Documentation Fraud Key to FBI Investigations of Mortgage Industry (Wall Street Journal)
Now, the FBI is taking a closer look at possible fraud in the secondary market for mortgages, which could implicate well-known financial firms. The faltering U.S. housing market and a rise in defaults and foreclosures, particularly among low-end borrowers, has whipsawed global stock and bond markets, led to the dismissal of Wall Street chiefs and resulted in losses by banks, hedge funds and securities firms."
One potential angle is whether real loans were used to create mortgage securities. Typically, a mortgage security might hold thousands of mortgages. Among other things, the Justice Department is likely to look at whether one mortgage was replicated across multiple securities as underwriters sought to meet high investor demand.
"On Jan. 17, the Florida Attorney General issued a subpoena to Countrywide. Among other things, the subpoena asks Countrywide to describe the standards it used to determine whether borrowers qualified for a prime, subprime or Alt-A mortgage and for no and low documentation loans. The subpoena -- which covers the period from Jan. 1, 2005, to the present -- also asks the company to explain how its underwriting standards may have changed over time. It also asks Countrywide for copies of "promotional advertisements, literature, booklets" and other materials aimed at subprime customers as well as for copies of any scripts or instructions given to Countrywide employees."
"The attorney general is "looking for information regarding whether or not consumers have been taken advantage of and whether or not any of these business practices may potentially violate Florida law," says a spokeswoman for Florida attorney general Bill McCollum. The attorney general is conducting "a widespread review of the mortgage industry," she says."

And our own dear (Michican) governor announced in her State-of-the-State address that she is introducing new oversight of the lending industry to help protect Michigan's citizens from fraudsters. This industry is about to get a 'protological exam... and they are not going to just use a magnifying glass...they're gonna bring a telescope.

Large Percentage of Emails Found Unusable in Court Cases
Citigroup Pays Up, Big Time, for E-Discovery Software
The customer wasn't identified by Autonomy, but insiders say that it's the global bank Citigroup. Autonomy bought Zantaz for $375 million in July, 2007. The company makes products for archiving, compliance and e-discovery. Desktop Legal Hold (DLH) enables customers to quickly identify, set aside and organize documents and emails pertinent to lawsuits. Could it be that Citigroup bought DLH to prep for the onslaught of lawsuits it is facing from investors and others over the sub-prime mortgage lending crisis? Hmmm...

Countrywide Tells Judge It 'Recreated' Letters
It's early in the year, but we agree with our friend Steve Teppler when he says this statement, from Countrywide's spokesman is an early contender for most obfuscatory spin of 2008: "A spokesman for the lender said: 'It is not Countrywide's policy to create or 'fabricate' any documents as evidence that they were sent if they had not been. We believe it will be shown in further discovery that the Countrywide bankruptcy technician who generated the documents at issue did so as an efficient way to convey the dates the escrow analyses were done and the calculations of the payments as a result of the analyses.'" English translation: It's not our custom to create or fabricate, except where we think no one will notice. In such instances, we will pile on the technical language in an attempt to blindside any inquiry. Also: "They were not generated to prove that they had been sent" Translation: They were generated to make people believe they were sent, not to prove they were sent. Jeez, can't you guys get it?
Amateur Time Hackers Play With Atomic Clocks at Home
Wired Magazine reports that with the end of the Cold War, and with telecommunications technology advancing rapidly, surplus stores and eBay have filled up with discarded precision time equipment once exclusive to government labs. Cesium clocks, rubidium clocks and even the occasional hydrogen maser can be had for less than a decent laptop. A recent search on eBay turned up an HP 5061B cesium standard for sale for $2,000, and you can get a telecom surplus rubidium standard for less than $400. Some of this equipment costs upwards of $50,000 new. Their access to once-forbidden technology lets the time hackers play in a realm of precision that underpins the modern technological world. A select few, like Tom Van Baak, have started exploring the underpinnings of the universe.

Law.com Posts Great List of E-Discovery Blogs and Tools
Robert J. Ambrogi, writer for Law Technology News writes in a two-part column that no lawyer today can afford to ignore electronic data discovery. "No matter the case, digital data is likely to be implicated. That means lawyers urgently need to understand EDD and keep abreast of developments in the field." In the first column, he looks at some of the more useful Web sites for learning about and keeping current with this essential area of practice. In the second, he surveys blogs about e-discovery and look at some vendor sites that include useful resources. Both are great bookmarks for any of you out there who are trying to catch the tiger-by-its-tail that is modern E-discovery.

The Top Five E-Discovery Cases of 2007
As the one year anniversary of the amended Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) approaches, our friends at Kroll Ontrack (one of the industry's largest providers of electronic discovery and forensics services) laid out a breakdown of important electronic discovery opinions from 2007, as well as a list of the year's top five most significant discovery cases. Focusing primarily on interpreting the new FRCP, common topics reoccurring in judicial opinions issued in 2007 included: the importance of early case conferences, the accessibility of electronically stored information, and what to do when parties fail to play by the new rules. Among the five: the historic Lorraine v Markel decision, in which the Magistrate judge ruled emails inadmissable as evidence because of questions as to their authenticity. The court held there is a five-point test in determining the admissibility of electronic evidence. ESI must be 1) relevant, 2) authentic, 3) not hearsay or admissible hearsay, 4) the "best evidence", and 5) not unduly prejudicial. The court stated, "it can be expected that electronic evidence will constitute much, if not most, of the evidence used in future motions practice or at trial, [and] counsel should know how to get it right on the first try."
Establishing Authenticity: Is Hashing Enough?
ProofSpace technology wonk Jacques Francouer writes "There has been extensive discussion and use precedent in the legal and security fields around hashing, its use and its value--real and perceived. Even though its robustness and usefulness are incontrovertible in the security world, hashing's perceived value in the legal field (for the purpose of establishing the authenticity of Electronically Stored Information) could benefit from some clarification. For a hash to be secure and useful for legal applications, there must be some additional mechanism to protect and preserve the unique association between the data that is hashed, a trusted time datum, and the original hash result."

CERN Research Paper Urges "Checksums Everywhere"
Error levels in modern magnetic storage are very, very low. Unfortunately, personal hard drives are now very, very big--and that means you're virtually guaranteed to have multiple corrupted files on your disk, just by virtue of its sheer size. That according to a recent study out of CERN/IT, the IT group at the world's largest particle physics laboratory. According to the executive summary, "We have established that low level data corruptions exist and that they have several origins. The error rates are at the 10Exp-7 level, but with complicated patterns. To cope with the problem one has to implement a variety of measures on the IT part and also on the experiment side. Checksum mechanisms have to implemented and deployed everywhere."
ProofSpace Announces E-Discovery Framework
The worlds of Information Security and e-Discovery are coming together in a structured framework to encourage discussion among legal, security and records management professionals. Last week ProofSpace introduced the Information Security e-Discovery Framework (ISEF), a unique framework for discussing the specific role of information security before, during and after e-Discovery. The objective--bridge the gap between legal and security stakeholders. The result--a more effective response and successful outcome to an e-Discovery process. Soon a discussion white paper will be released, explaining how the ISEF was created and how it can be used. This release will also initiate a comment and review period on the ISEF. View the announcement PDF here.
The Next Big E-Discovery Challenge: Authenticity
Up until now, most of eDiscovery has been basic "blocking & tackling". That meant a lot of cataloging and indexing of data, records retention work, legal holds, destruction policy establishment, and deploying "vaulting" technologies. But the future costs and benefits of eDiscovery will likely pivot on something much different: how you handle authenticity challenges used as a negotiating tactic in a lawsuit.

In order for an organization to maximize the business value from its investment in the creation of corporate information (e.g., creation of IP or proprietary data) it must "unleash" its data to make it available to the right people at the right time anywhere.
A strategy to "lock" up its information in an attempt to preserve its authenticity is just a bad strategy against the best interest of the company. There are "content-level" protections (rights management for confidentiality and control and digital seals for authenticity) that enable the "free" movement of data while effectively mitigating the risks.

Publicity-shy Sedona "Working Group One" Meets in Hilton Head
Mark Reichenbach writes in his blog about the very quiet star chamber gathering last week at Hilton Head, South Carolina for the Sedona Conference Working Group One annual meeting. He writes, "Before you ask, there will be no blogging from Sedona, er, Hilton Head. It doesn't work that way." Earlier in his post, he reports "Analogous to the Paris Air Show and its relation to the spy community, Sedona's annual meeting brings together a special combination of the brightest and best in the e-discovery legal community... make no mistake, there will be new work product teed-up for discussion, and you should understand that even though the dialog 'stays in Sedona' the fruits of the group's collective effort don't." Past publications from the influential group can be found here.

Joel, I can appreciate the "link love" between blogs, and thank you for linking on my blog entry re: Sedona meeting in Hilton Head.
I am not sure if I'd ever say Sedona was "Publicity-shy" - more I'd say it's about encouraging dialogue, "unvarnished" if you will, in order to bring about the best dialogue will offer. "Star Chamber" is also not a quote that should be attributed to me.
Best regards and good luck with your blog. - On the Mark

Thanks Mark, I made the correction re: Star Chamber.
Your blog has been a source of great information, I'm sure there will be much more "link loving" in the future.

Cargoes Stolen with Counterfeit Electronic Release Documents
The International Transport Intermediaries Club (ITIC) warned members that misreleases of valuable container-ship cargos are becoming a major factor in claims by principals against their agents, and claimed that carelessness in dealing with telex releases has contributed to these losses. "Telex release" is the industry term for the release of cargo at one port when the original bill of lading has been surrendered at another. Today, despite its name, the telex release is almost always made by email. There have been multiple accounts of telex releases (emails) received by discharge port agents which have been manipulated to appear as though they have originated from the load port agent, and authorizing the release of cargoes and confirming that freight has been received, when it has not. ITIC is now recommending that agents verify the authenticity of messages before releasing cargo.

Hi Joel, What a story! Fraud will always exist simply - where the money is.
As a prudent and responsible organization required to exercise a minimum level of due care, you would think this kind of problem would be quickly mitigated given the mature content assurance technologies available to effectively solve the problem (i.e., Digital Signatures and Digital Seals of Authenticity).
Is it considered forgetful, careless or negligent not to deploy readily available technologies and best practices that are already well embodied in standards?
They are now fully aware of the problem.

Iron Mountain Buys e-Discovery Software Provider Stratify
Byte and Switch reported last week that Iron Mountain will shell out $158 million in cash to buy e-discovery vendor Stratify Inc. "Customers have been asking us for this... It's a white-hot market, by all accounts a billion-dollar market... We're seeing estimates between $4 billion and $12 billion in the next few years," said Iron Mountain president and COO Bob Brennan during last week's earnings conference call. Stratify's applications sift and search email, scanned documents, and electronic files for specific items, and they also map out relationships among threads and document groups, which attorneys can review when preparing for litigation. Iron Mountain will probably also attempt to leverage Stratify's Digital Repository to enhance its information retrieval services.
Universal Data Retention Specification Demoed... without Data Integrity Safeguards?
Computerworld reported last week on a new "universal" data retention spec that "divorces data from the applications that created it". While the article doesn't really offer much detail on how the technology actually works, the really interesting omission is any mention of security or control mechanisms in the proposed protocol. Brings to mind an early large-scale XML implementation at a large financial services firm that a ProofSpace staffer worked on in a previous life, where nobody gave access control a moment's thought... and the systems ended up being wide open to anyone who got their hands on the data definitions.
Vendors such as EMC Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co., Sun Microsystems Inc. and Vignette Corp. demoed their software interfaces for the new specification that offers a universal way for users to store and access unchanging or fixed data regardless of the application that created it. The specification, eXtensible Access Method (XAM), was demonstrated at Storage Networking World last week for the first time. The specification was announced last spring and is expected to be presented to the American National Standards Institute for review as a standard early next year.

Finally a move in the right direction! At this time the "system is smart" and the "data is dumb." When the data leaves the system or it is used by another application it loses much of its context or utility. Now if the "data was smart" and the "system was dumb," data could travel across systems and applications and still preserve its value. A step in the right direction indeed. Will vendors embrace this direction remains to be seen.

Chain-of-Custody... Or Chain-Saw?
"Exploring the issues surrounding chain of custody for electronic evidence may sound like a great cure for insomnia... But a string of recent judicial sanctions over chain of custody for electronic evidence has made the dry issue a hot topic: One that can make or break your case." In other words, unless you can prove chain-of-custody and data integrity for any electronic documents that your lawyers are trying to submit into evidence, you're going to find yourself up a legal creek without a paddle. That's what Christy Burke writes in this month's Law.com Legal Technology column. "...in the next two to four years, most or all states will be creating legislation with real teeth when it comes to keeping scrupulous security measures to secure digital evidence and ensure a proper chain of custody."

The role (or impact) of Information Security in the e-Discovery process seems to be a very unknown at this time. When I speak to CISOs about their role in e-Discovery their response ranges from "what," "nothing at all" to "I do not even know who is my GC/LC." That is, there seems to be no bridge between Legal and Security or understanding of how one can help (or hinder) the other.
Your article was helpful in identifying some of the roles of security during the discovery process. However, I would make the assertion that security considerations and measure should start way ahead of the notice of litigation. For example, at time of creation, time of corporate record declaration, and time of contract execution. In fact, no matter how secure you make a record from the time it is identified in the e-Discovery process, if falsification or manipulation occurred before this point you have just secured an unauthentic record giving it the "appearance" of integrity.
Necessary but insufficient!

Storage on Trial
What is a good data-retrieval plan worth to a company caught up in litigation? For Morgan Stanley, $15 million. The average Fortune 500 company has over 150 lawsuits in active litigation at any given time. As document retrieval requests from the legal department start piling up, IT departments are just starting to realize how big and scary the eDiscovery monster really is, with retrieval eating up increasing amounts of IT time and budget.
In 2006, Morgan agreed to pay the hefty $15M fine to resolve an investigation by U.S. regulators into its failure to retain e-mail messages. E-mail played a central role in the (later overturned) $1.58 billion judgment in favor of Ronald Perelman in the case of MorganStanley v. Coleman. Perelman is a billionaire investor who said he was defrauded by the firm over the sale of a business. The judge, frustrated by Morgan Stanley's inability to produce e-mails demanded by Perelman's lawyers (the firm said backup tapes had been overwritten), took the unusual step of shifting the burden of proof to Morgan Stanley, so that the firm had to prove its innocence.

I sat mesmerized throughout this thing. Rourke is almost unwatchable - in a good way.
Tomei, for a 45-year-old, had guts to put on a show, and she did it admirably, both in body and mind. She obviously worked her ass off - literally - to get in shape to work her ass off.
As with JCVD, both of these guys put their money where their mouths were. While JCVD obviously didn't earn the credits, it did put an actor out on a limb for all to see and judge in a faux docudrama.
I left both of these movies exhausted and exhilarated.
And that's all I want to see of art imitating life for this year.
Any good road movies coming up?

Studies show that people who snack after 8 p.m. have higher body mass indexes (BMIs). But the secret is, if you must have your late night snack: make it a light one. Snacking on fruit or a few pretzels after dinner isn't likely to pack on the pounds, but eating a second helping of pasta before bed will make the scale tip. Also, try not to eat within a few hours before lying down because your metabolism slows down when your body is tired and relaxed.
Wake up with a jolt of energy? Good! Morning is when you can eat a bit heavier and better digest proteins. Mixing a good source of protein with come complex carbohydrates will give you the energy you need to start your day and burn off calories.
When it's lunchtime: think healthy. Your metabolism is still working at a good speed so you can still consume a good amount of food, but try to eat salads and vegetables. Eating a heavy lunch can make you feel more lethargic as the afternoon goes on and slow down the metabolism sooner.
Your afternoon snack should be something that can give you a slight boost. This is when you can munch on a few almonds, a few spoonfuls of yogurt or even have a little piece of dark chocolate (yes, I give you permission!).
Dinnertime is when your metabolism is beginning to slow down and rest so keep your portions small and carbs minimal. Best to have your biggest meal earlier in the day. Hopefully you'll be full after dinner, but if a craving starts to kick in remember to stick with the fruit basket.

NEW BRUNSWICK — During a chase through an alley last September, a New Brunswick police officer shot and killed a man, sparking protests and accusations of police brutality.
Nearly a year later, the department's internal affairs office has found Officer Brad Berdel did only one thing wrong the night Barry Deloatch, 46, was killed: he wasn't carrying his pepper spray.
The report, released today, recommended disciplinary action but Berdel has instead resigned from the force and, according to the department, has applied for disability pension.
Officer Daniel Mazan, who was with Berdel that night last September, was cleared of any wrongdoing, the internal affairs report said, and he will return to active duty.
Berdel and Mazan had been placed on administrative leave immediately after the Sept. 22 shooting, said Capt. J.T. Miller, a police spokesman. A grand jury cleared the two officers in May.
Barry Deloatch's son, Barry Gavin, referred questions to the family's attorney Patricia Bombelyn who said she had only seen the press release announcing the internal affairs decision, not the report itself.
"The press release fails to reveal what, if any, corrective action is being taken to ensure New Brunswick residents aren't at risk of this kind of behavior in the future," Bombelyn said. "That's what we asked of the prosecutor in May and it's clear that question has not yet been answered.
"There is nothing in that press release that gives anyone assurances that the police are being properly trained monitored and supervised," she said.
The police department says Berdel, 32, has since filed for an unspecified disability pension with the state. But the state Department of the Treasury said Berdel had not filed applications for any kind of pension as of this afternoon.
The events of Sept. 22 have been much discussed in New Brunswick. For a week after the shooting, there were daily demonstrations and several protesters were arrested. Residents stormed City Council meetings and even called for the resignation of Mayor James Cahill.
What exactly happened and whether deadly force was necessary remains a point of contention despite the grand jury's findings and internal affair's report.
Here is what is certain: It was just after midnight. Berdel and Mazan approached three men who had just come out of an alleyway. Police ordered them to show their hands. Deloatch did not comply, and kept one hand behind his back, the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office has said. When Mazan drew his weapon and repeated the order, Deloatch turned and ran, prompting the officers to chase him on foot.
According to police, when Mazan tackled Deloatch, the suspect turned and began attacking the officer with a 2-foot piece of wood. Berdel ordered Deloatch to stop and then, fearing for his partner's life, fired a bullet into Deloatch's chest, piercing his aorta.
Family members said a witness told them Deloatch was shot while running from police.
Police later learned Deloatch was unarmed, though a subsequent toxicology report revealed cocaine and heroin in his blood, according to the county prosecutor.
Berdel joined the New Brunswick force in 2005, according to state Treasury records. His salary increased significantly in the last few years — he made $79,000 in 2009, $89,000 in 2010, $99,000 in 2011, and had made $50,834 through June, despite being on leave, the Treasury records show.
Another police shooting is still being investigated by authorities. On Jan. 31, 19-year-old Victor Rodriguez was allegedly carrying a replica handgun when he was shot several times, which left him paralyzed and in a wheelchair. He filed a federal lawsuit last month over the shooting.
Star-Ledger staff writers Dan Goldberg and Tom Haydon contributed to this report.
• Family of man killed by New Brunswick police officers meet with Middlesex County prosecutor
• Grand jury in New Brunswick fatal police shooting case does not bring charges against officers
• New Brunswick man fatally shot by police was beating officer with stick, lawyer says

Playworld announces winners of its "Write to Play" playground contest
LEWISBURG, PA (July 17, 2013) – Playworld, a leading manufacturer of imaginative playground and fitness equipment, today announced Parker's Woods Park in Mason City, Iowa and St. Norbert School in Northbrook, Illinois, are the winners of its "Write to Play" playground contest, which launched in May.
The two communities received the most votes on Playworld' Facebook page, where the contest was administered. To enter, both winners had to complete an online entry form including a brief essay explaining why they wanted to bring play to their local community. They were also required to upload a photo of where the new playground would be installed. Once finalists were selected, those that "liked" Playworld' Facebook page were able to vote for their favorite community and/ or school.
"I want to bring play to Mason City, Iowa because I feel we need to show children that exercise can be fun at an early age," wrote Sarah Swegle in her essay submitting Parker's Woods Park. "Providing a place for children to exercise and families to socialize would benefit everyone. Our Parker's Woods Park is one of the few parks on Mason City's west side and it is severely lacking in playground equipment for our 2‐5 year old children. So many children in the area would benefit from safe, modern play equipment!"
Stacy Seiden's essay nominating St. Norbert School highlighted Kyle Caraher, a 17-year-old varsity football player who lost his life in a car accident last summer. "To honor the memory of Kyle and his child-like charm, the Caraher family founded Kyle's Dreaming Tree. The project is raising funds to build a new playground where Kyle attended elementary school. The idea for the playground came to his mom, Karen Caraher, after she read an article in the school newspaper commemorating Kyle. Searching through his belongings after his death, Kyle's friends found architectural plans to build a tree house in his yard. The drawing accompanied a story about Kyle in the school paper. When Karen saw the picture, inspiration struck. The family chose to focus on Kyle's elementary school partially because of his lighthearted personality. The school also very much needs a new playground. The current one consists mostly of concrete with a few older pieces of play equipment."
"We congratulate the two winners and commend all contest participants for their passion for play," said Jenn Harry, interactive media manager for Playworld. "We look forward to working with these two communities in the coming months to bring the transformative power of play to their area."
Other contest finalists include:
Elementary School in Dorchester, MA
MCDC Riverside Park, Moline, IL
Police Athletic League, Pottstown, PA
Lincoln Middle School, Greensboro, NC

You may not be catching an abundant amount of fleas because:
- The population of fleas will vary from week to week
- You don't have a bad infestation at this time, but leave your flea trap on 24 hours a day as a preventative measure. Catching a new batch of fleas before they can reproduce is a very effective way to control flea problems.
Directions for Using Safer® Brand Flying Insect Killer:
- Shake well before each use.
- Hold Safer® Ant and Roach Killer upright and spray insects directly to kill on contact.
- Treat all areas infested with insects. Spray surfaces until wet, paying special attention to cracks, crevices, areas around drains and pipes, around appliances, along baseboards, and any other locations where insects may be hiding.
- This product is non-staining to most surfaces. Do not use on surfaces that may be damaged by water.

I want to thank you for selling the non toxic 'Victor' brand flea trap. It is AWESOME!! With fleas still in the house since August and me with two 18 year old dogs I have been fighting fleas with every non chemical product I could find. After setting them in every room they started trapping fleas right away. I have 40 fleas in one trap in just a few days! Thank you again for such a great Christmas gift!! Be Blessed in all of your business ventures!Date published: 2014-01-10Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Yes, Yes, Yes! We moved into a house with a large flea infestation (dog and 3 cats). It sounded gimmicky but we said what the heck and bought 3 traps. The very first night we collected, next to our bed, almost 40 fleas. We amused ourselves by hitting the carpet and watching the buggers jump into the trap. That was 20 years ago. Fifteen years ago, another house, same problem. We bombed the house first, then used the traps. We still have 3 cats and no flea problems but we keep the traps ready to go anyway. They really do the job.Date published: 2012-06-17Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Amazing FleaTrap Thank you so much for this product. There has been unbelievable flea infestation in one room of this older house and 2 indoor cats live there. Have tried the boric acid and many other sprays, and then I found Safer® Brand and this fleatrap. I have amazing pictures of proof of how effective this isand will continue to use them.

We spent hundreds of dollars on sprays for the house and yard, flea treatments for the cats and dog, as well as flea shampoos yet we continue to see lots of fleas on the animals and several on our children (ages 3 and 9 mths). Finally after searching online for flea prevention options and discussing the issue with our vet, we found this product. We received them in just a few days, began using them immediately and was able to catch dozens of fleas within hours. It works best during the dark of night since that is when the fleas tend to jump the most but it continues to work all day. After a couple of days, we didn't see any more fleas on either of the children or the animals. I am so glad we ordered this product. This is the best flea trap and we don't have to use any more chemicals.Date published: 2011-08-08Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from The Ultimate Flea Trap My cat sleeps on my bed and I noticed a few flea bites on me.

Saturday was media day for the BCS National Championship. For the uninitiated, media day is when the important people – people like Notre Dame's Manti Te'o and Brian Kelly and Alabama's AJ McCarron and Nick Saban – sit on platforms and pose for the cameras and get serious about Monday night's game for 20 minutes and spend the rest of the day laughing and smiling and answering questions about the stuffed animals they grew up with.
Just kidding on that last bit. Sort of.
The other players and assistant coaches wander around, and eventually you start hearing great stories about people you haven't heard much about yet. Here are some photos and stories from media day, along with some of those stories.
Meet Jeremy Pruitt
You don't get to be one of the top defenses in the country without a great secondary coach, and Alabama's Jeremy Pruitt certainly fits the bill. He's great enough, in fact, that he's accepted the defensive coordinator position at Florida State, but he's stuck around to finish the job of trying to win a national title.
Meet Jesse Williams
Crimson Tide nose guard Jesse Williams is 6-foot-4, weighs 320 pounds, and is covered in ink, including a tattoo on his hand that says, "I stopped checking under my bed for monsters when I realized the monster was me." Williams hails from Australia and was both a rugby and a basketball standout.
Read more about Williams at ESPN »
Notre Dame defensive end Stephon Tuitt's football career started with a 4-hour walk in the Georgia heat. He wanted to attend the first day of summer conditioning camp with the Monroe Area High School team, and didn't realize how far the school was from his house. He missed camp that day, but through determination, wound up making the team and will play for a national championship Monday.
Reed more about Tuitt on ESPN.com »
Meet Gunner Kiel
You've heard plenty this season about Everett Golson, Notre Dame's redshirt freshman quarterback. His backup is true freshman Gunner Kiel, who was all set to go to LSU, but decided at the last moment to head to South Bend to join the Fighting Irish.
Meet Manti Te'o
OK, so you've heard plenty about Manti Te'o so far. But do you know why the Notre Dame linebacker is playing for a college title instead of in the NFL? It's because he's more about experience than money.
Meet Eddie Lacy
You've probably also heard a bunch about Alabama running back Eddie Lacy. In his position, though, he knows he has a lot to live up to when his name is tied in to the phrase "Crimson Tide running back."
Video of Lacy talking about the Tide at NOLA.com »

Here are some media day photos and videos to whet your appetite.

Studies have shown that ALS patients who attend a multidisciplinary ALS clinic do better long term and enjoy an improved quality of life. They experience less infections and less incidence of pneumonias. They receive early interventions for ALS symptom management.
We spend time with our ALS patients during their clinic visits to understand their needs and to proactively monitor and manage their symptoms.
The ALS clinic staff works collaboratively to coordinate care not only for clinic days but also for the time in between clinic days.
For example, we help make arrangements for patients to meet with our clinic therapists outside of clinic. Also, we provide a bridge to medical experts, when needed, such as pulmonologists and ENT physicians, making referrals to experts who understand ALS and can respond without long wait periods.
Additionally, we work with OhioHealth Home Care, connecting families to this valuable resource for at-home care and assistive medical equipment.
In between clinic visits, bi-weekly, a nurse from The ALS Association of Central and Southern Ohio, affiliated with the clinic, calls the patient or caregiver for continuous monitoring of symptoms and needs.
We hold clinic twice a month on Fridays.
If you have questions or would like more information about the ALS Clinic, please call (614) 533-5613, or email [email protected].
OhioHealth Westerville Medical Campus
300 Polaris Parkway, Suite 2350
Columbus, Ohio 43082
OhioHealth ALS Clinic(614) 533-5613email [email protected]
Because our ALS clinic staff works closely with patients and their families to monitor disease progression, we are able to proactively respond to needs. This contributes to stabilizing and managing patients' symptoms at early onset, which in turn helps with quality of life.
Sharing resources with The ALS Association of Central and Southern Ohio allows ALS patients to receive a continuity of personalized care from nurses they see at Association support groups and also at the OhioHealth ALS Clinic.
Having this important designation means the OhioHealth ALS Clinic meets a national standard of best-practice care in the management of ALS. It means persons with ALS and their families can be assured they are receiving evidence-based ALS care and treatment services — the very best standard of care — at the OhioHealth ALS Clinic.
The OhioHealth ALS Clinic plans to expand its offerings by incorporating an ALS research component to the clinic in the near future. With ALS research included as an offering to patients, the clinic will have the full complement of services necessary to apply for certification to become one of The ALS Association's Certified Centers of Excellence.

Artist and Illustrator Simon Roy was kind enough to hand furnish our team pages with these new incredible landing images. We caught up with Simon to find out about his journey and relationship with cycling;
I am from Montreal Canada, I am not a professional artist but I have been drawing my whole life. I have been a runner for a couple of years before I turned to cycling and I am very happy I did. When I was younger I was always drawing stuff (cars, clothing, shoes etc..) my dad was a cyclist but I never was interested to it. I started to post drawings on instagram for the #oneoftheseplease contest from rapha. I was impressed to see how much people liked my art and I won the contest. Some people even asked me if they could buy prints of my drawings. I cant believe it.

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Chris and Dolly, the guys from Grand Boucle, when they were in London few months back and I have to say, their prints are very very well made, curated to the smallest detail.
Have a look at more designs here.

We've been stalling on this for no other reason than we've been out riding our bikes… but the Sam Dunn collaborative print is now available over on the web-store. 25 only.

Continuing our endeavors to work with local artisans and our love for a good print we're releasing two new prints to The 5th Store.
In the first we continue our collaborative work with illustrator Sam Dunn who produced our tin mugs. Sam's style is so unique we literally gave her a blank canvas. Sam attributed us a Stag as our spirit animal and gave a nod to each of our current locations in Glasgow, London and NYC.
Once again we worked with Ant Oram on a 5th colorway of his Velodrome print, reflecting our view as riders he flipped the perspective to show the continuous left that we all face. Signed and numbered.
Both prints will be available exclusively at the Vulpine Fete on the 14th July and if any remain will be offered up on The 5th Store straight after.
As always these were lovingly hand screened by the good people of Whiteduck.

Duh i was expecting that but it has been 3 months and df and i cannot have sex bc it burns so bad! i had a natural delivery and got an episiotomy. evrytime we try i can feel where my stiches were. only his tip goes in. Is this normal? im worried i wont be abe to have sex for a long time.
no, its not normal. you may have been stitched to tight and developed scar tissue. That happened with my first. the doc recommended a cream.. think it was an estrogen cream and perennial massages. I was breastfeeding so I didn't use the cream, but we did do the massages and that helped stretch the scar tissue a bit.

Frightened women are in labour for longer
Labour can last a lot longer for women with a fear of childbirth than those who are not afraid of the prospect. This is according to new research published in BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, which also suggested there are many reasons why females have concerns about the process of bringing a new life into the world.
It was shown that while it typically took a mother without fear 6.46 hours to give birth, those scared by the prospect spent around eight hours in labour.
Norwegian researchers noted there are many explanations behind apprehension of this type, such as the woman being a young age, it being her first time with-child, pre-existing psychological issues, a history of abuse or lack of social support.
John Thorp, deputy editor in chief at BJOG, noted: "Women with fear of childbirth are more likely to need obstetric intervention and this needs to be explored further so that obstetricians and midwives can provide the appropriate support and advice."
Dr Jennifer Wild, Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Senior Lecturer Institute of Psychiatry, commented: "This is a fascinating study that further supports the link between our fearful thoughts and their effects on our bodies.
"It may be possible to work with women to modify their anxious thoughts before childbirth to reduce the effects of anxiety during labour. Organisations such as Mumsnet and the National Childbirth Trust will be very interested in these findings and may also be able to offer more support."

The spook-tacular schedule captured the essence of All Hallow's Eve all across the borough. Among the haunted happenings was a Halloween festival on the South Shore, a scary theater tour and movie at the St. George Theatre and a dinner-dance hosted by the Richmond County American Legion in West Brighton.
The seventh annual Halloween Extravaganza at Bloomingdale Park -- or BOO-mingdale Park, as it was described-- served up delight and fright for children of all ages, with pumpkin picking, a hay maze, pony and inflatable rides, games, spin and sand art, craft projects and temporary tattoos.
The Monster Mash Band entertained the costume-clad crowd, and refreshments were available.
Borough President James P. Molinaro and Councilman Vincent Ignizio (R-South Shore) were the extravaganza's hosts.
The St. George Theatre became a house of horrors, as the 81-year-old structure was the site of a haunted theater tour. "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" was the featured production during an afternoon session and "Dracula," starring Bela Lugosi, played in the dark of night.
Lastly, the Richmond County American Legion gathered for a "Halloween/Octoberfest" dinner-dance that was also a fundraiser for Fang Wong, who is running for national commander.

I'm used to shooting mule deer at 150 yds or less in the high country, but it is pretty likely that i'll have to shoot a long shot (300 yds or so) this year and these deer are small. What i have to work with right now are 100gr hornady softpoints, IMR 4064 powder, and a good ole Model 70 Winchester. However, I am completely open to other powders and bullet weights... any of you guys have a good long range load to share?

The area high school bands showcased at the Dec. 1 concert at the Chagrin Falls High School Performing Arts Center lived up to that billing.
Aspiring rockers from across the region comprised the 14 bands touting names like Velocity, Calvin & Frankie and Techn!color, basking in the spotlight as their personal cheering sections rooted them on. The more than 50 students, from eight schools including Chagrin Falls, Solon, Hawken, and St. Ignatius, took impressive command of the elaborately lit stage to deliver their take on hits from artists like The Black Keys, Poison, Van Morrison and Sublime. However, the night wasn't all about covers, as plenty of original songs were belted, like Ladies and Gentlemen's "Burn the Threadline" and Lack of Focus' "In My Head."
This year's event saw a venue upgrade from the Chagrin Falls Intermediate School Auditorium to the CFHS PAC. It also featured an added component of band interviews, as well as a record number of performers.
"This is the 6th annual show, and we were thrilled to move it to the CFHS PAC. It was a great setting for the show, and in some cases, the nicest house that some of the bands have ever played in," event co-chair Brad Welch said. "We had over 50 musicians from eight schools, more than any previous show. We work hard to make it all about the kids, and are already brewing some new ideas for next year."

I work in an academic research laboratory. Many of the PIs and RAs within the lab write a fair amount of Matlab code. I am trying to come up with a good way to make sharing our code with each other easier.
For example, say I write a function that I think someone else may find useful someday. It would be nice to stick that code in a centralized place for others to find. I envision that over time, this place becomes a database of many useful functions and scripts. Basically, it would become similar to an in-house MATLAB toolbox.
It would be great if this database were searchable, easy to navigate, and low maintenance such that as students/researchers come and go, the database remains useful for new people.
I've thought of a few ways to implement this. 1) Shared folder on a network drive. 2) Dropbox 3) Wiki/Website 4) Webtool such as Blackboard or Sakai.
Has anyone set up something similar to this within their respective organizations? If so, I would love to get your opinion on the best way to move forward. Any insights or thoughts about this topic are welcome.
Regards, Justin
Thanks everyone for the detailed and thoughtful answers. I think we'll probably go with simplicity and just used a shared network drive and enforce strict naming conventions with a common prefix, author initials, and version numbers, along with detailed file headers.
No products are associated with this question.
We all use a shared network drive that is added to the path on everyone's MATLAB. Every function in the shared drive has a common prefix so that we know that the function is a shared one and also so that none of the shared functions inadvertently masks a local user's function. This system works pretty well.
I agree it's not a trivial problem.
We use an svn repository, others in our collaboration use git. IMHO the differences are not worth the bandwidth used to argue about it.
And we use more than one flavor of Wiki to describe the code. Those differences are even less worthy of bandwidth.
I wish there was something similar to Javadoc that would go through a directory tree and produce html of all the documentation.
Matlab's Publish function is pretty cool but I haven't figured out how to do it on "everything".
We use a version controlled repository, stored on a central server.
Same with us. I don't have a path to the server version though, like Matt does. I keep a local copy on my hard drive and have a path to my local copy. Every once in a while I update my local copy from the repository.
Same here.
Of course a network folder containing the M-files is very useful due to its simplicity. Matlab's LOOKFOR, HELP and DOC command helps to keep the overview in a way Matlab users are familiar with already.
It will be far more complicated to maintain the code: What happens if somebody developed a function under Matlab 6.5, leaves the company and some of the functions are not supported by modern Matlab versions anymore? You cannot remove the function, because you do not know who is using it. You cannot update the function in general, because replacing outdated commands by new ones cannot be guaranteed to have the exactly same behavior.
Therefore you need a standardized and really exhaustive documentation for each function. To get a rough overview to the occurring problems, download 20 arbitrary submissions from the FEX and try to run them. Then select 20 files from the 50 contributors with the highest ratings. Even in the later case you will fail.

Near Bath, Somersetshire, England, was founded at Douai, Flanders, under the patronage of St. Gregory the Great, in 1605 by the Venerable John Roberts , first prior, and some other English monks who had received the habit and taken vows in the Spanish Benedictine Congregation. In 1611 Dom Philip de Caverel, Abbot of Saint Vaast's at Arras, built a monastery for the community in Douai, and consequently is revered as its founder. For some years the foundation was embroiled in attacks from without, and also in disputes as to a union with other English Benedictines, all of which were settled in 1633 by the Bull "Plantata" of Urban VIII.
From the first a school or college for lay pupils, sons of English Catholic gentry, has been an integral part of the institution. This undertaking, conducted on traditional English public school lines, has always absorbed much of the energies of the community, whose other chief external work has consisted in supplying various missions or parishes in England. When Charles II established for his queen a Catholic chapel royal at St. James's palace, the community to serve it was supplied from St. Gregory's at Douai, and certain relics and church-plate then presented are still in existence at Downside. On the outbreak of the French Revolution the school was disbanded and the monks put in prison, where they remained nearly two years. At length in March, 1795, they were allowed to proceed to England where an asylum was supplied by Sir Edward Smythe, fifth Baronet, a former pupil, who lent his Shropshire seat of Acton Burnell to his old masters for use as a monastery and school., In 1814 the establishment was moved to Mount Pleasant, Downside, a small manor-house with sixty-six acres of land, bought for £7000, largely the savings of the economy of the previous nineteen years. In 1823 Dr. Baines, Vicar Apostolic of the Western District, proposed to the community that they should abandon the monastic state and become a kind of diocesan seminary under himself. This extraordinary suggestion being rejected, the bishop applied to the Holy See for the suppression of the monastery on the ground of some alleged flaw in its canonical erection ; after much litigation the pope decided in favour of the monks on every point. Since then the establishment has increased steadily in size and importance, new buildings being added in 1823, 1853, and almost continually since 1870. In 1899 Pope Leo XIII raised the priory to abbatial rank, the forty-fifth prior, Dom Edmund Ford, being elected first abbot, on whose resignation in 1906, Dom Cuthbert Butler was chosen to succeed him.
Six monks of St. Gregory's have died martyrs for the Catholic Faith and are already pronounced Venerable, viz. Dom George Gervaise, martyred 1608; Dom John Roberts, the first prior, 1610; Dom Maurus Scot, 1612; Dom Ambrose Barlow, 1641; Dom Philip Powell, 1646; and Brother Thomas Pickering, 1679. Besides these the community has given to the Church three archbishops, Dom Bede Polding and Dom Bede Vaughan, the first two archbishops of Sydney, New South Wales; and Dom Bernard Ullathorne, first bishop of Birmingham and titular Archbishop of Cabasa, well known as an ascetical writer. Also six bishops, Dom Philip Ellis, Dom Laurence York, and Dom Gregory Sharrock, all three successively Vicars Apostolic of the Western District; more recently Dom Placid Morris, Vicar Apostolic of Maritius and for many years assistant to Cardinal Wiseman ; Dom Joseph Brown, first Bishop of Newport and Menevia ; and Dom Henry Davis, Bishop of Maitland, New South Wales. From many other notable names may be mentioned Dom Serenus Cressy , author of the "Church History of Brittany"; Dom John Huddlestone, who was instrumental in saving Charles II after Worcester and reconciled him to the Church on his death-bed; the Abbot Sweeney, the well-known preacher; Dom Jerome Vaughan, founder of the Abbey of Fort Augustus, N. B.; Dom Aidan Gasquet the historian, Abbot President of the English Benedictines and also head of the Pontifical Commission for the revision of the Vulgate. Among the alumni of St. Gregory's School, though not monks in the community, were Bishop Charles Walmesley , who consecrated Dr. Carroll the first Bishop of Baltimore, U.S.A.; John Steevens, editor of Dugdale's "Monasticon"; Henry Carey, author of "God save the King"; Sir John Day, one of the best known English judges; and Bishop Patrick J. Donahue, of Wheeling, U.S.A.
The abbey buildings now consist of a monastery for about fifty monks ; school buildings for 1340 boarders; guest-house, the original building bought in 1814; and the abbey church, for exterior view of which see T HE C ATHOLIC E NCYCLOPEDIA, I, 14. The last-named building consists at present of transepts, choir, and fifteen side chapels only; it is 230 feet long, and 70 feet high internally Even in its unfinished state it ranks as one of the finest modern Gothic buildings in England, and contains the tomb of the Irish martyr, Venerable Oliver Plunket, Archbishop of Armagh. The community numbers eighty-four choir monks ; there are no lay brothers. About half the monks work on the twenty-two missions or parishes in various parts of England, which are dependent on the abbey. Besides the school attached to the monastery, Downside has two other schools at Ealing, London, W, and at Gorey, Co. Wexford, Ireland ; a house of studies for its monks at Cambridge University and another for students in London, near the British Museum. The "Downside Review", a periodical now in its twenty-eighth year, devoted chiefly to local, monastic, and liturgical interests, and in which are many articles of value, is published every four months. The "Downside Masses" and "Downside Motets" indicate the abbey's interest in the revival of polyphonic music; a similar interest in Christian art being shown in the "Downside Prints", a series of small devotional pictures reproduced from ancient masters. Attached to the abbey are the titular Abbacies of Glastonbury and St. Alban's, and the cathedral priories of Canterbury, Bath, Coventry, and Norwich. The arms of Downside are: Or a cross moline gules; the abbot's seal bears an effigy of Bl. Richard Whiting, martyr, the last abbot of the neighbouring Abbey of Glastonbury .
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - Pittsburgh's troubles started when it was announced that star running back Ray Graham wouldn't play, but having the senior may not have made that big of a difference.
Graham was held out due to a hamstring injury. Freshman Rushel Shell started and was held to 79 yards on 25 carries (3.2 yards per carry) as the Ole Miss defense held Pitt to just 81 yards on the ground in a 38-17 during Saturday's BBVA Compass Bowl, which had an announced record crowd of 59,135.
"It doesn't affect the game plan in the sense that our runs, we were trying to going to get the best runs we could to whoever needed it," Pitt head coach Paul Chryst said. "You're never quite sure, but a couple of days before, I had a sense that he wasn't going to play."
Ole Miss held Pitt quarterback Tino Sunseri to 185 yards on 16 of 32 completions. Sunseri, the son of former Alabama assistant Sal and current Alabama safety Vinnie's brother, was sacked four times. His streak of 271 passes without an interception was snapped on the first drive, when Senquez Golson picked him off and returned it to the 23-yard line, setting up Ole Miss' first score.
Sunseri did throw two touchdown passes of 10 yards to Devin Street and 16 to Mike Shanahan, but the second came with Pittsburgh already down 38-10.
Ole Miss had 11 tackles for loss. The third quarter was the biggest struggle for Pitt, when it had just four yards rushing (on five attempts) and went 0-for-2 through the air. Ole Miss' time of possession outnumbered Pitt 11:43 to 3:17 during the quarter.
"We just couldn't get in a rhythm, probably because of their pressure," Shanahan said. "Three and outs puts the defense in a bad spot and puts the offense in a bad spot. We couldn't seem to get in good field position until that last drive (of the game), really, and it put us in a tough position."
Pitt finished 6-7 under first-year head coach Paul Chryst. He was Pitt's third head coach in three years, and first in that group to coach Pitt in the BBVA Compass Bowl. Dave Wannstedt was fired before Pitt won this bowl game two years ago (27-10 over Kentucky) and Todd Graham left before the Panthers lost last year (28-6 to SMU).
"We've got to prove that," Chryst said. "We did a lot of work, I know that. We've got to go earn whatever we get."

Subject: Labor Day storm
So many memories of the Labor Day Storm of 1998. The best memories are of the families in the neighborhood coming together.
My family had a generator in our motorhome, so the small refrigerator was used to store as much food as possible from several neighbors. This with a propane gas grill was the beginning of many meals being shared.
After trying to coordinate meals with several neighbors the chicken was left on the grill too long, thus a new recipe called "chainsaw chicken." To this day this invokes lots of laughs.
The kids were actually having creative play, no TV! Going to bed by 10 p.m. each night was also a treat - dark is really dark! No school and no electricity for a week. Learning to treasure our gas hot water tank. A new word, "derecho," was learned. Sunlight in our backyard where the trees shaded before. The sound of chainsaws all day long.
All in all the memories of the neighbors helping neighbors remove trees, share food, share time together are the ones we will remember most.

I was walking through town to get the bus, wearing dungarees, a Sonic the Hedgehog t-shirt and a pair of manky Converse, and some baldy 23-year-old dick went "Excuse me." I was deep in thoughts of Iain Banks and Dylan Moran:
To be honest I wish I'd said something scathing, but really, I was distracted.

As I was walking to school the other day, I had a little adventure…
A man accosted me on the street and started a conversation, which went like this:
Man: in his best sultry bedroom voice, "serious question."
Me: "what?"
Man: "has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?"
Me: "serious question."
Man: "what?"
Me: "has that ever worked for you?"
I walked off. He proceeded to follow me, calling me a "bitch," a "cunt" and so forth. He told me he just wanted to tell me how beautiful I am, I must be frigid, I must hate sex and, now, he's changed his mind and I'm ugly. I continue to ignore him and, finally, I see my chance–I duck into the school bookstore to escape. The last thing I hear as the door closes behind me is, "and yes, it has worked for me! All the time!" I tell the woman who works there, who I'm friendly with, what just happened. She says, "wait, hang on," and she describes him to me perfectly. She asks, "is that the guy?" I answer, "yes, absolutely." It turns out that he was in the school bookstore not 10 minutes ago, making passes against her and rubbing up against the books.

Walking towards the subway I see two guys eyeing me, but try to ignore them. Then I hear one of them say, "Hey baby, how you doin'? How you feelin'? COME SEE DADDY!" (impossible to put into words how creepy and disgusting that last part is.) I turn around to confront the guy. "How can you talk that way to someone you've never met before? I don't know you! Why don't you learn some manners? Why don't you go home and ask your mother to teach you some manners?" All he can manage during this tirade is to repeat "go away, aw, go away." Funny, he wanted my attention so badly a moment ago.
I turn and keep walking, but then remember my cell phone, so I go back to look for him. I spot him and his silent friend through a window, inside a small store. I step in and aim my camera at the back of his head. "Hey, loser!" He turns around and I snap his photo. He realizes, too late, what I'm trying to do. "Oh, no" he says, as he tries to step away, but there is no room to go anywhere. He says again, "go away, go away." I respond, "You're going on the internet, loser!" and walk out of the store.

Setback for Big Valley in 9-10 opener
BELLEVILLE – The Big Valley 9- and 10-year-old Little League all-stars couldn't overcome a disastrous eight-run third inning, dropping their District 5 opener 11-1 to State College National Tuesday evening in Belleville.
The game ended after three and a half innings due to the 10-run rule.
Despite the lopsided score, it wasn't a wire-to-wire victory for State College, who played as the home team because it won the pregame coin flip. Big Valley struck first when Anson Wagner singled home Gale Daubert, who had doubled down the left field line. Wagner then took the mound for the locals and tossed a 1-2-3 bottom of the first.
Unfortunately, that inning was the only bright spot for Big Valley all evening. It went scoreless in the second when Juman Sung relieved starter Evan Martin after just 1 1/3 innings. Sung then led off the bottom half of the second with a double and scored when Tyler Brown singled up the middle.
Thomas Delahoy hit a single of his own to put two runners on with no outs. National then pulled off some base running trickery, sending Brown home when Wagner fired to second to try to cut down Delahoy's attempted steal. The throw to second and the ensuing throw home were both late, resulting in a 2-0 lead. State College pulled off the same feat again later in the inning to increase the lead to 3-0.
Big Valley simply had no answer for Sung. The burly right-hander pounded the strike zone and induced plenty of harmless ground balls when he wasn't fanning Big Valley batters. A scoreless top of the third set the stage for National's breakout bottom half.
Wagner lost his command of the strike zone and loaded the bases with no outs. Ryan Esh took over but struggled as well, walking two and hitting Adam Cooper with a pitch to force in three runs before finally recording an out when he sat Nick Kowalski down on strikes. Sean Adams followed with a sacrifice fly and Evan Martin brought home another run with an RBI single to left.
That brought up Sung, who was already 2-for-2 with a double. He added to his great day at the plate by launching a deep blast over the left field fence that scored three runs and brought the 10-run rule in to play.
Sung stranded Ian Hartzler on second in the top of the fourth to end the game. He finished 3-for-3 at the plate and was a triple shy of hitting for the cycle. He struck out three and only walked one in his 2 2/3 innings on the mound.
"He's the real deal," Big Valley manager Jason Yoder said of Sung. "He's definitely a great hitter up there."
It seemed throughout that it would have been a different game had Big Valley's pitchers been able to find the strike zone in the second and third innings.
"You definitely can't walk guys at the all-star level," Yoder said. "You gotta keep kids off the bases as much as you can, because you'll pay for it."
Yoder attributes many of his team's struggles to opening-round jitters.
"For being the first game, we showed we're capable of hitting the ball," he said. "Their hits found the holes, and our hits, we hit it right at them. So I'm feeling pretty good moving forward from here. It always takes a game to get some of the nerves out, so hopefully we got it all out and we're ready to move on and put this game in the past and go with it."
Big Valley, which had a bye in the first round, will play an elimination game Thursday at Nittany Valley.
Notes: Nittany Valley beat Bellefonte 3-1 in the first elimination game of the tournament. Both Northern Tier and Southern Tier teams are playing in the same bracket this year, and there was an odd number of entries (13), leading to the unusual bracket structure. … State College National also sent Mifflin County to the elimination bracket in the first round.

A new book that came across the desk last week, however, seems like a good idea for a number of reasons.
The book is "Pillsbury Pizza Night: Top It, Stuff It, Twist It" (Wiley hardcover spiral bound, $14.95).
For starters, the price of the book is reasonable. Also, it provides a wealth of ideas for having pizza at home.
Then, too, pizza can be a family project, both in the preparation, and in the enjoyment of sitting down to enjoy it together.
Pizza dough is not expensive, and many of the toppings are reasonably priced. With pizza, substitution is an easy option where toppings are concerned, so the meal can be tailored to fit a budget.
The colorful, 160-page book contains recipes for pizza, as well as calzones, stromboli sandwiches, dipping sticks and even dessert pizzas.
The book is a primer for pizza cooks and their families.
About crusts
For a thinner crust, here are some tips: Dust the pan with cornmeal or flour before pressing the dough in the pan for a crisper crust. Press out the dough to about ¼-inch thickness. Brush the unbaked dough with olive oil for a more crisp, more flavorful crust.
For a thicker crust, press the dough out to about ½-inch thickness for a softer, chewier crust.
For an extra-thick or deep-dish crust, unroll the dough and place it in a 13-by-9-inch baking pan. Starting at the center, press out the dough to the edges of the pan and at least one-inch up the sides.
All the doughs for pizzas in this book are Pillsbury products, and you would be well advised to keep an eye on specials for these, if pizzas are your family's passions.
About toppings
There is a lot of good advice about what to use for crowning your pizza.
Use a pizza wheel to cut the pizza into wedges. Start in the center and cut to the edge. This helps prevent pulling the toppings off the wedges.

Excellent, moving show. Wonderful insights into the lives of five fictional (but so real) American Muslim women. The complimentary tea before the performance really set the mood for all the tea-related plotlines in the show. Appreciated the post-show Q&A and discussion; it was a nice opportunity to talk to the playwright, respond to the stories, listen to others' responses, and extend what was, as I said, an excellent theater-going experience. I highly recommend it.

The five vignettes featuring the perspectives of five different "veiled" Muslim women were refreshing and at times humorous. The only reason I chose 3 instead of 4 stars is that I am not a great lover of plays.

HTC rejects insider trading claims in Apple settlement
November 14, 2012, 12:21 am TWN
TAIPEI--Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC Corp. said yesterday it was not involved in any insider trading in its global patent settlement with rival Apple Inc.
"There is strict confidentiality requirement in this agreement," HTC said in an emailed statement.
"The company conducts regular compliance training on insider trading stipulations, and frequently reminds employees to abide by these regulations."
"HTC advises investors not be misled by false reports," the Taoyuan-based company said.
The statement came after HTC shares rose 7 percent, the maximum daily increase, to close at NT$226.00 (US$7.80) on Nov. 9 — two days before the HTC-Apple settlement was announced — giving rise to media speculations on insider trading.
The stock has plunged more than 50 percent so far this year and hit NT$194 in late October, the lowest since 2005, as the company has faced intensified competition from iPhone maker Apple and Android peer Samsung Electronics Co.
On Oct. 26, HTC reported consolidated revenue of NT$70.2 billion for the July-September quarter, a quarterly drop of 23 percent. It has forecast a 14-percent decline in its fourth-quarter revenue due to limited sales contribution from new products.

This afternoon, as his teammates practiced in front of 2,775 fans at Florham Park, No. 52 hung off to the side. David Harris wore his green jersey, but didn't scrimmage at all — a final, ceremonial precaution before he headed upstairs to sign a long-term deal with the Jets.
Harris' agents and the Jets had been there for four hours, finalizing the details on a four-year, $36 million deal with $29.5 million fully guaranteed, according to a person with knowledge of the terms. That person requested anonymity because the team has not announced the terms of the contract.
It's the most guaranteed money ever given to an inside linebacker on a four-year deal.
After left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson, center Nick Mangold and cornerback Darrelle Revis — the other members of the team's so-called "Core Four" — signed long-term contracts last summer, Harris finally got his due.
"For me to come from a humble background, a blue-collar family, I knew (general manager) Mike (Tannenbaum) would come through on his promise," Harris said. "I just wanted to focus on football, and not focus on the contracts and the business side of it. I just wanted to go out there and help my teammates win games. I'm glad it's all done."
Harris, the Jets' second-round pick in 2007, has led the team in tackles the past two seasons. Tannenbaum said a new deal for Harris had been prioritized and budgeted for, praising his abilities as a three-down linebacker as well as his professional and hardworking demeanor that has earned him unanimous respect throughout the organization.
"From a GM's perspective, it's a dream to have someone like David," Tannenbaum said. "When you have those types of people, you do everything you can to make sure they never leave your locker room."
The Jets wanted to lock up Harris last summer with the rest of the Core Four, but constrictive rules in the final, uncapped year of the last collective bargaining agreement prevented the sides from drawing up a fair deal.
Tannenbaum promised Harris and his agents that he would be a priority once a new CBA was completed — and they trusted his word. In the meantime, the Jets placed the franchise tag on Harris to ensure he would be in a Jets uniform this season.
Once the lockout was lifted last Monday, and the free-agency negotiating period opened the following day, the sides began talking. The deal begins this year, replacing the tag and giving Harris long-term security. The Jets also receive significant salary cap relief, as his cap number drops from slightly more than $10 million to $4 million.
The Jets wanted to sign him to a longer deal, agent Brian Mackler said, but "there's no reason why we can't get another bite of the apple." Harris, entering his fifth season, is 27.
Tannenbaum was pleased to lock up another homegrown talent, with Harris joining Ferguson, Revis, Mangold and quarterback Mark Sanchez. Additionally, receiver Santonio Holmes and cornerback Antonio Cromartie are secured for the next few years.
Despite the Core Four moniker, Harris sees himself as part of a bigger picture.
"There's really no Core Four. There's a core 20," Harris said. "This team is built around a lot of young guys; that's been proven. But I'm thrilled to be able to play my career out with guys like Darrelle Revis; Bart Scott next to me; playing behind Mike DeVito, Sione Pouha, those guys. They make coming to work every day fun.
"I'm thrilled and ecstatic, and it's a good feeling to know I can put all this behind me and just focus on football."
