those rifles belonged to police who were executing the drug search.
Investigators are also examining ballistic evidence from one of the vehicles that was parked on Mutrie's property when the shooting broke out -- a 2008 Volkswagen Jetta owned by Tibbetts. The car was struck by a bullet during the shooting, Young said.
An inventory of evidence seized from the home totals 39 items, including drugs, cell phones, magazines, ammunition, cartridge casings, bullets, shotgun wadding, drug paraphernalia, green vegetative matter, a digital scale, cash, medication, targets and laptops.
Laboratory testing is currently underway to identify green vegetative matter and white powder seized from the home, according to Young. She said they are believed to be illicit drugs.
The attorney general's office is also continuing to interview witnesses to the shooting, including the four officers who survived the ordeal.
"A couple of the officers were pretty critically injured, so we're still doing follow-up interviews and we're awaiting test results from the lab," Young said Tuesday.
Mutrie, a former Hampton Falls firefighter, had been banned from owning firearms months before the April 12 operation was undertaken.
Greenland police arrested Mutrie on July 24, 2010, after they were dispatched to his home to assist with a domestic disturbance, according to records available in Rockingham Superior Court. He was charged with assault for allegedly grabbing the hair and right arm of a woman he was then dating.
The woman was granted an emergency restraining order, which called for Mutrie to relinquish possession of his firearms.
Following the domestic disturbance, Greenland police seized 21 firearms from Mutrie's home, according to an inventory provided by Rockingham County Attorney Jim Reams last month. They had a combined value of an estimated $8,525.
According to court records, Greenland police allegedly discovered various quantities of anabolic steroids stored inside Mutrie's coffee table when they searched the home for weapons.
Mutrie was indicted on four felony steroid possession in 2011, and was scheduled to stand trial on the charges later this year, as well as the assault charge stemming from the domestic disturbance.
Before Delaney announced the independent review, House Speaker William O'Brien issued a statement to Foster's urging an independent review to eliminate a "real or perceived conflict of interest" in the ongoing investigation,
"It's important that this investigation of the drug task force raid that led to the shooting death of Greenland Chief Michael Maloney move forward in a thorough and expedited fashion to provide closure to the people of the community. The Attorney General's office must work to ensure that there is no real or perceived conflict of interest from investigating its own actions and also that in the future members of the drug task force take all steps possible to protect their safety given the potential dangers inherent with their duties."
UNH Detective Eric Kulberg was one of four members of the New Hampshire Attorney General's Drug Task Force shot while executing the warrant at Mutrie's home. He continues to recuperate and is expected to make a full recovery.

An Easter weekend trip to Hawaii and a spring break trip to California and Las Vegas highlight the 2011 Valparaiso University baseball schedule which has been released by head coach Tracy Woodson.
The Crusaders will fly to Hawaii to battle the Warriors on Thursday-Saturday nights, April 21-23 in a three-game series on the team's bye weekend from Horizon League competition. Hawaii won the Western Athletic Conference tournament title and earned a berth in the NCAA Regionals one year ago.
"Going to Hawaii is a nice send off for our seniors, which were a part of my first recruiting class here at Valpo," Woodson said. "It should be an experience our guys will never forget."
Valpo will head west earlier in the season as well when the Brown and Gold travel to California and Las Vegas as part of the annual two week spring break trip. The Crusaders begin the trip February 25-27 with a four-game weekend set at Cal State Northridge, including a Saturday doubleheader. March 1-2 the Brown and Gold will head north for a two-game midweek set against Cal State Bakersfield before traveling to Pomona, Calif. for a three-game series with Cal Poly during the middle weekend. Valpo then heads to Las Vegas where the Crusaders will face UNLV in a four-game, three-day series, including a doubleheader on March 12.
"It think we have put together one of the more challenging schedules since I have been here," Woodson added. "We the amount of travel we have, it should help us come together as a team."
Valparaiso's 2011 schedule opens February 18 as Valpo begins a three-game weekend series at Austin Peay. The Crusaders then head west for the spring trip, all part of a season-opening 23-game road trip.
Upon returning from UNLV, the Crusaders will head to Edwardsville, Ill. on the weekend of March 18-20, facing SIU Edwardsville for two games while playing Creighton on the middle day of the weekend. Horizon League then begins March 25 at Butler.
The Crusaders end the season-opening road trip March 30 at Northwestern before hosting UIC on April 1-2 for their home-opening series. Valpo will play 17 games at Emory G. Bauer Field this season, including a visit from Purdue on April 26. The home slate comes to a close May 14 with a doubleheader against Milwaukee, and the Brown and Gold close the regular season a week later with a three-game series in Milwaukee.
This year's Horizon League Tournament is set for May 25-29 in Dayton, Ohio, hosted by Wright State.

What to Think About: Philosophy for a Thoughtful Younger Generation, by Chris Brockman is up on Amazon. Brockman uses his own definition of "philosophy" as a "systematic study of who I am, what's out there, and what should I do about it,"to arrive at suggestions for things to think about. Each chapter ends with scenarios and questions challenging the reader to think. This book is "written from a humanist perspective," and may offend some religious sensibilities. It is recommended for young adults. Chris Brockman is the author of the classic of religious skepticism for children What about gods?
Well, gee ... did Carl Sagan have an influence on the next generation of astronomers and astrophysicists? Ummm ... one guess:
I'm happy to join this group. Carl was very dear to me. I predict he'll go down in history as the greatest educator of the century. Not as much for the information he taught but for the curiosity and enthusiasm for learning he inspired.

Founding Claremont-Mudd-Scripps athletics director and Stags head baseball coach William "Bill" Arce P'80 dedicated 25 years of his career toward building the athletics department at CMS. In an event at the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum on Tuesday, May 14, Arce was honored for his dedication to Claremont McKenna College and the CMS Community and for his efforts as a mentor, physical educator, coach, and athletics director. Also during the event, current CMS Director of Athletics Mike Sutton '76 was installed as the Inaugural William B. Arce Professor and George R. Roberts Fellow.
The evening included remarks by current CMS student-athletes Aria Krumwiede '12 M'13 and William Knowles '13 M'13, along with Claremont McKenna College's Dean of the Faculty Gregory Hess, former CMS head soccer coach Steve Davis, and Sutton. A presentation which highlighted Arce's contributions to CMS Athletics also was a part of the evening. During Arce's tenure, he molded the department into his vision, which was to provide students – both men and women – the opportunity to participate in physical education classes, intramural sports, and intercollegiate athletics. Sutton, along with the other speakers, spoke of how Arce's founding principles and vision of an athletic department are evident today and thanked him for his many contributions.
"The model that I was raised under as a student-athlete, young coach and faculty member and now promote as the department chair was developed under the leadership of Dr. Arce," Sutton said.
During his 25-year tenure at CMS, Arce started and developed the program, facilities, and staff into one of the top NCAA Division III private college programs in the country, which it remains today. For his years of dedication to baseball and to the campus community, Arce is an inductee into the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, and American Baseball Coaches Association Halls of Fame. Internationally recognized for his contributions to baseball, Arce also is an inductee into the Dutch and Italian Baseball Halls of Fame.
As athletic director from 1958-1983, Arce's leadership of the department grew the program from nine men's sports in 1958 to 19 by the time he retired in 1983, which included the addition of several women's sports in what became Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Athletics as it is today.
On the diamond, he served as head coach from 1959-1979 and totaled 443 career wins and three Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference titles. In 2001, the American Baseball Coaches Association honored Arce by selecting him as the recipient of the prestigious Lefty Gomez Award, which is presented annually to an individual who has distinguished himself amongst his peers and has contributed significantly to the game of baseball locally, nationally, and internationally. He received his undergraduate and doctorate degrees from Stanford University.
Sutton is in his 12th year as director of athletics at CMS after a 21-year coaching career in the department. During his tenure as director, Sutton has overseen a department that has grown to 21 sports—10 men's and 11 women's—at the NCAA Division III level in addition to 13 club sports and an active intramurals program. Sutton has overseen the addition of women's lacrosse and women's golf to the varsity level. He is a former chair of the NCAA Water Polo and Swimming & Diving Championships Committees and was the team leader of the 1992 United States Olympic Water Polo Team. Prior to being named as athletics director, Sutton spent 21 seasons as the Stags' swimming coach and 19 seasons as the men's water polo coach, winning a combined 33 SCIAC titles during that time. He is a 1976 graduate of Claremont McKenna College.
This professorship and 25 other newly-endowed chairs for existing and new positions have been funded by generous donors through the Roberts Faculty Challenge, a $20 million challenge commitment by CMC Alumnus and Trustee George Roberts '66 P'93.
