The latest spectacle in judicial evisceration of the U.S. Constitution was provided this week by the Indiana Supreme Court. In a 3-2 ruling, the court decided that if a police officer enters your home illegally, you have no right under the Fourth Amendment to resist:
Overturning a common law dating back to the English Magna Carta of 1215, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Hoosiers have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes.Note the excuse offered by the court: Resisting illegal entry is "against public policy" and "modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence." What is "public policy"? Why, it's whatever politicians now say it is. And what is "modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence"? Why, it's the obliteration of what the Fourth Amendment meant when the Framers wrote it.
In a 3-2 decision, Justice Steven David writing for the court said if a police officer wants to enter a home for any reason or no reason at all, a homeowner cannot do anything to block the officer's entry.
"We believe ... a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence," David said. "We also find that allowing resistance unnecessarily escalates the level of violence and therefore the risk of injuries to all parties involved without preventing the arrest."
David said a person arrested following an unlawful entry by police still can be released on bail and has plenty of opportunities to protest the illegal entry through the court system. . . .
This is the second major Indiana Supreme Court ruling this week involving police entry into a home.
On Tuesday, the court said police serving a warrant may enter a home without knocking if officers decide circumstances justify it. Prior to that ruling, police serving a warrant would have to obtain a judge's permission to enter without knocking.
Make no mistake: These rulings are part and parcel of the century-long effort by Progressives to annihilate the U.S. Constitution. Since the days of Woodrow Wilson, they have seen the Constitution as an impediment to their power to "do good." Systematically dismantling the Constitution therefore has been a central objective in their social-engineering efforts.
The Framers sought to root the Constitution in "natural law"; as one scholar describes it, "the idea that there are rational objective limits to the power of legislative rulers. The foundations of law are accessible through human reason and it is from these laws of nature that human created laws gain whatever force they have."
By contrast, the "legal positivism" movement, which has its roots in the utilitarian philosophy of Jeremy Bentham, holds as its basic premise "that there is no inherent or necessary connection between the validity of a law on the one hand, and ethics or morality on the other. Therefore, in legal positivism, the law is seen as being conceptually separate (though of course not separated in practice) from moral and ethical values, and it simply sees the law as being posited by lawmakers, who are humans." Another authoritative source declares that "positivism is the view that law is a social construction." While positivists disagree about many things, that premise -- that law is a matter of social convention -- opens the door for the kind of relativism we see underlying the court decisions I mentioned.
The stampede from "natural law" underpinnings of the Constitution to complete relativism accelerated with the "legal realism" movement, popular in the early Twentieth Century and identified with such noted figures as Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Roscoe Pound, Justice Benjamin Cardozo, and Justice Louis Brandeis. The Supreme Court justices, in particular, issued rulings from this vantage point that serve as important precedents to this day. As one source notes, "legal realists advance two general claims: 1) Law is indeterminate and judges, accordingly, must and do often draw on extralegal considerations to resolve the disputes before them. 2) The best answer to the question 'What is (the) law?' is 'Whatever judges or other relevant officials do'."
It's not my purpose (nor within my qualifications) to comment further on jurisprudence. My only point here, briefly, is to take passing note of the kind of theories that could have led to anti-constitutional decisions such as those in Indiana and in Kelo. And in doing that, I hope one thing becomes clear:
Such theories are nothing more than formalistic rationalizations to allow the Ruling Class to exercise arbitrary, unlimited power.
The project of the Framers was to limit the power wielded by governmental officials: to constrain it so that it conformed to "natural law," by which individuals existed as ends, with certain "inalienable rights" to life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of personal happiness. This entire worldview is anathema to our self-appointed elites, which presume to dictate to the rest of us (i.e, their inferiors) how we ought to live our lives, and toward what ends. That is why Prof. Angelo Codevilla correctly labeled these elites "the Ruling Class" in his indispensable essay.
We can see, naked and exposed, the outlook and objectives of our Ruling Class in these court "rulings." While progressives upend, even destroy, our lives with their grand technocratic schemes, we are commanded to sit still, take it, and not fight back. So, what remedy then remains for the hapless citizen who is manhandled by some governmental invader who bursts into his home, without a warrant, in the dead of night? The Indiana court has given the rogue officer the legal right to do all this, then mock his victim by saying: "So, go ahead and sue me!"
I worry that these corruptions of our constitutional order are pushing the citizenry to the point of open defiance and rebellion. If our rights are no longer guaranteed and upheld by the courts, if we no longer have legal recourse address to these outrages, then what options still remain open to us?
The Ruling Class should be forewarned: Americans are not the kind of people who sit still, take it, and don't fight back.

It truly is amazing how fast children grow... For the past 6-8 weeks, Sylvia has been trying so hard to crawl, but has always been stuck in reverse. She would crawl all over the place, just backwards. You can tell in the following video that she is getting a little frustrated.
A little over a week ago, so fixed the transmission and found Drive. She has been getting better and better every day!
While I was in Weatherford, OK last week, Sylvia even started pulling herself up on things. It is definitely time to do some baby-proofing. While I haven't caught this on camera yet, her arsenal of tricks are growing at an astounding rate.
We fixed the transmission!

Spring Time Fun
We took advantage of the nice weather last Friday to snap some shots of Sylvia outside.
She was sitting on the lawn out front and didn't really know what to thing about the grass. The leaves however, made for a tasty treat! (OK, she didn't eat any of them, but she sure wanted to)

9 Month Wellness Check
Sylvia had her 9 month wellness checkup last Monday. Everything was good health wise and she is still growing at a reasonable pace.
If you remember back to a much earlier post (when she was 9 days old) we had extrapolated her weight based on her birth weight and her 9 day old weight. Based on that, she would weigh 468 pounds on her 18th B-Day.
With a few more data points, I recalculated her projected height and weight. Now, based on new data, Sylvia will weigh 210 pounds and be just over 14 feet tall on her 18th birthday! That is one tall kid!
Weight: 15 lb, 12 oz (5th %)
Length: 27.25 in (50th %)
Head: 17 in (25th %)
She has been a very active kid lately. She figured out the forward crawling thing about 10 days ago, now she is pulling herself up on things. Because of these new developments, the baby-proofing is now #1 on the list of things to do. Also, Sylvia is no longer a vegetarian. The Dr. gave the go-ahead to start feeding Sylvia table foods. Her first meal - Rotisserie Chicken. She absolutely loves the moist chicken breast. She picks it up, rips the small pieces into smaller pieces and then eats them. It is pretty cool to watch.
Action videos are on the way...

Happy Easter!
We are not sure if she likes the egg or the peanut butter cup better?
It almost looks like she is crawling, but she hasn't quite figured out how to go forward yet. She can go backwords and in cirlces. We were hoping that the eggs would be enough motivation, but today wasn't the day.
Ben and Bonnie made her a great Easter basket. I think everyone in the house except Lucy has enjoyed it.

RIAA Can't Figure Out Google's Takedown Tools; Blames Google
from the pebkac deptWith the release of Google's copyright transparency report recently, which helped highlight some astoundingly stupid DMCA takedown notices -- including a few from the RIAA -- you just knew the RIAA would have to lash out in response. But the question was what angle would it take. Now we know: it's simply making things up.
The RIAA put up a blog post in which it listed out "five facts" to attack Google's transparency report claims. Except, this is RIAA math. If you actually read the "facts" you realize they're basically two points repeated over and over again: (1) Google limits how many searches they can do to find infringing material. (2) Google limits how many infringing domains it can report via its Webmaster tools.
There's a big problem with both of those claims (beyond the fact that "two" does not equal "five"). It's that neither "fact" appears to be really accurate. Google does have some tools that limit crawlers from automated searches, and perhaps the RIAA has been using such tools to try to find infringement. That would certainly explain its decision to DMCA reviews from media sites of musicians, or official release videos from artists' own accounts. Of course, that would also subject the RIAA to claims of falsifying DMCA notices, since they have to swear that they have a good faith belief that there really is infringing material on those sites, and they can't do that if they don't actually look at them.
As for the limits on submissions, well, as Ars Technica points out the only "limit" appears to be how many URLs can be submitted in a single submission. That seems to be 1,000 per shot:
But there's no indication that you can't just go back and then list out the next 1,000. There may be a few other safeguards within a separate program that Google has with "trusted" partners, but even then it appears to just be how many URLs can be submitted in a single batch, rather than a total limit. In fact, as Google told SearchEngineLand, the RIAA is simply wrong, and there are no actual restrictions besides how many URLs can be submitted at once:
We have never imposed any limit on the number of DMCA notices that a copyright owner or reporting organization may send us, although we do have some technical safeguards in our trusted partner program (where submitters may be using automated mechanisms to send large volumes) as a safeguard against accidental flooding of the system.And if you need any more proof that the RIAA is completely full of it, you just need to look at Google's own transparency report, where it shows that Microsoft filed more than five times as many DMCA takedowns as the RIAA and NBC Universal filed twice as many:
It seems that even if there was "a limit", which there does not appear to be, then the RIAA is not coming anywhere close to that limit anyway.
In other words, we can sum up the RIAA's complaint about Google's copyright transparency report as being "the transparency report is wrong, because we're clueless about how to work your tools." Given the RIAA's general (lack of) understanding about technology, perhaps that's not too surprising. But it is amusing to see them so stringently and publicly display their ignorance.

Library of the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries was founded in 1930. The first scientists at the Institute personally took care of completing the library fund with the most important books on oceanography and fisheries. Intensive exchange of periodicals with other countries all over Europe and the world is coincidental with the beginning of the series Journal: Acta Adriatica (1932). In the Almanac for 1938, there were 116 title applications. Over the years the number of journal titles grew and has always been the most important segment of the library holdings well suited to the needs of scientists.

A.J. Pierzynski doesn't seem thrilled about the 'The Club':
"Apparently it's great for the organization," catcher A.J. Pierzynski said of the series that began Sunday night. "They're really proud of it, but I'm not going to put my TiVo on and make sure I watch it. I know about it. I know there have been cameras everywhere."
Unlike Major League Baseball-produced series on the Diamondbacks in 2002 and the Phillies' bullpen in 2009, players aren't the focus. "So it is what it is," Pierzynski said. "It's part of the game, and I hope it helps the organization and (Chairman) Jerry Reinsdorf. But other than that, I'm not going to sit down and watch it."
Gordon Beckham too:
"I probably don't want to watch," he said. "I'm probably on there a lot, probably being talked about how bad I was playing. I really don't have much desire to watch it, and I'm sure we'll hear about it if something does come out."
BTW, Reifert says CSN will air 'The Club' locally (Chicago).

MInor in Philosophy(18 Credit Hours)
The Philosophy Program offers a minor in the field to those students who desire a more fundamental appreciation for how philosophy is interconnected with law, medicine, business, the natural and human sciences in addition to those seeking personal enrichment. The Program emphasizes the development of critical thinking skills, which the discipline is uniquely positioned to offer, as well as ethics courses involving value studies applied to contemporary issues. The minor is designed to complement the students' major field of study and prepares the student for nearly every employment challenge requiring informed decision-making, critical thinking and assessment.
Faculty:, Emmett Bradbury Ph.D. (Northwestern University); Philip Cronce: Ph.D. (DePaul University); Paul Gomberg, Ph.D (Harvard University) and Ephraim "Das" Janssen, Ph.D. (Fordham University)
Required Courses
Please see current Chicago State University catalog.
Elective Courses - 9 Credit Hours
Completion of nine (9) additional credit hours in philosophy with the approval of the department. No courses will be accepted toward the minor below the grade of "C" and the minor must be completed prior to graduation.
Minor in Religious Studies - 18 Credit Hours
The College of Arts and Sciences offers a minor in Religious Studies through the Philosophy Department. It is multi-disciplinary, comparative, analytical, and cross-cultural in scope. Religion and religious experience are broadly construed as social, cultural, philosophical, and historical phenomenon that can be analyzed from the perspectives of several traditional disciplinary boundaries. This minor is intended to complement the student's major field of study and to provide opportunities for exploring religion and the spiritual dimension of existence.
Required Courses
Please see current Chicago State University catalog,
Substitutions will be considered for these requirements from among courses in other disciplines with the prior approval of the Philosophy Department and the Instructor involved. No courses will be accepted toward the minor below a grade of C and the minor must be completed prior to graduation.
To obtain a minor in philosophy, you are not required to go through the same procedures as you would when applying for a major. You need to complete 18 credit hours from the requirements listed above and you will need to declare the minor (Code #1251) along with your major in order for the minor to appear on your final academic transcript. However, the Philosophy Program does have an application for the minor if you want to receive a Certificate of completion from the program, if you want to receive advice from a philosophy professor about the philosophy course work which best suits your needs, if you want to learn about upcoming trends in the field or possible new course offerings, or if you just want to talk about anything philosophical! Remember, if you don't declare the minor in philosophy, it won't appear on your final transcript and if you don't fill out an application for the minor, you won't receive a Certificate of completion.
A general education assessment is conducted every semester for the following courses: Philosophy 203--Introduction to Ethics, Philosophy 204--Introduction to Logic, and Philosophy 221--Critical Thinking.
These courses are assessed as part of our institutional accreditation process. Dr. Ephriam Janssen is the General Education Assessment Coordinator for Philosophy

User:Paulo Coimbra
- Paulo is OWASP's Project Manager, answers directly to the OWASP Board and has been working closely with the OWASP Global Projects Committee (GPC) since this Committee has been formalized in November 2008. Paulo is currently working with a pool of more than 150 active OWASP projects.
- Paulo has begun working for OWASP in July 2007 assuming the Spring of Code closing process. In the beginning of 2008, he has become OWASP part-time employee assuming his current role. After completing his IELTS course, his status has changed again when in July 2008 he moved into a full-time position.
- As a Project Manager, Paulo is responsible for answering any requests concerning OWASP Projects that OWASP may receive from both its Project Leaders and wider community. He is the first and main point of contact for setting up new projects and for ensuring their progression throughout the assessment route which takes OWASP projects from Alpha status to Stable status.
- This process entails the permanent contact with the Project Leaders to gather information on any updates, new releases or new developments that are part of the Project's life cycle so that the Project page is always up to date and the wider community is informed of the progress made.
- Throughout this process, Paulo acts also as a liaison and point of contact between Project Leaders, potential contributors and future/potential Reviewers.
- Together with the GPC, Paulo is also responsible for safeguarding the Assessment Criteria under which OWASP Projects are developed and respective releases assessed – this implies ensuring that proposals for new Projects adhere to the rules established by the GPC and that every new project born within the OWASP universe has a set of initial information concurrent with the standard of quality that has allowed OWASP to be seen, over the years, as a respected and credible player in the industry.
- Throughout this entire process, Paulo must also take care of all the little tasks that are a significant part of it – some of them are creating the Project's wiki page, setting email addresses and project's mailing lists, uploading files, providing support and guidance regarding the edition of wiki pages.
- Paulo also contributes in the definition of the Global Projects Committee policies, the creation of frameworks for implementing Seasons of Code, the conceptualization of Training models, etc. Additionally he has also contributed to operationalize OWASP's internal processes e.g. the OWASP Summit Concept, the methodology to apply for an OWASP Committee's position or the templates to run Working Sessions etc.
A few of his OWASP's heterogeneous contributions are as follows:
- OWASP Spring of Code 2007,
- OWASP Summer of Code 2008,

- OWASP 'Project About' Templates,
- OWASP Projects Dashboard and OWASP Projects Dashboard 2.0
- OWASP Project Reviewers Database,
- OWASP Training,

STANDARD SPOILER WARNING: I'll be discussing some very specific plot points that the average man on the street – at least the one reading comics – might consider spoilers. You've been severely warned!
Now that the disclaimer's been taken care of, let's take out our Walking Dead #88 and open it at page 9.
Following a miraculous recovery, Carl has woken up from his brief coma induced by a gunshot wound to the head (#86). Partial amnesia seemed to have settled in (#87), robbing him of the memory of his mother's death. At the start of the scene, his father Rick has been backed into a corner and forced into finally telling him the tragic news. This is supposed to be the big emotional moment that was building up since last issue's cliffhanger.
Kirkman judiciously leaves a silent panel before Rick's reply and Charlie Adlard puctuates the moment further by depicting this scene in half silhouette. We go on with a close-up of Rick's face as he finally speaks:
This is the end of page 9 so we have to turn the page to see how the scene unfurls. For all we know, Kirkman is about to pull the rug from under us and switch to a new scene, but no: we go on with the exchange, except that it's not quite the storm that was announced by the massing clouds.
The conversation that takes place in the following two pages is quite a blow for Rick: Carl is dealing a little too well with the death of his mother and sister. In fact, he seems so unaffected, that it's scaring both us and Rick. Astute readers will understand that what's going on under all of that dialogue is that Rick's very fresh dread of losing his son is resurfacing with a vengeance. He barely got past the idea of him not surviving the bullet to the brain, and now he has to face this alien Carl, a person he's recognizing less and less as he sits there at the edge of the bed.
Let's not forget that the central idea of THE WALKING DEAD is how fragile our humanity is when we're faced with the ultimate horror of a zombie apocalypse. The most shocking developments in the series haven't been tied so much to the many deaths, but rather to how low the survivors could sink as the world burned around them. You have the Governor's cruelty, the hunters' cannibalism and that very chilling idea of a budding serial killer in the midst of Rick's group. Rick himself has slipped down the slope more than a couple of times, but he's always had Carl to help him climb back up again.
With Carl's humanity now called into question, where's the anchor for Rick's morality?
Of course, Robert Kirkman wisely leaves all of this in the white spaces between the lines of text. It's easy in comics to put it all in the open because comics are an essentially visual medium. Thus, we tend to forget as writers the old adage "Show, don't tell". We want to get it all out there, hoping that the readers will marvel at our deep meaningful character psychology and appreciate the cleverness of our not so subtle subtext.
We want to dazzle, we want to impress and by doing so, we achieve the opposite effect.
So here's the lesson I learned from Kirman's latest work: let the characters say what they can, not what they mean. Resist the temptation to lay bare what you want the comic to say, and let the characters themselves speak according to the circumstances in which you put them. If you can master the art of saying everything you want to say without actually spelling it out in whole, you'll have made a great step forward in your writing.
Witness this tidbit of wisdom in practice as Kirman brings the curtain down on the scene. Before a dumbfounded Rick can question him further, Carl brings the discussing to a close.
The answer is in its own panel, a superb close-up of Rick's face showing just how shaken he is over the whole exchange – wide perplexed eyes and a single word:
And in that word, there are volumes being spoken.

US Treasury bills rise at weekly auction
Interest rates on short-term Treasury bills rose in Monday's auction with rates on three-month Treasury bills rising to the highest level in two years.
The Treasury Department auctioned $35 billion in three-month bills at a discount rate of 0.125 percent, up from 0.115 percent last week. Another $30 billion in six-month bills was auctioned at a discount rate of 0.135 percent, up from 0.130 percent last week.
The three-month rate was the highest since three-month bills averaged 0.145 percent on Feb. 28, 2011. The six-month rate was the highest since those bills averaged 0.140 percent on Dec. 3.
The discount rates reflect that the bills sell for less than face value. For a $10,000 bill, the three-month price was $9,996.84 while a six-month bill sold for $9,993.18. That would equal an annualized rate of 0.127 percent for the three-month bills and 0.137 percent for the six-month bills.
Separately the Federal Reserve said Monday that the average yield for one-year Treasury bills, a popular index for making changes in adjustable rate mortgages, rose to 0.17 percent last week from 0.15 percent the previous week.

Inside look at a billionaire's budget / Larry Ellison's spending worries his accountant
Even billionaires need to budget.
That's the message delivered to Oracle Corp. founder Larry Ellison, one of the world's richest men, by his personal financial adviser in a series of e-mails obtained by The Chronicle.
In the e-mails, which stem from a recent shareholder lawsuit against the technology titan, Ellison's accountant, Philip Simon, warns the billionaire about his habitual runaway spending. Like a concerned parent, Simon chides Ellison for overextending himself on a new yacht, on his America's Cup team and on his new houses in Woodside and Malibu.
"I'm worried, Larry ..." Simon wrote to Ellison in a 2002 e-mail. "I think it's imperative that we start to budget and plan."
According to documents unsealed by a judge in the shareholder lawsuit, Ellison habitually pushes his credit limit of more than a billion dollars to its maximum to finance his yachts and homes. And that's not even counting some $20 million a year he burns through in miscellaneous lifestyle expenses.
Of course, there's no question that Ellison, 62, is good for the loans. Forbes' famous list of wealthy people says the maverick entrepreneur is the nation's fifth richest individual, worth $17 billion, mostly in Oracle stock. Still, Ellison's spending and his reluctance to part with Oracle shares have caused his financial adviser fits of anxiety, the documents show.
Simon expressed concern that Ellison would follow in the footsteps of wealthy entrepreneurs who ran into hard times in their personal or business finances, people like Carl's Jr. founder Carl Karcher and Computer Associates founder Charles Wang.
Simon went so far as to write, "I don't want you to end up like ... Bernie Ebbers, and the countless others." Ebbers, the former WorldCom CEO, famously borrowed heavily against his own stock holdings, ultimately resigning in disgrace before being charged with and convicted of securities fraud. Ebbers is serving 25 years in federal prison.
The lawsuit that revealed these communications was a shareholder action that accused Ellison of acting on insider information when he sold more than 29 million Oracles shares in January 2001, just weeks before Oracle issued a disappointing earnings statement and the stock plummeted.
Ellison generated nearly $900 million with that sale, making his 2001 income more than any other executive had ever taken in during a single year, the Washington, D.C., think tank Institute for Policy Studies disclosed.
The suit was settled in November in San Mateo Superior Court -- Ellison agreed to donate $100 million to charity and pay $22 million to lawyers out of his own pocket -- but the settlement is being appealed by a shareholder.
In court depositions, Ellison argued that he had sold the shares not because he thought Oracle's stock would soon decline in price but because Simon had been pressuring him to unload some of his vast company holdings. For instance, in a 2000 e-mail, Simon urged Ellison to "take some money off the table" because the adviser said he had grown increasingly concerned.
Simon did not return an e-mail from The Chronicle regarding this story. An Oracle spokesman offered no comment.
The personal e-mails and other documents originally were filed under seal as confidential, but San Mateo County Superior Court Judge John Schwartz unsealed them in November.
A holding pattern
So how could someone with $17 billion cause his accountant to worry about running low on cash? Ellison, who identifies strongly with the company he founded in 1977, has been famously unwilling to sell Oracle shares over the years.
Instead of selling them, he has financed his lavish lifestyle -- the 23-acre Japanese-style estate in Woodside, the yachts, the airplanes, the Armani suits -- by borrowing against his stock.
"I know this e-mail may/will depress you," Simon wrote in a 2002 note about diversification. "However, I believe it's my job to address issues you'd prefer not to confront. You told me years ago that it's OK to raise the 'diversification issue' with you quarterly. ... Well, I'm doing so. View this as a call to arms."
This wasn't the first time Simon had sounded the alarm. In 2001, Ellison's spending was on an upswing, and his debt level was increasing rapidly, Simon said in a 2004 deposition.
Simon tried to explain to Ellison the seriousness of his debt, saying, "We have a freight train going down a track, hitting a debt wall," he said in the deposition.
Ellison apparently didn't view his way of operating as risky. Court documents quote him as pointing out that his net worth was always at least 10 times his debt.
But financial experts agree that borrowing against stock holdings isn't generally accepted as a good way to operate.
"If you were to look in the textbook for how a financial plan should work, this would be in chapter one under, 'Never do this,' " said Cynthia Harrington, a former money manager who now writes about finance for journals and magazines.
The danger is that if Oracle's stock value drops steeply, the banks could call in their loans, forcing Ellison to sell masses of stock at bargain-basement prices to cover them.
Ellison has already found himself facing a situation like that. In 1990, Oracle ran into hard times, and its stock fell to $5 a share, causing big cash flow problems, recalls Nicola Miner, the daughter of Oracle co-founder Bob Miner, in the biography, "The Difference Between God and Larry Ellison," by Mike Wilson. (The famous subtitle to the book is: "God doesn't think he's Larry Ellison.")
At that time, Ellison managed to avoid having to sell his Oracle shares cheaply by selling nearly $3 million worth of shares he owned in another company, Cadence Design Systems, and by arranging a line of credit with securities firm Morgan Stanley.
Then again, Ellison owns so much stock that the value would have to decline pretty severely before banks would ever consider calling in his loans, Harrington said.
Simon's comparison to WorldCom founder Ebbers is apt, though certainly not in a criminal sense. Ebbers, too, financed lavish spending by borrowing against his WorldCom shares. When they declined in price and his loans were called in, he turned to borrowing heavily from the company itself, and when he resigned in 2002, shortly before Simon wrote the e-mail mentioning him, he owed WorldCom $408 million.
Ellison, by contrast, has not borrowed from Oracle but from a number of banks.
As risky as it can be, Santa Clara University finance Professor Meir Statman said it is not uncommon for senior executives to borrow against their stock to avoid parting with it.
Statman studies behavioral finance, which examines how people often make financial moves based on emotional perceptions instead of rationally following the path that maximizes income.
"It is really a sense of, 'I know this company better than others do,' and, second, 'The entire world is not appreciating my company as it should be appreciated,' " Statman said.
Indeed, even when Simon persuaded Ellison to sell shares of Oracle in 2001, Ellison set a price floor of $30, below which he felt the stock would be undervalued.
Oracle shares fell to $16.88 in March of that year after Oracle warned that its third-quarter profit would not meet market expectations.
Big risk, bigger spending
Oracle and other tech companies were headed for further declines. This is something Simon, if not Ellison, saw coming. As the stock market ran to a fever pitch in 2000, Ellison's undiversified portfolio increasingly worried Simon.
"Query -- have you seen the reviews on Robert Shiller's new book 'Irrational Exuberance?' " Simon wrote in a March 29, 2000, e-mail urging Ellison to start a sales program that would divest him of 0.5 percent of his Oracle stock each quarter.
As usual, that didn't result in a big change in Ellison's behavior. The CEO finally did start a regular diversification program, but not until 2004. In his most recent sale through this plan, Ellison sold more than a quarter of a billion dollars worth of stock earlier this month.
Getting back to the scary days of 2000, when the tech stock market was imploding, a list of Ellison's debts as of July 13, 2000, showed that he owed $1.022 billion to five banks: JP Morgan, Bankers Trust, CMB, Merrill Lynch and UBS. At that time, those loans came from credit lines that had a combined limit of $1.35 billion, putting Ellison a mere $328 million from maxing out.
By 2001, when Ellison made the stock sales that triggered the lawsuit, that debt was up to $1.22 billion.
At the bottom of a document that detailed Ellison's 2000 debt load, Simon had scrawled a rough accounting of Ellison's lavish spending, according to deposition testimony:
"1) Life Style -- annual $20m
2) Interest Accrual -- annual $75m
3) Villa in Japan -- $25m
4) New Yacht -- $194m -- over 3 yrs
5) America's Cup -- $80m -- over 3 yrs
6) UAD -- 12m over 3 yrs."
It's not clear what UAD refers to. Since this rough budget, Ellison has reportedly spent $200 million building a Japanese-style estate in Woodside, which includes a reproduction of a 17th-century Kyoto teahouse. He has also bought multiple properties in Malibu -- $180 million worth, by one report.
Where does it all go?
Ellison's charitable giving also caught his accountant's eye.
Although Ellison's generosity to charity does not rival that of richest American Bill Gates, Ellison's giving seemed to give Simon ulcers, as well. In the 2002 e-mail, Simon frets that the Ellison Medical Foundation's leaders believed Ellison would support increasing its budget to $100 million a year from $35 million annually.
"$100 million is a lot of money ..." Simon wrote. "There's nothing wrong with keeping the (foundation) budget at $35M/year ... or even reducing it in a sensible manner."
And when Oracle executive Safra Catz mentioned in a 2000 e-mail that Ellison might want to donate $1 billion worth of expiring stock options to charity, Simon seemed shaken.
"I had no idea that Larry was even considering donating $1.0bn to charity. Such a large amount."
When asked in a deposition about considering a $1 billion gift, Ellison said he vaguely remembered discussing this with Catz, but nothing came of it.
The documents obtained by The Chronicle certainly show that Ellison did not break any laws, but some experts say they are a symptom of an economy with larger and larger gaps between haves and have-nots.
Sarah Anderson, director of the global economy project at the Institute for Policy Studies, said the details of Ellison's spending shows "how different these peoples' realities are. You have to wonder how much they can connect with the people who work for them and the people they're serving with their business."
Early warning
Larry Ellison's financial adviser, Philip Simon, encouraged the Oracle founder to sell his company's shares when the stock market got soft in March of 2000. Simon wrote March 29, 2000:
"Dear Larry. ... "
"I'm getting increasingly concerned about stock market valuations (query -- have you seen the reviews on Robert Shiller's new book "Irrational Exuberance?") -- and believe this would be a good time to take some money off the table. ... I'd just like to start cashing out."
High anxiety
In an e-mail to Ellison dated May 3, 2002, Simon expresses grave concerns about the Oracle founder's spending.
"I'm worried, Larry. ... I know you view me as a pessimist. Maybe you're right, though I would disagree. Nonetheless, I think it's imperative that we start to budget and plan. New purchases should be kept to a minimum. We need to establish and execute on a diversification game plan, to eliminate (yes, eliminate) all debt and build up a significant, conservatively structured, liquid investment portfolio. If this means sacrificing 30% of your current holdings in Oracle, so be it. With stock options and Oracle's share repurchases, your ownership percentage has been increasing somewhat over the last year or two."
"I do not want you to end up like Carl Karcher, Wang, Bernie Ebbers, and the countless others. Yes, Oracle's a different company; no debt, real cash earnings, clean accounting. But, when the pendulum swings the other way, it can overshoot. PE multiples are driven by market (or should I say, mob) psychology. There's no science or logic in the short or medium term. "
"I know you don't like to discuss this. I know this e-mail may/will depress you. However, I believe it's my job to address issues you'd prefer not to confront. You told me years ago that it's OK to raise the 'diversification issue' with you quarterly. Well, I'm doing so. View this as a call to arms."


text: The Roxbury Carpet Company was a Massachusetts woolen manufacturer established in 1859. It later acquired two other woolen mills, the Saxonville Mills and the New England Worsted Company, both in Saxonville, Massachusetts. The majority of factory workers in all of the factories were women. Payroll records show that most mill departments were segregated by gender. For instance, in the New England Worsted Mill in 1841 to 1843, all the workers in the wool room, knitting room, and weaving room were women except for one man in each room, presumably the foreman. In the spinning and fulling rooms all the workers were men. Payroll books for all the mills include signed wage receipts.

Stevan Ridley and Brandon Bolden shared the backfield spotlight when the Patriots played the Bills earlier this season. Yesterday, it was Danny Woodhead's turn to step to the forefront against Buffalo. Woodhead caught a touchdown pass and rushed for another score in the Patriots' 37-31 win at Gillette Stadium.
Stevan Ridley and Brandon Bolden shared the backfield spotlight when the Patriots played the Bills earlier this season. Yesterday, it was Danny Woodhead's turn to step to the forefront against Buffalo.
Woodhead caught a touchdown pass and rushed for another score in the Patriots' 37-31 win at Gillette Stadium.
"Phenomenal, man," Ridley said. "He's the leader in our room. He does it all. He runs well. He catches it well. He's a threat for the defenses. They've got to find the little short guy out there somewhere, but most of the time he's making plays and it's too late."
It was the first multiple-touchdown game of Woodhead's career.
"It's a pretty good day because we got the 'W'," Woodhead said. "That's really the only thing that matters."
Woodhead's only carry of the day resulted in a 15-yard touchdown run that put the Patriots up, 17-3, with 5:51 left in the first half. Quarterback Tom Brady connected with Woodhead on completions of 15 and 7 yards to set up the score.
It was Woodhead's second rushing TD of the season.
"I just tried to run off of what I saw and I saw some very good blocks," Woodhead said. "The line did a great job, the wide receivers, the tight ends. They just had me run. That's all they ask me to do, so I'm just going to do that to the best of my ability."
In the Patriots' 52-28 win over the Bills in September, Ridley and Bolden combined for 243 yards, marking the first time the Patriots had two 100-yard rushers in the same game in more than three decades. New England managed 117 yards on the ground yesterday. Ridley carried 22 times for 98 yards.
Brady targeted Woodhead six times and he finished with four catches for 46 yards, among them an 18-yard TD grab midway through the third quarter
"Whatever the coaches ask me to do, I'm going to do," Woodhead said. "If it's blocking, if it's playing special teams, if it's running or catching. I'm a football player and that's what I try to be is a football player and to do whatever I'm supposed to do on a particular play to the best of my abilities."
Wide receiver Deion Branch had his busiest day of the season with four catches for 30 yards.
Branch was among the final cuts coming out of training camp, but the Patriots re-signed the 11-year veteran before the third game of the season.
His limited role on offense produced just five receptions for 50 yards in his previous six games.
Brady completed two throws to Branch on the Patriots' first drive and went to him a third time on third-and-seven from the Buffalo 25, but the ball went through Branch's hands and was almost picked off by Bills corner Leodis McKelvin.
"I dropped it, that's it," Branch said. "That could have led to a potential touchdown."
The Patriots instead kicked a field goal.
They also settled for three points late in the fourth quarter, after failing to punch it in from the 2-yard line.
"It was a weird game," Branch said. "There are going to be games like this you have to just push and fight through. We're a lot better than we put out on the football field today. Buffalo is a great team, but at the same time, we didn't put a great game out on the field. We did just enough to get a victory."
At halftime, the Patriots recognized former running back Kevin Faulk, who announced his retirement last month. Faulk played all 13 seasons of his career with the Patriots and was part of their three Super Bowl championship teams.
"It was so gratifying," Faulk said. "I heard from fans, got Twitter comments and got to meet people who knew who and what I was as a football player and that really made me feel good. Today culminated all of that together."
Faulk finished his career as the Patriots' all-time leader in all-purpose yards, return yards and kick return yards.
Faulk missed most of the 2010 season after tearing his ACL early in the year. He said that experience helped prepare him for the ultimate end of his career. Faulk played a limited role last season and was inactive for the Super Bowl. He became a free agent at season's end.
"At some point in time you knew it was going to come to an end," Faulk said, "and a couple years ago it almost was the end. You had time to reminisce and understand where you were as a football player."
Congratulations to Caylie McMahon of Stow for winning her age group (girls 10-11) in yesterday's NFL Punt, Pass and Kick competition. New England Patriots team championship winners' scores will be compared to those from the 31 other team championships to determine qualification for the national competition. Patrick Pacios of Northboro was a finalist in his age group (boys 6-7). … In recognition of Veterans Day, the Patriots honored veterans and active duty military members before and during the game.

BUFFALO, NEW YORK – 21 Apr, 2017 – OnCore Golf announced this week that Al Geiberger, the first ever PGA player to shoot a 59 in competition, will be representing OnCore Golf at the Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf event at Big Cedar Lodge this week. The eleven-time PGA Tour winner will be playing OnCore Golf's recently-launched tour ball, the ELIXR.
"We are thrilled to announce that Al will be representing OnCore Golf in the upcoming Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf tournament in Missouri" stated Brian McGahey, OnCore's Director of Player Development.

Geiberger became a fan of OnCore after his first experience with the ELIXR just three weeks ago. "Over the past 60 years, I've played a lot of golf balls.

Reinforcing that view, OnCore Golf was recently notified by Golf Digest that the ELIXR has earned a spot on the 2017 Hot List: Best New Golf Balls competition. Golf Digest tested nearly 33,000 balls and narrowed the competition down to 10 finalists in their respective categories.

Accreditation Process Overview 2007
Accreditation in Higher Education
Accreditation has evolved into a valuable attribute of institutions in higher education during the last century. Accreditation is a voluntary process in which the primary purposes are quality assurance and institutional and program improvement. The accreditation of an institution assures the public that its formal educational activities, governance and administration, financial stability, admissions and student personnel services, resources, student academic achievement, organizational effectiveness and relationships with outside constituencies have been assessed and evaluated by an external entity. UIS is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (HLC-NCA).
HLC-NCA Accreditation Process
Our accreditation process by the HLC-NCA involves:
- A 10-year cycle
- A self-study exercise that evaluates how well the institution meets the criteria for accreditation;
- Preparation and submission of a self-study report; and
- An on-site visit by peer evaluators who review the claims and evidence of the self-study report (October 2007).
HLC-NCA Criteria for Accreditation
- Criterion One – Mission and IntegrityThe organization operates with integrity to ensure the fulfillment of its mission through structures and processes that involve the board, administration, faculty, staff, and students.
- Criterion Two – Preparing for the Future
The organization's allocation of resources and its processes for evaluation and planning demonstrate its capacity to fulfill its mission, improve the quality of its education, and respond to future challenges and opportunities.
- Criterion Three – Student Learning and Effective Teaching
The organization provides evidence of student learning and teaching effectiveness that demonstrates it is fulfilling its educational mission.
- Criterion Four – Acquisition, Discovery and Application of KnowledgeThe organization promotes a life of learning for its faculty administration, staff and students by fostering and supporting inquiry, creativity, practice, and social responsibility in ways consistent with its mission.
- Criterion Five – Engagement and Service
As called for by its mission, the organization identifies its constituencies and serves them in ways that both the organization and the constituencies value.

Deer Valley High basketball star Marcus Lee will announce his college decision Wednesday morning at the school, Wolverines coach LeChet Phillips said Tuesday.
Lee, a 6-foot-9, 205-pound forward, is rated as a five-star recruit and the 15th-best prospect in the class of 2013 by www.rivals.com.
Lee had narrowed his list to Cal and Kentucky and was supposed to take an official visit to Berkeley this Saturday for Big Game weekend. However, he visited Kentucky last weekend, attending the school's "Big Blue Madness" and came away impressed.
Lee tweeted a photo of Kentucky's practice facility and wrote, "No filter can make it any better. It's just perfect."
Lee averaged 13.9 points, 13.9 rebounds and 9.1 blocks per game during the 2011-12 season, as the Wolverines finished 22-9, won the Bay Valley Athletic League and advanced to the North Coast Section Division I championship game. Lee was named the BVAL's Co-Most Valuable Player.

California d. San Ramon Valley: The Grizzlies served notice that the East Bay Athletic League crown will run through them as they beat the Wolves in three games, 25-19, 25-17, 25-23.
The win gives California (21-3, 8-1 EBAL) essentially a two-game lead over the Wolves (19-8, 7-2), having beat them twice in league play. Each team has five league matches left.
This time around the Grizzlies won in three games after winning in four last time. California trailed 19-12 in the third game before rallying for a 22-20 lead and holding on.
"I don't want to say it was a statement game, because it's any given day in this league," California coach Todd Baham said. "We still give teams too many chances, but something lit a fire under them in that third game."
California relied heavily on Santa Clara-bound outside hitter Sabrina Clayton.
She finished with 25 kills in the three games, including 10 in the first game as California set the tone early by scoring the game's final six points.
"They have a fantastic outside hitter, and they are a really good team," San Ramon Valley coach Brian Fujinaga said. "We just didn't execute. We had chances, and we didn't execute when we had opportunities."
San Ramon Valley's Emily Reder finished with a team-high 18 kills.
