Checking in on… the Ivy LeaguePosted by Brian Goodman on February 28th, 2011
Howard Hochman is the RTC correspondent for the Ivy League.
A Look Back
While most of the country dribbles through the dog days of February with talk of seedings and bubbles (alive, alive-o), the Ivy League plays in search of their conference champion and its NCAA tournament representative. After their first meeting, it appeared the rest of the schedule would be a formality for Harvard and Princeton, as they both moved inexorably toward a March 5 date with destiny. But then….
A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To A Title: After beating Harvard at home at the beginning of February, and extending their winning streak to five, Princeton could be forgiven if they were looking a month ahead to the rematch; a game where a win would all but guarantee an Ivy championship. And indeed, despite a couple of close calls along the way, the Tigers did win another five straight, allowing them to maintain their slim lead on the Crimson who, to their credit, kept pace. A trip to Providence did not seem to represent a particularly difficult hurdle. But then they let Brown do it to them. It was a game they never really threatened to win, leading only once briefly mid-way through the second half, before a 13-2 Bear run put the ribbon around a 75-65 win. It was the most points the defensive-minded Tigers had allowed since their early season Duke debacle. They were no better offensively as those Tigers not named Ian Hummer and Kareem Maddox shot a collective 8-32. The loss dropped them out of the league lead and needing an unlikely Crimson crumble to regain it. This past Saturday, they got what they needed.
Not exactly The Game, but anything pitting the Bulldogs against Harvard gets the juices flowing in New Haven and Cambridge. And it should have come as no surprise to see the Crimson stub their toe. After the Princeton loss, they needed two overtimes to beat Penn, had to dig out of two large halftime holes in both games against Brown, and eked out a three point win vs. Yale at home. The rematch at Lee Amphitheater saw Harvard cling to a slight lead most of the way. But the Elis hung tough and went ahead with 41 seconds remaining. Harvard had a couple of shots to win, including a Brandyn Curry missed layup at the buzzer, but fell 70-69 and out of first place. Harvard must now defeat Princeton next weekend and then hope for the Quakers to play spoiler. A playoff is a distinct possibility where fate could be decided by a flip of the coin to determine home court.
The Future is Now: Most basketball fans by now have heard of Kyrie Irivng of Duke and the ACC and Brandon Knight of Kentucky and the SEC. Both great freshman guards. But it is unlikely any league can boast of three backcourt newcomers that have made an immediate impact like Miles Cartwright, Sean McGonagall and Laurent Rivard have done in the Ivy League. Cartwright is perhaps the most electric with the most upside once he gets a bit stronger. He announced his presence in the season opener for Penn when he came off the bench to score 18 first half points against Davidson. He has started the last 17 games and seems unlikely to relinquish that spot. Rivard has had the most impact; thrown into the pressure cooker as Harvard's sixth man as they search for their first ever Ivy crown. But the most versatile and most consistent has been McGonagill at Brown. He has started every game for the Bears and is third in scoring and rebounding while leading the team in assists. Amazingly, their stats are almost identical:
Player Minutes FG% FT% PPG
McGonagill 33 45% 83% 11.7
Rivard 25 43% 89% 11.2
Cartwright 34 43% 82% 11.6
Throw in Rivard's two made threes per game, Cartwright's defense (1.3 steals per game), and McGonagill's four rebounds and five assists per game and you have three worthy candidates for Ivy Freshman of the Year.
Player of the Week: By his own standards, it is likely Zack Rosen of Penn would be the first to admit that it has been a disappointing year for him and for the team. After all he was the defending RTC Ivy Player of the Year and some of the more zealous Quaker faithful and alumni were quietly confident that this team could contend for an Ivy title. Well that is not going to happen and Rosen is unlikely to earn back-to-back trophies for his mantle. After a couple of down games, Rosen has responded and led Penn to three straight wins before losing to Cornell. Over the past two weekends, he has played 146 of a possible 160 minutes. He shot 48% from the field, 54% from long range, and 89% from the line. He grabbed 15 boards, averaged six assists and 16.5 points per game. And while he only scored eight against Yale, his last-second basket was the game-winner. So this week, we honor the 6'1 junior from the Garden State with a fitting bouquet of..you guessed it, roses. The Zack Attack lives!
Power Rankings
1. Princeton (22-5, 10-1)—The Tigers breathe a sigh of relief as they come from behind to take the lead versus Columbia, scoreboard watch, and see Harvard go down in defeat. Princeton can celebrate if they beat the Crimson on Saturday and then not have to worry about a date with Penn that follows. The most veteran team still is experiencing shooting woes, however.
2. Harvard (21-5, 10-2)–Probably the most talented team has played in spurts over the last two weeks and that attitude finally came back to bite them. A win on Saturday most likely guarantees a playoff. An interesting scenario finds the Crimson at 43 in RPI rankings-ahead of tournament likely Missouri State (Missouri Valley champs), Florida State ( #3 in the ACC), Butler (atop the Horizon with Cleveland State), and Marquette (9-7 in the Big East). Could the unthinkable happen and the Ivies get two bids in the new and expanded NCAA Tournament?
3. Penn (12-13, 6-5)–Below .500 overall and trailing Yale by a half game in standings, but the Quakers rank above the Elis thanks to a head-to-head series sweep. A disappointing pair of losses to Cornell and two other overtime disappointments sealed their fate. One has to wonder if Fran Dunphy (or Steve Donahue) on the bench might have made a difference in those games and kept the Quakers in the mix.
4. Yale (7-5, 14-12)—Yale made Princeton fans ecstatic when they found a way to beat Harvard. Having lost five close games during the season, they will definitely be a contender next season as they lose no one of consequence. Player of the Year candidate Greg Mangano (averaging a double/double) should receive some national recognition.
5. Columbia (5-7, 14-12)–A promising start for first year coach Kyle Smith came grinding to a halt as the Lions have lost six of their last eight. Columbia has the opportunity to finish .500 if they get two home wins to conclude the season. Another team that returns its nucleus and must be in the 2011-2012 conversation.
6. Brown (4-8, 11-15)—The Bears have beaten Princeton, sustained a two-point loss at Penn, and have had Harvard on the ropes twice. I have a feeling coach Jesse Agel is a star in the making, as is his freshman point guard Sean McGonagall (see above). They will lose Peter Sullivan but return everyone else who contributes.
7. Cornell (4-8, 8-18)–Four games ago, coach Bill Courtney started looking ahead and has played 14 players in three of their last four games and averaged 13 players in their last seven games. It has worked, as the Big Red is 4-3 over that span. Have to believe this prime recruiter will have Ithaca rocking soon.
8. Dartmouth (1-11, 5-21)–After beating Cornell, it looks as if Dartmouth will end the season on an 11 game losing streak. With the teams above them keeping most of their good players, it is difficult to imagine the Green escaping the cellar. Most promising is freshman guard Tommy Melville who has averaged in double figure over the last four games.
A Look Ahead
One weekend left to the Ivy season, so circle the date—Saturday, March 5. That is when Princeton travels to Cambridge to visit Harvard. A Princeton win sends the Tigers dancing; a Harvard win and all eyes then turn to the Palestra three days later as Penn tries to ruin the season of their archrivals. A playoff for league honors is not out of the question. Either way, as per usual, the one left standing will become the first official entrant into the 2011 NCAA Tournament.
Whatever happens, our next column will take a close look at the Ivy champ, how they eventually earned the crown, and dissect their matchup with their first round opponent, and if they realistically have a chance to duplicate Cornell's run. We will also bestow our annual Bradley Awards in the form of the All-Ivy team, Coach of the Year, Newcomer of the Year, Sixth Man of the Year, and of course, Player of the Year
And as an added bonus, as defending RTC NCAA Bracket Pool contest winner, and proud owner of the coveted red leather Hickory High letter jacket, I feel it is my duty and responsibility to offer you my analysis of this year's tournament–including who may surprise and of course the team that will ultimately enjoy a shining moment. See you then!

Like something straight out of The Crucible, 12 girls in Upstate New York have fallen suddenly ill, displaying acute symptoms such as verbal outbursts and tics. Unlike Abigail Williams et al., these young women—who all attend LeRoy Junior Senior High School in LeRoy, NY— are no fakers, having had their mysterious disorder legitimized by a still somewhat-bewildered medical community.
Neurologist Dr. Laszlo Mechtler, who has worked with the girls for the last three months, has recently diagnosed them with "conversion disorder" or mass hysteria, a condition that, though rare, does occur. He says, "It's happened before, all around the world, in different parts of the world. It's a rare phenomena."
What triggered the disorder in two dozen seemingly unrelated girls is still unclear. Their school has conducted environmental reports, all concluding that the school buildings have no negative affect on the students' physical health. Mass hysteria can also occur after a stressful event, but in this case, symptoms appeared after incidents as low stress as an afternoon nap.
"I was perfectly fine. There was nothing going on, and then I just woke up, and that's when the stuttering started," said Thera Sanchez, one of the students showing symptoms.
Luckily for Sanchez and the others, Dr. Mechtler is confident that the girls will recover with the help of therapy, saying, "The bottom line is these teenagers will get better."

So back to QTR, does it give you the ability to fire individual jets? If so, it would be great to concentrate on just firing those jets that are plugged and hopefully wasting less ink.
Hi Eric,Looks like you've been having some fun with the printhead. Thanks for posting the pics! I'm attaching a document that should help understanding the inner workings of what you're seeing. Also, here is a link for you which should be a good read if you're curious. http://doc.utwente.nl/58366/1/thesis_Wijshoff.pdf Granted, they are a little dated... All the best,Chris
Hi Eric,Nice handiwork! Be aware that hygrometers can be "inaccurate" with regard to actual measurements, but as you've found, the key point here is to just find a level on the gauge at which your printer is "happy"---so although actual humidity may only be 55% and your gauge reads 80%----it really doesn't matter as long as you've found that happy printer humidity level to maintain.Carmel humidity levels are constant, and only turning on the heat (which I don't) dries out the air. I've got an extra humidifier if you'd like to give it a try; it's a lot less work than you think.ken
What brought me to this place was my desire to purchase a 4900. Steve

If we had to tell Congress and the public the true cost of the war, we were afraid of what it would do to the rest of the budget the money for education, poverty, Medicare. In time, we had to figure it out and come clean. It wasn't the price tag that hurt as much as it was the body bag. The dead were coming back in such numbers that LBJ began to grow morose, and sometimes took to bed with the covers pulled above his eyes, as if he could avoid the ghosts of young men marching around in his head. I thought of this the other day, when President Bush spoke of the loss of American lives in Iraq. He said, "I'm the one who will have to look the mothers in the eye."
LBJ said almost the same thing.
No president can help but think of the mothers, widows, and orphans.
Mr. Bush is amassing a mighty American armada in the Middle East - incredible firepower.
He has to know that even a clean war a war fought with laser beams, long range missiles, high flying bombers, and remote controls can get down and dirty, especially for the other side.
We forget there are mothers on the other side. I've often wondered about the mothers of Vietnamese children like this one, burned by American napalm. Or Afghan mothers, whose children were smashed and broken by American bombs.
On the NBC Nightly News one evening I saw this exclusive report from Afghanistan those little white lights are heat images of people on foot. They're about to be attacked.
That fellow running out in the open - were he and the people killed members of Al Qaeda, or just coming to worship?
We'll never know. But surely their mothers do.
And there will be mothers like them in Iraq.
Saddam won't mind - dead or alive; and we won't mind, either.
The spoils of victory include amnesia.
Ah, the glories of war; the adrenaline that flows to
men behind desks at the very thought of the armies that will march,
the missiles that will fly, the ships that will sail,
on their command.
Our Secretary of Defense has a plaque on his desk that says, "Aggressive fighting for the right is the noblest sport the world affords."
I don't think so.
To launch an armada against Hussein's own hostages,
a people who have not fired a shot at us in anger, seems a crude and poor alternative to shrewd, disciplined diplomacy.
Don't get me wrong. Vietnam didn't make me a dove; it made me read the Constitution. That's all. Government's first obligation is to defend its citizens. There's nothing in the Constitution that says it's permissible for a great nation to go hunting for Hussein by killing the people he holds hostage, his own people, who have no choice in the matter, who have done us no harm.
Unprovoked, the noble sport of war becomes the murder of the innocent.
Tell us what you think.

When deer, elk, pronghorn or turkey cause agricultural damage, the Division may hold hunts — called depredation hunts — that are not listed in the hunting guidebook or online. Depredation hunts occur on short notice, involve small areas and are limited to a few hunters. The majority are antlerless big game hunts or either-sex turkey hunts.
If you're interested in participating in depredation hunts, click "proceed" below and fill out the application to be entered into the depredation hunter pool.
If you participate in a depredation hunt, please remember, you may NOT obtain two buck deer, two bull elk permits or two turkey permits in a single year. You may obtain a buck deer permit and an antlerless deer permit, a bull elk permit and antlerless elk permit, or two antlerless elk permits. You can only have one pronghorn permit. If you have successfully harvested a turkey during the calendar year, you will not be eligible to participate in a turkey depredation hunt.
The online depredation hunter pool application system will accept applications from July 1 through January 31. Applicants must complete a new online application each year. Applicants will be removed from the hunter pool database if the applicant has requested to be removed or has successfully harvested an animal.

Battery Research Could Lead to Shorter Recharge Time for Cell Phones
Adding a bit of graphene to battery materials could dramatically cut the time it takes to recharge electronics
New battery materials developed by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Vorbeck Materials Corp. of Jessup, Md., could enable electric vehicles, power tools and even cell phones to recharge in minutes rather than hours.
In collaboration with Vorbeck and researcher Ilhan Aksay at Princeton University, PNNL has demonstrated that small quantities of graphene—an ultra-thin sheet of carbon atoms—can dramatically improve the power and cycling stability of lithium-ion batteries, while maintaining high energy storage capacity. The pioneering work could lead to the development of batteries that store larger amounts of energy and recharge quickly.
New battery materials developed by the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Vorbeck Materials Corp. could enable electric vehicles and other consumer electronics to recharge in minutes rather than hours. Here a PNNL researcher prepares and tests lithium ion batteries and lithium/air batteries for vehicle and other mobile applications.
Today, a typical cell phone battery takes between two and five hours to fully recharge. Researchers think using new battery materials with graphene could cut recharge time to less than 10 minutes.
Battelle, which operates PNNL for DOE, entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with Vorbeck for use of its unique graphene material, Vor-xTM, in battery materials synthesis research.

Every week, Aaron Kline, our resident aquarist expert, answers your aquarium and pond questions. To ask Aaron your question - click here
Does ALL tap water have chlorine or chloramines in it?
What can I do to remove them?
Since I began working in the pet and aquatics industry more than 20 years ago, this has been one of the more commonly asked questions. Essentially, unless you have well water, the answer is yes. Almost all municipal tap water has chlorine and/or chloramines added to treat the water. That creates a problem for aquarium owners because both are toxic to your fish.
Chlorine is easier to remove than chloramine. The old way of dechlorinating water was to leave it stand overnight with an aerator and let the gas dissipate into the air. This can be effective, but not always guaranteed to work. Also, some of my customers believed that the aerator on the faucet was enough to dissipate the gas. This is definitely less effective than the overnight aeration method. I always tell customers to use a dechlorinator to ensure the chlorine is removed.
Chloramines, on the other hand, are more troublesome. Chloramines get absorbed into the fish body and become very toxic. Signs of chloramine poisoning are sluggishness and heavy breathing.
Chloramines are formed when ammonia is added to the water that contains free chlorine. Chloramines are much more stable in the water, thereby creating a better tap water disinfectant. The problem for aquarists is that aeration is not very effective at removing chloramines. The chloramines' bond must be broken before any tap water is added to the tank. I always recommended that, in order to be sure there are no poisonous gases in your tap water, you should use a product like Acurel Bodyguard+ when adding water to your tank.
When using Acurel F, how often can it be added to the aquarium?
Acurel is completely organic and all natural. It can be added to the aquarium daily for crystal clear water, without any side effects. I have been using Acurel F, without issues, since I was 12 years old! I remember leaving for school and putting Acurel in my tank (because I did a water change the night before, overfed them, or changed the filter creating a biological situation) and my mother saying "You don't need it!" When I returned home from school, the water was so clear it was as if the fish were suspended in air.
Beginning from when I had my retail store in Philadelphia to now as an Acurel representative, I have sold thousands of bottles of Acurel E and F. I have never received a complaint. This quote from an internet testimonial says it best: "Acurel takes the fine particulates that are just annoying when you get up close to your tank and binds them together and brings them to your filter. Even though you don't think you need it, try it and see the results". I remember those annoying particulates as a kid, not letting me see my fish clearly. That's why I have been using Acurel for well over 30 years!

Northwestern Energy Experimenting With Smart Meters [AUDIO]
Some environmental activists are raising concerns about 'smart meters', which continuously transmit information about electricity usage to a central location.
Corporate spokesperson for Northwestern Energy Claudia Rapkoch says the company is now experimenting with smart meters in Helena, with customers who have volunteered to use the new technology.
Rapkoch says the idea of a smart meter can help electrical customers to see exactly how much energy is being utilized throughout the day, thus enabling the customer to revise their usage and conserve both electricity and money.
She says most Northwestern Energy customers have been fitted with meters that can be read remotely from a passing company vehicle, so that workers can avoid the risk of injury from dogs, fences or inclement weather.
There are some concerns in environmental circles that the smart meters may emit dangerous radiation, or catch fire because of sloppy installation.

number of attacks
Does M&M use the extra attacks like in DnD? If your BAB is +6 do you get a 2nd attack at +1 and so on.

No, there are no iterative attacks in M&M as there are in D&D.

WASHINGTON – Mason Cos. of Chippewa Falls, Wis., sells shoes, women's clothing and general merchandise on the Internet and through mail-order catalogs. It does not produce or market computers or their components.
Yet six times in the past three years the 100-year-old business has been sued for infringing on software patents. Each time, the company felt no choice but to pay a licensing fee to avoid litigation costing 10 times as much to adjudicate.
"It's a shakedown," Mason's general counsel Tim Scobie said.
Mason is one of thousands of U.S. businesses targeted each year by patent trolls, companies that invent nothing but buy patents from companies and individuals that do. Critics say the trolls then file multiple suits in hopes of collecting licensing fees from people and businesses too poor or too busy to fight them in court.
"You end up with companies that aren't making anything, trying to extract a nuisance fee," explained Tom Cotter, a patent expert at the University of Minnesota Law School.
Cotter said the number of "patent assertion entities" and "non-practicing entities" — the formal names for trolls — has increased dramatically in the past few years. The growth stems from an explosion of patents for minute bits of information technology and broadly applicable business methods.
For example, a single smartphone may contain thousands of patented parts, or a single patented business method could be applied to thousands of different circumstances.
Companies that buy and enforce patents generally reject the label of trolls. They say they have a legitimate business and provide a necessary way for small companies or individuals to receive payment for their intellectual property.
A spokeswoman for Intellectual Ventures, one of the country's biggest non-practicing entities, declined to be interviewed. But a blog entry by the company's founder, Peter Detkin, summed up the philosophy: "The owner of the [intellectual property] is irrelevant; the fact of the [intellectual property] is what matters."
A recent survey by RPX Corp., a patent risk management firm, showed that patent trolls filed 62 percent of all patent infringement claims in 2012, up from 19 percent in 2006. The cost of legal fees and settlements from patent troll suits grew from $5.3 billion in 2008 to $10.9 billion in 2012.
The issue has reached such proportions that the White House declared war on patent trolls. Earlier this month, President Obama outlined legislative and regulatory fixes for a situation he said is hurting America's high-tech innovation and putting the country at a competitive disadvantage in the global economy.
Patent assertion entities, said the president, "leverage and hijack somebody else's idea and see if they can extort some money out of them."
Mass filings of infringement suits for a single patent are an expensive, time-consuming distraction to businesses and people who must defend themselves, said Dan McDonald, a patent attorney with the Minneapolis firm of Merchant & Gould, who just published a book on patent trolls.
"The main impact," he said, "is that companies have to spend money on lawyers instead of research and development."
But McDonald said companies sometimes must push back. He recently persuaded a small Minnesota medical device maker to challenge the validity of patents cited in three troll suits.
St. Paul-based 3M has interests on both sides of the issue. 3M needs to enforce the patents it receives to protect a $1.5 billion annual research and development effort, said Kevin Rhodes, the company's vice president for intellectual property. But 3M also has been a target of patent infringement claims by companies that don't develop or make products.
"We're not labeling anyone," Rhodes said last week as he moved around Capitol Hill talking to members of Congress about patent issues. But "there are some unfortunate practices that have developed."
While 3M worries that proposed legislation could make it harder for inventors to protect their intellectual property, the company has offered sample language for a law that would make it easier to see when shell companies buy up old patents and sue. Also, 3M has crafted language for a law that would make it easier to sanction those bringing frivolous patent suits.
The House and Senate seem poised to act, as they did two years ago when they agreed to the America Invents Act, the first comprehensive patent reform in more than 50 years.
"Patent trolls are a clear drag on innovation," Sen. Amy Klobuchar said. "This is not just some made-up anecdotal problem."
The Minnesota Democrat expects to examine the issue as part of a larger patent hearing she will hold as chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee's Anti-Trust Subcommittee.
Rep. Erik Paulsen, a Republican representing Minnesota's Third Congressional District, believes the House and Senate will come quickly to a bipartisan agreement.
"There is abuse that's going on," he said of patent trolls. "The challenge is to target the abusers in an effective way without casting too wide a net."
The way patent laws work, anyone who makes, sells or uses a legally patented device, technology or idea without paying a licensing fee breaks the law, the U's Cotter said. This fact has led patent assertion entities and non-practicing entities deep into the supply and demand chain.
"They blanket the country with suits on the hunch that some people will pay," Mike Lafeber of Minneapolis law firm Briggs and Morgan said. "They have stepped over a line."
A decade ago, "patent owners rarely if ever sued consumers," Cotter noted. "Today they might go after a coffee shop for using wireless technology."
Or they might go after an online seller like Mason Cos. for using software it had no role in developing or selling. What started more than a century ago as a shoemaking company is being coerced into paying licensing fees merely "for selling stuff on the Internet," Scobie said.
"It's not Oracle calling us up saying we're using their spreadsheet," he explained. "It's law firms that bought a bunch of patents at a fire sale."
Paying off those people is a "gut-wrenching ordeal," Scobie said. But it is also an inevitable business decision.
"We are a small organization in a small town," he said. "If it's going to cost us $25,000 for a license fee or it's going to cost us $250,000 to fight, don't even bother asking me."

Ivanka Trump — Crush of the Day [PICTURES]
Ivanka Trump, daughter of real estate mogul and now debate moderator Donald Trump, got a lot from her father — a pretty good business sense and the ability to build herself into a brand. Thankfully, she didn't get her looks or the proclivity for being a wind-bag from 'the Donald.' We'll refrain from stating the obvious and going for the cheap laugh by making jokes about his hairpiece. It's just too easy. Ivanka is successful and classy and therefore a logical choice for Crush of the Day honors.
Ivanka's full time job (beside looking fantastic) is Executive Vice President of Development & Acquisitions at The Trump Organization. She is also one of the boardroom judges on 'The Apprentice' and 'The Celebrity Apprentice' and makes the show much more enjoyable because staring at 'The Donald' for too long has been known to cause seizures in domesticated animals and the elderly.
Ivanka was also once offered the show 'The Bachelorette' but she declined. We assume it's because her father would want to step in, rebrand the rose ceremony with Trump brand roses and turn the whole show into an 'Apprentice' spinoff. Imagine not getting a rose and getting fired on the same reality show. It's enough to make any man's hair stand on end, even Mr. Trump's, but that only usually happens when the muskrat stands up off his head and walks away.

Sandwiched between the Gotham of the Lone Star State–Dallas and Fort Worth–stands the $753 million Texas Trust Credit Union, which recently launched an aggressive growth plan in one of the nation's largest and most competitive marketplaces dominated by big banks.
In August, Texas Trust announced that it has purchased a 78,660-square-foot office park in Arlington that will eventually become the credit union's new headquarters. Currently, it is based in nearby Mansfield. The big office space is going to be needed to accommodate the credit union's ambitious goals, which is to increase its membership from 58,000 to 100,000 and reach $1 billion in assets by 2016.
Texas Trust is no stranger to rapid growth throughout its 76-year history. By 1970, 34 years after it was founded, it became the largest credit union in Texas and the 15th largest in the U.S. Though Texas Trust continued to steadily expand its footprint and services throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the state's population exploded, adding more than six million new residents. Texas added more than 5 million people between 2000 and 2010. In the same years, the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex (as natives call it) grew from 5.1 million to 6.3 million.
Despite this staggering population growth, Texas Trust wasn't growing as fast. Over the last few years, its membership growth hit neutral. And until recently, Texas Trust had not opened a new branch in six years. The credit union focused primarily on serving its fiercely loyal core members and cross selling products to them. Today, among Texas' Top 25 credit unions, Texas Trust is ranked 20th.
"Historically, this credit union had not grown its membership over the last three or four years," said Jim Minge, Texas Trust CEO/president. "We know we need to keep growing that membership and pushing the needle forward to make sure we have the majority of our current members using our products and services."
In January, Texas Trust began a long-term, comprehensive marketing strategy with a combination of mass media and targeted marketing campaigns, event marketing and public relations initiatives. The credit union's plans have so far shown positive results. Membership and assets have grown by 9%, said Minge.
"We made a commitment to more than double our marketing and PR budget to make sure we had a consistent message in the communities we want to grow in and to stay in front of our targeted audiences all year long," Minge said. "In the past, when we had a marketing campaign, we kind of just dipped in and out of it for a couple of months in the year."
Texas Trust is looking to win new members in a key demographic group, married couples with young children who will need a variety of financial products and services to support their family's current and future needs.
"Dallas-Fort Worth is kind of a big bank town," explained Minge. "Bank of America, Chase and Wells Fargo have the majority of the market share. We are trying to get our new members from people who are fed up with the big banks and want a local alternative with lower fees, better service and where they can talk to a person."
The credit union is focusing on Internet radio channels and cable channels that will allow Texas Trust to target zip codes where the credit union's key demographic lives, said Amber Danford, vice president of marketing and public relations. Danford noted Internet radio provides a full array of measurement metrics that can help the credit union monitor the effectiveness of every ad and make adjustments when needed.
Danford selected Pandora's Radio because it has more registered users in ZIP codes that Texas Trust wants to reach. In addition to the audio ads, the credit union is running display ads on Pandora's Radio sites viewed by listeners on their laptops, desktops, smartphones or tablets.
"The one thing about Internet radio is that you are not competing against other ads that you hear on the broadcast radio where you usually hear three or four ads in a row," said Danford. "On Internet radio, you hear one ad in a 10 to 15 minute time frame, and that can help with listeners' retention of the ad."
Texas Trust is also running broadcast radio ads on Christian stations and Radio Disney. Additionally, Texas Trust is either participating or sponsoring community events the radio stations are holding throughout the year.
"The stations hit our demographics we are focusing on, but mostly those listeners are very loyal as well," Danford explained. "They usually listen all the time in that they don't change the dial every time a commercial comes on."
Texas Trust also is at the genesis of developing its social media program that is expected to play a larger role in the overall marketing strategy as membership grows. What's more, a major redesign of the credit union's website is under way so that it is easy to view and navigate not just on a desktop or laptop but also on smartphones and tablets.
"We just released a mobile app and we'll be offering remote deposit capture," said Minge. "We were a little bit behind the curve on that, but we are working as hard as we can to get ahead of the curve."
Minge said overcoming the perception of convenience is Texas Trust's biggest challenge in attracting new members.
To address the convenience obstacle, the credit union is committed to continuously enhancing its online and mobile services. Texas Trust also is building out its branch network and has joined the All-Point surcharge-free network that provides members with access to more than 40,000 ATMs.
"People are really driven by convenience. I think they would like to have an ATM at the end of their driveway or at least in their neighborhood," joked Minge.
While convenience may be a critical factor many credit unions struggle with, a recent market research study of 1,400 consumers by Boston-based Chadwick Martin Bailey found that credit unions are catching up with larger banks in the race for online banking convenience. The study said 43 percent of consumers believe online services are the key to convenience.
"Credit unions are upending the stereotype of being less tech savvy than larger banks," according to the report. "While larger banks have a reputation for offering the most online and mobile services, credit union customers report online banking usage that is just as high as larger bank customers, and they give their institutions higher marks on performance."
Although online and mobile services are essential in helping credit unions overcome the convenience perception, Minge knows Texas Trust can't realistically serve 100,000 members with its current network of eight branches, which include two in-school branches.
"We are committed to opening one to two branches a year over the next three years," he said. "But we may increase that number if we grow more than expected."

JUNCTION CITY, Ore - A swastika along Highway 36 flown on private property in Junction City is just one example of hate speech in Lane County, according to County Commissioner Pete Sorenson.
He says flags like this are legal on private property, but he still doesn't want to see them.
"This kind of hate speech is just not welcome in our community," he says.
In light of this recent swastika flag, county commissioners met late last month and voted on the "Proclamation Against Hate Speech."
Basically, commissioners are using their free speech to condemn this type of speech. They can condemn it but not change it.
"As most people know, the swastika is a symbol of hatred," says Sorenson. "We feel while we cannot regulate that kind of speech under the federal and Oregon constitution, we feel we certainly can condemn it. And that's exactly what we did."
The swastika flag is no longer up but a sign is that reads, "Barack Osoma Obama Adolf Hitler" and other names. There are several misspellings on the poster.
KVAL News wanted to talk with the homeowner but before we could, he got on his loudspeaker and told us to leave.
"There's plenty of no trespassing signs so think about it idiots," he said. "You don't have permission to film my place. You point that thing at me and I'll assume it's got a gun in it."
According to law, KVAL can shoot video as long as we stay on public property. We were filming from a public highway.
Sorenson says, though nothing legally will change because of this new proclamation, Commissioners will take a stronger stand against hate speech. They're encouraging the public to do so as well.
"They can express their point of view," he says, "but that doesn't mean the rest of us can't express our point of view that we don't like it."
Sorenson also says it's important to remember on Veterans Day how many Americans fought against hate and also fought for our rights, including free speech.

Bought these for my '93 911 as the stock ride height was too high and the car moved around more than expected at higher speeds. These coilovers are adjustable so the set up is left to the user to determine ( track or street). The nice thing is having the option to adjust the way you want. My set up is for the street and the car is very compliant yet sticks like glue without body roll. Look is excellent and will push harder over the next month or so.

There has been a lot of concern and online chatter about iPhone/mobile applications and the private data that some send to various parties. Starting with the discovery of Path sending your entire address book to their servers, it has since also been revealed that other applications do the same thing. The other offenders include Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Foursquare, Foodspotting, Yelp, and Gowalla. This corresponds nicely with some research I have been doing into device ID leakage on mobile devices, where I have seen the same leakages, excuses, and techniques applied and abused as those discussed around the address book leakages.
I have observed a few posts discussing the issues proposing solutions. These solutions range from requiring iOS to request permission for address book access (as it does for location) and advising developers to hash sensitive data that they send through and compare hashes server side.
The first idea is a very good one, I see few reasons a device geolocation is less sensitive than its address book. The second one as given by is only partial advice however, and if taken as it is given in Martin May's post, or Matt Gemmel's arguments; it will not solve the privacy problems on its own. This is because 1. anonymised data isn't anonymous, and 2. no matter what hashing algorithm you use, if the input material is sufficiently constrained you can compute, or precompute all possible values.
Martin May's two characteristics of a hash [link] :
- Identical inputs will yield the same hash
- It is virtually impossible to deduce the original input from a hash if a strong hashing algorithm is used.
This is because, of these two characteristics of a hash the privacy implications of first are not fully discussed, and the second is incorrect as stated.
Hashing will not solve the privacy concerns because:
- Hashing Data does not Guarantee Privacy (When the same data is input)
- Hashing Data does not Guarantee Secrecy (When the input values are constrained)
The reasons not discussed for this are centered on the fact that real world input is constrained, not infinite. Telephone numbers are an extreme case of this, as I will discuss later.
A quick primer on hashing
Hashing is a destructive, theoretically one-way process where some data is taken and put through an algorithm to produce some output that is a shadow of the input. Like a shadow, the same output is always produced by the same input, but not the other way around. (Same car, same shadow).
A very simple example of a hashing function is the modulus (or remainder). For instance the output from 3 mod 2 is the remainder when 3 is divided by 2, or 1. The percent sign is commonly used in programming languages to denote this operation, so similarly
1 % 3 is 1, 2 % 3 is 2 3 % 3 is 0 4 % 3 is 1 5 % 3 is 2 etc
If you take some input, you get the same output every time from the same hashing function. The reason the hashing process is one way is because it intentionally discards some data about the original. This results in what are called collisions, and we can see some in our earlier example using mod 3, 1 and 4 give the same hash, as do 2 and 5. The example given will cause collisions approximately one time in 1, however modern strong hashing functions are a great deal more complex than modulo 3. Even the "very broken" MD5 has collisions occur only one time in every 2^24 or 1 in ~17 000 000.
A key point is that, with a hashing algorithm for any output there are theoretically an infinite number of inputs that can give it and thus it is a one-way, irreversible, process.
A second key point is that any input gives the same output every time. So, by checking if the hashes of two items are the same you can be pretty sure they are from the same source material.
Cooking Some Phone Number Hash(es)
(All calculations are approximate, if I'm not out by two orders of magnitude then…)
Phone numbers conform to a rather well known format, or set of formats. A modern GPU can run about 20 million hashes per second (2*10^7), or 1.7 trillion (1.7 *10 11) per day. So, how does this fit with possible phone numbers?
A pretty standard phone number is made up of 1-3 digits for a country code, 3 local code, and 7 numbers, with perhaps 4 for the extension.
So, we have the following range of numbers:
0000000000000-0000 to 9999999999999-0000
Or, 10^13 possible numbers… About 60 days work to compute all possible values (and a LOT of storage space…)
If we now represent it in a few other forms that may occur to programmers…
We have maybe 10-20 times that, or several year's calculations…
But, real world phone numbers don't fill all possible values. For instance, take a US phone number. It is also made up of the country code, 3 for the local code , and 7 numbers, with perhaps 4 for the extension. But:
- The country code is known:
- The area code is only about 35% used since only 350 values are in use
- The 7 digit codes are not completely full (let's guess 80%)
- Most numbers do not use extensions (let's say 5% use them
Now, we only have 350 * (10 000 000 *.8) * 1.05 or 2.94 billion combinations (2.94*10^9). That is only a little over two minutes on a modern GPU. Even allowing for different representations of numbers you could store that in a few of gigabytes of RAM for instant lookup, or recalculate every time and take longer. This is what is called a time space tradeoff, the space of the memory or the time to recalculate.
Anyway, the two takeaways for our discussion here regarding privacy are:
1. Every unique output value probably corresponds to a unique input value, so this hashing anonymisation still has privacy concerns.
Since possible phone numbers are significantly fewer than the collision chance of even a broken hashing algorithm there is probably little chance of collisions.
2. Phone numbers can be reverse computed from raw hashes alone
Because of the known constraints of input values It is possible to either brute force reverse values, or to build a reasonable sized rainbow table on a modern system.
Hashing Does NOT Guarantee Privacy
Anonymising data by removing specific user identifying information but leaving in unique identifiers does not work to assuage privacy concerns. This is because often clues are in the data, or in linkages between the data. AOL learned this the hard way when they released "anonymised" search data.
Furthermore, the network effect can reveal a lot about you, how many people you connect to, and how many they connect to can be a powerful identifier of you. Not to mention predict a lot of things like your career area and salary point (since more connections tends to mean richer).
For a good discussion of some of the privacy issues related to hashes see Matt Gemmell's post, Hashing for Privacy in social apps.
Mobile apps also often send the device hardware identifier (which cannot be changed or removed) to servers and advertising networks. And I have also observed the hash of this (or the WiFi MAC address) sent through. This hardly helps accomplish anything, as anyone who knows the device ID can hash it and look for that, and anyone who knows the hash can look for it, just as with the phone numbers. This hash is equally unique to my device, and unable to be changed.
Hashing Does not equal Secrecy
As discussed under "cooking some hash(es)" it is possible to work back from a hash to the input since we know some of the constraints operating upon phone numbers. Furthermore, even if we are not sure exactly how you are hashing data then we can simply put test data in and look for known hashes of it. If I know what 123456789 hashes to and I see it in the output, then I know how your app is hashing phone numbers.
The Full Solution to Privacy and Secrecy: Salt
Both of these issues can be greatly helped by increasing the complexity of the input into the hash function. This can both remove the tendency for anonymised data to carry identical identifiers across instances, and also reduce the chance of it becoming feasible to reverse-calculate all possible values. Unfortunately there is no perfect solution to this if user-matching functionality comes first.
The correct solution as it should be used to store passwords, entry specific salting (for example with bcrypt), is not feasible for a matching algorithm as it will only work for comparing hashed input to stored hashes, and it will not work for comparing stored hashes to stored hashes.
However, if you as a developer are determined to make a server side matching service for your users, then you need to apply a hybrid approach. This is not good practice for highly sensitive information, but it should retain the functionality needed for server side matching.
Your first privacy step is to make sure your hashes do not match those collected or used by anyone else, do this by adding some constant secret to them, a process called salting.
e.g., adding 9835476579080945368095468905486 to the start of every number before you hash
This will make all of your hashes different to those used by any other developer, but will still compare them properly. The same input will give the same output.
However, there is still a problem – If your secret salt is leaked or disclosed the reversing attacks outlined earlier become possible. To avoid this, increase the complexity of input by hashing more complex data. So, rather than just hashing the phone number, hash the name, email, and phone number together. This does introduce the problem of causing hashes to disagree if any part of the input differs by misspelling, typo's etc…
The best way to protect your user's data from disclosure, and your reputation from damage due to a privacy breach:
- Don't collect or send sensitive user data or hashes in the first place – using the security principle of least privilege.
- Ask for access in a very obvious and unambiguous way – informed consent.

We are very happy with our choice of mattress, firm, very comfortable, and natural - thank you. We almost went for the 1200 chenille over this one but my partner went to a showroom to try them out and the 1200 was MUCH softer so went for the 1400 with more pocket springs and so glad we did! Both sleeping better.

LG trumpets 3G wristphone
'Flattop' Jones surrenders
LG Electronics has lately been trumpeting its plans to debut a 3G wristwatch phone with a touch screen technology at the Consumer Electronics show in January.
The LG-GD910 watch phone is expected to first be punted in Europe next year, although an exact release date has yet to be determined.
LG's upcoming
handset wristset will sport a 1.43-inch (3.63-cm) screen used as a keypad for making calls or fiddling with high speed internet (apparently with tiny fingers). It will also have a camera and speaker built in for video calls and still shots.
Would you believe it's a watchphone?
Other features include MP3 playback, Bluetooth, text-to-speech commands, speaker phone, and some assurance that unlike a phone headset, people on the street won't have to calculate whether you're a dangerous lunatic screaming something about your precious Mr. Shangles' liver medicine into the thin air.
While there's no specific mention of it, we'd like to think the wrist watch phone will also tell time. That would be terrifically convenient.
More details can doubtlessly arrive when CES rolls into town. ®

ASHEVILLE, NC--(Marketwire - Nov 30, 2012) - When it was time for Roy Kim '12 to meet the final challenge on Superstar K4, the Korean equivalent of American Idol, he looked back to his days at Asheville School. After the three judges asked him to perform an original song, Kim recalled a song he'd written during his time at Asheville School when he was writing and recording songs in Anderson Hall and hosting his own Internet music channel on YouTube.
"I wrote this song while studying abroad," Kim told the judges. "I wrote it on the spot to comfort my friend who just broke up with his girlfriend then."
Turns out, that song he'd written in Asheville helped him win the competition and claim the $500,000 prize, which includes money for professional music production, a Nissan Cube, and the opportunity to perform at the 2012 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) on November 30 in Hong Kong.
"I really love and appreciate this song, so I feel happy about the chance to perform this song in public and hope you like it," Kim told the judges.
The contestants performed twice during the finale. Each performance was judged separately. Here is a link to the full episode, where Kim performs LeeSsang's Whose Life is This For at the 46 minute mark, and his original song Passing By at 1:05. The judges praised his original song and performance and awarded Kim 282 points, which was enough to claim the championship, according to Korea.com.
Kim plans to donate his prize money to charity. "I haven't decided on an organization yet, but I think I'll be spreading the money out to many different charities to help as much as I can," Kim said. He and his father made this decision in the preliminaries, according to okpop.com.
Asheville School's community was excited to hear the news of Kim's winning performances, especially since nearly 2 million people auditioned for the show. The school knew he was rising to stardom as they watched the view count on Asheville School's YouTube videos of Kim skyrocket; his chapel talk, a graduation requirement for seniors at Asheville School, has over 140,000 views. Most of Asheville School's YouTube videos that Kim is in have over 10,000 views.
"I was taken aback the first time I saw Roy perform on stage," said Assistant Head of School for Advancement John Thorsen. "He was playing a Coldplay song and reading the lyrics from a scrap of paper, yet his delivery was awesome. He just has that uncanny ability and energy to make it happen."
Asheville School senior Avi Goldstein also recalls Kim's performance of Coldplay's The Scientist as his most memorable. Goldstein is another ambitious and outgoing musician, and was a member of the a capella group Kim created at the school.
"Everything we did with the Ashefellaz was a highlight for me because it was an entirely new concept for the school, the first a cappella group ever, and it was awesome to be a part of that with Roy. I think a quality that Roy exhibited in the group was his ability to carry a song forward as a lead vocalist," Goldstein said.
The Ashefellaz debuted at a trustee dinner last year, performing Journey's Don't Stop Believin' in Head of School Arch Montgomery's house. Goldstein credits Kim with being the voice that gave the Ashefellz their unique sound.
"He definitely has confidence in his stage presence, and I think that helped him reach higher in his singing abilities and on Superstar K. I'm really excited to see that Roy has become so successful doing what he loves."
It wasn't long ago that Kim shared his musical talents on Asheville School's stage in Western North Carolina. Director of Residential Life and Humanities teacher Burt Gordon '87 was Kim's faculty advisor, and notes Kim's changes throughout his time as a student. As a freshman, Gordon recalls Kim being "hyper, full of energy, and smart" while participating in JV Soccer and Swimming.
"In his senior year, Roy still did very well in his classes. He didn't play soccer or swim anymore because he became more deliberate; more focused. He was totally focused on his music. Roy is determined, ambitious, and goal-oriented," Gordon said. "I am so happy for Roy; pursuing his dream to sing and record music. It is so nice to see students who work so hard enjoy success. He gave so much of himself to Asheville School, and he found his passion!"
After winning Superstar K4, Kim emailed Gordon and asked him to share a message with the school, letting them know he will visit as soon as his schedule settles down. Kim said, "Please tell everyone that I thank all of them for all the support along the way."
No matter the location of the stage, what language he's singing in, or how many people are in the crowd; Kim conveys his passion for music and connects with the audience in every performance.
A nationally acclaimed co-ed college preparatory boarding and day school, Asheville School enrolls approximately 275 students from across the country and overseas. Recent graduates are attending Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, University of Pennsylvania, Cornell, Caltech, UCLA, UNC-Chapel Hill, Davidson, NC State, University of Virginia, Emory, Duke, and Wake Forest, among others.

Wanna See Something Cool? Water and A Subwoofer [VIDEO]
Very few stereo hacks can make you wonder if reality is just the random creation of a vibration of pure energy. At the most, they usually make you question if the audiohead showing it to you has too much time on their hands.
This one, however, is a different story.
YouTube user Brusspup found a rather interesting side effect of his subwoofer and a couple of drops of water. They seem to ignore the very rules of physics.
If you don't believe the video is genuine, you can try it for yourself. Just run a plastic tube from a bucket in front of a subwoofer and let the water drop in front of it. Run the subwoofer on a sine wave of 24 hz and record it on a camcorder that records at 24 frames per second. The vibration syncs up with the frame rate and makes it appear that the water has frozen in mid-air on the video: in real life, it just streams as normally, but it creates a neat optical illusion on camera.
We know that kind of ruins the magic of it, but we wanted to try it for ourselves. See, there's a reason you learn physics in high school.

Sign-up The appointment of Mark Carney, the governor of the Bank of Canada and chairman of the G20's financial stability board, as the new governor of the Bank of England is welcome. I don't agree with much of anything the Chancellor does but this time is different. I congratulate George Osborne for getting his man. The appointment is a triumph for him. The Labour Party was rightly supportive. Carney has a degree from Harvard and a Master's and doctorate from Oxford. He previously lived in the UK for a decade, so he is no stranger. He will move to England with his British wife and four daughters and will apply for British citizenship, which one suspects won't be a problem. He has had a distinguished career, including time at Goldman Sachs and the Canadian department of finance, and his actions appear to have played an important role in helping Canada perform better than any other G7 country during the financial crisis. Unlike the UK, Canada has a small population and relatively little investment banking, but Carney appears to have the training and the smarts to learn fast. Little white lies Just like me, he did not apply for the job he eventually got at the Bank. The announcement came as something of a surprise but we had an inkling of what was coming on 26 November when, with an hour's notice, Jim Flaherty, the Canadian finance minister, called a press conference for exactly the time Osborne was making his announcement. Carney had denied he was interested but that is understandable, as it was potentially market-sensitive information, especially if he didn't get the job. Central bankers have to be able to tell white ones with a straight face. Bringing in an outsider was always the right thing to do, as Alistair Darling recommended months ago, given the failings at both the Bank of England and the Financial Services Authority. The failure of Northern Rock and the Royal Bank of Scotland appears to have been a complete surprise, and the Bank failed to spot a huge asset bubble and acted too late to prevent disaster. The last thing we needed was for the bookies' favourite, Paul Tucker, deputy governor of the Bank, to get the top job. He had failed to spot the recession or the double dip and was finally done in by his problems over the fixing of the LIBOR rate. Other contenders did not have Carney's credentials; none would have received the universal acclaim that greeted his appointment. Carney faces a huge task, not least because the economy remains in the doldrums. On 26 November, the OECD predicted that the UK economy will contract by 0.1 per cent this year, which implies no growth in the fourth quarter (and this may well be optimistic). It seems unlikely that much will have changed by the time the new governor takes over in June. The biggest task that Carney faces will be to bring together financial regulation and monetary policy under one roof. How this is to be done, including how the Financial Policy Committee will operate, has yet to be determined. He has to create most of the new structures from scratch. One of his great strengths, in contrast to the present governor, Mervyn King, is that he is said to be a half-decent manager of people. Carney will have to devolve power and, I hope, encourage dissent and bring in his own people. Groupthink needs to be tackled at the Bank of England. Carney's problems are only just beginning. I wish him all the best.

The photographer that viciously smeared John McCain at her website might be facing a lawsuit for violating the terms of agreement in her contract with The Atlantic magazine.
As NewsBusters reported Saturday, Jill Greenberg not only admitted to taking a rather sinister picture of the Republican presidential candidate that she hoped The Atlantic would use on its October cover, but she also generated some truly disturbing and disgraceful images of McCain which she proudly displayed at her website.
The magazine's editor, James Bennet, told Fox News's Megyn Kelly Monday that he was deeply sorry about this incident, and that The Atlantic isn't taking it lying down (audio available here, video and partial transcript follows, h/t NBer blonde) :
JAMES BENNET, EDITOR 'THE ATLANTIC': I'm already drafting a letter of apology [to McCain]. I mean, this photographer went in there under our auspices to take a covershot for us. Again, we stand by the picture, and we produced a terrific story on John McCain...But while she was there, she behaved in an incredibly underhanded and unprofessional way. [...]
MEGYN KELLY, HOST: What do you do to shut down her use on her website, not just of that covershot, but the disgusting things she has done to John McCain's image on her website which I won't repeat here?
BENNET: She's violated the terms of our agreement with her, or our contract with her. So, we're taking steps. We're looking into steps we can see to do something about that.
KELLY: Are you considering a lawsuit?
BENNET: We're looking into what we can do.
KELLY: Would that be including legal action?
BENNET: If we can, if it's available to us, yeah.
KELLY: Has she been paid?
BENNET: No.
KELLY: Will she be?
BENNET: No.
Clearly, this story isn't over yet...not by a longshot.
