The United States holds legal title to tribal lands in trust for the benefit of actual owners of the land, i.e. the tribe and its members. The secretary of the Interior has primary responsibility for administering Native American tribal assets.
Native American trust assets include the trust lands, natural resources found on these lands and income derived from the land and natural resources, i.e. trust funds. However, in 1936, under the Indian Reorganization Act of June 18, 1934, as amended by the act of June 15, 1935, that responsibility was given to the Southern Ute Indian Tribe to administer its tribal affairs, to preserve and increase its tribal resources.
It is therefore of key importance that the Tribal Council recognize the importance of its fiduciary responsibilities to the membership. Certainly, the Tribal Council must understand the concepts of responsible leadership, responsive government and oversight of tribal assets.
More importantly, there must be discernible difference between the candidates who must have more financial strengths and management depth than previous Tribal Council members.

Security Systems Protective MeasuresAgainst Hackers
By G.C. Eric Brumfield
As our world heads into the next millenium, companies in every industry are becoming more computer literate. Their need for some level of sophisticated networks to keep their competitive edge is becoming greater. With every network that is installed in an organization, there is also a risk that proper security measures were overlooked or taken for granted. In these cases, companies can face a great deal of embarrassment and anxiety and even lose millions of dollars due to security breaches.
When should companies invest in security systems? When can they determine if they are at risk without one? A rule of thumb is, any company that routinely stores sensitive, confidential information that is critical to their success, or information that could cause damage to them were it to end up in the wrong hands, should definitely look for a sound security system to protect its investment. Companies utilizing a local area network with a small number of users are at a lower risk than those that utilize a wide area network that connects to multiple sites within a city or multiple sites throughout the country.
Information equates to power and money in this day and age. The Internet is becoming one of the fastest ways to start a new business, grow an existing business or simply find needed information. Jim Reed, manager of public relations for V-One, a network security company in Germantown, Maryland, says, "It's business-to-business commerce through the Internet that is going to make the Internet even bigger than it is now. And with companies communicating with each other through the Internet, vital information is being transferred back and forth. If the information falls into the wrong hands, it could be beyond damaging."
Law offices and other industries have to deal with the power of confidentiality. As we take a closer look at how freely information is passed via our internal networks and the Internet, we must begin to recognize the importance of having an adequate network security system that will protect this information and secure the rights of confidentiality for businesses and our clients.
Proactive Measures
After accomplishing the great task of installing a network security system, there is yet another concern that demands close attention: the ability to manage network security systems effectively so that hackers do not break through security walls and create nightmares for us all. Hacker is more than just a word to many. For some it's, a career, and for others it is like a vampire in the night waiting to suck the blood and money from the life of a company. Most organizations in business today have been the victim of hackers at one time or another. Part of the reason is that hackers come in many shapes and sizes. They can be as small and as brilliant as the adolescent genius that lives next door–the kid that spends his time solving puzzles and breaking passwords on his PC in the basement, instead of playing with the boring computer-illiterate kids in the neighborhood. Or hackers can be as dangerous as the professionals, known as "Black Hats," computer criminals who make a living by breaking into unsuspecting computer systems and selling, destroying or manipulating data or information they poach.
How can businesses protect their investments with criminals waiting for the perfect opportunity to penetrate security systems? There are many security measures that can be taken. Some are very small steps, and others involve financial investments.
One major step that organizations can take is to eliminate use of the Internet on the job. It is common knowledge that Internet access and a modem are key sources of entry into an organization's computer system. And every organization has its workaholics–you know, people who are so dedicated to work that they have to take some of it home with them. Then they remotely access the server at the office to make modifications to their critical projects. If the fire walls of our network security systems allow people with just average computer literacy to enter, then what opportunities for intrusion exist for the "Black Hats" of the world. Just a simple password can create a virtual playground for the professional hacker.
Welcome to the world of hacker. According to the third annual "Computer Crime and Security Survey," conducted by the Computer Security Institute in San Francisco (http:www.gocsi.com), computer crime and other information security breaches are on the rise, and the cost to U.S. corporations and government agencies is growing.
The CSI report released last March noted that 64 percent of respondents reported computer security breaches within the last year. This figure is 16 percent higher than CSI's 1997 survey.
CSI also reported that, although most organizations have firewalls in place at their network perimeters, more than 70 percent had security flaws which left them vulnerable to even the most rudimentary malicious attacks.
Internal Measures
Companies must first take proactive measures from within. Initial steps should be block the curious onlooker or the average computer hacker. This would basically protect documents within the system from internal onlookers, but it will not protect them from that experienced hacker outside, looking in. Measures might include password protection, masking and information-change detection. Getting into the habit of changing passwords regularly is a wise thing to do.
It's recommended that companies change user passwords at least once a quarter. Masking techniques include disguising files inside the computer, or hiding ranges of information inside a file to make information appear unreadable or invisible. Change-detection techniques include audit trails such as byte count and formula difference locators. There are many security programs available in today's marketplace that address spreadsheet and word-processing techniques, operating systems security, database protection, and general safeguards and Internet security, to name just a few. Depending on your business, any one or all of these programs would benefit to the protection of data or information within your systems. Companies that implement such internal protective measures move one step closer to preventing incidents like the Bernard Mayles case in 1991. Bernard stole drug-processing information from his then-employer pharmaceuticals giant Merck & Co, and tried to peddle it to an Eastern European company. That company's agent turned out to have a different employer: the FBI. Mayles was sentenced to nine years in prison.
Another situation that might have been avoided is the case of a retail store chain managed by Bill Kesl, director of systems integration at Datamax Systems Solutions in Boca Raton, Florida. A computer-savvy store clerk at Kesl's would log on to an electronic register and change prices so that an accomplice could buy items for next to nothing. In both cases, individuals were able to access sensitive computer information and use it for dishonest purposes, due to relaxed security parameters.
External Measures
As companies move toward decentralized networks of personal computers and away from centralized, easily protected mainframes, they become more vulnerable to hacking. In an effort to make businesses more user-friendly, we are inevitably making them more hacker-friendly as well.
The "Black Hats" of the world create varied nightmares for businesses. A hacker tampered with automaker BMW's Web site as a New Year's prank last January, taking the image of a BMW roadster tearing down the highway and transforming it into a car wreck by turning the car upside down and painting in skid marks. Later that same month, critics of Indonesia's then-President Suharto hit 15 government domains, including the site of the nation's police force, inserting their views onto the Web sites.
There is also the "denial of service" attack, in which a hacker tricks a computer so that it shuts down or is so busy with bogus requests that it can't handle legitimate ones. In March, a series of "denial of service" attacks crippled hundreds of systems, including computers owned by NASA and other government agencies, various academic institutions, Microsoft Corporation and other commercial institutions. Last year a virus shut down computers for two days at National City Corporation, a Cleveland bank. The bank spent at least $400,000 to correct the virus rewiring during the attack to activate backup computers.
In a survey conducted last year by Information Week and Ernst & Young of New York, 40 percent of respondents reported losses of up to $100,000 from macro viruses; nearly half (47 percent) reported losses of up to $100,000 due to other types of viruses.
Nick Simicich, an IBM Senior Security consultant in Boca Raton, Florida, tests social engineering methods when conducting security audits for clients. Social Engineering is a term that commonly used by low-key hackers to describe posing as employees of a company in order to gain sensitive information. "I've gone up to a security person carrying a laptop, "Simicich says," asked him what the policy is on laptops and walked out the door." He has also gotten passwords by posing as a company computer technician: "I'll just say, 'Could you do me a favor and give me your password so I don't have to look it up?'" These are just a few of the potentially hundreds of techniques that hackers use to wreak havoc on our organizations.
One very common preventive measure that companies are using is to hire outside organizations to strengthen their network security systems. The organizations conduct a series of diagnostic tests from outside, to see how easy it is to crack the firewalls of the target organization–with the permission of the organization. This adds a new twist, paying someone to hack systems to discover the weaknesses.
One company that provides this service to all industries is IBM. Dave Gamey, of IBM Canada, is a consultant for public and private-sector organizations, including banks. Gamey is engaged in an ongoing war against computer criminals as a member of a 100-man team of "White Hats." The White Hats charge up to $40,000 to attempt to outwit their black-hatted opponents, using technologies such as Trojan horses, jails, spoofing, password guessers, war-dialers, stealth port scanners, firewalls, sniffers, daemons and finger commands. When Gamey and his team win, they can save a company embarrassment, anxiety, hours of labor costs and millions of dollars in potential losses. The $40,000 cost for this service is minimal; Gamey and his merry team of white hatters believe that they have saved millions for their clients.
Where Are We Heading
Traditionally, computer crimes have been inside jobs. But technology continues to advance, giving us all the potential to gain a competitive edge. Companies need take the proper steps to avoid internal hacking and to set security parameters, because it will become increasingly more expensive to secure data. John D. Spain, executive vice president of information technology security at Asset Management Solutions, an Atlanta-based security firm, says, "Companies need to classify their information. If you don't know what you need to protect, it's hard to protect it.". We must all become more knowledgeable about common occurrences of internal and external hacking in our types of businesses, to protect our investments better in the next millennium.
Network Security Systems are a great enough problem by itself. One that has the government setting regulations on the use of information flowing through the Internet with encryptions on it. Today our worry is the loss of great profits as a result of this hacker problem, let's hope that tomorrow our worry won't be that we will all be living in a world like the one depicted in the 1998 movie, "Enemy of the State," where the government is the real "Black Hat" to worry about.
Once we take the time and make the necessary investments to determine our security needs we will move one step closer to what we would all like to believe is "real security."

Reader Response: 5 More Awesome Rast Hacks
Yesterday's post — The Endlessly Adaptable IKEA Rast Dresser — yielded a number of reader comments about their own Rast hacks. We love seeing what our readers are are doing out there…
• Barbara, from Hodge Podge, pointed out that we failed to include her Rast in yesterday's roundup. With black paint on the body of the Rast and silver leaf paint on the drawer fronts, Barbara created an affordable but high style piece for her teen daughter's bedroom.
• Reader Sarah Rodgers included a link to her flickr page in her comment. It was there that we found her colorful Rast hack. Sarah painted the bodies of the dressers a colorful blue and used fabric to cover the drawer fronts. She then stacked two Rasts to create more storage.
• Lindsay, from Aubrey + Lindsay's Blog, brought our attention to her Rast project. Lindsay chose a dark stained body and white drawer fronts and completed the look with round brass drawer pulls.
• Faith directed us to her blog, Double Mommy, where she posted about her Rast hack. Faith stained the dressers in two tones — darker on the body, lighter on the drawer fronts — and pushed two side-by-side to create one larger piece.
• Great minds really do think alike. Shelli, from A La Mode Maven, also showed off her dark stained and white Rast hack, completed with round brass drawer pulls.

How much would you pay for a factory Ford hot rod? How much for the nicest traditional Deuce highboy you've ever seen?
Did you say, respectively, $220,000 and $133,100?
Those were the going prices at last weekend's Dingman Ford Collection auction in Kensington, New Hampshire, run by RM Auctions. The auction, which mostly included stock pre-war V-8 Fords, also had the two cars that would've made any hot rodder swoon.
The first, a 1933 Ford roadster, sans fenders, headlamps, running boards, windshield and rumble seat, constituted one of Ford's covert entries into the 1933 Elgin, Illinois, road races. Fred Frame, one of the top drivers of the day, stuffed his 1933 roadster into a tree during practice laps the day before, so he used another 1933 roadster that had served development mule duty for the actual race. It went through a number of hands over the years until Ford historian Ray Nacewicz bought it in 1982 and restored it to its current condition. The pre-auction estimate had it pegged at $125,000 to $175,000, which it handily toppled.
The second, a 1932 Ford highboy with a 24-stud flathead V-8, triple 97s, juice brakes, wide whites on steelies and a Columbia two-speed rear axle, had no documented history to go along with it, but its overall condition rivaled those of the impeccably restored Fords surrounding it. We didn't hear of any pre-auction estimate, but more than $133,000 for a Deuce highboy with no particular build history or high-profile name behind it should raise a few eyebrows.

Responsible sourcing means looking at what we purchase beyond the more traditional aspects of cost, quality and delivery time. Our focus on this means that we consider ethics, labour and social and environmental aspects when purchasing products and services, both for our direct and indirect suppliers.
Our goal is to minimise negative impacts and make a positive contribution to the businesses, people and communities that make up our supply chain. As a global company with many thousands of suppliers around the world, we have an obligation and an opportunity to promote responsible sourcing practices. We believe this is the right thing to do and also vital to remaining the packaging supplier of choice for our customers and for consumers. We have developed even stricter criteria for our purchase of the packaging materials used for Tetra Pak cartons: paperboard, polymers and aluminium.
Around three-quarters of a Tetra Pak carton by weight is paperboard. Although we don't own or manage any forests, we apply our purchasing power to promote sustainable forest management.
A Tetra Pak package has a thin layer of polymers, or plastic, to prevent moisture getting in or out and to keep the contents fresh. It is also used to make caps, closures and straws. Our long-term ambition is to offer all our chilled and ambient packages made from renewable alternatives to oil-based plastics.
On the inside of our aseptic cartons, a layer of aluminium eight times thinner than a human hair provides vital protection from oxygen and light, keeping perishable food safe without refrigeration for months. Although this layer is minute, we are continually innovating to make it as thin as possible, while investigating alternative barrier materials.
Do you want to know more about responsible sourcing?
About Tetra Pak
Together with our customers we make food safe and available, everywhere. Since the start in 1951 we have taken pride in providing the best possible processing and packaging solutions for food.
Tetra Pak is one of three companies in the Tetra Laval Group – a private group that started in Sweden. The other two companies are DeLaval and Sidel. Tetra Laval is headquartered in Switzerland.

The Bay Area will be spewing an additional 1.6 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually by 2040 if opponents of a new long-range land-use blueprint for the Bay Area get their way.
That estimate -- the equivalent of burning 20,456 tanker trucks of gasoline or 6,664 rail cars of coal -- comes from the environmental impact report for Plan Bay Area, a long-range housing blueprint that has ignited controversy in Marin.
A collaboration of four regional government agencies, Plan Bay Area was developed as a response to the California Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008, which requires each of the state's 18 metropolitan areas to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cars and light trucks.
The plan has sparked debate across Marin, with a coalition of neighborhood groups calling itself Citizen Marin opposing it and another group of residents, Concerned Marinites to End NIMBYism, defending the plan. The debate has heated up as an environmental impact report on the 40-year plan has circulated for public discussion. The impact report includes four alternatives to the Plan Bay Area scenario, and opponents of the plan have called for adoption of the "no project" alternative.
Susan Kirsch of Mill Valley, a Citizen Marin co-founder, said she supports the "no project" alternative because she believes Plan Bay Area offers "an insignificant amount of improvement over what would happen if we went with 'no project.'" She also questions the veracity of the numbers in the impact report.
"I think the assumptions and numbers we've been fed almost from the beginning have questionable elements to them," Kirsch said.
But Anthony Barnosky, a University of California, Berkeley professor of integrative biology, said, "We absolutely have to do everything we can to reduce greenhouse gas emissions."
Barnosky was lead author of a scientific paper last year warning that the Earth is approaching a tipping point beyond which the planet's climate and biodiversity will be radically and unalterably changed. On Thursday, 500 of the world's top global change scientists, including Barnosky, released a 30-page statement titled "Maintaining Humanity's Life Support Systems in the 21st Century."
Stephen Palumbi, one of the statement's 16 main authors, a professor of biological sciences at Stanford University, said, "In 30 years there are a few things that people will credit us for doing now, or bemoan our failure if we don't. Grappling with climate change, and stopping it, is the best gift we can give the future, because unstopped it will crack our society and impoverish our children."
Under the "no project" alternative, no new regional policies would be implemented in order to influence local land use patterns and no uncommitted transportation investments would be made. According to an analysis in the environmental impact report, the Bay Area would be producing about 42.9 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents annually by 2040 if the "no project" alternative is adopted. That compares with 41.3 million metric tons annually by 2040 if the Plan Bay Area scenario is approved.
The impact report contains two alternatives that would reduce the Bay Area's greenhouse gas production even more than the alternative preferred by Plan Bay Area. The scenario with the lowest greenhouse gas production has been dubbed the "environmental, equity and jobs" alternative. Language in the impact report minimizes the benefits of this alternative, however, stating that it "would result in the lowest level of environmental impacts, but only marginally lower," than the Plan Bay Area scenario.
Alex Karner, a researcher at UC Davis's Center for Regional Change, compared the "environmental, equity and jobs" alternative to the Plan Bay Area preferred alternative at the behest of Public Advocates, one of the environmental groups that lobbied for inclusion of the scenario in the impact report.
"Part of our work was to show that the marginal differences that they calculate in terms of percentages can actually be quite large when you multiply them out and look at the total numbers," Karner said.
Compared with the Plan Bay Area scenario, the "environment, equity and jobs" alternative would reduce the Bay Area's annual carbon dioxide production by another 568,000 metric tons per year -- the equivalent of 7,491 tanker trucks of gasoline or 2,440 rail cars of coal.
One of the principal criticisms of Plan Bay Area has been that it would foster high-density apartment developments that will damage Marin's pristine natural environment and small-town character. The "environment, equity and jobs" alternative would seek to maximize affordable housing in job-rich, urban and suburban areas through incentives and housing subsidies.
"I don't like it any better," said Kirsch, who objects to plans to coordinate Plan Bay Area with state laws requiring cities and counties to adjust their zoning laws to foster development of minimum amounts of new affordable and market-rate housing.
But Barnosky said, "There is no local anymore. Everything we do has global implications and everything that we rely on comes from far outside where we live. We have to start thinking globally."
Suburban growth in the "environment, equity and jobs" alternative would be supported by increased transit service to historically disadvantaged communities. The beefed-up transit service would be paid for with higher bridge tolls and a new "vehicle miles traveled," or VMT, tax.
Kirsch said, "It feels like these are Draconian measures."
The environmental impact report identifies this approach as the "environmentally superior alternative" due to its reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and toxic air contaminants. The impact report also notes, however, that implementation of the VMT tax may prove unfeasible because it "may require approval by a two-thirds supermajority of the Legislature." And the report states that this alternative "assumes residential growth at levels that some local jurisdictions may be unlikely to implement."
But Richard Marcantonio, managing attorney at Public Advocates in San Francisco, said, "The 'environmental, equity and jobs' alternative demonstrates that when you increase funding for transit service, you get a better Bay Area all around -- less traffic, less emissions, improved public health. The point isn't that more transit funding has to come from a carbon or VMT fee. But it has to come from somewhere, and we as a region need urgently to have that discussion."
Under the Plan Bay Area preferred alternative, 80 percent of housing growth and 66 percent of job growth over the next 37 years would be channeled into 170 "priority development areas," scattered throughout the Bay Area. These "PDA's" have been identified voluntarily by cities or counties as areas for future growth. They typically provide access to mass transit, jobs, shopping and other services. Cities and counties would be rewarded with grant money if they adopt zoning policies in their PDAs that make higher-density projects possible.
It is assumed that about 60 percent of the reduction in carbon dioxide caused by cars and light trucks achieved under this approach by 2035 would result from encouraging housing and job growth closer to mass transit; the other 40 percent would be achieved by spending $640 million to encourage car sharing and implement other transportation climate initiatives, said Michele Rodriguez, a former principal planner with the county of Marin.
Carolyn Clevenger, a policy analyst with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, said, "It's an important part of the proposed plan that we invest in programs that reduce greenhouse gases. If you go with the 'no project,' you wouldn't be investing in any of these programs."

Press Release - Sessions Statement in Support of No Budget, No Pay Act
WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Congressman Pete Sessions (R-TX), Chairman of the House Rules Committee, today released the following statement regarding the No Budget, No Pay Act:
"For nearly four years, the Democrat-led Senate has failed to meet its most basic obligation by refusing to pass a budget. Americans in the private sector face consequences for failing to do their jobs, and I strongly believe that we should impose the same accountability on Members of Congress. The objective of the No Budget, No Pay Act is simple: if you don't do your work, you don't get paid.

Côte d'Ivoire won their first-ever African U-17 Championship when they beat the favourites Nigeria 5-4 on penalties in the final in the Moroccan city of Marrakech after the match ended 1-1 at the end of 90 minutes. The victory was the second time the Baby Elephants had beaten the Golden Eaglets at the tournament. The two countries will be joined by north African rivals Tunisia and Morocco, who finished third and fourth respectively, as the continent's representatives at the FIFA U-17 World Cup United Arab Emirates 2013.
The qualifiers
Côte d'Ivoire reached the semi-finals of the event in 2011, and the Baby Elephants performed even better this time around. Drawn into the Group of Death with African heavyweights Nigeria and Ghana, the Ivorians did not have the best of starts as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Congo. This placed Ibrahim Kamara's side under pressure in their next game against two-time champions Nigeria, but Dogbole Niangbo's last-gasp goal gave the side the three points they needed. Not assured of a place in the semi-finals ahead of their final group game against Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire held on for the draw they required to finish runners-up in the group.
Released of the pressure of qualification, they then breezed past the hosts 2-1. In the final, the Ivorians fell behind to an early Nigerian goal scored by Izu Omego, but Bile Bedia equalised midway through the first half after running into space following a free-kick. After the 90 minutes ended 1-1, the winners had to be decided in a penalty shoot-out with the Ivorians prevailing as all five of their players converted their spot-kicks, with Niangbo scoring the decisive fifth after goalkeeper Aboubakar Diabagate saved Chidiebere Nwakali's penalty. Côte d'Ivoire captain Franck Kessie said that it had not been a struggle: "Nothing is easy on earth. We had to stick together to move forward and achieve this for all the people of Côte d'Ivoire. I am proud because we had a hard time winning this trophy, but we dedicate this victory to all the Ivorians."
Like for Côte d'Ivoire and Congo, the competition began in the worst possible way for Nigeria as three of their players were barred from the competition as CAF ruled their ages questionable. The controversy seemed not to perturb the Golden Eaglets though, as they ran riot against a ten-man Ghana side in their opening match - recording a 6-1 win, with striker Success Isaac scoring four goals. Defeat against the eventual champions left Nigeria needing to win their final group match against Congo to be assured of a place in the semi-finals and again the west Africans slammed in the goals as they won 7-0 to advance to the next round with a 13-2 goal difference from their three matches. They scored another four in a 4-2 semi-final victory against Tunisia, but then came up unlucky in the final as they had Akinjide Idowu sent off and then missed a single spot-kick. Nigerian coach Manu Garba was disappointed with the result. "Our aim was to come here and win this trophy and make Nigerians happy," he said.
Tunisia did all the hard work in their two opening matches, as they first beat Botswana and then Gabon to be assured of a place in the semi-finals - and the FIFA U-17 World Cup - ahead of their last group match, which they then duly drew 1-1 against the Moroccans. In the round of the last-four, they were no match for the Golden Eaglets, and their play-off for third place had to be decided on penalties after a 1-1 draw and it took 24 penalties before Tunisia finally won 11-10.
The hosts Morocco were making their first appearance at the championships and had achieved their goal already after beating Gabon 4-1 and Botswana 3-0. A draw against Tunisia saw them top their group, but in the semi-final, Côte d'Ivoire proved too strong as they lost 2-1. In the third-place play-off Younes Bnou Marzouk managed to level matters, but their luck ran out in the long shoot-out.
The other pretenders
In Group A Botswana's run of not winning a game continued, as the only team from southern Africa lost all three group matches, taking their tournament record to zero for nine. Rookies Gabon were also knocked out of the tournament after their two opening matches, but they ended their participation on a high as they beat Botswana 3-1. Two-time African and world champions Ghana never really recovered from the drubbing by Nigeria, although a 1-1 draw in their next game against Congo kept them in the competition. But they failed to beat the Ivorians in their final match and were knocked out, missing the FIFA U-17 World Cup for only the fifth time in their history. Congo, who escaped the group phase at Mexico 2011, were knocked out after being on the receiving end of the hiding by Nigeria in their final game, having two men sent off.
Ones to watch
Nigeria's aptly named Success Isaac scored seven goals in five matches and was ably supported by Kelechi Iheanacho, who scored five. The most impressive players in the Ivorian side were goalkeeper Diabagate, striker Niangbo, as well as captain Kessie. Moroccan defender Mohamed El Bouazzati looked the part and could be a player for the future, while Marzouk showed that he is handy in front of goal as he scored four. Hazem Haj Hassen got the same number for Tunisia, for whom captain Chamseddine Samti also drew notice.

DE Blake McClain of Jacksonville said Tuesday night he has made his decision between USC and Nebraska and will announce the choice Wednesday at 9:00 AM at his school.
McClain committed to Nebraska last week on an official visit there but USC continued to recruit him hard and worked their way into a 50-50 position with him before he made his decision Wednesday night after discussing things with his family.
"It was very tough," McClain said. "I did a lot of talking with my parents and we went through a re-evaluation of everything. But I think I made the right decision."
Asked if there was one particular factor that led to his decision, McClain declined to say to avoid tipping his hand on the choice.
McClain talked Tuesday night with USC head coach Steve Spurrier and recruiter Steve Spurrier Jr. as well as his recruiter from Nebraska.
He said he has told no one of his decision.

Enjoying the Movie Music? You Might Have NYC's Grandest Ballroom to ThankThe superb acoustics of the Grand Ballroom have made this venue perfect for music recording
The very first film score in cinematic history-for Warner Brothers' Don Juan, starring John Barrymore and Mary Astor-was recorded in the Grand Ballroom in 1926, using then-new Vitaphone technology to capture the sound of the 107 musicians of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. Then and now, the superb acoustics of the Grand Ballroom have made this magnificent venue perfect for music recording, whether the project is a full-blown orchestral film score, a live concert or other album recording, including those of Broadway shows. The natural reverberation of the room produces a particular sound quality that defies emulation.
Academy Award-winning film scores and Oscar-nominated soundtracks are frequently recorded in the Grand Ballroom. Since the mid-1990s alone, the film scores recorded or mixed at the Manhattan Center have included those for Interview with a Vampire, Fargo, Batman Forever, The Red Violin, You've Got Mail, Everything Is Illuminated, TinTin, Frida (for which its composer, Elliot Goldenthal, won an Oscar), Across the Universe and dozens more. This room has seen the birth of countless one-of-a-kind performances, including film scores, classical recordings, broadcasts and telethons. "The acoustics are top-notch," says Darren Moore, the Chief Audio Engineer of Manhattan Center Productions. "We love the artists who come through these doors, so we make sure they have the best experience possible." (Besides film scores, other album recordings in the Grand have been made by Tony Bennett, Sting, Harry Connick, Jr., Chick Correa, Herbie Hancock and Leonard Bernstein.)
The Grand Ballroom sports a state-of-the-art Nexo concert sound system and a dazzling 40-foot-high ceiling including strategic rigging points catering to any production requirement, and it is interconnected to Manhattan Center Productions' audio recording studios and HD television control rooms.
A separate recording studio, the "Log Cabin," combines the ease and efficiency of digital technology with a Pro Tools HD Accel system, to the proven warmth and musicality of a best-of-breed 72-channel analog console, complete with classic outboard gear and the latest plugins. A self-contained studio complete with a spacious live room, isolated drum booth, lounge and kitchen, the Log Cabin is a producer's, artist's and engineer's dream studio. The roster of celebrated composers who have taken advantage this facility for movie soundtracks alone, include David Arnold, Danny Elfman, Terrence Blanchard, George Fenton, Carter Burwell, Elliot Goldenthal, John Corigliano, Howard Shore, Stanley Clark, Stephen Trask, Marcello Zarvos, Theodore Shapiro (for Walter Mitty) and Clint Mansell (for the upcoming movie Noah). More recently, Elliot Goldenthal and Julie Taymor, along with various child actors, were engaged in recording activities in the Log Cabin related to Ms. Taymor's new production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, currently running at Polonsky Shakespeare Center in Brooklyn.
Then there is Studio 7. This studio houses a unique custom-modified Neve VR 96-channel console recording to 5.1 surround on a Pro Tools HD Accel system, or to any of a variety of digital or analog multitrack tape formats. It is wired to record or mix sound from the Hammerstein Ballroom or the Grand Ballroom. "With all these amenities, we believe these studios are truly a producer's, artist's and engineer's dream," says Joel Scheuneman, Director of Audio Engineering at Manhattan Center Studios. "Our intention is to keep them coming back by keeping them on cloud nine."
Finally, Manhattan Center offers more than 20 edit rooms of varying sizes able to accommodate the most demanding online or self-supervised offline editing clientele. These post-production suites have fiber and copper connectivity to over 48 terabytes of shared network storage on an EditShare.
Due in part to its reputation as the ideal venue to record and mix film soundtracks and other types of productions, the studios at the Manhattan Center continue to attract a wide variety of musical clients.
For example, when Myspace made the decision to showcase live performances of today's hottest up-and-coming musical acts, it chose the Log Cabin. To date, Myspace's Live at the Log Cabin series has hosted a wide variety of acts whose live performances have been posted online, ranging from Manchester, UK-based alt rock band The 1975 to American hip-hop duo Run the Jewels. Joseph Patel, VP Content & Creative at Myspace, has described the Log Cabin as a "hidden gem of a studio in the middle of Midtown Manhattan."
And in October, when Martin Audio Ltd., a designer of leading-edge live performance systems, wanted to conduct a series of exclusive demonstrations of its award-winning MLA Compact(tm) Multi-cellular Loudspeaker Array, it set up shop inside the Grand Ballroom for a two-day special event for members of the concert industry.
As these facts demonstrate, film soundtrack recording and production is just a part of Manhattan Center's allure. Meanwhile, incentives provided by New York State for in-state movie production ensure that Manhattan Center Productions will remain a popular choice for studios' film score recordings for years to come.

text: Drivers for Success in 2014: Data Decisions December 6, 2013 07:59 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Farm Journal Editors Email Malcolm Gladwell's book, "The Tipping Point," looks at how ideas or concepts can behave like viruses. As they infect enough people and build critical mass, they "tip" and become pervasive throughout society. We'll remember 2014 as the tipping point for incorporating data to drive decisions on the farm. Farmers can effectively create their own research farm by creating replicated strips in their fields and tallying the results. Want to know if Hybrid A performs better than Hybrid B? Want to know if you should've used a basic or premium seed treatment package? Want to know if that V5 fungicide application paid off? Big data can help farmers unlock those questions and many others. Before we can run, though, we have to learn to walk. Farmers must develop a comfort level with precision agriculture hardware and software in order to harness their farm's data into actionable management changes. An AgWeb survey in October revealed that 25% of respondents use no precision ag technology on their operation, and less than 20% use it throughout their business. At the same time, these technologies can help farmers become better informed, more proactive and ultimately more profitable as they make quicker in-season decisions. The same AgWeb survey shows respondents who use precision ag technology throughout their operations captured average corn yields of 176 bu. per acre, compared with 152 bu. per acre for those who are not using precision ag. At today's commodity prices, that's nearly $100 extra per acre a farmer could realize. That's not even addressing other more subjective benefits of precision agriculture. Auto-steer capability, for example, eases operator fatigue and allows you to concentrate on other aspects of running the tractor. How do you assign a dollar value to something like that?

Pre-game preview: Louisville
Here's a pre-game preview of UConn's American Athletic Conference showdown with No. 18 Louisville tonight at Gampel Pavilion:
Tip-off time: 9 p.m. (ESPN)
Records: Louisville 15-3, 4-1; UConn 14-3, 2-2
Last game: Louisville beat Houston, 91-52, Thursday; UConn won at No. 17 Memphis, 83-73, Thursday
Probable starters:
UConn, 6-0 jr. guard Ryan Boatright (12.4 pts, 3.6 assists), 6-1 sr. guard Shabazz Napier (16.1 pts, 6.2 assists, 6.2 rebs), 6-8 jr. forward DeAndre Daniels (13.4 pts, 5.3 rebs), 6-6 grad. forward Lasan Kromah (6.9 pts, 2.5 rebs), 7-foot fr. center Amida Brimah (3.7 pts, 2.6 rebs)
Louisville, 6-0 sr. guard Russ Smith (18.1 pts, 4.9 assists), 6-1 fr. guard Terry Rozier (6.9 pts), 6-6 sr. forward Luke Hancock (10.5 pts, 2.3 rebs), 6-8 so. forward Montrezl Harrell (11.7 pts, 8.2 rebs), 6-10 fr. center Mangok Mathiang (4.2 pts, 4.1 rebs)
-- Boatright is expected to play tonight.
He'll play with a heavy heart. He's dealing with the loss of his 20-year-old cousin, Arin Williams, who was shot to death on Monday in Aurora,Ill., Boatright's hometown.
He paid tribute to him by writing his cousin's initials on his left cheek for the Memphis game.
-- The ESPN College GameDay crew will be on hand tonight. Doors will open at 7:30 p.m. Students were spotted camping out on Friday.
-- Series: Louisville leads 8-6, winning six of last seven including its last two trips to Storrs.
-- The Cardinals have scored at least 90 points seven times, averaging an AAC best 83.4 points.
-- Top reserve: 6-5 junior swingman Wayne Blackshear (9.9 pts), who had career-high 23 pts vs. Houston in his first game off the bench this season.
-- Smith ranks second in the AAC in scoring.
-- Hot: Daniels is 13-for-22 (59 percent) from 3-point land in last five games.
Cold: Napier is shooting 35 percent in last five games. He's been bothered by tendonitis in his left knee.
-- The Cardinals are first in the nation in turnover margin at plus 7, scoring an average of 21.4 points off turnovers. So the Huskies will have to take care of the ball tonight.
-- Stat to watch: UConn is first in the AAC in 3-point field goal percentage (41.4) and Louisville ranks first in 3-point FG defense (30.0).
-- Smith and UConn's Phil Nolan were teammates on the East Coast All-Stars, a summer touring team.
-- UConn has won the battle of the boards in three straight games, the longest streak during coach Kevin Ollie's two seasons as head coach. The Huskies are 8-0 this season when out-rebounding an opponent.
-- Napier has had consecutive games with double figure assists for the first time in his career.
-- Louisville was the overwhelming pick to win the AAC in the coaches' preseason, receiving nine votes. Coach Rick Pitino cast his vote for UConn, which was second.
Here's what he said about his choice at media day last fall:
"I was trying to decide between Memphis and UConn," Pitino said. "To be quite honest, it was one and one-A. … I had a tough time deciding between them.
"I wanted to vote it as a tie but they told me I couldn't do it. So I just picked UConn because of more familiarity."
Pitino went on to explain his choice. He pointed to coach Kevin Ollie as one reason.
"I think they have a great backcourt and a terrific frontcourt," Pitino said. "They have a coach that is not only a terrific young coach, they have a coach that there is not a living room in the country that he'll walk into when he leaves that that family won't want to put him in the top three choices to go to school.
"That's how impressed I've been with Kevin Ollie for the last 10 years."
During his NBA coaching days with the Boston Celtics, Pitino cut Ollie from the team.

Finally, the excerpts below from a 2007 memo from CTC to a House Ways Means Committee member setting parameters for administering a federal carbon tax may be helpful.memo from CTC to a House Ways Means Committee
Tax Upstream
We propose to tax fuels as far upstream as practicable, i.e., at the point where possession of the carbon-bearing fuel passes from the "producer" (e.g., coal mine; oil wellhead or tanker; gas wellhead) to the immediate next entity in the supply chain (e.g., coal shipper or utility; oil refiner or importer; natural gas pipeline). Presumably, each such transfer will be codified in a contract, or at least a bill of lading, specifying the attributes of the fuel.
This will minimize the number of points in the economy at which the tax would be levied. It will also simplify tax treatment of potential downstream carbon control technologies such as CCS (coal capture and sequestration), as discussed below.
Carbon Variability Requires Taxing by Btu, not by Fuel Weight or Volume
The tax rates will be stated in dollars per million Btu of heat content for each fuel. A more familiar approach based on physical quantities of fuel isn't tenable, due to wide natural variations in carbon content within each fuel type. These variations are most stark for coal. A ton of lignite typically contains around 40% less carbon than a typical ton of bituminous coal, for example. To tax the two respective tons at the same dollar rate would be grossly unfair since combustion of the lignite ton releases 40% less carbon into the atmosphere than for the bituminous ton. Actual disparities would be even more pervasive and pronounced on account of variations in carbon content per ton within each major coal category (bituminous, subbituminous and lignite).

A former Muscatine doctor who was accused of prescribing drugs to his patients in exchange for sex has been sentenced to eight years in prison.
David Gierlus, of Illinois City, Ill., received the sentence during a hearing Thursday.
U.S. District Judge Stephanie Rose also gave the 60-year-old a hefty fine of $400,000. His wife sobbed as he was immediately taken into custody.
Court records show Gierlus was accused of having sexual contact with 18 victims, including three patients who were drugged before being assaulted.
The Quad-City Times reports Rose called Gierlus a "sexual predator" who preyed on vulnerable women.
Gierlus pleaded guilty in March to one count of unlawfully distributing a controlled substance. Nearly 100 counts were dismissed as part of a plea deal.

Writing Center
Writing Center at Waynesburg University
The Waynesburg University Writing Center is a comfortable place for students to talk about writing and important ideas. Bring papers to us at any stage of the writing process, whether you have an assignment sheet or a final draft, for a personalized meeting with one of our writing consultants.
Our peer writing consultants study in a variety of majors- conferences are productive and helpful to student writers in understanding academic conventions in specific fields. The Writing Center's primary goal is to share tools and techniques necessary for students to develop rich and varied writing abilities.
We are located in 204 Eberly, on the top floor of the library, just through a set of French doors. The Writing Center is a low-key, welcoming spot on the Waynesburg University campus where we believe that all writers need good readers. We'll be waiting for you. At the Writing Center, we talk about:
Early stages: Planning and Organizing
- Understanding writing assignments and prompts
- Reading and analyzing text
- Understanding different writing genres
- Conceptualizing and brainstorming
- Planning and outlining
Middle Stages: Writing Quality and Development
- Developing presentations
- Structuring multimedia/multigenre projects
- Drafting and revising
- Composing more effective introductions and conclusions
- Expanding research techniques
- Building and refining support
Later Stages: The Finishing Touch
- Demonstrating effective editing techniques
- Strengthening grammar and syntax
- Checking paper and citation format
- Enriching writing
What Happens in a Writing Center Appointment?
Face-to-Face Appointments
You'll be greeted by a writing consultant and invited to have a seat at one of our tables (Perhaps you'd like a snack from our basket!). When you completed your appointment request at http://waynesburg.mywconline.com you indicated what type of assignment you're writing, as well as areas of concern or focus. (You also have the option of uploading a draft or document to your appointment.) Your writing consultant will discuss your questions, and the two of you will agree on goals for the session such as:
- the meaning of the assignment
- brainstorming, planning or organizing
- checking grammar or citations
If you've brought a draft, you may be asked to read parts of it aloud The two of you will have a conversation in which your consultant offers feedback, asks questions, and models strategies you can use. Be prepared to take notes or mark up your paper, as our consultants are not permitted to write on your paper. Your consultant will then summarize your discussion, and you'll be asked to complete a short, online evaluation of your session. Before you leave, you may want to make a follow-up appointment.
Online Appointments
(Online appointments are not open to freshmen.) If you'd like to book an online appointment, you will need to indicate your preference when you access www.waynesburg.mywconline.com by clicking the Online button. Note that not all writing consultants offer online appointments, so you'll need to look for the online icon next to the consultant's name. We recommend that online appointments be 60 minutes as these appointments lack the immediacy of direct conversation. You'll have the opportunity to upload a document when you schedule your appointment. At the appointment time, you will click the "Join Session" button. Once the session begins, you'll be able to communicate with your consultant via a chat feature. The consultant will not write "on" your paper, so all Writing Center comments will appear within the chat box.
Graduate Student E-Tutoring Appointments
The Writing Center offers asynchronous online appointments to graduate students through the E-tutoring schedule on WCOnline. Students new to WCOnline must register at https://waynesburg.mywconline.com. Once registered, students should choose the E-tutoring schedule on the log-in page by moving the arrow in the white drop-down box. On the E-tutoring schedule, appointments can be made by clicking on available times, completing the appointment form, and uploading a paper. E-tutoring appointments are asynchronous, so students will not need to be present online during the appointment. Instead, a writing consultant will add comments and suggestions to the assignment via the Word Comment feature and then upload the document to the appointment block. When the reviewed document is ready, students will receive email notification and can then retrieve their reviewed papers by re-entering their original appointments. More information about E-tutoring appointments and the Writing Center can be found at http://waynesburg.libguides.com/writingcenter.
Peer Tutoring
Interested in becoming a peer tutor? Contact Jill Sunday, director of the Writing Center, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 724-852-3224 to learn more.
1. Where is the Writing Center?
The Writing Center is located in 204 Eberly, which is on the top floor of the library.
2. When is the Writing Center open?
Our schedule changes from semester to semester because of our peer writing consultants' own class commitments, but you can easily check our hours by visiting www.waynesburg.mywconline.com
3. How can I make an appointment?
You can schedule an appointment (for either a 30-minute or a 60-minute session) by logging into www.waynesburg.mywconline.com
- Enter your user name and password (If you've never visited the Writing Center before, you'll need to register for the system by clicking on the Register button.)
- Clicking on an open appointment.
You can also take your chances on getting a walk-in appointment by stopping into the Center.
4. Who works in the Writing Center?
Our staff consists of a Writing Center Director, who also teaches in the English department, a graduate assistant, and several peer writing consultants. Our consultants are all strong writers who have taken a credit-bearing course in teaching writing.
5. Will the Writing Center staff help only with papers for my English class?
No! Our writing consultants major in a variety of subjects, including English, International Relations, Bible Ministry Studies, Biology, Education, Environmental Science, and Nursing. The Writing Center staff is prepared to help you with any writing assignment for any class offered at Waynesburg University.
6. Can I drop off my paper to be proofread?
Writing Center consultants do not check or correct papers without the student author's interaction. Instead, we aim to help students become stronger writers by discussing and modeling writing techniques. Be prepared to take notes during your appointment, as our writing consultants are not permitted to write on your paper.
7. Should I visit right before my paper is due?
Since we aren't an editing service, we encourage student writers to visit early in the writing process, so enough time remains to incorporate ideas and techniques discovered during the appointment. Our surveys show that students find visiting during the brainstorming stage to be most beneficial, especially when a follow-up visit during the drafting stage occurs. Of course, you may always come in for an additional touch-up session right before your paper is due.
8. What should I bring to my appointment?
Bring the writing assignment you'd like to work on, your professor's prompt, your course syllabus, and any other materials you're using to write this assignment. For example, if you are writing about a short story, bring your literature text. If you are writing a lab report, bring the notes you made while performing the experiment.
9. Will visiting the Writing Center guarantee me a good grade?
We believe that discussing your writing will help to strengthen your skills, but there are no guarantees. We don't think about or discuss grades in the Writing Center. We focus, instead, on your words.
10. Will you let my professor know that I've visited?
Some professors build a Writing Center visit into the class coursework, and we will email those professors to let them know you've been in. If your visit isn't part of your coursework, we won't email your professor unless you request that we do.

Daphne did not disappoint the crowds, finding time to chat and pose for photographs- even clambering into a Special Weapons Dalek! She was a charming and generous guest to the store.
Hyde Fundraisers also attended the event and entertained the crowds as Cybermen, Hieronymous, a Special Weapons Dalek, 4th Doctor, 5th Doctor and other Doctor Who characters.
A signed photo of Daphne as Grace is still available to mail order customers as a limited edition- Visit the miscellaneous section and go to autographed items for details on how to order.
Another of UNITs finest joined us for a special signing event at the Galaxy Four Store on 20th March. John appeared throughout the Jon Pertwee era and again in Terror Of the Zygons and The Android Invasion with the fourth Doctor, Tom Baker.
As John now lives in Hollywood this was a very rare opportunity to meet him and he didn't disappoint!
John is a real entertainer and attracted the largest number of attendees to date with his charismatic personality and barrage of non-stop jokes and stories. For 4 hours he entertained the crowds and signed autographs almost non-stop.
Photos show John surrounded by Cybermen in the G4 exhibition and signing autographs in-store.

Bower celebrates 104th year
ARNOLD -- An Arnold centenarian-plus celebrated her birthday Nov. 11 and now into her fourth year past the 100 year mark, this fixture of independence reigns queen with her smile. Miriam Bower was born Nov. 11, 1906, which means she just celebrated her 104th birthday! With the help of her daughter Ruth, Miriam is able to reside in her own home where she's lived since 1937. Ruth assists her mother by checking in on her each day to be sure she's taken her pills and to lend a hand with cleaning and meal preparation. Miriam was born in Idaho and when she was six, her family decided to relocate to the Arnold area. She and her six brothers lived there for a while before the family decided to move again, this time to Dupree, S.D. Miriam would graduate high school in Dupree and begin her teaching career as well, before getting married in 1928, to her late husband Gerrit Brower. Eventually the couple would move onto a ranch, northwest of Arnold, for a short time, before settling down in town, living in the house where Miriam currently dwells. By the time the Brower's settled in Arnold, Miriam had given up teaching to become a full-time mom. She never needed to have a job after getting married and focused her time and energy on raising her family and being involved within the community. Miriam did disclose that she'd done some babysitting, once her own children had grown. With a smile on her face, she told about how the "little girl" she used to babysit still comes to visits her. When discussing the village of Arnold, Miriam remarked, "Well I think it's been a good town." She elaborated by saying she likes how the town observes holidays and especially enjoys seeing its citizens decorate their homes with lights for Christmas. Miriam is also a faithful member of the Nazarene Church in Arnold, where she's held such titles such as the Missionary President. Quilting and sewing, playing scrabble, and watching sports are other pastimes that Miriam is fond of. However, she did have to clarify that she isn't a football fan, but loves to watch basketball. Another occasion Miriam looks forward to, that occurs every few years, is her family's "Four Generation Vacation" and the name says it all. The vacation consists of a long road trip involving four generations of women from the family. The Brower's were married for 62 years and in that time produced nine children together, six of which are living. Currently, Miriam has 19 grandchildren, 50 great grandchildren, and 18 great great grandchildren. She also shared that she's expecting two more great great grandchildren to arrive soon. She, like any grandmother, enjoys visits and phone calls from her family.
