thanks for the insight A. I'm wondering, you seem like something of a guru on this stuff, on this website at least. Are you making these predictions just based on information you've seen over and over on the internet, or have you worked in admissions, or...?
With regard to black splitter applicants, I wonder if they're just as friendly. Columbia was my dream school and I had similar numbers to the OP with the question (thought slightly higher and fairly good soft factors) and was waitlisted. I mean, it ended up OK in the end because I'm at HLS, but I was ridiculously bummed and wondered if it was due to the GPA.
2.76, 176, Black Male. Hey all,I don't have a chance at Yale or Stanford and pretty sure Harvard is out of the question as well but what about the other T14 schools?I'd really like to go to Columbia but obviously would be open to NYU, Northwestern, Chicago, UPENN or Georgetown. Any advice you guys could offer would be great.A little background: I attended a NESCAC school, am actively involved in a couple of non-profits and currently work for either the number one or number two law firm as a paralegal.Thanks!

OSLO, NORWAY--(Marketwire - Jan 28, 2013) -
CD22 is a well-validated target for hematological cancers
Algeta ASA (OSE: ALGETA) has initiated a new
research program to evaluate a novel Targeted Thorium Conjugate (TTC)
combines Algeta's proprietary thorium-227 alpha-pharmaceutical payload
with an
anti-CD22 monoclonal antibody (epratuzumab) developed by Immunomedics,
Epratuzumab is a humanised monoclonal antibody (mAb) that binds to the
glycoprotein on the surface of B cells. Epratuzumab has been evaluated
for the
treatment of a variety of hematological cancers and for autoimmune diseases
as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Under the terms of this agreement, Immunomedics
will provide clinical-grade antibody to Algeta, which has rights to
evaluate the potential of a TTC, linking
thorium-227 to epratuzumab, for the treatment of cancer. Algeta will
fund all
preclinical and clinical development costs up to the end of phase I
Upon successful completion of phase I testing, the parties shall negotiate
for a license at Algeta's request according to certain parameters now
between the companies. Payments in the first year from Algeta to
include a signature fee, an antibody delivery milestone and payments for
antibody manufacture. No further details of the agreement are disclosed.
Thomas Ramdahl, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of
said: "The broad utility of our proprietary thorium-227 payload and
potential to be more effective at killing cancer cells than other
payloads gives Algeta a great opportunity to build an extensive
pipeline of
targeted cancer therapies. This collaboration brings together Algeta, the
leader in alpha-pharmaceuticals and Immunomedics, a pioneer in antibody
and technologies. A TTC based on a well-validated antibody such as
is an exciting prospect as we work to achieve our goal of generating a
candidate from the TTC platform in 2014".
Algeta's TTC strategy is based on gaining access to
carefully selected tumor-targeting molecules, via in-licensing,
collaboration or via third parties, to
which it links thorium-227 thereby creating potential new therapeutics.
disclosed TTC programs include collaborations with Sanofi and Ablynx,
based on HER2-targeting (breast/ovarian cancer)
and PDGFR-beta-targeting (anti-angiogenesis) molecules in-licensed from
Affibody and two programs targeting
hematological cancers, including this newly announced program.
About Algeta's TTC Platform
Algeta is evaluating the potential utility of alpha-particle emitting
in the treatment of cancer. Previous studies[1] have indicated that such
elements may have value in treating cancers by causing double-strand DNA
that trigger cell death, and have also shown that the
effects of alpha-emission are highly localized as a result of the very
short range of the alpha particle
(2-10 cell diameters). Thorium-227 is one alpha-particle emitting element
(radionuclide) that has been selected by Algeta for further investigation.
linking thorium-227 to cancer-targeting molecules such as monoclonal
Algeta believes it may be possible to develop a pipeline
of targeted alpha-pharmaceuticals, termed Targeted Thorium Conjugates, or
TTCs. The TTC platform
is at an early research phase in development. Algeta intends to evaluate
TTCs in
a broad range of cancer types to determine whether the TTC platform could
advantages over naked (un-armed) antibodies or antibody-drug conjugate
technologies that use cytotoxic drugs (rather than alpha-emitting elements)
payloads. Such advantages may include increased potency, a more localized
tumoricidal effect and the potential to address drug resistance by virtue
of the
physical action of the alpha particles.

Will TV Providers Finally Realize That People Really Are Cutting The Cord -- And Not Just Because Of The Economy
from the bye-bye dept
Of course, the Associated Press buys the TV industry's very questionable claim that it's all because of "the economy."
The chief cause appears to be persistently high unemployment and a housing market that has many people living with their parents, reducing the need for a separate cable bill.I don't buy it. I would bet that a lot of folks cancelling are like us. We can afford it, but we just don't see the value. We don't watch enough to want to pay the rates that seem way out of line with what we're getting and using. Even more ridiculous, though, is that the AP mentions this kind of reasoning as a problem rather than an opportunity for the industry:
But it's also possible that people are canceling cable, or never signing up in the first place, because they're watching cheap Internet video. Such a threat has been hanging over the industry. If that's the case, viewers can expect more restrictions on online video, as TV companies and Hollywood studios try to make sure that they get paid for what they produce.Wait, what? Because more people want more convenient options, they should expect to get less of them? This is the logic of dying businesses (both the TV folks and the AP). Restricting people doesn't help you get paid. Giving people what they want and putting a smart business model around it does.

We have had "Black African" granite installed in several houses over the years, including in Thailand and have NEVER sealed any of it.
The wife cuts Limes and Lemons on the granite every day and it never stains.
While some stone types do need a sealer to stop staining (marble, Limestone ETC) high quality, dark, polished granites do not require it.
Many Composite worktops are susceptible to staining, mainly due to their porous nature and will benefit from a sealant being applied.
Back in the days when I worked, one of the companies in the group I worked for, built a shed load of buildings in London and around the World.
The bottom (street level) courses of the buildings were faced with polished granite, simply because it repelled dirt and grime thrown up by footfall and traffic ETC. None of it was ever sealed.
Some good info on this site.

Distributors for Bolivia for Sin Fumar (SNUS) (La Paz)
We are looking for professional entrepreneurial people in Bolivia to distribute the world's most efficient "No Smoking product", SNUS. 23% of all Swedish people use it every day, (15% smokes) In Sweden they have only 1/3 portion of lung cancer and mouth cancer compared to other European countries because of that. Investigations state that it is 2.5 times more efficient for quit smoking than Nicotine chewing gum. Because it is still a tobacco product, people find it very easy to switch from cigarettes to Sin Fumar. Read more at our web page Protected content where you also can see a video from the famous CBS program "60 Minutes," where they explain the health advantages people achieve. The product is made in Europe and fulfills the product standards from the strict Swedish Health & Quality requirements.
Income for the distributors ? Think about how much the tobacco industry have made in the past. Our newly started distributors in Europe confirm these high income expectations. If you are interested, or you know people that could be interested, please contact us for more information.

Should there be any doubt concerning the proper application or interpretation of Indiana Code §5-14-3-4, the OGC shall seek the advice of the University's Legal Counsel before acting on the request.
If a request is approved, the OGC will, after discussing the request with the office(s) in possession of the records, provide an estimate of when the records are likely to be available to the requestor. If the OGC denies a request, in whole or in part, it must provide the following information on the Request Form: (a) the specific exemption or exemptions authorizing the withholding of all or part of the public record; and (b) the name and title or position of the person responsible for the denial. If a record contains both disclosable and nondisclosable information, the OGC shall separate the material that is disclosable and make it available for inspection and copying.
5. Fees. No fee will be charged to inspect a public record nor will a fee be charged if the record is sent electronically via PDF. However, if records are too voluminous to transmit via PDF or the person filing the public records request is requesting paper copies of the records, the University will provide the person filing the request access to a copy machine during regular business hours and will charge a fee for the use of the copying machine at $0.10 per page. In unusual circumstances the University may, at its discretion, agree to provide copies ($0.10 per page) and mailing (at current postal rates) if it is determined that to do otherwise would create an undue hardship for the person making the request. Fees will also be assessed for costs associated with extracting and reproducing materials in other mediums such as information stored on a computer tape, computer disc, or a similar record system. Any applicable fees must be paid prior to or at the time the records are released.
The following fees apply to all access to public records requests. All charges must be paid at the time of the request or in advance of receipt of information.
Other charges may apply to cover costs of reproducing materials in other mediums.

California Republican congressional candidate Abel Maldonado Jr. raised $35,500 for a state re-election race on the same day as a party in his honor that his family's business later claimed as a business expense on its federal income tax return, state election finance records show.
The records appear to bolster an Internal Revenue Service decision to bar the company, Agro-Jal Farming Enterprises Inc., from writing off the $3,686.03 catering fee because the party may have been a political fund-raiser that didn't qualify as a business expense.
In an email, Maldonado, who served as the state's lieutenant governor from April 27, 2010, to Jan. 10, 2011, did not comment on whether the party was a campaign event. But he said he is working with the IRS to clear up tax problems that have dogged him in his campaign to unseat Rep. Lois Capps, a Democrat who has long represented the 24th Congressional District on the Central Coast.
The campaign is one of the nation's most hotly contested races. With taxes a key issue, both candidates have sought to gain political advantage by attacking the other over personal tax problems.
Maldonado has criticized Capps for failing for five years to report a total of $41,480 she received from one of her campaign and congressional staffers for rent on a room in her home in Santa Barbara. Capps has acknowledged the problem, filed amended returns and paid $8,819 in extra taxes. Capps, meanwhile, has gone after Maldonado over IRS findings that he and his wife underpaid their taxes by about $470,000, a dispute over which they are now in settlement negotiations.
In addition, Agro-Jal, a firm that Maldonado co-owned with his father and brother, is fighting in U.S. Tax Court an IRS assessment that the firm underpaid its taxes by $3.6 million between 2006 and 2008, in part by claiming numerous personal expenditures as business expenses. The party expense was listed in an IRS Notice of Deficiency dated April 6, 2010.
Maldonado reportedly sold his one-third share in the company, which runs a 6,000-acre farm in Santa Maria that grows strawberries, cauliflower and other produce, after news reports about his tax woes appeared earlier this year.
Agro-Jal's disallowed write-offs include thousands of dollars in home improvements for family members, including a bathroom upgrade for Maldonado's house, club memberships, upkeep for a vacation condominium, and Maldonado's costs for maintaining two horses. The IRS also rejected a write-off of some $26,000 for a giant aquarium in the seaside home of his father, Frank Maldonado, in Shell Beach, Calif.
Frank Maldonado hosted the party for his son on Dec. 5, 2007. At the time, Abel Maldonado was running for re-election to the state Senate from the 15th Senate District.
According to U.S. Tax Court documents, 115 guests attended the event, which was catered by Clemmons Catering at a cost of $3,686.03, which the company sought to write off as a business expense.
In the documents, Susan Braunz, an IRS technical services territory manager, wrote that she asked Agro-Jal to identify the invitees, their business relationship with Agro-Jal and "the nature of the business that was conducted."
"The taxpayer provided me with a list of initials representing the name of the guest and their occupation," Braunz said, adding that the list didn't satisfy IRS regulations.
Braunz denied the write-off, saying that Abel Maldonado "was and is a California senator. The party could just as easily pertained to his political career rather than any business of the taxpayer. It has been well established that the corporation had deducted expenditures on a number of occasions in 2006 and 2007 that had nothing to do with the corporation's business."
A review of Maldonado's election finance records maintained by the California Secretary of State's Office show that on the same day as the party, his state Senate re-election campaign collected 27 donations from individuals and companies totaling $35,500.
It was the second highest number of donations received by the campaign on a single day for 2007 and 2008, according to the records. The highest number of donations – 45 – was made on June 8, 2007, and totaled $30,200, the finance records show.
The donations reported on the same day as the party ranged from $500, given by Mark Clarke, who was identified as a banker with Rabo Agri-Finance, and his wife, Linda, to $3,000 from Daren Gee, identified in the records as a farmer with DB Specialty Farms, a Santa Maria strawberry grower.
McClatchy attempted to contact the individuals and firms that made donations that day. Some of the listed telephone numbers were disconnected or not answered. Messages left at others were not returned.
Maldonado did not directly address the issue of the party in an email statement, saying that it is "no secret that my family's farming business is in the middle of a dispute" with the IRS.
"This dispute is currently being litigated and the only thing I am going to say is that when this matter is resolved . . . I will abide by the findings," he said. "If that means I need to pay additional taxes, then I will just as I've always done. If there are forms that I have to file with state agencies, I will be happy to comply."
IRS spokesman Anthony Burke said he could not talk about the case, saying, "Federal employees are prevented by law from discussing specific taxpayer information."
A review of Abel Maldonado's 2007 state Senate campaign expenditures found none listed for a Dec. 5, 2007, fund-raising event.
Gary Winuk, the chief of enforcement for the California Fair Political Practices Commission, the body that enforces state election finance law, said that expenditures on campaign fundraisers must be reported.
"If you host a campaign fund-raising event and you either spend campaign funds on it or someone else pays for the event for you, or you pay for it yourself out of a different fund, either way, that needs to be reported. It just depends on the source of funds," said Winuk, who noted that he could not comment specifically on the Maldonado party.
A failure to report campaign expenditures can result in criminal or civil prosecutions, he said, adding that a criminal case carries a four-year statute of limitations and a civil case carries a five-year statute of limitations.

1. Nutrition
Nutrition is more than the food you eat. It's also how you digest, absorb and metabolize these nutrients. But assuming your body uses food well, there's ample evidence showing that what goes in your mouth has a good deal to do with your health and life expectancy.
Fiber or roughage, the undigested portion of plants, continually proves itself to be an invaluable part of a healthy menu. Upping your fiber intake, particularly with the water soluble fiber found in dried beans and oat bran, is an inexpensive and safe way to lower blood cholesterol (1). Dietary roughage also wards off constipation, improves diabetic symptoms, helps treat hypertension, decreases the risk of colon cancer and generally fills you up.
Decreasing the fatty foods you eat is an excellent way to battle heart disease, some cancers, high blood pressure and maintain a more slender waistline. Even immunity is compromised if you eat too much fat (2). However, some fat is necessary to maintain health. Fish oils and essential fatty acids (EFAs), found in vegetable oils, are beneficial in the right amounts.
An example of how diet affects health is the ongoing 10 year old China-Cornell-Oxford project. Researchers discovered that Chinese who eat low-fat, high-fiber foods and exercise a lot have less cancer, obesity and heart disease (3,4,5).
2. Vitamins
Without vitamins we become very sick or die. Most vitamins come from our food; others are produced by our body. Vitamins K, B12, thiamin and folic acid are manufactured by micro-organisms in our intestine, while our skin uses sunshine to make vitamin D.
No one questions that vitamins are necessary for good health. However, scientists and doctors continue to debate the kind and amount of nutrients we need, and how vitamins really affect disease. In a perfect world food is the ideal source of vitamins. Unfortunately, cooking, storage, processing, refining, synthetic fertilizers, herbicides and nutrient-poor soil all steal some of food's nutrition. Stressful living conditions, pollution and inadequate eating habits demand that most of us supplement our diets with additional vitamins. In addition, your size, sex, age, health, physical activity, biochemical make-up and where you live all create individual vitamin requirements.
New research says that vitamins' effect on health is even more far reaching than we thought just a few years ago. Antioxidant vitamins, most notably C, E and beta-carotene, seem to protect against some cancers, heart disease and other illnesses. Vitamin B6 helps those with PMS, carpal tunnel syndrome and diabetes. Osteoporosis may be prevented with vitamin K. Most importantly, immunity, the body system that governs health in general, is affected by vitamins A, E and B6 (6).
3. Exercise
Washers, dryers and all the other labor-saving devices we've come to depend on have made life easier and getting exercise harder. Some have accepted this trend and lead sedentary lives. However, regular exercise, whether it's aerobics class, walking or gardening, is essential for good health.

Emily Blunt, one of the best and most glamorous actresses to come out of England in recent years, makes an unusual but highly successful choice for the young Victoria.
Read Full Review
Once you get past the fact that lovely Emily Blunt doesn't look anything like the dour historical pictures of Britain's longest-reigning monarch, The Young Victoria is an appealing and well-crafted, if staid, portrait of a fascinating ruler.
Emily Blunt makes Victoria as irresistible a young woman as Dame Judi Dench made her an older one in "Mrs. Brown" (1997).
The Young Victoria has a subtler flow than you might expect, and at times it's calmer than you may like. Director Jean-Marc Vallée's images have a creamy stateliness, but this is no gilded? princess fantasy.

OK for kids 12+
Queen's biopic is more tender romance than historical saga.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this period biopic about England's beloved Queen Victoria isn't just the story of a legendary monarch -- it's also a love story about the loving, committed relationship between Victoria and her husband. But despite that -- and the movie's tame PG rating -- kids and tweens probably won't be drawn in by the characters' political machinations, particularly in the movie's first half. Families who do watch won't find too much content to object to -- there's one scene that involves shooting, as well as some flirting and kissing, but no nudity or strong language.
Messages: Victoria grapples with the responsibilities of the monarchy but rises to the occasion beautifully. Though she makes mistakes, she comes away from them wiser and better able to rule. The movie also makes it clear that power isn't all that matters -- love does, too.
Role models: Victoria is a strong-willed woman who manages to stand up against detractors and those who aim to take advantage of her youth. But she also has a stubborn streak that, at points, nearly compromises important relationships. Still, she's able to learn from her mistakes.
Violence: A man shoots at the royal couple. Crowds protest. Politicians debate loudly.
Sex: Couples flirt and, later, when finally married, kiss.
Language: Nothing stronger than "damn."
Consumerism: Not an issue
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Some drinking and smoking in social situations.

Lovely pair of antique Staffordshire wally dog pitchers. These English spaniel mantel dogs in jug form are much harder to find than the full sitting dogs. Made in Staffordshire, England in the mid to late 1800's, they are hand painted mainly to the front, the white, flatter backs intended to sit against the chimney breast. Beautifully coloured in white and russet with gold collars and green bows. These two antique jugs would look great displayed with your Chinoiserie Decor for that eclectic look.
7.75" or 19.25cm Tall
5.75" or 14.5cm Wide (to handle)
2.75" or 7cm Deep
Together they weigh 1.1kg
As can be seen in the photographs there is age related deep crazing to the glaze of one of the dogs. The other has light crazing. There is some wear to the paint otherwise these lovely dogs are in good antique condition.

One of the great technical challenges of introducing color
broadcast television
was the desire to conserve
, potentially three times that of the existing
standards, and not use an excessive amount of
radio spectrum
. In the United States, after considerable research, the
VANELi Solana Ballerina Flat Womens hjt8Bx
Klogs Springfield Womens BiKREZC
approved an all-electronic Compatible color system developed by , which encoded the color information separately from the brightness information and greatly reduced the resolution of the color information in order to conserve bandwidth. The brightness image remained compatible with existing black-and-white television sets at slightly reduced resolution, while color televisions could decode the extra information in the signal and produce a limited-resolution color display. The higher resolution black-and-white and lower resolution color images combine in the brain to produce a seemingly high-resolution color image. The NTSC standard represented a major technical achievement.
Although all-electronic color was introduced in the U.S. in 1953, [123] high prices, and the scarcity of color programming, greatly slowed its acceptance in the marketplace. The first national color broadcast (the 1954 Tournament of Roses Parade ) occurred on 1 January 1954, but during the following ten years most network broadcasts, and nearly all local programming, continued to be in black-and-white. It was not until the mid-1960s that color sets started selling in large numbers, due in part to the color transition of 1965 in which it was announced that over half of all network prime-time programming would be broadcast in color that fall. The first all-color prime-time season came just one year later. In 1972, the last holdout among daytime network programs converted to color, resulting in the first completely all-color network season.
Early color sets were either floor-standing console models or tabletop versions nearly as bulky and heavy; so in practice they remained firmly anchored in one place. The introduction of 's relatively compact and lightweight
set in the spring of 1966 made watching color television a more flexible and convenient proposition. In 1972, sales of color sets finally surpassed sales of black-and-white sets. Color broadcasting in Europe was not standardized on the format until the 1960s, and broadcasts did not start until 1967. By this point many of the technical problems in the early sets had been worked out, and the spread of color sets in Europe was fairly rapid. By the mid-1970s, the only stations broadcasting in black-and-white were a few high-numbered UHF stations in small markets, and a handful of low-power repeater stations in even smaller markets such as vacation spots. By 1979, even the last of these had converted to color and, by the early 1980s, BW sets had been pushed into niche markets, notably low-power uses, small portable sets, or for use as
LacosteEspere 117 1 Cam 5sMpV5I
screens in lower-cost consumer equipment. By the late 1980s even these areas switched to color sets.

Conservative Corner: A rotten Common Core
By Nancy Carlton
One of the most important aspects of child-rearing in any nation is the education of the children. Other than food, clothing, and shelter, there are few things as important to a child's well-being as what goes into the mind of the child. Love and proper information are absolutely vital to every human being.
There are good reasons why parents are the primary responsible parties charged with educating a child. In the natural order of things, it is the parents whose duty it is to provide their children with all the necessities.
Throughout history it has been the parental occupation to provide sufficiently for the offspring in every category of care: physical, mental, and spiritual.
The family, the church, neighbors, and local schools have been the natural tools used to prepare our children for life. As they mature, they can spread their wings and venture into farther-flung institutions of learning.
Never were children meant to be reared by the government. However, governments have been trying to take over the rearing of our children for a very long time, and they are growing quite bold in the United States.
Perhaps you have heard of the Common Core State Standards Initiative, or CCSSI. You may also run across the initials CCC, or Common Core Curriculum if you research it.
There are plenty of websites on the internet to peruse. I recommend www.stopcommoncore.com.
If you like what Obamacare is doing for healthcare, you may just love the Common Core Curriculum project.
If you are ready for the same bureaucrats who are over-taxing you, taking away your natural rights, and de-developing our nation, to indoctrinate your children and rob them of their potential as individuals, then never mind this column of mine. It will only irritate you.
If, however, you believe that Uncle Sam or Big Brother are not as qualified to determine the best education for your children as you are, then read on.
If you love freedom as much as I do, you should see red flags going up all over the CCSSI. This behemoth destroys Federalism. Uncle Sam acts as an enforcer to corral the states into a one-size-fits-all common core despite the fact that three federal laws prohibit the federal government from guiding the educational curriculum of the states. Hey, has anyone seen my Tenth Amendment lately? I know I had it when I came in...
You really must study this government power grab on your own, for I won't have the space here to fully expose its dangers.
The dangers of CCSSI reach into every area of a child's life, if fully implemented. Much emphasis will be placed by CCSSI on creating "world citizens" rather than Americans. "Equality" will be stressed over "Freedom".
College entrance exams will be "dumbed down" to match the standards of the Common Core.
Future problems tied to the Common Core could include outlawing all homeschooling, as has recently been done in Sweden.
Some states are taking action against this intrusion and usurpation of our rights to educate our children as we see fit.
Texas, Nebraska, and Alaska refused to participate in the Common Core.
Indiana's Senate Education Committee voted to delay implementation until after more study.
South Carolina, Virginia, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Utah all have some form of action pending or taken to pull out of the CCSSI.
Patriot activist movements are afoot in Colorado, Georgia, Maine, Missouri, and New Hampshire to reclaim local control over education.
Please contact all your representatives in Arkansas and tell them that we in no way want to have anything to do with CCSSI. Remind them of the Tenth Amendment which protects states' rights, and tell them that we are raising American kids here, not "citizens of the world".
As a matter of fact, John 15:19 tell us that we "are not of the world" if we are Christians. Yes, I know - this is a spiritual reference and speaks of spiritual citizenship, but with today's governments being so secular, so anti-Christian, there is certainly a parallel to be drawn between the two meanings of "the world". We don't need to be citizens of either the "world" we are warned against in the Bible, or the world that is comprised of nations who are joining together to destroy our freedom. Where is the separation between those two?
CCSSI is just another tool that may be used in the United Nations Agenda 21 project. If you haven't researched UN Agenda 21, and you aren't afraid of nightmares, type it into your favorite search engine.
Please join me in holding the line against further encroachment into our lives and freedoms.
For the sake of your children and grandchildren, stand against the Common Core Curriculum.

What to watch in Thursday night's Eagles-Colts game in Indianapolis:
1. Riding with the King: Somehow, the Eagles' convoluted offensive line injury picture has left King Dunlap as the starting left tackle against the Colts. You might remember the King as last year's interesting seventh-round project, a 6-8, 310-pound former Auburn enigma who has long arms and quick feet. Spent last year on IR with a lingering ankle problem. Hasn't made a huge impact in this camp; for an offensive lineman, it might actually be possible to be too tall. Leverage is kind of a big deal there.
2. Special emphasis: For all of Ted Daisher's insistent drilling, the Birds' special teams were the same familiar mixed bag in last week's preseason opener. Some nice returns. A muffed punt by rookie Jeremy Maclin. A 75-yard punt return touchdown for the Pats. A blocked Eagles field goal, and a missed field goal at the end that would have won the game. Granted, lots of the guys running down the field right now won't be on the team for the season opener. But consistency would be nice.
3. Kaiser Wilhelm: With Omar Gaither sidelined by a knee sprain, Joe Mays and Matt Wilhelm should get most of the middle linebacking work. Of course, it's important to keep an eye on Mays, who more or less inherited the starting job when Stewart Bradley went down for the season. But the Birds signed Wilhelm because he's a veteran with the size Mays lacks; even though he's trying to learn one of the toughest positions in a complex defense on the fly, the braintrust has made it clear Wilhelm has an opening here. It will be interesting to see what he does with it.

Questions abound about Cohen's SAC realm
New York Times News Service
You want the headquarters of Steven A. Cohen, one of the most successful financial speculators of our time, to look like Dr. Evil's secret lair. But it is just another office-park building, a low-slung affair of tinted glass and red brick, on the southern fringes of Stamford.
From the outside, there's nothing particularly special about this address, 72 Cummings Point Road. But inside -- well, everyone on Wall Street has heard the stories.
Some of them are even true.
We are, after all, talking about the man known on the Street as "Stevie" -- hedge fund magnate, multibillionaire, prodigious art collector and, of late, person of intense interest to federal authorities.
Inside his offices, vast fortunes are won and lost. Careers are made and unmade. Type-A egos are inflated and crushed, sometimes in the space of hours. And there, Cohen, a trader with an almost preternatural knack for reading fear and greed in the marketplace, prowls relentlessly for an edge over everyone else.
Cohen, 56, today sits at the center of more concentric circles of money and power and worry and suspicion than perhaps anyone else in the hedge fund game. Neither he nor the private investment firm that bears his initials, SAC Capital Advisors, has been accused of wrongdoing. But over the past half-decade, as a vast federal investigation into insider trading has unfolded in stunning detail, the questions have returned again and again. In soft-carpeted executive suites, on fervid trading floors, in Park Avenue co-ops and on Connecticut back lanes, the same subject keeps coming up: Just what is going on inside 72 Cummings Point Road?
It is, perhaps, understandable. On Wall Street, Cohen is envied and feared in equal measure. Hedge fund managers like him have helped redefine what it means to be rich, even if most ordinary people don't quite understand what they do or how they do it.
For years, the investigations had swirled around SAC, but that was about all. Then, on the afternoon of Nov. 28, the word went out across Wall Street: The Securities and Exchange Commission was warning that it might go after SAC, too. Elsewhere in the investigations, prosecutors have turned up damning evidence through FBI wiretaps and reached into the boardrooms of some of the mightiest corporations. Seventy-one people have been convicted in a sweep that dwarfs the 1980s-era Wall Street scandals involving Ivan Boesky and Michael Milken.
But there is also this undeniable fact: The government inquiry has linked six former SAC employees to insider trading while at the fund; three have pleaded guilty. On Friday, a grand jury indicted Mathew Martoma, a former employee who was arrested last month on charges that he used insidetips abouta clinical drug trial to help SACearn profits and avoid losses totaling$276 million. (A lawyer for Martoma says his client is innocent.) In the Martoma case, prosecutors for the first time have tied Cohen to questionable trades.
The first rumbles of wrongdoing came in 2003, when a trader at SAC came under scrutiny from the SEC for possible insider trading violations. Regulators wanted to know if he had been given early access to Wall Street research reports. He was never charged.
Two more blows came in 2006, when two separate companies -- the pharmaceuticals concern Biovail and Fairfax Financial, a Canadian insurance company -- filed lawsuits against SAC and other hedge funds, essentially accusing them of spreading lies in order to profit from a decline in their share prices. The Biovail case was featured on a "60 Minutes" report, which cast the company as the victim and the hedge funds as predators. Both lawsuits were dismissed, and Biovail, in 2011, paid $10 million to SAC and issued an apology. But not even Cohen could dodge the financial crisis. On one particularly dark day in 2008, one SAC trader recalls, Cohen said: "I lost a billion dollars today. And probably $250 million in art."
It turned out to be SAC's worst year ever, the only year it lost money. Its flagship fund plummeted 19 percent in value. Cohen personally lost $750 million, according to Alpha magazine.
Former employees say Cohen was furious about the big paychecks he awarded the previous year. He immediately began cutting expenses. SAC dismissed roughly a third of its money managers. For those who stayed, there were no more monthly birthday cakes.
But as much as anything else, Cohen is now grappling with the confluence of powerful forces. The proliferation of hedge funds over the past decade has made spotting winning trades much more difficult. Many funds simply crowd into the same investments, reducing the potential payoff for everyone.
On top of that, changing rules, particularly one barring corporate executives and research analysts from disclosing information to select investors, have dulled SAC's edge in information. SAC and others have increasingly leaned on so-called expert networks, which match industry specialists with financial players hungry for information. SAC, for instance, was a top client of the Gerson Lehrman Group, a top expert network firm.
Then, of course, there are all those investigations. In one case, a former SAC fund manager who pleaded guilty told investigations that he thoughttrafficking in corporate secrets was part of this job description.In another case, the government says Martoma had a 20-minute phone conversation with Cohen the day before SAC dumped $700 million in twopharmaceutical companies andproceeded to make a big betagainst them. Prosecutors said Martoma had secret information about the companies' drug trials from a doctor.
In sworn testimony with an SEC lawyer last summer, Cohen said he sold the stocks after the analyst told him that he had lost conviction about the investments, according to a person briefed on the case. Cohen said he could recall little else. In late November, amid all the headlines, the SEC warned that it might file a civil fraud lawsuit against SAC related to the Martoma case.
Cohen has made a lot of people unimaginably rich, including himself. One question today is whether his investors -- who have profited handsomely from his trading prowess over the years -- will stand by him now.
He has had a solid year, up 12 percent through November. Yet private bankers at Citigroup have advised clients not to invest more money with SAC. Investors who want to pull their money at their first chance, next March, have until Feb. 15 to advise SAC of their intentions. Inside 72 Cummings Point Road, the troops are worried. SAC employees have begun working the phones on weekends, exploring other job opportunities, says the chief executive of a bank that does business with Cohen's firm.
As for Steve Cohen, he could walk away tomorrow, return every dime to his investors. And, barring the worst, he would be left, in quiet splendor, to trade with a fortune few can even fathom.

How to Put Together a Cheese Plate…
A common question we get on the cheese counter is about how to put together a cheese plate, be it for a cocktail party or as a dinner course. There aren't any rules per se – after all, it really comes down to what you will enjoy eating! That said, when customers ask, we generally offer the following recommendations:
– It's usually nice to include at least one cheese from each of the three major milk categories: cow, sheep and goat.
– Similarly, we like to include a variety of textures. For example, one might choose something smooth and spreadable (think Camembert, Brie or a chèvre), something semi-soft (for example, Vendéen Bichonne or Ardrahan) and something on the firmer side (Comté, Calcagno or a Boerenkaas).
– Color is also something to consider when designing your platter. We try to choose cheeses that are visually diverse – from the pure white of a bloomy-rinded triple-crème, to the black of an ash-coated chèvre, to the orange hue of a butterscotchy, aged Gouda. It is also worth thinking about what you'll be serving your cheese on. The goal is to create a visual contrast between the serving surface and the cheeses themselves. At the shop, we generally use black slates when putting together a platter. At the end of 2009, we started selling Brooklyn Slate Co. cheese slates which are really beautiful (and dishwasher safe!). A bonus to the Brooklyn Slates – they not only provide a great contrast for your cheeses but, included with each slate, is soapstone chalk which can be used to write the names of each cheese directly on the slate itself. Last Christmas, several of my fellow mongers purchased these slates as gifts for others and, in most cases, bought one (or two!) for themselves as well. The Brooklyn slates come in black and grey but are also available in red and green.
– While keeping color, texture and milk type in mind, we generally recommend including between 3-5 cheeses on your platter. Three cheeses allows for a good level of diversity and five cheeses ensures that you can hit all of the major milk groups while giving yourself room to include something a bit more funky – a washed rind or a blue cheese, for example. The reason we tend to cap the platter at five cheeses is because, if you have any more than that, it gets a bit overwhelming for the palate.
– When figuring the total amount of cheese you need, consider whether you're serving it in place of a meal, as a single course or as an accompaniment to a course. We generally assume 3-4 ounces per person for a lighter serving and about 6-8 ounces per person for a main course. Folks often wonder if it is more "correct" to serve your cheese before or after a meal and, if it is being served as part of a dinner, before or after the dessert course. Traditions vary widely so my inclination is to do what works best in the context of your event. For example, if you are serving an apple dessert in the fall, it might be nice to serve a cheddar-themed platter at the same time as dessert. Or, if you are assembling your guests for a cocktail hour prior to dinner, it might be nice to serve your cheese platter then. If, instead, folks have more time to stick around after the meal, you might make the platter an after dinner treat!
– In terms of cutting the cheese: if you are holding a sit-down dinner party you might prefer to pre-cut a cheese plate for each guest. However, if you are presenting everything on one platter, it is usually a good idea to let folks cut their own cheese. What you might want to do is cut one or two small pieces to show folks how to start cutting each cheese. When cutting into a cheese, the idea is that everybody eating it should get an equal amount of rind and paste (the inside part of the cheese). Depending on the shape of your cheese, the way you cut will vary. Rounds of cheese can be cut like a pie. Wedges get a little bit trickier but the same principle applies – ideally, everyone gets the same amount of each part of the cheese. Once you cut a sample piece or two, they can be artistically laid next to the larger hunk of cheese and hopefully your guests will take the cue as to how to continue from there.
– If you are letting your guests cut from a larger piece of cheese, good cheese knives can be both attractive and helpful in avoiding awkward cutting moments! With harder cheeses, we recommend providing a sturdy knife that won't flex when cutting – for this purpose, we like Saladini's grana knife. With soft and creamy cheeses, a knife that more closely resembles a butter knife, such as Saladini's spatola, is appropriate. If the texture of your cheese is soft but sticky (as is the case with Brie), you'll need a knife with a thin blade (or one of those knives with holes in the blade). While you don't need a knife for every type of cheese, it is generally advisable to give the blue cheese a knife all its own so that the spicy blue molds aren't shared amongst the other cheeses!
– When to assemble your platter? This will depend somewhat on how warm you like to keep your home and the time of year. Essentially, you want the cheese at "room temperature" when you serve it. If the cheese is too cold, you will not get as much flavor. On the other hand, if the cheese is too warm, you run the risk of serving it sweaty or excessively runny. We recommend taking your cheese out about an hour before you plan to serve it. If it is the middle of a hot summer, you will need less time and if it is a cold winter and you like to keep your home chilly, allow a bit more time.

Digital Papyri at Houghton Library
Houghton Library's collection of papyri consists of 84 manuscripts dating from the 3rd century BC to the 6th century AD. Most of the papyri come from Oxyrhynchus, but there are also papyri from Hibeh and from the Fayûm. The collection comprises both literary and documentary texts. They are all written in Greek except for one (P. Oxy. 6.987), which is a bookplate written in Coptic. These papyri were given to the Semitic Museum at Harvard by the Egypt Exploration Fund, London, between 1901 and 1909. The Semitic Museum received this "gift" in return for the purchase of a life membership in the Egypt Exploration Fund for $125 by Jacob H. Schiff, the museum's principal benefactor. In 1960 the papyri were transferred to Houghton Library.
The papyri from Oxyrhynchus were first published by B. P. Grenfell, A. S. Hunt in the first six volumes of the Oxyrhynchus Papyri (London, 1898-1908). The papyri from Fayûm were published by B.P. Grenfell, A.S. Hunt and D.G. Hogarth in Fayûm Towns and their Papyri (London, 1900) and those from Hibeh by B.P. Grenfell and A.S. Hunt in The Hibeh Papyri, I (London, 1906). Among the literary texts, the most notable and best preserved is a papyrus of the Panegyricus of Isocrates (SM 6261). The collection holds also papyri of Homer, Plato, Thucydides, Demosthenes, Menander, and the Gospels. The documentary texts include contracts, petitions, lists, tax receipts, letters and other types of documents. They are primary sources for the study of the political, administrative and social history of the Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt.
This Web site provides strategies for searching Houghton's papyri as well as links to bibliographies related to these materials that were compiled by the Library. Permission to publish from any papyrus is granted at the discretion of the Curator. See Houghton's Reproductions and Permissions page for more information.
The digitization of Houghton's manuscripts was supported by the Provost's Fund for Instructional Technology at Harvard University. The project was directed by Francesca Schironi, assistant professor in the Department of the Classics, in collaboration with William P. Stoneman, Florence Fearrington Librarian and acting curator of Early Books and Manuscripts for Houghton Library, and his staff. Information about the history of the collection was provided by James Armstrong, Assistant Curator of Collections in the Semitic Museum. As digital images of the papyri become available, we will provide links to them from this Web page as well as from the HOLLIS catalog.

Relive the Roses
Nov. 20, 2007
By Jason Krump
To this day, the moment resonates with Steve Gleason.
'I still remember leaving my house, walking to Bohler Gym, and seeing the other guys walking to the gym,' he said. 'We all wore the same warm-ups. All of a sudden I'd be walking, and coming from the left there would be someone else walking in the same uniform; then someone else. Next thing you know there would be 10 guys walking.
'I remember the feeling of we have the chance to make history. It was a perfect football memory.'
The walk's destination was to buses parked outside of Bohler Gym, marking the beginning of the Cougars' journey to Seattle and the Apple Cup.
Sixteen years earlier, another Cougar team was in similar circumstances.
'I remember the feeling of we have the chance to make history. It was a perfect football memory.'
- Steve Gleason
When the 1981 Cougars headed to Seattle for their annual Apple Cup battle with the Huskies, the game carried extra emphasis . . . a Rose Bowl berth to the winner was at stake.
However, done in by six turnovers (three fumbles, three interceptions) the Cougars saw their Rose Bowl dreams denied while Washington punched its ticket to Pasadena with a 23-10 win.
'The one thing I noticed was Washington had played in championship games before and Washington State hadn't,' remembers Paul Sorensen, an All-American free safety on the '81 team. 'You don't realize how huge a deal that is until you actually play in a game like that and understand how much effort you have to make above and beyond what you normally make.
'They were used to it and we were not,' Sorensen continued. 'That was the surprise; the intensity tempo and the level and the ferocity of that game went up about four notches. It was something I noticed and wished we could have a do over.'
For Mike Walker, a defensive tackle on the 1981 squad, the memories of the 1981 Apple Cup were still fresh in his memory as the 1997 edition approached.
'I kept stressing to the defensive line: `Don't let this happen,'' Walker said. 'I brought that up everyday. Those guys were on a mission to prevent that from happening again.'
Unlike 1981 where a win guaranteed a Rose Bowl berth, the 1997 Cougars needed a little help from, ironically, UCLA.
Since opening the season with losses to WSU and Tennessee, the Bruins, now ranked seventh (AP) and ninth (ESPN/Coaches) in the country while WSU was 11th in both polls, had run off eight straight wins, the latest a 52-28 disposing of Washington. That loss erased any remaining Rose Bowl hopes for the Huskies.
Entering their Nov. 22 games, WSU and UCLA both had 6-1 conference records, as did Arizona State. For the Cougars to punch their ticket to Pasadena, they could finish in a two-way tie with UCLA or a three-way tie with UCLA and Arizona State. If WSU finished in a two-way tie with Arizona State, the Sun Devils would make a repeat trip to the Rose Bowl as a result of their win over the Cougars earlier in the month.
So if the Cougars beat Washington to improve to 7-1, they needed UCLA to defeat USC and improve its record to 7-1 as well, ensuring the tie. If UCLA lost and the Cougars won, then WSU would have to wait until Nov. 28, when Arizona State hosted Arizona, to find out its fate.
A WSU loss to Washington didn't eliminate the Cougars' Rose Bowl and Pac-10 title hopes, but they would need losses from both UCLA and Arizona State in order for that to be fulfilled.
But losing had become a rare occurrence for the '97 Cougars, and, as their win tally grew each week, so did the media spotlight on them. That spotlight would be even more glaring Apple Cup week.
'I remember showing up at the hotel and there were tons of media,' Gleason said. 'It was one of the first times I had been surrounding by that much media.'
With the ever-increasing attention paid to his team, Mike Price preached to his players not to give the opposition bulletin board material.
In other words, be respectful of your opponents when talking with the media.
And when talking with reporters the Sunday of Apple Cup week, Chris Jackson used the word 'respect' several times, but not quite in the context that Price was hoping.
'Last year they didn't show us any respect,' Jackson was quoted in several newspapers. 'So I don't have an ounce of respect for them. They have some good players but I don't respect them as players or people.'
Other Jackson observations included: 'I'll be damned if I'm going to let the Huskies get in my way of going to the Rose Bowl,' and 'we've seen teams that don't have as good an offense as we do put up 40 points on them so we're looking forward to studying them pretty well and going out to put 40, 50 points on them.'
'I spoke with the confidence of our team. I didn't mean it to get out that way.'
- Chris Jackson
And so began Apple Cup week 1997.
'My hand still hurts from slamming it on my desk that Sunday,' Mike Price quipped when he recalled his reaction upon learning of his wide receiver's quote.
'I remember all the buzz around Chris Jackson's comments; I couldn't believe it,' Gleason recalled. 'It was so far from something that I would say. It just made me laugh. I thought he is probably going to be in trouble for that or reprimanded.'
He was. A 6 a.m. meeting for Jackson with his head coach was on the agenda that Monday.
'I spoke with the confidence of our team,' Jackson recalled. 'I didn't mean it to get out that way. I just said look, I know it is a big rival game being the Apple Cup but I just think we've done some things and made some strides this year. I think if we put together a game that we're capable of putting up I can see us putting up 40 points on these guys.
'That was my quote, I didn't say we were going to guarantee this,' Jackson added. 'Coach Price went off on me and said what he said. It was forgotten about when I left that meeting room.'
In Friday's team meeting, the day before the game, Jackson did an impersonation of Price in a reenactment of Monday's scene. It was just an example, in Price's view, of the relaxed state of mind of his players, although he wasn't necessarily.
'As a coach, I wasn't really relaxed, but I tried not to show the team I was really uptight,' Price said.
'The team meeting the night before was hilarious,' added Price. 'They were super, super confident.'
'I felt a pretty strong sense of calm,' Gleason said. 'I felt a lot of confidence going into that game.'
They were confident in spite of history. Since Price became head coach in 1989, the Cougars had not won a November road game, a span of 13 contests with the last defeat occurring three weeks earlier, Nov. 1, at Arizona State.
In addition, WSU had not won at Husky Stadium since 1985, a span of five games.
But the Cougars had beaten history before, as evidenced by the win over USC at the Los Angeles Coliseum. It was their intention to do so once again in Seattle.
