New Dollar Index, Same Old Problems
Different approaches to weights and compositions naturally produce different results.
This parable is replete with meaning for indexation of all stripes. When the solution to a problem is unknown, answers proliferate. This is why we have equal-, price-, fundamental-, and capitalization-weighted indices for equities and numerous approaches to commodities, such as the S&P-Goldman Sachs and Dow Jones-UBS indices.
Currencies present an even worse problem. Consenting trading partners transact in a given currency; you buy Chinese goods to put on the shelves at Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) -- or for whoever has your Target (NYSE:TGT) credit card at the moment -- and you must sell dollars to buy yuan. You do not sell a dollar index; nor does an importer of American goods sell, say, euros to buy a dollar index. On the financial side of the transaction, you can borrow euro deposits and lend dollar deposits without ever transacting in actual goods, but why would you trouble yourself to borrow a weighted basket of currency deposits to lend into the dollar?
Different Approaches
The term "dollar index" generally defaults to the ICE dollar index (DXY) whose weights, as noted here recently in another context, have remained unchanged since 1973 even though the world has changed here and there. Bloomberg has constructed a 10-member family of currency indices whose weights are based on their correlations against one other (BCWI). It recently added a spot dollar index (BDXY) whose weights are based on trade flows and financial liquidity. These weights are recalculated annually and are presented below for the index' history since the end of 2004.
A total of 20 currencies are considered for inclusion, of which 10 make the cut every year. This is why smaller currencies such as the Singapore and Taiwan dollars (SGD and TWD) or Swedish krona (SEK) make cameo appearances. If you have good eyesight and a high-resolution screen, you may also notice the yuan's weight is a constant 3%. This managed weight is done in response to the managed CNY; touché!
Performance Variance
These different weights and compositions naturally produce different results. While the BDXY advanced 2.08% between December 2004 and November 2013, the BCWI and DXY declined 4.00% and 0.21%, respectively. A map of the weighted variances for each currency using 2013 weights shows some very prominent differences between each currency's weighted returns in either the BCWI or DXY and the BDXY.
These different approaches will continue to produce different results. In addition, they will stimulate the creation of new and different indices. What should you do? To go back to my answer for commodity indexation, if you want to trade gold or crude oil, trade gold or crude oil; why add corn or cocoa into the mix? If you want to trade the euro or yen, trade the euro or yen. Real answers to real problems are simple when we allow them to be.

Real Housewives Camille Grammer—Kelsey's ex—and Adrienne Maloof—sister of those bankrupt rich man-children who allegedly own the Sacramento Kings—presented the Lady Byng Trophy to Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Martin St. Louis at Wednesday's NHL Awards show. St. Louis is a six-time All-Star, he won a Hart Trophy, and his team's pretty good. Hockey fans (and Francophone types) do know how to pronounce his name.
And he won last year's Lady Byng. With that, and that Pavel Datsyuk, the perennial Lady Byng favorite, didn't play a full season in 2010-11, St. Louis seemed a lock for this year's trophy.
But, naw, the Housewives figured, we don't need to learn anything in advance, we can read a name off a card. Martin Saint Lewis. Oops.
Thankfully, noxious presence Jay Mohr defuses the tension by being quick on his feet. Ladies and gentlemen, the NHL Awards.

In 2007, the company I work for purchased the rights to a medical practice management and billing system from a third-party software development firm. Technically, the software is an n-tiered product written in .NET that can be fully hosted at a client site or on our servers. A project was launched to rebrand the product, interface the product into existing business lines, test and debug the product, and add market differentiators.
Because the product was new, the work was highly exploratory with rapidly evolving requirements that could only come to light by learning the product. We decided to use Agile development supported by Scrum and elements of Extreme Programming. The entire team went through a tremendous learning curve in both learning Agile development and the product itself. Without Agile's benefit of small iterations and the chance to adjust our progress, the project most likely would have had significant difficulties. After 18 months, the project reached a high level of agile maturity, even incorporating numerous lean principles.
Our Scrum process was solid: Two-week sprints with a demo at the end, seven people consistently on the sprint teams, burndown charts, sprint planning for each sprint with whole team commitment, estimation by story points, velocity measures, and a story point estimation session with the entire team one week before each sprint.
The Problem
At first, the business side of the company was not accustomed to the responsiveness of Agile development. The norm was a formal waterfall approach to software development that could require several quarters to develop a software release. But it didn't take long for the business to develop such a hunger for change that requirements (user stories) were barely stable enough for a two-week sprint. It was not unusual for the product owner group to give top priority to stories that were not well thought out, forcing development to cobble together a sprint full of unknowns. Changes also worked their way directly into the sprints -- in mid-sprint new stories were swapped with stories that hadn't been started. It seemed as though a two-week sprint was too long as the business side of the project swung from rigid change control to demanding immediate responsiveness. Something had to be done.
Our Solution
The management team brainstormed around ways to make Scrum as flexible as possible on intake. We considered ways to shorten the sprint length, the estimation sessions, sprint planning, and sprint demo length even further, all with the goal of keeping people working on stories that were of highest value to our product owner and increasing productivity. (See the sidebar for ideas on Scrum.)
Where Can Scrum Be Leaned Out?
Our thought process was to take lean principles from Mary Poppendieck's Implementing Lean Software Development: From Concept to Cash and apply them to the meta processes of Scrum, posing questions such as:
Our conclusion was that the basics of software Kanban, as described by Corey Ladas, would fit the bill.

Ok. So with 7 players on the list alive, and 2 more mafia, town has a 5/7 chance of mislynch.
By killing jonty, we now have only a 2/6 chance of mislynch.
Why would mafia lower the chance of mislynch unless they were convinced town was going to lynch the "wrong" people?
Could it be because Jonty was an angel who had gained everyone's trust and also represented a very strong threat to mafia? He had a role that could turn recruited townies back into regular townies. We still don't know how recruited townies work or what information they have. A reformed townie could even theoretically reveal how recruitment works or (unlikely) maybe even mafia members. If I had been mafia than yes I would have supported killing Jonty.
Also please stop taking yourself off of the list. Just because you have an innocent result from the cop does not mean you are proven town. I am saying it now. I am 90% sure that Doomyoshi is the Godfather. As far as him clearing vio, either he knows that Vio is still town and trying to link up with someone he knows is a townie or at some point vio was recruited by the mafia and he is protecting her by placing the 100% proven town label on her.

Microsoft Corp. said its fiscal second-quarter profit climbed 2.8%, bolstered by strong demand for the company's new Xbox videogame console.
Results easily topped Wall Street's revenue and earnings expectations, sending shares MSFT, +0.15% up 5% in after-hours trading.
The Redmond, Wash., software giant is in the midst of major change, searching for a replacement for Chief Executive Steve Ballmer and preparing to plunge deeper in hardware with the pending acquisition of Nokia Corp.'s mobile-phone business. Read: Microsoft's beat doesn't erase CEO uncertainty.
For the fiscal second quarter ended Dec. 31, revenue rose 14% to $24.52 billion, partly reflecting the release in November of a new Xbox videogame console and a fresh version of Microsoft's Surface tablet computer ahead of the holidays.
Overall, net income climbed to $6.56 billion, or 78 cents a share, compared with $6.38 billion, or 76 cents a share, in the year-ago quarter.
Analysts, on average, estimated Microsoft would post earnings of 68 cents a share on revenue of $23.7 billion, according to Thomson Reuters.
The company said its devices and consumer revenue grew 13% to $11.91 billion, while commercial revenue increased 10% to $12.67 billion.
"Our commercial segment continues to outpace the overall market, and our devices and consumer segment had a great holiday quarter," Ballmer said.

For better or Wurst: a primer on the German sausage
Few foods are as iconic of their home country as the German sausage (Wurst). Part of the national cuisine since the Middle Ages, sausages are taken seriously in their home nation. Yes, you'll find Germans guzzling them down with a dollop of mustard as fast food – a tradition exported by nineteenth-century émigrés to give the world the hot dog – but Michelin critics also list Wurst kitchens in Bavaria. All Würste feature pork (and sometimes beef or veal), spices and peppercorns. What makes each distinctive are the herbs and spices. Aficionados say there are around a thousand regional varieties to sample. Good luck.
Blutwurst "Blood sausage" – black pudding. Eaten sliced and cold or fried.
Bockwurst A popular variety that is more fine veal than fine pork. Resembles a chubby frankfurter and is heated in liquid. Traditionally served with Bock beer in spring.
Bratwurst The common or garden sausage served countrywide. Varies by region – Bavaria's are finger-sized, Thuringia's are long and thin, for example – but usually made of finely minced pork and marjoram.
Braunschweiger Smoked liver sausage (Leberwurst) enriched with eggs and milk, so it is spreadable.
Currywurst A Berlin icon invented, they say, in 1949 by a bored Imbiss stall-holder. Basically a Wiener sliced, smothered in ketchup, then dusted with curry powder.
Frankfurter Not the same as the American variety, this contains fine, lean pork with a little salted bacon. Smoked then reheated in liquid.
Knockwurst (or Knackwurst) Short, plump, smoked sausage of finely minced lean pork, beef, spices and garlic. Typically poached or grilled then served with Sauerkraut.
Thüringer Rotwurst Speciality low-fat black sausage from Thuringia afforded protected geographical status under EU law.
Weisswurst Munich's "White sausage", so called for its being made of veal and fresh bacon. Flavoured with parsley, mace and cardamom, it is traditionally prepared before breakfast and eaten before lunch.
Wienerwurst Thought to be the source of the American frankfurter. Pork and beef flavoured with coriander and garlic, grilled or fried.

DIY Terrariums
Terrariums are a fun way to bring some of the green indoors all year round, especially appreciated when the weather is cold and drab. When purchased from a plant nursery or storefront, terrariums may lean on the pricey side. With a few materials to get started, one can be made DIY style for a budget friendly version. Though they require some know-how regarding supplies and growing conditions, they do not demand extensive upkeep. Ferns, miniature palms, succulents and moss work well in terrariums. Plants will need a lot of indirect sunlight and attention to the moisture level is important. Terrariums… read more

Although the body design is similar to our Veritas dowel and tenon cutters, the cut is quite different. When a tenon is fed through the body, the straight-edged blade tapers the ends, whereas the curved blade on our dowel cutters cuts cylindrical tenons with a radiused shoulder. (If you have already purchased our dowel cutters, buying a straight replacement blade will allow you to cut tapered tenons.) Please note, the curved blade (for dowel making) should be used with only the three smallest sizes of tenon cutters (05J61.04, 05J61.05 and 05J61.06).
The size given for each cutter is the minimum tenon diameter it will cut – the maximum is 1/2" greater, over a total tenon length of 2-1/2". A starter kit of the 3/8", 1/2" and 5/8" sizes will cover most tenoning requirements for typical chairmaking. Some longer tenons may require cutting the major diameter with a larger cutter, and then finishing with a smaller cutter; if you have all five sizes you will be able to cut any diameter tenon up to 1-1/8" in diameter and as long as 2" in a single operation.
Made in Canada. Patented.

I bought it, took it out of the box, and scanned a family Sampler that hangs on the wall where I do my do my research. The results were amazing. I uploaded the series of Scans onto Flickr. The first two pictures were taking with a camera. The issue here is the flash. Using Flip-Pal, a series of scans, where then "stitched" together with the software provided with the unit. The results are here:
So, I stopped by the booth to thank Diane Miller and Walt Grady for a wonderful product. They showed me three new options for the Flip-Pal. The first option is a Eye-Fi / WiFi card. I had looked that that card for my camera, but hadn't done anything about it, but there it was again, but for the Flip-Pal. (didn't by that yet). The next thing was a certain type of re-chargeable battery that they sell and have lots of success (when I get home). But the third option was a Flip-Pal Sketch sheet. That, I purchased and taking home.
I'll post a blog on how to use this when I get home and have a project to do. I have the project of some old family photographs, of my grandparents wedding and I am not sure who all were in the wedding party. I think I know, but I know my Aunt will know.
So, think about this for a moment. I have these pictures to scan and I want my Aunt to identify the people. You place the Sketch Sheet over the photograph. With a WET ERASE PEN, you write the names on the Sketch Sheet, Scan that, remove the Sketch Sheet and scan again. What a concept. So simple, yet so logical (for me at least).
I ran into DearMYRTLE who bought 2. I did the same thing. Why: While the Flip-Pal is scanning the picture you just marked up, you are marking up the next one.
The reason I want to stop by, was to Thank them for a wonderful product, easy to use, mobile scanner.
The other really simple feature that the unit already has, is a business size pocket, on the back, to put a business card into.
Lesson Learned: When I first bought the Flip-Pal, I said that it was the best think since Sliced Bread. Well, the lesson for today, is that the Flip-Pal is now the Sliced Bread and the Flip-Pal Sketch Sheet is "the best thing since sliced bread"

Veryant has today announced its vCOBOL Enterprise platform for the migration of legacy COBOL applications off of IBM mainframes as part of a strategic set of product launches designed to address cost-cutting, consolidation and operational effectiveness initiatives. With an optimized compiler and COBOL-to-Java runtime technology, vCOBOL Enterprise supports transitions from the mainframe to more affordable UNIX, Linux and Microsoft Windows systems by preserving business logic developed in long-standing COBOL programs.
The company says that using its approach to transform legacy assets maximizes the value of existing resources and significantly lowers total cost of ownership. Gartner analyst Dale Vecchio has said that re-hosting mainframe COBOL workloads is a low-cost and immediate modernization alternative for many organizations, with reduced IT spending typically occurring within one to three years of migration.
"Overall IT modernization may take several years, but re-hosting code to lower cost platforms can save costs and help pay for subsequent modernization activities," commented Vecchio. "Rehosting also enables companies to leverage their COBOL skills and modernize, as appropriate, on newer, distributed platforms," said Vecchio.
Veryant's COBOL technology utilizes an ANSI-compliant compiler to translate COBOL source code into Java classes and the company says that this fosters ongoing COBOL application maintenance and modernization. COBOL itself is argued to provide a portable and extensible alternative for distributed COBOL apps running on platforms such as Micro Focus ACUCOBOL-GT and RM/COBOL.
Veryant has designed its latest offering around the process of shifting much of the 'heavy lifting' of operational analysis and execution instructions typically performed by alternative COBOL platforms during runtime, into its vCOBOL Compiler. In this scenario, vCOBOL technology is said to make optimal use of memory access and is tightly integrated with UniKix Mainframe Rehosting software from Clerity Solutions, delivering a proven and scalable platform to re-host mission-critical online and batch mainframe

Quikscribe - the #1 Digital Dictation and Transcription Software System
Introducing: The #1 Digital Dictation Software SystemYou won't find ANY other dictation/transcription software system that offers more features, benefits, or value! We provide professional solutions using our state-of-the-art software, with professional hardware from Philips, Olympus, Grundig, Nuance, and others.
Designed for Lawyers, Doctors, and Business!
Our solution is completely scalable - our customers range from sole proprietors to 600-attorney law firms and large hospitals, and include doctors, lawyers, executives, local and state courts, and government agencies.
AND - WE'RE COMPATIBLE WITH MICROSOFT WINDOWS 7, 8, and 10!
Our customers are busy professionals who require products that are easy to use, easy to maintain, and offer features to improve the way they handle business. Here's what they have to say:
"Quikscribe has been a tremendous addition to our office. My staff loves the time it saves trying to figure out what's on a tape. Sending the files over our computer network substantially reduces turnaround time, since the files are transcribed as they are finished, instead of when the tape is full! I also like using the cut and paste text feature for capturing case quotes while I do legal research. You've got a winner here, and I would strongly recommend it to every lawyer I know."
"I wanted to take this opportunity to give you a status update since you installed Quickscribe for me nine months ago. In a nutshell, I keep asking why we did not do this years ago. This has meant the world to us with regard to efficiency and report turnaround. In-house it is a mere convenience but off-site use of the system has clearly allowed us to work smarter and not harder. Both dictators and transcribers have benefited greatly and Quickscribe works so well with our LIS that generating reports has never been easier. All users are completely happy with the system and of the few problems encountered, all were user related. Reliablity has been so good that I am considering disposing of the old system that I had expected to use as a back-up. Thanks for all your initial support. At this point, I guess you are feeling a bit like the Maytag repairman!"<br>
Want to hear an actual testimonial dictated by a customer using the Quikscribe Recorder? Please visit our Testimonials page.
"Over the years I have spent thousands of dollars on dictation systems. I have been using the Quikscribe system for approximately one year. It has met or exceeded all my expectations. The Quikscribe staff was very helpful in setting up this program. The software has been very reliable and the hardware is extremely easy to use. The Quikscribe system was easily my best investment in 2003."

We produce the world's most advanced digital dictation and digital transcription system specifically designed for professional environments in legal, medical, educational, and business communities. We do not make this claim lightly, and we back it with one of the most potent guarantees in the industry. We are able to guarantee your satisfaction because we have designed and developed a revolutionary audio format called an IAF (Intelligent Audio File). Rather than just be able to record and edit audio like other digital transcription products the IAF (Intelligent Audio File) can handle audio, text, images, databases and much more. As a result we have taken digital dictation and digital transcription to a new level, with many unique features, as detailed below.
Cut and paste text attachments within audio files. Thus saving considerable dictation and transcription time if text of reference documentation or existing precedents are included to create a document.
Capture and insert screen shots within audio files. A picture can be worth a thousand words, so instead of trying to explain something, you can now show it. This is ideal for creating user manuals or technical documentation.
Insert other documents or files within audio files. Which means, rather than make reference to other supporting documents and files, you can now insert the files within a IAF (Intelligent Audio File) and send the package as a complete file.
Instantly Undo and Redo (unlimited) audio edits. Never again do you need to rewind within an audio file when you make a mistake. Simply press the Undo button and remove your last edit or multiple edits instantly. Likewise, if you ever accidentally record over a section, simply press Undo and your original audio is still intact.
Share large audio files. If a large audio file is required to be transcribed in minimal time, it is possible for multiple typists to transcribe the same audio file, each transcribing different parts of the same file.
Database-driven. Each file has a built-in database, which keeps track of the file's history. As a result, you can interrogate any file, at any time and find out its current status. Or, interrogate an entire queue or multiple queues and get a status of every file plus the total backlog down to the last second.
Built-in interactive multimedia training. The first time that the Quikscribe Recorder is installed and started, a built-in interactive training tutorial appears that explains how to use the Hand Control Microphone. As you select each button with either the Hand Control or mouse, text appears explaining what and how the button works. After a little bit of practice you will find that the hand control becomes second nature, whereby you can record and edit audio, while doing several other things at the same time. After completing the tutorial, you can start creating and recording real files.
Record, edit and compress audio at the same time. The Quikscribe Recorder can record, compress and edit audio all at the same time. The major benefit is that your audio files are kept very small, which significantly decreases your storage space and the time to send a file to the transciptionist.

President Barack Obama all-but-endorsed a deficit reduction proposal introduced earlier today by the so-called " Gang of Six" U.S. Senators.
In a statement at the beginning of today's press briefing, Obama called the Gang of Six proposal "broadly consistent" with the vision for deficit reduction he laid out, adding that it is "balanced."
Obama has frequently mentioned that any debt limit deal will have to be in "balance."
The president called the Gang of Six proposal a "very significant step" in the talks, saying he has to read it over before giving it his full-throated endorsement.
Obama again stressed the importance of reaching a deal soon, saying "We are in the eleventh hour and we don't have a lot of time left." He encouraged congressional leaders to begin "talking turkey" on reaching a deal tomorrow.
House Republicans are preparing a vote on "Cut, Cap and Balance" today, their rival proposal that Obama has already threatened to veto, and has no chance of passing the Democrat-controlled Senate.

U2 star Adam Clayton married his model girlfriend Mariana Teixeira in a small ceremony in Dublin, Ireland, on Wednesday.
The couple, dating for four years, had been expected to marry in France but decided to tie the knot at a registry office closer to home instead.
The 53-year-old, who was once engaged to supermodel Naomi Campbell, proposed to Teixeira in her native Brazil earlier this year, and the pair will be celebrating the wedding with a three-day reception for more than 150 guests in France over the weekend.

Updated: March 16, 2012
Tyler Clementi was an 18-year-old Rutgers University freshman who killed himself in September 2010 after discovering that his roommate had secretly used a webcam to stream Mr. Clementi's romantic interlude with another man over the Internet.
The suicide of Mr. Clementi, who jumped off the George Washington Bridge, focused national attention on the victimization of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth. Public figures including Ellen DeGeneres and President Obama spoke out about the tragedy, and New Jersey legislators enacted the nation's toughest law against bullying and harassment in January 2011. Rutgers also responded in several ways, among them a plan to introduce gender-neutral housing — co-ed dorm rooms for gay, lesbian and transgender students who request it — and training staff in suicide awareness.
In late February 2012, Dharun Ravi, 20, his roommate, went on trial at Middlesex Superior Court, charged with 15 counts, including bias intimidation — a hate crime that was based on the victim's sexual orientation — and invasion of privacy. He was not charged in Mr. Clementi's death.
On March 16, Mr. Ravi was found guilty on all counts, including tampering with evidence and a witness and hindering apprehension. The jury found that he did not intend to intimidate Mr. Clementi the first night he turned on the webcam to watch. But the jury concluded that Mr. Clementi had reason to believe he had been targeted because he was gay, and in one charge, the jury found that Mr. Ravi had known Mr. Clementi would feel intimidated by his actions.
Mr. Ravi could get years in prison — and could be deported to his native India, even though he has lived legally in the United States since he was a little boy — for his part in an act that cast a spotlight on teen suicide and anti-gay bullying and illustrated the Internet's potential for tormenting others.
Prosecutors said Mr. Ravi, motivated by antigay sentiment, intentionally set out to embarrass Mr. Clementi.
Mr. Ravi's lawyers portrayed him as a young man who may have acted foolishly, but was not homophobic and did not intend to hurt his roommate. They said he was suspicious of Mr. Clementi's boyfriend and was worried that the man might steal his computer, so he set up his webcam to keep an eye on his belongings. His lawyers said that he was "a kid" with little experience of homosexuality who had stumbled into a situation that scared him. Mr. Ravi, they argued, was being sarcastic when he had sent messages daring friends to connect to his webcam, or declaring that he was having a "viewing party."
But prosecutors argued that his frequent messages mentioning Mr. Clementi's sexuality proved that Mr. Ravi was upset about having a gay roommate from the minute he discovered it through a computer search several weeks before they arrived at Rutgers in fall 2010.
The star witness in the case was "M.B.,'' the young man whose date with Mr. Clementi was captured by Mr. Ravi's webcam. The full name of M.B., who appeared to be in his late 20s or early 30s, was withheld to protect his privacy.
M.B. testified that as he and his new boyfriend lay naked on Mr. Clementi's bed, he sensed he was being spied on. "I just happened to glance over," the man said. "It just caught my eye that there was, you know, a camera lens looking directly at me."
As he left the room that night, he testified, a group of students were standing nearby, joking and looking at him in a way that unsettled him. He wanted to see his new boyfriend again — they had been exchanging e-mails for weeks now, but had had only three dates, and were texting furiously in the hopes of setting up another one. But he was not sure he would return to the dorm. "I felt a little uneasy about it," he said.
Ravi Posted Twitter Feeds and Texts
An investigator testified that as Mr. Ravi posted Twitter feeds about using a webcam to see Mr. Clementi in a sexual encounter with another man, one of those reading intently was Mr. Clementi. In the two days before he jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge, Mr. Clementi checked Mr. Ravi's Twitter account 38 times, said the investigator, Detective Gary Charydczak of the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office.
Detective Charydczak said that in the early hours of Sept. 21, Mr. Clementi saved a screenshot of a Twitter post that Mr. Ravi had sent two days earlier; it read: "Roommate asked for the room until midnight. I went into molly's room and turned on my webcam. I saw him making out with a dude. Yay."
That night, Mr. Clementi saved a screen shot of another Twitter post from Mr. Ravi, which read: "I dare you to chat me between the hours of 9:30 and midnight. Yes, it's happening again."
Detective Charydczak testified that Mr. Ravi's hard drive showed that he later edited that post to read, "Don't you dare chat me." After Mr. Clementi died, Mr. Ravi added a Twitter post in response to the one he had sent on Sept. 19. The new post read: "Everyone ignore that last tweet. Stupid drafts."
Michelle Huang, who had known Mr. Ravi in high school and was also a student at Rutgers, testified that he had sent her a text message about "keep the gays away" and urged her to watch a feed from a webcam that he had trained on the bed where he expected Mr. Clementi to have a tryst with another man.
Earlier in the trial, a Rutgers employee testified that Mr. Clementi had submitted a request online to be transferred to a single room. On the form, which was sent electronically around 4 a.m. on Sept. 21, 2010, Mr. Clementi wrote that he wanted to move because "roommate used webcam to spy on me." However, Judge Glenn Berman did not allow that statement into evidence, ruling that it was hearsay.
Other Rutgers Students Testify During the Trial
Molly Wei, a friend of Mr. Ravi who joined him in spying on Mr. Clementi, was originally charged in the case. Her charges were dropped in exchange for testifying for the prosecution, performing 300 hours of community service and attending counseling for cyberbullying.
During the trial, Ms. Wei said that three days before Mr. Clementi leapt to his death, she twice watched him on her laptop computer kissing another man inside the dorm room that he shared with Mr. Ravi.
Ms. Wei said Mr. Ravi was concerned that his iPad might be stolen from the room because Mr. Clementi had asked him to leave for a few hours while he was alone with a man, whom Ms. Wei recalled Mr. Ravi describing as "an older, shabbier-looking guy." From Ms. Wei's room across the hall, they turned on Mr. Ravi's webcam and for a few seconds saw Mr. Clementi kissing the other man before they turned off the camera.
Ms. Wei, who had known Mr. Ravi since middle school, testified that she had never before seen two men kissing. She said that despite being "freaked out" over viewing "something we shouldn't have seen," she later turned Mr. Ravi's webcam back on to show the scene to her roommate and three female friends.
Ms. Wei testified that Mr. Ravi had told her that he suspected his roommate was gay.
Lokesh Ojha, another student, testified that Mr. Ravi pulled him away from a game of foosball in a dormitory lounge on the university's Piscataway campus on Sept. 21 and told him that his webcam had captured Mr. Clementi kissing a man.
The two then went to Mr. Ojha's room, he said, where Mr. Ravi, knowing that Mr. Clementi had invited his date over again that night, set up the iChat function on Mr. Ojha's laptop to test that the webcam was directed at Mr. Clementi's bed.
Mr. Ojha said that Mr. Ravi encouraged him to send text messages to other friends to alert them to watch his Twitter feed, where he told them to turn on their computers to watch the webcam feed.
Mr. Ravi was initially charged with invasion of privacy. The grand jury also charged him with a cover-up. The Middlesex County prosecutor's office said he had deleted a Twitter post that alerted others to watch a second sexual encounter that Mr. Clementi planned and replaced it with a post "intended to mislead the investigation." Prosecutors said Mr. Ravi had also tried to persuade witnesses not to testify.
Mr. Ravi was charged with additional counts of attempted invasion of privacy for trying to carry out a second live transmission. The authorities said he tried to use the camera a second time and boasted on Twitter that he had seen his roommate "making out with a dude." That attempt was thwarted after Mr. Clementi found the camera aimed at his bed.
After discovering that his roommate had spied on him, authorities said, Mr. Clementi jumped from the George Washington Bridge on Sept. 22, 2010.
Anonymous postings that appear to have come from Mr. Clementi, identified after his death in the forums of a gay chat site, show a student wrestling with his rising indignation over a breach of privacy and trying to figure out how best to respond.
Classmates say Mr. Clementi, an aspiring violinist from Ridgewood, N.J., mostly kept to himself. Danielle Birnbohm, a freshman who lived across the hall from him in Davidson Hall, said that when a counselor asked how many students had known Mr. Clementi, only 3 students out of 50 raised their hands.
The Star-Ledger of Newark reported that Mr. Clementi posted a note on his Facebook page the day of his death: "Jumping off the gw bridge sorry." Friends and strangers turned the page into a memorial.

Scooped: Mango Lassi Frozen Yogurt
I scream, you scream, we all scream for...
Get the Recipe
Next to masala chai, there's no greater beverage ambassador to India than a mango lassi. And while it's not my favorite lassi variation out there—you'll find me with a plain, salt-tinged one, or better yet a spicy, asafoetida-kissed neer more—I can't deny that it's a pretty smart thing to do with mangoes and yogurt.
It's also a good basis for getting more frozen yogurt into your life. Real frozen yogurt, the kind made with ingredients you can understand and has a naturally tart kick. Unlike Red Mango / Pinkberry / 16 Handles junk, real frozen yogurt isn't pumped with air, stabilizers, and artificial flavors. You don't need candy to make it taste like something. And you don't need to suffer the indignity of paying for your dessert by the self-measured ounce.
Try this at home with sweet, ripe mangoes and you'll be surprised at how genuine and good real frozen yogurt can be. The lime juice and zest in the recipe aren't typical to a sippable mango lassi, but they give the final scoop an added tropical complexity.

At the ripe age of 86, Dick Van Dyke is having an eventful year, both professionally and personally.
The "Mary Poppins" actor is scheduled to appear in a one-night live performance in September that will benefit the Malibu Stage Playhouse. The Sept. 12 performance is to feature Van Dyke alongside the Vantastix, a vocal ensemble, at the Smothers Theatre at Pepperdine University.
Earlier this week, the Screen Actors Guild announced that Van Dyke will receive its Life Achievement Award, which will be handed out during the guild's January ceremony.
And earlier this year, Van Dyke married Arlene Silver, a makeup artist who is more than 40 years his junior. It is the second marriage for the actor.
Van Dyke, with his brother, Jerry, performed at the Malibu Stage Playhouse in 2011 in a limited-run engagement of Neil Simon's "The Sunshine Boys." The year before, the star of "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and "Diagnosis: Murder" had to cancel a planned autobiographical musical revue at the Geffen Playhouse following an injury to his Achilles tendon.
Among Van Dyke's many professional awards are a Tony Award for the 1960 Broadway production of "Bye Bye Birdie" as well as multiple Emmys for "The Dick Van Dyke Show."
Tickets for the Malibu Playhouse benefit are $65 and $85 and available on Ticketmaster.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Bill Belton ran for a 2-yard touchdown in the fourth overtime to lift Penn State past No. 18 Michigan 43-40 in maybe the biggest win in Coach Bill O'Brien's two seasons with the Nittany Lions.
Penn State's Christian Hackenberg was sensational in regulation on the tying drive, completing passes of 29 yards to Brandon Felder and 33 yards to Allen Robinson to bring the ball to the 1 with 29 seconds left.
The freshman quarterback sneaked in for the first rushing TD against Michigan this season, tying the game at 34-all.
Brendan Gibbons kicked two field goals and missed two — one was blocked — in OT for the Wolverines (5-1, 1-1). Sam Ficken kicked two, and didn't need to attempt a fourth, thanks to fourth-down conversion by Penn State The Nittany Lions (4-2, 1-1 Big Ten) stormed the field in wild celebration, sending more than 100,000 fans into a frenzy.
No. 25 Missouri 41, No. 7 Georgia 26
ATHENS, Ga. -- Receiver Bud Sasser threw a 40-yard touchdown pass to L'Damian Washington in the fourth quarter after quarterback James Franklin left with a shoulder injury and No. 25 Missouri held off No. 7 Georgia's comeback attempt to upset the Bulldogs, 41-26.
Missouri (6-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) led by 18 points in the first half before Georgia (4-2, 3-1) cut the lead to 28-26 in the fourth quarter.
The Tigers answered the challenge with two late touchdowns despite losing Franklin to a shoulder injury.
After Franklin was taken to the locker room, freshman backup Maty Mauk threw a lateral to Sasser, who stopped and tossed a deep to the end zone for Washington. Washington, who outfought cornerback Damian Swann for the catch, had 115 yards and two touchdowns.
James Ponder's interception of Aaron Murray's pass with 4:25 remaining set up Henry Josey's 7-yard touchdown run to end Georgia's hopes.
Texas 36, No. 12 Oklahoma 20
DALLAS -- Case McCoy threw two touchdowns, defensive tackle Chris Whaley returned an interception 31 yards for a score and Texas beat 12th-ranked Oklahoma, 36-20.
It was the first win for McCoy and these Texas seniors over the Sooners. And it provides a reprieve, if only temporarily, for Longhorns coach Mack Brown from all the speculation about his future.
It was Brown's 154th victory in his 16 seasons at Texas. That matches coach Bob Stoops' win total in 15 seasons with the Sooners.
Texas (4-2, 3-0 Big 12) never trailed after Whaley's impressive touchdown play in the first quarter.
Oklahoma (5-1, 2-1) had won three in a row in the series, the last two by at least 38 points.
Daje Johnson had an 85-yard punt return for a TD for Texas. Jonathan Gray had 123 yards rushing and Malcolm Brown had 120.
No. 1 Alabama 48, Kentucky 7
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- T.J. Yeldon and Kenyan Drake each ran for two touchdowns to help top-ranked Alabama blowout Kentucky.
After a scoreless first quarter thanks to fumbles by the running backs and dropped passes in Kentucky territory, the Crimson Tide (6-0, 3-0 Southeastern Conference) scored on their last eight possessions and outgained the Wildcats (1-5, 0-3) 668-170.
AJ McCarron shook off the handful of drops to throw for a career-high 359 yards, including a 20-yard touchdown to Kevin Norwood.
Yeldon scored from 24 and 3 yards and finished with 124 on 16 carries; Drake added 106 yards and a pair of 1-yard TDs on 14 attempts. Altee Tenpenny added a late 7-yard TD run and Cade Foster kicked field goals of 25 and 20 yards.
Alabama's defense rang up four sacks, though it did allow its first TD in four games.
No. 2 Oregon 45, No. 16 Washington 24
SEATTLE -- Marcus Mariota threw for 366 yards and three touchdowns, added another 88 yards and a TD rushing, and No. 2 Oregon won its 10th straight over their rivals to the north with a 45-24 victory over No. 16 Washington.
Mariota's passing was nearly spotless, he used his legs to make the Huskies pay when throwing options were covered and was easily the best player on the field. Mariota completed 24 of 31 passes, and ran another 13 times. He threw touchdowns of 4 yards to Bralon Addison and a 65-yarder to Josh Huff on the first possession of the second half for the Ducks (6-0, 3-0 Pac-12). Huff had to be carted to the locker room with an apparent right leg injury in the first half, only to come back after halftime and burn the Huskies secondary.
Bishop Sankey ran for 167 yards and touchdowns of 60 and 25 yards for Washington (4-2, 1-2), but had a costly first-half fumble.
No. 3 Clemson 25, Boston College 14
CLEMSON, S.C. -- Tajh Boyd ran for the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter and defensive end Vic Beasley followed with a 13-yard fumble recovery score to keep No. 3 Clemson undefeated and on track for next week's Atlantic Coast Conference showdown with Florida State with a 24-14 over Boston College.
The Tigers (6-0, 4-0 ACC) were out of synch offensively most of the game and trailed 14-10 entering the final period. That's when Boyd led the 48-yard drive that ended with his 6-yard rush into the end zone to put Clemson on top.
When Boston College got the ball back, Chase Rettig fumbled when sacked by linebacker Tony Steward and Beasley was there to scoop up the ball and put the Tigers up 24-14 over the Eagles (3-3, 1-2).
Boyd also had a touchdown pass and finished with 334 yards passing to become the school's all-time leader in passing yards.
Utah 27, No. 5 Stanford 21
SALT LAKE CITY-- Utah's defense made a goal-line stand in the final minute and Dres Anderson scored twice, helping the Utes to their biggest upset at home.
This marked the first time in school history the Utes (4-2, 1-2 Pac-12) have knocked off a top-five program at Rice-Eccles Stadium. They beat No. 4 Alabama in the Sugar Bowl following the 2008 season.
Kevin Hogan marched the Cardinal down to the 6, but on fourth down, amid heavy pressure, he overthrew his intended target. The Utes took a knee to end the game and the 13-game winning streak of Stanford (5-1, 3-1).
No. 9 Texas A&M 41, Mississippi 38
OXFORD, Miss. -- Johnny Manziel threw for 346 yards, ran for two touchdowns and No. 9 Texas A&M rallied to beat Mississippi, 41-38.
Texas A&M's Josh Lambo made a 33-yard field goal as time expired to give the Aggies (5-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) the win. They trailed 38-31 midway through the fourth quarter, but Manziel engineered a 75-yard drive, ending with his 6-yard touchdown run to tie the game at 38 with 3:07 left.
Ole Miss (3-3, 1-3) was down 21-10 in the third quarter, but rallied thanks to two unlikely touchdown passes by backup quarterback Barry Brunetti.
Johnny Football made his usual array of spectacular plays, but also a few costly mistakes, including an interception in the end zone during the third quarter and a fumble early in the fourth. In the end, he was victorious.
Ole Miss' Bo Wallace threw for 301 yards and three touchdowns.
No. 10 Louisiana State 17, No. 17 Florida 6
BATON ROUGE, La. -- Jeremy Hill rushed for 121 yards, Zach Mettenberger passed for 152, and LSU's defense did the rest to give the 10th-ranked Tigers a 17-6 victory over No. 17 Florida.
LSU, which came in averaging 45.5 points, had a much harder time finding the end zone against a Florida defense rated among the nation's best, but 1-yard touchdown runs by fullback J.C. Copeland and freshman reserve quarterback Anthony Jennings were enough for the Tigers (6-1, 3-1 Southeastern Conference).
After yielding 44 points in its only loss of the season at Georgia two weeks ago, the LSU defense kept an opponent out of the end zone for the first time this season. Tyler Murphy passed for 115 yards for the Gators (4-2, 3-1), who led 3-0 early, but managed only another field goal after that
No. 11 UCLA 37, California 10
PASADENA -- Brett Hundley passed for a career-high 410 yards and three touchdowns, Paul Perkins rushed for an early score, and No. 11 UCLA prepared for tougher October challenges with a 37-10 victory over California.
Devin Fuller, Thomas Duarte and Shaq Evans caught touchdown passes as the Bruins (5-0, 2-0 Pac-12) got ready for back-to-back road games at Stanford and Oregon by grinding out a win over their upstate UC rivals.
UCLA struggled with nine penalties and an unimpressive running game in the absence of injured tailback Jordon James, but Hundley went 31 for 41 while picking apart the Bears' injury-depleted defense.
Jared Goff passed for 215 yards in the freshman's first game since his school-record 504-yard performance for Cal (1-5, 0-3).
No. 14 South Carolina 52, Arkansas 7
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Connor Shaw threw for 219 yards and accounted for four touchdowns, and No. 14 South Carolina dominated Arkansas in a 52-7 win.
Mike Davis added 128 yards rushing on 19 carries for the Gamecocks (5-1, 3-1 Southeastern Conference), who won their fourth straight game after a loss to Georgia on Sept. 7.
All-American defensive end Jadeveon Clowney returned after missing last week's game against Kentucky and had one tackle for South Carolina, which outgained the Razorbacks 537-248.
The loss is the fourth straight for Arkansas (3-4, 0-3), matching first-year coach Bret Bielema's longest losing streak of his career.
It was also his most lopsided loss as a coach. The Razorbacks are 0-3 in the SEC for the first time since 2007.
No. 15 Baylor 35, Kansas State 25
MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Bryce Petty threw for 342 yards and three touchdowns, Ahmad Dixon made a critical interception late in the fourth quarter and No. 15 Baylor held on to beat Kansas State, 35-25.
Tevin Reese had five catches for 184 yards and two scores, and Antwan Goodley had five catches for 139 yards and another touchdown for the Bears (5-0, 2-0 Big 12), who ran their winning streak to nine games dating to their win over Kansas State last season.
The Wildcats (2-4, 0-3), behind 199 yards and three rushing TDs by quarterback Daniel Sams, took a 25-21 lead in the third quarter. But they missed a tying field-goal attempt in the fourth quarter and then Sams threw an interception on their ensuing possession that allowed the Bears to escape.
Wisconsin 35, No. 19 Northwestern 6
MADISON, Wis. -- Melvin Gordon ran for a 71-yard touchdown and Chris Borland led a fierce defense that figured out No. 19 Northwestern's high-octane offense in a 35-6 win.
The Badgers (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten) had seven sacks before a raucous homecoming weekend crowd. Jared Abbrederis burned the secondary for a 63-yard touchdown reception before leaving with a head injury.
Northwestern (4-2, 0-2) the league's peskiest defense, forced three more turnovers to increase its season total to 17.
The Wildcats just couldn't turn those mistakes into points. And they were doomed by the big plays by Gordon and Abbrederis.
Gordon had 22 carries for 172 yards and the long run that gave Wisconsin a three-possession lead before halftime.
Do-everything quarterback Kain Colter was held to 10 yards rushing for Northwestern.
No. 20 Texas Tech 42, Iowa State 35
LUBBOCK, Texas -- Backup quarterback Davis Webb threw for three touchdowns and 415 yards in place of the injured Baker Mayfield to lead No. 20 Texas Tech over Iowa State, 42-35.
Webb was 35 for 56 with an interception and Kenny Williams, DeAndre Washington and Sadale Foster each ran for a score for Texas Tech (6-0, 3-0 Big 12). The Red Raiders are bowl eligible at the earliest date since 2008 in their first season under coach Kliff Kingsbury.
The Cyclones (1-4, 0-2) got a 95-yard kickoff return and 38-yard punt return from Jarvis West, and 12 points off three turnovers by the Red Raiders. The Cyclones pulled within 42-35 on a touchdown pass from Sam Richardson to E. J. Bibbs with less than 2 minutes left. Richardson was 15 for 38 for 168 yards and a touchdown.
No. 23 Northern Illinois 27, Akron 20
DE KALB, Ill. -- Jordan Lynch threw for two touchdowns and ran for another as No. 23 Northern Illinois extended its home winning streak to 23 games with a 27-20 Mid-American victory over Akron.
Lynch was 16 of 35 for 220 yards passing and ran for 83 more. Cameron Stingily rushed 21 times for 80 yards and a touchdown and Tyler Wedel added field goals of 42 and 21 yards for the Huskies (6-0, 2-0 MAC East).
Jawan Chisholm scored on a pair of 1-yard first half runs for Akron (1-6, 0-3) and ran 20 times for 70 yards. Kyle Pohl was 24 of 56 for 262 yards.
The home winning streak is the nation's current longest. A 34-31 loss to Idaho on Sept 26, 2009 was Northern Illinois' more recent defeat at Huskie Stadium.
Akron's road loss was its 30th straight, also the nation's longest current streak. The Zips' beat Central Michigan 42-35 on Oct. 18, 2008 for its last road win.
No. 24 Virginia Tech 19, Pittsburgh 9
BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Logan Thomas threw an early touchdown pass, Cody Journell kicked four field goals and No. 24 Virginia Tech sacked Pittsburgh's Tom Savage eight times in a 19-9 victory.
The Hokies (6-1, 3-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) won their sixth straight game and ended a four-game losing streak against the Panthers, avenging a 35-17 loss a year ago that sent Virginia Tech into a long skid.
This time, they proved just as inhospitable hosts to the ACC newcomer Panthers (3-2, 2-2).
Savage, who tied an ACC record with six touchdown passes three weeks ago in a 58-55 victory against Duke, never had much of a chance to get wide receivers Devin Street and Tyler Boyd into the game. Savage's sacks totaled minus-49 yards, and he has now been sacked 15 times in his past two appearances.
Michigan State 42, Indiana 28
EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Jeremy Langford scored four touchdowns, and Michigan State recovered from an early defensive breakdown to beat Indiana, 42-28.
The Spartans (5-1, 2-0 Big Ten) prevailed in a matchup between their top-ranked defense and Indiana's fast-paced offense. Tevin Coleman scored on a 64-yard run for the Hoosiers (3-3, 1-1) just 61 seconds into the game, but Michigan State took control shortly after halftime.
Indiana's Nate Sudfeld went 14 of 30 for 137 yards, although backup Tre Roberson threw two touchdown passes.
Indiana came in ranked No. 1 in the Big Ten in total offense, but Michigan State had the nation's top-ranked defense.
Langford finished with 109 of Michigan State's 238 yards rushing. His 32-yard touchdown made it 35-21 with 3:23 left in the third quarter — after Shane Wynn had brought the Hoosiers within a touchdown with a 2-yard scoring run.
Nebraska 44, Purdue 7
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Ameer Abdullah ran for 126 yards and a touchdown to help Nebraska defeat Purdue, 44-7.
Terrell Newby ran for 61 yards and Imani Cross added 56 yards and two touchdowns for the Cornhuskers (5-1, 2-0 Big Ten).
Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez sat out with a turf toe injury. Tommy Armstrong Jr. started and completed just 6 of 18 passes for 43 yards with three interceptions. Ron Kellogg III stepped in and completed 10 of 13 passes for 141 yards and a touchdown.

Danny Etling completed 14 of 35 passes for 184 yards and a touchdown in his first career start. DeAngelo Yancey caught five passes for 146 yards and a touchdown for the Boilermakers (1-5, 0-2).
Duke 35, Navy 7
DURHAM, N.C. -- Anthony Boone threw three touchdown passes in his first game back from injury and Duke beat mistake-prone Navy, 35-7.
Boone, who missed three games with a broken collar bone, was 31 of 38 for a career-high 295 yards for Duke (4-2).
He had touchdowns covering 27 and 18 yards to Isaac Blakeney and 3 yards to Max McCaffrey.
Darius Staten had a 7-yard touchdown run for the Midshipmen (3-2). They were denied their first 4-1 start since 2006 and haven't beaten the Blue Devils since 2007.
Jela Duncan had a 5-yard scoring run and Shaquille Powell ran 7 yards for a TD for Duke, which rolled up 435 total yards and pulled away with touchdowns on five of its first six possessions after the first quarter.
Boone and the Blue Devils threw at will against a top-30 Navy pass defense that's allowing just 205.5 yards passing per game.
Army 50, Eastern Michigan 25
WEST POINT, N.Y. -- Terry Baggett ran for four touchdowns — including a 96-yard score — and a school record 304 yards, the highest mark in Division I this season, as Army came back to beat Eastern Michigan, 50-25, for the fifth time in six games.
Baggett's performance broke Michael Wallace's mark of 269 yards set in 1999 and marked the first 300-yard rushing performance for Army, which debuted in 1890.
Larry Dixon added 69 yards and a score for the Black Knights (3-4), who went up 22-15 on Trenton Turrentine's one-yard touchdown with 9:46 left in the second and never looked back. Turrentine finished with 92 yards.
Tyler Benz was 17 for 26 for 223 yards, two touchdowns and an interception for the Eagles (1-5, 0-2 MAC), while Bronson Hill rushed for 143 yards and a touchdown.
Army finished with 551 all-purpose yards.

Living in areas with freezing temperature and snow every winter season simply means that you must always be prepared to do some precautionary maintenance on your asphalt driveways and pavements in the fall season. Preparing and thinking beforehand in order to protect your asphalt paving, parking lots and driveways will definitely help with minimum damage as well as repair in the spring months.
Removal of snow is very essential however; the machinery can cause destruction to asphalt if not performed appropriately. In addition to that, the salt and deicers can also have poor effects on the environment and your asphalt paving.
One of the greatest benefits to asphalt paving is the natural drainage capabilities. As a matter of fact, asphalt has large pores and so, big amounts of melting snow and water naturally drain into the subgrade and through the asphalt and back to the ground. This process is a big help in preventing pooling of water, flooding and runoff.
Snow plows must be set half an inch above the asphalt in order to prevent further damage. City snow plows are often set accordingly for this very purpose. If you have unbalanced surfaces on your asphalt parking lot or driveway then, these raised places will have some destructions during the months of spring which will need to be professionally repaired.
Professional and highly reputable asphalt companies will often use polyurethane cutting edge on plow blades in order to decrease the impact on your asphalt driveway or parking lot.
Place a marker or cone on the corners of the curb to help the snow plows avoid destroying the property or curb edge of the asphalt paving.
The greatest culprit of winter weather condition on asphalt surfaces is actually the constant cycle of free-thaw. When there is a fluctuation of temperature, it will basically lead to melting and freezing of snow that retracts and contracts the surface of the asphalt. When water freezes inside hairline cracks, it can expand these cracks that cause big potholes and even bigger cracks. When this damage is already noticeable, you should contact a professional and highly reputable asphalt service provider before the problem gets worse.
Winter can cause issues to several areas of your house but with gentle care, your asphalt driveway or parking lot should not be one of your many problems.
When you have done your assignment and chose to decide that hiring a professional and highly reputable company is important for your commercial and residential property, you should consider finishing off the borders or edges of your asphalt parking lot or driveway with a boundary of stones or bricks. The following are some of the many methods in your asphalt pavement installation process:
1. Demolition and Removal
2. Sloping and Grading
3. Install Sub Base
4. Asphalt Surface
5. Binder Surface
6. Completion Roll
Therefore, your beautiful and brand-new asphalt Sealcoating installation is ready and complete to provide you with several years of comfort and convenient rides as well as add extra beauty to your house or business property.

text: No stranger to speaking to crowds of sports fans, Tom Caron '86 reminded the group of more than 100 people assembled to hear him not that long ago, "I was you." Caron, or TC, as he's known affectionately to the millions of New England sports fans who tune him in regularly on New England Sports Network (NESN), was remembering people and experiences from his Saint Michael's student days, which he credits for launching his professional success. "The course that was the most important to me here at St. Mike's was the course or path the college laid out to allow me to get to where I wanted to be," said Caron, an award-winning Boston-based sportscaster known best as the popular studio host for NESN's Boston Red Sox TV broadcasts. He also covers college hockey plus minor league hockey and baseball, and he once did Boston Bruins studio shows. Caron spent the better part of January 28 on campus meeting and greeting old friends and mentors along with current students, after a warm and spirited alumni event at Halverson's Restaurant in downtown in Burlington where alumni peppered Caron with questions—mostly about the Red Sox. Both days, he recounted one great story after another about his friendships and adventures with such Sox icons as Nomar Garciaparra, David "Big Papi" Ortiz, co-hosts Dennis Eckersley, Jim Rice, Jerry Remy, and many more. He also relived defining Sox World Series moments, such as sharing the milestone 2004 win on the phone with his 80-something dad and his son who was then eight, or almost getting fired from WPTZ, a station in Plattsburgh, New York, when he could scarcely contain, on the air, his exasperation after the 1986 "Bill Buckner" debacle against the Mets. Caron spoke to journalism students at Tuesday's luncheon in the same secondfloor Alliot Vermont Room where, as he told them, he used to work on the student newspaper the Defender, as sports editor. Introducing and escorting him was Lou DiMasi, Associate Dean of Students, another old friend from the sportscaster's days covering St. Mike's hockey teams that DiMasi coached in the '80s. Caron told students that his first-ever TV sports report was covering a table tennis tournament in Middlebury for WPTZ, where he'd interned as a junior and senior. The station asked him to cover the story at the last minute, forcing him to make the then-epic and wrenching decision to miss P-Day. In retrospect, Caron says, he knows he made the right call, because that report led to another WPTZ assignment, and a few months after graduation they called him to be a weekend anchor based on the skill he'd demonstrated. From there his career was off and running. Stops en route to NESN included a tiny station in White River Junction, Vermont, then stations in his home state of Maine, including work as a broadcaster and publicist of Portland's minor league hockey team. NESN officials saw his work from that period, liked what they saw and hired him in 1995. He's worked there ever since. Read on for the full story.

Greg Cote's Week 4 NFL picks
Abysmal marries Dismal and they have a child named Crap. I think that would about describe my last week, when I someow managed to be below .500 against the spread AND straight-up. Do you know how difficult that is? I did get the Dolphins-Falcons game right and I also had Colts-with-points over Niners and, um, ah, that would just about do it for the highlight reel. Did I mention I picked the Giants to win a game they lost, 38-0? Let's move on. Quickly, please! [Note: Thursday-game pick was 49ers (-3) over Rams, 24-17].
|Vs. spread
|Last week
|Final 2012
Line: NO by 6 1/2.
Cote's pick: NO 34-20.
TV: 8:30 p.m. Monday, ESPN (airing in South Florida).
Frankly there are better Week 4 matchups I'd peg more likely for closer games — Seahawks-Texans and Patriots-Falcons come to mind — but I can hardly be accused of playing the homer card in giving the Game of the Week nod to a pair of 3-0 teams merging on a Monday stage. I only wish I could give Miami much of a chance to get to 4-0 for the first time since 1995 in its record 79th MNF appearance. But I can't. I don't. It isn't that I think the Dolphins are a fluke; Miami should be one of the 75.4 percent majority of 3-0 teams that go on to make the playoffs. No, it is that Drew Brees seems all but unstoppable, and doubly so at home. He has eight straight 300-yard games and also is on an 8-0 run on Mondays, with a 24-5 TD/pick ratio and a 120.6 rating over that span. The Dolphins also tend to have trouble with other teams' tight ends, and the ex-Cane Jimmy Graham happens to be a one-man wrecking ball, with 313 receiving yards in past two games. Factor the possibility both DT Paul Soliai and DE Cam Wake could miss the game injured and I just can't see Miami keeping the Saints under 30. This is the Dolphins' big chance to barge into the national conversation. Alas, the likelihood of a rout seems greater to me than the chance of an upset.
Line: DET by 3.
Cote's pick: CHI 27-24.
TV: 1 p.m., FOX (airing in South Florida).
"AAAWWWK!" yodels the Upset Bird, coptering over this game as a vulture might hover over carrion. "Marc Trestmaawwk!" New coach Marc Trestmaawwk I mean Trestman has the Bears believing, but series trends predating his arrival make me like Chitown here. Bears have beaten Motown in nine of past 10, with 27 takeaways. My big concern about this call isn't that Detroit should have Reggie Bush back. It is that the Windies might not have CB Charles Tillman (groin), who is one of the few guys with a positive history covering Calvin Johnson. "Indeed, Megatron poses a concern," admits U-Bird. "Nevertheless: Chicaaawwwk!"
Line: PIT by 1 1/2.
Cote's pick: PIT 23-20.
TV: 1 p.m., CBS (airing in South Florida).
Hello, London! Will you forgive us turning Wembley Stadium into Winless Stadium? Actually there is at least one NFL game this week I'd much less rather watch than this one (nothing personal, Cardinals-Bucs), but the Dog committee simply could not resist the week's only clash of 0-3's. Luckily, "Steelers-Vikings" seems like a great matchup to most Brits, wo don't know any better. Pittsburgh and Minnesota are going from country to country until they find one they can win in. QB Christian Ponder (ribs) is iffy for Purples, helping tilt the pick.
Line: BAL by 3 1/2.
Cote's pick: BAL 27-13.
TV: 1 p.m., CBS.
The Ravens risk a natural letdown after last week's home rout of Houston, but the Buffs present a struggling offense to a Baltimore defense that has not allowed an opponent TD for two straight games. Also, Ray Rice should return from injury here for Crows, his welcome wagon a god-awful Williams run-D.
Line: CIN by 4 1/2.
Cote's pick: CIN 21-19.
TV: 1 p.m., CBS.
The font of Ohioans' pride, this state battle finds both teams coming off dramatic wins. Brownies rallied past Vikings, and Gals became first team since 1999 to somehow win despite allowing 30 unanswered points. Cincy's Marvin Lewis is 14-6 vs. Earthtones, including seven of past nine, and two of past three by the lake. Like Clevers to stay close, though. CB Joe Haden should make A.J. Green work for his yards.
Line: KC by 4 1/2.
Cote's pick: KC 27-24.
TV: 1 p.m., FOX.
So many reasons point to Chiefs here. K.C. and Justin Houston lead league in sacks, and Giants O-line is what Charles Barkley might call "turrible." Carrful Chiefs are plus-9 on turnovers, and bumbling NYG is minus-13. Andy Reid is 2-0 this season vs. former NFC East rivals. And yet! I gut-feel this one close, and give NYG a major upset shot. Bonus fact: Giants, Redskins and Steelers are all 0-3 for first time in NFL history.
Line: TB by 2 1/2.
Cote's pick: TB 20-17
TV: 1 p.m., FOX.
Third-round rookie Mike Glennon out of North Carolina State makes his first QB start for Buccaneers upon the benching of Josh Freeman. Coach Greg Schiano's desperation is showing, but this is needed fresh air and could be a spark. — especially if WR Vincent Jackson (ribs) can play. Zona is battling a bunch of injuries so make it an unconfident venue pick.
Line: IND by 8.
Cote's pick: IND 23-17.
TV: 1 p.m., CBS.
Indy has a stout ground game (146.3 average) fortified by Trent Richardson, and J-Ville has the dead-worst run defense in the league. Still, Jags are home and should have Blaine Gabbert back, and they catch Colts coming off a big upset of San Fran. So there are reasons to be tempted by that large point spread, especially if the homies can manage an afternoon of vintage Maurice Jones-Drew.
Line: SEA by 3.
Cote's pick: HOU 24-21.
TV: 1 p.m., FOX.
Upset! Houston was my preseason Super Bowl pick (yes, I still admit that), and I like Texans to bounce back big at home here after that embarrassing loss to Ravens. Seattle, though good everywhere, is not as dominant on the road, and is due a stumble. The recipe for HOU: A lot fewer penalties than last week's 14, no Matt Schaub INTs, Andre Johnson (shin) in the lineup and J.J. Watt reminding Russell Wilson he isn't in his home comfort zone.
Line: TEN by 3 1/2.
Cote's pick: TEN 21-20.
TV: 4:05 p.m., CBS.
Two teams pleasantly surprised to be 2-1 finds Jets leading league with 34 penalties and Titans (31) not far behind, but Tennessee has zero turnovers. Take Nashvillians at home in what essentially is a coin-flip game, but leaning Planes ATS with that dangling extra half point tantalizing me like a damned piece of pie.
Line: WAS by 3.
Cote's pick: WAS 27-23.
TV: 4:25 p.m., FOX.
Terrelle Pryor's iffy status (concussion) had Matt Flynn on call for Oakland, not a huge drop-off. Two really bad defenses here. Washington's is worse, but Robert Griffin III is better equipped to take advantage of fissures on the Raiders side. Give Oaks a medium-large upset shot but stikc with the Unmentionable Nicknames.
Line: DEN by 10 1/2.
Cote's pick: DEN 41-24.
TV: 4:25 p.m., FOX (airing in South Florida).
The Saturday over/under (57 points) suggests an entertaining game if not a close one. How can you go wrong with Peyton Manning's awesome air-raid offense on one side and the flurry of Chip Kelly and his blitzkrieg rushing attack on the other? But here's the difference: Broncos put up a solid run defense against Philly's strength, but the Birds have little on pass-D to suggest Peyton won't put up huge numbers once again. Big point spread, but an even bigger faith in Manning right now.
Line: DAL by 2.
Cote's pick: DAL 30-24.
TV: 4:25 p.m., FOX.
Chargers family jarred this week by the suicide of former teammate Paul Oliver, a safety from 2007 to 2011. Hard to read the effect of that, if any. More tangibly, Tony Romo and DeMarco Murray could fantasy-pleasing stats against a beatable Diego defebse, and Cows' pass rush should really test a shaky Bolts O-line.
Line: ATL by 2.
Cote's pick: ATL 27-23.
TV: 8:30 p.m., NBC (airing in South Florida).
Here's a game I'd pay to watch. So strange for the Patriots to be getting points (even two), and that's makes English a seriously tempting underdog in this Sunday prime-timer. It's just that Atlanta is much more desperate and also is a very strong home club; Matt Ryan is 34-5 as a starter in the ATL. Tom Brady and his Pats are due an offensive bustout game, but with Rob Gronkowski and Danny Amendola likely both still out, this doesn't feel like the week for that.
PACKERS (1-2; next vs. Lions): Aaron Rodgers' Pack scored 30 unanswered points at Cincinnati last week and somehow managed to lose — only the third time in NFL history that has happened.
PANTHERS (1-2; next at Cardinals): In last week's 38-0 win Cats sacked NYG's Eli Manning seven times, forced three turnovers and held Lilliputians under 150 yards offense. The word is "annihilation."
