PITTSBURGH -- Antonio Brown stood at midfield, hands on hips and mouth agape, and stared toward the south end zone at Heinz Field, where a replay of the game's final play was flashing across the video board.
Brown saw it, his tiny misstep, and turned away, shaking his head.
It was an ending so zany it nearly defies explanation.
"I was in shock, really," Dolphins tailback Daniel Thomas said.
"I was thinking, no, this can't be happening," cornerback Brent Grimes said.
"I was just in disbelief," Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said.
The simple version is this: With one second on the clock, Roethlisberger took a snap from his own 20-yard line trailing 34-28. He completed a pass, but Pittsburgh's comeback attempt fell short, ending at the Miami 12-yard line.
The full version tells a far better story.
Roethlisberger's pass went 20 yards downfield to Emmanuel Sanders, and thus began a high-stakes game of Hot Potato. In quick succession along the home sideline, Sanders pitched to Jerricho Cotchery and Cotchery pitched to Le'Veon Bell.
Bell lofted a backward pass to Marcus Gilbert, an offensive tackle, who rumbled for two yards and pitched back to Roethlisberger. As he was being hauled down, the quarterback made a desperation heave across (or was it? It appeared to be an illegal forward lateral) to Brown.
Now, after five laterals and a full 16 seconds after the original snap, Brown slipped past a defender and sprinted up the visitor sideline. He blew past Reshad Jones at midfield and there was only man between Brown and an inconceivable game-winning touchdown.
Chris Clemons, a fifth-year safety, was that last man.
"The whole time, my heart was going crazy," Clemons said in the locker room, drumming his chest in a speedy rhythm.
Clemons forced Brown toward the sideline, but a diving attempt at Brown's ankles left him grasping at air. Clemons buried his facemask into the turf; Brown galloped into the end zone and the crowd of 52,489 whipped into a frenzied euphoria.
But the side judge didn't hesitate for a moment. The official who had followed Brown the length of the field immediately blew his whistle and waved his arms. Brown had stepped out of bounds at the 12-yard line, his left foot extended no more than an inch over the white line.
"Oh man, I was relieved," Clemons said.
"I thought I had it clean," Brown said.
Grimes, the first player Brown had slipped past, was giddy in the locker room.
"I don't care how you do it — win by 60, or win at the last snap," Grimes said. "It's a win, and that's all that counts."
Thomas said the finish reminded him of Alabama's last-second loss to Auburn two weeks ago, when the Tigers returned a missed field goal at the end of regulation for a game-winning touchdown.
That comparison might actually have been more apt for the end of the first half — another wild turn of events.
With 21 seconds left in the half, Dolphins kicker Cody Sturgis left a 52-yard field goal attempt short.
Steelers safety Troy Polamalu caught the ball 8 yards deep in the end zone and started back the other way. He ran into traffic and the ball pitched back to lineman Steve McClendon, who handed off to cornerback Ike Taylor.
It took a touchdown-saving tackle by defensive end Derrick Shelby to keep Taylor out of the end zone.
In game nearly impossible to explain, Dolphins defensive end Jared Odrick provided a proper summation of the finish.
"It was a ridiculous play," Odrick said. "I'm just glad we won."

I've been spending a lot of time with my teenager lately. With over 20 years of age separating us, I find only a few times where it seems challenging to smile with her. Today and lately, we've really been talking. I'm sure many of you know this, but I'll say it anyway, I think the best way to really get to know your teen or spend time with them is to have an interest in what they love. I think this naturally falls into place for many of us, but for those of us it doesn't, please give it a try and try again and continue trying until you find a meeting place.
With us, it's volleyball. I've taken interest in one of her loves and with this, I'm practicing with her, taking her to her team practices, coaching her on occasion and spending more time than usual just talking. I'm getting a chance to listen to her favorite music on our way to practices and now she gets to the point where she'll quiz me on band names. Trust me, I usually suck at this, but today, I actually remembered one! Yeah! Best of all, I get to really converse with her.
Today and more so lately with volleyball, I've been able to see her mannerisms and the effect she has on others. I've been talking with her about the positives and at the same time, I've been speaking with her about things she could improve on. I'm hoping that by the time she's off on her own, she'll be even just a little wiser about the impact she has on others whether by words or actions. We all have this ability whether we choose to acknowledge this or not. It's what we do with how we behave and what we say; it's all that, that makes us who we are and how we are perceived. For her, I'm hoping she will be perceived as someone who genuinely has an interest in others around her; and with this, she'll be a positive influence on her friends, family, and she'll send a message she cares.

YAKIMA, Wash. - The Yakima County Sheriff's Office says two people face assault, theft, and eluding charges after trying to hit a deputy in a stolen truck.
Deputies say they tried to stop the stolen Dodge in Yakima Tuesday night, but instead the two men led deputies on a high speed chase into Union Gap.
The Sheriff's Office says the drivers drove past a dead end onto private property, but when the deputy got out of the patrol car, the men tried to back into him.
The deputy fired one round at the truck but the men drove off. Deputies arrested them a few minutes later when the truck crashed down the street.
No one got hurt throughout the ordeal.

Literary Magazine Reviews
Edited by Denise Hill
Posted July 30, 2005
AGNI Magazine
Volume 61
Perhaps the best editors are prescient, equipped with a literary sixth sense that allows them to provide readers with apt reflections at the right moment. So it was that I found myself clipping an article on the necessity of craft in memoir (as opposed to mere emotional regurgitation) by the current editor of AGNI, Sven Birkerts, out of a recent issue of Poets & Writers even as I was reading it, so exactly did it articulate thoughts I'd been having. A similar sensation attended my reading of an essay by AGNI's founding editor, Askold Melnyczuk, in the current issue of the magazine. Seventy pages earlier, I'd been reading Ben Miller's "Romancing the Dankerts" and reflecting on what it was about his prose that made it dense and stunningly lyric, lush in a way that made me want to taste it (and all this in piece ostensibly about trash and trashy neighbors who object to the trash!). And then there was Melnyczuk, ruminating on the same question: "I'm curious about why certain sentences read quickly, why others force us to slow down..." and quoting Susan Sontag: "Every style is a means of insisting on something." I must insist that editors of this ilk are the reason AGNI consistently dazzles. Volume 61 is no different; I starred so many pieces as worth mentioning that I can't mention them all. Birkerts may begin this issue by lamenting that with Sontag's death, he lost his "ideal reader," the person he felt he was editing for, even if she'd never seen a copy of the magazine, but I have a feeling that even without her guiding presence, AGNI will continue to deliver what readers are looking for–even if they don't know it yet.

The Antioch Review
"Yin/Yang: Duets and Opposites"
Volume 63 Number 2
Spring 2005
In its 63rd year, The Antioch Review is still a benchmark. Robert S.Fogarty's editorial quote from Claude Levi-Straus identifies its theme as, "the search for unsuspected harmonies." In the lead essay—of seven solid essays—Daniel Bell's "Ethics and Evil: Frameworks for Twenty-First-Century Culture" asks: "How do we contain wars of faith, and the spread of potent ideologies while giving people an anchorage for their lives?" while Alan Cheuse's ''Reflections on Dialogue: How d'yuh get t'Eighteent' Avenoo and Sixty-Sevent' Street?" addresses the question of the narrator in "And God said let there be light, and there was light [. . .]" while tracing the origins of speech and story. Iraj Isaac Rahmim's autobiographical "Sacrifices" defines poverty: "[. . .] being poor as a student is not being poor at all; it is simply getting an education." Work from eleven fine poets (among them: Neil Azevedo, Michael Demos, and Marilyn Nelson) is included and in "Poetry Today," John Taylor concludes his review of Giuseppe Ungaretti's Selected Poems and Giorgio Caproni's The Earth's Wall: Selected Poems 1932-1986 with poetry of his own: "[. . . ] intimations of citadels looming there above us, even as we pass below the ramparts [. . .]." "Sayings of Confucius" by Christopher Torockio will turn up in BASS if my vote counts. "The Hardest Thing" by Rebecca Kavaler and Jennifer Moses's "You've Told Me Before," deal effectively with difficult aging parents. "Last Night's Excitement," by Zdravka Evtimova, visits a society where no one dies. In all respects a stellar issue. [The Antioch Review, Antioch University, 150 E. South Chicago St., Yellow Springs, Ohio 45387. E-mail: email@example.com. Single issue $8. www.review.antioch.edu] – Anna Sidak
boundary 2
Volume 32 Number 1
Spring 2005
boundary 2 is a serious journal—with cover art by Theodore A. Harris titled "On the Throne of Fire after Somebody Blew Up America (for Amiri Baraka)." Among its ten essays, Miguel Tamen's "My Taste," employs the writings of Kant and Hume to explore the mystery of "good taste;"—and Bruno Latour's "What is Given in Experience?" is a perceptive review of Isabelle Stengers's study of Alfred North Whitehead: Penser avec Whitehead: Une libre et sauvage creation de concepts. Donald E. Pease's fascinating "Hawthorne in the Custom-House: the Metapolitics, Postpolitics, and Politics of The Scarlet Letter," describes Hawthorne's reaction to the embroidered bit of cloth found in the customs-house prior to the loss of his position: "[. . .] his desire for an authorized social position paradoxically embodied itself in this peculiar artifact [. . .]" In an immediately comprehensible article about teaching methods in India—"Use and Abuse of Human Rights," by Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak—ironically, this statement: "I am often reprimanded for writing incomprehensively." I'll return to this journal based on the following statement: "The editors of boundary 2 announce that they no longer intend to publish in the standard professional areas, but only materials that identify and analyze the tyrannies of thought and action spreading around the world and that suggest alternatives to these emerging configurations of power. To this end, we wish to inform our readers that, until further notice, the journal will not accept unsolicited manuscripts." (Is there an inherent contradiction in that stance?)

"An Anatomy of Roads: The Quest Issue"
This beautifully bound, map-wrapped volume is a treasure of outstanding short stories and poetry with new work by familiar names as well as lesser known. The quest theme applies to almost anything, as editor Bradford Morrow acknowledges, having summoned the timeless Robert Coover ("Dragons have no sense of time [. . .]," from "Sir John Paper Returns to Honah-Lee,"), William Gas, ("The Piano Lesson," and a great deal more), and John Barth's forgiven archness in "I've been Told: A Story's Story," as well as Paul West's "Slow Mergers of Local Stars" (it is not enough to simply kill a lion), and Joyce Carol Oates's "The Gravedigger's Daughter" – a mother and child on the lam. Carole Maso's brilliant "Young H Saved from Infamy": "[. . .] young H is among those who have gained admission to the academy [. . .] See how the very world seems changed [. . .]," falls into the realm of would-that-it-were. Alai's "Two Stories" derive from Tibetian folktale, with a dash of magic realism: "The moonlight burrowed out of the cluster of clouds and kept pace with his steps." More magic realism in Jonathan Carroll's "After having eaten the piece of the building, Allan Harris was transformed," from "Home on the Rain." From "Voyagers" by the extraordinary Frederic Tuten: "On reflection, that night when my trawler was diving down to Davy Jones's Locker, I came to see--in that moment when death seemed just ahead--to appreciate her point." And from the poignant "Kornia" by Elizabeth Hand: "Oh sure it takes a terrorist attack to hear from you." A wonderful collection. [Conjunctions, Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY 12504.

Reimagining Place
Volume 1 Number 1
Winter/Spring 2005
Ready to stand at indistinct edges or walk vertiginous margins, the aptly named Ecotone is a brave new offering out of the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. As editor David Gessner explains, it's the edges, "between genres, between science and literature, between land and sea, between the civilized and wild, between earnest and comic, between the personal and biological, between urban and rural, between animal and spiritual" that Ecotone feels are "not only more alive, but more interesting and worthy of our exploration." Worthy of exploration as well is this first issue, a nicely produced perfect-bound volume weighing in at over 150 pages, with a center section of art devoted to gorgeous collages by Pamela Wallace Toll. The remaining pages are chock full of biggies such as Reg Saner, Philip Levine, Bill Roorbach, Gerald Stern, Wendell Berry, and Peter Matthiessen, to name only a few. My only complaint about volume one is that at times it seems quality has taken a second seat to star-power; for instance, the piece here by Reg Saner–author of many very, very fine essays–was a disappointment. That said, the journal still has much to offer, including an interview with Mark Doty as well as several excellent poems; Doty is, I think, physically incapable of producing so-so work. Also noteworthy is a lovely lyric essay by Brad Land, as well as a tribute to the work of "nature-writer" John Hay, to use an appellation that Peter Matthiessen, in his response to Hay's work, quite rightly calls "insipid and obsolete." No such complaint can be made about Ecotone, whose travels to the "lands in-between" will no doubt continue to result in a journal well-worth reading.

Contemporary Poetry and Poetics
Number 72
Spring 2005
Field: (fēld) n. any wide, unbroken expanse; in this case, one of terrific poetry. But longtime readers of the venerable journal, in publication since the 60's, won't find that news revelatory. As usual, there's much here to be praised, with new work by notables such as Pattiann Rogers, Marianne Boruch, Dennis Schmitz and Sandra McPherson. Most appealing to this reader, however, were two lovely poems by Kevin Prufer "Gothic: Leaves" and "The Pastor;" the former made me long for the autumn leaf piles of my Midwestern childhood. I read associate editor David Young's review of the Donald Justice's Collected Poems, posthumously published by Knopf (Justice died just days before its appearance), with great interest, intrigued by his observations on how the art of translation can feed a poet's work (it didn't hurt that Young himself is one of my favorite translators). But the highlight of this issue was four poems by Franz Wright. He may have come in for some roasting in the "Letters to the Editor" section of the May issue of Poetry–or, rather, roasted himself, depending on one's point of view–but he's still a damn fine poet. And this is a damned fine issue of Field. [Field, 50 North Professor Street, Oberlin, OH 44074. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com. Single issue $7. www.oberlin.edu/ocpress] – Kathe Lison
Issue 50
Gargoyle is the collection eclectic was invented for. Its contents include—in addition to the cartoon frontispiece by Patricia Storms offering aid and comfort to writers everywhere, and several photographic portraits—the non-fiction "Berkley Morning," an excerpt from Phillip Henry Christopher's Trippin' with Charlie and "Dreaming Richard Brautigan" by Greg Keeler. At least a third of this issue's 465 pages is given over to poetry ranging from work by Kate Braverman, J.P. Dancing Bear, Rachel Galvin, James Grinwis, Patrick Lawler ("It's as if after Pearl Harbor we declared war / on Spain" from "Duct Tape Monologue") to Rusty Russell's "Before and After Bloomington": "The road between Champaign and Bloomington, IL / is an uncrossable distance. / I drove through the same sunset for a week without stopping, / and where Chicago should have been it was Saturday." Fiction includes Kathy Acker's "The Seattle Book," presented as published—"most privately published / in fact not even well typed"—and Jim Barnes's "The Visiting Writer" encountering Czech naivety. In Rick Moody's "The Pirate Station," the station enters old age in a state of decline "[. . .] imagines it can hear the music of the spheres and begins to totter down a long narrow corridor [. . .]" Lance Olsen's "Every sentence is a kiss and every paragraph an embrace." from "on the despisers of the body," excerpted from his novel Nietzsche's Kisses, seems to tell us how it is to drown, and/or be hospitalized; fascinating in either case.

Hayden's Ferry Review
Issue 35
Fall/Winter 2004-05
From among the sage brush and juniper (not to mention the sprawling megalopolis that is the greater Phoenix area) Hayden's Ferry Review continues to prove that dedication to an editorial vision pays off. Its editors may change yearly, but its commitment to "the artistic and cultural conversations between the work of established and emerging artists" does not. Issue 35 continues that tradition with work from both new and old voices. In the "new" category is a fine first publication by short-story writer Anne Clifford about a middle-aged woman whose sexual longing for her 20-something nephew seems symptomatic of her inability to relate to her too-often married sister. Not to be missed either is "Int. Hotel Room-Day" a stunningly good piece of fiction in which Chris Gavaler manages to use a porn film to poignantly reveal silences in a marriage (honestly, you have to read this!). The other great thing about this issue, besides all of the super poetry and artwork I haven't room to mention specifically, is the special section on metafiction. The editors have collected nine meta-works here, all of them worth reading (though I particularly enjoyed Michael Hettic's "Sky Full of White Birds"). The section ends with the pièce de résistance: an interview with William H. Gass. "Prose that does not sing is not alive" Gass admonishes; it's a reminder Hayden's Ferry Review does not need.

Hiram Poetry Review
Issue 66
Spring 2005
It always makes me happy to see a long-running literary magazine still going strong. Hiram Poetry Review is in its 39th year, and for a magazine devoted entirely to poetry that should signal something. Most of the poems in this issue are written in a confessional style with a strong first-person presence. Shane McCrae's "Immunity" deals with the timeless subject of lost love ("I've built up an immunity / to knife wounds as well / as that photograph of Mussolini's corpse you so admire"). E. R. Carlin offers up a strong poem titled "Depleted" with a narrator who looks at procreation as a kind of warfare. Remarkably the woman he is having sex with has zero presence in the poem, which heightens the metaphor. It is humorous, affecting and sexual, three words that could describe a good deal of the poems here. [The Hiram Poetry Review, P.O. Box 162, Hiram, Ohio 44234. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Mad Hatters' Review
Issue 2
Summer 2005
Alice would love Mad Hatters' Review—as I do—there's something, including the astral threats of summer, to delight everyone. Among its text-art-music combos are Marty D. Ison's text, narration, and art for "Wake up, Damian Hirst!": "—but none of it can exorcise god-want from the pleading soul."; and Brett Powers's "Pathology" with Wayne Yang's art, Steven Kane's music: "[ . . . ] all it would take to change everything for the better is three little Phillips head screws cast upon the still water." The impressive poetry collection contains work by John Barbato, Lynn Lipshin, Corey Mesler, Caroline Zonailo, and others. Beautifully formatted, this innovative quarterly journal features—in addition to usual categories, plus original art and music—a play by Timothy Matos; Spent half the morning here with: five mini-movies by Mona-Lia Ventress, three by Donna Kahn; cartoons and parodies: "Campbells's Soup Can (Botulism)" by Tony 'Baloney' Juliano; "The Wave: Moving Sculpture" video and text by Reuben Margolin: "The Wave has many origins, but somehow I always associate its soul with a wheat field in Andulsia," music by Paul A. Toth; columns; and the zaniness of cartoony hat-doffing icons scattered about an elegant layout. And Alice would recognize that Paul Slapion's eerie cover artworks, the fragmented and/or hallucinatory nature of individual contributions confirm the title's awareness of cultural poison and the need for respite of laughter and art. I echo the following sentiment: "[. . .] we're going to enjoy the ride while it lasts and we sincerely hope that you'll join us in spirit, if not in deed," from Editor's Rave by Editor/Publisher, Carol Novack.

Issue 6
From the web site: "Matter is a unique biannual publication of literature, poetry, photography, visual art and just about anything that is made of matter." It is also a beautifully constructed and environmentally oriented publication whose editor, Todd Simmons, recommends we read it outside in sunshine—he means well, but it's 110 degrees here today. Good advice, however, for the Colorado/Wyoming area it serves. This issue's call for "[. . .] work dealing with empty space, missing parts, ecological infatuations, future primitive, and the fabric of landscape," was met head-on. From Evan Oakley's "An Atlas of the World": "Now, the creation myth of astrophysicists supplants those of shamans, [. . .]" to Joseph Hawley's "a fortunate accident . . . 11 days (with medical attention)"—the journal's day 9 trampled underfoot—Matter displays a taste for the astute, the offbeat, the different—Michael Crake's "Concourse B": "ticketed passengers only // pair of glasses reads the newspaper / white shirt and black pants / she does not smile // may I have your attention please"—and these are only items that caught my eye, there are many more: short stories by Sue Ring DeRossett, Jeffe Kennedy, Blair Oliver, Peter Soliunas, and essays by Ted Daughters (ketchup), Todd Simmons (hot-air ballooning), Jane Carpenter (sky-diving), Dan DeWeese's "Obliterated Landscape," and RoseMarie London's "Red, Blue, and the WWE." Plus "An Elemental Life," an interview with David Gessner; Nathan Thrailkill's strangely Egyptian artwork: "Temple of Pious Hygiene," as well as 17 pages of attractive monochrome ads featuring local merchants.

Post Road
Number 10
Turning the page in Post Road always brings a new surprise. Will the next piece be a non-fiction essay on the local dogcatcher, a book recommendation made by one of your favorite authors, a poem or a long series of video stills? Post Road issue 10 is a real hodgepodge of writing with plenty that had me excited. The aforementioned Matt Roberts piece, "The Dogcatcher Hates Politics," was a fun and clever piece containing this gem: "'Excitement,' the dogcatcher says, 'is a dumpster full of raccoons.'" Other highlights for me included John Colburn's two excellent poems and D. Gatling Price's collage-like and beautiful story "Still Wreck." Most of the pieces in this issue are short, only a few clock-in over seven pages, and the pieces contain a level of excitement from start to finish. Post Road's book recommendations are interesting, allowing the reader to see the variety of books authors have fallen in love with. I've seen book recommendations in literarily magazines before, but normally only one or two an issue; Post Road 10 contains thirteen. For my part, I'm happy to give Post Road my recommendation.

Seneca Review
"New Lyric Essayists"
Volume 35 Number 1
Spring 2005
In I Wanted to Write a Poem, William Carlos Williams explained why he reduced a five line stanza so that it would match a four line stanza: "See how much better it conforms to the page, how much better it looks?" Unsurprisingly, this same attention to form–form for form's sake, as an aesthetic consideration, perhaps even more than a literary one–characterizes much of the work of the fifteen writers Seneca Review features in their Spring 2005 edition "New Lyric Essayists." Both Seneca and lyric essay editor John D'Agata seem to have a fondness for the term "new." When Seneca began publishing what it has dubbed "lyric" essays in 1997, they declared them "new terrain," though the newness of that terrain is debatable. The essay has always been, by definition, an "experimental" form. Consider, for example, the fragmented nature of much of Montaigne's digression and aphorism-ridden work or the mode of essay writing know as zuihisu in Japanese, practiced by writers such as Kenko as early as the 13th century. However, Seneca is to be heartily applauded for continuing to remind readers that essays need not be the boring five-paragraph theme too many generations of composition students were once forced to digest. Of note here is the lead piece "The Pain Scale" by Eula Bliss, as well "Raptors, Grammar and the Electric Clock Bird" by Colette LaBouff Atkinson, two works in which content, form and an essayistic inquisitiveness about how fact intersects emotion, come together in a mix that's as heady and satisfying as a Dirty Martini. While not all of the essays here are quite as intoxicating–a few struck me as not worth the time to piece together, the ever-present risk of fetishizing form–Seneca Review never ceases to be provocative, and those who like essays as jig-saw puzzles will no doubt have a ball playing with some of these pieces.

Spire is a slender volume of poetry, fiction, and stated purpose (from the web site): "Spire is dedicated to publishing traditionally marginalized voices of minority, low-income and young writers and artists who will create the future of arts and literature. Spire publishes new writers alongside more established writers in order to lend credibility and establish interest in the work of the new writers. Spire is a nonprofit organization which publishes a biannual journal of exceptional quality." I especially enjoyed George Rabasa's "Hyperspud" and from Sharon Lynn Osmond's "Summer Afternoon": "One day you wake into the blue- / green botany of two o'clock." "At the River" by Edythe Haendel Schwartz: "[. . .] trout swishing like / the teardrop gown / her mother wears / to bed / brown satin / flecked with wine," and "When you say / I wear a dress of flames / I think of the madrones / their orange skin peeling / in the White August sun," from "Summersweet" by Jeannine Hall Gailey, as well as the black and white photography and the daisy-strewn cover.

"Crooked Little Feelings"
Number 2
Swink is like an excited child running up to show you what she found, but instead of grubs and rocks, she has a hand-full of great writing. There is a sense of enthusiasm and fun that permeates this issue from head Editor Leelila Strogov's introduction to the quirky title pages. Some of the best trinkets this time around include Bob Hicok's touching "Matchglow," Kristen Andersen's poem "Some Snapshots," Susan Minot's tale of traveling through Mississippi in a downpour with a passenger whose foot is bloated to the size of a football and John Warner's hilarious "Corrections and Clarifications" ("We declared that Sheriff Jack Seager is an ineffectual public servant whose slipshod leadership is plunging our town into a death spiral of crime and corruption. We regret this because we actually think, as sheriffs go, he's doing a pretty good job… What we meant to say is: word has it that Sheriff Seager has a really small dick."). However, my favorite piece was Steven Bartheleme and Pam Houston's "In the Rain" from Swink's "Damaged Darling" section. Here one author sends a story they enjoy but have been stuck on to another author to finish. This was my favorite part of Swink #1 and I'm happy to see it survived to issue #2. I can't say that every piece here works, but there is plenty to make it worth you while. In Newpages' review of Swink #1 a reviewer declared Swink to be one of the best literary magazine debuts in years. I'm pleased to report that Swink is still fulfilling that promise.

Whignoun \ˈhwig, ˈwig\
: a member or supporter of a British political group of the 18th and early 19th centuries that wanted to decrease royal power and to increase the power of the British Parliament
: an American who supported independence from Great Britain during the American Revolution
: a member or supporter of an American political party of the 19th century that was formed to oppose the Democrats
Full Definition of WHIG
Origin of WHIG
Whignoun (Concise Encyclopedia)
Member of a political faction in England, particularly in the 18th century. Originally a term for Scottish Presbyterians, the name came to imply nonconformity and rebellion and was applied in 1679 to those who wanted to exclude James, the Catholic duke of York (later James II), from succession to the throne of England. The Whigs were opposed by the Tory faction in that struggle but later represented the aristocratic, landowning families and financial interests of the wealthy middle classes. They maintained power through patronage and connections in Parliament, but there was no distinct party until 1784, when Charles James Fox represented the interests of religious dissenters, industrialists, and others who sought parliamentary reform. After 1815 and following various party realignments, the political group became the Liberal Party.

Do you like having sex in public? You do, don't you! I knew it! Well guess what. You're not alone. According to a recent survey by sex toy company Adam and Eve, 52 percent of the 1,000 adults they asked have done the dirty deed in a public space. A parked car was the number one place couples got down, the woods came in second, then there was a smattering of airplane and public bathroom admissions, followed by the most disturbing: church. If you're reading this and have had sex in church, I would like to know how and why you came to that decision. I'm intrigued.
Anyway, a fancy-pants sex-expert says that knocking the boots in public is one way to really spice up your relationship/get arrested.
OK well she didn't warn about getting caught, but yeah, it's not exactly street legal to pollinate the flower in a public park, ifyouknowwhatI'msaying. However, if you're able to be discreet and not scar any innocent children, then the understanding is that a public rendezvous can add excitement and thrills to your boring, everyday love making sessions. So if you're feeling a little spicy tonight, drag your man into the woods and get after it!
Lord knows you won't be the first people to do so. I was a little surprised to read that 52 percent have blazed a sexy trail out of the bedroom and into the cars and/or bathrooms. Neither automobiles nor commodes really do the trick for me, but I suppose their lockable doors and accessibility make them prime spots for a little naked wrestling.
I just hope no one does it in the movie theater while I'm there. I'm sorry. In NYC I'm now paying $13 to see a flick, and the last thing I want is a sideshow porno going on in the seats next to me. So stay out of the theaters, folks, please. Anywhere else? Go for it. Now make like dragonflies and have sex all over the gosh darn place.
Have you had sex in a public place?
Photo via smith/Flickr
i always wanted to!! ive done it in a car...uncomfortable and child-like if you ask me.. i wish i was one of those ppl who could do in a more public spot...id do anything for my man but running the risk of being heard/seen mid coitus..... no thanks. God bless those of you who can!
hehe ive had sex in a college library once :)
We did it in the car at the drive in when it was PACKED lol it was fun, the windows weren't tinted and people walked by but we had a blanket. We also went out to the country in a car and did it out there.
My fiance and I went for a hike and did it on top of a big rock overlooking the city
Actually, are first time having sex was on a picnic table at a park. We've done it in a car just about everywhere. We did it in the middle of the day parked on the side of the road on busy intersection. In a church parking lot. In one of those crawling tubes that lead to a slide at a park. In a resteraunt parking lot. A bed for us wasn't accessible when we started dating. lol.

Business Energy Guide 2012
Making the Transition Helping Hawaii's Businesses Become Energy Efficient
By: Sherie Char
(page 3 of 8)
Breaking Our Dependence on Oil
"Hawaii's Clean Energy Initiative is geared to break our dependence on oil as a state," says Scott Seu, vice president of energy resources at Hawaiian Electric Co. "The price of oil is so volatile and expensive that when the price of fossil fuel rises, it greatly impacts our customers' electricity bills, the cost of gasoline, air fares and many other goods and services."
As imported oil prices continue to increase, it's becoming a challenge for businesses to manage and budget for unpredictable energy costs. For businesses to be successful, they need more control over these costs, says Seu.
"It makes a lot of sense for businesses to use more renewable energy in order to help their overall financial viability," he says. "Energy is a huge part of one's operating costs. Businesses can also benefit from promoting themselves as being clean and green."
It's equally important for Hawaii's utilities to switch to renewable energy instead of using oil. Using renewable energy at stable prices will help stem the impact of volatile and increasing oil prices on electric bills. From an environmental perspective, Hawaii can use clean technologies to reduce its carbon footprint. From a business perspective, there is a huge potential for the development of new clean energy industries in Hawaii.
"It makes a lot of sense for businesses to use more
Hawaiian Electric has been contributing to Hawaii's renewable energy transition by partnering with businesses to develop a diverse portfolio of renewable resources including solar, wind, biofuels, geothermal, waste-to-energy and biomass.
With the 30-megawatt Kahuku Wind farm in operation, wind power is now helping to meet the energy needs of customers on Oahu. Other wind farms are serving Maui and Hawaii Island. Additional wind projects on Oahu's North Shore and on Maui are in development.
By working with solar providers, Hawaiian Electric has been honored as one of the top 10 utilities nationwide for solar watts added per customer in 2010. All four Hawaii utilities are in the top 10 for total solar watts per customer. And it continues to work toward adding more solar power.
"On the biofuel front, the Campbell Industrial Park generating station has been operating successfully on 100 percent biodiesel for more than a year now," says Seu. "As far as we know, it's the only commercial power plant that operates on 100 percent biodiesel in the world."
In 2011, Hawaiian Electric also tested biofuel at Kahe Power Plant on Oahu, which now uses the refined petroleum residue called low sulfur fuel oil.
"We blended different amounts of biofuel with our normal fuel at Kahe," he says. "Eventually, we were able to use 100 percent biofuel. The results showed us that this change reduced our emissions."
Photo: istockphoto.com
Maui Electric Co. also recently conducted tests using biodiesel in one of its generating units usually fired on petroleum diesel.
"Whether it's at Hawaiian Electric or on Maui Electric, our goal is to become green with our existing power plants by using sustainable biofuel," Seu said.
Hawaiian Electric has also partnered with the Hawaii Department of Transportation to jointly develop a biofuel-powered emergency generating power plant at Honolulu International Airport which will be available to send power to the grid when there is no emergency. Maui-based Pacific Biodiesel has been contracted to produce and supply the local biofuel.
"In addition to our power plant projects, we're seeking new utility-scale projects to deliver renewable energy to Oahu," he says. "We are welcoming proposals from all different renewable technologies, including wind and solar farms. We are looking at all options, including how we can expand geothermal on the Big Island."
As Hawaiian Electric continues to work with developers of projects that produce renewable energy, the company wants to build energy management systems to help customers attain a better sense of how electricity is being used.
And the utility continues to provide practical information to customers about how they can help manage their electric bills.
"We're all in this together," says Seu. "Depending on imported oil is not really a viable option for our state in the long run. We have to work together with Hawaii's businesses and residents, and move forward to pursue a diversity of clean energy alternatives."

New Mexico State Athletic Director McKinley Boston released an open letter Wednesday on the Aggies athletic website titled "Conference Update" to announce NMSU will officially be an Independent in football beginning in the 2013 season. Below is the statement from Dr. Boston:
Dear Aggie Fans and Supporters,
As we start our sports season, I want to provide an update on conference affiliations and steps we are taking to ensure a strong future for our athletics program. I have heard from many of you and appreciate the support you have offered as we work through conference challenges. Our coaches and our student-athletes are focused on the task at hand, which is to win WAC championships. Hope to see you at our games. Several of our sports have already kicked off their respective seasons so come out and support our teams.
Here is a brief update:
What factors led to the current situation with athletic conference realignment?
As many of you know, the athletic conference landscape radically changed during the last few years with more than 160 conference moves. One of the key factors driving the shifts in conference affiliations is the need to find sustainable revenue streams and help cover athletic budgets. Clearly, conferences add members with one goal in mind: How does this improve our conference competitively and what additional resources will a new member bring? The financial concern led conferences to examine television contracts as a source of funds. Unfortunately, Las Cruces is not a major television market and does not contribute value to a conference from the perspective of TV revenues.
What have we been doing?
We have been and continue to aggressively seek out the very best option for NMSU. Our Board of Regents, President Barbara Couture and I have been investigating alternatives, analyzing different scenarios and discussing options. First, we have discussed what steps would be required to rebuild the WAC. Second, we have talked to other conferences, including the Mountain West, Conference USA, Sun Belt and Big Sky, about membership opportunities as either a full member or a football-only member. And, at every step along the way we have promoted NMSU, our commitment to a quality athletics program, and the city of Las Cruces telling the good story about what is going on here. Seemingly every hour of every day President Couture and I continue to contact university athletic directors, university presidents and conference commissioners to explore options and build a sound plan for NMSU's future conference membership.
Where does this leave NMSU?
NMSU is committed to continuing at the Division 1 level and we are committed to our football program. Our focus is to win WAC championships and to be the best mid-major program we can be. Looking ahead, we are planning to play as an independent football program in 2013. Nine of 12 football games have already been scheduled with at least five of those games to be played at home. The entire 2013 football schedule should be available in mid-October. Even though our football program will be independent in 2013, NMSU will remain a WAC member in all other sports.
We need your help!
Your enthusiastic and visible support of our athletics program will send a message to our Division I competitors that we have something very special here. Our Division I peers need to know that we are a college town with loyal, committed fans wholove their Aggies. They need to know that a trip to Las Cruces provides an unparalleled experience for their students and fans. We may not be a top 10 television market, but we can show our spirit and enthusiasm for college sports. Conferences want members who contribute to the conference in many ways. Let's show our colors and put on the very best show possible to our visitors and guests!
We have a very good story to tell when it comes to the achievements of our student-athletes and the quality of this university. This is an important asset that we have aggressively promoted as we have pursued the various conference membership options. You can help us spread the word about NMSU and the success of our student-athletes, our coaches and our various athletic programs. We are excited about winning WAC championships and we have many pride points to celebrate. Here are a few examples from the 2011-2012 academic year:
•34 student-athletes posted a PERFECT 4.0 Fall semester GPA
•50 student-athletes posted a PERFECT 4.0 Spring semester GPA
•247 student-athletes achieved a 3.0or higherFall semester GPA
•243 student-athletes achieved a 3.0or higherSpring semester GPA
•Student-athletes compiled more than 5,000 community service hours
•Softball head coach Kathy Rodolph andWomen's golf coaches Jackie Booth and Paul Brilliant were named WAC Coaches of the Year
During the past three seasons, we have an impressive record of wins in the WAC:
•Baseball: Regular season WAC Co-Champs in 2012, NCAA Tournament appearance in 2012
•Men's Basketball: WAC Tournament Champs in 2010 and 2012 and NCAA Tournament in 2010 and 2012
•Softball: WAC regular season and tournament champs in 2011, NCAA Tournament appearance in 2011
And our Men's Golf team has won five WAC titles in six years (2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2006).
Thank you again for your support and go Aggies!

CRANSTON, RI — The head custodian at Western Hills Middle School was suspended without pay following the discovery of a videotape showing the custodian tampering with the employee time clock, according to the Providence Journal.
According to the story, Neal Emmett will be on suspension until the School Committee can hold a termination hearing, if he does not choose to quit first.
School officials started investigating last week after WPRI-TV called and said it had received a videotape in the mail from an anonymous sender showing Emmett uncovering a time clock in the janitorial office, changing the time and punching out five time cards before replacing the cover, the story stated.
Superintendant Peter Nero said: "I'm going to assume it was not a one-time occurrence. I'm not naïve. I don't think there'll be a custodian in the district for the next year who comes in a minute late or leaves a minute early."
It may be impossible to determine who the time cards belonged to because the videotape was made several months ago and the custodial staff at Western Hills Middle School has changed since then, the story noted.
School officials are concerned that someone installed a video camera, which is in violation of school policy, rather than approaching a superior and reporting that someone was tampering with a time clock, the story added.

As the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) first Director of Highway and Motor Carrier Programs, Dan Hartman is responsible for the security of the United States' motor coach and pupil transportation, trucking operations and highway infrastructure systems. In this interview, Hartman explains how the administration's Corporate Security Review (CSR) Program helps surface transportation owners and operators to protect their critical assets and how CSRs benefit Highway and Motor Carrier Programs and TSA's stakeholders.
Please provide a brief overview of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and of your duties as Director of Highway and Motor Carrier Programs.
In November 2001, Congress passed the Aviation and Transportation Security Act in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and created TSA as an agency within the U.S. Department of Transportation. In early 2003, TSA was moved into the Department of Homeland Security with other federal agencies to share missions.
Simply stated, TSA is responsible for transportation security. This includes the major modes of transportation—aviation, railroads, pipelines, highway, mass transit and maritime. The most visible face of TSA is, of course, the screening personnel that the public encounters at airports. However, TSA has developed programs within all of the transportation modes to protect the public and to prevent terrorist attacks.
As the Director of Highway and Motor Carrier Programs, I am an executive-level security management official and a senior technical expert on highway security. The highway in this sense is defined as the infrastructure (roads, tunnels, bridges and passengers), which is transported by motor coach, school bus and cargo, including the conveyance used. It is my responsibility to partner with all parties involved in "highway" to develop national programs. These programs range from strengthening the infrastructure to identifying security system vulnerabilities and the subsequent development of mitigation strategies for use in the industry.
TSA uses a Corporate Security Review (CSR) Program that gives the administration a general understanding of each surface transportation owner's or operator's ability to protect its critical assets. Please further describe the methodology used in conducting a CSR and explain how CSRs benefit Highway and Motor Carrier Programs specifically.
Prior to September 11, 2001, there was no consistent focus on the security of our transportation systems. When I was first tasked with developing programs to reduce security vulnerabilities in our highway system, I wanted to base these programs on data. Unfortunately, there was very little data available and the little that did exist was not collected in any uniform manner or stored in any database. When asked about the level of security within our nation's highways, it was difficult to make any assessment because of the scarcity of data. So we decided to develop a tool that could, at a minimum, bring back data to make assessments and informed management decisions. The CSR currently contains 77 questions aimed at collecting this data to help us to baseline the industry. In addition, since the review is conducted onsite with corporate managers, it allows us to validate whether management is actually implementing the plan. Any identified gaps in the plan are also discussed, and suggestions for countermeasures are provided to the corporate owners. CSRs are currently performed on state transportation departments, motor coach companies, bridge owners/operators, and we plan to begin reviewing trucking and truck rental leasing companies.
I should point out that participating in a CSR is a voluntary effort. TSA does not have any regulations that require security plans or any requirements that stipulate what must be in the plan. We actually call the state or company in advance and ask if they would like us to conduct a review. An advance copy of the questions is also sent before the visit to allow more time for response. To date, no highway entity has ever turned down our offer of a CSR!
The CSRs have given us a great foothold in baselining the security posture of our highway system. The data generated from the reviews will also help us to determine if security regulations are needed for the industry. And the data helps us to use our resources to address vulnerabilities. Follow-up reviews will be invaluable in establishing trends to see if our efforts result in measurable security improvements.
Another benefit derived from the CSRs is the collection and dissemination of "best practices." Each review seems to capture a new idea, a new countermeasure or a unique way of combating a terrorist attempt. We are assimilating these "best practices" and sharing them with states and with the industry.
Of all the benefits, though, I believe that the relationship we forge with our state, local and industry partners is the greatest benefit. TSA's field presence during CSRs encourages a higher degree of stakeholder confidence in the agency and rapidly builds trusted partnerships, which results in both synergy and a united front in the war against terrorism.
How do CSRs fit in with the four goals of TSA's strategic plan (Domain Awareness, Prevent and Protect, Respond and Restore, Organizational Effectiveness)?
CSRs stress the need for and the importance of a security plan. A model plan addresses the critical areas of domain awareness, prevention and protection, response and restoration and organizational effectiveness. I believe domain awareness is strengthened by creating new and more comfortable ways of sharing information and intelligence between industry, federal, state and local stakeholders. During the CSR, we often suggest new approaches to the stakeholder's existing plans to protect their assets and help to tailor security needs into their own initiatives and programs of response and restoration. We quickly realized after the first few state transportation reviews that most states have taken an "all-hazards" approach in creating their plan since they are responsible for reestablishing the flow of people and cargo as rapidly as possible after a transportation incident. The incident could have been a terrorist attack, or it could have also been caused by anything from a violent storm to civil unrest. Our goal is to ensure that security threats are properly addressed in the plan and that efforts to address one hazard will not create security breaches on another front.
What factors must TSA consider when selecting the systems in which to perform a CSR?
Secretary Michael Chertoff often addresses this issue when asked to describe the department's risk-based system. He says that the following three elements must be included:
If any information within the three elements above is incomplete, we also consider such items as the probability of an attack on that system/asset, the importance of that system to the highway network and the potential impact on other modal operations such as aviation, pipelines, mass transit, rail or our maritime systems.
We also visit stakeholders who have demonstrated success in using unique countermeasures or security procedures so that we can continue to build our "best practices" portfolio.
We know that terrorists want to inflict the greatest harm possible to make their statement, and they want their results to be dramatic. Obviously, we want to thwart that attack. Unfortunately, I do not know of any algorithms that will unerringly point us in the right direction 100% of the time since the terms of the equation constantly change.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) both participate in highway CSRs. How does this joint coordination work, and how does it impact the final CSR?
I think we have been and will continue to be sensitive to the time demands placed upon our state departments of transportation and on the industry. Both FMCSA and FHWA have active field programs in which site visits are necessary to carry out safety missions. We coordinate schedules to avoid any redundancies, and we will alter schedules to accommodate an entity that we want to review. We invite our sister U.S. Department of Transportation administrations to participate with us during a CSR because we believe safety and security have joint missions. Bringing together safety and security organizations in front of the CSR stakeholder spurs conversations that might not have taken place before. This enriches the data collected and the overall CSR learning experience for all entities involved.
As of September 2005, a total of 35 CSRs have been performed on highway entities. What kind of response has TSA received from its stakeholders?
The program has received substantial support from its modal stakeholders. With respect to the highways mode, we are surprised by the enthusiastic reception we have received from state departments of transportation, motor carriers and school bus operators. We are also pleased to find that the stakeholder community has ambitiously pursued security efforts on its own and welcomes our teams as a way of validating and improving upon their efforts. We have worked hard to apprise the various highway associations about our CSR program. The net result today is that we actually have more invitations in the queue for CSRs than we have the ability to meet.
Teams of TSA modal experts conduct CSRs. If the information obtained during a CSR shows any security gaps or deficiencies, how does the team begin to develop strategies and best practices for the stakeholder to follow?
The last phase of the onsite review involves a close-out session with corporate management. During this time, any gaps discovered in the security plan are discussed, and strategies for countermeasures are surfaced. Depending on the deficiencies, our team's knowledge of best practices collected from other stakeholders is invaluable, and hopefully, measures can be mapped out for implementation during this closeout session. If we do not have any immediate solutions for the stakeholder, the team will initiate a discussion with headquarters personnel and other modal leaders for a solution. Your question shows why the collection and dissemination of data is so important to TSA. We believe that many of the solutions are contained in the data. So we are taking great strides to store data and to make it available for analysis.
In what ways have CSRs helped to improve highway and motor carrier security in particular?
CSRs have given us the opportunity to synergize the security expertise of TSA with the understanding, knowledge and experience of the stakeholders. I would like to use the passenger carrier industry as an example. The discussions we conducted during the CSRs on the motor coach and school bus industry revealed that more guidance was needed on how to put a plan together. This resulted in a team effort with TSA, the national motor coach associations and our Department of Homeland Security (DHS) partner, the Office of State and Local Government Coordination, which backed the effort with grant monies. Together, we rolled up our sleeves and developed a model industry security plan—a plan that could be used as a template by the entire industry.
Again, using the motor coach industry as an example, we discovered a critical need to manage and to protect passengers in a heightened alert situation. This need initiated our Bus Explosive Screening Technologies (BEST) Pilot project. We wanted to know if motor coach company employees could be easily trained on the use of explosive trace detection (ETD) equipment and if screening processes could be used in a motor coach terminal without any significant disruption to either the passengers or to the company's operation. The testing phase is over, and we are currently evaluating the data.
Are safety, health and environmental (SH&E) professionals consulted during a CSR? If so, what are their responsibilities?
When my staff begins to plan for a CSR, they call the corporate officials in advance of the visit and explain the types of questions that will be asked and the type of information that will be sought during the review. We ask that a cross-section of individuals in their organization be available to cover the areas of security—physical and cyber, business operations and training. Some of the entities we reviewed made SH&E professionals available for questioning and close-out discussions. This was helpful in determining communication capabilities across the organization, and we recognize the important role of SH&E. Having our Federal Department of Transportation safety partners (FMCSA and FHWA) along with us on the review also augments the discussion with the organization's SH&E personnel.
As Director of Highway and Motor Carrier Programs, what role do you play in the development and enforcement of transportation security standards?
I am fortunate to have a great staff with years of prior experience in the highway and motor carrier sector. My role is to set the direction and goals for this staff and to promote their interaction with our stakeholders. The government cannot create an effective security net on its own. And I believe that the industry knows this and is willing to form partnerships.
TSA has the authority to issue regulations and security directives, but the extent to which standards need to be mandated is still an open question. I think it is more important for me as Director to ensure that highway and motor carrier security systems mesh well with rail, maritime, aviation, pipeline and mass transit plans. One of TSA's early leaders, Admiral James Loy, who brought me into this agency, used to say that we cannot chase the "bad guys" from one mode of transportation to another. My job is to work with the directors of the other modes to make sure that TSA has a united, uniform approach to protect all modes and that programs developed in my office fit into the larger picture of transportation security in the United States.
Does TSA plan to modify or improve its current CSR Program within the next year? If so, please explain what changes will be made.
I think that the program has tremendous growth potential, and we expect steady and continual improvements for years to come. The make-up of the Highway and Motor Carrier industry is vast, varied and complex. So far, we have conducted reviews of 30 states. Next year, we will continue to review states, but there will be an increased emphasis on school bus and motor coach reviews. We also hope to focus on transporters of hazardous materials and to develop a program with the truck rental and leasing population.
As we move forward, we will continue to seek suggestions from industry associations and other federal and state officials for improvements. Because of the enormity of the task ahead of us, we need to find ways to leverage scarce resources. Change will be inevitable.
If all of us work together to instill the need to make security second-nature in the design of roadways, tunnels and bridges and to include this essential element as part of conducting the nation's transportation business everyday, then change will be positive.Biography
Dan Hartman has worked for the Department of Homeland Security's Transportation Security Administration (TSA) since December 2002. As the first Director of Transportation Infrastructure Security, he was responsible for the development and direction of national security programs that protect the nation's mass transit, highway, pipeline, rail and maritime infrastructures from terrorist and other intentionally disruptive acts. When TSA reorganized in January 2005, Hartman became the first Director of Highway and Motor Carrier Programs, and in this position, he is responsible for the security of the nation's motor coach and pupil transportation, trucking operations and highway infrastructure systems.

New Adventures of Batman (TV Series)
The New Adventures of Batman was a half an hour animated television series produced by Filmation and broadcast on the CBS network from February 5th, 1977 until September 5th, 1978, spanning a total of sixteen episodes. The series featured the voice talents of Adam West and Burt Ward, both of whom portrayed the characters of Batman and Robin (respectively) in the live-action television series from 1966. West and Ward were the only two actors to reprise their roles for the animated series. The program also featured the voice talents of Lennie Weinrib who played the roles of Commissioner Gordon, the Joker and Mister Freeze. Lou Scheimer provided the voice for Bat-Mite, who was a recurring character on the New Adventures of Batman. Scheimer also lent his voice to the role of Clayface. Actress Melendy Britt played the role of Batgirl and Catwoman. Although the program aired at the same time as the more popular Super Friends, it is a matter of interpretation whether or not the two shows were intended to reflect the same continuity. One important distinction between the two, is that Ward and West did not provide the voice for Batman and Robin on the Super Friends at this time (West however, would eventually return to the Super Friends franchise in 1986 when the series changed its title to Galactic Guardians: The Super Powers Team.

text: The world's largest mutual fund benchmarks with CRSP By Robin Mordfin November 20, 2013 From: Blog Share While many outside academia claim that universities are simply ivory towers filled with navel gazers and useless information, the Center for Research in Security Prices at Chicago Booth once again proves how the work of outstanding university research translates to real world triumphs. Vanguard's Total Stock Market Index Fund, which began using CRSP's US Total Market Index for benchmarking last October, announced last week that it edged out PIMCO's Total Return Fund to become the world's largest mutual fund. Vanguard ended the month with $251 billion in assets compared with PIMCO's $247.9 billion. Bloomberg directly credited CRSP's Index with boosting the Vanguard fund to the number one position, pointing to the Index's 27 percent return. Clearly, October was a really, really good month for CRSP, whose chairman, Eugene Fama won the Nobel Prize in Economics alongside fellow CRSP economist Lars Peter Hansen. Along with the Vanguard feat, these prizes make it even more obvious that the center is tops in market data. CRSP was created to provide data for scholarly research and to help out ordinary investors by providing investment funds with the kind of information that make sound decisions easy. Its founders started off by creating a database of monthly prices for commons stock that enabled researchers to conduct the first comprehensive study of rates of return. Since then, CRSP has expanded its research tools to be even more useful, and now includes among others, historical, real estate, cap based portfolio and US Treasury indexes. Vanguard's market-winning tool, CRSP's US Total Market Index, is part of a crop of 10 new sector indexes the Center introduced in 2011 that focus on developing value and growth style indexes. The Index represents mega, large, small and micro capitalizations that represent nearly 100 percent of the market. "The CRSP indexes don't deviate too much from common practice, because we are trying to make something that is practical," explained Chicago Booth's John C. Heaton in a previous interview with Capital Ideas. Heaton created the new products along with Professor Lubos Pastor. "And they're investable." Vanguard's new market position proves that. In addition to Heaton and Pastor, CRSP's board of directors is entirely populated by Booth faculty, including Steven Neil Kaplan, Tobias Moskowitz, John H. Cochrane and Douglas W. Diamond. Today, CRSP data is used by nearly 450 universities in 35 countries. "We have CRSP, it is the first, the biggest, the most well-known, the most respected." Heaton added. "It's the gold standard."

Seeking advice on switching to engineering from physics

I'm a physics/math major halfway through my (first) senior year. Until recently, I planned on pursuing a PhD in physics after graduation but I've decided to switch to engineering for grad school. I'd appreciate any advice on going this route (physics/math BS to a masters or PhD in an engineering discipline).
Although it's my senior year, I still have three semesters left because the physics department here is small and only offers certain necessary classes every other year. That being the case, my course load for the last two semesters is quite light. I thought I'd fill this time with some engineering courses so that I have less catching up to do the first couple years of grad school. I think I'd have time for three or four (engineering) classes that last year. Any advice on particularly important courses that I should take would also be appreciated. I haven't yet decided between electrical or mechanical engineering for however that may effect your replies.
I do, of course, plan on speaking with an advisor about this but I thought I'd field some replies here first. Any input helps. Thanks.

Hi Bobbo
I think you are in a pretty good position to try things out since you say your next few semesters will be relatively light. And since you are a physics/math guy, I think you will pick extremely quickly on any engineering courses you take. Since you are still unsure as to what route you would like to take, EE or ME, I would suggest taking at least 1 course in each. Maybe Fluid Mechanics for ME and a Circuits class for EE. Just keep in mind that these courses are just "samples" of what these disciplines do.
Also, since graduate school is a little more "open-ended" then undergrad you can likely get the best of both worlds if you so desire. Just look for advisers who are doing the types of research that will utilize the kinds of skills you are hoping to acquire.
Jan12-13, 09:44 AM
An update:
After speaking with an engineering advisor and mulling it over for a bit, I have a couple new questions.
1) I was told that the typical graduate process in an engineering discipline involves first obtaining a master's degree then applying to PhD programs afterwords. This differs from my understanding of the graduate process in physics where you usually apply to PhD programs immediately after obtaining your bachelor's (master's degree's being a sort of conciliatory degree for unsuccessful doctoral work). This advice also contradicts what I've seen on a few university websites which recommend applying directly for the PhD program if that's your goal. Can anyone shed any light on this?
2) I was advised that mechatronics involves a mix of electrical and mechanical and that this might be a good discipline to pursue given my interest in both. My university proclaims a strong mechatronics master's program (one of two in the state) but this is a pretty new discipline and I wonder how employable it is. Comments anyone?
If it is indeed advisable to get a master's before applying to a PhD program, I may stick around here for a couple more years. This also depends on the prospects that a mechatronics major may have. I appreciate any comments. Thanks.

"No, I doubt that," Wilson says, noting he's still undecided but doesn't think he's a Huntsman voter.
Some of the lack of enthusiasm about the candidate can be explained by digging into surveys of voters here.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Andy Smith, an associate professor of political science at the University of New Hampshire and head of its Survey Center, says Huntsman made a strategic error by trying to target independents, which make up a big block of voters in the state but still may align with Democrats or Republicans.
Moreover, Smith adds, "Huntsman came here and I think misunderstood that while Republicans in New Hampshire aren't socially conservative, they're still Republicans."
Voters here, Smith says, saw Huntsman as someone who worked for President Barack Obama — Huntsman was the U.S. ambassador to China — and who distanced himself from rival conservative candidates enough that only Democratic-leaning independents looked his way. Those folks aren't likely to turn out Tuesday.
"He's put himself in a box where he's getting support from the wrong kind of people," Smith said.
Pushing forward » When Huntsman first ran for governor in Utah, he faced seven other Republican contenders in a convention fight and emerged to a primary against former House Speaker Nolan Karras. Huntsman took 66 percent of that vote.
Four years later, Huntsman walked to a second term with nearly 78 percent of the vote, and as Huntsman notes on the presidential campaign trail, earned more Democratic votes than his Democratic opponent.
New Hampshire has been a different animal for the candidate who is yet to lose a political race.
Huntsman stresses to voters here that he's going to tell them straight up what he can do, and that he'll do it. He's posted more specific policy papers than any other candidate, a selling point for some.
"I like him the best," says Ann Turbyne of Hookset, who says she remains an independent voter so she can vote in either the Republican or Democratic primaries. "If you're in New England, you want some facts. We don't just want to hear what you think we want to hear."
Stephen Duprey, the Republican National committeeman for the state, says Huntsman has worked very hard in the state at doing just that and has a good professional team that has attracted support from those who previously backed Sen. John McCain's campaign in the Granite State.
"He hasn't seemed to have his moment in the sun, and to be frank, I don't understand why," Duprey says. "This should be a good state for him, and he has a message that should resonate in a fiscally conservative state like New Hampshire, where social conservatives are not so prominent."
Huntsman, trailing in the polls for weeks, could be seeing a last-minute surge with new polls showing him slowly climbing in the polls to third place on the eve of the debate.
Campaign strategist John Weaver said Saturday that Huntsman will be on the ground in Charleston, S.C., on Wednesday ready to fight for South Carolina votes.
And in an internal memo obtained by The Salt Lake Tribune, Weaver argued that the race will come down to "Romney and an electable alternative to Mitt Romney" and that rival will either be Huntsman or former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.
"But it will not be decided until late spring, despite the wishes of Washington insiders," Weaver wrote.
Outlining the path forward, Weaver said the New Hampshire primary will "trigger a critical burst of momentum" for Huntsman in South Carolina and Florida.
"He has not yet been well-defined in the state and his consistent conservative record will play well – particularly juxtaposed against Romney's record of flip-flops and abandonment of the South Carolina primary in 2008," Weaver said.
But before Huntsman heads south, he has to win over a good chunk of of New Hampshire voters, and he's not letting up on the campaign trail.
On a recent snowy night, Huntsman holds a town hall in the Newport, an old mill town near the Vermont border. The gym is packed.Next Page >
