SEATTLE, Sept. 10, 2013 -- Omeros Corporation (NASDAQ: OMER) today announced that it recently submitted a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) seeking approval to market OMS302 for use in patients undergoing intraocular lens replacement (ILR) surgery in the European Union (EU). Added to standard irrigation solution used during ILR, OMS302 is Omeros' proprietary PharmacoSurgery® product that, across multiple human trials, demonstrated clinically meaningful and statistically significant maintenance of intraoperative mydriasis (pupil dilation), prevention of intraoperative miosis (pupil constriction), and reduction of postoperative ocular pain.
With the submission by Omeros of a New Drug Application (NDA) for OMS302 to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in July 2013, the MAA represents Omeros' second major submission seeking regulatory authorization to market OMS302. The EMA previously granted OMS302 eligibility for centralized review, determining that the product represents a significant therapeutic innovation. The MAA for OMS302, therefore, was submitted through EMA's Centralized Procedure, which allows submission of a single application that, when approved, authorizes the drug to be marketed in all EU member states and European Free Trade Association countries rather than requiring separate national approvals. The NDA and MAA are each subject to an initial evaluation prior to commencement of the formal review process. Assuming successful completion of the review process and approval of the NDA and MAA, OMS302 is expected to be available to ophthalmic surgeons and their patients in the U.S. and Europe in the second half of 2014.
"Having submitted two major marketing applications just weeks apart for our lead product is an outstanding achievement," said Gregory A. Demopulos, M.D., chairman and chief executive officer of Omeros. "Omeros' commercialization activities in anticipation of 2014 launches in both the U.S. and Europe are well underway, and we look forward to making OMS302 available to surgeons and their patients."
About Omeros' OMS302 Program
OMS302 is Omeros' product being developed for use during intraocular lens replacement, including cataract surgery and refractive lens exchange. OMS302 is a proprietary combination of the mydriatic (pupil dilating) agent phenylephrine and the anti-inflammatory agent ketorolac. Omeros submitted an NDA to the FDA in July 2013 and recently submitted an MAA to the EMA.
ILR involves replacement of the original lens of the eye with an artificial intraocular lens. These procedures are typically performed to replace a lens opacified by a cataract or to correct a refractive error of the lens (i.e., refractive lens exchange). OMS302 is added to standard irrigation solution used in ILR and delivered within the eye to maintain intraoperative mydriasis (pupil dilation), to reduce surgically induced miosis (pupil constriction), and to reduce postoperative pain and irritation. Maintenance of mydriasis is critical to the safety and surgical ease of the procedure. Intraoperative pupil constriction increases the risk of injury to intraocular structures and can substantially prolong surgical time.
About Omeros Corporation
Omeros is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to discovering, developing and commercializing products targeting inflammation, coagulopathies and disorders of the central nervous system. The Company's most clinically advanced product candidates, OMS302 for lens replacement surgery and OMS103HP for arthroscopy, are derived from its proprietary PharmacoSurgery™ platform designed to improve clinical outcomes of patients undergoing a wide range of surgical and medical procedures. Omeros has six clinical development programs. Omeros may also have the near-term capability, through its GPCR program, to add a large number of new drug targets and their corresponding compounds to the market. Behind its clinical candidates and GPCR platform, Omeros is building a diverse pipeline of protein and small-molecule preclinical programs targeting inflammation, coagulopathies and central nervous system disorders.

Former Auburn tight end Philip Lutzenkirchen, who played on the 2010 national championship team, died Sunday morning in a car accident. He was 23.
Multiple media outlets reported the death of Lutzenkirchen, who was considered one of the most popular players on the team.
The accident occurred outside LaGrange, Ga., at 3:06 a.m. Police said a 2006 Chevy Tahoe missed a stop sign at a "t-intersection" before heading off the intersection and into a churchyard. The car lost control for about 450 feet, overturned and ejected all four passengers from the vehicle.
Lutzenkirchen, a passenger, was killed at the scene. The driver, Joseph Davis, also died.
"I'm deeply saddened by the untimely passing of Philip Lutzenkirchen," coach Gus Malzahn said in a statement. "He was a great young man who touched the lives of everyone he knew in a positive way. On the field, Philip was a great player and competitor, but more importantly, he was a great teammate and friend off the field.
"My thoughts and prayers are with Philip's parents, Mike and Mary, and all of his family and friends who are grieving his passing. This is a sad day for the entire Auburn family. I find peace knowing that even though Philip was taken from us too soon, that he lived his life to the fullest, leaving a lifetime of great memories for his family and friends to cherish forever."
Lutzenkirchen made 59 catches for 628 yards with 14 touchdowns at Auburn.
"Philip's death is a devastating tragedy for his family, the Auburn family and his countless friends," athletic director Jay Jacobs said in a statement. "Today is also a profoundly sad day for the Auburn Athletics family, who loved and respected Philip not only as a great player but more importantly as a friend and the epitome of an Auburn man. I came to know Philip well and I admired everything about who he was and the way he lived his life. He had a strong faith, a big heart and a burning desire to help others.
"Philip was a bright light this world desperately needed, and his death leaves a void that can't possibly be filled. My prayers, my thoughts and my heart go out to his wonderful parents, Mike and Mary, their entire family and his many grieving friends."
The Auburn Family mourns the loss of our friend Philip Lutzenkirchen (1991-2014). He'll forever live in our hearts. pic.twitter.com/VXXW2ePzSA— Auburn Tigers (@AuburnTigers) June 29, 2014

Former Hearts manager Csaba Laszlo is believed to have applied for the vacant job at Oxford United.
The 49-year-old has an impressive CV, with stints across Europe, most recently in charge of the Lithuania national team.
He stepped down in September and is understood to be keen to get back into management, preferably in England.
Born in Romania but a Hungarian citizen, the former midfielder has been linked to a variety of jobs in the past week, including the vacancies at Shrewsbury Town and Stenhousemuir.
Laszlo enjoyed success north of the border, guiding Hearts into the Europa League via a third-place finish in the Scottish Premier League in 2009.
He would be a left-field candidate, but a spell in charge of German club Borussia Monchengladbach's youth set-up may be of interest to U's chairman Ian Lenagan, who is looking for someone to develop talent.
Accrington manager James Beattie remains the favourite with bookmakers, just ahead of caretaker boss Mickey Lewis, who has picked up six points during his four games in charge.

Bobo's curved vintage credenza has hatch-like doors and a riveted, industrial finish. While this model sports wine racks inside, it would also be perfect for a masculine office.
Every furniture collection and designer piece is special and unique in one way or another. Not all, however, are as priceless as the Camus series. This is a collection that preserves and promotes a heritage of extraordinary craftsmanship and which is meant to be appreciated for its artistic value and for the concept it represents. The furniture pieces in this series inspire people to find something beyond the geometry that defines them. In order for these designs to be fully appreciated and understood they need to be seen, touched and felt.
Sideboards usually have short legs and in some cases they even go all the way down to the floor. Also, the traditional kind sometimes featured a hutch at the top which was used for the display of China and other things. Modern sideboards such as this one from Fiona McDonald have little in common with the original designs. Nevertheless, they keep alive the spirit and charm of this furniture piece. The term sideboard is the most widely used one from the ones previously mentioned.

Pacific Investment Management Co.'s new normal, the prediction that global economic growth and investment returns would tumble, is proving half right.
Bill Gross and Mohamed El-Erian, the co-chief investment officers of the Newport Beach, California-based money management company that oversees $1.9 trillion, correctly foresaw that global expansion would remain sluggish. The world's economy probably grew 2.2 percent last year, below the 3.2 percent average of the decade before the 2008 financial crisis, according to World Bank data compiled by Bloomberg.
Pimco's outlook, announced in 2009, was less accurate for financial assets as unprecedented stimulus by central banks drove up demand for stocks and bonds. Fixed-income securities around the world returned more than the average of the past 16 years in 2012 and the value of global equities increased by $6.5 trillion as the MSCI All-Country World Index rose 13.4 percent.
"They've underestimated how big the policy response would be and what type of positive impact it would have on financial markets," said Jay Schwister, a managing director and senior money manager in Milwaukee at Baird Advisors, which oversees $17 billion of bonds. "From the real economy standpoint, the new normal that Pimco forecast is pretty much playing out," he said Jan. 3 in a telephone interview.
New Normal
Gross, 68, who manages the world's biggest bond fund, and El-Erian, 54, the firm's chief executive officer, captured the imagination of investors in an October 2009 report when they forecast a "new normal" for the global economy, where "the deleveraging, re-regulation and de-globalization that will weigh on growth is likely to be the new model in the foreseeable future." They predicted returns on assets "half of what they were during the previous 10-20 years."
What they didn't foresee were the steps central banks would take. Policy makers from the Federal Reserve to the People's Bank of China pumped more than $6 trillion into the global economy as they bought everything from Treasuries to gilts, boosting their balance sheet assets to $14.09 trillion as of June 2012 from $4.99 trillion in May 2006, according to Bianco Research LLC research cited by Pimco.
At the same time, the central banks kept global interest rates at about record lows, driving investors into riskier assets such as stocks, junk bonds and mortgages.

A Brief History
The Larénim brand launched into the natural products industry in 2004, but its inception was many years in the making.
Kirsten Corcoran, the founder of Larénim, started the company after searching for truly healthy and beautiful cosmetics and discovering that none were available. For years, Corcoran struggled with such skin issues as: acne, expanded pores, rosacea and irritated skin and eyes, and nothing helped resolve the issues.
During that time, Corcoran spent her mornings in frustration, washing and picking at her blemished skin, and concealing her skin with a thick layer of makeup. Eye shadows and liners burned Corcoran's eyes and mascara made her lashes look a bit "garish." As the day progressed, Corcoran's makeup would start sliding around on her face; at night, her skin would start breaking out again. It started all over the next morning.
After working in the health food industry for 27 years, Corcoran developed a product line that she would want to wear—cosmetics that not only looked beautiful, but also improved the skin with every use. So after assembling a full product line, Larénim® Mineral was launched.
We knew many other women were frustrated with their current makeup and skin appearance…and we were right! Within two years, Larénim® Mineral graced the shelves of over 750 retail stores in the natural products industry! The enthusiasm for our products was overwhelming. Women around the country reported happiness about finally having clear, beautiful skin.
Additional customers expressed joy at not having to wear uncomfortable makeup that gave them burning, irritated skin, eyes or other problems. Many women said they enjoyed our broad, encompassing selection of colors that had the style and sophistication of department store brands.
In December 2006, Nutraceutical acquired the Larénim® Mineral brand. This acquisition allowed Larénim® to significantly increase its production, distribution and marketing, while maintaining a devotion to the healthiest, highest quality and most gorgeous all-natural cosmetic line in the industry!
your natural beauty!

That success is in the eye of the unsuccessful would seem to be the great unspoken dilemma dogging critics asked to consider the work of the rich and famous author and inspirational speaker Malcolm Gladwell. No matter how well intentioned or intellectually honest their attempts to assess his ideas, the subtext of Gladwell's perceived success, and its implications for their own aspirations in the competitive thought-generation business, obscures their judgment and sinks their morale. Nearly a decade has passed since the New York Times dryly summarized Gladwell's first book, The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference (2000), as "a study of social epidemics, otherwise known as fads," and yet, each Sunday, it still taunts perusers of the paperback nonfiction rankings, where it currently sits in sixth place. Gladwell may be merely "a slickster trickster" who "markets marketing" (as James Wolcott put it), or a "clever idea packager" who "cannot conceal the fatuousness of his core conclusions" (science writer John Horgan); he might even be an "idiot" (Leon Wieseltier). But one thing is clear: Gladwell is no fad. He is a brand, a guru, a fixture at New York publishing parties and in the spiels of literary agents hoping to steer writers toward concepts that will strike publishers as "Gladwellian."
By 2005, when Gladwell's second book, Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking, made its debut on the Times bestseller list in the No. 2 spot, the assumption had gradually taken hold that despite Gladwell's bona fides as a New Yorker staff writer, his success was on some level a triumph of style over substance, verisimilitude over reality, ease over rigor. It did not hurt that the closest Blink came to a governing thesis was the foggy notion that too many ideas can spoil an operation.
A gaggle of irate critics, seeking to right this injustice, came charging, pens bravely brandished, only to watch themselves sink into the quicksand of Gladwell's infuriatingly memorable–"sticky," in Gladwellese–concepts and jargon. "Why does spending a weekend with Mr. Gladwell's best-selling books…lead to unhappiness and a pathological fixation on writing in rhetorical questions?" wailed Tom Scocca in the New York Observer. So discombobulated was Scocca by this critical game of pin-the-tail that when he finally stopped spinning, he stuck his sticker straight into a tautology. His solution to the Gladwell question was to posit that Gladwell's style had simply gotten too Gladwellian. "The problem with the Malcolm Gladwell Piece," as he put it, "is that it always seems to contain phrases like 'the problem with the Malcolm Gladwell Piece.'"
That Gladwell's most recent blockbuster monograph, Outliers: The Story of Success, actually purported to be about success only accelerated the vicious cycle of maddening self-reference, begging as it did a critical Gladwellian case study of Gladwell's own "success." The book's premise can be distilled to a single sentence: success is the result of many variables, most of which lie outside the control of a particular individual. Gladwell illustrates this point through various anecdotes and case studies that teach us a great many things we already know. For instance, hard work and education are important. Also: Culture Matters. Know Thyself. Practice Makes Perfect. Or, in the words of the Observer's Alexandra Jacobs, Outliers is about "how super-achievers like–well, like Malcolm Gladwell!–get where they are." And sure enough, in The New York Times Book Review, David Leonhardt took the bait, writing a brief alternative history of Gladwell's life crediting said "success" to his parents' professions. His mother, a psychotherapist, and his father, a mathematician, "pointed young Malcolm toward the behavioral sciences, whose popularity would explode in the 1990s," wrote Leonhardt; in addition, his mother, who "just happened to be a writer on the side," taught him "'that there is beauty in saying something clearly and simply.'"

Developing resilience in your child
Growing up can be tough. Things don't always go to plan. So how can you help your child to develop resilience? Research shows children with good resilience perform better at school and are less likely to take part in risky behaviour, particularly as they enter the teenage years. The education department's principal psychologist, Ron Balderston, describes resilience as a shock absorber for the potholes of life. "Resilient children know how to cope and have developed skills that enable them to flex so they can manage life's blows when they... Read more

Books to get kids reading again and again
There's nothing like a series to inspire the bookworm in your child. Just think of the way kids reacted to the Harry Potter novels. Establishing a good relationship with the first book in a series means children can generally be confident they will feel the same way about the rest of the series. The books in a series often become easier to read as time goes on. Once your child is familiar with the first book's characters, the landscape, style and the author's voice, they can simply sit back and enjoy all the subsequent tales. Another benefit... Read more

MP3 players and hearing loss
An MP3 player, such as an iPod, is an essential item for many kids but listening to them for long periods of time can cause permanent hearing loss. And the experts say the volume doesn't have to be ear-splitting to cause damage. The loudness of sound is measured in units called decibels (dB). Conversation is generally 60dB. Traffic noise can be around 80dB. Louder noises, such as a plane taking off, a motorcycle or firecrackers can range from 120dB to 140dB. Listening to music at levels above 80 decibels is going to damage hearing. The... Read more

Five Star Equities Provides Stock Research on OXiGENE and SIGA Technologies
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Feb 8, 2013) - Lost revenues from expiring patents has played a major part in the Biotech Industry's success in recent years. A total of 676 takeovers of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies have occurred in the past three years, with an average premium of 38 percent, according to data collected by Bloomberg. Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in the Biotech Industry and provides equity research on OXiGENE, Inc. (NASDAQ: OXGN) and SIGA Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SIGA).
Access to the full company reports can be found at:
At the end of the third quarter five of the biggest drug makers in the U.S. held over $70 billion in cash, near cash and short-term investments. Major revenue losses from patent expirations have forced big pharmaceutical companies to look to biotech companies to help fill the void. Pfizer's Lipitor and Bristol-Myers' Plavix, which lost exclusivity in late 2011, had combined annuals revenues of $17 billion at their peaks.
"We're through many cost-cutting programs, restructurings and portfolio arrangements," said Henry Gosebruch, Managing Director, Mergers & Acquisitions J.P. Morgan. "When you put that together with record levels of cash available and improving, but still moderate R&D productivity, we think there will be more big pharma M&A activity in 2013."

Mind your back-up
Veritas tells the hole truth
Symantec has warned of a security flaw in its Veritas Backup Exec and NetBackup software products which might be exploited to bypass security restrictions. Hackers are actively exploiting the vulnerability, US-CERT warns.
The vulnerability arises due to the use of a static password when authenticating to a remote agent. This in turn might allow hackers to bypass the authentication process and download arbitrary files from a vulnerable system. Tricky but the availability of publicly available exploits make this process far easier. Users are advised to apply patches, where available, or else restrict access to the service over port 10000/TCP, the standard port for the Remote Agent. ®

Virginia has a prohibition against hunting on Sunday, an issue that has raised hackles of hunters and questions throughout the state about any relevance to game management.
The so-called "blue law" banning Sunday hunting has deep roots. Despite numerous hunters calling for the prohibition to be overturned, the state's legislators have refused time and again to do so. It appeared to be on track for a possible positive resolution earlier this year before being gunned down again.
In this Fredricksburg Free Lance-Star report by outdoor writer Ken Perrotte, at least one hunter – Matt O'Brien of Tidewater, Va. – believes something may have been done behind closed doors prior to the death of this year's legislative voting. A bill that passed in the Virginia Senate before it was tabled – and ended up dead – in the state's House of Delegates Natural Resources Subcommittee of the House Agriculture, Chesapeake and Natural Resources Committee.
O'Brien believes there was an orchestrated campaign to table the bill and fingers Virginia Republicans for helping do so. Delegates Speaker of the House Bill Howell refutes that notion.
Take a look at the full report here.
What do you think about Sunday hunting "blue laws" that Virginia and a few other states still have? Let us know your thoughts and comments below!

How long ago did you build them? Also, where's the topsoil from?
If it is fungi that break down the wood in hugelkulture, then the process won't include using lots of nitrogen. It is the bacterial break down of organic material that uses so much nitrogen. This may mean the problem of your logs absorbing nitrogen does not exist as it does with mulches, with logs buried and damp it is possible that they will be rotted by funguses that don't not need nitrogen.
What worries me about using wood, is not that, the nitrogen used to rot the wood will leave little nitrogen for plants. It is having heard, years ago that the fungi that parasites on dead wood might spread to live wood. If different fungi parasite dead wood than live wood this does not matter, if you have a parasitic fungus on your wood in your hugelkulture maybe it does.
I read a gardening book but I can't remember which, that talks about using urine, if you have it, to provide the nitrogen, bacteria digesting organic material need. It says that a straw bale will turn to sweet earth in three months if you pee on it. Another book says that you can keep a family in cabbages with the same resource if there are two men or two unprudish females in the family.

Skip to comments.The Anti-Hero [Another Lying Leftie Exposed]
Posted on 02/20/2003 8:14:11 AM PST by aculeus
I met justice William Douglas, the longest-serving member of the Supreme Court, when I was clerking for Justice William Brennan. Douglas struck me as cold and brusque but charismatic--the most charismatic judge (well, the only charismatic judge) on the Court. Little did I know that this elderly gentleman (he was sixty-four when I was a law clerk) was having sex with his soon-to-be third wife in his Supreme Court office, that he was being stalked by his justifiably suspicious soon-to-be ex-wife, and that on one occasion he had to hide the wife-to-be in his closet in order to prevent the current wife from discovering her. This is just one of the gamy bits in Bruce Allen Murphy's riveting biography of one of the most unwholesome figures in modern American political history, a field with many contenders. Murphy explains that he had expected the biography to take six years to complete but that it actually took almost fifteen. For Douglas turned out to be a liar to rival Baron Munchausen, and a great deal o0f patient digging was required to reconstruct his true life story. One of his typical lies, not only repeated in a judicial opinion but inscribed on his tombstone in Arlington National Cemetery, was that he had been a soldier in World War I. Douglas was never in the Armed Forces. The lie metastasized: a book about Arlington National Cemetery, published in 1986, reports: "Refusing to allow his polio to keep him from fighting for his nation during World War I, Douglas enlisted in the United States Army and fought in Europe." He never had polio, either.
Apart from being a flagrant liar, Douglas was a compulsive womanizer, a heavy drinker, a terrible husband to each of his four wives, a terrible father to his two children, and a bored, distracted, uncollegial, irresponsible, and at times unethical Supreme Court justice who regularly left the Court for his summer vacation weeks before the term ended. Rude, ice-cold, hot-tempered, ungrateful, foul-mouthed, self-absorbed, and devoured by ambition, he was also financially reckless--at once a big spender, a tightwad, and a sponge--who, while he was serving as a justice, received a substantial salary from a foundation established and controlled by a shady Las Vegas businessman.
For at least a decade before he was felled in 1974 by the massive stroke that forced his retirement from the Court a year later, Douglas (perhaps as a consequence of his heavy drinking) had been deteriorating morally and psychologically from an already low level. The deterioration manifested itself in paranoid delusions, senile rages and sulks, sadistic treatment of his staff to the point where his law clerks--whom he described as "the lowest form of human life"--took to calling him "shithead" behind his back, and increasingly bizarre behavior toward women, which included an assault in his office on an airline stewardess who had unsuspectingly accepted an invitation from this kindly seeming old man to visit him there. His third marriage, to a woman in her early twenties (the woman in the closet), lasted only two years, and began to disintegrate within weeks of the wedding. After that divorce Douglas speedily took up with two more women in their twenties, marrying one on an impulse but later resuming romantic relations with the other. This fourth marriage might well have dissolved had his stroke held off. As Murphy puts it, Douglas had "buyer's remorse" in the marriage market.
Does any of this matter? It would not--had not Douglas in his autobiographical writings and elsewhere presented his life to the public as exemplary of American individualism and achievement. I cannot begin to imagine his thinking in publishing lies that were readily refutable by documents certain one day to be discovered.
William Orville Douglas was born in 1898 in Yakima, Washington. In his autobiography he claimed that his grandfather Orville had fought in Grant's army at Vicksburg, when in fact Orville had deserted from the Union Army twice without ever seeing combat. Douglas's father, an eccentric itinerant preacher notably neglectful of his children (like father, like son), died when Douglas, the couple's firstborn son, was a young child. Douglas himself almost died of an intestinal disease as an infant. His mother hailed his recovery as a miracle. He became her "treasure" and she declared that he would someday be president of the United States, thus planting in him the seed of a lifelong ambition. It was also in his autobiography that Douglas reported having cured himself of polio by sheer force of will. He wanted to link himself to Franklin Roosevelt, whom he had hoped to succeed as president--with the difference of having actually cured himself of the disease, a feat beyond FDR's ability.
Douglas claimed to have grown up in abject poverty. This was another lie: his mother had been left surprisingly well provided for as a widow, and the family, though poor by modern standards (as most people were a century ago), was middle class. What is true is that Douglas's mother was very tight with money (another parental trait the son inherited, though this one only fitfully); and as a result Douglas believed until he was an adult that the family had been poor. His discovery of the truth led to a lifelong resentment against his mother, who he thought should have paid for him to attend Washington State University, which he believed would have led to his obtaining a Rhodes Scholarship. On his deathbed Douglas told his wife: "I want you always to know that no one has ever been better to me since my mother." Douglas's daughter told Murphy that this was actually an insult, given Douglas's hostility toward his mother.
After graduating from Whitman College in Washington (Douglas claimed that at Whitman he had lived in a tent, when in fact he had lived in a fraternity house, though in hot weather the frat boys sometimes slept outside), Douglas taught high school for two years and then enrolled in Columbia Law School. He claimed to have arrived in New York, having ridden the brake rods of a train or possibly in an open boxcar, with just six cents in his pocket--all lies. By this time he was married, and his wife, a schoolteacher, was his major support in law school. He concealed this in his autobiography, in part by postdating his marriage by a year, and claimed to have worked his way through law school. He also claimed to have heard Caruso sing at the Metropolitan Opera House, though the tenor died the year before Douglas arrived in New York.
Of greater consequence, Douglas claimed to have graduated second in his law school class, which was not true, although he was a good student, and made the law review, and was hired by the Cravath firm (despite looking, according to John J. McCloy, the associate who hired him, like "a singed cat"), then as now a leading Wall Street firm. He quit after four and a half months and fled back to Yakima, his hometown, hoping to practice law there but abandoning the idea after just four days. A spell of unemployment followed, during which he was supported by his wife. He returned to the Cravath firm for seven months and then went into teaching, first at Columbia and then at Yale, where he represented himself as having been a successful Wall Street lawyer. He also claimed to have practiced law in Yakima; he had not.
His academic career was short, lasting from 1927 to 1935, but it was spectacularly successful. Attracted as a student to legal realism, of which Columbia was the hotbed, as a professor he quickly became a prominent member of the movement. Yale soon hired him away from Columbia, with which he had become disaffected by the school's failure to appoint a legal realist as dean. He had made a tremendous impression on Robert Maynard Hutchins, Yale's young dean. When shortly afterward Hutchins became president of the University of Chicago, he offered Douglas an appointment and Douglas accepted, and he was listed for two years in the Chicago catalog as a member of the faculty visiting at Yale. But he never taught at Chicago, instead using his dual status to extract a Sterling professorship and high salary at Yale. He was a consummate careerist.
The legal realists recognized that law is not an autonomous body of thought. (The belief that it is autonomous, and that judges arrive at their decisions by a process of deductive logic or something akin to it, is known as legal formalism, and it retains to this day a strong hold on the legal imagination.) According to the realists, law is an instrument of social policy, and intelligent reform therefore requires an understanding of the consequences of law, an understanding that is itself dependent on social science and empirical inquiry. Douglas knew no social science, but he understood the value of grounding analysis of business law in empirical inquiry, and he organized and supervised a number of ambitious empirical projects. His articles and his casebooks quickly made him a coming figure in corporate and bankruptcy law.
Yet he had plenty of time for boozing, girls, and practical jokes. Once, when the dean of the law school was too drunk to find his way to the railroad station to catch a train to a city in which he was to give a speech, Douglas considerately drove him to the station--and put him on a train to a different city. Another time Douglas sent a note to one of his colleagues that he purported to be from an admirer named Yvonne, who gave her phone number and suggested that they meet for cocktails. When the colleague dialed the number, he discovered that he was calling the city morgue. Douglas's sense of humor also expressed itself in his connoisseurship of popular-song titles, such as "Songs I Learned at My Mother's Knee and Other Low Joints" and "My Wife Ran Off With My Best Friend, and I Sure Miss Him."
Legal realism made a natural fit with the New Deal, and a number of faculty members and recent students at Yale went off to work for federal agencies. Douglas, quickly spotting securities law as an emerging field and becoming an expert in it, became a member of the Securities and Exchange Commission and before long its chairman. His two years as chairman brought notable successes in efforts to regulate the stock exchanges and made him a hero of the second New Deal. Murphy's account of the Wall Street scandals of the period has a surprisingly contemporary ring.
Douglas, according to legal historian (and former Douglas law clerk) Dennis Hutchinson, "found it easy to elbow his way into the back rooms of power through a combination of a reputation for capability, cheek, skill at losing poker games, and drinking hard with the boys." When Brandeis retired from the Supreme Court in 1939 and there was a clamor to appoint a Westerner to the Court, Roosevelt picked Douglas. He was forty. He was also Brandeis's personal choice to succeed him.
It took douglas only a few weeks to discover that being a judge was not to his taste. He missed the excitement of jousting with the Wall Streeters, and he viewed his new job primarily as a stepping stone to the presidency. He came close to being nominated for vice president on the Democratic ticket in 1944; had he been the nominee, he rather than Truman would have become president when Roosevelt died the following year. Bitterly disappointed, he continued to nurse presidential ambitions. He almost accepted the Democratic nomination for vice president in 1948--Truman was desperately eager to have him on the ticket--and probably would have done so had he thought Truman would lose the election, in which event he could expect to inherit Truman's mantle as leader of the Democratic Party. But he shrewdly recognized that Dewey would lose.
As late as 1960, Douglas was still considering a political career. Lyndon Johnson, one of his pals (Douglas tended to clump together with other persons of unsavory personal character), promised Douglas that if he was nominated for president he would make Douglas the vice presidential nominee. Douglas was bitter at the Kennedys for ruining his chances by "buying" the 1960 nomination for JFK. His bitterness provoked a memorable alcoholic binge that Murphy vividly describes.
Douglas's divorce from his first wife in 1954 had placed him in a financial bind from which he never entirely escaped. Her lawyer, egged on by Tommy Corcoran, another of Douglas's unattractive friends from the New Deal days turned enemies, had ingeniously inserted in the divorce settlement an escalator clause whereby the more money Douglas made from his books and lectures, the more he had to give her in alimony--and she lived for a long time and did not remarry. He was now on a financial treadmill. Besides his income from the dubious Parvin Foundation, he lectured constantly and wrote book after book, mainly travel books; he was heavily dependent on publishers' advances. He employed an editorial assistant who eventually became a ghost co-writer of his books.
In the 1940s, when Douglas had thought he had a shot at the presidency, he had been a liberal justice, but respectably so--to the right, for example, of Frank Murphy. In the 1950s, however, he and Hugo Black formed the extreme liberal wing of the Court, and he moved steadily leftward from there, to the point where even in the heyday of the Warren Court in the 1960s Douglas was to the left of any other justice. He became a bete noir of the right and survived three efforts to impeach him, the third a serious one that was blocked by Democratic control of the House of Representatives. The second impeachment effort was provoked by his sensible if premature suggestion--it was during the Korean War--that the United States should begin to cozy up to Communist China in order to divide it from the Soviet Union, a suggestion that later became the foundation of the hated Nixon's foreign policy.
Douglas became a hero not only to radicals and civil libertarians but also to environmentalists. He may not have liked any human being, but he loved nature; and by his books and his personal example, including a well-publicized 185-mile hike along the Chesapeake & Ohio canal towpath in a successful protest against the building of a highway on it, Douglas helped give visibility to the nascent environmental movement. I had a scrape with Douglas's environmentalism when I worked in the solicitor general's office in the 1960s. We sided with the Bonneville Power Administration (part of the Department of the Interior) in a fight with the Federal Power Commission over whether Bonneville or a private power company would build a hydroelectric dam on the Snake River in Idaho. We won the case, which was gratifying, but we were astonished at Douglas's opinion, which declared without basis in the record or the arguments of the parties that no one should build the dam, because it would harm the salmon, and anyway solar and nuclear power would soon supplant the need for further hydroelectric power.
From my account, Murphy's book may seem a hatchet job, with its mountain of often prurient detail about Douglas's personal life and character. Not so. Murphy displays no animus toward Douglas. He does not try to extenuate Douglas's failings as a human being, or to excuse them, or even to explain them, but he greatly admires Douglas's civil liberties decisions, and (without his actually saying so) this admiration leads him to forgive Douglas's flaws of character. The only time his realism regarding Douglas's character falters is when he is discussing Felix Frankfurter. His portrayal of Frankfurter is relentlessly and excessively critical; he sees Frankfurter exclusively through Douglas's hostile eyes.
Murphy is right to separate the personal from the judicial. One can be a bad person and a good judge, just as one can be a good person and a bad judge. With biography and reportage becoming ever more candid and penetrating, we now know that a high percentage of successful and creative people are psychologically warped and morally challenged; and anyway, as Machiavelli recognized long ago, personal morality and political morality are not the same thing. Douglas was not a good judge (I will come back to this point), but this was not because he was a woman-chaser, a heavy drinker, a liar, and so on. It was because he did not like the job. In part he did not like it because he wanted another job badly, a job for which he was indeed better suited. Roosevelt may have made a mistake in preferring Truman as his running mate in 1944. Not a political mistake: Douglas had never run for elective office, and the Democratic Party bosses, whose enthusiastic support FDR thought essential to his re-election, were passionate for Truman. If passing over Douglas was an error (which we shall never know), it was an error of statesmanship. With his intelligence, his toughness, his ambition, his leadership skills, his wide acquaintanceship in official Washington, his combination of Western homespun (a favorite trick was lighting a cigarette by striking a match on the seat of his pants) and Eastern sophistication, and his charisma, Douglas might have been a fine Cold War president.
At least a Douglas administration would not have been afflicted by the cronyism that so undermined Truman's presidency. Douglas had his own cronies, many with character flaws similar to his own, like Lyndon Johnson and Abe Fortas, but they were abler and less manifestly corrupt than Truman's cronies. And unlike Henry Wallace, the vice president whom FDR providentially dropped at the end of his third term in favor of Truman, Douglas was not soft on communism. I do not think that he was ideological at all; he was merely ambitious. I doubt even that he was, despite his later judicial record, a genuine liberal. Douglas was just ornery and rebellious and publicity-seeking: "always fame was the spur," as Ronald Dworkin, one of Douglas's liberal critics, put it.
Thus Douglas's hostility to Frankfurter seems to have been based on professional jealousy rather than on political or jurisprudential disagreement. Come the 1950s and the dimming of his presidential prospects, Douglas gave his rebellious instincts full rein and reveled in the role of the iconoclast, the outsider; he became the judicial Thoreau. Later, when he himself had become an icon of the left, he claimed that had he been president he would not have dropped the atomic bomb on Japan, and would have recognized Red China, and so forth; but these claims cannot be taken very seriously, especially given his complete lack of respect for truthfulness.
Where Murphy can be faulted, though I think not severely, is for his uncritical treatment of Douglas's judicial performance. Other recent judicial biographies, such as the very distinguished biographies of Learned Hand by Gerald Gunther, of Benjamin Cardozo by Andrew Kaufman, and of Byron White by Dennis Hutchinson, have maintained a good balance between the judge's life and his work. But those biographers were dealing with much less interesting personalities; and after fifteen years and seven hundred pages Murphy was entitled to call it a day. About all he does with Douglas's judicial product is quote from a handful of his civil liberties opinions.
The quotations are effective in demonstrating that Douglas was an able judicial polemicist and had the good sense to write his own opinions rather than rely on law clerks, even if they are not really the lowest form of human life. Still, taken as a whole, Douglas's judicial oeuvre is slipshod and slapdash. Here are typical criticisms, none of them by conservatives. "His opinions were not models; they appear to be hastily written; and they are easy to ignore" (Lucas Powe). Their carelessness is rooted in "indifference to the texture of legal analysis, which arises from an exclusively political conception of the judicial role" (Yosal Rogat). "Douglas was the foremost anti-judge of his time" (G. Edward White). A careful study of his tax opinions by Bernard Wolfman and others has documented Douglas's unreasoning hostility to the Internal Revenue Service and accuses him of "refusing to judge in tax cases."
The supreme court is a political court. The discretion that the justices exercise can fairly be described as legislative in character, but the conditions under which this "legislature" operates are different from those of Congress. Lacking electoral legitimacy, yet wielding Zeus's thunderbolt in the form of the power to invalidate actions of the other branches of government as unconstitutional, the justices, to be effective, have to accept certain limitations on their legislative discretion. They are confined, in Holmes's words, from molar to molecular motions. And even at the molecular level the justices have to be able to offer reasoned justifications for departing from their previous decisions, and to accord a decent respect to public opinion, and to allow room for social experimentation, and to formulate doctrines that will provide guidance to lower courts, and to comply with the expectations of the legal profession concerning the judicial craft. They have to be seen to be doing law rather than doing politics.
Douglas was largely oblivious to these rather modest requirements, with which he could easily have complied had he had just a little Sitzfleisch. He liked to say that "I don't follow precedents, I make 'em." Yes, that is what Supreme Court justices do much of the time; but they are supposed to explain why, and in precisely what sense and to what degree, they are departing from precedent. Douglas's disdain for judicial norms is easily illustrated. On a number of occasions he issued stays--which were quickly and unanimously overturned by his colleagues--intended to halt American participation in the Vietnam War on the ground that Congress had not declared war. One can argue from the language of the Constitution that the United States cannot lawfully wage war without a congressional declaration, but the argument depends on a literal interpretation of the Constitution--an interpretation that would also forbid military aviation on the ground that the Constitution expressly authorizes the creation only of land and naval forces--which Douglas contemptuously rejected in every other area of constitutional law. It was Douglas, after all, who had the audacity to rule in Griswold v. Connecticut, the first case to establish a right of sexual autonomy and hence a precursor of Roe v. Wade, that the Court could fashion new constitutional rights based not on the text of the Constitution but on the values underlying it; and so the Third Amendment, which forbids the quartering of troops in private homes in peacetime, became a source of the constitutional right declared in Griswold of married couples to use contraceptives.
The most interesting question about Douglas's judicial performance is whether its deficiencies can be blamed to any extent on legal realism, to which he had committed himself as an academic. Suppose that, upon being appointed to the Court, he had abandoned his political ambitions and set as his goal to become the greatest justice in history. The combination of his youth, his intelligence, his energy, his academic and government experience, his flair for writing, the leadership skills that he had displayed at the SEC, and his ability to charm when he bothered to try (rare as that was, except when he was courting) would have put him within reach of the goal. He was not a genius, as some of his ex-wives and judicial colleagues claimed. He was a very fast worker, which is not the same thing, especially when speed is the product of restlessness and impatience. (He wrote some of his opinions in twenty minutes.)
But law is not the calling of geniuses. There has never been a genius on the Supreme Court, unless it was Holmes. Douglas was certainly very able. Would a commitment to legal realism have stopped him well short of the goal by breeding a cynicism about law that would have prevented him from taking his job entirely seriously? I think that the opposite is more likely, and that the tragedy of Douglas was not that he was a warped human being, or that Roosevelt passed him over for the vice presidential nomination, but that for reasons of temperament--and because the great prize of the presidency seemed for a while within reach--he could not buckle down and commit himself wholeheartedly to the Court and become the greatest of the legal realists.
For it is not true that a judge cannot achieve greatness without embracing formalism. John Marshall, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Robert Jackson were realist judges. Many of the criticisms leveled against Douglas have been leveled against them (and other realists as well), but they have bounced off them because, unlike Douglas, they took the judicial process seriously--even Jackson, whose presidential longings were as intense as Douglas's. For Douglas, law was merely politics. Had he brought to bear all his powers, which were considerable, and injected greater realism and empirical understanding into the work of the Supreme Court, he might have achieved greatness. He could still have summered in the Cascades and chased young women, though he would have been well advised not to marry them, and to go easy on the booze.

Douglas sounds a whole lot like Bill Clinton in this portrait. This is a book I have to read.
FYI Of the 10 worst stock market crashes in the 20th century fully 1/2 took place under FDR, the New Deal, and presumedly (Judge) Douglas. To wit:
#1) 4/17/30 - 7/8/31
294.07->41.22 -88%
#2) 3/10/37 - 3/31/38
194.40->98.95 -49.1%
#4) 9/31/29 - 11/13/29
381.17->198.69 -47.9%
#8) 9/12/39 - 4/28/42
155.92->92.92 -40.4%
#10) 9/7/32 - 2/27/33
79.93->50.16 37.2%
The winds of time are continually shearing away the gilt of FDR's legacy.
Thanks for the ping.
Actually, 3 of those 5 crashes you listed above (#1,4, and 10) occurred under Republican President Herbert Hoover.
FDR was awful, also, of course. Generally speaking, both Democrat and Republican Presidents are awful. There are few good Presidents; America is a great country in spite of the Democrat and Republican Parties, not because of them.

Chasson Randle scored 17 points, Josh Huestis had 14 points and 13 rebounds, and Stanford stunned Oregon on the big stage again by routing the 10th-ranked Ducks 76-52 Wednesday night.
More than two months after Stanford's football team handed Oregon its only loss of the season, the Cardinal (13-8, 4-4 Pac-12) dominated the Ducks from the start for the program's first victory over a top 10 team in almost five years.
Carlos Emory scored 12 points and Arsalan Kazemi had six points and nine rebounds in the first conference loss of the season for the Ducks (18-3, 7-1), whose nine-game winning streak also ended. Oregon had matched its highest ranking since March 2007 this week but surely will take a tumble in the AP poll now.

Shawne Merriman Wants To Go "Lights Out" On Christian LaettnerPosted by nvr1983 on August 17th, 2010
This past weekend was a time of celebration for former Duke great Christian Laettner who was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame as a member of the 1992 Olympic Team (aka "The Dream Team") even if he took the brunt of the jokes during the weekend's festivities. Unfortunately for Laettner and his Blue Devil teammate Brian Davis, the festivities appear to be confined to that weekend as their company Blue Devil Ventures (official website is currently down) appears to have hit a prolonged rough patch after some early success. The company has invested significant sums of money in a variety of projects including several in Durham as well as making bids for the Memphis Grizzlies and an MLS team (D.C. United). Last Monday, San Diego Chargers superstar linebacker Shawne Merriman filed an affidavit regarding a suit against Blue Devil Ventures for failure to repay a loan worth $3.64 million he had given the company in 2007.
According to court documents, the loan, which was due in March 2009, was not repaid and Merriman states that he is owed the $3.64 million principal that he invested plus 10% annual interest — not a bad return for an investor between 2007 and 2010. Merriman has also asked the judge to award him a 10% interest in Blue Devil Venture projects in Atlanta, Baltimore, and Durham, and if those projects fail he would have the right to convert that interest into other Blue Devil Venture projects. If your head is hurting right now, that's OK, because based on these reports Merriman is asking for Blue Devil Ventures to give him the following things:
- His principal of $3.64M plus 10% annual interest
- A 10% share in three of the company's projects
- In the event that any of those projects fail, he gets to convert that 10% share into shares in other (likely more successful) projects
That, my friends, is what we call having your cake and eating it too. Unfortunately it appears that Merriman may be trying to do this with a group of destitute bankers as he is just one of many plaintiffs against the company whose troubles appear to mirror countless others after the collapse of a real estate bubble where people took on more than they could chew.
In addition to currently listed outstanding cases against Blue Devil Ventures, the group also has Chevron on its trial (market cap of slightly over $150 billion), seeking $1.5 million plus interest; and the pair also has several other business ventures (under different names) that have turned sour including one where they were ordered to pay $687,230 plus interest to Bryan Simms. Simms is a former Lehman Brothers senior vice president who left in 2007 (just in time) to join another failed venture of Laettner/Davis in what appears to otherwise be a fairly distinguished career. Based on what we have read about Laettner's responses to questioning, it seems like the end result of all this is another LLC (not Laettner himself) declaring for bankruptcy, leaving everyone involved unsatisfied.

'Lastly the Sabres latched onto winger Mike Grier, an older, slightly more offensive (and expensive) version of Vaclav Varada.

Urban Outfitters (NASDAQ:URBN) is a clothing and accessories retailer that focuses on women between the ages of 18 and 45. URBN runs 4 different store brands: Urban Outfitters (39% of sales), Anthropologie (36% of sales), Free People and Terrain (8% of sales). In 2010, the remaining 17% of sales came from direct to consumer business.[1]
URBN has accomplished an increase in sales without excessive discounting through two key strategies: keeping its inventories lean and high product turnover (Urban Outfitters stores receive new inventory every two weeks). However, In a time when many retail companies are attempting to capitalize on new wealth growing in Asia, URBN's lack of an Asian presence can become a disadvantage. In addition, it's new retail concept, "Terrain" is a garden and home product line. As the amount of home construction has decreased due to the financial crisis it remains to be seen whether or not Terrain can stand on its own as a retail concept in this difficult environment.
Urban Outfitters is divided into separate business segments: retail stores, catalog, e-commerce and wholesale.
The parent company operates four different store chains (revenue contribution in fiscal 2010 in parentheses)
Urban Outfitters sells directly to consumers via catalogs and online sites for each of its store brands.[6]
URBN sells its Free People products through wholesale channels to department stores such as Bloomingdales and Nordstrom (JWN). [7]
Growth at Urban Outfitters depends on the company's ability to expand and open new retail centers (it has opened more than 25 stores annually for the past three years). In recent years, URBN has opened retail locations in Europe. Many retailers have started to establish a presence in Asia in order to profit from new wealth developing in that region. H&M, one of URBN's competitors, has 13 stores in China and 2 in Japan.[9] Urban Outfitters, however, has no plans to establish a presence in Asia meaning it is missing out on a chance to capitalize on a developing market. Although URBN is already well-established in America, its lack of an Asian presence can be a disadvantage, especially since its competitors already have a head start.
Cotton consumption exceeded cotton production for the fifth year in the row, making cotton prices increase by 80.5% from last year.[10] [11] Natural disasters also severely damaged crops in many large cotton producer countries, such as China, India, and Pakistan. This led to decreases in cotton exports from these countries and increases in cotton imports as these countries sought to supplement their supply of cotton. [12][13] With limited cotton supplies and rising prices, retailers will either have to absorb these higher material costs, restructure the composition of their clothing to have less cotton, or pass these higher costs to its consumers. Higher clothing prices or lower quality clothing could discourage consumer spending, resulting in decreased net sales. However, adult or teen clothing retailers may not be too adversely affected as their clothing (which is usually 30-40% cotton based) has more flexibility in their composition and thus, costs. In addition, raising commodity prices in other areas will also raise costs for retailers. While premium price and established brands may be able to pass their higher costs to their consumers, value based companies may not fare as well and may suffer from lower profit margins.[10]
Urban Outfitters sets itself apart from most other clothing and accessory retailers with its boutique-like atmosphere and its focus on fashion (none of its store brands sell basic items).

POLL: Have you seen the new downtown banners?
The heads are coming down.
The public reacted angrily last year when Chattanooga put up banners along Market and Broad streets with images of people whose features were obscured by the words "Chattanooga Happens Downtown."
"We received a lot of negative feedback" about the $77,000 promotion, said Tiffanie Carpenter, director of creative management for the River City Co.
Most of the funding for that promotion by River City, $66,000, came from the city.
Kim White, executive director of River City Co., said the new banners going up will be much nicer, and a bonus is the inclusion of wayfinding signs for visitors to Chattanooga streets.
"They really do brighten up downtown," she said.
River City Co. partnered with several community businesses and the city to come up with $120,000 for the new downtown project. The city contributed $45,000, and partners donated the rest, White said.
The city money is earmarked exclusively for the wayfinding signs, she said.
The project also includes new map kiosks with more brightly colored maps. Two new kiosks also will be installed at Miller Plaza and the Tennessee Aquarium, Carpenter said.
Carpenter said the banners should have an extended life.
"We plan for them to be up the next two to three years," she said.
White said the wayfinding signs should be up for at least 20 years.
"They have a long warranty and a long shelf life," she said.
Wayfinding signs already are in place in the North Shore, the city center and the Bluff View Arts District.
Council Chairwoman Pam Ladd criticized the old banners last year as "ugly" and "horrible."
She said this week that the replacement banners were long overdue -- and she thinks others feel the same way.
"I don't think I'm the only one," she said.

Chicago police chased a robbery suspect from River North into Bucktown and shot him after he tried to run over an officer, according to authorities.
Police said the man is wanted in more than a dozen robberies of North Side convenience stores and restaurants. He was wounded after robbing a Subway shop on State Street just north of Chicago Avenue, police said.
Officers working a robbery mission team pursued an SUV that matched the description of one fleeing the scene to the intersection of North, Milwaukee and Damen avenues. The man tried to run over an officer after backing into a squad car, police said in a statement.
The man did not respond to commands and made suspicious movements inside the vehicle before he was shot, and police said they recovered a weapon at the scene.
The 23-year-old man was taken to Stroger Hospital with a gunshot wound to the arm.
Police from a number of nearby districts responded to the scene after officers called a "10-1," a term used to signal an officer, firefighter or paramedic in distress. Detectives from two of the three city detective areas also responded.
Detectives approached people at the bars that line the intersection, asking if anyone saw anything. Police blocked access to the area and the CTA rerouted its bus traffic around the intersection.
Hours after the shooting, as the bars wrapped up for the night, people stood outside smoking and exchanging stories of the cop cars they saw speeding toward the scene.
The other robberies linked to the suspect usually occurred between 11:30 p.m. and 2:15 a.m. They included hold-ups within two hours of each other at 2200 N. Lincoln Avenue and 300 W. Chicago Avenue early in the morning of Feb. 6.

Tough Non-League Slate For Yale
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Yale football team returns to New Haven on Aug. 18 to begin preparation for the 2013 season. Here is a brief look at the teams the Bulldogs face this fall in what is shaping up as one of the toughest Yale schedules in recent years.
The Raiders, with All-America QB Gavin McCarney, get their feet wet with Air Force (BCS), Albany and FCS powerhouse New Hampshire before Yale comes to Hamilton for homecoming day on Sept. 21.
Senior QB Jeff Mathews, who was the only sophomore to be named Ivy League MVP and is the school's career passing leader, makes his last visit to the Bowl on Sept. 28.
The Mustangs, who won the Big Sky Conference and were 9-3 overall last year, get started with San Diego, Fresno State (BCS), Colorado State (BCS) and Portland State before the Elis head to Alex G. Spanos Stadium in San Luis Obispo on Oct. 5.
The Big Green, who have 2012 Ivy League Rookie of the Year QB Dalyn Williams back in the fold, host Yale on Oct. 12 in Hanover.
The Rams, who lead the Patriot League with three pre-season All-America selections, travel to the Bowl on Oct. 19 for Yale's final non-league game. Fordham plays Villanova and Temple before heading to New Haven.
The defending Ivy champion Quakers are the favorites to take the Ancient Eight title again. Yale heads to Franklin Field on Oct. 26.
The Lions, who have a Stanford transfer in the mix to replace their long-time starter at QB, come to the Bowl on Nov. 2. Brett Nottingham, ranked No. 4 as a pro-style high school quarterback in California on rivals.com, could be running the Columbia offense.
Three key fifth-year (medical hardship) players, including QB Patrick Donnelly, return to Brown Stadium to give the Bears a legitimate shot at an Ivy title. Yale hosts the Bears in the Bowl on Nov. 9.
Co-captain and pre-season first-team All-America honoree Caraun Reid will be the focal point of a Tiger defense that could be a force in 2013. Yale will take on its old rival at Princeton Stadium on Nov. 16.
Pre-season All-America honorees DE Zach Hodges and TE Cameron Brate are featured Crimson players who lead Harvard into the 130th edition of "The Game" on Nov. 23. This will be the Bulldogs' 600th game in Yale Bowl with the 100th season at the famous venue in 2014.
